My Demon Boss and Other Annoyances part 48

“That was delicious” Satoshi remarked pushing away his plate where he had been having a third helping. It felt amazing that his meal had been so well received and Kazu gave a smile finishing his own meal. Masaki had noisily finished his own a while ago and had gone off to admire the snow in the gathering twilight. Through the window Nino could see that the moon was causing the snow to sparkle, and he could easily see why Masaki was so enchanted, but he also suspected that Masaki was also trying to give them space. He was happy for his friend’s efforts as he was putting Masaki’s advice into action and trying to think of Satoshi as separate entity from Ohno.

“I didn’t have time to make dessert and honestly I’m not good at making them. I never really eat them” Nino shrugged noting that he had ate more tonight than he had in a while and he hoped hat this wouldn’t be the start of pregnancy cravings. He’d hoped for a little longer before having to suffer that. He touched his stomach slowly with his fingers hoping that he wouldn’t start feeling sick again later.

“Too bad, I enjoy sweet things” Satoshi chuckled, and Nino almost felt bad that he hadn’t made one. His mother had always enjoyed amazingly decorated cakes with swirls of cream and sugar roses. Since she had passed away he hadn’t bothered eating anything sweet “I will bring some sweet things back tomorrow, if you’ll be staying again, that is…”

“I’m staying…If that’s okay with you?”

“I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t, Kazunari, I enjoy having you here. It’s nice having company”

“It’s a big house for one person” Nino mumbled looking around the luxurious house yet again. It was the thing that had struck him on his first day here. The house seemed to have been built for a family and he couldn’t imagine anyone rattling away inside all by themselves.

“…I started designing the house when I was ten, I suppose subconsciously I wanted a family house over anything else” Satoshi sighed and Nino let out a gasp his mouth falling open while his eyes bulged with disbelief.

“Ten?! You designed all of this when you were ten?”

“Not all of it, But I did know I wanted the glass floor to overlook a lake and for there to be big French windows opening onto the lake, so I could get a boat in the morning and just row if I wanted” Satoshi hummed his fingers playing a melody on the table and Nino smiled trying his hardest to picture the man sitting across from him as a child. It was difficult to do, as he imagined him to be always older, but when he smiled and flushed awkwardly it wasn’t too difficult.

“Even as a boy, you liked fishing?”

“I liked anything that would take me away from the house and my sister would come with me” Satoshi gave a lazy smile his eyes seeming to dim as he thought of the past. “To be honest we never fished. She would lay with her head on my chest and found patterns in the clouds”

“Sounds almost idyllic” Nino sighed looking to the window and finding himself picturing Satoshi on the lake with their child while he sat in the entrance with the dogs around him. The image came so clearly and sharply that Nino had to blink with the force of it. “I can’t stand boats, or I would wish that I could do something like that”

“Maybe you could get used to it, but if not, I would rather not have you get sick just for a silly thing like that” Satoshi hummed, and Nino shook his head. Fishing was silly in his opinion but what he had just described made him feel almost envious.

“I don’t think it’s silly. I think it’s beautiful and I wish that I had done something like that”

“You don’t have to be on a boat, you know, when spring comes I will take you somewhere…” Satoshi offered, and Nino gave a happy nod before jumping to his feet and grabbing his hand. “Where are we going?”

“There is something else I’ve never done…” Nino answered dragging him to the side door. He felt almost giddy with the idea of it. Satoshi’s fingers linked together tightly with his while his thumb moved in steady swipe. Nino matched the action but tried his hardest to ignore the feeling that was churning away inside of him. “Star gazing. I’ve never done it even once. Masaki does it all the time, but I bet that it’s better here in the wilds”

“We’re not in the back of beyond you know” Satoshi chuckled but still followed him. It was chilly out in the garden, but Satoshi’s arm was soon slung around his shoulder pulling him against his body. Masaki was off in the distance with his dog by his side, but Nino made it only as far as the centre of the garden where there was a space between the trees and the light of the house wasn’t too bad. He stopped and turned his head upwards. As he had thought the number of stars that he could see was simply amazing. “Can you believe how many there are! It’s beautiful!”

“There are as many as there are grains of sand” Satoshi hummed lightly, and Nino let out a whistle shuffling himself more in front of the man. Satoshi seemed a little surprised but eventually wrapped his arms about his waist and rested his chin on his shoulder. Nino leaned back against him surprised when they started rocking from side to side as though they were dancing. “I’m afraid I don’t know the constellations, or I would share them with you”

“It doesn’t matter, they are still nice without knowing the names” Nino sighed before looking down at the snow and deciding that it really was beautiful here. Almost like a movie set more than something real and he was almost disappointed when Satoshi said;

“The snow is going to thaw a little tonight at least according to the weather forecasters”

“Not exactly known for their reliability. But we should be able to go into work tomorrow” Nino sighed almost reluctantly though he had to admit that he was looking forward to being back at work again.

“You don’t have to sound so eager about that”

“I am in my own way, but I have always been lazy” Nino laughed turning around and finding himself smacking Satoshi on the arm and running off shouting “Tag, you’re it!”

A/N: Seriously these two keep going off in directions I don’t plan! But I hope that this was okay >.<

Hoping they put Aiba in the guest room so they can cuddle in bed together 💛💙

[krystalkatzfics]

Hehehe I'm not sure if they are ready for that yet but they are getting much closer ne xD

[jkc80]

I like how they don’t talk about their situation and just go with the flow which they are automatically comfortable with

[krystalkatzfics]

Yup xD with Aiba's help Nino has been able to relax and enjoy himself ne xD

[gambitsfox]

They seem to be closer. Let's see what happens when they get into work mode. Will things feel the same or strange? Will obstacles happen? That happens when you take the cute fledgling couple out of their comfort zone and put them in a social area. Looking forward to more chapters! 😊💙💛
