Summary: Jin is taking a walk one day when suddenly he trips over something... or someone. It turns out to be a homeless boy and Jin drags him home to take care of him...
Jin was outside in a park taking a walk one day when suddenly he tripped over something. When he got to his feet again and looked to see what he'd tripped over he saw that it was a boy. Jin blinked, why was a boy lying sprawled over a path like that? Jin's eyes widened. What if the boy was dead?!
Just as Jin thought this the boy moaned and stirred opening his eyes staring at Jin. Jin stared back.
"Who are you?" the boy asked.
"I'm the one who just tripped over you", Jin said. "Why are you sleeping here?"
"I got kicked out and now I have no place to stay."
"You should've chosen a better place to sleep on though."
The boy blinked and looked around.
"Hey!" he burst out. "This is not where I fell asleep! Some damn kids must've moved me again..."
Jin stared at the boy dumbfounded.
"You mean this kind of thing happens often?" he asked.
"At least once a week", the boy answered and then yelped as Jin grabbed him and hauled him to his feet. "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking you home", Jin said.
"But I don't have a home", the boy protested.
"I meant my home."
"But I don't know you... Are you going to rape me or something?" the boy said and started struggling against Jin's grip.
"I'm Akanishi Jin; I'm 100% straight, now you know me. What's your name?"
"Kamenashi Kazuya."
"Kame huh? Then I'll make you my pet turtle."
Kazuya stared at Jin incredulously.
"Excuse me?"
"I've always wanted a pet", Jin said simply, "so I'm making you my pet. I'll take care of you."
Kazuya frowned.
"Don't tell me you're some kind of a crazy pervert that likes to keep people as his pets and then use them."
"I told you I'm 100% straight", Jin sighed. "You don't have a place to stay right? So I'm giving you one. In return you'll be my pet and let me take care of you."
Kazuya blinked, was this guy for real? Now he almost wished that it was a rapist that had tripped over him.
"Come on", Jin said. "You can hardly get a better offer than this; you won't have to pay or anything."
Kazuya thought about his options, he had no money and no friends to stay with. He could either be this guy's pet or starve and freeze to death in some park. Kazuya looked at the man who was dragging him along. Jin had dark brown hair that curled slightly at the ends and full lips that just begged to be kissed. Wait, where did that thought come from? Kazuya shook his head in an attempt to clear it.
"Okay", he mumbled. "I'll be your pet... but if you do anything dirty I'll kick your ass!"
"A scrawny looking guy like you?" Jin said and chuckled. "But okay, it's a deal! So I'll take you home now and give you food."
Without Kazuya realising it they'd arrived at an apartment building and Jin dragged him inside practically pushing him into the elevator.
Jin pushed one of the buttons and the elevator started moving upwards, he turned to look at Kazuya who didn't look very comfortable. It looked like he thought that Jin would jump him at any minute. Jin grinned and moved closer to Kazuya who backed away.
"What are you doing?" he asked with big frightened eyes.
"I just want to cuddle with my pet", Jin said with a pout and Kazuya's eyes widened even more.
"I told you to not do anything dirty", Kazuya said. "I won't hesitate to hit you!"
"I'm not going to do anything dirty", Jin said and finally got close to Kazuya since the boy couldn't back away anymore.
Jin stopped as his chest was almost touching Kazuya's and then he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy’s waist.
"I just want to hug you!" he said cheerfully and Kazuya slumped against him in relief.
"I'd never do anything to hurt my pet... but you're just so fun to tease." Kazuya glared at Jin who had a ridiculous grin on his face.
Then Kazuya got an idea and he snuggled closer to Jin burying his face in the crook of Jin's neck. He felt Jin relax and he grinned as he bit down on Jin's neck. Jin yelped and jumped away from Kazuya staring at him in shock while rubbing his neck.
"What was that for?"
"Sometimes turtles bite", Kazuya said and walked out of the elevator as the doors opened.
Jin followed him pouting and grabbed Kazuya's arm to drag the boy with him to the front door of his apartment. He let go of Kazuya as he searched around in his bag for the keys and Kazuya looked around in the corridor. It looked like a quite posh apartment building, everything was spotlessly clean and there were flowers in vases and paintings on the wall.
Kazuya pondered; maybe Jin was rich or something... Jin finally found the keys and he unlocked the door and opened it leading Kazuya inside. Kazuya's eyes widened as he saw the apartment, he'd never seen one so huge before. It was only one room but Kazuya could bet that his family's entire house would fit in it.
"Take off your shoes and make yourself at home while I make some food", Jin said. "But be careful, you're quite dirty and I don't want to ruin the furniture."
Kazuya took off his shoes and followed Jin who walked to the kitchen part of the apartment.
"Are you rich?" he blurted out and Jin looked at him with an amused expression.
"I thought you'd at least heard my name sometime even if you hadn't seen my face", he said. "I'm a singer... the most popular singer at the moment actually and voted sexiest man."
Jin chuckled as he turned away from Kazuya and started cooking. Kazuya just stared at him, a famous singer voted to be the sexiest man wanted him as a pet?
"Why would you want me as a pet?" Kazuya asked. "I mean, you could pretty much buy any animal you want and instead you choose me... a homeless boy."
"I'm not allowed to have pets in this apartment", Jin explained. "But you're better than any animal anyway; you actually answer me when I talk to you. It gets pretty lonely here."
"But you must have a lot of friends. You're so handsome and..." Kazuya realised what he'd said and blushed.
"Thanks", Jin said smiling. "But that's the problem I guess, everyone want to be my friend because of my looks and my money. No one wants to get to know the real me. I know I shouldn't complain, I have a home and I don't have to sleep on the streets. Or in your case on a path in a park."
Kazuya felt sorry for Jin, he looked so sad and so lonely. Without thinking about what he was doing he walked up to Jin and wrapped his arms around the taller boy from behind. Jin turned his head around in surprise and tried to look at Kazuya.
"What are you doing?"
"Pets are supposed to comfort their owners", Kazuya replied and Jin smiled.
"And they're supposed to not disturb their owners when the owners are cooking", Jin said but he smiled.
Kazuya withdrew his arms and sat down in one of the kitchen chairs.
"You're just complaining because I stink right?" Kazuya asked and Jin laughed.
"Yeah", he said and Kazuya pouted.
Soon enough Jin was done cooking and he put a plate filled with food in front of Kazuya and the boy started gobbling it down.
"Don't eat too fast", Jin said as he sat down with his own plate of food. "Your stomach will hurt."
"It's fine", Kazuya said his voice muffled since his mouth was full of food.
Just minutes later they were finished eating and Kazuya's stomach did indeed hurt.
"I told you so", Jin said and Kazuya glared. "Wait here for a minute, I'll be right back."
Kazuya nodded and Jin went into what Kazuya thought was the bathroom.
A few minutes later Jin emerged and dragged Kazuya with him.
"What are you doing now?" Kazuya asked and groaned as his stomach still hurt.
"It's time for your bath", Jin said and pushed Kazuya into the bathroom closing the door behind them.
"W-what?" Kazuya stuttered. "I'm perfectly capable of bathing myself; I don't need your help..."
"But you're my pet and I want to bathe you", Jin pouted. Kazuya gulped, this was not good.
Jin walked closer to Kazuya and started unbuttoning the younger boy's shirt.
"J-jin", Kazuya said. "Maybe this isn't such a good idea."
"Why, we're both boys right?" Kazuya shivered as Jin's hands brushed over his skin, maybe that was the problem.
Jin pushed the shirt over Kazuya's shoulders and he started working on the boy's pants next.
Soon Kazuya stood in front of Jin in his boxers only.
"Please turn around", Kazuya said and Jin obeyed.
Kazuya stripped completely and sank down into the bathtub completely covered in bubbles.
"You can look now."
Jin turned around again and he kneeled beside the tub.
"Let me shampoo your hair", Jin said and Kazuya nodded.
Jin squeezed out a bit of shampoo into his hand.
"You'll have to get your hair wet first", he said and Kazuya took a deep breath and disappeared beneath the bubbles and then popped back up a moment later.
Jin thought that he looked like a drenched puppy and found it adorable. He started massaging the shampoo into Kazuya's hair.
Kazuya closed his eyes and relaxed as he felt Jin's hands rubbing his scalp. He couldn't stop the low moan that escaped him and Jin chuckled.
"So you like this huh?" he asked and Kazuya blushed. "I've been told I have talented hands."
Kazuya felt a sudden burst of jealousy run through him, who had told Jin that and in what situation? The boy pouted and Jin frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing", Kazuya said a bit too quickly.
"Tell me", Jin said.
"I just wondered who'd told you that", Kazuya mumbled and blushed.
Jin smiled.
"I play the guitar", he said, "and so people have commented on how talented I am with my hands while playing the guitar."
"Oh", Kazuya said and smiled.
"I think I've got myself a jealous pet", Jin said grinning.
"I w-wasn't jealous!" Kazuya said blushing furiously and Jin chuckled.
"I think it's cute. Okay, I'm done; you can rinse your hair now."
"Already?" Kazuya was disappointed; he could spend the rest of his life being bathed by Jin.
"Yes, already", Jin smirked. "The water is getting cold and I want to bathe too."
"You could join me", Kazuya said and then slapped a hand over his mouth. Had he just said that?
"Are you sure?" Jin asked with a raised eyebrow. "You were so shy before."
"W-well, it's not l-like you'll see anything", Kazuya blushed.
"Okay", Jin said standing up and started to remove his clothes.
Kazuya looked away embarrassed when Jin entered the tub.
Luckily it was a big tub so they both fit in it and only their legs brushed together when they had them pulled up against their bodies.
"Uh, I could shampoo your hair", Kazuya said not daring to look at Jin.
"Really?" Jin asked and when Kazuya nodded he turned around so that his back was leaning against Kazuya's legs.
Kazuya nervously took some of the shampoo in his hand and started massaging it into Jin's hair. His hair was soft and Kazuya loved the feeling when it slipped through his fingers. Jin moaned and Kazuya felt as if his face was burning up.
"That feels good", Jin said in a low voice and was Kazuya just imagining things or was it slightly husky?
"I'm g-glad", he stuttered and Jin turned his head a bit to look at him.
"Are you blushing?"
"No!" it was obviously a lie and Jin grinned and turned around again dipping his head into the water before coming back up again, his hair flat on his head. Kazuya thought that he looked absolutely gorgeous.
A bit of Jin's broad masculine chest was visible and droplets of water ran down it. Water sparkled in Jin's eyelashes and the full soft lips were moist. Kazuya's mouth suddenly felt very dry and he gulped when Jin leaned closer. Jin brushed some hair from Kazuya's face and smiled.
"I'm really glad I made you come with me Kazuya", Jin said and Kazuya thought that his own name had never sounded more beautiful than when Jin said it.
"I'm glad too", Kazuya said, he almost had to force the words to come out.
Kazuya bit his lip as Jin's hand went out of his hair and caressed his cheek and then down his neck. Was the older man doing this on purpose? Did he know how much he was affecting Kazuya? Jin's other hand came to rest on Kazuya's knee.
"You're very pretty for being a boy", Jin commented.
"Uh, thanks", Kazuya said blushing even more.
Jin tilted his head and it looks like he was pondering about something.
"I wonder... how it would feel kissing another man", he said finally and Kazuya's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
Was this the same man that had said that he was 100% straight?
"Uh, Jin... what are you talking about?"
"I want to kiss you Kazuya."
"But you aren't supposed to kiss your pets", Kazuya said and gulped. "Not like... that."
"I know", Jin said and took his hands away from Kazuya. "I know, I'm sorry."
He suddenly stood up and Kazuya averted his eyes from the oh so attractive body in front of him. Jin got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around his waist.
"I'm really sorry", Jin mumbled and walked out from the bathroom.
Kazuya stared at the spot Jin had just left for awhile before he snapped out of it and got out of the tub as well quickly grabbing a towel and wrapping it around him before he stumbled out of the bathroom after Jin.
"Jin, wait!" he called out and Jin who was currently taking out a pyjamas from the closet beside his bed looked at him.
"What?" Jin asked and Kazuya walked to him with determined steps and grabbed the back of his head pulling him down for a kiss.
Jin's eyes widened as he felt Kazuya's lips against his but then he slowly relaxed and closed his eyes revelling in the feeling. His arms encircled Kazuya's waist and pulled the boy closer. Skin met skin as they both only had towels around their waists.
When the kiss came to an end Jin stared at Kazuya.
"But I'm not supposed to kiss my pet", Jin said.
"If the pet doesn't mind it's okay to kiss him", Kazuya said with a shy smile.
Jin grinned and leaned down to give Kazuya another kiss. The younger boy moaned as Jin thrust his tongue into his mouth and when they parted again they were both panting.
"We should get some sleep", Jin said finally and Kazuya nodded, the boy was a bit dazed.
Jin released his grip on Kazuya and handed him the pyjamas he'd taken out from the closet.
"Thanks", Kazuya said and looked around.
"You can change in the bathroom if you're not comfortable doing it in front of me."
Kazuya nodded and walked back to the bathroom drying himself a bit before he put on the pyjamas.
When he went back into the main room of the apartment Jin was wearing a pair of pyjama bottoms and he was sitting on the bed.
"Where should I sleep?" Kazuya asked and Jin patted the bed.
"On the bed with me", he said. "It's a big bed."
Kazuya gulped and went to lie down on the bed beside Jin. Jin pulled the covers over the both of them and pulled Kazuya into an embrace.
As Kazuya revelled in the warmth coming from the man beside him he wondered how everything had gone so fast. He looked at Jin and he didn't mind at all. This was the beginning of something wonderful. Kazuya closed his eyes and drifted of to sleep, he wouldn't have to worry anymore.
