The Ghost of Affection

Author's note: My account got deleted for some reason, I'm not sure why. But a few of my friends asked me to repost this story. So here it is. I revised the ending, and I also fixed the spelling errors. Anyways, enough of my pointless blabbing. XD

~~~~~The Ghost of Affection

Yuki slowly wandered the halls of the school, concentrating upon the list of things he had to do written on the paper in his hand. He was exhausted from doing the first three things on the list, and there were about five more to go. He groaned as he read the next item on the list. Check the storage behind the school and make sure it’s locked. That would have been easy enough, except his last errand had him on the other end of the school. He slowly made his way to the back of the school, knowing every twist and turn of the hallways now. The emotional stress had been building up on him ever since a week ago. Akito had started calling him to the main house to remind him of his place. At first it was just talks about how school was, then it came to the whispered threats and the dark room. He shook those memories out of his head. He shouldn’t be afraid of Akito anymore. As he finished up his list of chores to do, it was already dark outside. It was summer so he didn’t have a coat. He shuddered against the cool night breeze, increasing his pace. Other than the cold, it was a nice night out. There were no clouds in the sky and he could see a full moon hovering above him. As he neared the house, he slowed a bit, thinking things over. He was dreading tomorrow, which was Saturday. The weekends were tough on him since he was forced to go back to the main house and see Akito. Yuki knew if he refused to go, Akito might threaten him with Tohru’s memories. The threat hadn’t been made yet, and he wanted to keep it that way.
“ Welcome home, Sohma-kun!” Tohru peered around the corner as he opened the front door and kicked off his shoes. “ You’re just in time for dinner!” Yuki nodded and took his seat next to Kyo at the table. He was too tired to make any rude remarks towards him, so he kept quiet.
“ How did things with the student council go?” Tohru asked, as he handed him a bowl of rice.
“ Everything went well.” Yuki said, smiling pleasantly. “ I did have a lot to do though.”
“ It must be hard.” Tohru said, after plating the table.
“ Oh I wish I could go back to high school.” Shigure sighed, staring off into space. “ All those young high school girls.”
“ Don’t be a pervert.” Kyo grunted, digging into his food.
“ Chew your food before you talk, stupid cat.” Yuki said with a scowl.
“ Who asked you, rat boy?!” Kyo yelled in his direction, spraying him with rice.
“ What did I just tell you?” Yuki glared back at him, wiping a grain of rice from his cheek. Kyo stuck his tongue out at him and continued to eat. Damn cat made him so angry he lost his appetite. After dinner, Yuki hurried up to his room to finish up his homework. He knew the last thing he’d want to see after a visit with Akito was unfinished homework. He could hear Kyo yelling about something downstairs, but tuned him out, frowning. About an hour or two into his studies he heard a timid knock upon his door.
“ Come in.” He called, eyeing Tohru as she opened the door to his room.
“ Um, I see your doing homework.” She said, fidgeting slightly. “ May I ask for your help on this English homework? I don’t quite get it.” She glanced at the floor, holding up the English textbook.
“ Of course, Miss Honda.” Yuki said, pulling up a chair next to him and beckoning her towards him.
“ Oh thank you so much, Sohma-kun!” She grinned, sitting next to him and opening her book. “ You’re so kind.”
“ Now what don’t you understand?” He asked, leaning close to her. He was so close, he could smell her shampoo. The floral scent had a calming effect on him, and made him just aware of how tired he was. He watched as she furrowed her brow with thought and stared down at the sentence. He found himself falling into a slight haze, intoxicated by her feminine scent.
“ Sohma-kun?” Her voice snapped him out of his thoughts as she stared up at him, clearly worried.
“ Yes?” He asked, shaking his head slightly.
“ You went quiet all of a sudden, is everything alright?” She asked quietly.
“ Sorry, I was just thinking.” He said, aware of the blush creeping to his cheeks.
“ Here, this is the part I don’t get.” As he helped her along with her homework, it became harder and harder to focus. Her bare shoulder rubbed against his at one point when she reached to turn the page and a shudder ran down his spine. Her skin was so smooth upon his. He couldn’t help as he eyes wandered to her breasts, concealed beneath her pink blouse. He wasn’t sure what he was feeling as he felt his face heat up. When she looked over at him, concern upon her face once more, he snapped himself out of the haze. Oh gods, he was aroused. What a terrible time his body had chosen. He scooted his chair in under the desk further, hoping to conceal the growing tent in his pants.
“ All finished!” She said happily, closing her book and standing. “ Thank you so much!” She said with a bow and hurried out of the room. He sighed, thankful she hadn’t noticed anything. He too was finished with his work for the night so he wandered sleepily to his bed and collapsed upon it. He ignored his erection straining at his pants as he rolled to his side and forced his eyes closed. He needed his sleep, tomorrow would be a long day.

Yuki awoke the next morning, feeling irritated and sleep deprived. He got dressed and trudged down the stairs, hoping for a calming cup of hot tea. As he was pouring his tea, he heard Kyo and Shigure arguing about something.
“ Shut up, it’s too early in the morning for this.” Yuki groaned, seating himself at the table.
“ You shut it, rat!” Kyo growled, running up to his room and slamming the door.
“ Whatever.” Yuki gulped down his tea as Shigure entered the room, beckoning him to the door.
“ Your car is here.” Shigure said, looking apologetic.
“ Thanks.” Yuki sighed, standing and putting his shoes on. The driver beckoned him into the car and they made their way to the main house. Yuki stared out the window at the scenery passing by. He could feel a depression looming over him as the car came to a stop at the familiar gates of the Sohma estate. He slowly stepped out of the car and into the gates, heading directly for Akito’s chambers. He knew the drill by now. As he stepped inside, a weary looking maid greeted him and led him to Akito’s room.
“ The master is in a bad mood today.” She grumbled as she opened the door quietly.
“ Well hello, Yuki.” Akito said from the window, smiling wickedly as he stepped into the cold room. Yuki remained silent, staring at the floor. Akito stood and took a step towards him, adjusting his robes as he did so. Yuki felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up as he drew near. His body tensed up, it’s normal reaction to Akito.
“ Don’t look so frightened.” Akito said softly, drawing away from him and seating himself upon his bed. “ Do not worry, we shall remain here today.” Akito said, with a quiet chuckle. Yuki wondered what he was up to as Akito patted the bed next to him. He always was taken to the dark room and mentally tortured. He knew whatever Akito had in mind, had to be just as bad. “ That’s a good boy.” Akito whispered, as Yuki took his seat next to him. “ You’ve grown into a handsome young man, Yuki.” Akito ran his hand beneath Yuki’s chin, caressing his jaw gently. Yuki pulled away from him, glaring at him furiously. How dare Akito touch him? “ What’s with that look?” Akito smirked at him, reaching out to touch him again.
“ Don’t touch me.” Yuki went to stand from the bed but felt Akito grasp him by the wrist harshly and pull him back down. Akito pushed him into the bed with surprising force and sat on top of him, still smiling sweetly. Yuki struggled against him, trying to sit up. “ What are you doing?!” Yuki gasped as Akito held both his wrists above his head, and pressed all his weight into him so he couldn’t move.
“ Something I’ve been waiting years for.” Akito said, his voice full of venom. Yuki’s eyes widened in horror as Akito came unexpectedly close to his face. “ Stop your struggling.” At the words, Yuki struggled harder against Akito. “ Lest Tohru Honda’s memories will be erased.” Yuki gasped and went limp, slowly closing his eyes in frustration. “ There.” Akito said, pleased. “ Now look at me.” He forcefully grasped Yuki by the chin and wrenched him upward. He was so close now, Yuki could feel their breath mingling.
“ Akito?” Yuki watched as Akito shifted his weight upon him, a strange look in his eyes.
“ Silence.” Akito said, pressing him harder into the bed. It was like he was debating with himself internally. He would stare down at Yuki, like he was about to do something, then pull back with a disapproving look in his eye. Coming to a decision, he slowly leaned forward and pressed his lips against Yuki’s. The kiss was cold but shockingly gentle for Akito. Yuki could feel the beating of his heart increase as Akito pulled away from him, surveying him with a strange look in his eye. If they weren’t so close, Yuki wouldn’t have noticed the faint blush creeping to Akito’s cheeks. He raised an eyebrow, watching the older man as he slowly released him and backed off the bed.
“ Get out.” He growled, returning back to his seat at the window.
“ But-.” Yuki began but Akito whirled around, a wild fury in his eyes.
“ I SAID GET OUT!” He yelled. Yuki jumped and nearly bolted for the door. Yuki hurried out the front doors, ignoring the protests of the maids about running in the halls. He didn’t even bother to wait for a car, as he dashed down the street, running as fast as he could. What the hell was that?! He screamed in his mind, pressing his palm to his lips. He could still feel Akito against him, the way he was so gentle was so unlike him. The man that had tortured him his whole life, had just kissed him in the most gentle and loving way. He came to a halt, panting for breath. He stared down at the pavement, tears welling up in his eyes. What frustrated him the most, was that it wasn’t so bad. He should have been completely disgusted by it, but he wasn’t. He slowly trudged home, deep in thought about the days events. He sighed, frustrated with himself for not fighting more. No matter how much he denied it, it did feel good, he admitted to himself. He quietly entered the house, not wanting to be bothered in this particular state of mind. He hurried up to his room and collapsed onto his bed, suddenly feeling exhausted. He just wanted to rid his mind of everything that had happened with Akito.
