krystalkatzficzNino smiled happily as he went back into the living room and saw Satoshi sat on the sofa with Jareth resting against his chest drinking happily from the bottle. Both had their eyes closed with their lashes splayed over their cheeks. They looked so peaceful that Nino was almost sure that they were asleep except Satoshi was singing to the baby. It was one of his own songs and he sounded just as amazing as he did on stage and Nino stood still listening to him sing;
“I wonder how much time has passed. Since you held my hand gently. That kind of scene has somehow come to warm a place deep in my heart now. I wonder from when I became unable to say important things honestly. I casually gazed at that back which seemed just a little bit small. Whenever I felt my own weakness, I felt your warmth too…”
“Wow…You’re amazing…” Nino breathed forgetting himself completely his hands clapping together causing the idol’s eyes to open wide with surprise before he flushed and gave a small shrug.
“Thank-you…But I’m not that good…He’s finished his bottle…” Satoshi blinked in surprise his actions leading Nino to believe he hadn’t seen Jareth finish a full bottle since he was here. He had suspected that the idol had been following the directions on the tin to a T but sometimes it didn’t work for all babies. He’d figured that out throughout the night and had made the adjustments to the next bottle.
“Yup, you did well, papa” Nino nodded moving over to the sofa and holding his hands out for the baby who was starting to smell a little funky. “…Your breakfast is done; would you like me to burp him while you get sat down…?”
“Yeah…” Satoshi agreed handing over the warm bundle. The baby moaned for a moment but settled back against Nino easily and the Nanny had to struggle not to flush at the feeling of Satoshi’s fingertips against the bare skin on his arms. He wasn’t a teenager anymore and get the frizzle of electricity that moved through them when they touched was enough to cause his cheeks to flush brightly as he chewed on his tongue looking into the idols eyes. They were a beautiful shade of brown, with almost gold flecks around the centre. He wasn’t sure how long they stayed staring at each other, but he knew he was disappointed when Satoshi looked away. “Um…Thank-you…”
“Y-yeah…I hope you like it…” Nino swallowed turning Jareth around and resting him against the burping blanket he had brought out of his bag. He rubbed the boy’s back softly and once Satoshi had gone to the kitchen for his breakfast he found himself continuing the song the idol had been singing; “I hope that this song resounds, that it reaches you, and the feelings are unchanged and unadorned. If the time comes that someday I'll protect someone else, I hope I'll remember your hand. Despite that you never show people your pain or sorrow. You gave a small laugh that my weakness is similar to your own pain. You gave the me who was setting out on a journey the courage to live over and over again…”
“You have a good voice…” Satoshi said from behind him and Nino jerked flushing brightly at the idol who had come to stand in the doorway. “It’s a little weak but…You have a good range…”
“Um…Sorry…Singing helps soothe the baby…” Nino explained his cheeks a deep red as he tried not to freak out that Satoshi had been listening to him sing one of his songs.
“That’s fine, you sound really good” Satoshi told him, but Nino shook his head rubbing his nose over the top of Jareth’s head. At two months old he still had the baby scent around his hair. “Will you join me for breakfast? Um…If you want…You made it…”
“I will be right there, I will put Jareth in his seat once he gets his windy-pops up…Ah! There we are! That was a very loud one! Good boy!” Nino cooed very gently with a huge smile on his face. He wiped the sick from his mouth with the cloth and then moved over to the soft bouncy chair. The baby babbled a little and then closed his eyes as Nino picked him up and carried him into the kitchen.
“I don’t think I’ve ever used that chair. He wouldn’t settle unless he was in my arms” Satoshi sighed watching him gently bounce Jareth up and down with his toe on the bottom of the seat. “I’ve been really useless”
“I think you’re amazing. You didn’t plan on being a father and yet you took him in, take care of him even though you have no experience, the baby is well fed and comfortable. He’s clean and happy even though he is a little grumbly…But that isn’t your fault…Yes, you’ve made mistakes, but any new parent does” Nino hummed softly eating some of his breakfast hoping to stop his stomach from grumbling. “So, please don’t worry about it a lot. Eat up, okay?”
“Okay, thank-you for the meal…” Satoshi nodded at him slowly and then began to eat. It gave Nino a strange thrill to see Japan’s top idol eating the meal that he had prepared and clearly enjoying it. He didn’t want to act like a complete fan, but he was starting to realise that Satoshi was very much his type. Of course, it was unlikely that the man was gay and even less likely that if he were he would be interested in a nanny. “Why did you become a nanny?”
“Hmm…I guess…Lack of motivation? Masaki and I have been friends since before either of us could remember. He always knew that he wanted to work with children or animals…” Nino answered with a smile remembering the five-year-old Masaki standing up in front of their entire class and announcing it. Of course, a lot of kids said the same, but Nino knew that Masaki was being serious. “In high school he got a baby-sitting job and he decided that he wanted to be a nanny…Then he learned that male nannies, no matter how well trained rarely got employed in most of the companies…Even that didn’t get him down, he simply decided that he would start his own…I lacked any of Masaki’s motivation but was swept away by his. He needed employees and I needed a job. He paid for my education and somehow…I fell in love with working with children. It’s actually amusing, I hate people but like kids…”
“Because they are so uncomplicated?”
“Maybe…What about you how did you become an idol?”
“My mum…She didn’t want me to end up like my sister hanging around with gangs at night. It seemed interesting, so I did it…” Satoshi answered with a shrug and Nino gave a giggle noting that Jareth had fallen to sleep while they were having breakfast.
“Maybe your mum should be a talent spotter. You’re good at it…”
“My mum passed away a year before I debuted…”
“Ah…Um…Sorry…” Nino’s mirth faded quickly seeing the pain in the brown eyes, but Satoshi gave him a smile shaking his head and reassuring him with a soft;
“It’s okay, she had been sick for a long time before that…Um would you like me to do the dishes and then I will show you to your room…”
