But all he received was silence. Deep and calm silence, so deep Jin was starting to get afraid.
In that moment Jin started to feel as if he was talking to a statue. And he just erupted.
“Fuck the contract!”
“I can’t my family’s blood like you say…master!” The accent dropped on the last word as he was turning his ice cold eyes towards his master.
Jin immediately answered determinate.
“That rule isn’t ...."
“I should go inside.…” Kazuya stopped his master wanting to just go and hide.
Slowly and soundless just like a cat Kazuya stood up making the towel that was around his shoulders slide from his back on the ground, He didn’t bother to look back and with small steps like he was walking on glass Kame left Jin’s side.
Kamenashi opened and closed the glass door in the same way he would have done with a traditional Japanese door carefully and gentle. He rested his forehead on the glass and he sighed out all the bitterness that was in his heart and he started crying.
/What am I supposed to do?/
Kazuya talked to himself while clenching the left side of his chest.Akanishi lifted his legs from the water and he dropped them on the hard cement , his back slowly touching the grass.
“Maybe…. I am not that star that is sitting besides yours…maybe I am not even present in your sky….” Jin faked a smile and he closed his eyes.
“I had to open my big mouth! I really had to open it! Now everything is reduced to star dust….”
After some minutes Kamenashi’s cry stopped and he just stood there pressing his forehead on the glass. His whole face was burning even the small portion of his forehead that was on the glass.He raised his head and right in front of him just a few meters away stood his master all shocked.
Jin was so surprised to see his butler in that state when he stood up.
“Why are you crying?” Jin formed the words on his lips trying to make his butler understand his question.
Kazuya’s eyes were shaking when he saw his master approaching him, he whipped his eyes violently with the back of his hand and he ran to his room.
He left behind his helpless master. The slam of his room soon echoed in the whole mansion, while his sobs remained in his room.
Jin stepped in the house closing the door and when he looked at the glass he found his butler’s handprints imprinted on the invisible material.
He placed his hand right above Kazuya’s hand trail.
The curtain dropped again over another day. And both of them had to keep on walking on the same road.
Jin never dared to repeat that question the following days.
August was long forgotten, September was almost ending too and autumn was embracing the sad and lonely picture of Tokyo….
Jin was burying himself and his butler in papers and in work. Bills that passed their deadline, contracts that were forgotten and so on…a job that had to be done regularly. The mansion required so many things to be paid and also he couldn’t forget about the rest of his land where he had hotels and a few restaurants.
Kazuya stopped messing his uniform and his master being so stressed with work stopped complaining.
They both entered in a daily routine that was repeating itself again and again never missing a day to start the circle again.
October was just beginning and everything was going perfect, or more exactly perfect being a synonymous to boring.
Kazuya forgot the times when he wanted to annoy his master to rip that contract. While he was looking back into the first weeks when he arrived in that mansion he realized his ideas hadn’t done anything, he just managed to send his master in hospital and to play with his nerves .
Kazuya smiled a little at his foolishness. But as his brother told him he had a name to represent and his little pranks couldn’t continue too much.
Jin changed their program a little taking into account that the weather was stopping him from swimming. Jin instructed Kazuya to wake him up at 9am while his butler would be up around 6am. so Kamenashi would have enough time to take care of himself and even have time to make his master the breakfast.
Sometimes Jin would receive a call to go to his grandfather’s company, even though he sold all his actions but as the only legitimate heir left he was obliged to be there every time an important matter had to be discussed.
=^^=
His eyes opened abruptly, and he stood in his bed for a few minutes until he realized where he was, and after a good minutes Jin understood he was in his own bed, the same old bed he had been sleeping since a little kid.
He looked at the clock and he sighed in relief when he saw 5:36 displayed on the clock on his nightstand.
It was safe, his butler was still sleeping. He placed his legs on the floor and he pushed his body up. He took the package that was on a chair and he opened his door carefully inspecting the corridor before he stepped outside.
The floor started cracking under him and it took him even more until he was standing face to face with his butler’s door. He opened the door just a little so that he could sneak in the room. He changed the alarm from 6 to 9 and he placed the package on a chair and with a note.
BUTLER,!I expect you to wear this!!!
He turned around and he walked away closing the door letting his butler sleep a little more. When he clock started ringing Kazuya jumped from his bed like he just woke up from death.
He started throwing his legs in the air, he had to be clean, dressed, he had to eat and make breakfast for his master in less than 3 seconds.
Meanwhile downstairs the whole party was getting ready for what was about to begin. Jin, Ryo, Pi, Ueda and Junno all were trying to lose their tense mood by gluing a smile on their faces.
Kame jumped from the bed and he started looking for his uniform until the package with the note fell in his arms. He opened it and he couldn’t understand what was happening. He got dressed really fast but his brain was still sleepy.
“Stop right there Akanishi!!!” Yamashita’s voice was almost shattering Kazuya’s sleepy head
almost making him fall on his butt.
“Stop molesting my puppy!!”
“Your so called puppy sank his teeth in my arm!!! He is like a cobra! I will die from the poison!!!” Jin was screaming pushing Ryo away from him back to his master’s arms. Gratefully Yamashita opened his arms and he greeted his lover pressing their lips together.
Jin walked upstairs pouting like a small kid and when he lifted his feet from the last stair Kazuya ran out of his room.
If he continued running he would have rolled with his master all way to the main entrance down on the stairs through the living room.
Jin was shocked when he saw his butler running like a tornado. But Kazuya stepped on the brake fast enough and he stopped right in front of his master.
“I am sorry I slept so much.” Kamenashi was bowing nonstop. Up and down, up and down making Jin a little dizz
“Oiiii, don’t worry you can raise your head now.” Jin lifted his butler’s head slowly and their eyes met. Just like a thunder the memory of that night by the pool sparked in their minds.
“I see that you have changed in the baseball uniform. I am really glad you found it, and about you waking up late, I set your clock to ring at 9 so you would sleep more, so don’t worry….” Jin moved his hand like it wasn’t anything important.
“Come downstairs with me, the guys are here, we were waiting for you to get up…” Kamenashi silently followed Jin until both of them arrived in the living room.
“Look, look!!” and Jin shoved his arm in front of his butler as soon as they arrived in front of the rest of the guys, remembering that it was time for some acting.
/God I fell so blessed when I am acting all spoiled…Hell Yeah!!This is AJ in tha House!!!/
“Look! That cobra called Ryo bitten me!”He shoved his arm so there were just two inches were between Jin’s arm and Kame’s lips.
When he realized what he had in front of his eyes Kame gripped Jin’s hand and he took a look closely slowly touching the teeth marks on Jin’s arm.
“Come on Kame you don’t have to worry about Jin, it is nothing he will live a few more minutes…nothing important…you should see Ryo’s teeth marks on my but….t…”
“My ears are bleeding!!!!!!” Jin covered one of his ears the other one was still been inspected by his butler.
Pi was stupid not knowing the cause of his friend’s reaction.
“Yamashita? Do you want to bite your butt to the bone?” Ryo made the golden suggestion that immediately closed Pi’s mouth.
Ueda continued sighing slowly looking at the two lovers.
“I should take care of this…the bite is quite hard blood started dripping.”
Kazuya pulled his master after him but he was stopped when Jin fixed his feet on the ground better.
“I won’t die from only that, I am okay.” Jin’s switched his tone to a serious one.
They turned back to the living room and Kazuya realized he didn’t know anything that was going on.
“Master?”
“Huh? Is something bothering you Ka…me……..nashi?” His voice started trembling when he spoke his name.
“Why am I dressed in a baseball uniform?” He was felling really comfortable in it but he had so many questions.
“Well, I should explain things to you since Jin was too busy with work to tell you.” Ueda rose from the couch and with steady steps he approached the youngest men.
“There was an old custom that every year a competition should be held between masters and butlers, but this competition stopped around 99’ or something like that” Ueda gestured with his fingers in air and he continued “…and our friend here, Jin, decided we should keep that tradition alive and he organized this competition after a break of 10 years.” Ueda placed his hand around Kamenashi’s neck and he whispered something in Kamenashi’s ear that made him go all red.
Ueda patted Kame’s back and he started speaking out laud again.
“This competition has 3 sports” and he started counting them on his fingers” basketball, baseball and soccer. You will play in the butler’s baseball team with Junno, Pi and I will be playing basketball, Jin with Ryo will be left with soccer.”
Kazuya looked so shocked and Jin was the first one to observe.
“If you don’t want to…”Jin jumped in trying to understand what was wrong, he stopped a little and he gulped his saliva ”or you want to play something else you can tell me, I could do something about…I can find another uniform for you, if you really want.”
“No! no! I really can’t wait to play.” Kamenashi was daydreaming himself playing baseball after a few years. But when he dreamt hitting a ball he realized he didn’t have a bat.
“But…glove, bat?”
“Don’t worry the bats are on there and about the glove, the problem is solved.” Jin took a big bag from somewhere and he handed it to his butler with an “I hope it will help you win.”
“I hope Nagase will be gentle with us.” Jin’s teeth started trembling and Ryo did the exact action but opposite.
“If we lose a chance to shot I will…” Ryo was laughing of Jin’s scared face.
“…I will die.”
“At basketball everything will be so cool the senpai masters are all so nice and we will win easily against the butlers…only if we won’t have Ohno and his butler Nino… YIKES! We will be playing both parties in agony with this two on the field.” Pi’s knees were shaking really hard and he started biting his nails.
“Kame-chan we will have the biggest battle… if Matsumoto and Aiba will be playing in the master’s team…we will be more dead then Jin will be after escaping Nagase’s hands.”
“What is this competition something like the war between Spartans and some another ancient people?”
“Kame-chan you really aren’t that far from the truth.” Ryo started joking hard slapping him on his back.
/ He will be really scared, he won’t want to play anymore, this stupid idiots./ Jin was cursing all of them.
“Ka…” Jin wanted to finish calling him by his name but he went back to the older term ”butler, you don’t have to get scared there will be doctors in a tent and everything if something happens.”
“Master please call me by my name, and I am not scared, of anything…well except…”
“Except tomatoes am I right, Kamenashi? I will call you by your family name if you call me by my name too. Deal ?”
Both of them smiled and agreed.
They stood in the living room a few minutes until they all decided they should go to the place where the competition was going to be held. All of them were in the specific uniforms ready to play.
The baseball game was the first one to start while the rest of the gang was walking around the fields. Jin was looking at his butler again and again every time turning his head to look at him.
Jin turned his head and he saw that the soccer game was ready to start and he walked away. Hearing Nagase was screaming towards him.
“You all are so incompetent! You should go and play in the sand, and make sand castles!”
The baseball game was almost entering in the second half while Nagase was just beginning to warm up his voice.
Meanwhile on the baseball field….
The butler’s team wasn’t in a pink situation either, they had to score but everything was meaningless.
Kazuya was getting ready to hit Matumoto’s first ball but instead of aiming to the bat the ball went right in Kazuya’s stomach.
The impact was so hard he immediately threw the bat and he clasped his hands in front of his chest.
The pitcher was warned but for nothing,as the second ball hit Kazuya in his knee now.
“Matsumoto you will be disqualified!”
But Matsumoto was just smirking. He liked what he was doing, and he had so many reasons to do so.
Kamenashi was on the ground his stomach was hurting him and his knee was almost broke.
/Dammit I just wanted to play baseball not to get into hospital./
He was breathing and slowly he got up on his legs.
he had to hit the last ball, but he didn’t knew if his knee would let him run even half he had to.
Kazuya’s bat hit Jun’s ball right on the edge.
He started running his knee slowly and painfully giving in with every step he felt his bones cracking. He threw himself to the base his chin in the ground and bad luck made another player collide with Kazuya. His whole face was scratched by dust and blood started dripping from under his eyebrow. The impact with the other man put an end for his role in the baseball game.
He had to be carried with a stretcher to the medical point his knee refusing to let Kazuya walk. He circled his arms around his stomach and he started growing in frustration.
“FUCKING IDIOT!!!” Kazuya’s screams could be heared all over the three fields. He was in pure agony and almost all people turned their head to see who was screaming.
Jin had the ball and he was dancing between the other players, he was ready to play a little more with the ball until he would kick it and score another perfect goal but someone’s screams stopped him from doing so.
He turned around and he saw his butler been carried away by two men to the doctor’s first aid tent.
He ran out of the field kicking the ball somewhere. It didn’t matter to him he just wanted his legs to run faster. Nagase was screaming his lungs at him but Jin could only hear Kamenashi’s cries.
Two other men helped lifting Kazuya from the stretcher and they placed him on the bed. The doctor examined Kamenashi and he turned around and he took some things to disinfect Kame’s wounds.
“Jin what are you doing??” Pi screamed from the basketball field.
“I am going to take care of my butler!!!” Jin screamed back at him disappearing in the tent.
“Mister you should…” the doctor stopped his sentence halfway seeing the serious and worried look upon Jin`s face.
“Okay then, I have to see if he has serious damage…” the doctor was palpating Kazuya’s stomach, and there weren’t any strange sign. He made a few more tests and then he spoke.
“The ball hasn’t done any intern damage…he is fine, I should look at his knee now…”
Jin sighed in relief when he heard that nothing was damaged. He was ready to breathe again but he stopped when the doctor made his butler scream.
“About his knee I will put a harder paste on the bandage so he won’t bend his knee to much.”
“Thank you doctor…” Jin bowed slowly and he wiped his sweat.
“I will give him something to relax; maybe he will sleep a little…”
The doctor sat down on a chair and he was ready to start cleaning Kazuya’s wounds but he was hissing every time the doctor cleaned his wounds.
“Can I clean his wounds, please; I fell responsible for what happened to him… ”
“Okay, before I go, here is something for the hit on his stomach, a cream..it won’t hurt him that much after that…”
He raised the cream in front of his eyes and he placed it on a table leaving the two men alone sinking his hands in the pockets.
Kazuya was right on the line between consciousness and unconsciousness. Jin turned Kazuya’s face so that he was facing him so that he could clean his wounds better.
“I will so kill that person…” Jin’s teeth were scratching really hard but when he realized Kazuya smiled a little at him he realized the other one was still a little awake.
“Don’t worry I will take care of you.” He cleaned the cut that was under Kamenashi’s eyebrow, he washed the dust that was on his face and he turned to look for more cotton wool.
“I really think that you should have been more careful.” Jin was looking in some drawers for the cotton wool and for another small bottle of disinfectant. When he turned around Kazuya was sleeping very deep.
In his sleep Kazuya was felling a really gentle hand cleaning his wounds, he fell in dreams even deeper when that hand traveled all around his face and it stopped around his lips. His stomach was still hurting him but he told himself in the dream if that hand touch him there the pain will disappear like it did with the cuts on his face.
Jin bandaged Kame’s chin and then he sat down on the chair exhausted.
Jin was starting to get really worried because Kazuya refused to wake up after 5 hours of deep sleep. He tried calling his name first but he received no reaction from the younger one.
Then he started stroking Kames hand gently hoping that this would wake him up but still no response.
Jin then placed his ear really close to Kame`s lips trying to convince himself that his eyes weren`t cheating on him and that Kame was still breathing.
“Come on wake up…I promise I will let you do anything for a whole week, I can redecorate your room, I will kill that bastard…I will do anything, I will even take you on a ride on my motorcycle….”
Even the doctor was getting a little worried about Kazuya after Jin called him to check Kame`s vitals.. While Jin`s list of promises continued on and on . He sat on the chair sighing in defeat…
A weak cough made Jin jump from the chair.
“Do you really promise you will keep your word?” Kazuya slowly talked between coughs.
Jin jumped and he circled his arms around Kazuya’s neck hugging him tightly.
“It hurts me…” Kazuya’s voice was barely heard but Jin realized on his own he was hugging Kazuya to strong.
“Oh!I am sorry, I am really sorry…” and he detached himself from the hug sitting back on the chair.
After the doctor did some more check ups on Kame he left the two men alone as Kame`s injuries really weren`t life threatening.
“I am so happy!” Jin jumped from the chair and he hugged his butler once again.
“The doctor said you received a ball in your knee…”
“And in my stomach…dammit and it really hurts.”
Jin circled his arms around Kazuya’s waist and he pulled him even closer to him. Kazuya never thought something like a hug could be that warm. Jin pushed himself away a little but his arms were still around Kame’s waist. And just like that their lips touched. Jin’s eyes were getting wet but he couldn’t shed any tear yet. His lips were playing with his butler’s smiling so happily.
Kazuya was so shocked he didn’t even realize what was happening. and he didn’t even realize when his lips started to move.
In that moment Yamashita entered the tent worried about both his friend and his butler.
“You said you will take care of him, you didn’t said anything about suffocating him.”
“Ohh shut up you Pi-g idiot.” Jin grabbed something and he threw right at his friend.
“I wanted to tell you that the first and second games of baseball have ended and the second game soccer game is about to start…Jin?”
“I don’t want to joi…n…”
“Ahh…I understand..you enjoy more Kazuya’s presence…” Pi blurted out ironically which got him a well deserved kick from Jin.
Pi left the tent bowing grinning like an idiot.
He fell on the bed his on his back, facing Kazuya.
“So where were we?” Jin grinned and he turned around catching Kazuya’s body hugging him again.
A few seconds passed and in the end Jin pulled away.
“I should take a look at your stomach; the doctor gave me this, he said it won’t hurt you so bad afterwards.”
“No I am fine!” Kazuya shouted but Jin ignored him.
Jin pinned Kazuya on the bed and he lifted slowly his shirt inspecting the red mark he received from Matsumoto.
“It looks really painful…who did this to you?”
“Ah it is nothing, it doesn’t….” Kazuya placed his face in his hand and he tried not to make any strange noises that could be produced from his master’s touch.
And he hissed when Jin’s finger touched the red skin.
“Just let me find something for this and we will go…” Jin turned again and he started looking for the cream the doctor left him.
“Someone called Matsumoto….”
Jin sighed when he heard that name and he walked back to the bed with the small recipient.
“Sit back down…” Jin ordered him and Kazuya did as he was told.
The cream was really cold on his and he started trembling, but Jin’s fingers were burning his skin. He turned around on his left side so he would face Jin. His head was resting on his arm and he looked deep into his master’s eyes.
Soon Jin circled some bandages around Kazuya’s stomach so the cream would have time to heal the mark.
“How is your knee?”
Kazuya placed both of his legs on the floor and he tried to stand up. He managed quite fast but he soon lost his balance and he almost fell on the floor. Almost… because Jin immediately caught him.
The competition had already ended, and only a few remained around the fields. Pi, Ryo, Ueda and Junno were already home getting ready for the small party that was going to be held in a club in honor of Pi, Ueda and Ryo that have won.
Jin and Kazuya were arranging the sport equipments all around the 3 fields.
“I said you should just take time to heal, just sit down somewhere, I have to arrange the baseball balls you can stay there somewhere.”
Kazuya was limping because of his knee following his master. He sat somewhere and he watched his master gathering the balls from all over the field.
“What happened in the first aid tent Akanishi-kun?” Kazuya voiced out his question.
Jin stopped playing with a basketball and he walked to his butler.
“What do you mean?”
“What happened in the tent…why did you kiss me?” Kazuya was getting scared of the answer he will have.
“I kissed you because I was really happy.”
“And, master, you kiss everyone when you are happy?”
“Well…no, but I was really happy when you woke up. Now I have a question for you too.”
Jin started getting closer to his butler and he smiled warmly.
“Why did you answer to the kiss?”
“Well…I just don’t..I just did…”
“Did you like how I kissed you?” Jin raised one of his eyebrows waiting for the answer.
“……”
“Glad to hear that.” Jin turned around and he gathered the rest of the balls.
After some minutes Kazuya was the first one to start speaking.
“You started promising me a lot of things…” Kazuya started laughing really hard but he was stopped by the bandages from his chin and from his cheek.“Ueda-san told me something back in the mansion; he said something like …”
“I don’t know about what he was talking about….” Jin raised his shoulders making a few more steps in front of his butler.
Kazuya stood up and he looked at his master.
“Thank you very much for treating my wounds.”
“Don’t worry about it, we should be going now, we even have to go home and get clean for the club.”
“Akanishi-kun, you said I can do anything for a whole week…”
Jin raised his eyebrows and he looked at his butler confused.
“Eh? Did I say that?”
“Yes you did master, when I was under the medicament’s affect…”
“Oh…I remember.” Jin said ashamed burying his head in the ground.
“You want to stay home tonight?”
“No, I wanted to say something else…”
“You want me to free of your responsibility of staying at the table with Junno and Ryo so you will be able to enjoy the party?”
“No…it isn’t about that.”
“Then what do you want…..” Jin just blinked and Kazuya was already launching himself to his master.
The night was falling over the fields and with the lights that refused to turn on.
Kazuya crashed their lips simple and fast. And he pulled away but…
The next second all the lights from the fields were on.
Kazuya pulled his lips away but Jin pulled him in a kiss once again.
That moment was just between them.
When they pulled for good both of them were blushing hard.
The smiled trying to, make their own worries fade.
Jin and Kazuya were the last one to arrive at the club but they soon found the rest of the group and they sat down at the table.
Everything was going smoothly, everyone was laughing and Jin was looking at his butler every second.
The club was getting heated but only Jin and Kazuya were at the table. They were laughing, drinking and joking just like two friends.
“Do you want to dance?” Jin asked standing up.
“Not now, thank you…plus I don`t think that my knee will agree with forcing it to dance” Kazuya smiled at his master warmly.
“…..”
“Thank you but no, please go dance.” Jin turned his back at him and he walked on the dance floor.
And Kazuya stood there alone with his drink.
“I can finally feel at ease…” Kazuya raised his fingers to his lips slowly touching them. He was still felling Jin’s lips on him.
“If we are the both of us in this, I won’t feel lonely loving you.”
But somewhere in the club someone was watching them form the second floor with a big smirk on his face.
“So do you think you can deserve the love of your butler? Think again… we will see what is going to happened in the end.”
Reio looked again at the table and at the man that was sipping from his drink.
“ Do you think everything will be so easy, do you think life was easy for me? Think again!” Reio’s blood was running through his body with an amazing speed. His leg pushed the table making the drinks spill.
“I can’t wait to see you again…..brother.”
Just a simple "I liked it" or "Nice job" will make my heart happy...
