Summary: Ninomiya Kazunari along with his friend Aiba Masaki and Sakurai Sho has formed a band and despite being poor, they all try to follow their dream. In their neighborhood, there's a famous Art School and some of its students don't hesitate to 'accuse' them that what they're doing isn't music since none of them know how to read the notes on the musical pentagram. Among them, there's a mysterious student who never speaks; instead, he passes his evenings watching the three friends rehearsing in the old garage from across the street. Nino gradually finds himself becoming interested in him... feeling that he's different from the others. One day he has the chance to meet him in person... Could this encounter prove him right or even change his life?
Disclaimer: Kazu belongs to his Oh-chan and Oh-chan belongs to his Kazu
Part 3
Nino entered the garage knowing well that his best friend wouldn’t stop until he had all his answers. I just hope he won’t take it too bad…
“Ninoooo!” Masaki’s voice reached immediately his ears. “Finally! You decided to show up! It’s been days!”
Nino raised his eyebrow, as if he didn’t understand the truth behind Masaki’s words. “Why are you like that?! I’m not late… As a matter of fact, I’m five minutes earlier than our practice!” he walked till he was facing Masaki and showed him his watch. “Look… it says 5:55 pm! And I’m sure there wasn’t a practice scheduled in the last three days!” and with that went to take his seat, taking his guitar in his hands.
“Nino!” Masaki said louder this time. “You know what I’m talking about!” his tone was whining as he came closer to the other.
“I don’t…” Nino continued to pretend he was not understanding what was going on. He could hear Sho chuckling a few meters away, knowing that the other took it as a teasing but in reality, Nino was buying himself time.
“Oh c’mon…” Masaki sat next to him throwing his right hand over his shoulders. “You were the one who talked of that boyfriend of yours that I interrupted you with… remember now?”
“Ah! That one… yes I do… you don’t seem to remember it correctly though…” Nino asked in a slightly mischievous way, even though his heart was pounding in his chest.
“What do you mean?” Masaki asked frowning.
“I told you that and that you should spend more precious time with Sho-kun… since you know…”
Masaki’s face was tomato red from embarrassment while Sho’s was glowing from happiness. Nino muffled a laugh. “So it seems you followed my advice! I’m glad for you!”
“Thanks…” Masaki mumbled, still flushed. “But… but still you didn’t tell us who your boyfriend is…” he added fast to change the subject.
“I’ve told him to come in an hour… to see our practice… if you don’t mind of course…”
Masaki burst into laughs, as he headed to grab his guitar. “Why would we mind, right Sho-chan?” the drummer nodded and took his seat as well. “And now let’s start! Sho, give us the rhythm…” Masaki said his face turning completely serious once again. “We need to show him our best!”
Nino smiled lowering his head, his fingers finding the chords. I trust that you will stay true to your words Masaki…
***
It was already 7 o’clock when they heard the door of the garage slightly open. Nino thought his heart would jump out of his chest as he turned around and saw his boyfriend looking at them reluctantly.
“Uhmm… he- hello…”
There was a weird silence spread. Nino decided that it was now or never. He placed his guitar carefully on the chair he was sitting till then and walked towards Satoshi. “Come here, Satoshi…” he took the latter’s hand in his, squeezing it a bit, before turning around walking back to his friends with him. “This is Ohno Satoshi. He’s my boyfriend…”
Masaki and Sho were left speechless. Satoshi could see how tensed up the other two were and wished he could do or say something to ease the atmosphere. “Nice to meet you” he mumbled while slightly bowing to them.
“Nino-kun!” Sho said clearly irritated. “He’s one of them! I don’t get it… It’s the students of this almighty school of Art that make fun of us… it’s them who want us to feel ashamed of ourselves… saying all this bullshit that our music is no art and that we don’t have any right to even touch musical instruments… and now you’re with him? Really?” Sho let out a bitter laugh, as he made a couple of steps forward till he was standing right in front of Satoshi. “You don’t speak huh? Tell me… is this another plan of yours? To destroy us from the inside? Why so much hate?”
He was ready to make another one when Masaki’s hand forbade him. Confused, Sho turned around to see that Masaki’s eyes were locked to Nino’s, even as he spoke. “Don’t… Sho… I’m sure Nino wouldn’t be this stupid… Right?”
“Satoshi is not like them! You are accusing him unjustly!” Nino spoke up, wanting to defend his boyfriend. He knew his friends meant no harm; on the contrary, they wanted to protect him if not possible… The same way he knew they wouldn’t understand so easily.
“He doesn’t utter all of that nonsense! That’s true… but remaining silent is the same as approving…” Masaki talked back at Nino.
“Sometimes remaining silent is the same as being treated as inexistent…” Satoshi’s voice was heard like a whisper causing everyone to turn their attention to him.
“What do you mean?” Sho asked, a lot calmer this time.
“It doesn’t mean that everyone who go to this almighty school, as you said, are automatically welcomed by the others… especially if they don’t like to follow the norms and rules, according to them of course… Even a student might get treated the same way… though this student might prefer to remain silent rather than speak back… I don’t know if it’s from fear or indifference…”
“What I know is that he admires you… he always did… he still remembers the first day he came back home with his painting horribly criticized by his professor, having lost the faith he had in him… starting to think that perhaps they were right… but then it was your music… the passion with which you played that made him realize that art is true only when it speaks to yourself… you gave him the courage to continue his way without paying attention to the others…”
Sho was left dumbfounded while Masaki’s eyes were already wet with tears that were threatening to fall. Nino knew that his friend, as much as behaving like a cat in fights, he was also a cry baby, full of emotions and love. Satoshi hadn’t openly talked to him about that but he had seen the destroyed paintings that laid at the back of his workshop in the dark. He only tightened his grip and looked at him, trying to portray as much love as possible. This man was amazing… every single day he discovered even more reasons to call him that… Nino smiled the thought of it. He discovered, once again, that he was the luckiest man on Earth.
“You mean it?” Sho managed to say. “I would have never guessed it myself…”
Satoshi smiled. “Don’t worry… Not everyone has the opportunity or better said, the power to go against everyone like you… Perhaps… that was what attracted me to Nino in the first place. Being quite yet powerful… I could somehow see a part of me in him… It’s as if we’re one split in two…”
“You love him…” Masaki whispered. Nino almost teared up. Masaki’s words weren’t a question… they were a statement.
“I do…” Satoshi replied back with a firm voice. “I really do…”
Masaki grabbed both Satoshi’s shoulders. “Treat him right. He’s precious to me…”
“I know and believe me…” Satoshi said gently, as he turned his head towards Nino. “I intend to treasure him for the rest of my life…”
Masaki cleared his throat in an attempt not to burst into tears right there before clapping his hands together. “What do you say to go all together for a beer? Sho-chan?”
Sho hugged his boyfriend from the back pressing a soft kiss on his left shoulder. “I agree… Unless if they have other plans…” he added jokingly to ease up the others.
Nino smiled widely as he intertwined his fingers with Satoshi’s ones. “Whatever my Satoshi wants…”
“I would be glad…” Satoshi said gaining a small peck from his boyfriend.
“Thank you…” Nino whispered on his lips, knowing well that Satoshi might not be too fond of company.
“I like your friends, Kazu… I said it earlier… I always loved this beautiful aura that was coming out of you three… I’m just happy to be able to be a part of it…” Satoshi answered reassuringly to Nino whose eyes were mirroring his happiness.
***
“Here we are…” Nino whispered as he opened the door to his small apartment, after having come back from the bar. It was almost midnight and he was nervous but he wanted it more than anything else… he wanted to show Satoshi everything.
Satoshi followed him right behind, his eyes wandering around the small room that clearly was the living room.
“I know it’s small and well… messy and it’s nothing like your cousi-”
“It’s beautiful…” Satoshi’s reply came fast. His voice was warm and serious, showing that he truly meant it.
“But…” Nino tried to speak, rather confused.
“It’s beautiful because it’s Kazu’s… I can see you in it… There…” Satoshi pointed at some old vinyl records, Nino had found in his favorite second hand market “they represent your love and devotion for what you’re doing…. Here…” he pointed at the small table, placed in the middle of the room, where there was a bunch of papers covered in lyrics. Some of them were crumpled, others full of blots and others written and rewritten on top. “All of them represent you… Even this small plushy…” Satoshi said picking up the small plush dog that was thrown on the floor “shows another part of you… really cute… If I were to say…” he added fast, smiling at the picture of his boyfriend blushing deeply.
“This was Masaki’s first present for my birthday when we were back at school… he said that it represented the depth of our friendship…” Nino mumbled, pouting as he took the dog from Satoshi’s hands to put it back to his bedroom. “I found it funny…”
“Yet you kept it… and you have it close to you as you try to be inspired for lyrics…” Satoshi replied following the other in his bedroom. “You don’t have to be shy Kazu… I love you… everything that makes you, you…”
“Your words… how…?” Nino tried to ask, as he looked deep in his boyfriend’s eyes, making it impossible for him to finish his questions.
“What I want to say is that I love you…” Satoshi repeated once again, his hand brushing through Nino’s hair who leaned closer to the gentle touch.
“I love you too…” Nino said smiling shyly as he wrapped his arms around Satoshi’s waist. “And for your information… I don’t have that dog with me to get inspired… at least not anymore… it’s like an old habit… I…” Nino bit his lower lip, feeling his face turning red. “I think I have found my muse…”
Satoshi smiled, bringing the other closer. “You have…?”
“Yes… Because I love everything that makes him, him as well…”
Satoshi didn’t need to hear anything else and locked their lips together into a slow yet passionate kiss. Nino tilted his head, following the other, feeling his insides getting hotter by every second that passed by.
“I want to be yours… entirely…” he whispered, breathless once they separated due to the lack of air.
“We can wait… it’s not that long since…” Satoshi started mumbling things, clearly not feeling sure whether this was the right thing to do.
“Do you love me?” Nino cut him off.
“Yes” Satoshi replied firmly, staring at his boyfriend who took his hand placing it on his chest.
“Do you feel the way my heart is beating?” Nino asked in a more desperate tone than before. Satoshi could only nod. “You want to make me happy… right?” Satoshi nodded again. “Then say nothing more and make me happy… make me yours, Satoshi… I want to be yours… I want to feel you… everything that you have to offer…”
Satoshi didn’t need to hear anything else. Soon, their clothes were thrown scattered on the floor as they were exploring each other… becoming one…
***
Satoshi could feel the sunrays hitting directly his face but denied to open his eyes. His hand traced the mattress at his left side in an attempt to find Nino but he could only touch the sheets. Frowning he opened his eyes slowly as he sat up on the bed. He looked at his phone screen to get an idea of what time it was. It was already 10 am. I rarely sleep till this late but then… I always sleep early at night… a shy smile appeared on his lips as he recalled the moments of pure passion he had shared with his boyfriend.
He was putting on a T-shirt that was left on the chair from Nino for him to wear, when he heard the sound of a guitar. Kazu…
Trying to make as little noise as possible, he got out of the bedroom and walked towards the living room, from where the music was heard. With each step the melody was getting louder, making equally his smile wider as well.
Our umbrellas hit each other and I can't walk straight
You look at me like that and laugh
Then I try giving you the same kind of pout
You look at me like that and laugh
Then I try giving you the same kind of pout

“Wait! We can’t walk side by side while holding our umbrellas! I have to carry my guitar, remember?”
“We always can! Stop pouting now! I can’t continue my painting when we get back, if my model is like this!” Satoshi replied, trying to muffle a laugh, as he closed his umbrella getting the other one in hand. Nino found himself being pulled into a tight hug. “That way is better; don’t you think so?”
Nino leaned closer letting his head rest on Satoshi’s shoulder as they walked on to Jun’s apartment. ‘Yes… this way is definitely better…’ he thought smiling, as he intertwined their fingers.

Satoshi leaned on the wall next to him as he continued listening to the beautiful ballad his boyfriend was playing. He loved looking at him being focused like that, devoted to his art… showing that his soul was pure… able to give as much emotions as it was able to receive.

"The rainbow is beautiful,
No wait, not more than you... "
And to you, who are beginning to feel shy,
"Thank you, thank you"
No wait, not more than you... "
And to you, who are beginning to feel shy,
"Thank you, thank you"
“No, Kazu…” Satoshi whispered in Nino’s ear as he hugged him from behind, having kneeled close to him. “I’m the one who’s supposed to say thank you…”
“Satoshi, you’re up! I… I didn’t know that…” Nino tried to reply in a trembling voice.
“I love you… I know I might have been a bit late to say those words to you… since it took me several months and Jun’s push… but I promise you that I will say it every single day from now on! Till you get bored of hearing them…”
Nino let his guitar on the floor next to them, turning around throwing his hands on Satoshi’s shoulders. “I will never get bored of hearing them, Satoshi… not if they come out from this mouth, having the sound of this voice… never…”
“Glad to hear that… Tell me… what’s the title of the song?” Satoshi asked, his hand caressing Nino’s hair.
“Rainbow” Nino answered with a tiny voice.
“Rainbow… why?”
“Because I… I was feeling as if I was lost in a storm… and then you came… giving my life a purpose… making me feel happy… showing me that the sun will be up in the sky… for the first time my life has a meaning… a true meaning… Satoshi… for the first time…” Nino turned his eyes straight into Satoshi’s “… for the first time, I felt safe and loved…”
Satoshi could feel tears building up in his eyes, threatening to come to the surface but held them back. “And you are my everything, Kazu… I feel I can draw incessantly… I feel strong… and that’s all thanks to you…”
“Satoshi…” Nino said with a trembling voice, pouting a little. “Do you want to turn me into some kind of crybaby?”
“This isn’t my intention, Kazu… My only intention would be to show you how much I love you…”
“Then show me…” Nino whispered, his eyes going lower, focusing on Satoshi’s lips. Those lips that tasted so sweet.
“And breakfast?” Satoshi said, his breathing turning quicker as he felt his lover moving closer till their torsos were touching each other.
“It can wait…” Nino replied almost breathless as he attacked his boyfriend’s lips, smiling when he felt the other returning the kiss with the same intensity and eagerness. I love you… I love you so much, Satoshi…

Four years later…
“Good evening! This is Matsuka Akiko from NTV with the hottest topics in culture. His third personal exhibition will hold the famous artist Ohno Satoshi from 22 April to 22 May in the National Gallery of Modern Art in Tokyo. It was also announced that a smaller version will travel in the biggest cities in Japan, such as Yokohama, Nagoya, Sapporo and Hiroshima during the summer. This time, the main focus is on Sakura and its influence in our everyday life. More information in our exclusive interview that will be on air tomorrow at 7 o’clock.
The famous alternative pop group ‘Kaze’ released their second album getting a new sales record already from the first week. This time the style is different, inspired by many different genres of music. ‘You should see the songs as scattered pieces of a personal diary’ suggested the main composer and guitarist, Ninomiya Kazunari in the official presentation of the album, last Sunday. Asked about the criticism that the members have faced from certain circles, the drummer of the group, Sakurai Sho, said that they prefer to focus on their music and those who support them. ‘We just do what we love and we will continue doing it with a smile on our face. I believe that when you smile, then certainly something good will happen to you’ added the main vocalist and guitarist, Aiba Masaki.
Oguri Shun, on the other hand, will be starring in the new drama-”
Jun closed the TV with a proud smile on his face. He picked up the phone and pressed quickly the call button. “Nino! It’s me… I called you to remind you the photoshoot”
“Don’t worry, Jun. You’re not the only manager we have… you forget Sho?! He has already sent me a private message and an email. I remember it! Don’t worry!”
Jun chuckled. “I have to be sure that you don’t mess up with MJ records… Anyway… give my cousin my greetings. I’m sure he will be somewhere in his studio painting…”
“I’ll give them, Jun… See you tomorrow…”
“Tomorrow…” Jun said back and ended the call. He went to the kitchen and grabbed a cold beer from the fridge, before coming back to the living room throwing his back on the sofa, his eyes having caught a small photo with him and his boyfriend, Toma, along with Satoshi, Nino, Sho and Masaki. I want to know what would you guys have done, if I wasn’t around…
“Are you complimenting yourself again?” Toma’s voice reached his ears.
Jun chuckled. “Maybe…”
“You’ll never change…” Toma replied and buried himself in his boyfriend’s arms, having taken the photo in his hands. “But I have to admit that thanks to you we have such amazing friends…”
“And all of them successful… with their dreams fulfilled…” Jun smiled. “But they deserved it… they really did…”
***
“Who was on the phone?” Satoshi asked as he entered the tub that Nino had filled with hot water.
“Jun… to remind us the photoshoot…” Nino said and followed Satoshi, resting his back on his boyfriend’s torso. “This feels so nice…”
Satoshi pecked the top of Nino’s head. “It does… it’s the most relaxing thing… holding you like this in my arms…”
“So many years have passed and you continue saying all those cliché words…” Nino said pouting.
“And you continue being so cute when you pretend to be annoyed…” Satoshi whispered to his ear.
Nino burst into laughs before closing his eyes, letting all the tiredness of the day out. “Can you believe it?” he asked in a low voice after a few minutes.
“Believe what, Kazu?”
“All of this… our art being recognized and loved… it seems like a dream to me…”
“It is loved because it’s real… It’s who we are… what we feel… a reason for it is our inspiration… don’t you agree?”
“And what is your inspiration?” Nino asked, feeling his cheeks getting hotter.
“You, of course… my muse is you…” Satoshi replied fast, in a serious tone, causing Nino’s heart to skip several beats.
“You too…” he whispered back. “You are my muse, as well… all I can think of when I put my hands on the chords is you… and everything that reminds me of you…”
Satoshi grabbed Nino’s chin, making him to turn a bit so that their eyes could meet.
“I love you…”
“I love you too, Satoshi…” Nino replied before being pulled in a soft kiss.
After all of these years, Nino was sure. Paradise wasn’t something theoretical, inexistent. It existed… it was his life… with the person he loved the most… it was the place where his favorite art belonged… art created by them as one…
