The last few hours were a daze.
My mother.
Satoshi.
Engagement.
OH MY FREAKING GOD I’M ENGAGED TO SATOSHI!
I stared dumbly as my mother.
“Ninomiya Kazunari you have some explaining to do.”
“Me? I have to explain? You’re the one who went behind my back and engaged me! You do the explaining!”
“With the man you love! And don’t use that tone with me!” She pinched my ears and twisted it hard.
“Ow. Ow.”
“What’s with keeping secrets from your mother? Not coming home for WEEKS! You came out to Satoshi’s parents but not to me? It’s a good thing Mrs Ohno had come to me to discuss the nuptials or else you probably wouldn’t have invited. MY only son, where have I gone wrong in raising you?”
With each passing sentence her grip on my ear intensified and my ears started burning.
“Oi, woman! Let GO!”
One last painful twist and she did. I think she tore my ear off. I felt my heated little ear to reassure myself that it was alright.
“You know you keep on saying ‘marriage’ but mother I don’t think it’s legal.”
“Well, of course it isn’t but my only son is gay and my only daughter isn’t even interested in finding a partner. I work with what I have. Ninomiya!”
Ohno Mama came out from the kitchen and rubbed my aching ears, “Ah Ninomiya-san, you shouldn’t be so hard on your little boy. He’s been selflessly taking care of my Satoshi.”
Oh, dear woman. You have no idea.
Suddenly Mina had linked her arms with mine.
“Mama, can I borrow Kazunari-kun for a while?”
Mina pulled me to the bathroom and there seated in the bath tub was Aiba with her two kids flailing about around him.
“Eh? Why is he here?”
“Ah...Aiba-san...I hadn’t noticed.”
“Mina! You invited him didn’t you?”
She looked reluctant for a while, “Fine! I did! I was getting lonely plotting all by myself since you’re the idiot on Amy’s side!”
“I’m not on Amy’s side. I just couldn’t refuse Satoshi!”
“And who’s side is he on?”
“Fine I get it!”
“Ah! Aiba Masaki desu! Aiba stood up almost crushing Tachiko
“We know, try not to kill my babies, Aiba-san”
“Hai!”Aiba sat back down and cooed at Shoutaro.
“So Kazu-kun, what did you think of Plan A?” Mina asked smug
“Complete and utter farce!”
Mina gasped and hit me upside the head, “How dare you? At least I’m not shoving Satoshi into Amy’s arms!”
“I don’t need to shove Satoshi into anyone’s arms! He’s already there!”
“Okay, calm down. I think it’ll be good you two get married, Satoshi will have a commitment to you then.”
“Commitment? WHAT COMMITMENT? It’s not EVEN LEGAL! He can dump me the DAY after we get married and no one can do anything about it!”
“My brother is an idiot but he won’t go against mother and dump you.”
“Oh great emotional blackmail.”
When Mina ignored the comment I continued, “But then he’d just go meet Amy in secret like he’s doing RIGHT NOW!”
Mina startled at that and hit my forehead again, “You’re both idiots! Why don’t you protest, make him stay?”
“Protest? I’m here ENGAGED to him BECAUSE he wanted to show his girlfriend was better than me, so I just suddenly say ‘don’t meet Amy anymore Satoshi because I decided that I really do want you for myself’”
“YES!”
Suddenly a giggle erupted from the tub.
“WHY THE HELL IS HE HERE!?”
Mina sighed, “Because he’s gay. He knows how to please a man, it’s an invaluable resource!”
Aiba nodded despite having Shoutaro nibbling on his hair and Tachiko clambering over his back, “I’ve been with my current boyfriend for the past 5 years” he said proudly, “And I give one of the best blowjobs!”
I snorted. I could think of a person to go to if I wanted to learn how to give blowjobs. My mind kind of involuntarily wandered off to the guy from the club who’s into S&M.
“Okay, even I give good blowjobs and I can even prove it!” Mina sounded.
I chuckled, “Getting a blowjob from you would almost be like getting one from Satoshi.” Mina frowned and hit me again.
“No way am I similar to that slob of a being!”
“Fine, so why are we here?”
“To discuss Plan B!”
“Plan B?”
“Dig dirt on Amy!”
“YAAAY!” Aiba cheered making Shoutaro giggle...or cry...I couldn’t tell.
“No way! That’s too underhanded!”
“Underhanded? What about what they’re doing?”
“I don’t know. I agreed to HELP Satoshi but actually sabotaging their plan like a double spy. I think the guilt would kill me.”
“Their plan sucks ours is better. But as long as Satoshi is supporting Amy it’ll be difficult for you to weasel in. As soon as their distanced BOOM! Enter Kazunari.”
“I...I don’t think I can.” I replied nervously.
“C’mon Ninomiya-san, it’s a very common thing and this girl isn’t actually right for this guy is she?” Aiba asked curiously.
“I don’t know but she seems decent. I don’t feel comfortable tarnishing her image like that.” For all I knew maybe she’s the perfect one for Satoshi. The one who could make him happy. That thought haunts me so badly I sometimes choke up on it.
“Kazu-kun...” Mina sighed, “Kazu-kun, no matter how nice she isn’t better suited to my brother than you are. No one is so please don’t lose hope.”
“It’s just that Mina, I don’t want Satoshi to love me because he can’t find anyone better but I want Satoshi to love me because he’d want no one better. Maybe...maybe that’s how much he loves Amy. Maybe...maybe we’re just wasting out time.”
Mina looked troubled, “Fine Kazu-kun, if you want we’ll discard Plan B BUT no way are we discarding this operation. If nothing, we’ll prove that Amy is the perfect girl for Satoshi and at least then you’ll not have regrets in the future.”
I grabbed Mina’s shoulders, “Mina, please. I don’t feel comfortable and it’s just no use. Let’s try instead to give Satoshi what he wants.”
“When Satoshi was thirteen I tricked him into joining dance class instead telling him it was pre training for baseball and he’s a choreographer now. I know what’s good for my little brother! And it’s not her!”
I couldn’t help but chuckle, “Always the devil weren’t you? Give Amy a chance. Please.”
Mina’s eyes softened and there was something sad about them like the spontaneity in them had suddenly disappeared, “Ninomiya-kun, living your life in regret is one of the worst things you can do,” her soft hands slid up to my face and her fingers slid into my hair just a little bit so that her nails could scrape at my scalp, “If you quit now you’ll regret it and I will too because I let it happen and I might be selfish but I don’t want any more of that.” She smiled hollowly and her hands slid down my face slowly before finally slipping away.
“Do it for me.” And she left.
Aiba probably sensed the meeting was over and stepped out of the tub with his two companions tucked under each armpit, “She...is weird. Seems really intent on this.”
“I know...”
Mina startled me, her image of the happy, proactive mother started to change in my eyes. I didn’t understand what she meant. How would she benefit out of Satoshi and me becoming an item?
I held the door, still deep in thought, open for Aiba as his arms were occupied and he got out of the bathroom with his two flailing captives wriggling and squealing.
When I followed Aiba out I saw him staring at Satoshi who was just about to enter his room which was down the hall.
It was an awkward moment and Satoshi’s frown seemed to deepen when Aiba leaned down and kissed my cheek with a “bye bye Nino-chan”
Having nowhere else to go I shuffled over to Satoshi and slipped in through the door he was holding ajar.
“What were you two doing?”
“Huh?”
“In the bathroom?”
“Uh...I don’t know...he was uh...” Well what can I say? Plotting your breakup with your girlfriend. That would sound lovely.
“We were playing with the kids.”
“In the bathroom?”
Satoshi was starting to annoy me. What the hell? You disappear with Amy after the party and you ask me what I’ve been doing around the house? Do I ask you what you do when you disappear?
“You heard me.”
Satoshi looked dissatisfied at the answer, “So what? You’re gay now?”
I would reel around and punch him only I AM GAY and for YOU, you retarded dancing piece of shit, “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
Satoshi’s annoyed expression quickly dissipated to be replaced by a guilty one, “Sorry, this engagement’s got me really stressed out. I just haven’t seen you with a girl for one hell of a long time.”
“Well I’m engaged to YOU.”
Satoshi chuckled and shook his head at the floor, “Yeah...yeah you are. Stupid right?”
Sure. Stupid. Maybe I’m stupid for thinking my dream is coming true, “Yeah I guess. Why are you stressed out? I thought you went with Amy to ‘relax’” I didn’t mean to sound sarcastic, honestly.
“Relax?” Satoshi snorted as he dropped back down on the bed, “we’ve been fighting all this time. She didn’t think we’d be engaged.” Satoshi suddenly took my hand and pulled me to lie down beside him, “I’m really sorry I dragged you into this.”
“It’s okay Toshi I’m glad to help.” I brought my hand to his face and he closed his eyes with a sigh.
“I’m so tired.”
So am I Satoshi.
I dragged the hand on his cheek behind his ear a scratched there; a gesture I knew greatly relaxed him. I always thought Satoshi looked like a particularly lazy happy dog.
After another tirade of happy sighs Satoshi took my hands in both of his and brought it to his chest, “I wish you were a girl, Nino.”
Baka, what’s that supposed to mean?
We were lying on our sides facing each other, my hand splayed across the distance between us and clutched to his chest.
I felt so satisfied, like I could never want anything more. Did Satoshi not feel even a little bit of this?
His eyes were so droopy and expressionless that I could only tell that he wanted sleep but my hand was still clutched in his. Was this a start?
The silence was broken by an awkward giggle outside the door that sounded very suspiciously like Ohno’s mom and mine. They were always kind of close, as to-be relatives they must have been having a ball.
The serene expression on Ohno’s face was gone and his face was crinkled in mirth as he let out a few giggles, “What are they expecting us to do in here?”
I ducked my head to hide the burning cheeks. I was probably blushing but that only made Satoshi laugh harder as I felt a thumb brush my cheeks, “Aw Nino, look you’re blushing.” I slapped his hand off earning a pout
“What? You look really cute.”
“You look cute pouting.” There I finally said it and I felt really relieved. It was one of the many things I was bursting to say like “I LOVE YOU” or “DAMN SATOSHI YOUR ASS!” or “SHIT YOUR PRETTY PRETTY MOUTH”
I felt just that much lighter especially when Satoshi smiled and tickled me to get me to start laughing. I hate laughing because my laugh is ugly. A little girl, snorty, choking sound that makes me really mad.
But Satoshi kept on pulling giggles out of me as his fingers skirted along my torso. Before I had noticed he had inched closer and closer until now that our bodies were touching.
I don’t know if it was mutual but the tension shot right up and Satoshi’s playful expression was nowhere to be found. Instead his serene expression was back. Only when I looked closely I realized his eyes weren’t sleepy or expression less they were worried. His hand slid slowly to my back. But right now, his eyes more than anything they were so expressive I couldn’t understand. It felt too much and I found myself unable to look at them.
I ducked my head.
When I looked back up, I realized his face was much closer than it had been a few seconds ago.
** Everyone's tension is so high that my fingers are working like crazy to make an update and I want to finish this one because after a conversation with
camaronzin I realized that there are too many unfinised Ohmiya Multichpaters. So thank you everyone for the high tension and lovely comments they're really helping me achieve my goal of finishing this quickly :D and keep it up?
