Nino froze in his arms at the cough, fear filling his eyes again and Ohno smiled reassuringly before giving him three more pecks on his lips murmuring for him to relax before gently pushing him off his lap and getting to his own feet. He turned to the door and sure enough his parents were standing in the oak doorframe.
"Ah, Mother, father I would like you to meet my boyfriend..." Ohno said as brightly as he could force himself as he rested his hand on the small of the teenagers back and guiding them towards the older couple and he noticed that they schooled their faces into perfect expressionless masks. "Kazunari...Nishimura Kazunari, Nino this is my parents, my mother Tsuchie Yoshie and my father Tsuchie Kunio..." Ohno muttered making sure to introduce Nino first to show that he was the most important to him. He glared at the two people in front of him. He had seen them sometimes in newspapers and the silly social pages in those things he thought that they hadn't changed but looking at the close up he could see that they had aged. His father’s face was a map of lines, his hair a dusty grey and his hands wizened like two old prunes left out to dry. His eyes though were as harsh as ever, even though they too had aged with time. His mums face had changed in a similar way but copious amounts of hair dye and caked on make-up were doing a minor miracle and keeping her looking ten years younger than his father. Or at least that was what it was meant to do what it actually did was make her look like she was wearing a Halloween mask.
“N-Nice to meet you…” Nino said dipping his head in hurry continuing to cling to the teacher’s hand, though he had to admit that it wasn’t really much of a comfort, Ohno wasn’t acting like himself, there was harshness to his face that he had never seen before and Ohno’s eyes were so narrowed he was surprised that he could see through his lashes. Yoshie and Kunio regarded him with a coolness that would make even his own parents quiver.
“Nishimura…Who are your parents?” Yoshie asked with a thoughtfully hum at his name not even bothering to return the loosely given greeting.
“Um…I…” Nino said looking completely lost at what to say and Ohno tensed even further. Yoshie looked like she wanted to roll her eyes but her upbringing refused to allow her but she did half click her tongue against her teeth and snapped
“What do they do?”
“…I…Live with just my mum…” Nino lied after flicking his eyes to Ohno and the Tsuchie’s. “She’s a homemaker…”
“A homemaker? Isn’t that just another term for unemployed?” Kunio’s grey eyebrow rose up his wrinkled face and Ohno rolled his own eyes. “And what happened to your father?”
“He…Um…” Nino floundered and even Ohno wasn’t sure what to do, he had been expecting them to keep a cold distance but instead they were attacking Nino like that had done most of Satomi’s dates when they were teenagers
“You don’t even know what happened to your father?” Was the cold question from Kunio and Nino’s eyes were fixed on the carpet again.
“You haven’t even greeted me and already you’re trying to dissect my choice of partner?” He asked gripping Nino’s hand, he found it laughable that they had some kind of idea that his Nino was some kind of gold digger. At the moment, even though he was just the Ninomiya heir, Nino was the wealthiest person in the whole house and before today the teenager hadn’t even known about his own unfortunate relations. He hated being back here and the way that it made him act, it had taken him almost 7 years to become Ohno Satoshi penniless art teacher, and in less than one hour he was back to being the stupid Tsuchie heir. “I would be flattered that you’re showing such ‘concern’ but as I’m no longer a part of your family I don’t…I’m here for one reason and one reason only, Tomi asked me to stay and give you another chance...” his voice came out as a half growl and if he was surprised by the venom in it that would be nothing to what Nino would be feeling.
“Satoshi…” Nino said softly his hand covering his own and Ohno glanced down blinking at the stubby fingers and chewed nails and somehow he managed to pull himself out of his mood and pressed a kiss to his forehead and then his nose refusing to care if his parents gave him a glassy stare or even a glare.
“Come on Nino” He said tugging the boy passed his parents and out into the hall. Satomi was resting against the banister, chewing her lip her fingers clutched over her stomach.
“Sato…” She said but Ohno shook his head and continued to walk quickly only turning to face her when they reached the stairs
“We’re going for a walk…” he called to her and watched her give him a short nod.
He pulled his boy down both sets of stairs and then through the door and out into the garden. Nino didn’t say anything until they were back out onto the crunchy gravel path and then he made a small clicking noise before coughing
“Satoshi...Um…Where are we going?” He asked when they had broken into a semi-run over the grass that was white and nearly as crunchy as the path.
“I’m taking you to the summer house…If it’s still there, I haven’t been back here in years…And I guess that for some reason, when I’m with my parents, I revert back to being a child…I’m sorry Nino…” He sighed softly, stopping in his march and pulling him into a hug his head resting on his shoulder cold nose and lips pressing into his neck.
“I don’t mind…” Nino said but Ohno shook his head breaking the hug and looking at his lover again.
“No, I wanted this to be a real Christmas for you…And I promise after tomorrow it will be…” He promised and he was rewarded by a glowing smile that stretched out over his face. Ohno gave him another kiss before walking a little more slowly over the grass to a small wooden building. It looked like a large, well-kept, shed but also like an oversized play house with a patio and large glass windows and a proper sized door. Ohno tested the door handle and he was only half surprised that it was locked. Taking a chance he kicked up the loose floor board that was beside the door and after looking around for a while in the dark, shallow hole he pulled out a shiny brass key and unlocked the door.
The summer house smelt strongly of dust and stale art cleaning products and he was half convinced that nobody had been in here since the day he had left. He flicked on the light and gave another sigh but this time it was a happy one as he looked around the small, dusty room that he had spent most of his childhood in. It looked pretty much like his room in Lotus Lodge filled with paper and pots of paint. Everything was covered in an inch of dust he was more convinced than ever that nobody had been here since he had left. That surprised him he would have thought that his parents would have changed it the moment he left into a guest one at the very least he was convinced that they would have dumped his stuff when he had to get rid of his name.
“This is better, this feels more like Satoshi” Nino said enthusiastically breaking away from the teacher and going to disturb a few spiders and some dust as he pulled some of the canvases and papers from the far end bench table and Ohno laughed walking over to him and wrapping his arms around him his chin resting on his shoulder. He almost groaned when he saw what it was that Nino was looking at. Half nude men, black and white ones that he had drawn from memory from P.E with the focus mostly being curved buttocks or the faint hint of a pubic line hidden by towels. “These pictures are interesting Satoshi…” Nino whispered his cheeks flushing hotly as he dropped the pictures to settle in the dust again and Ohno was amazed by the beauty his naivety and innocence caused. He wanted to say a million and one things to him just to see what reactions would play out on his face so that he could capture them and store them away like a dragon guarding its treasure just so that nobody else would ever be able to see them. The boy may have just started out as a mystery but now it was something else completely. Satomi had said that he cared about him maybe that answer would do for now.
