Characters: Niou Masaharu, Yagyuu Hiroshi Location: All over the island Time: Night of July 4th Rating: MA (oh, most definitely, most of which is behind the spoiler cuts) Summary: The Platinum Pair’s First Month Anniversary.
It was sometime in the evening, before the sun was even setting, when Niou carefully checked his surroundings before secretly slipping into their cave and made his way over to the bed he shared with Yagyuu after removing his shoes. He was happy that he could still get around places without being seen; all those times sneaking out of class and out of his house had paid off. He stretched a little before sitting down on the bed. He actually felt a little apologetic to his partner for having disappeared out of his sight and avoiding him all of yesterday and almost all of today, but he hoped that he could be forgiven by the end of tonight after he had found out what Niou had been planning. He stood up, taking out a piece of paper from his pocket. He looked it over at first, the front saying 'Catch me if you can. Puri.' and the back had a hand drawn map to a secluded part of the beach with a ‘X’ marking the location for Yagyuu's first clue. He smiled a bit then placed it down on the bed. He needed to get going soon; he didn't want Yagyuu to see him yet, not until he had reached the final destination, but he would be following his partner in secret, just to make sure he was going the right way and that no fool was going to take his clues by accident... or else he would shoot them with an arrow, just to scare them. Laughing a bit to himself, he made sure his note was visible before leaving the cave and hiding nearby.
Yagyuu trudged back to the cave. Sighing, he threw the little present he’d wrapped onto the bed as he took off his shoes. For some reason, Niou was avoiding him. He knew that Niou still liked his alone time and he was okay with that...although sleeping alone last night had been rather cold and lonely. Perhaps getting him a stupid present for their one month together was stupid, he thought to himself. He stared at the gift for several moments before he noticed there was a piece of paper underneath it. Curious he crossed over to the bed and picked it up. ‘Catch me if you can?’ He blinked and took a deep breath as he started to smile. He flipped it over to see if there were any clues and found the map. He picked the present up and tucked it back into his pocket, put on his shoes, grabbed a flashlight, and headed back outside, off to hunt the wild Niou in a strange habitat. He had said he would do anything for the other man, after all!
Niou followed Yagyuu quietly, keeping hidden in the jungle. The map took them half down the beach, away from everyone else. There was actually a ‘X’ that he had dug up in the sand and in the middle was another note with a golf ball he had managed to get sitting on top of it. This note had said, 'The first day we'd met, the weather was nice. Since I can't control the weather, this place will have to do.' He smiled a bit to himself at the fond memory. It was around a month since they had started attending Rikkai as first years and it was raining hard that day. Niou had taken his sweet time leaving campus since tennis practice was canceled that day and that was when he had first met him, standing by the entrance, trying to open his umbrella which chose that day of all days to not open. His first words to Yagyuu were "Just run in the rain." and then he left, running off and leaving his own umbrella there for the Gentleman. He hoped that his partner had remembered that day and didn't think that their first meeting was when he had got in trouble for the first time at school. And he hoped that he knew that he was referring to the waterfall the island had. Though, he wanted to hit himself 'cause he couldn't remember if he had ever mentioned it to his partner or not. ...maybe Akaya had when the two had spent time together? If not, then he had a way of getting his partner there.
There really was an ‘X’...and it had a golf ball in the center of it. Yagyuu stood staring at it for a moment, then picked it and the note up. The weather? When they first met? “It was raining!” he said out loud. He glanced around to see if he could spot his partner, but honestly, if Niou wanted to stay out of sight, not even he could find him. He’d gotten a reputation for being able to, mind you, but only because Niou wanted him to. Those were some fond memories, too...but not helping in this case. He reread the note. Since...it wasn’t raining, it would need to be where water was falling. Didn’t Akaya say something about that? The river where they’d caught the fish was big enough...he headed toward the hidden path to Akaya’s Secret Spot was, he’d head up river from there and hope he was right.
The waterfall was Niou's first pick of when they were suppose to meet up, but there was a better spot for that. So, when Yagyuu had made it to his secret little area, Niou kept hidden and the only thing that was there was another note with a tennis ball on the blanket that was always laid out. 'After years, I was able to feel your lips on mine again... and this time you were actually awake.' was what this note had said.
Glancing at the ever present blanket on his way to head up and find the waterfall, Yaguu was surprised to see a note with a tennis ball sitting on it. Was he close enough, then? Or was this a subsequent clue? Curious he stepped over and picked note and ball up. Reading the note, he smiled. Finding out that Niou used to kiss him in his sleep when they stayed over at each other’s houses still made him feel all warm inside. He had put aside his regret that they hadn’t gotten together before now and focused on the fact that now they were. He knew that where they had kissed the first time was on board the ship; did Niou mean there or in their cave where Niou had confessed to his long-time habit? Rowing across to the ship in the dark was not something he really wanted to do unless he was sure, so he decided to check the cave again, first. If he was wrong, it was a minor detour. He carefully placed the new note with the other two and headed back, tossing the tennis ball in the air and catching it as he went.
Niou watched as Yagyuu went over to the caves, which was not where the next clue was. Had he just went over to where the lifeboats were on the shore, he would have been able to find the clue there. He didn't want to waste any time, not with it slowly getting dark now. He drew an arrow and aimed for the tennis ball his partner was playing it. It wasn't that dark yet in which he couldn't see his target, so there would be no way he could miss. Besides tennis, he was really good at archery, hence why the archery team had always tried to recruit him for their team back then. If he didn't love tennis nor playing with Yagyuu, he might have actually joined. Niou took a deep breath. He'll have to apologize to his partner later if he'd scared him... and also to Kintarou for ruining his tennis ball, even though the kid had five other balls with him. He released the arrow, he watched it hit his target, pinning it to a tree before hiding again.
The ball he was tossing into the air disappeared suddenly as he felt something whiz by. Startled, Yagyuu stopped still so that he could evaluate what happened. Something he did in a blink of an eye, as he had learned to do on the tennis court. The ball was now pierced through and stuck to a tree with an arrow! If he wasn’t mistaken...that was Niou’s doing. The only other person who might make that shot, in this low light, was Kite-kun and he seriously didn’t think the other man would be out here shooting at tennis balls. So...that meant he was going the wrong way? Well, off to the lifeboats then. He turned and started off in the new direction, toward the beach and the boats. This was a very perplexing and very Niou-like game...he was enjoying it immensely.
After Yagyuu had walked away a bit, Niou went to retrieve his arrow and the tennis ball. He still had to return it back to its owner... even in this condition. He placed the ball into his pocket then continued to follow his partner. The lifeboats were just a substitute for the ship, just as the waterfall had been for rain. On the ground next to one of the lifeboats was an arrow with a note attached to it. 'There were moments of sadness and also moments of happiness, but this was where the truth had came out.' Referring to the cliff near the caves where they had had that long talk, after that, he had stayed by Yagyuu's side as much as he could. After Yagyuu had got the note, Niou left. He still had some last minute preparations to do and he was sure that his partner didn't need him to watch over him for this last part. There was just one more note before he would have arrived at where he wanted him to be.
The cliff overlooking the sea. That place he knew well. Yagyuu leaned against the lifeboat for a moment, holding the note. That was where he and Niou finally reconnected. He had fond memories of that day, sitting on that rock, Niou sitting astride his lap...and all those kisses. He pushed away from the lifeboat and tucked this note in with the rest. He brought the arrow along as well. He briefly thought of the other arrow that he’d left stuck through the tennis ball, but then realized that the person who shot it probably retrieved it. It didn’t surprise him that Niou had followed him. It was likely a good thing, considering how he had misinterpreted one of the clues, he thought with a smile. He started up the path to the cliff, to find that flat rock and see if he had a partner or another note waiting for him.
Niou stood over at the cliff for a moment looking down at note that he left on the flat rock with a red chrysanthemum he was lucky to find. He wonder if his partner knows that meaning of the flower. He read over the note once, 'Had we been at home, I would have had you run around all of Kanagawa to relive all the good times we had. I guess that would be for another time. Just one more place, the last place. So, follow those red petals.' then followed along the trail of the chrysanthemum petals he had made that led up to a different cliff. He stood there for a moment, looking over the place. There was blanket that he laid out under the tree there that had a folded blanket along with some containers of food that he had prepared. Surrounding it were unlit candles, which he took his time lighting each and every one of them. There was only one thing missing now. He dropped the tennis ball in his pocket on the blanket and took out one last note. 'An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.' He undid the tie he used to hold together his rat tail since it was the only red string he had and tied it around the note after rolling it up. He tied the other end of it to a low branch that held the note at eye level. Perfect. Now, he just needed Yagyuu to be here now. Niou stepped behind the tree, away from sight, putting his bow and arrows there then looked out to the ocean reflecting back the stars and moon, hoping that his partner would appreciate what he done just for him.
Love. Yagyuu looked down at the red chrysanthemum he held in his hands, his heart overflowing with that emotion. It took a moment before he could see straight to read the note. When he did, he laughed, finding room in his heart for yet more love, as he often did with Niou. All over Kanagawa, huh? He was certain he would have enjoyed that. He laughed again; he likely still would. Niou was not one to make promises lightly, after all. Yagyuu followed the red petals, unable to stop smiling...until he got to the second cliff overlook. He stopped, shocked. Candles, their flames dancing in the light wind, a blanket, some boxes; he lifted one hand to his heart which ached from all the love. When Niou did romantic, he went all out. A flutter at eye level drew his attention to the note tied there. He recognized Niou’s hair tie, how could he not after all the time he spent staring at it? He carefully untied it from the branch, then from around the note, wrapping it around one of his fingers to keep it safe. Yagyuu unrolled the note and read it. ‘Red thread...’ He found himself crying, touching that string around his finger. “Masaharu,” he choked out. “I love you, so much,” he said, looking up from the note again at the beautiful tableau Niou had created. Created for him.
Smiling to himself, Niou knew his partner would have this sort of reaction. "You know I love you just as much. Maybe more, if that is even possible." he said out loud with a small laugh as he finally moved so that he was in Yagyuu's line of vision. He didn't close the distance between them, however, not yet anyway and leaned back against the tree. He smiled a little at his partner. "I know this isn't much, but I hope you would accept it."
Yagyuu nodded. He took a step forward, then another, somehow making it, with tear-clouded vision to where Niou was standing. He wrapped his arms around his partner, his lover, and hugged him, burying his face against Niou’s neck. “Very much,” he said, his voice scratchy and muffled.
Niou wrapped his arms Yagyuu and somehow managed to get him over and down on the blanket. He moved down and removed both their shoes before curling up to his partner. He reached out and wiped away some of tears on Yagyuu's cheek before pulling him in for a kiss. "I love you, Hiroshi." he murmured before pressing their lips together. He would repeat those words as many times as Yagyuu wanted him to, but no matter how many times he would say them, they will always be true.
Every time Niou said that he loved Yagyuu, Yagyuu’s love for him grew. Which at one point he would have thought it impossible, but he had learned that there is no such thing as impossible when it came to Niou. Curled up with Niou, exchanging kisses...could life get any better than this? “Masaharu...” he kissed him again, “thank you.”
"Why are you thanking me?" Niou murmured. Yagyuu never needed to thank him for anything; if anything, he should be thanking him. He accepted Niou for everything he is. He was always there for him. He loved him regardless of everything. He owned everything to Yagyuu, yet he couldn't do much to repay him back. He kissed his partner once again. "Don't thank me for anything."
“You did this all for me, for us,” Yagyuu said, one hand raising to stroke softly along Niou’s cheek. “How can I not thank you? You are amazing and I am the luckiest man alive,” he said with another smile and another kiss.
Niou smiled a little. "This is the least I could do." he whispered. "Happy one month anniversary, Hiroshi." He kissed Yagyuu again, this time longer, deeper, as he tried to put all the love he had for his partner behind it.
“Mm.” Niou’s kisses were intoxicating and addictive and this one was even more so. “Happy one month anniversary to you too, Masaharu,” Yagyuu said once he got his breath back. He felt something hard against his hip and it wasn’t Niou. “Oh!” He reached into his pocket and pulled out the gift he’d painstakingly wrapped for his partner. “I got you something.” It was five new stone arrowheads, made out of a piece of mica he’d found, and carefully and lovingly chipped into shape by him when Niou wasn’t around. He really hope that the other liked them. It was all he could think of.
Taking the present, Niou sat up. He really didn't expect a gift; he didn't need one since Yagyuu had given him a lot already over the years they'd known each other. Slowly unwrapping it, his face lit up with a smile when he saw the arrowheads. He'd been meaning to make himself new ones for his arrows. He picked one up and examined it. It was just perfect. "Hiroshi... thank you." he said, looking over to his partner. As much he wanted to put them on his arrows, he placed them aside. "Sorry, I don't have anything to give you." He felt a little bad for not having prepared something else for Yagyuu. He took a mental note that tomorrow he would go looking for something that he could turn into a present for him.
“You gave me all this,” Yagyuu said, sitting up as well. He was happy that Niou liked his gift. Smiling, he pulled his lover into his arms and kissed him again. “It’s perfect. Of course, you realize you have set a very high bar for yourself on all our future anniversaries,” he teased his partner. He had every faith that Niou could do it, actually...because every day with him was special. He gave the other another kiss, then looked around. “You are romantic; one of the many things I love about you, you know.”
Niou climbed into Yagyuu's lap and wrapped his arms around his partner's waist. "I'm sure I could think of something." he said with a slight smirk. "But... I think I'll leave our six month anniversary to you." It was quite a coincidence that fell on the same day as his birthday. He took one of Yagyuu hands in his own then pulled his tie from his partner's finger, playing with it a bit before looking up at the other. "You didn't know I am romantic until now. Come to think about it, you're the only one that I ever all out on." he laughed a little.
“But now I do know, and I assure you that I love it about you,” Yagyuu countered. Six months...that would fall on Niou’s birthday. Yes, that was going to have to be very special. A few thoughts immediately sprang to mind; between those and the feel of the man in his lap, his pants felt more than a little tight. “Mm.” He pulled Niou close and nuzzled against the side of his throat. “And I am honored to be that person for you,” he whispered.
He hummed a little, eyes closing half-way when Yagyuu nuzzled against him. "You're the one that said that our bond won't ever break... and I believe you, Hiroshi." Niou replied with a whisper of his own. "You're stuck with me forever, you know that, right?"
Yagyuu nodded against Niou’s neck. “I’m counting on it. I look forward to terrorizing the nurses with you in some Retirement Community,” he added with a little smirk. “Teach them to knock before entering our room.” The idea of forever with Niou, his partner and lover, filled him with a bubbly happiness.
"You can terrorize them yourself; I'm not going to live in some retirement home." Niou frowned a little, not liking that idea. "No. Nah uh. You'll have to drag me there cause I'm not going there willingly." He wrapped his arms around Yagyuu's neck, sticking his tongue out a little.
“How about the help in our mansion then?” Yagyuu offered. “Little old ladies in the park? Nah, we can do that now...or at least when we get home,” he said. “No...wait, I’m supposed to be a Gentleman and not want to do that.” He grinned at Niou. “You are a delightfully bad influence on me and it is another thing I adore about you.”
"We both know that you have the blood of a trickster pulsing through your veins, Hiroshi." Niou smirked. "Yagyuu Hiroshi, the Trickster. That sounds... fun." he laughed, kissing him. "Sounds really fun."
Yagyuu kissed him back, also laughing. “You are the one who brings it out in me. Without you I am just a boring fellow.” He gave Niou another kiss. “I love not being boring when I’m with you.” He tilted his head to the side. “Okay, that might not make as much sense out loud as it did in my head. Uhm...I like the person I am when I am with you. Yes, that sounds much better,” he said with a grin and yet another kiss. Kissing Niou was an addiction he refused to give up.
It wasn't like Niou would ever stop Yagyuu from kissing him. He was than willing to take and give them to his partner whenever he could. "Can't be that much of a boring guy if I got into you." He shrugged a bit, his smirk never really leaving his lips. "Hmm, I do wonder what was it that attracted me to you in the first place. Oh well, I'll just let that remain a mystery then."
“You saw my inner beauty?” Yagyuu offered, his grin still bright. “Maybe you just had a thing for hot meganes?” He kissed Niou again, right on that smirk he loved. “You presented me with a challenge and the offer of something different. And,” he gave Niou a slow, sweet kiss, “you have never disappointed in that regard, I have to say.”
"Yes, I saw your inner beauty when I first saw you trying to open that umbrella of yours." Niou said, sarcastically. "It may have been the glasses." he added with a small laugh. He found himself giving into that second kiss quickly. "If I ever disappoint, then I must be losing my touch." he mumbled.
[Is it this touch?]Feeling uncharacteristically silly because he was so happy, Yagyuu said, “Well, if you do lose it, I will help you find it again. Is it this touch?” He drew a finger down the side of Niou’s face. “Or maybe this one?” The finger now stroked along his lover’s jaw. “Or is it something more like this?” He wound his fingers into Niou’s hair and gently tilted the other’s head back a bit so he could kiss up the column of that lovely throat.
Niou's eyes slowly closed as his breathing became a bit heavy. His arms automatically tightened a little around Yagyuu, pressing himself closer to his partner. "No, it's not like that." he said, voice tinged with a sultry tone.
“Oh?” The question was a low sound in Yagyuu’s throat. “Then what kind of touch is it?” he asked. “Or should I just keep trying until I find it?” His free hand skimmed up the outside of Niou’s leg.
"Can't always give you the answer, can I?" Niou answered. "It'll take away all the fun if I did." One of his hands opened the top buttons of Yagyuu's shirt then slid in over his shoulder.
“So true,” Yagyuu agreed. “Can’t have that.” His free hand moved up and over Niou’s backside and under the hem of his shirt as he leaned forward to make a mark just below his lover’s ear. “Am I getting warmer?” he whispered.
Niou leaned back against Yagyuu's hand. He turned his head to brush his lips against his lover's. "A little." he murmured. He slowly slid his hand down his partner's chest, all the buttons becoming undone.
“I feel warmer,” Yagyuu said, his chest arching at Niou’s touch. He slid his free hand slowly around to his partner’s stomach and across the ridges of muscles. “So many places to touch, how will I ever narrow it down?” he mused out loud.
"Mmm... not going to give you any clues." Niou smirked. Every part in which Yagyuu had touched so far had left him feeling hot. He wanted that wondering hand to continue exploring every where he can. He leaned in for a kiss, fingers lightly tracing over his lover's abdomen.
Yagyuu’s hand wandered upward then, finding one of Niou’s nipples. As he gently pinched and rolled it in his fingers, he enjoyed kissing his lover. “Mm, guess I’ll just have to keep looking then. My life is so hard,” he said with a mock sigh and a smirk of his own.
With a small groan, Niou's hand latched tightly onto Yagyuu's open shirt. "Hiroshi..." he breathed. Yagyuu does seem to know how to torture him with his touches and now this. It was only at that moment did he realized how constricting his clothes were.
“Yes?” Yagyuu mumbled against the side of Niou’s neck. His hand switched to the other nipple. “Can I help you with something?” he asked, breathing on the dark mark he had left earlier just below Niou’s ear.
A low moan rumbled in his chest. Niou couldn't help but wonder if Yagyuu knew how sensitive he was to all of his touches from his hands, his lips, his breath. It was driving him insane. "Do... something."
“Something, okay,” Yagyuu said with a smile against that neck that tempted him so much. He let go of Niou’s hair and slid his hand down the other’s back to grab the hem of Niou’s shirt. He pulled the shirt off a bit slower than was absolutely necessary, then tossed it aside. Stroking Niou’s skin, he started kissing his lover’s shoulders and chest.
His shirt came off much too slow for his liking that Niou almost wanted to rip the damned thing off, but refrained himself from doing so. Instead, he moved a little, claiming his favorite position by straddling his partner, purposely rubbing their hips together. Every little thing that Yagyuu did left him craving more and the fact that they could be caught doing it outside, even in the middle of the night in this secluded area, just made the situation that much more exciting.
Going purposefully slow had the desired effect and Yagyuu moaned as Niou rubbed their hips together. “Mm, that feels good,” he said. He reached up to the back of his collar and stripped his own shirt off much faster, then leaned forward a bit so that Niou was being held upright only by his hands on the other’s back and Niou’s hands on him. Tilting his head he licked a circle around his lover’s nipple before sucking on it and teasing it with his tongue.
Niou's breath hitched as he threw his head back a little, back arching slightly as he did. A very small part of him to wanted to move away from his partner's mouth, but that was immediately dismissed because he wanted more. One of traveled up to the other's hair, his fingers curled tightly around his brown locks. The thought came to his mind that he needs to stop showing Yagyuu new stuff cause it could, and most likely would, be used against him, but everything his lover did to him made him feel so good.
Yagyuu moved to Niou’s other nipple after he felt he’d lavished the first with enough love. He could feel his partner’s fingers tight in his hair; that told him he was doing a good job. Once he’d teased and sucked both nipples to almost perfection, he shifted them and laid Niou on his back on the blanket and kissed him thoroughly as his hands made short work of his own pants. His fingers brushed against Niou’s length through the only cloth remaining between them, then went up to the waistband.
He inhaled sharply when Yagyuu's fingers just brushed against him. Niou almost went down there to help to quickly remove the finally on him, but then stopped. His lover had been in charge since the beginning and he wanted to see, to feel, what it would be like for him to have complete power. If that means he had to suffer through slow, teasing touches, then so be it.
He eased Niou’s pants down until the prize Yagyuu was looking for popped up, at which point he stripped them the rest of the way off rather quickly. He laid along his lover’s side and leaned over to kiss him as one hand stroked down that beautiful bare chest and stomach to find Niou’s erection and wrap around it. “So sexy...” Yagyuu told him.
Niou could feel his muscles twitch as Yagyuu moved his hand down and his hips immediately bucked against it with a small moan. "Speak for yourself." he managed to say through slight uneven breaths from anticipation. Yagyuu had always been handsome and sexy and now with the moonlight more breathtaking than he was already. It made his body was already craving for his lover to be in him to fill him, to love him in a way that only Yagyuu can, yet he already knew that he wasn't going to get that until later.
“I speak only the truth,” Yagyuu told him. He stroked Niou a couple more times, just to make the other think he was just going to torment him with slowness today. Except, he had something different in mind. “Roll over to your side, Masaharu,” he said. “Facing away from me.”
"Huh?" Niou didn't want to turn away; he wanted to be able to see Yagyuu, to touch him. With a frown, he complied to his lover's orders, wondering exactly what was going through his head at the moment.
Propping himself up on one elbow, Yagyuu leaned over Niou’s shoulder and kissed him. He wasn’t sure how well this would work. The fact Niou was willing to attempt it with him meant a lot. He slicked up his fingers with saliva, not knowing where the one of the bottles they used was at the moment. He pushed Niou’s top leg forward, giving him better access to the entrance he was looking for. Circling it for just a moment, he slowly pressed one finger into his lover.
It took all he could to prevent himself from moving out of that position when Yagyuu pushed a finger into him, moaning a little as he did so. Niou moved his legs some to make it a bit easier for his lover as he pushed back against the finger the best that he could in his current condition. He moved his hand down to the ache between his legs and wrapped his hand around his own unattended member, stroking himself slowly after shifting a little to make sure that Yagyuu could see what he was doing.
Yagyuu had to take a couple of deep breaths when Niou took himself in hand. As he slid a second finger into his lover, he asked, “Is this position okay for you?” He didn’t want Niou to just put up with it, after all. The idea was to find new and fun ways to enjoy one another.
"I-it's okay." Niou answered with a low moan. This position barely allowed him to be able to rock his hips against his lover's fingers so that he could feel something more. He just had to settle with stroking himself slowly, so that he couldn't come too early, as he waited for what he really wanted now from Yagyuu. "Just hurry."
Carefully Yagyuu moved forward, pulling his fingers free. He sincerely hoped that he had stretched Niou well enough. He slid into place like he belonged there, gasping a little at the feel. He had a feeling he would gasp every time; there was no sensation on Earth that could compare to it. He couldn’t push as deep, but he could easily reach over Niou’s shoulder and kiss him, so he did. He also added his free hand to Niou’s, matching his pace in both strokes.
Niou gasped and moaned when Yagyuu finally gave him what he wanted. He leaned back, pressing himself firmly against his lover's chest. He kissed the other back, low moans coming from him as he did. It was overwhelming, this feeling of being so close to Yagyuu was something that he couldn't get use to and he loved it. "Hiroshi." he called out breathlessly as tried to move his hips.
Having Niou in his arms like this made up for a lot of the restrictions in movement. It was the perfect position for some slow, sweet loving, so Yagyuu did just that; drugging his lover with long, deep kisses and stroking him at a steady pace. “Masaharu,” he echoed back.
Being this physically close seemed to muddled Niou's senses that even a small cool ocean breeze against his skin acted as a stimulus to drive him to that certain point. He had already gave up on moving and just stayed still, accepting everything that his lover was doing to him without any objections. The only thing that he did was try to return those kisses that fogged up his mind.
Yagyuu pumped his hips in counterpoint to his hand, kissing Niou all the while. It was slow torture and pure bliss holding his lover like this, making love with him. The pleasure built steadily, at a rate that belied their pace. Every breath Niou took, every gasp, every moan, resonated in Yagyuu’s ears, traveling down his spine to add to the building pressure inside of him. The not-zero chance of someone stumbling across them, here high on the cliffside, in the dark, outside, also added to his passion for the man in his arms. Niou was the reason. All the reason Yagyuu needed. His hips snapped faster as he started to lose control.
When Yagyuu started moving faster, Niou turned his head to the side and used one hand to muffle a loud moan that could draw unwanted attention to them. The sudden change just drove him closer to the edge and he didn't know how much longer he could hold out at this pace.
With Niou’s head to the side, Yagyuu was presented with a beautiful expanse of neck, so he leaned down and sucked on it, even as his hand moved faster on his lover. He was so close right now, so very close and...Niou’s moan pushed him over the edge and into a paradise of oblivion. His hips snapped twice more as he came, muffling his own cry against the dark mark on his partner’s neck. He panted for breath, but his hand never stilled, wanting Niou to come with him.
The feel of Yagyuu coming in him and the cry against his neck was the last straw for Niou as he finally came himself with his own muffled cry. He stayed where he was though, trying to catch his breath as the pleasurable feeling slowly died down and his finally relaxed against his lover. He turned his head to Yagyuu again, seeking another kiss.
“Mm.” Yagyuu hummed into the kiss. The languid happiness that came after the passion was just as good, though in a different way. “Love you, Masaharu,” he said before kissing his lover again. He wiped his hand off on the blanket, then held Niou close.
"Love you too, Hiroshi." Niou murmured. He stayed like that, wrapped up in his lover's arms for a few more minutes before finally climbing out of his hold with a light groan. He climbed over to their scattered clothes and threw his partner's pants at him then took his own and put them on. He didn't anyone to see them like this. When he reached for their shirts, he gave Yagyuu his own shirt and kept the other shirt to himself. "It's a big on me so it should fit you fine." he said with a grin as he put on his lover's shirt and only buttoned it half-way up.
With a grin, Yagyuu put Niou’s shirt on, mimicking his lover and only buttoning it up part way. “Comfy.” He settled back onto the blanket, now wearing pants again and looked at his partner. “So, what else did you have planned, I’m wondering?” After all that running around and the lovemaking, he was eying that stack of food containers rather hungrily.
With a shrug, Niou sat down and crossed his legs. "We can actually eat the food I made? Not unless you think it would be bad and not want some." He reached back and grabbed the containers then opened them to reveal fruit salad in one and the other had four rice balls in it. It wasn't much, but at least it was still something. "The most I can make really." he said with a slight laugh as he took one of the rice balls and held it out to his partner. "There's some seasoned fish in it for some taste." He could feel his shirt slipping off one of his shoulder, but he didn't care much to fix it upright again.
His sexy lover was offering him food. Yagyuu leaned forward and took a bite from the rice ball Niou was holding out to him. “Mm, it’s actually quite good!” he said after chewing and swallowing. He took Niou’s hand in his and took another bite of food. “You can make me rice anyday,” he said with a grin. He could see the dark mark he’d left on his lover as his shirt slipped off Niou’s shoulder. This was a perfect evening.
Niou stuck his tongue out at Yagyuu. "You're just saying that to make me feel good." He moved to sit on his partner's lap again and feed him the rest of rice ball in his hand after taking a bite for himself. He took a piece of fruit and put it in his lover's mouth then rested his head on the other's shoulder. "You feed yourself." he said as he wrapped his arms around Yagyuu.
“Should I feed you, too?” Yagyuu asked. “And I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true. I do try not to lie, it isn’t polite,” he said with a smile against the side of Niou’s head. He loved sitting like this. It was warm, comfortable and he had Niou right there. He nibbled on the piece of fruit and smelled Niou’s scent. He smelled of shampoo, wood smoke, sex, the ocean and that underlying constant, slightly spicy, ever elusive, but mouth-watering smell that was uniquely his lover’s. “Paradise,” he said out loud.
"Feed me some of it; just a few bites of the rice balls and some fruit and I'll be good." Niou said with a nod. When he heard Yagyuu said 'paradise,' a small smile appeared on his lips. Being stuck on some godforsaken island with no signs of rescue seems far from paradise to him, but the fact that Yagyuu was there with him, that's all he needed at the moment to be in paradise.
Yagyuu picked up one of the other rice balls and held it up so that Niou could take a bite of it. “This is so very romantic,” he said, looking into his lover’s eyes as he fed him. He rubbed Niou’s back and held him close. “If it weren’t for the fact that we’ve missed almost an entire semester of school, I’d even say it was perfect,” he said with a little laugh.
Niou only took a small bite of the rice ball before pushing it up to Yagyuu so he could eat it. After he chewed and swallowed, he sighed. "Well, we sort of needed this break? We just didn't expect it to be so long...but if it wasn't for this, I don't think we would have been able to reconnect with each other so fast. There's not that many places on this island that I can hide from without you being able to find me."
Taking another bite, Yagyuu put the rest down for now. “I agree. Having you all to myself like this,” he felt a brief pang of guilt as Akaya’s face crossed his mind, “is heaven.” He shook it off, there would be time for that later. Tonight was about them. “I do seem to have a certain sixth sense when it comes to you,” he admitted. “Or maybe I just follow the red string.”
"Mmhmm." Niou hummed in agreement. Tonight was just about them, but it didn't mean that he had forgotten about Akaya. He was actually planning something for the three of them, but not all the details for that had been sorted out yet. Maybe when he was finished, three of them could try something out. He took a deep breath, taking in Yagyuu's scent as his mind focused back on the man he was sitting on and laughed a little. "We are connected by a red thread." he said as he reached out for his tie again and tied one end around Yagyuu's ring finger, then tied the other end, with slight difficult and in a not-so-nice bow, around his own finger.
Yagyuu laughed and gave Niou another kiss. “We are indeed.” He nuzzled the dark mark he’d left on his lover earlier, then shared a piece of fruit with him. “Mm, fruity kisses are good,” he said. The full moon overhead meant that he could see his lover fairly clearly, even without his glasses. “I like being connected to you,” he whispered into his partner’s ear.
Niou shivered, slightly, when Yagyuu's soft, warm breath brushed against his ear. Oh how he liked the feeling. He grabbed the other's collar and pulled him closer until their lips touched. "You better, 'cause like I said before, you're stuck with me forever now." he whispered before he lightly laved his tongue over his partner's lip then leaned up and kissed him.
“Forever won’t be long enough,” Yagyuu said between kisses. He did blush a little. It was a cliche romantic phrase, but he honestly meant it. He could have forever with Niou and still want more. He ran his unencumbered hand through that shiny silver hair and kissed his lover back with complete abandon.
With a small laugh, Niou intertwined their connected hands, his other hand played with Yagyuu's hair. "More than forever then?" he asked against his partner's lips then kissed him again. Thinking about it just made him happy. "You won't regret that, right?" he asked after he pulled back and looked his lover in the eyes.
He loved the feel of Niou’s hand in his hair. He may even have purred a little, though if so he refused to acknowledge it. “Never,” he agreed. “You are stuck with me,” he said. His heart felt so light that it could float away, taking both of them along.
Niou smirked a little when he heard the small purr and continued to play with his partner's hair. "I'm not going anywhere." He paused for a moment. "And if I did, I'll always find a way to come back to you, Hiroshi." he added in a whisper. He could never stay away from Yagyuu permanently. He didn't know how he was able to deal and cope without his partner for so long after what had happened, but now, he was sure he could never do that again. Niou needed him.
“Good,” Yagyuu said with a smile. Then it turned a little smirky. “‘cause you don’t want to make me become all crazy stalker, Masaharu. I learned from the best, you know.” He gently poked Niou in the center of his chest, then tugged their joined hands to him so he could kiss the back of his lover’s. “And people would be all, ‘Of course Yagyuu isn’t stalking you, Niou, he’s a perfect gentleman,’” he said with a laugh. “I’d finally have use for that darn nickname.”
"Hmm? I'm sure I could find someone who doesn't believe that. It'll be tough, but I'm sure that I can." Niou replied with small chuckle. He sat there for moment before he realized something about what his partner had said. "Did you just call me a 'crazy stalker?'" he asked, that small frown on his lips. "Just because I can hide and follow people without being noticed does not make me a stalker." He turned away from Yagyuu, still frowning, to make it seem like he was upset, but he wasn't really.
Yagyuu tried not to laugh and gave Niou a kiss on his jaw. “Of course not. I was...I was referring to Akutagawa, Jirou-kun. You remember how he was always stalking Marui-kun, don’t you? I would never call you crazy,” he assured his lover, carefully not mentioning the stalker part. “Please forgive me for making it sound as if I did? Like Yanagi-kun, you only observed in order to gain data. Your illusions were the best,” he added admiringly.
Niou laughed a little and stuck out his tongue at his partner. "You can't find better illusions than mine," he said with a small smirk. He leaned back against Yagyuu and kissed the corner of his lips. "I'm not going to forgive you that easily. You'll have to do something so I can accept it; I'll take anything." he mumbled, making sure that his breath tickled his lover's neck.
[Anything?]“Oh?” Yagyuu said, the noise coming from deep in his throat. “Anything, huh?” He stretched his neck out a bit to the side. “What if it involves taking this shirt of mine off of you?” He plucked at the fabric a little. He really hoped that he got to feel Niou inside of him at some point that night, but wasn’t sure if that would truly be considered penance. Maybe later, then. For now, he had to make up to his lover.
"It'll be a start." Niou purred a little against his lover's neck before pressing a light kiss on it. He took his tie off of their fingers so that his partner could freely use both his hands then moved so that his back was facing Yagyuu. He looked back and held up his tie. "Tie it up first?" As much as he liked his long hair, he liked it more when it's tied up in his usual rat tail.
“Kinky,” Yagyuu purred as he tied up Niou’s hair. Then he wrapped his arms around his lover and, as he started unbuttoning the shirt, worked on making another dark mark on Niou’s shoulder. He liked that their tie was what held his partner’s hair. That way it was a visible reminder of what they had. Not that he needed one, he could feel the tie still around his finger and in his heart. But it was like...seeing the roses sent by your lover, or the card sent. It would send fresh sentiment into him every time he saw it. The buttons undone, he didn’t remove the shirt yet, but rather ran his hands up and down Niou’s chest and stomach.
Niou leaned back against Yagyuu, enjoying the feel of his hands all over his front side. He placed both his hands on top of his lover's, stilling one on his stomach and moved the other, placed it over his heart. He turned his head so that he could look at his partner. He felt like he didn't need to say much right then, not when Yagyuu could probably feel how Niou's heart beated when with him, but the words, "I love you," still came out of him either way.
Yagyuu’s breath caught in his throat. There he kept thinking it was impossible for him to fall more in love with his partner and every time Niou proved him wrong. He brushed his lips across his lover’s and whispered those same words back. The night, the man, the moment; everything was perfect...with the sole exception of missing Akaya. But that would come in time. Thanks to Niou, Yagyuu was finally loosening up and was far more comfortable touching and being touched. Before the island he had been so starved for touch that he’d actually wander past Akutagawa-kun on board the ship, just so he could “accidentally” suffer a hug from the bouncy young man. He rubbed his nose along Niou’s cheek and smiled. This was much, much better.
Smiling, Niou settled himself more comfortably in his partner's arms, but kept that one hand over his heart. He always took it upon himself to make sure that the people he cared about were always happy, even if it would have to cost him anything; their happiness was more important to him. He closed his eyes, becoming overtaken by his lover's warmth, both physically and emotionally.
“Too bad we don’t have fireworks,” Yagyuu murmured, “to mimic the love for you that is bursting from my heart.” He nuzzled the side of Niou’s head again. This was a wonderful way to pass an evening. He allowed himself a moment of fantasy, of coming home from school and curling up with his partner like this, maybe even doing a little homework.
Niou laughed a little. "You know, you're starting to sound so much like a romance movie." he said as he looked back at Yagyuu. He didn't mind though. Besides, everything that he had done may have seemed like it too.
“As long as it is one of the really awesome ones with the happy ending, I don’t care,” Yagyuu said, laughing as well. He kissed Niou on the nose. “You inspire poetry in me. Which is a horrible thing to do to a practical young man such as myself, you know!” He kissed Niou again, on the corner of his lips, then on his chin.
"I don't really see how that is a horrible thing." Niou shrugged. "I can't be the only one with creativity." All these kisses were nice, but Yagyuu was neglecting where he wanted to be kissed the most. He reached out to move his partner's head up then leaned in, fully pressing their lips together.
“Mm,” Yagyuu replied, his lips now busy with Niou’s. He was wondering how long he could tease his lover. Not long, it looked like. He was fine with that. A little teasing was fine, but too much just got mean and despite all appearances, Yagyuu didn’t have a truly mean bone in his body. He could be ruthless, especially at tennis, but that wasn’t quite the same. He gave Niou’s hands a squeeze as they kissed.
Niou stayed like that for a few more moments before he pulled away and moved so that he was straddling Yagyuu's hips again, arms wrapped around his neck. The other's shirt had fell when he had moved, but he couldn't care less. "Hiroshi." he said quietly before he leaning into for another kiss.
“Masaharu,” Yagyuu murmured, kissing him back. Without his shirt on, there was so much more skin to touch. Yagyuu approved of that. Having Niou straddling his lap was always welcome. He traced one hand up his lover’s back to end up in that silver hair he loved so much, the other tracing down to just above Niou’s waistline.
His back hollowed against Yagyuu's hands, pressing himself closer to the man in front of him. Niou parted their lips a little, breaths mingled, as he leaned his forehead against his lover's. He stared into those brown eyes with love and need for him as one of his hands went up and rested his palm on the other's cheek. "I love you." he whispered, lightly brushing his lips against his partner's.
The look in those blue eyes stole Yagyuu’s breath away, even more so than the kisses did. He relished each one and the way Niou pressed against him. His only regret was not having removed the shirt he was wearing while he was removing his off of the other. “I love you too,” he said, still feeling the thrill of those words no matter how many times he said them. He ran his tongue lightly across Niou’s bottom lip before kissing the other back.
Niou had parted his lips a bit without a hint of protest in the kiss to allow his partner to do as he pleased. He moved both of hands, working on unbuttoning his shirt on the other and pushed it away, savoring the feel of his heated flesh when Niou had wrapped his arms around his partner under the shirt, pulling himself closer as physically possible.
“Mm,” Yagyuu murmured, deepening the kiss. He tightened his arms when Niou pulled himself closer. Feeling his lover that close was nirvana. He slid his tongue along the other’s, stroking and sucking just a little while at the same time massaging Niou’s head with his fingers, lightly scratching the other’s scalp with his blunt nails.
He moaned a little in kiss. Being like this, kissing like this... was intoxicating. Niou pulled away from the kiss after a while, trying to catch his breath then tugged on the shirt the other was wearing. "Come on." he said, a bit needy.
Yagyuu let go, only long enough for the shirt to come off, then wrapped his arms back around his lover. The hand that didn’t go back to Niou’s hair went to the other’s waistband. “This,” he said, tugging at it a little, “needs to go too.” He licked his way along Niou’s jawline to just below the other’s ear. There needed to be a mark there, too.
"Then it'll go." Niou said as he shiver a little at the delightful feeling of his lover making yet another mark on him. His hands quickly went down and undid the button and zipper of his pants, but he was going to leave the rest of it to his partner. He moved back a little and slid one of his hands down Yagyuu's well-developed chest and abdomen before he lightly ran his fingers over the other's length through the thick fabric then slipped two fingers under the waistband and gave it a tug as well. "This does too."
He gasped against the flesh of Niou’s neck when the other touched him. “Uh huh,” he agreed. Yagyuu put both of his hand to his lover’s waist and pulled him as he lay back on the blanket. He let go to reach between them and unfasten his pants, sliding them down past his hips. There was probably a bit more wiggling involved than absolutely necessary. However, since he managed to get Niou’s down immediately after, rubbing their heated flesh together, he didn’t think he’d hear many complaints. He attacked that spot below Niou’s ear again as he tried to get both their pants the rest of the way off.
A low moan rumbled in Niou's chest when their skin met and he kicked off his pants the best he could. He leaned up a little to look down at his lover. "You still need to make it up to me for calling me a 'crazy stalker.'" he murmured before leaning down for another kiss.
“I did not,” Yagyuu protested. “I said you didn’t want me to become one and that I learned from the best, the rest was all inference on your part,” he pointed out. He did however, kiss Niou back, then whispered in his ear, “But, if we were to hypothetically say I did, how would you like me to make it up to you? Hm?” He rolled his hips up against his lover’s as he asked.
"I'll let you decide on that." Niou groaned a little. "But if you do a good job," he paused to lightly run his tongue up Yagyuu's neck, "I might reward you later. The night's still young, right?" This was going to probably turn into a sleepless night for the both of them, but Niou would continue on as far as his partner can go. He gave the other a quick kiss then rolled off of him to lie beside him.
Following Niou over, Yagyuu knelt straddling one of his lover’s legs. “Oh? I’m being graded, am I? Good thing I do well on tests.” He looked down at Niou, then traced one hand down the other’s chest and stomach. With a smirk he gave his partner another kiss. “Pardon me, I have to go mark my paper now.” He started with Niou’s left collarbone, nipping at it and making a dark mark. As his mouth drifted lower, his hand was down reading the answer sheet, slowly stroking Niou and caressing his balls.
Niou bit back a moan as he squirmed a little below his partner. He loved how he was able to bring this side out of Yagyuu. He was at the mercy of his lover's burning passion and desire. The way that he doesn't even need to try to satisfied him since every little touch, kiss, and bite drove Niou insane. He moved one of his hands to curl his fingers in his Yagyuu's hair while the other was used to cover his mouth from any loud sounds coming from him.
Yagyuu paid close attention to each of Niou’s nipples in turn, a part of him trying to see if he could get a noise loud enough out of his lover to overcome the hand. After teasing them both he left the damp nubs and continued his path down to where his hand was. Leaving another dark mark right next to Niou’s belly button, his next destination was straining to meet up with him. He hovered over it a moment, breathing warm air onto Niou’s cock, from the tip to the base. Then he licked his way back up and planted a kiss on the top.
The warm air brushing against his length made ache a little as a shiver ran up his spine. He almost moan out loud when he felt his partner's tongue on his cock. But, probably much to Yagyuu's displeasure, Niou bit down on his arm when the pleasure built up to prevent anything too loud. The hand that was in Yagyuu's hair fell and was now tightly gripping the blanket below him.
“Hey, stop that,” Yagyuu whispered. “You might hurt yourself...especially considering what I’m planning.” He flicked one of their shirts up at his lover. “Bite on that instead?” Then, not really giving Niou time to decide, he took the other’s length into his mouth. He hummed as he did so, knowing well now just how good that felt.
Niou had moved his arm away, but wasn't fast enough to grab hold of the shirt when Yagyuu took him in, humming as he did so, the vibrations went straight up spine making him cry out a bit in pleasure. "T-that wasn't fair." he managed to choke out with a moan. He didn't even try to cover up his mouth anymore. If they get caught... well, at least that person will get a good show to watch.
Yagyuu’s lips curved around Niou’s cock. Fair was a relative thing; from where he was that was music to his ears and he didn’t regret it one bit. He used his fingers to gently massage Niou’s balls and to press against that space right below them. He hollowed his cheeks as he moved his head up and down. He had definitely come to enjoy his lover’s flavor.
It was quite a sight, really, to see his lover bobbed his head back and forth on him just added to what he was feeling at the moment. His hips jerked and body twisted a little as his partner continued. "So close..." Niou said through heavy, ragged pants. He could feel his body constricting a little and was able to only last a few more moments under Yagyuu's ministrations before he actually came.
He didn’t mind swallowing as long as Niou came far enough back in his mouth that the flavor wasn’t as...concentrated, so Yagyuu took his lover in as far as he could when he heard Niou’s warning. Afterward he slowly lifted his head, letting the other’s cock fall from his mouth. “Mm.” There was something; right. “So, was that ‘A’ material?” he asked with a smile. He crawled up Niou’s body to lay alongside his lover and kiss him.
Niou groaned a little in the kiss. The taste of himself in his lover's mouth was making his body react. "As far as I'm concern," he murmured as he kissed the other again, "you haven't finished the test, so I can't give you a grade just yet." He trailed his tongue up Yagyuu's jawline to his ear before biting down a little on his earlobe. "Please continue?"
Yagyuu fumbled around for a moment, thankfully finding their bottle fairly quickly. He kissed Niou’s jaw as he slicked his fingers up. “How...how do you want to do this?” he asked. Was the other ready to be underneath Yagyuu yet was what he really wanted to know. He moved his hand down and made sure that Niou was still nice and slick from earlier, then slicked himself up.
"Hiroshi..." Niou took a deep breath. He pulled Yagyuu on top of him and leaned up for a light kiss. "Let's try this." he whispered. Whatever happened in the past was just a bad memory now. He wasn't going to let that get in between him and his lover.
With a nod and another kiss, Yagyuu arranged them properly, Niou’s legs up around his waist. He aligned himself, then slowly pushed just in, stopping for a moment to let them both adjust, then pushing the rest of the way. “Oh...Masaharu,” he moaned. Forcing his eyes open, he leaned down and kissed his lover. “You are so perfect.”
Niou's legs tightened a little, with a moan of his own, around Yagyuu once he was fully in. His hands went up to his partner's back, his nails just barely digging into his skin. He almost didn't hear what the other had said, but when it registered in his mind, he replied weakly against his lover's lips. "I'm not."
“You are,” Yagyuu insisted, kissing him yet again. “Perfect for me and that’s...ah...what counts, right?” He could feel Niou, his legs, his nails, his warmth, his love; Yagyuu shifted carefully so he could bury one hand in his lover’s hair, then started to move, slowly.
He didn't reply, couldn't really, when his partner started to move. One of Niou's hands went up to Yagyuu's hair, the other hand had dug its nails into the other's back, scratching him. After a few thrusts, he began to move his hips in time with his lover, meeting him thrusts by thrusts, making him moan out Yagyuu's name.
Hearing his name on Niou’s lips, especially like that, inflamed Yagyuu’s desire. The nails on his back and the hand in his hair certainly helped as well. “Masaharu,” he said, speeding up his thrusts, going deep each time. He shifted his hips a little, wanting to rub across that spot that would bring his lover the most pleasure. As he shifted, he also put his weight onto the arm that was up, his hand in Niou’s hair, enabling him to move his other hand between them, to touch Niou there.
Niou cried out when Yagyuu went faster, hitting that spot that gives him the most pleasure ever. He rocked his hips against his partner with each thrust, his legs hiking further up and clung to lover so they could get as much contact possible. His grip in the other's hair tightened a little as he pulled him down for a kiss. His hand on Yagyuu's back moved to join his partner's hand, fingers curling around his lover's, mimicking his movements.
Yagyuu panted against Niou’s lips as he kissed the other. Every little thing drove his own pleasure that much higher. He found himself moving faster, murmuring his lover’s name over and over with each thrust, each stroke, getting closer to that edge and wanting to bring Niou over with him. He tried to slow down again, to take his time and enjoy making love with his partner, but Niou was just so irresistible that he couldn’t.
"Hi...ro...shi..." he managed to say between his moans. His hand left Yagyuu's own and returned to his back, both hands now clawing at his lover's back, leaving scratch marks everywhere as he was pushed and now hovered dangerously other the edge. A few more thrusts, a few more strokes and... then Niou was done for, crying loudly as he came on his stomach.
As Niou came between them, clamping down around him, nails scratching him, Yagyuu reached that edge himself, coming deep inside of his lover. He buried his own loud cry against Niou’s shoulder. It took him several moments before he was able to pull himself together enough to remove himself and roll over to lay next to his partner. As he tried to catch his breath he turned his head to look at Niou. “Absolutely...perfect. I love you...Masaharu,” he said. He summoned up the energy to smile at his lover, moving his thumb over Niou’s cheek.
Niou made a small noise, almost a whine, when Yagyuu left him, but did not voice any complaints since he was still trying to breath again. He moved a little when his partner started talking and placed his hand over the other's on his cheek. "I love you too, Hiroshi." he mumbled as he turned his head and pressed his lips against Yagyuu's wrist. He was about to say something about the 'perfect' part, but decided against it. Niou leaned over a little for a kiss. "You passed, by the way. With flying colors."
