Author: krystalkatz
rating: PG

Length: One Shot
Genre: AU,

Pairings: Sakurai Sho/Ninomiya Kazunari,
Disclaimer: I only own the plot,

Ninomiya Kazunari stared at his reflection in the mirror trying to decide if there was anything likable about his face. His eyes seemed to far together and his lips were too thin, his nose was small and bulbous which gave him a cute image he supposed reluctantly and a lot of people thought that his completion was as clear as a newly born babies. His eyes were nice dark against light and his hair was soft and feathery falling around his face in a light waterfall effect. He looked very feminine which considering that he worked as a hostess in a transvestite bar was a good thing but as he was gay and hard up for male companionship was a bad thing. Guys that liked guys wanted guys that actually looked like guys. It wasn’t like he had even wanted to work here in club Arashi anyway he had just been very short on cash and about to have the crap beat out of him when the club Mama Aiba Masaki had taken pity on him and asked him to work for him.

“Nino-chan…Why do you look so gloomy?” Aiba asked now using his female identity as he swept over to him looking fabulous in a grey, pink and green kimono. Aiba was the very definition of a mama taking care of all of the workers under his care with so much love that it was impossible not to respond to him and he answered quickly;

“My boyfriend broke up with me…”

“What? Why?” Aiba asked immediately in mother hen mode kneeling down in front of him his perfectly made up face not masking his concern for him.

“Because I looked like a woman…” Nino sighed playing around with his make-up brush and sighing with bitterness at it all. “Just like the last one…”

“I’m sorry…But he obviously wasn’t worth it then…You’re beautiful…” Aiba said and suddenly there was a flurry of activity around him as the rest of the workers gathered around him telling him how much of a jerk-off his ex-boyfriend had been and that the right guy was out there he just had to wait. “See…Now stop looking so grumpy you’ll get lines…You have to go and see old man Johnny…”

“Is it my turn already?” Nino asked the good mood vanishing in an instant and he chewed on his lip seeing Aiba nod apologetically. ‘Old man Johnny’ was the owner of club Arashi and nobody liked dealing with him. He was thankfully bedridden now but only a few years ago when Nino had been starting out he had been a menace. There was a strictly no touching policy in the club but Johnny thought that as the owner he had every right to pay no attention to that.

“I can ask…”

“No” Nino said quickly as the ones around him started flinching and almost backing away in case they were the unlucky one to be picked. “I’ll get dressed and go…”

“Okay…” Aiba whispered tapping him lightly on the nose. The routine of getting dressed was now quick and simple with understated make up and his natural hair tucked away under a chestnut brown wig that rippled down to his hips. Next was a frilly white blouse that only just covered the tips of his shoulders before he pulled on a simple light summer dress that had a white under skirt and then a see through over dress with little roses stitched over it. Lastly came his sandals, again yellow with a grouping of leather roses around the ankle and just the hint of a heel. “Wow, Kazuko…You are very beautiful…”

“Thank-you mama…” Nino smiled taking the envelope of rent money and sticking it his bag “I’ll be back soon…”

“Take care…” Aiba told him as he walked to the staff exit.

It wasn’t far to the home of Old Man Johnny but Nino didn’t rush walking steadily but thinking about what he would have to do. First off he would have to move out of the apartment, that bit was easy he hadn’t even moved in really all his stuff was still being stored in the attic of the club and he supposed that that should have told him that it wasn’t going last but he had wanted it to.

A loud wolf whistle pulled him out of his thoughts and he looked up swallowing when he saw a group of foreigners walking towards him. They looked drunk and were staggering around a little. They were too close for him to move away without it being obvious and soon he was surrounded with them all reaching out and touching his face and hair speaking in gibberish that he didn’t understand. He tried to wriggle out of the way clutching his bag tightly to his chest until gasping when it was pulled out of his hands and he was knocked to the floor.

“Oi!” A voice shouted “The hell do you think you’re playing at…?” Nino hid his face with his hands as a fight broke out between the guys that had tried to steal from him and his rescuer. A few minutes later there was the sound of running feet somebody standing over him “Are you okay, Ninomiya…?”

“Huh? Yeah…How…Who…Sho? Sakurai Sho?” Nino gasped with surprise hearing his name and he looked up blinking at the person that he had fantasied about since school. Sakurai Sho, he had been the school advisor and was the first person that Nino had come out to when he was only 15. To see him here as large as life now was something that turned his insides into something resembling jelly and had his heart hammering against his ribs. He hadn’t seen the man in 5 years but he was still incredible to look at with raven black hair, which still flopped cutely over one eye, and his full almost perfect mouth. A mouth that he had fantasied around his cock so many times in the past and still did now if he was left to handle himself solo. Sakurai smiled reaching out to him and Nino took the hand eagerly smiling as he was pulled up with ease his heels tapping against the floor.

“Well I wish it could have been under better circumstances but I’m happy I got to meet you again…” Sakurai said patting down the small collection of dirt and dust from his dress and Nino found himself blushing under his make-up.

“Me…Too...” He managed to say swallowing down the lump from his throat as his handbag was given back to him. “Thank-you…”

“…Where were you going? I’ll walk with you…” The older man said and Nino couldn’t, and didn’t want to, find an excuse to refuse but he did ask;

“Are you sure?”

“Yup…So what have you been doing since school, Ninomiya-ku…Chan…?” Sakurai asked as they started walking again and Nino straightened himself up proud to be walking beside him even if nothing was ever going to happen from it.

“I identify as being a boy…” He told him with a smile noticing that he was having trouble witch gender suffix to use and he ran his fingers down the soft folds of the dress “This…Believe it or not is my job…I work as a hostess at a cross dressing club…”

“…Really? How did that happen?” Sakurai asked surprise flashing on his face for a fraction of a second before he managed to get in under control again.

“I needed a job and the mama gave me one…” Nino answered with a shrug that caused him to lose his centre of gravity and he wobbled dangerously before stumbling into Sakurai thankfully not twisting his ankle “Ah sorry sensei…”

“I’m not your sensei anymore...” Sakurai said his arm slipping around his waist even though he was okay. Nino cursed his weakness for not pulling away allowing himself to stay pressed close to the older man. They continued to walk like two lovers on a date until Nino saw the alley that led to Johnny’s apartment.

“It’s this way…” He said tugging out of the warm grip and walking to the alley way aware that Sakurai was still closer than he should have been. It was having an effect on him that he didn’t really want when he was going to be dealing with Johnny. “I have to take the rent to the owner of the club…What have you been doing sen…Um….Sakurai-san?”

“I work in another school as an English teacher…” Sakurai answered slowly and Nino hummed with interest his excitement dipping the closer he got to the building. By the time he actually arrived he was so sick with nerves that he couldn’t focus on anything else. Sakurai stayed beside him until he reached the correct apartment though “I’ll wait here…”

“Um…You don’t have to…” Nino said staring at the door and trying to put of going inside wishing that he had come dressed in trousers instead. Sakurai smiled shaking his head and saying;

“I will…I’d like to talk more…”

“Okay…I’ll try not to be too long…”

The apartment was as always closed off from the outside world with thick curtains and blinds and almost stifling hot with the fire that was lit. There was a hint of piss in the air and medicine giving the who apartment the smell of old people’s homes and hospitals and Nino tried not to let his nose wrinkle up too much.

“Who is it?” The raspy voice called out of the gloom and Nino had to fight a shudder deciding that even if he was ancient his voice was still as oily as an eel and he couldn’t forget the feel of him as he loomed over him when he had first started.

“Nino-chan, master” Nino breathed slowly attempting to smile as bowed his head his flesh creeping a little as he found the old eyes moving over him. Again thankful that the man was bedridden now he pulled out the envelope with the rent inside and shuffled forward “Mama Aiba sent me…”

“Ah the rent, he’s so good...You look beautiful today…” Johnny told him as he reached out for the envelope. His hand closed around his and Nino found himself being pulled forward until their faces were almost touching. “Very beautiful…”

“Thank-you…” Nino said his insides curling and clenching tightly as he tried to swallow down some bile that had risen up to the back of his throat. He was glad that after the eyes had moved over him he was released.

“See you in a month, Nino-chan…” He said and Nino trying not to fall over his own feet as he tried to leave as quickly as he could without actually running.

Outside of the apartment Sakurai was leaning against the wall his arms folded looking like he was either really enjoying the painting of the meadow that was on the wall or staring into space as his lips curved into a smile.

“Nino-kun…” He gasped coming back to life so suddenly that Nino almost jumped backwards his heart leaping against his ribs. “Sorry I was miles away…Are you finished?”

“Yeah…Urgh! Even if I live in a bath for a week I’ll never be clean…” He groaned as they walked down the staircase neither of them wanting to wait for the elevator “I hate this! I’m glad that it’s only once a month…Um…Sakurai-san you don’t have to walk me back…I appreciate it…but…I’m sure you have better things to do than follow me around…”

“No” Sakurai said with determination “At this time of night and you looking like that it would be better…”

“…Is there something wrong with the way I look?” Nino asked biting his lip suddenly feeling ashamed of the way that he was dressed. It had taken him so getting used to but he thought that he pulled it off with the clothes that he wore.

“Yes…You look amazing…” Sakurai said and Nino almost missed a step when he added “Like you always have…”

“Um…Sensei…” Nino gulped before giving a strained laugh his heart dancing against his ribs “It’s funny but…I always had a crush on you”

“I know…I had one on you too…” Sakurai said grabbing his hand as they reached the bottom floor

“What?!” Nino almost screeched blushing when eyes turned to look at them and he hung his head quickly glad that his wig covered most of his face. Sakurai chuckled, a warm sound that caused his heart to vibrate against his ribs, nodding a little and rubbing the back of his own neck saying;

“Yep…It’s actually why I left the school…”

“Huh? Because…You fancied me?” Nino whispered unable to believe what he was hearing, the man had told him at the time that he was leaving because of a family emergency he couldn’t believe that it was because he had fancied him. He was half convinced that the guys from earlier had done more damage to him that he had thought and this was some kind of magical dream sequence but when he pinched himself he felt pain. Sakurai nodded again his smile becoming a little more sheepish as he whispered;

“Well…I couldn’t do anything about it while you were technically my student could I? You were only 15…”

“And now? I mean…Um…” Nino stammered well aware of how they must look to other people but not caring. This was something that he had dreamt about since forever and he didn’t care who saw, he just hoped that the next sentence out of Sakurai’s mouth wasn’t ‘I’m seeing somebody’.

“Well that’s what I was going to ask you…Are you single?” Sakurai asked before blushing himself “…I mean it’s a long shot…”

“I am…In fact I was dumped last night…” The younger man answered honestly contemplating kissing his ex-boyfriend for breaking up with him, more so when Sakurai gave him a wide smile showing off his larger than average front teeth.

“So…Would you like to go on a date with me then?” He asked and Nino’s neck almost broke from nodding hard.

“Yes, please…” He agreed happily and Sakurai grinned again two spots of colour forming in his cheeks as he nodded saying;

“Good…Um…I’ll walk you back…And we can talk about it…”

“Yeah…” The hostess agreed linking his arm with the one that was offered “I’m glad it was my turn to pay the rent”

THE END
A/N: Um…I hope that this is okay…^_^
