21-year-Old, Satoshi walked through arrivals feeling tired and groggy from the flight but he didn’t want to sleep, his eyes were searching the crowds of people. There was only one face that he wanted to see and that was his Nino. They hadn’t seen each other for two years, ever since their introduction at his art show. His placement in Europe had already been arranged before meeting Nino and there had been no way of getting out of it. They had spent many hours talking via the internet though and Satoshi had to admit that he was more excited than he really had the right to be, more so as he was also incredibly nervous wondering if Nino would even show up. His hope turned to disappointment as he reached the end of the crowd and he tried his best not to let it get to him.

He had hoped that Nino might have felt the same way for him as he did but since they had never talked about it, it shouldn’t surprise him too much that he didn’t. His luggage came through the little slot and he grabbed it all with just his hands wishing that he had brought a trolley. Feeling a little like he was attempting to do the world’s greatest balancing act he started to make his way slowly to the exit hoping that he would be able to get a taxi. He had told his parents not to bother coming for him as he had hoped to spend time with Nino but now he felt rather foolish for doing

“I think you might be needing this” A voice said at his side and he turned slowly to see an 18-year-old Nino staring at him with a bright smile on his face. Sweat was running down his cheeks and his hair was clinging to his forehead “Sorry, I wanted to be here to see you off the plane but I was working and then there wasn’t a train…Um…Welcome back”

“...I’m back” Satoshi replied slowly his heart skipping and dancing around inside his chest as dropped down all his belongings and then stood awkwardly in front of Nino. During their two year, online friendship they had started to talk about everything and anything under the sun but now, face to face like this, it was difficult to believe how hard it was to get a word out.

**~*~~*~**
Nino huffed out a breath as he ran into the airport. In his mind, he was cursing his boss and the train service. He had no idea if Satoshi had already landed or not and he really didn’t want to miss him. Theirs was a strange relationship, for he was certain that they were in a relationship, and had been since meeting Satoshi at his art show two years ago. He still got a buzz of excitement as he thought about their chance meeting and the way they had spent the entire night in a café drinking coffee and talking. His parents hadn’t been too happy about it when he had gotten home the next day but it had been worth it.

It had been hard to know that Satoshi would be going away when they had been just found each other again but he had been glad that the artist had asked him to keep in touch. They had talked to each other every day and then finally after two whole years, Satoshi had announced that he was coming back, and Nino doubted that he had ever been so excited. Now he was late. He skidded to an ungraceful stop and scanned the board noticing that Satoshi’s flight had already arrived and then he saw him, struggling with a mountain of bags. Nino chuckled a little and then grabbed a trolley the strangest sensation washing over him as something like a memory of a dream tried and failed to make its presence known in his mind. Sighing he shrugged it away and moved forward saying;

“I think you might be needing this” Satoshi looked both pleased and shocked and quickly he tried to explain “Sorry, I wanted to be here to see you off the plane but I was working and then there wasn’t a train…Um…Welcome back”

“I’m back…”

“….Um…Shall we go then?” Nino asked and slowly Satoshi nodded and together they left the airport both somehow knowing that this was it. Them together for the rest of their lives.

THE END

A/N: HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM………..I really hope that this was as fluffy as I hoped it would be >.<
