Fic: [Arashi] Just A Little Relief

Title: Just A Little Relief
Pairing: Sakumiya (i blame [livejournal.com profile] ferinough for this completely)
Rating PG-13?
Summary:

Is there a time when you're yourself? Not anyone else but yourself?
There is. Speaking ill of someone sometimes. Setting myself free of something... then going to sleep.
(Ninomiya Kazunari, Jounetsu Tairiku)

"Nino?" Sho asks under his breath, but the other man doesn't answer. They're on a late-night train and even though there aren't many people around right now, it wouldn't do to be recognized. Nino is a pro at riding trains. Even if people notice him he acts like there's nothing to it. Sho can't remember the last time he'd ridden a train just to get somewhere. He guesses that's the difference.

"Nino?" There's no answer, but Sho wasn't expecting one. The lights of the tunnel flash dappled yellow over Nino's strained cheeks, his tired closed eyes and tightly drawn mouth. There's a hidden anger in Nino's arm where it presses up against Sho's side.

Nino does this sometimes. Sho doesn't mind.

"Sho." Sho looks at Nino's fingers where they're gripping his shoulder too tightly. "This is the stop."

"Ah, okay."

The streets are stained yellow and Nino's house has that sleepy house-feel to it. They enter quietly and slip their shoes off just the same. There's a covered plate of food in the middle of the table looking lost and lonely and the card leaning against it says, Wake me up in the morning before you leave, Love, 'Kaachan. Nino runs a fingertip over his mother's writing before he picks up the plate and sets it in the refrigerator.

The light spilling out of the device into the kitchen is a bright yellow.

"Come on, Sho-chan." They head to Nino's room (messily ordered and with the air of something abandoned in mid-pursuit, lyric pages, music notes, stacked packs of magic cards) and undress down to boxers and undershirts. The two of them lie down on Nino's small bed, shoulder to shoulder. A yellow light slips between the gap of curtains and paints a stripe over poster Matsujun's smile and Aiba's grin at the opposite wall.

They breathe quietly together before Nino turns over to face him, pillowing his cheek on his forearm. That's when Sho knows it's going to start.

"I don't like that director. If he didn't waste so much time between takes it'd be fine, but it takes forever. And did he say anything useful today? It was all 'blah, blah, blah,' like I need to hear that kind of shit when I have three other jobs after that. I hate him."

Sho sighs. He ducks his head to kiss the corner of Nino's mouth and puts his hand on Nino's warm hip. Nino is a nervous bundle of tension next to him, hurt and in some ways childish but completely serious and just Nino. "That's fine."

"Yeah," Nino answers vaguely, turning into Sho's touch. "Well, maybe it's only dislike." He lifts his fingers to the light creeping across the room as if he can touch it. Then he ducks his head and gives a chuff of laughter, like he can't believe himself. He climbs up on his elbows and then moves to cover Sho's body with his own. "Sho." He leans down.

Sho closes his eyes and opens his mouth for him.

Nino complains about many things, but he is never one who objects to the director or gives his opinions. They've pretty much grown up together, Sho and Nino, and Sho can understand why Nino feels it's safe to say these things with him. Even if it's just for a while, Sho is grateful.

He opens his eyes as Nino breaks the kiss, licking a hot trail down Sho's neck. Sho shivers and then he flips them until Nino is under him, wrists pinned to the pillow by Sho's hands. He leans down until they're nose to nose and draws out slowly, "Stuuupid."

Nino smiles abashedly. Sho brushes a knuckle over the corner of that smile. The yellow light of the rising sun fills the room. As Nino unfurls underneath him with gasps and moans, tension and anger draining in the heat surrounding them, Sho knows he's letting Nino be a little bit free.

I wasn't sure where I wanted to respond to this, your journal or shoneen, but I figure as long as you get my comment it doesn't matter.

OMGImage

I love this so much. I'm such a sap, love when they get to be themselves, and the way Nino waited until he was absolutely sure he could let go and say what he felt! It's just wonderful. AND YAY IMPLIED PRETTY SMEX. ImageImage

Ever since that maid thing (lolol), Sakumiya's been bouncing around in my head. hahaha i'm so easy

Me too! I'm such a sap. I can't help but write slow love stories or sappy friendships or super slow/sappy friendshiplove oh goddd. And Nino has so much attitude but really, he's all on the downlow when actually making opinions. Interesting guy. Thanks for reading! Image

o/t: IT'S GOTTEN SO HOT HERE T_T

This is so real and sweet and I just love it so much :)

I love that Sho didn't say anything, that he didn't have to and knowing that he's listening just makes my heart flutter.

Aw, thank you for reading! :)

My heart's fluttering too. Image

Sakumiya is totally one of my favorite pairings, and it doesn't get represented nearly enough as I'd like. This was totally beautiful. I liked the reoccurrence of all the yellow light--it made it feel like they were in a slightly different world, which in a way they were. :) Thanks!

(Let me use my golden-light Sho icon!)

[identity profile] floweranza.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, me too. Well, I've recently gotten more interested in writing the pairing, in any case. Image I've been looking for good Sakumiya fics to read, but it doesn't seem there are too many. Image

Haha, I'm glad someone pointed that out~! Colours become more vibrant and noticeable when it's the sleepy hours of the night. (Though I might've pushed it a bit...) Also, when I write srs Arashi fic, it's better for me to make their surroundings a bit surreal instead of trying to butt into some reality. SRS BUSINESS.

Thank you for reading! Image (Yaaay, Sho's a star.)

I have a tendency to lean towards vibrant colours when I write too, so maybe that's why I noticed, but I liked the feel. It did, absolutely, add surreality. :)

Sakumiya fics also come in the form of Yamataro fic, if you've tried that avenue!

Now I am going to go see if you've written anything else. *g*

[identity profile] floweranza.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yamataro fic is fantastic fic. Image

I've written a few little things, but anything longer is still a WIP and I'm slower as a writer than the process of evolution. [slinks back into her cave]

Can I please just explode now? Please. I promise it'll be pretty and full of firework like marshmallows or something.

Have I told you lately that I love youuu~

Cough. YOU MAKE ME SO HAPPY.

I've been craving Sakumiya for the past... I don't know how long, but I have been craving it like it's the answer to some gaping hole in my heart/stomach/bladder/insert organ here... And it's the cure to my terminal disease or something. <3333333333

Also I've been upset about the NinoxMasami rumour thing and I dunno, you just made that fly away in this. Adn I love your Nino so much here. He just... IS, in this, and and... Ahhh, idek you make him so real.

So.. Yea.
... *gives rainbow cookie*

DSKJFHDKJGH long comment makes ME happy! [flails]

You can totally explode if it rains down marshmallows and free Arashi merchandise Image and Russian cuisine (i can't get any here ok ;n;)!!

I've been craving Sakumiya too! But it turns out it's much more rare than I thought. :( And well, rumours are rumours, but no one can argue against ShoNeeners' long-time BFFery. ImageImage I'm glad my Nino worked out, too. :D

Thanks so much for reading and commenting! [munches cookie] 幸せ〜

This is really beautiful! Btw, this is my first time reading a SakuMiya I think :D

[identity profile] floweranza.livejournal.com 2009-04-18 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, thank you! I'm glad I didn't disappoint. X3 Next mission for you: go out and find some more of them and then report back to me.

Thanks for reading! Image

[identity profile] arisa-draconis.livejournal.com 2009-04-19 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Give me some recommendations???

I shall find some and report back to you! :DDD

[identity profile] floweranza.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
OTL late reply

I-I don't have that many! [fails so bad Image] The three I do have are in my memories, though. I'm sure there are more Sakumiya fics out there, but those are the things I read and liked. Obviously the only solution is for more people to write more fics. :DImage

Yaaay, please do!

Hee, YOU! This is so pretty, and just Image

Yaaay! Image Thanks for reading! XD

[identity profile] still-ciircee.livejournal.com 2009-04-21 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, this was pretty! There's a sort of tired, weary feel to it and Nino bitches and Sho calls him stupid. ♥ Plus, I really do think that Nino is the most 'himself' when he's alone with the members of Arashi and Sho in particular (if they planned to quit together, obviously Sho had to have heard the arguments). So this was really sweet, seeing Sho take care of him.

[identity profile] floweranza.livejournal.com 2009-04-22 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, thank you! That's the feeling I wanted to get across. :) I was pretty chuffed to hear on SCP that Nino come over to Sho's house because they both wanted to quit and they had a boy!sleepover where they bitched about their futures together. It had to have been a pretty serious (and frightening, I'd guess) prospect for them. Anyway, I'm just a huge sucker for men having good friendships with each other orzzzz.

Thanks for reading! Image
