I've read this when it was first posted but I haven't commented so I'm doing it here. You took an unpopular pairing and a popular pairing and created a wonderful story. Your use of the prompt is spot on.

I like how your characters are all flawed and real.
Nino is conflicted and as Ohno is patient and he can read Nino like a book (when Ohno prevented Nino from going home with a girl because he knows Nino will hate himself in the morning)

I admit that I don't know much about Masami (I haven't seen her dramas) but here I think she was probably as hurt as Nino was when they ended everything.

I like how their relationship developed from being good friends to something more. I think the Ohmiya SK scenes are like parts of a subtle courtship ritual. And the last SK scene where they start holding hands is sweet.

I like to think that Ohno knows the other members really well--especially Nino, if he's been watching Nino as long as this fic suggests. He cares, but he's also able to get angry when that caring is taken advantage of.

Masami I personally know nothing about, either. But I do know that situations like that are never easy, no matter how much you love each other. And I wanted to show a different side of her to fandom, since I feel like she often gets thrown under the bus. It's funny... even amongst those who like het, it's just not at all a popular pairing.

Thank you for reading and leaving such a wonderful comment. :)
