Amber Flame

Amber Flame

Summary: The burn of passion knows many forms: cute, kind, ugly, and even painful. Which will Taichi find and will it be met with a similar passion?

Author’s Note:First Prince of tennis fic. I really like Akutsu.

When you look at someone you love doesn’t your heart feel like it’s trying to jump out of your chest? Don’t you have the sweet burn of passion worming its way through your chest?

I do. It happens when I look at him.

Him.

My Akutsu.

I didn’t mean for it to happen. No one does. And when one speaks of these things, it really isn’t anyone’s fault.

I see the things he does and they’re wrong to be sure. No one should be blatantly assaulted that way, but…

It’s just the way he is and if I can accept it…surely everyone else can.

I lie awake at night dreaming of his mouth on mine, crushing me down into my bed, those strong hands gripping my thighs until I bruise. I want to suffocate under him. I want those amber eyes to be the last thing I see before the sweet bliss of our mixed pleasure.

Lying here now, my body jerks. I want him now. I always do in the night. My fingers are slick with sweat and twisted in the sheets as I try not to do that thing. I won’t. Somehow I think that’d he think of me less if he knew I was doing that because of him –but oh how I want to.

My hips jerk and my body does it anyway. I just gasp against the pillows and giggle. I know you like my body, you’d lick me up and down, kiss me and tell my I’m precious or cute.

Or at best call me something dirty.

Hee. I like it when you’re dirty to me.

I mean, you will be dirty to me. I know you’re that kind of guy, but I know also that…that you’re a gentle kind of guy. I mean…you’ve always been nice to me and…well not nice, tolerant, tolerant of me and even if I know you’re mad, you’d never hit me.

Not…too hard anyway. I hope.

Akutsu! Akutsu!

I curl up in fright as there’s a knock at the door.

“Dan-chan…it’s time to get up. You’ll be late. Your friend is already waiting for you.”

I nod to myself and call to her. “Okay Kaa-san.”

I hear her leave and get up. I wonder “which” friend it is this time? He may act all carefree and kind…but Ku-kun keeps a tight leash on me even though…

Even though I haven’t been with anyone or haven’t been doing anything. I think he knew…he knows I have a crush on him. My Akutsu. And was so happy when he left.

I get up and decide I don’t want to keep whoever it is waiting. I have to shower and get dressed but I’m pretty quick at that. Or haven’t gotten quicker since…since Ku-kun tried to get at me in the shower.

It’s not that he isn’t cute…I just don’t want to be getting lucky with him or anyone else anytime soon. Not until…

One day…one day it’ll be my Akutsu waiting for me. He’ll free me from –

The door came open just then and he was there.

“Hey. I was waiting…” He came over and lifted my chin, glancing over my shirtless form. “Hm…lucky, getting to see you like this. Won’t you say good morning to me?”

He bent to give me a kiss but I turned my head. He laughed and sighed.

“Saving it for Akutsu hm?” Then he smacked me across the face. “Let’s go Good for Nothing. Don’t want to be late for morning practice.”

I rubbed my face and grabbed a shirt. I got my head band and put it on, making a nasty face at Ku-kun’s back. I don’t care if he’s a senpai. He’s nothing like my Akutsu.

Nothing.

And one day he’ll know that…but for now –

“I said hurry up you brat!” He calls.

I belong to Sengoku.

Aren’t I lucky.

*Hello hello. Schwarzwald here. Jumping fandoms again, but I promise this’ll finish. I give it four chapters then it’s over. You know I wanted to key in Taka for this, but I haven’t got too much of a clue as how to write him.
*I hope you enjoyed this first piece. I think I’ll do some one shots…probably more fluffy than citrus.
*Thank you! Please review!
