In the end everyone had insisted on printing the cards with the picture taken at the very end with me looking like a fish with my lips stretched out so frightfully wide, teeth threatening to burst out with the ends peeking out just slightly. Satoshi chuckled when he saw my expression and pinched my cheeks with a “cute!~~” and went back to his room.
In fact everyone had cooed and squealed at the sheer cuteness of the picture. No one seemed to look at it from my point of view. Completely baka stupid and OMG SO VERY VERY CUTE!!! I LOVE SATOSHI! LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I wondered if there were hearts coming out of my ears or an arrow coming out of my rear with a large heart etched into my butt.
We were all quite tired though but dinner was still to be tackled and with so many people it was a tedious task. I couldn’t help but lend Ohno Mama a hand glaring at Mina who used her two kids as excuse to shuffle off. Somehow halfway through Aiba bundled in squirming, excited and a complete and utter distraction and source of destruction. After two eggs on the floor and one cracked into the batter with the shells following afterwards Ohno Mama gently gripped his upper arm and coaxed him out.
I felt worried, the so-called ‘pleaser of men’ was now free to socialize with Mina and that would lead to conspiracy about Ohno and me and our general vicinity.
A part of me wished for it but then again dreaded it.
But Aiba had only gone out to take care of dessert which for him turned out to be 5 one litre tubs of chocolate chip ice-cream.
This guy...he somehow likes doing excess.
Dinner went by without incident or should I say it was plentifully eventful where Satoshi and I were concerned. This time when Satoshi fed me and I ate he didn’t glare; shoulders and knees brushing and everyone suppressing happy squeals and laughing and joking and Aiba choking himself.
In a way I felt like I really was getting married to Ohno....is it too early to be thinking about kids?
I want three one like me, one like Ohno and another a perfect mix. We weren’t bad looking either, so maybe the mixed kid would be seriously hot. Maybe the kid that was like Ohno could be a girl. A girl with Ohno’s nature was bound to be sought after.
“....Right Ninomiya-kun?”
Huh..What?
I looked at Ohno Mama who looked back expectantly. I would have asked her to repeat the question only everyone, EVERYONE, including Satoshi and Mina were looking intent. Even Aiba had that stupid grinning face masked with seriousness.
This...was an important question and I hadn’t heard it. My palms started sweating and my heart started palpitated and not like ‘Satoshi’s body is brushing me yay!’ palpitate but ‘I think I’m having a stroke’ palpitate.
I gulped as the tension rose higher and higher and really it’s as though time had stopped as everyone sat perfectly still.
I nodded hesitantly.
The crescendo dropped immediately and the table erupted into the lively mirth it was radiating a few moments back. But only Satoshi seemed kind of tensed and when I noticed Mina she looked contemplative as well.
They were BOTH troubled?
I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach like I had made some terrible mistake.
When dinner and desserts were done, Ohno Mama politely stuffing the three untouched ice-cream tubs into the freezer, everyone returned to their own activities. Satoshi shuffling slower than normal back to his room and I followed him a moment after only to be dragged at the last minute to the bathroom by Mina.
She pulled me in and slammed the door. I looked to the tub and there was Aiba with Mina’s two kids crawling around him. The sense of familiarity from this situation did not bode well.
“Do you realize you just fixed your wedding date to two weeks from now?”
My eyes widened in horror. I really had NO idea. Damn you daydreams!
I shook my head furiously.
“Why do you do this to yourself Ninomiya? You have two weeks to make Satoshi fall in love with you! Do you realize!!?”
Mina grabbed my shoulders and shook me hard and Aiba proved his worthiness as part of the conspiracy by prying her off me as gently as possible receiving a jab in the jaw and another punch in the stomach for abandoning the kids in the tub.
“What if they had drowned?” She spat at him angrily.
I probably should have saved my saviour by pointing out that there is no water but Aiba just apologized and went back to the kids apologizing to them too. Shoutaro might have even kissed him.
Ah, Mina was right; he did know how to please men.
Mina shook her head again, “Okay Ninomiya how far have you gone? Where did he touch you, kiss you? Did you take apt advantage of being alone on a romantic beach?”
“No.”
“BAKA!”
“We weren’t alone there was a photographer hovering around us!”
Mina sighed, rubbing her temples, “Sorry I got carried away because there’s so LITLLE time. But with careful Day to Day Progress I think we may get Satoshi to fall in love with you. Correction, realize that it’s actually YOU that he ACTUALLY likes. Trust my idiot brother not to know.”
“Ho-how can you be so certain?” I couldn’t help the indignant edge, I mean the things Mina said it made my hopes soar so high that my butt’ll suffer really bad if I fall, I might die from the impact too.
“Oh c’mon. Best friends since forever. You’ve survived Satoshi through more girlfriends than I can count on my hands. Vice Versa. You cuddle, sleep on the same bed, share food, pick out clothes, grope...you know I’m wondering how much of this I’m Satoshi’s lover is actually an act. This is not some prank by my brother to fool me, right? As some great joke for the wedding or as revenge for making him eat soba telling him it’s ramen till the age of 14?”
“It’s none of that! And wait Satoshi didn’t know what ramen was till he was 14?”
Mina smirked mischievously.
But then something else from her monologue caught my attention, “How do you know we grope?”
Mina looked nervously at Aiba who his face in Tachiko’s braided hair.
“MINA!”
“So...there might be a window facing Ohno’s that belongs to Aiba?”
“OMG YOU’VE BEEN SPYING!”
“Well ever since you pulled out of the operation...”
I couldn’t believe it. I must have done something embarrassing like watch Satoshi sleep through the hours of the night or caress his hair as he wakes up.
“Listen it’s not a bad thing! It gave us more insight on what you said!”
“What did I say?” I was about to shout but I got curious as to what point of any conversations we’ve had in the recent past could Mina want insight on.
“You know the one about where you want Satoshi to love you because he wanted to and not because there’s no one else...that one. Our plans have been revised and it’ll surely work this time!”
I caught Aiba giving a timid yet determined nod from my peripheral vision.
“I’m not going through any plans!”
“Fine Nino, our plans have been designed in such a way that even if you don’t actively participate it’ll work. Just be amiable to our ministrations and go with our flow! Don’t disrupt it. Now you may leave.”
When I turned back without a word opening the door I realized that only I was leaving. I raised my eyebrow at them.
And Mina nodded at the door.
“C’mon! You’ll stay here alone with him? It’ll be so suspicious!”
“That’s why the kids are here!”
I knew it! Aiba didn’t bring them over just for fun
“You’re not really going to engage in suspicious activities, right?”
Mina narrowed her eyes, “Nino! Leave before I hurt you.”
“Okay okay. I was just wondering since I’ve never seen your husband even once.” I clamped my mouth. Oh shit! That wasn’t supposed to come out. In the background Aiba gasped. Uh oh! I think I stepped on a landmine, especially when Mina’s usually peaceful face flared up with a flame so scorching I swear I could see white flames lapping around her skin.
“GET OUT!”
I didn’t just get out. I ran out.
Making a beeline straight to Satoshi’s bedroom I opened the door wishing I hadn’t.
Satoshi threw his phone at the wall and clutched his hair doubling over in a sheer sign of distress. He didn’t even notice my arrival. I was hesitating on whether to pretend I never saw this or go in to comfort him. When I heard a strangled sob I knew I couldn’t just abandon him.
Draping over his bent form I wrapped my arms around him and rocked us together. Satoshi took a few moments during which I could hear deep breaths muffled into his knees before he looked up with a smile masking his miserable state, the bloodshot red eyes were a horrible giveaway though and the wet patches near his knee didn’t help.
“Amy broke up with me.” His subsided sobs returned.
As much as that should alleviate me to heaven I couldn’t feel a morsel of bliss because anything that makes that sort of face on Satoshi isn’t heaven. It’s hell.
And I knew that there was only one way out of this one. My heart ached, protested but I knew that no way could it be any worse than this hopeless expression on Satoshi’s face.
“I’m sure she’s just angry and she didn’t mean it. You rejected her call right?”
“But I had to! It was Kazu and Satoshi day. I couldn’t let another person in.”
I smiled quite genuinely at Satoshi’s naivety, “Oh! Satoshi, there can’t be Kazu Satoshi day NOW. Trying to marry her should be your top priority. And you wasted a whole day, she must have been worried.”
”She asked me to come over.”
“So go.”
“But it’s Kazu Satoshi day!” My heart wrenched at the pure efforts he made in not letting a girl get between us.
“Satoshi do you love her?”
He nodded.
“Do you want to be with her?”
Again
“Forever?”
And Again.
I asked him all the questions I ask myself each day and with each affirmation I knew that the battle I was fighting was not only lost but horribly wrong.
I know the pain Satoshi is going through now and I just can’t let Satoshi hurt like this.
Mina, he really loves her
I wiped his tears and kissed his forehead.
“Go.”
“But.”
“Leave. Now.” And I pushed him off the bed. Satoshi stared up at me from where he landed on the floor on his butt, dumbstruck.
“We can-we can do Kazu Satoshi day some other time. Day is Over Anyway.”
Lie, all lies. Once Ohno gets married I’m out of his life. Friends have little priority after marriage. Plus I’ll probably not be able to bear through seeing him with Amy married and out of my grasp, forbidden forever.
Just the thought made my heart clench painfully, eyes threatening to burst.
But my words stirred Ohno on and he grabbed his cell phone and a jacket and ran out the door.
Just like that my perfect day had come to a horrible end.
But as it was getting harder to breath - maybe if I didn’t hold it in so tightly - I was just glad to have had even this much of a memory with Satoshi alone and together. One last time.
Just this much and I was grateful for it.
Too weak to sit up I fell back onto the bed. Satoshi’s bed. His scent was so strong on it, it consumed me. I pushed my nose further into the pillows, inhaling. Letting it crowd me, almost as though it was Satoshi himself.
I didn’t register the faint creak of the door not until there was someone hugging me from behind, long nails digging into the skin on my forearm.
The weight on my back comforted me all night as I stared at Satoshi’s pillow and wondered why it was so wet.
