Chapter 15:
Weeks passed and Nino still couldn’t come up with a solution on his task in hand. It was frustrating on its own, without his uncle bugging him every second day about it - which he did… Not two weeks left till Ohno’s last day, making Nino more impatient against himself to come up with an idea any idea…!
One afternoon while Sho had a meeting and Ohno had practice with the juniors, Nino lazed around with Aiba in the dressing room just like the old days. Except that now Nino was only pretending to be absorbed in his DS while his mind was busy with his problem; and Aiba too just mimicked to read his manga instead he eyed his best friend, gathering courage to speak up…
“Ne, Nino-chan…” Aiba said finally, breaking the somewhat tense silence in the room. “Oh-chan… will he really quit?...”
Nino turned off his gaming device and dropped it in his lap sighing.
“He will. Even I can’t do a thing to make him change his mind…” Nino admitted.
“Did you really try everything?” Aiba asked inching closer to his friend.
“Forget it this instant!” Nino demanded when he saw the look on Aiba’s face. “I won’t bribe Oh-chan with sex to change his mind” the skinny guy protested.
Aiba sighed loudly.
“One would think you’d do at least this much for your best friend…” Aiba whined and sighed again.
“Sorry but I love Satoshi more than you” Nino said simply and stuck out his tongue at the idol.
They chuckled a little at this but then the gloomy air returned.
“Then what will happen to me?” Aiba asked silently.
“You’ll have a new dance instructor. I promise you, I’ll find someone just as good as Oh-chan!” Nino said firmly.
“But I don’t want just an ‘Oh-chan substitute’! I want him to stay!” Aiba protested. “He was with me ever since I was sold to the freak factory! He was nice to me always, even when I was a pain in everyone’s ass…” Aiba said sulkily. “I don’t want him to leave…”
Nino sighed. It was rare to see Aiba like this.
‘Gomen, Masaki, it’s my fault…’ he thought but he didn’t dare to voice it out.
“I’ll find out something…” he said instead and Aiba just nodded at this.
Once again, the room fell silent…
Ohno promised to drop by Nino’s place that night since he had something to do after work so the younger man went home alone. Flipping through some magazine to kill the time till Ohno’s arrival, Nino laid on the couch when suddenly something caught his interest. Unconsciously he sat up straight while he read it. His eyes sparkled while his mind already spun on full speed. This was it! The perfect solution he was searching for! Nino dropped the magazine grabbing his phone he dialed the number from the page.
“Hello! I’m Ninomiya. I saw your ad… Yes, I’m really interested… I’d like to see it. The sooner the better… Tomorrow? Yes, that would be great! Thank you very much! See you tomorrow then!” Nino closed his phone grinning satisfied.
Just then he heard a knock on the front door. He rushed to open it and immediately dragged Ohno - who was standing there - inside the apartment.
“Hey, Ka…” the dance instructor started but Nino cut him off kissing his deeply.
“Whoa!” Ohno gasped when Nino stopped assaulting his lips just to move on to his neck. “Not that I’m… complaining but… uh… did something… unn… happen…?” Ohno groaned while Nino sucked on the sensitive skin under his ear.
“Less talking, more action!” Nino grinned at him with sparkling eyes and while he captured Ohno’s lips again his hands were already busy stripping Ohno out of his pants…
Barely twenty minutes later, Ohno was laying on Nino’s couch with his younger lover in his arms. Both mostly naked and sweaty men panted heavily from their earlier exercise.
“I’m really not complaining but what’s gotten into you?” Ohno mumbled his precious question into Nino’s hair while he caressed his lover’s shoulder gently.
Nino purred at the caresses and since the orgasm was still buzzing under his skin he took his sweet time before answered the question - not that Ohno was urging him at all.
“I found the result to our problem” he said finally murmuring into the dance instructor’s neck.
“Result?... Problem?...” Ohno mumbled. “Oh!...” he said when the realization his him. “And what would it be?”
Nino probed his chin on Ohno’s chest to be able to look at him.
“Have you ever thought about starting your own business?” he asked with sparkling eyes.
“My own business?” Ohno asked back frowning. “I’m not sure I’m cut for something like that… And I don’t actually see how that would solve our problem either…” he admitted confused.
Nino chuckled softly.
“No worries. I’ll help you in everything…” the skinny man said as he reached out his hand for a magazine on the coffee table.
“Look at this… I called them already; they’re waiting for me tomorrow. I want you to come with me too. I think this place would be perfect but… you must know better what you would need there… So what do you think?”
Ohno studied the ad for a while before turned to his lover with a smile.
“We can give it a try” he said before pulled his boyfriend in for a kiss…
The next weeks suddenly became incredibly busy for both of them once Ohno gave his final consent to Nino’s idea. There were several things to be taken care of and the most important was…
“What is this, Kazunari? Is this some kind of joke?” his uncle demanded an explanation shaking Nino’s report in his hand.
“That’s not a joke, uncle. That’s my solution to our problem in hand” Nino said calmly. Once Ohno agreed to go with this, Nino decided to push this though no matter how much his uncle might not like the idea. “The contract’s written by those we gave all our partners. Also it fits into your wish too…” Nino reminded his uncle.
“But it concerns only Aiba-kun. What about the juniors?” his uncle asked.
“That’s solved too. Yamamoto and Nakamure will take them over. Divided by age, they’ll form two groups of them…” Nino explained. “They both were Ohno’s trainees so it won’t be a problem. They talented and professional”
His uncle studied him for a while before turned his attention back to the report in his hand to read it through quickly one more time. Nino just stood in front of him calmly. He was sure that in the end the old man will agree. It was his interest too after all.
And again he was proved to be right.
“Alright. I gave you my permission to it. But it will be your responsibility to handle the media if anything leaks out! Got it?” the old man asked seriously.
“Hai!” Nino nodded an smirked inwardly.
So far everything went just as he planned. Only one more thing left…
“Hey, Sakurai manager-san!” Nino called after the older man when he spotted him on the corridor.
The manager sighed loudly.
“I started to hope you stopped calling me that…”
“Why would I? That’s your name and position…” Nino said matter-of-factly.
Sho just rolled his eyes at that reasoning.
“Anyway, what can I help you?” the manager asked smiling.
“Dance practice starts again next week. Bring him here” Nino said grinning, handing a card to the older man.
Sho looked at it then grinned back at Nino.
“So everything goes as it’s planned?” he asked.
Nino put him put to his little plan so he wasn’t surprised at all.
“As a dream!” Nino grinned wider. “But not a word to him!” he reminded Sho seriously.
“Not a word…” Sho repeated obediently and made a motion with his hand as if he’d pulled a zipper closed his mouth.
“Good” Nino nodded satisfied. “See you later, Sakurai manager-san!”
Nino waved goodbye to the older man then headed toward Ohno’s dance hall. He wanted to spend as much time with him there as he could. That was their special place but not much longer. So he wanted to use it as long as he could…
“Where are we going?” Aiba asked confused when Sho put him in the van one afternoon. “I don’t remember to have any location shooting or anything like that scheduled for today…” the young idol said forcing his mind to recall his schedule.
“Dance practice” Sho said simply as he got behind the wheel.
“Dance pra…” Aiba gaped at his lover-manager. “No! I refuse! Turn back this instant cause I’m not going!” Aiba protested kicking out with his leg in frustration.
Sho just chuckled at him.
“It brings back memories… When you act like this…” Sho grinned at his boyfriend. “You’re cute when you’re angry, Masaki… But we can’t turn back. He’s waiting for you already…”
“I refuse!” Aiba repeated. “I declare it as kidnapping!... I won’t dance to him! I’ll make his life a living Hell! You know I can, Sho-chan!...”
Aiba kept fuming for the rest of the car-ride while Sho simply listened to him amused. He really was cute when he was angry! His face turned all red and his lips curled in an adorable pout…
“We’re here…” Sho said as he parked the can in front of a huge building.
“What’s this place?” Aiba asked frowning.
“His dance studio is up there…” Sho said pointing at an upper floor of the building.
“So I’ll even have to come out here every time I have a dance practice?!” Aiba said completely scandalized. “Oh, he’s sooo dead…” he mumbled under his breath as he followed Sho into the elevator and up to the studio…
The young idol was still fuming but the most unexpected surprise waited for him once he entered the dance studio.
“Oh-chan!?”
“Hajimemashite, I’m Ohno Satoshi. I’ll be your dance instructor starting today. Yoroshiku!” the older man said and grinned at Aiba.
“But… How…? Why…? Eh?!”
Suddenly someone burst out laughing behind him. Aiba quickly turned on his heels.
“Nino-chan?!... What’s going on?... Mou! Someone tell me already!” the young idol whined looking at the three widely grinning figure around him.
Nino walked up to Ohno and putting his arms around his waist he leaned into the older man’s side.
“Welcome to the Ohno Satoshi Dance Studio!” he announced smiling at his best friend. “I told you I’ll find out something…” he said proudly.
“I still don’t get it…” Aiba mumbled.
Sho took his hand with a gently smile on his lips.
“Ohno-kun formed his own dance school and signed a contract to become one of the jimushou’s outer partners and like this he could remain your dance instructor…” Sho explained.
“And you knew about this conspiracy?”
“Of course I did!” Sho said matter-of-factly and laughed. “As your manager and boyfriend, I have to know everything that concerns you…” he said kissing Aiba’s cheek.
“Traitor… You said nothing to me…” Aiba mumbled. “You all set me up!” he said whining.
He was touched and annoyed in the same time but most of all he was happy - though there was no way he’d admit it to the others!... Not that it was needed. They all knew him well enough.
“Okay, I don’t want to be the party-pooper but we have work with Aiba-chan” Ohno said. “So, Sho-kun, Kazu… if you wouldn’t mind leaving…”
“I do mind!” Nino chirped in brattily. “But… I understand you have to work…” he added with a sweet smile and tilted his head back so Ohno could kiss his lips. “I’ll be waiting for you at home…” he breathed onto Ohno’s lips after they broke the kiss.
“Like the other day?” the dance instructor asked with tiny sparks in his eyes.
“Maybe…” Nino whispered back smiling.
“Oi! Enough with the live show!” Aiba’s voice broke their small bubble. “You two are really the biggest perverts I’ve ever met!”
“Says the boy who practically raped his own manager!...” Nino sing-songed and stuck his tongue out on his friend.
Yet he let Ohno go with a final peck on his lips and left the dance studio with a completely embarrassed, beat red Sho following him…
A/N: okay hands up those who'd guess this solution of the situation? was it good? bad?... anyway, sorry it it turned a little Aiba-centric in the end... I guess, my ichiban just demand my attention back to him XD and now I'm off to post epilogue too! ittekima~su! ^-^
