PART 8

" So now I'm asking you...who do you want?" The guitarist fingers lingered at the curve of Toshiya's cheekbones as he moved closer. He sensed uncertainty in the bassist. Toshiya opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Kaoru's lips, descending gently upon his; this time asking for permission to continue instead of using force. But Toshiya remained still, refusing to give in to the pleasant sensation of the kiss.

" Why should I believe anything you say?" Toshiya asked in after the union of their lips ended. Despite his serious tone, the edges of his lips were curved up mischievously.

" Because I'll never lie to you." With that, he pushed the pretty bassist to the floor, planting light kisses on his face along the way. Toshiya did little to struggle. He wanted Kaoru so much. He had spent so many nights dreaming of this. 

-Kaoru...-

Somehow, Kaoru's hands managed to find their way under his shirt, now roaming across the flat plane of his tummy. Toshiya managed a strangled gasp when Kaoru's fingers teased one nipple into a hard nub. His shirt was soon discarded. Toshiya felt the hard floor underneath him, Kaoru's fingers teasing him, his lips ravishing him, his hair tickling his throat. Most of all he felt Kaoru.

" Unnnh..." Toshiya tugged at Kaoru.

" Yes?"

" The...bedroom...uh..." he managed to say between gasp punctuating from Kaoru's nibbling on his earlobe.

Kaoru smiled and led the bassist up into his arms. They kissed heatedly and felt each other's flushed skin. By the time they reached their destination, both of them all but tumbled on to the bed. The mattress groaned at their combined weight.

" Kaoru..." the bassist mouthed seductively as he slid over Kaoru. His hands moved down to stroke Kaoru's hardening length. Kaoru caught his hands, bringing them to his lips. " Don't play," he warned, sucking and kissing the tips of his slender fingers.

" There has never been another person that I feel for as much as I feel for you," he said as he planted feather-light kisses on Toshiya's jaw line.

" That's true?" he raised his eyebrows in question. 

" Very true." Expertly, Kaoru switched their positions so that he was on top.

" I love you, Toshiya." The bratty side of Toshiya seemed to have disappeared and he started to grow an embarrassing blush which was highlighted more when Kaoru returned to kissing him on his lips. Kaoru smelt faintly of lavender musk, he noted. Willingly, he parted his lips and gasped lightly when he felt Kaoru's tongue slide in to explore the warm cavern. The guitarist ran his tongue along Toshiya's cute set of crooked teeth. 

Kaoru hands fumbled a little with the buckle of Toshiya's pants but managed to remove it and continued to slide the garment off Toshiya. Toshiya cried out at the friction when the rough cloth rubbed against his arousal. Kaoru's own followed eventually. Toshiya writhed with pleasure beneath Kaoru and twirled the strands of pink hair around his finger to pull Kaoru's head down to his chest. Toshiya closed his eyes at the pleasure as Kaoru's mouth closed over a nipple. The sensation of his wet lips tasting his skin was overwhelming.

" Kaoru, please..." Toshiya begged the older man to give him release.

" Patience," Kaoru whispered huskily into his ear even as his finger ran down Toshiya's length.

" Ah!" 

Sweat beaded his forehead as Kaoru reached behind Toshiya's inner thigh. Toshiya bucked in surprise when Kaoru pushed a finger into him. He opened his legs instinctively even as Kaoru inserted the second finger in. Finally, unable to hold out any longer, Kaoru entered him. Toshiya screamed both in pain and pleasure at the violation. The screaming thinned down to quiet gasps and moans as Kaoru started thrusting into him.

" Unnnh..." he bit his lips, his slim smooth legs closed around older man's waist as he dug his nails into his back, wanting the man to go deeper into him although the pain, mingled with pleasure, was already intense. Toshiya screamed as Kaoru made one final thrust, releasing his seed in him. 

After descending from what felt like heaven, they lay intertwined with each other, both reluctant to let go.

" I love you, Kaoru. I love you very very much." He hugged his new lover tighter who returned the favor by stroking his hair. It was still dark. Hours would pass before the break of dawn. Yet, exhausted, Toshiya fell asleep, brandishing in the security he felt by being in the arms of the one he longed for.

"Aishiteru, Toshiya," Kaoru heard himself muttering those exact words before sleep claimed him.

Die staggered out of the taxi, frowning as he took out a note to pay the annoyed cab driver. Not waiting for the driver to dig out the coins for his change, he headed for his apartment block. He pulled the overcoat tighter around himself when the night breeze decided to pick up. Crisp, dried leaves, waltzed across the empty street, dancing in the winter's early morning. 

Die squinted at the lobby's bright lighting and squinted his eyes further when he saw the figure standing outside the lift. 

-I must have drunk more than I thought I did,-he thought to himself as he walked to press the 'Up' button before looking sideways.

Shinya was standing there, dressed in a black jacket; his hair pulled away from his face with a rubber band.

" What are you doing here at this hour?" Die asked after he decided that the person in front of him was not a hallucination, his tone harsher than necessary. After all, he was still a bit angry at him. The pretty drummer didn't reply. The lift arrived with a muffled 'ding' before the door slid open. Die was about to leave him there when he saw Shinya looking dejected. And Die's anger melted like an iceberg under the hot desert sun.

" What are you waiting for?" Die asked. Shinya took a moment to look up at him before stepping quietly into the lift, avoiding eye contact with the other man.

-This is not working,-Shinya told himself mentally and the sentence chanted itself in his head as the two of them entered Die's apartment.

" Here, have some tea," Die shoved a mug with steaming green tea into Shinya's hands before leaning back onto the cushion himself. The tea had helped sober him up a little.

" Die, I..." he frowned. He really didn't know how to say it but he knew he had to. "I remember now," he said softly, looking at Die who was sipping his tea casually.

" You do now, huh?" He didn't look up from his cup.

Shinya nodded.

" So???" Die placed his mug on the table and crossed his legs, obviously waiting for an answer. Shinya was speechless. How can he ask me that? The silence hummed on in the company of both men. 

" I want to give us a chance," Shinya finally said what he came here to say, blushing after the words left his lips. Afraid that Die might have meant last night to be a one-night-stand, he cast his eyes down and bit his lips. Maybe Die didn't like him and was just angry because he had accused him of rape. Dread crept into him. 

Die wore an amused look on his face, trying very hard not to start laughing as he asked, " A chance to do what?" Shinya looked at him in disbelief. This guy has nerve! 

Fighting the urge to turn around and run away rather than humiliate himself further, Shinya stood up and walked over to where Die was sitting. Not believing what he was about to do, the drummer settled himself on Die's crossed legs. He saw surprise flash across the guitarist's distinct features before he pressed his lips to his. The kiss was gentle yet passionate at the same time. 

" Don't make this hard for me, Die. I..." Shinya stopped, unable to carry on as he choked on a sob. Die's eyes widened as fresh tears sprang from Shinya's eyes to roll down the pale cheeks and he immediately chided himself for being so insensitive.

" Shinya, don't cry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry. Shhh..." Die hugged him close, feeling the hitched breathing against his chest. The younger man continued crying. The tears didn't cease until Shinya ran out of strength to keep on crying. He just slumped in Die's arms, letting the other man's presence comfort him. 

Die used his palm to wipe off the tears. Shinya jerked back in pain when Die touched the left cheek where he had slapped him earlier on. Now that he looked closer, he could see the slightly bruised flesh.

" Does it hurt bad?" Shinya shook his head. Die held his chin in one hand while the other traced the outline of his cheekbone. He planted a string of light kisses on it. Shinya pushed him away, laughing softly.

" It doesn't make it feel better, you know," he said, now less depressed after crying.

" Ah? It doesn't? Gee, I wonder what should I do to make it feel better..." Die grinned as he slowly pushed Shinya down onto the couch and started showering kisses on his face and neck. 

" Die! Stop!" Shinya giggled at the ticklish feeling but the giggles soon dissolved into faint moaning.

10.30 a.m.

Toshiya awakened to a very bright morning. He turned to hug his lover but found nothing but crumpled blanket. Getting a little annoyed, typical of him, he got up and slipped into a light blue robe. Stretching his long arms, he padded to the kitchen.

" Kaoru?" Kaoru was sitting at the dining table with the daily papers in his hands.

" Good morning. I was wondering if you'd ever get up," he put down the papers to reveal that he had felt at home enough to dig through Toshiya's cupboards for instant noodles and coffee mix.

" Why didn't you stay in bed?" Toshiya decided not to get angry and wrapped himself around Kaoru from behind. " I missed you."

" It's very late, you know. We have practice at..." he glanced at the clock. "...our practice started an hour ago." 

" I don't wanna go for practice. I'm so tired," Toshiya whined like a ten-year-old kid and let go of the guitarist. 

" Why don't we call in sick?" Toshiya kissed Kaoru sweetly on the cheek and Kaoru managed to sigh in resignation when Toshiya dragged him back to the bedroom.

***
The winter's morning sun shone upon another pair of lovers, warming them up to a new day.

Shinya opened his eyes to a similar day as the day before. But this time, he felt no need to rise and scream at whoever it was next to him. Instead, he curled up closer against his lover, enjoying the warmth of his body. Die twitched but did not wake up and for that Shinya was glad. He spent a few minutes absorbing every detail of Die's face, from the high forehead to the strong chin. Then he touched his finger to Die's parted lips and felt the air being inhaled and exhaled. Resting his head on the guitarist's chest, he smiled contentedly.

11.45 a.m.

Kyo twisted the door knob but it stubbornly stayed locked. He knew he was late but he thought somebody would have at least came earlier. He checked his wristwatch. He was three hours and fifteen minutes late. So how come he's waiting here? Practice can't be over so soon, he told himself as he tried the door again. Damn!

Now just where was everybody???
