Jun’s POV
Matsu looked up at the café wondering why the hell he was here. He knew it was a mistake, but he couldn’t stop himself. Taking a deep breath he pushed open the door, looking at the counter he saw Nino. Although he thought he was stupid he was positive his heart fluttered. He looked around and took the chair with the best view. Table 4D. He fidgeted with the menu for a little while thinking back to when he first met Nino.
It had been about a week ago outside of The Gates. He had arrived from the country a few weeks ago, hoping to make it big as an actor so far he had had a few minor roles in adverts but nothing that was going to make his name like he’d hoped. He heard about The Gates through a friend. In his home town he had repressed his sexuality so it was a big shock when he first saw two guys holding hands and a few more kissing each other.
“You got a problem kid?” A guy asked threateningly, pulling his lips away from another guy and glaring at him.
“Hey Toto-chan… You’re scaring the poor kid” A high pitched nasally voice said
“Nino, he with you?” ‘Toto’ asked and Matsu saw a small guy in dress in a really tight pair of jeans and a blue/grey top and Matsu’s felt his mouth almost fall open, god he’s cute, Matsu thought.
“He could be” The small guy said slurring slightly coming to stand beside Matsu.
“You should tell him not to stare”
“Yep, he could learn bad habits, come on kid” He said tugging Matsu’s arm and pulling him away “You really shouldn’t mess around with Toto-chan when he’s horny”
“I’ll remember that”
“Hmm… You’re not from around here” Nino said with a smile stopping against a wall.
“Does it show that much?”
“Just a little bit…” He said holding up his fingers to indicate ‘a little’ and then let out a giggle almost stumbling into the road before Matsu grabbed his arm and pulled him up. “Thanks hero, I think I’m a little smashed I should get a hold of Toma… If he doesn’t already have his lips around some guy’s dick” There was another loud giggle “Hey kid, you need to talk, come to this café and ask for ‘Nino’”
“That’s you?”
“Yep… Ninomiya Kazun-Nari” Nino hiccupped writing down the name of the café on Matsu’s arm in big untidy scribble with a pen that he’d pulled out of his pocket. After he finished he looked at it slightly cross eyed “I think I stole this from work” He mumbled laughing again and then pulled out his phone handing it to Matsu “Find Toma-chan’s number please”
Matsu did as he was told searching through the phone contacts that seemed to be in no set order. He eventually found the name Toma-chan and pressed dial before handing the phone back to Nino.
“Thanks” Nino slurred pressing the phone to his ear “Toma… Where are you? With Yamapi? Again, seriously he must be good ….I’m outside the club I’m taking a taxi… Yep, love you…” Nino ended the call and nearly dropped the phone before Matsu caught it and slipped it into Nino’s top pocket. “Thanks hero… Here a present…” He said throwing his arms around Matsu’s neck and pulling him into a long probing kiss.
It was his first time kissing a guy and it was better than anything he could have imagined. Nino moulded perfectly against him. The girls he had kissed were nothing like this, and he was almost gasping for breath when Nino pulled away licking his lips.
“First time kissing a guy?” He asked and Matsu nodded slowly. “Hmm, you need some work but I think you’ll do okay… Just stay away from guys like Toto, they’ll easily make you the bottom and you have serious potential as a top… I’d take you myself but I have the early shift tomorrow…” Nino kissed him again it was lighter this time and as he pulled away he whispered “Remember the café”
There was a beeping from a taxi and Nino walked off swaying slightly as he climbed into the taxi. Matsu watched him leave running a finger over his lips and seeing the writing on his arm. Smiling he decided to go back to his apartment and when he did he wrote the address down in his phone never really intending to use it
But he had and here he was sitting in table 4D, he knew that Nino noticed him and for one wild brief second he hoped that he remembered him more so when he came over instead of the girl who had stepped forwards.
"Can I take your order?"
“Coffee” Matsu said only just managing to get the word out, he really thought he was pathetic but there was something about the slutty waiter that made his inside’s wriggle. It was obvious that Nino didn’t recognise him though, but then again he hadn’t been sober when they had last met.
“Anything else?” Nino asked in the same nasally voice.
“Not now” Matsu muttered not knowing what else to say. He really did feel like idiot, he had come here without any idea how to act. Nino walked away to fetch the coffee and as hard as he tried Matsu couldn’t pull his eyes away. He really had hoped that Nino would have remembered him.
By now He knew Nino’s reputation, few people that went to The Gates didn’t but he also suspected that there was more to Nino that, or at least he wanted to believe that. Nino came back with his coffee and Matsu was about to say something but stop himself afraid that he would think he was a stalker or something. He simply took the coffee with a muttered ‘thanks’
Nino gave a nod and walked away. After that he came every day, work picked up but he still continued to go to the café. Before he realised it, it had been weeks and the only words that they had shared was Nino asking for his order and him saying ‘Coffee’. He saw him in The Gates sometimes, always with a different guy, but for some reason he didn’t want Nino to see him there. He didn’t want to be just another guy from The Gates.
Matsu looked up as Nino let out a loud laugh, it reminded him so much of that night. He was talking to another waiter, Ikuta Toma, it must have been the same Toma as that night on the phone. They looked really close, he thought bitterly wondering what they were talking about.
Weeks turned into months and Months turned into a year but he still hadn’t been able to talk to him. The longer things went on the less he could say ‘Oh hey I guess you don’t remember me?’ but he couldn’t stop coming to see him.
It had been over a year since he had first seen Nino when he first met Aiba, he was sat in his normal table when someone other than Nino came towards him.
“Isn’t Nino here today?” Matsu asked before he could stop himself
“He’s on a later shift… I’m Aiba Masaki…”
“Nice to meet you” Matsu said thinking about leaving, if Nino wasn’t here there really wasn’t much point in drinking the bad coffee.
“You’re interested in Nino-chan?” Aiba asked his smile dropping “Why… For a quick fuck or…”
“No” Matsu denied quickly, he had been coming here for close to a year there was no way he just wanted a quick fuck. “He saved me when I first came here a year ago… He gave me the address to this place…”
“He told you where he works?” Aiba mumbled thoughtfully “And you’ve been coming here to see him?”
“Yeah… He was pretty out of it then though…” Matsu admitted wondering if Aiba would think he was creepy. He wouldn’t blame him, he thought he was creepy coming here for a year just so he could see Nino.
“This sounds fun!” Aiba said clapping his hands excitedly “How about we make a deal?”
