Jun grit his teeth together to stop them from gnashing together as his eyes narrowed looking at his father with mixed emotions. He knew why that man was here, he had heard about it from Sakurai. Takashi was going to be staring as his father in the special, apparently somebody other than Nino’s sister had noticed that they appeared alike, and as much as he wanted to refuse to work with him he couldn’t Takashi Kei was still an overly popular idol, even though he was now into his forties, he had slipped from the idol model and had found himself a niche as an actor with credits in several Hollywood films. At 41 people would have forgiven him to have started showing signs of age but there seemed to be very little signs of that in his face or personality which was still as bright and cheerful as ever.

“Kazu…You should maybe put some clothes on…” Jun whispered in Nino’s ear jolting his lover into life and Nino fled to the bedroom his face burning brightly. Takashi pouted a little and then sat down his legs crossing as he stared at him.

“I wanted to meet him…” He said and Jun tensed his arms folding across his chest as his eyes narrowed into dangerous slits.

“Why?”

“He’s your boyfriend…” Takashi said with a shrug “Obviously an important part of your life, since he was here walking around in his boxers…”

“Whatever happens here in my apartment is no business of yours…” He snapped, he didn’t care that the man had discovered that he was gay. It was important to him the way that it had clearly been for Nino with his sister. His father had never been one to him and as far as he was concerned he had no hold over his life now.

“Jun I promise that I’m not here to judge you…I didn’t even know…I just came in to find a cute little kid in an oversized t-shirt and boxers…How old is he?”

“17…” Jun answered with a frown, guessing that it would look a little weird Nino did have the whole baby faced thing going on. He found it cute but he was glad that he knew his age. Wanting to get the conversation away from Nino, who must have been hiding in the bedroom now, he strode to the seat and sat down glaring art him over arched fingers “Why do you have a key anyway?”

“I still have the one from when I lived here…” Takashi said looking around with a whistle when Jun gnashed his teeth hating any reminder that he had only been able to have this apartment because he had been given it “You’ve changed almost everything but the locks…”

“…I thought you’d given me all the keys?” Jun grumbled aware that Nino was floating around in the background looking as nervous as a freshly scolded puppy. He beckoned him over and after shaking his head a few time he slowly padded over to him and perched himself on the edge of his chair arm.

“…So did I but I found a spare…” Takashi shrugged taking the key out of his pocket and tossing it over at him before turning his attention and full on idol smile to Nino who shrunk back into his chest “Hello again…Um…”

“Ninomiya Kazunari…” Nino whispered his voice squeaky as his cheeks went through a multitude of colours before settling on salmon pink while his ears were a deep bright red.

“Takashi Kei…I’m Jun’s father…”

“Sperm donor…” Jun bit back gnashing his teeth and clenching his fists Nino swallowed dipping into a small bow that almost had him falling forward off the chair until Jun wrapped his arms around his waist holding him securely.

*~*~*~*

Nino watched as the flicker of pain flashed through the idols face at the use of Sperm donor and he had to admit that he was surprised. Listening to Jun’s story on the beach he had gotten the impression that Takashi hadn’t wanted anything to do with his son but now it seemed that he had tried but Jun hadn’t been receptive to the attention. The man himself was weird to see in the flesh. He had always assumed that his youthful appearance was down to make-up, good lighting and even photo shop but right now he could see that that wasn’t true. In fact he looked better in person than he did on screen. As Kari had said his nose was a lot like Jun’s but his eyes were a lighter shade of brown and his mouth was fuller without the twist. His hair was similar to his son’s but not as long only reaching to his jawline and there was the stubble that he had never noticed before.

“Nice to meet you Takashi-san…” Nino whispered and the man smiled brightly again the pain leaving his eyes as the warm glow returned.

“And you…” He said letting out a whistle his hand darting out to ruffle his hair with a large hand “You’re a real cutie ne?”

“Um…” Nino flushed pressing further back into Jun’s chest as his boyfriend stiffened against him and then the stupidest question ever;

“Are you trying to flirt with my boyfriend now?”

“No…Just being polite and honest…If that’s what floats his boat then fine but I don’t swing that way…” Takashi said and Nino decided to take matters into his own hands sliding down into Jun’s lap his arms wrapping around his neck. Jun, almost absentmindedly, kissed his forehead and they were both surprised when there was a clicking sound and when they looked up Takashi was waving around his phone “So cute…”

“So what are you here for?” Jun asked flushing a little and Nino had to admit to being surprised by that. Takashi sighed slipping his phone back into his pocket his expression becoming serious as he rested back in his the chair his fingers running over the stubble on his chin.

“They want me to play your father…Ironic ne…?” He said and Nino stiffened waiting for his reaction but to his surprise Jun stayed calm just letting out a long sigh.

“I guess…So you came here to tell me your career plans? That’s nice but unneeded I have a manager…” He growled a little sharply and Nino pushed his hand under the shirt stroking the faint fuzz on his stomach. “It’s weird that you’re coming back to dramas though…Your international star fading?”

“Hmm…” Takashi hummed the insult rolling off of him with only the lightest flash of pain in his eyes “I came because I didn’t want to cause you problems…I haven’t accepted yet and I won’t if you’ll find it too strange or hard…”

“I can act like a professional…” Jun said and Takashi nodded with a fond smile now as he rubbed his chin again as he said;

“Yes I know, you’re really good…”

“Thanks…” Jun mumbled grudgingly and Nino rested into him his head ducking under his chin and he drew figure of eight patterns onto his stomach. “I…Don’t mind…It’s not up to me or you…”

“No…But I do have a bit of leeway and I won’t do it if you’re uncomfortable…” Takashi told him and Nino decided that he liked the older man. He was clumsy very clumsy but he did care about his son Jun just couldn’t accept that at the moment. “But if you’re okay with it then I’ll be very happy to work with you…”

“I’m fine with it…” Jun nodded and Nino drew a happy pattern around his belly button again his lips pressing into his neck as a kind of reward smiling at Takashi who smiled back getting to his feet saying;

“Well I won’t out stay my welcome…It was lovely to meet you Ninomiya-kun…”

“And you…” Nino said stumbling to his feet and dipping into a bow wishing that he could ask for his autograph for his grandma but knowing that that would be weird right now.

“Seriously cute…” Takashi said ruffling his hair again before walking to the door not even saying goodbye to them. Nino watched him leave not knowing what to do or say that could make it okay. The door closed with a click and Nino turned to Jun licking his dry lips wishing he had the nerves to suggest that Jun keep his word and give him his punishment.

“Hey, Kazu?” Jun called after a crackling silence had stretched around the room and Nino darted back to the chair looking at him eagerly “will you run through my lines with me?”

“Uh…” The student mumbled blinking with surprise honestly not expecting that. The look on his face though made him realise that if it would cheer him up he would do it “Just so you know I’ve never even been in a school play…”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“You’ll do fine… I just need you to play the part of the lead girl…” Jun laughed his mood breaking as he watched the way that Nino glared at him for saying that. He had been touched when Nino had sat on him ignoring his own embarrassment to try and comfort him. The student sat in the spot that his father had just vacated and he dug out the script from his bag and Jun turned it to the page he wanted to go through. It was a love scene, one that he was actually pretty comfortable in but he wanted to see if his lover would get as jealous as he hoped he would. Nino hummed and then cleared his throat gripping the script tightly in his hands his flush staining his cheeks.

“’But why can’t we just be together?” Nino said in a soft broken voice sounding even more convincing than the lead, Jun thought, as he moved closer and took one of the small cute hands in his brushing his lips against the fingers as he replied;

“You know the reason, your parents wouldn’t agree…”

“But I love you…” His lover whispered and Jun found his heart thumping in a way that it never did when he was with his own screen partner.

“I love you too…but you know that this can’t work” Jun murmured moving off of the sofa and kneeling down in front of him bringing his face in close. So close that he could smell the soft minty toothpaste blowing over his nose and face. He shivered almost violently as his heart rate increased. In the script it said that there was a kiss and he wasn’t going to disappoint.

It wasn’t their first kiss by a long shot but as Jun pressed his lips over those of his lover, it felt like it was. The kiss wasn’t like all their others, it was delicate and gently probing and he moaned when Nino parted his lips to slide his tongue inside. He tilted the face up his tongue probing the warm hole as he carefully sucked his breath away. Nino moaned into the kiss and wrapped his arms around him and Jun allowed it crushing the body into his chest wanting to feel more of him. The thin and small body moulded to him as Nino lifted himself from the sofa and Jun chuckled as they broke apart, his eyes as he looked into the flushed face. Nino licked his lips slowly before gulping and whispering;

“Um, Jun”

“Yes, baby?” Jun replied his fingers moving over his cheek a little pushing the lock of hair behind his ear.

“When you’re filming the real thing…” Nino mumbled and Jun was delighted knowing that he had gotten what he wanted “You won’t kiss the actress like that will you?”

“Well I do like to make kissing scenes as real as possible…” Jun was forced to stop when Nino landed on his lap and almost attacked his mouth. His arms went around Nino and he held him close until Nino broke the kiss and sat back on his knees. “Jealous, baby?” The model grinned, Nino glared at him Jun pecked his lips twice trying to reassure him now not wanting to push him too far “But you didn’t let me finish… I like make kissing scenes real, but I wouldn’t be able to kiss anyone the way I kiss you… I love you so much”

“I love you more…”

“Hmm…Come with me and we’ll see…”
