Summary: There was no way that he could turn down the man who never asked for anything except his love, and would offer him the world in return if he could.



It was a perfect early spring day. There was a gentle warm breeze blowing, hinting at the approach of summer. Satoshi woke early and slid out of bed, careful to not disturb the lump under the covers next to him. Something was pullling at him, an urge to be outdoors away from the city. The only problem was persuading his boyfriend that this was a good idea. Nino hated the outdoors at the best of times and would never willingly attend any outdoor activites by choice, especially when they had been unable to spend much time alone together lately.

His drama filming had consumed his life for the past few weeks and this free time with Nino was a precious gift that he didn't want to squander. Normally he would be happy to spend the time in bed reaquainting himself with his lover's body. He could spend hours mapping every knobbly bone in his spine, tracing the dips of his collarbones, nibbling his sharp hip bones and slowly making love to him until they both collapsed in a sated puddle together on the bed and slept until it was time to join the outside world once again.

But right at this moment he wanted to be free to savour the blossoming new season, the scents and sights. He wished to try and capture this most fleeting of times in his sketchbook. His fingers twitched with anticipation at the thought. If only he could convince Nino to go along with him. It would be so much more meaningful to experience it with the one he loved.

Nino slowly emerged from a deep sleep, gradually fighting his way to full consciousness. Last night Satoshi had been relentless in his attentions and his body ached in the best way possible. He slid his hand across the other side of the bed looking for the reassurance of his lover's warm body, but the sheets were cold. Satoshi must have been up for some time already.

Intrigued, Nino pulled on his boxers and one of Satoshi's old t-shirts and shuffled out into the living room in search of his missing lover. It was completely out of character for the older man to pass up the opportunity to sleep all day.

Satoshi was standing looking out of the window with a yearning expression on his face. Heaving a deep sigh he turned, only to be startled by the sight of Nino standing and observing him silently.

"What's up old man?" Nino asked fondly as he wrapped his arms around Satoshi's tanned neck.

"N-nothing....only just...I...well..." he stuttered.

"Did you hit your head in the shower or something? Can you try and form a complete sentence this time?"

"I just thought that since it's such a beautiful day we could go out somewhere and enjoy it but I know that you will hate it if we do so never mind we can just go back to bed." Satoshi babbled as he took Nino's hand to lead him back to the bedroom.

As Nino's brain sorted out the words he balked, making them both jerk to a halt.

"You want to go out somewhere together and and enjoy the spring weather?"

"Yes, but if you don't want to it doesn't matter." Satoshi replied trying to disguise his disappointment.

It was true that Nino hated the outdoors, but his love for his boyfriend was much stronger than that hate. There was no way that he could turn down the man who never asked for anything except his love, and would offer him the world in return if he could.

++++

After breakfast Satoshi was once again looking yearningly out the window when he heard a jangle behind him. Nino was standing there with his car keys in his hand.

"Well, come on, we don't have all day. Let's go before I change my mind." Nino said, wondering why he was doing this, but a second later the look of surprised joy on his boyfriend's face gave him his answer.

Satoshi hastily packed his art supplies into a bag, hurrying to be ready before Nino changed his mind. He rushed over to his boyfriend and planted a series of sloppy kisses all over his face. Nino pushed him away with a grimace, but the pink tips of his ears gave away his pleasure at the gesture.

"You're totally buying me lunch somewhere while we're out and I'm definitely in the mood for something expensive." Nino said as he made sure that Satoshi's seat belt was securely fastened.

"Hmmmm," Satoshi hummed vaguely in response, his mind already travelling ahead of them.

++++

Once they'd finally reached the coast Nino had indeed decided that he felt like lobster for lunch which Satoshi had happily paid for while hardly eating anything himself, just wanting to get the meal out of the way so he would be free to sketch.

They'd ended up on a cliff top, looking across an expanse of empty beach and smooth sea, their backs propped up against a newly budding tree. Nino hadn't expected to enjoy the trip at all, but he had been pleasantly surprised. As he drove, everywhere he looked new life seemed to be springing up from the bare earth of winter. Even his snarky soul could feel the pull of awakening nature. To his great surprise Satoshi hadn't fallen asleep in the car as he usually did, instead he had already begun to move his pencil furiously across the page, as if trying to capture something fleeting before it disappeared forever.

Satoshi had been madly sketching page after page of quickfire drawings while Nino sat beside him, silent for once, seemingly drugged by the warm sea breeze wafting over him. He hadn't touched his DS or his phone since they'd arrived. Normally this would make him twitchy and nervous, but at this very moment he couldn't care less. He was tempted to accuse Satoshi of slipping a tranquilizer into his overpriced lunch, but even that seemed like too big an effort. He closed his eyes and allowed the moment of absolute peace and relaxation to lull him to sleep.

++++

Nino groaned and rubbed at his face, a strange tickling sensation had woken him from his comfortable dream. He heard a soft laugh nearby and opened his eyes to see that Satoshi was tickling his nose with a soft blade of new spring grass.

"It's getting late. I think we should go back soon," Satoshi said, thinking of the early start he had in the morning.

"Mmm, I guess so," Nino replied, stretching sleepily before adding "So, do I get to see your masterpieces? You've spent all afternoon on them."

"No."

"What do you mean "no"? I give up a day in bed doing imaginative things with your body and you won't even let me see your sketches?"

"It's a surprise, for you. I want to give you a gift and I want to use these sketches for a painting."

"Nope, I refuse to accept that," Nino said, snatching the pad from Satoshi's hand. He didn't see why his boyfriend was so reluctant to let him see some pictures of the sea and a few trees.

But when he opened the book he understood the reluctance of Satoshi to let him see. Every page was covered with sketches of Nino. It showed him driving the car with a look of concentration, stuffing lobster into his mouth and smiling, him leaning against the tree and looking relaxed, a complete look of happiness on his face. This was only the beginning; the rest of them showed him sleeping, lips slightly parted, with an impossibly beautiful expression on his face.

"Oh-chan, have you lost your mind?" he asked indignantly "I drove you here to enjoy the view and all you drew is overly flattering pictures of me for the entire afternoon?"

Satoshi looked at him with one of his calm smiles replying "I wanted to draw something beautiful today and you are the most beautiful thing here."

Nino was embarrassed to find himself both speechless and blushing, not a situation he was used to at all. He was about to protest at the overly cheesy reply, when Satoshi leant over and pressed a soft kiss to his lips.

"Stop it! Somebody might see." Nino said brusquely as he pushed the older man away, but he couldn't quite disguise the secret smile of delight that played across his lips the entire way home.

I'm sorry I'm so late with my comment!! I was hardly online last week!
But I love this!! It's so beautiful that Nino decides to go outside with Ohno, and how they enjoy their day together, and how Ohno still drew only Nino <3
Thanks so much for this beautiful, heart-warming story!!

[learashi]

Thanks for reading and commenting my friend ❤. I'm glad you liked it. I find it hard to write Ohmiya, but since it is Nino's birthday month I thought I had to give it a go but I think you are just about the only one who likes my posting this week. 😢
Please excuse my self pity - pretend I said mothing. ☺

[lilly0]

I'm also quite often having troubles with Ohmiya. (The chemistry is difficult for me. Most of the time I only manage to make them like friends, not lovers)
I don't think it's your story, dear, because it's heart-warming and beautiful, but sometimes there are days when there aren't many people online and the fic later on slips their attention. >

Oh ~~ It was so fluffy, fluffy fluff and I loved it! ;D
Sometimes I like this 'calm and cute' Ohmiya! I could totally picture them by the sea, Ohno drawing Nino! ^^
It was super cute!!!

Thanks for sharing it! <3

p.s. Don't worry about the lack of comments that much sweetie! There have been times I've received only two, three or four! xD I think my worst case was 'The illusionist' - a Matsumiya one-shot of 10.000 words! :D

[learashi]

Thank you. I'm obviously an insecure person. (Nah, it's mostly that I kind of feel a bit intimidated by Ohmiya fans and have this stupid feeling that they have very high expectations. Stupid, I know.)
It's extra fluffy because I don't think I can manage sexy Ohmiya. I like reading them but just can't get my brain around writing them.
Plus my whinge now seems to be insignificant compared to your 10000 word work being kind of ignored. Do you hate me now that I have found comfort in your pain? ☺

[antimiya88.livejournal.com]

You're talking to an equally insecure person my dear! (I feel like that even for my current SA one! ^^" so yes... xD)
As for Ohmiya I usually write them as nymphomaniacs *coughs* - I don't know how many Ohmiya fics of mine you have read but that's their tendancy in my eyes - both perverts! loool But I can also see and love all their aspects! ;)
hahahaha That's why I told you so! *saluts Nino's way*

[yukitsubute]

Oh I loved that ❤❤ cheesy Ohno is somehow cute *lol*

And of course he needs to pay for Nino :P

And going out from time to time is nothing bad, Nino :P

Thanks for sharing dear ❤❤

[learashi]

True, sometimes sunshine and fresh air are our friends. Just look at how relaxed and happy Nino was even though he started off hating the idea, but how could he say no to cute and cheesy Ohno.
Thanks for finding tthe the time to read this when I know you must be really busy.
