Nino was in a daze, he barely noticed as he was treated or as the police asked questions. He tried to focus to hear what he was being told or asked but his brain didn’t want to listen him. He was aware whenever Jun was next to him his comfortable presence acting like a warm blanket being wrapped around his shoulders and he was dimly aware when he was placed in the front seat of a car and then again when he was helped out of the car and led into an apartment. He was placed in to a soft bed, Jun sat down beside him his fingers moving through his hair. Nino let his eyes fall closed and to his amazement he fell into a blissful sleep.

When he woke up he was aching and confused and his head ached a little an arm was wrapped around his waist and a nose and mouth was pressed into his neck. He turned slowly and found himself pressed against Jun. His mind spun and he wondered and hoped that the last 24 hours had been a horrible dream. The pain in his body only let him believe that for a few minutes and slowly, his body trembling violently, he pulled himself free from Jun’s grip and sat up looking around.

The room was completely different from the one that they had shared in the house. That had been all warm wood with bright colours and clutter. This was chrome and glass, with sleek, smooth lines. Nino thought that it suited Jun better but it also lacked any personal touches like he didn’t spend much time in the room. Over of the dresser was a collection of strange looking bottles that looked like they had been made just to confuse people and Nino guessed that some of them would cost more than he would ever earn in a life time. On the far wall full length mirrors disguised a cupboard and a smoke grey three piece suit was neatly hung with a black tie hanging over the shoulder. Black shoes positioned underneath, polished to an inch other their lives. Nino’s attention moved around and he saw that on the bedside table was a collection of bottles that had his name printed on them. He wasn’t sure when he had received them but he guessed it was at some point last night.

“K-Kazu?” Jun whispered groggily pushing himself up into a seated position moving his hair out of his eyes. “How are you feeling?”

“I… Don’t know…” Nino answered honestly everything that had happened last night coming back to him in a rush. Waves of fear rippled over him and his breathing quickened as his eyes blew wide “J-un…My mum…Where…”

“She’s okay, she’s in the room down the hall” Jun told him gently his fingers moving gently up and down the skin of his arm. “They had to sedate her but they think that she’ll be okay…”

“Will…Will she be…Arrested?” Nino needed to know the fear buzzing in his brain. He knew that it should be considered self-defence or duress or something. His mum hadn’t been in her right mind, years of mental abuse and then watching him beat her son. But the police, would they see it like that?

“No…Don’t worry” Jun murmured his arms wrapping around his waist his lips brushing against his hair line and Nino heart returned to its rightful position in his chest. “I’ve had my lawyers arrange everything, she’ll be completely fine…I can’t promise that there won’t be some awkward questions that you’ll both have to answer but if you do it honestly I promise you that you both be fine…”

“Thank-you…I’m sorry, I…I…Didn’t know who else to call…” Nino murmured allowing himself to enjoy the contact that Jun was giving him. It was still so unreal to him, how could his whole life have changed so much in one night? Nothing would ever be the same again and he didn’t know what was going to happen or what he was going to do.

“It’s okay…I…I honestly don’t know what to say…But I promise that I’m going to be with you through this…” Jun told him rocking him from side to side like a baby and it took a few moments for Nino to realise that he was sobbing like a baby. Tears rolling down his face. He buried his face into Jun’s chest and allowed the tears to fall openly all of the ache in his heart pouring out in that one moment. Jun just let him cry every now and then offering out comforting words or kisses onto the top of his head. Nino didn’t know how long he cried but he did know that by the end his eyes were sore as was his throat and he felt tired again. He pushed the sleepy haze away from his mind and then pulled out of the grip whispering weakly;

“I…I…Should go and see mum…”

“Do you want me to come?” Jun asked and Nino thought about it for a moment, remembering the way his mum had been behaving last night. Like a broken doll her eyes all glazed and empty. It had been more terrifying than seeing the dead body of his father. The image of the fat man came up in front of his eyes and quickly he pushed it away breathing deeply through his nose as his hands clenched tightly at his side. If his mum was still acting like that then he wasn’t sure if he would be able to cope but wanted to see her alone.

“…I…No…I’ll be fine…” He answered slowly and Jun kissed his cheek giving him just the hint of a smile

“Okay, I’ll go make you a coffee…And some breakfast…” Nino was about to protest but Jun held up his hand and shook his head “I know you probably don’t feel like eating but you need to take some painkillers and to do that you need something on your stomach…Even if it’s just a slice of toast…”

“Okay…Okay…”Nino mumbled in defeat actually feeling happy that he cared so much. He climbed out of bed, surprised to find himself in a pair of slightly too big shorts and a t-shirt that slipped down on his shoulder. He gave a small smile tugging it back up and then padded out of the room his feet only slightly cold on the wooden floor. He walked into the living room his mouth dropping open when he saw how big the place was. Just the living room was bigger than his whole apartment, with more smoky glass and chrome with cream leather furnishings. The window were huge, six foot high and four foot wide looking out over the whole town and almost giving him a sense of vertigo and he knew that there was no way that he would be stepping onto the balcony that was attached.

In the corner was a desk, it was strangely out of place in the super modern apartment, made of thick cherry coloured wood and decorated with historical scenes picked out in gold and black lacquered wood with just the hint of duck egg blue. It might have been out of place but it was beautiful and he wanted to run his fingers over it. Perched on top of it was the cat tea service that Jun had brought yesterday and Nino felt his heart clench. That trip to the market felt a life time ago and he used the sight to stir himself up and he turned heading down to the other door that he guessed must lead to the guest bedroom. He knocked lightly on the door and then pushed it open without waiting for an answer.

This room was the complete contrast to Jun’s room, it was painted in a soft yellow with light wood that had black hanging. Every surface was covered with knickknacks and beside the bed was a pair of stairs that looked like they had been made for a dog and Nino knew that this was where Mrs Matsumoto slept when she stayed over. His mother was sitting up in the large double bed, her face was pale and her eyes were fixed on the far wall. Her legs had been brought up to her chest and she was hugging them tightly her chin resting on her knees. She looked like a child but when her eyes turned to him he was glad to see that they weren’t empty or glazed over.

“Kazunari…Oh…Kazunari…I’m so sorry…” She breathed her arms opening to him and for the first time he could remember he ran to her and received his first ever hug. “I’m sorry…”

“Don’t be…He deserved it…” Nino mumbled not sure if that was what she wanted to hear but it was what he wanted to say. He did deserve it and his mum had been braver than he could have imagined.

“No…Not that…I’m sorry...I should have…Got you away before…” She said back her arms tightening around him her tears landing in small splashes. “When he said those things…How dare he about my baby…I scared, Kazu…I’m terrified…”

“…Jun will look after us…” Nino whispered with more confidence than he actually felt. Jun had no obligation to help him but Nino had realised that he was probably already in love with the older man.

I love Jun taking care of Nino. I love the way he handled things. And I like how he asked if he should go in with Nino to see Nino's mom. And the scene with Nino and his mom was heartbreaking and tender. Great job.:D
