krystalkatzficz | D-wing part 10

“Jun will be sitting with us, if that’s okay?” Satoshi asked with a charming smile as he and Masaki made their way to the benches. Masaki wasn’t going to stay, he had a lesson with Sho and he was hoping to pass an exam that weekend he had been studying for. Nino hadn’t said it but he suspected that it was a junior high exam, something most adults would be embarrassed to be taking but Masaki seemed pretty excited and Nino wasn’t going to put him down for it. Masaki never talked about his life on the outside but from snippets he got from him he hadn’t had it easy and there hadn’t been much time for school or education in general. Sho was the first and only person who had encouraged him in that and Nino suspected that was the only reason that Masaki continued to try.

Getting back to the present though Nino was shocked to see a rather nasty bruise decorating the cheek of Satoshi’s normally handsome cellmate. There was finger marks around his neck also but the bruise on his cheek looked nasty and painful.

“Um...Yeah...But...Um what the hell happened to your face? Are you okay?” Nino asked moving towards Satoshi’s cellmate. Jun didn’t like him, he knew that well enough, Masaki had told him that it was through jealousy that Satoshi was interested in him but Nino brushed it off. For the most part, not though Jun glared at him for a moment and Nino flinched back until he saw Satoshi give the man a stare that had him going pale and then swallowing before he grumbled;

“Somebody thought it was okay to touch me...I fought back...It’s nothing...”

“It doesn’t look like nothing...Have you had ice on it?” Nino wondered wincing in sympathy at the size of the bruise that looked almost egg shaped against his eye. He wouldn’t be surprised if it had been worse at some point.

“I forgot I was in a spa, I’ll just ask the waiter to get me some shall I?” Jun muttered sarcastically and Nino gave up trying to be nice, sometimes you had to fight fire with fire and he wasn’t going to pussyfoot around somebody that he didn’t care about.

“You could get some from the kitchen, jackass, they have a freezer and I’m sure bigshot over here could get you it even if it didn’t...You would have thought getting hit would have knocked some sense into you...Come on...” He growled grabbing the other man’s hand and pulling him up. Jun fought him for a moment and then Satoshi rose as well handing over his pencils and sketchbook to Masaki before following after them looking amused. Nino rolled his eyes and dragged Jun back to the prison ignoring the way the other prisoners moved out of their way, some even making sure to dive out of the way. They had almost made it to the kitchen when Sho called out;

“What’s going on here? Matsumoto, what happened to you?”

“Just a fight, guard Sakurai, nothing serious...” Jun answered in spite of the evidence to the contrary on his face and Nino watched as the guard’s face tensed and his eyes narrowed coming towards them.

“Does this have anything to do with what happened to the prisoners in C-Wing?”

“I dunno, what happened to the prisoners in C-Wing?” Satoshi asked innocently his face completely expressionless giving him the appearance of an innocent school boy. A muscle in Sho’s jawline pulsed for a moment and then he snarled;

“Two prisoners were beaten almost to death, in fact it will be lucky if one of them survives the rest of the day...”

“I see” Satoshi shrugged and Nino swallowed looking from Jun to Satoshi and then to Sho. The guard sighed running his fingers through his hair as he grumbled;

“That’s all you’ve got to say for yourself?”

“Yes, well except I won’t lose any sleep over two less scumbags in the world and I doubt that you will either guard Sakurai” Satoshi hummed in response and Sho did have the decency to flush just a little his mouth snapping closed as his fingers tensed. Although he didn’t say as much it was clear how Sho felt about the two men in C-Wing and that he agreed with Satoshi. It was surprising as Sho actually seemed to believe in rehabilitation he really did seem to want people to be better and improve themselves while they were in prison and Nino wondered just how bad the two men in C-Wing were. Jun had tensed against him and Nino could easily guess just how bad things had been for him.

“Coming from the biggest scumbag of them all...” Sho muttered trying his hardest not to look amused. “Ninomiya, what are you doing with Matsumoto and Ohno? Where is Masa...Aiba-san?”

“He was in the yard a minute ago. I thought about getting some ice for Jun’s face from the kitchen...” Nino answered honestly and Sho gave him a smile and a nod.

“You are kind, some ice and a trip to the medical wing would be the best thing...”

“Are the two men from C-Wing there?” Nino asked before he could stop himself feeling Jun tense again. Nino immediately knew why Satoshi hadn’t taken his cellmate there now and the consideration made his heart softer towards the man that was so kind to his cellmate. Sho it appeared realised that too and his face softened as he shook his head saying;

“No, they were taken to hospital. Matsumoto do you want to file a formal complaint?”

“There’s no point. What will they do keep them in prison longer? Also it looks like somebody handled it already” Jun grumbled acting tough even though Nino could feel him shaking slightly against his hand. Without thinking Nino let his thumb move up and down the man’s skin in the same way he used to do for his sister when she had a panic attack. She hadn’t liked anyone touching her during them but he found that a light touch would soothe her letting her know that somebody was there. He hoped that his mum was doing that now, she must be suffering a lot since he had been sent down.

“I see...Well, if they survive they will be moved. It clearly isn’t safe for them here...”

“No, I shouldn’t think it is. Sorry Guard Sakurai but aren’t you meant to be in the library? Masaki has his exam this week doesn’t he? I’m sure he is extremely anxious...” Satoshi hummed smoothly and Nino almost laughed at the expression that came over the guards face. He looked like a love sick puppy who had just been told that his master was coming home after a weekend away. He cleared his throat and then nodded in their direction saying briskly;

“Ice and Medical wing, Matsumoto, as soon as you like...”

“Yes, sir” Jun hummed and Nino tugged at his arm again leading him through the double doors barely noticing that his face had softened and he was no longer trying to pull his arm free.

A/N: SO...In the original story I had for this it took Jun a lot longer to come around and he was a lot nastier to Nino but...Since the announcement two weeks ago I wanted unified arashi and so I’ve been editing it...>.< So sorry if it isn’t good >.<

It's good :D
I like them being close to each other and I think it fits the theme overall XD Jun realising that Nino isn't bad and that Ohno wouldn't abandon him would do a lot to make him see sense
