Title: Scattered Flowers
A/N: Aiba and Nino are older than the others in this. Teacher/student relationships,

Sakurai looked at the nurse’s answer and then his hair in the reflection, he actually liked the blonde look but if Aiba said that he didn’t mind changing it. He was tempted to skip out on the next lesson but since it was Nino’s he didn’t feel like pushing his luck and decided to miss out on the last lesson instead.

He didn’t see Aiba or Chika again that day and as soon as Nino’s lesson had finished he darted out of the school and to the nearest chemist to buy some hair dye and then went home. He had been living with Nino for almost two years and he thought that it really was one of the best things that could have happened to him.

Nothing in the house had changed much in those two years, though there were slightly more photos of Ohno, his wife and two kids. Sakurai had met him once at first he decided the only thing they had in common was they were about the same height. After spending time with him though he realised that Ohno also had Nino’s bratty teasing nature though his was hidden by a calm mask.

Sakurai took his hair dye and went into the bathroom, it was hard to do by himself but after a while he became more confident at putting the dye on and soon he was finished. He even brushed it into a straight style around his face and he had to admit he looked friendlier. He wasn’t aware of how long he had been in the bathroom but he heard the front door open and footsteps on the stairs

“Sho-kun, are you here?” Nino shouted

“Yeah…” He said taking one last look at himself before leaving the bathroom

“You dyed your hair?” Nino said with an ill-disguised smirk as he came out and him and Matsu on the landing. Matsu raised one of his eyebrows but said nothing and very slowly Sakurai ran a hand through his still damp hair “I guess Aiba-sensei likes black hair?”

“I just thought I needed a change…”Sakurai muttered his cheeks flushing “Is that a problem?”

“Nope… As long as you didn’t stain my bathroom sink… Come on princess” Nino said tugging Matsu into his bedroom. Just before the door closed Sakurai saw his friend push the teacher down onto the bed and straddle him their lips coming together automatically.

He wasn’t jealous of their relationship or whatever it was that they had together, in fact he wished them all the happiness in the world they both deserved it. Nino had helped them all out at some point in the last two years but Sakurai suspected that they only one that had started returning the favour was Matsu.

Soft moans started floating through the door and with a small faint blush Sakurai hurried away not wanting to listen to them. Not that it would be the first time if he did, Nino was very demanding and the walls were thin. Going down the stairs he caught his reflection in the mirror and was startled, he’d had bleached hair for so long it was going to take some getting used to.

The moans upstairs were getting louder and soon the sound of the bed scraping on the floor and he decided that it was time to go out for a bit. Most of the time he loved living here with Nino but when Matsu stayed over he wished he had ear plugs. Nino just teased him that it was because he wasn’t getting any and Sakurai couldn’t deny it.

Two years ago when he had first been treated by Aiba in the hospital he had fallen hook, line and sinker for him. Of course he hadn’t in a million years dreamt that he would actually see the nurse again but something had happened and although he did fulfil his needs the guys he’d slept with had looked like the nurse in some small way.

He was amazed that he had been given the chance to see Aiba again and he knew that he wasn’t going to let him go again. He’d been a bit worried when he saw that he had a daughter but Nino had reassured him that Aiba was completely gay. He was surprised at the support he was getting from the teacher, even if it was subtle.

Before he realised it his feet had taken into the middle of town, he really had no idea what he was going to do while Nino and Matsu fucked each other brains out. He could have called up some of the other members of the gang but he really wasn’t ready to answer questions about his new hair style.

He wondered aimlessly for a while, it was strange how differently people treated him without his bleached hair, normally people would walk in a wide arch to avoid him but now it was different. When he reached the central plaza he stopped leaning against the railings and looked at the shops.

He caught his reflection and was once again surprised at the difference in his appearance. It was going to be obvious to Aiba that he had dyed it because of what he said and that could be taking two ways, either the nurse would be pleased that he a valued is opinion or he would think he was really pathetic. A tight knot of nerves built up in his chest as he suddenly thought that it was going to be the second one.

He really wasn’t the type to go all out with how he felt but earlier Nino and Matsu had both promoted him to just lay his cards on the table. He was happy that he had clicked with Chika and he suspected that making her smile and like him had earned him some favour with the nurse. He guessed he should feel bad about using the girl to win over her father but he knew that the ends would justify the means so he decided to roll with it

“Sakurai-kun?” Sakurai blinked as he heard a familiar breathy voice talking to him and when he turned he was amazed to see Aiba and Chika standing beside him. “It is you!” Aiba said a huge grin forming on his face as he waved at him enthusiastically, even though they were standing so close.

“Sensei and princess Chika…” Sakurai said with a smile almost unable to pull his eyes away from Aiba to look at the little girl who was bouncing up and down at her father’s side.

“Sho-nii! You changed your hair!” Chika said and Sakurai automatically ran his hand over it, looking at the nurse nervously. Aiba looked up at his hair and then smiled

“You look really nice” He said and Sakurai felt his heart skip a few beats and he almost missed it when Aiba started talking again “Um… Do you want to join us? Chika wants ice cream and since she ate all her dinner I agreed”

“I um…”He wanted to shout ‘yes’ at the top of his lungs but he also didn’t want the nurse to think he was stalking him since it really was just a coincidence that they had met here.

“Yay, Sho-nii’s coming…” Chika said and without waiting for him to answer she grabbed Sakurai’s hand with her free one swinging it lightly and Aiba gave a breathy laugh and they headed towards the ice cream shop with Chika swinging in between them. Sakurai felt almost proud like they were a regular family as they took their seats in one of the tables.

“What flavour would you like?” Aiba asked

“I um…”

“Chika has chocolate and Papa has banana… And then we mix them!” Chika was saying and Aiba grabbed the menu before it fell of the table

“Then… Vanilla?”

“Vanilla is so basic, ne Chika?” Aiba said and the girl nodded enthusiastically “I know we’ll all have vanilla, chocolate and banana ne…”

Sakurai was about to stop him but Aiba walked away quickly to order the ice creams leaving Sakurai with the little girl, he noticed that she was still making the flowers he had made her when the nurse came back he was carrying a tray with three huge bowls of ice cream.

“Wow!” Chika said happily and Sakurai had to agree they were huge not that Aiba seemed to care almost as soon as he sat down he started eating as did Chika. Sakurai slowly picked up his spoon tasting the ice cream, it wasn’t the first time he had tasted ice cream but it was the first time it tasted so good.

When he had lived with his parents they had never done anything like this. He thought that Chika would leave at least half of the ice cream mountain but soon he heard her scrapping her bowl for the last drops. Aiba also finished and in what seemed a well-practiced routine, both father and daughter rested back against the chair patting their stomachs and letting out happy sighs.

While Sakurai was still eating his ice cream he heard a rustling and then a napkin was slid across the table and looking at it he saw

>I really like your hair, Sho-chan… So what type of guys does Sho-chan like?<

>You… Aiba-sensei is perfect…< wrote back instantly and Aiba read it giving a tiny giggle that caused his face to go red. He really is cute, Sakurai thought as his heart skipped against his ribs

>Not true… But… Thank-you… Chika is spending the day with her grandma tomorrow and I’ll be lonely… Do you want to spend the day together?<

Sakurai grabbed the pen and wrote back quickly >YES<
