Chapter 10: Disclosing secrets (Part II.)
Weeks passed one by one but nothing seemed to change. The ‘biggest’ thing what happened that Jun stopped staring at Nino and bugging his about his relationship with Sho. The gamer was sure that it’s not because he started to believe that he really loves Sho, but more likely that he didn’t have enough time or energy for it since he got a new dorama role to be busy with. But either was it, Nino couldn’t care les. Not now. Not now when it seemed he wins Sho heart! No matter how much time passed, he still could hear Sho’s words: ‘I like you more when you smile like this…’ Sho likes him! He said it! And he even called Nino ‘my lover’ earlier…! Nino’s heart burst out happily anytime he thought about it. However sometimes he lost his confidence in this. Sho didn’t bring it up, nor said any of it to Nino again. The gamer couldn’t help wondering that Sho would’ve just slipped with these words. That he didn’t mean it the way Nino thinks he did; that it was just an unfortunate choice of words… Still, Nino tried to keep optimistic about it. He believed that it’s just a matter of time and Sho will confess to him properly!...
But life didn’t want to reward Nino for all the suffering he stood so far. Even it was time for him to get his ‘they lived happily ever after’ as in the children’s tales comes after the rough times.
But this time someone else got his happy ending…
“Ohayou” Ohno mumbled sleepily with a yawn as he walked into the green room.
When the door opened Sho immediately looked up from his newspaper, hoping it’s Nino, but his face fell as soon as he saw that it’s ‘just’ Ohno… For want of better he picked up his paper and continued reading after greeting the artist. But his peaceful reading was soon disturbed again; this time by MatsuJun’s laughing which was accompanied by Riidaa’s whining and fruitless struggling to make him stop it.
Sho glared at the couple for a few seconds. It wasn’t the first time that these two were whispering about something what they never shared with Sho or Nino. The newscaster couldn’t help wondering whether it has something to do with Aiba or not, knowing that Jun was pretty close to their Miracle Boy during the last half a year or so…
“What’s so funny?” he asked finally confused.
“Nothing! Nothing is funny…” Ohno said quickly, to his luck Jun was still laughing so hard that he couldn’t say anything. “Stop it already, will you, Matsumoto Jun?” he tried to use his best ‘leader voice’ but it was pretty much useless since he was pouting to it.
Suddenly a quick knock was heard then the door opened by a panting staff member, cutting off Jun’s laughter.
“Sumimasen. Ohno-san! Johnny-san wants to see you immediately. Hurry, please… He… seems a bit angry…” she added looking at the three idols with concern in her eyes.
Ohno blinked at her then looked at Jun and Sho questioningly but they just shook their head.
“I guess I better get going then…” Ohno mumbled and followed the staff member.
As Nino turned the corner walking hurriedly to their dressing room, he barely caught as Ohno stepped into the elevator accompanied with a staff member. The gamer wasn’t sure that he saw worry on the older man’s face or it was just his imagination.
“What the heck was it?” Sho asked Jun confused when Nino entered.
“I think it has something to do with this…” Nino said.
Both of his band mates jumped in surprise since none of them noticed his arrival.
The gamer handed over a magazine to them with an angry frown on his face. Sho took it from him. It was that kind of magazine, in which none of them wanted to appear yet now there were a bunch of photos about Ohno and Aiba coming out a hospital, holding hands, there was even one where they were kissing! In the article they blabbed about how strong Arashi’s ‘member ai’ seems to be, yet it might be more between these two; but the most of it was made up stories that the hospital visit must has something to do with Aiba’s sudden hiatus. And to Jun’s greatest fear, they even hinted a joke that Aiba looks like he’s pregnant…
“What’s the meaning of this?” Sho asked disbelieving. “Aiba-chan and Ohno…”
Nino looked at the rapper with unreadable face at this. He knew that tone of his. That hurt, disbelieving voice of his; it was the same he used the morning after their drinking session, when Nino told him Aiba was in love with Riidaa… It was long since Nino last felt this pain in his heart and it seemed to be stronger than before. Maybe because he let himself believe that Sho started to fall for him… The gamer suddenly turned on his heels without a word and headed to the door.
“Oi! Ninomiya! Where are you going?” Jun asked him.
“I go talk with that baka!” Nino answered without glancing back.
“Wait, Nino! You can’t go…!” Jun said running after him and tried to stop him. “What’s with the practice?” the younger man said as he grabbed Nino’s arm.
Nino yanked his arm free from Jun’s grip.
“Fuck the practice! I want to know what Aiba dragged Oh-chan into!” the gamer said and run away.
“Fuck…” Jun mumbled as he stared at the place where Nino just disappeared behind the corner…
Nino ran all the way from the train station to Aiba’s apartment. Once he got there he started hammering the door loudly.
“Oi! Open it, Aiba! Do you hear me? Open it right now!” he shouted angrily not caring if it cause problems to the cheerful man with his neighbors.
Soon sound of footsteps was heard from inside then Aiba’s cautious voice came:
“Nino-chan? Is that you?”
“Of course it’s me! Now open it!” the gamer said impatiently and annoyed at the same time but the impatience was the stronger right now.
There was a long silence and Nino was ready to band his fist against the door again when it suddenly opened up a bit giving barely enough space to the skinny idol to slide into the apartment.
“I’m grateful you finally decided to let me in…” he said sarcastically as he kicked of his shoes then stomped in without waiting for further invitation. He was way more impatient than to care about things like visiting policy. Hell, he didn’t even look at Aiba as he passed next to him.
When Nino reached the living room he turned to face Aiba the first time since he arrived; also the first time in months…
“And now will you, please, tell me…” he started but went silent as soon as he saw Aiba’s condition. “What the hell?! Don’t tell me that magazine guessed right and you’re really pregnant!” Nino said gasping.
“Surprise!... I guess…” Aiba waved his hand and tried smiling widely but he was too anxious to it so failed badly.
“This is why you asked for the hiatus?... And it’s Oh’chan’s kid, right?... This is why he was s hyper recently, nee? You went to the hospital to check up on you, didn’t you?” Nino was smart enough to put two and two together yet he still had a hard time to grasp it.
“Yeah, it’s the truth…” Aiba admitted and still looked at Nino with a bit of fear in his eyes. “I’m really sorry for not telling it to you… for lying to all of you…” he added. “And…” the Miracle Boy hesitated a little bit before continued: “I’m sorry about Sho-kun too… I… I never wanted to make him fall for me, I swear! I didn’t even realized how he feels till Jun told it to me! I’m really sorry for standing between you two!” he said hurriedly.
Nino blinked at him stunned by the sudden apology.
‘Of course you didn’t want to make Sho fall for you! There was never anyone else to you, just Riidaa… So it doesn’t that surprising either that you didn’t realize how Sho feels….’ Nino thought. ‘Fuck! I can’t even get mad at you and your kicked puppy eyes!’
“Baka! Why are you apologizing? You don’t have to apologize for something like this… Everything is cool between Sho-kun and me…” ‘I hope…’ Nino added in thought. He couldn’t help think about Sho’s face when he saw those photos. As if his heart was broken… And here, Nino just thought that Sho fell out of his love for Aiba… No, he didn’t just think it, he made himself believe it… “Actually, it should be me who says this… I was too blinded by my jealousy and hurt… But I guess I don’t have to explain this to you how I felt every time when I saw you two together… So…” Nino took a deep breath. “…gomen…” he said and turned his head away guarding his emotions efficiently before they become readable on his face.
Again there was a long silence between them and Nino started to feel stupid saying all that stuff…
“Arigatou, Nino-chan!” Aiba said in the end and the gamer saw from the corner of his eye that the other boy was beaming.
“Yeah, whatever…” Nino snorted but couldn’t hide his up-curling lips.
A/N: okay, to those who read You're my Angel there wasn't too much new in this chapter, sorry. oh, and Part III. will come to this too...
