A/N; Warning some slightly emo Nino, sorry about that, I love Nino so it was really hard writing him like this. :-(, character ages changed, Ohno is about 8 or 9 years older, Aiba and Sakurai are about 6 years older than Matsumoto and Ninomiya.

Matsu smiled in his sleep, his hands trailing down the warm thing in his arms, surprised at how real the dream felt, he opened his eyes and was mildly surprised to find himself still on the settee, Nino sleeping against his chest. He grinned looking down at the sleeping face, he felt warmth flood in to his entire body as he remembered Nino's last words 'Make me trust again' Nino had pretty much challenged him to make him fall in love with him again. He stroked Nino's hair gently, his body almost trembling with excitement; he knew he wasn't going to lose this game. Nino had given him an undeserved second chance and there was no way he was going to waste it, he promised himself. Nino mumbled in his sleep nuzzling closer into his chest, his breath tickling at skin. Matsu closed his eyes trying, unsuccessfully, to stop the sensations that had started to run over his body, 'Crap' he grumbled, reluctantly moving from underneath him, he made Nino as comfortable as possible before going to the bathroom. He stepped under the shower letting the cool water wash over him, wondering how he was going to win back Nino's trust, he doubted it was going to be easy.

Nino woke; surprised to find himself alone on the settee, he was sure he'd fallen asleep on Matsu. He stared up at the ceiling, thinking over what had happened last night he let out a soft groan. He felt almost defeated, he had sworn he wasn’t going to give into Matsu but he'd pretty much told him 'Make me fall in love with you again'. He punched the settee trying to relive some of the nerves in his stomach, not knowing what was going to happen. He grabbed his DS, trying to escape into his digital world. It didn't work as well as it normally did, his stomach was churning too much for him to focus on the game, after he lost his third life, he threw it back down again looking at his watch he realized it was 5.30. With a sigh he thought through his day’s schedule, his heart thumping as he remembered he had a photo shoot with Matsu that morning before filming his last scene with Aiba. He couldn't believe he had forgotten the photo shoot, more so after all the energy he'd wasted trying to get out of doing it. Ohno had refused insisting the press would be good for him. He pushed himself off the settee going to make coffee, he could hear the shower going and ignored the feeling that rose up in his chest. He wanted to trust Matsu but he wasn't ready yet, but ever since Matsu had told him he was still in love with him his heart had been doing summersaults against his ribs. He flicked the coffee maker on thinking over his next move he had sorted things with Matsu but now there was his dad, he felt sick as he thought about what Matsu had said, why would his own father hate him so much? He asked himself, the coffee beeped just as Matsu came out of the bathroom, wrapped in only a towel. Nino couldn't stop himself from running his eyes over his body; it was almost breath taking, leaner than he remembered but, he could still place every mole that graced his skin "Um...Here..." He said handing him a coffee, finally tearing his gaze away.

“Thanks” Matsu smiled excepting it gratefully and coming to sit on the high stool, Nino bit his lips nervously not knowing what to say. The tension was almost worse than the first day. Their relationship was in a strange kind of limbo, they both knew they were more than friends but they weren’t lovers yet either. He stifled a groan, wondering why by talking things out they had only seemed to make things worse.  It didn’t make any sense, deciding he was hungry he started making scrambled eggs.

Matsu smiled to himself as he watched Nino cooking, he had noticed him staring at him and had decided not to get changed glad that he wasn’t the only one that was more ‘Aware’ of the other. He was thinking about going to see his dad after the photo shoot when Nino finally spoke up

“Jun, what are we going to do today?”

“What do you mean?” He frowned taking the plate offered while Nino went back to cook his own

“We have that photo shoot; won’t it be a bit strange if we’re suddenly talking?”

“I guess,” He shrugged, he hadn’t really thought about it but the staff might think it was slightly strange that Nino was no longer hissing at him like an angry cat. Ohno mostly, he had been their manager for almost five years, Matsu smiled wondering how the sleepy guy had put up with them for so long, he had only just been starting out when he had scouted them, “I think they might enjoy the change though.” He grinned and Nino let out a soft laugh, finishing the eggs he came to sit facing Matsu,

“I guess so” He mumbled keeping his eyes away from him, aware of just how close they were. Matsu resisted the urge to touch him and to ignore the warmth against his leg as he ate the eggs surprised at how good they were

“For someone who can’t cook...”

“Who can’t cook? Just because I don’t cook doesn’t mean I can’t” Nino pouted almost glaring at him again. Matsu laughed glad he’d gotten Nino to relax again.

Nino stifled a sigh, the whispers had started as soon they walked into the shoot together; it was to be expected, after all they had spent four years ripping at each other’s throats. But it seemed there was more to it than them just talking, but he couldn’t place what was being said.  As the moved into the “Fan girl” photo’s he was almost scared at how easy it felt, their arms came around each so easily. He was still terrified that it was all going to come crashing down on them again. The same problems were still there, even more so since Matsu’s popularity had exploded. If they were going to give this a chance they would have to all have one eye out for the press, and then there was his father, his mind kept coming back to that. He knew he had to go and talk it over, but he doubted if he was strong enough for that.

 Matsu frowned slightly seeing the flash of pain in Nino’s eyes, he grabbed his hand forget the watchful eyes of the staff, giving it a gentle squeeze, wanting to reassure him. Nino gave a small smile letting his body relax. The photographer was delighted with the photos. While the more observant staff noticed their hands were still linked after they were finished sending another wave of whispers around the room.

“What’s wrong?” Matsu asked as they climbed into the car that was going to take Nino them to the studio, He was surprised that Matsu had decided to come with him, wondering if the rumours were ever going to die down.

“I think I have to talk to my dad” He answered with a sigh, “I haven’t done that since he left my mum”

“Do you want me to come with you?” Matsu asked straight away, scared that Nino was going to be hurt again.

“I...” Nino wasn’t given the chance to answer as Ohno got into the car holding a gossip magazine in his hands tightly

“Can either of you explain this?” Ohno asked waving the glossy magazine in front of them; they both frowned and then gasped in unison as they saw the headline

“Matsumoto Jun and Ninomiya Kazunari living together, exclusive pictures”

“What?!” They stammered together both reaching for the paper, both their hearts racing against their rib cages, now the over abundance of whispers made sense.  

“Is this a double act?” Ohno mumbled watching them both read the paper “So is there any truth in this?”

They both stared at each other and then at Ohno not knowing what to say.
