Chapter Text
Nino groaned when he was woken up by an unfamiliar alarm. He rubbed his eyes and tried to remember where he was. But there was a blank. He was quite sure that he had been home when he fell asleep. Wasn’t it even in the middle of a boss fight? Urgh, he had to restart it now and that after he had gotten so far. Perhaps Ohno had found him slumped over and managed to save the game in time before it blacked out.
Nino shook his head to dislodge his thoughts and sat up. He looked around and frowned. Where the hell was he? It was neither his room nor his bed, he realised with a bit of alarm. Ah, yes alarm. The foreign one was still blaring through his consciousness. With a sigh, he looked around for the source of the sound and found a mobile phone which he didn’t recognise immediately even if it looked similar. At least he didn’t need a pin code to shut the alarm up, he thought with a small sigh. Now with the silence in the room back he took the time to look around once more.
Where did he end up? And how? Had he gotten drunk and forgotten what he did and somehow ended up in a stranger’s house? That was a terrifying thought. A shudder went through his body, and his hands gripped the sheets more tightly to breath deeply in and out until the starting panic dissolved.
His eyes fell onto his hands, and he blinked. That was definitely not his hands, he thought while the panic was creeping back. What the hell happened?
He jumped out of bed to look around now a lot more concentrated. His eyes swept around the house once more and fell on a few pictures of Arashi. Okay, so he either was at one of their friends' houses or in a house of a fan. He really prayed it was the first option. Because otherwise, he didn’t want to know what would happen to his body and to Ohno.
He needed to calm down right now, he thought. He really didn’t want to imagine some unknown fan being in his body and doing insufferable things with Ohno. Ohno was always so indulgent that he would do whatever people would ask him for. Nino rubbed his face again and tried to locate the right door of the bathroom. He needed to check who he was. Before he could step out of the door, his phone rang.
He retraced his steps back to the bedside to check his phone. It’s only because of years of working as an idol that made him conscious of phone calls to private phones. It was mostly the other members, his mother or their managers with important news.
“Bloody hell!” he swore when he saw his own name on the phone. So at least he knew this person well if they had his contact info. He looked down at himself and frowned. He knew those muscles somewhere from and for a silly moment he was delighted not to be greeted by breasts. Okay, he had already felt quite normal, so it was no real surprise for him to be a man again. At least he thought that he would feel strange if he suddenly woke up in a woman’s body. Not that he didn’t feel strange already.
The phone died, and Nino swore. He was too late to answer the call, damn! He retook the phone and tried to open the menu without a pin code. But just as he had thought he was denied. He frowned profoundly disappointed and almost let his phone fall down when it rang again.
“H… Hello?” he asked carefully as he answered the phone nibbling on his lip in utter nervousness.
“Nino?” he heard his own voice and grimaced like always when he listened to his own voice unexpectedly. One would think that you got used to your voice if you are a singer. But that never really happened for Nino.
“Yes? Somehow at least, who’s there?” he asked finally.
“It’s Sho. Are you okay?”
“Sho? I’m in your body?” Nino asked not knowing if he should be glad happy or absolutely mortified by that.
“I should think so. Since I’m in yours and you answered my phone,” Sho replied quite dryly.
Nino felt his cheeks heat up. His question had been silly he supposed. But he was a bit out of his depths here. It didn’t happen daily that one woke up in their member’s body. That only happened in movies…
Nino stopped his thought there and could feel himself growing pale. Yes, it only happened in silly romantic movies where the protagonists don’t realise they are in love until they wake up in the other one’s body. Oh my God!
“I’m not in love with you! I’m happy with Satoshi, so sorry,” Nino said fast.
Sho snorted at those words and Nino felt slightly offended. Hey, he was a cute person!
“Don’t worry me neither. I don’t know what happened, but it’s definitely not because of some unreplicated feelings,” he said.
Nino heard rustling from the other end and looked at the watch lying on the small stand beside the bed. He sighed and put a hand through his hair to sort it out a little, before opening a few doors to find suitable clothes. They had a VS Arashi shooting in an hour, and he probably should get ready to get picked up. At least News Zero shooting was already over.
“Why are you so calm?” he asked since he still felt like panicking and he was sure that his panic was already creeping into his voice. Sho, on the other hand, seemed to be completely calm.
“Satoshi-kun,” Sho answered in a soft voice, making Nino cringe.
“Hands off he is mine.”
“Chill, would you? I’m not into Satoshi either.”
“Your loss, his butt is perfect,” Nino couldn’t stop himself.
Sho chuckled at those words and Nino could hear his grin through the phone. “I will keep that in mind. But I think Satoshi-kun will be a bit spooked if I grabbed his butt. Why I called: Do you know what happened?”
“Uhm, no? I was playing a game and then fell asleep in the middle of it. I think. I can’t remember how I fell asleep though. But the last thing I do remember is me playing that game.”
“Strange…” Sho sighed. “Perhaps we can find out what happened when we meet at the agency. My manager should arrive at mine… yours? Whatever… in around 20 minutes so please get ready.”
“Yes, mother. I didn’t think I could do anything else but meet you there. By the way. How did you manage to unlock my phone? It’s creepy. Do you have my code? Can I get yours?”
“Uhm… Nino? You do remember that those new phones normally have these fingerprint sensors?” Sho asked slowly. “Also, I’m sure Satoshi-kun would have told me your code… By the way: He is really creepy. When I woke up, he directly knew I wasn’t you.”
Nino groaned at first and hit his forehead. God of course. Having Sho’s body meant that he had also his fingers… Oh well, nevermind… At the words about Ohno, a smile crept on his face. Of course, Ohno would realise something wasn’t right, right away. Trust his perfect boyfriend to be even more perfect than people would think. “Of course… How strange do you think it would be if I kissed him as soon as we meet?” Nino asked only half-serious.
“Don’t even think about it. Don’t do anything with my body without my permission,” Sho grumbled. “Only things that are needed to make sure that it’s looked after and nothing more.”
“Spoilsport…”
“Nino!”
“Yeah, yeah don’t worry I won’t deflower your body or anything like that. Until later I should shower and check out these abs a bit closer.”
Nino ended the call with a smirk before sighing and rubbing his forehead. Okay, first shower then getting ready for work, he thought, and of course no touching.
