Chapter 13:
“I wanna tell them…” Nino suddenly spoke up a few days later.
He was sitting on the floor in Ohno’s small office. He should’ve read through the bunch of application forms on his lap - this year’s auditions were coming up in a few weeks - but his mind was distracting him - as always when he was anywhere near Ohno.
On the other hand Ohno was busy scribbling away something sitting at his desk.
“Who?” he asked mumbling.
“Aiba-chan and Sakurai…” Nino said as if that was a matter-of-fact.
“What?” Ohno muttered another question.
“About us!” Nino snapped and pouted at the older man - who seemingly wasn’t paying attention to him at all.
“Douzo…”
Nino gasped at him shocked. He thought Ohno would make a fuss again about making their relationship public…
“Mou! You weren’t even listening to me!” Nino whined pouting again.
“Don’t pout! Your face will remain like that!” Ohno scolded him chuckling as he finished writing then turned toward his lover. “You were talking about telling about us to Sho-kun and Aiba-chan, am I right?” he asked with a charming smile that made Nino’s heart racing like crazy.
“Meanie! Acting like not paying attention at all then you just flash a smile and I can’t stay mad at you…” Nino mumbled lowering his head to hide the embarrassed, pink color on his cheeks.
Ohno chuckled and slid off his chair to kneel in front of him.
“But you love me for it, don’t you?” Ohno asked smiling before leaned closer to kiss Nino.
“Don’t try to change the topic!” Nino complained when their lips parted. “I’m serious here!”
“I know” Ohno nodded.
“Then why don’t you protesting? Or making a fuss… or…” Nino gaped confused.
“Why would I?”
“Eh… Well… last time… Cause you’re older by 10 years… and I’ll be the boss here… And…” Nino blabbed confused.
“I won’t make the same mistake ever again. I lost you once cause I let stupid things like our age-gap, my job or what others might think get between us. I won’t do it again… I don’t mind if you want to publish it in all the magazines…” Ohno smiled at Nino.
“Those weren’t stupid things… You love your job and you’d probably end up in jail cause by our age-gap people might think you’re some perverted old man…” Nino said with the tiniest teasing hinted in his voice.
“I don’t care about those as long as I can have you…” Ohno said firmly gathering Nino in his arms who giggled shyly as an answer…
“Hey, Aiba-chan! How are you?” Nino asked cheerfully when his friend finally answered his call.
“Nino-chan! Why did you call?” Aiba asked.
Nino sighed and rolled his eyes.
“Yeah, I’m fine too, thanks for asking…” Nino retorted mocking.
“Gomen” Aiba said. “But Sho-chan tries to cook right now… Don’t want to leave him alone too long or he’ll burn down the whole place…” he said obviously concerned.
Nino couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
“Mou! Nino-chan! It’s not funny!” Aiba whined. “Anyway, why did you call?” he repeated.
“Oh, yeah! Don’t you want to come over for dinner on Friday?... You can bring your toy-boy too…” he added generously.
“My toy-boy?” Aiba asked confused.
“Sakurai!” Nino said matter-of-factly.
“He’s not my toy-boy!...” Aiba protested and Nino would bet that he was blushing.
“But he is! He’s all ‘Sure, Masaki, whatever you want…’ so you can toy with him to your heart’s content… In short, he’s your toy-boy…” Nino said mocking and laughed when Aiba started whining again. “Jya, see you on Friday!” he chirped than hang up…
“Hey, Jun-kun!” Ohno greeted the stylist smiling brightly as the sun.
“Satoshi-kun! Good to see you” the stylist said when Ohno entered his basement-office - which was quite a rare sight.
Jun eyed his friend a little suspiciously. He didn’t see the dance instructor this cheerful since…
“Oh, my God! Don’t tell me…!” he said eyes wide with horror.
“What?” Ohno asked blinking at the taller man innocently.
“What did he do?” Jun asked demanding. “It’s Ninomiya, isn’t it? What did that brat do?”
“Why do you assume immediately that he did something? He’s not a criminal yet you always speak about him like that!” Ohno protested.
“But he hurt you!” Jun shot back angrily.
“And I hurt him too!” Ohno retorted.
Jun could say nothing at this but kept pouting offended.
“Look, Jun-kun, you’re my best friend and I don’t want to fight with you. But we’re together with Kazu now. It’d mean a lot to me if you’d support us…” the dance instructor said after a short silence.
Jun sighed.
“You know I will if he’s the one who makes you happy…” the stylist said giving in.
Ohno smiled at him brightly at this.
“He is” he said confidently.
Jun just shook his head slightly. Ohno looked like a love-sick teenager.
“What would you do after this? You’ll be the perfect topic for the office-gossip… Dating with our future employer…” Jun asked; as always being the sound of reality.
“I know what I have to do…” Ohno said curtly, his face darkening slightly…
“What are you cooking?” Ohno asked.
He shuffled into Nino’s kitchen curiously leaning into the younger man’s back, dropping an arm over his shoulder in order to be able to peek into his work.
“You know it’s dangerous, right?” the younger man asked and stopped cutting the vegetables.
“But I do nothing!” Ohno protested pouting.
“You just hold me up” Nino retorted turning his head toward Ohno a little.
“But I’m bored!” the dance instructor complained whining.
“None would guess you’re 10 years older” Nino chuckled and wiggled a little to be able to kiss Ohno.
Ohno grinned inwardly, not caring if that was childish but he was happy to get Nino’s attention. Tightening his hug on Nino’s shoulder, he slipped his other arm around his slim waist to lock him close to him till he devoured his lips…
Long forgotten about the dinner he should prepare or that their guests should arrive any minute, Nino moaned into the kiss and snake his arms around Ohno’s neck to push his body even closer to the dance instructor. He just thought about taking things further when…
“Ehm… I thought we were invited for dinner, not a… live show…”
“Aiba-chan!” Nino squealed blushing deep red as he turned toward their guests who stood near the kitchen door.
Aiba was hard to read what he thought about the scene in front of them but Sho’s reaction was loud and clear. His face was beat red, shock and embarrassment written all over it.
“How…? Ohno-kun and Ninomiya-san…? Eh?!”
Nino blushed to the tip of his ears and pressed his back to Ohno’s chest embarrassed, trying to get comfort and regain his dignity from the contact.
“I didn’t plan on telling you this way but… Surprise!...” he said opening his arms wide grinning slightly lopsided. “I guess…” he added mumbled.
“Kazu and me are dating!” Ohno announced proudly.
“Yeah, we figured out that much on our own” Aiba said sarcastically. “But thanks for pointing out the obvious, Oh-chan…”
Nino blushed more and if he’d looked over at Ohno, he’d see the faint pink coloring the dance instructor’s face too.
“Mou! Are you finished with insulting us?” Nino stomped pouting.
“But it’s fun!... Nino-chan being the one teased for once…” Aiba said grinning finally at them.
“Masaki! Stop bullying Ninomiya-san!” Sho scolded his lover now he was over the first shock.
“You should listen to him, he’s a smart man!” Nino chirped in quickly, trying to protect his remaining pride.
At this the three other men burst out laughing and soon Nino joined them too…
Later when Nino managed to get the main distraction (Ohno) and the main danger (Sho) out of his kitchen, he could turn back to cooking. Aiba in the disguise of helping out Nino with the dinner, stayed behind with him.
“So since when does it going on between you and Oh-chan?” Aiba asked curiously. “Not that I mind, not at all! I’d just… never tell you two were together…”
Nino blushed a little again.
“It’s a long story…” he said trying to avoid having to answer.
It might work in Aiba’s case but obviously didn’t when Nino tried… The idol looked toward the kitchen door. Sho and Ohno were chatting and loudly, obviously enjoying themselves, not showing any sign of coming where the two younger were.
“I think that dinner needs quite some time to be ready…” Aiba said pointedly. He was too curious to let Nino off the hook that easily.
Nino sighed giving up.
“Alright then…”
Nino found it weird how easily he could talk about all these years of hardships regarding him and Ohno. Now they were together finally and nothing else mattered. But obviously Aiba felt otherwise.
“Are you crying now?” Nino asked his friend surprised.
“But… but…” Aiba hic-upped. “All this time I teased you being a pervert for touching Oh-chan’s butt… Gomen, Nino-chan…” the young idol said sobbing.
“Oh my… Are you for real?” Nino asked laughing. “Stop weeping, you crybaby…” he said hitting Aiba’s shoulder lightly.
Aiba pouted offended at the hitting but wiped off his tears quickly.
“I see the real you are back… You say mean things again…” Aiba said whining but Nino just laughed at him again.
“Come on! Call the old men to help setting the table…”
Aiba nodded then while Nino made the finishing touches on their dinner, the other three set the table.
They sat over their meal chatting and laughing - even Nino was friendly with Sho instead his usual teasing - just Ohno stayed silent all this time. Nino was the first - of course - to notice his lover’s silent state. He glanced at Ohno from the corner of his eyes and he couldn’t quite read the frown on the dance instructor’s forehead.
“Hey, Satoshi… Are you all right?...” he asked silently but still it got the other couple’s attention as well, due to his close seats.
Aiba and Sho looked at them curious.
Ohno looked up too and seemed to be unusually serious.
“I’ll quit the jimushou…”
A/N: okay, the remaining chapters (you saw it right, it'll last till chap 15 and an epilogue will come too) it'll be mostly fluff, like a lot on the Ohmiya side and just tiny angst which rather concerns Aiba this time... I guess I really miss writing something Aiba-centric cause my subconscious started to work when I'm finished writing this story... XD so hope you're ready to bear with me a little bit longer! ^-^
