Dog Day Afternoon

It was a hot, sultry August afternoon, one of those often referred to as a dog day afternoon, and business was slow. If it would only rain.

It was just too hot and sticky to even think about going out to the Honky Tonk for another endless afternoon of nothing to do but stare at each other, so Ban and Gingi whiled away the afternoon watching old movies on the small TV set they had rescued and revived.

The apartment wasn’t much, small and cramped, but the retrieval business had no guarantees and you could never be sure from one week to the next just how much money would be on hand. This week, it was very little. But at least they had a roof that didn’t leak when it rained (at least not too much) and rooms of their own, even if they did barely have enough room to turn around in them. The small couch was ratty and ugly to look at, but it was something to sit on besides the floor, even if they did have to sit very close together. It beat living out of their car by a mile.

Sitting so close to Gingi, Ban could feel the body heat radiating off of him and he found it very distracting, to say the least. They had never stayed so close for so long without talking or having another person around, and Ban was starting to notice little things about Gingi, such as the way his blond hair was falling across his innocent, child-like eyes. Eyes that always looked so trustingly at Ban. The rise and fall of his muscular chest with each soft breath. Lips that curved in a slight smile, soft and inviting lips that almost begged for a kiss.

All in all, this was not what one would picture when one thought of the fearsome Lightening Lord, Raitei, former leader of the Volts, but that was who Gingi had been before Ban had come along and taken him away from the world of the Infinite Fortress.

Ban looked at the hand that rested on the couch between them, then reached out to run his finger lightly over Gingi’s fingers. Gingi turned puzzled eyes toward Ban, confused by this sudden, intimate touch, but he didn’t move his hand away or make any comment. Ban was emboldened by Gingi’s lack of reaction.

Ban shifted his weight, turning so that he was sitting with one leg pulled up on the couch. He reached out his hand to touch Gingi’s face, stroking his soft cheek gently. Ban’s lips parted slightly and the tip on his tongue caressed his bottom lip invitingly.

“Ban-chan?” asked Gingi, hesitantly, not quite sure of just what Ban wanted.

Ban slipped his hand behind Gingi’s neck and gently drew his face close until their lips just barely brushed in a kiss. When Gingi didn’t object or pull away, Ban gave him several more small kisses, then pulled back slightly.

“Gingi,” he whispered in a husky voice, “let’s go to your room, okay?”

“O… okay,” Gingi answered, bemused and still somewhat confused by Ban’s actions.

He allowed Ban to take his hand and to pull him to his feet, then he followed Ban down the hall to his room, the voices from the TV following them faintly.

Once in his room, they sat on his bed next to each other, the silence, the heat and the darkness enfolding them completely.

Ban gently took Gingi’s face in both hands and leaned towards him until their mouths came together. After several small kisses, Ban ran his tongue across Gingi’s bottom lip and when Gingi’s mouth opened in response, Ban’s tongue slipped inside his mouth. Ban’s tongue playfully caressed Gingi’s and Gingi felt himself responding, kissing Ban back. His hands came up to rest on Ban’s upper arms, feeling and caressing the strong muscles under his shirt sleeves.

They kissed for a long time, gently and slowly, and Ban let one hand slide around Gingi’s neck, then down to caress his shoulders. Gently, he pushed Gingi back on the bed, then slid to lay down beside him. He continued to kiss the unresisting Gingi as his other hand started to slide up under Gingi’s shirt.

Ban’s hand felt warm and soft on his skin and the touch felt almost electric, sending chills up and down Gingi’s spine. Gingi never knew that the touch of someone’s hand could feel this way. His own hand was still on Ban’s arm and through his shirt, Gingi could almost feel the same electric tingle. Perhaps, if Ban was to take off his shirt, he would feel more of it?

He felt a momentary loss as Ban’s lips left his, but the kisses that Ban started to give him on his neck made him feel as if Ban was lighting a fire under his skin. Gingi moaned softly. So many different sensations were coursing through his body and sudden new emotions were welling up, Gingi was quite overcome.

Ban had never even hinted he had these kind of feelings toward him, or that he had felt this way about guys at all. He was always ogling Hevn’s breasts and trying to get his hands on them. And there were so many other girls. Ban never had a lack of partners for a casual night of sex, it seemed, so this was quite a surprise. But this was rather nice and enjoyable, at least up until this point.

Gingi didn’t like to admit that he really had no experience at all when it came to any kind of physical matters with girls. He’d never even kissed a girl yet, so his kiss with Ban was his first kiss ever.

By now, Ban had gotten Gingi’s shirt up over his head and had his own unbuttoned. Ban’s hands stroked Gingi’s sides and stomach as his lips kissed their way down his throat and across his chest to his nipples. Ban’s teeth and tongue played with one while his fingers teased the other.

Gingi jumped as if a huge electric shock had just been discharged in his body. The many sensations just continued to build, like a tidal wave, threatening to engulf Gingi. He wasn’t sure which he liked better, the touch of Ban’s hands or his mouth, they both brought out such different sensations in his skin. Then Ban’s mouth, that teasing, tormenting mouth that was leaving a trail of fire down his body, reached his stomach and stopped to play with his belly button.

Gingi gasped. Hands that had been caressing Ban’s arms and shoulders moved to entangle themselves in Ban’s soft, dark hair. Gingi could never have imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that something could feel this way. He was starting to feel a tightening in his groin as what Ban was doing was starting to arouse him.

He could feel his chest tightening, his breathing starting to turn into a pant and a moan escaped from his lips as the feelings and the sensations built to a crescendo. He was becoming so aroused. He had never felt this hard in his life. Another small noise, almost a whimper, escaped. His mind was in such a whirl, he could hardly think.

And then Ban did the unthinkable. He slid his hand down inside Gingi’s pants, his hand closing around Gingi’s erection, and he started to stroke it gently as his mouth moved back up to reclaim Gingi’s.

But Gingi stiffened and pulled back, his hands pushing Ban back abruptly.

“N… no! Ban-chan!” Gingi exclaimed, shocked. “Don’t! Don’t touch there!”
Ban immediately removed his hand, disengaging all contact from the suddenly frightened looking Gingi. He sat up on the bed and took a deep breath to clear his head.

“I’m sorry, Gingi,” Ban said quietly, starting to button his shirt.

Gingi could only lay there in silent disbelief. It was all just moving too fast for him.

Ban started to get up off of Gingi’s bed, then paused. He leaned over and kissed Gingi once on the forehead, his hand stroking Gingi’s cheek softly.

“I just… I thought… I don’t know. I’m sorry. I didn’t meant to scare you, or do anything to you that you that you didn’t like. I’ll get out of here now,” Ban said in a soft, subdued voice, sadness in his eyes.

He stood and walked away without once looking back at the bed where a very confused Gingi lay, trying to understand what had just happened. Gingi could only lay there and blink stupidly for a few moments. By the time he started to react, Ban was almost to the door. He tried to speak, but his voice seemed frozen in his throat.

“W… wa… wait, Ban… Ban-chan…” he finally managed to get out, but it was too late.

The door had already closed on Ban’s back. Gingi’s outstretched hand fell back to the bed and tears rolled down his face. What had just happened here? Ban-chan had tried to seduce him, then abruptly rejected him? But no, he had been the one to say stop. Ban-chan had only respected what he had wanted, after all.

Gingi could hear the shower start in the bathroom that separated his room from Ban’s. He lay quietly, considering everything that had happened and how he felt about all of it.

It really had felt nice when Ban kissed him. Gingi had never kissed anyone before and Ban’s tongue had been doing some really interesting things, things Gingi would never have thought about doing with his tongue. Ban was quite knowledgeable about things like that. And Ban’s kisses had felt nice on his body. The places where his lips had touched had felt like little fires were burning underneath his skin. And the way he trailed those kisses down Gingi’s body. The thought gave Gingi a pleasant thrill as he recalled it. That, too, had felt nice.

Then there were Ban’s hands. They were so soft and tender, gently caressing Gingi’s bare skin. Gingi knew the strength and brute power of those hands with their snakebite grip and that they could be so gentle was wonderful.

Everywhere that Ban’s hands had touched, Gingi had felt the tingle from the electrical charge that his body held. No one had ever touched him that way before, and so Gingi had no clue that the electricity in his body would react that way.

All in all, it was a very erotic and arousing experience, and, right up until the very moment that Ban had slid his hand into Gingi’s pants and touched him, it was all very pleasant. And even that had not been unpleasant, just very unexpected.

He had just been so startled. He had only wanted Ban to wait, but he couldn’t seem to get the words to come out before Ban left him.

The cessation of the water from the next room brought Gingi out of his reverie. Ban would be going back to his own room now. Gingi sat up on his bed, a firm look of resolution on his face. He would just go over to Ban’s room. He would go over, right now, while he had his courage screwed up and see if Ban wanted to continue where they had left off. Yes. That was what he wanted to do! Continue what Ban had started. But he’d better go while his passion was still inflamed.

Gingi got off of his bed and marched boldly to Ban’s room, but halted at the closed door. The door had never been closed before now. The closed door might well have been an insurmountable barrier, rather then a thin wooden door, as intimidating as it seemed. Gingi stood, hand raised to knock, but he hesitated, frozen in place by that daunting door.

*~*

Ban dropped his clothes to the floor, then stepped under the cool water of the shower, letting it run over his up turned face and down his highly aroused body. Damn. How could he have misread the situation so badly? Gingi had seemed willing. He hadn’t objected to them going to his room, he hadn’t turned aside from Ban’s kisses, or pushed away Ban’s questing hands, at first, anyway. He hadn’t even objected to Ban’s pushing him down on the bed.

It had seemed like he was alright with everything Ban was doing. He had been so responsive, if just a little innocent. His kisses had fire in them, his body had moved under Ban’s hand, he had gasped and moaned in his pleasure. So what had gone wrong? Why had Gingi rejected him so abruptly?

Of course, as soon as Gingi had pushed him away, had said no, Ban had stopped. He would never force himself on an unwilling or reluctant partner. He wanted Gingi to respond to him from his own desire, not from force.

God, Gingi made him so hard! He wanted him so much, his desire for Gingi was so intense. Ban hadn’t realized that he could feel this way about a guy. No other guy had ever made him feel like this, so he was pretty sure he wasn’t gay. There had been plenty of girls. Hell, he’d love to get his hands on Hevn and her boobs. But there was just something about Gingi. He couldn’t quite understand it.

As the cool water ran over his body and his thoughts turned back to Gingi, his hand went down to his hard cock and he started to stroke himself, images of Gingi making his hand move faster, his breath coming in gasps and small moans of pleasure escaping from his mouth. His eyes closed as he felt himself nearing climax, his hand moving faster and harder. He came with a low cry, collapsing against the shower wall, the now cold water washing the come from his hand and his body.

Slowly his breathing returned to normal, his heartbeat slowed and his body registered the fact that the water was damned cold now. With a shiver, he shut it off and reached for a towel. Rubbing himself briskly helped him to warm up a bit.

He wrapped the towel around his waist, gathered his clothes and headed for his room. Once there, he discarded the towel, sat back on the bed, pulling the sheet over his hips and reached for his cigarettes. His lighter briefly flared, then he was left to the darkness, broken only by the glow from the cigarette, to return to his contemplation of Gingi and what had gone wrong.

Several cigarettes later Ban heard a timid tapping on his door.

“Come on in, Gingi,” he called softly.

“Ban-chan?” asked Gingi, hesitantly, still standing in the doorway.

“Gingi, you can come in. I’m not going to jump on you, you know,” said Ban, gently, sitting up further on the bed.

“You’re not mad at me?” asked Gingi, walking slowly over to the bed.

“Of course not,” Ban answered. “Why would I be mad at you?”

“Well, because I pushed you away, after I let you, you know, kiss me and all,” replied Gingi.

“Oh, Gingi,” Ban laughed. “You’re just too sweet. I kissed you because you just looked so good to me, but I stopped because I respect you. I’m not going to get mad at you. It’s your choice if you want someone to kiss you, or whatever.”

Ban moved over on the bed and patted the side invitingly.

“Come on. Sit down. We can talk. I won’t touch you, if you don’t want me to, I promise,” Ban swore solemnly.

Gingi plopped down beside him with a sigh. Then he smiled happily.

“Ban-chan, I was so worried you’d be all mad at me and everything. But Ban-chan, I didn’t want you to leave. I just wanted you to wait. I liked the way you were kissing me. It was really nice. I, well, I never kissed anyone before, so…” Gingi’s voice trailed off shyly as he blushed.

“So, I got your first kiss?” asked Ban.

Gingi just nodded happily.

“Well, if you like kissing, we could kiss some more,” Ban offered, “but I don’t know if I could keep my hands from wandering over your body.”

“Well,” said Gingi, blushing even more, “your hands felt really nice, too. You just startled me when you put your hand in my pants. Maybe, if you warned me, first, that you were going to do something like that, it would be alright.”

“Alright then, I’m warning you, right now,” said Ban, looking him directly in the eye. “I want to have sex with you. If we start kissing, I’m going to touch you, and I mean down there. I’m going to touch your cock, I’m going to put my hands on it, and my mouth. I’m going to lick it and suck it and make you come. I’m going to touch your ass. I’m going to use my fingers and I’m going to put them inside of you to make you feel really good and I’m going to want to put my cock in your ass so I can fuck you. I want to fuck you long, and slow. This is exactly what I want to do to you. So, if that’s alright with you and you don’t mind me doing this to you, then, please, Gingi, I want you to get into my bed with me.

“I want to make love to you, but I want you to want me to make love to you.” Ban stopped talking suddenly.

The silence stretched out for several minutes while Gingi thought carefully about all that Ban had just told him.

“Will you be gentle? I’ve never done anything like this before and I don’t know if I could take your cock in my ass. It’s really big, you know,” Gingi bit at his lower lip as he glanced at Ban’s sheet covered mid-section, the sheet doing nothing to hide Ban’s renewed arousal. On the contrary, it only made it seem larger.

“Of course I’ll be gentle. We’ll go slow and I’ll use a lot of lubricant so it’ll be easier for me to enter you. And I’ll make sure that you’re very relaxed and stretched before I try to enter you. I want you to enjoy this as much as I know that I’m going to.” Ban smiled, reaching out a hand to caress Gingi’s face. “So, how about a kiss?”

“Okay, Ban-chan,” said Gingi. “I’m going to let you do it to me. You’re the first, you know.”

Gingi’s confession was accompanied by a deep blush as he ducked his head, once again biting at his lower lip.

“I know,” Ban replied, very softly, “but I have done this before, and I’ll take good care of you. I won’t let your first time be bad. And I’m not going to let our first time be our only time. I want more then just a one night stand, Gingi.”

“Ban… Ban-chan? Are you saying what I think you’re saying?” asked Gingi.

“Yes,” answered Ban. “I want this to be a relationship. I want you to be my lover, Gingi. I’m asking you, before anything happens between us, will you be mine?”

“Yes, Ban-chan, I will. I will be only yours.” Gingi promised.

“Then kiss me, Gingi, to seal this vow between us, that you will always be mine, and I will be yours and we will be together.” Ban waited expectantly.

It only took Gingi a heartbeat to respond, and he sealed himself to Ban Mido with a kiss.

Ban slid down on the bed and pulled Gingi’s unresisting body down on top of his, his hands caressing Gingi’s bare back and running through his short blond hair. The electricity almost jumped between them at Ban’s touch, so excited was Gingi.

Gently, he rolled his soon to be lover and his heart-mate off of himself and on to his back so that he could unfasten Gingi’s shorts. The shorts slid off easily, revealing Gingi in all of his aroused male glory.

Ban started to explore with tongue and fingers as promised, touching and tasting everywhere, leaving a trail of delicate love-bites down Gingi’s body. Gingi jumped when Ban’s hand closed over his engorged cock, but relaxed as Ban started to stroke gently. When Ban let his mouth slide over the tip, tongue licking around the crown and across the slit that dripped with pre-cum, then took almost the whole length into his throat, Gingi could only gasp and make small noises of unmitigated pleasure. Nothing had prepared him for a sensation such as this one. What Ban was doing made him tingle all the way to his toes.

After several long minutes of the deep penetration into Ban’s throat, he backed off somewhat and started to stroke the bottom half while still sucking and licking insistently at the upper half of Gingi’s cock, his tongue running up the thick vein in the back and teasing around the head, mouth dipping down to provide intense suction in between. Gingi’s hands found his face, caressed his cheeks gently, then ran his hands through Ban’s still damp hair. What a feeling. What a sensation. It seemed to last an eternity as the pressure built up inside him.

Soon Gingi was writhing on the bed, gasping and moaning, unable to contain himself any longer. He tried to thrust with his hips, but Ban held him still, and started to caress his balls, rolling them gently in his hand. He could feel the tension as Gingi neared his completion.

“Ban… Ban-chan, I’m… I’m… I think, I’m, I’m gonna, oh, ohh, ohhh, ohhhh, ahhhh!” Gingi moaned, the collapsed as the dam broke on an earth shaking (or at least a bed shaking) orgasm.

Ban relaxed his muscles and took Gingi’s cock deep into his throat until his balls rested on Ban’s chin. Ban’s hand caressed the silky sac as Gingi’s seed spilled, then he continued to suck until the last quivering shot of Gingi’s passion was spent, swallowing everything Gingi had to give him. Then he raised his dripping mouth from Gingi’s now depleted organ.

“Was that good, Gingi? Did you like that?” Ban asked wickedly, licking the corner of his mouth. “Now it’s my turn, you get to make me come.”

“Oh, Ban-chan, that was awesome. I’ve never felt anything like that ever before, but Ban-chan, I don’t think I can move,” replied Gingi.

“You don’t have to. Now we do the rest of what we talked about. I’m going to take you,” said Ban, getting off the bed to get the tube of lubricant he kept for these occasions.

As he slid back into the bed next to Gingi, he kissed him, letting Gingi taste the residue of the come that still coated his mouth. Ban kept the kiss going for a long time, not wanting Gingi to lose the relaxed state that he had worked so hard to achieve.

When they finally broke from the kiss, Ban moved to kneel between Gingi’s legs.

“We can do this one of two ways, on your back, like you are now, or on your stomach. Penetration is probably easier on your stomach, but you don’t the kisses that go with it. We’ll do it which ever way you want,” said Ban, waiting, tube of lubricant in hand.

“This way,” said Gingi. “I want to see you. And I want the kisses you promise.”

“Okay, then, here we go. I’m gonna use a lot of this lube, but I won’t lie to you, it’s gonna hurt. But you’re pretty relaxed from the blow job, so that’ll help.” Ban had squeezed out a generous amount of the lube and slicked it on to his hard, waiting cock, then squeezed some more out to anoint Gingi.

Gently, he pushed Gingi’s thighs apart and slid between them, then bent his knees, opening Gingi up to his waiting hand. When Ban’s lube covered fingers touched his tender opening, Gingi jumped, but Ban put his other hand on Gingi’s hip, holding him down.

“Ban-chan, that’s cold,” Gingi complained.

“Is that all? It’ll become warm soon enough,” laughed Ban, pushing hard against the muscles of the opening with his fingers, gently forcing his way in. “Now, just relax. There, that’s one finger in. Easy, now. Just relax. You’re doing great.”

Gingi started to pant, feeling a little scared, and he could feel the muscles in his butt starting to tense up around Ban’s intruding fingers as the first one was soon joined in it’s endeavors by the second and, later, the third. They moved gently, caressing the inner walls of Gingi’s channel and stretching the muscles, but it all felt so strange. Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea, after all. It really felt weird, though it didn’t hurt a lot. By the time the third finger joined the first two, however, Gingi still felt a little unsure.

“Ban-chan? Is it supposed to feel like this? I feel like I need the bathroom,” said Gingi. “Maybe you should take them out. No, don’t move them around! Ban-chan!”

“It’s alright. That feeling will pass, that’s just the initial feeling. My cock will reach a lot deeper then my fingers. And I need to move them so I can help you stretch. Just relax. Okay, now? Alright. Do you want me to put it in now? You’re doing great.” Ban smiled encouragingly, moving his fingers in and out of Gingi’s passage gently..

“Ye… yes, you can put it in, I guess. I think I can do it if you’re as gentle as you have been,” replied Gingi, still a little hesitant, but wanting to please Ban.

As Ban removed his fingers from Gingi’s body and prepared to enter him, he hesitated a moment.

“Gingi, are you sure? Do you really want to give me your virginity? Do you really want to be fucked by another guy? I need to know, Gingi, before I can do this. Because I’m serious about us and wanting us to be a couple. Gingi, this is going to be our wedding night,” said Ban, his heartfelt emotion written across his earnest face.

Then Gingi, sweet Gingi, laughed gently.

“Ban-chan, look at where we are. You are on your knees, naked, between my legs, getting ready to fuck me. I have my legs open for you, waiting.

“Yes, Ban-chan, I want you to take my virginity, I give it to you freely.

“Yes, Ban-chan, I want to be fucked by another guy, if that guy is you.

“Ban-chan, I want this to be our wedding night, so please, Ban-chan, make me your lover.”

With that, Gingi reached up placed his hands on Ban’s hips and gave a gentle tug.

The first part of the entry was anything but pleasant, even with all of the lube and the stretching. Nothing could really prepare Gingi for the sensation that he was being split in two by Ban’s invading cock, and he did scream and cry, somewhat, as the head of Ban’s engorged cock forced it’s way slowly past the tight muscle ring, breeching it’s resistance to penetration. Ban paused after the initial penetration, letting Gingi adjust to the invasion, then began to push slowly inside, until he was sheathed completely in Gingi’s hot channel. Oh, god, but Gingi felt hot and tight around him. Gingi, on the other hand, felt a little differently, at first.

“Oh, god! Ban-chan, you’re killing me! You’re all the way in my stomach! It hurts! Take it out, take it out, please, take it out! Ban-channn!” Gingi cried and begged, but to no avail.

“No, Gingi, just wait a couple of minutes, let yourself adjust to the feeling. Just give it a little time, please?” said Ban, unrelentingly. But he did lay quietly, and with caressing hands and soft kisses finally calmed his frantic bride somewhat. Gingi just panted wild eyed at him. “Try to relax.”

Gingi moaned, shaking his head, but Ban could feel him trying to relax his muscles around the invading shaft and he kissed and caressed Gingi some more.
“Gingi, it I pull it out now, it’ll just hurt more when I put it in later,” Ban explained calmly, reasonably.

“What later?” screamed Gingi.

“Of course there will be later. We’ll be doing this a lot from now on,” said Ban.

“A lot?” whimpered Gingi.

“After you get used to it, you’ll enjoy it,” said Ban, delivering on more of the promised kisses. “So, just bear with it for a little while right now. Relax a little, don’t tense the muscles in your butt so much, then it won’t feel so bad.”

After they finally got through the initial stage of the penetration, and Gingi started to relax enough to accept Ban comfortably inside his body, Ban started to rock his hips, more of a gentle rubbing than an actual thrusting motion. Soon Gingi was rocking his hips to meet Ban’s and Ban started to gently move in and out of Gingi’s body in an easy thrust. He tried very hard not to become to vigorous with his new lover, but got just a little carried away at the very end. The last two or three thrusts were hard and deep as he arched in his orgasm, coming hot and wet inside Gingi’s willing body before collapsing on top of him.

As he lay panting, trying to catch his breath, Ban felt Gingi’s arms tighten around him and a faint electric tingle passed through his body.

“Oh, Gingi, that was awesome,” Ban panted. “Thank you, my sweet Gingi. I love you.”

“Truly, Ban-chan?” asked Gingi.

“Truly, Gingi. I love you,” Ban answered.

“Oh, Ban-chan, I’ve been waiting to hear you say that. I was starting to think, maybe, well, maybe you didn’t really love me,” confessed a blushing Gingi.

“Of course I love you. Didn’t I just make you my lover?” asked Ban.

“Well, yes,” Gingi hedged, “but a lover needs to hear these things, you know.”

“Oh, Gingi,” laughed Ban.

With that, Ban Mido rolled to his side and pulled his blushing new lover, Gingi, Amano into his arms and kissed him good night.

Outside, the rain had started to fall, the air had begun to cool and the dog days of summer had ended.
