Summary: Ryo and Shige were pretending as lovers and they doing ***, and ended up being real, then they realized that one of them has a incurable disease and his life is already limited.
Note: Terribly sorry about the lack of grammar as it is unbeta-ed. (>_<)
“No! I refuse!” Shige slammed his hands on the smooth wooden table before him as he stared at his father with disbelief. He couldn’t believe what was happening. How could he do this to him?
“Aki, calm down.” His mother stood up from the couch to calm her son down. Placing both hands on Shige’s shoulders, she continued gently, “You know your father is doing this for your own good.”
Shige turned away to his mother with a meaningful stare. “But that doesn’t mean he needs to do this to me. I do not need an arranged marriage!”
“Shigeaki!” His father raised his voice sternly. The younger nearly flinched by it. “Don’t be childish! You’re a grown man now and soon, you will take over this hospital as I have done. This arranged marriage is simply another step to your inheritance!”
‘He’s not backing out on this. I’m screwed.’ Shige thought as he glared at him. ‘I really need a plan on this…wait. I got it.’
“What if I told you I have a lover?” He suddenly asked, leaning slightly closer to his father to find out what his reaction would be. He watched as his father rose from his seat, a look of incredulity written on his face. He could hear his mother’s faint gasp from behind.
“…Outrageous.” His father uttered, eyebrows scrunched together with indignation. “How could you have a lover when you can’t even talk to a girl properly, after all these years?”
‘Ouch.’ The corner of Shige’s lips twitched in annoyance. Without thought, he said with a huff, “I am not talking about a girl! I’m interested in…in men!”
Then, before he knew it, his mother fainted by his sudden declaration. Both men hurried over to her worriedly as they picked her up and settled her on the couch. Sighing in frustration, the elderly man brushed his wife’s bangs away from her paling face before gazing over to his son with a frown.
“Listen to me, Shigeaki. You are not making your parents happy. You are our only son and for you to proclaim yourself as a homosexual…you are risking our family’s future and reputation.” Shige gulped inaudibly in realization. He was right, after all. “…but I’m willing to make a small deal with you. Tomorrow, you will bring…your lover over and your mother and I will judge him. If he is deemed more than we expected, then you can do as you wish after. If not…then you’ll go with the arranged marriage as we planned. Well?”
Shige didn’t hesitate to nod. He really didn’t want the arranged marriage but with his father’s change of heart, the deal was as good as any.
His father nodded wearily. “Alright, tomorrow then. I will talk to your mother when she wakes.” He then waved him off. “You may leave.”
The younger bowed and headed towards the door. Closing it as he left, he leaned back with a heavy sigh, his eyes tilted up to the ceiling in worry. Now that was done…then what? He’d definitely need some help with it.
Immediately, he dialed his best friend, Koyama, and asked him to meet at a small café a couple blocks away from his home. He could tell the other was beginning to worry as he bombarded him with questions. All he could say was to meet first and ask later.
He hung up and sighed as he began walking with both hands tucked into his pockets. Confessing to his friend might be a small problem for him, as he rather preferred solving his family issues himself. But despite all that, the older always managed to figure it out. Upon reaching the cafe, he raised an arm and checked his watch. It won't be long now. He took a seat outside the cafe and waited. After a few minutes, he heard someone called his name.
“Hey, Shige!” The dark-haired man turned to find a brunette running towards him with a wave. By the time Koyama reached him, he grabbed both shoulders and began to shake him with concern. “What happened? You were quiet during our entire conversation! Something must’ve happened, am I right? Right?”
Shige had to smile. No matter what, Koyama would always worry for his friends. It almost made him forget what had happened moments ago. Almost. He heaved a sigh and patted the brunette’s hands reassuringly. “Yeah…sit down first and then I’ll explain.”
Koyama nodded slowly before letting go reluctantly and taking a seat across the younger. Immediately after, he asked, “So tell me what happened?”
Shige nodded once. “My dad wanted me to have an arranged marriage. I refused and I don’t know what the hell was I thinking when I told him I have a lover and now, my parents want to meet him! I don’t know what to do…what should I do, Keii-chan? I don’t have any ideas.”
He raised a brow when Koyama’s lips widened to a grin. He leaned forward and replied in an oddly enthusiastic tone. “So that means you want to find a lover? That’s wonderful!”
“Wonderful how?” Shige asked, dumbstruck.
“My friend can help you with that. You remember Nishikido Ryo, that guy I introduced to you a few days ago when we went for lunch with Yamapi?”
The younger man nodded in reply. How could he forget? He was…quite a looker, even though he wouldn’t admit aloud. Still, the only problem about him was his acid tongue. He mocked and teased him right after their introduction, for crying out loud! “What about him?”
“Like I said, Shige, he can help you! I mean, he’s still single and not to mention that I think he may like you-“
“Wait, wait, wait!” Shige interrupted with a raised hand and a frown. “Have you lost your mind? Didn’t you see that little interaction we had when we first met? There’s definitely no way he would take a liking to me.”
“What are you talking about? Of course, he likes you. Didn’t you know? It’s his way of…how do I put this?...showing his affection to you?” Koyama gestured with his hands on emphasis, smiling.
The younger sighed and rubbed his temple wearily. “Alright. Forget it. Back to the situation at hand…you want me to introduce Nishikido-san to my parents as my…lover?”
“That’s right.” The brunette replied with a slight nod. “And don’t worry about him not agreeing to do it. Tegonyan can work his magic.”
Shige stared with raised brow for a moment before letting out a soft chuckle and shaking his head. “Ever so confident, aren’t you, Keii-chan?”
“But of course.”
--
The next day came faster than Shige ever expected. Or maybe it was because he and Koyama, along with two invited friends, Massu and Tegoshi, went to karaoke for about five hours straight? Either way, the 'Meet the Parents' dilemma came rushing in and soon, within an hour, he would have to introduce Nishikido Ryo as his (really bad-tempered) boyfriend. He hoped the other would at least be civil in front of them. Otherwise...he'd be screwed. Seriously screwed.
He stood around in front of the same place he and Koyama had their conversation: the cafe. Glancing at his watch every so often, he wondered if Ryo would ever come at all. Surprisingly, he did.
He turned and blinked before smiling awkwardly at the sight. Koyama was calling his name with a Cheshire cat-like grin as the three people behind him pulled a very reluctant and very annoyed Ryo. Yamapi and Tegoshi were pulling one arm from both sides while Massu pushed from behind. They looked quite pleased with themselves.
'That's their way of convincing him?' Shige thought as they pushed Ryo his way, causing him to trip over his own foot. He took a step back unconsciously.
The older man quickly regained his composure as he shoved his hands into his pockets and muttered irritatingly, “So we meet again.”
“Y-Yeah…nice to meet you again, Nishikido-san.” He hurriedly bowed.
“Hn.” was the reply.
“Ne, Shige, you should call him Ryo. Remember, you two are going as lovers when you meet your parents. No need to be formal.” Tegoshi pointed out as Yamapi poked Ryo’s cheek teasingly with a smile. Massu strode over to stand by him and tilted his head to watch. “And Ryo-tan, you should remember to behave in front of his parents. Okay? You remember our promise, right?”
Ryo grunted and nodded before crossing his arms with a huff. Shige leaned closely to Koyama and asked quietly, “Just what did Tegoshi do to get his cooperation?” The brunette shrugged with a small smile. “He wouldn’t tell me. I suppose it’s just between the two of them. No worries.”
“Alright! Get going, the both of you!” The four waved the couple off as they went towards Shige’s home.
“Do you think it’ll be okay?” Massu asked, watching the two.
“Let’s hope so. Otherwise, Ryo-tan would see his entire DVD collection sold…to Yamapi, of course.” Tegoshi gestured with a grin. Yamapi raised a brow knowingly. Koyama laughed. “So that what it was?” The youngest nodded. “But I didn’t mention who I’m selling it to.”
“You’re evil, Tegoshi.” Yamapi commented lightly. “I hope I would never get on your bad side.”

Ryo was a little impressed by the sight. Shige’s parents happened to own a large two story house in the middle of a pleasantly quiet neighbourhood. Very nice.
He followed the younger towards the house, glancing at the plants surrounding them. “So…what’s your parents like?”
Shige turned to him, surprised. He wasn’t expecting the other to utter even a word. “My mom’s a traditional housewife and she’s nicer than my dad. My dad, well…he’s a doctor and director of the hospital nearby. I think you know where it is, considering that there’s only one hospital here in the city.” Ryo nodded. “Anyways, I’m supposed to inherit the hospital in a year or two after I graduate and with that, an arranged marriage. He is very strict when it comes to education and relationships…”
“Great. So your dad probably already hated my guts already.” The older scratched his head disapprovingly.
Shige glanced at him sympathetically before unlocking the door and entered. “Tadaima.”
“Okaeri, Aki.” His mother came over to greet him. His father followed closely behind with a newspaper in hand. “Ah…? This must be…”
Shige nodded. “This is Nishikido Ryo.”
Ryo bowed respectfully towards the two elders. “It a pleasure meeting both of you.”
“Hm…at least he has manners.” His father commented softly before leaving towards the living room. The older’s eye twitched. He was already starting to piss off. “Shigeaki, please help your mother with lunch. Nishikido-san and I will have a small talk.”
‘Already?!’ the younger man turned to the other worriedly. Ryo simply shrugged before following the older man.
“Come on, Aki.” His mother called to him softly. Shige reluctantly followed.
--
After half an hour of preparing (to Shige, it felt like years because he couldn’t help but feel anxious about the conversation between his father and his (boy)friend), lunch was served. Sitting around the large round table with delicious smells surrounding them, the four began to eat. Occasionally, the younger would steal glances of Ryo, wondering if he was intimidated by his father. To his surprise, he was eating with hardly any expression casting over his face.
“This is delicious. You are a wonderful cook, Kato-san.” Ryo complimented with a smile. His mother gave a small giggle and thanked him.
This was very strange indeed. Ryo, the one person who he thought to have a stick up his ass (but at least he had a nice ass), was being a gentlemen right in front of his eyes. He was actually being courteous for once. In some way, he felt extremely relieved. Then again, he was still worried. What happened back in the living room?
Another twenty minutes had passed by and Shige then wondered about why his father hadn’t asked any questions about his and Ryo’s relationship. Really odd.
Soon, lunch was over and Shige went to wash the dishes with his mother. His father took a small sip of his tea that was provided by his wife and glanced over to the other. “Remember our conversation.” was all he said.
Ryo nodded slowly and cleared his throat slightly.
“Shigeaki.” The elderly man called as his son and wife entered the room.
Shige blinked once and replied softly, “Yes, Otou-san? What is it?”
Placing his cup down, he stood up and said, “Your mother and I have an engagement at two. If you want, you and Nishikido-san can stay.” He glanced over to his son and nodded almost approvingly. “You are lucky I’ve taken a liking to your lover. Consider the arranged marriage cancelled.” Shige suddenly smiled widely. “I suppose…I’ll have your brother-in-law, Rui, inherit the hospital after you. Now then, let us be off.”
His mother nodded and kissed Shige’s cheek. “We’ll be back in the evening.”
“Okay. Take care.” The younger replied as he followed his parents to see them off. He gave a small wave and closed the door behind him. Shaking his head with a sigh, he smiled a bit. Finally! It was cancelled! He felt quite relieved when he heard that. A small cough caught his attention. He tilted his head up to find Ryo leaning against the wall and watching him intently. His face began to heat up. He nearly forgot about the older man.
Turning his gaze away, Ryo asked with a shrug, “Wanna show me your room?”
“Huh? Oh! Uh…okay.” Shige hurried up the stairs as the other followed quietly. Turning to his right, he strode towards the door at the end of the hall. Glancing over to Ryo, he hesitated for a moment before turning the knob slowly and gesturing him in.
Ryo looked around the room with a nod. The room was pleasantly bright with sunlight passing through the two small windows on the opposite side of the room. There was a large bed sitting in the middle with small drawers and a large shelf neatly filled with CDs and DVDs surrounding it. To top it off, the room was quite clean.
“Nice.” He commented, crossing his arms with approval.
“…Thanks.” Shige walked over to his bed and sat down. With a small pause, he asked slowly, “Ne…what did my dad say to you back there?”
Ryo stared at him for a few seconds before turning away. “Nothing much. He asked a few questions about me and my relationship with you. I think the answers I’ve given seem to satisfy him because he then said that you and I make a good pair…and that if I were to break your heart, he’d call your brother-in-law to break my limbs and I won’t be allowed admission into your hospital.”
‘Otou-san’s threats are really scary especially when they’re real.’ Shige thought as he chuckled awkwardly. ‘And I guess that’s why he’s a little more lenient with me’
He was so deep in thought that he barely realized the other’s presence sitting beside him on the bed. “So I guess it’s over now, ne?”
Shige suddenly realized this and for some reason, his heart sank. He looked down at his hands on his lap. “Yeah…”
Just as he replied back, a pair of soft lips covered his own and the younger jerked up in surprise. He was about to push Ryo away when the other moved back to stare at him with half-lidded eyes.
“Wha? Wha?” Shige blinked as he stared back, licking his lips unconsciously. “What is wrong with you?!”
Ryo shrugged without thought and looked down. “I wanted to try it.”
The younger couldn’t believe his ears. Koyama was telling him the truth then?! God, his life has taken a drastic turn for the worse. Then again…
He licked his lips again. It wasn’t…bad.
“…Ryo.” The older man’s head tilted up in shock of hearing his first name and before he knew it, a pair of cool hands went on either side of his face and pair of lips collided against his own. He wasn’t complaining though. Instead, he returned the kiss with equal vigor and pushed the other back towards the mattress and straddled him.
Within a matter of seconds, article after article of clothing began to pile and strewn over the carpet besides the bed. Shige stumbled as he attempted to unbutton Ryo’s jeans. The older shook his head before letting out a surprised groan. He stared at the younger’s smirk as the other cupped his erection with a hand the same time he successfully unbuttoned his pants. “You…so you think you could do better, you virgin?”
Ryo reluctantly pulled away from Shige’s (not-so-inexperienced) hand and edged back so he was sitting between the younger man’s legs and tugged away his pants along with his boxers. With a smirk, he leaned forward and kissed a patch of skin right below his belly button. He could feel Shige’s breath quickened as he left a trail of licks and kisses up his toned chest and neck before tilting up to his lips for a passionate kiss. Slipping his tongue between the younger’s lips, he then proceed to remove his pants and boxers together and tossed it with the pile without breaking the kiss.
Shige let out a groan as he wrapped his arms around Ryo’s waist and brought his hips down against him unconsciously. He bucked up at the contact and gasped. The older man cursed under his breath but grinded his hips against Shige’s for the hell of it. He was getting really attached to the sounds Shige made.
It was then that he realized something.
“Hey.” Shige tilted his head up with a raised brow, panting. “Let me guess,…you don’t have…necessities…?” He watched as the younger blushed and slowly gestured to the nightstand besides the bed. Ryo didn’t hesitate to open the drawer and soon, he found what he was looking for.
“Well, well, well…were you preparing for this?” The older man smirked as he gazed over to the lube and condom in his hand.
“…Shut up and just do it.” Shige growled softly, his blush still apparent. Ryo obliged, still smirking. He uncapped the lube and squeezed a generous amount on his fingers as he pried Shige’s legs a little further and pressed a finger into his awaiting entrance. The younger gasped as he felt the finger roamed and invaded his body. There was a slight ache when the second finger followed soon after. Ryo looked up to his slightly scrunched face before leaning forward to capturing the tip of his leaking cock between his lips in order to distract him from the pain. Shige’s hips suddenly bucked up from the contact as he moaned. The older held his hips with a hand tightly as he continued his ministration and entered the third finger, stretching them apart.
Shige didn’t think he could feel such pleasure like this. Or more like, his thoughts weren’t processed properly because of Ryo’s talented mouth and hand. All he felt was pleasure.
Once Ryo decided he was ready, he pulled his fingers out and removed his mouth from the other's cock. Shige whimpered and watched the other rip the packet between his teeth and slipped the condom on before squeezing more lube and coating it. Then without a moment’s thought, he entered in one push and groaned deeply at the warmth surrounding him.
Both men never felt so complete. It was exhilarating.
Slowly, the older man began his pace and thrust in and out of Shige’s body. By the time the younger adjusted, he felt it wasn’t enough. He wanted more. More friction. More contact. More of everything Ryo had to offer.
"Deeper...please..." He begged and soon, he was rewarded with a faster, harder thrust. His hands clamped onto Ryo's shoulders, digging to the skin. Ryo hissed at the pain as he quickened his pace, knowing that he wouldn't last much longer. He wrapped a hand around Shige's erection and pumped in sync with his thrusts. Shige suddenly moaned loudly when the other hit his prostate, driving them both into ecstasy.
The older man then collapsed on Shige, trying to regain his breath. He rubbed his head against the pillow and closed his eyes with a smile. He never felt so...happy. Suddenly, he felt Shige trembled underneath him. He opened his eyes and wondered what was wrong with him. He then realized he was still inside him. Immediately, he pulled out, tossed away the condom, and muttered softly, "Ah...sorry. Are you okay?"
Ryo tilted over to find the younger crying. He blinked in alarm. "Hey...what's wrong?"
Shige sniffed softly and glanced up to him with teary eyes. "I...Ryo, I...I'm sorry."
"You idiot! What are you apologizing for?!"
The younger looked away and whispered, "Because...I know you wanted a relationship..." He sniffed and stared into Ryo's eyes. "but it won't be possible."
"...Why? Is it me? Is that why you don't want to be together with me? Answer me!" He demanded, eyes widened with shock and fear.
"I have heart cancer, okay?!" Ryo sat stiffly as the words finally processed in.
"Heart...cancer...?"
"...That's right." Shige replied, his voice full of unrestrained emotions. "I only have a few years left...to live."
Ryo blinked, feeling the tears starting to prick and emerge. Glancing down at the weeping man, he gathered him into a tight hug and nuzzled against his neck as he sniffed lightly. He could feel Shige's arms wrapping around his waist, pulling him closer. Heaving a sigh, he spoke up with a slight smile. "...You dork. Who says I still can't pursue a relationship with you. I want to spend all my time with you. I want you to be by my side. I feel happy when I'm with you...and ever since I laid my eyes on you, I couldn't get you off my mind. So don't you dare say I can't be with you."
Shige choked slightly by the confession. Ryo...still wanted to be with him?
"Even if you have a few years left, I can still try to make you happy. I want to make you happy. So please..."
The younger released his arms and moved away to look at the other carefully. He could see the love and conviction he held. Ryo was completely serious about this. Wiping the tears away with the back of his hand, he grinned and leaned to kiss him. Ryo returned the kiss gently.
"So...I guess you'll be stuck with me, then." Shige spoke up after they broke the kiss.
Kissing him once more, Ryo replied, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
End.
