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

"Look, look," Jun Onose, 15 years old, pointed to the sky as several fighter jets crossing their place.

"Whoaaaaaa, that's cool!" Kiyonobu Inoue, also 15 years old, stares at the sky with admiration looks on his face.

"I want to be like them!" Jun is totally fascinated by the attraction that the air force showed today.

"We really can be a pilot like them?" Kiyonobu asked.

"Of course! I'm gonna apply to join the air force after I graduate from high school. Do you want to try it too?" Jun said cheerfully.

Kiyonobu nods, "I hope my grades are good enough...."

"Oh, come on! You're smarter than me! We're going to be a pilot together! A jet fighter pilot! Isn't that cool?" Jun looks very enthusiast, especially after he saw the attraction from the Blue Impulse, the famous Japan Self Defense Air Force aerobatic team.

"Yeah, I would love too," Kiyonobu cheerfully smiles.

"Then, let's make a promise, we're gonna be a jet fighter pilot together!"

Jun and Kiyonobu made a pinky promise with a smile on their face.

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

Several years later

Jun re-read the announcement on the board once again. Today they announce the people that are accepted to join the air force. And his name is on the list!

"Yeah! I'm on it!" Jun shouts happily. 

Kiyonobu stand beside him, still searching for his name on the board but can't find it. At first, he thought he missed it, but when he searches for the third time, he’s sure that his name isn't on the list which means that he failed.

"How about you, Ino?" Jun asked.

Kiyonobu shakes his head. "My name isn't on the list."

"No kidding," Jun searching for Kiyonobu's name on the board, but what Kiyonobu said is true. His name isn't there. Jun stares at Kiyonobu for a while, he can't believe that Kiyonobu failed.

Kiyonobu tries his best to smile, "it's alright. Maybe because I was sick at the physical test, so I failed. Anyway, congrats! We should celebrate it!" Kiyonobu pats Jun's shoulder.

"But we promise that we will join this together! If you're not here, then what's the point of taking it?" Jun looks disappointed.

"It's okay! At least you already fulfilled our promise!" Kiyonobu finally put his hand on Jun's shoulder, making him closer to his body. "You should take it, if you waste this opportunity, I swear I won't ever talk to you again!"

"Are you sure you're really okay with this?" Jun asks again once more.

Kiyonobu nods. "Of course! One of us should make that promise comes true, right?"

Jun sigh, "well, yeah, you're right."

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

A few days after the announcement

Jun is busily packing up his stuff, because in a few days after this, he will be living in the air force dorm.

A knock on the door making him stopped and quickly open the door.

"Hi, sorry, I'm....."

"Late. Yeah, like usual," Jun grins. "But you're lucky. If you arrived here 1 hour later, I'm already left."

Kiyonobu just laugh. "Anyway, I still can't believe that you're the chosen one. Remember when we're in school and nobody believed that you want to be a pilot?"

"Yeah, they're probably still can't believe it too." Jun put his clothes on the suitcase and closing it, then taking his bass too.

"Are you going to take it with you?" Kiyonobu points at the bass.

"Of course. This is my treasure. I still can play music there." Jun walks down the stairs, Kiyonobu followed him from behind.

Actually, it's hard for him to see Jun leaving him like this. They used to be together ever since they met in junior high school until now. They never be apart, even their friends called them the twinbee. But now, Jun must leave him, and he doesn't even have any idea when he can meet Jun again. He also has to accept that someday he probably could lose Jun forever, if Jun was given a task in the war zone.

"Hey," Jun's voice makes him staring at Jun again.

"What?"

"Give me your hand," Jun said.

Kiyonobu stares at him with a confused look. "What are you......" Nevertheless, Kiyonobu do what he told him to. Jun tied his wrist with a black bracelet.

"This is our promise bracelet." Jun explains, and showing Kiyonobu the same bracelet on his wrist. "We're the twinbee, right? We should wear something similar, so that we can always be together."

Kiyonobu finally smiles. "Take care of yourself, Jun." He gives Jun one last hug.

"You too, Ino-chan." Jun hugs him close before finally he releases it. "Don't forget about me when I'm away, ok?"

"I won't. Trust me."

"I'm gonna call you when I have a break. We should hang out together again someday!" Jun said before he waves his hand and enters the car, leaving Kiyonobu who silently drop his tears when Jun's car is moving away from him.

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

Several years later

A fighter jet flies across the sky. Inoue Kiyonobu releases his helmet and stares at the sky with a smile. It must be him, doing his usual exercise with his team.

"Great job, Inoran-kun!" A man approaching him, congratulated him.

"Thanks, Ryuichi-san," Inoue Kiyonobu or mostly known as Inoran replies him with a smile. "I still have a few things that need to be fixed though." He keeps staring at the sky.

"Isn't your friend joins the air force?" The man named Kawamura Ryuichi also staring at the sky. He can still seeing the fighter jet doing a maneuver from far away.

"Yeah," Inoran smiles again. "I was supposed to join them too." 

"So, what do you want to fix?" Ryuichi asks.

"Oh, right," Inoran walking back to his car and explain it to Ryuichi. Even though he still have a regret and envy with Jun but now he's also dealing with speed as a racer.

He takes a glance at the bracelet that still wrapping his left wrist. He never takes off this bracelet ever since Jun gave it to him years ago.

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

Finally Jun got a day-off. There's gonna be an air show weeks later, so they have to intensified their practice after this, that's why Jun won't let the chance to take a rest for a while slip away.

He contacted Inoran after he grabs his backpack and leaves the air force headquarter; luckily Inoran is free from his race schedule too today, and they promise to meet up tonight.

Once he arrived at his house, Jun goes into his bedroom and lying on the bed. It feels so good to be back to his own room. Without even notice it, he slowly close his eyes and drifted to the dream world.

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

"Do you have plan for today?" A girl asks Inoran who still enjoying his smoke and beer.

"Yeah, I'm gonna hang-out with Jun tonight. He just got a day-off."

The girl pouts. "But you said you're going to accompany me.."

"Sorry." Inoran blow out the smoke from his mouth.

Then the girl whining about why Inoran always makes Jun his number one and can easily cancelled their date just because Jun asked them to meet up.

Well, he doesn't know why either, but for him, Jun is the most important person in his life, and somehow, Inoran had a feeling that he will regret it later if he didn't hang-out with Jun when he got a time to do it.

He knows that Jun is doing a very high-risk job and maybe he just afraid that something might happen to Jun after this. Who knows what's gonna happened in the future, right?

The girl keeps on whining beside him and he got no choice than to say, "let's have a break."

The girl stares at him with disbelief, but then taking her handbag and left him.

'Geez, woman is so hard to handle,' Inoran said to himself. He takes his car key and walks away from that place, going to the parking lot, enter his car and drive to another bar, where they promised to meet up.

Inoran knows it's still too early to come, but it's better than being late.

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

Jun wakes up and stares at the ceiling of his room. He just had a dream about Inoran. In his dream, he saw Inoran was crying beside him, holding his hand, while his own hand covered in blood.

He never sees Inoran crying like that before and somehow that makes him a little bit afraid. Afraid of something that might happen to him, like in that dream.

Jun sigh and moved from the bed then goes into the bathroom. He tried to convince himself that it’s just a dream. A dream doesn't necessary mean a premonition for his future.

Once he's done taking a bath and prepares himself, he leaves the house, riding on his bike to the bar where Inoran already wait for him.

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

Inoran just stares at Jun as he sits in front of him, enjoying his beer.

"You shouldn't drink too much," Inoran finally smiles.

"Oh, fuck that, I'm on day off today, so let me enjoy my life for now," Jun replies with a small laughter on his face.

"Are you going to leave Japan again?"

"Nope," Jun put the glass back on the table. "They put my name on the air show that will be held here. That's why after this I must go through the intense training again."

Inoran turns his gaze to the glass in front of him. Somehow he gets an unusual feeling right now, he just can't describe it into words but it really bothers him when Jun explained everything about the air show.

"Why?" Jun notice the change in Inoran's expression and stop drinking.

"Nothing..... I think I'm just worried."

"Don't worry. I won't make any mistake." Jun pats his shoulder. "It's not the first time I'm joining an air show, right? It's harder when the commander gave me an order to eliminate everyone that violated our air territory or when they sent me off to a war."

Inoran nods. He knows that already, but still this feeling still bothering him.

Jun grabs Inoran's hand, making him staring at Jun again. "I promise someday I'm gonna take you with me, we're gonna soar into the sky, together, how about that?"

"With the F-15?"

"Hmmmm, yeah, why not? Once this air show is done, I'm gonna ask for a permission to take you with me if that is possible. Otherwise, I'm gonna take you to fly using a small plane."

Inoran finally let out a happy smile, "that would be great! I really want to know how you controlled the plane."

"What? Do you still can't believe that I can make a plane fly?" Jun laugh again.

"Yeah," Inoran laughing too. But then he said, "Junjun, do you have a girlfriend there?"

"Yes," Jun takes out his phone and showing Inoran a photo. A fighter jet, the F-15 that belong to the JASDF. "Her name is Pyro, I requested the fire sticker to be put in there," Jun points at the fire sticker on the body of the plane. "Beautiful, right?"

"Oh come on..." Inoran rolls his eyes. "I mean a real girlfriend."

Jun stares at Inoran for a few seconds, "why do you want to know?" He grins.

"I just want to know." Inoran rise up his glass and gulped down his drink.

"I do have someone that I really care," Jun keep his eyes on Inoran while Inoran just staring at the glass again.

Inoran sigh, "didn't you think that woman is very complicated?"

"Having a problem with your girl?"

Inoran nods, "always the same. They got jealous. With you."

Jun laugh so hard that makes Inoran can't help but laugh too. "See? It's ridiculous, right?"

"Someday you will understand it," Jun put his hand on Inoran's shoulder. “Someday you’ll find someone that is meant for you.”

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

After a few talks in the bar, they decided to go to Jun's house, where Inoran drink a few drinks more, along with a pack of cigarette.

They talked for hours, Jun told him about his experience while Inoran also told Jun about the race that he just won recently.

The talks stopped when Inoran yawning several times then collapsed on Jun's sofa.

"Hey, Ino," Jun shakes Inoran's shoulder slowly. But the other man won't open up his eyes. 

Jun crouching down beside him, staring at his best friend who still sleeping peacefully. He moves his hand, touching Inoran's strands of hair, and then touching his lovely face.

He remembered, one of his friends in the air force team teasing him when he saw that Jun kept the photo of Inoran on his locker. That's when Jun finally realized that he's not thinking of Inoran as his brother. He loves him. Yeah, he really loves him. Inoran is the first person that he always thinks about when he's away.

Jun keep his eyes to the sleeping man in front of him. He moves closer to Inoran, his face now just a few inches away from Inoran. Now a lot of thoughts popped out inside his mind.

A lot of what if questions that he knows he will never finds the answer of it unless he takes an action.

‘What if I kissed him now? What if he doesn't have the same feeling as mine? What would happen if he knows that I fall for him?’

Jun finally kissed Inoran's forehead. He already made his decision. He'll gonna said it to Inoran after he can fulfilled his promise to take him on a flight.

Jun strokes Inoran's hair before taking him to his bedroom.
