A/N: 3313 words. Sakuraiba centric, with ohmiya for a surprise~!
========================================
Aiba arrived at the same grand mansion again. He never expected himself be here again.
“Oi! Let’s go.” Sho ordered as he pulled Aiba with him.
They were a little too early for dinner, so Sho brought him to his study room, with took them a few turns, a flock of stairs and another turn to the corner. When they went in, they were surrounded by shelves of books, though thick ones. And the room, it’s triple the size of his bed room.
“Woa, is this your collection?” Aiba looked around wondering how long would he take to finish reading everything in the room.
“Ya.” Sho walked to left an pick a book out before walking back to Aiba who was at the desk. “Don’t worry. I have Shounen Jump too. But I don’t read it often. ”
Aiba took the thick magazine from Sho. “Cool!”
Aiba was fascinated by collection. When he was younger, his family couldn’t afford any manga for him. He had to secretly read it in the stores. It was when he met Nino, who’s willing to lend him all his mangas. Probably that was why they became closer.
Those childhood memories and images were in his mind now, clear. That period of time was the time he never forget and would never regret leaving the house. He suddenly missed his mother. He had never see her since 2 years ago.
“Masaki?”
Aiba shook his head a little. “I didn’t know you read these too! ”
“Well, I have to be in trend too. By the way, I don’t own these. It’s Satoshi’s collection.”
“Ohno-sensei?”
“He had once thought of becoming a illustrator, something a mangaka (manga artist). But his dad forbid him to do so. You know, he’s a pretty well-known artist and if his son was to became mangaka, it…it’s just bad as going bankrupt. So he would throw away those manga everytime Satoshi bought, and that young boy will come crying to me. “
“That’s sad…”
Sho laughed, “Then we figured out that everytime he bought a manga, he will read it in my house and leave it here. And when he was old enough to live alone, he’ll have to bring back those manga. But he never…”
Aiba giggled. “You 2 are really best friends. But I still can’t believe you dated him” Aiba pursed his lips.
Sho pulled Aiba into his embrace as he sat on the desk.“Ah… I smell jealousy.”
Hmph. He was not jealous, maybe only a little. “No.”
“I didn’t asked for it. We went out for a year? But he felt the feeling wasn't there and we broke up. We were so young and innocent that time. I could still remember how scared he was when we first-“
“If you want to talk about your sex life with Ohno-sensei, I’m seriously not listening” Aiba covered his ears with his hands.
Sho tightened his hug, “I will stop, I will stop… So now, we still have some time, why don’t we-“
Aiba turned and face him. “Don’t ever think about it. Remember?”
“A kiss won't hurt right?”
Sho pulled Aiba closer as his lips moved on top of his. His hands were at Aiba’s slim waist now. Though Aiba was rejecting it, but he gave in when Sho’s tongue was in his mouth. He cringed when Sho’s hands were at his butt squeezing and massaging it. His hands was clinging on Sho’s suit, though he was afraid it will wrinkle.
The battle in their mouths were heated up. Sho nibbled his way down to Aiba’s neck. He licked his neck and gave a few hickeys. Aiba groaned with each bite he was given. He was enjoying it. Sho moved back to his lips and started the mouth battle again, even more aggressive. Saliva was slipping out of Aiba’s mouth and some had even dripped on their clothes. Yet no one showed sign of stopping. The hands never stop caressing his firm ass that he always love.
The moans increased when his hands left the ass and was stroking the inner tights. Sho felt himself almost erecting, and Aiba too. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and a voice, probably Sho’s butler, was calling for Sho. They stopped immediately, with Sho grabbing the tissue that was beside him wiping Aiba’s wet mouth and calling the butler to come in.
“Young master. Ah!” his voice raised a little when he saw how intimated his young master and a man was. ”Erm…Dinner’s ready.”
“Got it.” Sho threw the tissue away as he gave Aiba a peck on the face. And of course he received a light punch on his chest. “Anything else?”
“Master and Madam had invited some guest over too. She wants young master to be there now.”
“Eh?!” Sho folded his arms. “I didn't hear that. Who are the guests?”
“Ohno’s family and Tanaka’s family” the butler replied politely.
“Even Mayu is here… This sucks…” he muttered under his breath, though Aiba heard everything.
So they invited Mayu and Ohno’s family. It will be awkward if he was to stay here, Aiba thought. He would be a total stranger to them. And he didn’t want to spoilt their mood.
“It’s okay, Sho. I think I better go home.”
“Why Masaki?
He lowered his head “It's your family dinner. I don’t want to ruin it… Ask someone to send me home. This place is a maze.”
“No. I’m not doing it. You are going to stay here with me.” Sho retorted back.
“Sho..”
“Don't say a word.”
He grabbed Aiba’s hands and leaded him to the dining area. They immediately were greeted by laughter of people.
It’s a bad idea… Aiba followed behind Sho.
It was beautiful decorated with antiques and painting, and he believed some were drawn by his art teacher. He followed blindly with his head looking around the room and accidentally banged his head on Sho’s back when he stopped.
“Are you okay?” Sho immediately rubbed Aiba’s head.
“Totally fine.”
“Oh…It’s that idiot again..”
That voice, Aiba remembered. He would never forget that voice.
“Oi, Mayu.”
“I can’t believe you are still with Sho. You are pretty serious huh?”
“Hey, it’s only a few weeks. Nothing have changed. We are still as ‘lovey-dovey’ as before! ” Aiba challenged without realizing that his words made Sho grinning like a small boy.
“Oh…Is it? I got to say, Sho, don’t get to close to him. His baka-ness might pass to you”
“Don't worry. It won’t spread to me. I am too smart. ” Sho ensured it.
“Sho.” He elbowed Sho’s stomach. “I’m not a idiot!”
“Yes yes. You are not. Let’s have our dinner Masaki. I will introduced you to them.”
They settled on the seat, with Mayu and Ohno’s family sitting opposite them. Sho’s parent then came smiling and settling beside Sho. They were served some wine, though Aiba shouldn’t be drinking it.
Aiba looked around. The 2 families were looking at Aiba, with a confused face. He nudged Sho, who was slipping his wine.
“It’s really awkward.” He whispered softly.
“Don’t worry. Just leave everything to me.”
Sho’s father then stood up, with a wineglass and a fork hitting it lightly. Aiba sort of remembered his face since he saw him at the party. Sho really looked like his dad, he thought as he listened to his small speech.
“Thanks for coming. I’m pleased to be back in Japan.”
Everyone clapped except Sho. Aiba clapped too.
“For these few years I have been away from Japan, it’s hard to stay contact with my friend. So I told myself, that I had to have a dinner party once I got everything settled. That’s the reason why I held this dinner. So please enjoy the dinner with us.”
They clapped again, and even though Aiba didn’t know why. He just clapped along with the others. Sho’s father then raised his wine glass, and everyone excluding Sho, did it too. Then they took a slip of their wine, and Aiba believed that that wine was the tastiest wine he had ever drank. Even Jun’s house wasn’t as good as this.
Sho coughed a little before standing up. Aiba and the others were surprised by his abruptness.
“Everyone, let me introduce to you.” He pulled Aiba up, “This is Aiba Masaki”
Aiba took a bow, “I’m Aiba Masaki”
“He is my lov-“
“He is my Landlord.” Aiba interrupted. It would be weird to mention that this 2 men were dating, and also that fact that his mom disapprove it. “I’m so glad to be in the care of Sho.”
“He is Sho’s student too” Mayu snorted.
Aiba gave his deadliest glare to Mayu.
“Is that so? So you are Masaki, that my wife had been mentioning.” Sho’s dad stood up again and walked towards Aiba. He patted lightly on Aiba’s shoulders. “You are really a handsome dude”
Did he just said dude? “Thank you Sir.”
“I hope Sho didn’t cause you any troubles.” He smiled gently and genuine.
So he actually care for his son. No doubt. Which parent doesn’t care? Maybe his? “No sir. I should be the one to say that”
“Ah..Masaki, You are a very polite man. How I wished Sho had half of you.”
“Dad!” Sho’s face was red, and his eyes looked like he was about to kill someone.
“Daddy, they are serving the dinner already. Come back to your seat” Sho’s mom spoke with a smiling face. “Don't make him mad”
“Mom!”
“Oi,” Aiba reminded Sho about his manners. “Sit down will you?”
The 2 young men sat down and was served with more wine and food. Lucky he did studied some dining etiquette. But the atmosphere, it’s just too awkward.
I mustn’t make any sound, I mustn’t make any sound, Aiba chanted in his heart as he sliced the meat. He didn’t noticed that Sho was staring at him, until he let out a soft giggle.
Aiba gave him the what-is-wrong-with-you face and continued cutting. Sho just ignored and admired his hardworkingness.
“Hey auntie, why isn’t Satoshi here?” Mayu asked, breaking the silence in the room.
“Oh, that boy. He said he’ll be busy till night. You know, I can’t stop that determined young man.” Ohno’s mom spoke, laughing softly. This made Aiba wondered, does all rich people laugh like this, so elegantly? One thing for sure, he would never understand them.
“Oi…” Mayu dragged her word.
Aiba smirked as he looked at Mayu’s sad face. But he sort of pitied her since she’s falling for a people who never will be in love with her. He was lost in his thoughts when he received a kick on his feet under the table. He jolted a little and realized Mayu was the one. He stared hard at her as she chew the meat, giving her the ‘you better watch it’ look, while Mayu bit the meat of her folk, giving him a ‘Bring it on’ look.
The luxury dinner lasted for 1 hour half, and they were at the garden with their wine glass. Aiba had been in the garden before, and would never forget the things that happened.
That man’s confession…
“Ma.sa.ki~” Sho sang as usual. “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing. Remember what we did the last time when we were here.”
Sho smiled as he wrapped his left arm around Aiba waist and took a slip of his wine. “Ah. So you still remember?”
“Of course, it’s so funny.” Aiba didn’t mind the hand around his waist. They were at a corner, pretty far away from the small crowd.
They reminded quiet, enjoying the breeze together. Aiba took a last slip from his wine glass and sighed softly. He was quite tired after the dinner since he was trying his best to stay good and high-class.
“Are you bored?” Sho asked, while looking at him. He continued, ”I sort of regret bringing you here, after seeing you trying your very best to act perfectly in front of them.”
So you did noticed it. “I don’t want to be told as a not-well-brought-up kid.” Aiba laughed. “I’m going to get some wine. You coming?”
“You had enough. You’d drank a few glasses down.” Sho snatched the glass from Aiba. “Fruit punch for now!”
“Not fair. You drank more than me!”
Aiba pouted as he tried snatching it back. He moved to left, and Sho swiftly moved to the right. And it happened for the right side too. They were enjoying their little playtime when they heard a voice behind their back.
“Sho. Dad wants to see you” It was Sho’s mom calling for him.
“Geez…” he cursed. “Let’s go.”
“She said you only.” Aiba reminded what Sho’s mom mentioned earlier.
“I know, but I want to see you with fruit punch. Until then, I will not see him.”
“Ass.”
“I know I have a nice firm one.” Sho answered as he walked with Aiba to the drink counter. He passed the non alcoholic drink to Aiba and made him drink a mouth.
“It supposed to be rhetorical…”
“I’ll be back soon.” Sho walked away from Aiba’s sight.
“As if…” he muttered under his breath when he suddenly received a reply from behind him.
“As if what?”
He turned and saw Sho’s mom again, with the same friendly smile.
“Hello Auntie…” Aiba greeted with much politeness.
“I never expected to see you here you know. I didn’t know Sho will bring you here.”
“Well, I told him not to bring me here, but he insisted.” Aiba replied with a smile. Yes, smile Aiba Masaki. Give her a good impression.
“Oh…” Sho’s mom cupped her chin. “So how’s my son? How’s you and him?”
“Us?” Aiba asked again. She didn’t forget that small conversation, and so did Aiba. “Fine. Still the same” As lovely as we can get, Aiba had the urge to add this sure. "He is still my landlord and nothing else"
He lied. Sure, he did. It was to protect him from this hidden tigress.
“You didn’t forget what I said before right?” It was scary when she didn’t smile.
Aiba shook his head. He wished he could forget it, but it seemed to engrave in his brain.
“I see.” She smiled again. “Have you told Sho about your mom and step father?”
Aiba’s eyes were widely opened. His heart was pounding ferociously inside. “Eh?”
“By your expression, I think you didn’t. It seemed like you hid it well” She laughed lightly.
“How did you know all these…” Aiba was still in his shock state. It crushed his confidence that he built up after so long.
“I have way, and it’s not for you to know..” She replied. “You haven’t visit them for a while. Shouldn’t-“
“No.” All the bad memories returned back. Aiba hated it, he hated it to the core.
“I heard that your mom had given birth again to a few months ago. It’s a baby boy.” She continued. “Maybe he is normal again…”
Aiba reminded silent. He hoped she could stop it. He don't want to remember it. Those ugly memories.
“You should visit them sometime”
Someone stop her. His tears were building around his eyes.His ego was hurt badly now. Someone should shut her mouth!
“Masaki!” That angelic voice of his. “Mom, you are here too?”
“I was talking to Masaki. He’s really a cute young man.” She smiled. “You two better go home now, it’s late”
“I was about to say that.” Sho grunted as he called Aiba who was standing stoned. “Masaki!”
“Uh. Ya, let’s go”
The ride was awfully silent and Sho could sensed something out of it. Aiba was easily guess when he was either stress or happy. He was sure it was nothing to do with tiredness. His face showed fear, and sad. He had never seen it before. Aiba’s always bubbly and loud.
His driver dropped off at their apartment, and they went home. It’s getting weird, Sho though.
“Anything wrong Masaki?”
He didn’t replied him. He just went straight to his room and changed his clothes. Sho followed behind him, and closed the door. Aiba was standing there with his lower body covered only by his boxer and the hem of his oversize shirt.
“You’ve been acting weird Masaki. Tell me, did my mom say something?” Sho figured it out that it should be her, his own mom.
“Huh, nothing.” Aiba wasn't making any eye contact with him.
“Then, strip. Strip naked in front of me.”
Aiba never hesitated like he always did. He followed his orders and soon appeared naked in front of him. Sho was surprised too. He knew Aiba won’t do that, never he will listen to his orders obediently. Something must have hurt him just now, when he was away.
He took his clothes and dressed him back immediately. Aiba looked at him, confused by his actions.
“What are you doing?” Aiba asked when getting dressed.
“I’m not doing it tonight.” Sho said with his firm voice. He hugged him tight, and whispered in his ears “Tell me, what happened?”
“It’s… it’s hard to explain” Aiba was chocked by his words. His eyes were rolling tears down and was wetting Sho’s shoulders.
He wanted to pursue more but since Aiba didn't want to talk about it, he let it off. Sho patted his head lightly and gently. “I won’t force you, but I want to let you know, I am always here for you.”
That day, Aiba cried for hours in Sho’s warm embrace.

Ohno rubbed his head with his fingers. He was having a bad headache ever since morning. He figured out that he might be lacking of sleep or something like that. His vision was not clear today, and it was worsen after his art lessons. Worst still, he was feeling a little cold as the day went by.
He leaned his body against the wall and rubbed his head hard. Just a few more steps and he will reached his office. Maybe he can take a nap at the sickbed.
“Oh-chan?” He heard a voice calling him. He couldn’t figured it out until he saw the figure in front of him. “Are you okay? You look pale.”
“I’m fine.” Ohno stood, almost losing his balance when Nino caught his hands. “I’m just lacking of sleep.”
“Goodness!” Nino exclaimed as he touched his forehead. “You are burning up! Come, I will take you to the doctor.”
“Doctor? I’m a doctor you know. I can take care of myself.” He pushed Nino away with all the strength he had, and walked slowly back.
Nino followed behind him, calling his name. They reached the office where Nino forcefully entered with him.
“Oh-chan..You are sick. You can’t self-diagnoses yourself.”
“Shut up, and leave me alone.” Ohno tried pushing Nino away. But his strength was so weak. “I know my body…”
“Oh-chan..” Nino struggled to get in. “You are pushing my limits.”
Ohno didn’t get what he meant. But one think he knew, he need to push this man out so he could have a quiet time. He had already decided for now on, he would not depend on people. He will need to learn how to be independence and not rely on others for help.
“Get out.”
“Ohno Satoshi!”
A push and Ohno was inside with Nino, sliding the door closed. Nino grabbed Ohno’s hands and pulled him near to his chest. He never knew Nino had so much strength. Or maybe because he was getting weak.
“I said-“
A warm lips top on top of his without warning. He struggled to get out, yet Nino was hugging him tightly, making no escape for him.
The warm full lips that he had missed. It was still so gentle like before. Such a lip, he never expected it’s from a man like Nino.
Moreover, he never expect himself to be kissing Nino again.

He stared hard at her as she chew the meat, giving her the ‘you better watch it’ look, while Mayu bit the meat of her folk, giving him a ‘Bring it on’ look.
The luxury dinner lasted for 1 hour half, and they were at the garden with their wine glass. Aiba had been in the garden before, and would never forget the things that happened.
That man’s confession…
“Ma.sa.ki~” Sho sang as usual. “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing. Remember what we did the last time when we were here.”
Sho smiled as he wrapped his left arm around Aiba waist and took a slip of his wine. “Ah. So you still remember?”
“Of course, it’s so funny.” Aiba didn’t mind the hand around his waist. They were at a corner, pretty far away from the small crowd.
They reminded quiet, enjoying the breeze together. Aiba took a last slip from his wine glass and sighed softly. He was quite tired after the dinner since he was trying his best to stay good and high-class.
“Are you bored?” Sho asked, while looking at him. He continued, ”I sort of regret bringing you here, after seeing you trying your very best to act perfectly in front of them.”
So you did noticed it. “I don’t want to be told as a not-well-brought-up kid.” Aiba laughed. “I’m going to get some wine. You coming?”
“You had enough. You’d drank a few glasses down.” Sho snatched the glass from Aiba. “Fruit punch for now!”
“Not fair. You drank more than me!”
Aiba pouted as he tried snatching it back. He moved to left, and Sho swiftly moved to the right. And it happened for the right side too. They were enjoying their little playtime when they heard a voice behind their back.
“Sho. Dad wants to see you” It was Sho’s mom calling for him.
“Geez…” he cursed. “Let’s go.”
“She said you only.” Aiba reminded what Sho’s mom mentioned earlier.
“I know, but I want to see you with fruit punch. Until then, I will not see him.”
“Ass.”
“I know I have a nice firm one.” Sho answered as he walked with Aiba to the drink counter. He passed the non alcoholic drink to Aiba and made him drink a mouth.
“It supposed to be rhetorical…”
“I’ll be back soon.” Sho walked away from Aiba’s sight.
“As if…” he muttered under his breath when he suddenly received a reply from behind him.
“As if what?”
He turned and saw Sho’s mom again, with the same friendly smile.
“Hello Auntie…” Aiba greeted with much politeness.
“I never expected to see you here you know. I didn’t know Sho will bring you here.”
“Well, I told him not to bring me here, but he insisted.” Aiba replied with a smile. Yes, smile Aiba Masaki. Give her a good impression.
“Oh…” Sho’s mom cupped her chin. “So how’s my son? How’s you and him?”
“Us?” Aiba asked again. She didn’t forget that small conversation, and so did Aiba. “Fine. Still the same” As lovely as we can get, Aiba had the urge to add this sure. "He is still my landlord and nothing else"
He lied. Sure, he did. It was to protect him from this hidden tigress.
“You didn’t forget what I said before right?” It was scary when she didn’t smile.
Aiba shook his head. He wished he could forget it, but it seemed to engrave in his brain.
“I see.” She smiled again. “Have you told Sho about your mom and step father?”
Aiba’s eyes were widely opened. His heart was pounding ferociously inside. “Eh?”
“By your expression, I think you didn’t. It seemed like you hid it well” She laughed lightly.
“How did you know all these…” Aiba was still in his shock state. It crushed his confidence that he built up after so long.
“I have way, and it’s not for you to know..” She replied. “You haven’t visit them for a while. Shouldn’t-“
“No.” All the bad memories returned back. Aiba hated it, he hated it to the core.
“I heard that your mom had given birth again to a few months ago. It’s a baby boy.” She continued. “Maybe he is normal again…”
Aiba reminded silent. He hoped she could stop it. He don't want to remember it. Those ugly memories.
“You should visit them sometime”
Someone stop her. His tears were building around his eyes.His ego was hurt badly now. Someone should shut her mouth!
“Masaki!” That angelic voice of his. “Mom, you are here too?”
“I was talking to Masaki. He’s really a cute young man.” She smiled. “You two better go home now, it’s late”
“I was about to say that.” Sho grunted as he called Aiba who was standing stoned. “Masaki!”
“Uh. Ya, let’s go”
The ride was awfully silent and Sho could sensed something out of it. Aiba was easily guess when he was either stress or happy. He was sure it was nothing to do with tiredness. His face showed fear, and sad. He had never seen it before. Aiba’s always bubbly and loud.
His driver dropped off at their apartment, and they went home. It’s getting weird, Sho though.
“Anything wrong Masaki?”
He didn’t replied him. He just went straight to his room and changed his clothes. Sho followed behind him, and closed the door. Aiba was standing there with his lower body covered only by his boxer and the hem of his oversize shirt.
“You’ve been acting weird Masaki. Tell me, did my mom say something?” Sho figured it out that it should be her, his own mom.
“Huh, nothing.” Aiba wasn't making any eye contact with him.
“Then, strip. Strip naked in front of me.”
Aiba never hesitated like he always did. He followed his orders and soon appeared naked in front of him. Sho was surprised too. He knew Aiba won’t do that, never he will listen to his orders obediently. Something must have hurt him just now, when he was away.
He took his clothes and dressed him back immediately. Aiba looked at him, confused by his actions.
“What are you doing?” Aiba asked when getting dressed.
“I’m not doing it tonight.” Sho said with his firm voice. He hugged him tight, and whispered in his ears “Tell me, what happened?”
“It’s… it’s hard to explain” Aiba was chocked by his words. His eyes were rolling tears down and was wetting Sho’s shoulders.
He wanted to pursue more but since Aiba didn't want to talk about it, he let it off. Sho patted his head lightly and gently. “I won’t force you, but I want to let you know, I am always here for you.”
That day, Aiba cried for hours in Sho’s warm embrace.

Ohno rubbed his head with his fingers. He was having a bad headache ever since morning. He figured out that he might be lacking of sleep or something like that. His vision was not clear today, and it was worsen after his art lessons. Worst still, he was feeling a little cold as the day went by.
He leaned his body against the wall and rubbed his head hard. Just a few more steps and he will reached his office. Maybe he can take a nap at the sickbed.
“Oh-chan?” He heard a voice calling him. He couldn’t figured it out until he saw the figure in front of him. “Are you okay? You look pale.”
“I’m fine.” Ohno stood, almost losing his balance when Nino caught his hands. “I’m just lacking of sleep.”
“Goodness!” Nino exclaimed as he touched his forehead. “You are burning up! Come, I will take you to the doctor.”
“Doctor? I’m a doctor you know. I can take care of myself.” He pushed Nino away with all the strength he had, and walked slowly back.
Nino followed behind him, calling his name. They reached the office where Nino forcefully entered with him.
“Oh-chan..You are sick. You can’t self-diagnoses yourself.”
“Shut up, and leave me alone.” Ohno tried pushing Nino away. But his strength was so weak. “I know my body…”
“Oh-chan..” Nino struggled to get in. “You are pushing my limits.”
Ohno didn’t get what he meant. But one think he knew, he need to push this man out so he could have a quiet time. He had already decided for now on, he would not depend on people. He will need to learn how to be independence and not rely on others for help.
“Get out.”
“Ohno Satoshi!”
A push and Ohno was inside with Nino, sliding the door closed. Nino grabbed Ohno’s hands and pulled him near to his chest. He never knew Nino had so much strength. Or maybe because he was getting weak.
“I said-“
A warm lips top on top of his without warning. He struggled to get out, yet Nino was hugging him tightly, making no escape for him.
The warm full lips that he had missed. It was still so gentle like before. Such a lip, he never expected it’s from a man like Nino.
Moreover, he never expect himself to be kissing Nino again.
