Title : [Drabble Series] Assassins
Rating : R
Pairing : Jun/Sho, Ohno/Nino, Nino/Aiba,
Summary : Trained assassins -- that's what they are; but what if the one person he had vowed his life to protect was the same person they wanted him to kill?

"He's not part of the equation," Jun muttered grimly, eyes never leaving Nino's fingers as the smaller man's hands worked on assembling his gun. Jun kept one of his own hand tucked underneath his jacket, gripping his own weapon while following the movement of Nino's fingers.

Nino smirked, the corners of his mouth curling up in that way that made Jun's insides twist in disgust and anger. "I never said he was," Nino stated with a shrug.

Something told Jun that there was something more to this than what Nino wanted him to believe, and he wasn't that stupid to allow Nino to just shut him out.

"Then why do I feel like you are planning to eliminate him?" Jun asked bravely, trusting his instincts enough not to fail him. That probably was the right question, because Nino's fingers stilled on the gun, and the smaller man's lips broke into a devilish grin. Nino looked up and Jun swore under his breath at the dangerous expression passing through Nino's eyes.

"I said he wasn't part of the equation," Nino said, eyes twinkling with excitement; Jun braced himself and waited. "But that doesn't mean he's not part of the problem," Nino added as he cocked his gun noisily.

Jun swallowed thickly and cursed.

"Is he a target now? Why wasn't I informed?"

Nino made a face but didn't say anything, and Jun was sure that the reason lies at the fact that Nino had been watching him quietly these past few days.

He had to act fast, that's what he needed to do.

He needed to find Sho as fast as he could before Nino got to him first. That's the least he could do to keep Sho alive, without letting the organization know that he was protecting Sho.

He stood up without a word and went straight to the door, only to be stopped by Nino's parting words.

"I know where you're heading, J, and I'm not going to stop you," he said and Jun felt his breathe leaving his lungs in a rush. "But just make sure you hide him well because you know me, I don't allow such little problems getting in the way,"

"W-What the fuck are you talking about?" Jun croaked, stunned.

"Oh, quit the bullshit and be on your way while I'm giving you the chance," Nino replied with the threat underlying his tone. "But as I've said, hide him fast and hide him well -- because I don't care if you're my friend, J; I don't care whether you're fucking in love with him because when I find him, I am going to kill him."
