Jun sighed. Toma was out that night without telling him where he was going, again. Not that he wanted to control his lover or to restrict him from his freedom but Toma was causing trouble. He would end up drunk and not able to walk causing someone to contact Jun in the middle of the night and had to start searching for him from one bar to another. He didn’t mind at first but when Toma repeated the same patern over and over again he felt frustrated. Toma’s behavior was causing him his hours of sleep since he will only get back home with one drunken Toma in hand almost at dawn.
Jun looked at the clock that shoeing almost midnight and decided to give Toma a few minutes before started calling or searching for him. Then his cell rang. He picked up the phone and looked at the caller and sighed in relieve upon seeing Toma’s name.
“Jun-chan, are you home?”
“Where are you?” Jun asked without answering Toma. “Do you know what time is this?”
“I found this newly open karaoke club beside this restaurant we always go and so much fun here…” Toma started babbling ignoring Jun’s nagging. “Wanna check it out with me?”
“I’ll end up bringing you home afterwards so I might as well come…”
“Yay~ I’ll wait for you inside then…” Toma said cheerfully. “Call me when you get here, kay…” and Toma hang up.
Jun sighed as he reached for his coat and walked outside the house.

Ohno walked as fast as he could, trying to reach up to Nino. The guy seemed to be rushing towards home. Ohno accidently bumped into a pole as he failed to notice its existence causing the plastic bags he was holding to drop and him squatting down winched painfully.
Nino also stopped upon hearing a loud thud behind him and quickly went to Ohno’s side feeling guilty. “Toshi, are you ok?”
“What do you think?” Ohno asked sarcastically as he kept rubbing his forehead.
“I’m sorry…” Nino said timidly as he pushed Ohno’s hand gently to look at the injury. He touched the spot to see Ohno’s reaction and frowned with worry as Ohno winched again. “Do you need a doctor?”
“That’s ok. Just a little scratch…” Ohno smiled. He stood up and started to pickup the scattered plastic bags. “Why are you walking so fast, anyway?”
“I- its nothing…” Nino looked down to hide his face from Ohno. He started to play with his fingers a habit Ohno notice Nino had when he was nervous about something.
Ohno smirked as he knew what the younger was thinking about. “Oh, really? Ok then…” he said as he started walking.
“No, wait…” Nino managed to grasp Ohno’s elbow to stop him. He frowned a little before noticing the curve at the tips of Ohno’s lips. “You-” but before he managed to finish his words, Ohno leaned forward and caught Nino’s lips with his.
“I’ve missed you…” Nino said as soon as the kiss was broken.
“I miss you too…” Ohno responded before claiming Nino’s lips again but being stopped by Nino halfway through. “What?”
“I’m sorry, Toshi but not now…” Nino smiled sadly. He placed his hand on Ohno’s chest to keep the body contact. “Not when we know our friends are in trouble…”
“You do know that they’re settling it now, right?” Ohno tried to convince Nino.
“Yeah, but-” Nino frowned as he recalled how Aiba reacted when he mention that he had asked Sho to join them and when the man himself appeared in front of him. “Are those two doing ok?” He looked to OHno as if asking for words of assurance. “We shouldn’t have left them like that…”
“They have to settle whatever happens between them, themselves. We’ve helped enough…” Ohno said as he touhed Nino’s hand on his chest lovingly. “Beside it’s been a while since we’re together…”
“I know… but I can’t…” Nino looked down afraid to see Ohno’s disappointed expression but surprised as Ohno’s hand cupped his face to face him.
“Kisses would do then…” Ohno smiled a little as he pulled Nino closer for a deep kiss.

Jun waved to stop the taxi before climbing in one that stopped right in front of him. After giving direction to the driver, he leaned back, relaxing himself a little while enjoying the ride. It took 10 minutes to get to the place and Jun decided to take a nap before something caught his eyes. There was a man squatting in front of a close store looking down. What caught his interest was the shirt that man was wearing. It was Aiba’s. He paid the taxi’s fee before got off it and ran to that man.
“Aiba-chan?” Jun asked as soon as he got the clear view of the man.
Aiba looked up to see Jun was looking down to him. He looked back down, wiped away his tears before looking back up to him and gave him a smile. “Matsujun…”
“What are you doing?” Jun asked as he pulled Aiba up to his feet.
“Ah~ just walking…”
“Really?” Jun saw tears stain on Aiba’s face so he knew that the man was lying. “Where to?”
“No- Nowhere. I’m just about to head home now anyway…” Aiba started to walk away when he felt hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Jun frowning at him.
“Aiba-chan, is something wrong?” Jun asked with concern. He hated to see Aiba looking all emo and gloomy.
“I-” Aiba stopped and looked down, avoiding telling anything to Jun.
“If you don’t wanna talk about it than that’s fine…” Jun finally said “… but let me accompany you tonight. I’m worried to see you like this…”
“That’s ok… I’ll just-”
“Aiba-chan~…”
“Ok, I’ll let you stick with me…” Aiba chuckled causing Jun to smile.
“Let’s go for a drink then, my treat…” Jun said as he swung his hand at Aiba’s shoulder. He started pulling Aiba with him as he started to walk. “Aiba-chan, I’m sorry…” he said suddenly.
“For what?” Aiba turned his head to see Jun looking down.
“For lying and deceiving you…”
“Oh, I’ve forgiven you…” Aiba smiled as he took Jun’s hand off his shoulder and gripped it tightly showing his forgiveness before started walking again. The moment Aiba didn’t notice, Jun took out his cell and started typing something before catching up with him.

Toma skipped happily into the karaoke and headed to the recieptionist. He asked for an empty room and flashed him his best smile. He still remember making out Jun in a karaoke room and somehow he liked it. He walked past a few room before stopping at his designated room and peeked inside.
“Wow~ nice~” he exclaimed as he stepped inside the room. He looked around it and jumped on the couch to test its softness before slumping down on it with satisfaction. “This gotta be good…” he said as he continued to pat the couch with his eyes going around the room.
He ordered a few bottle of alcohol drink and some refreshment before locking himself inside waiting patiently for his lover to arrive. After half an hour waiting, he decided to go on singing before hearing ring cell. He took the cell out of his pocket to see that he’d received a text messege. Hoping that it was Jun that had arrived outside, he read the text.
To: Toma-chan
Sorry, can’t tonite…
Something urgent...
Will come to get u later~
From: Jun-chan
“Stupid, Jun-chan…” Sighing as he read it, Toma stood up and went for the door, grasped it tightly before walking out from the karaoke club looking as gloom as one could be. Even the receiptionist tilted her head in confusion upon seeing the cheerful man that had entered earlier had given a very dark aura when he stepped out. The truth was she was worried that went other customers seen it they will think twice before entering it.
“Are you ok, sir? Is our service not up to your standard? May we ask for your cooperation to fill this questionnaire?” the receiptionist started interrogating him.
Not in the mood for anything Toma just shook his head and fake a smile before exiting the club. He wondered around the town to seek comfort for himself. He had stopped from bar to bar without even drinking a drop of alcohol and watching people instead. At last he found himself entering a very quiet bar where people seemed to not knowing one another. That’s was when he spotted a familiar figure drinking alone at the end of the counter. He smiled as he realized who that man was and walked over to him.
“Hey…” Toma greeted as he took his place beside that man. He ordered a drink for himself before turing to face the man. His eyes widened as he saw a dozens of glasses lined up in front of him. “Bad day?” he asked earning him a glance. “Yeah~ same here…”
Instead of responding to Toma, Sho continued chugging down his beer before clunking the glass down with a loud thud. Looking at the unwilling man, Toma decided to stop talking and slowly sipped down his drink without taking his eyes off Sho.
“You know…” Sho started causing Toma to flinch. He didn’t notice when he started to lost in his own world. He turned to Sho and waited for the man to continue with his words. Instead, Sho continued to drink. After about a minute later, Sho started talking again. “I’ll do anything for his forgiveness…” Toma nodded in respond as he knew who Sho was talking about. “I never meant to hurt him…”
“I know…” Toma glupped down his drink in one go before ordering another one. As the drink reached his hand, Sho continued.
“I- I don’t know what to do…” Sho had his hands on the counter and placed his head on top of it. Toma heard his sobbing a couple of minutes later.
“Sho…” Toma patted his back trying to calm Sho down. Sho stopped sobbing a while later and raised his head to look at Toma.
“He’d told me that he didn’t love me anymore…” he said with teary eyes. “What should I do?”
“Maybe you should let him go…” Toma said as he lifted his glass to his mouth.
“NO!” Sho exclaimed causing Toma to chock off his drink. “No. I- I love him too much to let him go… I- I can’t picture my life without him. I’ll die if I don’t have him…” Sho went down to cry again.
“Really? Coz I’ve heard that you’re doing just fine without him a few months ago…” Toma said quietly and abviously Sho didn’t hear him as he was too occupied with his thoughts. He didn’t mean it that way as he also was troubled by love. He continued clugging down his drink again as he was lost at words. As he placed the glass back on the counter, Sho had grasped his shoulders. “Sho?”
“Masaki…” Sho leaned forward and pulled Toma into an embrace before claiming his lips catching him off guard. Toma would have gladly responded to the kiss if wasn’t for two pair of eyes looking at him. One with confusion while the other with anger.
---
Jun walked over to both men, dragging Aiba with him before peeling Toma off Sho. He pulled Toma away and shoved Aiba to replace him, into Sho’s embrace where he belonged.
“Wait, Matsujun-” Aiba called for Jun and started to struggle but drunken Sho was too strong for him. He gripped tighter to each struggle Aiba gave him. Aiba gave up trying as he stayed still. He sighed as his eyes followed Jun following Toma out of the place.
“Toma, Stop!” Jun managed to grip Toma’s wrist before the lad got to escape. “Where do you think you’re going?” he asked as he turned Toma towards him.
“Away from you…” Toma said irritably as he fought back to free himself.
“What’s with you?” Jun frowned and let go of Toma’s wrist to grasp his shoulders. “I’m the one who should be mad here seeing my boyfriend kissing other guy…”
“Is Aiba-chan your urgent business?” Toma asked ignoring Jun’s outburst. He had stopped moving as he knew he can never escape from Jun.
“No. well yeah, but you know it didn’t mean like that…” Jun looked into his eyes to show his sincerity. “I just met him when I’m on my way to see you…”
“Really? What was I saw just now?” Apparently Toma had saw Jun’s hand around Aiba’s shoulder.
“It’s just a friendly guesture…” Jun explained.
“Well, me and Sho were doing the same then…”
“Kissing is out of that category. You know that!” Jun had backed Toma against the wall. “Damn it, Toma. Why-” Jun was interrupted with the sound of his cellphone. When he tried to reach for it, Toma tried to slip out of his grip. Jun however managed to catch his wrist and pinned him against the wall. His eyes squinted as if saying ‘don’t you dare move a muscle or else’ before answering the call.

Aiba felt his body stiffened up when Sho placed his face at the crook of his neck. He had both his hands on Sho’s hips, ready to push him away if he started to do something. Aiba didn’t know what he was expecting Sho to do but he didn’t feel the need to push Sho away just yet. He missed him too much and decided to devour the moment while he still can.
“Masaki…” Aiba felt his heart stopped upon hearing Sho calling him. He pushed the man off him to see that he was still half-conscious. Slowly and gently he placed Sho’s head back on the counter on his own hands. Aiba hugged him from behind and rested his head on Sho’s arm.
“Sho-chan, please stop…” Aiba whispered hoping that somehow Sho would listen. “If you keep doing this I can’t stay away…”
Aiba’s only purpose was to stay away from Sho. He didn’t want to break a family apart just for his sake. Enough with what Sho and everyone had to go through. Enough with what he had to go through for the sake of love. He didn’t think that he will be able to handle another heart break again. “I don’t think I can go through all this all over again… I’m sorry…” he started sobbing. He let his tears fell down and wetted Sho’s shirt. He closed his eyes, devoring the feeling of Sho’s body against him while letting his tears fell out.
“You’re gonna be fine, like before…” Aiba continued, wiping his tears away “… and you’ll be happy… I know you will…” he tried to hold another drop of tear to fall as he managed the last sentence. “Just not with me…” He stood up, holding his urged to never let Sho go before saying something to the bartender. He glanced over to Sho one last time before stepping out of the bar.
---
“Hello, Jun?”
“Yeah, hello, Kazu…” Even though Jun always kept in touch with Ohmiya couple when they were abroad, he’d always talked to Ohno. He didn’t get to talk to Nino since both always found excuses not to talk to each other to avoid feeling awkward around each other due to previous incident about Jun’s father. Ohno didn’t attempt to be a peacemaker between both guys because he knew Nino won’t appreciate him to interfere with that matter.
“Ye- yeah, you Aiba- I mean, are you with Aiba now?” Nino stuttered as he found awkward to be talking to Jun with different attitude once again.
“He was… why?” Jun tried not to sound too stiff but with Toma struggling against him it didn’t help. He sounded more nervous than he wanted too.
“Ah~ I’m with Sho now…”
“You are? I left Aiba with him…”
“Well he’s not here… at least not anymore…”
“I’m nearby anyway… I’ll be there in a sec…” Jun said before he hung up. He moved away from Toma but hand still grip hard on his wrist.
“Who’s that?” Toma asked as he followed Jun’s lead obediently.
“My cousin…”
“What’d he want?”
“He’s with Sho now and apparently Aiba had asked the bartender to contact Ohno to fetch Sho…”
“He dumped him like that?”
“I guess, yeah…”
A few minutes later all five men plus one drunken Sho found themselves in the club sitting face to face discussing on Sakuraiba’s love life. Sho had past out beside Ohno, oblivious of his surrounding.
“Thank god that the bartender had a very good memory of recognizing people…” Jun said timidly as if trying to break the tension.
“Years of experience watching people, one can have that ability too…” Toma said nonchalantly causing Jun to glare and him ogling back.
“Anyway…” Ohno said a little loud tried to catch everyone attention to him “… the two’s relationship was obviously far from better… we need to do something about it…”
“… And fast…” Nino continued as all eyes fell on Sho.
“Mine and Kazu’s plans turn out fail so we need extra heads…” Ohno resumed as no one saying anything. “Any idea?”

“Thank god that the bartender had a very good memory of recognizing people…” Jun said timidly as if trying to break the tension.
“Years of experience watching people, one can have that ability too…” Toma said nonchalantly causing Jun to glare and him ogling back.
“Anyway…” Ohno said a little loud tried to catch everyone attention to him “… the two’s relationship was obviously far from better… we need to do something about it…”
“… And fast…” Nino continued as all eyes fell on Sho.
“Mine and Kazu’s plans turn out fail so we need extra heads…” Ohno resumed as no one saying anything. “Any idea?”
