krystalkatzficzJun yawned and rubbed his eyes looking dully at the crowd of people that were around him. AD’s, lighting, runners…All of them were talking and laughing loudly causing a low pulse behind his eyes. Even with his mother’s attitude he had been in relatively good mood when they had arrived at the studio but the long hours and constant retakes were starting to do his head in. It was as if everyone was out to get him and stop him from being able to get home early and talk to his mother. Nino had a recording for his radio show afterwards so the apartment would be empty enough for him to talk to her without any distractions.
“Urgh! Today is bad, ne?!” Aiba asked coming to drop down beside him on the low stool and Jun foun himself bobbing up and down with the action. “I don’t think I’ve made this many mistakes before!”
“We all seem pretty awful today…” Jun agreed with a nod staring at Nino who was recording his section. He hadn’t made as many mistakes as the rest of them but that he had made any at all showed how bad his condition was. Chewing on his bottom lip he hoped that it wasn’t because he was questioning their relationship. It was obvious that he would but Jun had hoped that he had been convincing that morning.
“…Nino…He has been looking better lately…” Masaki hummed following his gaze and breaking into his thoughts. “Today though he’s looking sad again…Well…Not sad…I dunno…Nervous…Um…Is everything okay? You and him…Um…”
“Um?” Jun asked stiffly his eyes narrowing sharply as he looked at the man that most people agreed was an idiot. There was an innocence in his face and his eyes mostly but there was also a questioning and a knowing look buried there. Jun knew that he could deny it but he also knew that even if he did, Masaki knew as certainly as his mother did. He wasn’t sure how they hadn’t been acting that differently around each other. He had been nicer to Nino that was true but he had also been nicer to everyone else to compensate for that. Growling just a little under his breath he turned his face away from the questioning eyes and mumbled “We’re fine…My mum found out…”
“Awkward…Parents can be tough…But you know…It’s your life, ne?” Masaki hummed brightly and Jun gave a noncommittal hum his cheeks going a dull red as he chewed on his bottom lip. “J…You can be all indifferent if you like but…Um…You know…It’s pretty obvious that you love each other and that’s all that matters…Ah my turn!” Masaki positively skipped away leaving Jun feeling dazed and confused, like had he been hit by a small but sudden tornado. To be far Aiba often had that effect on him but it was even worse this time as he couldn’t believe that he had been read so easily by Arashi’s idiot. Nino came to sit in the place that Aiba had just vacated and Jun smiled a little nudging at his arm with his hand. The shorter man stiffened for just a moment but gave a smile of his own and nudged back asking softly;
“Sushi tonight?”
“Yeah…” Jun agreed loving the natural way that it sounded. It was like Nino had made up his mind again and was determined to give them a chance “…I’ll order…”
“I’ll pick it up…My treat…Just don’t get used to it…” Nino grumbled the pink of embarrassment colouring his cheeks and Jun gave an even wider smile whispering in his ear;
“I wouldn’t dream of it…Thanks, Kazu…”
“Hmm…I have to leave soon…Come out with me?” Nino whispered causing him to jolt with surprise but nod happily getting to his feet as his boyfriend did. Avoiding looking at the beaming Aiba they left the set and walked down the long corridors of the studio until eventually finding their way to the exit. “Masaki knows…” Nino told him as he lit a cigarette and released a long steady stream of smoke watching the road. "I don’t know how but he knows…”
“I know…He came to me…He wanted to know if everything was okay between us…” Jun hummed looking at his boyfriend with his eyebrow raised into a question honestly wanting to know the answer to that himself. It probably wasn’t the best time or place to ask it but he was half afraid that Nino wouldn’t be coming back later even if he had promised sushi. Nino flashed him a weak troubled smile before drawing on his cigarette again as he gave him a shrug mumbling;
“…I…Dunno…I…Like I said earlier…I’m scared…If this goes wrong…And something happens…If we break up then I’ve lost one of my best friends…”
“It won’t go wrong Kazu, I won’t let it…” Jun promised adamantly aware that Nino gave him a small slightly disbelieving look but his lips did twitch into a more convincing smile. The black SUV pulled up in front of them and Nino’s manager/driver stepped out giving him a small wave. Jun stroked his fingers down over Nino’s palm saying “Your car’s here…We’ll talk more when you get home…”
“Fine…I’ll see you later…” Nino agreed brushing his own hand against him stubbing out his cigarette and heading off to the car with a cheerful wave that Jun returned with a small one of his own. He watched the car until he couldn’t see it anymore and then turned back to studio preparing to grab his bag and head home stopping when he saw Sakurai standing against the double metal doors his arms folded across his chest as he was looking up at the sky. It looked almost like he was sleep walking but Jun knew that it wasn’t just a coincidence that he was there at that moment.
“Sho?” He queried softly pulling the warm gaze onto him. Arashi’s rapper gave him a smile that showed off the chipmunk teeth as he gave him a salute.
“Yo…I got your bag…Shall we go talk?” He asked waving his grey and black bag rattling the s/election of vitamins and pills that he had stored in there.
“Did Masaki tell you to come and talk to me?” Jun asked suspiciously but Sakurai shook his head giving a great show of looking innocent. Jun personally thought the older man wasn’t a good enough actor to fool him and he almost relaxed.
“Nope…I just thought it would be nice…” The man shrugged rubbing his chin “You looked stressed out again…I thought that maybe we could go for a drink…?”
“I…I can’t go out but…” He hummed almost cursing in his mind knowing that he was going to have to shift his plans around but he supposed that it would be best if he allowed both himself and his mother to calm down for a bit before they talked “You could come to mine…For a while…”
“Okay…” Sakurai hummed throwing his bag at him. Jun caught it easily and together they headed to the rappers car with Jun quickly texting his manager to tell him that he was going. The drive back to his apartment complex was done a quiet that was only dulled by the soft thud of a CD that Sakurai was playing. Several times throughout the drive he had attempted to speak but he decided in the end that it was a better to let the older man speak when they got to his home. They were soon pulling up outside of his building and they headed inside. They had barely sat down for more than a few minutes before Sakurai was scratching his head and looking around the room. His eyes narrowed on the additions that Nino had added to his apartment. There wasn’t many, just his computers stacked up beside his television, but it was enough to indicate that their brattiest member wasn’t just a guest here. “So you and Nino…When did that happen?”
“…About a month ago…” Jun shrugged “Is that a problem?”
“No…But...You can start talking…I’m not stupid…I know that there was something going on…Talk to me, you used to…”

Anyway, I'm longing to see Sakumoto's talk!
