Chapter 2
Later that night, as he was lying next to Kame, after another night’s worth of routine-sex, Ryo stared at the ceiling. His right arm was on his bare chest and his head was resting on his left arm. He couldn’t get the image of the man from earlier that day out of his head. He got up; trying his best not to wake Kame, Ryo made his way out to the living room of Kame’s apartment and sat on the couch. He held his face in his hands and stared blankly, with his mouth open.
“Was it really him?” he thought to himself. He couldn’t figure it out and decided instead to just forget about it. Ryo got up, grabbed his clothes and left Kame’s apartment without another thought of the man who might have been Jun Matsumoto, his first and only love.
The next morning, Ryo was again sitting in the café that Ueda and Uchi worked at, hoping he might catch a glimpse of the same man he had seen the day before. He didn’t look too happy and Ueda, who was working alone that day, took notice.
“What’s your problem?” he asked, while clearing off the table next to Ryo’s.
“Huh? Oh--oh nothing. Just thinking,” Ryo mumbled, taking a sip from his cup.
Ueda rolled his eyes, “Thinking? About what? How you’re going to get Uchi into bed?”
“What?! No--no! I’m just thinking, if that’s alright with you,” Ryo defended.
Ueda just laughed and walked away. Ryo glared at the other man’s back but went back to thinking, and staring out the window. He sat in that same spot for several hours, never once seeing the man he thought was Jun.
“What’s Ryo doing here?” Uchi asked Ueda as he walked in to start his shift.
“He’s ‘just thinking’,” Ueda answered in a fake deep voice, mimicking Ryo’s voice. “I don’t know what’s wrong with him. And frankly, I don’t care,” he added before going to the backroom. Uchi looked concerned as he stared at Ryo who continued to stare out the window.
A few more hours passed and still there was no sign of Jun. Ryo looked at his watch and realized he had to be heading over to Tegoshi’s at that moment. He walked out the door and looked around but there wasn’t anyone. He stood at the crosswalk and waited for the light to turn when he heard some footsteps behind him. He quickly turned around to see a well-groomed man, wearing glasses and a suit, carrying a briefcase.
Ryo took a good look at him and his heart just dropped. His mouth hung open as his eyes widened and he couldn’t take his eyes off the sight in front of him. The man looked at him uneasily but then he too had his mouth hung open and his eyes widening.
“Ryo?” the man whispered.
Ryo’s face turned pale and he began to stutter furiously.
“I--I--Y--Y,” he mumbled.
“Ryo! It is you! I knew it! How’ve you been? Gawd, it’s been--what--like 5 years?” the man went on.
Ryo shook his head and started to slap himself, leaving the other man to look confused.
“This isn’t happening. I’m dreaming--I can’t be seeing you--it’s all a dream,” Ryo babbled as he continued to lightly slap his cheeks.
He stopped and continued to stare, “Jun?”
“Uh--yeah. It’s me, Jun Matsumoto. Don’t you remember? I used to tutor you in high school--”
“Of course, I remember!” Ryo angrily replied, but then he realized his tone and changed his facial expression, “Yeah, of course I remember. How can I forget you? You were my first lo--tutor. Yeah, a man never forgets his first l-tutor.”
Jun just smiled before stepping closer to Ryo and hugging him tightly. Ryo looked embarrassed and shocked as well.
“It’s been too long,” Jun whispered into Ryo’s ear.
Ryo’s legs went weak and he could feel his eyes closing as he tried to lose himself in that unbelievable moment. But then Jun let go and smiled.
“I have to go now but I’ll definitely keep in touch. Here,” he took out a business card from his briefcase and handed it to Ryo, “There’s my work email, my phone numbers and my personal email. Feel free to email me or text me or call me anytime you’d like.”
“Oh--um--should I give you mine? I don’t have--a pen--,” Ryo started patting himself to check if he had a pen on him but he didn’t.
“Don’t worry about it. Just send me a text and I’ll get your phone number from there. I’m running late so I’ll talk to you later. Bye, Ryo,” Jun smiled as he walked away, swinging his briefcase and whistling.
Ryo felt his chest; his heart was beating faster than it had in years. He hadn’t felt this elated since high school, the last time he had seen Jun.
That night as he was with Tegoshi, Ryo was smiling and sighing and feeling ecstatic but it certainly wasn’t because of the way Tegoshi was kissing his neck. But Tegoshi, of course, thought he was the one providing Ryo pleasure and this made him excited.
The younger man continued to kiss Ryo’s neck before going down on him. As he pressed his lips to Ryo’s dick, Tegoshi began to suck lightly. Ryo closed his eyes and murmured to himself.
“Ah--Jun,” he sighed.
Tegoshi stopped and looked up at Ryo.
“What did you just say?” he asked.
Ryo looked nervous and said, “I said ‘Tegonyan’! Why’d you stop?”
“You so did not say that--you said ‘Jun’. Who’s Jun? Tell me!” Tegoshi asked persistently, looking unusually eager rather than angry.
“I didn’t say Jun! Now are we gonna do this or you gonna ask more stupid questions?” Ryo said, constantly looking away from Tegoshi, and blushing at his error.
Tegoshi laughed and nodded before going down on his knees and sucking on Ryo. Ryo closed his eyes again and he imagined that it was Jun that he was with. Actually, almost every time he had sex with any of the men he was involved with, Ryo always thought of Jun and it’s what kept him so sexually active. He never revealed this since he never wanted to compromise his position as the secret lover of so many different men.
But as he and Tegoshi were about to go all the way, he had to step back into reality when the front door’s knob started to turn and Massu opened it.
“OH fuck!” Tegoshi clamored.
“What? What’s going on? Is that Massu?” Ryo babbled.
Tegoshi nodded his head furiously and said, “Go! Go hide in the bathroom! I’ll distract him!”
Ryo obeyed and ran, grabbing his clothes and heading into the bathroom and hiding himself from Massu. He closed the door most of the way and stood behind it, making sure he wasn’t heard breathing. Massu came into the bedroom and from what Ryo could see, he didn’t look too happy.
Tegoshi had gotten under the covers in order to cover his nude body and his erection.
“You’re home early,” Tegoshi said coldly while pretending to read a book.
Massu grunted and walked towards the bathroom but stopped before turning around and looking at Tegoshi.
“Are you naked?” he asked his boyfriend.
Tegoshi looked down and nodded, blushing a tad. Massu smiled and said, “I didn’t think you still liked sleeping in the nude. You keep that up and you’re gonna catch a cold.”
Just then, Massu was about to go into the bathroom but Tegoshi stopped him by practically jumping off the bed and almost tackling the older man.
“No! Don’t!”
“Tesshi, what the hell? I--”
Tegoshi stopped Massu by kissing him passionately. Massu closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around Tegoshi who had his eyes wide open and was signaling Ryo to get out of the bathroom before Massu could see him.
Ryo started to run, still naked but attempting to dress himself without being caught by Massu. He was laughing silently as he avoided Massu’s eyes. He didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt but instead felt some adrenaline running through his body as the drama unfurled.
He dressed himself and headed out the door, grabbing an apple from a bowl on the table since being sucked on by Tegoshi had apparently made him hungry.
Ryo made his way home and sat on his bed, staring at his cell phone. On the screen was a written text message to Jun’s cell phone that was ready to be sent. But Ryo had trouble pressing the send button, even though the text was just a simple hello to the older man.
He sighed before falling back on the bed and continuing to look at the phone. He stared at the ceiling, thinking before closing his phone and deciding against sending the text. It wasn’t long before he chose instead to send the text and then attempted to go to bed. His mind wouldn’t stop running and he remained unable to sleep. Then his phone vibrated indicating that he had received a text.
He eagerly jumped out of bed to see who it was from but was only disappointed when he found it was from Massu.
“You left your socks at my apartment” was all he wrote. Ryo laughed at his mistake but then grew depressed when he realized it wasn’t from Jun.
Again he fell back on the bed and sighed heavily. Having Jun back in his life was clearly not going to be easy for Ryo, especially since he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about the older man for the past 5 years.
A few days later and Ryo still hadn’t heard from Jun. He would constantly check his cell phone no matter who he was with at the moment. And every time he did it, he would annoy the person he was with.
“Will you stop checking that damn phone?!” Ueda grunted to him.
“Huh? What?”
“You keep looking at your damn phone! If you have somewhere else to be then I’d advise you to leave right now because I’m not dealing with you. I’m having a bad day,” Ueda muttered.
Ryo pretended to look sympathetically, with his trademark evil smirk, “Oh I see--you were looking for some attention. Well--I have an idea about what you and me could be doing right about now.”
Ueda looked at him cynically, “You do realize that I’m working right now and I won’t be off for another couple of hours.”
“You’re on break, aren’t you?” Ryo continued to smirk.
“I’m on lunch break, yes but I only have like 15 minutes or so left on it and--”
Ryo got up and looked around, “You got a storage room, don’t you?”
“What?! You’re not taking me to the friggin’ storage room just so we can have sex, Ryo. I’m gonna get fired,” Ueda looked around, hoping that no one had heard Ryo’s idea.
“Come on--no one will know unless you tell them--that includes if you tell Uchi.”
Ueda perked up, “Okay let’s go--but--you’re not gonna tell Uchi about this--I will!”
And with that, Ueda grabbed Ryo’s hand when the coast was clear and the two made their way to the storage room in order to spend the rest of Ueda’s lunch break “having fun”.
Ueda looked around before closing the door and locking it. He checked that there were no secret security cameras and when he found one, he tried diverting its field of vision and grabbed a nearby towel, throwing it over the lens. He then stepped down from the storage crate that he had stepped on and looked at Ryo seductively.
Ryo then pulled Ueda closer to him and kissed him hard on the mouth. He then started untying the apron strings that were around Ueda’s waist and threw the apron on the floor. Ryo kissed Ueda’s neck as the older man sighed sensually.
“Ryo--” Ueda gasped.
Ryo just continued to kiss his neck as he moved his hands down Ueda’s waist and towards his belt, removing it before undoing the buttons on the other man’s pants. He backed Ueda against a wall and started to undo the buttons of his boxers as well.
Ueda gasped again, feeling aroused at the touch of Ryo’s hand on his crotch. Ryo then went down and began to lick the tip of Ueda’s erect dick. He then started to suck and Ueda wanted to scream as he was ready to come but just moaned.
“Ooohhh”
Ryo smirked, wiping Ueda’s cum from his mouth and getting ready to kiss Ueda again. But Ueda stopped him and said, “More.”
Ryo chuckled and nodded, kneeling down again and teasing the tip of Ueda’s member in order to get the other man to scream. Ueda was too worried about being heard by his co-workers, or worse, the customers and put his hand over his mouth whenever he had the urge to cry out in pleasure.
Minutes later, Ueda was preparing himself to return to work as Ryo was cleaning himself up as well.
“Too bad we couldn’t go all the way,” he laughed.
Ueda glared at him, “You’re lucky we did anything! I could get in trouble for this and all you care is about getting some. Is sex all you think about?”
Ryo paused, pretending to think before he answered.
“Yes, yes it is all I think about,” he laughed again.
Ueda threw a towel at him and Ryo just continued to laugh. He went out first after making sure that he was presentable for the outside world. He was smiling and walking but he stopped when he saw someone standing in front of the counter.
“Jun--”
Jun was talking to Uchi, who had just arrived for his shift, as his coffee was being prepared. He noticed Ryo standing not too far from him and smiled and waved.
“Ryo--funny seeing you here,” Jun said, “Thank you,” he replied to Uchi when he got his coffee.
Uchi looked confused, since he didn’t expect to see Ryo coming from the storage room and also since he was surprised that the customer he had been talking to knew Ryo.
“What the--why was Ryo walking from the storage room just now?” Uchi asked Ueda who had just returned as well, walking to stand behind Uchi.
“Oh--lemme tell you what he and I just did right now--” Ueda started
As Ueda was telling Uchi about his impromptu rendezvous with Ryo, Ryo and Jun sat down to talk to each other.
“You never responded,” Ryo said first.
“Oh--yeah, your text. I’m so sorry, I’ve been really busy lately and I just forgot to reply. I’m sorry, but now I have your phone number in my cell phone so we can keep in touch.”
“You couldn’t take 30 seconds to reply to me? I waited for 4 days for you to respond and you never did,” Ryo trailed off.
“What?”
“Huh? Oh--I--never mind. It’s fine. You’re busy, I get it--don’t worry about it. So--what have you been up to since the last time I saw you?” Ryo blushed.
“Well, as you know, I moved here to the city. I had a job offer at a publishing company and I decided to take it as soon as possible. I only got it since my dad knew a guy on the board of directors but still--a job is a job. Anyways, I got promoted a couple of years ago and now I’m working just under the vice president and I hope to one day start my own company. What about you? What have you been doing lately?”
“Oh--well--me--I--Uchi?”
“Huh?” Jun looked confused.
Uchi stood over the two, tapping his foot with his arms crossed, looking very pissed at Ryo.
“Hello, Ryo. So--Ueda tells me you and he were in the storage room just now, doing--”
“INVENTORY! Haha I was just helping--my FRIEND--Ueda--the one over by the cash register--just helping him do inventory since he had a little extra time in his lunch break,” Ryo attempted at covering up for his dirty actions, and covering Uchi’s mouth as he did it.
Uchi broke free from Ryo and replied, “Inventory? Oh is that what you’re calling it nowadays? Funny--it’s been a week since you and I have ‘done inventory’ and now I know why! I hate you, Ryo!”
Uchi stormed off back to his place at the cashier, glaring at Ueda who was laughing evilly and pointing at his friend’s facial expression. Ryo sighed with relief, and looked back at Jun who was very confused.
“Uh--he and I are just friends--Uchi I mean--well, and Ueda--they’re kind of possessive of me--it’s pretty weird but they’re nice guys so I don’t mind,” Ryo half-lied.
“Oh--haha, you have interesting friends, Ryo. But then again, you’re a very interesting person yourself,” Jun smiled warmly.
Ryo’s heart skipped a beat.
“S-so--what were we talking about?” Ryo said, looking around and blushing.
Jun smiled but then looked at his watch and groaned, “Oh man! I’m gonna be late! I--I have to get back to work or else my boss will yell at me until my ears bleed. Haha--um--do you wanna have dinner with me tomorrow? So you and I can catch up?”
Ryo’s eyes widened, “D-dinner?”
“Yeah--I’ll make reservations at this one restaurant I know in the downtown area. It’s got the best steak you’ve ever tasted.”
Ryo thought for a minute but then realized who was asking him to dinner, “Sure!”
“Great--it’s a date. I’ll call you with the details. I gotta go--see you tomorrow, Ryo,” Jun said as he headed out the door and back to his job.
Ryo’s heart continued to beat quickly, “A date?”
