nilielhTitle : [Fic] Book of Tears Volume 4 - Romantic 3.4
Pairing : Ohno/Nino
Rating : PG to R
Summary : Book of Tears Verse : Months/Years after Nino and Ohno have gotten back together.
“The night we broke up…” Nino says into his neck and his fingers tighten automatically against Nino’s hip, as if the memory of that particular night is enough to terrify him, enough to make him want to keep holding onto Nino and never let him go.
“Is probably the worst night of my life, hands down,” he says, cutting Nino’s words off and planting soft kisses against the side of Nino’s temple. Even now, he can’t think of that night without feeling like he is being cut open, and the only thing that is enough to calm his worries down is the fact that when he looks up to find Nino, Nino is always there looking at him too.
Nino’s fingers reach up to touch his cheek, soft and reassuring, and Ohno leans into the touch willingly. There is no way to change what happened between, nothing to change the fact that they broke each other’s hearts that night and that they spent a year hurting each other in silence, but Ohno knows he and Nino are trying both their hardest to make it better, healing the wounds they unknowingly left each other during the time they were apart.
“I know that,” Nino says, softly, into his neck; “And I swear if there’s any way to do things all over again, if there’s any way I could go back to that time I told you it was over between us, I’d do it. You know that I would, Oh-chan.”
“Yes,” he agrees, holding Nino tight. “Of course I do, Nino. You don’t even have to tell me that.” he says. He knows this probably isn’t what Nino was thinking when he brought up the matter, about that night, and it’s probably his fault for leading the conversation off track. He squeezes Nino one more time and pulls back just far enough to look at Nino.
“Sorry, what was it you were saying again?” he apologizes, leaning in to drop a soft kiss to the tips of Nino’s nose because he couldn’t help it.
Nino chuckles and leans in for a proper kiss, which he gives in to wholeheartedly, Nino’s hand pressed warmly against cheek. When Nino pulls back, it is only so he can press their foreheads together, his breath sweet and achingly familiar against the skin of his face.
“Nothing, really,” Nino says, “I was just thinking I’ve been so lucky, is all.” Nino says, his hand moving to the back of Ohno’s neck to keep his head in place in case he tries to pull away. He won’t, though, because he knows Nino’s embarrassed enough saying these things and trying to look at him closely will only end up with Nino hiding his face away from him, and that’s something he wants to avoid. He will keep still for Nino if that’s what it would take to have Nino close like this, wouldn’t even breathe if only to make sure Nino won’t pull away from him ever.
“I’m the lucky one,” he whispers, closing his eyes as his fingers reach up to touch Nino’s chin. This is what he’s always been thankful for ever since that night he and Nino have straightened out their shit and decided to give each other another chance. “You love me and we’re together, and fuck if that’s not lucky enough, I don’t think what else is.”
“Hmm,” Nino hums in answer, but the way the corner of his mouth lilted into a sort-of embarrassed smile tells him he just said something good.
He shifts then, pulling away but only so he could take Nino’s face in his hands, pressing two soft kisses to Nino’s smiling mouth and says, “And just for the record,” he breathes, smiling because he can’t help himself, kissing Nino again because he can, “If I’ll be given a chance to live my life again…” he pauses, holding Nino’s gaze, “I’ll find you sooner. I’ll do whatever it takes to find you as soon as I can so we can be together, so I can love the fuck out of you as early as I possibly can.”
Nino’s smile is so, so, beautiful it hurts, finds himself leaning in to kiss Nino’s mouth as Nino does the same to meet him halfway.

The night’s not even halfway over – it’s not even seven yet, after all, but he and Nino are already on the bed, tangled together from head to toe under the sheets. Nino is pressed warmly next to him, almost half on top of him that one, slight movement will end up with Nino sprawled on top of him instead.
And the way he has his arm wrapped around Nino’s waist doesn’t help about the situation either, even though he is certain there are parts of him that will end up numb for having Nino’s weight on him for so long, but he doesn’t mind it. Not at all.
They’ve migrated from the couch to the bed after that untimely breakup talk, and Ohno feels the same urge to be close to Nino even though Nino will never say it. Nino doesn’t, but the way he wrapped himself around Ohno, the way he refused to let Ohno go after Ohno’s heartbreakingly sweet confession earlier proved it.
And well, Ohno doesn’t mind it, really. Not when he has Nino close like this, breathing him in as if Nino can’t be bothered to move away because Ohno is here.
“It’s you, you know?” Nino whispers around a mirthless chuckle, and Ohno has to give himself a moment to let Nino’s words sink in as he holds Nino close. “And I guess I was scared to admit it then that it will always be you.” Nino follows, and Ohno guesses this is them breaking the last few barriers separating them, his heart twisting hard in his chest as he gather Nino in.
“Nino –“
“We could be eighty and balding and I’d still know there’s only one person I would rather spend the rest of my days with, Satoshi,” Nino says, “and it’s you. From the first day we met, I knew it’d be you. And I was right. I was right, Oh-chan.”
He’s not sure he has the right words then to answer Nino, so he doesn’t bother. He just takes Nino in his arms and pulls him up for a kiss, saying everything he hopes to verbalize without talking.
And it’s you, he wants to say, curling his tongue around Nino’s own and pushing his fingers through Nino’s hair. For me, it’s always been you too, Nino; only you.
