Chapter Three

Shuichi woke up a few hours later still in Yuki’s arms. Carefully he got out of bed and stood by the window. He did feel better now. He had finally got his secret off his chest. He had nearly told Yuki about it when the man had told him about Kitazawa, but something stopped him.

He hadn’t been able to step inside his parent’s house since it happened. As soon as he was released from the hospital, he had refused to go back to that house. His parents understood, so they let him stay with Hiro while they had an apartment built above the garage.

He had lived in it until he had moved in with Yuki. Maybe it was time to pay a visit, maybe it would help him. His parents would probably be shocked, but he guessed it was something he had to do. It was about time he finally laid his past to rest.

He looked around when he heard the bed creak. Yuki stood up and came to stand beside him. Shuichi had never seen Yuki look as vulnerable as he did now, the man looked at him with sad eyes. Shuichi smiled and raised his hand, running his fingers along Yuki’s cheek. He loved this man more than anything in this world. He had no idea why he wanted to leave him.

Yuki took the hand caressing his cheek. He hoped this meant Shuichi was coming back to him, but he was too afraid to ask. Shuichi wanted more than anything for the man to make love to him. He had never thought of it as that before, it was always fucking or screwing. Stepping forward, Shuichi wrapped his arms around Yuki’s neck. Yuki responded by wrapping his arms around the younger mans tiny waist, pulling the smaller body against his own.

He knew what Shuichi wanted, but he was unsure whether it was a good idea, but all reasoning went out of the window when their lips met. Yuki moaned against the younger mans soft, sweet lips. He ran his tongue along Shuichi’s bottom lip, Shuichi opened his mouth. Yuki’s pushed his tongue in and deepened the kiss.

Yuki wanted his brat more than anything, but he thought maybe it was a bad idea for them to do anything. Shuichi could feel Yuki’s uncertainty and took control, pulling Yuki towards the bed. They fell upon it in a tangle of limbs. Shuichi’s breath was temporarily knocked out of him as Yuki fell on top of him.

Yuki looked down at the gorgeous man beneath him, and slowly lowered his head. Shuichi met his lips halfway and they kissed each other delicately. The kiss grew in intensity and soon they were nearly ripping each others clothes off.

Warning, lemon alert: (it’s not very good, but it’s still a lemon)

Yuki would never get tired at seeing or feeling Shuichi’s beautiful body. His hands traced up Shuichi’s legs, from his ankles to his thighs. Shuichi closed his eyes, loving the feel of Yuki’s hands on his body.

He gasped, opening his eyes as he felt Yuki’s mouth nibble on his stomach. Yuki moved his mouth upwards to Shuichi’s nipples. While one hand played with his left one, he used his tongue on the other. The room filled with Shuichi’s moans.

Yuki moved, so he was between Shuichi’s legs. He placed his fingers in Shuichi’s mouth, who sucked and licked at them greedily. Removing his fingers, Yuki moved them to Shuichi’s opening and slipped one in. He moved his finger, stretching the tight passage. Shuichi moaned as he added another finger. Shuichi held on to Yuki’s shoulders, his fingers digging in to the pale flesh. Shuichi moaned in disappointment when Yuki removed his fingers. The older man smiled as he positioned his erection against Shuichi’s opening.

Shuichi gasped for breath as Yuki slammed into him with a flex of his hips. The blonde held still for a few moments, allowing Shuichi to get use to having his length inside of him. He began moving when Shuichi squeezed his shoulders.

Yuki buried his face against Shuichi neck as his thrust into him over and over. Shuichi’s hands moved up and down Yuki’s back, nails digging into the pale flesh. He wrapped his legs around the older mans waist, making Yuki drive deeper into him.

Shuichi could feel the pressure rising, and he came with a loud moan splashing white liquid against his stomach. The tight passage squeezing Yuki’s cock tightened and he released himself after one last jab. He collapsed on top of the man under him, his legs feeling like jelly.

Lemon is now over.

After a moment, Yuki pulled out of Shuichi and collapsed beside him. He pulled the younger man against him. Shuichi snuggled against Yuki’s chest, feeling warm and tired. They both fell asleep wrapped in each others.

Shuichi woke up the next morning sore, but it was a good soreness. He looked over to the blonde man sleeping beside him. He didn’t know if things would get better between them, but he was willing to give it a go. But there was once thing he had to do first. He had to pay his childhood home a visit. He had to put his memories to rest.

Only then he hoped he could get on with his life. Stretching, he got out of bed and headed into the bathroom for a shower. The warm watered eased his aching muscles. After drying and dressing, he realised he was late for work. He got his cell phone out of his and realised he had had it on silent. He had over 20 missed calls and just as many text messages.

Most of them were from Hiro, two were from Tohma and one was from K, telling him to call or the man would hunt him down. He rolled his eyes and sent Hiro a text, telling his friend he was fine, and he would call him later.

He then sent a text to K, telling the man he wouldn’t be in today as he had something he needed to do. He then turned his phone off. He didn’t want to deal with anyone else today. He called room service and asked for some coffee to be brought up.

After the coffee arrived, Shuichi stood in front of the window with a cup in his hand. His heart felt a little lighter for the first time since he had killed his cousin. A groan had him looking towards the bed. He smiled as Yuki sat up looking adorably cute, his blonde hair sticking up.

Yuki blinked the sleep out of his eyes and looked around the room. Shuichi stood by the window smiling at him. Shuichi walked over to the trolley and poured Yuki a coffee. The blonde took it, taking a sip of the hot liquid.

His eyes met Shuichi’s once again. The younger man seemed different. Was it because he had finally bared his soul, and told his secret? After finishing his coffee, he put the cup on the trolley and walked towards Shuichi, but he stopped uncertainly. Even though they slept together last night, does that mean their back together?

Shuichi knew what Yuki was thinking. He put his cup down and wrapped his arms around Yuki’s neck, resting his head against the older mans chest.

“Shuichi, are we back together? And are you coming back to live with me?” Yuki asked softly as he wrapped his arms around the younger mans waist.

“Yes to both questions Yuki.”

Yuki’s arms tightened around the smaller body. “I won’t let you down, I promise.”

A couple of hours later they were standing outside Shuichi’s parent’s house. His parents and sister were out for the day, so they wouldn’t be disturbed. Shuichi unlocked the door, and entered the house.

After removing their shoes, Yuki followed as Shuichi walked up the stairs. Shuichi felt his body begin to tremble. It had been a long time since he had been here, and to be honest he wished he had not decided to come here.

Yuki put his hand on Shuichi’s back to let the younger man know he wasn’t alone. He heard Shuichi sigh, but he continued walking. They paused at a door, and Shuichi took a deep breath and opened it.

They entered the room, that was still decorated how he left it, but the carpet had been changed. Shuichi looked at the spot where he had killed Jin. It’s funny really, he didn’t feel anything. Now that he was here, he felt nothing.

He smiled slightly, feeling a little silly. Now that he had shared his secret, this place didn’t have a big impact on him. He didn’t feel like he had to leave the room, he just stood there.

Yuki looked around the room, smiling. He could tell it was Shuichi’s room. The walls were covered in Nittle Grasper posters. He looked back at Shuichi to see a small smile on the younger mans face. He placed his arm around Shuichi’s shoulder and the younger man leaned against him. They stood there for a while, just looking. Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like it was finally over. Taking Yuki’s hand, he led the man out of his old room and down the stairs. After putting their shoes back on, they left.

Once they were sitting in Yuki’s car, the older man turned to Shuichi. “I think it’s time to I put Kitazawa to rest. Will you come to New York with me?” He asked.

“Of course Yuki.” Shuichi answered.

“Also I think you should call me Eiri from now on. I don’t want you calling me by a dead mans name.”

“Okay.” Shuichi smiled.

Yuki drove away from Shuichi’s parent’s house and drove back to their apartment. He helped Shuichi carry in his stuff and went straight to the phone to book airplane tickets. He was lucky and managed to get a flight that was leaving in a couple of hours. They were return tickets, so they would stay in New York for just one day, and then fly back to Japan. Yuki was finally ready to lay Kitazawa’s ghost to rest.

--

A couple of hours later, they were seated on a plane flying towards New York. Yuki held Shuichi’s hand, he needed the comfort and his brats touch. He was nervous, and he felt a little sick. It had been a while since he had been in New York, he hadn’t visited Kitazawa’s grave in a while. But this would be the last time, and he hoped to get some closure.

He knew that this would be his last chance with Shuichi, and he was determined to make it work. Shuichi meant more to him than anything, and he could not bear to lose the one he loved, and Shuichi had managed to put his demons to rest, and now it was his turn.

They were flying first class and there was only one more couple besides them in the section. Yuki looked around, and sighed. A squeeze on his hand brought his eyes to Shuichi’s face. His brat raised his eyebrows at him, a silent question of asking him how he was.

Yuki smiled and leant over, brushing his lips against Shuichi’s. He pulled away, and nodded, a silent way of saying he was fine. They would be in New York tomorrow, so he leant back and closed his eyes, he might as well sleep. He felt Shuichi move and a moment later, a weight on his shoulder told him Shuichi had leant his head on his shoulder, he smiled as he felt himself falling asleep.
