krystalkatzficz | A not so hopeless crush part 31 (Reply)

Jun frowned just a little as he placed up the salty drinking snacks on to a plate ready for serving. He could hear Masaki and Toma in the background acting like a couple of fish wives and he wanted to get back in as soon as possible knowing from his outfit that Nino was nervous. He knew Masaki was disappointed not to see him in casual clothes but Jun actually like the prince look he was going with at the moment thinking that it was making him look cute. He could easily imagine Nino as a bratty prince of some far flung country. Picking up the trays of food he carried them into the living room surprised that Nino wasn't there. A quick look told him that Satoshi was also absent from the party. Sho caught his eye and then jerked his head on the direction on the balcony. It was the only place that he actually cared about as it offered a great view of the city line and looked rather magical when all the lights were one. It was as though they were replacing stars.

Through the window he could make out two figures against the rail and Jun was relieved to see that that there was a smile on Nino’s face which was mirrored by one on Satoshi's. He couldn't hear what they were saying but he did see Satoshi lay a gentle hand on his shoulder before coming inside and leaving Nino on the balcony. Jun put the food down and then hurried over to his leader who smiled and winked before wordlessly waving him towards Nino.

The air was crisp as he stepped out onto the cement balcony and he was glad that he was wearing his woolly cardigan and without it he was sure he'd freeze. He walked up behind Nino and decided that since they'd shared a bed it was safe enough for him to wrap his arms around him from behind and rest his chin on his shoulder. Nino didn't complain, I fact he pressed back into him quickly and together they watched the lights for a while before he asked;

“Is everything okay?” He asked after a while and Nino gave a nod letting out a long sigh that genuinely rippled through him before he answered;

“Yeah-es…just some silly memories that I didn't want…”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“Not…I mean it's really nice of you but…I'm not ready to shared everything yet…When I'm ready…” Nino left the sentence unfinished but Jun knew what he was asking and he finished it for him sort of.

“When you're ready I'll be ready and waiting…are you ready to go back in?”

“Yeah sure Ohno-San said something about a personal karaoke machine…” Nino said with a smile and Jun was glad to see it as he lightly kissed the man’s temple and then led him back inside. Toma and Masaki seemed to have calmed down to more adult levels and Jun was pretty sure that it had a lot to do with the fact that Satoshi was glaring at them. The games machine had been set up and the TV was flickering away to itself. As they spent so much time singing karaoke seemed to be a chore sometimes but the game they had was mostly Disney songs and it was always fun to consume alcohol and then work your way through be our guest. Of course getting to that point was also fun and he sat himself on the floor and tugged Nino down into his lap not caring about the looks that they got not that they got anything bad just smiles from the assembled guys but he ignored them and poured himself and then Nino a drink.

“Cheers!” Masaki shouted the drink in his hands sloshing around dangerously as he lifted it up and then brought it back to his lips sipping on it slowly. Each of them followed suit and then the drinking began in earnest.

“We should play a game!” Toma suggested with a touch of a slur to his voice half an hour later and Jun blinked slowly at him. Nino’s stiff form had been relaxing with the aid of the alcohol, Jun could feel it with the way that he was sitting in his lap and the way that he had been talking to Satoshi about something and nothing for the last ten minutes but now he stiffened a little bit. “The guessing game! Where you have to put the paper on your forehead with the name of a famous person and people have to guess…Guess who you are!”

“Yay! Sounds like fun!” Masaki agreed bouncing up and down a little and Jun was more than happy to point out that of course it sounded fun. It was something they did so often that they had pre-written stickers. The box was brought out and Nino relaxed again starting to have fun when he was given the stack to shuffle and he was able to do a few fancy tricks.
