A not so hopeless crush part 59

[krystalkatzfics]

 Jun rubbed his tired eyes as he headed into Nino’s apartment building. It was later than even he had thought he would be and he had thoroughly intended to go to his own apartment but then he had remembered the nerves in Nino’s voice as he had suggested he come over and he knew that if he didn’t arrive Nino would think all kind of things and upset himself. He realised only when he reached the door that he didn’t have a key for the apartment. Chewing on his lip he looked at his phone and saw that Nino hadn’t responded to the last message he had sent and it was possible he had fallen to sleep no matter what he had said to the contrary.

Even knowing that it was stupid, nobody would leave their door unlocked, Jun still tried the handle and then almost growled with anger when it easily opened and the door swung forward. A light was on and he carefully stepped inside feeling almost like a thief in the night until he called out;

“Nino? I’m home” Not getting an answer he locked the door with all the security that it had to offer and then slipped his feet out of his shoes before heading further into the apartment. There was a lingering smell of food that had been cooked and the gentle aroma of wild flowers which clung to Nino’s skin and Jun genuinely felt at home. More so than he did his own apartment even if he liked it enough not to want Masaki messing everything up.

The light was flickering just a little against the wall indicating that it was coming from a TV screen and not from an actual light and Jun clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth a lecture about light damaging his lover’s eyes dying on his lips as he took in the sight that was before him. Nino was sat on the floor with his legs curled underneath him and his head resting on his arms. His eyes were closed and his mouth was open as he drooled just a little. His face was clean of make-up and he was wearing cute, white, rabbit pyjamas.

“I told you that you didn’t have to stay waiting for me” the idol said with a smile though his heart was bursting with the knowledge that he had waited for him. The TV wasn’t switched on but the laptop was and the screen was paused on a fan-made Arashi video. It didn’t take him long to realise that Nino had book marked the video months ago, long before they had started dating and he imagined himself doing the same thing with one of Nino’s videos. He sank down onto the floor beside his lover resting his own head on the cushioned pillow and just stared at the man realising how much more alive he felt having somebody beside him when he returned home. “Thank you” he whispered his hand coming up to stroke away the purple fringe away from his eyes being careful not to disturb him even though he knew that Nino was going to have a nasty creak in his neck when he woke up. “I love you”

“Un…I love you…too…” Nino replied catching his hand and holding it against his cheek as his eyes opened. They were a little blood shot from lack of sleep but otherwise they were clear and happy looking at him with love and again Jun’s heart filled with a rush of love and warmth. “You’re late”

“I warned you that I would be…” Jun stopped his stomach growling loudly announcing that he had been so busy that he hadn’t even thought about stopping to get something to eat. “Sorry”

“I cooked for you, it’s in the oven” Nino hummed through a yawn righting himself and wincing as he tried to move his neck.

“Are you okay?”

“Slept at a funny angle, I can get rid…” Nino said starting to rub at the tense muscles with his fingers and Jun moved to stop him. It was strange, only five minutes ago he could have slept standing up but now he felt awake enough to run a bath and massage Nino’s neck until every little ebb of pain had gone away.

“Let me, okay?”

“You need food…”

“Okay I’ll eat and then you let me take care of you…” Jun smiled when he saw Nino gave a pained nod and then they both went back out into the kitchen. Nino woke up slowly as he insisted on putting out the food that he had made and Jun sat at the table watching him happily with a smile on his face. It was a domestic scene and he wished that he could come back to it tomorrow and then the next day. “Why were you watching the video?”

“Which video?”

“The Arashi video. It was on pause when I came in…”

“Oh…Um…That one…Somebody…They linked it on my video. You said my name in it” Nino answered the tips of his ears burning and Jun wasn’t all that surprised. He said Nino’s name a lot before as he was somebody that he had always wanted to meet and was incredibly jealous that Masaki was always the one going on his show.

“I did?”

“Yeah, your guest asked which celebrity would you really like to meet and you said me. The girl thought it was cute and there is the rumour about you carrying me up the steps on Vs’s” Jun smiled at the memory. Of course, he had heard the gasps of the fans but he hadn’t cared, all he had cared about was getting to Nino and making sure he was okay. “If we’re not more careful people are going to start shipping us together and then there will be rumours”

“There will always be rumours. I love you and that’s all that matters”
