There were once, when the feeling was absolutely right for him to have it. The jealous thought of seeing his lover with someone else, having an intimate moment together, even for an acting.
He will waves it off, telling his partner he’s fine, when he’s not, and Ohno will come, snuggles next to him as he keep ensuring him that nothing will change between the two of them, nothing will take away his love towards him, and Nino will smiled brightly again, returning the hugs or sometimes sharing a kiss with the older man.
But that was before. That was 2 years ago. The last time they claimed how precious they are to one another. And then, something happened, and the relation that they build for almost 11 years end in a blink of time.
Nino didn’t know of the reason how it has end. He knows there’s part of the reason was his fault. Ohno was busy, and he was demanding. And when the demand started to get hard to be fulfilled, Ohno told him that he should find someone else for his own need.
He agreed. But after two weeks, what broken was no longer repairable. Just when he thought of waiting, Ohno has left him for something, someone better. He moved on, but Nino just couldn’t.
2 years, he was left hanging. The habit of getting jealous over Ohno’s intimate moment with someone, he just couldn’t hide it. It’s getting obvious every time.
“It’s too obvious, Nino,” was what the three often said to him. And Nino will reply them with only one answer.
“No matter how obvious it is, he will never notice it,”
The fact that Ohno has moved on hurts him. so much that it’s killing him everytime. The only way for him to mend his broken heart is by playing his DS, to forget everything that he’s gonna think. Especially about Ohno.
He wanted to forget, but every single time he tried the memories while being together before taunt him. While it is supposed to be a happy memory, Nino classified it as a nightmare. A nightmare that he always longed for it to happened again in his life.
He hoped for another chance, always. Every single day never failed to hope for that. But indeed, the hope failed him.
He hates it. The new format of the show. For the last few recording, he often went home, feeling down every time he watches Ohno tried to win the guest heart. The man tried hard, but he tried even harder. And the result always the same. While he able to win every actress heart in the corner, he can never win Ohno’s. In the end, no matter how hard he tries to hide it, he often shows his jealousy.
And this time, Ohno notices it.
They rarely speak since last time they did. Hence, the moment Nino enters the greenroom, he saw Ohno sitting silently at the single sofa as he was waiting for someone.
“otsukare,” Nino speak as he pack his stuff into his bag. He wanted to leave, away from Ohno. If he could be teleported back to his house by now, he’ll be doing it. he just want to stay away from the man, as staying near together with Ohno will brings him more pain of jealousy.
Ohno didn’t replies him though. Instead he eyes Nino’s movement, stopping the man when he was about to leave the room.
“We need to talk,” Ohno says, causing Nino to stop his steps before he turn to face the man.
“What is it about?”
“You, obviously,” Ohno walks towards Nino.
“Stop there, Oh-chan,”
“Why?”
Nino has no answer for that. He has it actually. But knowing the answer will show how weak he is, he refuses to say it.
“You’re being too obvious today, Nino,” Ohno starts again, this time directly to the topic. Nino chuckles.
“You’re saying it like you did notice it before,”
“Of course I always notice it. That’s why Nino, everything needs to stop. You and your jealousy. And today, the camera caught your teary eyes. You need to move on from us. From me,”
Nino stares at the man’s face. The one he always adore every now and then. The face that he always hopes to see as he woke up every day, but it’s not there. And then the thought of how happy Ohno is with someone new hurts him even more.
It pains him to think that Ohno has move on. But how could he?
Nino lowers his head when he asked the next question.
“Is she beautiful?”
“I refuse to answer that Nino,” Ohno makes a few steps towards the younger man. He brings his hand towards the gamer’s cheek, stroke it lightly as he makes Nino face him. “It’ll only bring you more pain. You should stop doing that,”
“You’re happy aren’t you?” Nino asked another question. Ohno noticed how Nino’s lips shiver as he utters the question. He sighs, feeling sorry for the man.
“I am. More than happy, Nino. That’s the reason why I want you to move on. I want you to leave all the memories we had together, and begin a new life. Find your own happiness with someone who could gives you that,”
Nino chuckled.
“How can you ask me to move on… when the only person who can give me happiness is you?”
Ohno feels like his lips were pasted together that he couldn’t reply the man with anything. He wasn’t sure of how many minutes have passed as they stayed silent, staring at each other. He notice how Nino’s eyes start teary again. He wanted to wipe the tears on the man’s cheek, but then he remembered.
He was the one to end their relation. He was the one who begin all the distances. And he feels that he has no right to wipe away the man’s sadness when he’s the reason to it. But to say yes to Nino’s need, he can’t do it too, when he already asked for someone’s hand.
“Nino…” he wanted to say more. But Nino puts his finger on Ohno’s lips, asking him to stop talking even a word. Nino closes the distance between them; ohno could feel Nino’s breath on his skin.
“for this one time, Oh-chan. please… let me…”
Nino doesn’t finish his word though; he lowered his lips, meeting Ohno’s lips. It wasn’t an intimate kiss. It’s just a lips meeting another and Nino departs after a while. Ohno notice how another trail of tears from the gamer eyes falling to the floor.
“If that is your wish…” Nino pauses, faking a smile on his lips. “If that will give you a happiness, I will move on, Oh-chan. as one final happiness that I can give you. But no one can force someone to hate. Not when you’re the one that gave all the meaning of life to me,”
Nino takes a few steps backwards, turned around facing his back to the man.
“We’re still friend, aren’t we?” is Nino’s last question. He didn’t wait for the man to answer before he leaves Ohno alone in the greenroom.
Because he knows, no matter what answer that ohno will gives, it will always gives pain to him. He’s no longer Ohno Satoshi’s lover. They’re friend. Or maybe not.
