Bretby Hall part forty

“No…I just meant…”  Ohno spluttered knowing that he would have gone pale under his tan as he held up his hands. He hadn’t meant it in the way that it had been said. Akio was a good looking man, more so than any of his brother’s, he was well known for being the handsome one or the idol prince a title that Nino had also earned but that didn’t mean that he thought he was good looking. Nino continued to stare at him in silence though his eyes seemingly boring holes into his very soul and Ohno gulped choking down hard a nervous lump that had formed in the back of his mouth. His first instinct was to laugh it off but he got the impression from Nino’s expression that that probably wasn’t the wisest idea he could come up with and quickly he tried to explain himself “He…From a certain point of view…People might find him attractive…”

“…He’s old!” Nino pouted pulling a face and Ohno wondered if he should point out that his father was the youngest of the brothers who had caused a scandal by knocking up his girlfriend before they were even officially married. He didn’t think that it would help his case though and he sighed giving a shrug;

“I didn’t say that I fancied him…” He muttered not wanting Nino to decide to head back to school because of a stupid slip of the tongue “I just said that he is known for being attractive…Just like you…”

“Right…” Nino pouted with one lifted eyebrow his mouth twitching and Ohno swore under his breath playfully kicking out at him and thankfully missing by an inch when Nino drew his legs up away from him.

“You are such a brat…I honestly thought you believed that I fancied your dad…” He hissed and Nino let out a snort that turned into a light laugh that he had to quickly stifle by placing his hand over his mouth.

“…Sorry…But you did say he was good looking…”

“He is…But you’re better looking…” Ohno shrugged determined to get him back and lightly he leaned over the table and grinned playfully “Remember? I told you last night…You are the most beautiful person in the world Kazu…”

“Sh-Shut…Up…!” Nino growled the humour leaving his face as he blushed and looked nervously around like somebody would be able to hear and understand them. His hand went from his mouth to touch at his neck and Ohno smirked seeing his mark there on the creamy skin. A sense of satisfaction curled up inside of his chest when he saw that Nino hadn’t tried to hide it even if it was making him a little uncomfortable. He was about to comment on the mark when another shadow fell over their table. For a split second he was sure that it was going to be the girl again wanting a picture with Nino but when he looked up he found himself looking into the face of a smartly dressed women who was holding up a notepad and a pen.

>Have you decided, sirs?< She asked in overly careful English which he figured she must of thought of as being polite but in fact it made her sound like she was talking to a baby. He smiled though and cocked his head at Nino who was still a beautiful reddish pink colour and staring at the table cloth like it was his long lost best friend. 

>Kazu what do you want to eat?<

>Coffee…And whatever you’re having…< Nino mumbled not looking up from the pretty table cloth and Ohno smiled tapping his leg with his foot ordering a pot of coffee and the ‘Light’ breakfast. He wasn’t sure what it was but he doubted that Nino would eat anything heavy this early in the morning even if his stomach was growling like an angry bear.

>Thank-you…< He smiled to the woman who smiled back and left taking the menu with her. “Kazu…Are you still embarrassed about last night?”

“No…Not embarrassed…” Nino grumbled looking thoroughly embarrassed and Ohno chuckled hooking his legs around Nino’s and holding it tightly. Before Nino had come into his life he had never considered himself to be a touchy feely kind of person. He enjoyed sex but he didn’t like cuddling and he definitely wasn’t one for public displays of affection. It wasn’t like he suddenly had the urge to make out with Nino in the dining room where everyone could see them but he did seem to want to touch him and reassure himself that he was actually there and not part of some overly elaborate fantasy that he had created for himself.

“Yes you are…Sorry…”

“I’m not!” Nino whined pouting even more as he managed to pull his eyes away from the pink rose that he had been studying “You…You’re just being overly corny!”

“Can’t help it…I’m happy…A weird bubbly kind of happy…” Ohno admitted the bubbles of happiness building up inside of his stomach. “…This is all new to me too you know…I’ve never felt this way…”

“You…You…I…I keep wanting to touch you…” Nino whispered that burn back in his cheeks again but this time he was looking straight at him. “And…I can’t stop thinking about last night…”

“Neither can I…I told you…Last night was special…”

“But it’s embarrassing…” Nino sighed dramatically only resisting a pout when the waitress reappeared with their order. The light breakfast it seemed meant all bran cereal, covered with fresh fruit, with a splash of milk, a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, two slices of toast, a tiny blueberry muffin, and then finally a plain yoghurt to finish. It seemed that the definition of light was lapse but Nino didn’t complain though that might have been because he was more focused on pouring himself a black coffee and heaping it with sugar. Ohno watched him for a minute with a smile and then set to work on his own breakfast aware that a lion was working its way up to growling and he didn’t want Nino to tease him as much as he had been doing.

“You wanna go back to the room?” Ohno asked after they had finished their breakfast and Nino had drank his third cup of coffee for the day. It didn’t seem possible that anybody could drink so much coffee and be healthy for it but Nino seemed satisfied though and was looking a lot calmer than he had done earlier. Ohno wasn’t sure why he had been so worked up, he thought that it was natural for some people to recognise his lover or both of them. The press conference might have seemed very small but he knew that it had made big waves. They had been shielded from most of it at the school and neither of them were that fond of googling themselves but he was sure that it was causing a fuss somewhere in the word and very definitely in the palace. It was almost the summer holidays though and soon they would be returning home and he knew that that was going to be a nightmare.

“…Let’s go for a walk…In the garden…Just for a bit…” Nino suggested nervously like he was expecting him to refuse and throw him over his shoulder to carry him upstairs. He did sort of want to do that, wanting to spend as much time as he could exploring Nino’s body before they had to go back to school but he wanted to make him happy and after the light breakfast he really didn’t feel up to too vigorous activities.

“Okay...” he agreed laughing at the relieved look that came over Nino’s face “Did you think I was going to keep you locked in the bedroom all weekend?”

“…Something like that did cross my mind…” Nino laughed as they got up from the table back to his playful self again “You are a pervert after all…”

“Only for you my little beautiful prince…”  Ohno chuckled his arm slipping around Nino’s waist again walking him to the French doors that were open and showing the garden and to his immense delight a maze…Okay so he might not want to lock Nino in the bedroom all weekend but he was definitely going to be kissing him in the maze.

A/N: Urgh…This chapter seems so slow after the others…Sorry…And Nino was a bit up and down with his emotions…I hope that this was okay ^_^
