krystalkatzficz | Kazunari Matsumoto-Ninomiya part 21

"I'm taking your truck…” Satoshi announced when he finally awoke the next morning, glad that the fine weather of the previous day had held up and the sun was shining brightly through the window. His uncle stared at him over the corner of a paper his eyebrows lifting as he gave something of a smirk saying;

“You're lucky that I wasn't planning on using it then…what's wrong with your bike?”

“Nothing's wrong with Arashi…I'm just going fishing and I need somewhere to store the gear…” Satoshi said pulling said equipment out of the cupboards annoyed by the chuckle that came from his uncle’s direction. The man had gone back to looking at his paper but Ohno knew that he was no more reading it than he was. “What’s got into you, old man?”

“Nothing just happy for you…can't a man be happy that his nephew without it causing offence?” The man huffed love ring his paper to look at him fully and Satoshi felt mildly uncomfortable under the stare “you've not been yourself since getting out…it's good to see you looking happier again…I don't know who this girl is but I can't wait to meet her…you'll have to bring her round…”

“What? Here? No way!” Satoshi growled trying to imagine what Nino would look like here in his uncle’s home. He didn’t think that Nino would mind too much but trying to picture him sitting with his uncle dressed on in a pair of boxers and a vest under the kotasu with car parts all around him. It seemed such a harsh image for somebody as soft as Nino. Of course his uncle looked offended but it was just for show as he was smirking and his eyes were sparkling with his joy.

“What this place isn’t good enough for your girlfriend?”

“…Nope…It stinks…Anyway I gotta get going I wanna pick some stuff up from the shop…” Satoshi said grabbing a slice of toast from his uncle’s plate and heading out through the door complete with the keys to his uncle’s trunk, the fishing equipment, and his wallet. He had arranged with Nino to meet at the station at 11 and it was already 10:30 meaning that he only had half an hour to do all he wanted. Yawning to shake off the sleepy feeling that had wrapped around him he stretched out his back and dumped the fishing gear into the back of the rusty red truck hoping that Nino wouldn’t be too horrified at the state of it.

The cab was somewhat clean and after he sprayed around a pine air freshener it didn’t smell too bad either. He climbed inside and switched on the ignition causing the truck to roar into life. He pulled out of the garage and out onto the street glad that there weren’t many cars as he made his way to the big 24hr convenience store that for some reason wasn’t very convenient. It was more local to Nino’s area than his own and the car park was normally filled with the kind of cars he used to boost. Sighing he made sure that he looked somewhat presentable and walked to the store staring in surprise when he saw the greater who he recognised from the picture that Nino had shown him before their first date. “Jun-kun?” He muttered stupidly and the man pulled a face for a moment before flashing him a polite smile his head cocking to one side as he said;

“Hello and welcome…If you need anything please don’t hesitate to ask…”

“Um…Yeah…Right…” Satoshi offering an awkward bow before scurrying off in the direction of the picnic goods uncomfortably aware of Jun’s eyes staring at his retreating back. It wasn’t the best first meeting with his boyfriend’s brother and he could only hope that when they did meet properly Jun wouldn’t remember this.
