Summary : While Nino was still hesitating, he made a daring move, in which double confirm something. Nino is going to...
==========================
Nino went to school as normal, with Jun sending him. It had been 2 days and they never spoke a thing on the way there except for usual ‘what do you want to eat’. He didn’t tell Jun. He just don’t want him to know now.
Every step Nino took was heavy. It’s dragging his body down, and maybe his heart too. He’s coming back today, Nino remembered what he was told. What should he do, how should he react when he see him later? Should he stay as usual, the normal brat?
Nino came into the class and was greeted by his bestie again.
“Nino! You are so so so late! So what did you do yesterday night?” Aiba folded his arms while walking with Nino. “AH! Don’t tell me…don't tell me… you slept with Matsumoto-san?!”
“Aiba Masaki, if you can just shut up-“
Nino stopped when he saw him waving at him and smiling widely. He took a deep breath and tried to wave back. But it‘s impossible when his arms were so heavy. Be like usual, as normal as possible, Nino told himself as he walked to his seat.
“Morning Nino..”
Nino smiled weakly.
“So anything happened in these 2 days?”
He shook his head, while he tried to avoid his face. Now he knew the truth, seeing without acknowledging him, was painful enough to kill him. He had decided to protect Satoshi, like what Sho said to him. He would never speak the truth in front of him. He wanted Satoshi to have a better life.
The bell rang and the teacher came in, yet Nino wasn’t listening. He was staring at Ohno for most the time. At least a look won’t hurt that much.
He didn’t changed… Nino thought as he remembered the past Satoshi. His voice is still as smoothing as he was, his smile is still so bright and his actions, it still resembled as the old him. He started to think back about the past events that happened between him, especially the last few hours in the hut. Though those images were quite scary and horrible, but it’s the only thing to prove Satoshi’s existence.
Nino didn’t realized that it was breaktime until he caught Ohno stretching his body. He looked around and his crazy friend was already gone. He sighed and stood up, without knowing that Ohno was approaching him.
“Nino, do you want to eat together?”
Nino was quiet and avoiding Ohno’s eyes. Ohno walked closer to him while Nino tried to twist his head a little.
“Nino…Are you avoiding me?” Ohno asked, since it really look very obvious that Nino was doing it. “Because you haven’t been talking for the whole day and -“
“No.” He got to make it unsuspicious. “I’m a little tired…”
“You look pale.” Ohno said as he leaned forward.
Without warning, Ohno placed his hands on Nino’s forehead. The sudden warmness shocked Nino .It’s same warm that had once touched him a year ago. He had missed it dearly. How he wished everything were like last time, when he spent his nights with Ohno.
It’s impossible.. There’s no way he would allow Ohno’s memories to be back. He suffered a lot, and Nino don’t want him to suffer again.
He shoved Ohno’s hand away immediately, and raised his voice “Don’t touch me…”
He saw Ohno’s eyes widened in surprise. “Nino?”
“Sorry. I need to go.” he rushed out the classroom.
~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x
Nino was alone at the rooftop. It’s sort of his hideout place now. He didn’t realized that Ohno was standing in front of him until he turned his body. He tried to escape but was caught by his arms. Knowing that it was impossible, he stood there without looking directly at him.
“Nino…” Ohno said softly. “Did I do something wrong again?”
“No.” Nino replied. “I guess I a little tired from studying...”
“I see. I guess I am too worried for you…”
Nino lifted his head almost immediately. “Worried ?”
“I thought you are sick again.” Ohno pursed his lips.
Nino chuckled. “No, I am not. Thank you.”
Maybe he should start anew from now on. The new Ohno wasn’t bad too. He’s sweet and caring, and beside that, he’s human.
“Hey Nino, let’s sit over there” Ohno pointed at the floor beside the door. “I bought some bread”
They went there, and sat at the hard floor. Though it’s uncomfortable, but the scenery from where they sat was amazing. They could see the busy streets of Tokyo on the left, and a quiet and calm forest on their right.
“This is for you..” Ohno passed the beard to Nino before he unwrapped the wrapper of his bun.
Nino did the same too. He took a small bite each time, while Ohno had already finished his bun within 5 big bites.
“This bread is so delicious, right Nino?” Ohno asked as he looked at Nino had half of the bun left.
“Yea. Where did you buy it?”
“My maid bake it. She did it every day without fail.” He boasted.
Nino nodded his head. He'd forget that the man beside him was sort of rich.
“You know, I always wanted to open a bread shop.” Ohno continued. “Selling bread with the person I love and everyday without fail.” He turned and looked at Nino.
Nino felt a sudden warm inside him. The sun probably had made his eyes glowed bright, and he looked so beautiful with his tanned skin. Nino’s heart was beating faster and crazily inside. His face was hotter each second.
“Ah…” the younger man really didn’t know how to react. He tried to avoid him by standing up, but was stopped by Ohno’s hands.
“Nino…” He gazed into his eyes. “I don’t know why…but you make me feel so special.”
Nino swallowed his saliva down.
“You look so familiar, like I've known you for years. It feel so safe and calm in such a unknown place, and I really love it…”
Nino blinked his eyes for a couple of times. He was weak when it came to true feelings.
Ohno cupped Nino’s face with a hand and rubbed his cheek lightly. Nino stared at Ohno with his brown eyes. It’s been long since he had clearly see Ohno’s face. His face really didn’t change. The little mole on his forehead, his thin eyebrow, his sleepy eyes, his baby fat cheeks and his pouty lips, it still remain the same after a year. No doubt he is the real Satoshi.
Nino suddenly remembered, he had to hide his past away from him. He’s going to have a new life with Ohno. He couldn’t always think of Satoshi, the monster prince.
“Nino…” Ohno’s voice interrupted Nino’s thoughts. “Can I kiss you?”
The latter’s heart thundered inside and he hoped Ohno didn’t heard it. He nodded his head a few times before he heard a chuckle. Next, his lips was taken by Ohno. He closed his eyes and enjoyed being kissed by the older man. The lips that had kissed him before, Nino had never thought he would be kissed by Satoshi again.
Their lips parted and Nino was blushing. So did Ohno. But their eyes never left each other.
Ohno broke the silence after a few seconds. “Can we proceeded even further?” his ears were now redder than his face.
Further? Nino was surprised by his words. What does he mean? Sex? In school? But I am not prepared and I have no experience! All the dirty thoughts suddenly roamed inside Nino's brain.
“Nino? Nino?”
“huh?”
“Can we? “he asked permission again. “I want to be your lover.”
Nino’s mouth was slightly opened. He was the only one who was thinking dirty when the innocent young man was trying to confess to him. He felt sick by his thoughts. He wanted to dig a hole in the ground and hide there forever.
“What are you thinking just now? You are blushing crazily.” Ohno pursed his lips. “Oh! Don’t tell me you are thinking dirty….” Ohno smirked.
“I wasn’t. I swear I wasn’t-“
Nino felt his whole body lifted up and was then placed on top of Ohno’s lap.
“What are you doing?” Nino never knew Ohno had so much strength. “Ohno-kun- ”
Ohno gently placed a finger on Nino’s lips to silence Nino before leaning forward for another kiss. Nino shut his eyes immediately, while Ohno figured his way in Nino’s mouth. Nino gasped when he felt the tongue swirling inside him. Though he had experience before, both with Ohno, but he actually felt so much better and exciting.
Ohno withdrew out from his mouth and said, “Put your tongue inside of me…” before he went back to the position just now.
Nino stick his tongue inside Ohno. His tongue caught with Ohno’s and the battle was ferocious. Ohno was sucking his breath out, and not giving him a chance to even breath. His lips were sore by the sucking and Ohno wasn’t planning to stop. Ohno tiled his head to explore deeper in and it was sending shrives every part of Nino’s body, especially his heart. Nino was starting to sweat with all the action around him.
He had never seen Ohno doing something so exotic and breath-taking. He felt that his soul would just disperse out anytime.
Ohno broke the kiss when Nino was already out of breath. He heaved crazily, while Ohno cleaned his wet lips with his thumb. He smiled again and Nino felt his heart skipped a beat. Ohno just attracted him a lot, be it in his monster form or human form like now.
The bell rang and it was time to get back to their class. Nino quickly get out of Ohno’s lap and stood aside. If his blush didn’t go now, he’s sure Aiba would go ‘NINO IS BLUSHING, NINO IS BLUSHING’.
“Nino, let’s skip school!” Ohno pushed himself up and swiped the dirt of his pants.
“Eh, but Sakurai-san won’t allow-“
Ohno grabbed Nino’s hands and ran.
~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x
“Ohno-kun, wait” Nino followed behind Ohno, who later stopped running when they were pretty much away from the school.
They panted and breathed heavily, for a minute before they started laughing out loud. Nino don’t skipped lessons in school, he felt there’s no need for it.
“Oh! I need to call Sakurai” Ohno released his hand and reached for his phone.
The hand was gone, yet the warm was still there. He stood at the side, admiring his hand while Ohno was talking to Sho on the phone.
“So get my things home, I won’t be back early.” Ohno ended the conversation before heading to Nino. “Nino, let’s go.”
“Where?”
Ohno tilted his head “I don’t know. We will just go anywhere.”
“Alright…”
They walked along the district aimlessly but just enjoying each other accompany. Nino was doing all the talking while Ohno just listened and smiled. They were chatting when Ohno stopped at a small pushcart that caught his attention.
“Hi sir, are you looking for something?” The man asked.
Nino wasn’t sure what Ohno was looking for. There’s only necklace and some handicraft clays, probably made by the man. There were some paintings that Ohno was deeply immersed into. But it wasn’t interesting, until Nino caught his eyes on a sliver necklace. The necklace had just an alphabet ‘k’. The lower part of the letter was curved for 3 times while the top remain the same. He took up the necklace and looked clearly, and realized that there were some craving at the back.
Spiral. The word he saw. Was it because of the design of the letter? He wondered.
“Oh Sir, that necklace in your hand. It’s beautiful isn’t it?”
Nino nodded as he admired the necklace.
“It has a story behind it. Do you want to listen?”
“If it won’t bored me…”
The man laughed as he began. “This necklace belongs to a man. It's typically complicated love story by the way. His love was a foreigner who happened to be a prince in other country. They met in a rainy day, when the prince was separated from his men and lost. The man helped him a lot and got him back to his hotel. They decided to meet again since he was the prince’s first friend, and they go on for a week. The prince had big goals. He wants to become a kind king in his country, while the man, he wants to become a good artist. They started having feeling for each other at their first meeting and it grew stronger each time they meet.”
Nino chuckled while Ohno listened with a smile on his face.
“Of course the prince needs to go back. They were sad and vowed to meet each other at the bridge where the man first met him on his last day. Morning came and the man went to the bridge. He waited and waited for the man yet, he didn't come as promised. Has the man left, he thought and was about to give up when he saw the man, in suit running towards him. ”
Nino clenched the necklace tight in his hand. The man was really a good story teller. He made the story was so emotional.
The man continued. “ The man thought that he was the prince but it happened to be the Prince’s servant. He had told him that the prince had left the country and want to say that he’s sorry for not able to come. The man immediately broke down and cried. However, the servant continued. The prince aimed to be a King for now, and wanted the man to give him 5 years to became one. He will then meet him on the same bridge and this time, he won’t just go back alone. He passed him the necklace and told him to use this to recognize each other. ”
Nino’s heart ached. It was quite similar to his and Satoshi’s story.
“5 years later. The man waited for the prince at the bridge with the necklace. It was not long he came, totally a new person. The prince, or the king, recognized the necklace and proposed on the bridge while the man agreed without even thinking. They will now live on together.”
“I see…” Ohno muttered.
Nino tried to hold his tears and joked. “Are you sure this isn’t a make-up story. Then why is it a letter ‘K’ and not others.”
“The prince given name is Kazu. And the word spiral means that their love was so complicated yet they will be able to get together again.“
Nino looked at the necklace again. The prince had the same name as him. That was such a coincidence.
“It's 5000 yen for this necklace by the way.”
“5000 yen!” Nino screamed. “This is so expensive, and probably the story is faked.”
“I ensure you that it’s real.”
Nino ignored the seller. “Ohno-kun, let’s go.” He left, while Ohno stood there for a while before leaving.
~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x~x
It was late and Ohno was walking Nino home, since he stayed so near the shopping district. Nino had a lot of missed calls from Jun. That man got paranoid too easily. He called him back and told him that he had reached home and would be back soon. He ended his called and saw Ohno fidgeting with the pocket of his pants.
“What's wrong?”Nino asked.
Ohno took his hands out and stretched his arms. “Do you think the story we heard just now is real?”
Nino gave a thought. “It seemed half real, half fake.”
“well, it's real.”Ohno smiled as he walked a little faster than Nino.
Nino paced his speed faster and caught up with him. “How do you know?”
“Well… Actually the man from the pushcart is the prince, or you can say the king.”
“Eh!” Nino raised his voice.
“He was helping his lover to sell away his things, before they leave this country.”
Nino covered his mouth. “Oh my god. I said something bad to the king.”
“So you realized it finally... But he said it's okay. He told us that we are the first to listen the whole story. Most people won't even bothered.” Ohno laughed.
Nino snorted but then laughed again. He was actually quite happy for them when he heard the end of the story. Though he's quite jealous, but he wished the couple stay in love with each other always.
They walked through the park and then reached Nino’s house. They stopped and faced each other. Both didn't know what to say, but just stared at each other.
Nino decided to break the silence. He need to go back, if not Jun will start calling again. “I..erm… I’m going up now.”
Ohno nodded, though he looked unwillingly. Nino was about to leave when Ohno stopped him.
“Wait.” Ohno reached for his necklace and took it out.
He walked to Nino and put it on for him. Nino was surprised by it. The necklace was supposed to his only thing from his parents. And not only that, it supposed to protect him.
“Hey, isn’t this your-“
“Nino, I want you keep it. You will keep my necklace…” He then dug his pocket and took out another necklace, the one that they saw early. “And...” He wore it immediately and looked at Nino. “I will keep yours… So we won’t be separated anymore.”
Nino chuckled with his eyes brimming with tears.This man here is so silly “ You bought it? Idiot! Since you bought it, how can it be mine?"
“Hmm… Let’s just treat this as yours. It shared the same name as you… Kazu..”
Nino looked at his neck again. Ohno’s willing to give him his charm. He should really start to move on and forget about the sad past. This double confirm his decision, he won’t hesitated any more when Sho asked him again.
He plunged onto him and hugged Ohno tight. He didn’t care whoever was looking at him. He wanted to find out more new things about him. He wanted to open a bread shop with him. He wanted to start loving the new Ohno again.
“So…” Ohno whispered in his ears. “Does that mean we are dating?”
Nino didn’t replied him but smiled. He should know what he meant. Ohno broke the hug and cheered. He took Nino’s hands and kissed it softly.
“I will never let go out this hands”
Finishing the sentence, he leaned forward and gave him a kiss. Nino’s face was reddened.
“Thanks Nino.”
“I know…” Nino pushed Ohno away lightly. “Now go back! or Sakurai-san will be worried!”
“Oh! I forgot about him!” Ohno hit his head. “Then, see you tomorrow in school…”
“Umm… bye.”
Nino made sure that Ohno was gone before he made his way home. He thought, he must be the luckiest person in the world now.
He made a turn and his eyes were widened in shock.
Jun was standing there, watching.
I can't be honest (I can't fall apart)

“Eh, but Sakurai-san won’t allow-“
Ohno grabbed Nino’s hands and ran.

The prince aimed to be a King for now, and wanted the man to give him 5 years to became one. He will then meet him on the same bridge and this time, he won’t just go back alone. He passed him the necklace and told him to use this to recognize each other. ”
Nino’s heart ached. It was quite similar to his and Satoshi’s story.
“5 years later. The man waited for the prince at the bridge with the necklace. It was not long he came, totally a new person. The prince, or the king, recognized the necklace and proposed on the bridge while the man agreed without even thinking. They will now live on together.”
“I see…” Ohno muttered.
Nino tried to hold his tears and joked. “Are you sure this isn’t a make-up story. Then why is it a letter ‘K’ and not others.”
“The prince given name is Kazu. And the word spiral means that their love was so complicated yet they will be able to get together again.“
Nino looked at the necklace again. The prince had the same name as him. That was such a coincidence.
“It's 5000 yen for this necklace by the way.”
“5000 yen!” Nino screamed. “This is so expensive, and probably the story is faked.”
“I ensure you that it’s real.”
Nino ignored the seller. “Ohno-kun, let’s go.” He left, while Ohno stood there for a while before leaving.

It was late and Ohno was walking Nino home, since he stayed so near the shopping district. Nino had a lot of missed calls from Jun. That man got paranoid too easily. He called him back and told him that he had reached home and would be back soon. He ended his called and saw Ohno fidgeting with the pocket of his pants.
“What's wrong?”Nino asked.
Ohno took his hands out and stretched his arms. “Do you think the story we heard just now is real?”
Nino gave a thought. “It seemed half real, half fake.”
“well, it's real.”Ohno smiled as he walked a little faster than Nino.
Nino paced his speed faster and caught up with him. “How do you know?”
“Well… Actually the man from the pushcart is the prince, or you can say the king.”
“Eh!” Nino raised his voice.
“He was helping his lover to sell away his things, before they leave this country.”
Nino covered his mouth. “Oh my god. I said something bad to the king.”
“So you realized it finally... But he said it's okay. He told us that we are the first to listen the whole story. Most people won't even bothered.” Ohno laughed.
Nino snorted but then laughed again. He was actually quite happy for them when he heard the end of the story. Though he's quite jealous, but he wished the couple stay in love with each other always.
They walked through the park and then reached Nino’s house. They stopped and faced each other. Both didn't know what to say, but just stared at each other.
Nino decided to break the silence. He need to go back, if not Jun will start calling again. “I..erm… I’m going up now.”
Ohno nodded, though he looked unwillingly. Nino was about to leave when Ohno stopped him.
“Wait.” Ohno reached for his necklace and took it out.
He walked to Nino and put it on for him. Nino was surprised by it. The necklace was supposed to his only thing from his parents. And not only that, it supposed to protect him.
“Hey, isn’t this your-“
“Nino, I want you keep it. You will keep my necklace…” He then dug his pocket and took out another necklace, the one that they saw early. “And...” He wore it immediately and looked at Nino. “I will keep yours… So we won’t be separated anymore.”
Nino chuckled with his eyes brimming with tears.This man here is so silly “ You bought it? Idiot! Since you bought it, how can it be mine?"
“Hmm… Let’s just treat this as yours. It shared the same name as you… Kazu..”
Nino looked at his neck again. Ohno’s willing to give him his charm. He should really start to move on and forget about the sad past. This double confirm his decision, he won’t hesitated any more when Sho asked him again.
He plunged onto him and hugged Ohno tight. He didn’t care whoever was looking at him. He wanted to find out more new things about him. He wanted to open a bread shop with him. He wanted to start loving the new Ohno again.
“So…” Ohno whispered in his ears. “Does that mean we are dating?”
Nino didn’t replied him but smiled. He should know what he meant. Ohno broke the hug and cheered. He took Nino’s hands and kissed it softly.
“I will never let go out this hands”
Finishing the sentence, he leaned forward and gave him a kiss. Nino’s face was reddened.
“Thanks Nino.”
“I know…” Nino pushed Ohno away lightly. “Now go back! or Sakurai-san will be worried!”
“Oh! I forgot about him!” Ohno hit his head. “Then, see you tomorrow in school…”
“Umm… bye.”
Nino made sure that Ohno was gone before he made his way home. He thought, he must be the luckiest person in the world now.
He made a turn and his eyes were widened in shock.
Jun was standing there, watching.
I can't be honest (I can't fall apart)
