As soon as Aiba had vanished Nino and Jun went back to their room and Nino lay on the younger guys legs as he allowed Jun to play on his game. He couldn’t help but remember the times when he would be in Jun’s room playing on the games during the times his step-father had drunk himself into a stupor. Those times had always ended badly, he would always stay away for too long and he would always be awake. His punishments had always quick and painful. He gave a whimper and Jun’s hand found his hair soothing him gently and Nino let out a soft sigh breaking the silence that had settled around them.

“I need the toilet” Jun said after a while and Nino sat up, his roommate looked at him shyly “Come with me?”

Nino didn’t need to be asked twice and they made their way to the toilet that was pretty far from the bedrooms, surprised when he saw Aiba leaning against a sank looking completely dazed and confused.

“Aiba-shi… Hey… Aiba-baka…” He said gripping his shoulders and Aiba jumped stuttering out

“Ni-Nino… What…” as his eyes flew open,

“Masaki… Is everything okay?” Nino asked seriously it was rare to see Aiba looking so troubled over something, nothing upset his friend and if it did it didn’t last long he rolled his eyes, unimpressed when Aiba pushed a fake smile onto his face “I’m not going to fall for that look Masa… Is there something wrong… With Kaita… Is he trying to get back at you because of earlier…”

“Wha-? No, Kaita hasn’t said anything since then…” he friend denied flatly and Nino could tell that he wasn’t lying. A knot of nerves settled into his stomach, if it wasn’t that what else could it be? He wondered, what else could make Aiba look so troubled and startled

“So why are you creeping around?” He mumbled, feeling like he was losing his friend, Aiba always told him everything, sometimes it had really bugged him and now he wanted that back “He wasn’t in the common room earlier when you vanished I was worried…”

“You were worried? Kazu are you feeling okay?” Aiba joked looking shocked and to his horror Nino found his cheek flushing and he had to look anywhere but at Jun, who was grinning a little, as he snapped

“I’m fine, and I’m not an idiot Aiba-chan, I know something is going on with you so you should just tell me…” he stared into Aiba’s face and his friend let out a sigh running his fingers through his hair

“I’m just worried…” He started slowly stopping as more boys came into the bathroom. Nino clicked his tongue glaring at them, wondering how they dared to interrupt them. He inched closer to Jun afraid that some was going to say something but nobody said anything. They left the bathroom quickly not wanting Jun to get into any more trouble on what was only his third day. They went back to their own room, changing into their pyjamas.

“So why are you worried?” Nino asked after they had brushed their teeth. Aiba looked flustered for a moment and then choked out,

“Nino-chan, am I gay?”

“What?” Nino mumbled back, wondering if Aiba was feeling okay, he had thought that given his huge crush on the teacher he was just was a certain as Jun was about his sexuality. “Why are you worrying about that?” He sighed scraping his hair away from his face and sitting next to Jun on his bed, he was glad that it wasn’t anything as bad as the thought that had been circling around in his head. He almost automatically rested his head on Jun’s shoulder “If you worry about it you’ll go bald… Gay, straight, bi… They’re just names for things that don’t matter… You’re Aiba Masaki, an idiot but my best friend … Whoever you sleep with won’t change that”

“Really? You mean that?” Aiba gasped and Nino was bothered by the surprise in Aiba’s voice. He found it hard to show any emotion other than ‘brat’ he found it easier that way, it was easier than to risk being hurt. He wasn’t surprised to see tears stinging in Aiba’s eyes.

“No, I just said that so you would feel better...” Nino said sarcastically, rolling his eyes, feeling that he had to stay calm before he choked up himself. “Of course I meant it”

“Aiba-san…I’m sorry that I told you that earlier…” Jun said in a broken whisper surprising them both

“Eh?!” Aiba shouted louder than was needed, he gave a small laugh stroking the younger guys arm

“It’s okay Jun, Ai-baka is just wrestling with his own sexuality because he’s got a crush on Sakurai-sensei” he told him.

“Sakurai-sensei is cute” Jun mumbled shyly, and Nino’s laugh stopped as he took a sharp intake of breath at that, he heart thumping against his ribs.

“I-is he your type then?” Aiba asked and Nino glared at him ‘Stupid Aiba who cares?’ He thought grumpily, trying not to work out why he was angry by it. A strange sensation was whirling around in his head and stomach

“… No…” Jun mumbled and Nino had to looking away as relief settled quickly into his heart only to have nerves build up again as Aiba came to sit on the bed and asked

“Have you ever had a boyfriend?”

“I had someone that I fancied a long time ago…” Jun answered in a dreamy kind of voice a smile on his face as if he was remembering something, “My parents used to run an apartment building, there was a boy that I used to like… I used to give him my chocolate from my bento and let him play on my games…”

Nino blush hotly looking away from them muttering “Don’t say things like that, Jun I swear…” he heard Aiba let out a giggle and a few minutes later the floor manager knocked on the door calling

“Lights out” and reluctantly Nino moved away from Jun and climbed up into his own bed as Aiba switched out the lights. His brain was still twisting with Jun’s roundabout ‘confession’ and as soon as Aiba got into his bed he asked

“Oh… You know my ‘patron’?”

“Yeah… What about her?” Aiba said in a hiss,

“She’s getting married and she wants me to go to the wedding… You two are also invited” Nino told them softly “They’re taking us shopping next week”

“Really? Cool!” Aiba said excitedly,

“Yeah… They want us to have suits” Nino said with a laugh, wondering what they would do with a suit after the big day, refusing to think about how cute Jun would look. He needed to talk to Jun but he couldn’t do it with Aiba there. “It’ll be nice getting out of here on our non-free day” he murmured out loud and Aiba agreed quickly.

They talked for a while more, Jun adding more to the conversation as it wore on, just as it was turning midnight Aiba finally fell to sleep and slowly Nino climbed down from the bed padding his way over to Jun, who looked up at him silently.

“Jun…” He whispered hating the way his voice was almost trembling, “Did you mean what you said earlier? About having a crush on me back then?”

“Yeah… Don’t worry about it… I promise I won’t let it…” Jun mumbled his cheeks flushing as if he was regretting saying it and Nino quickly out his hand on his lips to stop him before he said something stupid. “Ni-No?” Jun mumbled when he pulled away and Nino shrugged

“I… If its Jun I know that it’s okay” he said giving a smile, his mind and heart strangely in sync about it. Jun just continued to stare at him his fingers moving over his lips,

“Don’t mess about, Nino… You don’t have to do this just to make me feel better” he bit out after a while rolling over in the bed pulling the quilt over himself and Nino sighed sitting on the bed.

“I’m not…I wouldn’t do that just to cheer you up…Okay I haven’t got it all figured out but…” he mumbled putting a hand on his arm. “I don’t think I’m like that… but I know that I… I like Jun…”

“Why? Why do you like me?” Jun asked rolling back onto his back and looking up at him and Nino gulped, his tongue darting over his lips “I’ve only been in your life again for a few days…”

“And I know I wouldn’t let you leave it again…Jun…” Nino mumbled glad that it was dark so his face couldn’t be seen. He was also glad when Aiba let out a snore telling them that he was still asleep and the only person that could hear him was Jun. Jun who he owed his life too, he could deny his sexuality all he wanted but he couldn’t deny the feelings he had to Jun. Maybe he wouldn’t have felt it if Jun hadn’t saved his life all those years ago but he did feel it and he had to make sure that Jun knew that. “Jun… I really like…”

“Nino…” Jun whispered in a small groan, Nino knew that his timing completely sucked, Jun had just lost his parents he didn’t need him forcing his half-hearted feelings

“No… I’m sorry, my timing sucks” Nino sighed heavily “Move over…”he mumbled and Jun shifted in the bed to allow him room. He wrapped his arms around Jun and rested his head on his chest.

“Nino, just give me some time okay” Jun asked and Nino nodded in agreement closing his eyes. He wasn’t sure how he fell to sleep that night but what felt like too soon he was waking up to the sight of Jun sleeping peacefully next to him. Seeing that Aiba wasn’t in his bed his took a deep breath and kissed Jun’s lips gently. It was light and almost tickled like a butterfly landing on your skin, but a tremor ran through him stirring him up and was even more surprised when Jun started kissing him back.

The first bell sounded but they continued kissing only pulling apart when the door flew open to reveal Aiba who stared at them with a startled expression on his face.
