krystalkatzficz“You’ve cleaned the living room?” Sakurai asked and Aiba nodded slowly playing about with the blanket that was covering Yusuke. His night time excursions must have caught up with him and he was out like light snoring softly in his chair. Sakurai was sitting beside Aiba remembering his promise to the boy to confess to Aiba. It wasn’t far away in his mind but he couldn’t find the right time to say it.
“Yeah...I put all your papers into piles on the coffee table and left notes of where I found them...” Aiba said promptly looking nervous, doing the chewing on the inside of his cheek thing that Sakurai was finding that he liked a lot “I hope that’s okay...”
“Yeah...I was working on something when...Thanks for cleaning it up...I’m sure that somebody else took the case...” He mumbled remembering that he had cut himself off from the business after his accident he never had much contact with the people that worked for him. His only action had been to promote a manager who had dutifully sent in reports that went unread only serving as a reminder that he was useless even in the company that he had started. Just as the thick cloud of depression settled on top of him Aiba gave a sigh plonking himself down onto his lap. “What...Are you doing?”
“It’s okay right...” Aiba asked softly his head flopping against shoulder. Sakurai tensed but then saw the tired expression that had filled the boy’s face and he allowed himself to relax again his hands moving around his waist holding him feeling like they were already lovers.
“I...Guess...” Sakurai mumbled and Aiba letting out a happy sigh, his eyes closing for a minute and Sakurai allowed himself to enjoy the feeling of him being pressed close to him.
“You’re house is really nice Sho-chan...But why aren’t they any pictures?” Aiba asked and Sakurai blinked in surprise he had never even thought about pictures. The apartment was pretty much the same as when he had moved in, as was the furniture except the spare room and the gym he had moved that in himself.
“Pictures...” He mused knowing that Aiba was waiting for some kind of response. The younger man didn’t seem happy at all with his answer though and twisted his face up causing Sakurai to realise just how close they were.
“Yeah you know on the walls there isn’t even a landscape...It makes it feel like you’re living in a hotel or a spa...”
“I dunno...I was never in the house for long enough...I guess that I thought of it as just a place to sleep...” Sakurai muttered, he had moved in about 6 months before his accident and had only moved there at all because that was ‘The’ area to live when you were successful. Hiroshi had moved in with him 2 months before and had thankfully never made his mark on the place.
“...That’s sad Sho-chan a beautiful place like that you should have tried to make it a home...” Aiba murmured and there was such a sad ring to the way that he said home that Sakurai held him a little tighter and rested his chin on his shoulder.
“Then maybe...Maybe you and Yusuke would help me make into a home...” He said before he had even registered it and Aiba sucked in a breath loudly his eyes blowing wide.
“What...?”
“One day...Um I think that I might...Like being a family with you and Yusuke...” Sakurai said rushing so that he was able to say it all without Aiba speaking over him “I’m set in my ways...I’m a stubborn idiot most of the time and I do think you’re crazy for wanting me in the first place but...I wouldn’t mind trying...”
*~*~*~*~*
Aiba stared at the older man completely unable to believe what he was saying, the letter from Hiroshi seemed to burn in his pocket and he knew that he should give it to him but right now he was more focused on what Sakurai had just confessed. His silence must have unnerved Sakurai because Aiba felt him started to stiffen and shift around trying to dislodge him from his lap.
“You mean that?” He asked surprised out how breathless and almost girly his voice sounded and he gave a cough clearing his throat before trying again “Do you really mean that?”
“...Aiba-chan I know we don’t know each other very well but you should know that I don’t say things that I don’t mean...” Sakurai answered his cheeks flushed hotly and Aiba grinned widely his heart skipping and dancing against his ribs. Sakurai’s expression softened just the smallest bit and he cupped Aiba’s face with his hands smiling as he muttered “I really would like to be able to try...”
“...Sho-chan...” Aiba squeaked happily throwing his arms around the other man’s neck as much as they could at the angle they were in and he held him tightly “Thank-you...I promise you won’t regret giving me a chance...”
Sakurai’s arms closed around his back holding him tightly before they heard a cough and a laugh and they pulled apart flushing when they saw Nino and Ohno coming towards them knowing grins on their faces. Aiba hurried to his feet suspecting that Sakurai would be too embarrassed to have him on his lap. To his surprise Sakurai did reach up and take his hand linking their fingers tightly.
“So I see that Sho-san managed to pull his head out of his own arse?” Nino asked when they reached them and Ohno slapped him hard on the top of his head causing him to wince “Hey old man what was that for?”
“You were being rude again, brat” Ohno said his arms folding across his chest and Nino stared at him for a minute rubbing the top of his head before sighing and shaking his head his eyes rolling for a second.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to be rude...” He said with a head jerk in Aiba’s and Sakurai’s direction. “There I apologised old man you can’t stay mad at me now...”
“You really are a brat sometimes...” Ohno sighed but Aiba watched as his expression cleared and he reached up to stroke the top on his head. Nino seemed to preen under the attention a huge grin forming on his face and Aiba thought that he looked like a kitten being praised and he let out a giggle. Yusuke gave a moan opening his he eyes and blinking a few times
“Are you okay Yu?” Aiba asked and Yusuke nodded sleepily looking around in surprise
“Nino-san and Ohno-san are so loud...” he muttered through a yawn, completely waking up with a stretch disturbing the blanket that was around him.
“Sorry Yu-kun” Nino said almost fondly ruffling his hair and Yusuke batted his hand away with a small shy smile and Aiba was pleased that his brother had started to accept so many new people around them. Yusuke had always been the nervous quiet type and people coming around had always sent him into hiding but now he seemed to have gotten used to these three. Aiba’s heart sank like a stone his grip getting tighter on Sakurai’s hand as he wondered if Yusuke would approve and what would happen if he didn’t.
“So Sakurai-san ‘fessed up then?” Yusuke asked jolting Aiba out of his spiral of depressing thoughts and he looked up noticing that his brother was staring at their joined hands. His cheeks flushed hotly and he gave a nod a small smile forming on his lips.
“Um...Yeah...” He nodded in a nervous whisper worried about his reaction and to his surprise Yusuke beamed at him, his happiness clearing his face as he nodded at Sakurai who squeezed Aiba’s hand his thumb moving lightly over the skin and sending happy shivers over body.
“Good...” Yusuke said brightly and all of the oxygen left Aiba’s body at once and he struggled to be able to say,
“You don’t mind then Yu?”
Almost immediately Yusuke shook his head while giving a shrug while answering with,
“Nope, as long as you’re happy...You might be able to make Sakurai-san a less miserable person....”
“Hey, don’t be cheeky!” Aiba said but Sakurai let out a warm laugh that echoed around the garden and Aiba realised that it was the first time that he had heard it, it was a pleasant sound and he couldn’t stop himself from bending down and kissing his forehead the letter going forgotten in his pocket.

A/N: I hope this is okay ^_^

Date: 2013-09-13 07:59 am (UTC)By the way, I'd like to tell you that somehow I feel so attached with this fic.. I can understand Sho's feeling a little bit, I also feel hopeless due to not being able to use my right foot to walk properly at the moment.. I can't imagine being him, not being able to walk at all or even feel his own feet...
Ganbatte Sho chan :').
