Kaede awoke groggily to a soft hand caressing his hips and stomach. Blinking, he looked around the room, his eyes settling on the person touching him.

\"Wha..?\" he asked softly, before noting that his hands were bound above his head with, of all things, his necktie. Not to mention that he was naked.

\"Good, you\'re awake,\" the person said.

Kaede looked back at the person, tugging at the makeshift restraints.

\"Hana, what\'s the meaning of this…\" Kaede\'s words were cut off as Hanamichi pressed a kiss to his lips, his hands clasping over Kaede\'s wrists.

\"Sshh..\" Hanamichi whispered against his lips.

Hanamichi climbed on top of Kaede, leaning over to kiss and suckle the soft flesh of his neck. Kaede tilted his head, unable to resist, and moaned softly.

Hanamichi captured Kaede\'s lips again in a searing kiss, this one hotter than the last. Sooner than Kaede would have liked, Hanamichi let go of his lips, leaving soft, moist kisses on his neck and upper chest — above his nipples.

Hanamichi glanced back up at Kaede, who was watching him intently through half-lidded eyes. His tongue drew lazy circles around Kaede\'s nipples, eliciting a soft moan from the raven-haired man. Suddenly, Hanamichi bit one of the small nubs of flesh causing pain to radiate from Kaede\'s chest.

Kaede winced, and shot a meaningful \'I’ll make you pay for that\' look at Hanamichi.

Hanamichi smiled impertinently at his captured prize. He gave the nipple another lick before turning to its twin. He lavished the sensitive nub with licks while his hands moved lower. Brushing against the hardening member, he elicited a cry of erotic anguish from Kaede.

Kaede felt Hanamichi grinning on his chest. Of the two-year relationship with the redhead, he rarely allowed the redhead to take control. He was a little sorry that for the past months he had been neglecting his young boyfriend. ‘I’m too busy’ was his excuse whenever the redhead asked for his attention.

“I guess you don’t like to stand in the background,” he gasped as the naughty hands played with his member.

Hanamichi huffed. “You were neglecting me. I don’t like that,” he pouted angrily.

Kaede laughed a little but it soon turned to a groan when Hanamichi furiously pulled at his member.

“Hana,” he panted. “That’s attached to my body, you know.”

Hanamichi smirked evilly. “I know.”

Kaede looked at him bemusedly. Hanamichi just shrugged off the questioning look and lowered his head again. He got back to licking and nipping at Kaede’s chest and navel.

“Ah!” Kaede cried when he felt a finger touch his opening. He bucked to evade it. “Stop it, Hana, or I swear I’ll fuck you so hard you won’t be able to play basketball for a week.”

Hanamichi laughed heartily. “Hmmm, that’s what I’d like to find out,” he purred.

Kaede tugged at his binds in desperation. He didn’t mind being dominated sometimes but he had a luncheon meeting that day.

“Unbind me,” he ordered at the lapping redhead.

Hanamichi frowned. “No,” he retorted. He raised himself a bit, licked his fingers then forced it at the raven-haired man’s opening.

Kaede gasped as pain pricked his body. He was getting angry with the redhead and did not like the smug look on his face. He tugged at his binds again then he realized that his legs were free.

“Ouch!” Hanamichi cried in pain as he found himself on the floor. The damn fox had kicked him off the bed. He stood up angrily and glared at the squirming man on the bed. With an animal cry, he jumped at the poor guy.

Kaede felt the binds loosen a bit and would have succeeded in freeing himself if not for the heavy body that suddenly landed agonizingly on his stomach.

“You jerk!” Hanamichi yelled at the glaring guy beneath him. “How dare you kick the genius off his bed!”

“Idiot! Get off me!” Kaede struggled to unseat the redhead.

Hanamichi laughed at the futile attempts of Kaede to unseat him.

“Surrender, Kaede,” he purred. “I know you’ll enjoy it.” Hanamichi licked the raven-haired man’s neck again. He moved to kiss the man on thes bus but Kaede eluded him. He frowned at the stubborn resistance of the man.

Kaede stared defiantly at Hanamichi. “I have a heonheon meeting today,” he growled crossly. “With my father.”

Understanding dawned on Hanamichi. “Oh,” he muttered. “I’m sorry, Kaede. I didn’t know.”

Kaede sighed in relief in getting out this predicament. “Untie me,” he said softly. “I promise I’ll make up for those nights I left you alone.”

Hanamichi thought for a moment. “No,” he decided.

“…”

“No,” Hanamichi shook his head. He leaned closer to his silent lover and kissed him deeply. He partially parted from Kaede then kissed him deeply again, and his hands roamed freely to the muscular body before settling again on the pulsating member.

“Hana…” Kaede groaned as the hands placed magic on his body.

Hanamichi moaned when Kaede responded. He stopped their kissing to worship his body with kisses, licks and caresses. He froze when he neared Kaede’s member. He tenderly blew at it, earning him a guttural cry from the raven-haired man.

Kaede tugged at the phone cords again. When Hanamichi raised himself a little to regard him with a pleading look, he stopped all his resistance and decided to let the redhead have his way with

Hanamichi grinned when Kaede finally conceded. He went back to his task enthusiastically. He mouthed Kaede’s member and sucked with vigor as the man gasped and fucked his mouth forcibly. When Hanamichi sensed that Kaede would reach nirvana soon, he ended the foreplay.

Kaede glared at Hanamichi and the redhead just smirked at him. He tugged at the binds and was pleased to know that a little more force and the binds would unwind. His beloved redhead had probably been too hasty at the tying of the necktie. His thoughts of escape went haywire as the redhead shifted a bit then impaled himself on his erect penis. His vision blurred as white-hot fire coursed throughout his body.

Hanamichi gave a cry of pain as he impaled himself. He sat motionless for a while, getting his body to adjust to the sudden invasion. Kaede squirmed a little to get more friction, this triggered Hanamichi to start moving. He placed his hands to Kaede’s chest to serve as his balance then rocked his body. He groaned loudly when the hard member touched his G-spot.

Kaede moved in sync with Hanamichi. He knew that it wouldn’t be long now.

Hanamichi felt Kaede’s body tighten, and suddenly moved away. A pop could be heard as their body separated. The man beneath Hanamichi cried in outrage. Hanamichi jusinneinned evilly as he moved to besibeside his lover.

“Not yet, Kaede,” he crooned at the angry man. “You promised to make up for those nights, remember?” He left the bed and strut to the bathroom.

Kaede wrestled with his binds and finally succeeded in untying himself. He rubbed his wrists to get the blood to circulate again. He faintly heard Hanamichi humming a song of some sort in the bathroom. He grinned as a payback plan formed in his head.

“So you wanna play tease, eh?” he muttered under his breath as he stood beside the bathroom door. He waited patiently until the redhead finished taking a shower. He braced himself to the wall as the sound of water stopped.

Hanamichi leisurely took a shower, thinking that his lover would still be in the bed. He halted in his tracks when he found the bed empty of a fox. He stepped into the bedroom, and screamed when he was tackled from behind.

Kaede triumphantly subdued the redhead with a little nip on his shoulders.

“Fox?” Hanamichi gasped as a hard body leaned on him and a hand landed on his hardening member.

Kaede didn’t answer; instead he squeezed the redhead’s member none-to-gently then plunged into the tight ass. The redhead’s cry fueled his lust more. Moans and groans reigned within the bedroom as the two males painted the world red.

Hanamichi gave a shout of pure animalistic pleasure followed closely by Kaede’s grunt as both reached nirvana. The two fell flat on the floor as they panted to get oxygen in their lungs again.

Hanamichi purred softly as he was shifted by Kaede to face him. He smiled lovingly at his fox.

Kaede smiled back. “Idiot,” he murmured tenderly then placed a chaste kiss the redhead’s lips.

Hanamichi purred again before closing his eyes, seemingly asleep. Kaede stood up from the floor and carried Hanamichi to bed. He lovingly kissed the redhead’s forehead then murmured a soft goodbye.

“Kaede,” Hanamichi called out softly as Kaede donned his clothes.

“Yes?” Kaede answered. He hastily fastened his shirt as he fished for his pants under the bed with his foot.

Hanamichi opened his eyes sleepily and stared at the hurrying man. “Remember that today’s my graduation day,” he quietly enlightened the busy man.

Kaede froze. “Oh shit! I’m sorry, Hana, I forgot,” he went back to the bed and lay beside Hanamichi. He wrapped his arms around the redhead possessively. “I’m sorry.”

Hanai pli placed his head on Kaede’s shoulder. “It’s okay,” he said. “Just be there tonight, okay?”

Kaede nodded. “I promise.”

Hanamichi kissed Kaede then fell asleep.

Kaede smiled tenderly at the sleeping beauty beside him. “I love you, Hana.”

***

“You’re late,” a cold voice belonging to a tall man in his mid fifties uttered as Kaede sat in a leather covered chair.

Kaede shrugged. He hated having luncheon with his father; fortunately Akira was present as well as Mona. The luncheon was probably about Akira’s upcoming wedding.

Akira studied his half-brother’s clothes in silent amusement. “You look like you’ve just gotten out of bed,” he teased. He smiled innocently at Kaede when Kaede gave him a glare.

Kaede shrugged again. He searched the room for Mona, hoping that she would pull him out of this luncheon meeting as soon as possible.

“Your mother is at her friend’s house,” Hisoka Sendoh, Kaede and Akira’s father, said as he lit a cigar. “I told her that she doesn’t have to be here today.” He carefully blew a smoke ring.

Kaede felt the stirring of annoyance for his father. “What is it that you wanted to talk about?” he growled.

Akira coughed nervously as the tension in the room multiplied. He hated getting caught in the middle of their fight. It’s never pleasant to see two people you care about fight about things that could be peacefully negotiated.

“Kaede,” he broke the glaring contest of the two. “I’m getting married within two weeks. Father wanted everything to be perfect, that’s why we’re here.”

“Perfect?” Kaede asked calmly.

“Yes,” Akira swallowed nervously. He detested the calm tune of Kaede’s voice; it could only mean that he was controlling his temper. “Perfect.”

Kaede stared at his nervous half-brother with an I-don’t-care look.

Hisoka took a long drag of his cigar before throwing it to an ashtray. He studied his younger son with eagle-like blue eyes. He knew that Kaede had probably been to his lover again. He narrowed his eyes as he remembered the talks of his colleagues about the indiscreet relationships of his sons, especially Akira.

“I want you to break your relationship with that boy,” he disclosed frankly to his younger son.

Akira winced at the brutal order. He knew about the plan of his father, but he was hoping for a more subtle approach. He was hoping for a cheesy moon, for his father was never subtle when it came to Kaede.

Kaede looked shocked at first, but he soon glowered at his father.

“What makes you think that I’ll break my relationship with Hana just because you said so?” he growled in a very, very cold calm voice.

Hisoka calmly stared back at Kaede.

Akira looked back and forth at the two men. He prayed that they would not come to contact, that might become bloody. And he’ll be the worst case.

“I’m not saying it, Kaede,” Hisoka said coldly. “I’m ordering you to break the relationship, if there ever was.”

Kaede moved so fast that Akira and Hisoka were taken by surprise when his fist made contact with Hisoka’s jaw. Akira automatically held Kaede’s arm to stop him from hurting their father more.

“Stop it, Kaede,” he said as he stepped between the standing Kaede and a seated Hisoka. “He’s still your father.”

“Bullshit! He never was and he never will!” Kaede took heavy breaths as he tried to hold his temper at bay.

Akira didn’t know how to answer that so he remained silent.

Hisoka recovered from the punch and stood up too. Akira looked at him nervously as he took his time calmly wiping the blood off his lower lip.

Hisoka sighed deeply as he finished cleaning his lip. He looked straight at Kaede. “Break your relationship with that boy, Kaede. Or he won’t be much use to anyone after I’m through with him.”

“You bastard! Don’t you dare touch my Hana,” Kaede growled. He stepped towards Hisoka to punch him again but Akira stopped him with a strong hold on his waist.

“No, Kaede,” Hisoka denied. He took a deep breath before continuing. “I’ll just talk to my friends and they’ll tell the media. The media will do the work for me. In case you didn’t know, I happened to research about that young boyfriend of yours. I know that he has potential to be a professional basketball player.” He paused as he studied his son’s reaction to what he was saying. He eerily continued, “You knew how unforgiving society could be to a...fag.”

Kaede growled as he tried to step closer but a stronger older brother held him in place.

Akira wanted to lash out to his father too, but he’s too respectful to do so.

“Calm down, Kaede,” he murmured to his half-brother when Kaede struggled to get free.

“I’ll give you one week to break your so-called relationship with that boy.” Hisoka looked at his two sons closely before turning around and walked out of the room.

Akira sighed in relief. He let Kaede go as Kaede shrugged him off.

“Hitting him will only make matters worse,” Akira informed gravely.

Kaede took deep breaths to calm himself. He might end up killing Akira if he didn’t calm down.

“You should have let me kill him.”

Akira gave an unhappy laughter. “Yeah, but where would that place you? In prison? Don’t think so, Kae-chan, I won’t let you have the easy way out.”

“Selfish, aren’t we?” Kaede sarcastically uttered.

Akira sobered a bit. “We all are, Kae-chan. Even mother.”

“And your point is?”

“Let your Hana go.”

“Do you want me to kill you, Akira?”

Akira chuckled. “That would be an idea. Hey! Look at the bright side, at least he’s not demanding you get married.” Akira looked away when he realized he spoke too much.

Kaede silently studied his brother. “So you’re marrying her because he ordered you to and not because she’s pregnant.”

Akira shrugged then took his seat again. Kaede remained standing and looking at his older brother with his usual cold mask. Akira knew that Kaede was worried about him.

“I’m okay,” Akira reassured Kaede. “Yeah, she’s pregnant and I’m the father.”

“But you dowantwant to marry her.”

Akira shrugged again. He patted the seat beside him. He waited patiently for Kaede to sit before continuing. “I don’t love her. But I guess she’ll be a good wife. She is from a prestigious family after all.”

Kaede nodded in understanding. He sat beside his brother on the sofa contemplating their predicament.

“I’m sorry, Kae-chan,” he apologized softly.

“Hn?”

Akira turned to face his younger brother. “Because of that scandal I’ve caused, you have to sacrifice your relationship with your Hana. I’m sorry,” he murmured.

Kaede studied him then nodded calmly. He stood up calmly.

“Where you going, Kae-chan?” Akira frowned as he watched his brother walk away.

“To my room,” came the monotonous voice. “I have an appointment to attend to.”

“Oh.” Akira was curious of what appointment would that be but he refrained from asking. His brother looked like he wanted to be left alone.

Kaede walked towards his room like a zombie. He knew that his two-year relationship was too good to last. But he still prayed and hoped that his father would not interfere. To Hisoka, his children were just an obligation and not anymore than that. He entered his room in a painful daze.

He took off his clothes as he walked towards his bathroom. He thought of Hanamichi as he stood under the torrent of the shower. He remembered their first kiss, their first lovemaking, and the first time that he visited Hanamichi’s house.

He smiled as he pictured Hanamichi’s face when he suddenly arrived at Hanamichi’s 17th birthday. His friends, except Youhei, were shocked to know that their innocent redhead friend had an older lover. Hanamichi had been very happy that day that everyone was taken along with the redhead’s happiness. Who wouldn’t be if they were to stare at a pair of chocolate brown eyes sparkling with so much joy and fire? Kaede had his first social party that he really enjoyed, thanks to his redhead lover.

Kaede cried under the shower, his tears falling along with the water. He knew that he had to let Hanamichi go. His father never threatened, he only promised.

‘Promises are not meant to be broken, Kaede,’ his father’s words rang in his head as he shed tears for the ending of a beautiful dream.

***

Hanamichi rode the train to his school in a happy daze. Today he would be graduating from high school. He already had a basketball scholarship in college and Kaede promised him that he’d help him support his college fees. Life couldn’t get any better than this.

“Did you hear the latest gossip?”

“What? Don’t tell me it’s about the two Sendohs again?”

“Idiot! One is a Rukawa!”

Hanamichi’s ears perked as he heard the three girls talk about his boyfriend. He blushed as he remembered their *little* adventure that morning.

“I heard that one is getting married,” a woman voice penetrated Hanamichi’s thoughts.

Hanamichi froze and, against his better judgment, he listened to their gossips. He knew that the two brothers’ names often appeared on gossip columns due to their links with thousand-and-one women, both famous and infamous. Kaede often growled minglingly at Hanamichi when Hanamichi asked about the latest rumors. So Hanamichi wisely forgo reading such columns in the newspaper.

“Which brother plans to tie the knot?” one girl asked the other.

“It wasn’t mentioned in the column but I think it’s Kaede Rukawa,” one said matter-of-factly.

Hanamichi’s heart broke. He didn’t want to hear anymore but the annoying voices continued.

“You’re right. Akira Sendoh is too much of a playboy to get hooked,” another annoying voice infiltrated to the redhead’s ears.

“And I heard that he’s gay.”

“Akira?”

“Yep! I read in a column last month that he was caught with his pants down with a guy in his office.”

The girls squealed as they ohhhed.

Hanamichi badly wanted to smash their heads on the train floor, fortunately for the girls, the train stopped at Hanamichi’s stopover station. Hanamichi breathed deeply to stop the pain burning in his chest. He refused to let gossip mongers ruin this day for him. Kaede might not love him, but Hanamichi knew that he cared enough to let Hanamichi know if he planned to get married.

“Right, Kaede cares for me,” he whispered then laughed out loud to the surprised of the people in the station. To some people, he seemed to be the happiest man on earth, but to people who knew the redhead, the laughter was hallow and false.

***

“Lighten up, Hanamic Tak Takamiya reassured his gloomy friend as they walked the redhead home. “I’m sure he was just tied up to a sudden appointment.

The rest of the gang chorused in agreement. Hanamichi smiled at them gratefully. But he was still being plagued from what he heard in the train that afternoon. Added to that was Kaede’s absence in his graduation.

‘Kaede is getting married?’ he thought in agony. He shook his head to clear his reasoning. ‘No. He can’t do that to me. He won’t do that to me. He cares for me.’

Youhei glanced at his best friend worriedly. He and the rest of the gang knew about the rumors of the upcoming marriage of one of the Sendoh Enterprise heirs. He hoped and prayed that it couldn’t be Hanamichi’s Kaede. It would kill Hanamichi if that ever happened.

“We’re here!” Ookuso yelled loudly to get the redhead back from Lala land.

Hanamichi was startled to find himself in front of his house. “Thank you, guys,” he murmured as he regained his senses. “Go home now. I’ll be just fine.” He smiled at them to set their mind at rest.

The four silently studied their usually boisterous friend. They looked at each other and made a decision.

Youhei and Noma hooked their arms on the redhead’s arms and dragged the boy into his house. Hanamichi resisted but Ookuso and Takamiya pushed him to get him walking.

“Why don’t we wait for your Kaede inside the house?” Youhei said as he smiled beguilingly at Hanamichi.

Hanamichi opened his mouth to protest but Takamiya beat him to it.

“Good idea, Youhei,” he loudly declared. “I’m sure there are beer cans in the refrigerator.”

“I have some chips in my bag,” Ookuso peeped in.

“And I have a new DVD in my back pocket,” Noma proudly claimed.“Gre“Great! We won’t be bored then!” Youhei enthusiastically said.

Hanamichi looked at his friends and felt a little better.

***

Kaede watched the four true friends of his Hana drag the boy into the house from a distance. He had parked his car in a far block of Hanamichi’s house so the redhead wouldn’t know that he’s just around.

He witnessed the redhead’s graduation in a dark corner of the school’s gymnasium. He observed how Hanamichi looked around the gym; he smiled sadly for he knew that the redhead was looking for him. He wanted badly to hug the redhead as he tearfully said his goodbyes to his longtime classmates and teammates.

But he’s not ready yet. He might end up crying in front of the whole school if he walked up to his Hana. If he hugged the redhead then, he might never have the courage to let him go.

Kaede leaned on the light post, as he suddenly felt so tired. He honestly didn’t know if he’d ever have the guts to tell his Hana goodbye. But he knew that he had to, for his Hana’s sake. It didn’t matter if it’ll kill him in the process.

He straightened and decided to end it now, as soon as possible. He walked to Hanamichi’s house with heavy steps.

***

Hanamichi watched the TV with a blank look. He was too caught up in his thoughts that he couldn’t even remember what movie they were watching.

His gang glanced at him every minute; troubled that Hanamichi could be so silent.

A knock on the door brought Noma to the door. He gasped in surprise when he found a forlorn fox. He motioned for Kaede to enter quietly. The rest of the gang, except for Hanamichi, looked at the door to know who visited so late in the night. They smiled in relief to see Kaede Rukawa. Takamiya nudged Hanamichi to get his attention and pointed to the newcomer.

Hanamichi jumped from his seat in happiness and hugged Kaede.

“My god! Where have you been? I’ve been so worried. Did you have a sudden meeting? Ah! That’s okay! You’re here now and that is all that matters!” Hanamichi chatted excitedly as he clung to his lover in relief. Kaede cared for him after all.

Kaede nodded calmly.

It didn’t occur to Hanamichi though that Kaede wasn’t hugging him back. But hour our friends noticed. Youhei silently ushered the three out of the door.

“Youhei?” Takamiya protested. The other two questioned Youhei silently too as they stood outside.

“Let them be alone for the time being,” Youhei said sadly. “You know what Rukawa-san’s action says, don’t you?”

The three nodded.

“Are you just going to let him hurt Hanamichi?” Noma asked gravely.

Youhei shook his head. “I wouldn’t if I had a choice. But we all know that that is inevitable.”

The three quietly agreed. A lanky boy and a worldly man rarely mixed up, and if they do, they never last.

Kaede, in the meantime, listened to Hanamichi’s voice intently. He knew that it would probably be the last that he’d hear his Hana talk to him openly. Hanamichi was chatting about nothing and everything. He smiled sadly as he recalled his father’s words.

Hanamichi hushed up as Kaede untangled his arms. “Kaede, what’s wrong?” he asked apprehensively.

“I’m going to America tomorrow, Hana,” he said softly. He inwardly winced at the lame lie.

Hanamichi was shocked, and got scared. He laughed to ease the tension a bit. “Okay,” he whispered. He smiled at the stoic man before him, consciously and silently denying the signs. “When will you be back?”

Kaede stared at Hanamichi coldly. “Never,” he spoke softly.

This rendered the redhead speechless.

Kaede watched silently as his beloved tried to speak but couldn’t find the words. His t brt broke as Hanamichi started crying. He badly wanted to reach out and comfort him, but restrained himself. That move would only make the break-up more painful.

“Why?” Hanamichi sobbed. “WHY, KAEDE?!”

Kaede shrugged his shoulders. To Hanamichi, it seemed that the older man didn’t care. Rage bubbled up as his pain fully blinded him.

“YOU NEVER CARED FOR ME, DIDN’T YOU? DIDN’T YOU?” Hanamichi punched Kaede, and Kaede didn’t even evade it though he saw it coming. Hachi chi started pounding his chest as he yelled questions that Kaede couldn’t answer. He let the redhead pound his chest. It hurts but not as much as his heart.

Hanamichi sobbed harder as he realized that his Kaede was not even defending himself. He stopped hitting Kaede and kneeled down in defeat. He crouched down as he cried his heart out.

“Why, Kaede? Please…please…tell me…the…reason,” he begged between his sobs. “Please.”

“Must there be a reason?” Kaede said coldly. He turned away from Hanamichi before he changed his mind. “Goodbye, Hana.”

Hanamichi raised his head and hugged Kaede’s waist. “No,” he cried. “No. You can’t leave me. I love you, Kaede, please stay.”

Kaede struggled but Hanamichi held on.

“No, please, DON’T LEAVE ME.” Hanamichi was dragged along as Kaede walked towards the door. “NO! NO! DON’T LEAVE ME! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!”

Kaede forcibly twisted Hanamichi’s arm. He turned around when Hanamichi’s hold loosened and gave the hysterical youth a hard backhand slap.

Hanamichi was thrown backward at the force of the slap. He tearfully looked up at his two-year lover. He saw the serious expression and knew that it was all over. He had lost his fox.

He crouched in fetal position on the floor as Kaede walked out the door. His tears weren’t flowing anymore.

Hanamichi Sakuragi died that night.
