Nino sighed opening his eyes as the shrill alarm, it had been a week since he had arrived back home at his mums and he was still trying hard not to think about Sakurai. He was spending so much time not thinking about him that when he actually thought about it he was thinking about him more than ever. Another person that he was avoiding like the plague and that was Jun, even though he was here every other day Nino hid in his bed room refusing to come out until he was gone so they hadn’t spoken since that time in the bedroom. He wondered why he kept coming but his mum had refused to tell him, just giving him a blank smile and asking if he had heard from Sakurai. He had dared to climb onto the roof of the house last night to see if he could get a signal. His in box was full of messages and his call log had dozens of missed calls from both Sakurai and Aiba and he had made a mental not to phone his manager at some point and give him his mums new number he had wanted to read the messages but he wasn’t sure which scared him the most first, that he was saying ‘sorry’ or that he was saying ‘I’m breaking up with you’.

He gave another sigh and swung his legs out of the bed and pulled out Sakurai’s t-shirt. Thinking about it for only half a second he tugged it over his head not caring when it sagged around his shoulders and hung a little around his thighs. He wanted the dull empty ache to go away but somehow he suspected that it wouldn’t for a long time. Sakurai had been the biggest part of his life for too long for it to be fixed so quickly. He pulled on his jeans and went downstairs smiling when he heard his mum humming as she prepared food.

“Good morning,” he said as brightly as he could and Kazuko turned her warm smile lighting her face

“Good morning sweetie… Sit down breakfast is almost done …” She said and Nino sighed doing as he was told although he would have been happy with just a mug of coffee and maybe a cigarette, he hadn’t smoked for months but right now he thought about smoking about the same as he thought about Sakurai. As he sat at the table he looked at his mum in the cream apron and slowly he started to realise that his first thoughts about her were right. She had lost a considerable amount of weight since the last time he had seen her and there were a lot grey hairs around her temples.

“Mum… Have you been ill?” He asked softly and he was positive she stiffened

“I… Yes… But I’ve seen a doctor” Kazuko said putting his breakfast down in front of him and then took her place, stroking the table with her hand her eyes looking glazed and distant. “Um… Actually I need some more medication…”

“I’ll fetch it for you” Nino mumbled and there was another smile and then they were back to the tense silence that seemed to have developed between them over the past week. Nino knew his reasons for staying quiet but he could sense that there was something that his mum wasn’t telling him. After breakfast he did the dishes before heading out and up the hill the doctor’s surgery. Even though it was still early there were a few people out and about doing their morning activities. Although he had been here for a week this was his first trip into the main village and if he was honest he was feeling more nervous than opening night in front of a sell-out theatre. Nino found it hard to speak to the people here, the adults all knew the truth about him and whenever he came home they only ever spoke to him out of duty to his mum. Hurrying up he went to the doctors surgery, though only looked a tiny bit more modern than the surrounding buildings.

He pushed open the door and stepped inside, surprised to find that the old surgery was empty with only a note pad on the side with a message telling people to leave a message and the doctor would pop around as soon as possible, it was defiantly something that you wouldn’t expect to find in . Taking the pencil he was just about to write a note when the door opened, Nino turned quickly his mouth dropping open when he saw Jun, who was just as surprised to see him.

“… Are you stalking… me now?” Nino managed to get out wishing that it had more bite he wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible when he remembered what he had told him the last time they had been in the same room. Jun blinked his hand slipping away from the door handle as he came fully into the surgery

“You wish I happen to work here…” He said walking past him and putting down a black messaging bag before checking the notebook with a soft sigh. Nino blinked staring at the tired pale but oddly beautiful face unable to work out what that meant until he saw a certificate on the wall with the name ‘Matsumoto Jun’

“You’re the doctor?” He gasped unable to keep the stunned amazement out of his voice.

“You got a problem with that?” Jun shrugged and Nino was surprised to see a faint blush in his cheeks “So what is it you need? Though I don’t think we have anything that can make…”

“The gay go away?” Nino mumbled his eyes narrowing quickly

“I was going to say dick-head exes…” Jun said holding up his hands in a submissive pose and Nino almost gave a smile.

“Mum asked me to pick up her medication…” Nino said holding up a white piece of paper and Jun nodded taking it before heading behind the counter and taking a box that had been stored on the shelf. Jun stayed frozen with his hand on the shelf for a few moments chewing on his lip before he turned around and giving him a small slightly nervous looking smile

“I might not have anything to make him vanish but how about we go for a drink?” He asked and Nino almost choked as he stared at him glad when his bratty cocky side decided to make an appearance

“Are you asking me out?” he smirked watching for Jun to look disgusted but the doctor’s smile just got bigger.

“If I was you’d know… For now though I’m just offering a bar and some company” He said holding the medication against his chest and waiting for an answer. Nino stared at him his mouth opening and closing as he tried to work out what angle the doctor was playing. The day he had arrived he was acting like he had in high school, a complete and utter jerk but now he actually seemed to be trying to act like a decent human being, there were two possibilities A: He was feeling sorry for him and was honestly trying to extend and olive branch or b (The most likely): Was that this was some new kind of way of torturing him, maybe lulling him into a false sense of security before all the jocks were going to pounce and dress him in fake breasts.

“So if I agree are you going to pour glue down my trousers?” Nino asked remembering a similar incident in high school and Jun looked embarrassed as he did the same. There was a guilt ridden expression in his eyes too and Nino was almost blown away by it

“No… I just want a chance to make it up to you…” Jun answered softly sounding completely sincere and against his better judgement Nino agreed.

“Okay fine, but as far as I can remember there isn’t a real bar around here”

“You haven’t been back for a year then… There’s an inn in the centre of the village now… But don’t worry I’ll take you after I’ve been to see your mum” Jun told him handing him the tablets and flashing him a warm smile. The brief brush of the fingertips caused a strange sensation in the pit of his stomach that he didn’t even want to think about right now. Instead he focused on the words that the doctor had said about visiting his mum

“What is wrong with her?”

“She had a bad chest infection that hasn’t wanted to clear” Jun murmured gently and Nino nodded his body relaxing before another idea popped into his head

“If it’s just a chest infection why have you been going to see her every other day?” He asked and Jun laughed

“Just to make sure that it doesn’t develop into something serious, don’t worry…” Nino nodded chewing his lip as he played with the bag of tablets. Jun checked his watch as the door opened revealing Mrs Takashi and her youngest grandson “I’ll see you later Nino”

Nino nodded living the surgery and starting back towards his mums home and he was half way back before he realised that if Jun was coming to see his mum that afternoon he would have brought the tablets around anyway so there was no reason for him to have gone to the surgery except for him to speak to Jun and he wanted to know what his mum was playing at.

Kazu's mother is playing some trick. XD Very smart, we wouldn't expect so much from her. Actually, she manipulated Kazu !

I'm sure it's for his own well being, after all, it's her son and she loves him and she knos something about Jun that Nino doesn't...

Mmm... something going on between these characters. lol Meanwhile, Nino doesn't think too much about Sakurai so he suffers less, good.
