WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE AGAINST YAOI. 

Author Notes: so this is the first fic challenge from my friend that wants me to make a fic with military theme, especially an air force. the making of this fic is really challenging because I only got 3 days to finished it and must checked through several fighter jet videos, also asking to my mom about an air force because my grandfather used to be a member of Indonesian Air Force. This fic was made to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Indonesian Army Forces and I managed to finished it on October 5th, the same day as the anniversary of Indonesian Forces. 

I'm also very sorry if there's any mistakes in this fic regarding the army.

I might be the first to write this theme for a JxIno fic :D anyway, please enjoy.

KISSING IN THE COSMOS (Second Part)

Today is still Jun's day off and Inoran decided to take him to an amusement park, along with their friends, Sugizo and Shinya. Sugizo and Shinya are actually their senpai when they were in school and Inoran used to hang out with them. They once created a band but when Jun went to the military, the band was disbanded.

"Hey, fighter," Sugizo give a friendly hug to Jun. "How's your job?"

"Just fine. I got an air show after this, so today might be the last day I can have some fun," Jun grins.

Inoran stares at Jun for a while. That bad feeling comes again after he heard those words. But today they supposed to have some fun, so he tried his best to not showing his worries to Jun.

They spend the day taking the fun rides and that includes riding one of the most intense roller-coasters in Japan. Shinya passed that ride because he's afraid of heights, Sugizo decided to accompany Shinya, so only Jun and Inoran that ride the roller coaster.

The Fujiyama roller coaster got a top-peak as high as 79 meters and by the time they get on the ride, Inoran already feels so excited. He always deals with speed in a car race, but high-speed combine with an extreme height? That's definitely what Jun always has to deal with.

The train starts to climb up to the top hill. Jun looks very excited.

"If it's an F-15, the acceleration will be much faster, right?" Inoran try to break the silence.

"Of course. And we can go up vertically after a take-off. On a high-speed." Jun grins.

"Dealing with this kind of thing must be very easy for you now."

"Yeah," Jun said. "But it's different. Although in here, you can feel a little bit of g-force that I have to deal whenever I'm flying."

The train almost reach the top hill.

"Are you afraid?" Jun stares at Inoran for a while.

"Eh? No! I'm excited!" To be honest, Inoran feels a little bit nervous right now. He doesn't expect that being on this ride will be this intense.

"Don't lie. You're afraid, right?"

"No, I'm not!" Inoran keep denied that he feels nervous. It may look so stupid that he get nervous riding this roller coaster after he told everyone that he took the same air force entry test with Jun.

The train now arrives at its top hill and seconds later, it goes down with a high-speed. Inoran screaming while Jun just laughing with happiness. He takes a glance at Inoran that still screaming beside him and decided to take his hand and entwined their fingers. Inoran hold his hand so tight while Jun just grins.

After they finished the ride, Sugizo and Shinya that waiting for them notice their entwined fingers.

"So, did you confess your love while screaming up there?" Sugizo grins.

Inoran quickly release their joined fingers. "What are you talking about? That roller coaster is so intense! I only have time for screaming!"

Shinya silently approaching Jun, "you should try to ask him if you really care for him."

"I can do that later," Jun replies, watching Inoran and Sugizo that walk in front of them. Then as his eyes caught sight of another cool ride, he taps Inoran's shoulder. "Hey, before I take you riding my Pyro, how about a warm-up first?" Jun points at the Takabisha, the world steepest roller coaster.

"I pass. I'm gonna die if I ride that," Shinya commented.

"That's really extreme," Sugizo also commented. "But well, I might take it."

"Okay, I'm in." Inoran said.

Even though Sugizo said that he's gonna join them, but at the end, it's only Jun and Inoran again that rides the roller coaster.

It's more extreme than before and even though it's fun, Inoran's face looks pale. Jun sits next to him on the bench, gives him water and tries to calm him down.

Despite his condition, Inoran said that he's very excited with that and smiles happily to Jun after he said that he's gonna wait for the chance to fly together with him. Jun actually wants to hugs Inoran that time, but he decided not to do it. He only smiles back at Inoran. At least, Inoran is happy today and that also brings happiness to him too. Nothing is more precious than to see Inoran’s smile.

--------------------------------------------------

It's time for Jun to come back to his dorm. Inoran decided to accompany him back to his headquarter.

As Jun stepped out from Inoran's Ferrari, one of his friend, Ryo, greeted him. Ryo is Jun's kouhai, he always have a high respect to Jun, especially after Jun taught him several trick on playing bass.

What Jun didn't know is that Ryo is also a fan of car race, more exactly, he's a fan of Inoran. So when Inoran stepped out from the car too, he gets over-excited and approaching Inoran.

"So you really are friends with Inoran! I'm your fans, Inoran-san! I always support you!" Ryo cheerfully said to Inoran.

"Jun-san always kept your photos on his locker. Our leader once thought that you are his girlfriend," Ryo said before Jun quickly shut his mouth and walks away with him.

Inoran watch them with a smile. He still has this worries feeling right now. Although he already convinced himself that everything is gonna be okay, but deep down inside he's really afraid because he never felt something like this before.

------------------------------------------------

Inoran hits the gas pedal but he still can't pass the car in front of him. As a result, he finished second today. He feels slightly pissed off. But he knows it because he loses his concentration.

Ever since Jun gave him the ticket to his air show, he can't stop thinking about that. His worries are getting stronger.

Inoran sigh. Maybe it's because he’s too tired, that's why he imagining things like that. He decided to take a break after this championship ends.

His personal manager can only agree with him, thinking that maybe he will be more focused after he takes a break.

Inoran holds the ticket to the air show as he went home.

'Everything is gonna be okay. Jun won't make a mistake.' He keeps repeating those words inside his mind. After all, Jun already got more experience about flying the fighter jet. He knows what to do on tomorrow's air show.

-------------------------------------------------

"You should have pulled up a few seconds earlier than that," one of his team commented when they enter the changing room.

"Yeah, I kinda messed up with that," Jun grabs his shirt that he keeps in the locker.

"Do not make any mistake, even though the audience might not realize that, but we know it, a few seconds can turn into a disaster."

Jun nods.

"Hey, your cute friend is going to watch us tomorrow, right?" Takashi, one of his team-mate approaching him and wraps his arm on Jun's shoulder.

"Inoran? Yeah, he's gonna come."

"Well........ Do you think he likes man? I mean, someone like me," that words makes Jun suddenly laugh.

"Oh, come on, he already got a girlfriend."

"Takashi-san, you better not expecting so much," Matsuda, another team-mate commented. "He already belongs to J."

Jun grins, closing his locker and wear his shirt.

"Really?" Takashi stares at Jun.

"Of course. J likes him so much, right J?"

Jun replies them with a smile. "I'm leaving," he grabs his cellphone, informing Inoran about the formation that they will performed tomorrow through a message. He will do a solo maneuver tomorrow, so he must make sure that Inoran will watch him performed.

--------------------------------------------------

The day finally comes. Inoran, accompanied by Sugizo, Shinya and Ryuichi already arrived at the airport to watch the air show. Lots of fighter jets, several small plane and helicopters can be seen near the runway.

Inoran looks so excited. He always loved an air show like this, and today he will watch Jun performed an aerobatic play with his beloved F-15.

After a few attractions, now it's time for the F-15 team to perform.

Inoran looks up to the sky, his heart beating so fast. His feeling is mixed between anxiety and worries. He can only pray that this show will be a great success and Jun is safe.

Four fighter jets take off. At first, Inoran doesn't recognize which one is Jun's, but when he see the fire sticker, he let out a smile, "that's Jun," he said, almost shouting to his friends, pointing at the middle front fighter jet.

"Jun, ganbare!" He knows that his shout won't reach him, but that make his friends also shout Jun's name.

The F-15 team makes several maneuvers, including the one where they fly above the audience heads, then separate themselves into five different directions. Inoran can see that Jun's plane is heading vertically to the sky and he can guess that Jun is going to do the loop.

Suddenly, the promise bracelet that he always use broke off. Inoran seems surprised with that, because it never broke off before. He kneels down to grab the bracelet that broke into two and as he looks up, he realizes the meaning of the bad feeling that he always felt recently.

------------------------------------------------

"Okay team, let's go!" The instructor said before they go to their own jets.

Jun is a little bit nervous right now, it's the first time he's being the middle one on his team and do the solo maneuver.

He releases his breath, slaps his face several times and put his hand on the rudder. He must not make any kind of mistakes today. He must stay calm.

'Remember Jun, after this is over, you can have another date with Ino,' he tried to suggest himself with that thought.

The engine is on.

The preparation is done.

Jun waits for the ground officer to give the signal that it is okay to take off. Once the signal is given, he start to take off vertically and then joins up with his team, making a formation. They fly across the audience stage and then after that, Jun must separate from his team and doing a single maneuver.

It all went smooth, Jun managed to do the vertical climb and he's about to turn around by doing the loop when suddenly something went wrong. He can't pull up. He tried so hard, handling the rudder so the plane would climb up but failed. He's now falling with a high speed to the ground. Only a few seconds away before he definitely will be smashed into the ground. He do the last thing he could remember, which is ejected from the plane, although he definitely will get serious injuries in this kind of speed. He got no choice left.

He couldn't remember anything, because it all went so fast. All he could feel now is just an extreme pain on his body, he can't move his leg, his head feels very dizzy and then there's a huge fire. It's Pyro, the fighter jet that he always used, now already turn into a ball of fire. Many people come to him and quickly helped him, taking him into an ambulance. His sight starts to blurred. It may be just an illusion but he thought he saw Inoran's face among those people that came to him. Maybe just an illusion.

Jun closed his eyes.

-------------------------------------------------

Inoran put the flower that he brought to the vase near the hospital bed. Jun's older sister is there, sitting next to his brother, but when she sees Inoran is coming, she stand up and give the seat to Inoran.

Jun is awake. He got a fractured left leg, with a serious injury on his hand and his head wrapped in a bandage.

It's already a few days passed after that incident. Inoran knew from Jun's mother that Jun probably can't be a fighter jet pilot anymore. That makes Jun feels depressed and his family wants Inoran to always stay by his side, because Inoran is the only one that can makes Jun feels better. That makes Inoran mostly spend his days on the hospital, causing him to finally break up with his girlfriend. He just can't leave Jun, especially in times like this.

A nurse comes, saying that it's time to have a checkup on Jun's condition. Inoran helps Jun moving from the bed to the wheelchair and still accompany him during the checkup.

Starting tomorrow, Jun can start the physiotherapy until he could finally recover and walk normally again.

As Inoran pushed the wheelchair after Jun finished the checkup, Jun said, "I'm really pathetic."

"No, you're not. Stop calling yourself like that."

"I supposed to die that time."

Inoran stops pushing the wheelchair then standing in front of Jun. "Go ahead. Kill yourself, you stupid!"

Jun let out a sigh.

"Listen, you still have me! You can still recover from this! You still have your own future!"

"But I can't fulfill my promise!"

"Who the fuck cares about that promise! I don't mind if you can't filled our promise! As long as you can still live," Inoran stares at Jun. "If you can't be a jet pilot again, you can take another job, like a musician. We can create our band again. Your future isn't gonna stopped just because you can't be a pilot or joining the army anymore." Inoran grabs Jun's hand. "Let's try it, okay?"

Jun keeps staring at Inoran. Deep inside he knows that Inoran is right. Although he still feel disappointed to his own self that he missed to double checked his plane that time. He feels disappointed that he failed to make a good performance. He feels disappointed that this accident makes him have to give up his dream.

"I need time to think about it," Jun trying to move away from Inoran.

"I'll join you if you really want to revive our band again," Inoran's words makes Jun turns his head again.

"And how about your career?"

"Being musician is more fun," Inoran smiles. "We can be ourselves when we create our music. I'm not really good at competitive sport like that."

That makes Jun smiles too. He realized now who is the one that he wants in his life. Only Inoran.

----------------------------------

Two years later

"Wait, are you kidding?" Inoran stares at Jun with disbelief.

"It's alright. I already got permission," Jun said that with confidence. He gives Inoran a helmet because they're going to ride his bike.

Inoran seems a little bit hesitate before he finally accepted the helmet and put it on his head.

Jun sits on his bike after putting on his own helmet and turn on the engine. "I already made a promise to you, right?"

"And I already told you that you don't need to do that promise again." Inoran take the seat behind Jun, he wrapped his arms on Jun's waist.

Jun doesn't say anything, he just drives his bike away, crossing the streets, through the hustle of the traffic and going on until they reach the more quiet area. They arrived to the small airport base that often used as a training place for pilots. A small plane already moved from inside the hangar to the side of the runway.

Inoran felt a little bit nervous now as they are approaching that place.

Jun parked his bike in the parking lot and walk to the building. Inoran walk behind him and he takes the time to watch everything around him when Jun talking to some guys who worked there.

The sky is clear today. The weather is nice. Perfect for a trip using a small plane.

Inoran used to travel by plane when he was a racer, but this is the first time he takes a flight with Jun as the pilot. He have to admit that he still have a trauma of what happened to Jun during the air show years ago. He can still remember when he saw Jun bleeding from his head, unconscious and being taken to the ambulance. He even had a trauma whenever he saw a fighter jet flying above him after that accident.

"Alright, everything will be ready in a few minutes. Let's get on the plane," Jun grabs Inoran's hand, guiding him to enter the Cessna plane that already parked there.

They get in to the cockpit area. Jun sits on the pilot seat, Inoran beside him. "I actually didn't know what to do here." Inoran says.

"Don't worry, I already passed the training to make this thing fly," Jun grins and prepare everything that he needs to check before the flight.

"Okay...." Inoran fasten his seatbelt, "you know, ever since I saw you that day, I had a trauma of taking a flight."

"I know, that's why I do this." Jun starts the engine, doing his report and it just needs a few minutes before they finally take off.

Inoran looks scared at first but when he sees the scenery below, that fear turns into an excitement. "Woow. I really regret that I failed the pilot test," he commented.

"It's much easier to do this than making the F-15 fly," Jun replies. He takes him wandering around for a moment before he finally says, "actually, I have one regret that always stuck in my mind."

"What? That you failed to perform and your parents told you to quit the air force?"

"Nope." Jun takes a sharp turn with the plane. "I always regret that during my time in air force team, I never said about my feeling, until it was too late. I really thought I was going to died back then. Luckily, I'm still alive, so I won't let this chance slip away anymore."

"That's good! You shouldn't waste any chances now..."

"I love you." Jun take a glance at Inoran. "I really do love you."

Inoran doesn't expect this at all. "What?!" He stares at Jun with a surprise look on his face.

Jun laugh. "Why? Is that wrong?"

"No... I mean... Me? Really? Since when?"

"Since we met."

"..... Really?"

"No, I'm just kidding."

"Junjun....."

Jun turns around once more before preparing for the landing. He glance at Inoran who still thinking about Jun's words, moves his body closer and give him a brief kiss on his lips, that makes Inoran's face turns red.

"Stay beside me, Ino-chan. I want you to stay in my life."

Inoran looks confused. "Is this a joke too?"

"Nope. I really meant that."

Inoran just stay quiet for a while. As they approaching the runway and about to do landing, he finally says, "we are twinbee, right? We'll never be separated."

Jun managed to do landing. "One more thing...."

"Which is?"

"I don't know how to stop this plane."

"Whaaaat?! Oh God, Jun, you must be kidding, right?!" Inoran looks panic.

Jun just laugh. At least he already got the answer that he needs.

He managed to stop the plane nearly at the end of the runway.

Today is definitely another day to remember in his life.

------------------------------------------

Inoran awakes because of the noise that came from his living room. He put a pillow on his head and back to sleep again, but the noise still disturbs him.

He sighs and decided to move from the bed.

"Geez, turn the volume down, will you? It's so noisy." Inoran rubs his eyes while complain to the man who is now sitting on the carpet, wearing only his boxer shorts and his hand holding the game controller.

Jun laugh and do what Inoran told him to. "Come here, have a sit."

Inoran stares at him for a moment, then sitting on his lap, leaning his head on the man's shoulder. He can see the necklace that Jun wears, the same necklace now wrap around his neck, a proof that they are now on an intimate relationship.

"Junjun, do you really miss your times with them?" Inoran asks when he stares at the TV screen. Jun is playing another fighter jet simulation game.

"A little bit," Jun wraps his hand around Inoran's body. "It's easier in a game. Imagine if we are riding on this plane like this," Jun intentionally moves his hand lower, almost touching Inoran's private area. "You can't drive it while being naked," Jun laugh.

Inoran turns his head up, touching Jun's face and kiss his lips passionately, licking Jun's lips and playing with his tongue.

"And you definitely can't drive it while having sex, right?" Inoran gives him a teasing wink.

"Of course." Jun stops the game, put the controller away and makes Inoran turns his body, so he’s now sitting on Jun’s lap while facing him. Jun’s hand starts to caress Inoran’s back and getting lower when Inoran wraps his arms around Jun’s neck.

"Jun..."

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

Jun gives him a sweet smile, "I love you too," he mumbles that words before kissing Inoran's lips once again.
