Previous:  Chapter 1



Nino didn’t break his gaze from Ohno’s lips for what it seems like an eternity. How he wish he could nibble those lips. Instead, he bit his own lower lip, reminding himself not to.

“He’s far more beautiful in person than he was in the television…” Nino thought as his gaze scans Ohno’s form.

Nino let out a content sigh. There’s no more pain left in his body; none at all. Because Ohno is really here, with him. Nino gazes affectionately at the steady rhythm of Ohno’s chest. It’s very comforting to watch Ohno like this, Nino thought.

Nino lowers his head, pressing his left palm over his eyes as he let out a sigh, remembering that moment when Ohno smiled his beautiful crooked smile at him that night. His smile growing wider by the seconds as that said moment clouded his brain.

That smile was for Nino, and Nino only.

*****
 After the play ended, Nino went to the backstage, hoping to find Ohno. He determined to put all of his problem behind him. He’s tired of being confused and hurt all the time, and for someone that didn’t even know he was exists. After pondering the said matter for months, he finally came to a conclusion that the feeling he had for Ohno was probably just a mere fan-crush only, just like Jun said. Nino continued on walking, pretending that the same familiar aching pain in his heart didn’t hurt him much, whatsoever.

He was walking down the hall and was about to turn around at the corner when he accidently ran into another person in that hall. Nino managed to keep his balance but that person, slightly smaller than Nino, however the one who fell onto the floor.

Feeling guilty, Nino held out his hand, helping the man to stand up. The man took his hamburger hand and pulled himself up. Nino gasped and stared dumbfounded at the man in front of him for a few seconds before he finally remembered to breathe.

“Ha-Hajimemashite, I’m Ninomiya Kazunari and I-I’m a fan….y-you were amazing…..” Nino gushed.

The smaller man bowed slightly to Nino, “Thank you for coming to the play Ninomiya-kun.” Ohno smile widely, as if he were so damn thrilled to see Nino.

Nino blinked, dazed temporarily. “This guy….” Nino thought in amazement. This is their first time meeting, but Ohno smiled at him like Nino was his favourite person in the world.

Nino pressed his right hand on his chest, clenching the soft material that he was wearing. His heart was thumping so fast and so loud in his chest that he wondered if Ohno could hear it. The thought of this caused Nino to step back a few feet from where he stood.

“Ninomiya-kun, are you alright? You don’t look so good…” Ohno asked in a concern tone and absentmindedly put his hand on Nino’s right cheek. The innocent touch caused Nino to fidget and quickly shed away from it.

“I’m..I’m fine…” Nino managed to lie. This was too much for him. He didn’t know how long he could take it. He feared that the longer he stayed there, the higher the risks for him to do unmentionable stupid things to Ohno. And as much as he wanted to do it, he knew that he couldn’t, shouldn’t!

“Get the hell out of here Ninomiya!” a voice echoed in his head. “NOW!!”

“Ninomiya-kun?”

“I..I’m sorry…may-maybe I should leave….” Nino could hardly speak. He agreed. He really do need to leave this place, leaves Ohno.

Nino was about to make a run for it when Ohno had caught him by the wrist. He pulled Nino a bit closer to him. Nino tried to pull his wrist away but Ohno had gripped it tightly as if not wanting to let him go.

Nino’s breath was caught in his throat, the room was spinning and he couldn’t feel his legs. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to sort out his mind and keep his sanity in check. He then looked at Ohno. He could tell that Ohno was worried, it was written all over his face.

“I’m fine Ohno-san…really…” Nino finally breathed out. “I…I just want to go home…” he continued, from his tone Nino could tell that it sounds tired and defeated, even to him. And he truly wanted to go home, that’s the only place that Nino felt safe.

Upon hearing this, Ohno loosen his grip on Nino but he didn’t let him go just yet. He then sigh and looked at Nino’s sad brown eyes.

“At least let me send you to your car or something…” Ohno said softly. “If anything happens to you, I..I couldn’t forgive myself…”

“……Ehh?!” Nino stunned. He didn’t expect this at all. Why an idol like Ohno would be worried about him…a person he barely knew. Nino blinked a few time “You…you worry?”

“Yeah, why can’t I?” Ohno answered ingenuously. His gazed deeply into the brown eyes before him, eyes clouded with concern, and also with something, something else that Nino couldn’t point out.

Nino looked at Ohno, returning his gaze with a rather confuse one. They stayed like that only for a few precious minute when Nino the first one who broke it and shifted his gaze to the white floor beneath him.

“This is too much!” Nino thought. He pulled his wrist back slowly and this time Ohno complied.

Nino took another deep breath before he spoke, “It’s okay Ohno-san, I…I’ll be fine…” he continued, “Besides, you must be tired…you should go and rest-”

Ohno smiled and lightly tapping Nino on the forehead, “Daijoubu…I’m going for a walk anyway, so maybe-” before Ohno could finish his sentence, Nino had interrupted him.

“A walk? By yourself? But it’s dangerous Ohno-san!”

Ohno smiled, “Yeah, I like to take a walk at night…the cold night air somehow relaxes me…” He answered softly before continued, “And please…just call me Ohno, ‘Ohno-san’ sounds too formal ne?!” he laughed, the same laughter that Nino had fallen for years ago.

“Ahh~ h-hai…” Nino answered with a smile. Something inside of him started to bubble up, and somehow it lightened up his whole body. “You can just call me Nino then…”

“Ok, so Nino, shall we?” Ohno offered his hand to Nino. Nino looked at Ohno’s hand then to Ohno’s smiling face and back to Ohno’s hand.

“This is it Nino…” he thought. “This is it…” he repeated. He fully awared that he should just turn around and leave Ohno and his outstretched hand behind. But, he also knew that whichever choices he’ll make, whether to take Ohno’s hand or not, the outcome will be the same; he will be left heartbroken in the end.

Nino let out a heavy sigh, “So be it!” he thought after a few seconds.

Nino was about to reach out to Ohno’s hand when a familiar angry voice suddenly shouted at him. Or more likely inside of him.

“Don’t!!” the voice ordered. It was the same voice inside his head. “Don’t!” the voice repeated.

Nino ignored the voice and gently took Ohno’s hand in his. They both exchanged smile as Ohno pulled him along towards the exit. Nino slowly and willingly followed Ohno’s back, hand in hand and stealing few glances at him when he could.

“You will regret it Nino!!” the voice warned him.

Nino smiled to himself, despite the warning, he felt that he wanted this, this little moment with Ohno.

He looked at their intertwined hands, feeling the warm of Ohno’s hand, just savouring it while it lasted. He felt content at that moment, he didn’t care about the outcome of his action, he will deal with it later. But now, the only thing he wanted now is just to spend this short but amazingly precious moment with Ohno, the one who he sure he had completely fell for.

A small laugh escaped from Nino’s mouth. This made Ohno to turn his head to face him, looking puzzled. “What’s so funny?” he asked.

“Fufu~ nothing...it’s just that I can’t believe that I finally met you Ohno-san...” Nino answered. Ohno frowned when he heard the suffix. “Nino....” he said softly.

“Ah~ gomen nasai.” Nino smiled sheepishly, his free hand at the back of his head. “Ohno” he corrected. “I just can’t believe that I finally met you...” he repeated before continued “And I never imagine that our meeting will be like....this...” Nino’s gaze shifted to their still-intertwined hands. Ohno then followed Nino’s gaze and they both looked at their linked hands for a brief moment.

Ohno looked back at Nino, bewildered. “You don’t like to hold hands?”

“No, it’s not like that.” Nino tried to defend himself. “Holding hands are fine...” he mumbled, dropping his eyes to the floor.

“Then, do you want me to let go?” Hearing this, Nino’s head shot upward.

“NO!” he answered without thinking. Realizing what he had just blurted out, Nino looked down at his shoes, trying to concentrate on the pattern of the laces, keeping his head low, too embarrassed to look Ohno in the eyes.

“I mean…uhm..well…that is...” he gulped.

Nino suddenly stopped his blabbering when he felt Ohno tightening his grip on his hand. He watched Ohno’s soft feature in amazement when Ohno said, “Sure, I won’t let you go.”

It was universally natural for someone like Nino to have his heart beating so rapidly when he heard those six words, especially when it came from someone you love so much. And, it was also quite fair when Nino felt his head spinning, breathless and absentmindedly clung himself to Ohno’s arm for support.

Ohno hold Nino’s frame, gently, as if holding something fragile. “Nino?” he asked, concern filling his voice.

“I’m fine.” Nino grunted, mentally kicking himself for acting like a love sick girl, swooning for simple words like that. He couldn’t pass out here, not when he’s with Ohno. “Idiot!” he mentally cursed himself “What the hell is wrong with you?! Get a grip!”

Then, a small laugh could be heard coming from Ohno. Nino frowned. “What?”

“You’re weird Nino.” Ohno chuckled.

Just great, Nino thought. The most stunning person in all of Japan stands so close beside me, and he thinks I’m weird. Way to go Ninomiya, there goes your first impression. His eyes narrowed as a pout started to form without he even realized it. Ohno’s continue laughter aggravated Nino a bit, not with Ohno but more to himself actually. He scowled.

“Nino is cute.” Ohno said suddenly.

“Wh-what?!” Nino stammered. That comment takes Nino off guard, and he quickly whips his head around to face Ohno whose face somehow now only inches away from Nino’s. And at that precise moment, all of his breath got stuck in his throat as Ohno tilted his head to the side and smiled sweetly at him.

If anyone had seen them in that position, one might think that they were going to kiss. And that would turn out to be the most scandalous news in Japan, thus impairing Ohno’s reputation. We would not want that now do we?

“Nino is cute when he’s pouting,” Ohno smiled as he leaned back, away from the said lips.

Nino was aware that he should say something, anything but he just completely and utterly speechless. And no one can blame him really. Having Ohno so, so close to him just now certainly could alter his ability to form a coherent sentence. He just stared at him, dumbfounded.

“…and when you angry.” Ohno continued. That smile never left his face, but then it slowly vanished when Nino still didn’t say a single word. Or moved.

“Yo- you’re not mad at me, are you Nino?” he asked, a bit hesitant.

Nino didn’t move. Now, he really ought to say something. The guy was now giving him the pathetic puppy dog eyes. Begging to be love.

He blinked. Something rattled in his head. Puppy? he thought, puzzled. No, not a puppy. More like a-

“Poodle”

“Eh?”

“Huh, what?

“You just said ‘poodle’.”

Mortified. Did I just say that out loud?? Oh, crap.

Nino hesitated, biting his lower lip. “Uhm, let’s…let’s just… forget I ever said that okay?!” he patted Ohno’s shoulder nervously and was ready to leave.

With a quick step, Nino marched ahead, leaving Ohno behind. But before he could have gotten too far, a gentle hand grasped his arm, stopping Nino in his track.

“Nino” Ohno looked trouble, “are you mad at me or something?”

“Eh?! No, wh-why would I be?”

“It just that, a moment ago you looked like you were pissed off over something…and well-” he paused and then swallowed.

And after several seconds, “I’m sorry,” said Ohno softly.

Then they came into silence. Ohno was fidgeting, looking at Nino expectantly. Nino, however, was seeing the same poodle again.

The poodle, it had his ears low, and it’s eyes…oh that brown eyes was staring at him intently, as if trying to melt away all of Nino’s system. And damn, even if that was indeed it's evil main purpose then it was hell working because Nino did felt like he could melt there and then, under those pretty brown eyes.

Tenderness washed over Nino, and the need to hold the said poodle, cradling it in his arms, soothing it and protecting it had overwhelmed him and his longing heart.

Nino just standing there, staring into Ohno’s eyes, and ignoring the ache in his heart that started to creep back silently but was surely painful.

And at that moment, Nino wondered if maybe he should just give up on this, on Ohno. On everything.

Instead, he took a step forward and hugged Ohno.

Nino’s hands were wrapped around Ohno’s waist, pressing himself head-to-toe to him and laying his head on Ohno’s shoulder. He closed his eyes, inhaling the fragrant scent of Ohno, savouring the pleasant warmth as he held Ohno in his arms. He was completely and utterly content.

In the silence, Nino briefly wondered if this would be one more foolish mistake in his long list of mistakes.

"Fuck it!" Nino thought.
