Title: My word is my bond
Pairing: Aiba Masaki/ Matsumoto Jun; Ninomiya Kazunari/ Sakurai Sho
Rating: up to NC-17, but PG-13 most of the time
Warning: It’s dystopia mixed with steampunk and futuristic elements combined with elements from the 18th century, I guess... So it’s a little bit darker at some points, but nothing too dark, I promise.
Summary: The world in 2300 has changed. The society is divided in humans and slaves. Slaves are born and sold to fulfil their masters’ needs and desires. There are only a few masters who see their slaves as humans – like the Sakurai brothers. But it’s hard to hide this, when the rest of the world wants to see the slaves as ‘things to use’ and not as humans.
Note: I tried my best with the steampunk genre, but I think it became a mixture between some genres, nevertheless I hope you’ll like my new multi chapter <3 Sakumiya and JunBa will both have a lot of spotlight, and Ohno will be part of the story too ^__^




Nino looked up at the small hill where water splashed down between two big rocks. There was a small lake around the waterfall, but it was probably deep enough to swim in there. Nino froze. He hated lakes, sea, and everything concerning water.

“Wow, that's amazing,” Jun stunned. He placed his towel on the ground and sat down. “Come, Nino, let's enjoy the sun.” He smiled.

Jun had become totally different during the last weeks. His smile grew bigger and his whole attitude changed. Nino hoped that he had made a similar change, because he really felt happy now. He joined Jun on the towel. Ryo placed his towel on the ground and sat down opposite them. He pushed his shirt over his head and leaned back to let the sun shine on his body. Nino joined Ryo with removing his shirt. He could see Jun shifting next to him. He knew that Jun always felt uneasy with being naked.

“It's okay, Jun,” Nino said. “It's only us.”

Nino knew his friend felt uneasy whenever it came to uncover a part of him, and it didn’t matter if it was about uncovering something verbally or with his body. Jun nibbled on his lower lip before he undressed. His scars covered his shoulder and chest and Nino could see Jun’s cheeks flushing when he felt Ryo’s eyes resting on him.

Jun rubbed his left hand over his shoulder like he wanted to cover his scars there. “I am sorry for looking at you,” Ryo said.

“It’s okay.” Jun smiled at him. “It’s past.”

Nino blinked. Something in him warmed up. Jun was right, past was past and they had a new chapter in their life now – no, they had a life for probably the first time in their long path on this world.

“I heard you came from the shop?” Ryo asked probably to change the focus from Jun to the both of them.

Nino nodded. “And you?”

“Satoshi paid a rich man in the north to get me free,” Ryo explained.

“This place hadn’t been a nice one?” Jun wanted to know.

Ryo shook his head. “It was horrible, but Satoshi rescued me, so I am okay now.”

“Are you together?” Nino shrugged when he saw Jun’s dark glance on him. He knew he was pretty direct, but he had always been when he had been allowed to be like this.

Ryo’s cheek flushed. “I guess so, but he didn’t get any closer to me than a little making out.” He tousled through his hair. “And you?”

“No,” Nino said. Or was he together with Sho? They didn’t even kiss in the end, but there was this special electric feeling rushing through his veins every time the other was close to him.

“Yes, I guess so,” Jun giggled nervously. Nino blinked. Really? Jun had made it and that with his dark past and with his fear from human beings?

“Really?” Nino heard himself saying, more astonished than he wanted to sound.

Jun nodded. He didn’t even realize the slight jealous undertone in Nino’s voice, at least he hoped that. “At least we kissed and I think Masaki confessed or so.”

Ryo grinned at him. “That’s great, and you seem to like him too?”

Jun bit his lip. “Pretty much, but I am afraid that he thinks that I exploit him.”

“I think you need to cut off your sorrow, Jun. I see you looking at him and him looking at you. I think that fit. And Nino,” Ryo turned to him. “You should get your ass up to get Sho.”

Nino opened his mouth but closed it again. He didn’t know what to say. It was one of the rare times he was speechless. Yes, Ryo was right, he should get closer to Sho, but how? He was a slave after all, and everything he learned had been obeying and not to talk about his own feelings. “I think it’s not that easy.”

“I think he likes you,” Jun said encouraging.

Ryo nodded in agreement. “Let’s say next time we get here, we talk about our bed stories, like normal friends do?”

That sounded too good to be true, but Nino still doubted that this would happen, nevertheless he agreed with a nod.

“How about a bath now?” Jun suggested and jumped up to get to the water. Nino shook his head. “I will stay here, but you go.” He smiled.

“Oh no,” Ryo laughed. “You come along.” He took Nino’s wrist to pull him up. Slight fear came up in Nino.

“Okay, okay.” Nino stood up and watched Jun and Ryo jumping into the water.

“Woah, that’s cold,” Jun chuckled when he went up from under the water again.

Ryo jumped a little till his whole body was under the water. Nino could feel some water drops on his chest. He shivered a little, but not because the water had been cold, but because the water got deeper. He stopped when the water reached around his thighs.

Nino heard some birds singing above him and he turned his head up to look at them, when he felt two hands around his waist, pulling him into the water. He felt losing the ground under his feet and his whole body got surrounded by the water. He opened his eyes under the water and everything around him got blur. He started struggling against the water and a loud scream escaped his lips when he went up from under the water after a few seconds. His hands were moving furiously and he got some fresh air. His heart beat was fast and he could feel the panic coming up from his belly to his throat where it felt like cutting his voice of. Another loud moan escaped his lips and he twisted and turned to find some hold or someone to help him.

“Nino,” he heard Jun’s voice yelling before he felt four hands catching his arms and bringing him back to stand in the water.

Jun and Ryo helped him to their towels and placed him there. He could see Ryo’s pale face and Jun’s worried eyes resting on him. He had never talked about his fear from water, and now he somehow regretted it.

“I am so sorry,” Ryo said again and again.

Nino breathed in and out deeply. Jun wrapped a towel around his shoulders and rubbed them with his hands to calm him down, but it didn’t work. Nino could feel the panic and he couldn’t do anything to prevent it. The fear crawled through his veins and muscles and everything in him stiffened. It had been a long time since he had felt like this for the last time, but now it didn’t seem to stop. Nino’s mind played him a trick, he couldn’t stop the panic, it overwhelmed him.

“Who screamed, what happened?” Nino heard Sho’s voice from the small path which leaded to the cottage. Oh god, they had heard him, but he never wanted anyone to see him like this ever again.

“Nino.” Ryo’s voice sounded worried and guilty and he was moving. Nino didn’t want to make him feel bad, because he had no bad intention, it was his damaged mind fooling him.

“Ryo dived him into the water and he started screaming,” Jun explained.

“Why?” Sho asked. His voice was worried and hectic.

“I have no idea,” Jun said. Of course he hadn’t. Nino had never talked about it, except his words last night to Sho. He concentrated on the ground and started counting the grass. Maybe this would make him feel better.

Nino got lost in his thoughts till he felt two arms around his waist, pulling him into a hug. First he stiffened, but when he recognized this smell as Sho’s he relaxed almost immediately. He felt save and the fog in his mind cleared up again. He leaned into the embrace and his whole body let go off. “I am sorry.” Nino looked finally up at Ryo. “I didn’t want to scare you.”

“What happened to you?” Sho wanted to know. His breath was tickling in Nino’s neck. It let goose bumps appear on his skin.

“I …” Nino started. Was he able to talk about it? “My first owner almost drowned me when I had been five years old, because I did something wrong. Since then I am terribly afraid of water. I am sorry that I didn’t say this beforehand. I was afraid that you’d laugh about me.”

“I am sorry,” Ryo said again. He bowed. “If I had known about it…”

“It’s okay.” Nino shook his head.

“Hey, how about we get back to the cottage, Ryo and Satoshi you can care about the fish and meat for the barbeque and Jun and I will prepare the bread and salads and the dessert?” Masaki suggested. It was a drastic change of the topic, but Nino thanked him for this. He didn’t want to talk any further about it, at least not with everyone and not now.

“And we’ll stay here a little longer,” Sho said with a smile, his hands still around Nino. This sounded perfect for Nino, because now he was sure what he wanted to do and to say. He knew now that he was definitely in love for the first time in his life. No one had ever managed it to calm Nino down when he had been in this state, not even Jun, and he was Nino’s best friend after all.

Nino nodded. “That would be nice.”

A/N: Hello JunBa/Sakumiya lovers <3 What do you think about that chapter? So Nino is afraid of water? But he is sure about his feelings now? What do you think about it?
