Chapter 2:
Jun smiled. The sun shined today, the sea was beautiful and calm. A perfect weather. He joined the boat where one of his best friends was waiting for him.
"Hey, Jun-pon, very good weather to dive!" The man exclaimed with a big smile.
"Yes, perfect, I hope fishes will be there!" Jun answered while he climbed on the boat.
"You take your bottles today or just your mask and your flippers?"
"Mask and flippers, maybe Hinata will come," Jun smiled, hopefully.
Aiba started the boat and drove them to their favorite place. He stopped it, casted the anchor and gave the material to Jun. The young man sat on the edge of the platform, put his mask on before turning toward his friend.
"Are you sure you don't want to join me?" he asked.
"I can't, I've a sinusitis, it's dangerous if I dive," Aiba pouted, sadly.
"Ok, I come back in 30 minutes," Jun said before diving into the water.
"I bet you'll come back in 4 hours, as always, Mr-addict-of-the-sea," Aiba smiled to himself.
He knew Jun since they were three years old and Jun already loved the ocean and swimming all day long at the time. He was like a fish, he needed to be in his element. With time, Aiba learned to love diving too and both left during many hours to swim with fishes and dolphins. But there was one difference between them. Jun lived for the sea and diving. He could hold his breath during 15 minutes and Aiba only for 5. The older was very envious of Jun's ability, but at the same time, happy with knowing the sea was Jun's life.
After 45 minutes, he smiled. As always, Jun didn't see the time while he was swimming. He sat down patiently and grabbed a book.
Jun was diving into his world. He swung his flippers and arrived toward a cavity. The sun played on the stones and the coral, giving wonderful colors, red, yellow, blue and green. Delicately, to not damage the environment, he grabbed the stones and started to go down, his head toward the bottom of the ocean. Jun looked at the shells in the stone's holes, played with the little fishes and suddenly, stopped. In a hole, there was a moray. He put his gloves and swam toward the animal that was looking at him with curious eyes. Jun smiled and moved in front of it. She opened and closed its mouth, showing signs of fear. Jun stayed static, waiting for the animal and after a few minutes, the moray went out of the hole, curious. The young man smiled and moved on top of the animal, holding out his hand. The moray approached and touched it with the tip of her mouth. After a while, she moved, undulating its long body. She was very beautiful. The sun shined on its yellow and green figure. She seemed to dance with the water and Jun joined her to swim together. They seemed in a perfect communion, their bodies playing with the sea. A wild animal and a human. No need to understand, if one spoke the language of the sea, one spoke the animal's language, one understood it. Some curious fishes joined them to swim all together, to dance an amazing ballet. In those moments, Jun felt as if he was an animal too. After a while, he went out to the surface to breathe. He looked at his diving computer. He dived at 15 meters during ten minutes, it wasn't much. He took a deep breath and dived again. Suddenly, he heard a scream and smiled. A familiar scream. Jun stopped and waited. A black form arrived quickly toward him. Hinata was there. The dolphin screamed, happily and Jun grabbed his fin while the animal began to swim. They played together, Hinata jumping outside of the sea. The dolphin allowed Jun to take his fins and they made acrobatics during an eternity. Matsu looked at his computer and decided with regret to join his friend. The young diver climbed on the boat, exhausted. He took his flippers and wetsuit off and grabbed a towel.
"Two hours, I had bet four," Aiba smirked.
"Sorry, Masaki, I saw Hinata," Jun apologized.
"Don't be, I would do the same, can we go home, now?"
"Yes."
Aiba started the boat and they saw Hinata who jumped to say goodbye, making them laugh.
"How was it?" Aiba asked, curious.
"Wonderful! I swam with a beautiful moray and some fishes joined us, the colors were amazing!" Jun grinned happily.
"You're so lucky, I wanted to dive too," Aiba whined.
"In few days," Jun comforted his best friend.
They stopped the boat and walked to their car. Jun started it and drove them to their apartment. They lived together part time. Aiba was in love with Sho, their friend, but the newscaster was very busy and often left the town for his work during a few days and sometimes even a few weeks. Masaki didn't like to be alone and that's why, when his lover was traveling, he was living in Jun's apartment. He had his old student bedroom from when his best friend and him were roommates before Aiba moved in with Sho.
"Does Sho-kun come back tonight?" Jun asked the older.
"No...in a week, I miss him so much!" Aiba moaned, sadly.
"Don't be too sad, he'll come back soon," Jun said, wrapping his arm around Aiba's shoulders.
"I know, but it's always hard when he leaves, I hate his work!!!" Masaki yelled.
"Hey, calm down Ma-chan, I'm sure he misses you too but he does his best for you two," Jun said, patting his head.
"I even miss this arrogant brat," Aiba added making Jun laugh.
"I know you like Kazunari," Jun smiled.
They knew Nino since the elementary school. The brat was a famous singer and actually was in Taiwan for his summer tour.
"I bet you miss him more than me," Aiba smirked and the younger smacked his head.
Jun and Kazunari's relationship was very weird. They seemed to love each other, were extremely close but at the same time, but shouted they never could be together. Nino said it would be strange while Jun said he couldn't love a geek stingy and arrogant brat like Nino. The younger affirmed Nino was like his brother.
Jun cooked their dinner while the older watched documentary about bears. When the doorbell rang, a smile appeared on the younger's lips. He walked to the door and opened it.
"You're late." Jun smirked.
"Jun, who's he?" Aiba screamed, still glued to the T.V.
"The plumber!" Jun grinned.
"You called the plumber? Why? You..." Aiba joined him and stopped, choked.
"Hi, baby!" Sho smiled, waving his hand.
"SHOOO!!!" Aiba shouted before running toward his boyfriend. He jumped into his arms, wrapping his legs around his lover's waist.
"I missed you too," Sho whispered in his ear before kissing him deeply. Both moaned when the older slipped his tongue in Aiba's mouth, deepening the kiss.
"Oi, you have a bedroom, perverts!" Nino groaned when he appeared behind the newscaster.
"Kazu, you're here?!!!" Jun exclaimed, surprised.
"Hello, J." Nino smiled and the younger hugged him tightly, kissing his cheek.
"I missed you," Jun whispered and Nino nodded. Even if he felt the same, he hated to show his feelings in front of people.
"JunJun, you're so mean, you knew Sho was coming back tonight!" Aiba pouted when his lover released him.
"Don't call me like that, baka, and sorry, but it was Sho's idea," Jun smirked while Nino hugged him from behind, putting his cheek against the younger's back. Aiba turned toward his lover who smiled.
"Gomen ne, Ma-chan but I wanted to surprise you, I missed you so bad!" Sho said, pecking Aiba's pouty lips. The animal lover smiled and nuzzled his nose in Sho's neck.
They sat and started to have dinner, Aiba speaking loudly and excitedly, his hand holding Sho's.
"Hey, Jun, you still don't have a boyfriend?" Sho asked and Jun blushed.
"Sea and fishes are Jun's lovers," Aiba smirked and the younger smacked his head.
"Oi, you, shut up!" Jun growled.
"Seriously, Jun, you need a boyfriend, life is not just about the sea," Sho said, kindly.
"I can be your boyfriend if you want," Nino teased him, his hand starting to stroke Jun's thigh.
"Shut up, brat, in your dreams!" Jun laughed, snapping his friend's hand.
"Seriously, Jun, you don't miss sex? How do you do?" Aiba asked, choked.
"You and your bitch are just two perverts," Jun smirked, looking at Sho.
"Oi...you.." Aiba started but Nino cut him.
"He's right."
And the three others laughed.
Soon, Jun's smile disappeared. He knew his friends were right, life wasn’t just about the sea, he wanted to love someone, he wanted to have a precious person to protect but...
"You must forget him, Jun, he just was a bastard!" Nino said as if he read his thoughts.
"Urusai! Don't judge him!" Jun yelled, angrily before leaving and locking himself into his bedroom.
"Omedetou, Kazunari, you're the best for spoiling our dinners," Sho frowned, annoyed.
"But I'm right," Nino pouted.
"You know he is very sensitive with this subject, why did you say that?! Aren't you his friend?!" Aiba said, furious.
"Go to apology!" Sho added, agreeing.
Nino sighed and stood up. He really wasn't the kind of person who apologized easily. Despite his big sensitivity, he hated showing his feelings in front of someone, except with Jun because of their special relationship. The younger knew this fact and was thankful to his best friend for his trust. Even if Nino claimed loudly he couldn't date Jun, Kazu knew he loved his friend very much. For five years, he had been hiding his true feelings for the younger of their group, knowing Jun just felt a strong friendship toward him. It destroyed him but his actual relationship with the young man was more important than everything and he couldn't spoil it, it would be even more painful. Sometimes, Nino thought his life was very pathetic. He was a famous singer, known in the whole Asia, adored by a million girls, women and wives. He could sleep with all the girls he wanted, he could have the prettiest of Japan, but there was some big problems. The first was the fact Nino liked men and the second that he was deeply in love with his best friend, the same man who saw him like his brother...
"Life is unfair," Nino sighed before he entered in the younger's bedroom and when he saw him crying on the floor, his head in his knees, a pain crossed Nino's heart. He didn't want to hurt his best friend but he was jealous about Jun's feelings. He hated the man who hurt him a year ago and was envious as well, this bastard didn't deserve Jun's love. He thought it was him who must be loved by his friend.
"J...." Nino began, moving toward his friend.
"I know you're right," Jun sighed, still crying silently.
"No, I was wrong, I don't have the right to judge him because even if it's true, my words hurt you and I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, my Jun-tan."
"I don't know why I can't forget him, I don't love him anymore but I can't erase his memory, why, Kaz’, why can't I?" Jun whispered, his voice was shaking.
"I don't know."
Jun looked at him, tears shinning in his eyes. Nino stroked his cheek kindly. The gamer believed his heart would die when he saw the sadness in his favorite chocolate eyes. He wanted to stop these tears, he wanted to erase the pain in Jun's heart and without thinking, he kissed those beautiful lips. The younger blinked, surprised, and Nino stroked his cheek.
"I'm here, I'm here for you, Jun, even for one night," Nino whispered.
He pushed Jun on the bed and kissed him deeply. The younger moaned and wrapped his arms around Nino's neck, burying his face against it. Jun couldn't think, his mind was telling him it was wrong but his body wasn't listening to him and when Kazu's hand slipped into his boxer, he moaned loudly and attacked Nino's lips. They often slept together when Jun or Kazu was sad, they knew it was wrong but they couldn't help it.

The young diver blinked, the sun shinning on his face. He turned his head and saw Nino sleeping, naked, his head on his chest. A smile appeared on his lips, his favorite gamer was so cute when he was sleeping. He was loosing all his bratty side, showing an adorable baby face. Jun stroked his cheek with tenderness. When he remembered their last night together, his cheeks became red. He made love to Nino... He kissed him... He took him deeply. Jun still could hear the loud moans Nino made when he penetrated him, he still could feel the nails of the gamer scratching his back in pleasure. But the worst was he had to admit he really enjoyed their night together even if he just felt friendship toward Nino (he tried to convince himself it was just friendship but knew there was something more).
As if Kazunari knew he was awake, he opened his eyes and smiled.
"Do you feel better?" Nino asked softly.
"Y..yes, thank you," Jun stammered.
"I'll always be there for my J."
The older grinned, stroking Jun's chest lovingly.
Jun smiled, ashamed, he didn't want to give false hope to his friend but Nino didn't seem to want more from the younger and Jun sighed.
Both got up and the brat stole a kiss from him, making him blush.
When they walked into the kitchen, Aiba was there, sit on his lover's lap.
"Nino, you were so noisy, yesterday night!" Aiba teased when they saw them.
"Shut up, Aibaka!" Nino blushed deeply while Jun bursted out into laughters.
"Mouuu, Nino isn't kind, Sho," Aiba pouted, childishly.
"You were very noisy too, baby," Sho whispered in his ear.
"But you love it, ne?" Aiba smiled.
"Yes, so so much."
Jun sighed, after a shower, he took his stuff and left the apartment. He wasn't in the mood to see these lovebirds. Mornings were very difficult for him, he always felt tired, annoyed and hated the noise. He needed calm, that was why, his first thought was for the beach. He loved to sit on the sand and look at the waves, the horizon and the sun shinning on the water. It calmed him down. When he was closing his eyes, the only sound he could hear was the noise from the waves scratching softly on the beach. It was like a melody to his ears, as if the ocean was trying to invade his whole body.
Jun started his car and drove to the beach. He saw the sun shinning through his window but suddenly, his eyes widened. A man crossed the road without looking. Jun cried. He tried to brake but it was too late. With despair, he turned his wheel toward the right and his car brushed against the man. Panicked, Jun rushed outside and ran toward the man, laying on the ground. He lifted him in his arms and stroked his cheek making the guy opening his eyes painfully.
"Are you all right?" Jun asked, panicked.
The man looked at him with surprised eyes and Jun's heart fluttered. He was so beautiful with his black hair, his chubby face and his full pink mouth. Jun had never seen such beautiful man like him in his whole life.
"Are you all right? You seem choked," Jun repeated when the man didn't respond and before adding. "I'm Matsumoto Jun, nice to meet you," Jun smiled kindly.
