Summary: Set a few years on from the anime/ manga, hormones have really started kicking in and leads to an interesting predicament. And why best things really do come in threes!


Shigure grinned happily,

“That was a good meal. I suggest we all take a stroll outside now.” Most of the others nodded. Shigure stood up, stretching slightly. “Are you coming Aya?” The dog looked down at the snake, who looked back at him with large amber eyes.

“Of course ‘Gure. I can’t resist taking you for walkies.” Hatori sighed; those two were never going to grow up. Everyone got up and made their way out of the house and into the sunshine. A pair of purple eyes watched them go.

“I couldn’t wait for them to leave.” Haru whispered in Yuki’s ear, making the rat jump. He hadn’t realised that the cow had crawled over to sit next to him. Yuki turned to face him.

“Why is that Haru?” It was a pointless question he already knew the answer to, but he wanted to hear it anyway. The cow smiled,

“So that I could be next to you, so I could do this.” His hand wound its way around Yuki’s head and pulled him into a kiss. When he finally let go Yuki was breathless again.

“I couldn’t wait either.” He panted. Haru looked at him almost darkly,

“Show me how much you couldn’t wait.” Purple eyes looked calculatingly at him for a moment before Yuki closed the gap between them. Both of his hands ran through the black and white hair. His lips met Haru’s firmly and his tongue eagerly slid across the cow’s lips begging entrance to his warm mouth, which he granted. Yuki’s hands slid down from their grasp in Haru’s hair to wander across his shoulders and rest against his chest. Haru wrapped his arms around Yuki’s shoulders. The rat pushed himself into Haru’s embrace so hard that the cow fell back, taking Yuki with him. It didn’t stop the rat from kissing him; in fact it encouraged it. Yuki pressed his body against Haru’s not sure what he wanted but knew he needed it. Haru moaned into the kiss, feeling Yuki’s firm body pushed against him, especially the hard length that was digging into his thigh. Common sense managed to claw its way back into his mind before the idea of ravishing Yuki on the floor took over. He pulled Yuki away from the kiss. Purple eyes looked down at him confused. Haru wanted to continue their activities right then, the rat looked beautifully tousled and the glow in his cheeks and the lust in his eyes made him look completely… fuckable. Haru chided his mind for that comment… Even if it was true.

“What… did I do something wrong?” Yuki’s voice wavered feeling self-conscious all of a sudden. Haru smiled warmly,

“Not at all, sweet heart. I just don’t think the others would care to see any of our actions if they walked back in now, would they?” Yuki gave a frustrated groan,

“I don’t care.” Haru raised an eyebrow,

“You would if they caught us. Shigure would never let us live it down, not to mention Tohru… or even your brother.” That did it. Yuki sat back up.

“I’m sorry Haru. I didn’t mean to get carried away.” He looked thoroughly upset now. Haru gave a warm smile and sat up beside his stunning boyfriend. He placed a hand on the rat’s cheek and turned his face to his again. He leant forwards so their noses were almost touching. The lust was still evident in the deep purple pools.

“Just because we can’t do anything here doesn’t mean we have to stop.” He raised his eyes to the ceiling. Yuki looked up then smiled. Haru stood then offered a hand to Yuki and the other took it. The cow led him upstairs to Yuki’s room.

Kyo was curled up on his bed, scowling. He couldn’t believe he was jealous of Haru. He hated the damn rat! Yuki was nothing but a pretty boy everyone fawned over, everyone, which happened to include himself, he realised. He thumped his pillow. He did not like Yuki. No… he loved him. The realisation hit the cat hard. He lay still with his eyes wide open. When had he fallen in love with the damn rat? He wasn’t sure. ‘But he’s not yours is he’ his mind decided to remind him. The cow had got there first. Kyo knew Haru had had feelings for Yuki since he had met him. The question that Haru had asked him earlier came back to his mind,

“Perhaps you need a girlfriend? Boyfriend then?” He remembered how he had stuttered like an idiot. Now he understood why. Kyo did want a boyfriend, not just any boyfriend either. He wanted Yuki. Now it was too late for that. Once again the cat had been left behind. Once again the cat had missed out. Kyo could feel his heart almost break. He didn’t know whether to hate or love Yuki. He suddenly became aware that his pillow was wet. He touched his cheeks and realised he was crying. He pulled his knees up until he lay in a foetal position, and then did something he very rarely allowed. He let the tears fall freely.

The rat and the cow didn’t hear the cat’s muffled sobs as they went past his room; they were too engrossed in each other. They closed and locked Yuki’s door behind them. Yuki got pushed up against the door as Haru kissed him.

“Are you sure you want this Yuki?” Haru pulled away, he was breathing heavily. He looked down into his purple eyes. Yuki looked back into misty grey.

“I want you so much Haru…I… just don’t know what to do.” He looked away a little ashamed. Haru ran his thumb across the pale cheek.

“We don’t have to…”

“I want to.” Yuki seemed very eager despite the nerves.

“How about we take this one step at a time. Until you are ready for it.” The rat looked uncertain at first but then nodded. They had come so far already it made sense to take things a little slower. Haru smiled gently then grew serious as he studied the rat’s face. Yuki looked at him but had to ask,

“Haru, what are you doing?”

“Memorising your face in case I wake up.” Yuki smiled at that.

“You won’t wake up.” He told the cow firmly before drawing him back for a kiss. Mouths locked and tongues fought for dominance, Haru’s won. Hands roamed over firm muscles, Haru’s fingers found Yuki’s tie and loosened it before tackling the buttons on the shirt. The cow felt like ripping the damn thing off of Yuki but restrained himself. He settled on trailing kisses down Yuki’s pale neck instead while he continued with the buttons. Yuki rested his head against the door and closed his eyes. He moaned quietly as Haru kissed him. The cow had finally managed to undo the shirt and pulled the tie apart. An idea flicked across his mind of what he could do with that tie but he put it to one side for the time being. He ran his tongue across Yuki’s collarbone and smirked when the rat shivered slightly. He quickly glanced at him; his face seemed calm at the moment. He knew that was going to change. He lowered his head and darted his tongue out and licked at a dusky nipple.

“Ahhh…oh…Haru.” Yuki’s back arched towards the cow. Haru concentrated on teasing the sensitive flesh. Yuki managed to slip the shirt off as Haru moved to the other nipple but teased the first with his fingers. Yuki ran his hands through the black and white hair, low moans still escaping his throat. Haru pulled away to look at the flustered Yuki. Yuki looked at him through hazy eyes. He moved towards the cow, his hand running down Haru’s chest until he found the hem of the black top. He looked up at Haru in a silent request. Haru nodded. As he lifted the fabric he ran his fingers across the tight muscles at the same time. Haru pulled the top over his head. When they transformed, Yuki paid more attention to getting dressed rather than see what the others looked like. He now wished he had looked, Haru was gorgeous; he made the rat’s heart skip a beat.

“Like what you see?” Haru asked seeing the look on Yuki’s face. Yuki’s gaze drifted back up to meet dark grey, he nodded. “Good.” Their lips met again. Haru dragged Yuki away from the door and further into the room. Yuki felt himself being pushed backwards until the backs of his knees came into contact with something. Haru looked down at him with a smirk before gently pushing the rat. Yuki fell backwards to land softly on his bed. He stared up at Haru who was watching him with a predatory gleam in his eyes. The cow climbed on the bed beside his lover.

For moments they both looked at each other. Then Yuki trailed his fingers down Haru’s chest. Haru hissed slightly and closed his eyes. Yuki took the chance and pushed Haru over onto his back and straddled the cow’s hips. Haru looked up at him slightly shocked.

“Surprised?” Yuki whispered by Haru’s ear. Grey eyes looked at him,

“Yes and no. I didn’t think you would be this assertive but then again you’re not exactly a pushover.”

“Do you like it?” The question sounded a little tentative.

“I love the idea that you would be on top sometimes,” He grabbed Yuki’s wrists then flipped him off and reversed their positions, “But I think for this time I’ll be on top.” Yuki didn’t argue this point as Haru took his lips again. He sighed into the kiss and raised his hips, rubbing their erections together causing even more pleasure. Yuki broke from the kiss to moan loudly. Haru couldn’t help but smirk, seeing Yuki writhe beneath him so wantonly was better than anything he had dreamed. He trailed his hands down the skin stretched out before him, teasing the nipples as they passed. His fingers caressed around the waistband of his trousers. His hand slipped further and he teased the hardened length hidden by the fabric. Yuki arched beneath him,

“Oh Haru…” His eyes were wide as he cried out. All he could see was Haru smiling above him, but god he looked sexy. “Haru please…” He couldn’t help but beg. Haru leaned forward but continued his teasing,

“What do you want Yuki? Tell me.” The rat continued to squirm beneath him,

“I want… I wa…ohhhh…I…” Haru grinned evilly as he rubbed a little harder. He couldn’t help it. Yuki was a lot louder than he thought he would be, and damn, it was making him horny.

“Come on, you can tell me.”

“I want you, please Haru…pl…please.” The rat moaned out. Haru relented by starting to undo the regulation college trousers. Haru grinned, Yuki had always looked good in uniforms but taking it off and revealing the skin beneath was so much better. Yuki was panting heavily below him and his eyes were calmly closed. The cow tugged at the material. Yuki lifted his hips to let Haru slip his trousers and underwear off. Haru stood over him and looked down upon him. Yuki blushed shyly. He knew Haru had seen him naked but he had never looked at him like that before. Haru sighed,

“You are beautiful, my Yuki.” The rat looked up with a smile; everything was good if Haru thought he was beautiful. “I love you Yuki Sohma.” The rat was speechless at this simple statement before Haru ran his long fingers across his straining flesh. Yuki jumped into the touch, his mouth opening in a silent moan. Haru smiled then slid off the bed and settled himself in front of Yuki. His hand curled around the hard flesh and slowly pumped it. Yuki’s hands fisted into the sheets below him,

“Oh fuck, Haru!” The cow nearly stopped in shock. Did Yuki just swear? He didn’t think he’d ever heard Yuki swear. He couldn’t help but smirk. Well at least he was shouting obscenities for a good reason. He watched the beautiful young man writhing below him because of a simple touch. If he had been asked a few days before that he would have been in this position now he would have probably laughed or turned black and pounded the questioner. He thought he would have only seen this moment in his dreams. A strange look crossed his face; if Yuki had seen it he would possibly have run. As said rat had his eyes closed with pleasure, the look was unnoticed. It was a look that meant the cow was up to something. He kept his grey eyes on Yuki and slowly lowered his mouth. Yuki’s eyes shot open and he partially sat up to see Haru’s dark eyes twinkling at him, his mouth wrapped around his cock. He moaned. Haru released him.

“Relax Yuki.” Yuki stared at him unbelievingly. “What?”

“How can I relax when you’re doing that to me?” Haru looked slightly worried,

“Why, don’t you like it?”

“I love it, but I can’t exactly relax though.” He gave a slight smile. Haru smiled back,

“Fair enough, just enjoy it then.” He gave a cheeky grin. Yuki watched him as he lowered his lips again. He couldn’t believe how sexy Haru looked like this. He cried out again as Haru lapped at the head of his length. He found his arms were shaking with the effort of holding himself up. He let himself fall back. His hands found their way to Haru’s head and fisted into the white hair. Haru licked and sucked on the velvet hardness before him, revelling in the moment. This was Yuki he was doing this to. The rat he had loved since he had met him. The pent up anger he had held for Yuki before he had known him had quickly vanished. And now… now they were lovers. It was the best day of his life. He licked down the length then back up then licked across the sensitive head. Yuki arching and releasing some more colourful expletives, rewarded him for his efforts. Haru was glad everyone was out of the house; he would never have thought Yuki would be so vocal. Not that he minded of course, he could tell that he was doing the right things. He took the engorged flesh into his mouth as far as he could without gagging.

“Ohhhh, fuck, Haru…I’m… shit, bollocks…. come… Haru gonna…” Haru smiled carefully around his mouthful. He pulled back slightly but kept sucking. Yuki shook beneath him as he released into Haru’s waiting mouth. He swallowed the warm, salty liquid then lapped up the remnants that had escaped. He lay back down on the bed, next to his prone boyfriend. His grey hair was all messy and clung to his face, which instead of being pale like snow was flushed like a rose. His eyes were closed and he was still panting. Haru watched him with a calm smile. Anything he had thought about Yuki being beautiful was quickly forgotten. He had never seen Yuki as beautiful as he was now. And only he, Hatsuharu Sohma, had seen him like this. Pride welled up in his chest. He reached over and brushed the hair back off the rosy face. Yuki slowly opened his eyes and looked across to his lover. He didn’t say anything but smiled gently. Haru gazed into the large, glazed, purple eyes and he could read everything in them, thanks, happiness and… love? That look stirred something in Haru, he realised he was still painfully hard. He winced slightly. Yuki looked at him with panic. Haru glanced down at his groin and indicated the prominent bulge. He looked apologetic.

“Before you say anything, don’t worry.” Yuki’s voice sounded timid and slightly throaty,

“I’ll help… if you want me to.” The cow looked across at him.

“Of course you can.” He was surprised that Yuki would want to.

“I just don’t know what to do.” Haru smiled at this. He forgot that Yuki was still learning.

“Yuki, have you ever pleasured yourself, you know, with your hand?” He wasn’t sure what answer he would get. Yuki never really seemed that way inclined. Surprisingly the rat nodded shyly. “That’s a good start, we’ll begin there.”

“But I want to do to you what you did to me.” He sounded a little disappointed. Haru moved over to him and wrapped an arm around him.

“You’re learning, give it time. Soon I assure you.” The rat nodded at this. Haru stood to take his trousers off but before he could even get to the belt Yuki was beside him and undoing it. His fingers fumbled slightly. Haru wasn’t sure if it was from nerves or from his climax. Yuki finally managed to get into the cow’s trousers although he had thought about getting something like a tin opener. Haru normally wore tight trousers but with a serious hard on, it nearly made the material impossible to get into. He slid the tight fabric down allowing Haru’s erection to spring free. The cow stepped out of the confines of his trousers, allowing Yuki to see him naked apart from the various pieces of jewellery that remained on. Yuki stepped back then stared at him in wonder. Haru was the epitome of man in Yuki’s mind. Over the years Haru had grown a lot taller and was now one of, if not the tallest Sohma. His muscles had built up from consistent training; he trained far more than Yuki. Yet he was not overbuilt. His skin was still pale but now had a pink flush spread across his form. Yuki noted the muscled thighs in particular, strengthened from all the kicks he practiced. His brain took a moment to think of the uses the cow could put those muscles to. He blushed again. His glance also took in Haru’s straining erection. It was slightly longer than his own and he wasn’t exactly small. Yuki had a vague idea of what happened during sex, that idea made him cringe slightly. But he trusted Haru, with his life if necessary. He knew he wouldn’t hurt him. Haru’s eyes looked clouded,

“Yuki, touch me, please.” He was almost begging. Yuki closed the space between them. He raised his head and met Haru’s lips. Haru wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and lover holding him close. He was glad black Haru was well tucked away; as if he’d been present he wouldn’t have been able to restrain himself and taken Yuki right now. He felt so good against him, warm and soft. Yuki’s hands toyed across his shoulders and chest, brushing against his nipples. Haru moaned into Yuki’s mouth. The rat broke the kiss and smiled seductively up at the taller man. “Tease.” Haru growled out. It seemed Yuki was a fast learner. He was going to have no problems here. Yuki ran his fingers over the rippled abdomen then found what he was searching for. He wrapped his delicate fingers around the burning flesh. Haru hissed loudly. Yuki looked up to make sure he was doing the right thing. Haru nodded and placed his own hand over Yuki’s to help. He guided Yuki at first until the rat found a rhythm. Haru moaned and threw his head back.

“So good, Yuki.” Yuki watched in wonder as he pleasured Haru, he would have never thought he could do this. The cow looked back down at him, his eyes dark, “Harder Yuki, make me come for you.” Yuki tightened his grasp slightly and pumped a little harder, “Yes, that’s it.” Haru managed to gasp. Yuki smiled as he leant forwards and began licking at a nipple. Haru tensed, he knew he was close now, and damn that felt good. Yuki looked up through his lashes and saw the pleasure written over Haru’s face. He had one idea left. He lowered his free hand and found Haru’s balls. He stroked them carefully. For the cow it was all he needed. He cried out loudly as he found his release. He came hard covering himself and Yuki’s hand. He slumped against Yuki, panting heavily. Yuki raised his hand and studied the white substance coating it.

“Did I… did I do it right?” He asked quietly. Haru stood upright and looked down at his boyfriend. He cupped the rat’s cheek.

“Of course, I’ve never had better. You are a fast learner, Yuki.” The rat smiled shyly. Haru leant in for a gentle kiss. “Come on, let’s rest for a bit.” Haru grabbed a tissue and wiped Yuki’s hand and himself then led him over to the bed. He lay down and patted the bed beside him. Yuki nodded then slid into the bed next to him. Haru wrapped his arms around him and pulled the covers up. Yuki snuggled into the embrace and sighed happily.

Kyo stopped crying as soon as he heard voices. He slowed his breathing so he could listen. It was Haru and Yuki. What were they doing here? Could he not grieve in peace? He kept listening to the conversation on the other side of the wall. Damn Shigure for having such thin walls. His breath hitched in his throat. Did he just hear that? He could have sworn Yuki just moaned. He held his breath. For a while there was some mumbling and then…

“Oh…god…” They couldn’t be… they wouldn’t, would they? But Yuki’s moans permeated the walls again. Kyo moaned with him. He shut his eyes tightly. This wasn’t fair. Not only would he have to put up with the fact that he could not have the rat but he would have to endure the sounds of the pair of them making out! And yet… Another moan. Kyo gritted his teeth. He let his hand wander down the front of his trousers. He could feel his hardness through the fabric. The touch sent shivers through him. “Damn you Yuki.” The cat ground out. He couldn’t help himself; the rat moaning like that was so… erotic. If he couldn’t have Yuki himself, he would take what he could get. He palmed himself through the material, the friction just wasn’t enough. He undid his trousers and freed his cock. He closed his eyes, focusing on the sounds from Yuki’s room. Wrapping his hand around his hot organ and slowly started pumping. He heard Yuki reach his climax; it was one of the sexiest sounds he’d ever heard. But he wasn’t there, it wasn’t enough, but he couldn’t stop, it was too far for that. Then he heard Haru. Normally that voice would frustrate him, but today had been different. Haru had taken him seriously for once and he seemed like he cared about the cat. But now that voice helped him in another way. He pumped his hand harder. He could feel his end. He was so close. Haru came. Just a bit more, he needed more. He pictured Yuki and Haru together, kissing, touching, and imagining what Haru had done to make Yuki cry out like that. “Oh… oh… Haru…Yuki!” He called out as he hit his climax, his semen coating his hand and stomach. He slumped tiredly into his bed. He hadn’t come that hard for a long time. He knew he had had a thing for Yuki but Haru? The picture of them together though did things to his mind. He thought he was going crazy. He grabbed a tissue from his bedside table and cleaned up, then curled back into the bed.

Haru had a strange smile on his face and Yuki was in a state of shock. Neither of them had realised the cat had been in his room and both of them had been shocked when they had heard Kyo calling out both their names.

“Yuki, are you alright?” Haru asked his startled boyfriend.

“I… I had no idea that Kyo was that way inclined. I don’t know what to think now. I thought he hated me.” His voice was quiet. Haru looked down at him and brushed a stray hair from his cheek.

“He doesn’t hate you. I think there’s something else there and he’s been fighting it by fighting you. I believe our bad tempered hairball is in love.” Yuki nearly choked,

“L…love!”

“Are you surprised?” The cow sighed, “Honestly I need to bang your heads together. I think you care about him too.” Yuki didn’t meet his eyes.

“I love you Haru.” The cow turned Yuki’s head,

“But you care about him too? You are allowed to you know. I don’t mind. I know you’re mine. How about we let the moggie join in some time?” Yuki sat upright and stared down at his lover.

“Ky…Kyo…here?” Haru gave a seductive grin,

“Why not? Black certainly wouldn’t mind, he’d think it was kinky.”

“You sure you’re not black now?” Yuki asked a little hesitantly. The cow nodded. “I…I don’t know.”

“Go on Yuki, I know you want to. Don’t worry; we’ll make the cat uke. I’ll take seme.” Yuki thought about this a minute,

“But that means…” Haru winked.
