They started early that day to find places that will remind Kazu of his memory.
They have revisited the train station and mostly just ride from one point to the other, just letting things flow and from time to time, Jin is asking Kazu if he remembers anything from that station and at almost after he said it the younger guy will shake his head and Jin knows how frustrating that is so he will just nod and smile at the guy.
They have reached the last stop of the train and Jin jokingly told Kazu that their train hoping days are over and when Jin looked at Kazu, he felt like a cad for mentioning that, he thought that Kazu would take it as a joke but from the worried almost tearful expression of the younger guy, Jin knew that it wasn’t bit funny for Kazu.
“I didn’t mean to sound like that, it should have been funny, for me anyways, but I’m sorry Kazu” Jin explained
“It should have been me doing the apologizing Jin, I just can’t seem to recall any” sigh Kazu while he stood up and is being guided by Jin towards the exit door
“I am a burden, right?” Kazu asked while lifting his face up to the older guy that was standing just behind him while waiting for the door to open
Jin thought that he only wants to steady Kazu just in case the train will do an abrupt stop hence he was standing really close to the younger guy, his front is basically plastered at the back of Kazu and when the younger guy lifted his face up to look at him, the worry that he saw on Kazu’s eyes and those luscious lips slightly parted drew his attention most, Jin had the most basic urge to just place a chaste kiss on those lips just cause he feels like doing it and he reasoned as well that he doesn’t like seeing the younger guy worried. He uses his peripherals to scan the cabin and found only another couple busy cuddling on the other side, so he mustered up all his courage and thought heck to all other reasons, he slowly lowered his face to Kazu.
“Jin…” Kazu was just about to asked the older guy if something’s wrong as he can see the intent look on his face when Jin lowered his face to him and he knew what will happen next
Jin only wanted to have a chaste kiss, or just a peck heck just even a linger of lips to lips but when his lips touched the younger guys soft lips, he wanted to throw away that idea and just have a go for a good open mouth lock on. He knew that it only lasted for a few seconds but for Jin it felt like an eternity. Being able to taste the younger guy with just his lips rattled him; no woman had made him fell like that ever, he is now wondering if just in case he got that open mouth kiss that he wished for, what he could be doing now and he sure knows about it.
He will be on top of this younger guy, without any stitch on.
Kazu’s thoughts just flew a million miles away from him and his brain is surely in the puddle of mud division. He thought that Jin just sucked out his ability to think straight though he cannot point a finger on it, his senses are all alert and he felt he can smell something and he can see flashes of white all around him and he can hear voices but cannot point a finger on it. But one thing is for sure, that kiss awakened something in him that he felt was sleeping all this time.
“I’m sorry” Jin husked
“I’m not” Kazu said and smiled up to Jin
Jin knew this guy was different and that he doesn’t mind at all that he is, it was a revelation to him as well. He love women and he will always find fulfillment from them in terms of satisfying this urges and desires. But it was hell of a lot different with Kazu, he felt contented having him around, he felt happy seeing him happy and smiling, he aches to get intimate with him, that never happened to him before with any other girls, he felt very protective of him, he wants to shield him from any harm and now knowing that he is not much of any help with the memory of the younger guy returning, he felt helpless, vulnerable and out of control, things that are never associated with him. But he has decided the moment that he looked at him in the train that he will help Kazu and he never ever back out from his word.
“What do you say if we just roam around and see if your senses can pick up something?” Jin suggested
“That would be nice; do you have anything in mind?” Kazu asked
“I was thinking of eating first” Jin said thinking that he just wanted some more privacy with Kazu before taking the world on
“But we have just eaten before leaving” Kazu said while laughing as it was just a few hours passed since they have eaten their breakfast
“I am a growing boy and this body needs energy” Jin said all the while flexing his body to show off his muscles
“That is not muscle, those are fats” teased Kazu while feeling and touching the older guys’s biceps
“Fat!!!! I am never fat in my life, take it back” Jin said looking appalled
No one dared to call him that and no one will believe he is that.
“I was told not to lie, so I will not lie to you Jin” from the twinkling of Kazu’s eyes Jin knew that Kazu is feeling better and hence he just go along with it
“I will get you and once I get my hands on you, I will make sure you touch all of my body to know for sure that I am not fat” Jin declared and all the while he knew his threat was half meant as knowing his body will be touched by Kazu thrilled him
“You will never catch me and I will not lay a hand on you” Kazu screamed and made a dash outside the train station
Jin felt so happy. He was a little late in running after the younger guy as he was still reveling on this new feeling when Kazu run, so he was a little ahead of him and when Jin catch up with the younger guy he was panting with his breathe and he knew that Kazu will tease him about it. He caught the younger guy when he veered towards the entrance of a park, Jin caught him and put his arms around the younger guys middle and carried him to a nearby park bench to sit. Jin thought of sitting Kazu on the bench then decided against it and he sat down bringing the younger guy on his lap and started tickling Kazu for his payback.
“Now I got you, you’re going to get it, I will attack you” Jin started tickling Kazu all the while the younger guy is sitting on his lap
“Jin, no I’m ticklish” pleaded Kazu trying to blocked the hands of the older guy and laughing till his lungs can’t take any more air and his heart seemed to raced doubly hard by being held like this by Jin and by laughing too much
“Coz you made me run, and you called me fat, I have to punish you, you meanie” Jin said while continuing his assault on the younger boys body, never caring if the on lookers and passersby are both giving them weird, crazy, curious, care free smiles for they are oblivious to their surroundings just the two of them in this attack-defend tickling war.
Jin was not sure how it happened, but when their tickling battle was over as both of them cannot breathe anymore, he came to his senses then and saw that while he was sitting on the bench, Kazu is not straddling him with both of his knees at Jin’s side and Kazu’s face was just inches away from him. Kazu still has this glow from laughing and his eyes are such lovely brown hazel color to him and his lips are just still as luscious waiting to be kissed. Jin noticed that his hands are now splayed at the younger guys hips and Kazu’s hands are rested at Jin’s chest. Anyone looking at them will surely know that they are lovers and had been in this relationship for a long time.
He doesn’t care about them.
He cared only for this moment, this guy and this feeling that he had.
Jin is in love with Kazu.
The realization wasn’t at all surprising to Jin, he knew that he was attracted to Kazu he just put off that thought aside and just believed other reasoning. Now that he was sure of his feeling, one thought intruded his elation, what if Kazu never found out who he really was, it was alright with Jin, he can live with that but the pain and anguish that he saw from the younger guy for not being able to remember tore at his heart and he is not that bad of a person to totally be selfish and not help the younger guy. He vowed he will help him remember again or found out who he was and he will not turn back from that promise. He felt relaxed reinforcing his decision but then another thought intruded in his mind, what if the person that Kazu is when he found out who he truly was is not the same Kazu that he is now, what if he detest this kind of closeness between two guys, Jin cannot stomach thinking that the younger guy being repulsed by his touches, his kisses, his advances, his tickling, his presence, his whole being, Jin was thinking what if.
He just realized that he is in love and as a pessimist that he is on this whole business of falling in love this is all new to him. Didn’t he tell that he never believes in love and that being in a long relationship doesn’t suit him and he never cared enough to be in one? But that is all now changed just because this younger looking guy entered his life and everything is changed.
His preference, his beliefs, his outlook in life and in love and even his very own heart.
“Jin are you alright, did it hurt much being tickled?” Kazu asked his voice whisper soft with a trace of concern on it
“No, baka I’m alright” Jin reassured flashing the younger guy his smile
“It’s just that your face says differently, one moment your smiling the next blink of the eyes you’re scowling” Kazu explained lifting his right hand away from the older guys chest and drawing it to face to smooth the brows of Jin
The touch was feather light and was just only for the briefest of moments yet Jin felt as if the caress was done directly to his soul. He love the feel of Kazu’s fingers on his face, he felt so warm deep inside and he wanted nay needed to have Kazu’s touch all over his body just to have that sense of feeling again.
“I was just thinking that probably, maybe you shouldn’t be straddling me like this in public, coz I cannot guarantee you that I can keep my hands to myself and touch you where you haven’t been touched” Jin teased but knew that given the right place he would have done exactly that
“And I would have let you with all my heart” countered Kazu sassily and was laughing so hard while trying to stand up and in the process he clumsily slipped and his right knee landed in between Jin’s thigh directly into his crotch which Kazu profusely apologize for and was smothering the portion where his knee was at as if swatting the pain away.
Jin literally saw red in pain.
He was not really hurt that bad, but having the younger guys hand touching him there though he has his jeans on, the material prove to be a little barrier against his desire. He was having a hard on just cause of that.
“Stop…” Jin whispered to the younger guys’ ear while taking Kazu’s hands and binding them together
“Kazu you have to stop,,, or else I won’t be able to” Jin finishes and pulled harder on Kazu’s bound hands closer to him so his face was just inches from him, and when he noticed that the younger guy has his apologetic look on his eyes he then kissed Kazu as he was about to open his mouth to utter his apologies. Jin captured the words that the younger guy was supposed to say, it then turned into a sigh and quickly developed into a moan, such purring sounds from the back of his throat that Jin realized he likes. He would have used his tongue to explore more about the younger guys’ mouth but Jin decided that he has given too much already and he doesn’t want to confuse the guy with his advances.
“That was nice, thank you” Kazu stated while looking at Jin’s deep caramel brown eyes glazed with passion
“That’s it, just nice?” Jin asked incredulously
In all his womanizing days, as far as he can remember no girl had the gall to say that his kisses were nice. Normally when he kissed, all the girls’ turns into a jumble bunches of mess that they cannot think straight and normally they will do just about anything else and practically beg him for more. Kazu again proves to be made of entirely different set.
“Uhm, sorry Jin, that’s the first thing that comes to my mind”
“Look here Kazu, whenever I kiss, the person that I kissed will always beg for more and will only refer to the kiss as mind blowing, and you’ve just told me it was nice?” Jin ranted for it chaffed his ego to find that the person that he loves just found his kiss nice
“Can I beg now?” Kazu looked shyly at Jin and judging from the surprised look from older guy he knew that Jin thought he was the lowest of low
“I’m sorry, it’s just that you’re the only kiss that I can remember and it is really quite nice” Kame explained
“Ack Kazu, I’m not making any sense am I? I forgot about that when I kissed you and when it ended…” he was really feeling like a cad now for forgetting that Kazu cannot remember and that Kazu is not one of his many girls who are eager to throw themselves at him
“I also knew it was mind blowing but my mind was not in its right place” Kazu teased
“So can I beg now?” Kazu furthered his teasing for he knew that Jin felt better as his admission
“Baka, I might just take you on it” Jin smiled back, his ego now fully inflated again by what Kazu has just admitted
They walked side by side in the park, occasionally stopping to just admire the place that they were in. The park at this hour is not that busy and only a few children with parents running after them or playing with them on the nearby swings, slides and other recreational structures can be seen. Kazu took up his courage and boldly latching on to Jin’s hand, he was worried that the older guy might not like it, but Jin proved differently as he interlaced their hands and gave Kazu a gentle squeeze and they continued their walking.
This is perfect.
Kazu’s hand is being warmed by Jins’ big hand and the warmth doesn’t just stop there, it reaches all the way to his heart, his soul, his body and mind. Kazu’s mind was showing him glimpses of images and pictures of people that were talking to him, laughing with him, crying about something. He tried to close his eyes and try to remember more what those images were.
- There was an old man crying about something talking to an elderly lady behind the desk and he can see a young boy sitting at the corner, playing a his favorite action figure, he just knew it was him
- White walls with people rushing in and out of the room with clipboards on their hands
- Police, fire trucks and medical people and a lot of other people’s faces looking in on the person being carried in a stretcher
- There was a dark room and voices can be heard and no faces to be seen but he felt someone touching him but he felt powerless to resist, he doesn’t like the way he was being touched
- His laying down on a couch trying to relax, talking to a nice lady that resembles a motherly figure, he was talking and his voice drifts on and off
- Blood, he can see blood, he can taste blood, he can feel the stickiness of it and he was covered in blood
- He can see himself looking out of the window, looking at the other teens outside playing but not for him, he was inside, playing on his own
- And then there was this voice, soothing to him, making him feel happy, he has a brand new radio transistor and he loves it
Kazu may have jerked a little as Jin stopped from walking and is now looking down at Kazu’s face. Jin sure knows that something is bothering Kazu as the younger guy looked really pale to him and the hand that he is holding seems to shake but Jin doesn’t have any idea why, he thought that probably it was a little cold, but they were wearing their winter clothes, some of what Kazu’s wearing was Jin’s old clothes that he can find that fits the younger guy. But now he is not quite sure why Kazu is trembling.
“Kazu, something wrong?” Jin asked
“You look pale, like all the blood has drowned out from you” Jin continued, and when he mentioned the word blood, Kazu instinctively shudders
“I’m fine Jin, thank you, just that when you mentioned the word blood something flashed in my mind but I cannot point a finger on what memory is that, please don’t mind me” Kazu explained and gave his best smile to the other guy looking at him with those worried eyes
They were just about the exit of the park when Jin made a suggestion for them to drop by in a police station just to file a case of missing person or check if someone filed in return for a missing person. Then he lent on that they will surely eat after that trip on which Kazu teased him again on being fat and the images that Kazu remembered where push aside from the younger guys mind and was replaced by this contentment that Jin brought with him.
Kazu though like to hold Jin’s hand but they just stepped outside from the park, and now reality is back again that the society may not approve of what they share, inside the park they can touch, kiss and be intimate with one another and the park for Kazu seems to have shielded them away from prying eyes but now that they are out, he thought of not of himself but of Jin and what people may think of him, he wanted to protect Jin.
After Kazu let go of his hand, Jin thought that the cold air must have picked up as he felt cold and somewhat abandoned. He was thinking that probably inside the park, Kazu granted his advances because no one was looking and they can be themselves, but now here in the open, Jin has this sinking feeling that probably what he thought back there earlier is a little true, that this no amnesia Kazu might be different from this amnesiac guy that Jin loves.
They are just about to cross the street to go to the nearest police station that Jin can think of, when just from across them, in the opposite direction Jin can see an old man dropping in all his groceries and is now pointing a finger to him or so he thought as no one aside from him and Kazu are about to cross. Jin looked at his back and back again to the old Ojisan and he was still at the same stance, pointing at him and with his mouth hanging open. Both Jin and Kazu started crossing the pedestrian when the stoplight turns red and the walk icon turns green, when the Ojisan came out from his stupor and shouted.
“Kazuya!!!”
Both Kazu and Jin froze at that moment, for the Ojisan is now directly at their way. Jin was surprised that the old man shouted the name of Kazu and was about to ask him how he have known the younger guys name when Ojisan grabbed Kazu and placed him in a fierce embrace.
“Kazuya, where have you been, I have been really really worried about you” Ojisan said with tears gathering on his eyes
“Taking off like that, not telling me where you will go” continued by the Ojisan
“Come now, let us go back home, you need to take your medications so you can continue to grow strong” hushed the old man while in the attempt to bend and gather his fallen things.
Jin in all the while that the Ojisan was talking was already gathering the fallen groceries and was really curious to know who the old man is and ask him all his questions but all of those was stopped when he looked at Kazu with his tears streaming down on his eyes and was embracing as fiercely the old man.
Something inside Jin tells him that the old man really knew Kazu and he just want to give the two some privacy before he ask anything, because in Jin’s mind he should make certain that Kazu will be alright and that he will be handed over to the hands of the real relatives and not just some hoax.
“Sir, let me help you on that” Jin said while stuffing all the can goods and other groceries in the paper bag
“Thank you young man, this is such a surprise to me to see my dear grandson that is why I lost my grip on my groceries” Ojisan said
“Are you a friend of my grandson?” Ojisan asked
“Sort of Sir, it’s a long story but I somehow rescued him, can I ask you something please, are you really his grandfather?” asked Jin as he continue to hold the grocery bag in his hands
“I’m sorry if I sounded so disbelieving, just that I want to make sure that Kazu gets to his family” Jin explained and darted a look at the young boy that was earlier was in his arms and now the possibility of their time together seems close to ending
“It’s alright son, and I am happy to know that someone is looking after my dear boy, yes I am his grandpa” to prove that he is, Ojisan took his wallet and showed Jin quite a few pictures of Kazu from his younger days to the most recent where he graduates from Vocational school
Jin while looking at the pictures took a glance at Kazu who also took a look at the pictures, saw Kazu’s eyes widening as if memories from memories are finally flooding his mind that though Jin was happy to know that, he was also feeling a deep depression for he wanted this Kazu to be with him a little longer, selfish as he may sound but he needed him.
“Papa!” exclaimed Kazu, finally recalling the Ojisan
“Oh Kazuya!” Ojisan hugged Kazu again and now giving in to the tears to fall down on his cheeks
“I’m so sorry that I left, sorry for not telling you, for leaving without any note” cried Kazuya
“It’s alright, what matters now is that you are fine and you seem to be unharmed” said Ojisan
“And we must thank this young man for rescuing you, and I must know all the details of how he has rescued you” Ojisan said while looking at Jin
“Come now, Kazuya, let’s go home we must take care of you, young man please forgive this old person for just remembering now, what is your?” smiled by the Ojisan as judging from the look of him he is probably right that he is an old man nearing seventy
“Sir, Akanishi Jin”
“It is really wonderful to know you Akanishi” Ojisan extended his hand and Jin begged the Ojisan to just call him Jin
“Well, then Jin it is, come along son and I must know everything that happened to my boy” Ojisan rushed and patted Jin’s hand and grabbed Kazuya’s waist for a fierce embrace again
They have walked a few blocks from where they have first met and Jin was in deep thought as to the bits and pieces of information that he got from Ojisan when he met Kazu. Medication that the younger boy needs for what? And that it will make him grow stronger, and Jin was puzzled if the younger guy has any special condition. He wanted to ask the Ojisan now but he knows that he must wait till they are at his home so he can get all the informations to answer his questions. Jin can see from the way that the old man his holding Kazu that he cares so much for the younger boy, and that the tears that was shed earlier was real tears of relief and happiness to see Kazu well and unharmed, it was just there is this tingling feel in his mind that something is missing, as to why Kazu would leave and not inform the Ojisan where he will go.
They arrived in a house at what Jin can only describe as more of a tree house than an actual house; the house is sitting atop a flat form with three main steps to climb before really reaching the main door, the house has a protruding tree near the main steps on which based from Jin’s estimate should be part of the building construction holding the beams for support. There was a wide veranda in front and side and Jin feels one hundred percent that the back porch will have it as well. The idyllic house was painted white on the outside and going inside he was not surprised to see that it was white as well inside.
Coming from his apartment where all the colors there are either red, black or gray the whiteness of this small house pleased Jin, he liked the openness of it, the purity that beckons of the white walls and majority of the furniture’s and appliances in the house, the cleanliness of the house without any clutter to see. Jin was motion by Ojisan to go to the right informing him that the kitchen is located there so he can place the groceries that he still clutches. While Ojisan and Kazu went to the opposite side, Jin was thinking that probably that is where the sitting area is located.
The kitchen was such a surprise to Jin as it was a direct opposite of how clean the house was, the kitchen counter was is such a mess that Jin doesn’t know where to place the grocery bag. He spotted an empty chair with only towels, aprons and more towels hanging onto it. And looking around, Jin can see scribbles on papers everywhere, on the magnetized clippings on the refrigerator, on the counters, in the main table. Jin knew that those are Kazu’s scribbles of recipes and standing there, Jin pictured the young guy in his favorite apron, judging from the most stained filled apron it was the yellow ichigo printed apron. The thought that he pictured is again pleasing him, for he knew that Kazu enjoys cooking and Jin knew based from past experience that Kazu is a great cook.
After depositing the grocery bag, Jin followed the Ojisan and Kazu’s direction thinking that he will find both of them sitting catching up or having a cup of tea or something. But Jin was in for another surprise to see that what he thought to be a sitting room turns out to be a replica of what a hospital recovery room looks like. It has the same white wash walls, on the right side of the room is a medical bed that you can manipulate to make the patient sit or lie down, a white chair next to the bed and opposite it was a table and another two chairs probably for any guests coming in also there is a curtain for privacy but it was not drawn out. The window of the room was just on the side of the bed, where you can see the back yard of the house with a view of Ojisan’s little farm of tomatoes, eggplants and strawberries.
Kazu and Ojisan emerged from the small door on the far left of the room, Jin thought that that might be the bathroom or closet of Kazu as when he emerges he was wearing a yellow pajama pair.
“Jin, what do you think of my room?” asked Kazu who gave Jin the most inviting smile that Jin thought of as if a kid showing his most prized possession
“It’s really nice” Jin said but honestly he doesn’t like it as much as he knew that Kazu has a more colorful personality that this white represents, and for Kazu to wear yellow pajama as opposed to his red one is not sitting well with him
Jin is scanning the room to see any personalized decorations but all he can see is those standard medical furniture’s that seem so dull and the only saving grace to this room was that transistor radio at the bed side table of Kazu with multiple colorful stickers on it and a pen and paper, not even a single framed picture was in the room to make it a little less hospital-ish.
“Now Kazu, here are your medicines, please drink them and have your rest, we will soon know all about your adventure when you’ve rested” Ojisan stated while handing Kazu the medicines and a glass of water
“Come Jin, let’s transfer to the other room so that my grandson can rest and I would like to know how you rescued my dear boy” placing the glass at the bedside table Ojisan said then proceeded to walk towards the door
“Jin,,,” whispered Kazu
“Yes” answered Jin and looked at Kazu
“You are not leaving me are you?” Kazu silently asked the older guy
“Baka..” Jin said while walking towards the bed that Kazu is sitting on
“Why would I leave you” Jin said while cupping the face of the younger guy
“I’m just a little afraid that if I fall asleep and wakes up, find you no longer here and I won’t remember” Kazu explained to Jin it was evident that the younger guy needed some assurance that he won’t be gone
“I am not leaving while you are sleeping, I will wait till you wake up and my face will be the first thing that you will see” Jin said
He doesn’t know what possessed him, but he wanted to really soothe the fear that he saw on the younger boys eyes so he lowered his face and captured the lips of the younger guy in what he thought would only be a soft kiss but Kazu opened his mouth and that is all it took for Jin to use his tongue to explore more the mouth of the younger guy. Kazu tasted so good to Jin that he doesn’t seem to stop kissing him till he heard a coughing sound, forcing him back to reality and knowing that Ojisan was just at the doorway and probably looking in on them.
“Is that proof enough that I will stay, coz now that I’ve really tasted you, I want more” Jin promised huskily and judging from the glazed eyes and the slow nod of Kazu his promise soothed his fears away
“Let’s not wait Jin, I want to taste you again” Kazu said with passion written on his face
“I want you fully rested when I taste you again and after that you will beg me to stop” Jin promised and was really looking forward to that time but for now he needs to give Kazu time to rest
“Can I just beg for you to continue” teased Kazu
“Alright that kiss Jin was great let’s repeat that when I wake up” Kazu uttered mischief is written all over the face of the younger guy that drew booming laughter from Jin
Jin was strutting towards the door smiling like a lunatic, remembering the taste of that kiss and how he was so affected by it; he pulled the door behind him and was totally not prepared to what will happen next.
He got punched in the face
Ojisan though look old and feeble but he has a mean right hook, Jin immediately cupped his left jaw as it stings really bad from the old man’s punch. He was just about to look for the old man to see if another punch will be thrown at him when he saw that Ojisan was doubled over and was holding his right hand soothing the pain on it. So it seems to Jin that Ojisan was equally hurt by the punch that he delivered to Jin.
“Sir, are you alright?” asked Jin and it was becoming funny to Jin that he was the one punched in the face but here he was asking the old man if he was alright
“That was for kissing my grandson, and yes the pain is now going away” stated by Ojisan and it now trying to stand up straight again and just cursing for the pain on his back
“Sir, let me explain please” Jin said
“No need to explain, I know who and what you are”
“Sir, it is not what it looks like, please let me explain” Jin pleaded for he doesn’t like to be branded by this old man anything than the person who loves his grandson
“Young man, follow me in the kitchen and let us have that talk” Ojisan said and walked directly straight to the kitchen
Never in all his life had he dreaded that walk towards the kitchen and never had he felt that it was the longest walk he had in his entire life. His mind is now racing to all possibilities of the talk that they will have his what ifs and his fear clouded his mind of anything else. He was thinking of one worst scenario after another, what if Ojisan doesn’t want Jin to see Kazu again, what if Ojisan asked Jin to leave right after their talk and he would no longer be there when Kazu wakes up or what if Ojisan wouldn’t allow Jin to love Kazu, that thought made his heart physically ache.
“Have a seat” Ojisan pointed at the none existent vacant chair so Jin lifted the paper bag that he deposited earlier on that chair and sit on it placing the paper bag next to him
“Sir, please I know you saw me kissing Kazu and I would not say sorry about that because I felt great kissing your grandson and I will do that again anytime I want…” Jin trailed off trying to explain to ease the awkward feeling in the atmosphere his eyes following the old man
“You felt great and you will kiss him again?” asked Ojisan in a higher tone of voice all the while fussing over the tea kettle on the stove and making such noises with the rattling of the cups and saucers
“I will Sir, and even if you don’t like it I will do it, and even if you punch me every time I do that, I will kiss Kazu and I will hug him, cuddle him and always be next to him because I love your grandson Sir!” Jin finished off his explanation and was now just realizing that the old man was actually not frowning or ready to kill him but was looking at him in what Jin can only say as like any other grandfather looking at his grandson with love and deep understanding
“Jin, son when I said that I know who you are and what you are, I do not mean to say that in a bad way” Ojisan said handing Jin his tea on which Jin accepted with a confused look on his face
“Drink up and before I start my explanation, I want you to start yours first, starting off with how you find my grandson” Ojisan said and clearing one chair opposite Jin and taking his leisure sip of his dark brewed tea
Jin is really confused, he was thinking all dark and negative thoughts of how the old man would want him out of Kazu’s life but here he was sipping his tea and the awkward atmosphere seem to disappear and was replaced with a warm feeling of acceptance.
He started his story with how he and his friend Maru almost missed the last train leaving because of him stopping at a convenience store to buy some food. He then proceeded to explain that when he first saw Kazu sleeping on the train he thought that he was drunk who passed out, Jin knew that the old man would only want the truth from him so he mentioned his thoughts on the whole event but leaving the pervee ones aside. He mentioned that he detested anyone who cannot control their drinking habit and he actually decided to leave the sleeping guy on the train but thought better of it by at least carrying him out from the train and leave him on the station when he saw a few dangerous looking people hanging still in the station and being vulnerable like that he took him at his home and wait till he wakes up to offer his assistance.
While Jin was telling his story, Ojisan was just nodding his head and was about to interrupt Jin a few times but closed his mouth and continued nodding his head instead. Jin doesn’t know what to make of that but he was pleased at least the old man is not shouting at him or trying to punch him again.
“It makes perfect sense to me now” stated Ojisan
“It is truly a miracle you have found him but I knew deep in my heart it was destiny playing a hand on this” Ojisan continued and while Jin thought it was a weird comment to say but he is still happy that he can see a glimpse of acceptance with what he has just declared earlier
“You must be thinking that the shock of seeing my grandson again snapped my mind into making those comments, but listen to me and you will also believe in what I have just said” Ojisan said and placed his tea cup down on the empty space at the table and faced Jin
“I will start off my story but please let me finish first and after that, if you have any questions you may ask me” Jin nodded to let the old man know that he understood and gave him his most determined look

They started early that day to find places that will remind Kazu of his memory.
They have revisited the train station and mostly just ride from one point to the other, just letting things flow and from time to time, Jin is asking Kazu if he remembers anything from that station and at almost after he said it the younger guy will shake his head and Jin knows how frustrating that is so he will just nod and smile at the guy.
They have reached the last stop of the train and Jin jokingly told Kazu that their train hoping days are over and when Jin looked at Kazu, he felt like a cad for mentioning that, he thought that Kazu would take it as a joke but from the worried almost tearful expression of the younger guy, Jin knew that it wasn’t bit funny for Kazu.
“I didn’t mean to sound like that, it should have been funny, for me anyways, but I’m sorry Kazu” Jin explained
“It should have been me doing the apologizing Jin, I just can’t seem to recall any” sigh Kazu while he stood up and is being guided by Jin towards the exit door
“I am a burden, right?” Kazu asked while lifting his face up to the older guy that was standing just behind him while waiting for the door to open
Jin thought that he only wants to steady Kazu just in case the train will do an abrupt stop hence he was standing really close to the younger guy, his front is basically plastered at the back of Kazu and when the younger guy lifted his face up to look at him, the worry that he saw on Kazu’s eyes and those luscious lips slightly parted drew his attention most, Jin had the most basic urge to just place a chaste kiss on those lips just cause he feels like doing it and he reasoned as well that he doesn’t like seeing the younger guy worried. He uses his peripherals to scan the cabin and found only another couple busy cuddling on the other side, so he mustered up all his courage and thought heck to all other reasons, he slowly lowered his face to Kazu.
“Jin…” Kazu was just about to asked the older guy if something’s wrong as he can see the intent look on his face when Jin lowered his face to him and he knew what will happen next
Jin only wanted to have a chaste kiss, or just a peck heck just even a linger of lips to lips but when his lips touched the younger guys soft lips, he wanted to throw away that idea and just have a go for a good open mouth lock on. He knew that it only lasted for a few seconds but for Jin it felt like an eternity. Being able to taste the younger guy with just his lips rattled him; no woman had made him fell like that ever, he is now wondering if just in case he got that open mouth kiss that he wished for, what he could be doing now and he sure knows about it.
He will be on top of this younger guy, without any stitch on.
Kazu’s thoughts just flew a million miles away from him and his brain is surely in the puddle of mud division. He thought that Jin just sucked out his ability to think straight though he cannot point a finger on it, his senses are all alert and he felt he can smell something and he can see flashes of white all around him and he can hear voices but cannot point a finger on it. But one thing is for sure, that kiss awakened something in him that he felt was sleeping all this time.
“I’m sorry” Jin husked
“I’m not” Kazu said and smiled up to Jin
Jin knew this guy was different and that he doesn’t mind at all that he is, it was a revelation to him as well. He love women and he will always find fulfillment from them in terms of satisfying this urges and desires. But it was hell of a lot different with Kazu, he felt contented having him around, he felt happy seeing him happy and smiling, he aches to get intimate with him, that never happened to him before with any other girls, he felt very protective of him, he wants to shield him from any harm and now knowing that he is not much of any help with the memory of the younger guy returning, he felt helpless, vulnerable and out of control, things that are never associated with him. But he has decided the moment that he looked at him in the train that he will help Kazu and he never ever back out from his word.
“What do you say if we just roam around and see if your senses can pick up something?” Jin suggested
“That would be nice; do you have anything in mind?” Kazu asked
“I was thinking of eating first” Jin said thinking that he just wanted some more privacy with Kazu before taking the world on
“But we have just eaten before leaving” Kazu said while laughing as it was just a few hours passed since they have eaten their breakfast
“I am a growing boy and this body needs energy” Jin said all the while flexing his body to show off his muscles
“That is not muscle, those are fats” teased Kazu while feeling and touching the older guys’s biceps
“Fat!!!! I am never fat in my life, take it back” Jin said looking appalled
No one dared to call him that and no one will believe he is that.
“I was told not to lie, so I will not lie to you Jin” from the twinkling of Kazu’s eyes Jin knew that Kazu is feeling better and hence he just go along with it
“I will get you and once I get my hands on you, I will make sure you touch all of my body to know for sure that I am not fat” Jin declared and all the while he knew his threat was half meant as knowing his body will be touched by Kazu thrilled him
“You will never catch me and I will not lay a hand on you” Kazu screamed and made a dash outside the train station
Jin felt so happy. He was a little late in running after the younger guy as he was still reveling on this new feeling when Kazu run, so he was a little ahead of him and when Jin catch up with the younger guy he was panting with his breathe and he knew that Kazu will tease him about it. He caught the younger guy when he veered towards the entrance of a park, Jin caught him and put his arms around the younger guys middle and carried him to a nearby park bench to sit. Jin thought of sitting Kazu on the bench then decided against it and he sat down bringing the younger guy on his lap and started tickling Kazu for his payback.
“Now I got you, you’re going to get it, I will attack you” Jin started tickling Kazu all the while the younger guy is sitting on his lap
“Jin, no I’m ticklish” pleaded Kazu trying to blocked the hands of the older guy and laughing till his lungs can’t take any more air and his heart seemed to raced doubly hard by being held like this by Jin and by laughing too much
“Coz you made me run, and you called me fat, I have to punish you, you meanie” Jin said while continuing his assault on the younger boys body, never caring if the on lookers and passersby are both giving them weird, crazy, curious, care free smiles for they are oblivious to their surroundings just the two of them in this attack-defend tickling war.
Jin was not sure how it happened, but when their tickling battle was over as both of them cannot breathe anymore, he came to his senses then and saw that while he was sitting on the bench, Kazu is not straddling him with both of his knees at Jin’s side and Kazu’s face was just inches away from him. Kazu still has this glow from laughing and his eyes are such lovely brown hazel color to him and his lips are just still as luscious waiting to be kissed. Jin noticed that his hands are now splayed at the younger guys hips and Kazu’s hands are rested at Jin’s chest. Anyone looking at them will surely know that they are lovers and had been in this relationship for a long time.
He doesn’t care about them.
He cared only for this moment, this guy and this feeling that he had.
Jin is in love with Kazu.
The realization wasn’t at all surprising to Jin, he knew that he was attracted to Kazu he just put off that thought aside and just believed other reasoning. Now that he was sure of his feeling, one thought intruded his elation, what if Kazu never found out who he really was, it was alright with Jin, he can live with that but the pain and anguish that he saw from the younger guy for not being able to remember tore at his heart and he is not that bad of a person to totally be selfish and not help the younger guy. He vowed he will help him remember again or found out who he was and he will not turn back from that promise. He felt relaxed reinforcing his decision but then another thought intruded in his mind, what if the person that Kazu is when he found out who he truly was is not the same Kazu that he is now, what if he detest this kind of closeness between two guys, Jin cannot stomach thinking that the younger guy being repulsed by his touches, his kisses, his advances, his tickling, his presence, his whole being, Jin was thinking what if.
He just realized that he is in love and as a pessimist that he is on this whole business of falling in love this is all new to him. Didn’t he tell that he never believes in love and that being in a long relationship doesn’t suit him and he never cared enough to be in one? But that is all now changed just because this younger looking guy entered his life and everything is changed.
His preference, his beliefs, his outlook in life and in love and even his very own heart.
“Jin are you alright, did it hurt much being tickled?” Kazu asked his voice whisper soft with a trace of concern on it
“No, baka I’m alright” Jin reassured flashing the younger guy his smile
“It’s just that your face says differently, one moment your smiling the next blink of the eyes you’re scowling” Kazu explained lifting his right hand away from the older guys chest and drawing it to face to smooth the brows of Jin
The touch was feather light and was just only for the briefest of moments yet Jin felt as if the caress was done directly to his soul. He love the feel of Kazu’s fingers on his face, he felt so warm deep inside and he wanted nay needed to have Kazu’s touch all over his body just to have that sense of feeling again.
“I was just thinking that probably, maybe you shouldn’t be straddling me like this in public, coz I cannot guarantee you that I can keep my hands to myself and touch you where you haven’t been touched” Jin teased but knew that given the right place he would have done exactly that
“And I would have let you with all my heart” countered Kazu sassily and was laughing so hard while trying to stand up and in the process he clumsily slipped and his right knee landed in between Jin’s thigh directly into his crotch which Kazu profusely apologize for and was smothering the portion where his knee was at as if swatting the pain away.
Jin literally saw red in pain.
He was not really hurt that bad, but having the younger guys hand touching him there though he has his jeans on, the material prove to be a little barrier against his desire. He was having a hard on just cause of that.
“Stop…” Jin whispered to the younger guys’ ear while taking Kazu’s hands and binding them together
“Kazu you have to stop,,, or else I won’t be able to” Jin finishes and pulled harder on Kazu’s bound hands closer to him so his face was just inches from him, and when he noticed that the younger guy has his apologetic look on his eyes he then kissed Kazu as he was about to open his mouth to utter his apologies. Jin captured the words that the younger guy was supposed to say, it then turned into a sigh and quickly developed into a moan, such purring sounds from the back of his throat that Jin realized he likes. He would have used his tongue to explore more about the younger guys’ mouth but Jin decided that he has given too much already and he doesn’t want to confuse the guy with his advances.
“That was nice, thank you” Kazu stated while looking at Jin’s deep caramel brown eyes glazed with passion
“That’s it, just nice?” Jin asked incredulously
In all his womanizing days, as far as he can remember no girl had the gall to say that his kisses were nice. Normally when he kissed, all the girls’ turns into a jumble bunches of mess that they cannot think straight and normally they will do just about anything else and practically beg him for more. Kazu again proves to be made of entirely different set.
“Uhm, sorry Jin, that’s the first thing that comes to my mind”
“Look here Kazu, whenever I kiss, the person that I kissed will always beg for more and will only refer to the kiss as mind blowing, and you’ve just told me it was nice?” Jin ranted for it chaffed his ego to find that the person that he loves just found his kiss nice
“Can I beg now?” Kazu looked shyly at Jin and judging from the surprised look from older guy he knew that Jin thought he was the lowest of low
“I’m sorry, it’s just that you’re the only kiss that I can remember and it is really quite nice” Kame explained
“Ack Kazu, I’m not making any sense am I? I forgot about that when I kissed you and when it ended…” he was really feeling like a cad now for forgetting that Kazu cannot remember and that Kazu is not one of his many girls who are eager to throw themselves at him
“I also knew it was mind blowing but my mind was not in its right place” Kazu teased
“So can I beg now?” Kazu furthered his teasing for he knew that Jin felt better as his admission
“Baka, I might just take you on it” Jin smiled back, his ego now fully inflated again by what Kazu has just admitted
They walked side by side in the park, occasionally stopping to just admire the place that they were in. The park at this hour is not that busy and only a few children with parents running after them or playing with them on the nearby swings, slides and other recreational structures can be seen. Kazu took up his courage and boldly latching on to Jin’s hand, he was worried that the older guy might not like it, but Jin proved differently as he interlaced their hands and gave Kazu a gentle squeeze and they continued their walking.
This is perfect.
Kazu’s hand is being warmed by Jins’ big hand and the warmth doesn’t just stop there, it reaches all the way to his heart, his soul, his body and mind. Kazu’s mind was showing him glimpses of images and pictures of people that were talking to him, laughing with him, crying about something. He tried to close his eyes and try to remember more what those images were.
- There was an old man crying about something talking to an elderly lady behind the desk and he can see a young boy sitting at the corner, playing a his favorite action figure, he just knew it was him
- White walls with people rushing in and out of the room with clipboards on their hands
- Police, fire trucks and medical people and a lot of other people’s faces looking in on the person being carried in a stretcher
- There was a dark room and voices can be heard and no faces to be seen but he felt someone touching him but he felt powerless to resist, he doesn’t like the way he was being touched
- His laying down on a couch trying to relax, talking to a nice lady that resembles a motherly figure, he was talking and his voice drifts on and off
- Blood, he can see blood, he can taste blood, he can feel the stickiness of it and he was covered in blood
- He can see himself looking out of the window, looking at the other teens outside playing but not for him, he was inside, playing on his own
- And then there was this voice, soothing to him, making him feel happy, he has a brand new radio transistor and he loves it
Kazu may have jerked a little as Jin stopped from walking and is now looking down at Kazu’s face. Jin sure knows that something is bothering Kazu as the younger guy looked really pale to him and the hand that he is holding seems to shake but Jin doesn’t have any idea why, he thought that probably it was a little cold, but they were wearing their winter clothes, some of what Kazu’s wearing was Jin’s old clothes that he can find that fits the younger guy. But now he is not quite sure why Kazu is trembling.
“Kazu, something wrong?” Jin asked
“You look pale, like all the blood has drowned out from you” Jin continued, and when he mentioned the word blood, Kazu instinctively shudders
“I’m fine Jin, thank you, just that when you mentioned the word blood something flashed in my mind but I cannot point a finger on what memory is that, please don’t mind me” Kazu explained and gave his best smile to the other guy looking at him with those worried eyes
They were just about the exit of the park when Jin made a suggestion for them to drop by in a police station just to file a case of missing person or check if someone filed in return for a missing person. Then he lent on that they will surely eat after that trip on which Kazu teased him again on being fat and the images that Kazu remembered where push aside from the younger guys mind and was replaced by this contentment that Jin brought with him.
Kazu though like to hold Jin’s hand but they just stepped outside from the park, and now reality is back again that the society may not approve of what they share, inside the park they can touch, kiss and be intimate with one another and the park for Kazu seems to have shielded them away from prying eyes but now that they are out, he thought of not of himself but of Jin and what people may think of him, he wanted to protect Jin.
After Kazu let go of his hand, Jin thought that the cold air must have picked up as he felt cold and somewhat abandoned. He was thinking that probably inside the park, Kazu granted his advances because no one was looking and they can be themselves, but now here in the open, Jin has this sinking feeling that probably what he thought back there earlier is a little true, that this no amnesia Kazu might be different from this amnesiac guy that Jin loves.
They are just about to cross the street to go to the nearest police station that Jin can think of, when just from across them, in the opposite direction Jin can see an old man dropping in all his groceries and is now pointing a finger to him or so he thought as no one aside from him and Kazu are about to cross. Jin looked at his back and back again to the old Ojisan and he was still at the same stance, pointing at him and with his mouth hanging open. Both Jin and Kazu started crossing the pedestrian when the stoplight turns red and the walk icon turns green, when the Ojisan came out from his stupor and shouted.
“Kazuya!!!”
Both Kazu and Jin froze at that moment, for the Ojisan is now directly at their way. Jin was surprised that the old man shouted the name of Kazu and was about to ask him how he have known the younger guys name when Ojisan grabbed Kazu and placed him in a fierce embrace.
“Kazuya, where have you been, I have been really really worried about you” Ojisan said with tears gathering on his eyes
“Taking off like that, not telling me where you will go” continued by the Ojisan
“Come now, let us go back home, you need to take your medications so you can continue to grow strong” hushed the old man while in the attempt to bend and gather his fallen things.
Jin in all the while that the Ojisan was talking was already gathering the fallen groceries and was really curious to know who the old man is and ask him all his questions but all of those was stopped when he looked at Kazu with his tears streaming down on his eyes and was embracing as fiercely the old man.
Something inside Jin tells him that the old man really knew Kazu and he just want to give the two some privacy before he ask anything, because in Jin’s mind he should make certain that Kazu will be alright and that he will be handed over to the hands of the real relatives and not just some hoax.
“Sir, let me help you on that” Jin said while stuffing all the can goods and other groceries in the paper bag
“Thank you young man, this is such a surprise to me to see my dear grandson that is why I lost my grip on my groceries” Ojisan said
“Are you a friend of my grandson?” Ojisan asked
“Sort of Sir, it’s a long story but I somehow rescued him, can I ask you something please, are you really his grandfather?” asked Jin as he continue to hold the grocery bag in his hands
“I’m sorry if I sounded so disbelieving, just that I want to make sure that Kazu gets to his family” Jin explained and darted a look at the young boy that was earlier was in his arms and now the possibility of their time together seems close to ending
“It’s alright son, and I am happy to know that someone is looking after my dear boy, yes I am his grandpa” to prove that he is, Ojisan took his wallet and showed Jin quite a few pictures of Kazu from his younger days to the most recent where he graduates from Vocational school
Jin while looking at the pictures took a glance at Kazu who also took a look at the pictures, saw Kazu’s eyes widening as if memories from memories are finally flooding his mind that though Jin was happy to know that, he was also feeling a deep depression for he wanted this Kazu to be with him a little longer, selfish as he may sound but he needed him.
“Papa!” exclaimed Kazu, finally recalling the Ojisan
“Oh Kazuya!” Ojisan hugged Kazu again and now giving in to the tears to fall down on his cheeks
“I’m so sorry that I left, sorry for not telling you, for leaving without any note” cried Kazuya
“It’s alright, what matters now is that you are fine and you seem to be unharmed” said Ojisan
“And we must thank this young man for rescuing you, and I must know all the details of how he has rescued you” Ojisan said while looking at Jin
“Come now, Kazuya, let’s go home we must take care of you, young man please forgive this old person for just remembering now, what is your?” smiled by the Ojisan as judging from the look of him he is probably right that he is an old man nearing seventy
“Sir, Akanishi Jin”
“It is really wonderful to know you Akanishi” Ojisan extended his hand and Jin begged the Ojisan to just call him Jin
“Well, then Jin it is, come along son and I must know everything that happened to my boy” Ojisan rushed and patted Jin’s hand and grabbed Kazuya’s waist for a fierce embrace again
They have walked a few blocks from where they have first met and Jin was in deep thought as to the bits and pieces of information that he got from Ojisan when he met Kazu. Medication that the younger boy needs for what? And that it will make him grow stronger, and Jin was puzzled if the younger guy has any special condition. He wanted to ask the Ojisan now but he knows that he must wait till they are at his home so he can get all the informations to answer his questions. Jin can see from the way that the old man his holding Kazu that he cares so much for the younger boy, and that the tears that was shed earlier was real tears of relief and happiness to see Kazu well and unharmed, it was just there is this tingling feel in his mind that something is missing, as to why Kazu would leave and not inform the Ojisan where he will go.
They arrived in a house at what Jin can only describe as more of a tree house than an actual house; the house is sitting atop a flat form with three main steps to climb before really reaching the main door, the house has a protruding tree near the main steps on which based from Jin’s estimate should be part of the building construction holding the beams for support. There was a wide veranda in front and side and Jin feels one hundred percent that the back porch will have it as well. The idyllic house was painted white on the outside and going inside he was not surprised to see that it was white as well inside.
Coming from his apartment where all the colors there are either red, black or gray the whiteness of this small house pleased Jin, he liked the openness of it, the purity that beckons of the white walls and majority of the furniture’s and appliances in the house, the cleanliness of the house without any clutter to see. Jin was motion by Ojisan to go to the right informing him that the kitchen is located there so he can place the groceries that he still clutches. While Ojisan and Kazu went to the opposite side, Jin was thinking that probably that is where the sitting area is located.
The kitchen was such a surprise to Jin as it was a direct opposite of how clean the house was, the kitchen counter was is such a mess that Jin doesn’t know where to place the grocery bag. He spotted an empty chair with only towels, aprons and more towels hanging onto it. And looking around, Jin can see scribbles on papers everywhere, on the magnetized clippings on the refrigerator, on the counters, in the main table. Jin knew that those are Kazu’s scribbles of recipes and standing there, Jin pictured the young guy in his favorite apron, judging from the most stained filled apron it was the yellow ichigo printed apron. The thought that he pictured is again pleasing him, for he knew that Kazu enjoys cooking and Jin knew based from past experience that Kazu is a great cook.
After depositing the grocery bag, Jin followed the Ojisan and Kazu’s direction thinking that he will find both of them sitting catching up or having a cup of tea or something. But Jin was in for another surprise to see that what he thought to be a sitting room turns out to be a replica of what a hospital recovery room looks like. It has the same white wash walls, on the right side of the room is a medical bed that you can manipulate to make the patient sit or lie down, a white chair next to the bed and opposite it was a table and another two chairs probably for any guests coming in also there is a curtain for privacy but it was not drawn out. The window of the room was just on the side of the bed, where you can see the back yard of the house with a view of Ojisan’s little farm of tomatoes, eggplants and strawberries.
Kazu and Ojisan emerged from the small door on the far left of the room, Jin thought that that might be the bathroom or closet of Kazu as when he emerges he was wearing a yellow pajama pair.
“Jin, what do you think of my room?” asked Kazu who gave Jin the most inviting smile that Jin thought of as if a kid showing his most prized possession
“It’s really nice” Jin said but honestly he doesn’t like it as much as he knew that Kazu has a more colorful personality that this white represents, and for Kazu to wear yellow pajama as opposed to his red one is not sitting well with him
Jin is scanning the room to see any personalized decorations but all he can see is those standard medical furniture’s that seem so dull and the only saving grace to this room was that transistor radio at the bed side table of Kazu with multiple colorful stickers on it and a pen and paper, not even a single framed picture was in the room to make it a little less hospital-ish.
“Now Kazu, here are your medicines, please drink them and have your rest, we will soon know all about your adventure when you’ve rested” Ojisan stated while handing Kazu the medicines and a glass of water
“Come Jin, let’s transfer to the other room so that my grandson can rest and I would like to know how you rescued my dear boy” placing the glass at the bedside table Ojisan said then proceeded to walk towards the door
“Jin,,,” whispered Kazu
“Yes” answered Jin and looked at Kazu
“You are not leaving me are you?” Kazu silently asked the older guy
“Baka..” Jin said while walking towards the bed that Kazu is sitting on
“Why would I leave you” Jin said while cupping the face of the younger guy
“I’m just a little afraid that if I fall asleep and wakes up, find you no longer here and I won’t remember” Kazu explained to Jin it was evident that the younger guy needed some assurance that he won’t be gone
“I am not leaving while you are sleeping, I will wait till you wake up and my face will be the first thing that you will see” Jin said
He doesn’t know what possessed him, but he wanted to really soothe the fear that he saw on the younger boys eyes so he lowered his face and captured the lips of the younger guy in what he thought would only be a soft kiss but Kazu opened his mouth and that is all it took for Jin to use his tongue to explore more the mouth of the younger guy. Kazu tasted so good to Jin that he doesn’t seem to stop kissing him till he heard a coughing sound, forcing him back to reality and knowing that Ojisan was just at the doorway and probably looking in on them.
“Is that proof enough that I will stay, coz now that I’ve really tasted you, I want more” Jin promised huskily and judging from the glazed eyes and the slow nod of Kazu his promise soothed his fears away
“Let’s not wait Jin, I want to taste you again” Kazu said with passion written on his face
“I want you fully rested when I taste you again and after that you will beg me to stop” Jin promised and was really looking forward to that time but for now he needs to give Kazu time to rest
“Can I just beg for you to continue” teased Kazu
“Alright that kiss Jin was great let’s repeat that when I wake up” Kazu uttered mischief is written all over the face of the younger guy that drew booming laughter from Jin
Jin was strutting towards the door smiling like a lunatic, remembering the taste of that kiss and how he was so affected by it; he pulled the door behind him and was totally not prepared to what will happen next.
He got punched in the face
Ojisan though look old and feeble but he has a mean right hook, Jin immediately cupped his left jaw as it stings really bad from the old man’s punch. He was just about to look for the old man to see if another punch will be thrown at him when he saw that Ojisan was doubled over and was holding his right hand soothing the pain on it. So it seems to Jin that Ojisan was equally hurt by the punch that he delivered to Jin.
“Sir, are you alright?” asked Jin and it was becoming funny to Jin that he was the one punched in the face but here he was asking the old man if he was alright
“That was for kissing my grandson, and yes the pain is now going away” stated by Ojisan and it now trying to stand up straight again and just cursing for the pain on his back
“Sir, let me explain please” Jin said
“No need to explain, I know who and what you are”
“Sir, it is not what it looks like, please let me explain” Jin pleaded for he doesn’t like to be branded by this old man anything than the person who loves his grandson
“Young man, follow me in the kitchen and let us have that talk” Ojisan said and walked directly straight to the kitchen
Never in all his life had he dreaded that walk towards the kitchen and never had he felt that it was the longest walk he had in his entire life. His mind is now racing to all possibilities of the talk that they will have his what ifs and his fear clouded his mind of anything else. He was thinking of one worst scenario after another, what if Ojisan doesn’t want Jin to see Kazu again, what if Ojisan asked Jin to leave right after their talk and he would no longer be there when Kazu wakes up or what if Ojisan wouldn’t allow Jin to love Kazu, that thought made his heart physically ache.
“Have a seat” Ojisan pointed at the none existent vacant chair so Jin lifted the paper bag that he deposited earlier on that chair and sit on it placing the paper bag next to him
“Sir, please I know you saw me kissing Kazu and I would not say sorry about that because I felt great kissing your grandson and I will do that again anytime I want…” Jin trailed off trying to explain to ease the awkward feeling in the atmosphere his eyes following the old man
“You felt great and you will kiss him again?” asked Ojisan in a higher tone of voice all the while fussing over the tea kettle on the stove and making such noises with the rattling of the cups and saucers
“I will Sir, and even if you don’t like it I will do it, and even if you punch me every time I do that, I will kiss Kazu and I will hug him, cuddle him and always be next to him because I love your grandson Sir!” Jin finished off his explanation and was now just realizing that the old man was actually not frowning or ready to kill him but was looking at him in what Jin can only say as like any other grandfather looking at his grandson with love and deep understanding
“Jin, son when I said that I know who you are and what you are, I do not mean to say that in a bad way” Ojisan said handing Jin his tea on which Jin accepted with a confused look on his face
“Drink up and before I start my explanation, I want you to start yours first, starting off with how you find my grandson” Ojisan said and clearing one chair opposite Jin and taking his leisure sip of his dark brewed tea
Jin is really confused, he was thinking all dark and negative thoughts of how the old man would want him out of Kazu’s life but here he was sipping his tea and the awkward atmosphere seem to disappear and was replaced with a warm feeling of acceptance.
He started his story with how he and his friend Maru almost missed the last train leaving because of him stopping at a convenience store to buy some food. He then proceeded to explain that when he first saw Kazu sleeping on the train he thought that he was drunk who passed out, Jin knew that the old man would only want the truth from him so he mentioned his thoughts on the whole event but leaving the pervee ones aside. He mentioned that he detested anyone who cannot control their drinking habit and he actually decided to leave the sleeping guy on the train but thought better of it by at least carrying him out from the train and leave him on the station when he saw a few dangerous looking people hanging still in the station and being vulnerable like that he took him at his home and wait till he wakes up to offer his assistance.
While Jin was telling his story, Ojisan was just nodding his head and was about to interrupt Jin a few times but closed his mouth and continued nodding his head instead. Jin doesn’t know what to make of that but he was pleased at least the old man is not shouting at him or trying to punch him again.
“It makes perfect sense to me now” stated Ojisan
“It is truly a miracle you have found him but I knew deep in my heart it was destiny playing a hand on this” Ojisan continued and while Jin thought it was a weird comment to say but he is still happy that he can see a glimpse of acceptance with what he has just declared earlier
“You must be thinking that the shock of seeing my grandson again snapped my mind into making those comments, but listen to me and you will also believe in what I have just said” Ojisan said and placed his tea cup down on the empty space at the table and faced Jin
“I will start off my story but please let me finish first and after that, if you have any questions you may ask me” Jin nodded to let the old man know that he understood and gave him his most determined look
