Nino's overcome by affection for him for a second, familiar and safe, not alarming or mind-blowing in the least (in love whispers a voice in Nino's mind that sounds like Ohno, not like Jun), and Nino finishes his bite and moves his face forward, presses his nose against Ohno's, grinning. Ohno watches him carefully, a little warily, and Nino laughs and kisses his cheek swiftly.
"In love with me?" Nino asks him.
Ohno hums thoughtfully. "It's just," he says, "It's just that - you're so. It's you." He sounds apologetic. "I can't explain, really."
This is - Nino's heart is beating faster, to hear this. He doesn't want to move away from Ohno. Maybe ever. (Considering it is hardly the first time Nino has had this thought, maybe he shouldn't be surprised to think Ohno is in love with him - or that he is in love with Ohno at least, if they don't each imply each other automatically, but, Nino thinks, in the case of Ohno and him, they obviously do.)
That wasn't really the response he's looking for though. He narrows his eyes a little, looks at Ohno under his eyelashes, smiles flirtatiously with half of his mouth. Ohno just watches him closely, eyes a little wider than usual.
"Sex?" Nino says.
Ohno starts at that, and stutters, "Kazu, I." Hah! Nino leans in and nuzzles soothingly at the side of Ohno's face and Ohno's breath eases out in a whoosh. "You're you," says Ohno helplessly, "so of course, of course I love you, I just - I'm so stupid," halfway under his breath but of course, because he's speaking in Nino's ear, Nino can hear all of it.
Nino wants to laugh. His ears are freezing, snow is seeping inside his stupid stylish shoes, he's trapped in a parka with Ohno and his chest is inflated like a helium balloon; he's stupid with it, crazy and apparently as dimwitted as Ohno, which he would never, ever have believed, because he didn't know. Nino squeezes Ohno tighter, and he can't laugh, but he says "Okay, okay, okay, Oh-chan, stop -" he turns his head and kisses the corner of Ohno's mouth, slower this time. "Let's go to - let's go get a coat and some different shoes for me, then we can - I can't kiss you here."
"You can't?" Ohno says in his ear. "Wait. Wait," and shoves Nino back by the shoulders, staring at him. "What do you mean? You can't kiss me here?"
Nino rolls his eyes. "Well, I could, but I'm cold," and Ohno stares at him, bewildered, and Nino forgets to breathe. "Four hours?" he mutters.
"What?" says Ohno sharply.
Nino leans back in, nose to nose, until his mouth is so close to Ohno's that Ohno has to shut up, and he's gone breathless and cross-eyed trying to keep track of Nino. "I want to take you somewhere where my mom isn't downstairs," Nino murmurs against Ohno's mouth, "I don't know, your apartment, a dressing room, the back seat of a cab, the bathrooms at the movie theatre, I'm not sure I care at this point, and do things to you that you won't even be able to tell Jun because even he wouldn't listen."
Ohno breathes in, shaky. "Okay," he murmurs. Nino can taste riceballs on his lips. "But Jun listens to more than you think."
