*A/N:
OKAY! Here it is~~ ^.^
I know, this is a very short chap *shame*
Demo i wouldn't say it's boring, ne?
SO. For those of you who skipped over the R rated bit last time, all you'll really need to know is that they Did have sex, and afterwards Ohno was upset about it, because he thinks the only reason why Nino has been sort of "coming on" to him since they broke up is because he Wants an only physical relationship with him. (Which he does not...) But Ohno just wants to be close to him, so he went along with it.
And also, this chappie is three days after Chapter 6, no more in the past scenes ^.^

Three Days Later:
“You did what?!” Jun’s eyes bulged, and he jumped away from Nino in shock. “Nino I know this is tough for you but seriously? You agreed to it?!”
“No!” Nino hissed through his teeth, running a hand through his hair and glancing around the empty break room. “No I didn’t exactly agree, I couldn’t get a word in and… I just… fuck, I’m such an idiot…”
Jun nodded, one eyebrow raised and his arms folded sternly across his chest. “Nino… You have to tell him; you can’t go along with this, just think about it from Ohno’s point of view… No wonder he thinks you only want that kind of relationship! Jesus...” He sighed and rubbed at his eyes, sitting back down on the couch and putting a hand on Nino’s slumped shoulder.
“I know… I know, and if I could take it all back I would, but I can’t… I just don’t know how I’m going to tell him, I’ve been lying to him for months now!” Nino groaned and leaned against Jun’s comforting side, his eyes closed and hands curled into fists in his lap. “And telling him might only make things worse, he’s going to hate me…”
Jun ran his fingers through Nino’s hair, massaging his scalp absentmindedly as he thought. “Well you fucked up. Bad. And honestly if I was Ohno I wouldn’t forgive you after what you did…”
Nino cringed against his t-shirt, feeling his stomach doing back flips at the thought. “I don’t expect him to forgive me… It’s unfair to keep lying to him like this.” He took a deep breath through his nose and let it out in a sigh, guilt pulling at him from all sides. “The longer I wait the worse it will be...”
“Eh…?”
Jun stiffened and Nino froze, his eyes snapping open to find Ohno standing in the doorway, his eyes wide.
“Ohno-”
“-Nino…” He said slowly, taking a step toward them but stopping, the uncertain smile sliding from his face. “What are you talking about…?”
“I-” Nino spluttered, standing as his heart nearly exploded into high-speed. “Ohno… I-we need to talk about some things…”
“What ‘things’?” Ohno looked from Nino to Jun, who had stood as well, biting on his lip and wringing his hands nervously. “…Nino?”
“Well…” Nino tilted his head slightly, his eyes glued to the floor. “Ohno I haven’t… I haven’t been telling you the whole truth lately… But I couldn’t, I thought it was protecting you but-but it wasn’t, it only hurt you more and I feel terrible and I know it was wrong!” He blurt out, taking a step toward him and putting his hands on his arms gently.
Ohno’s brow creased and he opened his mouth but closed it again before frowning at Nino.
“Johnny-san found out… about us.” Nino winced and closed his eyes for a moment before continuing. “He found out and told me if we… if I didn’t end it, then he’d ruin our careers and split Arashi up… I had no choice Oh-chan…”
Silence.
“What?” Ohno gasped, suddenly out of breath. “Nino… what are you talking about?”
“I lied to you Oh-chan…” He whispered and let his hands fall to his sides. “I lied about everything, because I thought it would be easier for you…”
Ohno sucked in a shaky breath and stumbled back a few steps. “Why?” Tears built up and spilled over his lashes, and his lip began to tremble as Nino shook his head slightly and looked away. “Why did you-” He broke off and ducked his head before swallowing hard and looking back up, his eyes shining with hurt. “How could you lie to me like that?!”
“Ohno…” Jun said softly, taking a step forward but stopping abruptly as Ohno’s gaze landed on him, his eyes accusing.
“Jun-kun,” His voice broke and tears fell like rain but he continued. “Jun-kun you knew about this?!”
Jun nodded silently, and Ohno shook his head, taking another step back. “How-” He stopped and shook his head, his eyes flickering up to Nino’s.
“Ohno… I’m sorry.” He whispered, a lump forming painfully in his throat and he took a few steps toward the older man. “I didn’t mean to hurt you, but I thought it would be better if you could get over me as soon-”
The sharp sting of Ohno’s hand against his cheek stopped him mid-sentence and he stumbled to regain his balance, looking up at Ohno’s tear-filled glare in shock.
“How could you?” He hissed through sobs and he clenched his jaw bitterly. “Don’t-touch me!” He pulled away as Nino tried to comfort him. “I don’t… want to see you right now…”
“Jun,” He turned to the youngest member of Arashi and his gaze softened slightly. “Tell Aoki-san I’m sick, and I’m taking a week off starting today…”
And with that he turned and left the room, closing the door behind him and ignoring Nino’s desperate calls, echoing in his ear.

Painted red with all the lies
Of our old crimes…’
