Summary: Sho who had until now been standing frozen to the spot on the other side of the room since he'd seen Jun fall, blinked at the sight of Ohno touching him in such an intimate manner.

lilly0"You really like him don't you?" Aiba asked eagerly, watching Jun watching Sho practising with a faraway look in his eyes.
"What? No, of course not!" Jun protested, cuffing his friend on the head.
"You've been drooling over him for the past five years. There is a line of dribble stretching from our debut in Hawaii to right here and now and I think it's about time you did something about it."
"Ewww, don't be gross. So I like him, but what makes you think that he likes me?"
"Because he looks at you the same way too, but only when he knows you aren't looking,” Aiba insisted "and I have the perfect way of proving it to you."
"If you do something stupid and embarrassing I will kill you, and don't think that Nino can save you this time." Jun said with a glare, before stalking out of the room.
The mention of Nino gave Aiba an idea. If he could get the other two in on his matchmaking plan he was sure that he would succeed in getting the oblivious pair together.
++++
"Aiba...look out...oof...OW!" Jun landed hard on the floor, a stabbing pain in his left ankle as it twisted as he fell.
They had been working on the new dance steps for over an hour and Aiba had already run into him twice before. For some reason everyone seemed to be particularly clumsy today. Nino had also almost tripped him five minutes earlier, but Sho had somehow ended up between them and had ended up on his ass instead.
But this time Jun hadn't been able to move fast enough and now his ankle hurt like hell.
"Sorry Jun-kun." Aiba said as he scrambled to his feet.
Jun tried to stand up, wincing as he put weight on his injured foot. Ohno moved forward, reaching out to help him with an expression of deep concern on his face. As Jun dropped back down to the floor, Riida ran a hand gently across his cheek murmuring "Don't try and move. You might make it worse."
Sho who had until now been standing frozen to the spot on the other side of the room since he'd seen Jun fall, blinked at the sight of Ohno touching him in such an intimate manner.
Suddenly he seemed to come to a decision and bustled across the floor, kneeling down next to Jun, pushing Ohno to one side as he did so. He missed the amused glance that passed between Nino and Aiba before Nino retrieved their bemused leader from the floor.
The next little while was a blur to Jun as Sho fussed around, practically carrying him over to a chair in the corner and propping up his foot on another chair before rushing out of the room in search of ice.
As soon as Sho had gone Jun glared at the other three, who were standing around looking smug.
"You guys did this deliberately? Are you crazy?"
"It worked didn't it?" asked Nino.
"Sho seems to be really concerned about you. Isn't that great?" Aiba added happily.
"What if you had broken my leg?"
"Jun's right. Next time we need to be more careful," Ohno said as he poked Jun's ankle with a curious finger.
"Promise me there won't be a next time." Jun winced with a hint of desperation.
"OW!" he yelped, as Ohno, who had noticed Sho coming through the door, poked him even harder.
Sho heard Jun's cry of pain which gave him a corresponding stab of pain in his chest. He had liked the younger man for a long time now, but had been unsure of revealing his feelings to him, even though he had the feeling that Jun may feel the same way in return. But perhaps it was just wishful thinking on his part.
Practice was called off and Jun prepared himself to hobble home until Aiba spoke up.
"Jun can't possibly go home by himself. How can he get better if he's limping around on his bad leg?"
"He could always stay with one of us," Nino said gazing innocently in Sho's direction "someone who has their own place, where Jun can relax in peace."
By now Jun had decided to just go along with the plan. He really wanted to know if he stood any chance with Sho once and for all; there was no way that he wanted to continue to pine for him for another five years if there was absolutely no possibility of ever having him.
"I'm fine." Jun said as he shakily stood up, seeming to lose his balance and almost fall again. Sho immediately wrapped his hands around his slim waist and held him steady against his body, their hearts pounding at the sensation, both of them blushing furiously.
"Right. That's decided then." Nino said grabbing his bag in one hand and Ohno with the other and bolted out the door, Aiba trailing along behind them, unsuccessfully trying to wink at Jun as he went.
"Um...I guess that leaves me then...if you don't mind...that is." Sho mumbled, unable to quite look Jun in the eye.
"Err...ok then...if you don't mind either...or I can just go home...."
"No way. You're coming with me." Sho said, suddenly feeling decisive, worrying that Jun might try and do too much and possibly make things worse. It definitely wasn't because he was looking forward to having him at his place, just the two of them, alone together.
++++
"Is this comfortable?" Sho asked as he helped Jun to sit on the sofa.
These were the first words that had passed between them since they had left the dance studio. Once they had arrived at the apartment after a ride spent listening to music and avoiding speaking, Sho had helped Jun out of the car, once again wrapping an arm around his waist and pressing him close to his side. Jun happily leant his weight against him, enjoying the feeling of his solid muscles and the sense of security that being held like this gave him.
Jun nodded as he allowed Sho to minutely adjust his position, not trusting himself to speak without embarrassing himself.
Sho went to the kitchen, returning with a bottle of water and some painkillers.
"Here, take these while I make us something to eat."
"You're going to cook?" Jun asked in surprise. Sho's lack of cooking skills was legendary.
"Hey, I'm not as bad as you think. I can scramble us a couple of eggs and make some toast if you like."
"Ok. As long as you don't give me food poisoning. I'm in enough pain here as it is." Jun said looking up at Sho with big eyes. He was only exaggerating his discomfort slightly; he really had sprained his ankle when Aiba had pushed him and it was starting to throb now that it was cooling down.
Sho reached out as if to touch him, but abruptly stopped and went to the kitchen instead, banging his head against the fridge door in frustration, wondering if he would ever have to courage to show Jun his true feelings.
++++
"Thank you. That was...interesting." Jun said, trying to think of a way to describe the dinner that he'd just been served.
Sho looked a little disappointed so Jun tried again.
"I particularly liked the spice you used, the little chunky black bits. Was it cracked black pepper?"
Sho's shoulders shook as he sputtered out "It wasn't pepper...it was bits of burnt egg."
"Oh, really? I promise I couldn't tell." Jun said with a giggle.
Their eyes met and they both burst out laughing, the atmosphere between the two of them becoming much more relaxed.
"Come, it's time I put some ice back on your ankle."
"Right." Jun said as he stood and prepared to limp back to the living room.
"No," said Sho grabbing his arm "It will be more comfortable for you if you lay on my bed."
Jun allowed himself to be steered into the bedroom. It was the first time that he'd been in this room and he was surprised to find that unlike the rest of the apartment it was quite untidy. "Sorry," Sho said as he shoved a collection of pens, notebooks, magazines and newspapers off the bed onto the floor "I don't have time to clean very often so I just sort of shove everything in here so that the living room looks tidy when people drop in."
"And nobody drops in to your bedroom?" Jun asked, his ears turning red as he realized what he had just said.
"No. Not for a long time." Sho said in a serious voice as he lowered Jun onto his back and gently took his injured ankle into his hands. Jun felt a shiver run down his spine as the warm hands cradled his foot and propped it up on a pillow.
++++
Jun awoke with a start; embarrassed to find that he had fallen asleep, hastily checking to make sure he wasn't drooling. Sho was nowhere in sight, but he could hear the soft murmur of the television coming from the living room. Wanting some company Jun decided to shuffle out to see what Sho was watching, but he underestimated the stiffness of his ankle. As he tried to stand up, it crumpled under him and he tumbled to the floor, knocking the alarm clock off the bedside table with a loud crash.
Sho immediately appeared in the doorway with a worried expression on his face. He bent down and scooped Jun up into his arms and sat down on the edge of the bed cradling him on his lap, rocking him like he was an upset baby.
It felt so good to be held so tightly by the man that he had loved for so long. Jun hardly realized what he was doing as he pressed a kiss onto Sho's cheek.
Sho froze, his whole body stiffening and Jun thought that he had made a big mistake. Feeling humiliated he tried to wriggle free from the older man’s grasp, but Sho was stronger and refused to let him go.
"Let me down!"
"No," Sho said, tightening his grip even further.
Jun could feel tears of shame pricking his eyes. He couldn't believe that after hiding his feelings for so long, he had slipped up.
"Ple..."
His words were swallowed as Sho cupped his cheek, turning his face towards him, capturing his lips in a tender kiss. Jun was too surprised to return the kiss, lying limply in his arms, his eyes wide with shock.
This time it was Sho who believed that he had been mistaken. Jun's lack of response made him think that the first kiss had merely been one of gratitude. He slid Jun off his lap and tried to bolt from the room, but his wrist was being held tightly by a pink cheeked Jun who was looking at him with a shy expression.
"Wait. Did you mean to do that?" Jun asked.
"Did you?" Sho replied.
They were both looking at each other warily but with a spark of hope in their eyes. The silence seemed to stretch forever until they both moved at the same time. Jun tugged on Sho's wrist pulling him towards him as the older man leant down. Sho ended up on his knees between Jun's legs as their lips met in the middle of the space between them.
The kiss started off slowly, gradually increasing in intensity as Sho slid his hand behind Jun's neck, holding him in place as he devoured his mouth. Jun wrapped his hands around Sho's neck in return, anchoring himself in place. He had dreamt of this moment so often and now that it was here it felt better than he had imagined.
When they pulled apart for air a few minutes later, Jun's lips were red and slightly swollen, his eyes dark with pleasure, and to Sho he had never looked more beautiful.
Sho shifted uncomfortably, his knees starting to hurt as he only just noticed that he was kneeling on some of the hard edged debris that had been swept from the bed earlier.
Jun noticed his discomfort and slid backwards across the bed making room for him. He patted the bed encouragingly, laughing as Sho creakily got to his feet and slid onto the bed next to him.
"And I thought Riida was the old man in this group." Jun said with a giggle.
"Who are you calling old?" Sho replied with a mock growl as he climbed on top of Jun straddling his hips and pinning his hands beside his head, making Jun giggle even louder.
To Sho this was the cutest sound in the world and the cheeky expression on Jun's face was enchanting. Bending down he smothered Jun's giggles with his mouth, sliding his tongue inside and exploring every square millimetre of the new territory that he was already beginning to think of as his own.
After some time had passed, Jun pulled slightly out of his embrace and looked up at him with a nervous expression.
"I really like you and I have done for a very long time..."
"Well, that's good, because I’d hate to think that you’d kiss someone that way that you don’t like.” Sho said lightly, panicking slightly now that the moment to declare his feelings had arrived.
The hurt look in Jun’s eyes immediately told him that he had done the wrong thing and he immediately set about setting things straight.
“Sorry, now is not the time for joking and I know that, it’s just that I’m really nervous too,” Sho said sitting them both up on the bed.
“I really like you too and I have done for probably almost as long. I’m older, and I should have been the one to say something; but I was just as scared as you about being rejected. I didn’t want to lose our friendship. You are far too important to me.”
Jun’s body relaxed as he realized that he wasn’t getting the brushoff from Sho.
“So are we dating now?” Jun asked with a shy smile.
“I would love that.” Sho replied blushing slightly himself.
“So….um…even though we haven’t officially had our first date yet, is it ok for me to kiss you again?” Jun asked with a mischievous grin.
“Oh, I think that’s more than ok.” Sho said, once again pulling him down onto the bed and beginning a thorough exploration of his body.
++++
Jun moaned softly as Sho nibbled his way down the left side of his neck and began to suck lightly on his collarbone. Sho then slowly unbuttoned Jun’s shirt, seeking access to more skin, before pulling his own shirt over his head.
What had started out as gentle kissing had soon developed into so much more. The soft gasping noises that Jun made when he was touched only spurred Sho on. He wanted to find all the places on the younger man’s body that brought him the most pleasure.
Jun had never before felt like this, his very blood seemed to be on fire as he surrendered himself to Sho’s touch, allowing the remainder of his clothing to be removed, as if he were in a trance, only abruptly coming to his senses when Sho slid his hand between his buttocks and began circling his hole with a slick finger.
Sho had no idea what was wrong when Jun suddenly froze in place, not even seeming to breathe, the muscles in his entire body clenching tightly. The heat of his erection still painfully confined within his jeans had been controlling his actions up until this point, and it was hard to focus.
“Jun? Did I do something wrong? Did I hurt you?”
“N-no….I just…I’ve never…done…you know…”
“You’re a virgin?” Sho asked, horrified that he had been so casually ready to make love to Jun, without the thought even crossing his mind.
“Well…um..it’s not like I haven’t fooled around before, but I’ve never gone the whole way.” Jun said before adding “I wanted to wait for the person I love.”
The words he murmured after that were so soft that Sho had to ask him to repeat them.
“I wanted to wait for you.” Jun said, not quite able to meet Sho’s gaze, and feeling very immature he squeezed his own eyes tightly shut, unable to stop a single tear escaping from beneath the lid he added “You think I’m stupid don’t you?”
Sho who thought that it was the most wonderful and precious thing that he had ever heard, cuddled Jun tightly against his chest, gently stroking his hair in a comforting gesture.
“I think that it is the most perfect thing that I have ever heard. That you would want to offer me your most precious gift…” Sho felt tears welling in his own eyes and he had to clear his throat before continuing “but I can’t take you like this. It isn’t right…I want it to be special…as special as you…”
Jun snuggled even closer to Sho’s half clad body, pressing his nakedness against him as if seeking protection.
Sho pulled the blanket up to cover Jun’s body as they intertwined their limbs, so that it became hard to tell which bit belonged to whom.
“I promise that when we do make love it will be the most perfect and memorable moment that we will both cherish for the rest of our lives, so let’s just cuddle for now. Ok?”
Jun nodded meekly, not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed, before saying “Lets just not wait for another five years before it happens though.”
Sho laughed, and pressed a light kiss to the tip of Jun’s nose saying “I can definitely guarantee that.”
++++
When Sho went to fetch them both some pyjamas to wear and another cold pack to put on Jun’s ankle, Jun seized the opportunity to quickly pick up his phone and fire off a text to the other three.
It simply read “I.O.U.”
Note: I promise in part two next week they finally do the deed.

The little ploy of the others was sweet, though a little dangerous too, but well, it worked out, didn't it? :D
The confession part was so touching, and when Sho was panicking about confessing his feelings. By the way, I love that Sho decides to wait and make Jun's first time special for him or rather them <3
Can't wait for the update :D
Thanks sooooooooo much for this!! My day was so stressful and it was simply soothing to read this!! ♥

Even though Sho is supposed to be the experienced one of the two, he is just as sweet as Jun.
I hope you are nice and relaxed now.

True, any plan with Aiba and Nino in charge is very scary. I like the way they managed to suck Ohno into their scheme as well.
Thanks for your kind words.
