Summary: "I promise you to always be by your side… I promise to never hurt you… I promise to never let you down…" This was the promise Sho had made to Masaki. Seven years have passed since then and Sho knows positively that he still loves his partner more than his life. But sometimes life has unexpected surprises. Will he be able to keep his promise or not?

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the boys unfortunately

Sho woke up feeling something on him. He couldn’t help but smile when he realized what it was. It had been so many years since he had felt this particular weight. He didn’t move in an attempt to keep Masaki asleep. He could feel his hot breath against his chest and he felt his heart beating faster.

The other snuggled even closer to his husband still being in the dreamland. Sho could see a small smile on his face and that made him feel relaxed.

At first, he was worried if Masaki had become too upset after last night’s revelations but after having cried a lot it seemed as if he had taken a great burden off. He had the chance to speak with his brother and perhaps it could mean a new chapter in their lives.

I love you so much baby… so much… Sho’s hands reached for Masaki’s hair, brushing it softly.

“What a pleasant way to wake up Sho-chan…” Masaki opened his eyes slowly but he didn’t move away from his husband.

“Good morning, my love. Did you sleep well?” Sho’s tone showed all his concern.

“For some reason, I did sleep well Sho-chan… Perhaps better than years…” Sho kissed him on the top of his head, causing Masaki a frown.

“Baby what is it?”

“Why did Sho-chan kiss me there?” Masaki complained.

Sho sat up better on the bed, a little bewildered. Had he done something wrong?

Masaki muffled a small laugh. “Sho-chan should kiss me here” he said in a mischievous way as he pointed his lips.

It took some seconds for Sho to realize what Masaki had just implied. He moved so he could get on top of his husband, gripping both his wrists over his head. “I see Masaki woke up all naughty… Don’t provoke me especially since you lied to me…”

Masaki bit his lower lip as he recognized the playful tone of his husband. He had missed it so much… now that he was relaxed, he could finally see clearly how much he had missed this part of his husband.

“And what if I am?” he replied at the same tone.

Sho smirked. “Oh… so you admit it…” Masaki gasped as he saw his husband leaning close that he could feel his hot breath against his lips. “…then does that mean that I should punish you?”

“I’m all yours…” Masaki said, his voice revealing all the lust he had inside. Even if he couldn’t feel how he used to, he could feel the heat in his body… he could feel the excitement…

Sho said nothing more but attacked Masaki’s lips, claiming them forcefully. As the time passed by he could feel his member coming to life, screaming for attention. He looked at his husband who was now naked, panting hard because of their intense make out session, and as if he needed permission he took his hand leading it slowly towards his erection.

“Sho-chan…” Masaki said in a low voice. “I… I want you to be inside of me…”

Sho’s eyes bulged. “No… Masaki… we had tried… we… I…”

Masaki hushed him with his hand. “Then it was then and now it’s now… Please… I want it…” and with that started spreading butterfly kisses wherever he could reach, making Sho moan against his bare skin.

Sho wasn’t sure if he should penetrate his husband but he could also see the determined look on his face.

“We don’t have any lube…”

“We do…” Masaki said fast. “In the left drawer… That’s what I had gone to take last night… please…”

Sho kissed him on the lips and took the small bottle in his hands. He spread carefully his husband’s legs and found the small hole. He pushed one finger carefully and he could feel the muscles to clench at the intrusion. Turning his gaze at Masaki he could see that there was no trace of pain but reassurance, as Masaki nodded smiling. He kept on with the preparations until he could feel that it was loosened enough for him.

He applied some more lube on his throbbing member and positioned himself.

“I’ll enter you now ok?” his voice was soft, looking at Masaki, searching for any sign of displeasure or trace of uncertainty. But there was nothing like that.

“Sho-chan please…” Sho took a deep breath and started burying himself inch by inch inside the small hole. It had been so long since he had done it that he had to use all of his strength not to thrust hard in once. After being all inside he waited for a few seconds like he used to do, when Masaki could feel.

“I’ll start moving now baby…” his voice had become hoarse.

Masaki said nothing in return and just smashed their lips together. It was all that Sho needed. He started thrusting in a steady rhythm, gradually accelerating. To his surprise he could see Masaki sweat, have his eyes closed and his mouth open like he used to. Could it be that he could feel something? But his member was flaccid…

“Sho-chan…” Masaki opened his eyes and looked at his husband with teary eyes.

Sho gasped at that… he wished he could stop but he was in a point that his body had taken the control leaving him no chance but to continue thrusting even faster till he sent his seed deep inside Masaki, collapsing on top of his husband. He couldn’t believe that he had actually had sex with his husband and that it didn’t feel weird. He could see it once again. It was his denial… it was his own fault… because he was seeing and treating Masaki as a disabled. But still Masaki had cried…

After a few minutes, he moved to the side looking concerned at his husband. “Masaki… my love are you alright? Did by any chance hurt you? Tell me… Why are you crying?”

“I… I don’t know but I… even though I didn’t feel you moving inside of me… I could feel… there… it was tiny… but I could somehow feel it... the spot inside of me…”

Sho felt tears coming to surface as he took Masaki into his arms, hugging him tightly. “My love… my love…” he couldn’t find the words to express his relief… his happiness. “I thought it was my imagination… my own desire to see you like that… but it was true… it was true…” his voice trembled as he spoke the last words.

Masaki gripped Sho’s arms and looked at him in his eyes. “Sho-chan… Maybe it was my mind playing with my senses… You know as if the memory of what I used to feel had come across… I don’t know… but… I want to go and see the doctors… maybe… they can help us even more… I want us to be like we used to be Sho-chan…”

“We will go everywhere you want my love…” Sho intertwined their fingers together. “We are together in this…”
***

They had just finished their bath and Sho was helping Masaki get dressed but he could feel the worrying state his husband was in.

“Masaki… what’s going on? Something happened?”

Masaki nodded his head negatively. “It’s just Jun… I… We were doing that but Jun… God I’m so stupid… We shouldn’t have done it… I feel awful… I’m such a bad brother… He’s all alone… and we just had this conversation… and I had promised him to have breakfast together… I…”

Sho smiled. “My love… Jun is not alone… Don’t worry”

Masaki turned to look at his husband confused. “What do you mean that he’s not alone?”

“I called Satoshi last night as I was waiting for you… I didn’t tell him of course anything but I just needed a friend… and he knew about” Sho gulped as he looked down at his lap “Jun… but he told me not to worry about him and focus on you… he said that Jun will be more than fine”

Masaki moved closer to Sho. “How could he be so sure?”

Sho placed his hand on top of Masaki’s. “It seems that Jun met a guy, Nino… a good friend of Satoshi and that… this Nino really liked him. Satoshi told me that Nino’s here – he’s the one that informed him to come – and from what it seems he wouldn’t leave Jun alone… no matter what. Satoshi wouldn’t speak like that if he wasn’t sure… You know him…”

Masaki was frowned. “Yes… that’s true… but still I have to call Jun! I have to make sure he’s fine!” The phone rang many times. “Jun… God tell me you’re ok… I’m so stupid… Jun…” he kept mumbling himself.

Almost one minute had passed when his call was answered. “Jun! At last! Don’t make me worry like that again… I thought that something happened to you… You had promised me to call me and you didn’t… and”

“Nii-chan…” a sleepy voice spoke. “I told you that I was fine… I wouldn’t do another mistake after what you passed through because of me… We can talk later ok? I think I might skip breakfast but we can still get some lunch together... I mean with Sho-san as well… I… I have someone to introduce! Bye!” Jun hang up before Masaki could say anything.

He looked at his phone smiling. “I’m just glad you’re fine Jun…”
……………………………………….


Jun looked at his phone smiling. He almost laughed when he heard the worried voice of his brother. It might have been a very difficult night for him but he wasn’t going to do anything stupid. He had tried it in the past and it had only caused more pain. This time he was determined, no matter how difficult it was, to fight. But this time he wasn’t alone… he had his brother… and he also had Nino. He caressed Nino’s slim body, tracing down his spine with his fingers. He still couldn’t believe that he had met someone that treated him like Nino did.

“Princess… Don’t tell me that you’re eager for another round… I won’t be able to move if you fuck me again… unless if you want the other way around… You know I’d never say no to you… besides you do scream out loud when I’m buried deep inside you…” Jun laughed as he heard the playful tone.

He knew that the other joked but he bet that Nino was truly hurt. Was it the fact that he was desperately in need of love, confirmation? He just wanted to feel close with the other; something that had led to many rounds of admittedly hot sex till the first hours of the morning.

Jun only leaned closer and brushed his hand through Nino’s hair. “Are you hurt? I’m sorry…”

Nino opened his eyes slowly and smiled, as he nodded negatively. “Ok… I admit it, it is a bit sore but I enjoyed it every single second of it Jun… I’m fine… or is it that you are tricking me into telling you how amazing you were?!”

Jun could feel tears building up in his eyes. Nino looked at him and sat up better on the bad taking Jun in his arms. “Princess… Why do you cry now? I thought you were not a cry baby…” he tried to keep his teasing tone but the sweetness couldn’t be hidden.

“I don’t know why… I… I just feel complete… I should feel awful but for some reason I feel rather happy… and I don’t know if I deserve all of this… If I deserve you…” Nino pecked the top of his head and brought him even closer.

“I’m not a saint Jun… You know… I’m the one who dragged you out of the club and without knowing who you were and fucked you hard. Remember?”

“Yes but still…” Jun’s voice trembled.

“Do you remember when I told you that I have been where you were?”

Jun sniffed a bit as he turned his gaze on Nino’s face. “Yes…” his voice was heard almost as a whisper.

“Well… let’s say that I would have not been here now, speaking to you, holding you like that in my arms, if it wasn’t for a specific person… he showed me that everyone can find courage… everyone can find hope… even if you feel there’s nothing for you left… I was weak… but you were stronger than me Jun…”

“I… I want to hear your story…” Jun whispered, avoiding Nino’s eyes.

Nino looked at him a little bewildered.

“What?! You heard mine… You were listening to me for hours… I want to know about you…” Jun said more firmly this time.

Nino sighed not really wanting to give up. He knew that Jun was having a really hard time, even if he wanted to pretend he wasn’t, and he wasn’t completely convinced if it was the right thing to do.

Jun could see the hesitation in Nino’s eyes. “Please… I want to know everything about…” his voice lowered as he spoke the next words in a rather shyly tone “my boyfriend…”

Nino couldn’t help but feel hundreds of butterflies in his stomach as he heard Jun’s last words. “Then you have to promise me princess that you won’t start crying! I won’t bear a cry baby! I’m telling you!”

Jun nodded his head quickly. “I promise! I promise! I just want to know you… and… perhaps… see the world through your own perspective… I want to find that courage as well…”

“Ok… princess… Your words are my command!” Nino replied teasingly trying to ease a bit the atmosphere.
***

It was already lunch time and surprisingly Jun had heard everything Nino had narrated without feeling worse. He did have cried but it was mostly to get rid of all the negative feelings that he had packed inside of him. They had passed their time cuddling in bed. They were talking about random things; like their favorite book or music; about their hobbies.
 
“You like Harry Potter?!” Nino exclaimed surprised. “That’s totally not cool… I guess you’re more of a princess than I thought!”

Jun pouted not being able to find something to talk back. “It’s my fault that I even spoke sincerely to you!” he tried to stand up but Nino brought him back to his former position next to him.

“Sorry… I was kidding! I liked Lord of the Rings so that makes us even?! I just thought you’d be more into something different… I’m sorry Princess!” Nino said between his muffled laughs.

Jun wanted to burst into laughs but held himself from doing so. “You know… you’ve been calling me princess since yesterday. I admit I was too emotional to be able to say something but I swear if you call me princess one more time your nickname will be hobbit!”

Nino’s eyes narrowed. “I’m not that short!”

“And I’m not that fragile!” Jun replied the same stubbornly.

Nino made Jun lie down on his back. “Then how about I call you J?” Nino leaned close to his ear and whispered. “How does that sound to you?”

Jun felt excitement running down his spine. He was ready to touch those soft, tempting lips that were so dangerously close to his but the moment he was ready to do so his phone rang.

Nino moved away and handed him his phone. Jun looked at the screen and saw the caller’s id. “Yes? Ni-chan?!”

“Jun!!! Are you ok?”

“Yes ni-chan! I told you I’m fine! You know I’m an adult not a kid!”

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… Listen… How about we meet in half an hour at the main restaurant?”

Jun looked at Nino who reassured him by kissing softly his shoulder. “Yes! It sounds perfect! See you then ni-chan!”

Jun lowered his head as his hand was tracing the patterns of the sheets. “Nino?”

“Hmm?”

“I want you to come with me and have lunch with my brother and… and his husband…”

Nino wasn’t sure about that. “Jun isn’t this going to be weird? I mean…”

“No!” Jun snapped. “I want them to meet you… you’re the main reason that I was able to…” he wiped away the tear that made its way down his cheek with the back of his hand. “Don’t make me say those kinds of things… Nino… Please come it’s important for me… I know it’s kind of fast but I really want you to be there… please!”

Nino cupped his face and pecked his lips.

“Whatever my…” Jun goggled, expecting to hear princess “J wants!” Nino said finally and stormed out of the bed. “C’mon! We have to get ready! I want to give a good impression!”
…………………………………………………..


“Can you please stop being this nervous?” Jun asked Nino as they entered the restaurant.

“Yes… it’s easy for you to say…”

“It’s not like you come to my family to ask my hand you know!” Jun whispered trying to muffle a laugh.

When Nino saw two figures waiting for them a few meters away and knowing positively that Jun wouldn’t be able to react in any way, he leaned closer and whispered “So you admit yourself you’re a princess…” Jun felt his face burning out of embarrassment but he could do nothing as he heard the cheerful voice of Masaki calling him.

He took a deep breath and ignoring Nino and his comment advanced to him. “Hello ni-chan!” he turned his head slowly towards Sho, not knowing exactly what he was supposed to say or how he was supposed to behave around him. In fact he didn’t know if he even had the right to talk to him at all.

Sho seemed to read his mind as he stretched out his hand. “Hello Jun-kun. I’m Sho. Nice to meet you”

Jun looked at him and then back to Masaki who just smiled at him. Trembling he returned the handshake.

“Nice to meet you too Sho-san”

Nino came closer guessing how Jun should feel at the moment and cleared his throat. “When exactly do you intend to introduce me darling?”

Jun blushed but brought him closer. “Ni-chan, Sho-san, I want you to meet Nino… he’s my b- boyfriend…”

Masaki hit playfully Jun’s arm. “Don’t be so shy…”

Nino wanted to laugh seeing Jun having an even darker shade of red on his cheeks. “I’m Ninomiya Kazunari. Nice to meet you” Nino bowed, praying that everything would go smoothly.

As the time passed by, he felt how wrong he was. It seemed as if Jun’s brother was an angel and his husband was very caring towards him. Oh-chan was right… they do love each other very much… As a reflection he grabbed Jun’s hand and squeezed it softly.

They talked about many things and it seemed that the two brothers would constantly speaking about things that found cute or annoying or things they would like to do in the future… it seemed as if they were in a quest to explore and find out more about each other. He could see how Jun’s eyes were sparkling. He had always considered them beautiful but now that he could see them so bright he thought they were beyond perfection.

“What are you looking at?” Jun asked him flushed.

Nino smiled. “You…” and pecked his nose.

Masaki cleared his throat. “Jun… Nino-kun… we could go and have some fun with the snow… of course if you want to…” 

Jun looked at his brother excited. “I would love that ni-chan!”
***

“You’re so late!!! I told you we would win!” Jun said out loud as he and Nino reached the finishing line first.

Masaki just turned his head the other way pouting. Jun laughed and went closer to him. “Come on ni-chan… don’t be sad…” Jun didn’t have the chance to say anything more as he felt a snowball landing on his face and the echoing laugh of his brother.

He cleared the snow off his face so that he could see Masaki clearly. “Ni-chan!” Masaki just showed him his tongue. “Now you’ll see!” Jun made a small snowball himself and threw it on Masaki.

Sho was sitting a little further watching the two brothers playing like small kids. Perhaps they needed to play  like that… it was what they had missed as children and he couldn’t help but feel warm watching them so carefree and so happy. It felt weird… after so many months of a nightmare, somehow he felt as if he was a part of a dream. He knew that that there were a lot of things in their souls… like his… but he also knew that time was the only one who could help the wounds heal… time and love.

“Sakurai-san?!” it was Nino who spoke.

Sho turned around and looked at the smaller guy who was sitting close to him. “Aiba-san seems like an angel… you’re a lucky man!”

Sho smiled. “And Jun-kun… Now I can see that he is also one… maybe he was lost but I believe that you can help him find his way back…”

Nino looked down on his lap. “Me?! How can you be so sure Sakurai-san? I mean you just m-”

“Satoshi spoke of you with the best words Ninomiya-kun. And trust me he never fails to read people… I think that you and Jun are made for each other… I can somehow see me and Masaki in you… Just make sure that you never hide your feelings… I believe then that everything will be just fine!”

Nino turned his gaze to the two brothers who kept themselves busy with the snow and then up the blue sky. I do hope… I do want everything to be fine…
………………………………………….


One month had passed since the revelations and Jun was still living in the apartment that Sho had rent for him when he sent him away but he wished he was out of there. It kept reminding him of the past and it was like a torture. So he would usually pass most of his time with Nino.

Nino was working at a café and his shifts were during the evenings. He, on the other hand had enrolled a drama school, after Masaki’s intense persistence. It was one of the facts that he had actually not lied about. He loved playing… perhaps because it helped him understand other people. He wasn’t convinced whether it was worth it or not, since he was not the one paying for it but his brother didn’t actually let him an option. 

After classes, he would head to Nino’s café. It was so amusing to be able to watch his boyfriend being all cute and polite with the customers when in reality he was probably cursing inside. He would wait until his shift was over and then they would walk to Nino’s apartment. It was small and over-packed with unnecessary, for Jun, things but it was comfy.
***

They had just finished dinner when Nino brought a bottle of wine and two glasses. Jun looked at him a little bewildered.

“Are we celebrating anything?”

Nino smirked. “Does it have to be a celebration in order to drink wine? Where’s your spontaneity?” Jun was led to the sofa.

“It’s just unusual for you… You’re not the romantic type…”

“But you are…” Nino replied and pecked his lips before leaning forward to open the bottle. He poured some in a glass and gave it to Jun. “Here, baby”

A sound of clinking glasses was heard and soon the two of them sipped some of the wine. It was red and despite its sweetness the aftertaste was quite intense.

“Do you like it?” Nino asked as he brought Jun closer to him.

“Yes… but…”

“I chose it especially for you… You know… I wanted it to be sweet and intense in the same time… just like my J!”

“Nino…” Jun snapped. He was trying desperately to hide his blush. He wasn’t used to show his emotions and it had been too much time since he was able to be his real self freely.

The smaller man had his gaze fixed on his glass. “Jun, will you move in with me?”

Jun gasped. He didn’t expect to hear that.

“I know that it’s very soon and th-” Nino didn’t have the chance to finish his words as two hands came to cup his face and two lips lock on top of his.

They heard a glass breaking on the floor but no one seemed to care as they deepened the kiss even more.

“You know that will leave its trace…” Nino managed to say as Jun was now devouring his neck and lower his collarbones.

“Let it be… it will be my house as well…”

“Jun…”

“Oh shut up and kiss me!” was all Jun that replied before attack his boyfriend once more.
***

“Jun, are you sure about this?” Nino asked before starting the engine.

“Yes Nino. I’m sure” Jun’s voice was surprisingly calm.

At first, Nino wasn’t so sure about it but then Jun seemed determined. The trip didn’t last more than two hours. Nino had never been to Chiba before. It was beautiful, the sea, the trees; everything looked so peaceful, yet it made him feel angry that it was the place that had made Jun so miserable.

“I’m really fine Nino!” Jun smiled at him reassuringly, but Nino couldn’t get rid of all these emotions of sadness and anger.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stop by your house?”

Jun shook his head. “No. I saw mum when she had come to visit ni-chan… as for my father I honestly don’t want to do anything with him… Please go there…”

Nino said nothing more and just did what Jun asked him to.  They stepped out of the car. It was late in the evening and the sunrays had become shades of dark red and purple. There seemed to be no one else but them but that was perhaps logical. Most of the people would come in the morning.

Nino could see Jun trembling and took a hold of his hand. “I’m right here Jun…”

Jun took him in front of a rather neglected corner of the cemetery. On the stone he could read the name: Ikuta Toma.

“To- Toma… I finally came…  I hope you’re not mad at me for not coming earlier… tell me… how are you? I hope you have many friends where you are. Have you made any friends? I’m sure you have, just don’t…” Jun had to wipe away a few tears. “…start with those jokes of yours… they were always bad… ok? And take care of yourself… You always pretended to be stronger than you really were…” he took off the small pendant.

“Do you remember this? I had stolen it from you… I’m sorry… I think it’s time to give it back to you… Are you happy with that or perhaps you don’t care anymore? Yeah… I’m sure you have you already found someone else, haven’t you? You were always a big flirt… The guy… he better worth it ok? As for me, I’m fine… Now I’m fine… and I want to introduce you to someone…” Jun took Nino’s hand. “This is Nino… my boyfriend… he’s a great guy… I’m sure you’d say the same if you got to know him… I’m… I’m happy Toma… He’s treasuring me like you always did… and I… love him… but I want you to know that even if I love him you will always be my first love… one of my sweetest memories…”

Jun placed the pendant carefully in the ground and covered it with some soil. “Goodbye Toma…”

Nino squeezed Jun’s hand as they slowly walked back to their car.

“Are you ok?” Nino asked as he caressed Jun’s cheek.

Jun looked at him. There were still some traces of dried tears but he smiled. “I am Nino… because I have you…”
………………………………………..


Sho had just returned back home from his work. “Baby I’m back…”

For some weird reason there was no reply. Sho frowned. “Masaki?!”

“Yes baby… I’m in the bathroom!” Sho took off his jacket and loosened his tie as he stepped into the bedroom. He could feel the hot steams coming out from the bathroom.

“Will you rub my back?” Masaki asked, tilting his head at one side as his husband entered, making the latter gulp. “You know you want it…” Masaki said as a small smirk appeared on his mouth.

Sho was already gotten rid of his clothes and immediately jumped into the bathtub bringing Masaki against his torso. “You know you’re becoming dangerously aggressive lately…”

Masaki lowered his head. “It’s… it’s not my fault Sho-chan… Please… Don’t make me feel more embarrassed than I already am…” Masaki whined.

Sho tried to muffle a laugh as he pecked the back of Masaki’s head. “I’m just kidding baby… I like to see you get lost like that!”

Masaki pouted and hit a bit Sho’s arm. “You’re cruel Sho-chan!”

It had been almost seven months since they had been back from Sapporo and Masaki had started a special therapy that consisted of some sessions in the hospital where they were trying to activate the nerves with the help of electrodes and other stuff that neither of them could fully understand, in combination of pills. Of course finding the proper dose was still difficult, something that could result to an either apathetic or a horny Masaki. It wasn’t that he had an erection every time they had sex but it certainly had helped him get some kind of pleasure.

They stayed in the hot water together relaxing. During the last months they had worked a lot to come closer and get over whatever difficulties might have come across.

“Sho-chan… I have something to tell you…” Masaki mumbled causing Sho to open his eyes.

“What is it baby?” the latter asked as his hands traced his husband’s torso in the water.

“I’m thinking to get back to my job… I want… I want to work again. I know it will be probably hard at first but I want to give it a try”

Sho’s heart skipped a bit at the hearing of that. He got off the bathtub and took Masaki in his arms.

“What are you doing?” Masaki asked half confused and half amused.

“This… we need to celebrate it!”

Masaki wrapped his arms around Sho’s neck. “Do you have any ideas?”

Sho smirked as he led Masaki to their bedroom. “A few pass my mind… Interested in finding out?”

Masaki bit his lower lip. “Always…”

Sho didn’t need to hear anything else. He landed on top of his husband and tried to show him how much he loved him… what Masaki meant to him… Every touch… every kiss, every single moment they were becoming one was a proof of their love.
***

“I want to celebrate like to have big dinner… You know with Satoshi-kun and Akiko-chan, Jun and Nino-kun… Everyone! Can we do that?” Masaki looked at his husband with eyes full of hope.

“Of course we can my love!” Sho smiled and nibbled playfully Masaki’s nose. “Whatever you want! Oh! And about the other thing… I’m absolutely with you!”

Masaki couldn’t believe his ears. He felt tears building up in his eyes as he hugged his husband tightly.

“Thank you Sho-chan! Thank you so much!”
…………………………………………..


“Oh my God! You know you’ve become one beautiful little miss?! Yes you are… yes… yes you are… abbrrrr…” Masaki kept talking to the 8 month daughter of Akiko and Satoshi, making the couple feel really proud.

Sho said nothing but just smiled as he saw Masaki so absorbed with the baby.

“I’m sorry to interrupt the happy atmosphere here and not that I complain since I ate a delicious dinner but are we gathered here just to watch Aiba-kun speaking baby language? I honestly could pass my Saturday night in a much more interesting way!” Nino said in a rather sarcastic way, causing a harsh hit on the back of his head from Jun.

“NINO!”

Nino looked at his boyfriend frowning. “What?!”

In the last months he and Jun would visit Masaki and Sho quite often and the couple soon found out that Nino had a sharp tongue.

Masaki looked up with a deep blush on his face while everyone else burst into laughs.

“You never change Nino…” Satoshi said low as he shook his head.

“People don’t change that easily Oh-chan… you should know that better than anyone… no matter how hard I tried, I never managed to win your heart…”

Jun was left with his mouth open. “But luckily you didn’t because otherwise I’d never meet my princess!”

“You’re making it worse second by second be careful!” Jun snapped at him and went to sit by the side of his brother.

“So ni-chan… Tell us what is the big news? I mean… you seemed so happy on the telephone that if you were a woman I’d swear that you were pregnant!” Jun said as he ruffled his brother’s hair.

Masaki looked at Sho who gave him a small nod.

“I decided to go back to work. I spoke with the director of the school for children with special needs that I was working before my accident and he agreed on going back starting from the next school year”  

“That’s great Masaki-kun!” Satoshi said smiling.

“I’m so happy you will go back to work ni-chan! I’m sure the children will be lucky to have you as teacher!” Jun said taking his brother’s hand into his.

“Jun stop praising me like that…”

“I’m just telling the truth… you’re like the sunshine… I’m sure your voice will reach them… like it… reached me…” Jun said lowering his head.

“Oh Jun!” Masaki hugged him “Don’t cry or you’ll make me cry as well and then we’ll have Sho-chan and Nino-chan make fun of us and call us cry-babies again!”

Sho went closer to his husband and pecked the top of his head.

“I would like to announce something else as well!” everyone looked at him.

He held Masaki’s hand tightly. “I and Masaki decided to adopt a baby!”

Everyone was left dumbfounded. “That’s… I’m so happy for you!” Satoshi said happily.

“Sho-kun, Masaki-kun you will be great parents!” Akiko added, smiling widely.

“Congratulations!” Nino said raising his glass of wine while Jun was almost crying.

“That means that I will be an uncle?!”

“Of course! The best uncle ever! We are one big family aren’t we?”

“Yes… we are!” Jun replied grinning.


Sho looked at everyone, smiling, laughing. They had broken many promises they had made in the past but he realized that in order to be able to move on and face life, it was sometimes inevitable not to break some of them.

Because even a broken promise could lead to happiness…




THE END



A.N. Soooo minna^^ this is the last chapter! As I promised we have some fluffy and more importantly sexy Sakuraiba moments!!! Yeah! Finally! ;) I honestly don't know if something like that could happen in Masaki's case but I wanted it to be like that! XD
There was also some Matsumiya since they also deserved it! Jun closed all the chapters of his past and focused on his future! He also seems to be really close to his brother! :D
And... I had to bring Ohno back! XD I had missed him and he deserved to be there since he played an important role in helping everyone! :)
Everyone seems happy ne?! I believe they deserve it after so much pain! And the end was a bit fluffy but I needed some flufiness + Sakuraiba with a baby= kyaaaa! They are all together happy now!!!
As for the title it actually covered everyone - because everyone broke in his own way his promise...

Anyway... the epilogue will be even fluffier!!! ;)

I know that it was a deeply sad story... I even cried as I wrote it... So for all those who left me at least once a comment THANK YOU! It really means a lot to me!!! <3
