Matsumoto's shop of hopes and dreams - enter on your own risk: Chapter 10
Title: Matsumoto’s shop of hopes and dreams - enter on your own risk 10/13
Pairing: Sakumoto, Aimiya, (hints of past(?)Ohmiya and Matsumiya and Juntoshi? (but... well... you'll get it, when you read it. It's not a love triangle (promise!!) or anything, it's rather plot-relevant)
Rating: up to R
Genre: AU, romance, fantasy (There are no vampires or alike. It's more like a fairytale meets our world meets romance meets Nino in a tight gothic-like outfit)
Plot: When you have no other place to visit and lost all your hope, you'll go to a mysterious, little shop. Dealing with hopes and dreams and with his protector Ninomiya at his side, Jun keeps his real identity a secret, constantly on the run. No one knows who he is, what he runs from and where he comes from. One unfortunate day though a young doctor demands his services, asking for a piece of sunshine. It's the beginning of something... like the ticking sound of a clock you can't turn back...
Note: This whole story was inspired by yukitsubute writing me a message: *grumble* it's raining. - with my answer: Buy us some sunshine then :D
“I have never asked something from you,” Jun says quietly. “I never have.”
“You have refused to talk to me for years, and now you suddenly want me to help you?” Ohno can see the various expressions in Jun’s eyes, but he can’t quite read them properly, too fast are they skimming through his eyes. “I can’t help you.”
“Yes, you can.” Jun frowns deeply. “You can. You just don’t want to. That’s a difference.”
Ohno lets out a sigh. Why can’t Jun just see it, that he is doing all that for him only and for no one else? That it’s for his sake and for his best to just do as he tells him. “I don’t mean to always stand in your way. It’s not like I want to,” he tries to explain. “I’m just worried, Jun.”
Jun’s lips tug like he wants to say something but he doesn’t, and it weirdly hurts that he can’t tell him what he thinks. It’s like he has given up, like after so many years he has run out of things he could tell him. “Is this your last word?” Jun asks all of a sudden. Much to Ohno’s surprise he lacks all bitterness and sarcasm.
“You are not surprised,” Ohno states.
“No,” Jun says calmly. “I didn’t expect you to help me. But I thought it was worth a try.” Jun doesn’t say anything anymore, for a while he just looks at Ohno, and then up at the sky. “The moon is beautiful today,” he says all of a sudden with an expression Ohno hasn’t seen on him ever before, and something inside him clenches.
“Yes,” Ohno stutters.
Jun chuckles. “Bye,” he says.
When he leaves Ohno wants to run after him and pull him into a hug, and tell him that it’s going to be alright, that they will find a way. But it’s like he is frozen and can only watch how Jun leaves and disappears from his sight.
~~~
Sho has seen Ohno only this one time. It was dark back then and he couldn’t see his face and his expression, he was just focusing on Jun’s panic back then. The more he is surprised that this infamous Ohno-sama looks calm and composed, his eyes having the expression of someone who is drifting away with his thoughts quite often.
“Don’t get yourself tricked,” Nino whispers quietly, like he can read his thoughts. “Don’t underestimate him just because he looks nice.”
“You mean he isn’t nice?”
Nino shrugs. “Maybe once he was,” he says shortly, and Sho understands that he won’t get much information about Ohno from Nino. He frowns, trying to read Ohno’s expression but he can’t.
Ohno hasn’t seen them first, only when they are walking through the gate of his garden, he turns around. “I didn’t believe I would ever see you again,” he says.
Nino grits his teeth so obviously that Sho fears he will just run towards Ohno and punch him. But gladly he holds it together. “It’s not like I wanted to,” Nino says coldly.
“You are here because of Jun,” Ohno concludes after a while where Nino has just stared at him and Aiba and Sho have kept shifting around nervously. “But he isn’t here anymore.”
“So he was here!?” Nino says breathlessly.
“Yes,” Ohno says with a soft nod. “Just last night. He came all of a sudden.”
“And let me guess,” Nino bites out. “He wanted your help.”
Ohno blinks in surprise. “Yes.”
“And let me guess further,” Nino huffs. “You didn’t help him.”
Ohno puts the book he was just reading aside and looks at them directly now. “I couldn’t. I know you don’t understand, but I just couldn’t. You think I want to hurt him and I want to be in his way just for the sake of being in his way, but it isn’t true. I just want him to come back.”
“But he won’t,” Sho says quietly. “The more pressure you and the others, whoever they are, put on him, the less he will want to return. Even if some of you might have good intentions, he won’t be able to see them.” He pauses, remembering the tired expression on Jun’s face and how nervous he was when he talked with Ohno, how appalled and tensed. “When was the last time you actually saw him with a smile?”
Ohno’s eyes widen and for a moment his eyes are all open to Sho. The others were right, he can’t see any mal intentions towards Jun here, actually it feels like Ohno does love him, though Sho still doesn't understand their relationship. Still, he doesn’t believe that what he does might have the intention make Jun unhappy. “Did you, Sakurai-san?” Ohno finally asks, and Sho is only somewhat surprised that he knows his name “See him happy? See him smile?”
Sho smiles, in his mind he can see the way Jun laughed and smiled at him, how he hugged him, how tenderly he could look at him and how warmly he comforted him. “Yes,” he says. “He has a beautiful smile.”
For a moment there is a weird expression on Ohno’s face, like he is in pain and feels touched at the same time. “Thanks for being there for him then,” he finally says. “I don’t know for sure, but you might find him in the castle.”
“No,” Nino breaths out. “He is not there.”
Ohno’s eyes snap open. “What? Where is he then?”
“He isn’t here with you!” Nino yells in fury. “He isn’t at the High Castle either. So just what do you think is he doing now after you deliberately refused to help him!? Where do you think he might find a piece of a star!?”
Ohno frowns before his eyes widen. “He wouldn’t.” He shakes his head. “He wouldn’t. He would never do something so dangerous!”
“Wake up, Satoshi!” Nino huffs. “You were his last resort. He came here, you sent him away. But he will rather have the Dark Fortress catch him and torture him before he goes back home! Does that finally get into your thick head? That’s how much he dreads his own home!”
Ohno’s eyes snap open. “No,” he calls out. “He wouldn’t go that far! Do you even know what you are saying, Kazunari? And what it means for Jun if he really is there?”
“I have even more to say,” Nino points out, he sounds calmer now but not less stressed. Sho assumes he has just yelled out all his frustration and is ready to reason with Ohno again. “He hasn’t returned yet. So if we assume he went there right after he was at your place, what does that tell us?”
Ohno’s breath is going heavier. “Get your things,” he huffs. “Now!”
“Eh,” Aiba blinks. “Where are we going to?”
“To the Dark Fortress?” Sho asks hopefully, whatever that place means. If they aren’t going to act any time soon, he will just grab his things and run there by himself!
“No,” Ohno huffs. “We are heading to the High Castle.”
“Are you nuts!?” Nino grumbles.
“No, I’m not! But if you thought we could just waltz into the Dark Fortress, talk to the guards and the Dark Prince and save Jun from whatever stupid thing he got himself into, you are wrong.” Ohno grabs a long coat from the bench right next to him.
“And what exactly do you plan to do at the Castle?” Nino wants to know.
“I will get a few things,” Ohno points out. “I have a plan.”
“But-“
“Kazunari,” Ohno says. “I know we don’t share much anymore, and I know that there is not much left inside of you that feels anything good for me, but now you have to trust me. Because…”
“Because?” Nino wants to know.
“Because Jun is the most important to me, and I’m not going to let them beat him to death just like that,” Ohno points out. “You know how important he is to me.”
“Yes,” Nino says quietly, much to Sho’s surprise. “I know.” He shifts around for a while, then he nods. “Okay, we’ll follow you to the Castle. Just…” he throws him an inscrutable glance. “You can’t disappoint me in this case, Satoshi. You just can’t. I’ll kill you personally without minding the consequences if you trick me.”
Ohno nods.
~~~
Something inside Nino’s stomach pulls and tugs painfully when he sees Ohno disappearing in the Castle. He has left them outside, obviously aware that none of them wants to enter, and none of them actually should enter.
It’s true that he doesn’t have faith in Ohno anymore, but it’s also true that he knows that Ohno would never let someone harm Jun. Jun is probably the only person Ohno truly loves. He wouldn’t betray him, would he?
“Nino-kun…” Sho exchanges a look with Aiba, and then eyes him again. Nino understands immediately.
“Okay,” Nino takes a deep breath. “Remember what I told you once about our world? The parts it is separated in?”
“You mean at the evening Jun ran out of energy?” Aiba asks.
Nino nods.
“You told us,” Sho begins carefully. “That your world is separated in three parts. The High Castle rules major parts of the country, and has the most power. They have some sort of marriage contract with…what was it?”
“With the Hidden Manor.” Nino helps. “It’s a very small country at the edge of our world. Right close to the border. They aren’t quite here, but not there either. They are not warriors or alike, which means they heavily rely on the High Castle. They are allies. The Hidden Manor does have important magicians and fortune-tellers, and they have the ability to rule over time. As an exchange for their help, the High Castle protects them, because they can’t protect themselves. They are solely scientists and philosophers.”
“A bit like Ohno-san?” Aiba asks.
Nino is almost a bit impressed by his conclusion. “Ohno-san is not a member of the Hidden Manor. But he has a rare gift too, just like Jun. His gift is different though. He can rule over the celestial body, which is the reason Jun went to him and asked for help. And it's also the reason why Ohno studied at the Hidden Manor for years to strengthen his powers. But he still belongs into this part of the world.”
Sho nods carefully. “So, the last part is the Dark Fortress. You said they own the darkness.”
“It’s a militant country. In previous centuries there was a lot of tension between them and the High Castle and the Hidden Manor. The old Dark King sent spies to the country, and an assassin almost killed our own king back then. At that point the diplomatic bonds between our country and theirs ripped apart, and since then the Dark Fortress is basically isolated from anyone else. They do own the darkness and are pretty strong. But their country is not wealthy. You cannot grow plants and food in this environment. It’s all stones and dust and darkness, like it’s suffocating you. However, the castle there and its guards are extremely rough. They do not tolerate intruders.”
Sho swallows visibly. “Jun went there?”
Nino looks to the ground. “Stars are the most visible in the darkness,” he says after a while. “It’s easier to obtain one there, but it also means he set foot on their forbidden grounds and intruded. And stole something that belongs to them. Let’s just hope they don’t know what he took and who he is. If they know he is a collector, they will probably either kill him immediately or use him to blackmail the High Castle.”
“What will they do to him?” Aiba asks quietly.
Nino doesn’t say anything. What is he supposed to tell them? That chances are high that Jun is in the hands of the Dark Prince and his guards, probably getting tortured as they want him to spill what an inhabitant of the High Castle wants from them. He feels sick all of a sudden, hoping that Jun can hold up long enough for him to be there and save him. He just can’t tell Sho and Aiba. It would be too much for them. “Let’s just hope the best,” he says warily.
It takes quite some while for Ohno to return and Nino grows more and more impatient and nervous. Before his eyes he can almost see Jun in the hands of the guards of the Dark Fortress. Jun is probably keeping it a secret what he came there for, not revealing who he is, but they will try to get him spill what they want to know. And Nino fears their methods.
He can see how Sho grows more nervous too, at the same time Nino is relieved that Sho doesn’t know how dangerous the Fortress really is. And Masaki… he is just glad to have him around. His presence is soothing, much to Nino’s surprise. Just having him next to him is already a relief. He reaches out his hand for a short moment, squeezing Masaki’s. The latter looks at him in surprise, before a warm and dazzling smile spreads across his lips. He is so beautiful. He deserves the best. Nino just wonders if he really is the best for Masaki.
~~~
Jun knows several techniques about how to switch off his mind and make his thoughts and his conscious wander to other places, but the pain that crosses his body now is too much to make his mind go away. There are chains wrapped around his wrist and further attached to the ceiling, keeping him in an upright position.
“Why are you here?” the guard from before growls again.
“I lost my way,” Jun breaths out.
It’s obviously not what he wanted to hear. Jun can hear the whip cutting the air before it hits his back. He pants heavily as the pain crosses his body, so hot that he almost doesn’t feel the sting anymore. He doesn’t know how often the man hits him, he stopped to count. He can just feel the warm liquid of his blood running over his back and the pain slowly mixes up with a numb feeling of his body. Jun clutches his fingers around the chains, this time afraid to lose his conscious. What if he won’t wake up another time?
A/N: I'm sorry I didn't post last week! I don't have any better excuse than: I was really tired from work and my last weekend was pretty busy. But today, finally, again :D
So, Jun indeed went to Ohno, but didn't receive help. But now that they all know Jun is not at the castle, he might help them? Or is it a trick?
