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 ^__^
Masaki walked back to the cottage with Jun right next to him. He could hear Satoshi and Ryo whispering something behind them. He couldn’t hear everything, but he was sure that he heard how Ryo apologized again and again for what had happened. He was sure that Ryo didn’t intend to scare Nino like that and he could understand that he was so damn shocked.
He turned to Jun. “Did you know?”
Jun just shook his head. He also looked pale and slightly panicked. “I thought my heart would stop when I heard him screaming.”
Masaki nodded. He had already guessed something like this. Otherwise Jun would have reacted earlier to prevent this happening. He placed his arm around Jun’s shoulder to pull him a little closer. “He is in good hands now,” Masaki whispered.
They entered the house and Satoshi and Ryo excused to get a short rest, which would be a talk and probably some more apologizes from Ryo.
“I think I need a shower and some dry clothes,” Jun said, sounding absent-minded when they had reached their room.
Masaki held him back. “Hey,” he said. “Everything is okay. Sho’s with him.”
Jun nodded. “It was just … I never heard such a scream for a long time. Last time it was …,” he stopped.
Masaki could already guess what Jun wanted to say when he saw Jun brushing over his scars on his upper arm. “It was you screaming, right?”
Jun nodded. Masaki didn’t know what to say. Were there any words he could use now, which wouldn’t sound too stupid? Probably not. He stepped to Jun to close the distance between them and pulled Jun into an embrace. Maybe it was the best thing he could do now. He felt Jun leaning against him, searching for Masaki’s warmth. Masaki didn’t care that Jun was wet and cold. The slow breath and Jun’s tiny moves with his hands on Masaki’s back let him feel all warm.
“Can I ask something?” Masaki heard Jun saying while his head rested against Masaki’s shoulder.
“Sure,” Masaki said, dissolving from the other. He could see Jun getting nervous. “Jun, what do you want to ask?” Masaki said when there came no question.
“Are we together or not?” Jun almost blurred out. His cheeks were red and his fingers moved nervously.
It made Masaki laugh out loud, which made him earn a dark glance from Jun. “Of course we are, stupid.” He pulled on Jun’s neck to get him closer and placed a peck on Jun’s lips. Okay, he hadn’t been sure either about it beforehand, but now he had no fear and no doubt about anything anymore. He had fallen for Jun, and nothing would change this. When they had heard this terrible scream, he feared that something might have happened to Jun and he’d never forgive himself when this would happen.
Masaki saw Jun smiling at him, like he had never seen him smile before. It was the most incredible and amazing smile on earth – at least for Masaki, because Sho and Satoshi would probably say something else. “Seems that this okay for you?” Masaki joked.
Jun smacked him playfully before he turned to go to the bathroom. “I was never happier than I am now,” Jun said when before he closed the door to the room.
Masaki breathed out. He was glad that Jun hadn’t recognized how afraid and nervous Masaki had been because of this question, but now there was everything clear and he was in a relationship from now on. Oh god – now Masaki panicked a little. His last relationship was years ago, and he didn’t feel all over confident about this.
~~~
Nino and Sho didn’t move for a while. The others had already gone minutes ago, but they still sat there, staring at the water curling on the surface. Nino closed his eyes to memorize the feeling of Sho’s hands around him. “I am sorry for what happened to you,” Sho said after a while.
“It’s okay, it’s not Ryo’s fault,” Nino answered.
“No, I mean what happened to you back when you had been a child,” Sho explained.
Nino shrugged. “That was long ago and I decided to leave my past behind.” Okay, he had decided this an hour ago when Jun had said this, but in the end it just count that he had made the decision to forget about everything he had experienced. He wanted to move on, to look forward, and he wanted the other, he just had no idea how to speak about this without sounding stupid, and he didn’t want to think about what he would do if he’d get rejected. Would Sho make him leave him? Would he send him to another place? Or back to the shop? Would he keep him? Fear came up in him again.
“Your shoulders tense up again, are you afraid of something?” Sho asked. Damn body language, Nino cursed in his mind.
He sighed. Okay, he would never find more courage than he had now. “Sho, I want to know if you can imagine…” He looked directly into Sho’s eyes and he had the feeling of getting lost somewhere in them.
“Yes,” Sho said without waiting for Nino to finish his sentence.
“You don’t know what I wanted to say.” Nino rolled his eyes.
Now Sho laughed and his voice didn’t sound that worried anymore, but he was still scanning every move Nino made. “Oh, sorry, what do you wanted to say?” Was he fooling him here?
“I wanted to ask if you can imagine being together with me,” Nino spoke way too fast, like he feared that his courage would leave him during talking.
He waited for an answer, his eyes tightly closed. Sho didn’t say something, but soon Nino could feel Sho’s finger brushing his lips before Nino felt Sho’s lips on his. It was more amazing that Nino had imagined it. He guessed that he could take this as a yes and with that everything in him started spinning. Nino realized that this was the first time he was in love for real.
~~~
Ryo had apologized for another 500 times when Nino and Sho had come back to the cottage, but now they sat together in the garden and the meat on the grill smelled like heaven to Masaki. He hadn’t eaten something since breakfast and he could feel his stomach already grumbling.
“You are really hungry?” Satoshi asked with a grin.
“Yes, it’s too long without food, I need some more,” Masaki whined. He looked at Nino, who sat opposite. His cheeks were slightly flushed but he looked still pale. Masaki looked at his brother, who had the almost same redden cheeks, and he could already guess what had happened, but it made him feel all over good. “Oh, talking about food,” Masaki suddenly said.
He stood up and walked to the fridge. He took the small plates with Kimchi and brought them to the table. “I tried to recreate a spice called Kimchi. I think it worked out. I made an appetizer for you all.” He gave everyone a plate and sat on his place. He looked around how they tried it.
Nino wrinkled up his nose. “No, that’s not my taste.” He looked at Masaki. “I am sorry about it.”
Masaki shook his head. It was okay that it didn’t taste good for Nino. Sho smiled. “I take yours.” That was foreseeable, Sho liked everything concerning food.
“Not that bad,” Satoshi said and Ryo agreed to him. “But I don’t need it often,” Satoshi added.
Masaki looked at Jun who tasted only a bit of it, before he started eating the vegetable-Kimchi mix. “That’s good.” Something in Masaki jumped. He gave a lot on Jun’s opinion.
“Here we go,” Satoshi said with a grin. He had a big plate with various kind of meat on it.
“Wow, that’s amazing. Satoshi, you aren’t the best cook, but you definitely know how to make a good barbeque.” Masaki took a bite of the meat and his stomach grumbled in happiness. He loved the spices Satoshi combined on the steak and the meat was soft and almost melting on his tongue, like he loved it most.
“Oh, by the way, Masaki, Sho, I got a message before we came here. We need to go to the north tomorrow evening and not next week. I hope that’s okay?” Satoshi asked and looked from one to the other.
Masaki didn’t look at Jun, but he could somehow feel the other stiffening next to him like he was afraid. He looked at Nino and Ryo, who had almost no colour in their faces. Masaki knew that the north always contained danger and after war zones, but someone needed their help and they were doctors after all. They needed to help the people there and in the end Satoshi needed someone to help with the botanic problems. So there was no discussion about not going there, and no one, not even Jun would keep him away from doing his job.
“I have an idea,” Masaki said and looked from Jun to Ryo and finally Nino. “How about you stay in my rooms together till we are back? I need someone to take care of my winter garden and my animals?”
“Me too?” Ryo looked at him, his finger pointing at himself. “But I don’t live at your place.”
“Ah, that doesn’t matter. As long as you stay in the cellar and winter garden, nothing can happen to you. I will prepare everything for you, so you have enough food, and whatever you need to stay a few days there.” Masaki smiled. He had the feeling that the others liked the idea. He looked at Sho who gave him a silent nod of agreement and then he saw Satoshi’s eyes resting on him and a small ‘thank you’ formed around his lips.
“I would love that,” Jun said. He seemed to understand that there was no way that they’d stay at home but when he saw Nino’s dark glance, he wasn’t sure if Sho would go to sleep without a discussion beforehand.
Later on, when Masaki helped Satoshi cleaning the barbeque griller Satoshi whispered. “I really thank you for the invitation, you can’t imagine how much it burdened me to leave Ryo alone at home. He doesn’t like it staying alone, and I feared he wanted to accompany us, but it’s too dangerous.”
“I know,” Masaki agreed. “It’s no problem. I think they’ll get along well.”
Masaki walked back to his room when they had done the cleaning. They’d drive back to their manor early in the morning, but for now he needed some sleep. He closed the door and looked at Jun’s light brown eyes resting on him from the border of the bed, where Jun sat, his hands rubbing nervously against each other. “What happened?” Masaki asked, a little afraid that it was something bad.
A/N: Sooooo, we finally have Sakumiya and JunBa together :D But what do you think happened to Jun in the end? Why is he so nervous? And what will happen in the north? Or what will happen with Jun and the others at home? :D Questions and more questions ;)
