Title: The Weird Ohmiya Ways (aka The Fic Where "Because it is Nino" is the Standard Answer to Every Question)
Pairing:Ohmiya (and gen Sho/Jun/Aiba)
Rating: PG (for indecent sitting posture)
Disclaimer: They belong to each other
Summary: What conclusion will Sho Jun and Aiba draw at the way Ohmiya roll?
Arashi is notorious for their incredible group dynamics. Most in the Jimusho who are not as eloquently composed would prefer expressing their views on Arashi in short clipped sentences such as, “Total gay shit, man.” And the less crude, “They are very..uh..close” followed by suggested eyeball goggling.
Arashi would laugh at the lesser rainbow-ey beings around them and think how ore-sama (Arashi is one entity after) far excels any other. However unbeknownst to the whole world and sometimes even to themselves there are five different parts to Arashi. Each knows the other four fractions with perfect precision.
However, one aspect, particularly the interaction between two particular fractions, really baffles the other three. Their interaction is uncharacteristic to both of them and the reason behind their inexplicable closeness is even more so a mystery.
The two would be Ohno and Nino, currently being not so subtly spied on by Sho, Jun and Aiba and currently curled around the couch in an almost painful tangle of limbs; Nino’s head resting on Ohno’s hip playing his DS as the latter used Nino’s hip as an arm rest while reading a fishing magazine.
Odd, very odd indeed.
Nino was known to be extremely edgy during his bouts of intense DS yet Ohno’s hip (in fact any part of Ohno) was always welcome to him in times of extreme snappiness. The others watched in awe as Nino detached one hand from where they previously suspected he had glued to the DS buttons, to reach over and scratch Ohno’s foot upon his request.
Once done, Ohno bumped his knee against Nino’s head in means of (as the three suspected) a thank you to which Nino replied with a bump of his own as means of (again as the others suspected) a welcome.
Ohno’s transition to face the back of the couch for a nap did little to thwart Nino from his gaming experience, who just lifted his head as Ohno shifted and just as easily settled into his fluffy ass once he was done.
That was however quite acceptable in the book of “Weird Ways Of The Ohmiya” the other three felt compelled to draw up after a few years of being together.
The mystery that called for utmost caution would be why Ohmiya would just sit and do nothing. Ohno would sit on the couch and twiddle his fingers (very Ohno) and Nino would press up against Ohno and do the same, sometimes twiddling Ohno’s fingers instead of his own.
The rest of the three would try not to stare confusedly, forcing in some conversation instead, hoping the two would join them, no such luck prevailed.
Sho once walked in on Ohmiya sitting idly only to realize it wasn’t Ohmiya but actually Jun and Aiba.
“What the hell are you doing?”
“Trying to figure out what the hell Ohno and Nino do when they sit together.” Aiba replied helpfully while he tried to imitate Ohno’s blank face.
“Oh...” Sho said pulling up a chair and sitting across Jun and Aiba.
Sho blinked and Aiba blinked back and Jun...didn’t blink...was he dead?
Sho started panicking, a sweat drop rolled painfully slow down Aiba’s temple, Jun was still not blinking and Sho was just panicking more.
Aiba suddenly sprang up from the couch, startling Jun out of his stupor and Sho sighed out of relief.
“I need to go to the bathroom!” And Aiba rushed out.
Jun blinked at the dust Aiba left behind him.
Sho went slack against his chair...Jun was blinking.
Oh
THANK
GOD.
Next day when Nino and Ohno were just sitting, the other three pulled chairs upto them and just sat there with them, thinking that either they’d be awkward enough to start talking or this activity(or lack thereof) could become a group thing.
Aiba rushed to the bathroom after five minutes.
And Jun grunted in annoyance, “Oi Ohno!”
Ohno looked up expectantly and Jun hesitated and looked to Sho before turning to Ohno again, “So...do you wear the same ear everyday to shoot for Kaibutsu-kun or is it a new one each day?”
“Re-use.”
“And Nino!” this time it was Sho who predictably could ask just one thing, “played a good game recently?”
Nino looked at Sho incredulously, “I sent you a text after beating my game yesterday!” He said looking annoyed and Ohno startled as though shocked at the loud noise beside him. He frowned looking like he might crawl away and hide his face in the cushions.
Nino slumped back against Ohno.
Aiba came in just then, looking quite pushed to his limits, “Why the hell don’t you talk!!” and quite direct about his problem.
Nino and Ohno both stared at Aiba like he had grown another head.
“We talk!” They said in unison. After another round of blink-filled silence Sho valiantly stood up for his highly disgruntled friend, “But you don’t!”
This time Ohno and Nino looked at each other, “I guess...Oh-chan doesn’t like talking.”
“Yes Nino, but you do!” Sho countered
“Yes, but Oh-chan doesn’t so what’s the point?”
“Well you could talk to us.”
“Hey even you guys don’t offer.”
Sho was stumped...that’s right whenever Ohno and Nino would sit together they would stare most indecently but keep their respectable distance, “Well you’re with Ohno!”
“Yeah.”
Ohno started picking his nose.
“You guys never started a conversation so I left it at that.”
Jun stepped in since Sho looked like he would soon tear out his hair, “Listen Nino, you’re with a person, in this case Ohno and we don’t talk to you because you know you chose his company but if you have company you should talk to them right?”
“Yeah but Oh-chan doesn’t like talking.” Nino repeated slowly.
“Then what’s the point of company?”
Ohno cleared his throat, “We like it.”
“But you guys don’t talk how could you LIKE it? Isn’t it the same as sitting by yourself?”
“No.” Ohno stated simply.
“Why?”
“Because Nino is with me.”
Aiba ran out of the room crying and Sho started shaking with frustration.
“Why does Nino have to be with you?” Jun tried one last time.
“He doesn’t.”
“Then?”
“I like sitting with him doofus.” Nino threw a dirty look at Jun.
“And I like sitting with Nino.” Ohno backed up his sitting-mate with a smile.
“I still don’t get why you like it though...” Jun got up with a tired sigh.
Ohno turned to Nino and wrapped his arms around his waist, “Because it’s Nino.” He said snuggling into Nino’s hair making him giggle.
Sho and Jun shared a tired look before coaxing Aiba back into the room.
The next day found Nino sitting on a chair reading a script while Ohno was drinking tea opposite him, his fingers gripping into the front of Ohno’s shirt, pinching his nipples.
Sho, Jun and Aiba looked at the two idols bonding in their very weird fashion and had one lost shot at trying to figure them out.
“Do you think we should ask Nino why he’s doing that?”
“Do you think it’ll be any use?”
“It’s probably because he likes doing it...”
Aiba stared at Jun as he leaned against the doorframe and suddenly pinched his nipples.
“OI!”
And earned himself a hard ring-decorated smack on his head.
Rubbing his hurt head he bounded after Sho in his vain attempt to learn the Ohmiya ways.
