“Remember, don’t…”
“… leave the apartment alone… Yes, I know that, you are repeating this every single time you are going to the office… Don’t worry, I won’t move my butt from here… Still, I don’t understand why I can’t go out even to buy some food…” Masaki pouted cutely and looked at his personal bodyguard. He hated that word but it reflected the reality the best. Bodyguard, protector and then lover… In exact this order…
“Masaki, are you all right?” Sakurai moved closer and put his hand to Aiba’s forehead. “Are you sure don’t have any fever…”
“Sho-chan, stop it. I am perfectly fine. Now go, or you’ll be late. Besides the sooner you’ll leave, the sooner you’ll come back.” The taller man stood up and gently pressed his lips to the latter’s and kissed him softly, moving away way too soon for his own liking. “Go, go. I’ll wait.”
“Are you sure? Maybe I should stay?”
“Just go already!” Masaki was getting angry and probably that worked because the Border Watch’s officer nodded, took his briefcase and left the apartment. Will it always be like that? This confusion and doubts whether Sho is taking care of him because he loves him or because the fact that Aiba is the Treaty? Even though Sakurai explained everything to him, how it looked like and what he truly felt but that didn’t change the fact that they didn’t make love since training in Kyoto. Was it because the exchange sucked most of Masaki’s strength or maybe there was any other reason? The younger man wanted Sho’s touch and caresses so much that it caused him almost physical pain but from the other hand he didn’t want to rush things. If Sho doesn’t feel good enough to let all his emotions go, Aiba has no right to push his beloved man. A doorbell brought him back to earth from those thoughts, so he ran to the door and opened them immediately.
“Sho-chan, did you forget some…” The man froze on the spot seeing a short woman that looked familiar. He could swear that he saw her somewhere before but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remind the place where he could see her. “E-excuse me, but who are you?” Masaki asked, blushing a bit. Of course he shouldn’t be talking with any stranger (everybody still remembered Ohno’s evil plan) but somehow he didn’t believe that this fragile and a bit shy woman could do any harm.
“Aiba-sama, I don’t know if you remember me… My name is Shouge Sachiko and I am the Border Watch’s officer. I came here, because I want to talk with…”
“Sakurai-san is away, he’s in the office. I am sure that you can meet him there…” Aiba bowed gently and hoped that this woman would soon leave. She sure looked innocent but somehow Masaki had a bad feeling about her.
“No, I want to talk with you…” Sachiko smiled and bowed. “Can I come in?” Aiba hesitated for a while but let her in eventually. He thought that he needs to talk with somebody now or he will go insane, so after giving Shouge slippers and making some tea they sat on the floor at the small table.
“I am sorry, I don’t have any cookies… I can’t go outside and Sho-kun… I mean Sakurai-san forgot to buy any…” Masaki bowed embarrassed a bit and blushed.
“Why can’t you get out? You are a free man…”
“Well, not exactly…” The man started to explain everything: how it feels like to be the Treaty (of course without revealing the details he had to keep for himself), how he feels treated as the most important person in the world… Aiba knew that he sounded sad and this whole situation made him look like the loneliest person in the world but somehow he needed to vent all his frustrations and thoughts. “Sorry, I shouldn’t say such things… Would you like some more tea?”
“No, Aiba-sama…”
“Aiba-san is fine… Really…”
“Sorry… So… Aiba-san… Would you like to go for a walk? Or buy some food?”
“Sounds great.” Masaki smiled and looked through the window with loud sigh. “But I can’t go out alone…”
“You won’t be alone, I’ll go with you. I mean, I am the Border Watch’s officer after all…”
“I don’t know if I should…”
“Aiba-san, we are talking about small shopping in the store around the corner, not about trip to Okinawa…”
“You’re right… And I wanted to cook some nice dinner for Sho-kun…” The man bit his lip, wondering. Indeed it was only short walk and he needed it. “Okay, let me just grab my jacket and we can go… Shouge-san, thank you…”
“No need…” The woman bowed and took the cups to the kitchen and washed them, making herself strangely at home. Without wasting his time on wondering about anything he put his jacket on and soon they both left the apartment heading towards nearest konbini, but at first they didn’t reach this point, because Sachiko offered a walk to a park nearby. The weather was great and since Masaki wasn’t out for a quite long time he decided to go there, look at the trees, flowers, other people… He wanted to make sure for what he is doing all this, for whose sake he keeps golden letters curved in his mind.
“Aiba-san, are you all right?” Shouge’s voice made him look down.
“Yes, I am… Why are you asking?”
“Your eyes… They changed color for a second…” Sachiko smiled and looked at the watch. “We should go if you want to make the dinner on time… It’s late…”
“Shit! I have to go!” Aiba gasped and blushed, bowing apologetically and before he managed to leave he felt small hand grabbing his arm.
“Aiba-san, forgive my rudeness, but do you think we can repeat this some time? I had fun talking with you…”
“I don’t know… Maybe there will be a chance after I will go back from Shanghai? You know, we’re leaving tomorrow…” Masaki blushed and remembered that if he doesn’t go back right now Sho will have to wait for hot meal. After mumbling some apologies he made some groceries and rushed back home. The taller man froze on the spot when he saw that the door were unlocked. I closed the door, I remember… Masaki slowly pressed the knob and with fear he entered the apartment ready to knock over whoever broke in but instead of a burglar he saw Sakurai, who was walking back and forward around the room and was talking over the phone.
“Yes, Excellency… I know that this was my task but… I already called him seven times and… His phone is dead… I…” Just at this moment he looked up and exhaled all air that he seemed to hold till now. “He’s back, will report later… Goodbye.” The Border Watch’s Officer hung up and looked at his lover with slight anger written on his face. “Where were you?!”
“I just… made some groceries for dinner nearby.”
“Do you have any idea what I thought when I came back and you weren’t here?! I called you several times but your phone was off. For heaven’s sake I thought you were kidnapped! You know you mustn’t go anywhere alone!”
“You don’t have to yell at me! I only wanted to make a dinner! And I wasn’t alone! Shouge-san was with me all the time and…”
“Wait, who was with you?”
“Shouge Sachiko-san… She came here after you went to the headquarters… And she offered that she will accompany me to the store…”
“And you just agreed? On a walk with total newbie?! God, she is in the Watch less than half a year! She didn’t even see the real danger! Masaki, how…” Sakurai paused shocked when he saw the paper bag with the food smashing on the floor.
“I have enough! I feel like some freakin’ prisoner! I know who I am and what I am but I have the right to make a dinner for the man I love and nobody can take it away from me!” Sho didn’t see his lover this mad ever before and he understood that indeed he, as well as the whole Border Watch exaggerated with Masaki’s protection. He could be the Treaty but he was also a human. Everything fell apart when he saw tears running down Aiba’s cheeks so he closed the distance between them in two steps and hugged the taller man.
“I am sorry, Masaki… I am so sorry… I promise I will give you more freedom… Just please, don’t cry…” Sakurai pecked his lover’s cheeks and reached to his lips, kissing them passionately. The younger man pushed the latter away a bit and breathing fast he was just staring at him with silence. “Masaki, I am really sorry… I just…”
“Did I really have to get mad at you to make you touch me?” His own whisper scared him, so he covered his mouth and shook his head. Probably Sho understood everything because he became pale and without uttering a word he pushed Aiba on couch, kissing him almost brutally. Masaki knew well that it wasn’t forced, that right in this second the Border Watch’s officer realized how much he missed his touches, kisses and caresses, craving them even more now. Soon their bodies were pressed against each other and after they got rid of their clothes two pairs of hands were exploring every pore of skin. Sho’s fingers were shortly followed by his soft lips and silky tongue which stopped on Aiba’s left nipple, teasing it. The taller man moaned and closed his eyes, wanting to feel the sensation more when golden letters hit him for the first time. He couldn’t catch the word yet but somehow he knew that this was disturbing. Suddenly everything disappeared and all annoyance was pushed away by Sakurai’s movements. Their crotches brushed against each other and Masaki’s world spun around; he was waiting for this for so long that he will come just on a thought of Sho’s lips around his fully hard member. Whether the Border Watch’s officer read his mind or not, soon Aiba felt tight vacuum around his manhood and flickering tongue travelling around the head. It was so intense, so good and so long awaited that the younger man had to hold his breath in order not to come right on the spot. Sakurai seemed to feel the tension and moved away, kissing his way up to Masaki’s ear.
“I want you to come with me…” The older man whispered and without any warning he pushed two covered with lube fingers inside Aiba, preparing him as much as he could, purposely avoiding the sweet spot. This feeling along with the words pushed him so close to the edge that he started to leak already.
“S-sho-chan… Please… I can’t hold… any longer…” Quiet whisper left Masaki’s throat and a single tear fell down from his eye tightly closed. He more felt than saw Sakurai’s nod and soon the older one’s fingers was replaced with his arching member. With every thrust Aiba felt that his walls are getting tighter and when Sho’s hand wrapped around his member and started to pump in the same rhythm as their hips were making, he came with loud moan, followed by Sakurai shortly after. This was the second when the letters escaped from the sealed trap in his mind. This time he could clearly see them, creating a certain word he knew that will appear. PAIN… Suddenly some hot coals filled Masaki’s chest, burning with living fire. The taller man started to cough a bit which made Sho move away a bit. That movement gave Aiba a chance to crawl from underneath his lover and quickly pull his boxer shorts up. With mumbled excuse he went to the bathroom, where he lay down on the floor, hoping that cold tiles will ease the pain, but it didn’t happen. Fire spread across his chest, making him want to scream with all his might but instead he just bit on the towel, trying to make as less sound as possible. So this is how it will look like? This is his punishment for falling in love… After making love he will experience such pain, every single time. That didn’t matter… As long as he can feel Sho’s touch, he can bear everything. Masaki just thanked God that his beloved man didn’t notice a thing… Without even realizing it he fell asleep on the floor, pushing the affliction deep inside his dream.
