Bretby Hall part fifteen

[krystalkatz.livejournal.com]

Ohno hummed happily as he set out the room for his and Nino’s lesson. It had been two weeks since they had started their lessons and Ohno thought that it was going brilliantly. He talked with Nino more than he had anyone else and he found himself really enjoying his time with the other boy. The prince really was unlike all of the others that he had been with. He was still taking things slow and even though his stomach and lower half were desperately aching for some fun he was making do with his hand, there was no way in hell that he was going to ruin the progress that he had made. He still made sure that he got his five kisses and he was sure that Nino starting to enjoy getting them as much as he enjoyed giving them. Today he was going to ask him to go on a date with him, he had it all planned out he just needed Nino to arrive and then he could put his plan into motion.

He hadn't seen Nino for two days a he had gone to London as part of a boring school function but he had phoned the prince last night to confirm he was still on for his lesson. Nino had sounded tired but he'd said yes. Ohno couldn't believe how giddy he felt. It felt as those he had been away for a long time and he couldn't wait to see Nino again. He had missed Nino the short time that they had been apart and as he had never missed anyone before he couldn't believe how much it bothered him not being able to see Nino. The meetings normally dragged but this one was almost unbearable and with his normal distractions off limits he had felt every minute like the were a physical blow to his stomach

The door opened and he turned with a smile that fell away when he saw Aiba and not Nino standing against the thick wood. The valet looked tired and his normally sunny expression was clouded with deep shadows around his eyes. Aiba attempted a smile but it did little more than stretch his lips over his teeth before falling away and leaving him with an empty expression.

"What the hell is up with you?" Ohno hissed his stomach churning as a million and one things went around and around in his head. Most involved Nino either being dead or kidnapped.

"…Nino’s sick…we thought it was just a small cold but…”

Ohno didn't even hear the rest of what Aiba was saying as he hurried out of the art room with surprising quickness for somebody that would make a dormouse look active. He ran up the many staircases almost knocking people over the banister a few times as he hurried to Nino's room. He was panting when he arrived at the door and without even stopping to knock he pushed it open with a loud bang.
Nino was in bed when he entered dressed in a light grey t-shirt that looked soaked in sweat. His hair was plastered to his face and judging by the bowl on the side he had recently been sick.

"Ohno..." Nino said his voice gruff and wheezy like his throat was on fire.

"I heard you were sick…” Ohno muttered, mentally cursing the words the moment they came out. It was obvious that Nino was sick, he thought with a small shake of the head wondering where the suave and flirty Ohno had gone. If this was the kind of rubbish he was going to come out with he was going to miss his cock sure self.

“I’m on’kay…Aiba just keeps me in bed..!” Nino protested weakly trying to sit up and give him a smile which was close to horrifying. His eyes were swollen and runny as was his nose his face was white and his lips looked a horrible bluish purple that seemed to match the shadows under his eyes. He couldn’t believe how bad he had gotten in the space of a day.

“Well I think that he did a good thing keeping you in bed…You look a little gross…” Ohno frowned not happy about his appearance. “And the only reason I came because I was expecting a cute red nose and sparkly eyes…”

“Yeah…Well, you want cute go find Rudolph…” Nino snapped huffing out his pale cheeks going a faint red as he flopped down into the middle of the bed breathing deeply looking so thoroughly iserable that Ohno felt a pinch of guilt in his heart and quickly he came over to the bed and sat down as close to the prince as could. Nino twisted and wriggled around a little trying to push him away but there was no strength in his arms and he gave up after a few minutes panting in ragged breaths and groaned; “Go away! If I’m so gross!”

“You are gross…But you’re still a cutie bratty prince…” Ohno murmured putting his hand on his forehead surprised at how warm it was. “Have you called for the matron?”

“Nope…”

“You should…I’ll go fet-…” Ohno said half getting to his feet only to be stopped immediately.

“Nah…Feel better now…Stay…” Nino moaned almost incoherently now as he grabbed Ohno’s arm and pulled him into a strange kind of hug for just his arm. Ohno smiled shaking his head as he toed off his shoes. Sure he was taking things slow but he wasn't going to say no to an opportunity to lie next to a very weak and willing Nino when it presented itself to him. He tugged his arm free and then lay down in the bed next to him his arm rubbing up and down his side as Nino nuzzled into his chest his overly hot forehead pressing against his skin trough the gaps in his shirt. For a long time they just lay there in the bed with Ohno gently stroking his side until he was sure that Nino was asleep. He stopped his movement and let out a sigh looking into the sleeping face that was against him. He really was gross looking with all the gunk that was leaking from his face, he even sounded gross, or like Darth Vader, with the deep rattling breathing but there was something else. Ohno had never been around sick people, well the kids in the school had gotten sick all the time but he didn't spend time with them. It was weird seeing somebody so vulnerable, it was like seeing the kitten he had saved and Aiba had stolen. Somebody small and weak who actually needed him. He smiled a little shuffling a little closer and pressing he lips to the feverish forehead.

"No-one’s going to steal you away..." He said softly stroking the back of the boy and almost jumping out of his skin when Nino spoke;
"Apples...n' gravy..."

“Huh? What?” Ohno mumbled in surprise before realising that the prince was obviously talking in his sleep. He chuckled and stroked the younger boy again making a mental note to tease him about it later “You want apples and gravy?”

“Aiba…Steals it, my gravy…” Nino complained in a snuffle filled whine that caused his chest to rattle violently as he started to cough. Ohno rubbed the thin chest in a circles a few times until he had calmed down again and was once more resting against his chest. Ohno kissed his sweat soaked forehead and whispered reassuringly;

“Oh, dear…I won’t let him steal it, little prince, I promise…”

“Un…Good….You have some…” Nino mumbled before falling silent and entering a deep sleep. Ohno stayed awake on the bed staring up at the thick canopy above his head happy that Nino was still clinging to him like a limpet his nose rubbing into him. It was about an hour later that Nino woke and looked up dazed and confused and gasping in pain while gripping his throat.

“Hurts?” Ohno asked getting up and allowing his blood to flow through his arm again as he reached for a glass of the water that was on the side. Nino took it and gulped it down such a look of satisfaction on his face that Ohno imagined their being a soft hiss of steam coming up from his throat. “Feel better?”

“Yes…” Nino managed weakly with a sigh flopping back against the pillow and pressing his hand to his forehead his eyes closing for long enough for Ohno to wonder if he had gone back to sleep before he asked “So, did you have fun?"

"Not really no, it was boring and I missed you every minute!" Ohno pouted putting the glass back onto the side as Nino gave a little embarrassed click of his tongue. The head boy looked around in time to see the prince trying to hide his blush,

"Don't tease me! My head already hurts too much!"

"I'm not teasing, I meant it, I didn't like it, I've never missed anyone before..." He admitted honestly and Nino blinked in surprise his cheeks going a lovely shade of red as he whispered

“I missed you too…”
