Oretachi no Omoide - Chap 7
Chapter 7: In which things only getting worse…
Sho needed hours to grasp what just happened. That he was stupid enough to don’t put away that picture; that now Aiba thinks he’s some crazy stalker and lied to him; that the only present he got from Aiba is now broken… That Aiba was senseless yet broke his heart again…
He carefully took the broken frame from the floor and went to the bedroom. He gently put the picture on the pillow where Aiba slept last time then laid on the other side of the bed but he couldn’t sleep…
Aiba shut the door closed noisily when he arrived.
Jun with only a towel around his slim waist left the bathroom when he heard the noise.
“Ma-chan? Something happened?” he asked worried but the other just hugged him tightly and putting his head on his shoulder started to cry.
Jun didn’t know what to do for a moment then gently embraced the trembling body.
“It’s okay, Ma-chan… Everything will be alright…” he whispered to him and hinted small kisses on Aiba’s cheek and temple.
“Why? Why did he do this to me, Jun-tan?” Aiba cried and held on the model tighter.
Jun had no idea what had happened or what was Aiba talking about so he thought it might better if didn’t say a thing.
“Why can’t he be as nice and honest as you?” Aiba asked choking on the words.
‘I’m really not that nice or good as you think… You’re just too innocent to notice it…’ Jun thought.
“Come on, you should go to bed now…” Jun said finally and Aiba followed him obediently to his bedroom…
In the next two weeks Sho tried to speak to Aiba everyday to explain it to him, but nothing worked. If he called him, he didn’t pick up or if he did, he only said he’s working or busy right now then hung up. If he sent him messages he didn’t get an answer; sure Aiba deleted them without reading. He even tried to talk to him at the petshop but Aiba said if he didn’t buy anything then leave; then simply ignored him till he really left.
Ohno was observing Sho for quite some time already standing at his opened office door. He didn’t know what happened, but he was sure that something did happened. In the last two weeks he was in worse shape than ever before. If his earlier behavior earned the gossip that he’s mourning his lover then Ohno had no idea what they will find out to explain this. He stood there for five minutes at least and during this Sho didn’t notice him; hell, he wasn’t even made any movement! Ohno was really worried.
“Ano… Sho-kun?” Ohno carefully invaded the office but he needed to call Sho’s name two more times to finally get his attention.
“Ah! Ohno-kun! What can I do for you?” he asked robotically and smiled but his eyes remained lifeless.
“Ehm… no, there’s nothing in particular… It’s just… Kazu and I thought that you might want to eat dinner with us tonight?”
“Sure” Sho said but Ohno had a feeling that he doesn’t really know what he had agreed.
“Okay then… after work I’ll pick you up and we can go home together” Ohno said.
“Okay. Then we’ll meet later…” with this Sho turned back to his work or whatever he was doing.
Ohno stood there for a few minutes then he sighed softly and left the office.
“Tadaima, Kazu” Ohno pecked Nino’s cheek when they arrived with Sho.
“Okaeri, Oh-chan” Nino smirked at the older. “Hi there, Sho-kun” he nodded to their guest.
“What will you cooking?” Ohno asked and glanced over Nino’s shoulder to check out the ingredients on the counter.
“Curry. But I can’t concentrate if you breathing in my neck” Nino said smirking. “Go watch TV with Sho-kun or something… I’ll call you if I need your help” he added.
“Okay” Ohno agreed immediately.
Sho couldn’t decide that he’s impressed or surprised. First, because Nino acted totally different from what he did last time they met; second, because Ohno totally surrendered his will to Nino’s. But in the end he just thought about how Aiba and he would be just like this if he wouldn’t have messed up everything on their first and only date…
Sho collapsed on the couch and stared at nothing with glassy eyes for an hour till Nino called them to set the table.
Sho suddenly stopped the setting and stared at the table.
“Why are there four settings?” he asked looking up.
Ohno said nothing just glanced at Nino.
“Oh! Ohno didn’t tell you? One of my friends will eat with us tonight” the game tester said nonchalant.
“Oh… okay” Sho shrugged and Ohno had the feeling again that he didn’t understand what he just heard.
Then someone rang the bell at the next moment.
“Ah! It must be him! Oh-chan, can you open the door?” Nino smiled at the older.
Ohno nodded and went to open the door but paled as soon as he did it. Cause Aiba stood there entwined his fingers with no other than Matsumoto Jun!
“Hello, Ohno-kun! I hope you don’t mind that Jun came too?” Aiba asked smiling.
“Ehm… no, of course not…” Ohno mumbled (as he could say anything else without being totally rude!)
“Kazu! We’ll need one more setting…” Ohno said when they entered the dining room and he didn’t dare to look at Sho.
“Hmm?” Nino asked turning around. “Holy crap! It will be some hell of a night!” he muttered. “MatsuJun! What a nice surprise!” he said aloud. “Sho-kun! Would you mind get one more setting to Jun?” Nino asked the architect.
“Ha… hai…” Sho simply glared at Aiba (and the other way round) till now but he quickly grabbed himself and did as he was told.
It seemed tonight will be a very, very long one…
The Fate’s (or Nino’s) cruelty made Jun, Aiba and Sho sitting at one side of the table while the Ohmiya pair sat at the other.
Sho couldn’t even imagine something worse than this. Nino and Ohno totally felt themselves at home (well, they were at home): they shared food and kisses during the entire meal. Jun and Aiba… well… Jun didn’t hold himself (or rather his hands) back just as when Sho was at their place. And even though Aiba didn’t encourage him, he didn’t even reject him. Sho felt like someone stabbed his heart. He didn’t know how much can he bear with this, and the time even seemed to pass slower than usual just to extend his torture.
He snapped finally when Jun started to feed Aiba.
“Gomen, Ohno-kun, Nino… I… have to go home… I have an early shift tomorrow…”
It was and obvious lie and none believed it who sat around the table but none of them tried to make him stay too. Ohno and Nino looked at him with pity in their eyes; they didn’t plan this night like this…
Sho left the dining room and the apartment without saying anything else…
An hour later Aiba and Jun left the Ohmiya apartment too. They walked without talking but when Jun tried to hold Aiba’s hand, he pulled it away.
“Gomen, Jun-pon but.. I want to go home…” Aiba whispered.
“That’s what we’re doing…” Jun said confused.
“No, you didn’t understand me… I want to go home…” he repeated.
“Oh… then… have a safe trip?...” Jun said hesitantly.
Aiba nodded and headed toward the station.
Aiba sneaked in without making any noise. There was darkness and silence everywhere; as he expected, his family went to bed already. Without lighting up his way, he went to the kitchen and sat down.
He didn’t have to wait long. Soon he hears soft steps then the light was turned on in the kitchen as his mother entered.
“Masaki…” she sighed and stepped to him. “Nanka atta?”
“Kaa-chan! Will you tell me the truth? About me…, the hospital…, the orphanage…?” he looked up at her with teary eyes.
“Oh, Masaki darling! I knew that you will ask it someday, I just thought it will be better if you don’t have to bear with this till you want to know about it… Gomen ne?”
Aiba shook his head.
“It’s okay. Just tell me now!” he asked again.
“Kaa-chan!” Aiba said after the woman finished speaking.
“Nani?” Youko-san asked softly.
“Can you take me to somewhere? Right now…” he asked with puppy eyes.
“Sure…”
Sho woke up at the door bell. He stared at the ceiling confused; he didn’t remember fell asleep, then he turned his head to look at the clock on the nightstand. It read 1 am… But the ringing didn’t stop so Sho dragged his body out of the bed and went to the door.
“What’s it?” he asked half closed eyes when he opened the door.
“Can I come in?” Aiba asked whispering and looked at him…
A/N: okay, now I have some question/announcement to you, my dear readers:
1. I planned to write a 'what happened between Jun and Aiba?' scene; which would be NC-17 as you guessed right BUT even I killed my innocence so far, that didn't mean I will take responsibility for killing other's too... and I've never write smut before; but I still can try if you want me to...
2. I plan on finishing this story with the next one or two chaps even though I have ideas to write it longer and mix the things a bit more. But when I do it sometimes I create too big to be able to sort it our so that might lead to that I'll never finish it just leave out poor Arashi members in the middle of a big mess... So I want to know if you want me to write it longer or is it okay finishing now/soon...
Please give me your answers in a comment or PM!
Thank you so much for your help and your lovely comments so far!!!^^
