Chapter 3
Ohno was standing in front of Nino’s apartment. After hearing about Nino, and since until midnight he hadn’t seen Nino yet, he decided to ask Sho Nino’s address. If Nino didn’t come to see him, then he would come there to see Nino. It seemed like he had made Nino wait for him too long… Ohno grimaced. Since when? It was nearly six months after that accident, and he totally didn’t remember Nino at all. How could he? Now he could understand why he always accidentally met Nino wherever he went - Surely Nino was looking at him when he didn’t notice… That thought made Ohno blushed slightly, he didn’t notice that he was smiling for the first time at that night.
“Ninomiya Kazunari” Ohno whispered when seeing the name on the door. So that was his name. It was a cool name, Ohno thought with a smile. “Ninomiya Kazunari” He repeated. Somehow he felt really familiar with this name, a little warmth spread inside him when he read the name over and over. Yes… He was sure that he heard this name somewhere, just seeing his name made Ohno felt happy and relieved simultaneously.
Ohno’s heart beat wildly in his chest when he pressed the door bell. A nice sound came out. He waited patiently for about a minute.
Noone came. He frowned and pressed it again, this time about two or three times. Then he waited. But there really was noone.
Might be he was sleeping, Ohno sighed. Might be he wasn’t at home. Many reasons, but Ohno couldn’t stop himself thinking that Nino was dodging him. That thought made Ohno feel so suffered as he sat down in front of the apartment, leaned against the door and squeezed his eyes in frustration.
Time flew slowly, all the sound he could hear now was the noise of a comedy program from the next apartment.
He heard the footstep in the lobby. Ohno almost felt asleep when he realized there was someone coming. He opened his eyes and raised his head, to see a flabbergasted Nino who was staring at him confusingly. Before Nino could say anything, Ohno stood up and smiled sheepishly.
- Nino-san…!
Nino gulped. He didn’t expect Ohno to be here at this time right in fronf of his apartment.
- Wha… What are you doing here? - He stammered.
- Er… visit you, I guess?
- What…? - Nino breathed in disbelief.
- You didn’t come to the appointment today so I come to meet you - Ohno bit his lips. He was worried that Nino would ignore him as he always did.
- What appointment? - Nino narrowed his eyes.
- Er… I asked Aiba-chan to send it to you - Ohno mumbled - that today I want to… meet you, you know.
- No, I didn’t know!!! - Nino rolled his eyes - That baka!!! Where did he put that? I’ve never gotten anything which told me that you want to meet me!!!
- Eh…? He said that he put on your mailbox - Ohno pointed - And he was sure you had read it…
- No!! - Nino groaned - I never check my mailbox, it’s a mess! My God, Aiba, I’m going to kill him as soon as I see him again!!!
- So… that’s not… you’re mad at me so you didn’t come? - Ohno asked hopefully.
- Of course not! - Nino turned away to hide his blushed face - I would run there immediately if I knew that!!
A big smile appeared on Ohno’s face that made Nino felt warmer. He took out his key and opened the door.
- Come in… It’s really cold here - Nino murmured. And he stepped inside with a relieved Ohno behind.
---------------------------------------------------
Ohno looked around the room. It was messy, with many kinds of video games on the floor, and the cards were everywhere. There were some damaged cards in the trash, and Ohno suddenly said.
- You still do magic, ne?
Nino immediately turned back to look at Ohno. His eyes were widened as he tried to hide his happiness, but Ohno could tell they were sparkling deep inside.
- You remember that? - Nino asked in disbelief - I think you… well…
- Eh? - Ohno knitted his eyebrowns - You do magic, don’t you?
- Yes, but… - Nino chuckled - … I think you forgot it.
- Ah - Ohno smiled - Because the cards are everywhere, so I think you are practicing some new tricks, ne.
- Yes… - Nino looked at Ohno softly, and Ohno could feel his stomach fluttered - … Come on, sit wherever you want.
Ohno came to the sofa and sat down, when Nino was busying himself with the coffee machine. Ohno raised his head and said with a smile.
- I had enough coffee today, you know. I’ve been waiting for you all day at a coffee shop!
Nino failed when he tried to hide his smile. This was the first time Ohno saw Nino’s smile. It was bright. Nice. Very nice… And warm. A familiar warmth. Ohno wished he could keep this smile in his mind forever…
- So… - Nino gave Ohno a cup of tea - … what do you want to talk about, Ohchan?
Ohno handled the cup in both hands, felt the hot steam at his face. He murmured.
- I… just want to sorry, Nino - Ohno lowered his head - I said something wrong… And you accidentally heard it. I really sorry about that!
Nino chuckled sadly when he looked at Ohno’s worried face.
- No… That’s not your fault, Ohchan.
- That’s my fault! - Ohno lifted his eyes to meet Nino’s - It’s my fault… to forget all about you, Nino. I meant… it was suffering, wasn’t it? To be … ignored by me… you must be so hurt…
- Yes - Nino said slowly - it was terribly hurt. But that was my choice. So you don’t need to worry about me, Ohchan… You need to be healthful first.
- I am now! - Ohno’s eyes started to be filled with water - You don’t need to be that concern about me, Nino. Why don’t you just tell me…? At the first time…?
- I’m sure that those two baka had told you the reason - Nino smiled miserably - I just can’t see you in pain. That is the best for you, that you never need to recall me again.
- No! - Ohno shouted in desperation - I want to remember you, Nino!
A silence appeared. Nino didn’t say anything, just looked at Ohno quietly. Ohno stared back. He reallly meaned it. That he didn’t want to forget, he didn’t want to see Nino like this. He wanted to remember. He wanted to love Nino again.
Even though it meaned his brain might be broken or anything.
- I’m sure you still not remember me now… Ohchan? - Nino finally asked.
- Yes… - Ohno cried - But I really want to… Whenever I want to think about you, my head hurt so I couldn’t, but…
- So don’t - Nino said firmly - I don’t want that hurt you.
- Nino…!
- I said don’t - Nino looked at Ohno with an anxious eyes - What if you’d faint again? I don’t want to be the cause of your hurt!
Ohno stared at Nino. His eyes were pooled as he looked at the other’s eyes, which were watered as well. They didn’t know what to say with each other, time passed slowly in the room. Then Ohno stood up, came to sit beside Nino. His hand stretch out to reach Nino’s, hold it gently. He leaned to Nino’s shoulder, and shut his eyes, tried to feel the warmth of Nino. He could tell that Nino was trembling. His hand squeezed, and he could feel Nino squeezing back. He smiled softly, enjoyed the moment. Somehow, Ohno felt this was right. Everything was right, he was here, beside Nino, holding hand and listening to each other’s heartbeat. He could hear Nino’s breath and felt his own breath was faster, too.
Then he felt Nino was lifting his head up, cupping his face in his palm. Ohno was looking at Nino’s eyes, and he could see the deep desire of Nino. He could feel Nino’s breath when he leaned closer and put his lips on his.
Time seemed to stop with Ohno. He shut his eyes, felt the warmth from Nino’s lips, and felt his own arms tightened Nino in an embrace.
Nino stroked Ohno’s cheeks gently as he deepened the kiss. He was waiting for too long, this moment, Nino couldn’t control himself. He needed Ohno, all he wanted right now was him. He trailed his hand down to Ohno’s button and started to undo it. But, at a moment, he felt Ohno was shivering. Ohno didn’t kiss him back, and he was staying still, just let Nino do whatever he wanted. Nino stopped and sighed. They parted lightly and Ohno opened his eyes in confusion.
- Why… did you stop? - Ohno breathed.
- You don’t need to force yourself, Ohchan - Nino gave him a weak smile - This’s not time… right? With you, I’m just a stranger after all, ne - He said as he buttoned Ohno’s shirt.
- No! - Ohno whispered - Please stop saying that… You’re not a stranger with me!
- But not a lover either, right? - Nino mumbled - You just do this with your lover, Ohchan…
- But… You are…
- I love you, Ohchan - Nino said sadly - But you don’t… at least now. So don’t force yourself to let me do anything just because you feel pity for me, okay?
- I’m not… - Ohno protested weakly.
- You’re a bad liar - Nino smiled softly - Come on, I’m okay with that…
- You’re a bad liar too - Ohno pouted when he saw Nino blinking his eyes.
They laughed a little the first time. Ohno wanted to tell Nino that he had some feelings toward him, but he just couldn’t. Nino seemed not believe in his feeling anymore, so he needed to find an appropriate moment to tell that… And more than that, he wanted to confirm it to himself first. He sat at the sofa when Nino called him.
- Ohchan? Want to see my new tricks? - Nino asked from the corner of the room.
- Yes - Ohno smiled. Might be he needed to spend more time with Nino, to see how to love this man again. He decided.
--------------------------------------------------
It was early in the morning when Nino woke up. He felt a strange warmth in his back, and he turned around to see Ohno’s arms wrapping around his waist. The other guy was still sleeping, his lips curved as if he was dreaming some nice thing. Nino smiled.This was the first in a long time he had ever been happy in the morning. All he had felt at the moment he woke up was Ohno’s face when he asked him “who are you?” with a sheepish smile. That hurt Nino so much that he couldn’t really smile for a long time.
He looked at Ohno’s face. He was really cute when sleeping, Nino chuckled. His hand found the way to Ohno’s hair, fondled it gently. Ohno moved lightly and nuzzled in Nino’s chest, still snoring.
Last night they ended up with decision that Ohno would sleep on Nino’s bed, and Nino could sleep on the sofa. But after twenty minutes later, Ohno felt he couldn’t sleep at all and made way to Nino’s sofa and insisted Nino to sleep with him. Nino, somehow, couldn’t stand with Ohno’s puppy eyes and he agreed to share the bed with Ohno. But he would must control himself so much, Nino sighed. It was hard to sleep beside the person you love without touching him, Nino thought. But Ohno couldn’t read his mind, even when Nino had turned his back to Ohno, his arms still wrapped around Nino’s waist and his breath still made Nino felt hot. He turned back to Ohno and hold him tightly, they cuddled up until falling asleep.
Nino sat up, tried his best to not waking Ohno, but Ohno opened his eyes and gave Nino a light kiss on his cheek, made Nino blushed a little.
- You woke up already? - He looked away to hide his smile.
- Yes. Since you touch my hair - Ohno smiled sleepily - Ohayo, Nino-chan.
- Ohayo - Nino stroked Ohno’s cheek - It’s early, you know. You have anything to do today?
- Well… not so important - Ohno mumbled. He buried his face into Nino’s pillow - I don’t want to go to work today…
- What, you baka - Nino patted Ohno’s head slightly - Why don’t you want to go to work?
- I want to stay with you… - Ohno murmured with a barely audible voice.
- But I need to go to work then… - Nino looked away and reach his shirt on the hang - You better work too, Ohchan.
- I’m not in the mood… - Ohno pouted. He reached Nino’s sleeve and tug lightly, refused to let it go - … Nino?
Nino sighed. He had never been able to refuse Ohno anything. Whenever he used his pout and his insistent voice with those puppy eyes, that was the time for Nino’s defeat. He sat down, smiled at Ohno.
- You’ll pay for my salary today, Ohchan.
- Well, how much?
- How much do you think?
- Er… 1500 yen? - Ohno shrugged.
- You think I’m that cheap? - Nino arched his eyebrowns.
- No… But that’s all I have - Ohno smile shyly.
- You really are an idiot- Nino laughed when he hugged Ohno tightly. Smelt the familiar scent soaked in his body, Nino mumbled - I really missed you…
- Me too… - Ohno shut his eyes and hugged Nino back.
- Liar - Nino chuckled - You don’t even remember me!
- No… but I missed you - Ohno smiled sheepishly - I always felt like I was lack of something… I can’t remember the person, but I remember the feeling, Nino.
- Really? - Nino blushed lightly - So what are you feeling right now?
- Peace… Warmth.. Familiar.. Nice… - Ohno listed, made Nino hold him even tighter. He could feel Nino’s tear wetting his shoulder. He startled - Did I say something wrong?
- No… - Nino mumbled, his voice was trembling - .. You’re really an idiot…
- Er… Am I?
- Yes…
