Part Three
"Hi-Hiro..." Taisuke blinked as he held the door open, not expecting the person in front of him at all.
Kitayama grinned and walked past Taisuke into his house, kicking off his shoes. "Tai-chan, I don't think it's a good idea to keep your door open for too long."
Taisuke snapped out of his daze. "Oh...right." Just as he was about to close the door, he couldn't help but glance out the door once more, hoping that the male in his mind would pop out of no where.
"I'm sure he'll come later."
Turning around, Taisuke looked surprised at Kitayama. "Hiro...?"
Kitayama said, "I'm sure Wataru would come later. He stayed behind to talk to the instructor." He smiled gently. "Probably to get pointers to help you catch up."
A light blush appeared on Taisuke's face. "...oh." He closed the door behind him and joined Kitayama in walking down the short hallway. "What are you doing here, Hiro?"
Rolling his eyes, Kitayama said, "Of course to visit you, baka. We were all surprised to hear you take a day-off. It's rare of you." He turned to Taisuke. "You're not sick or anything, right?"
Taisuke shook his head. "No. I just...wasn't sleeping well." Kitayama gave him a look and Taisuke ducked his head.
"Ah, it's Kitayama-kun." They both turned towards the new voice. "You've come to visit Taisuke?"
Nodding his head, Kitayama smiled at Taisuke's mother. "Fujigaya-san." He inclined his head. "Hai. I'm just here to check if he's slacking off for no reason."
"Hiro!"
Kitayama laughed. "Just joking. I know you won't do that."
The woman smiled. "Kitayama-kun, you and Taisuke can go up to his room. I'll bring up some snacks and drinks a in a bit."
"Ah no, it's fine..."
"I insist." She pointed at Taisuke. "He didn't anything for lunch yet anyways. He needs the food. Give me a few minutes. I'll prepare something really quick." With that, she disappeared back into the kitchen.
Kitayama turned and raised an eyebrow. "You didn't eat anything?"
"I ate breakfast with Yamashita-kun and Koki-kun," Taisuke protested weakly. "Then I came home and just rested..."
Snorting, Kitayama said, "I'm pretty sure you didn't rest at all. Your face doesn't look well-rested at all."
Taisuke pouted. "Mou, Hiro..."
"Hai hai. We're going up to your room now." Pushing Taisuke forward, the two of them headed up to the younger one's room. Kitayama pulled out the chair at Taisuke's desk and sat down, while Taisuke sat on his bed. "You said you ate breakfast with Yamashita-kun and Koki-kun?"
Nodding his head, Taisuke diverted his eyes from Kitayama for a second before answering, "I...I bumped into them and then fell asleep on them while I waiting for Wataru...so they took care of me."
"Waiting for Wataru?" Kitayama raised an eyebrow. "Did something..."
Suddenly, a knock interrupted their talk. "Taisuke, Kitayama-kun, I brought the snacks." After Taisuke telling her to come in, she opened the door, carrying a tray. "Here. I re-heated the yakitori from last night. After that, you can eat some dango with Kitayama-kun, ne. Of course, and I brought tea."
Taisuke smiled softly at his mother. "Sankyuu, Okaasan."
She smiled back. "No problem. Now you guys, take your time to socialize. I'll be downstairs if you need me for anything."
After Kitayama thanked Taisuke's mother, they started to eat and drink, making small talk in between. It wasn't until Taisuke stopped eating that Kitayama put down his cup and stared straight into the other's eyes. "I think you can talk now, right Tai-chan?"
"T-talk about what?" Taisuke stared down at the empty plate, placing his own cup down as well.
"Don't pretend you don't know." Kitayama stood up from the chair and sat beside Taisuke, making the other look at him. "I want to know what happened last night."
Taisuke tried to shift away and mumbled, "Nothing happened, Hiro..."
Placing his fingers under Taisuke's chin, Kitayama made the other look at him. "Tai-chan, stop lying. Wataru did something, didn't he?" he growled softly.
"Wa-Wataru didn't do anything!"
Sighing with frustration, Kitayama pushed Taisuke down on his bed and straddled him. "Stop making me worried, Tai-chan!" He leaned in closer. "If you won't confess to Wataru, then forget your feelings about him! If you continue to be like this, Wataru will just continue to hurt you without realizing it, and you'll be making things hard for yourself..."
Taisuke stared up at Kitayama, his eyebrows slightly furrowed together. "I know...but Hiro," he raised a hand and touched the other's cheek, "I can't help it. I...I don't want to forget about Wataru, even though it hurts." He bit down on his lip, feeling his eyes getting glassy. "I can't..."
Kitayama cursed silently and leaned further down, pressing his lips against Taisuke's. He kissed roughly at first, but quickly turned it into a gentler kiss. He trailed his fingers across Taisuke's cheek and traced the other's bottom lip with his tongue.
Whimpering softly into the kiss, Taisuke wrapped his arms around Kitayama's neck and parted his lips. He let Kitayama explore his cavern as he twirled his fingers into Kitayama's soft strands. When Kitayama started caressing his tongue, he pushed back, tilting his head upwards.
Soon, Kitayama broke off the kiss and started to press kisses down Taisuke's neck. He slipped one hand under Taisuke's shirt and ghosted his cool hand over the soft skin.
"Nhhh...Hi-Hiro..." Taisuke cocked his head to one side to expose more of his skin to the other. He moaned softly when the other began to nibble and lick his skin. He arched into Kitayama’s touch and slipped his own hand under Kitayama's shirt.
Now latching his lips on to Taisuke's collarbone, Kitayama pressed his hand flat against Taisuke's stomach before sliding it upwards and brushing it against the other's nipples.
Taisuke moaned softly and curled his fingers against Kitayama's back as he felt the other pinch his nipples.
"Don't leave scratches on me," Kitayama murmured against Taisuke's skin. "I don't anyone think I have a violent, abusive girlfriend."
"Sh-Shut up, Hiro." Taisuke whimpered as Kitayama continued his ministrations on him.
Kitayama lifted himself slightly off Taisuke and pulled off the younger one's shirt before taking off his own as well. Pressing their bodies together, moaning at the feel of skin on skin, he gave another kiss Taisuke. Feeling their hardness brush against each other through the material of their jeans, Kitayama grinded his hips downwards, eliciting a moan from Taisuke's lips.
Trailing his hand down Taisuke's chest, Kitayama stopped at the other's belt. "Taisuke, can I...?"
Taisuke fluttered his eyes opened and looked at Kitayama. He shook his head before giving the older one an apologetic look.
Kitayama smiled and pressed a kiss on the corner of Taisuke's lips. "It's okay..." Shifting his body, he started to grind against Taisuke once more as he kissed the other.
The kiss swallowing all his moans and whimpers, Taisuke arched his back and rolled his hips back against Kitayama's. Trailing one hand across Kitayama's back, he tangled his other hand into the other's hair. He could feel the pool of heat in his gut growing more and more unbearable as the friction continued.
Soon, Taisuke started to tug on Kitayama's hair. Kitayama, who understood the signal, started to grind harder against the other and nibbled on Taisuke's earlobe.
A half-strangled cry escaped from Taisuke's lips as he felt himself coming. Kitayama bit down on Taisuke's earlobe and soon came as well. His breathing was erratic as he collapsed on top of Taisuke, breathing beside his neck.
They stayed like that for a while, breathing heavily with saying anything to each other. Finally, when the stickiness inside his pants got too uncomfortable, Taisuke shifted which made Kitayama sit up.
Kitayama looked at Taisuke. "You should go clean up..." He stood from the bed. "You go in the washroom, I'll stay here."
Taisuke nodded and got up, grabbing a clean pair of boxers from his drawer before heading to the washroom across the hallway. Entering, Taisuke locked the door behind him. He stared into the mirror and bit down on his lip as he saw the light red marks Kitayama had left on his skin. They were probably going to fade by tomorrow, but they were reminders of what he had done with the other. He brushed his fingers across the marks and sighed again.
He eyed the cupboard, where he knew he had hid a piece of sharp section of an exact-o-knife. Taisuke shook his head. Taking a deep breath, he started to clean himself, changing out of the dirtied boxers.
Suddenly, Taisuke heard Kitayama's voice from the other side of the door. "Tai-chan?"
"Hm?"
"Um...I'll need a pair of boxers too..."
Taisuke smiled, chuckling lightly. "You can take back the pair you left here last time. You'll see it in my drawer."
Kitayama said, "Alright. Thanks."
Once he was finished cleaning up, Taisuke went back into his room and found Kitayama sitting on his chair, playing with his cellphone. He lowered his eyes for a bit before looking at Kitayama. "I'm sorry for making you worried, Hiro..."
Looking up, Kitayama just smiled. He put away his phone and walked up to Taisuke. "You don't have to say sorry. Just remember I'm here for you ne." He tippy-toed and pressed a kiss on Taisuke's forehead. "Now, you should get some more rest." Walking behind Taisuke, he started to push the other towards the bed. "You'll need enough energy for tomorrow's rehearsal."
"Hai." Letting Kitayama push him, Taisuke slipped under the covers and smiled when Kitayama tucked him in. "Arigatou, Hiro," he whispered as he closed his eyes.
"You're welcome, Tai-chan."
Kitayama just knelt by Taisuke's bed and watched the other slept. Once he was sure the other wouldn't wake up suddenly, he sat gingerly on the edge of the bed and started to stroke Taisuke's hair.
"Tai-chan," he murmured. "When will you notice...?"
When a knock was heard, Kitayama looked up and stopped the movement of his hand. He stood up and walked towards the door, not wanting to wake up Taisuke. He opened the door and was surprised to see who he found on the other side. "Wataru?"
Yokoo smiled sheepishly at Kitayama. "Yo, Hiro."
"Why are..." Kitayama looked back when he heard the bedsheets shifting. It doesn't seem like Taisuke was waking up though. He turned back to Yokoo and pressed a finger against his lips. He slipped out of the room and closed the door quietly behind him. "Tai-chan's asleep," he said and motioned Yokoo to go downstairs.
Following Kitayama, Yokoo said, "I met Tai-chan's mom just outside the door. She was about to go out to the convenience store to buy something when I was about to press the bell. She said you were here too and told me to come straight up."
"Oh." Kitayama nodded his head. "What took you so long? I would have expected you to come here sooner. Asking for tips didn't take that long, did it?"
Yokoo looked away slightly. "I...had something to take care of first."
Kitayama raised an eyebrow. "Ah sou..." Reaching the ground floor, he asked, "You want something to drink?"
Yokoo shook his head. "No. It's fine."
As Kitayama sat down on the couch, Yokoo joined him. "You mind answering a few questions then?"
"What questions?" Yokoo looked at Kitayama curiously.
Kitayama turned to look at Yokoo and gave the other a serious look. "Did something happen last night?"
Yokoo blinked. "Eh? Last night? No...I don't think so..."
"How did Tai-chan end up sleeping on Yamashita-kun and Koki-kun then?" Kitayama narrowed his eyes and watched Yokoo’s every movement.
Shifting on the couch, Yokoo said, "I...I had to take care of s-something. So I told Tai-chan to go ahead to the station first. I guess that's when he met Yamashita-kun and Koki-kun..."
"Take care of something," Kitayama repeated after Yokoo. "How come I always hear that from you lately?" He frowned. "Are you hiding something?"
Yokoo quickly shook his head. "No. Of course not. It's just not very interesting to mention in detail."
"Ah sou..."
Leaning back on the couch, Yokoo said, "I'm worried about Tai-chan though. It seems like he hasn't been sleeping well at all lately. I mean...to be tired to the point that he'll fall asleep anywhere...what if he hits his head or something? Yamashita-kun and Koki-kun won't be there to catch him every time."
Kitayama bit on his lip to refrain from commenting. He doubted Taisuke would appreciate it. "Hm...I don't know...it's not like we can stalk every night and make sure he'll sleep properly."
"I'll do that if the situation continues." Yokoo looked determined.
Trying not to slap his own forehead, Kitayama just yelled in his mind, 'You'll make it worse!' Swallowing and taking a deep breath, he said, "I don't think Tai-chan would like that..."
Yokoo frowned. "Well, then he should stop making us worried."
'You're the reason he's making me worried about him!' Kitayama shook his head inwardly, trying to stop all the comments in his mind. Why did he have this urge to punch Yokoo? "You try convincing him then..." he said.
Nodding his head, Yokoo said, "I'll try. He's been acting weird around me sometimes though lately... I think he missed some of my calls on purpose..."
"Maybe he was busy?"
"I don't think so..."
Kitayama rolled his eyes. If he wasn't sure how Taisuke would react, he would have punched Yokoo by now and yell the truth at his face. Why was this guy who was so smart at school so oblivious and stupid when it comes to Taisuke? "Do you want to go up to see him then? Though I'm not sure I should let you go alone..."
Yokoo raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "And why not? It's not like I'll molest Tai-chan. He's a boy."
Kitayama was glad that Taisuke was asleep upstairs. Even though the other might not have meant to hurt intentionally, Taisuke would definitely feel depressed or something like that over those words. "Fine, fine. Go up by yourself then. I don't know if Tai-chan will wake up though..."
Smiling, Yokoo said, "It's okay. I just want to make sure he's alright anyways." He started to head upstairs when he turned towards Kitayama. "You're not coming?"
The other shook his head. "It's fine. You go up. I'll entertain myself watching the television for a while."
"Okay."
Once he arrived upstairs, Yokoo opened the door to Taisuke's room gently and peeked in. The other was still asleep. He slipped in quietly and tentatively sat down on the edge of the bed, watching Taisuke sleep. Glad to see the other seemed to be fine, he smiled and reached out to stroke Taisuke's hair.
"I'm glad you're alright, Tai-chan," Yokoo murmured softly. "Yokatta..."
Author's Note: You know...for a protagonist's love interest, Yokoo has so little screen time at the moment. Compared to Hiro...XDDD;; Do I get loved for the HiroSuke interaction? I bet that most of you are rooting for this fic to end with HiroSuke now...
Anyways...I finally figured out the whole storyline!~ //keeps everything secret// At least I know where everything is going now~
I kinda rushed this chapter. D= Hope it's still okay...~
I forgot what else I have to say again. X3;;
Comments are love~
