Chapter 14:
“I’ll quit the jimushou…”
Ohno’s announcement caused worse effect than any bomb would.
“Eh?”
“What?”
Nino and Sho looked simply utterly shocked by Ohno’s words while Aiba seemed panicked over the news. Ohno was one of the few stable points in his life ever. And now he says he’ll leave?... The young idol could hardly imagine this.
“You can’t…” Aiba breathed out with teary eyes.
Nino looked at his friend with worry in his eyes. He was just as shocked by Ohno’s words as the two other but he felt like it’s his duty to smooth things out for now. This whole dinner-party was his idea to begin with…
“Ohno-kun! You can’t be serious! It’s a bit sudden, don’t you think?” Sho asked.
He took Aiba’s hand to reassure him but he was quite upset himself too.
“Okay, okay! Stop!” Nino interrupted the manager’s ramblings as well as Ohno who just opened his mouth to answer Sho. “Let’s calm down, okay?” he said looking at everyone one by one. “Satoshi was just joking…”
“I was not…” Ohno protested seriously.
“Yes. You. Were!” Nino said harshly, a bit too harshly maybe cause the dance instructor stared back at his young lover rather offended.
“Let’s continue our dinner. I worked my butt off to feed you so don’t you dare leave any left-over!” he ordered trying to change the topic back to safer ones…
But the mood was officially ruined. Everybody returned to their meal but none uttered a single word. As soon as they finished eating, Aiba and Sho quickly excused themselves from the awkward situation and went home. Nino couldn’t blame them for not wanting to deal with this right now. It was probably almost as big trauma to Aiba like when Sho left almost. Well, without the love-thing… That was Nino’s part this time…
“I think I better leave too…” Ohno mumbled stepping into his shoes.
“Don’t even think about that, old man!”
Grabbing Ohno’s elbow, Nino dragged him back to the loving room - the dance instructor barely managed to kick off his boots again - and pushed him down sitting on the couch.
“Speak!” Nino said standing over him, crossing his arms over his chest.
Ohno looked up at him. Nino seemed to be angrier than he ever saw him.
“There’s nothing to tell. I’ll quit. That’s all” the older man said shrugging.
“There’s nothing to tell?!” Nino repeated Ohno’s words, not believing his ears. “Then tell me where did you get the idea of quitting so suddenly? What about Aiba-chan? He needs you… And what about you? You love your job! What will you do after quitting? And…” Nino’s voice wavered a little. “What about me?... I just got you and… now you leave me?...” he whispered silently.
“No!” Ohno shouted and jumped from his seat. “I’m not leaving you! I'm doing this for us!”
“Us? How can your quitting be for us? I don’t get it!” Nino snapped impatiently as annoyed, confused tears brimmed his eyes.
“If they’ll know we’re together they’ll start to talk about it! About us! I won’t let them take you to their mouth and spread filthy things about you just because you’re dating me! That’d be ugly for sure and I vowed myself if I ever get the chance to be with you… I’ll protect you from everything and everyone!...” Ohno said seriously.
“They don’t need to know it…” Nino said weakly.
The thought that Ohno would not be there everyday left Nino breathless and he felt like breaking down crying in any minute.
“I won’t keep it a secret! I don’t want to! I want to climb to the highest spot and shout to the world that I love you and you love me too! Don’t ask me for keeping it, please… I’m not sure I’d be able to…” Ohno said gently cupping Nino’s face in his palms.
“But I don’t want you to quit…” Nino whimpered out barely audible.
Ohno could say nothing at this so he just leaned in and kissed the younger man with all his might… Nino moaned and whimpered into the kiss. Suddenly he felt stupid to even think that Ohno would leave him.
“But…!” Nino gasped tearing his lips from Ohno’s. “Wha… what about… Aiba-chan?... You’ll just… leave him?... He’s… quite depending on you…” Nino whispered.
Nino really hoped that with Sho by his side Aiba won’t break down completely if Ohno quits but still… they were Aiba’s family… And their family will be one member down soon…
Ohno sighed softly. He sat back to the couch and pulled Nino down too to sit on his lap.
“I know… I’ll find out something…” he promised.
“We will find out something together…” Nino corrected.
Ohno just smiled and pulled his boyfriend into another kiss…
“So can I congratulate?”
“What?”
Nino turned back confused and slightly annoyed. He could not imagine any reason why Matsumoto would want to talk to him. Let alone why’d he want to congratulate?
“You and Satoshi-kun… I heard you’re together now…” Jun said walking up to the shorter man.
“We are…” Nino ensured the stylist but he still eyed him suspiciously. “But I still don’t get what do you want from me?” he asked.
Jun sighed. He could understand Nino’s attitude but it didn’t mean he was happy to deal with it.
“Look, as you said the other time, we don’t have to be friends but now that you and Satoshi-kun are one item… we should at least tolerate each other. So we won’t cause trouble to him…” the stylist said reaching out his hand to Nino.
“Okay” he said curtly and accepted the stylist’s hand.
“I just want to see my friend happy. If he finds it with you… then I’m ready to support the two of you…” Jun said.
“Good that you finally realized that we’re on the same side…” Nino responded. “I will make him happy, I swear you…”
Jun nodded with a smile and let go of Nino’s hand.
“I expect you. Or I won’t forgive you…”
Nino nodded then turned on his heels and walked away from Jun. He wondered how that could be that it rather sounded like declaring war instead of making up…
“Ninomiya-kun, you’re here finally!” Tackey said obviously relieved. “Hurry, Johnny-san is waiting already. He’s really impatient…” he added whispered.
“Sorry, I got hold back a little…” Nino apologized. “I’ll be fine on my own, Tackey, thank you…” he told to the assistant with a smile.
Tackey nodded and retreated to his desk outside Johnny’s office.
Nino knocked before entered the office.
“Uncle? You wanted to see me…”
“Kazunari, finally! You’re late! Hurry up next time! I don’t have all day…” the old man snapped at him.
“Sumimasen deshita!” Nino apologized bowing his head slightly.
His uncle just ignored his apology.
“You might have heard that Ohno-kun decided to quit next month…” he said instead.
“I heard…” Nino said and couldn’t help his mood turning sulky just by the mention of this. He already missed Ohno being around all day.
“Then you know it’s a trouble to us… you, especially!” his uncle said harshly.
“Me?” Nino asked his eyes widening in shock. It can’t be his uncle already knew about them, can he?
“Yes! Since he’s the juniors’ dance instructor, he’s your responsibility as you’re the chief manager of the junior section! It also concerns your friend, Aiba-kun too…”
Nino almost let out a loud, relieved sigh. So it was only that! Not that he’d actually cared whatever his uncle’s opinion would be about his relationship with Ohno. He was an adult now so he can’t forbid him things; also he doesn’t need to ask his permission…
“Wakarimashita. Let me handle it on my own way, uncle” he said composing himself quickly.
“Do as you wish but if you can’t persuade him to change his mind, it’d be your duty to find someone to fill his place!” his uncle ordered.
“Got that. Leave it to me” Nino said nodding firmly before walked out the office.
Since he knew he can’t make Ohno change his mind - not that he’d even try; after their talk it was obvious that Ohno’d not change his mind on this topic, no matter what Nino would tell him - it left him with the other task. Finding someone to fill his place… But who could it be? None was as good at dancing, teaching it and handling the juniors all in one person; also the other dance instructors at the jimushou were only half as good as him. What should he do now?...
Nino sighed deeply. He needed to see Ohno now…
As Nino reached Ohno’s dance hall, he couldn’t help but blush deeply. The memories of their first night together still lived vivid in his head. He heard the music coming from the room so he forced himself to push aside his memories as he opened the door.
He watched with a smile as Ohno taught a new choreography to the juniors. They all were quite good but the best was Ohno in Nino’s eyes.
“Okay, guys, one more time then you can go!” Ohno said to the boys sparing a quick glance and smiled to his lover at the doorway as he reset the music…
A few minutes later the music ended.
“Okay, boys, you did great! Good job! Go, shower up then you can go home” Ohno said with a smile.
“Hai! Otsukare sama deshita!”
Nino stopped aside to let out the juniors then rushed to Ohno.
“Hey, baby!” Ohno smiled at the younger man who immediately circled his arms around his waist.
“I’ll miss this…” Nino murmured into Ohno’s shoulder.
“Miss what?” the dance instructor asked back puzzled.
“Miss that I can come here to get a hug anytime…” Nino explained. “Or a kiss…” he added with mischievous glint in his eyes then pressed his lips to Ohno’s.
“Then I’ll just have to make it up to you when we’re together…” Ohno replied before capturing Nino’s lips in a more passionate kiss.
“I won’t… stop you…” Nino grinned at him.
Ohno just chuckled before kissed him one more time. Man, he can’t get tired of kissing Nino or just holding him in his arms… or…
“Mmm… I bet… I can tell… what’s on… your mind now…” Nino murmured chuckling when he felt Ohno’s hardness pressing to his hip.
“You can’t blame me… Little tempter…” Ohno said grinning.
“Now who’s blaming who?” Nino smiled nuzzling into Ohno’s neck.
“It’s not blaming. It’s stating the facts…” Ohno said trying to act seriously which was hard to believe with his hands slipping into the back of Nino’s pants to cup his butt in his firm grip.
Nino moaned at the older man’s groping touch.
“Satoshi…” he whimpered aroused when…
“Oi! Get a room!”
Both Ohno and Nino turned their head to the door where Aiba stood with a half amused, half annoyed expression on his face.
“What do you want?” Nino asked pouting but blushing. It was kinda embarrassing to be caught with your boyfriend’s hands in your pants…
“You promised to go shopping with me, remember?” Aiba said crossing his arms over his chest.
“Oh, yeah…” Nino mumbled, obviously he totally forgot about that promise.
“Great! I still have a photo shoot in the evening so get going now!” Aiba ordered and walked out.
Nino sighed and pouted some more. He showed no intention on letting Ohno go.
“Go, Aiba-chan’s waiting for you…” Ohno said finally kissing Nino’s forehead.
The younger man nodded reluctantly and pulled his hands away from the dance instructor’s waist. He was almost out when Ohno called after him.
“Don’t think you’re off the hook! We’re finishing this tonight!...”
Nino just grinned back at him as an answer…
Aiba was already waiting for Nino next to the younger’s car in the parking lot when Nino finally reached him. As soon as he noticed Aiba’s smug grin he quickly get into the car before the young idol could say anything. But he was naïve to think he could escape the teasing just like this…
“So… you and Oh-chan… in the dance hall, at living day-light…?” Aiba teased grinning at Nino.
The skinny man frowned at the question. When did things turn like this? When did he become the one who’s teased while Aiba the one who’s teasing him? He absolutely didn’t like the idea.
“Shut up!” he snapped. “You’re just jealous cause you and your ‘Sho-chan’ had just plain, boring sex… Night time, dark room, once a week… always the same pose…” Nino commented brattily but it wasn’t that effective thanks to his still blush burned cheeks. Aiba still turned his lips in an offended pout.
“That’s not true! Sho-chan and me have completely healthy sexual life! If you wanna know we did it in…”
“No, I don’t!” Nino shouted terrified to hear any details on their sexual life. He really missed the shy, inexperienced Aiba who he was in their early teenage days…
‘But it can’t be helped… The damage is done already…’ Nino thought well aware of the fact that he was partly the cause of it so he’ll just have to bear with the consequences, probably to the rest of his life…
Suppressing a sigh he parked his car at the mall and get out.
“Come on, I thought you wanted shopping… Let’s go!” he said reluctantly.
Aiba followed him still grinning stupidly…
A/N: so nothing really happened here. it's just a little angsty-little fluffy something before the grand finale XD but hope you liked it ^-^
