this was completely worth the wait, and i knew it from the moment i saw 'nino/arashi'. the 'a lot of sex' is also right up my alley (after an intense week of fqf writing, just sitting back and reading made it so much more perfect.) and yes. just, yes.
i really like how you structured and told this. showing their various interludes, over the years - but always going back to the central issue, reminding us of the first scene, which we slowly discover more about. it lent such a lovely balance to the past and present, to their past enjoyment of being with each other, with the fact that nino is struggling with reconciling it, now. and the fact that we see the problem first through the nino/ohno dynamic, and the fact that they have sex last. !! i really liked that. it made the ohmiya dynamic (which i gravitate to the easiest, i admit) make sense in the larger context of the group, allowed it, in a way, to bring them together.
okay let me quote properly. ;_; i also apologize if i am a little more incoherent than usual it's just that i've been in a rather odd mood these few days and this story comes at just the right time.
He knows the rest of them do it, too, like a big secret game of musical chairs, and like he told Ohno, it’s really not a big deal. i love the musical chairs bit, and really, (especially on the second read) that it's nino who second guesses this, tries his best not to talk about it or give it any meaning beyond 'fooling around'. i really appreciate the contrary sort of feeling - it's smaller and more manageable when it's just him and one of his bandmates, but when it's all of arashi, it's suddenly bigger than all of them, something even he admits they have to talk about. and it makes more and more sense, as you go along, that doing this openly with all of arashi would be something he wanted yet was kind of afraid of at the same time.
Nino knows where he stands with all of them—and he thinks he’s worked out where they all stand with each other oh, nino. he would think that, strive to be able to tell himself that.
Which isn’t to say that he hasn’t imagined it at all. AS IF THE PREVIOUS LINE WASN'T GREAT ENOUGH, this just gave me so many feelings. i seriously love lines, especially ending lines, that make me go oh, and you had SO MANY. *~*
He thinks all the firsts are mutual, but he can’t be sure with Aiba, and he never asks. oh man, something about this line, and the one before it. i don't know. i love how you straddle inexperience and experience, but it all comes together and becomes more than it began as.
They’re all the way naked and this is familiar, too, the tight press of their hips, and sloppy, open-mouthed kisses. HAVE I MENTIONED HOW I LOVE GREAT LINES, yes i have. well this made it necessary to say it again.
and he asks for it on a breath that Aiba steals away from him almost immediately. omigod ;_;
Nino’s been thinking about this, planning for it, and he’s managed to get four fingers into himself without much pain so nino, and, just, thinking about this. feelings. i really like how he feels the need to try this in private first, prepare for it, before bringing it up with aiba. it's such a guarded, logical thing to do.
who has apparently been trying to open it one-handed. aw, man, aibaby, why would you
Nino had only been trying to hurry things along, but this earns him a lovely, low moan from Aiba. possibly this is a kink of mine, so. :3 (i also have a pretty loose definition of kink, soooo. jsyk. not ashamed)
and suddenly Nino feels ready, so ready for this. i like that this realization comes later, it feels so true to life
Another slow push, a slow pull, and then Aiba goes boneless. beautiful line. ;_;
