<><><><><><><><><><>
When Junno showed up and knocked at Yuichi’s door, Yuichi raised an eyebrow and asked, “And who might you be?”
Junno cracked his neck and steadied his stance, “The man who’s going to grab the love of his life and carry him out of here”.
Yuichi found an instant smile sauntering up his lips as he turned his face to the side and said, “You’re right, Ueda. He is corny”.
At the drop of Tatsuya’s name, Junno was already in motion to step past when Yuichi blocked him with his hand and feet stretched across the doorway, “Carry him out and then do what?”
The puzzled look in Junno’s eyes was almost as if Yuichi was asking him something stupid, “To make love to him, what else?”
This time, Yuichi raised both eyebrows before stepping aside. “Just don’t get any of that love anywhere or on anything in here”.
When Junno walked in, he saw a tiny ball of fluff rolled up on the sofa.
“Nakamaru, you traitor”, came the muffled protest from the tightly rolled bundle.
“Blame Kame”, Yuichi replied, “He must have been the one who sent him here".
Tatsuya groaned, defeated, “Are you two really my friends?” his entire body still wrapped up.
“You’ll get your answer after you two are done”, Yuichi replied, grabbing his key and wallet. "But if it makes you feel better, I'm going to play third wheel and crash his flirting party with Koki", he grined a bit too mischievously as he left.
With just the two of them then left in the silence of the apartment, Junno went and took a seat beside Tatsuya who fidgeted about in the ball he’d wrapped himself in.
“Uepi, you can’t do this to me”.
Tatsuya fidgeted about again, “Leave me be. I’m punishing myself”.
“By also punishing me?”
Tatsuya seemed to twitch a bit. He really hadn’t looked at things like that. But he then added, “I’m a terrible man, Junno. And no terrible man deserves you”.
And Junno sighed, pulling at the blanket that still covered Tatsuya, “Who ever said I wanted a perfect man?” He asked, “I’m not that unreasonable and unrealistic - I mean, I’m filled with flaws too all of which I’m sure you know. So what I need, is you who understand my own imperfections and still loves me… though I suppose that makes you perfect”.
The bundle went quiet and steady before Tatsuya again played stubborn, “I really don’t deserve you”.
“You keep saying that”, Junno answered, growing impatient. “But isn’t it more like, you love me and I love you and that’s really just what we have to think about?” But when Tatsuya sounded still unconvinced with that broken voice, Junno sighed again and added, “Then let’s decide that right now”.
“How?”
“Just answer these questions”.
“Wha-“
“How are you doing?”
Tatsuya hesitated and fumbled at his own feelings, confused by the question’s randomness. “I feel like shit. I’m miserable”.
Junno nodded. “So is there anything I can do to make you feel better?”
Tatsuya hummed in the frustrated voice of his, “There are a million things you can do but that’s the problem in the first place… the problem is the solution”.
Junno sighed yet again, each one getting heavier and longer. Tatsuya was making everything more complicated. “Then tell me, what makes you feel the happiest?”
And Tatsuya didn’t even need air to breathe, “You. Mostly, you”.
Junno smiled. “Then I’ll ask you one more - just one more so here goes”, he straightened himself, “Who’s going to give you a lifetime of piggyback rides?”
And Tatsuya's eyes opened wide before they then closed in intense laughter. He then tossed the blanket away and wrapped his arms around Junno and pulled him forward, “I can’t believe a piggyback ride broke my resolve”, he giggled, all his teeth showing before then pressing his lips against Junno’s cheek. “How the heck did you do that?” he asked.
“Do what?” Junno smiled back - laughing while pulling Tatsuya around the waist and closer to him.
“The way you make smile for no reason”, Tatsuya kissed Junno’s other cheek.
Junno let a giggle flourish between them, hugged Tatsuya and squeezed him tight. “I’m just doing my job”, he replied.
“Then…”, Tatsuya eased off, looking Junno frank in the face with eyes that dripped hunger, “Does this job entail a kiss?”
“It entails many kisses”, Junno whispered against Tatsuya’s cheeks, inhaling every whiff of him.
“So- where shall we start?”
And just as Junno had imagined, he was so thirsty for Tatsuya that he kept licking his lips, keeping his eyes on Tatsuya’s face as though afraid he was about to disappear.
“What are you waiting for?” Tatsuya asked, reaching closer to trace the rim of Junno’s mouth with his tongue.
And Junno smiled, inhaling him crisp and clean. “I really want to but if I kiss you now, I’ll first want to cling to your bottom lip, then slowly work my way to the top. Your tongue would be the last place I touch because once I do, I’ll immediately melt and become stupid and can no longer make sense of the universe except that you’re in it and I’m in it too and that- I love you silly”.
Tatsuya’s eyes glowed with happiness and his heart throbbed all the more impatient, “So then what’s stopping you?”
Junno licked his lips again and tightened his grip. “I won’t be able to stop at a kiss. I don’t want to”.
Tatsuya pushed his face closer to Junno, so close that the light breathing from his nose rustled airy the tiny hair on his skin. “Again I ask, so what’s stopping you?”
Junno hummed, “Us being in Yuichi’s apartment. Uepi, I want to wake up beside you tomorrow morning with no interruption- but something tells me your friends wouldn’t let that happen”.
Tatsuya laughed, “Fine”, he replied, then quickly pressed his lips against the side Junno’s nose, “That’s to keep me until then”.
And so,
‘If a July night could
talk, it would probably
boast that it invented romance.’
Because, even before shutting the door, Tatsuya had Junno pinned against the wall with his mouth hot against Junno’s throat kissing and licking his neck and making salivating sounds as though he was about to partake in a five-star Thanksgiving buffet. Junno threw his head back and leaned against the wall - this way, he gave way for Tatsuya to satiate his pent-up hunger. Tatsuya could feel his skin tingling from the excitement and his heart pounded very loud in dance and salute of its liberation.
Junno then grabbed him by the nape to tilt his head back and looked at him, his breathing growing heavy, his eyes fierce yet warm looking at the man he’d waited years for, “I believe I promised you many kisses”.
Tatsuya smiled and leaned in;
That July night,
Junno’s first kiss was only a peck pressed to the tip of Tatsuya’s nose. Tatsuya’s second kiss was a swift brush of his lips against Junno’s knob of Junno's ears. And their first kiss was when their lips clung and held on for dear life against each other. Tatsuya inhaled so long and deep that Junno laughed into his mouth in a very skillful and sweet treat without breaking their touch of intimacy.
And Junno wasn’t lying. Once he got a full taste of Tatsuya, his floodgates of desired opened up and all soon his hands found themselves under Tatsuya’s shirt while pushing him towards the bedroom.
“Tomorrow, I’ll give you a tour of the place”, Junno told him, pushed him down on the bed and hoovered over him - his heart was beating so strong and hard that he feared it might burst through his chest and literally cling and hug Tatsuya’s own. “Tatsuya…”, he called with his breath coming out long and deep, “I love you”.
And Tatsuya couldn’t keep up with the smile that crept up his lips and took control of his whole face. “Of course, you do”, he replied, nibbling on Junno's chin.
“Wrong answer”, Junno swooped down and pulled Tatsuya’s lips into this mouth again, “What are you truly supposed to say?”
Tatsuya chuckled, roped his hands around Junno again and pulled him down, their nose touching and his breath warm as he said, “But I probably love you more”.
“You’re still wrong”, Junno refuted, dazed and hot, his voice dropping low - but he was laughing and he was hugging Tatsuya and his heart was feeling full and he was starting to feel dizzy that reality was finally giving him what he’d always wished. “But I’ll take it”, he said, dropping himself down and biting on the tip of Tatsuya’s nose before turning his head and nibbling on his earlobe.
Tatsuya moaned and writhed and raised his hip for Junno to pull his trousers off, impatiently bucking and thrusting as Junno held him by the neck and wetted kisses on his nipples then down the muscles of his chest and all the way down to his waist.
In one full sweep, Junno pulled his shirt off and tossed it away leaning back in to capture Tatsuya’s lips again.
“You really are broad”, Tatsuya told him, easing on his elbow a bit to remove his shirt. He was then left bare in nothing but boxers, his skin like a heating pad against Junno’s.
Junno dropped his whole self in Tatsuya then rolled and grinded into him at a rhythm of sexy slow dancing. “Your body is divine”, he huffed, again inhaling the fruit of his patience.
Tatsuya threw his head back, rolling his waistline like he was high on cannabis but not before, dragging Junno’s trousers off and when they were finally skin rubbing against skin - any future foreplay became impossible - Junno’s mouth was fiery on Tatsuya’s dick sucking him, taking him in whole and pulling so precise that Tatsuya sucked in a lung full of air, gasping when Junno fitted one finger into him.
“Uepi, I feel like I’m about to cum”.
And Tatsuya laughed even while twisting and arching his waistline, sweat beads plopping on this skin, “I’m honoured watching you get this worked up for me”, he replied, turning on his hands and knees.
Two fingers went in and Tatsuya bit his lips and rolled his ass in the air, clinging to Junno. Junno watched him and licked his lips with a smile. “I can’t believe I waited years for this view”.
“Good things come to those who wait”, Tatsuya huffed, his feet twisted betwixt Junno's, locking him in, “I believe I’m ready”.
“Are you sure?”
“No. But I can’t wait anymore”. Junno laughed, a dazed nervous chuckle as Tatsuya reached his hands behind him and spread himself wide, “So come get me”.
Junno held his breath at the open invitation before then nudging at Tatsuya’s entrance and very slowly, almost painstakingly he eased himself in to become one with the man he’d always loved. Tatsuya grabbed him by the shoulders and bucked his hips to meet Junno’s own, his eyes drunken with love and a need to touch and rub against each other- like he’d waited all his life for this single union of their bodies and he laughed, wrapping his hands tighter around Junno as Junno moved slowly and steadily into him until they became whole with sweat falling from their foreheads and their blood boiling hot like volcanoes around the ring of fire.
Junno moved in even deeper and Tatsuya moaned, chomping on Junno’s earlobe and in a slow dance sort of rhythm, they rode each other like time being passed on a ferris wheel - slow and hazy but totally beautiful and for the entirety of their intimacy, they watched each other as though afraid it was all a dream- but then their feelings peaked with so much emotion that Tatsuya shut his eyes tight and clung to Junno who had his neck buried in Tatsuya’s collarbone, and around and round his rolled his hip then shifted to up and down pulls and thrusts and as the moment build in their belly bottom, a smile adorned Junno’s face as he felt his undone close- so when Tatsuya heaved his hips and wrapped his feet around Junno’s waist, Junno felt his entire world rising and colliding all at once in happiness and glitters.
And Tatsuya wouldn't have had life any other way than to have given himself over to Junno for Junno to have his way with all of him.
Then on the bed they stretched out on each other huffing and puffing to catch their breath, “Shit, good things really do come to those who wait”, Junno laughed.
Tatsuya also giggled, hugging Junno around the waist with his head buried in Junno’s chest. “Yes. I was good- great even”.
Junno laughed and hugged him back.
.
Then,
Tatsuya told Junno the whole Koyama story and when Junno found out Shige was also involved, his eyes bulged and he suddenly felt awkward.
“You don’t need to be so stiff, Junno”, Shige told him one day while going over a case. “I blame Ueda for everything”.
“Blame me too. If I hadn’t shown up then he would most probably still be with that best friend of yours”.
Shige gave him that smile of disbelief, “You two really do belong together”, he replied, shaking his head amused, “With the way you both selfishly think the world actually revolves around you but guess what? Kei has moved on so good riddance”.
A shy smile found Junno’s lips even as said, “Uepi also said you had a thing for your best friend”.
Shige rolled his eyes, “Yeah, I really don’t’ like that Uepi of yours. I never did”.
“Your loss but what about me? You still like me, right?”
Shige couldn't help himself. He really couldn't be angry with Junno. "Well...", he started, looking Junno up and down- almost as though debating on whether to answer, “You and I are the same, Junno. It’s just that you got lucky”.
“But now you’ve got chance and time”.
“I don’t need counsel from you”.
Junno smiled and nodded. He really understood. “You’re very right. Good luck”.
.
Weeks passed,
And if July could talk, it would also boast that it was made for romantic night outs.
Their official first date was at a canal side bar, sitting and drinking along the waterfront and stuffing their faces with overpriced junk food of chilli dogs, wagyu burgers and German sausages washed down by light raspberry ale that swirled around in their glass like lights dancing in a cup - the mellowness of the malt that whiff through the restaurant made everything seemingly so delicious that Tatsuya leaned in and took Junno’s lips in his- the taste of Junno’s mouth was a balance of sweet and sour flavours with hints of raspberry and,
And;

It would probably boast it invented second chances.
