Summary : Nino was content with what they had going, really; the sex would have been enough to keep him from wanting more, out of him and their unlabeled relationship, but he was wrong. God, but he was so wrong.

“Would you please tell me what happened?” Nino asked after a while when she had finally calmed down.

They were already sitting beside each other on Nino’s couch while Misono was munching away his left over pizza she found on his fridge. She was like Satoshi in a lot of ways, Nino mused silently as he watched her finish off a slice without much effort.

Nino grinned when she did.

She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and leaned back, scrunching her face in the most adorable way ever.

“We never had sex, that’s what happened.” She replied. Nino stared at her even more, hoping he could spot her lying if she was. She threw him an elbow when she realized what he was trying to do.

“And please believe me because it was hard enough to convince that idiot when I told him what really happened; it was silly and I should really blame my sister for making a joke out of it which resulted to this mess, but -” she sighed in resignation and snuggled closer to Nino’s side. Nino in turn poked her cheeks until she was giggling like a little girl.

“But, how? I mean, even Oh-chan was entirely convinced he got you pregnant!”

Misono smiled sheepishly and was silent for an entire minute before she spoke again.

“Well, aside from the fact that he’s dumb, which I’m pretty sure even he himself knows it, it was also because he was pretty knocked up that night to even remember anything.”

Oh. “Oh.”

She grinned. “Yeah, pretty much.”

It was actually Koda Kumi, Misono’s sister’s birthday party that night. It just happened that Arashi members were all invited in it, but Nino wasn’t able to attend because they were finishing the editing for his movie. He remembered telling the other guys to not wait for him for he might not be able to make it.

Also, he and Ohno had a little misunderstanding the night before, and though Nino spent almost an hour in the Jimusho’s 3rd floor bathroom stall sucking Ohno off, the older man was still somewhat pissed about something and Nino, being all frustrated and grumpy had decided to leave the older man behind without letting him come.

Well, it was probably reason enough to be mad, Nino thought, but Ohno probably deserved it.

Based from Misono’s actual (and detailed, though she said she'd already forgotten the other unimportant parts, much to Nino’s chagrin) relaying of the story, Ohno arrived at the venue early and (surprisingly) by himself. The tiny old man looked somewhat lost, she said, when she saw him and she immediately went to check on him when she realized he was about to turn around and leave the place at once, the minute he realized he was in front of a packed club with barely a familiar face to greet him.

He had this look on his face that said he had no idea what he was doing there, she said grinning, and Nino smiled as he imagined Ohno standing in front of a crowd of people, looking lost and uncertain. Misono did her best to lure the older man to at least enjoy the night and Ohno took the opportunity to get mindlessly drunk before she could even stop him.

At that point, Misono was looking at him meaningfully, as if reading him from the corners of her eyes. Nino shrugged the thought off and waited, knowing that there was more to the story than just Ohno consuming half of the birthday party’s alcohol.

Misono started where she left off, saying that she had (not really intentionally) stayed beside Ohno all night, not because of anything, she said, (and actually got the nerve to roll her eyes at Nino while blushing furiously red) but because none of his band mates came to keep the older man’s company. It was also a fact, Nino remembered afterwards, that Jun and Sho wasn’t able to attend because of some urgent meeting regarding their upcoming concert and Aiba was also out of the country filming for his segment in TSD.

“You should be glad I was the one attending to him and not some random chick or reporter,” she mused quite proudly and Nino was again left wondering, especially when Misono paused for a long moment to stare at him in a way that made him shudder unconsciously.

“Stop talking in riddles and get on with it, Mi-chan!” Nino grumbled, a little annoyed.

Misono stopped short and tucked her hair behind her left ear, worrying her lower lip as she kept fidgeting with her fingernails. Nino sighed impatiently, eyes narrowing in suspicion.

“Because if it wasn’t me who was with him that night, you and Ohno-san would probably hit the headlines the very next day, Nino!”

Gaping, Nino stared dumbstruck as realization finally hit him hard in the face. His hands trembled and it took him quite huge amount of effort not to allow his lunch to escape his stomach while Misono remained silent beside him, probably waiting for him to regain his bearings. He wanted to say something to deny what have to be denied but what’s written all over Misono’s face was confirmation enough and Nino wished for the couch to open up and swallow him whole.

When at last his heartbeat returned to normal, Nino didn’t know if it was even possible to let her continue when he knew what was coming next. Misono kept sighing and she was probably feeling a bit disgusted with him and he knew he couldn’t blame her.

Nor he could never blame Ohno for blurting out the things that was supposed to be just between the two of them and yet –

“Do you love him?” Misono asked, startling Nino to the tips of his hair. Misono let out a satisfied sound at the back of her throat upon seeing Nino’s reaction.

Clearing his throat, Nino breathed, “Do you?” he countered, unperturbed.

Misono smiled softly and nodded. “Yes," as if she had no intention of denying it either, and Nino honestly wondered if he should be relieved or disappointed or both.

She continued with, "And please stop evading my questions. Do you love him or not?” she answered, lips curling with something akin to mischief. Nino couldn’t help but admire her all over again for admitting the things he knew he didn’t have any strength to admit himself. He looked away, trying hard to feign innocence though he knew damn well that Misono can read him like a book.

“Silence means yes, you know,” she added, her voice layered with tenderness.

Nino made a mental note never to let Misono inside his apartment again if he didn’t want to fall victim into her obviously stupid trap. He chuckled and leaned back, shaking his head.

“That is beside the point and no, I am not evading anything. You are not asking the right questions and I think you are not in the position to ~”

"Fine," she cut in, “But you’re fucking each other, aren't you?”

He gaped. And the way her eyes glimmered told him she realized she had just nailed the jackpot.

“Mi-chan, I don’t know what you’re trying to do here, but I’m telling you~”

“See, that’s what I thought. The two of you, you’re a bunch of idiots who think that most things could be resolved by not admitting the problem's there. Don't you guys know how talking works?"

“I'm not really sure what you're trying to do here, Mi-chan. I swear this is not making me any less confused.” he said, darting his glance elsewhere so he wouldn't have to keep looking at her. He didn't want to risk her seeing right through his lies, the way he suspected she already have.

“You’re smart, Ninomiya-san, and seriously, that’s why I’m finding it so hard to believe that you couldn’t figure out how simple things are between you two,” she whispered in a shaky voice as she stared straight into his eyes.

“Do you want me to spell it out to you or would you rather go find out for yourself?”

Nino shook his head repeatedly, hissing unintelligible words under his breath as she kept her gaze locked on his face. He didn’t know how Misono got the idea that everything about him and Ohno were simple because they weren’t. They never were. Eversince the reality that he fell in love with Ohno hit him straight in the face, Nino had been trying his hardest not to let the older man see how miserable he felt inside.

“You’re hallucinating, Mi-chan,” he grumbled, faking a laugh. Misono stared and pouted but otherwise didn’t say anything to get back at him. Nino didn’t want to admit it but he kind of wanted to just tell the girl off because he wasn’t entirely sure if he was going to make it for another minute without bursting the words that might forever ruin his chance of redeeming himself.

That was when her phone suddenly blared to life, startling Nino out of his wits. Misono looked vaguely smug as she reached out for her phone and Nino could swear her lips curled somewhat comically at the edges the minute she saw who it was.

“Ah, it’s my sister,” she muttered, probably to herself and started typing without looking up.

“So, are you saying you two are just fucking each other just for kicks? Like, without any emotions involved? Isn’t that a bit twisted?” she said in a tone that almost made Nino gagged with absolutely nothing. He could feel his patience sliding dangerously low and the bubble of too many unspoken emotions started building up to his throat that he had to blink back numerous times just to calm himself down.

“It’s not… I d-don’t…”

“It’s easier to say that you allowed it to happen because you love him too, right Nino?” she said and Nino couldn’t actually understand why her voice suddenly sounded so alive.

“Come on, Ninomiya. Go ahead and say it. You love Ohno-san, right? You love him so much that every nerve in your body goes haywire whenever he’s near. You may no longer notice it, because you've gotten used to it that the reaction no longer made you breathless, or nervous, but the signs are there just the same," she paused here to give him a look, still smiling as if she knew something he didn't.

"Tell me if I'm wrong, Nino," she said, eyes crinkling with barely concealed glee. "Say it isn't true. That you want him; you want Ohno-san so much that it's killing you right now, when you ache to touch him but you can't. You want all of him to yourself, and the thought that he'd gotten some stupid woman pregnant was enough to make you go ballistic," she said, leaning in closer until they were almost face to face.

"Just say it, Nino. You love him. You love him so much, come on, just say it. Say it!"

Fuck it all, Nino thought, gritting his teeth and curling his hands to fist. He was so angry, not at her but mostly at himself, and right that very moment, Nino felt like everything exploded into one giant ball of electric shock, hitting Nino in every direction until he was gasping for breath and the only thing he wanted to do was to feel the familiar warmth of Ohno’s body and the older man’s arms around him.

“Yes, okay?” he shouted out loud, not minding that his neighbors might think he was in some kind of trouble. “Yes, god damn it.” he said, a little softer this time, his body was shaking with the intensity of emotions flowing throughout his entire body. Then he leaned back and allowed the tears to consume him for once, feeling Misono’s hands patting his shoulders.

Nino wasn’t able to see the meaningful smile that lingered around the other girl’s lips as she shut her phone off and threw her arms around him, cradling her for as long as he would allow.

She bid him goodbye an hour later when she was sure he was calm enough to be left alone and not kill himself the minute she stepped outside his apartment. Nino reassured her for what seemed like the 20th time before Misono gingerly pecked his cheek and told him to stop worrying because who knew what might happen after this, right?

Nino forced out a smile and ruffled her hair like he always did. Misono giggled and Nino couldn’t help but love her even more. Maybe, when things weren’t as complicated as they were now, maybe they could go out some time and laugh and joke about how much of an idiot they were for falling in love with the same man.

Nino snorted at the thought but it otherwise made him feel a little better the way he hadn’t felt in weeks… or years, he didn’t even know anymore.

He stood up with the intention of sleeping off the remnants of his conversation with Misono when his doorball rang the second time that night and Nino shook his head, looking around thinking that it might be Misono again and that maybe she forgot something behind.

Realizing that there was nothing, Nino furrowed his brows and strutted towards the door, chuckling sheepishly. He turned the knob without thinking twice and his words were caught in his throat the minute he saw the person standing behind his door with his right hand froze in mid-air and was clearly about to pound his fist against Nino’s apartment door.

The one person Nino never thought of seeing, especially at that ungodly hour.

“O-Oh-chan?”

To Nino’s amusement, Ohno looked as if he was about to run away the moment their eyes met and that almost made him snort if not for the fact that he, actually, was supposed to be the one to feel that way.

Staring blankly at the older man’s face while keeping himself upright, Nino clenched his fingers round the knob and waited.

“N-Nino, I’m s-sorry… c-can I come in?”

Ohno looked tiny and vulnerable, his shoulders slumped as usual and his eyes lidded with something Nino couldn’t quite comprehend. He could feel that familiar wave of nausea hitting him the moment Ohno’s scent reached his senses and Nino had to grip the knob as tightly as he could to avoid falling over.

“W-What are you doing here? Is there something wrong? Did something happen?” the words were out of his lips before he could stop himself and it made him feel a little more pathetic knowing that Ohno could still make his head spin without him even realizing it.

Ohno stood there, not quite saying anything, nimbling his lower lip in a way that suggested he might cry and Nino had this aching need to reach out and touch the older man’s hand.

So he did.

Nino looked up in time to see Ohno’s eyes lit up in a way that always made his knees wobble and his hands started to shake the minute Ohno wrapped Nino’s hand with his own and pulled the younger man closer. Nino didn’t know exactly what happened because the next thing he knew, he was being pushed back as Ohno slid his fingers at the back of his head while the older man kissed him deeply… thoroughly.

“ – Ohchan, Oh~”

His words disappeared in between their lips as Nino tried holding on to every single bit of Ohno he can reach. He could taste the familiarity, the passion and the never-ending questions swirling around his head as Nino did his best to convey the words he couldn’t say by leaning in a lot closer than he usually allowed himself and closer than he had ever wanted to be.

Ohno was doing the same, Nino was quite sure about that because Ohno’s movements mirrored his own but with gentleness that made Nino want to do more than what he usually could. Growling under his breath, Nino pushed the older man to his couch and hurriedly removed all of their clothes while kissing every bit of exposed skin as he can while muttering Ohno’s name against the older man’s skin.

Nino craved this as much as he craved the man’s love itself and for the life of him, Nino swore it wasn’t as painful then as it was now.

The familiar burn made Nino wince but not in a way that would make Ohno stop his movement because he knew that Nino would bitch about how he always treat Nino like a girl. That made Ohno choked on a sob as he reached out to wipe the sweat off Nino’s temple, marveling for the nth time how well they fit against each other and how their hearts beats simultaneously as if they were one. Nino’s lips followed the trail of his fingers when Ohno ran his thumb down from Nino’s forehead to the tip of his nose then lingered it at Nino’s bruised lower lip. Nino smiled that one smile that always made Ohno’s heart flutter unceremoniously against his chest and Ohno wondered for what seemed like an eternity as to why none of them was able to find the strength to say what has supposed to be said years ago.

Ohno realized now how stupid the both of them were.

He braced himself over Nino, pausing to look straight into the younger man’s eyes and scanned Nino’s face as if it was the first time he was seeing him. Ohno leaned down and thrusted once while he watched Nino’s eyes fluttered open and small puffs of air came out of his slightly parted lips.

He reached down and wrapped his trembling fingers around Nino’s erection and Nino bucked his hips in time with Ohno’s thrust while they stared into each other’s eyes. Ohno kept watching the younger man as Nino did the same and it was too much… too much. Ohno felt like he was going to burst because Nino was clenching his muscles around him and before Ohno had the time to stop himself, Nino wailed helplessly and came shuddering against Ohno’s hand. Ohno shut his eyes closed and snapped his hips forward, burying himself deeper inside Nino’s body and whispering the words he had been wanting to say for the longest time.

“Nino… I love you… …”

Shock was definitely an understatement.

“You.. w-what?”

Nino tried pushing him off of him but Ohno stubbornly refused, his flesh still buried inside Nino’s body and Nino could feel himself getting worked up amazingly fast by just the thought of it. Ohno kept a firm hold of Nino’s hips while he made sure to balance himself on top of the younger man, knowing that there was only a limited time before Nino complained of being crushed by his weight.

Ohno pouted when Nino shoved him off once again and the younger man’s expression veering between clawing his eyes out and throwing Ohno off of him. Ohno managed a soft laugh that only made Nino a little bit more pissed.

“If you’re going to laugh at me then you better let me go so I can beat the crap out of you for being such a bastard,” Nino growled under his breath. “Fuck, Satoshi… I can’t breath, for crissake!”

Without a word, Ohno flipped their positions over until Nino was practically sprawled on top of him and his erection still firmly buried inside Nino’s ass. The position change did something wicked to Ohno’s senses and he smiled smugly when Nino gasped in a sharp breath the minute his cock twitched eagerly.

“I love you…” Ohno grumbled shakily, trying hard not to buck his hips because, god, he was hard again and Nino wouldn’t stop moving and it was difficult to concentrate on just talking when his lower half wanted to do something entirely else. “Aand I’m sorry if it took me a while to say it back but~”

Ohno knew he did something wrong, or said something wrong when Nino very clearly hissed something, like a swear word of some sort and tried lifting himself up but Ohno wasted no time as he wrapped an arm around Nino’s waist, pulling him back down.

“Where do you think you’re going? Didn’t I just told you I love you? Shouldn’t you be, I don’t know, happy?”

Nino growled. “What the hell do you mean with, you’re sorry it took you a while to say it back? I don’t remember telling you~”

A beat. Then the edges of Ohno’s eyes crinkled in a way that suggested he knew something Nino didn’t and his button nose scrunched up in a way that always made Nino’s inside burst with emotions he couldn’t describe.

Ohno grinned and nipped Nino’s chin lovingly. “Well, I called Mi-chan a little while ago, and accidentally overheard something I probably shouldn't have but -”

Nino felt his eyes go wide.

Fuck.Holy fucking fuck.

Nino’s head started spinning and the urge to kill himself right that very minute seemed to be a very good idea. That is, if Ohno had any intention of letting him go.

Nino slapped a hand over his temple then proceeded on washing it over his face in utter annoyance.

“I am so going to kill that girl..” he muttered. Ohno only laugh softly, pressing kisses over his temple as he brushed his fingers at the small of Nino’s back. So it wasn’t just a text message and it wasn’t Misono’s sister either.

Ohno was actually on the other end of the fucking line, listening to every damn word that came out of Misono’s mouth. Nino felt sick by how easily he was lured into agreeing when it was actually…

Damn.

So he did confessed first.

He was about to haul something into Ohno’s face, words that he thought would allow him to at least redeem his wounded pride when he saw Ohno’s expression darken at the slight movement he made on top of the older man. Realizing that he, actually, had his hands curled around Ohno’s arms and the older man’s own were gripping his thighs as if they were his life line, Nino decided it didn’t matter. Confessions be damned because right now, the only thing he wanted to do was to make love with Ohno in a way he never even imagined before.

A moan escaped Nino’s lips when Ohno suddenly snapped his hips up, effectively firing up every nerve on Nino’s body and feeling Ohno’s flesh throbbing painfully inside him. Ohno subtly licked the corners of Nino’s mouth as he softly curled his fingers around Nino’s cheek and murmured.

“Well, she actually demanded me for a whole week vacation in Korea, all expenses free. I haven’t said yes but I’m thinking about it…”

Nino muttered a grumbled curse and shifted himself as Ohno kept a firm hold on both of his hips, their bodies now glistening with sweat. There had to be at least one reason why they should not talk about THIS, not now, maybe later, because that burning ache at the pit of Nino’s stomach had to be relieved first but that indescribable feeling bubbling up in his chest was something he could not ignore no matter how hard he tried.

“YYou… l-love me?” Nino moaned the words at the same time Ohno rolled his hips and Nino swore violently as he tried blinking back the stars that exploded behind his eyelids.

Nino never thought it’d ever feel like this, but somehow Ohno managed to completely turn his life around with those three words Nino never thought he would ever hear the older man say. Not even once had Nino let himself imagined what it was like being the person whom Ohno would say those words to, but when he did, Nino found it even harder to believe but it equally stunned him by how those simple little words had made his entire night and probably his whole life.

He just realized how much he had waited for that confirmation and when it came, Nino never felt more happier.

Ohno grinned and pulled Nino down for a brief kiss, nodding.

“Since that night you found me… i-in that club’s…” he mumbled, a little distracted because Nino opted on drawing circles at the exposed skin of his stomach. “ – ahhh… I’m an idiot… I should have~”

It was that simple. No fireworks. No dramatic confessions. Letting out a choked laugh, Nino wondered briefly how in hell he had been afraid of this. When, after everything the both of them went through, things were just as easy as breathing. He was just too afraid to look past himself and just opted on letting his fear consume him rather than facing it.

Ohno loved him. And that, in it’s utter simplicity stunned him to no end.

Nino kissed the older man and smiled. “ – we both were…” he admitted in a low voice. “ – if not for Mi-chan~” he paused and buried his face on the crook of Ohno’s neck, letting himself dropped down on top of Ohno and marveling at the reality of finally being able to hold the older man freely… confidently.

Ohno moaned loudly when Nino suddenly lifted himself up and dropped himself back down. It was hot and the talk they were having was actually a little out of place but they knew they had to clear a lot of things up so they could both start anew, without hurting each other unconsciously.

“Yeah…” Ohno paused, lips parting as Nino ghosted wet kisses over the older man’s mouth. “ – I think I’m gonna have to give her that all expense paid, one week vacation to-”

He stopped and moaned when Nino bit his left nipple.

“Make it two, Satoshi…” Nino grumbled against his skin. “The lady deserved it…”

Nino walked in to a weeping Aiba, complete with hand gestures and with an expression resembling that of a puppy, while Arashi’s second oldest member kept patting the taller man’s shoulder to probably calm him down. Nino raised an eyebrow but otherwise said nothing, only looked around and when he realized that Ohno wasn’t in yet, he shrugged his shoulders and went straight to his usual place in the couch, passing his three idiot band mates.

Nino snorted and walked past them, mumbling something incoherent under his breath. Flopping himself lazily, Nino tried ignoring Jun’s meaningful stare as he fished out his DS from his pocket and started playing. He chuckled when Jun pointedly stare at him, his mouth pressed into a thin line.

“What is it now?” Nino grumbled, to Aiba or to Jun, nobody knew. Aiba’s wailing went up a notch and Nino swore quietly. Aiba really know how to pissed everyone’s morning off.

“Mi-chan had an abortion! Leader will probably cry when he hears about this! I didn’t know Mi-chan’s capable of doing such horrible thing!” Aiba wailed in between sniffing.

Oh.

So that was what it’s all about.

Abortion, huh? Those tabloids really know how to twist something to their advantage and frankly, that didn’t surprised Nino at all. Shaking his head, Nino couldn’t help but smile at the memory of their last conversation with Misono just a few days ago. The little wench was squealing like crazy when Ohno handed her ticket and the details of her free two-week vacation, complete with hotel accomodation and spa.

If only they knew how that little witch was enjoying her time in Korea with her newly found Korean boyfriend.

Jun was still looking at him suspiciously. Nino ignored him entirely, his eyes darting from his DS to the door. Where is Ohchan when you need him? ~ he thought silently.

Jun’s stared some more. Nino ignored him again.

“Suck it up, Emperor,” Nino mumbled. “You won’t hear me say it so you better wait for the person to whom you might get your information from…”

Sho stared at them, confused. Jun’s brows quirked.

Whatever.

The door opened, reavealing a (as usual) sleepy Leader, mumbling something about coffee or fish, nobody knew. Nino beamed when Ohno’s gaze darted straight to his face and the older man’s eyes lit up automatically.

Jun gasped in surprise.

Nino looked absolutely delighted seeing Jun react like a teenage bitch.

“Leader!” Aiba wailed miserably. Sho patted him again, shaking his head.

“Nino!” Jun hissed. Nino ignored him as the slighter man stood up and to everyone’s shock, he threw his arms around Ohno’s neck and kissed the man fully on the mouth.

Jun very clearly shrieked like a girl.

Whatever.

And when Ohno sighed contentedly against Nino’s mouth while the older man’s arms wrapped him into a tight embrace, Nino knew it was confirmation enough. No need for them to say it out loud.

Finally.
