Jun was never the type to allow his feelings to take over him.
He always believed that he was one who thought over
everything carefully, always believed that he had carefully
analysed the situation before making any move.
So he absolutely could not understand what had made him
kiss Nino on his cheek that day. It might have been because
of the bad coffee he had drunk that morning. Or it might have
been due to the lack of sleep lately. He thought through it all
night, considering all possibilities, then ruling them all out
again, wondering, pondering, but still could not come up with
any answer.
"Sho?"
"Jun? Why are you calling me at 4am in the morning?"
"I need some answers."
There was a slight, awkward pause.
".. Is it because of the kiss?"
"Uh-yea."
"I think you better think through it yourself."
It had been after the recording of that week's Shukudai-kun.
The recording had ended earlier than usual, and so the rest of
them stayed in the dressing room for a little while longer than
usual, chatting, laughing, smiling, fooling around. Nino, as
usual, was sitting on Ohno’s lap, Aiba and Sho sat on a sofa,
and Jun sat directly opposite them.
“..And you know, the girl leaned in, and their faces were only
inches away, and I got very nervous, so I grabbed Sho-chan’s
hands..”
Sho smacked Aiba’s head lightly. “You don’t have to go so
much into detail, stupid.”
“But because of that, I missed that scene. It was apparently
so touching that Sho-chan was tearing a little..”
“What! I DID NOT TEAR!”
“Yes you did! Sho-chan, I want to watch the movie again..”
“What for?! Just to watch that scene!?”
Aiba nodded. “Of course! The ending is the most important!”
“Then why didn’t you watch it in the first place!”
“Because I was nervous!”
Then Aiba suddenly stopped. Sho looked at him, puzzled.
“I forgot that Arashi has two very prominent actors! Come on,
Jun will be the male lead, and Nino the female. Nino, I can’t
help it that you look feminine.”
---------------------------------------------
“So, like this?” Nino’s face was only a few centimetres away
from Jun’s face.
“Oi, it’s supposed to me inches, not centimetres.”
Aiba shrugged. “It’s the same.”
Jun could see Nino’s face clearly. That was obvious, of
course, considering the closeness of their faces. But there
were a few points that Jun had never noticed about Nino, like
how messy Nino’s fringe was and how clear his eyes were.
And then all of a sudden, Jun just leaned forward and kissed
Nino’s cheeks.
“NO NO NO Jun! He did not kiss her cheeks; he kissed her on
her lips! Well actually I don’t know, but I’m sure he did,
because if he didn’t, that wouldn’t be a good ending, because
-“
“That’s enough, Aiba Masaki, you and your ideas-“
“But Sho-chan!”
Nino stared blankly at Jun, his expression unreadable. Then
he moved back to Ohno’s lap. Ohno patted Nino’s head, and
the rest of them went back to talking just as before, as if
nothing had happened. Jun felt dazed, and confused beyond
comprehension.
---------------------------------------------
A few hours after his phone call with Sho, Jun went to prepare
for work. It was still early, but he wanted to settle things once
and for all with Nino. He still couldn’t quite understand what
had happened to him, but he wanted to talk with Nino. He had
to. He needed answers.
He walked along the quiet corridors, bag slung over his
shoulders. No one was here yet, he decided. Not even the
juniors. He was about to walk in to the dressing room when he
heard a few noises.
“Nino, I have something to tell you.”
“Mmm?”
Jun could hear the faint sound of Nino tapping on his DS.
“Put down your game for a while?”
To Jun’s surprise, the tapping stopped straight away. Nino
never stopped his game for anyone.
“Yes Oh-chan?”
“I-I love you.”
There was a short silence, and Jun felt a sudden strange
feeling inside him. It was rather suffocating, but Jun was sure
there wasn’t any problem with his health, he had been taking
care of himself very well, ate his vegetables and drank at least
a litre of water each day. So what could explain this
suffocation? This ache in his head? This painful lump in his
throat?
“Y-you don’t need to feel the same for me. I just felt that I had
to tell-“
“Oh-chan, I love you too.”
Jun suddenly felt shut out from the world. He was unable to
hear anything, and the suffocating feeling increased, the lump
in his throat proceeded to make him tear, the aching in his
head never ceased. He didn’t understand what was happening
to him, he couldn’t comprehend what was making him feel
this way. He leaned against the wall,
Someone tapped his shoulder, and he looked up.
Sho?
Sho hugged him.
“I’m sorry you had to learn the hard way.”
Jun stood there, numb.
“It’s okay, at least I got my answer.”
