Summary:: Ohno Satoshi was a normal employee in a normal office of a normal company, having a normal life with a normal wife. Until one day, his old boss had to be replaced by the CEO's son. Then, Ohno never thought his normal life could be that chaotic just because that person wanted something more than a normal employee/boss relationship with him.
His eyes hurt because of the laptop’s screen, he thought that maybe the glasses would help, but as always it was too many hours working in front of numerous documents and numbers. His head was so tired and he only wanted to end that horrible day, that horrible week. Unluckily, he stayed more there because he did not want to reach home yet. His boss was used to see him working until being the last one going home, but he was concerned too about his health. His life was dedicated to work. And to his wife too. Working a long shift to return home and being with his wife. That would sound pretty good if he felt relaxed with her, but the only thing he wanted was peace and loneliness, exactly what she did not give him.
His wife was always asking him about his work, about his coworkers, about the late hours, about what he had done, and it was fine, sometimes he wanted to talk with her. However, she was stressing him much more when she drove him crazy at the evenings. That was why he stayed in the company even if he did not have work enough, he wanted to hear the silence and sigh alone. Less that day. The light of his boss's office was still on and that was weird because his boss was always on time to meet his wife after work. He would love to have someone waiting for him outside who he wanted to go with and spend hours together. That was impossible with his wife.
Then, as if he knew something was wrong, he stood up and walked beside his desk, hitting with his hand the plate with his name written on it and making it fall on the floor. The sound was too loud in the middle of the silence and he closed his eyes, hating himself inwardly. His hand was stretched to catch it and his eyes read the three kanji on it.
大野 智 (Ohno Satoshi)
“Ohno Satoshi, what are you aiming for in your life?” he asked himself aloud and sighed. He put it on the desk again and headed to the office slowly. His knuckles knocked on the door slightly and a gentle voice let him come inside. Satoshi bowed after opening the door and finding his boss saving all his stuff into boxes. He frowned deeply, what did it mean?
“You’re still here, right?” his boss smiled tiredly. “You’re so young yet, how old…?” he stopped to think.
“Twenty six, boss” he reminded the old man in front of his eyes.
“See? So young to be wasting all this time working” Satoshi looked down knowing that he was right, but after all his life could not offer him more options than working or being in home.
“I want to reach someday the chance to be boss” Ohno confessed with that fluffy face of his. The old man chuckled and approached him to pat his shoulder.
“Boy, it's good to have dreams, but don't ruin your life. Go out, meet friends, laugh, be happy. You have an amazing wife, try a trip with her, don't forget her” his boss stroked his shoulder and continued saving things in boxes. Satoshi observed him in silence, he was thinking about his words. His wife did not mean not to ruin his life, maybe marrying her killed his chances for a successful life.
“And why are you putting your stuff in boxes, boss?” he asked curious about it. Would they fix the office? Or maybe he was going to change it.
“I’m going to retire finally and enjoy my life after thirty five years working here” he answered with a smile and Ohno widened his eyes. It was surprising that a person as his boss, who was dedicated to his company completely, was going to leave it so easily.
“Isn’t it painful to leave?” Satoshi was frowning. The boss only turned around, sighing.
“Not now that I know I will be free…” he said with an innocent smile and the employee left that office shocked. He could not understand that feeling. Being happy for stopping working. Was that possible? His life was work. What was more, he felt nervous when he was not working, he needed to have his mind occupied or he would not be able to be relaxed.
Suddenly, his name was spoken behind him and he turned around. “Tomorrow, your new boss will come. He's the CEO's son, so be nice with him, okay?” the old man announced and Satoshi nodded before turning around again and walked to his desk. He sighed, just the fact of being important in a company because he was the son of or relative of made Ohno be sick. For sure he was going to be stupid, arrogant and egocentric. Satoshi was dubious if that person deserved that high job, he would check it out tomorrow, though. Now it was time to go home and sleep to work more the next day.
His hands placed all his stuff into his black suitcase and took his blue jacket. He walked through the empty desks to cross a dark hallway. When he started there, it was pretty scary, but now it was even relaxing. He liked the loneliness, he loved being alone and in silence, no one could bother him. That was why he liked to be the last one to get out of there in part, to be alone during a while, just he and his work. It had become an habit already, he felt weird when he left the company earlier. It was like breaking his monotony and he hated that. He needed his schedule to be completed everyday because sudden things got him so anxious.
Then, he was going down in the elevator when it stopped and the doors were opened. He started to walk without looking up because the lace of one of his shoes was untied and abruptly, he crashed into someone. He fell backwards, his butt truly hurting and a man began to shout at him. “Can’t you be more careful?!” his voice was severe. Satoshi did not know what to say and he only stared at that man. He had messy, black hair, a round nose and thin lips. His suit was wrinkled and his shirt was opened on the neck. His tie was peeking out of his pocket and his phone dropped from it too. “Are you stupid? At least, apologize!” the man got up difficultly, the smell of alcohol was hard around him. Satoshi stood up quickly to bow and apologize lowly.
“I’m sorry” his words were lost and confused, why did he have to be the only one apologizing? But when his gaze went up, the man was inside of the elevator and he could not say anything else. Satoshi sighed, wondering why he should bear with drunk people even in the company. Then, he tied up the guilty lace and found that that impolite man had left his phone on the floor. If he was there at that hour, it was possible he worked in the company, so he just took the phone and decided to search for him tomorrow. He saved it in his pocket and walked to the parking to take his car and drive home.
He lived near so the path was short. Slowly, he parked the car in the garage and got out to enter the house. A chalet with two floors, in a rich neighborhood, three rooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a garage. A small garden behind should be added in the list, but also a little room he had in the second floor he occupied to do his hobby. Painting. His wife never came inside because she hated it, it was useless for her, so Satoshi only painted when she was not in home or she would start to complain. He avoided any type of argument with her, that was the real useless thing there.
Then, just wanting to eat a bit of food and go to sleep, he went upstairs to enter the room and started to undress there. His wife was already sleeping in the bed, so he was quiet. Suddenly, a strong smell reached his nose, he stank. Satoshi decided to take a bath, a hot bath to forget a tough day. He filled the bathtub and got in. The shivers through his body, when the hot water surrounded his skin, felt so good he sighed with a shy smile on his face. Ohno only needed a little break to be able to continue the next day. Everything felt better when he was alone. When he did his daily tasks alone.
Suddenly, a weird music started to sound and he frowned, not knowing which that strident sound was. Behind him, the door was opened and Satoshi turned around to find his wife with sleepy eyes and a phone in her hand. That was the one that man let drop. Ohno caught it to pick it up and answer, maybe the person knew how to return it.
“Kazunari! Where are you?! You left me alone again!” that man seemed angry for some reason and Satoshi decided to answer before he could be scolded.
“I'm sorry, the owner of this phone lost it, if you can contact him, I will return it gladly” Ohno said politely, he could assure that the other person was truly bothered by that man. He was not surprised, though.
“Eh? Did that idiot lose his phone? I'm sorry about that! I will tell him, thank you” he seemed softer and Satoshi hang up, sighing. That situation was a bit stupid, and he hated it. Then his gaze looked up to find his wife there.
“Who was? A bit late to call, don't you think?” she seemed annoyed by it and she had the right to be, after all it was truly late to wake someone up.
“I’m sorry, this phone is not mine, a drunk person dropped it in the company. Go back to the bed, I will go soon” he said while catching her hand and approaching her to the bathtub. He stood up to kiss her, but as always she turned around violently.
“I told you not to be naked in front of me, we've just gotten married” she complained flushed and Ohno laughed, getting out of the bathtub.
“After almost a year, you're still saying that” he caught a towel to dry his body quickly and tie it around his waist. “I’m covered already” he spoke lovely and his wife turned around with a shy smile. They hugged and finally, kissed too. Just in moments like those, he noticed how he loved her, the reasons why he married her, which sometimes disappeared suddenly.
They had been friends for a long time, until she proposed to him one day and they started to go out. Five years after, they were getting married surrounded by a hundred of people. Everything seemed perfect and they started to live together. With that, their relationship changed. It was hard to live together. They were always fighting and she scolded him by everything. It was like she was pushing him too much to do what she wanted, that was why Satoshi usually stayed in the company longer than needed, he wanted that peace a bit more. Even if he only thought while looking at the nowhere, he desired to return to those moments when they were a couple or even friends because all they had seemed as broken. But then, when they shared the same bed, Satoshi liked watching her sleeping or hugging her during the night. That feeling of protecting her from the world was still there, inside of him and Ohno wondered why it was so hard to remember sometimes.
*****
He caught his briefcase to go downstairs quickly, he had slept too much and now he was late. Then, his wife came out of the kitchen to give him his bento and a peck. Ohno rushed to put his shoes and ran to get in the car. That day, the new boss was going to be announced and he did not want to cause a bad impression. Ohno drove as fast as he could and just one minute before the arriving hour, he was entering the building. As always, he greeted everyone there, he was truly known by every employee. Remembering the scene of yesterday, he took the elevator to go to his floor and ran to reach his desk as soon as possible, noticing that the CEO was talking with someone, unluckily the second person was turning him his back. Was he truly his son? Satoshi was reticent to think he was going to do a good job.
Then, he left the things on his desk and heard how the CEO called them all to approach. Everyone was already surrounding them and Satoshi searched for a little space to see who the new boss was. He raised his look and his eyes were widened. That face… he was unrecognizable. His hair was perfectly treated, his face showed a smirk combined with two superb eyes, that suit he was wearing was expensive and probably new. Satoshi licked his lips, noticing for first time that he was handsome. Last night, he just looked a homeless, how could he be the CEO's son, but also his new boss? Ohno was staring at him completely shocked. That was bad, maybe he was already hating him because of what had happened, he truly seemed angry…
“Good morning, everyone. I'm Ninomiya Kazunari, your new boss. I will be occupying Hanazawa's place from now on so nice to meet you all” he greeted them with a warm voice and their coworkers started to applaud politely. Ohno joined them, still doubting what he should do when Ninomiya noticed him. Maybe the phone was a good excuse to know if he remembered last night's crash. Then, Kazunari was bowing with a smile and looking around, so suddenly, their gazes met and the boss frowned before opening his mouth. Satoshi gulped and bowed as saying that he remembered yesterday. Even with that, Kazunari did not say anything and kept explaining the new functioning of their section, but sincerely, Ohno was in other world, wondering how he should approach him about his phone. Somehow, he felt nervous.
After ending the presentation meeting, every employee went to their own desks, Satoshi included. However, the husky voice of his new boss surprised him. “Hey, you, come to my office” when Ohno turned around, he found Kazunari looking at him with cold eyes and two fingers moving as going to him. Ohno nodded and joined him to be alone in their office. He felt so awkward there. So lost and vulnerable. “Your name?” he sounded rude as he was ordering some papers from his desk. It was weird because he did not sit down on his chair.
“Ohno Satoshi, boss” his words trembled and Kazunari raised his amused gaze with a smirk. He changed the weight of his body to his left leg and tilted a bit his head, his hair showing his pale skin from his forehead. Satoshi sighed to relax himself and take a better position in front of that penetrating gaze. He seemed as enjoying that.
“I’m sorry for last night” he suddenly spoke. “I think I drank too much and well… being the boss is not easy” he surrounded the desk to be just in front of Ohno, leaning a bit on the edge of the wood. Satoshi was hating that behaviour as egocentric person who had gotten everything for being the son of.
“How can you know if you haven't started?” his mouth spat that without thinking. What the hell was he doing? Inside of him, he was panicking, just expecting a ‘you are fired' reply. But his face kept cold. His shoulders were tense and he could feel his skin sweating, unluckily, he rejected the idea to lower his gaze in front of a being as him.
“Just bearing with all your thoughts of ‘he's the son, he doesn’t know even to add and subtract', I'm already having a hard time” he crossed his arms and his face became serious. Satoshi raised his eyebrows, wondering how he could know that. “You think it, huh? Well, I don't blame you” he sighed. “But sorting me out before even knowing my name… That's a bit superficial” Ninomiya said with a disappointed expression. Ohno could not reply, he got the whole point, his mind was blank and finally, his gaze was lowered in front of him. Somehow, just because of that light annotation, he got his respect too.
“I’m sorry, I will be more careful in the future” the employee bowed, trying to get a forgiveness by his boss. But Ninomiya only chuckled while rubbing his eyes.
“How much dignity can you lose just because a boss is scolding you?” nothing was fine with him. Everything he did was wrong, there was always a bad commentary about his acts. Ohno looked at him lost and confused. What was wrong with him? He started to think already that he was hating him. Because otherwise, there was no other explanation.
“I'm not losing my dignity, I'm just accepting my guilt about prejudging you before knowing how your work is” he tried to explain his acts, maybe like that his boss would understand and would stop that nonsense of attacks. He felt powerless when he had to shut up.
“It’s fine, it's fine. I hope this won’t be an obstacle to build a great work environment” he smiled again. Was he bipolar or just stupid? Why was Ohno so angry? He never got angry that easily, why with him yes? But he swallowed all that anger to show his fake smile and nod.
“I hope so too” he replied as he wanted, fake, challenging. Was he obligated to be like that from now on? He had no problem, but a brat as Ninomiya would not overcome him.
“Then, that's all, you can go to work” he ended the chat and turned around to sit on his chair and open his laptop. Satoshi bowed and searched for the exit, but when he was grabbing the door handle, his mind remembered the phone and he came back to tell him.
“Ah! Excuse me, last night you lost your phone when we crashed” he informed the boss and the latter raised his look worriedly.
“Do you have it?” his voice was anxious and Satoshi nodded, not understanding anything. “Return it to me, please” Ninomiya seemed as nervous and impatient. Ohno frowned, but followed his orders.
“I have it in my briefcase, wait a minute, please” he said and came out to take the phone. Everyone was looking at him, maybe waiting an explanation about why he had been in his office that long, but he was already more worried because he was not finding that stupid phone. Maybe he had left it on his house, after all, his wife had found it and for sure it had been left somewhere instead of in his briefcase to take it that day with him. He was praying that Ninomiya would not be angry.
He retuned with his hands empty and looked at his boss, half embarrassed, half troubled. “I’ve forgotten it in my house, I can take-“
“Would you mind if I accompany you to take it after work?” he seemed as truly needing his phone and after all, he did not mind it at all. So he accepted without a problem. “Thank you, let's meet at 7 pm on the hall” he said and the employee replied with a yes. Just then, when his boss returned to the laptop, he noticed he was wearing glasses. It suited him really well, but also, he worked completely focused as if he really knew how to do it without a problem. Maybe he was wrong after all. He sighed and came out of the office with a bittersweet taste. He should be more careful…
*****
He looked at the clock and it was just 7 pm. He was waiting in the hall, looking around to see if his boss approached him. He was somehow nervous, he never took his boss with him to his house. His wife never knew much about his work either. He did not want her to know also. Just for one thing she did not control yet, he wanted to keep it like that a while more. Then, while sighing because of those thoughts, he found Kazunari walking to him handsomely. He did not seem as the same person as yesterday at all. He wondered how much he had drunk to be like that.
Without talking too much, they headed to Satoshi's car, a normal one, just not so expensive, in a blue tone. Kazunari came in without a doubt and the path was in silence. They both did not seem as talkative as that morning and Satoshi was happy about that, he would not handle another conversation as the last. Mostly because the day had been tough and he was in a bad mood and tired. His sleepy eyes were focused on the road, not even glancing at his boss. But so deep inside he would like to turn around and stare at him a few seconds. So, when he had to stop the car because the light was red, his eyes glanced at Ninomiya slowly, finding a man leaned on the window while watching the nowhere, his eyes were lost in the night city. And that truly suited him.
Then, suddenly the boss turned around to discover him and his hand pointed outside of the car. “It’s green” those words made him wake up and continue driving under an embarrassing atmosphere. He was stupid, but also he had given his boss reasons to make fun of him. “Are you this weird everyday or just today?” he asked and Satoshi sighed. He had messed up again that good moment beside him without having to bear with his poisoned tongue.
“I don't take my boss to my home everyday” he wanted to have a point there, to shut him up for just once, but as always Ninomiya had something to say. Satoshi truly hated that type of people who always needed to say the last word.
“As if I were important…” he muttered while rubbing his eyes and kept silent the rest of the path. Ohno just left it like that, why should he continue if he knew it would not have an end? He was too tired to argue with that person.
Before he expected, they reached the garage and they both walked to the main door of the house. He opened it with his keys and came in, followed by a silent Kazunari. “Wait here, I will bring you the phone” he was removing his shoes when a slender body appeared through the hallway.
“Welcome home, dear” she said in a whisper when she found his boss there. Ohno only stood up to peck her lips and went to search for the phone. Meanwhile, he could hear how they two started to talk. “Good night, I'm his wife, Nakamura Yoko” she was as always trying to know everything. That it was normal, presenting herself to an unknown her husband had just brought, but Satoshi preferred that it would not happen.
“Nice to meet you, I'm Ninomiya Kazunari, your husband's new boss” his voice was warm and nice. What was that? Show her his face too, for sure she was going to win him. Satoshi smirked amusedly. If they two fought, it would be the end of the world.
“Oh, and excuse me but why did he bring you here?” his wife as always trying to know even the last detail. And Satoshi knew that she was going to make him allow Ninomiya to keep with them and have dinner as long as he was his boss, but Ohno had the perfect excuse.
“Yesterday, I dropped my phone and luckily, your husband found it” he explained briefly, omitting the details he wanted and Ohno sighed while finding it in the bathroom. He should be more careful. Then, he headed to the hall.
“Oh, that phone, last night someone called and it woke me up” she laughed falsely and Ohno raised an eyebrow. His gaze turned to Kazunari who seemed as worried.
“Did someone call?” his voice was anxious and Ohno nodded while giving him that bloody phone.
“Yes, I suppose he was a friend because he was complaining about being alone or something alike” he said not giving it importance and his eyes saw how Kazunari smiled relieved.
“Ah, yeah, yeah, just a friend, also thank you by the way, I will let you rest now” he bowed and turned around to exit the house. Satoshi was wondering if that would be as easy as that, but of course his wife hit his arm. He knew perfectly what she meant, but he turned to go to the kitchen, he was hungry. Then, being so horribly stubborn, Satoshi heard how his wife spoke that bloody question he was trying to avoid.
“Ninomiya, why don't you have dinner with us? It's already late and after all, I did too much food for us” she smiled nicely and his boss seemed as lost. Ohno sighed while brushing his eyes, it was clear that Kazunari just wanted to return home as soon as possible.
“I truly don't want to disturb you more, I've already caused troubles to your husband” he spoke, maybe for first time being sincere and Ohno kept staring at him. It was weird to see that bright in his eyes. Perhaps he was happy about that invitation. No, that was impossible. A rich person as him would not like a few rice balls with miso soup and fried fish.
“It’s completely fine! C'mon, you will enjoy it” his wife took a pair of slippers and invited him with a warm smile. Ohno could know that she felt Kazunari’s innocence by far too. So he went to the kitchen and started to prepare the seat for his boss.
“Thank you, really” his boss seemed happy and looked at the food with excitement. What was wrong there? Satoshi was lost about Ninomiya, so cold and egocentric in the company, but so ordinary and naïve in his house. Somehow he could not get that person, not at all, and he knew his boss only for twenty four hours.
“Don't worry, it's so nice to have dinner while not being alone” his wife answered after leaving the hot rice balls on the table and sitting beside Ohno. Ninomiya caught one and tasted it, he looked as a little kid enjoying something new.
“So delicious…” he smiled. “But don't you usually have dinner with Ohno?” he asked doubtfully. Satoshi only took a rice ball and ate it in silence. He did not want to hear anything there. He would leave them talking all they want and he would sleep after that.
“No, he's always working and working… It's a miracle he has arrived today so soon!” she laughed as not caring about it, but he knew how sad she was about it. He knew he was selfish for doing that, she was his wife after all, but his nature was being alone and that was severely broken by her. So even if he felt bad, it was the only way to get his needed space.
“Ohno, you are so stupid really. Keeping on working when your beautiful wife is waiting for you here…” he said while taking his miso soup and Satoshi raised his gaze. So there he was yet. Those poisoned comments were still inside of him. So that was how he could trust him. Nothing.
“Oh, Ninomiya, do you have wife? Or even a girlfriend? You talk like if you already have” she started to do the typical, private questions which nobody needed to know. Except her of course. Satoshi only let her do, maybe Kazunari would end up fed up soon and would go away in a brief while.
“No, I'm single unluckily” he smiled modestly and his wife continued doing exaggerated reactions. Since when was she like that?
“Your future girlfriend is going to be so lucky! So young and you're already wanting a partner!” Yoko was excited for a reason Satoshi truly ignored.
“Excuse me, but how old do you think I am?” Kazunari seemed embarrassed and Satoshi showed his gaze lost.
“You're still a brat, right?” Ohno raised an eyebrow.
“I'm twenty eight years old” he laughed. What? Kazunari was even older than Ohno himself? That was impossible, if his face was like a teenager and his behaviour like a kid.
“Oh! Your skin is so perfect! I'm so jealous” his wife complained and Satoshi stood up to take the sake already, he wanted not to hear anymore.
“Don’t be jealous because your skin is one of the best ones I've ever seen in a woman” he smiled widely and Ohno frowned. Was he flirting with Yoko? Was he stupid? His wife only flushed and kept in silence suddenly. What was wrong with them?
“Ninomiya, do you want sake?” Satoshi asked, regretting the fact of not having poison near.
“Oh, yes thanks, but just a bit” he spoke troubled. Ohno did not take his words into consideration and fulfilled his whole glass.
“I truly like men who can drink sake” his wife added that useless comment in the middle of their chat and Ohno opened his mouth as not knowing what to do. In front of a guest, he could not scold her, much less in front of his boss, but she was crossing a limit he was hating.
Ninomiya drank it in one swallow and his face was painful, how stupid was he? He truly wanted to punch him. But to know he was going to win and his boss would not remember anything, he opted for getting him drunk so Ohno filled his glass again. “No, no, it's not needed” Ninomiya said after getting another swallow of sake. Ohno knew that he would seem so impolite if he did not drink it so once more he filled it. It was so funny to see how that man's cheeks were already flushed because of the alcohol and how his eyes seemed as not focusing on anything. He decided to stop, if Kazunari was so drunk, he would end up being a bother for him.
He left the bottle on the table and his wife caught it to serve his glass. Satoshi drank it even if he was horribly angry with her. They would talk after. His eyes kept on his wife, trying to know why she had done that, but Yoko only smiled at him back. Which was her game? He was so lost. Ohno sighed, trying to calm down, but when he raised his gaze, he found a totally drunk man moving weirdly. “Boss, do you feel well?” Satoshi asked worried, maybe the sake hurt him or maybe he was feeling bad.
“Better than never, Satoshi!” his voice was high-pitched and his moves were careless and slow. He was bloody drunk. Why? He had just taken a bit. “Well… Indeed I need to pee… Where is…?” he tried to know where the bathroom was and Satoshi indicated him. Ninomiya seemed as not understanding what he had said at all.
“Accompany him” his wife whispered him.
“Why should I?!” Satoshi whispered her back angrily. Suddenly, Kazunari stood up and had to lean on the wall hard.
“Because of that!” his wife pointed it out and Satoshi stood up.
“And why don't you do it if you two get along too well?” Ohno reproached her and his wife kept in silence while he was helping Kazunari to reach the bathroom. The boss hugged his neck with one arm and Ohno held his waist to walk straight until the door. Before leaving him alone, the employee warned him.
“Pee while sitting down, I don't want you to stain the whole room” his voice was severe and tired. Ninomiya only laughed and nodded before closing the door. He waited for him outside, wondering why he was so drank already. It was not normal. Ninomiya was not a normal person. And Ohno only wanted to sleep because he had to work so early the next day.
Abruptly, the door was opened and a man tried to get out so fast that he lost his balance and Ohno caught him before he fell. He was not as despicable as letting him hurt himself. Mostly when he had been the one who had gotten him drunk. Ninomiya only wrapped his arms around his neck while their faces were so close and Satoshi stared at little details for first time, like how hazel his eyes were, or how good he smelt, or how thin his upper lip was. Kazunari smiled stupidly while approaching. Ohno froze and did not move when that sleepy man rested his head on his shoulder.
“Hey, Sho, sorry for always bothering you like this… You're a good friend…” he muttered serious and Satoshi frowned. He supposed that Sho was a friend of his, so he only looked around to find his wife observing them.
“What should I do with him?” he asked while observing Yoko's face and she was disturbed. Why?
“Carry him upstairs and prepare him the futon there, he can’t arrive at his house like that” she said a bit bothered. Satoshi did not know why she was like that with him so suddenly, when before they were flirting so nicely. The bothered one there should be Ohno, who had to see how her wife was staring at other man. Also, somehow he thought about karma. He wanted him to go away as soon as possible and because he had given him so much alcohol, now he would stay all the night. See? Satoshi was convinced that keeping in the office working was much better than all of that. He was already stressed, Satoshi did not need more reasons to want to give up on everything, because he was at the edge already, and he did not want to fall. Not yet.
Slowly, he got to make Ninomiya go upstairs and let him sitting on the floor while he was opening the closet and catching the futon. He did not want to say a word, mostly because he was hating that arrogant man as never before. Ohno was tired but instead, he had to prepare a bloody futon for his stupid boss. What was he doing wrong in his life to deserve that? He sighed, trying to avoid those thoughts not to get worse and he approached his boss. “C’mon, you have to sleep” he spoke while taking his boss by his armpits and pulled him until the futon. That man was not doing a glimpse of strength at all. What was more, when he looked at his face, he was giggling.
“Satoshi!” he called his employee loudly. Ohno only frowned because it was so late to be shouting. Suddenly, his drunken face was changed to a challenging one. “Undress me, Satoshi” his voice became sensually and the man just lay down, placing his arms over his head, letting the shirt go up and show his belly. When Ohno glanced at his pale skin, he noticed a problem between his legs also. He widened his eyes. Not because a man was excited in front of his eyes, but because he was getting hot with that view too. What was wrong with him?! He shook his head, maybe he was already tired and also, he did not spend a proper night with his wife for a long time. It was normal that reaction, it was his body after all.
Ohno decided to approach and start to untie the buttons of his shirt and he could see how his nipples were protruding from the white fabric. Why was he so excited? The alcohol, he was 99% sure. And that 1% left? Well, Ohno did not know the truth… Or at least that was the excuse he thought of. His hands continued until opening it and he found a built torso, two marked pectorals and the abdominals in process. He was sexy because his body was also thin and he had a few moles, which made it cute. What was he looking at? He removed it and went to open the belt and the fly to lower his trousers. His eyes wanted to look at his crotch, but he impeded it with so much will-power. Instead of that, he placed the clothes on the little desk near the futon and when he turned around, he found a man touching himself hard. Satoshi could not help but staring at that hand moving fast on that hard member. Was alcohol able to do that in a person? Somehow he doubted it.
Full of rage and embarrassment, he caught a wipe from his pocket and he threw it on his torso. Ninomiya only took it with his free hand before arching his back, moaning deeply and the boss ejaculated on his belly. Satoshi was pale in front of that man. Had he just seen his boss cumming? Then, Ninomiya opened his eyes and smiled at Ohno. “Just in time, thanks” spoke he while raising the wipe. Satoshi walked to the door to go outside of that room and wonder what had just happened in front of his eyes. That was completely surrealistic and he was in shock yet.
He was pretty erotic and… sexy…
His mind was doing circles in the same direction. No. He was not gay. He did not like men. He only liked women. And he was going to show it, to prove it to himself. He went to the bedroom and searched for his wife, who was already going to the bed. He hugged her, kissing and sucking her neck. His hands touched several parts of her body, but he felt her so tense. “What’s wrong with you?” she said hastily, turning around. He knew he had to be soft and sweet with her, because Yoko did not like the hard type, when he always desired to do it naughtily and hard.
“It's just that we haven’t spent a night together this month and…” he approached again to her, softer this time. And she only wrapped her arms around his neck. They started a kiss and his hands again went down to touch her butt and crash their bodies. But she stopped disturbed again.
“I told you I don't like someone touching my butt and less rubbing that on my body” she put a disgusting grimace and Satoshi felt how his lust was decreasing considerably, noticing slowly how she was the main reason why they only used that bed to sleep. Ohno got tired and only got undressed to lie down on the bed to sleep. He heard how his wife sighed and approached him. “If you did the things correctly, I wouldn’t mind to make love as much as you want” she reproached him and that did not help. However, a thin woman was placed a bit over him, while kissing his lips. They rolled in the bed and he started to do all she liked. Only like that they would do it smoothly and without complains.
But that idea was still bothering him and somehow, he was unable to turn himself on again and his wife never did anything to help him. Then, the abrupt view of Kazunari touching himself came to his mind and that heat inside of him appeared again so strongly. He was hating it, however, Ohno only could continue like that. And that was not the proof he wanted after all.

Summary:: Ohno Satoshi was a normal employee in a normal office of a normal company, having a normal life with a normal wife. Until one day, his old boss had to be replaced by the CEO's son. Then, Ohno never thought his normal life could be that chaotic just because that person wanted something more than a normal employee/boss relationship with him.
His eyes hurt because of the laptop’s screen, he thought that maybe the glasses would help, but as always it was too many hours working in front of numerous documents and numbers. His head was so tired and he only wanted to end that horrible day, that horrible week. Unluckily, he stayed more there because he did not want to reach home yet. His boss was used to see him working until being the last one going home, but he was concerned too about his health. His life was dedicated to work. And to his wife too. Working a long shift to return home and being with his wife. That would sound pretty good if he felt relaxed with her, but the only thing he wanted was peace and loneliness, exactly what she did not give him.
His wife was always asking him about his work, about his coworkers, about the late hours, about what he had done, and it was fine, sometimes he wanted to talk with her. However, she was stressing him much more when she drove him crazy at the evenings. That was why he stayed in the company even if he did not have work enough, he wanted to hear the silence and sigh alone. Less that day. The light of his boss's office was still on and that was weird because his boss was always on time to meet his wife after work. He would love to have someone waiting for him outside who he wanted to go with and spend hours together. That was impossible with his wife.
Then, as if he knew something was wrong, he stood up and walked beside his desk, hitting with his hand the plate with his name written on it and making it fall on the floor. The sound was too loud in the middle of the silence and he closed his eyes, hating himself inwardly. His hand was stretched to catch it and his eyes read the three kanji on it.
大野 智 (Ohno Satoshi)
“Ohno Satoshi, what are you aiming for in your life?” he asked himself aloud and sighed. He put it on the desk again and headed to the office slowly. His knuckles knocked on the door slightly and a gentle voice let him come inside. Satoshi bowed after opening the door and finding his boss saving all his stuff into boxes. He frowned deeply, what did it mean?
“You’re still here, right?” his boss smiled tiredly. “You’re so young yet, how old…?” he stopped to think.
“Twenty six, boss” he reminded the old man in front of his eyes.
“See? So young to be wasting all this time working” Satoshi looked down knowing that he was right, but after all his life could not offer him more options than working or being in home.
“I want to reach someday the chance to be boss” Ohno confessed with that fluffy face of his. The old man chuckled and approached him to pat his shoulder.
“Boy, it's good to have dreams, but don't ruin your life. Go out, meet friends, laugh, be happy. You have an amazing wife, try a trip with her, don't forget her” his boss stroked his shoulder and continued saving things in boxes. Satoshi observed him in silence, he was thinking about his words. His wife did not mean not to ruin his life, maybe marrying her killed his chances for a successful life.
“And why are you putting your stuff in boxes, boss?” he asked curious about it. Would they fix the office? Or maybe he was going to change it.
“I’m going to retire finally and enjoy my life after thirty five years working here” he answered with a smile and Ohno widened his eyes. It was surprising that a person as his boss, who was dedicated to his company completely, was going to leave it so easily.
“Isn’t it painful to leave?” Satoshi was frowning. The boss only turned around, sighing.
“Not now that I know I will be free…” he said with an innocent smile and the employee left that office shocked. He could not understand that feeling. Being happy for stopping working. Was that possible? His life was work. What was more, he felt nervous when he was not working, he needed to have his mind occupied or he would not be able to be relaxed.
Suddenly, his name was spoken behind him and he turned around. “Tomorrow, your new boss will come. He's the CEO's son, so be nice with him, okay?” the old man announced and Satoshi nodded before turning around again and walked to his desk. He sighed, just the fact of being important in a company because he was the son of or relative of made Ohno be sick. For sure he was going to be stupid, arrogant and egocentric. Satoshi was dubious if that person deserved that high job, he would check it out tomorrow, though. Now it was time to go home and sleep to work more the next day.
His hands placed all his stuff into his black suitcase and took his blue jacket. He walked through the empty desks to cross a dark hallway. When he started there, it was pretty scary, but now it was even relaxing. He liked the loneliness, he loved being alone and in silence, no one could bother him. That was why he liked to be the last one to get out of there in part, to be alone during a while, just he and his work. It had become an habit already, he felt weird when he left the company earlier. It was like breaking his monotony and he hated that. He needed his schedule to be completed everyday because sudden things got him so anxious.
Then, he was going down in the elevator when it stopped and the doors were opened. He started to walk without looking up because the lace of one of his shoes was untied and abruptly, he crashed into someone. He fell backwards, his butt truly hurting and a man began to shout at him. “Can’t you be more careful?!” his voice was severe. Satoshi did not know what to say and he only stared at that man. He had messy, black hair, a round nose and thin lips. His suit was wrinkled and his shirt was opened on the neck. His tie was peeking out of his pocket and his phone dropped from it too. “Are you stupid? At least, apologize!” the man got up difficultly, the smell of alcohol was hard around him. Satoshi stood up quickly to bow and apologize lowly.
“I’m sorry” his words were lost and confused, why did he have to be the only one apologizing? But when his gaze went up, the man was inside of the elevator and he could not say anything else. Satoshi sighed, wondering why he should bear with drunk people even in the company. Then, he tied up the guilty lace and found that that impolite man had left his phone on the floor. If he was there at that hour, it was possible he worked in the company, so he just took the phone and decided to search for him tomorrow. He saved it in his pocket and walked to the parking to take his car and drive home.
He lived near so the path was short. Slowly, he parked the car in the garage and got out to enter the house. A chalet with two floors, in a rich neighborhood, three rooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a garage. A small garden behind should be added in the list, but also a little room he had in the second floor he occupied to do his hobby. Painting. His wife never came inside because she hated it, it was useless for her, so Satoshi only painted when she was not in home or she would start to complain. He avoided any type of argument with her, that was the real useless thing there.
Then, just wanting to eat a bit of food and go to sleep, he went upstairs to enter the room and started to undress there. His wife was already sleeping in the bed, so he was quiet. Suddenly, a strong smell reached his nose, he stank. Satoshi decided to take a bath, a hot bath to forget a tough day. He filled the bathtub and got in. The shivers through his body, when the hot water surrounded his skin, felt so good he sighed with a shy smile on his face. Ohno only needed a little break to be able to continue the next day. Everything felt better when he was alone. When he did his daily tasks alone.
Suddenly, a weird music started to sound and he frowned, not knowing which that strident sound was. Behind him, the door was opened and Satoshi turned around to find his wife with sleepy eyes and a phone in her hand. That was the one that man let drop. Ohno caught it to pick it up and answer, maybe the person knew how to return it.
“Kazunari! Where are you?! You left me alone again!” that man seemed angry for some reason and Satoshi decided to answer before he could be scolded.
“I'm sorry, the owner of this phone lost it, if you can contact him, I will return it gladly” Ohno said politely, he could assure that the other person was truly bothered by that man. He was not surprised, though.
“Eh? Did that idiot lose his phone? I'm sorry about that! I will tell him, thank you” he seemed softer and Satoshi hang up, sighing. That situation was a bit stupid, and he hated it. Then his gaze looked up to find his wife there.
“Who was? A bit late to call, don't you think?” she seemed annoyed by it and she had the right to be, after all it was truly late to wake someone up.
“I’m sorry, this phone is not mine, a drunk person dropped it in the company. Go back to the bed, I will go soon” he said while catching her hand and approaching her to the bathtub. He stood up to kiss her, but as always she turned around violently.
“I told you not to be naked in front of me, we've just gotten married” she complained flushed and Ohno laughed, getting out of the bathtub.
“After almost a year, you're still saying that” he caught a towel to dry his body quickly and tie it around his waist. “I’m covered already” he spoke lovely and his wife turned around with a shy smile. They hugged and finally, kissed too. Just in moments like those, he noticed how he loved her, the reasons why he married her, which sometimes disappeared suddenly.
They had been friends for a long time, until she proposed to him one day and they started to go out. Five years after, they were getting married surrounded by a hundred of people. Everything seemed perfect and they started to live together. With that, their relationship changed. It was hard to live together. They were always fighting and she scolded him by everything. It was like she was pushing him too much to do what she wanted, that was why Satoshi usually stayed in the company longer than needed, he wanted that peace a bit more. Even if he only thought while looking at the nowhere, he desired to return to those moments when they were a couple or even friends because all they had seemed as broken. But then, when they shared the same bed, Satoshi liked watching her sleeping or hugging her during the night. That feeling of protecting her from the world was still there, inside of him and Ohno wondered why it was so hard to remember sometimes.
*****
He caught his briefcase to go downstairs quickly, he had slept too much and now he was late. Then, his wife came out of the kitchen to give him his bento and a peck. Ohno rushed to put his shoes and ran to get in the car. That day, the new boss was going to be announced and he did not want to cause a bad impression. Ohno drove as fast as he could and just one minute before the arriving hour, he was entering the building. As always, he greeted everyone there, he was truly known by every employee. Remembering the scene of yesterday, he took the elevator to go to his floor and ran to reach his desk as soon as possible, noticing that the CEO was talking with someone, unluckily the second person was turning him his back. Was he truly his son? Satoshi was reticent to think he was going to do a good job.
Then, he left the things on his desk and heard how the CEO called them all to approach. Everyone was already surrounding them and Satoshi searched for a little space to see who the new boss was. He raised his look and his eyes were widened. That face… he was unrecognizable. His hair was perfectly treated, his face showed a smirk combined with two superb eyes, that suit he was wearing was expensive and probably new. Satoshi licked his lips, noticing for first time that he was handsome. Last night, he just looked a homeless, how could he be the CEO's son, but also his new boss? Ohno was staring at him completely shocked. That was bad, maybe he was already hating him because of what had happened, he truly seemed angry…
“Good morning, everyone. I'm Ninomiya Kazunari, your new boss. I will be occupying Hanazawa's place from now on so nice to meet you all” he greeted them with a warm voice and their coworkers started to applaud politely. Ohno joined them, still doubting what he should do when Ninomiya noticed him. Maybe the phone was a good excuse to know if he remembered last night's crash. Then, Kazunari was bowing with a smile and looking around, so suddenly, their gazes met and the boss frowned before opening his mouth. Satoshi gulped and bowed as saying that he remembered yesterday. Even with that, Kazunari did not say anything and kept explaining the new functioning of their section, but sincerely, Ohno was in other world, wondering how he should approach him about his phone. Somehow, he felt nervous.
After ending the presentation meeting, every employee went to their own desks, Satoshi included. However, the husky voice of his new boss surprised him. “Hey, you, come to my office” when Ohno turned around, he found Kazunari looking at him with cold eyes and two fingers moving as going to him. Ohno nodded and joined him to be alone in their office. He felt so awkward there. So lost and vulnerable. “Your name?” he sounded rude as he was ordering some papers from his desk. It was weird because he did not sit down on his chair.
“Ohno Satoshi, boss” his words trembled and Kazunari raised his amused gaze with a smirk. He changed the weight of his body to his left leg and tilted a bit his head, his hair showing his pale skin from his forehead. Satoshi sighed to relax himself and take a better position in front of that penetrating gaze. He seemed as enjoying that.
“I’m sorry for last night” he suddenly spoke. “I think I drank too much and well… being the boss is not easy” he surrounded the desk to be just in front of Ohno, leaning a bit on the edge of the wood. Satoshi was hating that behaviour as egocentric person who had gotten everything for being the son of.
“How can you know if you haven't started?” his mouth spat that without thinking. What the hell was he doing? Inside of him, he was panicking, just expecting a ‘you are fired' reply. But his face kept cold. His shoulders were tense and he could feel his skin sweating, unluckily, he rejected the idea to lower his gaze in front of a being as him.
“Just bearing with all your thoughts of ‘he's the son, he doesn’t know even to add and subtract', I'm already having a hard time” he crossed his arms and his face became serious. Satoshi raised his eyebrows, wondering how he could know that. “You think it, huh? Well, I don't blame you” he sighed. “But sorting me out before even knowing my name… That's a bit superficial” Ninomiya said with a disappointed expression. Ohno could not reply, he got the whole point, his mind was blank and finally, his gaze was lowered in front of him. Somehow, just because of that light annotation, he got his respect too.
“I’m sorry, I will be more careful in the future” the employee bowed, trying to get a forgiveness by his boss. But Ninomiya only chuckled while rubbing his eyes.
“How much dignity can you lose just because a boss is scolding you?” nothing was fine with him. Everything he did was wrong, there was always a bad commentary about his acts. Ohno looked at him lost and confused. What was wrong with him? He started to think already that he was hating him. Because otherwise, there was no other explanation.
“I'm not losing my dignity, I'm just accepting my guilt about prejudging you before knowing how your work is” he tried to explain his acts, maybe like that his boss would understand and would stop that nonsense of attacks. He felt powerless when he had to shut up.
“It’s fine, it's fine. I hope this won’t be an obstacle to build a great work environment” he smiled again. Was he bipolar or just stupid? Why was Ohno so angry? He never got angry that easily, why with him yes? But he swallowed all that anger to show his fake smile and nod.
“I hope so too” he replied as he wanted, fake, challenging. Was he obligated to be like that from now on? He had no problem, but a brat as Ninomiya would not overcome him.
“Then, that's all, you can go to work” he ended the chat and turned around to sit on his chair and open his laptop. Satoshi bowed and searched for the exit, but when he was grabbing the door handle, his mind remembered the phone and he came back to tell him.
“Ah! Excuse me, last night you lost your phone when we crashed” he informed the boss and the latter raised his look worriedly.
“Do you have it?” his voice was anxious and Satoshi nodded, not understanding anything. “Return it to me, please” Ninomiya seemed as nervous and impatient. Ohno frowned, but followed his orders.
“I have it in my briefcase, wait a minute, please” he said and came out to take the phone. Everyone was looking at him, maybe waiting an explanation about why he had been in his office that long, but he was already more worried because he was not finding that stupid phone. Maybe he had left it on his house, after all, his wife had found it and for sure it had been left somewhere instead of in his briefcase to take it that day with him. He was praying that Ninomiya would not be angry.
He retuned with his hands empty and looked at his boss, half embarrassed, half troubled. “I’ve forgotten it in my house, I can take-“
“Would you mind if I accompany you to take it after work?” he seemed as truly needing his phone and after all, he did not mind it at all. So he accepted without a problem. “Thank you, let's meet at 7 pm on the hall” he said and the employee replied with a yes. Just then, when his boss returned to the laptop, he noticed he was wearing glasses. It suited him really well, but also, he worked completely focused as if he really knew how to do it without a problem. Maybe he was wrong after all. He sighed and came out of the office with a bittersweet taste. He should be more careful…
*****
He looked at the clock and it was just 7 pm. He was waiting in the hall, looking around to see if his boss approached him. He was somehow nervous, he never took his boss with him to his house. His wife never knew much about his work either. He did not want her to know also. Just for one thing she did not control yet, he wanted to keep it like that a while more. Then, while sighing because of those thoughts, he found Kazunari walking to him handsomely. He did not seem as the same person as yesterday at all. He wondered how much he had drunk to be like that.
Without talking too much, they headed to Satoshi's car, a normal one, just not so expensive, in a blue tone. Kazunari came in without a doubt and the path was in silence. They both did not seem as talkative as that morning and Satoshi was happy about that, he would not handle another conversation as the last. Mostly because the day had been tough and he was in a bad mood and tired. His sleepy eyes were focused on the road, not even glancing at his boss. But so deep inside he would like to turn around and stare at him a few seconds. So, when he had to stop the car because the light was red, his eyes glanced at Ninomiya slowly, finding a man leaned on the window while watching the nowhere, his eyes were lost in the night city. And that truly suited him.
Then, suddenly the boss turned around to discover him and his hand pointed outside of the car. “It’s green” those words made him wake up and continue driving under an embarrassing atmosphere. He was stupid, but also he had given his boss reasons to make fun of him. “Are you this weird everyday or just today?” he asked and Satoshi sighed. He had messed up again that good moment beside him without having to bear with his poisoned tongue.
“I don't take my boss to my home everyday” he wanted to have a point there, to shut him up for just once, but as always Ninomiya had something to say. Satoshi truly hated that type of people who always needed to say the last word.
“As if I were important…” he muttered while rubbing his eyes and kept silent the rest of the path. Ohno just left it like that, why should he continue if he knew it would not have an end? He was too tired to argue with that person.
Before he expected, they reached the garage and they both walked to the main door of the house. He opened it with his keys and came in, followed by a silent Kazunari. “Wait here, I will bring you the phone” he was removing his shoes when a slender body appeared through the hallway.
“Welcome home, dear” she said in a whisper when she found his boss there. Ohno only stood up to peck her lips and went to search for the phone. Meanwhile, he could hear how they two started to talk. “Good night, I'm his wife, Nakamura Yoko” she was as always trying to know everything. That it was normal, presenting herself to an unknown her husband had just brought, but Satoshi preferred that it would not happen.
“Nice to meet you, I'm Ninomiya Kazunari, your husband's new boss” his voice was warm and nice. What was that? Show her his face too, for sure she was going to win him. Satoshi smirked amusedly. If they two fought, it would be the end of the world.
“Oh, and excuse me but why did he bring you here?” his wife as always trying to know even the last detail. And Satoshi knew that she was going to make him allow Ninomiya to keep with them and have dinner as long as he was his boss, but Ohno had the perfect excuse.
“Yesterday, I dropped my phone and luckily, your husband found it” he explained briefly, omitting the details he wanted and Ohno sighed while finding it in the bathroom. He should be more careful. Then, he headed to the hall.
“Oh, that phone, last night someone called and it woke me up” she laughed falsely and Ohno raised an eyebrow. His gaze turned to Kazunari who seemed as worried.
“Did someone call?” his voice was anxious and Ohno nodded while giving him that bloody phone.
“Yes, I suppose he was a friend because he was complaining about being alone or something alike” he said not giving it importance and his eyes saw how Kazunari smiled relieved.
“Ah, yeah, yeah, just a friend, also thank you by the way, I will let you rest now” he bowed and turned around to exit the house. Satoshi was wondering if that would be as easy as that, but of course his wife hit his arm. He knew perfectly what she meant, but he turned to go to the kitchen, he was hungry. Then, being so horribly stubborn, Satoshi heard how his wife spoke that bloody question he was trying to avoid.
“Ninomiya, why don't you have dinner with us? It's already late and after all, I did too much food for us” she smiled nicely and his boss seemed as lost. Ohno sighed while brushing his eyes, it was clear that Kazunari just wanted to return home as soon as possible.
“I truly don't want to disturb you more, I've already caused troubles to your husband” he spoke, maybe for first time being sincere and Ohno kept staring at him. It was weird to see that bright in his eyes. Perhaps he was happy about that invitation. No, that was impossible. A rich person as him would not like a few rice balls with miso soup and fried fish.
“It’s completely fine! C'mon, you will enjoy it” his wife took a pair of slippers and invited him with a warm smile. Ohno could know that she felt Kazunari’s innocence by far too. So he went to the kitchen and started to prepare the seat for his boss.
“Thank you, really” his boss seemed happy and looked at the food with excitement. What was wrong there? Satoshi was lost about Ninomiya, so cold and egocentric in the company, but so ordinary and naïve in his house. Somehow he could not get that person, not at all, and he knew his boss only for twenty four hours.
“Don't worry, it's so nice to have dinner while not being alone” his wife answered after leaving the hot rice balls on the table and sitting beside Ohno. Ninomiya caught one and tasted it, he looked as a little kid enjoying something new.
“So delicious…” he smiled. “But don't you usually have dinner with Ohno?” he asked doubtfully. Satoshi only took a rice ball and ate it in silence. He did not want to hear anything there. He would leave them talking all they want and he would sleep after that.
“No, he's always working and working… It's a miracle he has arrived today so soon!” she laughed as not caring about it, but he knew how sad she was about it. He knew he was selfish for doing that, she was his wife after all, but his nature was being alone and that was severely broken by her. So even if he felt bad, it was the only way to get his needed space.
“Ohno, you are so stupid really. Keeping on working when your beautiful wife is waiting for you here…” he said while taking his miso soup and Satoshi raised his gaze. So there he was yet. Those poisoned comments were still inside of him. So that was how he could trust him. Nothing.
“Oh, Ninomiya, do you have wife? Or even a girlfriend? You talk like if you already have” she started to do the typical, private questions which nobody needed to know. Except her of course. Satoshi only let her do, maybe Kazunari would end up fed up soon and would go away in a brief while.
“No, I'm single unluckily” he smiled modestly and his wife continued doing exaggerated reactions. Since when was she like that?
“Your future girlfriend is going to be so lucky! So young and you're already wanting a partner!” Yoko was excited for a reason Satoshi truly ignored.
“Excuse me, but how old do you think I am?” Kazunari seemed embarrassed and Satoshi showed his gaze lost.
“You're still a brat, right?” Ohno raised an eyebrow.
“I'm twenty eight years old” he laughed. What? Kazunari was even older than Ohno himself? That was impossible, if his face was like a teenager and his behaviour like a kid.
“Oh! Your skin is so perfect! I'm so jealous” his wife complained and Satoshi stood up to take the sake already, he wanted not to hear anymore.
“Don’t be jealous because your skin is one of the best ones I've ever seen in a woman” he smiled widely and Ohno frowned. Was he flirting with Yoko? Was he stupid? His wife only flushed and kept in silence suddenly. What was wrong with them?
“Ninomiya, do you want sake?” Satoshi asked, regretting the fact of not having poison near.
“Oh, yes thanks, but just a bit” he spoke troubled. Ohno did not take his words into consideration and fulfilled his whole glass.
“I truly like men who can drink sake” his wife added that useless comment in the middle of their chat and Ohno opened his mouth as not knowing what to do. In front of a guest, he could not scold her, much less in front of his boss, but she was crossing a limit he was hating.
Ninomiya drank it in one swallow and his face was painful, how stupid was he? He truly wanted to punch him. But to know he was going to win and his boss would not remember anything, he opted for getting him drunk so Ohno filled his glass again. “No, no, it's not needed” Ninomiya said after getting another swallow of sake. Ohno knew that he would seem so impolite if he did not drink it so once more he filled it. It was so funny to see how that man's cheeks were already flushed because of the alcohol and how his eyes seemed as not focusing on anything. He decided to stop, if Kazunari was so drunk, he would end up being a bother for him.
He left the bottle on the table and his wife caught it to serve his glass. Satoshi drank it even if he was horribly angry with her. They would talk after. His eyes kept on his wife, trying to know why she had done that, but Yoko only smiled at him back. Which was her game? He was so lost. Ohno sighed, trying to calm down, but when he raised his gaze, he found a totally drunk man moving weirdly. “Boss, do you feel well?” Satoshi asked worried, maybe the sake hurt him or maybe he was feeling bad.
“Better than never, Satoshi!” his voice was high-pitched and his moves were careless and slow. He was bloody drunk. Why? He had just taken a bit. “Well… Indeed I need to pee… Where is…?” he tried to know where the bathroom was and Satoshi indicated him. Ninomiya seemed as not understanding what he had said at all.
“Accompany him” his wife whispered him.
“Why should I?!” Satoshi whispered her back angrily. Suddenly, Kazunari stood up and had to lean on the wall hard.
“Because of that!” his wife pointed it out and Satoshi stood up.
“And why don't you do it if you two get along too well?” Ohno reproached her and his wife kept in silence while he was helping Kazunari to reach the bathroom. The boss hugged his neck with one arm and Ohno held his waist to walk straight until the door. Before leaving him alone, the employee warned him.
“Pee while sitting down, I don't want you to stain the whole room” his voice was severe and tired. Ninomiya only laughed and nodded before closing the door. He waited for him outside, wondering why he was so drank already. It was not normal. Ninomiya was not a normal person. And Ohno only wanted to sleep because he had to work so early the next day.
Abruptly, the door was opened and a man tried to get out so fast that he lost his balance and Ohno caught him before he fell. He was not as despicable as letting him hurt himself. Mostly when he had been the one who had gotten him drunk. Ninomiya only wrapped his arms around his neck while their faces were so close and Satoshi stared at little details for first time, like how hazel his eyes were, or how good he smelt, or how thin his upper lip was. Kazunari smiled stupidly while approaching. Ohno froze and did not move when that sleepy man rested his head on his shoulder.
“Hey, Sho, sorry for always bothering you like this… You're a good friend…” he muttered serious and Satoshi frowned. He supposed that Sho was a friend of his, so he only looked around to find his wife observing them.
“What should I do with him?” he asked while observing Yoko's face and she was disturbed. Why?
“Carry him upstairs and prepare him the futon there, he can’t arrive at his house like that” she said a bit bothered. Satoshi did not know why she was like that with him so suddenly, when before they were flirting so nicely. The bothered one there should be Ohno, who had to see how her wife was staring at other man. Also, somehow he thought about karma. He wanted him to go away as soon as possible and because he had given him so much alcohol, now he would stay all the night. See? Satoshi was convinced that keeping in the office working was much better than all of that. He was already stressed, Satoshi did not need more reasons to want to give up on everything, because he was at the edge already, and he did not want to fall. Not yet.
Slowly, he got to make Ninomiya go upstairs and let him sitting on the floor while he was opening the closet and catching the futon. He did not want to say a word, mostly because he was hating that arrogant man as never before. Ohno was tired but instead, he had to prepare a bloody futon for his stupid boss. What was he doing wrong in his life to deserve that? He sighed, trying to avoid those thoughts not to get worse and he approached his boss. “C’mon, you have to sleep” he spoke while taking his boss by his armpits and pulled him until the futon. That man was not doing a glimpse of strength at all. What was more, when he looked at his face, he was giggling.
“Satoshi!” he called his employee loudly. Ohno only frowned because it was so late to be shouting. Suddenly, his drunken face was changed to a challenging one. “Undress me, Satoshi” his voice became sensually and the man just lay down, placing his arms over his head, letting the shirt go up and show his belly. When Ohno glanced at his pale skin, he noticed a problem between his legs also. He widened his eyes. Not because a man was excited in front of his eyes, but because he was getting hot with that view too. What was wrong with him?! He shook his head, maybe he was already tired and also, he did not spend a proper night with his wife for a long time. It was normal that reaction, it was his body after all.
Ohno decided to approach and start to untie the buttons of his shirt and he could see how his nipples were protruding from the white fabric. Why was he so excited? The alcohol, he was 99% sure. And that 1% left? Well, Ohno did not know the truth… Or at least that was the excuse he thought of. His hands continued until opening it and he found a built torso, two marked pectorals and the abdominals in process. He was sexy because his body was also thin and he had a few moles, which made it cute. What was he looking at? He removed it and went to open the belt and the fly to lower his trousers. His eyes wanted to look at his crotch, but he impeded it with so much will-power. Instead of that, he placed the clothes on the little desk near the futon and when he turned around, he found a man touching himself hard. Satoshi could not help but staring at that hand moving fast on that hard member. Was alcohol able to do that in a person? Somehow he doubted it.
Full of rage and embarrassment, he caught a wipe from his pocket and he threw it on his torso. Ninomiya only took it with his free hand before arching his back, moaning deeply and the boss ejaculated on his belly. Satoshi was pale in front of that man. Had he just seen his boss cumming? Then, Ninomiya opened his eyes and smiled at Ohno. “Just in time, thanks” spoke he while raising the wipe. Satoshi walked to the door to go outside of that room and wonder what had just happened in front of his eyes. That was completely surrealistic and he was in shock yet.
He was pretty erotic and… sexy…
His mind was doing circles in the same direction. No. He was not gay. He did not like men. He only liked women. And he was going to show it, to prove it to himself. He went to the bedroom and searched for his wife, who was already going to the bed. He hugged her, kissing and sucking her neck. His hands touched several parts of her body, but he felt her so tense. “What’s wrong with you?” she said hastily, turning around. He knew he had to be soft and sweet with her, because Yoko did not like the hard type, when he always desired to do it naughtily and hard.
“It's just that we haven’t spent a night together this month and…” he approached again to her, softer this time. And she only wrapped her arms around his neck. They started a kiss and his hands again went down to touch her butt and crash their bodies. But she stopped disturbed again.
“I told you I don't like someone touching my butt and less rubbing that on my body” she put a disgusting grimace and Satoshi felt how his lust was decreasing considerably, noticing slowly how she was the main reason why they only used that bed to sleep. Ohno got tired and only got undressed to lie down on the bed to sleep. He heard how his wife sighed and approached him. “If you did the things correctly, I wouldn’t mind to make love as much as you want” she reproached him and that did not help. However, a thin woman was placed a bit over him, while kissing his lips. They rolled in the bed and he started to do all she liked. Only like that they would do it smoothly and without complains.
But that idea was still bothering him and somehow, he was unable to turn himself on again and his wife never did anything to help him. Then, the abrupt view of Kazunari touching himself came to his mind and that heat inside of him appeared again so strongly. He was hating it, however, Ohno only could continue like that. And that was not the proof he wanted after all.
//I'm back :D
After having worked on this fic more than half a year, I can finally release it with a lot of excitement and hopes you will like this. I never thought this stupid idea could become this monster of fic (it's long. Truly long), so somehow it became one of my favourite ones! Well, maybe the first chapter is a bit shocking, but give it another try 🍀
This is actually going to be updated every Tuesday, but if I see you truly like it and the support is great, I may update it on Fridays too.
Having said this, I'm so glad to have come back and bye ^~^
