Part one “We had better not be fishing,” Jun frowned, folding his arms and looking at Aiba with a demand for an explanation in his eyes.
Well it wasn’t Aiba’s fault none of them were listening to his explanation at the beginning of their two day group date and therefore had no idea of the schedule that Aiba had painstakingly planned.
Or maybe it was, he wasn’t actually sure.
“No, we’re not,” he replied anyway with his usual enthusiastic expression, and Ohno stuck out his lip and pouted at him, abruptly looking disappointed under his usual black baseball cap.
“Oh-chan, I told you that Jun wouldn’t want to go. And Nino gets sea sick anyway,” he tried to console him and slung his arm around the drooping shoulders. “But at least here we can be close to the ocean, and we can get sushi for lunch, okay?”
The older man looked slightly less upset after the explanation and leaned into the embrace, glancing over at Jun, who appeared relieved and was now looking around them curiously.
“Besides, Yokohama’s a good date spot, right?” Aiba added earnestly, and if he had to be honest, he was super excited to ride the giant Ferris Wheel. Not only was it an awesome view, but all of them could fit in the same car and it would take fifteen minutes and there were so many things to do with those fifteen minutes.
“Well, as long as there’s not a boat involved I’m good,” Nino spoke up, readjusting his own hat (which he had worn to keep his face protected, not for show like Ohno) and squinting up at the bright sun with an expression that said he wanted the outdoor part to be done with as soon as possible.
“It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?” Sho was looking around them too with a light smile on his face as he made casual conversation. The area was covered in greenery and the spot that Aiba had picked as their hiding place while they planned their activities in Yokohama was especially nice, hidden behind the train station in an underused garden area.
“Oh-chan, what do you want to do first?” Aiba asked enthusiastically, hoping that he would choose the Ferris Wheel, and if not, at least Aiba’s second most anticipated event, taking a picture in front of that funny lion fountain.
“Hmm…” Leader distractedly sunk into his thinking position while the others watched him, satisfied to give him his turn after they had all received their own. Although Aiba was starting pretty fixedly, thinking over and over in head Ferris Wheel, Ferris Wheel, as if he could communicate his wants through telepathy.
He caught Ohno’s eyes and smiled widely, wondering if his efforts had been noticed.
“How about some curry?”
Aiba almost fell over.
But then again, Jun groaned and Nino incredulously added, “We only ate breakfast a few hours ago!”
Ohno innocently widened his eyes and asked, “So? It is never not time for curry.”
Sho looked like the only one that agreed with him.
With the group split over the suggestion, all four of them looked to Aiba as the tie breaker and his smile faltered just a little before he slowly suggested, “…After the Ferris Wheel…?”
That drew an even more incredulous look from Nino, and both Jun and Sho were both obviously, utterly disappointed in that answer.
The only person who seemed even remotely interested was Ohno, but Aiba supposed he was the one that mattered at this point.
“The Ferris Wheel sounds fun… Can we really get curry afterwards too?” he asked Aiba hopefully, and Aiba grinned as wide as his mouth would let him and pulled Oh-chan’s hands into his.
“Yes! We can eat curry too!!”
“I’ll wait at the restaurant-“ Nino’s voice was on the verge of disgusted, although with enough boredom mixed in to soften the blow.
“Wait, what?” Aiba’s enthusiasm plummeted, mostly because he wanted them all to stay together.
“Motion sickness applies to more than boats you know.” The look he gave Aiba was pointed and he shrugged, knowing that Aiba had just gotten too excited about the whole thing and overlooked a few (no, scratch that, many) of the small details.
“Me too,” Sho suddenly threw in after him. “Heights…” he added, even though he didn’t need to.
Aiba frowned and Ohno did too, disappointed that their plan had fallen through before it had even been properly developed. “Well, I guess we don’t have to ride it…” Aiba gave in, his eyes downcast and radiating the same aura as a child whose birthday had been forgotten.
This time it was Jun’s turn as the negotiator and he sighed before raising his hands and looking from Nino to Aiba, making sure they were both paying attention to what he was going to say.
“Listen, why don’t we just go with Nino’s suggestion? We don’t even have a place in mind yet, right? He can find a café or something with Sho and the three of us can meet up with them after we’re finished with the Ferris Wheel.”
Aiba tried to keep his eyes from sparkling in appreciation, even if he had been working so hard to keep them together because he thought that’s what this had all been about. But… the Ferris Wheel…!
“Really? Is that okay?” He looked at Nino and Sho, both of whom shrugged and then let out a small smile almost simultaneously.
“Don’t want to ruin your Ferris Wheel fun-“ Nino said in his sarcastic but kind tone.
“It’s not like it’s going to be long,” Sho added and patted Aiba on the shoulder. “Just don’t get worked up and forget about us,” he chuckled. “Besides, I need to talk with Nino about something anyway. It would be the perfect time.”
Aiba was curious about that, but he just nodded and let the two of them walk off with a short wave, promising to be back soon and then clasping hands with the other two and started off for their adventure. Although what he had wanted to do had been canceled thanks to his mishap with Jun’s hair, Aiba could tell the rest of them were trying their best to make sure he was enjoying the date as much as them, and that was enough.

“Are you sure you want to head back early? We still have a few hours left on my schedule here, I thought we could hit Sho’s other restaurant-“
“Masaki, it’s okay,” Sho said in a soft voice with a charming smile and nodded at the ruffled man.
“I mean, if Oh-chan’s okay with it,” Jun added with a pointed look at him, but Ohno just shrugged and smiled sleepily in agreement.
“Besides, I’d much rather eat J’s cooking, and it’s a lot cheaper you know-“ Nino threw in and Aiba just giggled. He’d rather eat Jun’s cooking too, if only because the love put into it was so much sweeter than anywhere else.
“Well…” Aiba didn’t really have anything to add if they were all in agreement. “I mean, that’s fine.”
So they retreated to Jun’s house in the afternoon and Aiba was immediately dragged to the couch where Nino began to snuggle him as they watched the news, and only a few minutes later Ohno was on his other side, making it very very hard to keep his eyes open. It had been a long day so far and they hadn’t slept in just so they could make it to Yokohama within a reasonable amount of time, and being outside had drained a bit of his energy. Plus, Ohno was already letting out tiny sleeping noises and that was not helping one little bit.
Really the last straw was when Nino started whispering in his ear quietly, telling him how much fun they had had over the last two days and how much he loved Masaki, and that should have all been a big hint right there, but Aiba was too sleepy to care.
He was out before the weather forecast.
+++
And he woke up to a gentle caress on his face, Sho bending over him with a huge smile.
“Masaki, Satoshi, dinner’s ready,” he said in a low voice and Aiba rubbed his eyes as he tried to regain himself, pulling his body from up off the couch, and jarring Ohno (who had been right on top of him) as he did so.
“I’m so sorry! How long did I sleep?” Aiba felt a little panicked because he wanted to be spending his free time with Arashi. He could sleep next week when he was working and all by himself!
“Only an hour or two. Come on.” Sho helped him stand with one hand while the other kept Ohno from dropping to the floor, and after a few more seconds, the three of them managed to make it to the table where there was steaming pasta and several side dishes waiting for them. Jun was also there with a huge smile, and Nino joined them a moment later, looking chipper and suspiciously content. He didn’t even say anything about Aiba falling asleep.
They all started eating together at Jun’s insistence (Before it gets cold!), Ohno letting out a dazed, “Amazing,” around a mouthful of food, and Aiba couldn’t help but agree, knowing that Jun had gone out of his way for them yet again.
“Thank you,” he told him around his own full mouth, feeling a little emotional, since he hadn’t quite gotten full control of himself yet after his nap. “Thank you so much, Jun.”
Their date had been (mostly) a success, and he had them to thank for it since he knew best how absent minded and unreliable he could be sometimes. He was so lucky to have these people around him, to have made the wondrous thing they had made with Arashi and the relationships they had now and he loved them all so much.
“Are you going to cry?” Nino teased, taking a petite bite and smirking. “It’s good but not that good.”
“Sorry,” Aiba smiled and rubbed his eyes. He wasn’t crying, but they itched like he was about to, and he should take Nino’s comment as warning and collect himself. Turning his attention to the food, he took another huge mouthful and smiled at Jun (who was basically beaming back at him).
“Really, it’s better than a restaurant, right?” Sho tried to steer the conversation. “Could you cook for me every day, Jun?”
There were a few subdued chuckles at the request and Jun replied with a vague excuse about being busy and not even having time to cook for himself when he wanted to.
As they ate the conversation trickled on until it finally died, and Aiba, feeling recovered, decided to jump back in.
“Well, what should we do after this?”
He hoped it would be sex. Sex would be so nice.
And although he wasn’t sure whether it meant what he wanted it to, he didn’t miss the way that Jun glanced over at Nino and then exchanged a look with Sho.
“We’ll help J clean up of course!” Nino casually replied, collecting the remaining food on his plate with his utensils and eating it in one bite. “Then I have something to show you, so don’t go making any new schedules,” he teased.
Aiba perked up, wondering what it would be. (Knowing Nino he’d probably pull down his pants and say this is what I wanted to show you! but Aiba was fine with that!)
So he got impatient again when Jun gave Sho a second serving and fidgeted in his chair while he watched him, not even able to get distracted by Sho’s erotic lips, but it would be rude to hurry him along and he wasn’t half drunk tonight so he tried to sit still but he couldn’t.
This time it was Nino who distracted him, rubbing his foot on Aiba’s calf under the table, and the only reason he knew it was Nino was because Sho and Jun were too busy while Ohno was sitting right next to him. Plus Nino had that mischievous smile and wasn’t making eye contact at all even though Aiba was blatantly staring at him.
He raised his own foot to cover Nino’s, but then another one came to rest on his thigh, forcing his legs open just a little but that was enough to get him worked up and just a little hard and they were so having sex after this, even if Aiba had to force them to (he knew it wouldn’t be much work anyway).
Then Jun stood and began collecting plates and Aiba helped him, first out of habit, but as soon as Nino stopped touching him he got impatient again, wondering if there was some sort of surprise that had been prepared while he had been sleeping even though it wasn’t anywhere near his birthday and there was really no reason for it. Was it Nino’s doing? It seemed that way, although it was obvious the rest of them knew what was going on.
Sho had finally finished and as Jun wiped off the table, Aiba just stood there watching him, not sure what to do but humming with energy. It seemed to be rubbing off on Ohno because he stood next to him, just starting up at him with a wide smile and bright eyes and Aiba couldn’t help it, he took Ohno’s hand and starting swinging them around jumping up and down just a little until Nino came over and laughed at them.
“Kazu, what is it?” he asked excitedly, even though it had really only been mentioned in passing and maybe he wasn’t making more out of it than it actually was.
“You still have to wait!” Nino held up a finger in mock reproach. “Be a good kid!”
Even though he was probably only teasing, Aiba tried, letting go of Ohno and standing tall and trying not to smile (too much) and not moving at all (or at least as much as he could help it).
Finally when Jun and Sho joined them, they all watched Aiba with warm expressions as Nino told him to close his eyes and just be quiet for a few minutes.
So he did, not peaking at all, more because he wanted to keep it a surprise for himself rather than he was scared of Nino's punishment, and he felt several hands gently pushing him in one direction, towards Jun’s room if he was correct, and Aiba started to get excited again. He hadn’t schedule any sex because something like that was impossible to schedule, but he had hoped that would be part of the finale, of their last night of vacation together. Tomorrow they would return to their normal lives, apart most of the time but getting together when they could (mostly as couples, even if Aiba liked them all together the best).
They walked slowly and Aiba heard the door close behind them and he could at least tell that the lights weren’t on, although he wasn’t sure why because he wasn’t shy, they could undress him and stare at him and he would even keep his eyes shut-
“Okay, you can open your eyes.” Nino’s voice was quiet and gentle and a tone that Aiba hardly ever heard from him.
Although he wasn’t naked (and none of them were either) the sight that met him was more overwhelming than that, making his heart jump up his throat and stopping any breath from moving into his lungs.
All across Jun’s bedroom ceiling were small glowing star stickers and decorative lights, and even a few bigger ones to make it look like the sky at night. At the sight Aiba had to raise his hand to cover his mouth and stop any embarrassing noises from coming out, especially since his eyes were tearing up yet again.
“I know you planned on going to the zoo yesterday-“ Nino started (and didn’t sound at all pleased with that idea), “But J said he wasn’t taking care of a room of stuffed animals, so I went for second best. You said you missed the night sky here in Tokyo, right?”
Aiba remembered the conversation perfectly. In Chiba it was clear enough that on brisk nights he remembered seeing the entire galaxy as a child. Recently he’d come to miss that because in Tokyo even seeing one star at night was a miracle, and yet when he was able to stay in Chiba it wasn’t quite what it used to be either. In fact, he probably liked this more than a room full of stuffed animals, because Nino had put some actual thought into it, had considered what he really wanted, not just what he had said.
(And then he realized that Nino must have been paying attention enough to figure out that he had been planning on dragging them to the zoo with him, either that or he had secretly found his notes that he had shoved away in his bag because he already had the schedule memorized.)
“Guys… Th-thank-“ He couldn’t help it, he sniffed, and once he looked around at them, each of them, their faces glowing in the lights overhead-Ohno’s just as bright as the stars, and Nino’s with a mellow glow, and Sho looking so gentle, and Jun’s strong features perfectly highlighted-he couldn’t help it, the tears started falling and he wiped them away, so entirely grateful to be here with them, that they cared about him enough for this.
“You big baby,” Nino sighed endearingly and was the first to wrap his arms around him, followed by Jun, and then Ohno came from behind to collect both Jun and Aiba together, leaving room for Sho to lean forward and kiss him.
“S-sorry,” he gasped against Sho’s lips, actually increasingly overwhelmed by the sudden contact more than comforted, and only began to really calm down after a few seconds of kissing, which brought him back to an emotional plane that he could deal with properly.
When Sho pulled back Aiba took a few deep breaths and reached up to wipe his face just in case, smiling happily in embarrassment as much as bliss.
“You guys didn’t really have to do this,” he tried to say in a wobbly voice, but Nino chuckled and interrupted before Jun could start in with a series of reprimands at Aiba’s selflessness.
“Oh don’t go all altruistic on us. Even though it was your fault your part of the date got messed up doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve something, so just accept it and be happy. And take your clothes off already.”
Aiba started to giggle at that straightforward demand and stumbled a little as Nino suddenly pushed him towards Jun’s bed (which just happened to be covered in matching dark blue silk sheets that shimmered slightly in the overhead starlight), but before he could pounce on him properly, Ohno grabbed Nino’s arm and made him turn back around with a pout.
“No fair Kazu! You hogged him all last night!” he whined with furrowed brows. “You said I could be next.”
As the words sunk in Sho asked with confusion, “Wait, when has there ever been an order?” Then after a pause, “And what’s with everyone arguing over Aiba?” he added with a nervous laugh, glancing once at the said man and totally giving himself away to the rest of them despite his expression being half hidden by the lack of clear lighting.
There was an awkward moment were Nino half glared at Sho who looked at the rest of them innocently, and Aiba was trying his hardest not to laugh, slowly sitting on the bed to watch this whole thing play out. He loved being with all of them more than he could ever say, but this was certainly the first time for something like this. It must be because of all the work he had put into their two day date.
“Okay, okay,” Jun broke in from behind, holding up his hands and staring at the other three pointedly. “I get it.”
There was a moment of silence where Aiba tried his hardest not to start laughing again, then Jun finally took action and promptly grabbed Nino around the waist, pulling him back against him despite Nino’s slight resistance and grumbling noises.
“No fair, J.”
“You should keep your promises, Nino.”
He continued to pout overdramatically and folded his arms across his chest as Ohno politely thanked Jun and approached Aiba with a grin, and Sho doubled checked the obvious permission with a quick glance before promptly taking the opportunity put before him.
+++
“At least… a kiss…” Nino still hadn’t let the topic go, even after an hour of Jun’s careful ministrations, and Aiba wasn’t sure if it was only because that was just the way Nino was, or if he actually wanted Aiba that much today, or (most likely) was just teasing Jun because he knew how much it would irritate him.
And it did.
“I’m not enough for you?” Jun growled, thrusting into Nino roughly and then snapping his hips sharply once to make sure he got a reaction for his efforts (he did, a sharp intake of breath and scratchy growl as Nino arched his back in triumph).
“That’s not-oh fuck-“
Aiba had watched them for a second, but he didn’t want Oh-chan to get annoyed with him, so he tried to refocus and turned back to him, but Ohno was giving him a half annoyed half understanding look and jerked his head slightly.
“Just get it over with already,” he mumbled, then looked away and Aiba couldn’t help but grin at the cute pouting. He knew that Ohno wanted his full attention, but that wouldn’t happen until Nino’s complains were silenced, so he didn’t mind taking a slight detour in order to insure that he could completely satisfy their Leader.
After glancing at Sho too (who looked like the whole thing couldn’t be helped), Aiba turned to Jun and said, “Is it okay?” with a giggle he couldn’t restrain.
“Fine, whatever,” was his immediate response as he continued his rough pace, but if it really wasn’t okay Aiba knew he would have said so, would have made a big deal out of it, so he bent over Nino, who was trying to look devious despite almost trembling from Jun’s treatment.
“Just one okay?” Aiba told him with a smile of his own, wanting to tease Nino as much as Jun was and punish him for being so bratty in a situation like this.
Nino just smirked and gasped under his breath before pulling Aiba down to meet him, melding their mouths together and attacking before Aiba could, invading the inside with his tongue and twisting it in a way that make Aiba tingle deep inside.
And then Nino got distracted, starting moaning again but actually it only came out as urgent hums in his throat and he tried to push Aiba away a little, but Aiba wouldn’t have that. He held on and pressed Nino into the mattress deeper as he felt the younger man begin violently shaking and thrashing on the bed, and he had a suspicion of what had just happened, how Nino had just been had by all of them for his punishment.
As expected, when he finally went limp against him, Aiba turned back to catch Ohno sitting back up from where he had obviously just finished viciously attacking Nino’s lower extremities, wiping his lips and displaying a small grin on his soft face.
Sho was there too, still circling Nino’s nipples gently even as Nino tried to halfheartedly push him away, and he shared a playful look with Oh-chan before sliding back off the bed to get into position. As he passed behind Jun, who was still rotating his hips distractedly inside of Nino, obviously on the verge of coming but drawing out the pleasure, he stopped and slowly slid his arms around Jun’s sculpted torso, playing with his nipples as well, and attaching his lips to his neck lightly. That caused him to throw his head back and let out a jumbled string of pleas under his breath, and finally, when Sho sunk his teeth into the protruding muscle of the juncture between his neck and shoulder, he came with a surprise jerk of his hips, burying himself into Nino completely and causing him to curse.
Sparing a quick merciless look at Nino, Ohno finally grinned teasingly and pulled Aiba back to him, pinning him to the other side of the bed and starting back up where they had been interrupted.
+++
“That’s it, right there Masaki, right there-fuuuck-“ Sho’s voice tapered off into a high pitched whine, Ohno kissing him anywhere he could on his face and neck in his position underneath him.
Aiba enjoyed watching the two of them, Sho on his knees as he was taken from behind, and Ohno teasing him in the ways he was best at, sprawled out below the other two. Leader was waiting for his turn since he wanted to come last (and therefore was not letting Aiba finish off despite fucking him for a bit first, then Sho-chan next, but at least Sho-chan was close to coming and Ohno might not be far behind, so Aiba thought he could probably make it). Their bodies were flush together, Sho almost lying on top of Ohno as his knees starting giving away, and he could feel his hips moving along with Aiba’s thrusts, trying to find release against Oh-chan’s stomach.
And he did. Aiba felt a pulse of heat around his cock which really just about did him in, but with a little willpower (and imaging how sad Ohno would be if he succumbed), he managed to hold it off.
As he came, Sho was moaning and gasping in an extraordinarily feminine fashion, his voice breathy and levied with tension. Just like Nino, he was shaking and when he looked closer, Ohno was too.
“You almost came from that, didn’t you old man?” Nino teased as he watched them, completely sedated and barely moving at all for the last half hour.
“Did not, Nino.” Ohno’s voice was low, making it hard to distinguish how worked up he was, but Aiba could see him clearly despite the dim lighting (although he really wondered if Nino could, especially with his eyes half closed like that) and knew that he had been as close as Aiba had been even if he wasn’t the one being fucked (or doing the fucking).
“Yes you did,” Nino insisted with an almost inaudible chuckle.
“I didn’t come, that’s what matters,” Ohno argued back, completely cutting off the conversation even if Nino was still making amused noises at them and obviously ready to push the subject.
“Oh-chan…?” Aiba took the opportunity when it presented itself, slowly sliding out of Sho, who sighed as he did so, then pushing him forward a little so he could have access to the man underneath him, hoping it would be okay to finish off quickly.
“I’m ready Masaki,” he said in what Masaki considered to be his most sexy voice ever and that made him even more impatient than he already was. Then Ohno added, “Sho, kiss me,” and that was that.
It was the perfect way to finish off their two day group date.
+++
Well actually that wasn’t quite the end of it because Jun had a reasonably high stamina and Sho liked fucking, and Nino got Ohno worked up again and Aiba was more than happy to participate in anything, and it wasn’t until early morning that they all somehow managed to get into the bathroom to wash off their sweat and bodily fluids with a hot shower, and then a short soak in the bathtub. (Because Jun insisted that he wasn’t going to sleep in a pile of who-knew-what dripping off of them when he had work tomorrow and even though Nino grumbled, he promised him coffee in the morning and it was settled quickly enough.)
When Aiba came back into the starlit room he smiled again, able to take in more details now that he wasn’t worried about bursting into tears at any second. It was really beautiful like this, the glow of the heavens right in their own home (well, Jun’s home, but close enough), and Aiba really hoped he would keep it like this for a while. It had made the sex so much more romantic.
Now that he was satisfied, Aiba was exhausted too, thinking about his jobs for tomorrow, which wouldn’t be fun to get through on only three hours of sleep, but it wasn’t the first time and it had been more than worth it for tonight-he was sure it had been worth it for all of them.
Only three people could fit on the bed, so they decided to play rock, paper, scissors for who would end up in the futons on the floor, but after he thought about it, Aiba decided that he’d rather be there, looking up at the ceiling like he was camping outside with infinity to look upon, so he volunteered to lose.
Which made Nino volunteer to lose, which made Ohno jump in with a pout, which made Sho sigh and Jun pretend like he was solving the problem by taking the other futon with Aiba.
(“You just want to sleep by him too!” Nino accused. “It’s your apartment for God’s sake!”)
They were all tired, though, so the quick decision was rock, paper, scissors anyway and when the results yielded Sho, they didn’t argue and instead just dejectedly slid into Jun’s large bed one after the other.
When Aiba’s head hit the cool side of the pillow on the floor he let out a content sigh (he really didn’t get why they were all caught up on him tonight, but it pleased him to an inexpressible degree) and when Sho laid down next to him, he immediately reached over to link their hands.
“We had fun, right Sho-chan?” he asked in a soft voice, looking up at the stars that had been put there for him. It really was just like camping.
First Sho chuckled and settled in before turning to Aiba and watched him watch the sky.
“All thanks to you, Masaki. We really do appreciate all your effort, even if we weren’t able to do anything about it until today.”
Aiba turned to him with a wide smile and pulled Sho into a snuggle, making his friend laugh again and hug him right back.
“Hey! See, they are cuddling!” Nino whined, and Jun shhed him before there were some rustling noises on the bed and Aiba snickered at that too, wondering if Nino was being restrained or not. Actually it was probably good things ended up this way, because Jun and Ohno would certainly keep him in line, what with the defensive mood Leader had gotten into.
“No more talking. Sleeping. Now,” Jun’s irritated voice cut through the room, and it was dead silent for a second before the rest of them started laughing at him together.
It went on for a minute before Jun clicked his tongue and added, “We have to wake up in a few hours, guys. Come on.”
“Fine, fine, J. You win. I’m too tired to keep my eyes open anyway.”
“Thank God,” he replied in genuine relief and sent the rest of them into a fit of laughter once again.
+++
When a loud beep pierced through the room, Aiba jolted awake, although his eyes wouldn’t open right away, too heavy with exhaustion.
And his body wasn’t moving either, even though he was usually the first one able to get up out of bed, followed by Nino because he was a light sleeper, but the beeping continued and it took almost a full minute, after the alarm had rotated through it’s faster and louder sounds, before Aiba realized the reason behind his immobility.
Sho was wrapped around him with a vice grip, his head pressing into his torso awkwardly while his feet stuck out the bottom of the futon (Aiba hoped he wouldn’t catch a cold, even if the room temperate wasn’t really that low).
It was still dark, only barely different from the late ambience they had gone to sleep in, but the stars were still lighting the room in a charming glow, and when Aiba could finally open his eyes he took in the scene, wondering if it would be the last time he’d be able to see it.
He had really enjoyed it, their two day date. Everything had been perfect. No sudden jobs, no emergencies, no complications with traveling or anything like that. And best of all, he was convinced (after last night) that the others had enjoyed it just as much as he had.
While he was reminiscing, though, the alarm went off again, and this time he struggled as much as he could to get out of Sho’s arms, and although he made it halfway to the bedside table, the clock was still too far away, and finally Nino shot his arm out to turn it off, letting out an annoyed grunt.
“Good morning!” Aiba said cheerfully, even if Nino’s head hadn’t emerged from the pile of body parts, and he received a second grunt in return, followed by one from Jun.
And Sho seemed to be stirring too, his strong arms loosening just a little. But in the end he rubbed his head against Aiba’s chest again and sighed before trying to fall back asleep.
“Sho-chan!” Aiba wasn’t going to let that happen. They had to go to work, and if he didn’t get Sho and Jun moving they would complain about not being able to do their hair, or get dressed properly, or only eating instant ramen for breakfast…
Yes, it was Aiba’s responsibility to get them all up in situations like these, even if they were all just as exhausted as he was.
So he began shaking Sho, who finally turned onto his back and beadily blinked up at the ceiling.
“Among the stardust I met you.”
Aiba stared at him before breaking out into a big smile.
“It was like a love story that would cross eternity.”
“Sho-chan, that’s so sweet!” he squealed before pulling Sho back against him happily, giving up immediately on getting him out of bed.
“If only we had met sooner, with planets shining in our eyes,” he continued in the same detached, almost monotone, voice and then fell silent, resting his head against Aiba again and promptly drifting off again.
“Seriously? He sleep talks too?”
Aiba looked over at Nino who was swinging his legs over the side of the bed and looking ruffled with sleep, rubbing at his face and sighing again.
“He was admitting his love for me, Nino!” Aiba said happily, and the other man just looked at him without emotion before stretching and thoroughly ignoring the whole thing.
But Aiba knew better. He’d probably use the situation to make fun of Sho when they were all more awake, even if Aiba thought it was so sweet of him to say something that romantic and poetic. Even in his sleep.
So sweet of them all really, to set this up for him. He looked up at the ceiling one more time, trying to memorize it, then squeezed Sho’s sleeping form before standing up and following Nino into the bathroom even as Nino complained about him doing so.
Of course he was easily shut up with a good morning kiss (even if he wouldn’t let Aiba go after they started), and when they (finally) made it back into the bedroom Ohno was up too, teasing Jun by tickling the side of his face with a strand of his unruly hair.
It took a little while, but Aiba managed to get them all moving (with no help from Nino, who was already getting dressed himself, and Ohno was more of a distraction than anything). Since Jun was still mostly incapacitated, Aiba was the one to start on breakfast, making his usual (very simple) omelet and some instant miso soup for all of them, and Sho was almost in tears when he saw it, claiming that it had been months since he’d had anything before he left his house in the morning.
More time had been wasted getting things done than Aiba had hoped it would, and almost instantly they had a need to hurry so they would all make it to their first meeting without being late. It wouldn’t do if they all left Jun’s apartment together, so Nino (who was ready before he even ate anything) called for a taxi and left first.
As they all sent him off (Nino giving them all an amused look in return), Aiba sighed, finally feeling like their two day date had come to an end.
“It was fun, wasn’t it?” Sho said longingly as he closed the door, like he had read Aiba’s mind.
“Yeah,” Ohno added, then smiled at Aiba and added, “Thank you.”
“No, no, it’s not really-“ he tried to disregard the extensive gratitude, but Jun smacked him on the head and all he could do was laugh.
“Well, we’d better get moving too,” Sho commented with a look at the clock, then promptly headed back for Jun’s bedroom to pull himself together as much as he could before they were expected at the office.
“Oh!” Aiba let out suddenly as an idea came to him. “I should have given Nino a goodbye kiss!” he cried distraughtly as he stared between Jun and Ohno who had stayed behind to hear his revelation.
And of course they both laughed at him.
“Will you give me one when I leave? Please? I’ll get mine from Nino later,” he explained enthusiastically, and of course the two of them agreed with amused expressions.
They were pressed for time, though, so Jun retreated after Sho (but not before playfully pinching Ohno’s ass). Ohno only watched him go without any retaliation (or any reaction at all really), then turned to Aiba when they were alone, with a serious look on his face, his eyebrows furrowed ever so slightly.
Wondering what was the matter, Aiba was going to ask him, but before he could Ohno explained:
“I need your help, Aiba-chan.”
He blinked once and shrugged, hoping whatever it was that it would be fun.
“We need to make Arashi’s image sexier. Starting today. Operation: Sex Machine.”
A smile spread across his face, first of all because of Ohno’s request despite his expression, and second of all due to the actual content of the request.
Aiba could do sexy. And planning everything would definitely be fun.
“We should start with Jun,” he added, then giggled and turned towards the bedroom door, already having an amazing idea.

A/N: I managed to finish somehow...! Sorry for keeping you waiting forever. As mentioned, this is my word prompt fic for
my contest. For a list of the prompt words, check out
my masterpost! If you think I missed yours let me know and I'll point it out or apologize haha. I think only one didn't make it and that was because the user gave me the and/or option. I'll be posting the poll for the other fics probably next weekend. :3
Uhm, I'm not going to lie I feel like this was slightly rushed? And obviously I didn't get out a full sex scene, but I don't think that would have happened anyway even with no time limit. You'll probably be seeing a lot more of this kind of thing from me for a while, skipping the "boring" parts because I just can't write as smoothly as I used to.
Also, I'm wondering if there's anyone that would want to be a part time beta for me? Not for everything, just about one fic a month or so. After the anon criticism meme I feel like that might be one thing that would help me right now. But I think there was something posted on
arashirabu so maybe I should just check there... Opinions? Might have found one already, sorry for the trouble, haha.
