ciirceeBecause I am LAME, okay? OKAY?!
Four times Jun just doesn't get it and one time he does.
1. He's not sure why, but it's been bothering him.
"Aiba-chan!" the fans are screaming. "Aiba-chan!"
"Yay!"
Jun slings an arm around Aiba's waist when it looks like Aiba is going to vault the barrier to get to the fans. "We have a plane to catch," he says when Aiba wriggles around to pout at him. He keeps dragging Aiba to the van even though Sho and Nino and Captain have paused to wave and smile and close the distance.
2. He isn't sure why it bothers him. "Aiba-chan," Jun scolds, "quit crowding Nino like that."
Aiba looks up at him. "Eh?"
Nino smirks and holds his DS over his head. "He's not crowding. He's cuddling."
Sho smiles down at the make-up counter which Jun only sees because they are right next to each other having their hair done for this appearance. Jun ignores him. "If you keep cuddling Nino, you're going to make Captain jealous."
Which is probably the biggest lie he's ever told—it's even bigger than the time he was working the concerts, a drama, and a stage play all at one time and told Sho that he yes he HAD slept in the past seventy-two hours—because Captain getting jealous just doesn't happen.
Aiba is staring at him. Really staring at him. Jun has never been so happy about the call to wait positions as he is right then.
"Me first!" Nino says, putting down his DS and standing up.
"No, me!" Aiba shouts and leaps on Nino's back.
"Idiot," says Jun with a glare. "You're—" 'too big' he's going to say except Nino already has been squashed to the ground. "Going to make Captain jealous," he repeats because there are some positions you can't be in without them looking bad.
Captain blinks at him and then smiles. Not in a good way, either. "Pile up!" he announces sweetly and lays down on Aiba's back. It takes him a long time to get comfortable and the whole time Aiba is laughing and Nino is shrieking.
"Paste~!" Nino shrieks. "Sho-chan, help me! They're squashing me into paste!"
Jun watches Sho walk casually past Nino's outstretched hands. "You can be the paste that glues us all together," he says as he goes.
"Glue…" Aiba twists suddenly, lithe and dangerous. "Nino-chan! Glue me to Captain! To Captain!"
Ignoring the three giggling morons on the floor, Jun joins Sho in the line to go to wait positions.
3. He can't figure out why it's bothersome. "He's not a drawing table," he tells Captain, leaning over Captain's shoulder in the studio's resting room.
Captain rubs the side of his thumb against a charcoal line. "Hm," he says.
"Aiba—" he stops when he realizes that Aiba is asleep beneath Captain's sketch pad. "He should be sleeping someplace more comfortable," he says.
Captain blinks at him. "Nino never complains about my lap."
Jun shakes Aiba awake and ushers him to the other couch, muttering about Nino's likes under his breath while he gets Aiba settled.
Aiba beams at him sleepily. "Captain's lap is really super-comfortable," he says. "Maximum comfortable!"
"Shut up and go to sleep properly," Jun tells him.
4. He can't say why it makes him angry like this.
"Masaki baby," Sho murmurs, petting Aiba's hair back from his face.
Aiba snuggles into Sho's arms with a wordless purr.
Jun grits his teeth and kicks his shoes off loudly. "I'm here," he says pointedly; as though Sho had not, in fact, called out for him to come in just moments ago.
"Yep, there you are," Captain giggles at him.
"Did you start drinking without me?" Jun asks, somewhat needlessly because with Nino out-of-sight there is no other reason for Captain's flushed face and giggles.
"Yes," Nino answers, coming in from Sho's kitchen with a bottle of sake in each hand. "You're late." He flops down on the floor next to Captain and offers Jun one of the bottles in his hand.
Jun takes it and drinks right from the bottle, ignoring the way Nino chants 'chug, chug, chug' at him. "What's up?' he asks when he lowers the bottle to take a breath. Captain and Nino are attempting to drink out of the same bottle at the same time so Jun addresses his question to the empty space just above Aiba's head on Sho's left shoulder. "With everybody," he clarifies.
Captain begins a story about working with Hey!Say!Jump on their new dance routine. It's long and so full of pauses that, if it were anybody else, it would make Jun worry about early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Nino is playing with Captain's hands; folding his fingers down, splaying them out, making a shape like a gun and shooting randomly around the room while Captain talks.
"Interesting," Jun says when Captain finally winds down. The story has meandered off into some weird realm about chainsaws and actually shows no sign of stopping without intervention. Sho and Aiba are still imitating one person on the sofa, Sho still crooning 'Masaki baby' every few seconds.
Jun looks around the room and drinks absently.
"Sho baby," Aiba says suddenly, tipping his forehead against Sho's, so close that their eyelashes are tangling.
"Quit canoodling," Jun instructs Sho and Aiba. "I see enough of it with those two," he kicks Captain and Nino to make his point. Nino's smile is foxlike and sly.
"It's not like that," Aiba says, tightening his arms around Sho's neck.
"That's what they say," he says, kicking Nino harder.
"Ow," Captain says belatedly.
"It's different," Sho says and his smile is something soft and sweet and kind.
"Oh?"
Sho's smile becomes more like Nino's—smirk-ish, with a wise and all-knowing edge. "Yes."
"Two words," says Nino, laughing as Aiba lets out a whimper and buries his face in Sho's chest. "Captain. Kangaroo."
Jun moves over to Sho's sofa and begins to pat Aiba's back with him while Sho goes back to cooing 'Masaki baby'.
5. He knows why it makes him feel like this. And it makes him furious. "I don't want this," he says through clenched teeth.
Aiba leans into his personal space. "Then why do you watch me?" he asks. With anybody else Jun would have called the move 'coy' but this is Aiba who is genuinely curious about everything and wants to learn everything he doesn't know.
Jun puts his hands up on Aiba's arms, meaning to push him away but unable to do it. "I can't help it," he says. "You stand there and…" but there is no 'and'. Because he's Aiba and he's there is all that it takes.
Aiba smiles and his fingers are cool when the come up and rest lightly on Jun's cheek. "Then close your eyes," he says simply.
Without thinking, Jun does and when he does, Aiba kisses him again.
Eyes shut tightly, Jun kisses him back.
*****
1: I swear, I did not make up 'Masaki baby'. Sho actually calls him that in the bit with the paper boat going to Tokyo Bay.
2: Though this fic is Aiba/Jun I cannot help but think that they're all so gay with (and for) each other that most Arashi fics should probably read like some sort of group cuddle-orgy.
3: Yes, I pick on Jun a lot--but it's not like I started it.
