Summary: Sho has been watching Nino for a long while now... and Nino never knew he existed. Why? Because he's an angel from Heaven.
Disclaimer: So far I only own two photosets of Sho and a set of Arashi playing cards. I wish I'd own Arashi, but no. I don't. ._.
A/N: YES FINALLY DONE. After numerous ice buckets, basins of cold water, examination registrations and my accounting test, I FINALLY UPDATED. *COUGH COUGH* ._. It's been a horrible January thus far. >:
Nino's apartment is pretty well-furnished and evidently well-lived in. Sho shuffled in slowly after Nino, looking around at his collection of books, games and gaming magazines that piled up in neat little stacks around the living room.
"Make yourself at home, Sho-chan," Nino said as he went to the kitchen to get some drinks. Sho was left to look around Nino's living room, seeing somephotos of a youngeNino with his parents with a small smile on his face. He turned to see a shelf filled with various manga series and reached out for a volume, thumbing through it curiously.
"That's my favourite series," Nino said as he returned with a tray filled with two glasses of water and two cups of piping-hot instant ramen.
"Ah... cup ramen..." Sho said as he shuffled over to sit beside Nino. Nino grinned at him.
"Just wait for a short moment. I'll put on a movie," Nino said as he looked through his DVD collection, "hmmm The Ring... sounds good, doesn't it?"
Sho looked at him curiously.
"What is that?" he asked.
Nino paused for a moment before snickering and replying, "we shall see."
As Nino started up the DVD player, Sho picked up the cup noodles carefully, aware that the smoke rising from the cup noodles were probably warning him against touching it carelessly. He closed his eyes as he let the fragrant smell of the noodles waft slowly into his nose.
"Is this what it's like to smell something nice to eat?" Sho asked. Nino turned with a laugh and headed over to pat Sho on the head.
"Yes," Nino said, "and this smells so enticingly good, doesn't it? The best thing is... it's tastier than it smells."
"Really?" Sho asked. Nino nodded, gesturing him to try. Sho picked at the noodle with his chopsticks, only to see it sliding back down into the cup. He frowned as he tried to pick it up again, but once more it slipped back down into the hot soup with a light splatter. Nino looked on with an amused expression on his face.
"Shall I help you?" Nino said as he reached over to Sho's hands, positioning his right hand to hold the chopsticks correctly.
"Here we go, now relax your hand and watch," Nino said as he laid his hand over Sho's and picked up a small portion of noodles by manuerving Sho's fingers. Sho looked on in amazement as he watched the noodles glitter like gold under the living room light.
"I think I can do it," Sho said as he tried his best on his own, this time successfully picking up some noodles and bringing it to his mouth. But he was in for a rude shock- the noodles were so hot that he jerked his lips back from the burning sensation, hissing as he felt his lips tingle.
"Sho? Are you okay?" Nino asked worriedly when he heard him.
"I think it's too hot," Sho said, "I burnt my mouth."
Nino sighed with a wry smile on his face as he laid Sho's chopsticks down on the table before cupping his cheeks and bringing him close to kiss his unsuspecting lips.
Sho closed his eyes as he felt a rush of indescribable pleasure run down his spine at the feel of Nino's warm mouth on his. Nino nipped at his full, sensitive lips, gently massaging it and caressing it with his moist tongue to slowly ease the burn away. When Sho felt him slip his tongue playfully into his mouth to tease his own tongue, he let his arms rest around Nino's waist. Nino drew back slowly, panting breathlessly.
"Did I kiss it better?"Nino asked. Sho nodded with a light blush and responded with a short, light peck on Nino's mouth.
"This is my thank you," Sho answered.
Nino grinned. "You learn fast. But remember to blow on the noodles before eating them. It helps. Now, for the movie.."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After an hour and a half, Sho sat right where he was, his face frozen stiff in fear.He turned to Nino who stared right back at him, clearly amused.
"... what was that...?" Sho murmured uncertainly, feeling his body tremble lightly.
"No..." Nino said fearfully, pointing to some place behind Sho, "what is that?"
Sho turned his head slowly, following Nino's pointing finger and suddenly felt a hand grip the back of his neck.
"AHHHH!"Sho jumped out of his seat, and Nino rolled off the sofa, holding his stomach as he burst into fits of laughter. Sho pouted and gave Nino a smack on the shoulder.
"Don't do that!" Sho complained.
"But you have to admit that it is something new that you felt," Nino said, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes, "you have never been afraid of things, and you have certainly never been annoyed at something ever."
"Nino..." Sho could not help but feel a warm fuzzy feeling bubble out of his chest at the fact that Nino was already trying to expose him to many different experiences as he could. And it seems that every new thing he was introduced to was giving him a whole new reason to be thankful for becoming a human.
"When you're better," Nino said, "we should go to the amusement parks. I'm sure those heights and all are nothing to you. You have practically thrown yourself off Tokyo Tower, so it can't be much of a problem."
"Somehow I'm getting the feeling that I won't like that either..." Sho said with a grimace.
"Oh, don't worry about that or the movie," Nino said as he laid himself gently on Sho, resting the back of his head against his chest and under his chin, "I have a way to make you forget that."
Sho looked down at him in surprise before wrapping his arms around Nino to cuddle with him. "And... how are you going to do that?"
"Well..." Nino drawled as he sat up and turned to straddle Sho on the sofa, "perhaps the same way that I cured you of your scaulded lips just now."
Sho shivered lightly as he felt his cheeks flush again. Nino chuckled as he laid his head back down on Sho's chest, wrapping his arms around his muscular body.
"But before that... I feel like cuddling," Nino said brattily. Sho nodded, closing his eyes as he let the warmth of Nino's body relax him against the sofa. Neither of them wanted to move at all- their tangle of limbs and the way that their arms held each other close was more than enough.
"Where else do you think we should go?" Sho murmured.
"One would have thought that you would have considered these before you jumped," Nino remarked and considered the possible options. Sho soon had an idea.
"Hey.. I want to see some flowers..." Sho said. Nino looked at him, arching an eyebrow.
"You know, if you want flowers, there's always the florist," Nino suggested, "though I think buying flowers would be so impractical since I won't know what to do with them."
"No not that," Sho said, "I want to see the sakura flowers."
Nino blinked,not understanding why Sho would want to pick a sight that he would probably had seen countless times as an angel.
"But Sho, I think you would have seen them often enough, right?" Nino said.
"Well yes," Sho admitted, "I did see them from time to time as an angel. But somehow... I get the sense that it would feel very different if I view them through human eyes."
"Well...that doesn't sound too bad an idea. We should see them soon though," Nino said, "spring is ending soon."
"How about now?" Sho said eagerly. Nino laughed as he helped Sho off the sofa and dragged him out of the apartment.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sho took a deep breath of the surroundings, feeling the crisp air rush in and out of his lungs. The sun shone high in the sky upon the pair as they strolled hand in hand towards the park.
"So, how is life as a human so far?" Nino asked curiously. Sho sighed in bliss as he took in the rich surroundings around them.
"I do not think I could have had anything better," he said, "I know that anyone would give everything for immortality, invincibility or even the ability to move at the speed of thought. But this... this is something that people often take for granted."
"What?"
Sho breathed in deeply once more and cast a meaningful look at Nino. "Being able to taste the best food... being able to smell anything....being able to feel your heart beat and to feel yourself breathe. Basically... being truly alive."
Nino nodded and linked arms with him, resting his head on Sho's shoulder, "I guess that as someone who had been deprived of those abilities before, you would know that more than anything."
Sho hummed in response, closing his eyes as he felt the wind caress his face.
Finally... for the first time ever, he could feel the wind in his face. And it didn't matter that he had no wings. Not when Nino was all he had ever needed.
"We are here," Nino's gentle voice prompted him to open his eyes.
Sho inhaled sharply as his human eyes beheld the most beautiful sight before him.
A fountain stood in the middle of the park, surrounded by paths that are lined with sakura trees. The trees shed their petals little by little, to the amusement of little children who played beneath them.
"This... is so beautiful," Sho commented as he turned to Nino, "and to think I get to see this with you."
"Come," Nino beckoned, entwining their fingers together as he led them down the path to one unoccupied sakura tree. They relaxed on the grass, leaning against the trunk of the tree. Nino made himself comfortable by returning his head to Sho's shoulder and his stubby fingers to interlock with Sho's own. They sat beneath the tree for a while, saying absolutely nothing. But a knowing smile played on both their faces as they realised that they needn't say anything at all.
"This is more than I could ever ask for," Sho said, his voice full of emotion, "you do not know how glad I am to be able to see this with you."
"Mmm..." Nino said seriously, "but life is not always so blissful, you know. There will be disappointments and..."
"I know that," Sho said, " and I accepted my share of disappointments when I was standing on top of Tokyo Tower yesterday. These are precisely what makes us all human, doesn't it?"
"Aren't you scared of facing them?" Nino asked.
"Nope," Sho replied as he dropped a light kiss on Nino's cheeks, "because you will be there to face them with me, won't you?"
Nino sniffled and nodded, feeling some tears coming to his eyes. Sho leaned over, kissing them away on Nino's cheeks.
"I promise," Nino whispered, "I promise that I will stay with you and face them all with you."
"Then I'm just as invincible as I would be as an angel," Sho answered confidently as he tugged Nino by the hand, pulling him close and stealing Nino's lips once again. Nino's eyes fluttered shut as he clutched at Sho's strong arms which held their bodies firmly together. They drew apart for a breathless second, feeling the wind breeze coolly past their moist lips before bringing them together fiercely, deepening the kiss as their emotions and heartfelt passion for each other flowed forth, surrounding them in a hazy whirl like the wind-blown sakura petals around them.
(NC-17 ALERT.KIDS, PLEASE LOOK AWAY. OR AT YOUR UCHIWAS. )
Sho's nerves were overwhelmed as he felt Nino's naked form rest comfortably on top of him, the warmth of their bodies seeping into each other's skin. There were no words that could describe how absolutely heavenly it felt feeling Nino's smooth skin against his own.
"I know you will like this," Nino whispered as he trailed his hands on Sho's sides, sliding slowly up his body to rest on the pillows, pinning Sho's body beneath him. Sho could feel the excitement and anticipation pounding hard against his chest with every beat of his heart. Nino leaned down, planting a kiss on the side of Sho's neck before licking a fiery trail from his nape to the back of his ear. He dared himself to tease the shell of Sho's ear with his tongue before dipping to catch his earlobe between his teeth and tug at it very gently. Sho shivered lightly as he felt the nip of Nino's teeth on his earlobe send small bursts of electricity down the rest of his body and breathed out soft moans from his swollen lips.
"I... like it..." Sho said breathlessly as he felt Nino press his lips on his neck again, this time sucking the soft skin hard enough to leave a blooming red mark.
"Remember everything that I'm doing right now," Nino murmured as he shifted his face down to rest on Sho's chest, "it'll be your turn next time."
"Remember..? Everything?" Sho questioned as he caught a playful glint in Nino's eyes.
"Yeah, but no worries..." Nino answered as he returned to face Sho, pecking him lightly on the lips, "I think your body will remember very well by tonight..."
Sho shivered lightly as he watched Nino trail small kisses down his chest, flicking his tongue over one of his nipples. Nino smiled against Sho's skin as he felt the man below him arch up his body towards his mouth.
"You liked that, huh," Nino teased as he licked a straight line down from the centre of his chest to his belly button, poking at it with his inquisitive tongue. Sho felt Nino's tongue leave a burning wet trail against his skin as he rested the back of his hand over his eyes, surrendering his nerves in submission to Nino's playful tongue and his equally playful fingers. He felt Nino pull down his boxers and looked down to find himself completely stiff and throbbing.
"How do you feel?" Nino asked as he positioned himself beside Sho, lying down beside him.
"... really, really hot..." Sho spoke,and Nino chuckled at his reply. He could easily detect Sho's desire and need for him in his impatient tone.
"Oh ho.. that is a good sign,"Nino said as he snuggled his head close to Sho's neck, sliding one of his hands down to pump Sho's hard member lazily. Sho took inhaled sharply as he felt Nino's hand stroke his sensitive flesh, his head knocking into the pillow at the indescribable sensation that Nino's hands were giving him.
"And how is that?" Nino asked.
"Really...g-good.." Sho answered breathlessly.
"If you think THAT's really good," Nino said cunningly as he lowered his lips to Sho's ear, "how good do you think it will be... inside me?"
Imagining the sensation, Sho's face now put every neon red light to shame. He watched Nino grab a tube of lubricant and return, his mischievous face showing intent on making his wildest imagination come true.
After a long bit of preparation, Sho gasped as he felt Nino's warm body enclosing slowly around his flesh as he eased himself slowly into Nino's body, with Nino's guiding hand on his hips.
"O-Ohh... " Nino sighed as he felt Sho's hard member stretch the insides of his body, his eyes squeezing shut as he welcomed the ebbing waves of pain and pleasure.
Sho found himself completely speechless at the amazing sensation coursing through his veins, his head growing lighter as he leaned down to kiss Nino's swollen lips.
"How is this?" Nino breathed as he stared up at the arousing sight above him.
"Just..." Sho sighed as he stared at Nino with hazy,lustful eyes, "just..."
His voice trailed off as Nino moved beneath him, and he lost the ability to find any words to describe this warm sensation around his sensitive cock... other than a soft, whispered "Perfect."
"Then move," Nino pointed out, shifting his hips to demonstrate, and Sho's words were stolen away once again as Sho reciprocated by thrusting his hips, the lewd sound of their skins slapping together gradually filling the room. Nino moaned as Sho's consistent in-out motions drove him wild.
"F-faster.." Nino pleaded, and Sho obeyed, letting his human instincts take over as he sped up his powerful thrusts to hit a senstive spot in Nino's body. Nino's moans grew louder and more salacious with every thrust, and Sho could sense a curiously pleasurable sensation welling up in his abdomen.
"S-S-Sho..." Nino hissed sharply, feeling himself coming close to the edge of desire, "I'm..."
Sho gave a gutteral moan of white-hot pleasure as he thrusted deeper into Nino, feeling his toes curl as he released himself inside Nino. Nino groaned as white cum dribbled out steadily from his erect cock, his back arching beautifully off the bed. Sho continued moving in and out of Nino, riding out the last of their orgasm as Nino relaxed himself, giving a satisfied hum.
"That was.." Sho panted as he laid himself down on top of Nino, burying himself into the crook of Nino's neck.
"I heard you," Nino replied, "perfect, wasn't it?"
Sho nodded tiredly with a grin, his cheeks flushed in the afterglow of their love making.
"Congratulations..." Nino remarked as he coaxed Sho's member out of him and dropped a light kiss on his shoulder, "you've had your first time."
"And it was perfect," Sho said.
"You said that already, baka,"Nino murmured as he wrapped his arms around Sho, not caring that both of them are sweaty and reeking of sex. They passed the rest of the night in each other's arms, and Sho was sure that he was drifting from one dream to yet another as his eyelids fell shut.
