“It is the only car here” Satoshi chuckled carefully resting the bag of puppies carefully against his hip before handing over his key. Nino’s stomach swooped again as he looked at the smile on the man’s face. It was one he would never have dreamed Satoshi was capable of, soft and endearing with his eyes shining with fondness and amusement. The look was enough to get him to think about the whispered confession. He hadn’t thought all that much about it, but he knew that he would have to soon. He still had no idea what his feelings were, and he doubted it was something that would change overnight. Satoshi was doing his best to change his opinion and it was working slowly, bit by bit, but there was still a lot of pain inside. “So, do you think that you can drive it?”
“I think I can, but I don’t know if I should, this car has to be worth more than I make in year…” Nino squeaked his hand trembling round the key that wasn’t really a key but more of a sensor. “When you said you brought a car to learn in, I was expecting something more…Down to earth”
“I liked the car, Sho was buying one similar so I thought why not?”
“Not a good attitude for somebody who can’t drive yet to have.” Nino sighed thinking that the rich really did have a completely different lifestyle to the poor. He as paid well at Yama heights, as was Masaki but their idea of luxury was ordering extra helpings at the local takeaway not a brand new car. “Are you sure about letting me drive?”
“How long have you known me Kazunari? Have I ever said anything that I wasn’t sure about? Come on if we hang around any longer the roads will fill with snow again” Satoshi patted him on the back and Nino supposed that the act was meant to be comforting but it served to make his heart rate increase and for him to need to swallow deeply. Unsure of the reaction he swallowed down the lump from the back of his throat and unlocked the door muttering;
“You know, there are somethings you don’t need to say. Are the puppies okay?”
“Warm and sleeping, come on” Satoshi slid into the front seat, the belt coming down automatically and slotting itself into place snugly around his body, leaving him free to place the puppies on his lap in their little basket. Nino hummed rolling his eyes before nervously going to the driver’s side. It was unnerving to have the belt wrap around him, but he ignored the feeling looking at the dashboard and feeling out of his depth.
There were more knobs and buttons than were needed on a space shuttle and he was sure that he was feeling close to being overwhelmed by them all. Chewing on his tongue he pleased the key near the key lock and to his relief he car came to life with a happy and healthy purr. There was barely even a hint from the car that it was revving, and he took a breath adjusting himself for a moment or two before making efforts to move the car out of the garage. It handled like a dream, completely soft and delicate to the touch and Nino was surprised at how easily he got used to handling it.
“Wow, this is amazing…” He breathed almost forgetting that Satoshi was beside him as he pulled up at a light. “This is a dream, right? It’s got to be, I can’t really be driving a BMW”
“You are” Ohno chuckled at his left and Nino flushed a little before ignoring the smirk and deciding to make the most of the feeling. “So, shall I give you the address or do you want to drive aimlessly for a while longer?”
“If there weren’t puppies to think about I would keep driving, but you’re probably right about needing the address” Nino replied flashing him a happy smile, getting a strange buzz when the person in the next car turned to look at them. His eyes were moving over the body with his mouth open a little. Even if the man was just looking at the car Nino couldn’t help but feel like a movie star. He sat a little higher in the seat “You really have to learn to drive this, Satoshi! It’s awesome! You’ll love it!”
“You certainly seem to be enjoying yourself”
“I’m the type of person that the showroom would refuse to let in the building, so I would have even thought it possible for me to drive this kinda car! Of course, I’m enjoying it!” Nino shot back as he cleanly pulled away from the light. He had never been a petrol head, while most of the boys in his class were fighting over the cars in the toybox he was happy enough with the puzzle boards but even he could appreciate that it was an amazing car and that he was privileged to be driving it.
“If I never learn to drive you can keep it, at least it won’t be just gathering dust…”
“Is this another attempt to pay me? Because I wouldn’t be able to afford the insurance on this this thing, so you can get that idea out of your head” Nino’s good mood was gone in an instant at the words and his hands tensed around the steering wheel.
“Honestly, I didn’t even think of it as me paying you for anything. I just…I thought that since you were enjoying it so much you might…I’m sorry…” Satoshi looked and sounded genuine enough and Nino let out a sigh deciding that maybe he was being too sensitive. He always had been about money and about people offering it him. Jun had always been the type of person that would offer to pay for everything and anything and it had served to make him grow angry with his friend until he stopped doing it.
“I’m sorry too, for snapping, I just…I just hate people offering me things….” He grumbled casting his boss a sideways look “…It doesn’t matter anyway, ‘cause you’ve got nine months to learn to drive”
“Why nine…”
“You live in the middle of no-where, I'm going to need you to know how to drive if I go into labour…” Nino shuddered at the idea of being in pain during labour. To his surprise Satoshi took his sort of joke seriously and nodded humming;
“I will do my best. Now, lets get to the vet…”
“Aye-aye captain”
