GAME OVER, GAME STARTED

“Ninomiya Kazunari san.”

Nino rose from the chair and repaired his t-shirt, stepped to a room in the spa center where he decided to relax a bit. He needed to kick somebody’s ass right now and that was his ex-boyfriend who just dumped him a week ago without any particular reason. The staff stopped in front of a door and let Nino entered first.

“Enjoy your time Sir.” the staff bowed politely to him and Nino saw someone else approached.

“I’ll be your therapist for today Sir, my name is Aiba Masaki.” the man smiled and bowed to him. Nino nodded and headed the fitting room to change his cloth. As he finished, he returned to the room he just left and saw the man named Aiba already waited for him on the massage mattress. Nino climbed up and turned on his stomach. His back bare skin felt cold due the air conditioner blew in the room strongly.

Nino shut his eyes and Aiba began to touch his back with spa oil.

“Is this your first time to be here Sir?” he asked while massaging his back.

“Mmmmm.” Nino answered shortly, his mind still filled of his broken heart a week ago, and he was not in the mood to talk.

“You have smooth skin.” that Aiba guy praised him and Nino mumbled soft thanks. Now he tried to kick his ex from his head, but he just can’t. He made many unnecessary mistakes in his job this whole week and he just wanted to relax, forget everything. The massage felt so comfort and he fell asleep accidentally.

“Ninomiya san, it finished.” he heard a voice beside him. Nino blinked, trying to adjust with his surrounding and found a face. He needed few seconds before recognizing where he was right now.

“Sorry.” he covered his skin with the cloth and get up from the spa bed.

“Thank you.” he said to the tall man and the other smiled again to him. Nino changed into his outfit and walked out of the salon. He took a deep breath and half of the way he found his friend, Jun, walked towards him.

“Busy?” Nino asked.

“As usual Nino.” the man answered. His friend worked as a police detective and Nino knew he chased after a drugs dealer these last three months. As far as his friend told him, that tall guy got the clues clearer than before and sure that he will arrest that bad man soon.

“You don’t look so happy.” Jun commented as they entered the ramen shop and order two bowls. Nino shook his head.

“Love matter?” Jun asked. He withdrew many photos from his bag and put them in a line on the table, Nino stared to the photos and say, “That bastard dumped me without any reason.”

Jun looked at him and sighed, “I told you, love will always hurt you. Damn, I need to arrest this man as fast as I can.” Jun pointed a blur picture and Nino took a glance, noticed Jun’s effort to change the subject so he won’t be so deep in his sorrow, Nino will always grateful for Jun’s understanding like this.

He had heard about this drugs dealer, a man named Ohno Satoshi who committed crime and spread the worries among the youth by alluring them to buy drugs from him and destroyed their future, but Jun still haven’t catch him, this man is like an eel who had special ability in hiding from the police.

“Good luck for you, I hope you can arrest him before he shoots you first.” Nino took the chopsticks when the ramen served in front of him.

They talk about many things and Nino decided to come back home after that. He waved good bye to Jun and headed his house, flopped his back to the bed. He thought that he will go the spa center again because he liked the sensation of being massage by that Aiba Masaki.

***

Nino’s job as a game designer required good imagination and full concentration which he didn’t have right now. He ate the bread on his hand and feel exhausted all of sudden, even though he can’t complete any game today. He turned off his computer and walked out of his office to enjoy the scene outside in the street, watched people there and he saw someone he had seen before.

“That is Aiba san.” he mumbled to himself, stalked the man who was surrounded by two other men. Seems that they have important business but Aiba walked further from them, shaking his head strongly and the other two frowned badly, wore their sun glasses, walked on opposite way. Nino paid attention to Aiba who already disappeared to the crowd.

Two weeks after that he found himself lying on the spa bed and he already told the receptionist that he wanted Aiba as his therapist. He didn’t know why, but he really wanted to know this man better. So he told himself not to fall asleep, he wanted to talk.

“Ninomiya san, konnichiwa.” Aiba welcomed him with the same smile as before and Nino replied properly this time.

“Konnichiwa, Aiba san.” Nino let the other take care of him and he paid attention to Aiba’s wrist which can be seen through the mirror across the room. It looked like many scars scattered there and Nino couldn’t help himself from asking.

“Aiba san, what’s wrong with your hand?”

Aiba kept silent for a moment. He continued to massage Nino before finally answered, “This is a part of my dark past Nino san, and I regret it so much, I am glad that I can come back to the right way.”

“Dark past?” Nino was so curious but he didn’t dare to ask any further, afraid that Aiba will feel discomfort so he changed the topic and asked the therapist about random topic such as how long that he has been working here and whether he liked his job or not.

“Maybe we can go for drink next time.” Nino suggested and Aiba only nodded weakly. He bowed and thanked Nino professionally when he left the room. Nino has a theory of himself about the scars on Aiba’s arm and he wanted to proof his theory so he contacted Jun the next day.

“Hello J, do you have a second?”

“Yes Nino what’s wrong?”

“Errr I want to know whether you have any track record about someone named Aiba Masaki?” Nino tried to make his voice as innocent as he can.

“Is he really important to you?”

“Not really, if you are busy then it’s okay if you just skip it.” Nino ended the call and suddenly felt stupid.

Why he became so interested in that therapist but he just couldn’t imagine that Aiba had a very dark past. Maybe that guy was involved in a crime and Nino was afraid if what he thought was right. He tried to create new design for today, but there was nothing inside his mind but Aiba’s face. He shook his head and knew it won’t work to force his brain to think, so he headed his sofa and dozed off there.

Jun called him when it close to midnight. Nino searched for his phone under his back and Jun’s voice heard, “I found him in the crime record two years ago, he was involved in the use of drugs but he wasn’t arrested, he just went to therapy and released a year ago, I think he lives his normal life now.” Jun ended, “Nino, are you there?” he asked when Nino didn’t answer him.

“Yes, thank you J, good night.”

“Good night.” Jun cut off the line. Nino put his head on both of his palms and stared the ceiling of his room. A drugs addict, that cute man? He can’t imagine how Aiba could fell for such situation, but he definitely glad that Aiba got out from his addiction and rebuild his future.

“Why I care so much?” Nino hissed to himself and return to his sleep.

***

He went to the spa where Aiba works once in two weeks. The taller man answered his questions about many things. But most of them are unimportant topic, since Nino just wanted to talk to the guy. Aiba’s giggling voice was very interesting to hear and Nino liked that very much.

“Ninomiya san, your job seems so interesting.” Aiba commented when Nino told him about his job in designing a game.

“Not at all, I get confused so many times, especially when I can’t imagine the character, how it will look like on certain emotion.” Nino smiled and headed the fitting room, when he finished and get out, Aiba was standing in front of him.

“Can I have your number please?” he said shyly. Nino nodded quikcly, he just thought about asking Aiba for a drink in his off day. He gave the number to the other and he walked outside, the cold air bite his skin and he thought how he hadn’t see Jun for these two weeks. Perhaps Jun was so busy with his chasing action. Well, knew he couldn’t do anything about it, he bought some beer and walked straight home.

He had a chance to go out for drink with Aiba and he was very happy because of that. He got to know how Aiba was very easy to talk with and unexpectedly he told him about his past. He hated school, hanged out all day with his friends and one day he fell to drugs, consumed them then ended up in addiction.

“These scars, I hurt myself when I entered the rehabilitation for the first time and force myself to avoid drugs.” Aiba told him with the gloomy eyes but soon he changed his face to a brighter color, “But I am here today and I would never try such things anymore.”

“You must struggle so hard.” Nino said, didn’t know what else to say. At least Aiba free from drugs and returned to the right path.

The first thing he knew the next day was about the drugs dealer who hid in this city and when he accidentally bumped up with Jun, that guy was so desperate because he still had no clue where the dealer exactly was. Nino patted his friend’s shoulder and encouraged him that Jun will find the bad man soon.

He took separated way with Jun and when he crossed the street, he saw suspicious thing. Aiba walked between two men and they were the same men who chased him some times ago. Nino changed his direction, decided to follow them from the save distance. He heard what they were talking about.

“Masaki, you wanted to come back to us, didn’t you?” one of them hissed to Aiba and Nino saw his therapist tried to free himself but he was dragged along.

“Our boss wanted to see you, don’t scream or I will shot your head.” the other one threaten him and Nino suddenly remember about the drugs dealer case which Jun targeted these many months. He almost drew his phone to call Jun but he was afraid that he will lose the track. He followed them and pretended to looked at something in the shop’s display when one of them turned his head to him.

Nino kept the distance followed their fast steps and he gripped his phone on his hand. They headed the bar near the train station and he decided to stay outside. He searched for Jun’s number.

“J, where are you?”

“I just arrived at my office, what’s wrong Nino?? All of sudden?”

Nino looked around in panic, he tried to recognize the place, he reads the bar’s name, it’s written “Kaze Bar”.

“I think I found something which related to the man you has been chasing for. I saw two suspicious men, they dragged Aiba with them inside, and I am outside the Kaze….”

Nino found his phone was grabbed and turned off, “Do you need something?” one of the man who dragged Aiba approached him and gripped his wrist, forced him to walk in to the bar.

“Let me go.” he knew his effort was useless and he entered the dark room with many sofas and dim light. He saw Aiba was sitting at the corner of the room with someone who wore sun glasses despite they were inside an almost dark room and Nino was dragged there.

“We found an intruder.” he was pushed forward and he stood right in front of the man.

“Nino san.” Aiba saw him with the puzzled look, he squeezed his hands anxiously.

“You knew each other? Good.” the sun glasses man said. He looked at Nino through his glasses and he stood up. His height similar with Nino, the man inserted his hands to his pocket and he analyzed Nino closer.

“Would you want to try this?” the man withdrew something from his pocket, a small plastic bag. He shook that thing in front of Nino’s eyes, “Your friend loved this so much.” he pointed Aiba with his head, “He came here to get this thing again.”

“No, he will never touch it again.” Nino hissed. He glanced to Aiba who look scared and fragile on the chair.

“He’s one of my favorite boy.” the man said, “I was so sad when he left me but now he even drag his friend with him, what a treasure.” that man gave a code to his men and both of them circled Nino.

“Ohno san, please don’t involve him, I’m sorry that I left you, I just want to have another way of life.” Aiba murmured from his seat. He looked at the man named Ohno and then moved his glance to Nino. He stood up quickly and approached both of them, “Let’s get out of here Nino.” he grabbed Nino’s hand and managed to go out of the door.

“Wait.” Ohno pointed Nino’s chest with a gun, “You called someone before you go in, didn’t you?”

Nino didn’t answer. He just looked down, stared at the gun which pointed to his chest.

“Answer me.” the man threatened him but Nino kept his mouth shut.

“Ohno san, please let him go, he has nothing with this matter, just let him go.”

“But you have to try my newest product first, okay.” Ohno gave Aiba the small plastic bag and forced it to Aiba’s nose,

“Smell the aroma, it alone could make you forget anything.” Ohno continued.

Aiba took the plastic and Nino found himself was freed. He looked at the taller man with sad eyes, knowing the taller did that to save his life. Aiba almost brought the powder to his mouth when the door opened and Nino was so glad to see Jun there with many other police behind him.

“Freeze!” Jun shouted to the room, “Drop your gun shorty!” he pointed his rifle to Ohno who looked at him sharply before he drop his gun and bring his hands up, knowing he was defeated. Two of the police secured Nino and Aiba outside the bar and they must wait for almost an hour before Jun let them go.

Nino admired himself that he even didn’t scared when Ohno threatened him with the gun, but maybe because he was too stupid or too nervous, he didn’t know and couldn’t even care since he was now save, so did the taller beside him. Aiba grabbed his hand when they walked together, further from the bar.

“Thanks Nino, but that was so close, you could be killed.” Aiba stopped his steps and he hugged Nino tight to him before whispered softly “Thank you.”

***

It was two weeks after the accident. Nino spent these two weeks to create a new character for the game and he almost finished. He smiled proudly when his new character was created successfully. He made another game, but this was special. He took the soft copy and inserted it to his bag and then he stepped out to a certain place which he missed the most.

Aiba waved his hand to welcome him. He has day off and Nino planned to give him something to fill his day.

“Nino san, how are you?” Aiba smiled to him, looked so fresh with his red shirt.

“Never better.” Nino answered, “Do you want to play a game?”

“Eee?? Game?” Aiba questioned him and Nino withdrew the disc from his pocket, “Please play this game until the end, don’t give up half way, you’ll find the answer.” Nino handed the disc to Aiba’s hand who took it doubtfully.

“But I am not good at game.” Aiba shook his head.

“Just play, don’t think too much.” Nino left Aiba who still stood there confusingly.

Nino continued his steps to his apartment. He must thanks Aiba’s presence because he could forget his broken heart since he knew that man and maybe he can build a new relationship with Aiba onwards, but only if Aiba wanted it, that was what Nino tried to asked the other.

He flopped his back to his sofa, the game which he gave to Aiba contain the similar character with Aiba himself. Nino made it look alike with the tall man and he hoped Aiba was not too stupid to be able to finish the game. He waited, normally he just needed 30 minutes to finish one game but it was almost an hour and there was no report from Aiba. He was so sure that Aiba will call him if he already finished since there’s a surprise which awaits him in the end.

Two hours passed, Nino is tired of waiting and he fell asleep on his sofa, when he woke up, it was already dark outside. He yawned, checked his phone, and found his inbox empty.

He rose from the sofa, maybe Aiba decided to ignore the message in the end of the game. He was too disappointed so he took a long bath and considered himself as a stupid moron. He stayed awake by playing his own favorite game and it was almost midnight when he heard a knock on his door. He paused the game and walked to the door, opened it and saw Aiba was standing there.

“I’m sorry, it took me so long to finish the game.” Aiba blushed when he said those words and Nino couldn’t react better than chuckled to the tall man in front of him.

“So?” Nino questioned. He almost give up, thought that Aiba will never finish the game.

“Thank you.” Aiba continued, “Someone like me…” he murmured, but didn’t say anything further.

“Someone like you can make me fall.” Nino continued his unfinished sentence and they look at each other. Aiba took his hand and said, “Is it okay for Nino?”

Nino nodded and smiled, Aiba is a nice person who fell for something wrong once but Nino believed that Aiba will stay as a nice person from now on. He pulled Aiba inside and they sat together at the carpet, “Want to play again?” Nino handed the stick to him.

Aiba took it and paid attention to the screen, “I’ll beat you.” Aiba giggled by his own words and they start to play the game.

That was the words written at the end of the game that Nino gave to Aiba.
