Summary : AU. They’ve always been together, since they were children. Best friends. Doing things together, growing up together. Only one thing Ohno didn’t count on – falling in love with his best friend.
“Oh-chan, are you sure it doesn’t hurt?” Nino asked for what seemed like the fiftieth time in the last ten minutes, keeping an arm around Satoshi’s waist and carefully guiding the older boy to the nearest bench while he was trying not to pass out himself.
Satoshi shook his head, gave Nino the tiniest smile he could muster but it lacked the usual effect as Nino felt like he wanted to blame himself some more for being the reason why Ohchan was in obvious pain right now (even though Satoshi wasn’t saying anything).
“W-We can just stop here if you can’t walk or I can –“ he paused, contemplating between running off to call his Mom for help or anyone who could carry his best friend home so he could treat his wounds as soon as possible.
It was his fault, of course it was, because he was the one who dragged Satoshi out here to play, bullying the older boy to rent a bike for him as well as teaching him how to ride it; Satoshi had pouted but otherwise gave in to Nino’s bullying, handing Nino a thousand Yen which almost made Nino’s eyes popped from their socket, because, seriously, why in hell does Ohchan have so much money in him every time?
They rode it for about twenty minutes before Nino eventually got tired of yelling profanities to Satoshi’s face everytime he felt like he was about to fall over, and his genius best friend looked about as confused as ever, standing besides Nino and the bike and doing his level best not to get crushed by their combined weights.
Ten minutes after, while Nino was just getting back from buying them both something to drink (from Ohchan’s change, of course), Nino got back to the sight of the bike gone from where he’d left it and then seeing it moving speedily from somewhere and his stupid best friend riding it, the usual sleepy expression gone in an instant as Satoshi screamed Nino’s name, waving enthusiastically at Nino’s general direction as he pedaled and not the least caring that he was about to --
Nino screamed and dropped everything to the ground, feeling like his heart dropped along with it too when he saw the bike crashed into the nearest bench, and bringing Satoshi down with it.
He swore he just had a mini heart attack there, running with all his might towards his best friend who was then lying very still on the ground. When Nino reached him, his eyes were closed and there were sand all over his face and clothes, blood oozing from his scraped knees and unmoving; Nino was immediately crouching down, reaching out to gently prod Satoshi’s cheek with trembling fingers with his heart on his throat.
When Satoshi finally opened his eyes, mumbling about food and Nino in the same breath, Nino allowed himself to be relieved enough to slap Satoshi on the face before helping the older boy to his feet, grumbling under his breath. Ohno winced then and looked down only to wince again, staring at his bleeding knees, but that’s about it. Ohno looked hurt but there wasn’t even an indication that he was about to cry, much to Nino’s surprise.
He stopped for a bit and Satoshi did too, wincing a little as Nino stooped down to peek at the handkerchief he tied around Satoshi’s knee and grimacing at the blood still oozing from the open wound. Satoshi stood unmoving, just letting Nino as Nino very gently wiped the blood running trails down Satoshi’s legs with shaking fingers.
“It’s still bleeding, Ohchan,” Nino whispered, eyes trained on the blood-soaked hanky, fingers gripping the back of his best friend’s knee and willing himself not to bawl at the sight; it did look painful but everytime he asked Satoshi, the older boy only kept shaking his head and smiling at Nino as if it didn’t hurt at all. Nino couldn’t decide whether to believe the older boy because it did seem like Satoshi just didn’t want to worry him. “ – I…”
“Nino,” Satoshi called, dropping a hand on top of Nino’s head and nudging Nino to look up, which Nino did after he’d managed a deep, calming breath enough to keep himself from crying like a baby. Satoshi was smiling at him when he raised his head, hand moving to his shoulder. “ – it doesn’t hurt that much, don’t worry. I’ve had worst injuries than this, so I’m kinda used to the pain. Besides, you’re here to patch me up, so –“ Satoshi said with a grin then paused, tugging Nino by the shoulder and pulling him up. “Let’s just go home – to yours – since mine’s a little far and I don’t think my Mom would like it if she sees me like this again –“
Nino wiped his eyes with the back of his palm, thankful that Satoshi didn’t call him out on it before promptly dropping down on his knees and leaning down to press his mouth against Satoshi’s wounded knee, careful not to press too close to avoid getting Satoshi’s blood on his mouth and then pulling back just as quickly.
“You’ll be fine now, Ohchan,” he muttered, convincing not only Satoshi but more so himself as he let himself be pulled up, nodding as he moved forward to wrap his arms around Satoshi’s waist, fitting himself perfectly against his best friend’s body. “L-Let’s…”
Nino felt a reassuring pat against his hand that’s curling firmly against the curve of Satoshi’s waist.
“Let’s go, Kazu,”

Nino had finished cleaning Satoshi’s wound, and he couldn’t say he was momentarily relieved to realize that the wound wasn’t that big to be stitched up or something. Satoshi was even better at lying down and instructing Nino what to do while the older boy chewed on the onigiri Nino found in the fridge (which his mother probably left for him, thankfully) while Nino panicked around a little as he tried to locate their first aid kit.
Now Satoshi was seated on the edge of Nino’s bed and Nino was crouched down on Satoshi’s feet, examining his work by constantly poking at Satoshi’s uninjured leg.
“It’s fine now, don’t worry so much,” Satoshi mumbled, poking Nino right back and giggling when Nino scowled; he still didn’t get why Satoshi didn’t even cry, when Nino was sure that if it had been him, he’d probably scream at Satoshi’s face and tell him to go leave him alone and to maybe never show his face to Nino ever again. Ohno poked him again, smiling although his gaze seemed softer, fonder. “Are you still worried, Kazu?” Ohno asked.
Nino shook his head and shrugged. “Not really,” he lied, lowering his eyes down the floor. “I was just wondering why you didn’t cry; why you never cry,” he said, catching Satoshi’s swaying foot before gently running his fingers along Satoshi’s calf, his other free hand tracing the no-longer-there blood trails. “I’m sure this hurt like hell and I was afraid you’d bleed to death, but you didn’t even –“
“It didn’t hurt as much as you think it did,” Satoshi cut him off with an abrupt foot-wriggle, grinning when Nino pinched him back in retaliation. “ – and besides, you already gave it your special brand of healing kiss, so it’s fine,” Satoshi added with a wink and Nino tried covering his blush with a scowl, but he knew Satoshi could see right through him because the minute he pushed himself away, Satoshi’s hand was already there to tug him right back.
The next time he blinked, he realized he was enveloped inside the warmth of Satoshi’s embrace and his face was firmly tucked against the hollow juncture between Satoshi’s neck and shoulder, and Satoshi was murmuring his thanks against Nino’s shoulder blade.
“I don’t mind getting bruises or cuts or injuries if it means Kazu’s going to be the one to take care of me,” Satoshi added softly, breathing his words directly through Nino’s ear and Nino couldn’t help but feel delighted at the fact that Satoshi trusted him that much.
Nino hid his smile against Satoshi’s neck, lifting his arms to wrap them around Satoshi’s back.
“You’re an idiot,” he whispered back as Satoshi fitted himself against Nino’s, humming his response and tightening his hold around Nino’s waist.
“But you love me,” Satoshi murmured.
“Yeah,” Nino admitted around a breathy chuckle. “ – and I guess that makes me the bigger idiot, then,” he answered in clear fond exasperation.
Satoshi grinned and pulled back enough to drop a sound kiss against Nino’s cheek, looking mighty smug and grinning.
“But you love me!” Satoshi insisted, repeating it until Nino smacked him upside the head for being a nuisance, but nodding just the same when Satoshi asked him again, and again, and again. Nino realized he was still nodding by the time Satoshi tugged him to the bed and asked him if they could nap together for now.
He nodded and quickly pecked Satoshi on the cheek before pushing the older boy to his side and not letting him shift back by throwing a leg over Satoshi’s own, trapping him there.
Satoshi whined but Nino stayed firm; he just convinced himself he was just doing it to shut his best friend’s mouth up after all.
