chapter 1 previously:
Aki knew hitsugi like the back of his hand. While there were a few topics that made the guitarist blush (like where else he was pierced) nothing got him more uncomfortable than sex.
But what he didn’t understand-if that was really what was bothering Hitsugi-was why he was embarrassed to talk to him about it. They didn’t have secrets, so all the cards were on the table. They spoke freely and openly about everything. Sure it sounded girly, but Aki was gay and Hitsugi hadn’t gotten any in so long Aki wasn’t sure what he was anymore. But their friendship spanned a decade, definitely no secrets.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Like…Aki knew about Hitsugi’s one and only time with a man and Hitsugi knew all of Aki’s sexual escapades. Not that the bassist bragged, but he had what Hitsugi called the ‘just fucked’ look, even hours after the event. And being his best friend, Hitsugi was also privy to whom Aki took to bed. It never seemed to bother the redhead before.
Except that one time about three months after they’d first met and had gotten to really know each other. Naitomea had started to get known in the underground VK world and Aki had fallen to Zannin’s lure. The man was mysterious and he’d whispered so many beautiful things in Aki’s ears.
Needless to say, Aki had fallen to it, hook, line and sinker.
Unfortunately Zannin had only wanted him for his body. Which Aki understood, sex was sex, but the drummer had thrown in Hitsugi’s face that he had taken Aki’s virginity only to later call Aki a common whore... and Hitsugi almost committed murder.
Aki was downright petrified at the way Hitsugi lunged at Zannin; Ni-ya and Hakuei having had to literally pry the guitarist off Zannin, his knuckles red with Zannin’s blood. Hitsugi had broken the drummer’s nose and a few teeth.
When Aki called his name, trying to see who had taken over sweet Hitsugi’s body…he still felt chills at the murderous look in Hitsugi’s eyes. Once he’d calmed down enough he’d made Sakito choose--Zannin or him; he would not work with that asshole, as he’d called him.
Aki had tried apologizing but Hitsugi ignored him. For what, to this day he didn’t know, but Hitsugi either forgave him or moved on because two weeks after the incident Hitsugi called to apologize to him for his behavior. Aki had never felt more relieved. To this day that event was an unspoken taboo between the Naito members (including Ruka and Hakuei) and Aki.
Aki avoided anything more than a platonic relationship with anyone Hitsugi knew directly or otherwise. He never wanted to see Hitsugi like that again. But because Hitsugi was who he was, he made so many friends easily and Aki could barely get laid as it was. But sleeping with people he had nothing in common with was a huge turn off, so lately he hadn’t even bothered.
Aki hit his head against the fridge door, finally coming back to reality only to notice he’d been standing there like an idiot for quite some time. As he began taking out ingredients for dinner his mind, which had wandered, went back to its original train of thought.
Hitsugi was avoiding him about something having to do with sex. (most likely)
Right.
Avoiding him. The man Hitsugi called a walking pheromone. Aki always thought Hitsugi exaggerated but, if he was honest with himself, he was a little bit of a camera whore (especially when filming PV’s.)
Was he, Aki, finally becoming too much of a slut for Hitsugi? Granted he never kept a partner for more than a few days-his longest relationship had been 1 month long-but he didn’t do it all that often and he wasn’t easy. By the time he’d end a relationship, he’d have a deep knowledge and understanding of his next potential sexual partner, as well as a clean health bill from that person. Kind of like courting while being in a relationship.
And anyways, why should it bother Hitsugi? After that episode with Zannin-Aki thought it was because he’d been deflowered by an asshole and then called a whore that Hitsugi was defending his honor-or something as cheesy, Hitsugi was pretty old fashioned like that) Hitsugi hadn’t shown that he’d cared on way or another about Aki’s sexual…nature (to not say promiscuity).
So then what was wrong with the redhead? Aki was sure it had something to do with him.
As he started dinner and the first spices hit the pan, the aroma filling the kitchen, he began to grow worried. By now Hitsugi was usually already here, leaning over his shoulder, begging to know what Aki was making. The pans were simmering with seasoned Kobe beef and Hitsugi was still missing.
Tonight’s dinner was a bit fancier than usual, but this was no ordinary Saturday night. Their 10th anniversary of having met each other had been on Tuesday but it was only now that they had a break to celebrate. Hitsugi hadn’t been able to make it, but he’d sent Aki a beautiful bouquet of flowers, golden and blue chrysanthemums, it even had a card in it, just to add to the cheesiness. He was teased nonstop by Ruka and Ni-ya and Aki was teased by Yuuya, until the drummer got bored when Aki ignored him. Hitsugi was going to keep getting teased for weeks to come, he was sure. The redhead blushed at everything.
