Chapter 3: Their fight
“Now that we happened to be together here…” Jun said the next day once all the five Arashi members and Aya-chan and Mao sat around the table.
“As if it weren’t you who invited us…” Nino murmured into his glass.
Sho glanced at him scolding then took his hand under the table to be able keeping Nino calm or at least prevent him from picking a fight with Jun no matter how much he loved to provoke the youngest member.
“Mao and I want to tell you something…” Jun finished ignoring or not hearing Nino’s comment.
“What is it?” Aiba asked immediately curious.
Jun smiled at his wife before answered.
“Mao’s pregnant. We’ll have a baby by this summer!” he announced proudly.
“Uso!” Nino cried out spurting out his drink.
“Really? You too?” Aiba said at the same time as Nino spoke.
The other four adult looked at Nino and Aiba shocked and/or frowning.
“Of course it’s true. I wouldn’t joke about something like this” Jun snorted and reached for his glass.
“What do you mean, ‘we too’, Ai-chan?” Mao asked Aiba confused.
“Ehm… that…” Aiba bit his lip nervously and glanced at Nino but seeing the younger man’s death glare he quickly turned back to the actress. “Oh, I just thought that after Toshi and me, you’ll have a child too now!” he said finally grinning at her. “Omedetou, Mao-chan!”
Sho watched Nino closely during this. The younger man seemed to be somehow annoyed and pouted glaring at his plate as if that would be responsible for whatever was bothering him. Sho guessed it might be his pregnancy - what he didn’t want to talk about at all, let alone telling to their friends - but couldn’t be sure. Nino’s mind worked twisted ways sometimes and Sho didn’t even make attempts to follow it cause that was just impossible. The rapper sighed inwardly then turned smiling to the married couple.
“Omedetou, Mao-chan, Jun!” he congratulated too. “Do you know that it’s a girl or a boy?” he asked.
“Not yet. I’m at the beginning of the third month so it’s too early to find out the baby’s gender” the soon-to-be mother said. “But I want a cute baby girl like Aya-chan!” she added smiling and looked at the little girl in Ohno’s lap.
“And you, Jun-kun? What do you want; boy or girl?” Riidaa asked.
“I’m fine with either. But if Mao wants a girl then I hope it will be a girl” Jun said smiling and Mao giggled at this happily.
“Second generation Arashi is on the way, nee?” Aiba said cheerily.
Everybody laughed at this except Nino though none seemed to be bothered to notice it…
“Kazu! Would you tell me finally what’s wrong with you recently?” Sho asked as he closed their apartment’s door when they arrived home.
“Nothing’s wrong, Sho-chan” Nino said automatically and after kicking off his shoes he went to turn on the PS2.
“Well, maybe I’d believe you if you’d at least look at me” Sho said more harshly than he wanted to.
“I’m fine!” Nino repeated this time facing Sho but still avoiding eyecontact with the older man.
“Sorry but still can’t believe you” Sho said. “Seriously, how should I help you if you don’t tell me what’s wrong?” he asked silently.
Nino felt guilty at this.
“I’m sorry, Sho-chan…” he said whispering and sat down on the couch burying his face into his palm.
Sho walked to sit next to him and pulled Nino’s head to his chest.
“I’m not mad at you, babe. I just want to help whatever is bothering you…” the rapper said caressing Nino’s hair gently. “Would you tell me what is it?”
“I don’t know… everything’s wrong… Everything just went… crazy…” closing his eyes Nino took a shaky breath. “I don’t know what to do… I don’t know anything…”
“It’s your pregnancy, right? You know it would be easier if you wouldn’t try to keep it secret. At least not from our friends…” Sho said. “Jun and Mao told it too… We should’ve just done the same. It was a perfect chance…”
“No!” Nino cried out pulling away from Sho and got up from the couch.
“What?” Sho asked confused. “Why?”
“Cause I didn’t want to…”
“Didn’t want to tell them now?”
“Didn’t want to get pregnant ever…” the shorter guy said his voice barely louder than a whisper.
Sho sat frozen at the couch and stared at his lover. It was something he never thought he will hear from Nino. ‘What is he talking about now? Didn’t we both want this? Didn’t we agree on to try it? Then…’ Questions swirled around in Sho’s head but in the same time his mind was frozen and couldn’t grasp a thing.
Nothing was heard in the room but the soft buzzing of Nino’s gameconsole. The younger guy stared at Sho and seemed to be equally shocked yet managed to grab himself faster than the rapper and ran to the front door as soon as he could force his body to move.
“Kazu! Wait! Where are you going?” Sho shouted waking from his numb state but the only answer he got was their apartment’s door shutting close…
Nino wandered around on the streets aimlessly. It’s wasn’t too late yet but winter was close and it was already dark. Then in the end he found himself in front of Aiba’s door. He hesitated for a second then sighing raised his hand to knock.
“I’ll be back soon! Ittekimasu!” Aiba shouted tearing the door open just when Nino wanted to knock and almost bumped into the shorter guy. “Oh, Nino! What’re you doing here?” he asked surprised.
“I… ehm… can I talk with Satoshi?” Nino asked uncertainly.
Aiba raised an eyebrow. Nino stopped calling Ohno ‘Satoshi’ since Aiba was together with their leader. He once asked his friend why and Nino said it doesn’t seem to be appropriate since they were together and he has Sho too. But now… it must be something serious…
“Sure! He’s in the bathroom… We wanted to bath Aya-chan but turned out we ran out of her shampoo…” Aiba smiled at his best friend hoping he’ll cheer up too. “You know the way…” he added then skipped out to buy babyshampoo for their daughter…
Nino walked to the bathroom from where he heard splashing noises and Aya’s giggling together with Ohno voice.
“Hey!” he called for Ohno’s attention.
“Oh, Kazu! What are you doing here?” the older man asked straightening up at the younger man’s voice.
Nino sighed and lowering his head leant against the doorframe.
“Don’t really know… I… just… wanted to talk with someone, I guess…” he said finally. “We… had a fight with Sho…”
“About?” Ohno asked while he turned back to bathing his daughter.
“About me being pregnant” Nino answered surprising himself how easily he said it.
“What’s wrong with that?” Ohno asked looking up at Nino. “I thought you two wanted a family…”
Nino wasn’t sure that Ohno was this calm because Aiba told him the news - despite he made a promise he won’t - or it’s just an ohno-thing that he’s not surprised by something like this.
“How can you ask ‘what’s wrong with it’ so casually?” he asked back. “Everything’s wrong with it! I can’t be pregnant, Oh-chan! I’m a man, for God’s sake!”
“Don’t swear in front of the child” Ohno scolded him. “Anyway, Masaki’s a man too still he gave birth to our daughter” he added as if this could explain everything.
“That was Aiba but this is me!” Nino protested stubbornly.
“Don’t say that. It sounds as if he would be a freak but he isn’t! Neither you are” Ohno said seriously but Nino kept being silent. “Look!” the older men got up from next to the bathtube and turned Nino’s face toward his daughter. “Look at her! She’s a miracle, our miracle with Masaki. Miracles don’t need reasons, they just happen. But they happen rarely! Your child is also a miracle. You should cherish it, not pushing away… You might regret it later…”
Nino watched Aya sitting in the bathtube, splashing the water with her tiny hands and laughing in a sonorous voice what’s little girls’ own. Then as if she knew the adults were talking about her looked up at Nino and reaching out her small arms to him laughed at the singer.
“What will you do now?” Ohno asked after a while.
“Can I stay here for tonight?” the younger man asked turning back to Riidaa.
“Sho knows you’re here?” the older singer asked back.
Nino shook his head.
“Call him, he must be worried. Tell him you’re staying over for tonight but you have to solve this with him tomorrow…” Ohno said hugging the skinny guy for a second.
Nino nodded and walked out. He sat on the couch and pulling his legs to his chest dialed Sho’s number.
“Kazu? Where are you?” Sho’s worried voice asked as the older man picked up after the first ring. “Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to force you into this. I… I really thought you wanted this too… I’m sorry, Kazu, so sorry! Just… Please, come home! Come back to me!” Sho rambled quickly.
“Sho!... I’m… I’m staying with Aiba and Oh-chan for tonight… I’ll… be back in the morning…” Nino said closing his eyes.
For a while there was silence between them.
“Wakatta…” Sho said finally but Nino heard in his voice that he hurt him now. “If this is what you think you need now… I’ll be waiting for you…” he said slowly. “Just… I love you, don’t forget this…”
“I know… I love you too… and… I’m sorry, Sho…” Nino said then hung up without saying anything else…
