krystalkatzficzAiba chewed nervously on his tongue his eyes fixed on the clock face watching the hand of the clock move slowly around. Sakurai had told him that he would come today but he was terrified that he wasn’t going to keep his word. He didn’t want to doubt him but he knew that it would be hard for him to come after what had happened between them.
“It’s not going to move any quicker just because you’re staring at it…” Nino muttered jabbing him in the back with his elbow and although he groaned Aiba didn’t break his concentration on the clock “Serious…Aren’t you going to tell me what the hell happened yesterday?”
“Nope” Aiba answered without missing a beat his heart jumping as the minute hand made a movement towards the 7. Only three more minutes and he would find out if he was going to see Sakurai ever again and he couldn’t stop the feeling of nerves. Last night hadn’t been able to sleep worry about it wishing that he could just show Sakurai his mind and heart and let him know that he didn’t care about the scars or how bad they might be in the places that he hadn’t shown him yet. He didn’t know how the older man had gotten them but they weren’t all that he was.
“…Masa…You know…” Nino started in a surprisingly gentle tone and Aiba closed his eyes, squeezing them tightly as he tensed his body expecting his friend to be too nice while saying that he should start to get ready to give up on Sakurai. He loved Nino like a brother and always would but right now that would be the last thing that he would ever want to hear. “…I hope he comes…”
“Huh?” Aiba gasped in surprise spinning around and looking at his friend who was doing his best to look uninterested and non-embarrassed as he gave a shrug and brushed his fingers through his hair mumbling;
“Tonight…I…Just hope he comes…”
“Nino…I…” Aiba stopped speaking his heart blooming with hope when he heard the tinkling of bells above the door and he looked up sharply at the door tempted to scream with happiness when he saw Sakurai standing there looking more sheepish than he normally did.
“Um…” He said before stopping and Aiba felt like crying when the voice washed over him. Nino gave a mild chuckle and then vanished into the back room leaving them alone to stare at each other in a very awkward silence, which was only broken for Aiba with the sound of his own heart thumping against his ear drums.
“Sho-chan!” He breathed, with more relief in his voice than he had been intending, his eyes moving over the form of the author as he made his way into the store and slowly as if he was dragging his feet over the tiles. It was hard to tell with the coverings of the mask and sunglasses but Aiba could tell from body language alone that the man was even more depressed than normal. He had guessed that he would be, what happened between them yesterday would have been shocking for him and he knew that Sakurai wouldn’t believe him not yet he had obviously been hurt deeply in the past. Sakurai came to stand in front of him and pulled away the sun glasses. There were dark bags under his eyes and without even thinking about it Aiba brought his fingers up and brushed underneath them very lightly. “You didn’t sleep ne…”
“Um…No…” Sakurai agreed pulling the mask down over his nose to reveal a pretty pink blush in his cheeks along with pale and slightly bruised lips. It was as if he had been chewing on them all night and Aiba could only hope that it wasn’t because he wanted to forget about the kisses that they had shared.
“I’m glad you came…” He said allowing his fingers to move to those lips now and he felt like wincing when he felt the roughened split skin. Sakurai’s lips pursed against his thumb almost like he was giving him a kiss before he moved away leaving Aiba’s hand to hover in the air for a few moments before he dropped it down to his side and gave a weak laugh that sounded more forced than anything else and he squeezed his hands tightly trying to keep his emotions in check as he asked “Do you want tea or coffee…”
“Neither…I…I came to tell you that…I won’t be coming back…Here…I…” Sakurai said and Aiba felt like fainting as his heart really did shatter into a thousand pieces and his eyes quickly stung with tears as he managed to gasp incoherently;
“What? Why…Sho-chan! Please…”
“I’m sorry…I…” Sakurai said shaking his head and shuffling backwards towards the door leaving him standing in the middle of the store a tremble breaking out over his body.
“You’re a selfish prick…” Nino growled coming out of the backroom his eyes blazing with anger “So what you’ve got a few scars…It’s not the end of the world so stop acting like it is…”
“Nino! Nino calm down…” Aiba stared at his friend in shock never having seen him this way before. Nino was normally the type of person that would avoid conflicts at all costs. When they were in school he had been being hassled by some older guys and Nino had just walked away pretending not to know him.
“No! You deserve better than him…” Nino snapped pulling his arm away from Aiba’s grasping hands as he narrowed his eyes at Sakurai who had stopped still against the door “And I don’t mean because of your scars but because you can’t be arsed to pull your head out your arse…You want to go play victim then fine just keep your word and never come back or I’ll make sure that Samii breaks your neck…I get that you’re scared but Masaki is that last person in the world that would hurt you…”
“Nino…” Aiba whispered surprised but pleased by this show of emotion from his friend but knowing that they couldn’t force Sakurai like this. He knew the older man had feelings for him, the second kiss had proved that to him, but if he didn’t have the courage to take the next step on his own then he couldn’t force him. “It’s okay…I understand Sho-chan…But…I don’t want you to shut yourself away again…No matter what you think of yourself you deserve better than that…”
“Aiba-chan…Your friend is right…You’re so sweet you deserve better than me…”
“I don’t want anybody else, Sho-chan…I want you…You who treats me like I’m smart even though I’m really a bit thick…You who likes the way I laugh even when it can be annoying…” Aiba swallowed down a lump picturing the past month and all the ways that Sakurai had made him feel special. “I…Personally think that we were…Made for each other…I…I care about you Sho-chan…and I know you do me and you think that running away would be better for me but it won’t…Because I was born to love you and what am I going to do if I can’t do that?”
“Ai…Masaki…You have no idea…I…This…This isn’t all there is…” Sakurai motioned to his face almost angrily before he pulled off his glove and showed him his hand. It was how he had pictured but a little more so with the fingers at the end fused together at the end. It was true that the scars were more pronounced here with his hand looking almost like melted plastic but it was nothing that Aiba thought he couldn’t handle. With a small smile he reached out and took the hand stroking the joined fingers first before taking it by the wrist and kissing them lightly.
“Nothing you could show me would make me this less of you, Sho-chan…Your personality is too warm for that…Unless you kicked puppies into rivers and killed children…I could never hate you or be disgusted by you…Don’t say scary things about not coming back please…” Aiba whispered trying to ignore the nervous way that his heart was jumping. Never in his life had he been this confident or so forward but he knew that if he didn’t then there was no chance that Sakurai would move forward. “Please…Take a chance…”
“…I will...For you I will…But…You’re going to have…To keep…Helping me…”
“Don’t worry Sho-chan, I will!”

A/N: So they’re finally going to take a chance on dating…I hope that this is okay ^_^
