sky_no_yukiTitle: My word is my bond
Pairing: Aiba Masaki/ Matsumoto Jun; Ninomiya Kazunari/ Sakurai Sho
Rating: NC-17 for this chapter
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 slipped under the blanket. Sho was still in the bathroom, but Nino already got nervous.
"Hey," Sho said when he came back into the room. He walked up to the bed and lay down right next to Nino. Nino could feel Sho's hand on his hips to pull him closer. "Is everything okay?"
Nino nodded. He didn't know how to speak out loud what he wanted to say. He knew he wasn't a regular slave anymore, but he was afraid to make Sho angry with his words.
Sho turned to the side and leaned his head on his hand. "No, something burdens you. Tell me."
Nino shifted nervously. "I don't know how to talk about it." Embarrassment mixed with fear made its way through Nino's body.
"Just say it out loud," Sho suggested. His free hand searched for Nino's to intertwine their fingers.
"I already told you that I am a virgin, or no, let's say I never slept with men. I had some female owners instead." Nino's cheeks flushed.
"And that's a problem for you?" Sho asked.
Nino blinked. That wasn't what he wanted to say. Heat rushed through his body. "No, I thought it's for you and I think I need some time, but if you want, ..." Nino started, but Sho immediately stopped him with raising his hand. He smiled at Nino but didn't say anything for a moment before he just leaned forward to kiss Nino.
"I am okay with waiting, really," Sho said after they had dissolved from the kiss.
Nino felt every tension in him fading. He had always been someone who got easily drowned by things burdening him.
"Do you want to talk about that owner who wanted to drown you?" Sho asked a short while later.
"I don't know if I am able to, but I would be happy to get rid of this burden by talking about it," Nino said honestly. Only the thought about this time in his life made him feel like throwing up, but maybe it would become better if he'd get rid of it.
"You can start and stop whenever you want." Sho smiled at him. Nino could have got lost in this beautiful smile. It made him feel warm and save.
"I had to work in this big house when I was a child. My owner was rich, really rich. He had various slaves and maids and butlers. The younger ones had to live in the cellar, while the older ones already moved to the upper floors."
"The cellar?" Sho asked.
Nino nodded. "It was a dark, black hole. We didn't have light, water, or even a bed. The ground was wet and we got something to eat twice a week. I was there to work in the garden."
Sho's eyes rested on him, and they seemed to get darker with every second Nino spoke about his past. Sho sat up to lean against the bed's backrest. Nino felt Sho's hands around his waist and he pulled him up between his legs and wrapped his arms around Nino.
Nino felt so save and just good in this moment that he continued talking about his life. "I had been there since six months when suddenly flowers and fruits in the garden were stolen. I had never stolen something, so it wasn't me. But the owner didn't believe me, and for my punishment he dived me under the water till I was almost unconscious, that's why I am so afraid of waters."
Nino turned his head to look at Sho, who pulled his arms closer around Nino. "I am so sorry to hear that. I wished I would have been able to meet you earlier."
Nino shook his head. "At least we met." He smiled at Sho.
Nino felt Sho's fingers brushing his face before he leaned into the feeling when Sho's lips brushed his' softly.
Nino had kissed before, but he had never the feeling of hundreds of fireworks exploding in him. When he felt Sho's tongue brushing his lower lip to ask for permission to enter, he opened his mouth and their tongues started a playful fight.
Nino dissolved from the other and again there was this small insecure feeling in him. There was another thing burdening him. “Sho?”
The other had his eyes closed and was maybe already snoozing away. “Mhm?”
Nino shifted. “It’s senseless to ask you staying at home and not driving to the north, right?”
Sho opened his eyes to look at him directly. His eyes were darker, but not angry. “No, they need me there, Nino. We are doctors after all. We can’t decide where to go, we want to help everyone who needs us.”
Nino nodded. Yes, he had already guessed something like this. “Can you just do me a favour and take care of yourself?”
Nino knew the north side of the country. He had been there and it was far away from safe there. He was afraid that something might happen to Sho. “Nothing bad will happen, I promise.” Sho kissed him before he lay back on the bed and brushed the blanket over his and Nino’s body.
Still, Nino’s bad feeling didn’t go away, and he just hoped that Sho was right, and nothing would happen to them. Somehow he wished that he could accompany Sho to the north, but maybe it was better to stay at home in this case.

After a long hot shower Masaki and Jun coiled up in the bed. Masaki let his fingers brush over Jun's scars. He kissed some of them, making Jun wince because of the touch. "Who did this to you?"
Jun turned to Masaki. He had a sad sparkle in his eyes, and for a moment he thought about keeping quiet about it, but in the end he sighed and started talking. "Shiwamoto-san and some are from the club back in my younger days, but the most are from this one night I already told you about." Jun twisted some of Masaki's hair between his fingers. He seemed lost in his thoughts for some moments. "But it's past, and I want to leave it there."
Masaki smiled. That sounded good, too good to be true. He remembered about the books he had read some time ago. "You know, there is an island somewhere close to America where people live freely. I think that would be so nice to have it here."
Jun slipped closer. Masaki could feel his breath in his neck and Jun's lips brushed his neck playfully. "I am already happy."
The small butterflies in Masaki started dancing up and down happily when he heard Jun saying this. He was right, they were happy - for now, but what would happen if someone got to know about them? What should he do then? Masaki and Sho had to think about a plan, because one thing was clear for him: he'd never let Jun (or Nino) get away from their life again.
"Masaki?" Jun asked.
"Sorry," Masaki said. "I was absent minded. What did you say?"
Jun's smile faded. "Please be careful when you are in the north." He kissed Masaki's lips. "I am afraid that something might happen to you."
Masaki smiled at him. He could understand Jun’s fear, because he wasn’t happy about going there either, but there was no way to change this. “I have been there once, and I am honest, I don’t like the north, but there are people who need us there.”
“I know,” Jun sighed. “And I know I can’t make you stay?” Jun half asked. Maybe he hoped that Masaki would skip this trip. Masaki drew small patterns with his fingers on Jun’s skin. He slipped back into his thoughts again.
“You know I always think that there are maybe good-hearted people up there who just want to help others and now they need someone to help them,” Masaki said.
Jun straightened up. He placed his head on Masaki’s chest and looked up at him. “You know that you are far too nice?” He chuckled. “You want to help everyone, right?”
Masaki stroked Jun’s head. “Yeah, maybe you are right. I really want to help everyone, but you know. I will go there now, and I will stop these adventurous trips from now on. There are a lot of people who need me around here.”
“So this will be the last time you drive to the north?” Jun seemed delighted.
Masaki nodded. Yes, he’d stop this, and he had to think about some changes in his life from now on. He needed to talk with his brother about it, because he was sure that Sho had same thoughts.
~~~
Nino watched Sho, Masaki and Satoshi leaving the house. He stood with Jun and Ryo in the winter garden where they watched the car leaving. Nino felt depressed and his bad feeling wasn’t vanishing. What if …? Various scenarios rushed through his mind, and judging from how Jun and Ryo sat at the pond, staring at the turtles swimming there, they didn’t want to watch their friends driving away.
Akira nudged her nose against Nino’s thigh. During the last weeks he got used to the dog, and it sounded stupid, but now Akira gave him some kind of calmness, maybe because it was Sho’s dog after all, and he had the feeling that he was a part of Sho, even though that sounded stupid.
Nino still stared out of the window, even though the car was already gone. He sighed and stepped to the others.
Ryo and Jun were talking with each other, while their hands stroked the turtles’ armature. “They are gone now,” Nino said. He was depressed and still afraid that something might happen to the others. He didn’t like it being alone at home while the others were out there in the north.
Jun looked up at him. Nino smiled when he saw the strength in the other’s eyes. It was amazing to see Jun’s change. “Hey, Jun. There is something in your eyes. What happened?” Nino asked. He could see Jun blushing.
“Nothing,” he murmured while he turned his eyes back to the animals, like he didn’t want to look at the others.
“No, don’t tell me that there is nothing, I can see it in your eyes that there had something happened to you,” Nino chuckled.
Jun looked at him, showing on of his rare bright smiles, which would appear more and more from now on, Nino was sure about it. “I think I am just happy now,” Jun said.
“Oh, you have a real relationship now, right?” Ryo giggled happily. Life could have been so good, Nino thought. Why couldn’t they be just normal friends, sitting here together, chatting about stupid lovers, or going to work like ‘normal’ people did.
Jun’s cheeks blushed. “Yeah,” he murmured.
Nino sat next to his friends. “That’s really good, Jun. I think now we can head to a better life, can’t we?”
Jun turned to him. “Maybe, but do you think that this can last forever? You know how other people think about us. We aren’t worth to live with humans.”
Jun’s words hurt Nino. He got so used to this dream-like life during the last weeks that he almost forgot about his fear that this could end one day.
“I don’t know. Maybe I don’t want to think about an end,” Nino said. He knew it was blunt, but he finally had something he called life, and he didn’t want to think about bad times anymore, even though they’d come one day.
“Me neither,” Ryo agreed. “I survived a lot of things in past, but I don’t want to think about it anymore, and even though such times might come again, I don’t want to be afraid of it now.”
Jun nodded at Ryo. He seemed so absent-minded, even though he was happy, something bothered him, and Nino could probably understand it best: the north – what should they do if something might happen to them in the north?
“Ryo-chan, you lived in the north, right?” Nino asked. His knowledge about the north was just about a few months he had once spent there till he got sold again. He just could remember that even the rich humans didn’t dare to stay out at night on street. Gangs and bandits ruled the towns, and he didn’t even want to know what they did with slaves.
“Yes, I was born in the north, and I got sold there to a rich man, who was also part of the north’s most popular gang,” Ryo explained. He looked pale and it seemed that he didn’t want to think about how times had been in the north.
“Tell me, Ryo-chan, is it really that dangerous there? I mean for humans, not for us?” Jun sounded worried.
Ryo looked down on the turtles. He seemed to think about his answer and for a moment Nino had the feeling that Ryo didn’t want to tell them the truth.
“Didn’t you live in the north?” Ryo asked.
“Yes,” Nino said. “But I was quite young, and I can’t remember everything. But maybe it’s better to not know what’s going on there.”
Nino could see Jun’s face colour fading. The more he seemed to think about what could happen there, the more nervous he got.
“I can’t tell you about the situation now, because I never ever want to go back there, but the time I had to live there was worst,” Ryo explained. He seemed to think about his words closely. Probably he didn’t want to say something to make Nino and Ryo more nervous, but Nino already doubted that this was possible. “But the times back then were ruled by evil persons. They treated even humans bad. They had slaves, but you don’t want to imagine what some of them did to us. I don’t know how many slave friends I’ve lost during the last years.” Ryo looked at the animals again. He seemed deep in his thoughts before he looked up again smiling at Nino and Jun. “But it’s past, and I don’t want to think about it again. And our owners are humans, they aren’t in that danger. I am sure everything will be alright.”
“I am still afraid,” Jun said.
“We all are,” Nino agreed. “But hey, we have two days alone here, how about cooking something together?” He tried to cheer up the mood. He knew it was just a half-hearted try to make them calmer, but there was nothing else they could do right now.
