Summary: Jun’s life seems perfect. He has a great job, amazing friends and he enjoys every part of his days, till he meets a stranger at a friend’s party. With this day his life starts spinning upside down and he isn’t sure anymore if his life is really that perfect…
Jun saw his friends chatting with each other, two guys he had never seen before stood right beside them. One of them must have been Kamenashi, the artist friend of Nino, but he had no idea about the other one.
“What are you thinking about?” The man wanted to know.
Jun turned to look at him. “I was just thinking about the two men next to my friends. I don’t know them.”
“Do you want to join them?” The man asked.
Jun tilted his head. He didn’t know what to say. He enjoyed the talk with this stranger, but he also wanted to spend some time with his friends.
“You can go if you want. I don’t force you to spend your evening with me, someone you don’t even know.”
Something in Jun twitched. He was stubborn, he had always been, and when someone tried to push him into a direction he often did the opposite thing. “No, it’s okay. I’ll stay here to talk with you.”
The man’s lips curled into a smile. “I am happy about that, I just don’t want you to feel bad when this evening is over and you haven’t spent one single moment with your friends. Especially because you said that you haven’t seen each other often during the last weeks.”
“Really, it’s…,” Jun started, but the stranger raised his hand.
“No, please, go to your friends, and we’ll see each other later tonight,” the man smiled at him.
“Are you sure, Glenn?” Jun smiled.
“Yes, till later,” the man said before he stood up and left towards the kitchen.
Jun rubbed his face. This whole evening had started in a strange way and totally not like Jun was used to. He had never experienced something like that before. Jun took his bottle and walked up to the others on the balcony.
“Oh, Jun-tan, you finally join us?” his brother chirped.
Jun had to smile. It was rare to see Aiba tipsy. Jun took Aiba’s glass and smelled it. “Vodka?”
Aiba giggled happily. “Yeah, tastes totally amazing.”
Jun rolled his eyes. He already knew how this would end. He would carry Aiba back home and wait till Aiba had thrown up everything and fell asleep on the bed. “You should stop drinking.”
Ohno and Nino laughed, while Aiba just grumbled something.
“Jun the mommy is back,” Nino said.
“It’s not you who needs to take care of a big baby with hangover afterwards.” Jun pointed at Aiba, who just pouted at him.
“That’s true,” Ohno agreed.
“This is my ‘I know it all’ brother,” Aiba pointed at Jun while he stared at a guy next to him.
The man laughed and bowed a bit. “I am Ryo, a friend of Erika.”
Jun smiled. “Nice to meet you.” He turned to look at the second man he didn’t know. “And you have to be Kamenashi-kun? The artist?”
The guy nodded. “Yes, that’s right.”
“I am Jun,” Jun added.
~~~
Aiba could feel hot waves rushing through his body. It had been a long time since he last had drunk something. Everything around him started spinning. Aiba grasped for Jun’s arm when he felt everything turning upside down.
“I really don’t want to watch over you the whole night, Masaki,” Jun whispered. “So stop drinking now.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Aiba answered.
“You really should listen to your brother. Your eyes are already getting red, so I guess some more drinks and you won’t remember that evening tomorrow,” Ryo laughed.
Aiba placed the glass on the table with a last “killjoy”, but in the end he had to join the other’s laughter.
“So, do you already have a date for your marriage?” Jun wanted to know.
Aiba looked at Nino and Erika, who stepped next to her future husband. Both looked so happy, especially Nino looked relieved.
“Yes, it will be in four months, on the 4th of September,” Nino answered.
Aiba smiled at them. He wished he could feel a similar happiness Nino must have felt in this moment, but when he listened deep inside himself, he felt nothing. He wasn’t sad or depressive, but he wasn’t happy and all bouncy either.
~~~
Jun could feel Aiba’s hand around his arm. It was like it had been so often before. Aiba drank a little too much and Jun had to take care of him. Of course he was a little bit upset because of it. He didn’t want to be the one who took care of the others, but in the end it felt good right now. His talk with this stranger stirred something in him. He and his friends hadn’t been that close during the last months, and maybe exactly these moments could change it again. It was like it used to, like it had always been was when they had a party back then.
“Wow, just four months,” Ohno said. “I need to start looking for a present, now.”
The others laughed. “Hey, don’t make fun of me, you know me. I am always the ‘last minute man’, but this time, this time, it’ll be different, you’ll see it.” Ohno pointed from one to the other, which made his friends laugh even louder.
“I think I already have a present,” Jun said while looking at the couch in the living room.
“If you are going to donate us a couch, I would love you forever,” Erika whispered to Jun.
“Hey, our couch is perfect,” Nino whined.
“Sure, sure, it’s almost perfect,” Erika smiled. “Please Jun, think about it,” she added.
Jun had to grin because of it. Erika wasn’t that much into second-hand furniture like Nino was, Jun had already guessed that. She was a woman with a great sense for styling after all. He’d think about a great new couch for them. Maybe he’d go buy it together with Aiba and Ohno, if they found time to go shopping together.
“You really are mean,” Nino said with a grin.
Jun had the feeling that nothing could bother Nino right at the moment. He was just happy and content with his life.
“Did you meet a friend, Jun?” Ohno asked out of the blue.
“No, why?” Jun wanted to know.
“Because you didn’t join us from the beginning here,” Ohno explained.
“No, I met one of Nino’s colleagues and talked a little bit with him.”
Nino looked at him. “A colleague?”
“Yes, the one with the black hair and those mysterious, mesmerizing eyes,” Jun said.
Jun tilted his head when he saw Nino looking at him curiously. “What?”
“Ah, there is no colleague of mine looking like this,” Nino said.
Jun could feel a cold shiver running down his spine. He looked inside the apartment, but he couldn’t see the man anywhere.
“What was his name?” Ohno wanted to know.
“Ah,” Jun started. He stroked his head. “That’s the point. I don’t know it.”
“But you talked with him?” Aiba asked.
“Ah, yes. But we decided not tell each other our names.” Jun knew that this sounded weird and totally strange and when he saw his friends’ faces he knew that it really sounded odd.
“You didn’t say your names?” Aiba asked.
“No.”
Jun could feel Aiba’s sight resting on him. “And why did you do this?”
“Because it sounded funny,” Jun explained.
“Let’s have a look if he’s still here,” Aiba suggested.
Jun nodded. Aiba pulled Jun’s arm and dragged him into the apartment.
~~~
“And he really is no colleague of yours?” Ohno asked when Jun and Aiba were away.
Nino shook his head. “No, there are only three of my colleagues here today.” Nino started. He pointed through the window at one man standing next to the couch. “This one, but he isn’t dark-haired and I don’t think he’s Jun’s type.”
Ohno looked at the man. He was small and thin and there was something harsh in his gaze. No, this was definitely not Jun’s type.
“This one,” Nino continued and pointed at someone close to the kitchen. “He is blond and not dark haired.”
And he would have never been Jun’s type, Ohno thought.
“And that one,” Nino pointed at a girl. “She is dark haired, but she is not a man.”
“Yes, you are right. They aren’t the ones Jun was talking about.” Ohno said. “Do we need to worry that Jun is going crazy?”
“There are many people here, so don’t worry, Aiba and Jun will solve the riddle about this mysterious man,” Nino laughed.
~~~
Jun looked around the room. The man couldn’t have disappeared without saying something and after all he had told Jun that they’d meet later on.
“Was it him?” Aiba asked, pointing at a man in a suit who was leaning against the doorframe, chatting with some other people around him.
Jun looked at his brother, like he was doing something mean to him. “Are you serious?” Jun whispered.
He could see Aiba looking at this man again before he giggled tipsily. “Sorry. I just looked at the black hair. I didn’t see the rest.”
Jun rolled his eyes. “Come on, let’s look on the other balcony.”
Right on their way there someone called Jun’s name. He turned to see whom the voice belonged to, but he had never seen this man before. “Sorry, do we know each other?”
The man smiled at him. “No. Sorry. I got a message for you and the man said I should give it to you.”
Jun took the paper from the other and thanked him before he walked up to the balcony where no one was right at the moment.
“Open it, I am curious what’s written in there,” Aiba said.
Jun sat down on the small bench to his right, unfolded it and started reading.
Dear Harry,
Thanks for this wonderful talk earlier. Unfortunately, I have to leave earlier than expected. I wish you all the best and think about taking more time for the important things in life, like your brother and the friends you have.
Yours, Glenn.
Jun felt something in him twitching and pulling. “What a bad idea not to tell our real names,” he grumbled.
“Harry?” Aiba laughed. “Really Jun?”
Jun smacked Aiba’s head playfully. “Dumbass,” he said.
Jun could feel Aiba pushing him to the side so he could sit next to him. “What are you planning to doing now?”
“I have no idea. Maybe it was the perfect one-evening date,” Jun sighed. He could feel the urgent need to drink something cold and strong. “And I need a whiskey,” he added.
“The whiskey is no problem, but to find this guy will probably be a problem,” Aiba said.
Jun could feel his brother’s eyes resting on him, and he didn’t like it. He didn’t want to explain something or to tell him about his feelings. In the end he himself didn’t even know what had happened. He had never been the type for falling for someone at first sight, but this was strange. It had just hit him. And he knew that Aiba would maybe laugh about it, even though he didn’t want to hurt Jun. Jun just didn’t want to be treated as the younger brother who needed to be taken care of right now.
“Just leave it, Masaki. It’s okay. I’ll have a few drinks myself and everything will be alright again.” Jun stood up to walk into the apartment.
This talk stirred something in him up. When had he stopped feeling good when Aiba pampered him? Even though they were grown up, Jun liked it when his brother came to take care of him, to cook for him or to just listen to him. Now he didn’t want anyone to interfere with his life.
“Did you find him?” It was Nino’s voice asking Jun.
“No, but he left a note. I think he went home already,” Jun answered.
Nino sighed. “Listen, I asked some of my friends, but no one seems to know him. It’s a little strange.”
Jun had already guessed something like that, so he wasn’t surprised. “I just need a strong drink.”
Nino chuckled. “That’s the easiest thing to do tonight.”

Date: 2016-04-24 06:36 pm (UTC)I wonder what happened between Jun and Aiba. I'm sure there is something between them... Maybe they haven't realized it yet or they know, but don't talk about it? Of course it could also be because Jun feels he is too old to share his problems with his older brother... but still, I think something happened.
Nino is so cute <3
Sho just disappeared. Ugh. Poor Jun. He already fell in love it seems...
Thanks so much for this update! Can't wait to know how it continues! <3

Date: 2016-05-01 02:12 pm (UTC)Yes, you are right, there is something between the brothers, but it will be revealed soon ^^ Maybe...:D
Thanks so much for reading and commenting (even though you are forced to comment :P) <3 <3

Date: 2016-04-24 10:51 pm (UTC)That was a bit unfair of Sho to ditch Jun like that. Perhaps he is enjoying his role of mysterious stranger a little too much?
The next part sure looks like it will be interesting.

Date: 2016-05-01 02:14 pm (UTC)Yes, Sho is a little unfair, but let's see why he is like that and what's behind all his actions.
Thanks for reading and commenting my dear <3 <3
Now I jump to your Sakumoto and two requests from the smut meme :D
