the ace of diamonds
[ohno/sho + nino/sho + aiba/jun] [pg-13] [au+humor+fluff+angst]
The ace of diamonds has come to mean many things for them--
"You've been working too hard again, ace..."
"I miss you, you cold-blooded jerk!"
"I'm home... I'll always be waiting for you, Sho-chan..."
Kazu would slip one into Sho's pockets, his wallet, his planner, his toiletry bag, whenever he starts feeling neglected.
Whenever he comes home to an empty house after front acting for some band for weeks.
Whenever he goes to sleep and wakes up in a bed that feels emptier than it did the night before—
"Why the ace of diamonds, though?" Sho once asks on a rare lazy night after they've just been fooling around on the couch.
"Because it's not quite a heart yet," he says. "Like you, it's not quite ready for love."
"Kazu--"
"It's fine." He reaches out and thumbs a heart-shaped trail on the pouting guy's cheek. "Musicians are single-minded bastards, remember?"
