NO REST FOR EXAMS
CHAPTER TWO - FABRICS

"Jin, honey? Are you not in there?" A small knock awoke him suddenly.

"Mother?" He sat up looking around, this was his room.
//How did I get here?//

"Yes." She opened the door a crack. "Mitscher is taking me to the doctor's for this months check
ups, I shall return in a week. Mugen has been so wonderful, his two week trial period is done, he
is staying with us. I told him to take this week to finally unpack all his things...he said you two
went out last night."

Jin froze.
//He wouldn't have...//

"...I will call when we are settled in the city."

"All right, fare well." He sighed, thinking how much his Mother loved going out. "Mugen..." He
widened his eyes remembering what happened.
//That's right...Where is he?//

He scurried to his feet searching for his shoes. Not taking time to note the disheveled look of his
hair, or lack of glasses. Quickly he began his way down the halls and to the main lobby.
//Why am I in such a hurry?//
He subconsciously slowed his pace.

"Escuse me, Shinichiro-san, have you seen Mugen-kun?"

"Oh, he's actually in the dojo...Looking for you..."

"Arigatou."

- - - - -

"There you are." Jin skidded to a stop, trying as hard as he could not to smile.

"Hey, I was wondering where you were. You look kinda rough, everything okay?" Mugen stood
from his seat on the floor.

"I am fine." He sighed, taking to note he was out of breath.

"I've never seen you without glasses...You look better that way."

"Mother said you were unpacking and moving in completely this week..." He tried to change the
subject.

"That will take all of three hours, not days." Mugen laughed. "I got a whole week to waste."

"Please escuse me, I will be back. I must change." Jin bowed slightly walking towards the back of
the dojo.

//This I gotta see...//
Mugen licked his lips and did his best ninja walk to the small hallway. With suprising stealth he
managed to get a clear view by peeking over a small desk.

Jin quickly removed his gi, folding it neatly to the side. Untying the hakama and letting them drop
to the floor. Mugen felt his breath catch as he remembered how sweet the pale one tasted last
night. He settled into a black set of hakama and gi. Stepping back into his zorri, gathering up the
blue pants. The pale form stopped briefly to fix his hair before walking back to the door.

Mugen rushed over to his previous spot to fawn being interested in a certain character on the large
scroll.

"Forgive my being unprepared. I do not usually sleep in so long." Jin returned.
//Act a little more unresponsible...//

"No problem." Mugen admired the way the black material brought out his pale flesh. Making his
ebony hair even more enticing.

"Is that all you ever wear?"

Jin adverted his eyes, a nervous laugh escaping. "Yes. I am usually in the dojo, it is practical I
suppose. Sorry."

"No, no, it's cute."

//Cute?//
Jin blinked, before beginning to walk towards the door.

"Where you going?"

"To help you unpack." He didn't turn around.

Mugen smiled before getting to his feet and following.

- - - - -

"What is this?" Jin held up a large stuffed crab. It looked like it had many charms hanging from
it’s claw.

"Ah, that's from one of my friends. I know kinda cheesy, but it's a good luck charm."

"It is not cheesy, as you say. It is commendable that they like you enough to give a gift."

"He's been there for me a lot, for a really long time. Kinda an ass, but it grows on you.”

"Mugen..." Jin looked down at the floor nervously, subconciously hugging the crab.

"Huh?" He raised an eyebrow to the unusual tone.

"Do you find me...strange?"

"No, why do you think that?" The amount of hurt the tan one picked up in his voice scared him.

"You are so different. You know so many things, have so many friends and passions. I am nothing
but plain and stereotypical compared to that."

"You're anything but stereotypical. You're polite, and use words I've never thought to use," He
laughed. "You just need to be around more people, then you can see how special you are."

"Mugen, the way you made me feel last night. I have never experienced anything like that before."
His face began to heat with a soft pink. "It truly was life altering. I realized...I am like you, I like
men as well."

"Are you sure you mean that? Or do you mean you just liked the feeling?"

"I mean...I like you." He looked away, blush in full effect now.
//You sound ridiculous.//

Mugen smiled kneeling down to be eye level, with the slightly startled man.
"Heh, I like you too." He leaned in softly to kiss the pale lips.

This time it was nearly silent and they had a shut door. He marveled in the sounds of the pale ones
hitched breathing.

"You're the most amazing thing I've ever seen, Jin." Mugen kissed the delicate nose gently.

Jin didn't have a response, other than opening his mouth to allow the tongue entrance. He wrapped
his arms timidly around the firm shoulders, melting into the deep kiss. Everytime the tan one
sucked on his tongue it made his heart skip a beat. Slowly Mugen pushed the thin legs outward a
bit, to settle between them. Reaching his hands up to let the dark hair free.

"What?" Jin opened his eyes as the kiss stopped.

"You should let your hair down more often, it's breathtaking..." Mugen returned to kissing, this
time tasting the thin milky neck in view.

The pale form bit his lip as tan hands slid his gi open, ghosting over the already firm nipples.

"...Mugen..." He sighed, leaning back on his elbows.

Mugen stood pulling Jin and himself up more on the bed, so they could lay comfortably. Opening
the gi fully so he could begin kissing a trail down the androgynous stomach.

Jin's breathing increased as familiar hands began untying his hakama.

"A-are you...?"

"Just like last night..."

Jin took a deep breath as the cold air hit his heated flesh, face soon matching it in temperature.
Then wet slickness surrounded him and his whole soul jumped.

"Uh!..." He bucked up, as tan hands softly held the hips in place. "Ohh..."

//He's so fucking sexy.//
Mugen speed up his tongues teasing, feeling the organ twitch inside his mouth. Jin reached down
and grabbed the sheets tightly. He was amazed at how fast he was approaching. Pehaps due to
thinking about it all morning. Clenching his eyes shut as the same wave of warmth flowed from
him as before.

"M-mugen..." He sighed feeling himself melt into the bed, as Mugen continued to massage each
drop of life from him. He mumbled as the tan one pulled back, flicking his tongue over the heated
tip.

"Happy you liked it." He crawled up to face the panting beauty under him.

"W-what about you? I want to make you feel this way..." Jin ran his hand through the unruly hair.

"If you want to. I'm not forcing you."
//Fuck yes!//

"I want to Mugen..." Jin nodded before struggling with Mugen's shorts.

In a few short moment's he had them free enough to slide them and the boxers down. Mugen
hissed as the fabric rubbed across his full excitement.

"I just use my mouth right?" Jin looked up a little timid.
//You’ve never done this before...//

"Uh huh." Mugen nodded. It was all he could do to keep from grabbing the hair and forcing him
down.

Jin let his tongue caress the head gently, testing it; Mugen sighed leaning back on his hands. Pale
fingers encircled most of it shakily, while he traced the tip over his soft lips. Running his tongue
over it occasionally.

"Fuck..." Mugen moaned, leg twitching slightly.

//I suppose I am doing it correctly.//
Jin smiled slightly, taking a little more into his mouth. He felt so many feelings while doing this.
Most of which were filled with lustful craving, but a million others were involved. Mugen placed
his hand lightly on the back of his head; guiding Jin a little, as well as turning them both on.

//I want him to pull my hair...//
Jin blushed deeper at his own strange request. Quickly shaking it from what he was sure was his
now insane mind.

"Jin..." Mugen gasped tightening his grip a little, making the other man moan.
The tan one knew he was about to climax. Just looking down to see the soft lips taking him in...

He began panting heavy before he spilled erratically into the unsuspecting mouth. Jin did his best
to swallow, but most ran down the sides of his mouth, sputtering. The pale one pulled back
slightly, coughing.

"Wow..." Mugen let out a deep breath, sitting up. He smiled as Jin crawled up to lay next to him.

"Really?" He looked a little embarrassed, wiping his mouth with the back of his sleeve.

"Mmm...really." He rolled over kissing the pale one off guard.

The two remained in the lazy kiss for a few moments before resting quietly. Jin laying his head on
Mugen's chest.

"Will you be my boyfriend, Jin?" Mugen reached a hand up to play with the black locks.

"Yes." He didn't have to think twice.
//I love you so much, you have no idea.//
He sighed placing an arm across the toned surface.

"I never expected this..."

"I thought I would die alone here."

Mugen tightened his arm around the shaking form. "Don't worry about that anymore. So, what do
you feel like doing tonight?" Mugen looked down into the shiny eyes.

"I do not know...As long as it is with you, I do not mind."

"You're crazy." Mugen laughed some leaning in to take the soft lips. "I love the way you talk."
The tan one pulled back from the sweet kiss.

"You are better at planning than I."

"I got an idea...Do you even own regular clothes?"

"Huh?"

"I mean." He sat up smiling at the confused form. "Something other than that karate stuff."

Jin frowned a little. "It is Kendo....mujushin-kenjutsu."

"I'm sorry babe." Mugen kissed him again. "Do you, or is this all you wear?"

"I suppose, I do not really own anything else. Other than formal things..." He looked down
nervously.
//It must appear stupid to someone who is unfamiliar...//

"Let's go find you something a little less outdated, ne?"

"Do you not like this?" Jin sat up, looking away.

"No, no. I love it. I just want to see you in something else, understand?" The tan one crawled over
and wrapped his arms around Jin's shoulders.

"Fine. But if I look stupid it is your fault." He tried to smile through his apprehension.

"Trust me, you could never look stupid..." Mugen kissed his pale neck one more time, before
getting off the bed.

- - - - -

"I cannot do it...please do not make me..." Jin's voice sighed from behind the dressing room door.

"Aww, c'mon I bet you look hot. Just let me see once, you don't have to get it."

"Other people will see me..."

"No, they won't. Here I'm blocking you from view, just show me once, please?" Mugen smiled
evilly.

The door squeaked a little and Jin stepped out with the speed of a hitokiri.

"Nice..." Mugen remarked gazing heavily at the blushing form.

The tan one had picked out a somewhat tight pair of black leather pants, and a thin little black
tank. To him, Jin looked like some sort of sexy spy, or ninja.
//Come interrogate me baby...//

"It is so awkward...May I take it off, please?" Jin rubbed his bare arms nervously.

"Why, you look so damn good? Turn around, please?" Mugen swirled his hand for effect.

Jin reluctantly obeyed spinning slowly.
//He is crazy.//

"You can take it off if you want, but I think you should keep it."

"That is all right." He cleared his throat, quickly entering the small room again.

"Here, try this..." Mugen handed another stack of clothing over the door.

"...heavy..."

"Just try it." Mugen was certain this was the most fun he ever had buying clothes. This was about
the tenth outfit he made the pale one try on.

"This will never work...Why do you keep trying to put me in leather? Is this even a shirt?" Jin was
struggling with something metallic.

"You're so cute in it. Just show me."

"Fine..." Jin sighed opening the door.

This time it was a very wide leg pair of leather pants. With many silver chains criss crossing them.
The top was black and see-thru, with long sleeves.

"Now you know..." Mugen almost squealed approaching him.

"I look ridiculous..." Jin was sure his face could feel no hotter; as he covered it with his hands,
leaning forward.

"Shh...Let me kiss you." Mugen softly removed the hands, wrapping his arms around the pale
shoulders.

"Now?!" Jin couldn't protest when the silky tongue ghosted over his bottom lip. "Mugen..." He
sighed allowing the other man to do as he pleased.

"Um...Here's the jeans you asked for..." A short woman with green dreadlocks approached,
smiling.

"Shit...here Jin, try these on, and this." Mugen took the items from the clerk.

It took a few seconds for the shock of being seen to wear off, before he blinked and took the
items. Returning to the changing room.

"Cute boyfriend..." The clerk winked before walking off.

"I know..." Mugen returned his eyes to the small red velvet door.

"Okay, this is not that bad."

"Kinda like what you usually wear, just updated a few hundred years."

"All right, do not laugh..." Jin stepped out again, placing his hands to his sides.

"That's so cute!"

"You think so?" He pulled the sleeves down over his hands.

It was a dark black pair of Jnco's and a navy hoody of the same fabric.

"Well, you could put on the tight pants again..."

"No." He laughed. " I will go with this..." Smiling, not wanting to think about leather ever again.

"All right."

- - - - -

"Why do you always want to see this type of thing?" Jin covered his eyes yet again.

This time Mugen decided The Devil's Rejects was a nice choice to round the night out.

"I like gore, eh? Why do you always try not to see it?"

"I am not fond of blood, or screaming."

"Yet you're a swordsman?"

"No." He sat up looking at Mugen in the eye. "The age of true swordsmen is over. Now all we
can do is learn from their mistakes and try to honor their deaths and sacrifices by mastering their
skills. Taking joy in blood is taking joy in unnessicary battle or bloodshed."

"You are so fucking hot when you're serious..."

"I am not joking. Those kind of things mean a lot to me. I know you like blood, I am simply
verifying my reasons for not liking it. You do not have to make everything sexual." Jin shifted in
his seat, looking blankly at the screen.

"I'm sorry, that's so hard around you. You're just so damn beautiful."

"Thank you Mugen" He said in a monotone voice, still staring forward. "I am not mad, no reason
to be sorry. I simply wish for you to be more serious sometimes."

"You need to loosen the fuck up. You're not held to some code from an ancient time, you can
live."

Jin looked down at his hands. "I am sorry...It is hard to adjust. I feel so out of place...but I want to
be with you."

"Where's this coming from?" Mugen put his arm around Jin, who leaned over onto him more.

"Forgive my rambling..."
//Shut up...do not be whiny.//

"No, you wanted me to listen, so talk..." Mugen began to play with the shiny black ponytail in
reach.

"I feel like you could only want me for...certain things. I appreciate everything you have done, but
I do nothing in return. I have no idea what you are speaking about most of the time...What else
could you possibly want from me?"

"Do you have any idea how many people were checking you out in that mall? Not only are you
gorgeous, but you're sweet, and talented. Intelligent...I'm sorry if it seems like I only want to
touch you, but I can't help it. My last boyfriend was so much better looking than me and he
flaunted it everywhere...You're not like that..."

"Mugen..." Jin sat up, looking at him.

"I can't believe someone as beautiful as you would even give me the time of day."

"I am so sorry. I...love you Mugen. No one has ever spoken to me the way you do. I do not want
to think about you ever not being here..."

"I love you too...For way more than one reason, so don't worry, okay? And you fit in fine..." He
kissed the pale forehead briefly.

"Thank you."

- - - - -

"I see what you mean, the blood really was not that good." Jin spoke as the two entered the house.

"You actually seen the ending this time."

"Heh..."

"Jin? Can we sleep together tonight? I mean in the same bed...We don't have to do anything...No
one's here now."

The pale one paused briefly, closing his eyes, tense. "I do not see why not."
//Do not mess this up.//

"Good...I've wanted to do it since that first night we went out. I felt bad for leaving you alone that
night."

"It is all right. Come on, it is this way."

- - - - -

"You know, your room is kinda plain..." Mugen sat on the double bed looking around. "Like a
hotel with swords."

"I am rarely in here."

"Oh. You need more pictures or something."

"Here, you can sleep in this..." Jin chucked the tan one a plain white robe.

"Thanks." Mugen took off his red hoody and began removing his pants.

"You are changing right there?" Jin blushed.

"Yeah, why the hell not?"

"Nevermind." Jin turned removing his own top.

"Mmm...you know, I've yet to see you naked."

"So?" He hurriedly put on the blue yukata, letting his pants drop to the floor.

"What would I have to do, to get to see that?"

"I thought you said we did not have to DO anything?" Jin sighed, setting his clothes to the side.
Walking over to pick up Mugen's ramshackle pile.

"Sorry..."

"No, I am. I am tired."

Mugen scooted to one side as Jin sat on the bed.

"You okay?" Mugen sat behind him, slowly beginning to rub his shoulders.

"Mmm hmm. This is all so much, you know?"

"What all is so much?"

"This. The touching, going out, the clothes...The last few days feel like a blur."

"You'll get use to it."

"If you do not mind...I would like to just lay with you for a while. Would that be okay?" Jin
placed his hand on top of Mugen's.

"Sure. If things feel too fast just let me know...All right?"

The pale one nodded. The two moved slightly, into a comfortable position. Jin placing his head on
Mugen's chest again.

"I love you Jin, I'm not trying to overwhelm you."

"I know, I love you too. Tomorrow we can be spontaneous. Right now...I am so tired..."

"Heh, you don't plan spontaneity."

"Goodnight Mugen."

"Night angel."

The tan one continued to stare at the sleeping face, committing every millimeter of it to memory.
//Please don't let me ruin this relationship too...//
He sighed before closing his eyes.

END CHAPTER TWO

((Thanks for the reviews and people saying it wasn't horrible. ^_^U When I was writing this I kept
thinking, 'I must be bored, this is pointless and weird.' But like many things in my life I kept on
going with it. Sorry if that was short, it was a good spot to break at. The next chapter is long, so I
tried to keep this one separate. A couple of days before I wrote this originally, I was doing
random sketches. One of them was of Jin in different items of clothing. I know, I have no life, and
possible OCD ^_^U That is perhaps what inspired this chapter in the first place, heh. About the
OOCness: They may seem weird now, but in later chapters a few more familiar traits will be
revealed. ^_^ Domo!))
