“Oh-chan?” Nino whispered softly to his brother-in-law as he changed into a clean pair of jeans his heart skipping over his ribs like a skimming stone as his mind tried to process what was going on. He had been convinced that Jun had been flirting with him for the last two days but he had just put it down to wishful thinking on his part. He had pushed aside all hope for a romantic relationship a long time ago knowing that nobody would want the blind guy even if people did say he was attractive. His world was one of permanent darkness and there were few people he felt that he could trust to be his friend and even fewer that he thought he could have a relationship with. When he was in high school he had been kissed once by a girl, a girl who had been dared to kiss him by the rest of the class. He hadn’t particularly enjoyed the kiss but he had enjoyed the laughter that followed even less. Ohno touched his arm pulling him out of his thoughts with a gentle;
“Yeah?”
“What does…Um Jun look like?” He asked trying not to sound too bothered by the answer but he was curious. He had heard whispered conversations about the other teen’s looks and if they were accurate then there would be no chance that Jun was interested in him for anything more than friendship or maybe even curiosity. He had…Felt Jun’s eyes on him every college day since it had started and he wasn’t surprised. There was always a student or two that were curious in the blind kid, the last time it had happened was about a week after the kiss incident in school when a new student had started. He had followed him around like a lost puppy forever trying to talk his ear off until eventually Nino had given in and now he was his best and only friend. He wasn’t sure if Jun was going to be like that, his interest had felt stranger, more like he was a creature to be studied under a microscope and Nino had tried to ignore it, in fact his rational brain was still telling him to ignore it and get out while he still could but Jun pleas had worn him down and he didn’t seem to mind his sister either, even though Hoshi seemed more determined than ever to push him away.
“Hmm…I suppose people would think he was attractive” Ohno answered with a chuckle that caused Nino’s cheeks to flare a brilliant red even though he tried to not let it bother him. Ohno was the first person he had trusted after the attack that had left him blind. Not even his sister had been able to get through to him then when he had been convinced that his life was over. Up until that point he had wanted to be a professional baseball player but now that had gone, he couldn’t even dream about it anymore as even they had been plunged into the darkness. Ohno had brought him out of that, had given him hope again and although he had often hated him as he had tried to teach him braille and walking with his stick he would never forget that it was Ohno that had sat beside his bed carefully telling him exactly what was in the room so he could try and map it out in his head, Ohno who had brought him his first Daredevil comic that had made him cry for the first time since waking up blind. They hadn’t technically been tears of sadness for what he had lost but frustration and anger that he wasn’t able to do what Matt Murdock could do until Ohno had pointed out that he could. He could be a lawyer if he wanted to be and nobody would be able to stop him. “His face is thin like yours…He’s eyes are darker than yours and his nose is pointier…His teeth look like they’ve had some work…The same with his eyebrows…”
“His eyebrows?” Nino questioned with a frown as he tried to piece together the image wishing he had the courage to ask to touch Jun’s face. It wasn’t perfect, but it was easier for him to picture faces if he was allowed to touch them but he doubted that Jun would welcome that kind of thing even if they were friends.
“…Yeah…It looks like he plucks them...” Ohno told him as he guided him gently to the bed so they could sit down and Nino gave a nod trying not to sound too eager as he prompted him with a soft;
“Oh…Go on?”
“There’s a mole on his lower lip and another one against his eyebrow on his left side I think…And there is another mole on his eyelid…His lips seem a bit pouty and twist to one side when he talks I’m guess that’s from the teeth but I’m not sure…”
“His hair?”
“Longer that yours, it feathers softly around his face and seems to have been purposely curled and then left to hang flat…” Ohno hummed and Nino frowned again trying desperately to form a picture in his mind. Even in his daydreams things were dark but as always Ohno gave him the best descriptions. “His clothes are stylish…Jeans with a sparkly belt and a tank top under a tight shirt that’s opened almost the whole way down to show off some of his chest but mostly I think that it’s to show off the charms and pendants that are around his neck…He has three but I can’t really see what they are as long as two rings one on each hand…”
“He sounds…fake…”
“He’s very real…Like a prince from a fairy story…” Ohno chuckled nudging at his arm so much that it sent him rocking over the bed “The best part about it though is he looks at you like a thirsty man would look at a glass of water…”
“What? Why? Why would he…?” Nino gulped his eyes blowing wide as his heart went into overdrive pounding painfully against his ribs as his ears burned in embarrassment his denial forming on his lips but Ohno got in first with a very determined;
“Because, my sweet little brother, you are a very cute person and I think he might be falling in love with you…”
“No…He’s just thinking of me of a lab rat…He can’t be interested…Not seriously…”
“Hey, I think that Jun-kun should be allowed to make his own mind up about that…You have no sense when it comes to that…” Ohno sighed and Nino winced as a finger was flicking at his nose “You have the stupid idea that you’re worthless…Something that your sister hasn’t helped…”
“Nee-chan does everything for me…She takes care of me…” Nino said quickly rushing to defend his sister though he had to admit that half of his nerves were due to her over protection. The only reason he had been allowed to go to college at all was because Ohno had insisted that he be allowed to at least try and do it. Ohno gave a small growl, a sound that he would never show anywhere else as his arm came up to rest around his shoulders as he said;
“She baby’s you…And you’re tired of it, aren’t you?”
“…I…Guess…A little…”
“See…You’re in college now, you should be allowed to have some fun and take some chances…You never know…” Ohno laughed hugging him a little before saying “At least give him a chance you may never know…”

A/N: Ohno offering advice J I hope that this is okay…Next part will skip a head a couple of months J
