Warning: unbeta-ed
A/N: I really hope I can get this fic out before someone ends up having the same idea as me and we end up being at wars with each other xD. So holding off doing my hw for awhile until later tonight and finally get my head in the game to cleaning the house for the family party, I will try to work diligently on this.
Aiba rolled over in bed and reached for his lover in the middle of the night. He threw his arms as his lover's scent grew stronger, but ended up getting a hold of his lover's pillow. He blinked his eyes open curiously at the vacant bedside just when he heard paper rustling outside of their bedroom.
Working at this hour? Aiba thought. After all the years he knew Sho, he knew the Keio graduate was a workaholic, but it's been awhile since Sho has stayed up to work on something. He sighed and slipped out of bed.
In the living room, Sho was tapping a pen against the side of his head as he sat on the floor in front of the coffee table, his eyes showing complete concentration as he starred at the chicken scratch notes he has been making for the past couple of hours.
“Sho-chan?” Aiba called out softly as he gingerly stepped over the balled up scraps of paper that were littering the floor around his beloved. The younger one knelt behind the older one and wrapped his arms around his waist as he took in the true source of the scent he loved having around him.
Sho turned his head and placed a soft kiss on Aiba's cheek as the latter peered over at what his lover was doing.
“What are you doing?” Aiba asked casually, not bothering to point out that he's working past sleeping hours.
“My solo for the album,” Sho frowned at the paper. “It's hard to decide what I want to write for this album.”
Aiba raised an eyebrow.
“How come? Your raps are amazing Sho-chan!” Aiba praised his lover as he cuddled his lover just the way he liked it, which he knew always made Sho laugh and make both their hearts beat faster.
“I know those are usually my thing,” Sho said humbly. “But somehow I want to do something different, something fresh.” Sho resumed scribbling some stuff only to let out a soft grunt before crossing it out.
Aiba pouted as he sensed his lover's frustration and left his side. After a few minutes, he returned from the kitchen with a glass of milk and a bowl of cookies, setting them down on a paper-free area on the table. He went out and left again to come back with their duvet and tucked it around Sho. Sho glanced at Aiba and gave him a grateful smile. The younger man usually did this ever since they started to go out. Sho could still recall the times when he would be studying like crazy for school in the green room even though he had about less than four hours of sleep due to his schedule, Aiba would always be there cheering him on and making him comfortable as he continued to work.
“Gambatte Sho-chan,” Aiba praised him as he gave him a gentle hug and kissed him on the cheek before climbing onto the couch behind them. “You can do it, ” he stifled a yawn as he said this. “...Sho-chan's the greatest...”
“Un.” Sho nodded, patting Aiba's bangs as he looked at his lover adoringly. “Thank you.” He kissed his forehead before turning back to his work. Aiba continued to watch him work until he drifted off to sleep.

The next few days, Aiba watched Sho still struggle to work on his solo, which according to what he can see from the notepad he always carried around, the song was less than a verse long. He could see Sho getting increasingly bothered by this to the point where he barely cracked a smile. Aiba would of thought this was silly to get frustrated over, as most people would of though, but nevertheless, among the Arashi members, Sho and Nino were known for their song writing the most. Secondly, this is his lover, never did he like when his lover was troubled and would do just about anything to be there and help him. That is a job that any lover would selflessly be willing to do for his lover, right? Of course.
“Watch him for me...” Aiba whispered to Nino as he got up from his seat on the couch and left their green room.

Sho entered the recording studio, feeling somewhat confident after finishing writing the lyrics to his solo. He listened intently to the instrumental, trying to picture the lyrics fitting in perfectly to the melody. What really captured him was the saxophone notes, they were powerful and soul-captivating. It indeed fit the type of song he was going for, something unique from all the other work he has done. He did his recording with flying colors, keeping Aiba in his mind as he sung his heart out since of course Aiba was his inspiration in this song. His golden boy...
“Is there anything you would like the alter in this?” The producer asked Sho after they listened the playback of the finished product. Sho shook his head with no hesitation.
“I think it's great how it is, especially the instrumental.”
“Mmm.” The producer agreed, slightly nodding his head and bowed to Sho. “It was great working with you. Please enjoy your time at training camp.”
“Un,” Sho smiled brightly. “I'm sure I will especially since I got this done.” He bowed back, grabbing his overnight duffel and went out to meet with the rest of the group at the bus.
~ ~ ~
That night, Sho stirred in his futon, still awake. The room was filled with soft snores of his fellow bandmates, Nino pulling at his “unusual” nightshirt, Ohno grinding his teeth, Jun muttering about random stuff about their schedules, and then there was Aiba....He studied his lover's squished sleeping face as the Miracle Boy had stuffed the side of his face against the pillow.
Somehow he left as though he hasn't seen much of Aiba lately, even though he has been obviously around due to the fact they not only work together but live together as a couple. The feeling of missing him, he guessed that was a word that fit how he was feeling now, poured through him and with somewhat guilt for being sort of neglectful to him for the past...he couldn't remember how long it's been since he really took a good look at Aiba.
Sho hummed his song softly as he scooted closer to Aiba, his hands reaching out to his hands and held them securely in his, whispering the lyric “I love you”...
~ ~ ~
They thought this kind of incident had passed and wouldn't ever occur again, for they had always be mildly cautious, but optimistic about Aiba's health condition. However, here they were in the hospital surrounding Aiba's bed...
The Miracle Boy was sound asleep after the emergency procedure. Sho bit his lower lip as his eyes strained, not wanting to tear up like Jun, who was sitting at the corner of the room, only his profile showing as he gazed out the window. Likewise, Nino folded into his chair, staring silently at Aiba, more of looking at the mask over his nose and mouth. Ohno was hunched over in his seat, his mouth resting on his clasped hands, staring at practically nothing but straight ahead until he turned to Sho, whose face was turning pink and tears brimming his eyes as he bit his lower lip harder. It only took Ohno's hand to rub his back soothingly before the rapper broke down into tears on the hand of his unconscious lover, which he has been clutching on.
~ ~ ~
“Sho-chan?” A hand caressed his head. Sho's eyes fluttered open as soon as he heard the voice he has been wanting to hear.
“Masaki!” Sho said in a soft whisper as he gazed at his fragile looking lover, even though he can tell the latter was trying his best to appear normal.
“Sorry for the scare I gave you guys...”
Sho shook his head, grasping Aiba's hand more, his eyes threatening to trickle down his already tear stained face.
“...I forgot to ask you since that day...How was your recording?” Aiba tried to talk normally, but his voice came down to above a whisper.
“It was okay...it was...” Sho caught himself, something started to raise his suspicions. He leaned in more with a serious look.
“That saxophone recording...”
Aiba gave him a small smile. Sho's eyes widened at the small response.
“Aiba Masaki, do you have any idea-?” Sho said softly, but it was clear that if Aiba wasn't in a delicate state, he would of properly reprimanded him for his crime.
“Of course I did, but I really did not like seeing Sho-chan so sad,” Aiba whispered softly, his hand on Sho's shoulder started to caress his head again as Sho's tears fell again.
“Idiot. It was something minor. I would of gotten over my stress in a matter of time. You didn't have to worry about something that measly that you felt obliged to go at do something this dangerous to your health.” Sho clenched his teeth as he tried to keep a straight face even though his voice was cracking.
“I would do anything for Sho-chan because I love you.” Aiba's lips quivered as he proclaimed his love for Sho, like he would do every time he gets the chance to for the rest of his life.
Sho stood up and gently but eagerly embraced Aiba, more tears coming down as they imprinted on Aiba's hospital gown. Aiba rubbed Sho's back as the rapper usually would do whenever he was upset.
Some time later, the doctor came in to check on Aiba and informed him about the treatment he will need to undergo.
Sho was there beside him holding his hand as they listened.
You have done a lot for me Masaki. Please don't scare like me this again. It should be my turn to do anything for you whenever you're in need of help. Please always tell me what's going on. I love you...
~ ~ ~
“More, as we are. So that it will get to you. This unchanging love
Overflowing in these modest days I love you
Connected with deep bonds
More, starting from now. So that it will shine. Tomorrow is wonderful
Only for the two of us (Baby, please stay gold)
A flower of love (Baby, I love you) Forever!”
Nino threw the game magazine he was reading over his head like a bonnet, peeved.
“Would someone please make him stop?! He's been singing to Sho-kun's song nonstop ever since!” He glared at the now healthy Aiba who was bouncing in in seat, plugged into his portable player, waving his hands happily to the music. Ohno and Jun giggled as they watched both of them.
“But Sho-chan said this song is about me!” Aiba said for the nth time, turning to his lover beside him. “It's perfect...” Sho smiled back and placed a chaste kiss on his lover's lips.
Baby, I love you Forever...
