Aiba sat silently in the big sofa in the middle of big living room. The house is nice, its maybe too big for his liking, but it clean with many windows that make the sunshine can shining the house from every side, and also some trees that he could seen in the backyard. But despite that, Aiba could feel nervous from all over the place, specially from the middle age woman that seated in front of him and said nothing after she told him to sit down, and the silent just make everything ten fold scarier.
Aiba shuffle in his seat didn't really know what to do, his throat felt dry but he afraid to take the glass, because he not sure if his hand wouldn’t shake when he took it. The lady cleared her throat taking Aiba intention all at once. The lady is clearly passed her 50 but Aiba still can see the beauty in her, she wearing a nice home clothes that Aiba suggest that it will cost five of his own mom home clothes (or maybe ten Nino’s mum clothes because being economical is already in his best friend family blood), and in her sweater he see a tiger print embodies or lace which Aiba really itchy to ask where she buy that or maybe she made it by her self, but the fact that the one who wear it is Sho Sakurai’s Mom make him hold his tongue.
“So” Sho’s mom started, and Aiba all ear now “You are dating my son?” Sho’s mom said in a clear voice without any hint of emotion.
Aiba eyes popped out as he gulp down. They never try to hide their relationship, but neither they announced it to the world, more so to Sho’s family. Aiba thought that maybe the older man haven’t found the right time to tell his family, but actually Aiba didn't even know whether Sho’s family acknowledge their relationship or not, because Sho never invited him to his house alone without the other members.
“I-I-I…” Aiba said but didn't really know what to say. Bad thought flown in his mind, how if Sho’s mom didn't give them her bless?, how if Sho’s mom against their relationship and told them to break up?, how if she already told Sho to break up with him?, and other bad things keep coming to his blank mind.
“Dont denied anything,” Sho’s mom said after the silent surround them for a while. “Because I know, I always know, even though he never said anything.” She added in a whisper that barely there like she talk to her self, but Aiba can hear it clearly. Then She continued in a louder voice and look straight piercing Aiba eyes. “His eyes shine differently when he look at you.”
All Aiba can do is just nodding his head slowly few times. Because actually that the first thing that make Aiba fall in love to the older man, the way his eyes shine brightly whenever they eyes meet, and in few years after he realise that those sparkling eyes only reserved for him, those eyes always shine, from the way Aiba see it, but it shine differently whenever it look at another person. And it makes Aiba thought that maybe, maybe Sho have the sam feeling with him. Thankfully when he brace him self to tell Sho his feeling, the older man turn out to have the same feeling for him.
“I won't said anything that against your relationship, but in one condition.” Sho’s mom continued in a stern voice that left no place for argument.
“O-o-one condition?”
“Yes, just one” She said and Aiba felt more that before that her eyes look really piercing not only into his eyes but also into his heart, make he felt like someone put a bucket of ice in his back. “Show your love to the world” She stated.
“Eh?” Aiba said dumbfounded, he already thought some scary things like Aiba had to go to college and finished it in excellent mark, or maybe quit from arashi or another things like that. It isn't mean that showing his love for Sho to the world is something easy, but at least it not something impossible to be done.
“Yes, if you serious about him, then show the world that he is yours and you are his, because I don't want my son to live in uncertainty about his relationship with you. And with that, me and the rest of the family will know that you are serious about him. You do, do you?” Sho’s mom said again, more intense this time.
“Ye-yes of course I do! I love him more than anything” Aiba said almost shouting.
Sho’s mom gave her first smile that day, “I will give you no deadline, you can do it whenever you like, but remember to tell me when the time come, because I want to be the first to witness it.”
“Yes Sakurai-san I will do it.”
“Until that day come, I will still be Sakurai-san to you” She said softly and Aiba get it, what implied behind those words, it mean that she wont give her blessing before Aiba declare his love to Sho.

Aiba sigh deeply and fall to the couch next to his best friend who, like usual, busy playing his beloved DS. “Ninooo~ “ Aiba started but the younger man give no reaction, he maybe even didn't realise that Aiba seat beside him. “Ninooo~” he tried again and glance at his right to see the frown in Nino face, signing that Nino still didn't hear him. So he dare to take the last try, “Nino Nino Nino Nino~” Aiba whined and shaking the younger man’s hand in process. A game over sound can be heard from the little device, Nino turn his head looking at Aiba with deathly glare.
“YOU! you better have a good reason for that!” Nino hissed and despite being afraid of the younger tantrum, Aiba just pouted.
“How can you both did that?” Aida asked out of nowhere. Nino blinking twice.
“Me? Did what? With who?” Nino asked back confused, he used to Aiba random brain that will asked whatever things (also mean anything) that flow trough his mind. And being Aiba best friend ever since forever, mostly Nino will understand what Aiba actually mean, but not this time, he really didn't know what Aiba think about. “Sorry, but I completely lost here.” Nino said again still looking confused. The pout and the troubled expression that never leave Aiba face, indeed make him a little bit worried, maybe (just maybe) it about something serious.
“You and Riida” Aiba whined, like stating something obvious that Nino and the whole world should already understand.
“What about me and Ohchan?”
“How could you both did that?” Aida whined again, and Nino almost rolled his eyes.
“Did what?” Nino still couldn't follow.
“You know, make everyone know that you had each other and all, or make people didn't even bat an eyelash whenever you both did all those kinship, or I don't know, making both your parent agree about your relationship.” Aiba shrugged.
Now Nino really felt worried, he know his best friend wasn't those whining type, and sakuraiba pair look fine, so he need to know why he suddenly bring this topic. “Okay, tell me whats the matter? Something wrong with you and Sho?” He asked the older man, “And from the beginning please, because i’m still lost here.” Nino added when he see Aiba start to open his mouth ready to speak.
Aiba pouted more but nonetheless tell Nino everything from the very beginning, and tell every single detail including the tiger printed lace, that make Nino roll his eye.
“So? What is the problem? Just do it, show that you love him.” Nino said simply.
“It easy for you, you and Riida already all over each other since as far as I remember, but you know like what Sho-chan is, he’s not very fond of skin ship in front of camera.” Aiba lowered his head.
Then suddenly a great Idea pass to Nino’s mind. “Who said it had to be on camera? She said just as long as she and many other people see it, right?” Nino smirked and his eyes shining with the idea.

“Jun?” Aiba called the youngest member, who busy with papers about their next concert.
“Yes?” Jun answer while scratching something in a piece of paper, not raising his head from the paper.
“Do our dance and position for the concert already settled?” Aiba asked from the door way didn't dare to step further to the room, afraid he will make a wrong step and make the paper mountain fall down. And few week before concert are Jun most sensitive state.
“Yes.” Jun finally raise his head and look Aiba in the eyes. “Why?” he frown because, never before his other band mates asking about this, they used to agreed on whatever Jun gave them. Which is a blessed from Jun side, because he can do many thing and creat anything for their concert, and the other will agree about it.
“Can I see it?” Aida said in a low voice.
“No!” Jun said sternly, and Aiba mouth hanging open with wide eyes and blank face, clearly shock with the youngest answer, Jun have to get a grip to prevent the laughter that start to creeping in his face. Jun cough softly to return Aiba focus to him. “I said no.” Jun raise his hand to stop Aiba cutting him “At least until I heard the reason behind it.”
So Aiba told Jun the story from the very beginning, Jun nodded in some part of the story, including Nino’s idea to love his problem. After he told the story, he can see that Jun grinning, and he know that his friend put a prank on him. “You spend to much time with Nino.” Aida pouted.
“Well, don’t blame me, we all spend almost 15 years together, it is you the weird one, because you still fall for his prank after all this years.” Jun laughed and patted the seat next to him, after removing some mountain paper from top of it. “Here take a seat. Nino already told me the basic line. But I want to know from your side, what exactly you plan to do?”
Aiba seated next to Jun, as Jun open a big blue print of the dome. The blue print mark with Arashi colour, stating when and where they will moved trough out the concert.
“Here, can you see this one?” Jun pointed at one part of the paper. “It’s the best place and best time for your plan, I can arrange the seat and get you the best seat for your upcoming special performance.” Jun smirk feeling proud of what he day plan for his friend. “Are you in?” Jun asked raising one of his mighty eyebrow. Aiba didn't answer but from the bone-crashing hug that he get from the taller man, he know what his answer is.

Finally the awaiting day has come. Aiba already prepared everything to make it perfect. he even did a rehearsal before, with Nino as Sho substitute and Jun watching them from the audience seat.
“Good luck!” Jun said and patted his shoulder.
“One chance, don't missed it!” Nino said.
“Eh what chance?” Ohno asked as he walked in to the green room with Sho. But despite giving answer, Nino grin and hug Ohno immediately, half to distract the oldest and half because he just want to do it.
“Hmmmm Ohchan smell so nice today” Nino said as he inhale from the crook of Ohno’s neck.
“Really?” Ohio said and softly patted Nino’s hair, clearly distracted from his earlier question. Nino gave a winning smirk from Ohno’s neck.
‘One down’ Nino thought “one more to go’. And he look at Sho direction who walk himself closer to Aiba. They didn't tell Sho or Ohno about the plan, Aiba want to keep it secret from Sho, so Sho’s mom wouldn't think that it was an acting. Nino didn't said a word to Ohno, because he afraid that the oldest will accidentally tell Sho in half-sleep state.
“Are you okay?” Sho asked his lover, “Are you waiting for something today? You look more worried than ever, you even cant sleep yesterday, right?”
“Eh? You know?” Aiba asked back shocked, because he thought Sho didn't know, he seem to be in deep sleep yesterday.
“How could I didn't know, if you keep turning and tossing around trough all the night.” Who laugh and ruffle Aiba’s hair. And Sho’s laugh work like wonder to Aiba’s mind, suddenly half of his worries fly away. “So, something happened?” Sho asked again.
“No Sho-chan, nothing at all.” Aida grin wide and pecked Sho cheek.

The song started and the other three member separated to their own designated place, leaving the middle stage for Sakuraiba pair. The Aiba saw her, Sho’s mom seating in the chair choose by Jun. Aiba look to the opposite place at the stage, and find Sho still waving to the audience, stating that he didn't know that his mother coming to their concert.
‘Now or never’ Aiba chanted and made his mind. He came closer to where Sho standing, and put his arm around the other man shoulder. Aiba make Sho walking with him to the spot where they should be standing. Sho look at Aiba on his side feeling confused why his lover suddenly getting attach to him, but Aiba didn't look back at him, he continue to look at one spot, even tough his hand still waving in random direction, that Sho know it just an autopilot action. Sho follow Aiba stare and saw what he stare, or who that he stare. There seated in front row, her mother, her own mother, Sho lost on what happening here, she didn't wait that she will come to the concert. But before Sho could wonder why his mother there, seated nicely in front row or why now he and Aiba standing in front of her, he felt a moist warmness on his cheek, and her mother face broke into the widest grin that Sho ever look, along with a loud cheer from the other fans. He look to his side and realise that Aiba just kissed him, Aiba just kissed him in front of thousand fans, and more important Aiba just kissed him in front of his own mother. Sho put his hand to cover his cheek, look dumbfounded to Aiba, but the other man just smiling innocently to him and nudge him to wave to his mother direction. In blank state Sho just did what Aiba want him to do. He waves to his mother direction, and get another surprise when he saw that her mother giving them both two thumbs up.
‘What the hell is happening here?’ was all Sho can thought for the rest of the concert. He didn't see his mom again after that, the seat leave empty. the other band mates didn't said a words, which in arashi word mean that they know something (because Jun is really strict when it come to concert, even one step wrong move can bring a deathly glare from the youngest, so when Jun didn't said a word even though Sho sure that he saw what Aiba just did, make him know that the other member know about this all, whatever it is that going on).
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Aiba return to their green room, after the concert is done. He fall exhausted in his couch. He felt like he just finish climbing the himalaya. He took his bag and rummaging for his phone. Who already try to concert him whenever there a chance, but Aiba succeeded to get away from it. It isn't that Aiba didn't want to explain but he thought that his explanation will just make the older concentration gone, and they still need him to rap, because if Sho cant rap then who will?. He decided to explain it all after the concert is finished.
The door opening while Aiba still search for his phone, showing breathless Sho that straight asked him without even make himself take a rest “Masaki what is it all about? Explain to me everything! Now!”
“Ah Sho-chan!” Aiba said brightly contrast to the older threaten aura. When he found what he looking for, he open it and ignore Sho for a while. Sho watch this and felt his anger boil (no, he can never get angry to Aiba, but well it just understandable, when he ask for explanation and his boyfriend just ignore him for some stupid phone). Aiba shrieked happily and his face shown like he win the greatest jackpot prize ever.
“Sho-chan arigatou!” Aiba said and running to Sho, hugging him tightly and kissing every available part of Sho’s face that he can reach. Sho left dumbfounded for the second times that day, but not like the first one, he let it passed this time, because he had to do his job. Kissing Aiba back with the same enthusiasm.
Mean while on the table, a phone laying helplessly being forgotten, a phone that shown an email written ‘from now on call me mom’.

EXTRA 1 : Nino’s Idea
“Just kiss him in the concert.” Nino said simply.
“Eh? But wasn't it will become showing your love to the dome?” Aiba asked back confused.
“No, because if you kissed him, when it time to record our DVD, then our DVD will have a footage of you kissing Sho, and the DVD will be sell trough all the countries, and at the end the world will see your declaration of love. If you did it not on DVD recording time, then our fans still witness it, and in one way or another they will tell another fans about it, and it will spread trough the world, at the end the world will still know your declaration of love.”
Aiba tried to think about it for while, but seeing no other way out, al he can do is nodded.
EXTRA 2 : Sho’s Mom Plan
She opened the door happily, her son already told her that his friend will come over today, and she really hope it will be Aiba. She knew that her son had a feeling for arashi brightest member, and she really hope that they both making progress. Her smile become wider when see Sho and Aiba stood there in front of the door. But it died in instant when she see they not alone, Jun, Nino and Ohno also there to greet her.
She told them all to come in, the awkward distance between Sho and Aiba didn't missed from his eyes. She also noticed on how Nino and Ohno’s hand are clasp together, a slight feeling of jealous come to her, she want her son and Aiba can be like that too, to be able to show their love freely.
‘If my son didn't make a move, then I will.’
_THE END_
Hope its okay. Comment are very welcome <3
