The music rang softly around the room, purple and yellow flower petals fell from the ceiling showering those that danced underneath. It was a day that the smaller of the two dancers had been dreading, a day that had surprisingly on off without a hitch. Matsumoto Jun and Ninomiya Kazunari had been together since pre-school and today was their wedding day, Jun had planned it all, right down to the last petal, and it was as perfect as he had always told him that it would be.
“You made me go through all this...You have to love me forever...” Ninomiya...Matsumoto Kazunari said correcting himself mentally as he rested his head against his lover’s chest listening to the sound of his heartbeat. Strong arms wrapped around him holding him close swaying him from side to side with the music, it couldn’t be called dancing but they had given up on doing that a long time ago. They were still in sync though and Nino was rather proud of that fact.
“Of course I will! Nothing will stop me from loving you, Kazu...Nothing...” Jun promised his hand coming up his chin and tilting his face up to capture his lips and draw him into a long teasing kiss that became more of a battle for dominance for a few minutes before Nino submitted to his lover and allowed himself to be moved whichever way that Jun wanted. His hands gripped his shoulders tightly before his fingers came up and buried themselves in his hair. They continued to kiss passionately for a long time until they pulled apart “Are you ready to leave?”
“Yes I can’t wait to start our honeymoon, Mr Matsumoto...” Nino said with a purr looking at the bruised lips a smile on his face a buzz of excitement collecting in his stomach. He didn’t know what Jun had planned for them but he knew that whatever it was he was going to enjoy it.
“Me neither M-Sorry Dr Matsumoto...I love you...” Jun said his hands dropping down to his bum and lifting him up. Nino giggled as he was spun around four times before he was brought down to be kissed again. It was slower this time and they broke apart quickly this time.
“...I love you...” Nino laughed breathlessly his eyes shining as he looked into the eyes of his husband his heart almost exploding with love for the man before him “I love you so much...I would do anything for you...”
“Me too...” Jun grinned back and then he put him back down onto the floor “Come on let’s go and get ready for our honeymoon...”
*~*~*~* Two years later *~*~*~*
Nino woke with a jerk pulling his face away the papers he had been sleeping on. They were wet and the words were smudged into light blobs and he gave a sigh wiping his eyes with his fingers knowing that he had been crying again. The dream was clinging to him and he pinched the corners of his eyes letting out a heavy sigh. He moved back in his chair and stretched his back and gave a loud yawn that left him feeling a little dizzy but he knew that that would be caused by the fact he hadn’t eaten properly for some time. He yawned again, his jaw popping painfully, before he stood up and walked over to the window looking out at the grounds. Milk strands of sunlight had started to creep over the grounds lighting up the rows of purple and yellow flowers reminding him of the petals on his wedding day. Tears came back to his eyes but he squished them again clearing his throat with a cough that caused his chest to ache.
He brushed his fingers through his greasy hair and then tried to straighten out his clothes that were hanging limply on his body. They were too big for the body he had now. He had lost a lot of weight in the last few years through worry, over work, and under eating but he didn’t care his work was the most important thing in his life right now. He was just about to go through his notes again when he heard the sound of the front door bell. With a groan he pulled himself out of his lab and walked the short distance to front door his eyes barely noticing the thick layer of dust that had piled up on the sides and doors. The whole house, from the floor to the windows was coated in the dirt and the grime. He knew in his heart that Jun would hate it if he saw it but he had no time, his life was consumed by his research. Pulling the door open he wasn’t surprised to see the concerned face of his childhood friend staring at him. Aiba had becoming to see him almost religiously every day for the past year and a part of him wanted to forbid him from coming but no matter how angry he got he really was happy to have some kind of human companionship, somebody that he could actually talk too.
“Good morning!” Aiba said cheerfully pushing a cup of hot coffee and muffins into his hands, Nino’s stomach gave a loud painful grumble and blushed hugging the items to his chest. “I guess I came at the right time then!”
“Why are you here again?” Nino muttered more for the spirit of the thing than anything else as he stepped away from the door and let him in.
“Because I promised Jun that I would look after you!” Aiba answered and Nino mouthed the words along with him taking him to the kitchen. It was the same thing that he had said every day. He believed him. In the early days of his illness Jun had asked Aiba to visit him a few times and Nino knew they had spoken about him. Nino sat at the table drinking the foamy coffee that was made just the way he liked it. The room was in silence for long painful minutes and then Aiba started speaking saying the same things that he always said “Nino...I understand that you are you’re working hard on the cure but...You have to take care of yourself too...Jun would hate it if you were sick...And what good would it be if you just end up in a bed next to him...”
“...I’m...Fine...I’m so close to a cure that I can taste it!” Nino hissed taking out one of the muffins from the box and tearing it up and biting it with a furiousness that was very violent. He knew that if he could see himself in the mirror that there would be a mania in his eyes. Aiba sighed pushing his hair out of his eyes. Nino ate the muffin with three bites and then licked his fingers his eyes going to the clock on the wall as he asked “Don’t you have a job to get to?”
“If you want you can come to dinner...” He sighed getting to his feet and Nino nodded taking out another of the muffins. It stopped on the way to his mouth and he stared at his friend warningly,
“Aiba....”
“Fine...It was just a suggestion...” Aiba muttered sighing again “Please just take care of yourself...”
“I will but I will find the cure...” Nino promised before eating the second muffin just as quickly as the first as he walked his friend to the door. Aiba hugged him tightly kissing his cheek before living and Nino accepted the warmth of the other man for a few moments and then he pulled away. He watched Aiba leave before closing the door with a soft click. He sighed and straightened himself out heading up the stairs. He pulled on a sterile plastic overalls and then pushed open a door.
“Hey, Jun...” Nino breathed softly walking into the white sterile room his voice cracked and dry as he tried to fight the tears that were forming in his eyes. “How are you today Mr Matsumoto?”
He spoke as if he was expecting an answer though he knew that he wasn’t going to get one. Jun hadn’t spoken for almost two years. Not since he had caught what the doctors that had been a simple viral infection that he would fight off. They had been wrong, the infection had ripped through Jun’s body leaving him a shell an almost empty body in a bed. He was kept alive only by machines and medication that Nino had to pump into his veins each and every day. He had good days, there were some days that it looked like he was coming out of it. Nino thought that those were the worst days, those were the days that gave him hope only to send it plummeting again when he didn’t get to see his husband smiling at him the way he used to. Nino smiled straightening out the blanket that was over him before moving his had up to stroke his face. The smile dropped away and fresh tears stung his eyes as he whispered brokenly,
“I’m getting closer I promise baby, I’m getting closer so hang on...Hang on...”
After making sure that his husband’s vitals were functioning correctly he pressed his lips to his forehead and then left the room heading back to his lab. He could understand what Aiba was saying but he had to do this. He had to find a way to save his husband, his beautiful amazing Jun, otherwise what was the point of him being a researcher? What was the point of all of his knowledge if he couldn’t save Jun?
