[Bernie-Chan] FANFIC: Wish {1/1}

[euphoric_zone]

Title: Wish
Pairing: Sakuraiba (Sakurai Sho/Aiba Masaki)
Summary: Sho dreams of Aiba, fantasizing about dream dates and private alone time. But then, it's not all sweet dreams. There are such things as nightmares in the world. Dreams and wishes are things that we never imagine will come true...or are they?

Written in Sho's Point of View.

Disclaimer: I do not own any members of Arashi. If I did, they'd be my personal slaves and I'd be the luckiest fangirl ever. Plus, Nino and Ohno would be in drag nearly everyday (MAID OUTFITS!)...then again, all the Arashi boys in drag sounds like a good idea. *evil grin* Man, I'd SO like to see that, especially NINO in drag more often. *evil laughter*

Warning: The following contains some YAOI, aka, guy x guy. Anyone squirmish or against any gay activity should not take heed of this post at all.

P.S. The following is a work of fiction. This fanfiction is also part of a challenge to myself to write fanfictions based on Arashi song titles (and or their meaning). This was written based on the song title "Wish". The fanfiction also drifts between reality and Sho's dream world.

Wish

1. A desire, longing, or strong inclination for a specific thing.
2. An expression of a desire, longing, or strong inclination; a petition.
3. Something desired or longed for.

I dream of Aiba again. His smile, his laughter, the way his eyes twinkle. I can see all the funny or weird things he does, playing in my mind, especially what he does when he's at "max tension".

I dream of him every night; I dream of us cuddling on the sofa, eating ice cream together and even dream of the two of us on the ferris wheel. My favourite are the dreams where we snuggle together in bed, having quiet, alone time. I'm ruffling your hair and we're lost in thoughts of each other. We don't have to care about our busy schedules, we don't have to mind the other Arashi members, all we need to focus on is each other. All we need, and want, is each other's company.

Dreams like those come easily, after exhausting days with little rest. My subconscious converts my desire for him into conforting dreams. Dreams in which Aiba loves me as much as I love him (though I doubt that's possible; I love him way to much - it's like an unhealthy obsession), and that we are living in our own fantasy world, wherein our time together is endless. Almost as if time has stopped.

Dreams that I believe will never come true, dreams that will remain my fantasy world - the place where I escape to, my safe haven.





Aiba is laughing, and grabbing onto my arm. All I see is him, and the warmth of his hand on my skin is comfortable. He's pointing at something in the distance, something he finds funny. I turn to look, but I see nothing.

"Isn't that funny, Sho-kun?"

I give an uneasy laugh. He's smiling at me. His hand lets go of my arm and he runs off, looking as if he's frolicking in an open field. He laughs some more, and I feel my breath catch in my throat - he has the cutest laugh. He's skipping and hopping now, like a young kid in a playground for the first time.

I hear birds chirping in the back ground, like the background music of a video game ("It's called BGM, Sakurai." Ninomiya drawls in my head, wait, Ninomiya!?). I see nothing, not even grass or the sky. All I see is Aiba and black nothingness.

The wind is blowing, I can hear it's howl, but I feel nothing. I can hear it blowing leaves off imaginary trees. Aiba is playing with them, throwing what I believe to be fallen leaves into the "sky". It is fun watching him play, watching him not unlike a protective father watching his son.

"Look Sho-kun! Aren't these pretty?"

I nod, though I see nothing. Nothing but black darkness. Aiba is running to me now, he drags me to play with him.

"Fly this kite for me, Sho-kun!"

I take an invisible kite in my hands and fly it best I can. I feel uncomfortable miming, but I would never want to make Aiba upset. I'd do anything to see him smile, it would kill me to see tears staining his gorgeous face.

He's pointing at it, grinning, telling me to make it fly higher.

"Higher, higher, Sho-kun!"

I try, tugging at an invisible string. Aiba gives a shout. I hear the sound of a string snapping. Oh. Crap.

"You broke it, Sho-kun! It's falling! You broke it!"

He's crying now, cradling the broken contraption in his arms and giving me an icy glare.

"You broke it!" he cries.

I tried to comfort him by telling him that I'll fix it. I'll buy him as many kites as he'd like but he's still crying. My heart feels like breaking. Damnit. His figure is fading away now, as if the darkness is eating him. He's leaving. I panic. I try to shout out to him. All I see is his crying figure, disappearing; fading. I choke.

"Aiba!"

He's fading, faster still. I run after him, worried. I need him.

"Aiba, don't leave me!"

He's disappeared, but I hear his voice calling out to me, ringing in my ears.

"But you broke it, Sho-kun!"

He's gone. I fall to my knees, a tear rolling down my cheek. He's gone. Gone.

"Aiba, onegai, don't leave me."

The tears are falling freely now.





"Don't worry, Sho-kun, I won't."

He's smiling at me, and cradling me head. I'm lying in his lap. It feels warm. I blink and look up at him. His eyes shine, and his hands are stroking my hair, his fingers combing through it gently. I try to sit up.

"What...happened?" I ask, still slightly disorientated and shaken.

Aiba gives me a reassuring smile.

"You were having a nightmare, but it's over now."

It fells so good, there in his embrace. I smile.

"Arigatou, Aiba."

He nods, pulling me upright (and properly seated) before snuggling up to me.

"I'll never leave your side, Sho-kun."

I glow with happiness hearing his words, I would never leave his side either. He leans forward, giving me a light kiss on the cheek before hugging me like his precious Puni-chan. I can't help but smile wider, a slight flush appearing on my cheeks. It feels hot, right there at the spot where he kissed me; as if my skin is on fire from his touch. My eyes close and I sleep, leaning against him, drawing off his warmth. It feels as if nothing can go wrong in the world with him there by my side to protect me. The nightmares will never reach me. I'm safe.





"Sho-kun?"

I groggily try to wipe the sleep from my eyes. The other four members of Arashi are staring at me intensely, with another very annoyed Manager shaking his head to convey his disappointment.

"I expected better of you, Sakurai-san. Falling asleep during a meeting. Really."

I flush red with embarassment. MatsuJun shakes his head, Aiba giggles and Ohno and Nino are too caught up with each other to bother.

"Pay attention."

I nod, wincing slightly at Manager-san's harsh tone. Aiba's comforting hand pats my shoulder reassuringly. He whispers so that Manager-san won't hear, "Later I'll take you for Ramen, and then you can meet Kasumi."

I smile weakly. Aiba grins at me, the ring gleaming on his left ring finger.






I return home late that night, exhausted with trying to keep up with Aiba's never deminishing energy level. She's beautiful, and almost as energetic as Aiba. The perfect companion and playmate.

I throw my clothes to the floor, not bothering about the messy state of my room and fling myself on the bed. I close my eyes, wishing for sleep to come, wishing to drift into my dream land; my safe haven where fantasy becomes reality.

I close my eyes and wish.

***

A/N: I originally planned for this to end with fluff, fluff and more fluff. But when I actually typed the ending out, I decided to drift away from the fluff route and opted for this instead. The title also changed from "Kitto Daijoubu" to "Wish"...I sorta feel bad for Sho-kun now. =/

Enjoy!~
