krystalkatzficzNino groaned opening his eyes glad that the room no longer span around him but, to his irritation, everything still felt like it was stuffed with cotton wool and his head was aching just behind his eyes. He rubbing them quickly, trying to take away the irritation, he looked at Jun who was still sleeping next to him. His hair was in knotted tangles around his face and Nino couldn’t help but reach out and stroke them away. The man looked tired, there were deep shadows under each eye and his face was pale and almost greasy looking with a line of milk spots running down the left side of his face showing him how worried he had been. As a model his biggest draw was his flawless skin but he knew now that it took a lot of hard work and it seemed that he hadn’t been able to do his routine. Nino didn’t mind so much though glad that he was allowed to see this none perfect version of his lover even though his heart ached with guilt. He gave a smile gasp when Jun opened his eyes blinking sleepily a few times as he looked at him
“How are you feeling?” He asked straight away pushing up into a seated position and putting on his glasses his hand resting a hand on his forehead in the now familiar way “Your temperature seems to have eased a bit but that could be because you’ve been asleep…how you feel?”
“M-y… Head hurts and my… Throats sore but… I feel a lot better” Nino croaked wincing as he realised how bad his throat did feel, it was like someone had scraped it with sandpaper and then decided to force feed him salt to ‘treat’ the wound.
“You sound like an old man” Jun laughed though his eyes were showing his concern as he got out of bed and vanished into the kitchen, when he came back Nino gave him the best glare he could manage and then was almost force fed some ice cold peach water before the model vanished into the bathroom. Although he hated the cold around his teeth Nino drank it all letting the cool water soothe his throat before getting slowly to his feet wanting to brush his teeth and wash his face. He really wanted a shower but he doubted if his legs would support him for long enough to manage that particular task, even now they had started to tremble and he was swaying around when he felt Jun wrap an arm around his waist and gently help him back to bed,
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I was just thinking about brushing my teeth and having a shower…I feel pretty gross” He mumbled feeling a little like a lost kid and Jun nodded his scooping him up into his arms and carrying him to the bathroom. He held him as he brushed his teeth helping to move his hair out of his face and Nino decided that he was going to enjoy it more than he wanted to protest but he knew that even if he wanted it, he wouldn’t be able to have a shower now. “Um…I think that I should get back to bed…” He said and Jun nodded picking him up again and carrying him back to the bed.
“Wait there…” He whispered darting away again heading back into the back to the bathroom. There was the sound of running water and then came back with a bowl of water and a cloth. Nino smiled as his lover very carefully he pulled off his sweaty clothes and started washing him. The cloth moved over is sweaty skin and despite himself Nino trembled with excitement, he closed his eyes, as Jun moved over his stomach and before he could stop himself he let out a gasp. The cloth stalled and opening his eyes he saw a troubled expression on the models face
“J-Jun? What’s wrong?” Nino asked his heartbeat quickening against his ribs swallowing as he saw the look that was Jun’s eyes.
“Nothing… I was just thinking how… Fucked I had to be that I’m actually thinking of taking advantage of a sick person” Jun answered his voice shaking, Nino let out a laugh that started a short round of coughing.
“Would you feel better if you knew that the sick person want you to take advantage?” he asked playfully surprised when he saw Jun’s expression cloud over.
“Kazu… Are you with me because you want to be with me?” Jun mumbled and Nino almost spat his heart jumping against his ribs wondering how the hell he had gotten that thought into his head and he reached up trying to stroke his face but Jun caught his hand holing it lightly “I know I raped you that first time…”
“Why is someone like you even with me? I know Nee-chan…was only joking before when she said I had the ‘perfect boyfriend’ but I honestly can’t believe you want to be with me, I can’t help but think you’re trying to make up for taking my virginity, but you shouldn’t be worried… I was already in love with you before” Nino said almost gasping for breath, the model stared at him as if he couldn’t believe what he was saying.
“You loved me before?”
“When you were sick…And even before…I fancied you…” Nino confirmed, he knew it was more than likely his medication that was allowing him to be so honest and once his fever was gone he would really be embarrassed about saying all this but he really wanted to try and lift some of the shadow from Jun’s eyes. “Okay, you being drunk wasn’t the ideal first time, but you were amazing”
“Kazu” Jun smiled kissing his forehead again, the cloth moving over his skin “I really wish you weren’t sick right now, I’m not with you because I feel guilty or anything like that, I love you”
“If your acting career ever ends you’ll make a good nurse…” Nino sighed as the water soothed him Jun gave a laugh and kissed him fully on the mouth almost sucking his breath away, the cloth ‘unintentionally’ slipping further down his body and ending up over his over crotch. Nino moaned into the kiss as Jun began stroking him lightly. Jun smiled trailing his kisses down Nino chest and stomach until they reached the stiffening member “Are you okay?” He asked looking up at Nino’s face his breath tickling the aching member. Nino thrust his hips up so the tip was touching his lips
“P-Please” He moaned shivering as Jun tongue poked out and licked the head. Jun grinned putting his mouth over him. Jun sucked him hard, he wanted to take his time and savour the moans and gasps Nino was letting out but Nino was still sick and needed his rest. He licked the slit hungrily tasting the pre-cum, Nino bucked his hips groaning his name. Jun smiled moving his head quicker as he knew Nino was almost ready. Sure enough there was a loud grunt Nino came hard into his mouth and then lay panting against the pillows. Jun swallowed what was in his mouth and then very quickly pulled his jogging bottoms down and pumping at himself. The sight of the panting Nino was enough fuel a strong enough visual for him to release his own seed in a matter of minutes and he sank heavily onto the bed next to him.
“I’m all sweaty again” Nino moaned rolling over onto to his chest and kissing him sleepily. Jun let out a laugh his arms wrapping around him tightly his lips pressing against his neck.
“I’ll wash you again” He promised groggily as they both fell back into a lazy sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Two days later Jun could finally go to work without feeling guilty for leaving Nino, the younger guy was still a little sick but since he was able to play on the Wii again Jun knew he was well on the way to recovery. That day the shooting started in earnest and most of his scenes were with Hiro as they had to act out their characters ‘best friends’ roles which was easier said than done when Jun wanted to punch him every time Hiro kept whispering that he was going ‘fuck his little boyfriend’. By the end of one day he was drained than he ever had been before, but when he came home and Nino was waiting to say ‘welcome home’ everything else seemed to fly out of the window. He dropped his bag down and hugged him tightly, breathing in his scent letting all of the tension of the day drain out of him.
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Yeah, I slept for a bit this afternoon though…” Nino answered walking towards the sofa that Nino had appeared to have turned into his little nest. “Um…My Nee-chan and Aiba are coming by is that okay?”
“Of course it is” Jun half lied after today all he wanted was a hot shower and to curl up with a good book or Nino, Nino being the preferred, but since his lover seemed so honestly happy that they were coming that he had a quick shower and ordered food that arrived just as Kari did.
“Welcome” Jun smiled at her and Kari beamed a very Nino like smile and he decided, if he was straight, he would have dated her in heartbeat but maybe that just showed how much he loved her brother.
“Wow, your place is amazing” Kari said not even bothering to hide her amazement as she looked around kicking off her shoes again in a very Nino like way and marching forward as if she owned the place.
“You should try cleaning it” Nino joked giving her a faint smile getting up from the sofa still looking a little shaky but healthier than he had been when she had last seen him.
“Hey, brat, I’m sorry I couldn’t get down to see you before…” She grinned hugging her brother tightly and putting one hand on his forehead and the other on her own checking their temperatures “I guess Matsumoto-san has been taking care of you, ne?”
“Yes” Nino nodded with a smile rolling his eyes a little but Jun could see that his lover was like a cat that loved attention even if he said he didn’t.
“Ninomiya-chan” Jun said softly jolting into action when the heat of the food became too much against his leg “you don’t have to keep calling me ‘Matsumoto-san’ Jun or…Well…Jun is fine” The model told her with a laugh and Kari beamed at him nodding brightly as she said;
“Thank-you, and I’m either Nino or Kari…”
“Nino?” Jun frowned looking at Nino who shrugged with a laugh as he flopped back into the sofa saying;
“Both our nicknames are ‘Nino’”
“It was Masa that started it” Kari laughed as Jun headed into the kitchen to serve up “When Kazu first met him in school he couldn’t pronounce Ninomiya so we both became ‘Nino’ or Nino-nee and Nino”
“Ah I see, you and Aiba really known each other a long time” He mused trying and failing to ignore the jealousy that was trying to find its way into his heart.
“Yep”
“And you’re both gay? You’ve never thought about dating each other?” Jun asked slightly more sharply than he had intended causing both Ninomiya siblings to laugh loudly and his cheeks to flush.
“Now that would have been creepy for me to come home to…Kazu and Masa dating” Kari said and when Jun looked up he could see that she was giving him a mock shudder, “I think of them both as my brothers”
“So have you?” Jun asked ignoring her and probing the point to Nino irritated that his boyfriend was just sitting there smiling at him.
“No, we kissed a few times, but we decided we were just friends” Nino answered after his laughter had died down and he had finished a small coughing fit. “So you and Sakurai-san…”
“Well you knew that I had a crush on him when I first started out but I think it made him uncomfortable I grew out of it though and we agreed that we worked better as friends, no I never kissed him” Jun said answering the question “And you already got all jealous over that”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Nino smiled relieved and sank into one of the chairs resting his head on Kari’s shoulder until the doorbell rang, Kari was still laughing, her hand sliding up and down his arm, as Jun went to answer it.
“Wow, you two seem like you’re very much in love” She told him gently and Nino nodded smiling as his eyes closed “But… Is everything really okay?”
“Is something wrong?” Nino asked with his eyebrow raised noticing that she had a strange serious expression on his face and she let out of a long sigh before murmuring;
“I was watching a programme the other day and it was about the drama Jun’s in, it was his co-star Jiro or Hiro whatever it was, any way he was saying something’s that… Um… Hinted about you”
“What kind of things?” Nino asked his eyes narrowing at the mention of that guy wondering how he was already starting to mess things up for them. “Nee-chan…?”
“Just that ‘Matsumoto-san’s type is young and ‘tomboyish’’ and ‘Would be more interested in baseball than make-up’ He didn’t openly say anything but… You didn’t have to be a genius to figure things out…” Kari chewed her lip her eyes glinting and Nino knew that just like when they were younger she wanted to be able to deal with anyone that threatened her baby brother’s happiness. It didn’t matter if it was the schoolyard bully or a famous actor she was prepared to go out fighting. Nino smiled wanting to reassure her even though inside his stomach was churning knowing that this was why Jun was feeling so confused and down lately.
“Everything’s fine Nee-chan,” He said though he decided to have a talk with Jun later. They were didn’t have time any more conversation because Aiba came into the living room followed by Jun and Sakurai.
“Seriously stay away from my paintings” Jun said looking at Aiba who gave a laugh, though he looked nervous and was staying closer to Sakurai than he would have normally done. “Kazu? Do you want to eat here…?”
“…No…No…I’ll come…”
*~**~*~*~*~*~*~~**~
“Okay this really isn’t fair” Kari said with a laugh as they were sat around the table eating the takeaway “surrounded by four good looking guys and not one of them is my boyfriend” Nino rolled his eyes, he knew his sister’s sex life wasn’t as bad as she pretended, in fact it was rare for her to visit without a boyfriend in tow. The other three could also tell she wasn’t really whining and with everything that had been happening recently they were happy to have someone that treated them all as normal couples.
Throughout the meal Kari didn’t bat an eyelid if they touched each other and called each other ‘baby’ or in the case of the SakurAiba pair, as she had decided to call them, ‘love’ and ‘sweetie’. Her fists did clench when she heard about Kieta and the reason that Aiba was now living with the manager. She wasn’t a parent but along with her grandparents she had raised Nino so she could understand the expectations some parents had on their children but she was a firm believer that their happiness came first. If Nino told her his dream was to walk on the moon she would have done anything to make that happen, luckily he had never wanted anything so farfetched, when he was younger it was baseball, Nino had just started on the team when their parents had died, for weeks after the accident he hadn’t touched the glove and ball because ‘Papa was meant to teach me’ it had broken her heart to watch him just stare at it every day. So she had learnt and told him that ‘papa had asked me in a dream to teach him’, she could still remember the look on her boyfriend’s face at the time when she asked him to teach her everything he could about baseball. Now all he was asking her to do was accept the way he was born, that was easy. She smiled as she watched Nino and Jun they were so obviously in love even if it wasn’t as open as SakurAiba the way they looked at each other was so cute she decided.
“Are you okay?” Jun was asking as Nino’s was gathering the dishes, Nino gave a nod and a small smile but truthfully his head had started to ache again Jun didn’t seem convinced and he quickly stood up “Go and sit down I can do that”
“But you’ve been at work all day”
“I can carry dishes to the sink Kazu” Jun said pinching his nose tightly “I’m not that much older than you”
“I’ll help” Kari, Aiba and Sakurai chorused together causing Jun to raise an eyebrow and look around at them,
“I’ll do it” Jun told them “But if you really want to help, Sho-san, will you make a drink?”
“Of course” Sakurai answered untangling his arm from around Aiba’s and going to the kettle, while Kari, Aiba and Nino went to the living area. Nino sat on the sofa pinching his nose as he tried to listen to Aiba and all the gossip from school he had missed out on.
“What about your family?” He asked after a while. Aiba went quiet for a minute “Are you really still staying with Sakurai?”
“Yes” Aiba nodded “I talked with my parents but...We couldn't resolve anything and well...Sho-chan went to fetch my stuff the other day”
“Masaki” both Nino’s said sadly and Aiba gave them a sad smile and a shrug
“It’s okay though, I’m happier with Sho-chan and Wiggles” He told them almost jumping up with excitement when Sakurai and Jun came into the room. Nino watched his friend like he had been most of the evening Aiba was normally a ball of energy anyway but he really did look happier. He blinked when he felt a cool hand on his forehead he looked up and saw Jun chewing his lip his brow creased with a frown.
“Maybe you should go to bed, I don’t want you getting bad again”
“I’m fine, Nurse” Nino laughed waving the hand away but Jun growled loudly catching his hand and snapping;
“Pneumonia isn’t a laughing matter”
“What?!” Kari almost screamed “You had pneumonia?”
“It’s not that bad” Nino said flashing a glare at the model who just shrugged as he sat down next to him his arm wrapping around him holding him tightly as he continued with;
“The doctor wanted him to go to hospital but he refused, so he gave him some strong antibiotics...”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” She said her foot stomping up and down on the floor her arms folding across her chest.
“Because, Nee-chan, you would overreact like you are doing...And come back from college…” Nino sighed his head really was throbbing now and he wished he had just agreed to go to bed. Jun was already fishing for the painkillers in his bag, he gave them to Nino and then handed him the drink. Nino took it gratefully Aiba, Sakurai and Kari left soon after.
“Come on baby, let’s go to bed” Jun said running a hand over Nino’s forehead. Nino had to agree this time his whole body was protesting any kind of movement and he was happy when Jun scooped him into his arms and carried him to the bedroom. They were soon laid side by side in the bed with Jun reading to him from a book and he remembered what Kari had told him.
“Jun, nee-chan mentioned that Hiro was saying some things” Nino said as they were lying in bed, Jun put his book down and gave a sigh.
“I was going to talk to you about it when you were feeling better” he admitted “There have been a lot of rumours lately… About my sexuality”
“What the fuck does that have to do with anyone?” Nino snapped angrily and Jun smiled kissing his shoulder,
“Nothing, but people think it does because I’m in the public eye, I’m not that famous yet, but because of Takashi this special is getting a lot of publicity and Sho-san thinks I could get more acting roles. But with more roles the more my private life will be put under a microscope and the more the so called press will enjoy getting a kick out of any scandals I may have, which includes the fact that I’m gay and you” Jun looked at him sadly “Hiro’s doing his best to tell the whole of Japan that I’m into guys and if we’re seen together more than once or twice people will assume the truth. It means the time we can spend together in public will be greatly reduced,”
“It’s not like we go out much anyway” Nino shrugged and rested his head against him, the model smiled resting his chin on the younger guy’s head
“There’s also the fact that my father is appearing in the drama I said that it’s okay to deal with him but as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to look more and more like him, so people are going to add things together, that will bring more trouble… You shouldn’t have to deal with all this, Kazu… If… If you think it’s too much hassle, I’ll… I’ll understand if you decide to leave me…”
“Okay, I’ll leave you” Nino said and he heard Jun’s heart thud in his chest and he gave a small laugh “You’re an idiot, Jun” He mumbled kissing the skin “I told you I love you, I very rarely tell nee-chan I love her or my grandma, don’t try and push me away, because I’m happy with you”
“Thank-you”
“Hmm” Nino mumbled running his fingers down Jun’s stomach, until he reached the faint trail of hairs that disappeared into his boxers. He really wanted to follow them but today had really taken it out of him, he gave a sigh hoping he’d hurry up and get better. Jun seemed to understand his feeing and grabbed his hand, and kissing his fingers
“You should get some sleep…”
“Okay” Nino answered snuggling to him as Jun took his glasses off and switched the light out. The model smiled as he felt Nino’s soft breath tickling at him, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed that Nino was getting better and that soon he would be going home. Tonight with everyone being there it had felt like he had a real family, and it was all thanks to the small guy in his arms. His pressed his lips to Nino’s cheek
“I really love you”
“Hmm, me too” Nino replied sleepily snuggling further against him and Jun should have known that it wasn’t meant to last.
TBC
A/N: I hope that this was okay ^_^
“How are you feeling?” He asked straight away pushing up into a seated position and putting on his glasses his hand resting a hand on his forehead in the now familiar way “Your temperature seems to have eased a bit but that could be because you’ve been asleep…how you feel?”
“M-y… Head hurts and my… Throats sore but… I feel a lot better” Nino croaked wincing as he realised how bad his throat did feel, it was like someone had scraped it with sandpaper and then decided to force feed him salt to ‘treat’ the wound.
“You sound like an old man” Jun laughed though his eyes were showing his concern as he got out of bed and vanished into the kitchen, when he came back Nino gave him the best glare he could manage and then was almost force fed some ice cold peach water before the model vanished into the bathroom. Although he hated the cold around his teeth Nino drank it all letting the cool water soothe his throat before getting slowly to his feet wanting to brush his teeth and wash his face.

“Wait there…” He whispered darting away again heading back into the back to the bathroom. There was the sound of running water and then came back with a bowl of water and a cloth. Nino smiled as his lover very carefully he pulled off his sweaty clothes and started washing him. The cloth moved over is sweaty skin and despite himself Nino trembled with excitement, he closed his eyes, as Jun moved over his stomach and before he could stop himself he let out a gasp. The cloth stalled and opening his eyes he saw a troubled expression on the models face
“J-Jun? What’s wrong?” Nino asked his heartbeat quickening against his ribs swallowing as he saw the look that was Jun’s eyes.
“Nothing… I was just thinking how… Fucked I had to be that I’m actually thinking of taking advantage of a sick person” Jun answered his voice shaking, Nino let out a laugh that started a short round of coughing.
“Would you feel better if you knew that the sick person want you to take advantage?” he asked playfully surprised when he saw Jun’s expression cloud over.
“Kazu… Are you with me because you want to be with me?” Jun mumbled and Nino almost spat his heart jumping against his ribs wondering how the hell he had gotten that thought into his head and he reached up trying to stroke his face but Jun caught his hand holing it lightly “I know I raped you that first time…”

“Kazu” Jun smiled kissing his forehead again, the cloth moving over his skin “I really wish you weren’t sick right now, I’m not with you because I feel guilty or anything like that, I love you”
“If your acting career ever ends you’ll make a good nurse…” Nino sighed as the water soothed him Jun gave a laugh and kissed him fully on the mouth almost sucking his breath away, the cloth ‘unintentionally’ slipping further down his body and ending up over his over crotch. Nino moaned into the kiss as Jun began stroking him lightly.

“I’ll wash you again” He promised groggily as they both fell back into a lazy sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Two days later Jun could finally go to work without feeling guilty for leaving Nino, the younger guy was still a little sick but since he was able to play on the Wii again Jun knew he was well on the way to recovery. That day the shooting started in earnest and most of his scenes were with Hiro as they had to act out their characters ‘best friends’ roles which was easier said than done when Jun wanted to punch him every time Hiro kept whispering that he was going ‘fuck his little boyfriend’.

“Thank-you, and I’m either Nino or Kari…”
“Nino?” Jun frowned looking at Nino who shrugged with a laugh as he flopped back into the sofa saying;

“It was Masa that started it” Kari laughed as Jun headed into the kitchen to serve up “When Kazu first met him in school he couldn’t pronounce Ninomiya so we both became ‘Nino’ or Nino-nee and Nino”
“Ah I see, you and Aiba really known each other a long time” He mused trying and failing to ignore the jealousy that was trying to find its way into his heart.
“Yep”
“And you’re both gay? You’ve never thought about dating each other?” Jun asked slightly more sharply than he had intended causing both Ninomiya siblings to laugh loudly and his cheeks to flush.

“So have you?” Jun asked ignoring her and probing the point to Nino irritated that his boyfriend was just sitting there smiling at him.
“No, we kissed a few times, but we decided we were just friends” Nino answered after his laughter had died down and he had finished a small coughing fit. “So you and Sakurai-san…”
“Well you knew that I had a crush on him when I first started out but I think it made him uncomfortable I grew out of it though and we agreed that we worked better as friends, no I never kissed him” Jun said answering the question “And you already got all jealous over that”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Nino smiled relieved and sank into one of the chairs resting his head on Kari’s shoulder until the doorbell rang, Kari was still laughing, her hand sliding up and down his arm, as Jun went to answer it.

If Nino told her his dream was to walk on the moon she would have done anything to make that happen, luckily he had never wanted anything so farfetched, when he was younger it was baseball, Nino had just started on the team when their parents had died, for weeks after the accident he hadn’t touched the glove and ball because ‘Papa was meant to teach me’ it had broken her heart to watch him just stare at it every day. So she had learnt and told him that ‘papa had asked me in a dream to teach him’, she could still remember the look on her boyfriend’s face at the time when she asked him to teach her everything he could about baseball. Now all he was asking her to do was accept the way he was born, that was easy. She smiled as she watched Nino and Jun they were so obviously in love even if it wasn’t as open as SakurAiba the way they looked at each other was so cute she decided.
“Are you okay?” Jun was asking as Nino’s was gathering the dishes, Nino gave a nod and a small smile but truthfully his head had started to ache again Jun didn’t seem convinced and he quickly stood up “Go and sit down I can do that”
“But you’ve been at work all day”
“I can carry dishes to the sink Kazu” Jun said pinching his nose tightly “I’m not that much older than you”
“I’ll help” Kari, Aiba and Sakurai chorused together causing Jun to raise an eyebrow and look around at them,
“I’ll do it” Jun told them “But if you really want to help, Sho-san, will you make a drink?”
“Of course” Sakurai answered untangling his arm from around Aiba’s and going to the kettle, while Kari, Aiba and Nino went to the living area. Nino sat on the sofa pinching his nose as he tried to listen to Aiba and all the gossip from school he had missed out on.
“What about your family?” He asked after a while. Aiba went quiet for a minute “Are you really still staying with Sakurai?”
“Yes” Aiba nodded “I talked with my parents but...We couldn't resolve anything and well...Sho-chan went to fetch my stuff the other day”
“Masaki” both Nino’s said sadly and Aiba gave them a sad smile and a shrug
“It’s okay though, I’m happier with Sho-chan and Wiggles” He told them almost jumping up with excitement when Sakurai and Jun came into the room. Nino watched his friend like he had been most of the evening Aiba was normally a ball of energy anyway but he really did look happier. He blinked when he felt a cool hand on his forehead he looked up and saw Jun chewing his lip his brow creased with a frown.
“Maybe you should go to bed, I don’t want you getting bad again”
“I’m fine, Nurse” Nino laughed waving the hand away but Jun growled loudly catching his hand and snapping;
“Pneumonia isn’t a laughing matter”
“What?!” Kari almost screamed “You had pneumonia?”
“It’s not that bad” Nino said flashing a glare at the model who just shrugged as he sat down next to him his arm wrapping around him holding him tightly as he continued with;
“The doctor wanted him to go to hospital but he refused, so he gave him some strong antibiotics...”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” She said her foot stomping up and down on the floor her arms folding across her chest.
“Because, Nee-chan, you would overreact like you are doing...And come back from college…” Nino sighed his head really was throbbing now and he wished he had just agreed to go to bed. Jun was already fishing for the painkillers in his bag, he gave them to Nino and then handed him the drink. Nino took it gratefully Aiba, Sakurai and Kari left soon after.
“Come on baby, let’s go to bed” Jun said running a hand over Nino’s forehead. Nino had to agree this time his whole body was protesting any kind of movement and he was happy when Jun scooped him into his arms and carried him to the bedroom. They were soon laid side by side in the bed with Jun reading to him from a book and he remembered what Kari had told him.
“Jun, nee-chan mentioned that Hiro was saying some things” Nino said as they were lying in bed, Jun put his book down and gave a sigh.
“I was going to talk to you about it when you were feeling better” he admitted “There have been a lot of rumours lately… About my sexuality”
“What the fuck does that have to do with anyone?” Nino snapped angrily and Jun smiled kissing his shoulder,
“Nothing, but people think it does because I’m in the public eye, I’m not that famous yet, but because of Takashi this special is getting a lot of publicity and Sho-san thinks I could get more acting roles. But with more roles the more my private life will be put under a microscope and the more the so called press will enjoy getting a kick out of any scandals I may have, which includes the fact that I’m gay and you” Jun looked at him sadly “Hiro’s doing his best to tell the whole of Japan that I’m into guys and if we’re seen together more than once or twice people will assume the truth. It means the time we can spend together in public will be greatly reduced,”
“It’s not like we go out much anyway” Nino shrugged and rested his head against him, the model smiled resting his chin on the younger guy’s head
“There’s also the fact that my father is appearing in the drama I said that it’s okay to deal with him but as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to look more and more like him, so people are going to add things together, that will bring more trouble… You shouldn’t have to deal with all this, Kazu… If… If you think it’s too much hassle, I’ll… I’ll understand if you decide to leave me…”
“Okay, I’ll leave you” Nino said and he heard Jun’s heart thud in his chest and he gave a small laugh “You’re an idiot, Jun” He mumbled kissing the skin “I told you I love you, I very rarely tell nee-chan I love her or my grandma, don’t try and push me away, because I’m happy with you”
“Thank-you”
“Hmm” Nino mumbled running his fingers down Jun’s stomach, until he reached the faint trail of hairs that disappeared into his boxers. He really wanted to follow them but today had really taken it out of him, he gave a sigh hoping he’d hurry up and get better. Jun seemed to understand his feeing and grabbed his hand, and kissing his fingers
“You should get some sleep…”
“Okay” Nino answered snuggling to him as Jun took his glasses off and switched the light out. The model smiled as he felt Nino’s soft breath tickling at him, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed that Nino was getting better and that soon he would be going home. Tonight with everyone being there it had felt like he had a real family, and it was all thanks to the small guy in his arms. His pressed his lips to Nino’s cheek
“I really love you”
“Hmm, me too” Nino replied sleepily snuggling further against him and Jun should have known that it wasn’t meant to last.
