The Storm and the Scorpion part fifty-six

“I mean…I…If…I…Could I would want to be able to believe you…” Nino babbled wishing that he could find the words to say out loud what he was thinking in his head. He wanted more than ever to believe Jun’s words almost instinctively knowing that Jun wouldn’t say those things if he didn’t mean them but Nino knew that he didn’t know how to love somebody.

“Kazu…You don’t have to explain yourself, I completely understand…” Jun smiled at him caressing his cheek again before turning his attention to the steering wheel and Nino felt his shoulders relax glad that some of his babble was making sense “I swear that I wasn’t going to tell you this until a very long time into the future but…Like I said your letter moved me and I wasn’t able to do anything but confess to you…”

“I’m happy…I think…But…I…Don’t…Know…How to love somebody…My first master he told me that he loved me…He would cuddle me and kiss the top of my head…But...It…Didn’t feel like this…” Nino hummed his hand tugging free of Jun’s so that he could take the older man’s and gently place it over his heart so he could feel the thudding. “When you say it…My insides feel funny…My heart feels like it is coming out of my chest…And my stomach turns like when you go over a bridge too quickly…”

“I see…” Jun whispered with a strange sort of grin his eyes flashing with a strange light and Nino hoped that whatever he had said had pleased him. Jun darted forward and kissed the tip of his nose before saying “I will just have to accept that for now…And I’ll continue to work on winning your heart…”

“…Yes…” Nino nodded slowly not knowing what else to say. Jun chuckled ruffling his hair before starting to drive again. The air was considerably lighter around them with Jun softly talking about random things that they saw as they drove.

“We’re almost at the house now…You should be able to see it soon…” Jun hummed pulling into between a large set of gates and following the directions to the car park. After another long drive the house finally came into view looming up out of the grass. It was a beautiful old fashioned place with what seemed like a 100 windows with a dozen chimneys stretching high into the air.

“Wow…It’s a big place ne?” Nino whispered his nose pressed up against the glass of the window disappointed when they pulled into a parking space and the house was hidden by trees. Jun killed the engine again and unbuckled his seatbelt.

“Ready to go in?” He asked and Nino nodded hurrying out of the car. Jun laughed at his enthusiasm and climbed out of the car behind him. Together they walked out of the carpark to the ticket office where Jun spoke to the very friendly person behind the counter and paid their entrance fee. “Here you, the players are set to Japanese so we’ll be able to understand what’s going on…”

“Okay…” Nino nodded taking the head phones and placing them over his head. Jun smiled and grabbed his hand leading him out through the far side door. The path was crunchy under his feet but Nino had almost forgotten about the house nod his eyes on Jun’s hand that was holding his that annoying fluttery feelings twisting around inside his chest.

A/N: I hope that this is okay ^_^ for anyone thinking of visiting the UK and wanting to go around the old castles and Houses then I would suggest joining up to the National Trust. It costs £60 but you can pay it monthly for £5 (It’s cheaper if you’re under 25 only £30 for the year £3 a month) and when you think that most of the houses are around £10 to get in you only need to go to seven and you’ve started saving already J Plus they give you some really nice binoculars if you set up a direct debit. For Americans they have an arrangement with your version of the Trust (The Royal Oak foundation?) …Ahem sorry for becoming like a weird advertisement >.<
