“Where is everybody?” Uruha asked looking around.
“They’re probably not here yet. Or Reita and Ruki aren’t. Kai is probably somewhere talking to the manager or doing paperwork, you know how he is.”
“You made me hurry only to arrive here too early for nothing? Thanks a lot Aoi! I even had to give up our morning tumble in bed,” Uruha said sulking.
“I wouldn’t say that it was for nothing,” Aoi said moving closer to Uruha, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“Oh, really? What’s going through that pretty little head of yours baby?” Uruha asked fingering the buttons on the mixer table behind his back.
“This.” Aoi said in a husky whisper, moving even closer to Uruha, pushing him against the table and leaning over to place a passionate kiss on his lover’s lips.
“Aoi! Not here. The guys could walk in on us at any given moment.” Uruha exclaimed trying to push his eager lover away from him.
“That’s never stopped you before. And besides, I’m horny and you’re going to help me take care of my problem since you’re the one that caused it this morning.” Aoi declared biting down and sucking on Uruha’s neck.
“Aoi! No!”
“Just a little bit?” Aoi asked lifting his head to meet Uruha’s eyes and giving him a hopeful look.
“No! Not here.”
“Please.”
“Oh for fuck’s sake Aoi. No means no. You’re just going to have to suffer with that until we get home.”
“But… but…”
“No buts about it.”
Aoi huffed and moved away from his lover, turning his back to him and walking towards the couch, plopping down on it with a big sigh, while still looking at Uruha with a hopeful gleam in his eyes.
Uruha could feel his resolve crumbling and so with a growl he moved to where Aoi was sat, grabbed the other’s hand and started to drag him away from the recording studio.
“Wa… wait... Uruha… What’s going on? Where are you dragging me off to?” Aoi asked, confused by his lover’s sudden haste.
Uruha didn’t reply. He just kept walking down the hall with a determined look in his eyes. Once he reached his destination, the broom closet at the end of the hall, he threw open the door and pushed Aoi inside. Once inside he pulled the door shut behind them and turned on the small light.
“Why’d you drag me in here?” Aoi protested.
“You wanted a quickie, so that’s what you’re getting.” Uruha growled, attacking Aoi’s lips with fervor, grinding against his lover.
“Uuuh. The Kitten has claws.” Aoi murmured, panting, against his lover’s lips, a smirk adorning his lips as they broke the kiss.
“Shut up! You’re getting what you wanted.”
Uruha pushed Aoi against the wall roughly and kissed him again with a bruising force, his tongue finding its way into Aoi’s mouth when the other gasped from the pain caused by the impact of a broom falling against his head. Aoi soon forgot about the small bump on his head as he felt Uruha’s hands wander down to the prominent bulge in his pants, moaning when Uruha’s fingers snaked up to open his zipper, adding more pressure to his gradually growing erection. Aoi was roughly turned around after Uruha had tugged down the clothing that covered his ass from the cold air that was now attacking his exposed skin. Nevertheless he quickly forgot about it as his lover’s long fingers wrapped around his now free length, stroking it as he worked on discarding his own clothing.
Aoi felt Uruha’s cock grinding against his ass as Uruha’s other hand made its way towards his mouth and soon Uruha was prodding Aoi’s lips with his long and graceful fingers.
“Suck them, Aoi!”
Aoi did as he was told, making every gesture that he made with his mouth and tongue turn as lewd as possible, teasing Uruha.
“Enough” Uruha growled and pulled his fingers out of Aoi’s mouth. Moving them towards Aoi’s puckered entrance.
Aoi shuddered and whimpered at the sensation when he felt one digit enter him, soon to be followed by another. He felt himself being stretched in preparation for what was to come. Aoi moaned out loud when Uruha managed to hit the bundle of nerves that made him see stars.
“Oh god! Uruha, more!” Aoi cried out.
Aoi could feel Uruha’s lips turn up in a smirk against his neck. Then the fingers were gone and he was turned around roughly and pushed down onto his knees to face Uruha’s crotch.
“You don’t want me hurting you, so slick it up, baby,” Uruha purred out to Aoi.
Aoi took a hold of the base of Uruha’s length and stroked it in slow, torturous movements, leaning his head down and wrapping his luscious lips around the head. He gave a hard suck on it before darting his tongue out to lick the slit, getting a taste of Uruha’s precum. Aoi moaned out at the taste and that made Uruha buck his hips. Soon Aoi was licking and sucking on Uruha’s cock while the other thrust in and out of Aoi’s mouth. Aoi could feel Uruha’s thrusts become erratic so with a last lick to the head he pulled away and stood up to kiss the younger man.
“You taste good.” Aoi said his voice husky and his lips swollen.
Without an answer Uruha pulled away and once again turned Aoi so that he was facing the wall. Aoi could feel Uruha’s member prodding at his entrance and before he knew it Uruha had thrust himself in, buried to the hilt with one smooth move making Aoi scream from both the pleasure and the pain that it caused.
Uruha gave Aoi a little time to adjust before beginning to pound into his lover with hard and fast movements. Sweat was starting to drip down both their faces and backs as Uruha continued with his relentless pace. Aoi moved his hand to grab at his own neglected length and shivered from the pleasure that he felt as he started to stroke himself in time with Uruha’s fast pace. Aoi’s vision went blank and he let go of his length as Uruha hit his prostrate.
“Do that again Kitten!” Aoi pleaded and once again took hold of himself and started stroking. He felt Uruha nearing his peak as the guitarists thrusts became more and more erratic and began lose the timing completely.
Uruha’s release was explosive and he came crying out Aoi’s name, soon to be followed by Aoi, whose release splattered on his hand and the wall in front of him.
Aoi slumped forward, panting hard, trying to catch his breath. Uruha’s legs seemed to give out and he slumped onto the floor, leaving Aoi feeling empty without the other filling him.
Once they had both gotten their breathing under control Aoi turned around to grab his pants and to pull them on. He leaned down to his lover and kissed him full on the lips.
“Thanks Kitten. That was just what I needed. Now I’m going to go and freshen up. Will you be alright?”
Uruha just nodded and turned his head to look for his own pants as Aoi opened the door and sneaked out of the broom closet towards the bathroom.
~*~
Ruki cursed in his mind as he made his way to the studio with a slight limp to his walk. Once in the recording studio he was greeted by an Uruha, whose grin made him look like the Chestershire cat, a sight that left Ruki slightly disturbed.
“What’s gotten you so happy?” he queried as he took a free chair and sat down on it letting out a sigh.
“It is love, Ruki, love” Uruha smiled his wicked smile “And of course great sex in the morning can do miracles to one’s attitude.”
Ruki shook his head at Uruha’s cheesy answer.
“So what’s up with the walk?” Uruha asked Ruki his grin never fading.
“Nothing.”
“Oh really?” Uruha asked his voice sounding doubtful and raising one perfectly sculpted eyebrow.
“Yes”
“I don’t believe you! You’ve gotten some haven’t you? And by the looks of it someone fucked you and hard at that.”
Ruki blushed at Uruha’s comment.
“So who was it?” the guitarist asked sounding excited.
Ruki was silent for a moment, considering whether to tell the guitarist about Hayate or not. Finally, taking a breath to calm his fluttering heart, Ruki looked at the other and voiced his answer. “Do you remember Hayate? That guy that I dated a few years back?”
“You mean the one that looks like Okumoto-san from Da Pump? The one that made that ring you’re still wearing?”
“Yeah. Him.”
“I remember him. Why?”
Ruki blushed and looked down at his hands. “I went our for coffee with him last night. We ended up at my place afterwards and well we reminisced for old time’s sake.” he mumbled.
“You did?! Wow! If I remember right, you told me that he was a great lay…”
“Just don’t tell anyone about it.”
“Talking about not telling anyone about stuff, I know what you and Reita were fighting about the other day.”
Ruki blanched. “You do? How?”
“Reita called me yesterday. He told me that he wanted to talk to me, so I went over to his place. And here’s the low down… Did you know that Reita is cheating on Naoko with a guy?”
Ruki tried hard not to show the shock on his face and only nodded at Uruha’s question.
“Though I have no idea whatsoever who the guy is, but can you imagine Reita doing the dirty with a guy?” Uruha continued whispering, with a twinkle in his eyes.
“Ummm…eh I can” Ruki said pictures of a sweaty Reita pounding into him floating in his brains.
“I don’t really know how he is going to keep this a secret and what on earth he is going to do with Naoko…but I understood from the things he said that he might be falling hard for this mystery guy. His exact words were: he takes my breath away.”
At this Ruki had to bite his cheek to gain control of his facial muscles “He what?” he said in a very hushed manner.
Did Reita really say that? The I’m-not-gay-but-I’m-so-manly Reita?!
“Yeah yeah…this is so weird isn’t it?” Uruha said lighting his cigarette “So did you two already kiss and makeup?”
Luckily Ruki was in the midst of searching for a cigarette and could hide his gradually reddening face from Uruha.
“Kind of yeah” he mumbled while he was occupying himself with the tricky task of finding a lighter in his bag.
“That’s good. I hate to see the two of you fighting. And besides, where’s our married couple when you need them?” Uruha said.
“Haha... yeah”
Uruha got up and made a move towards the door. “I’ll be right back. I’m just going to go check up on Aoi. You never know what that man gets up to if you leave him alone for too long.” He said winking at Ruki.
Ruki shook his head and waved the other away. “What? Didn’t you get enough of a kick out of fucking here? Shoo you horny person!”
Uruha laughed and made his way down the hallway in search of his missing lover.
So, Reita told Uruha that he was cheating on Naoko with a guy, but didn’t tell him who with. Nice going there retard Reita. Really nice. Though I would have fucking killed you if you had told him it was me. I’m still going to get you back for almost making me die of a heart attack you fucktard! And what the fuck is all this talk about falling for me?? Geez. Get a grip. That’s just absurd!
Ruki shook his head in anger.
If you want us to go back to being the way we used to be then so be it. From now on you’re going to have that old Ruki back. We’ll see how you like that.
Ruki took out another cigarette from his pack and just as he lit it Kai walked into the studio followed not long after by Reita and then lastly by the guitarists, whom were both grinning like crazy, their hair mussed and lips kiss-swollen.
“I take it you found Aoi and that he was up to no good, eh Uruha?” Ruki said looking at the guitarist and winking.
Uruha grinned and nodded. “Yeah. Had to give him a piece of my mind. You’ve repented for your terrible sins haven’t you baby?” Uruha said turning to Aoi.
Aoi just grinned and nodded, then headed over towards the couch located in the recording studio.
“Okay I’ll just go and set up my stuff before I start recording my parts so that we can get this show on the road” Kai chirped as he turned around to face the others with a messy heap of cords in his hands.
“Isn’t it quite unusual for Kai to come in so late when it’s his turn to do some recording?” Aoi said as he lifted his eyes from the tabs he had been going through a moment before.
“Indeed it is” Ruki piped in “What has our dear leader been doing last night?”
“Nothing, I just didn’t sleep so well” Kai smiled trying to evade the subject the best he could.
“So no lovemaking on bear rugs in front of the fireplace?” Aoi said with a dorky smile on his face.
“No. And really I find it quite perplexing that we actually manage to make music when the only thing you two have in mind is the act of coitus” Kai playfully snapped back at him.
“Wait, wait! Only the two of them? Why didn’t you count me in?” Uruha chimed in.
With that Kai only shook his head and headed to his drum set where his technician was already making some adjustments.
“I wonder what’s up with our fearless leader to make him lose sleep. Not that it’s anything new, but it is a big concern since he’s always telling us to rest up before a recording session.” Aoi mused more to himself than to anyone else.
“Aww. My baby is worried about leader-sama. That’s so sweet of you.” Uruha teased having heard his lover’s concern.
“Shut up!” Aoi said. “I was just wondering is all.”
~*~
Reita was sitting by the mixer table lost in though when Ruki decided to put his plan into action. Getting up he went over to Reita and plopped himself down on the other’s lap.
“Why so quiet Rei-chan~?” Ruki asked wriggling around on Reita’s lap to get his attention.
Trying not to blush and look too shocked, Reita looked at Ruki. “No reason. Didn’t sleep too well I guess.”
“Not you too? Aww, poor Rei-chan.” Ruki said cooing to Reita and smacking a big wet kiss on Reita’s cheek.
Reita was shocked beyond belief. Not even two days ago, Ruki had pushed him off and now he was back to being silly Ruki that did what he usually would. What’s he playing at? Reita thought eyeing Ruki suspiciously. Before he got the chance to query about it Uruha piped up.
“It’s good to see that my two best friends have made up. You know I hate to see you two fighting.”
Ruki gave Uruha an impish grin and wound his hands around Reita and gave the bassist a big hug. Reita went completely stiff and awkwardly patted Ruki’s back trying to distance himself from the other.
“Aaaaw Ruki don’t suffocate Reita! We still need him; he hasn’t done his bass lines for the song. After that you can suffocate him and we can find a new bassist” Uruha said tongue in cheek.
“Oi Uru you’re supposed to be my best friend!” Reita retorted, but was distracted by Ruki who was still sitting in his lap and pressing against his groin. Reita groaned inwardly trying desperately to think of a way to get rid of the vocalist and at the same time fending off the growing feeling of warmth in his lower stomach.
“What? I am your best friend!”
“Yeah right. We can find a new one? What’s that about then?”
“I was only kidding. You know I love you.
“Oi! I thought that I was the only man you loved.” Aoi said, sulking.
Uruha moved to sit in Aoi’s lap. “Oh you are baby. “Uruha purred, placing a kiss on Aoi’s enticing lips. “Believe me, you are.”
“Hey you two! No public displays of affection. I’m going to have nightmares now.” Reita said, continuing on with the playful bantering and still trying to think of a way to get the bouncy vocalist off of his lap.
“Aww, but they’re so cute Rei-chan!”
“Stop calling me Rei-chan. You know I hate it.” Reita said turning the chair slightly towards the mixer table trying to make it uncomfortable for the vocalist and hence making him get up, but the vocalist had no intentions of moving away from the bassist.
“Oh, don’t be such a sourpuss Reita.” Ruki said turning his full attention to the bassist and moving his hips slightly. Reita whimpered inwardly. I have to get him off of me unless I plan on walking around with a raging hard-on all day.
Reita moved to get up off the chair making the vocalist slide to the floor unceremoniously.
“Hey! What did you do that for?” Ruki protested.
“I’m going to get a drink. And you were in the way.” Reita said shrugging.
“You could have just asked me to get off you know.” Ruki said from the floor, pouting.
“This was more fun.” Reita said chuckling and walking off.
~*~
That was close. Too close! Reita thought as he poured himself a glass of water.Ruki is up to something. Or maybe he took it seriously when I said I want things to go back to the way they were.
After downing another glass of water Reita leaned against the wall trying to relax. Lately, being near Ruki had gotten him all edgy and nervous. Somehow his friendly affection towards the vocalist had morphed into the not so friendly constant longing and dirty thoughts.
Reita started thinking that maybe he should just leave Naoko and see if he could share his life with a man. Sex was the part he was totally down with after experiencing what it was like. But would he be left dreaming about the way Naoko ran her fingers through his hair or the soft smile she had on her face when she made dinner for the two of them? He didn’t know. He wasn’t able to see into the future and the unknown scared him shitless.
Reita let out a growl and put his glass in the sink, turning to head back to the recording studio.
~*~
Reita walked towards the door to the recording studio to find it slightly ajar. He heard Ruki’s and Uruha’s voices from behind the door.
“Uuuh! Another message! He’s on a roll!”
“Shhh! Uru keep it down. What if Aoi comes back and happens to overhear?”
“So?”
“I just don’t want him to know yet, since for the moment Hayate is only a fuck-buddy. And besides, we don’t want to disrupt the recording session.”
“So? What does he say in the message?” Uruha said, lowering his voice.
“Oh really? You think I was great? Well you’re still a real animal in bed Ru. Let’s go for coffee again sometime.”
Hayate? Who’s that? And why is he calling my Ruki, Ru? And what’s all this talk about fuck-buddies?
Reita’s thoughts were interrupted by the sound approaching footsteps. Shit! That’s gotta be Aoi. I better get my ass inside so that I don’t look like I’ve been eavesdropping.
Reita walked into the studio to find Ruki and Uruha sitting on the couch, looking at the screen of Ruki’s phone and giggling like mad.
“What’s so funny you two?” he asked, feigning innocence.
“Nothing that you’d want to know about.” Uruha said, trying to calm himself.
“Oh ok.” Reita answered turning towards the chair that was sitting in front of the mixer table, feeling a little hurt that his two best friends would leave him out of the circle.
“Where’d you disappear off to anyways?” Aoi questioned, walking back into the studio.
“Like I said, I was feeling thirsty, so I went to get a drink.” Reita answered turning around to face the guitarist.
“Oh. We must have just missed each other then. You weren’t at the vending machine when I walked by it on my way to the bathroom.” Aoi mused.
“Oh. I went to the kitchen just to grab a glass of water.” Which isn’t a lie even though I did eavesdrop.
“Oh, no wonder we missed each other.” Aoi exclaimed, reclaiming his position next to Uruha on the couch and circling his arms around the other guitarist’s waist.
“Yeah. “
Reita turned around to face the mixer table and to take a look at what their leader was up to, letting his mind wander in the process.
What the fuck is going on?! Who the hell is this Hayate they were talking about? And why the hell did he say that Ruki is an animal in bed? Last night? Did Ruki go and find himself a one-night stand? Oh no, wait. He knows Ruki from before. He said still an animal in bed. Who the fuck is he? He isn‘t talking about the skanky looking dude he used to date back in the days, is he?
Thanks to Aoi, Reita was forced out his thoughts and back to earth.
“Reita! Earth to Reita! Do you copy?” Aoi waved his hand in front of the now startled bassist.
“Yes I do copy! There’s no need for you to poke my eyes out when you want my attention!” he mock-growled at Aoi, who was being annoyingly hyper without any apparent reason.
Everyone had gotten bored strumming instruments and reading old magazines lying around, when Kai walked in with a pleased look on his face.
“I think I finally got the drum parts to sound the way we wanted them to sound for these songs!” He exclaimed as he sat between Uruha and Ruki.
“I think I have to go and do my part now” Uruha said as he stood up from the couch where he had been lazing next to Aoi. Soon he vanished behind the door with his equipment.
A moment later Kai announced that he would be leaving because he had nothing to do anymore and Reita was left to sit around with Aoi and Ruki, who was very busy sending messaged to that certain someone. Jealousy was building up in the bassist who was pretending to read a magazine, taking sideways glances at Ruki every time he could without raising any suspicions.
He came to really hate the way Ruki smiled every time he pushed the “send” button or how his eyes lit up every single fucking time he received a message. Reita just wanted to snatch that damned phone from the vocalist’s hands and throw it out of the nearest window. If only he could, but there was nothing that he could do to stop the vocalist from being happy about some fishy dude. Suddenly Reita’s own cell vibrated in his pocket. Thanks to Naoko and her sick need to make everything cute, a happy little voice announced that he had gotten a message. After a moment of struggle Reita managed to find his cellphone from inside his pockets, it was somewhere under his keys and all sorts of other random belongings. He flipped the cover open proceeding to read the message that he had gotten.
I have to stay late today.
I’m coming home after 12 am.
There’s some food in fridge if you’re hungry.
With ♥ ♥ Naoko
“Oh she has stay at work...” Reita mumbled to himself, causing Aoi to pep up and butt in.
“How about some intense drinking at your place then? Eh? Eh?” He poked Reita’s ribs with his bony elbow and grinned.
“No. Not tonight.” Reita answered, trying hard to sound like he was sorry.
“Why Reita? Why?” Aoi continued with a whiny voice.
“Naoko will be pissed at me for allowing you guys to come over and make a mess of the place and we have an interview tomorrow.” Reita offered as a good reason.
“You’re becoming boring and old” Aoi said before he started reading his tabs again.
“I think that Uruha’s way of life is starting rub off on you” Reita retorted and theatrically lifted his magazine to hide his face.
~*~
“Uruha, I think we should call it a day.” Ruki said through the mike. “It’s getting late and we’re not getting any further with your part at the moment.”
Uruha stepped out of the booth and dragged himself over to the couch.
“I think you’re right, though Kai is going to have our heads for not finishing my part for the songs.”
“He might or then again he might not. With Kai, you never know.”
“Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence there, Ruki.” Uruha said, leaning his head in his hands and rubbing his temples.
Aoi looked at his lover and rubbed soothing circles on his back.
“It’s ok Kitten. You did your best. We’ll just pick up where we left off the next time around, ok?”
“Yeah. I guess you’re right. Can we just go home now? I’m feeling exhausted.”
“Sure Kitten.” Aoi turned to regard the other two men still left in the recording studio. “Are you two ok with us leaving cleaning and locking up to you two? Kitten here looks about ready to fall asleep right here. I better take him home and to bed.”
“Yeah. We’ll be fine. Won’t we Reita?” Ruki said, motioning for the two guitarists to leave and then turning his attention to the bassist.
“Yeah, I guess we’ll be fine with locking up.”
“Alright then,” Aoi said pulling Uruha up to stand and then draping a hand around the other’s waist, leading him towards the door. “We’ll see you at the interview tomorrow. Good night guys.”
“Good night, you two.” Reita said.
As soon as the two guitarists had left Ruki turned to Reita.
“So, shall we get on with putting this away and all that so that I can mosey on over back to my apartment for a well needed rest?”
“What do you mean well needed? You didn’t even do anything today besides for badger me and giggle with Uruha!” Reita exclaimed.
“Yeah I did! And I did not badger you; I was just indulging you and trying to go back to the way things were. Now get to helping me so that we can get out of here.”
“Fine. Whatever.” Reita huffed, going over to switch off all the electronic equipment.
~*~
Reita walked into the empty apartment ready to yell out a honey I’m home when he remembered that Naoko was working late.
Great. Just great! What the hell am I supposed to do with all this free time on my hands?
Reita walked into the kitchen, looking into the fridge for something to eat and finding a plate that was wrapped up, piled with food, waiting for him to warm it up.
When did she have the time to make all this? I didn’t even hear her.”
Reita warmed up his meal and started eating it. The silence in the apartment was deafening and he hated it. He started to brood about what had happened that day and about Ruki’s peculiar behavior. He should have been relieved that Ruki had decided to try being the friends that they were before that certain night, but now with these feeling Reita couldn’t do what he had asked of Ruki.
Maybe doing something we used to do would help. I really need to get rid of these stupid fucking feelings. Maybe I could…or not. Fuck! I’m not going fantasize about him again.
Deciding that his idea was usable, if not even brilliant, Reita left his food on the table and raced to find his phone. Goddamn! Where did I put it this time? he cursed inwardly as he scuttled around the apartment in hopes of finding his phone. After some minutes of searching he gave up and slumped on the couch. “Why can’t I have an address book like normal people” Reita groaned. “But Naoko has one! Heureka!” and with that he dashed into their bedroom to go through Naoko’s stuff. “I know she has it somewhere…where would I put an address book if I were Naoko?” he mused as he rubbed his temples. Not coming up with any ideas, he just decided to dig through the humongous pile of fashion magazines resting next to her bedside table.
“How to lose weight in 30 days…why would she want to lose weight anyways? 10 tips for better sex! Now this is interesting…” Reita stopped his search for a moment to quickly glance through the article to see what it was about.
“Torment your partner with at least an hour of foreplay” Reita chuckled as he finished reading the article. ”I bet she’s been using me as her specimen” he mumbled to himself as he continued going through the pile. Much to his relief he finally found the cursed address book. After a moment of flipping through the pages, his eyes landed on Ruki’s name. He let out a small sound of victory. Reita stood up quickly and raced to the phone sitting on the coffee table, proceeding to dial Ruki’s number. While waiting for Ruki to pick up, Reita started sliding back into his thoughts only to be startled when Ruki answered.
“What’s up Rei-rei”
“Don’t call me that” Reita grumbled “I was just thinking that maybe you’d like to do something together. Like maybe watch some movies with me?” He said after that he cleared his throat just out of pure nervousness.
“Why not…when?” Ruki lit a cigarette trying sound as relaxed as possible.
“Like…umm…today? Whenever you’re ready? I have nothing to do, so you can come over anytime that you want to.”
“Okay I’ll just hit the shower and head over to your place after that” Ruki said after taking a audible drag of his cigarette, somehow making Reita shiver.
“Sounds good! I’ll make some popcorn or something. Bye!”
“Yep. See ya soon”
Reita laid the receiver back in its place and walked over to the mirror, checking his face and smoothing his hair out.
He really is coming. He is coming here. To my place. To spend some time with me. Fuck. Don’t panic. Breathe Akira breathe
Reita was pacing around in the apartment, completely out of it as he realised that Ruki was really coming and sounded like nothing weird had ever happened. In the back of his mind Reita knew that he wouldn’t be able to hold back if there was even the slightest chance to get near to the vocalist.
~*~
Ruki sniggered as he decided on what to wear. Just for the fuck of it he had decided to dress nicely if not even sexy for seeing Reita. It was a bit mean, to test how committed Reita was to his pledge. Even though Ruki had decided to keep his hands off the man there was no denying that he longed to be close to the bassist. Before this whole mess had started, he had been dreaming of Reita, memorizing all the small things the other did from his lopsided smiles to his fussing about tap water. Ruki loved him and everything he did.
After making some last minute adjustments to his hair and checking out his outfit for the last time, Ruki stepped out of his door.
~*~
An hour had gone by from the time that they had spoken on the phone and Reita was still pacing around the apartment. He had made popcorn about three times, styled his hair over and over again and puffed the pillows on the couch. The doorbell ringing made Reita drop the pillow he had been fussing over for a good while. He ran to the door, taking a deep breath before he opened.
Ruki stepped in casting curious glances at Reita, who looked like he was going to faint soon.
“Hi there” he mumbled when he walked by the frozen bassist and ventured into the living room.
“What are we watching tonight?” he shouted as he sat on the couch.
Reita was still leaning against the wall performing his most authentic impression of a gold fish. Furiously blinking he tried to get his legs to work while he answered Ruki’s shout with a “You can choose”.
Finally getting control over his legs and composure, Reita followed Ruki in to the living room and grabbed some dvd’s from a near by shelf, putting them in front of Ruki on the table.
“See if you can find anything interesting” he said as he retreated into the kitchen to fetch the ridiculous amount of popcorn he had made.
“The Machine Girl!! Reita! I want to watch this!” Ruki exclaimed in a very enthusiastic manner causing a stupid grin to spread on Reita’s face.
”Good choice,” Reita said as he placed the huge bowl of popcorn on the coffee table, taking the dvd and looking at the cover.
”A really good choice…” he mumbled as he made his way to the TV-set.
”I know that I can always count on you if I’m in need of…” Ruki paused as he dug his hand into the bowl and grabbed some popcorn ”…a really crappy splatter flick.” At this point Reita’s jaw was hanging but to his narrow escape Ruki was facing his back and didn’t see how Reita’s jaw almost hit the floor when he paused his sentence.
”Do you want something to drink, I’m gonna get some coke before the movie starts” Reita said as he scrambled back on to his feet and took few steps towards the kitchen.
”I want some coke too” Ruki spluttered, his mouth full of popcorn.
”Coming right up” Reita said as he retreated back into kitchen. How on earth am I going to sit next to him if…god did my cock really twitch…no not this again Reita groaned inwardly, something he had grown quite good at lately. Grabbing the promised cans of coke he slammed the fridge door shut and made his way back to the couch.
”Here you go,” Reita said offering the can to the vocalist.
”Phtanks,” Ruki said, his mouth full of popcorn.
”Did your mother ever tell you not to speak with your mouth full?” Reita retorted.
”Nope! That’s why I have such exceptional manners,” Ruki replied grinning impishly.
”Yeah, maybe in caveman standards.” Reita mumbled taking a seat on the couch, but making sure to leave enough space between him and the vocalist. I’m doing this just in case… In case of what?
”Ready?” Reita asked turning to the vocalist.
”Yup! I’m all set.”
”Then let the fun begin.” Reita exclaimed pressing the play button on the remote.
They sat watching the beginning of the movie wrapped in a comfortable silence. Reita felt a bit fidgety, but he tried not to let that bother him. Instead he turned his full attention to the huge tv-screen and tried to block out any thoughts that he might have had of the vocalist. This is going to be torture. Why does he have to look so good? And why the fuck does my body have to have a mind of its own?
”Reita, are you ok?” Ruki’s voice interrupted the bassist’s musings.
”Huh? What? Oh yeah. I’m fine. Just concentrating on the movie. Why’d you ask?”
”Oh no reason. You just had this funny look on your face. You looked like you were suffering for a moment there.”
”Really? I’m fine. I’m just getting into the movie. This is such a great movie.” Reita rambled, trying to hide the blush that he could feel creeping up onto his face.
”Yeah, sure.” Ruki said, sounding a bit doubtful, but turning his attention back to the movie nonetheless.
Phew! That was too close for comfort. Reita thought, sighing inwardly.
What’s with Reita? I’m positive that his mind is on something other than the movie. I mean that look was definitely something completely different than that of a person that’s seen the movie a thousand times. He’s beginning to break from the pressure. I knew it was a good idea to dress up a little, to make Reita have a taste of what he’s been serving up!Ruki congratulated himself. Hmm… What next? Hey, wait a cotton pickin’ minute!? Why’d he leave such a huge space between us?! He’s never done that before. Don’t we usually sit close to each other so that we can scare the living daylights out of each other while watching the movie?
Ruki sidled closer to Reita, getting close without the bassist noticing anything. He was too engrossed in the movie. Reita noticed Ruki’s action only when it was too late, somehow the smaller blonde had managed to sneak up on him, now sitting so close to him that Reita could feel the heat the other was emitting. Cold sweat was creeping on his forehead as he tried to get some distance between them.
”May I inquire why are you acting like I have some highly contagious disease?” Ruki said, now turning his eyes from the movie back to Reita who was busy acting casual.
”Considering the way you live, I wouldn’t be surprised” Reita retorted.
”Come again?” Ruki asked as his face fell serious.
”Well…erm…eh…I meant…that you…never mind.”
”You’ve already got your foot in your mouth, so spit it out”
Aaaw shit! Why did I have to go and say that? Me and my big mouth!
”Care to elaborate as to what exactly is my way of living?” Ruki’s voice was icing over.
Instead of answering Reita settled for chewing his lip, anxiously trying to come up with something that would calm Ruki; who was apparently trying to stare a hole in Reita’s head, down.
”Did the cat get your tongue?”
”I can’t even keep up with how many guys you hav…” Reita stopped when he realized what he had just blurted out. Reita’s words hit Ruki like a nice slap in the face.
”For your information the last time I had sex, it was with you and before that I have been practically living like a monk. But I’m really glad that you still think that I’m a common whore” After saying this Ruki lifted his eyes to glance at Reita’s face, which was the perfect portrait of sheer panic.
Now knowing that he had managed to ruin their evening, Reita decided to find out to who Ruki was sending messages to.
”Then who is the guy you were busy sending messages to?”
”That’s none of your business!” Ruki snapped.
”Yes it is my business, I’m your friend after all”
”Oh now you’re all high and mighty!? And don’t even think that I’m buying your ”I’m your friend and I’m concerned” crap!” Ruki was ready to strangle the bassist who was still frozen in the same spot he had been in when he ruined the evening.
Not knowing what to do, Reita grabbed Ruki’s wrist and pulled him into a hug, completely taking the smaller man by surprise.
”Ruki I’m sorry…I didn’t mean to hurt you again,” Reita murmured into Ruki’s hair as he rubbed soothing circles on his back.
“Let go of me, you idiot! Do you really think that you can just insult me and then make everything alright by hugging me? You have a lot to learn Reita. I’m not letting you off that easily this time!”
Reita pulled away, feeling hurt. He knew that he had made a mistake, but he didn’t think that it entitled Ruki to start planning revenge.
“Look, I’m really sorry. What more do you want me to say? I didn’t mean it. I’m just… I just.. I’m sorry Ruki.”
Ruki glowered at the bassist, crossing his arms over his chest and huffing out his disappointment.
“You’re an asshole Reita! Do you really think that the world revolves around you? That all of us other people will jump when you tell us to jump? That it’s ok to act like a real jackass and then be forgiven without regrets? Well you’re wrong! You’ve done this twice now; I’m not going to let you get away with it for the third time.”
Reita fell silent, not knowing what to say, looking down at his hands. After a long, drawn out silence Reita opened his mouth to say something.
“Look, Ruki, I’m really sorry I ruined our evening together by opening my big mouth. I don’t know what else to say. You’re still my best friend and I don’t want us fighting. I acted like an idiot and I admit that. Can you possibly forgive me for hurting you?”
“I don’t know Reita. I really don’t know. It seems that every time we’re alone together we end up fighting and hurting each other.”
“I know… maybe we shouldn’t…I mean…Fuck! Why is this so hard?” Reita yelled out in frustration and buried his face in his hands, leaving Ruki just to stare at him and his sudden outburst of emotion.
After a moment of silence Ruki reached out and poked Reita’s arm ”You ok?”
”How could I be? I’ve ruined our friendship for good” came the mumbled answer from behind Reita’s hands.
”Don’t say that, we’ll get over this, won’t we?” Ruki tried another approach on the situation at hand.
”I know it won’t. I know I can’t…”
”You can’t what?” Ruki tilted his head.
”I can’t go back when I’m feeling like this” now lifting his face from his hands, Reita turned to Ruki.
”Not when all of my thoughts revolve around you, what you are doing and how I just want to keep you close to me.”
With that said Reita reached for Ruki and pulled him into a tight embrace burying his face in the crook of Ruki’s neck. This time not squirming away, Ruki wrapped his arms around the bassist, who was on the verge of tears.
Ruki’s breathing grew heavy as he felt Reita’s heartbeat against his aching chest. Forgetting all about not touching the other man, Ruki backed up a bit and lifted Reita’s chin, staring straight into his eyes. Reita saw hope there and at that moment he knew that they would get through this. Before Reita had time to realize what was happening, Ruki lips placed his tentatively over Reita’s. Without hesitation Reita leaned into the kiss and Ruki granted him access when he felt Reita’s tongue ghosting over his lips. Ruki was pressed against the couch as Reita continued kissing him like end of the world was around the corner waiting to separate them from each other.
Soon both were out of breath and they broke the kiss gasping. Ruki’s fingers were quick to tangle in Reita’s hair and the vocalist pulled him back down for another hungry kiss that didn’t last too long as Reita stood up and pulled Ruki with him, walking towards the bedroom his hand wrapped around Ruki’s. Stopping before the bed, Reita turned to face Ruki as he let go of his hand only to yank the shirt off himself, quickly opening his belt, hoping that the object of his desire would get the hint. No words were needed before Ruki had stripped and stood there staring at the bassist’s lean form in front of him.
A moment went by like this, both just taking in what they saw. Breaking the spell, Reita snaked one arm around Ruki’s waist and pulled him onto the bed with him. Both moaned at the sensation of skin against skin, their figures finally meeting without the constraints of clothing as they continued kissing each other. Time seemed to lose all meaning as the faint sound of roaming hands and small moans filled the room. Reita had to stop to admire how beautiful Ruki was when he laid there breathless, lips parted and a faint blush adorning his features.
Ruki found himself digging his nails in the skin of Reita’s back after they had made the needed preparations for Ruki’s comfort. Somehow the feeling of Reita burying himself in Ruki managed to soothe his sore heart even though the small initial pain was still there telling him that the act they were engaging in had nothing to do with love or soothing the ache.
Finally reaching the state of completing each other, Reita halted his movements and kissed Ruki’s forehead. His eyes tracing even the smallest bit of detail on his face, and continued scattering small kisses all over until he reached the lips he was thirsting for, ravishing them as he started moving, enjoying how the other moaned into his mouth.
Ruki’s eyes flew open and let out a low moan when Reita managed strike the only bundle of nerves that could make Ruki arch against him in sheer pleasure. Both men sped up their movements, wanting to find their blissful release together. With Reita’s accurate thrusts Ruki found himself nearing the edge as white dots were bleaching his vision and dragging him away from reality. Arching against the sweaty chest of the man above him Ruki came trembling, taking Reita with him, both finally slumping on the bed trying to catch their breath.
As the after glow of their bliss began fading away Reita pressed against Ruki’s naked form and nuzzled his nose into Ruki’s mussed hair, whispering in his ear.
“If only we could stay like this forever” and then he fell silent letting Ruki take in the words that had just been said.
Reita was left listening to small ticking sounds that the alarm clock made after Ruki had pressed the front door shut and made his way home. Reita let out a deep sigh and turned on his side, running his hand on the still warm sheets and taking in Ruki’s scent that had remained. Clutching a part of the blanket under his hand, Reita lifted his gaze to the clock he had been listening to, noticing what time it was showing 11:53 pm! Naoko! .
After reality had smacked him hard on the head, Reita scrambled off the bed and searched for his discarded clothes in a frantic manner. Fully dressed, he ruffled his hair and proceeded to make the bed before his significant other was due to arrive, not wanting for her to suspect anything, stopping when he heard the front door click. Reita looked up from what he was doing and saw Naoko standing in the doorway with a questioning look on her face, one eyebrow slightly raised.
“What on earth are you doing Reita?”

A/N: First off we want to apologize for not updating sooner. We've had a bit things going on. First off there was that one idiot of person that killed my writing mood and then there was last week... We were pretty much shitfaced the whole week through. Finnish people like to drink and well.. we're not different. Besides, it was our way of trying to find inpiration to write.
This chapter was originally supposed to be even longer I have it all planned out in this one notebook and you guys should see it but we decided against making it so long that you guys would fall asleep reading it. I hope this is satisfactory. We're happy with what we got written and last night's thunder storm got us so inspired that we're already working on the next chapter.
As always comments are love ♥
