A/N: Dear my recipient, I enjoyed imagining every scene in this fic, though i can’t put a lot of details in this (screw you forever writer block!) . I used one of your prompt with a little spin, i hope you will enjoy it. =) special thanks to my anonymous beta. You’re a great help, thank you. And to miss S (not a real name), thank you for helping me with my limited vocab.


Ohno loves everything about his new house. On top of the hill, with one side of the house having the view of the ocean, not too far from the town but secluded enough for him to have his focus on all of his arts stuff.

Truth to be told, he was deliberating when he first purchased the house. Owning a house was never in his ‘what I want to achieve in my life’-list. When every inch of his previous house reminded him Sho’s presence, Ohno knew he couldn’t take it anymore. Adding fuel to the fire was the media keeping on bugging him about the break up. And then, came the idea to buy a new house.

He didn’t completely blame the media though. After all both him and Sho were public figure. With Sho being the owner of a big corporation, and he was an established artist who makes a living by his arts, the focus on them was starting to annoy him when the only thing he wants to do now is to move on.

The first few weeks in the house was nothing but amazing. He has always loved quiet places. Away from people. He enjoyed the environment more than he could tell. It started to inspire him to produce more and more arts. Heck, he even found a new hobby; fishing, something he didn’t even think of doing before.

But as weeks turned to months, strange things started to happen. At first, he noticed that some of the things inside the house changed their places. One time, he placed the sofa leaning against the wall in the living room, But the next day, when he came back from the market, he saw that it has moved to the center of the room.

He noticed too that he tend to misplace his things even though he was sure that he had put it at the right place. His keys for example. He knew he had this habit to properly place his keys inside the key box. But one time when he tried to search for it, he realized that it was no longer there. Instead, he found it on the sink, in the bathroom.

At first, he tried to ignore all the weird ideas he had inside his head. He reasoned that he probably was too tired to realize that he’s making those mistakes.

But then, he started to see shadows and images. He still tried to ignore it, until...

“Who’s there?” he asked. His hand trembled, trying to keep the grip the bat in his hand tight enough.

He was watching the television when he saw it from the corner of his eyes, a female figure in white, standing still in the middle of the living room, staring at him. As he turned to take a proper look, the figure moved in a blink of eyes, penetrating the wall. That was the moment he was sure that his house was haunted.

Still ...

“Show yourself! I dare you!” he challenged the entity, a big mistake he had made.

And then he heard the woman giggle, followed by a thrilling laugh. As he kept listening, he noticed how the faint sound was getting clearer behind him. His stomach churned as he turned to take a look at the owner of the sound.

It took him in the count of three before he fainted.

***

“I swear! My house is haunted! Why do you think I would joke about something like this? I’m seeking help from you!”Ohno yelled at the person on the other line.

He thought he had fallen into a deep trouble. Buying this house made him spend almost half of what he had earned the whole life. Apparently the locals had heard about the rumors of the house being haunted, which was why no one dared to stay in or buy the house. And now that the rumors have spread, he sure there’d no profit if he ever decided to sell the house.

He tried to bear with the presence of the entity inside his house. Most of the time he ignored it whenever the ‘woman’ appeared, doing her usual ‘i’m gonna stare at Ohno Satoshi forever gesture’. But when she started to do more, like snuggling closer to him at the sofa, wrapping her cold arms around his, Ohno couldn’t really ignore it anymore.

Finally, he decided to call a ghostbuster, according to the ads he found in the internet.

But to his luck, the other person seemed to think that he was playing around. He heard how the man rant about how everyone not taking his job seriously, telling how people are throwing him rocks, saying him crazy before ending up his rant with some scornful words over Ohno’s problem.

“You can’t be serious, can you?” The man at the end of the line asked.

“I am! In fact, my hand is getting numb from being hugged for almost an hour. So could you please, ask someone to come over? Take a look. I’ll pay you in advance if you think I’m joking!”

For a brief moment, the guy was silent. Perhaps deliberating if he should trust Ohno or just ignore him in despair. Ohno hoped he wouldn’t. But then he heard a hard sigh from the man.

“I’ll send someone to go and check over there tomorrow,” and then, he hung up.

Ohno was about to let out a sigh of relief when he heard the woman laughed.

“You’re going to call a ghostbuster?” the ghost asked, laughing as she found it funny. Ohno just ignored her. Still, being the annoying one she is, she wrapped her arm even tighter around Ohno’s arms, leaning her head on his shoulder.

“Believe me, Ohno-san,” she said, giggling in between of her words. “You’re never going to catch me,”

Ohno snickered.

***

The next day, two guys appeared in front of his front door. One of them was tall and giddy while another one was a bit shorter, unusually pale and look annoyed most of the time. Actually the reason why he looked annoyed was because of the other guy who dragged him to came along for the job, based on what Ohno heard their conversation.

“Umm hello,” he interrupted their bickering. “I... I don’t know where I should start, but maybe you can start looking in the living room,”

For a moment, Ohno was a bit worried when the two guys looked at him with a weird kind of look. He thought they might think he is crazy, but if they did, wouldn’t that be ridiculous for them to agree to to come and take a look?

“I’m Ohno, by the way,”

“I’m Masaki,” the giddy guy replied, hopping towards him and holding out his hand for a handshake. They both then looked at the other guy, looking at them in disgust, for god knows what reason.

“Nino,” he said shortly before shifting his whole attention to the house.

Ohno looked at Aiba who was looking cheerfully around the house. What different personalities these two ghostbuster have, he thought.
He saw Nino scanning across the room, perhaps trying to look for that certain entity. Out of nowhere, he felt his stomach churning. What if instead of one, they found two in his house? Even worst, what if there’s more than that?

The thought made him sick!

“This place makes me sick,” Nino suddenly said. Ohno’s eyes widen in surprise.

“Wait, why?” he asked, truly panicking. “Is the ghost that bad? You can feel its existence right? Is there more than one?”

Nino smirked hearing all those question. To be honest, he couldn’t believe it, seeing someone can get so scared of a simple entity. He wanted to laugh, heck, in any other ocassion, he would. But seeing how scared the man look, he couldn’t bring himself to do so. Hence, he looked at Aiba as he spoke.

“I hate the sea. Just that. It has nothing to do with the ghost,”

“Huh?” Ohno asked, confused.

“Your house has the smell of the sea. It can’t be helped though, judging from the location,”

“Oh,” Ohno responded, slightly relieved when he heard the man’s explanation.

“Though, I do sense an entity in here,” Nino continued, this time, he couldn’t help but chuckled when he saw Ohno’s mouth widening in surprise.

“A lustful one, if I have to add,” Aiba added, earning him a glare from Nino.

“What do you mean by lustful?” Ohno asked, curious.

“Ooh, we normally ask that question to the ghost once we catch it. You might have to prepare yourself to hear about it,” Aiba said, before leaving to another room, leaving the two men alone.

There’s something strange inside him when his eyes met Nino. Truthfully, despite how pale the man is, he still has those beautiful brown eyes. And he actually adored that detail on someone before. Someone he had forgotten about.

He once had a friend, a close one too. And if he remember it right, they’re almost together, if it wasn’t for the fact that they’re teenagers and bound to their parents, they didn’t.

But Ohno remembered that the time they spent together before was the best moment he has ever had in his life. Perhaps, even better than the one he had with Sho.

“If you don’t mind, Ohno-san, let us stay here for a few days. Just in case the ghost decided to make a move,” Nino said, startling him from his thought.

Their eyes met for a brief second before Ohno replied.

“Sure, I’ll prepare a room for the two of you .”

As he made his way to the room, Ohno wonder how Kazunari’s life is now.

***

Nothing strange happened to them for the next few days. Ohno could finish his art again in peace. But it worried him what the two ghostbusters might think about him. With no ghost around, they probably think he was lying.

Nino and Aiba were unique. They didn’t bring along all the weird equipments ghostbusters usually have, except for a few empty glass bottles. When he asked Aiba about it, the man just simply said that they don’t need it as they were gifted to catch ghost by their own sense and also a piece of paper with a written spell and glass bottle that is hardly break. Most of the time, they’re talking to each other, ignoring Ohno’s existence. But sometimes when their eyes met, Ohno swore he could see Nino looking at him with this kind of longing look.

And he ended up drawing that look on his canvas.

“You drew me?” Nino asked just as he finished stroking the final detail. He turned, seeing Nino approaching him, amused.

“Ah, this-“ he paused. His sight turned to see at his works again. “I just got my inspiration, somehow,”

“By drawing me? How does that even work?” Nino asked, causing Ohno to shrug.

“I don’t know,” he said, observing his works. “you have a drawable face. And your eyes-“

Nino raised his eyebrows. “What about my eyes?”

Ohno didn’t answer it immediately. He was taking his time, thinking if his answer could get anymore weirder. And it slipped out.

“You looked like you’re longing for someone,”

Me, to be exact. But he didn’t voice it out loud. Slowly, he put the painting frame at one corner of the room. Only then he noticed, Nino didn’t give him a response. He turned to look at the man.

“Are you?” he asked. He saw a smile creeping on the man’s face as he walked towards him.

“I am. But I wonder if the one I missed remember my existence,”

Nino reached his hand towards the painting, adoring Ohno’s works. No one ever drew him that way and if he has to say, Ohno was good at it. The details were perfect, and it perfectly pictured out his exact feeling at the moment.

He was longing for someone. And it hurt to say he did when the one he missed was so close to him. But judging from how he looked, Nino’s sure, he didn’t remember his existence.

Ohno didn’t know what drove him when he tried to take the man’s hand into his. Nino looked surprised by his act but he was even more surprised. The man’s hand was as cold as ice and for some reason he started to wonder if Nino was also a ghost trying to haunt him too? Now that he remembered, Aiba had that kind of coldness too when they were shaking hands.

“Are you cold?” He asked, uncertain of his words. Nino quickly took his hand away from him.

“Everyone said I have cold hands, Ohno-san. I guess that could be the reason why no one wanted to date me,” he said, laughing nervously. But Ohno didn’t found it weird. Instead, he had replied

“I would date you,” he said unconciously. “I mean... I am hot, you’re cold. We’ll be equilibrium,”

“Cheesy, Mister. Say that again when we’re not in business relationship,” Nino said, leaving Ohno alone in the room, giggling while thinking of the hint he got from Nino.

One thing that he didn’t realized, there’s a pair of eyes, staring in anger over the man’s happiness.

***

It was the next day when Ohno woke up to find that the Nino portrait has been splattered with a red paint. On top of it, there were ‘you’re dead’ words written on it.

“Wow, Nino. Were you?” Aiba asked, causing Nino to glare at him.

“Shut up! We need to work on it fast!” he replied.

“You really made yourself a new enemy, Nino,”

“Do you think I wanted it? It’s not my fault that she died while she was on her way to meet this guy,” Nino snapped, pointing at Ohno who was standing in shock upon hearing the new revelation.

“How did you know that?” Ohno asked. “You guys have been communicating with her?”

Nino rolled his eyes.

“We’re ghostbusters, Ohno-san. We can hear their voice. And yes. She’s been ranting about it since the first day we’re here. So now if you please, let us do our job. Go and do something else,” Nino said, pulling out the glass bottle from his bag. Ohno nodded, agreeing with the man’s suggestion.

But before he could leave the room, he saw the ghost that was hunting him, standing at the door of the room. He felt speechless, unable to react nor warned Nino or Aiba as he saw the woman ghost flew towards them with a knife in her hand.

Still, both Nino and Aiba was fast enough to dodge the attack. The ghost didn’t stop there though, she made her move towards them again, trying to slash them by her reach. She failed.

Perhaps knowing that she wouldn’t stand a chance, she headed towards Ohno, hooking her arm around his neck, the knife on his throat.

“Stop!” Nino yelled, stopping whatever intention she had. The laughter of the ghost sent terror all over their bodies. Ohno even thought that it would be his end.

“If he dies today, this is your fault!” she threathened. Her eyes were red, displaying how angry she was at the moment. But both Nino and Aiba kept calm.

“How is it my fault?” Nino asked. He tried to take one step towards them but when he saw the knife almost penetrating Ohno’s skin, Nino stopped.

“I was there. Every single fansign. Every exhibition. I sent him presents, letters, emails, messages, everything. But nothing. He never responded to me! But you, you came here one day, and won his heart just like that?”

“Well, everyone falls in love with our Nino though. With that kind of look, anyone could easily fall in love-“ He didn’t finish his words as Nino nudged him on his waist. Not helping, he mouthed at Aiba, causing the man to stop talking.

“If that is your answer, then go ahead and date anyone else. Satoshi-kun is mine!”

“No, he’s not!” Nino snapped. “Look. If you love him, you should-“

“I AM NOT GOING TO LISTEN TO YOUR ‘I SHOULD LET HIM LIVE FREELY AND FALL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE’. ESPECIALLY SOMEONE LIKE YOU WHO’RE NOT EVEN BETTER THAN ME!” She shrieked. “My decision is absolute. If you’re taking me back to the land of death, i’m taking him together.”

Nino knew he needed to make a decision. No more negotiating. He knew that if he took just one wrong step, he’s going to risk Ohno’s life. He needed to catch the woman fast, sending her to the land of death, the place where she belongs. And by doing that, Ohno will be free and no more haunted. Except...

Still, he couldn’t figure out how. With the knife on Ohno’s throat, one wrong move will hurt Ohno or even worse, kill him.
Slowly, he looked at Aiba, and he noticed a paper with a spell to catch the ghost written on it. He knew Aiba was ready. All they need to do now is to distract the woman.

He didn’t take long to think when he threw the glass bottle next to the ghost, distracting her when it landed on her feet. Quickly, Aiba ran towards both Ohno and her, swirling Ohno away from the ghost grasp before he pasted the paper on the woman’s cheek.

As she was absorbed into the paper, she screamed in agony. In a blink of time, she disappeared from Ohno’s view. Only the paper that trapped her kept on moving, as if she’s trying to escape from it.

Ohno looked as Nino took the paper, rolled it small enough before he put it inside the glass bottle that he threw earlier.

“I guess... we’re done here,” Aiba said, breaking the silence between all of them.

“Yeah-“ Nino replied, trying to find more words to continue. “Yeah.”

“Thank you,” Ohno said. So it’s over now. Still, something he was curious about. “I was wondering. She said you’re taking her to the land of death,” both Nino and Aiba nodded. “How?”

Both Aiba and Nino looked at each other. Well, that was an unexpected question. No one ever asked that before. Usually, the client will request them to leave as soon as possible and they will be pleased to obey. Explaining to Ohno will probably be long for him to understand. Hence, Nino replied.

“it’s complicated. I don’t think-“

His sentences stopped halfway when they heard the sound of the doorbell. Both Aiba and Nino froze when Ohno made his way to the front door, answering the guest.

When Ohno opened the door, there was a woman with two big bags with strange equipment standing in front of the door. She was smiling widely before she started apologizing.

“Ohno-san, is it? I’m sorry it took me almost a week to reach here,” she said with a friendly smile on her face. “May I come in?”

“Umm, who are you?” Ohno asked, hesitating to allow her in.

“Ah, I’m sorry i didn’t introduce myself. I’m Mao. I was sent by my boss to look at your problem, about the ghost things,” she said, ending her sentence with an awkward laugh.

Ohno frowned.

“But, I think your colleagues has solved my problem. They arrived here earlier and they caught the ghost,”

This time, it was Mao turn to frown.

“My cliques?” she asked. “I think you got it wrong. Unless you call another ghostbuster, I have no colleagues except for my boss. But Matsumoto-san is out of town for another case so, I’m sure he- wait a minute,”

She forced her way in, stopped halfway as she scanned around the house. Ohno could see that she was shivering, not sure if it was because of the sudden cold in the atmosphere or because she was terrified.

“There’s a very strong presence in here, Ohno-san,”

“No way!” he snapped. “I swear my problem has been solved! I witnessed it. Every single details!”

“Your first problem was solved. I sense it. There are three entity in here. One was trapped. But another two are still moving freely,”
Ohno’s eyes widen in surprised. Another two. Which means...

And then he saw them. Both Aiba and Nino. Except this time, they looked like they have deteriorated a bit, skin shrinking to their bone, with their eyes red as they looked at the two human.

“Leave. Now,” Nino said, his voice as cold, sending fear to the one who heard it. Mao didn’t wait longer when she quickly made her way out of the house. But before Ohno could follow her, two hands stopped him.

“We have unfinished business, Ohno-san,” Nino said, smiling, revealing his bloody teeth.

Ohno didn’t remember much after that. Not even a scream. He just fainted.

***

He woke up with an unfamiliar smell penetrating his nose. It sounded so noisy to his ears. Remembering the details of what happened earlier, he couldn’t bring himself to open his eyes yet. Still, he caught the conversation of the people around him.

“Do you think he will be alright?”

That was Nino, he thought.

“It depends on how you define alright.” He heard Aiba said. Ohno’s sure enough Nino would be glaring at Aiba for saying that, demanding for more explanation. “If by alright you mean he’s still alive, yeah, he’s going to be alright. But I won’t bet that he will be alright to you, knowing the fact that you’re now-“

In instant, he pulled himself up, trying to move away from the man. There he realized. He’s not in his house. The wall was red and black. The light that illuminates the place makes it look dull and scary. Luckily both Nino and Aiba didn’t look as scary as they were the last time he saw them.

Was he dead? He wondered. But he heard Aiba said he is still alive that it made him a bit relieve. When he saw Nino approaching him, he stepped back, putting more distance between them.

“Stay away from me,” he yelled.

“Satoshi-kun, I can explain,”

“What is there to explain? At the first place, what unfinished business do you have with me that you appear in my life? Where am I?” Ohno asked, panicking.

“I am going to answer your last question first.” Nino said, gesturing at Aiba to leave the two of them alone. Once Aiba had left, he turned to Ohno again, answering his question. “You’re in the Land of Death,”

“what?” Ohno’s eyes widen. “Am I dead?” he asked, trying to confirmed his own doubt.

Nino shook his head. “No, you’re not.”

“Then why am I here? Why were you in my house? I didn’t call you!”

“No, you didn’t. But me and Aiba have this role to bring a missing soul to the Land of Death. Souls like the woman who had been haunting you. Even if you didn’t call us, we would still be there. It just happened that at the same time, I have some unfinished business with you too,”
Nino paused, taking a breath that he didn’t need. This will be tough, he thought. But Ohno deserved to know. He wanted Ohno to know.

“Don’t you remember me, Satoshi-kun?” he asked, slightly frustrated when he saw Ohno shook his head frantically.

“I waited, you know.” Nino continued, this time furious was heard in his voice. “For you. Waiting for you to fulfil your promise.

“I don’t know you!” Ohno yelled. “I don’t know what promise I made with you! You’ve got the wrong person,”

“I don’t!” Nino snapped, obviously annoyed. “You promised me. You promised me that you’ll take me on a date when we grow up. You told me to wait at the shore we first met on that exact date. And me being so stupidly hopeful, waited for you there only for me to see you and that Sakurai guy!”

For once, Ohno couldn’t figure out what Nino was talking about. Promise? He never promised anyone-

Wait a minute. He did. And it was years ago that he had forgot about it.

A promise he made with a guy named Ninomiya Kazunari.

“When we grow up, I will take you out for a date,”

“You know it’s impossible right?

“Why not? Wait for me here, on my 27th birthday,”

“Trust me, Satoshi-kun. Knowing you, you even forgot to take your breakfast. I don’t trust you will remember your own promise,”

“I will. I promise,”

And then he forgot it.

“You’re dead?” Ohno asked. He swore he could hear the sound of his heart breaking when he saw Nino nodded.

“You finally remember me,” Nino stated a matter of fact, causing the man to slump to the bench near the wall he was standing.

“I’m- I’m sorry, I- I-“

“I don’t blame you, Satoshi-kun. You’re having a wonderful life. Having such a life, I would forget such an unimportant promise too,”

“But it is important. Nino-“

“Do you know why I hate the sea, despite it being the place where we first met?” he cut the man’s sentence. Slowly, he took his seat on the bench, putting a bit distance knowing that Ohno might run away if he didn’t. “I died there. My mind was preoccupied with the image I saw. You’re happy with someone else. Even though i waited for you,”

Nino paused. He stared deep into Ohno’s eyes, noticing that guilt in it. Still, he feel the need to continue his story.

“I fell to the sea and the waves took me to the center. Before i know, i stopped struggling with death, and i enjoy my life here now. Yeah, on your 27th birthday, I died,” Nino said, smirking victoriously.

“I’m sorry,” Ohno said after a brief moment of silence.

“Apology accepted, Satoshi-kun. But some things can’t be undone. And the day I died, I promise myself that i will haunt you. But you see, it took me 10 years for me to pay you a visit. It is more fun to do it with you being heartbroken after you broke up with that Sakurai guy.” Nino said, laughing at his own words, even though he sure, it’s not even funny.

They fell into silence. For once, Ohno regretted it. These past few days with Nino, even though nothing much had happened, it was really fun. He enjoyed the man company, despite how annoying Nino looked most of the time. And that one special time too.

He had fallen in love with the man for the second time in his life. But how is he going to make things right when they’re now existing in two different world?

And then he heard Nino sigh. he saw Nino moves, closing the distance between them before the man shoot him another question.

“Do you... at least have the slightest feeling of love for me now, Satoshi-kun?”

“I do!” he answered quickly without hesitation. “I really do. Will you tell me how I can make this right for us again?”

“Huh?”

“These past days, I had a lot of fun with you. I was getting my inspiration again. I have to say, I was a bit shocked when I got to know the truth. But no matter what, Nino, I want to be with you.” Taking one deep breath, he said “I love you,”

“Good,” Nino smiled. “I’m letting you go,”

“What? No!” Ohno protested.

“There’s nothing we can do, Satoshi! There are things that can be undone,” he said, biting his lips. “And here is not where you belong,”

“But-“

Ohno couldn’t continue with his words. Nino was right. They belong to two different world now. Despite his urge to live with Nino and love him the way he should, he knew it’s impossible.

His eyes met Nino’s. He stared deep into the man’s eyes, hoping to hear at least one solution, suggestion or even hope that he can make it right between them again. Heck, even if he have to die for it, he will.

But nothing confused him more when he heard Nino laugh.

“You think I will give you up, letting you go forever?”

“But you just said-“

“Didn’t you hear what I said? I’m letting you go back to your world, Satoshi-kun. But I never said I would stop haunting you,”

Ohno’s jaws dropped.

“What? I died waiting for you. You think I’m going to let you go that easily? I will haunt you, follow you like shadow, stop you from falling in love with any other person,” he said, smiling triumphly. But that smile quickly change into shy one. Despite his pale skin, Ohno could see a fade shade on the man’s cheek when he continue.

“And I’m going to be the first one to greet you when you die,”

Silence.

Was it too much? Nino can’t help wondering. Heck, he wanted the man to fall for him, not scared for him. Man, you’re stupid, Ninomiya Kazunari.

“Actually,” Ohno spoke again, startling Nino from his own thought. “That sounds great to me. I don’t mind being alone, as long as i can feel your presence,”

Nino smiled. So... he did it. Somehow, he couldn’t stopped himself from smiling

“Will I see you again?” Ohno asked. Nino shrugged in response.

“I will appear, here and there. If not always. But don’t be shocked when you saw me with how i look earlier. Sometimes i forgot my make up,” Nino said, making both of them to laugh.

Slowly, they leaned in. Ohno’s hand cupped Nino’s cold face, pulling him closer for a kiss. Even though his lips were cold, Nino’s sure it was one hot kiss they’ve shared for the first time after a whole period of waiting.

“I love you, Satoshi,” he said, slightly whispering to man.

“I love you too, Nino,”

But he heard no reply. Slowly, he open his eyes only to see everything was back to normal. He was back to his house, and there’s no sign of Nino anywhere.

***

Epilogue

Sho came to visit him a few weeks later. Ohno perfectly knew what the man wanted, despite numerous topic has been changed as they tried to make their conversation continued. When Sho had no more topic to discuss, he got it straight to the points.

“I want us back, Satoshi-kun,”

“Haha. No,”

“why not? You know we love each other,”

“Actually, I have a new boyfriend, Sho,” he said, smirking when he saw that I-don’t believe-you face that Sho made. “I have to tell you, he’s a jealous type. So I believe you should leave before...”

Like a cue, there’s a flying plate across the room. One that almost hit the man. Thank god, Sho manage to dodge it. But it didn’t stop there. One after another kind of tease was being thrown to Sho until it really hit him on his head.

Sho couldn’t take it anymore.

He ran out the house, and Ohno could see how the man was trembling in fear, not even saying goodbye to him. And a second later, he heard the man yelling.

He laughed.

“You scared him enough, Nino,”

“Good,” Nino said, appearing from the wall, gliding across the room before settlingnext to Ohno. “At least he won’t come again,”

“You’re pretty posessive,” Ohno laughed again when he saw a pout on the ghost’s face. “I appreciate that though,”
Nino rolled his eyes.

He pulled the man’s collar, crashing their lips together before they moved away.

“I’m simply protecting what’s mine, Satoshi,”

“I like the idea of being yours,” he said, laughing when he saw Nino rolling his eyes again.

“You’re staying for dinner?”

“What are you going to feed me? Ashes?” Nino retorted in response, punching him on his arms. Somehow, Ohno laughed, imagining what will be Nino's reaction if he actually serve him one.

Call him crazy, but he’s kinda sure, that maybe, his death day will be worth to wait.
