Sho couldn’t believe what he was hearing, even after everything that he had said and written, he had been preparing for a negative answer so he had prepared his heart for that so to hear the whispered words stunned him for a long time. He stared at Masaki his mouth dry and his eyes feeling scratchy and almost painful as tears tried to come to them. Masaki started to shuffle around in the grass and Sho gasped loudly forcing himself to recover.

“You…Mean it?” He asked hopefully his hand hovering over Masaki’s. He’d been holding it for a while but now he felt scared that if he touched him he would disintegrate and he would lose him.

“Ye-Yes…” Masaki nodded with a gulp that caused his Adam’s apple to bob up and down frantically. Sho watched the movement for a while and then he finally took the hand holding it tightly. It was warm and very sweaty against his now showing the nerves the younger man was feeling. Masaki had always been the same, even when they were young, whenever he was nervous or under stress he would start to sweat buckets. It was gross while at the same time caused him to feel so much love for him. “So…Um…”

“Um…I suppose that now I should ask you to come on a date with me…” Sho said softly, he wanted to just throw his arms around him and hold him tightly while kissing him senseless but he was determined that he take it slowly which was what Masaki needed and wanted “When you’re free…”

“…I…don’t have much time…” Masaki mumbled with a shrug his cheeks flushing and once again Ohno waded in like some kind of guardian angel. He came down from the boat waving a bag around and smiling at them both as he said softly;

“Kazu and I will watch the children for you tomorrow…”

“I work tomorrow…” The youngest man there said softly pulling his hand free from Sho’s and grabbing a handful of the daisies and quickly beginning to make a chain. Sho smiled at the action while trying to think of something to say when once again Nino’s husband helped him out.
“Not until six…So no more excuses, ne?” Ohno said brightly with a grin giving a salute and a wink in Sho’s direction before walking back through the grass towards the house. Sho stared after him his mouth hanging open unable to believe what had happened.

“Is he…Um…Always like that?” He asked in a mildly stunned voice and Masaki gave a small laugh his fingers not stopping on the daisy chain as he made holes with his nail and then threaded the flowers through the holes.

“Pretty much…He doesn’t speak much but when he does…” Masaki gave a weak smile and a shrug before frowning as he made a hole too close to the head of one of the daisy’s and caused it to break off. Sho chuckled softly shaking his head as he looked up the path that Ohno had made with his body through the grass. He should have known that it would take somebody special to tame Nino and although he didn’t look like much it seemed that Ohno was the person for the job. Sho shook himself out of his thoughts looking at Masaki again as he said;

“So…Tomorrow?”

“…Um…Okay…But…The afternoon…About 2…” Masaki nodded with a small smile holding up the chain and studying for a few minutes before he explained softly “I like spending Sunday mornings with the children…We go hiking…Um…Would you and Katrina…Like to join…”

“Yes…If you don’t think that would be too much for you…Being around me for that long…” Sho mumbled his heart giddy that he would be able to spend so long with Masaki and his children. Masaki looked a troubled for a moment and then shook his head giving him the most confident smile that he had seen that day as he handed him the daisy chain that was shaped like a necklace saying;

“No...The morning will be the children’s time together, they want to know you they always have, and the afternoon will be ours…”

“Okay, that sounds good…And thank-you for thinking about Katrina…I think that she spends a lot of time alone…” Sho sighed as he put the necklace around his neck much to Masaki’s surprise. The younger man’s lips gave a twitch and his eyes sparkled a little as he watched it rest against his chest and Sho, in spite of the depression that had formed when he remembered that he still had his sister and her no good
husband to deal with when he got back and he was prepared to do it, chuckled fingering the necklace. Masaki might not like being compared to the past but this was something that they had done in the past. Sho could remember it as clearly as if it had happened only yesterday. He had lain with his head in Masaki’s lap a book open in the grass as the younger boy made a necklace, bracelet and even a crown for him. Sho had worn them with pride, even when he had gotten strange look from people, and had tried to press them to make them stay frozen in time but he’d never managed to do it and they had withered and died within weeks.


“It suits you Sho-chan...She is a good kid, your niece I mean, she always reminded me of Sho-chan…A little lonely but sweet…” Masaki told him with a grin before biting on his lip nervously again as his eyes went towards the house “Um…Sho-chan, this thing between us, I don’t think that we’ll be able to hide it from the children, they are too smart for their own good…But…I’m worried that they’ll get their hopes up and if something went wrong then…I…”

“Masaki no matter what happens well make sure that the kids are protected…I promise…But I swear to you that we’re meant to be together…” Sho told him understanding what he was driving at even through the broken jerky sentences. Masaki visibly relaxed into the grass and then looked up at the sky with a frown creasing his forehead.

“It looks like it was going to rain…” He mumbled and Sho pulled his eyes away from where they had settled on his lips and followed his gaze his eyes coming to rest on a thick gathering of clouds out in the distance. They were over the hills at the moment but he knew from experience that it wouldn’t take long for the heavens to open up and drench them.

“We should head back to the house…” He said getting to his feet and holding his hand out to Masaki. Masaki looked at it for a moment and then reached out and took it gripping him around the thumb and allowing him to pull him to his feet. The action caused them to press together for a little while, Masaki was taller than he was but he slouched and it caused them to stare each other in the face their lips and noses almost touching. “Masaki…” Sho breathed his tongue darting out of his mouth to scrape over his own, suddenly dry, lips as his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down with a gulp. The heat of Masaki’s body was intense as was the need to wrap his arms around him and hold him close. Sho’s free arm twitched and he was positive that for a moment Masaki’s did as well. He moved his face a little and brushed lips, just slightly, against Masaki’s.

“They’re kissing!” Voices shouted excitedly and the two men pulled apart quickly their faces burning brightly as they spun around to find their children and Katrina standing in the grass their faces just as red their eyes sparkling happily as their hands were holding each other. Masaki tugged his hand away and Sho cleared his throat rubbing the back of his burning neck as the first drops of rain started landing all around them. There was only one or two to begin with but the light shower soon became a down pour. Only Sho and Katrina shouted out trying to cover themselves, Masaki as the twins let out happy shouts and began to jump up and down splashing in the mud their arms thrown open as they laughed looking like water sprites as the rain cascaded down around them soaking their hair and their clothes. Katrina looked at them all like they were insane but Sho laughed loudly letting his arms go up feeling the sharp drops of rain landing on him remembering that this kind of freedom was one of the things he loved most about Masaki. His Masaki, he was really his again.
