I really don't know what this turned into, but that makes it unexpected, right? ...please enjoy :D

Jun hasn’t discussed the show with him, yet, beyond a few vague statements of “good work,” and “take care of your health while you’re at it.” The Monday after the fourth episode airs, Nino walks into work, bracing himself for the usual onslaught of Jun speculating on the plot and yelling at him for things Koichi has done. It doesn’t come.
They’re on break (VS is back to back today), when Aiba suddenly turns to Nino on the couch and asks:
“Are you in love with your sister?”
“What the fuck?” Nino starts, sitting up.
“Is Koichi in love with his sister,” Sho corrects, shoving Aiba.
“Oh,” Nino says, deflating. “Keep watching. It gets clearer.”
Aiba laughs, fingers unclenching from the arm of the couch.
“Sorry,” he says.
Nino rolls his eyes, a bit frustrated with himself when they come to rest on the back of Jun’s head. Jun is buried in HunterxHunter, trying desperately to catch up with Ohno.
“This sure is an interesting chapter,” Ohno says with an uncharacteristically wicked smile, holding his book up a little higher so that the volume number is directly in front of Jun’s face.
“Are you watching?” Nino asks.
“I’m getting the DVD,” Ohno answers, confused. “I always get the DVDs…”
Nino nods, absolutely not watching Jun self-consciously fluff the back of his hair.

After the sixth episode, Nino is officially infuriated. He’s had at least five conversations with Aiba explaining his character’s family tree, and even Sho has started reading the book.
Nino doesn’t so much invite Jun over as he tells him to be there at eight. Jun shows up with a bottle of Nino’s least favorite wine and a thin smile.
“Why aren’t you watching my show?” Nino demands, as soon as Jun removes his shoes.
In Nino’s script, the question had come much later.
“Maybe I don’t feel like spending my Friday nights with you,” Jun responds, curtly.
In Nino’s script, Jun had confessed to secretly watching the show, but pretending that he wasn’t, because...
“Why not?” Nino asks, more confused than anything else.
Jun sighs and steps back into his shoes. Nino grabs his arm, glaring.
“If we have a problem, you have to tell me.”
“It’s exhausting,” Jun says, as though this is an explanation.
Nino frowns in a way that indicates it is not.
“Being around you all day, and then seeing you on the weekends, and then watching you on TV, and never,” Jun sighs. “It’s a lot.”
“You watch everything,” Nino says, loosening his grip on Jun’s sleeve. “You watch Shimura Doubutsuen.”
Jun smiles weakly.
“Sorry.”
“Explain,” Nino asks, again, and even he knows it’s a whine.
Jun opens his mouth, closes it, frowns down at his bottle of wine, and then curses under his breath before leaning in.
