A/N: connected to my previous series

Prologue: Nino’s crush
Chapter 1: Wishing for the distance…
“Come on, guys! Practice should start in minutes. We better get going or he’ll shout at us for hours…” Sho addressed this to his band mates as he grabbed his stuff to head dance practice.
“But MatsuJun is not here yet!” Aiba pointed.
“Yeah, well, I’d rather choose that diva being yelled at alone than all of us…” Nino said and poked Ohno’s cheek who was sleeping with his head in the gamer’s lap. “Wake up, Oh-chan! It’s time to go to practice…” he told rather softly to the older man.
Nino felt that Aiba was watching which made him more desperate. He caressed softly Ohno’s scalp in which return the older man who was still half in sleep purred lightly and a smile ghosted on his pouty lips. Nino stole a glance from Aiba and barely caught the bright blush what colored the taller man’s face before he turned to flee from the dressing room. The gamer felt somehow satisfied with this reaction.
‘I hope you feel the same pain I do when you’re with Sho…’ Nino thought before he made Ohno get up and they headed to the practice hall after Sho and Aiba. After all, he really did not want to be yelled at early in the morning. That’s not healthy…
But in the end it turned out they couldn’t start the practice. Not without Jun being there. Yet their dance instructor didn’t want to waste his time too so he just started teach the new dance routine to Ohno while the others should’ve watch it.
Nino pulled out his DS from his sweatpants’ pocket - congratulating to himself for bringing it - and started to play with that to distract himself from the fact that Sho was sitting right next to him. Yet it turned out the other way round. From time to time Nino stole a glance from Sho but in the end he always ended up staring at him, at how adorable he frowned in concentration.
“Nino, are you okay?” Sho asked silently the gamer.
Nino shuddered; he was too absorbed in his own world that he didn’t notice Sho caught him on staring, or not really staring…
“You feel okay?... You spaced out and your face is flushed…” the rapper said putting his hand gently on Nino’s forehead checking if he has fever or not?
Nino hesitated for a moment. If he says yes would Sho take care of him?... But just as he opened his mouth to answer to him, the rehearsal room’s door burst open and Jun stormed in.
“Sumimasen for being late!” he said bowing, gaining everybody’s attention in the room, including Sho.
Nino tsk-ed lightly and leant back to the wall. If Jun would have been late for a few more minutes… He sighed barely audible and took his DS in hand again. Just to notice he died god knows when. He sighed again.
“…let’s take a short break then practice starts!” Nino caught the last words of their dance instructor before he left the room, then the gamer looked at Ohno who was coming towards them.
“You were great, Captain!” Aiba beamed at the oldest member.
Nino quickly grabbed Ohno’s hand and pulled him down next to him. Taking his towel he started to wipe off the sweat from his face while smiled sweetly at him. And Ohno let him to do it.
Sometimes Nino felt guilty to take advantage on Ohno and his calm personality. They were close friends, best friends actually since Nino started breaking of his friendship with Aiba. So Nino knew Ohno inside out, he knew all the things he could and the few things he couldn’t do with him and he didn’t hold back to take advantage of this knowledge to hurt Aiba…
“Aiba-chan! Since you have nothing to do, get some water to Oh-chan, will you?” Nino said without looking at the tallest member. His tone was harsh just to worsen things further and it worked cause the said boy jumped up immediately and run away from them.
Nino kept drying up Ohno acting all lovely-dovey during the process. From the corner of his eye he looked at Sho who was again reading his notes. To tell the truth, hurting Aiba wasn’t the only reason why Nino clanged to Ohno. He hoped it will make Sho jealous yet he managed nothing on this field though he was doing this for years already…
“Aiba! Where’s that water? Is it that hard to bring here a single bottle?” Nino shouted to Aiba who talked to Jun in the corner.
“Sorry to keep you waiting!” Aiba chirped with his usual wide smile when he was finally back.
The gamer grabbed the bottle from Aiba’s hand though he was handing it to their leader.
“You’re slower than a pregnant turtle!” Nino complained as he opened the water bottle to Ohno. “Here, drink this, Oh-chan…” he said with an adorable smile.
“Thanks, Nino… Thanks, Aiba-chan…” Ohno said to them smiling before sipped the water.
Nino risked a glance at Sho again. The newscaster wasn’t buried into his papers anymore, yet he neither was looking at Nino. Again he was drooling over Aiba… The gamer suppressed a sigh and get up. Suddenly he felt an irresistible need to get away from there. To get away from them…
“I just go to the bathroom…” he said at the questioning looks and left the room with that…
It wasn’t until hours later till Nino decided to head back to the practice room.
At first he just wanted to get out of there, hoping the change of air might sooth his aching heart too but when it seemed no working he simply decided to skip practice in that way he won’t have to stay with them… So he climbed up to the rooftop and lay down with his hands under his head and just stared up at the sky…
The dance instructor came back to the rehearsal hall and to his greatest annoyance there were again only four members of Arashi. Just this time it was Nino who went missing.
“Where’s Ninomiya-kun?” he asked and annoyance was clear in his tone.
The others looked around too noticing just now that the shortest member didn’t return yet. They looked back at the instructor helplessly.
“Ano… Nino said he goes to the bathroom… but he looked sick earlier so… I go check on him…” Sho said remembering Nino’s strange behavior and it started to worry him.
He headed to the door right away but the instructor stopped him.
“No! You stay, Sakurai-kun! One person skipping my practice is more than enough. And if Ninomiya-kun is really sick he can’t participate in practice anyway so there’s nothing to do” the man said. “Now let’s start is already!”
When Nino finally decided to go back he bumped into exactly their manager on his way.
“Oh, Nino-kun! I was just looking for you!” the woman said smiling happily. “Wait, shouldn’t you be on dance practice right now?” she asked suspiciously.
“Yeah, but I felt sick so they sent me out to rest. But I’m okay now, so I thought about going back” Nino lied fluently.
“Oh, okay… Anyway, here’s this role to you in a mini-dorama… The shooting starts two days later from today, it’ll be in Osaka and takes two weeks” she informed him.
“Great! This is just what I need right now…” Nino muttered under his breath and he really thought so.
“What did you say?” his manager asked back.
“I said where my script is?” Nino articulated the words.
“You’re right, here it is!” the woman said handing the script to the small man.
“If you need nothing more from me… I have a practice to be there…” the gamer said and with the script in his hand he started to walk toward the practice hall again.
“Just one more thing! We’ll pick you up at 5 a.m. on the first day of shooting! Be ready!” she called after him.
“Okay, whatever” he said uninterested looking over his shoulder at the manager before stepped into the said room…
“I appreciate that you finally decided to appear on my practice…” the dance instructor said mockingly when Nino entered the room. “Too bad we already finished…”
“Sumimasen but on my way back our manager caught me and she just finished talking now” Nino said even holding up the script in his hand to prove his half-lie.
“Okay then I look over it to you this time but yiou still hace to learn the new choreography…” the instructor said firmly. “Sakurai-kun! Since you were so worried about Ninomiya-kun, stay back with him now and teach him…”
Nino felt his heartbeat quicken at this. Was Sho really worried about him?... The rapper just nodded obediently to the instructor who soon left, just as Jun, Aiba and Ohno.
“Okay, let’s start it quickly. I have only one and a half hour to spare with it before my NewsZero meeting starts so…” Sho said as he walked up to the mirrored wall.
“Don’t worry… I don’t want to spend with this the rest of my day too, you know…” Nino said and did his best to seem nonchalant yet he had a feeling that somehow his acting skills always disappear in thin air whenever he was alone with Sho…
“Okay, then the first step: you put your feet here like this…” Sho started teaching when the smaller man stood next to him…
A/N: okay, here is chap1, I hope I didn't kept you waiting too long and none of you died of curiosity ;)
