krystalkatzficz“Um… I um…” Jun stammered looking at Nino who was nervously licking his lips and toying with the hem of his t-shirt, something that he seemed to do a lot when he wasn’t reciting his scripts. Jun still could understand how somebody could be so confident and almost flirty one minute and then shy and innocent looking the next. It was a completely contrasting personality which amazed and delighted him while at the same time it had the power to terrify him because he had no idea how to react to fancying a guy. “I think we should try something else…”
“I… Well you two looked completely realistic…But if you do that on stage I think Taguchi-sensei and Sakamoto-sensei will faint” Aiba said with a breathless giggle, his voice acting as effectively as a cold shower knocking some much needed sense into him “You looked like you were all in love!”
Jun blinked with surprise moving away from Nino so quickly that he tripped over his own feet and found himself falling to the ground with a thunk smacking his knee hard against the slabs. White hot pain shot through his body but, to his immense shame, it was worth it when he heard Nino let out a gasp and come to kneel in front of him, his hands coming to rest on his arm as he asked;
“Jun-kun, are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine…Just a bump…” He answered his cheeks going a warm as he tried to smile the throbbing in his legs making it impossible to get any sincerity in it. Even with Nino looking at him with the sweetest expression on his face couldn’t stop all the dull ache that was pulsing through his leg and he was horrified to realise that there was liquid in his eyes. He blinked furiously trying to get rid of it not wanting Aiba to see and tease him about crying or something equally stupid.
“I think that we should have a look, ne” Nino said gently turning to look at Sakurai “Sho-kun…Can you help him into the house?”
“Yup…” Sakurai answered and before Jun could protest he was being hoisted up and carried like a startled princess into the house. He was soon settled down onto a chair and once again Nino was on his knees in front of him giving him another of those sweet smiles that caused his insides to resemble mush.
“Um…Jun-kun, can I pull your trouser leg up?” The smaller teen asked and wordlessly Jun nodded biting on his lip to stop himself doing something as unmanly as shouting out in pain as the almost tight fabric of his trousers was slid up his leg and over his knee. “You’re going to have a very colourful bruise, Jun-kun…We should put some ice on it…”
“It’s just a bump…I’ll be fine…” Jun answered biting on his lip while Nino’s cool fingers traced the red flesh enough to cause little ticklish sensations to run over his skin as he whispered;
“Please, let me put some ice on it…” Jun nodded his tongue sticking uncomfortably to the roof of his mouth as he looked down into the upturned face that was gazing up at him. Nino seemed to have pulled some of his Juliet courage out of somewhere deep inside and was flashing him the cutest puppy dog eyes imaginable as he continued to caress his knee. Nino smiled as he saw his nod and Jun very nearly let out a whine when the smaller teen had to move away from him “Good…”
“You seem to be in good hands, Jun, so Sho-chan and I are going to practice okay?” Aiba said cheerfully before dragging away Sakurai and leaving him alone with Nino who was gathering ice from the freezer to put into a professional looking cold compress.
“Sho-kun hurts himself a lot” Nino informed him softly when he caught him staring at the device as he came over to him again “It was easier to buy this than keep using tea-towels…Um…This may be a little cold…”
“You…” Jun hissed loudly as the cold compress was pressed to his knee jolting him in the chair and almost making him forget his thoughts for a moment “…Um you live with Sakurai, Nino?”
“Yes, his father and my mother were best friends…” Nino smiled taking out a chair for himself and sitting down in front of him his finger tracing a little pattern on the grain of the table and Jun swallowed. He had suspected that there was a reason that Nino had to live with his school friend, and he hadn’t imagined it was a good one, but to see the sadness in Nino’s eyes was something else and it took a lot of courage for him to whisper out;
“Were?”
“My mother and father passed away when I was younger…”
“I’m sorry…”
“You didn’t know…” Nino smiled though his eyes remained shadowed and Jun still felt horrible pangs of guilt for bringing it up “It was a long time ago…”
“Still…I’m sorry for bringing up painful memories…” Jun hummed reaching over and taking his hand “You must miss them…”
“I do, they…Were stage actors…I used to go to their rehearsals and plays all the time…So…When…I’m practicing…It feels like they are with me…” Nino spoke in a rush and then stopped biting hard on his lip as the blush came back to his cheeks and he hung his head “I suppose that that sounds silly…”
“It doesn’t sound silly at all…” Jun shook his head squeezing at his hand gently “I imagine that your parents would be proud of you…”
“I hope so! They met when they were in the school drama club! The first play they did together was Romeo and Juliet…” Nino told him his whole face lighting up with an even more wondrous expression than he had seen before. It was as if every cell was radiating with happiness and it warmed Jun’s heart to see it “I have a recording of that…Um…Would you like to see it one day?”
“Yes…Yes please…” Jun wasn’t sure why he was agreeing, he had always made it his policy before to never watch anything that could influence his portrayal of the characters he was about to say but he wanted to see Nino’s parents and their version, if only to make Nino happy, “I would love to see it…”
“I will try to find it for you for tomorrow…” Nino paused his cheeks flushing the warm pink as he started playing around with his t-shirt again “Um, I’m sorry for assuming…I you…You will be coming to rehearse again tomorrow?”
“Yes…If you don’t mind…Um…and I was wondering about that group…The Noh and Kabuki plays…”
“Oh we met on Wednesdays and Saturdays…I forgot to tell you! Ah I can give you a leaflet! Wait there…” Nino said getting to his feet and almost running out of the room leaving Jun to wonder exactly where he was going to go. His knee had gone numb with the cold from the ice pack which meant that he couldn’t feel the pain anymore but it also meant that he wouldn’t be going anywhere.
“Are you Jun-kun?” A soft feminine voice asked and Jun jumped turning around and finding himself presented with an older woman with a small bobbed haircut and a smiling face. Her eyes were curious but a little hard as they regarded him and Jun gave a small nod answering with a short;
“Yes…”
“I see…Kazu-kun has been talking about you almost non-stop since meeting you...” The woman, who Jun supposed was Sakurai’s mother, told him gently “So I’m pleased to finally meet you…”
“I…Um…I see…” Jun spluttered weakly not knowing how to answer that though he had to admit that it made him very happy to hear that Nino was talking about him it was also embarrassing. The woman gave him a smile about to say something else when Nino came back into the room excitedly holding the leaflet out.
“Here you go Jun-kun, I am sure that you will have lots of fun…Oh…Aunt…Have you met Jun-kun?”
“Yes…Your Romeo, ne? I think that he and his friend should be going now…It’s time for your medicine…”
