1.
 
Nino knew the way to Ohno’s house by heart; it was something he would never admit to anyone, most especially to Ohno himself in fear of being misjudged, say, the older boy accusing him of stalking (though, it was pretty much the same with the fact that he’s followed Ohno home countless of times). This habit of his, disturbing as it may sound, was something he’s done and kept on doing without actually knowing why and how he ended up doing it; maybe it was because since following Ohno, those bullies disappeared miraculously too.
 
Ohno, Nino thought, was probably an angel sent by God to protect him. Only he looked kind of dumb to be considered one but his round face and sleepy eyes were enough compensation for, for whatever it was that needed to be compensated (he don’t know, he’s actually confusing himself right now).
 
He holstered his bag up his shoulder and tentatively took slow steps forward at the same time the older boy came out from the ice cream shop, licking and nibbling at the dripping cone in his hand, the tip of his pink tongue darting in and out of his mouth.
 
Nino felt that unusual heat creeping up his cheeks the minute the older boy turned, his sleepy eyes focusing somewhere above Nino’s head. His mouth quirked at one corner and Nino tried averting his gaze and maybe run away as fast as he could but he wasn’t able to when,
 
“Hi,”
 
Nino halted to a stop and looked around dumbly before pointing to himself, feeling rather stupid.
 
“M-Me?”
 
Ohno tilted his head, licked his ice cream absently and smiled. Nino managed to crack back a smile despite feeling tremendously surprised at the suddenness of it all and snorted under his breath as his eyes darted down Ohno’s fingers. Ohno followed his gaze and grinned, holding out a hand towards Nino’s direction.
 
“ – ice cream,” he said brightly and Nino couldn’t help but snickered at the sight of Ohno’s messy fingers and the dripping ice cream all over the older boy’s hand. “ – you want some?”
 
Nino looked down and started chewing his lower lip, his gaze focused on his shoes.
 
Well, he’s actually pretty hungry and maybe, just maybe… “ – y-yes… yes, please~” he mumbled, mostly to himself but wasn’t entirely surprised to find the other boy already standing in front of him, his clean hand nudging Nino’s chin up.
 
“ – come on, I’ll buy you one…” Ohno replied, taking Nino’s hand and guiding him back to the shop, not once letting go even as they both stumbled out, grinning at each other like a bunch of morons.
 
2.
 
“It’s a test of courage!” Nino insisted with a growl, hands fisting against the fabric of Ohno’s shirt as the older boy shook his head, repeatedly. “ – so are you saying you’re a coward, huh, Ohchan?!” he tried again, inching closer until he could feel Ohno’s breathe on his face and the older boy’s eyes were crossing adorably at the closeness.
 
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Ohno answered, tone mild and understanding as he wormed his arms around Nino’s waist as he moved back a little. Nino’s small hands tightened their hold against the front of his shirt, hissing under his breath.
 
“ – do not give me that crap!” Nino grumbled, twisting his fingers sharply until they were almost digging into Ohno’s skin. “ – I told you, we’re in this together or I’m leaving you to deal with it alone…” he added in between gritted teeth.
 
Ohno’s eyes suddenly lost its focus and a sly smile started forming around the corners of his mouth and Nino couldn’t help but sigh. He untangled himself from Ohno and scooped up the book lying on top of the older boy’s study table before cupping Ohno lightly across the head with a huff.
 
“ – didn’t I tell you to memorize your line?” Nino asked as he opened the book and pointed. “ – you only have ten lines and you can’t even remember them. I don’t know how you’d manage to~” he paused when the older boy leaned in and pecked Nino’s cheek tenderly, scratching the back of his head afterwards.
 
Nino couldn’t help but rolled his eyes back at the older boy at the same time Ohno muttered,
 
“ – one more time?”
 
3.
 
At sixteen, Nino developed a certain kind of fascination towards Ohno’s ass and when Ohno merely questioned him (accused may be the right word) about it, Nino shrugged and pulled a face at Ohno before crossing his arms over his chest.
 
“There should be some kind of explanation, right?” Ohno murmured with a pout as he settled himself beside the younger boy. Nino pointedly threw him a glare but didn’t say anything. “ – of course there is, coz you never run out of those. You sure have answers to almost everything… you’re smart like that..” he added with a  little smile just as Nino ducked his head, hiding his blush against the fold of his arms.
 
Seriously.
 
At nineteen, Ohno seemed to have developed a certain kind of stupidity that Nino found so disturbingly adorable despite the older man’s supposed maturity over him. He snorted at the thought and ignored the fact that Ohno was crowding him, the older boy’s every breath tickling the hair at the nape of his neck.
 
“It’s…” he paused, wanting to bite the inside of his cheek when he saw Ohno’s puppy dog expression from the corners of his eyes.
 
“…”
 
A sigh, then, “ – it’s… it’s t-therapeutic,” he said. Ohno stared at him, blinking owlishly.
 
“ – eh?”
 
Nino narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips. “ – it calms me down, there, are you happy now?!”
 
Ohno beamed at him, adorable in a way only Ohno was capable of being and Nino felt another wave of something (not exactly new but Nino dwelled on it still) bubbling hot in his chest. Ohno’s arms find their way around Nino’s waist and the older boy planted a soft kiss on Nino’s cheek.
 
“ – you’re too cute!” Ohno exclaimed in delight. Nino threw him an elbow, muttering ‘you’re stupid’ under his breath while grinning.
 
4.
 
“Oh-chan!” he screamed, suddenly feeling lost and terrified the minute he opened his eyes to the darkness surrounding him. He shivered uncontrollably despite his feeble attempts to calm himself down by breathing repeatedly, letting his eyes adjust in the dark as he gripped a pillow against his chest, shivering.
 
Another thunder and Nino ducked, face first into the pillows, his whole body trembling for a good whole minute before he heard the door opened with a bang and Ohno’s voice calling out to him.
 
“Kazu?!” came the older boy’s frantic calling and Nino had to gather enough courage to make a noise, his whimpers slipping out from the back of his throat until Ohno was near enough to cradle him, to keep him safe. “ – I’m here, I’m here, shhh… I’m sorry, I just need to go to check out the lights and~”
 
Another rumbling sound and Nino flung himself to Ohno’s body, muffling his screams against Ohno’s chest. Ohno tightened his hold around Nino, rocking them both until Nino stopped shaking, chuckling through Nino’s hair when he’s calmed enough to jab at Ohno’s ribs in annoyance.
 
“ – keep that up, Ohchan and I swear, once the storm’s over, I’ll make sure you regret acting like an ass,” he muttered darkly but his fingers never loosening their grip against Ohno’s shirt as Ohno chuckled once more while planting soft kisses on top of Nino’s head.
 
“ – I’m just enjoying this, this temporary moment of weakness, you know… it’s rare and you’re cute!” Ohno piped up, squeezing the younger man tightly and smiling goofily, shifting a little to make room for Nino until the younger boy was sprawled comfortably half on top of him.
 
Burying his nose against the crook of the older boy’s neck, Nino sighed deeply and quietly murmured ‘I love you’ against Ohno’s skin.
 
5.
 
If looks could kill, Nino was sure the girl who was currently trying to mould herself with Ohno would drop dead, bleeding and thoroughly decapitated. He’s way too angry to even keep a straight face, only imagining the very brutal ways he could do to get his hands on her, maybe claw her eyes out and skin her alive and or maybe …
 
“You’re killing someone with your eyes again, Kazunari,” Ohno murmured through Nino’s ears and Nino did all he could not to gasp at the initial shock of finding the older man beside him, the girl neglected and was standing alone, with her hands on her hips and her lips pouting in a way which couldn’t be considered sexy.
 
Nino rolled his eyes, smirking, and continued munching on Ohno’s (which he found unopened on top of the older boy’s study table) blueberry muffins.
 
“ – if that’s true, then why aren’t she dead yet?” he answered, suddenly annoyed with the way Ohno laughed afterwards, his nose crinkling adorably and his mouth, god, his mouth…
 
“ – you’re eating her present,” Ohno said, still grinning, lips pointing at the muffins in front of them as if it was something to do with his earlier statement. Nino shrugged.
 
“ – I need to taste them first, you know, to make sure she didn’t put anything in it…” was Nino’s answer, taking another bite and trying hard not to stuck a tongue at her when he saw her elegantly tucked her hair behind her ear and turned around without saying another word.
 
The next thing Ohno did pretty much wiped all sensible thoughts out of his head and he was left gaping, eyes widening when Ohno casually leaned in and kissed him on the mouth, tongue grazing his lips without much hesitation.
 
“ – hmmm, delicious…” Ohno whispered huskily, his lips still mostly attached against Nino’s own and Nino wasn’t able to do much, only staring at Ohno in shock.
 
He felt Ohno’s fingers settling themselves around the back of his neck as Ohno angled his head and nibbled his bottom lip tenderly.
 
“ – O-Ohchan,”
 
“ – blueberry-flavoured ne?”
 
With a mild curse, Nino grabbed Ohno’s collar and mashed their mouths together.

“You’re in love with him,” Sho pointed out rather obviously, brows furrowed in an attempt to make Nino realize that he was and if he could please stop being such a brat and admit it already, dammit!
 
Nino threw him a glare and went back on sulking, hiding his face in his hands and sighing theatrically every damn second.
 
“ – you’re just scared,” Sho followed with a scoff and was barely able to dodge Nino’s slippers as Nino threw them at him. Sometimes, just sometimes, Nino hated Sho and his stupid, stupid mouth. “ – you already kissed, for chrissake, what else is there to be scared about?”
 
“ – i-it w-was just an a-accident,” he mumbled discreetly, gnawing at his lower lip nervously. “ – a-and, you know~”
 
Sho grimaced. “ – you’re really stupid sometimes, Kazu,” he muttered exasperatedly, “ – can’t you see he’s also in~”
 
“ – I’m in love with you.” Ohno announced from the doorway, bypassing any form of greetings as he strutted his way towards the two, eyes fixed on Nino. Nino in turn was torn between running off and disappearing in between Sho’s couch, if only he could. Somewhere behind him, Sho was muttering something incoherrent under his breath.
 
“ – what?!” Nino managed to ask, his voice barely audible in his own ears. “ – O-Ohchan, don’t say something you don’t actually mean because ~”
 
“ – and we can actually do more than kissing,” Ohno added, purposely ignoring Nino’s attempt to keep himself together as he went straight into kneeling in front of the younger man, hands settling on top of Nino’s legs. “ – and yes, I’m in love with you… for actually quite some time now…”
 
“ – y-you’re dumb,” Nino whispered, lifting his left hand and gently traced Ohno’s cheek with his knuckles.
 
Ohno chuckled and caught Nino’s wrist, dropping a kiss against the younger man’s palm as his other hand went up, gingerly moving against the buckle of Nino’s belt. “ – say you love me too?” he whispered back, his gaze turned pointedly hungry.
 
“ – ugh, guys?” Sho muttered from the background, “ – could you please not do that in my house?”
 
7.
 
He settled a hand over his heart while the other man kept a firm hold of him against the small of his back. Burying his face against the crook of Ohno’s neck, Nino smiled; he could very well stay like this forever, with Ohno’s arms around him and the sound of the older man’s every breathe like music to his ears.
 
They’ve just made love and though it wasn’t the first time, Nino couldn’t tell any difference; it’s because Ohno knew how to make him beg for more, like he couldn’t get enough of Nino, bringing him to heaven over and over again.
 
“ – tell me, Kazu…” a whisper against the shell of his ear as Ohno tugged him closer. “ – Kazu,”
 
“ – I love you,” he replied, raising his face to place a soft kiss against Ohno’s jaw. “ – I love you so much, Ohchan…”
 
Ohno smiled contentedly as Nino snuggled closer.
 
Forever.
