TITLE: 僕の宝物 1/?
PAIRING: Aiba Masaki/Ninomiya Kazunari
RATING: G
LENGTH: 480 words
A/N: Set after 2012.12.16 Tokyo Dome Popcorn concert and based on Nino's birthday message to Aiba :)
After their final concert for the year Aiba suggested that they all go out for drinks ("We can go to Ginza like Oh-chan wanted!") to celebrate the tour's success and to thank them all for the pleasant birthday surprise he had received that night. Unfortunately, Sho had to rush to a News ZERO broadcast and excused himself quickly, apologising profusely the entire way.
When Aiba turned to the remaining members to ask if they were still up for drinks, it was Jun who spoke first. "Sorry Aiba-chan, I have some stuff to do for Lucky Seven tonight…"
Aiba nodded in understanding and proceeded to ask Ohno, but before the tanned man could speak, Jun butted in. "Satoshi has plans too."
"I do-?" Ohno blurted, bewildered. Aiba raised an eyebrow but Jun was quick to sling his arm over their leader's shoulder, reminding the older man that "You said you'd help me, remember? With the Lucky Seven thing."
Ohno's face remained blank as ever, his brows furrowing slightly as he tried to understand just what on earth Jun was talking about. Though his efforts came to no avail he decided to go with the flow and refuse Aiba's invitation, just in case he really had promised Jun to help him with something and had just forgotten. He didn't want to be breaking any promises.
"Ahhh the thing... Sorry Aiba-chan, I gotta go!" he mumbled.
"Great work tonight guys!" Jun added before turning them on their heels and waving goodbye.
Aiba nodded, dismissing the pair half-heartedly, missing the wink the youngest member threw in Nino's direction. As the sound of the other members' footsteps faded, Aiba once again found himself alone with Nino, who at that moment seemed very intent on readjusting the strap of his side-slung bag. He was looking unnecessarily shy, fiddling with his strap as if he had been caught doing something he wasn't supposed to be doing. It was the same look he had on his face every time he was caught staring at him, and Aiba could only think it was absolutely adorable.
"Aiba-shi,
Happy birthday.
It's been over 15 years since we've met, hasn't it?
We've been together for over half our lives, haven't we?
How's that! Aren't you happy?
Seriously speaking, people who have been around in my life for that long... apart from my family, there's only you.
To someone like me who doesn't have many friends, you are precious.
You are important.
Here's to many more years~
Happy birthday.
-Ninomiya Kazunari"
The VTR message replayed itself in his mind.
"I guess it's just us tonight then… Shall we go?" Aiba asked, flashing Nino a bright smile which sent blood rushing to the younger man's ears. He stuck out his hand, offering it to the other man. Nino accepted it abashedly, feeling Aiba's long fingers entwine perfectly with and envelop his own.
"Your place or mine?"

A/N: This was seriously the sweetest message, Nino >< Hmm...to be continued...? Yes! ---> Part Two
