I crept back into the house quietly; I had no idea why I was back here at Ohno’s. Maybe because cooking with the new wife wasn’t enough and his parents wanted to throw her a party.
By ‘her’ I mean me. It was starting to annoy me especially since Satoshi had gripped my arms tightly to only exclaim, “It’s the perfect opportunity to start THE PLAN.”
I went into the kitchen, started making myself breakfast even though it was like 5 am or something. But if I go to sleep or bed, last night would just haunt me. Last night was horrible.
I think I just turned gay since yesterday.
OH MY GOD, I’M GAY!
I slept with a guy.
A guy who wasn’t Satoshi.
A guy who was not a girl.
A guy who had never been a girl.
His cock was up my ass.
And I’ve never felt this good in my entire life.
It made me shudder to just think about it.
So I didn’t think about it. I was thinking about the best way of frying my eggs
“You had sex.”
OKAY, THAT IS NOT HELPING ME AVOID THINKING ABOUT MY FIRST TIME WITH A GUY!!
I turned around to see Mina sitting on a dining chair, looking rumpled and suprisingly without a baby in her arms she looked very un-mom-ish.
I grunted in response.
“And it wasn’t Satoshi.”
Another grunt.
“Shit, I thought...I thought you’d correct me.”
Another grunt.
“Guess not.”
Grunt.
She smiled and leant against the counter beside the stove looking at my face.
“So that means Satoshi’s with someone else.”
The frying pan slipped out of my hands but Mina caught it.
She put it on the counter and turned the stove off and gripped into the hair at my nape and pulled my head to her shoulder.
And I cried.
Into her shoulder, wetting her shirt grip tightening into it until she had her arms around me, patting my shoulder awkwardly.
Everytime I’m with her all my feelings come to the surface. We’ve never been great friends but she sees through me in a way my mother would be jealous of.
“Satoshi loves you.”
And it lighted a little flicker of hope; like thinking that this entire plan was just a prank on me. That Satoshi would come out of a kitchen cupboard and say, “Surprise! I love you”
“He’ll come around.”
So that’s what you meant woman! What, don’t you think I’ve been telling myself that all this time? Not just yesterday but for YEARS.
He’ll come around.
Bullshit.
I’m so pissed off I’m not using your shoulder to cry on anymore!
I pushed off to get away from her and she frowned but then used one of the kitchen towels to wipe my blotchy face.
“Sit, I’ll make breakfast.”
Still feeling sort of weepy I didn’t argue as she busied herself wit the pots and pans.
“Kaa-chan?”
Her three year old toddler came half wobbling half stumbling and part crawling into the kitchen. Before she could reach Mina though I picked her up. I sort of liked the way Mina looked without a kid dangling from each arm.
“Play with Nino-jii-san, okay?”
“Nino kaa-chan!” She said instead pulling at my t-shirt and hair. I wrestled her to stay still on my lap and Mina laughed.
“Nino nii-chan?”
She flubbed out her bottom lip at me, “Nino kaa-chan”
And Mina almost dropped the eggs doubling over in laughter.
“Shut up! Everyone in this family is intent in making me a bride but Satoshi.”
“Nino-kun.” Mina brought the eggs over to the table and set them down, her hand still on my shoulder, “Satoshi will be the most eager one soon. That’s a promise.”
She held out her hand and I took it.
“Oh my god!” What the hell happened? I looked at my bruised wrists and blushed.
Oh god....
“The guy I was with was a little sadistic.”
“HE USED ROPES?”
“Umm..yeah.”
“NINO! HE COULD HAVE BEEN A MURDERER!”
“Oi! I’m here aren’t I? all safe and sexually satisfied.”
“And with a horrible limp.”
“Limp?”
“How else would I know you had gotten laid?”
Oh damn.
Worst thing?
Iliked being tied.
Kept thinking how Satoshi would feel lain across my back, bodies moving together.
Shit. I had avoided sleeping with guys before because I never wanted to insinuate how it might have been with Satoshi.
Now I can’t think anything but.
-------------------------------------------------------
The party began around midday. Mina smiling and welcoming the guests and I tried to ditto the action. They were all parts of Satoshi’s family in one way or other or his neighbours.
When a group or person would pass Mina would tell me to which part of the family tree would belong.
She winked at me when one particular tall young brunette passed us. Big smile plastered on his face.
“Aiba Masaki.”
“Oh.”
“Oi. You should be happier to see him.”
“Why?”
“He’s Plan C”
“Plan C?”
“Plan C.”
“For what?”
“Your happy ending, of course.”
There were Step By Step Plans for my happy ending? Wow.
“What’s Plan A and B.”
“You’ll find out soon enough.” Mina smiled mysteriously as she shook hands with another arriving guest.”
“Don’t tell me he’s Satoshi’s back up in case he does marry Amy.”
“Hmm. Not a bad idea. Let’s make that Plan Z.”
“PLAN Z? You know desperate times call for desperate measures is always called Plan Z”
“Yeah.” Actually I had no idea.
I scanned the next set of guests arriving. Wait...WAS THAT MY MOTHER? Oh my GOD. I never told her I’m gay. Why is she here? **panic**
“Uh...Mina-chan. I think Ohno Kaa-chan is too busy to handle Tachiko at the moment. I should help her.” And I ran like a big coward far away from my mother.
I bumped head first into Satoshi. Usually I’d scatter flowers in happiness. But that is the exact gayish thoughts I must avoid in front of my mother, an extremely observant woman. If she sees me with Satoshi she’d know in an instant.
But Satoshi had other plans. I was steered to a less crowded part of the park.
“Listen, Amy’s coming over. It’s time to start. I got you a present and you know just don’t be too nice or excited. Okay?”
Even if I was head over heels over Satoshi he was annoying me right now and I wanted nothing more than to go farther away from him. So I sort of shrugged him off and left. However there was an excited squeal behind me.
“That’s the spirit Kazu!”
Ugh. Baka, I wasn’t acting.
We all sat down for lunch on the benches and there were caterers. Eh? Caterers? And waiters. I really hadn’t noticed but this party was HUGE. I looked around at the hoards of people Was that...was that Mitsui baa-chan? Couldn’t be? Could it? My mother was here after all. Where is she anyway?
Turning back to the guests seated in front of me I almost fell out of my chair.
MY mother was seated right beside Satoshi’s...
Our eyes met but she just looked away as though she didn’t recognize me.
Suddenly Satoshi nudged me from the other side and when I turned to look at him he was holding up a small ebi towards me. Disgruntled as I was at my mother’s strange behaviour, I didn’t realize what Satoshi wanted and simply bent over and took it into my mouth.
The whole table erupted into applause and by that all the people in the other tables started applauding too whether they knew why or not.
The fluttering of my heart was squashed down by Satoshi’s deathly glare. I rarely see his soft features contorted in such a scary way. Oh god, I really messed up. Satoshi meant for me to refuse him.
I’m such an idiot.
But before he could pinch or kick me under the table his features suddenly softened and he smiled, “Kazu-chan! You’re friend is here!”
My friend? I don’t even have friends. I either ruin friendship by sleeping with them or neglect them for you.
Then I turned around to gaze in the direction Satoshi was pointing to.
Amy
I sighed. I already messed up once. Satoshi might as well never talk to me again if I do it another time. So I got up with an excited squeal of ‘Amy!’ and ran over to her kissing her cheeks then bringing her back with a tight grip around her waist.
Ohno Mama seemed oblivious. Bless this lady; she seemed to have given all her traits to Satoshi. But Mina, she looked at me disapprovingly.
Amy sat beside me with a polite bow and ‘konnichiwa’ Just as dinner was being served my cell phone started ringing. It was Satoshi. When I looked at him he only winked. I sighed before receiving the call conjuring up a business colleague.
“Hai. Demo, I’m at a party. What? They won’t reschedule? Fine I’m coming.”
I started getting up and everyone sitting at the table erupted into pleads of “Aw, Ninomiya please stay” except for Mina who was simply sporting a deep frown. Even when everyone was quietened Ohno Mama remained persistent about it.
“Nino-chan it’s an important lunch please go through with it.”
I was starting to break but one look at Satoshi and I knew I couldn’t afford to, “My work is more important then this stupid lunch!”
And there was a huge gasp and Ohno Mama looked at me with sad eyes and I just couldn’t look back at them anymore. They were so much like Satoshi’s own pleading ones. I looked to Satoshi who threw me an expectant gaze and I fell weak against them too. Oh Satoshi, for all the days you choose not to doze off it had to be this one.
I got up in haste and walked away quickly before my guilt suffocated me.
I was somehow disappointed in Satoshi, in myself and in the friendship we shared for so many years. I know you don’t love me Satoshi but I’m your best friend. Is it not important that I’m hurting?
I don’t know what I am to you anymore.
Suddenly I was whirled around
Mina
Her eyes were blazing with anger, “What the HELL are you doing??”
Biting my lips I looked down at our shoes but she jerked me up, “Nino! I asked you a question!”
“Business meeti-
“TRUTH! Give me the truth!”
I started shaking and looked back at the table where there was an Amy now in my seat beside Satoshi, talking to him, probably consoling him out of his bogus melancholy.
Mina’s gaze followed mine and she narrowed her eyes, “It’s her isn’t it? The girl Satoshi thinks he is in love with? AGH! Nino I can’t believe you let this happen!”
And she dragged me back despite my protests.
“Satoshi thinks he’s so smart doesn’t he? Well, I won’t even need to go through with Plan E to see his little sham in shambles.”
I stared at Mina as she grumbled to herself. She was so fierce. Wow. In a way I admired her and thought how it would be for her husband to spend hislife with such as strong willed and just strong in general-her grip on my upper arm was starting to BURN- when I realized...her husband...where was he? She lives at the Ohno household but she must have one of her own.
All of a sudden that burn in my arm was gone and I realized we had stopped Mina cleared her throat, getting Satoshi and Amy’s attention.
She threw Satoshi a smug look before continuing at Amy, “That seat is taken.”
Amy threw her a curious look before quickly masking it with politeness and a bow and scooting back to her own seat. Mina all but shoved me done onto the newly vacated seat. She took up my glass and a spoon.
“We must forgive Ninomiya for he doesn’t understand the importance of today for none of us had told him or Satoshi but in light of their coming out a few weeks ago the Ohno and Ninomiya households have taken a decision. Mama if you please?”
The whole park was silent down to those annoying birds on the trees as Ohno Mama stood up and following her nod my mom stood up as well and for the first time that evening she smiled at me warmly.
I felt relieved. It was short lived though. For the words that left their mouths next turned my world upside down and made it just that much harder.
“WELCOME EVERYONE TO THE ENGAGEMENT CEREMONY OF OHNO SATOSHI AND NINOMIYA KAZUNARI!”
**AND LET THE REAL GAMES BEGIN! You honestly didn't think this fic would be called My Best Friend's Wedding Without A Wedding Did You?
