After about twenty minutes of kissing Koki and Kame pull back for some much needed air, when Kame answers his new boyfriend’s question from a little bit ago.
“ Nice answer huh?” he asks with a cheeky grin.
“ Cheeky aren’t you?” Koki says with a chuckle as he leans in to capture Kame’s lips again, while he straddles him at the same time.
“hahaha..yeah.” Kame says softly reaching up to cup the back of his boyfriend’s head.
Their lips were just about to touch when the sounds of laughter reach their ears, remembering where they were...they immediately broke apart and quickly started kicking the soccer ball around just as their best friend Keto shows up with some guy neither Koki nor Kame’s seen before.
Spotting the pair on the soccer field Keto shouts to get their attention causing Koki and Kame to stop their impromptu match.
“ Koki! Kazu!” Keto jogs over with the stranger right behind him, “ Hey guys...”
“ Who’s he and why is he on my field?” Koki asks suspicious all of a sudden.
“ Koki.” was all Kame said while giving him a ‘be nice, will you?” look.
“ Oh right sorry. Koki...Kame, this Reio. He’s new here and I’m just giving him an after school activities tour of the different sports.” he says as Kame and Koki just continue to stare. “ Reio this Tanaka Koki and Kamenashi Kazuya.”
“Nice to meet you Tanaka-kun and you too Kame.” Reio says as Kame just raises an eyebrow.
“ Is this how you greet all your senpai’s that you think you’re just going to get close too right off the bat?” Koki asks as he loops his finger in the belt loop of Kame’s jeans, behind his back so Keto and Reio can’t see, and gently tugs him backwards.
Getting Koki’s hint, Kame steps back so he’s shoulder to shoulder with Koki as he says, “ Call me Kamenashi-kun, not Kame.”
“ But I heard that everyone calls you ‘Kame’.” he explains.
“ The only ones that call me Kame or any thing else more intimate are my closest friends, team mates and little kids, not people I just meet. I’ll see you later Keto.” Kame snorts and walks back towards Koki’s car.
With Kame gone Koki asks, “ Reio-kun, how old are you?”
“15 why?” he answers.
“ Then you should know how to greet people properly. Later Keto.” Koki says and follows Kame back to the car.
“ Sorry about that Keto-chan, I was just nervous and it sorta slipped out.”
“Its okay Reio-kun, greet properly next time and it should ease the tension next time you three meet in the halls or something.” he says with a smile.
“ Can I ask you something? Kamenashi-kun is cute does he have a girlfriend?” Reio asks as they are walking back towards the school building.
“ So you like Kamenashi-kun huh? I wouldn’t go there if I were you...its not safe for you to do so.” Keto warns.
“ Why?”
“ Well for one thing Tanaka-kun isn’t going to allow you anywhere near Kamenashi-san without him being right there. He’s very protective of his best friend and it has a lot to do with Kamenashi-kun’s past.”
“ What happened?”
“ That’s not my story to tell and I won’t tell you behind their backs. So just don’t even try to get Kamenashi’s attention that way. Unless you grew up with them, Tanaka’s not going to let anyone they don’t know or trust enough to keep Kame for longer than he’s comfortable with.”
“ You mean that Tanaka-kun controls everything that his friend does?” Reio asks outraged.
“ Oh god no, Kamenashi-kun would kill him if he tried and Tanaka-kun’s not that kind of person. A lot of it is Kamenashi’s doing, he chooses to spend most of his time with Tanaka-san even when we’re hanging around in a group, their closeness is not something that you can just get in the middle of.” he finishes as they wait for Reio’s dad to pick him up.
Back at Koki’s and Kame’s house:
No sooner do they walk through the front door does Koki throw his keys across the room, where they land in a corner some where. Fuming he storms into the kitchen and chugs an entire can of coke in one go and that’s when he sees the note his parents left them saying that they won’t be home until ten or so.
“ Hey, you okay?” Kame whispers in Koki’s ear snaking his arms around Koki’s torso cuddling to his back. “ What’s that?”
“ I’ll be fine, just the new kid pissed me off and he made it no secret that he fancies you. If he thinks he can waltz into our school and snatch you away from me he’s got another thing coming Kame. Oh this....its just a note saying that my parents won’t be home until ten tonight.” Koki says as he turns to face his lover.
“ Oh come on sugar, that kid couldn’t have been no more than 15 yrs. old. Besides, I prefer an older guy who knows what he’s doing.” Kame says nipping Koki’s bottom lip.
Getting the hint, Koki’s lips part just enough for Kame to slip his tongue in to slowly explore the inside of the older guy’s mouth. Moaning Koki feels his anger starting to subside as Kame’s hands slide up under his t-shirt, pulling it up and over his head. Koki’s shirt slides from Kame’s fingers and onto the floor as Koki undoes the buttons of Kame’s shirt and slips it from his shoulders as he kisses down that swan-like neck he loves so much.
Pulling away Koki asks, “ How do you know for sure that I know what I’m doing?”
“ You’re not exactly a virgin Koki, nor am I.”
“ Good point.” he says as Kame pulls him back in for another searing kiss as Koki undoes the buckle on Kame’s jeans, whipping it off surprisingly fast.
Koki was about to start on the aluminum button when the door bell rang. Groaning they pull away and after Kame’s done putting himself back together, Koki goes to answer the door as he’s pulling his shirt on in the process.
“ Oh hey Wataru, what’s up?” Koki says and lets Kame’s new team mate in the house.
“ Hi Tanaka-kun, I was just...”
“ How many times do I have to tell you to just call me Koki.”
“ Sorry, I was just wondering if I can possibly borrow Kame-chan for a bit? Its baseball related but I thought it would be wise to ask in case you two had something to do.” he says just as Kame walks in wondering where on earth his partner ran off to.
“Koki who...” he stops when he sees the new kid from his team, “Oh hey Wataru-kun, how’s it going?”
“ Hey Kame-chan, I was hoping I could borrow you for a bit. I was wondering if you had the time to help me with my batting? The coach says I’m almost where I need to be, but with me being an only child I don’t have anyone to practice with outside the team.”
“ Why push yourself so hard Wataru? There’s no harm in taking your time to develop your skills.” Koki says
“ Well, we have a big game coming up right after the spring holidays and I was hoping to be good enough by then to be able to do more for the team.”
“ I can see the logic in that, just remember to still have fun in the process.” Koki says with a friendly smile.
“ Yeah sure. I’ll pitch you a few Wataru, wait for me outside by my car. I just have to get my glove.”
“ Okay and thanks again Kame-chan...Koki-kun.” he says and waits outside by Kame’s car.
When he’s gone Koki waits at the bottom of the stairs while Kame went to get his glove. He comes back down with glove and keys in hand and heads to the door with Koki right behind him.
“ I’ll be back in an hour..two tops. You want to come with?” Kame asks.
“ Nah, you go ahead. Unlike you, I have homework to do. Just make sure you’re back in time so I can take a ‘study’ break.” he says with a lecherous smile and a predatory glint in his eyes.
“ Sure thing Koki, love you.”
“ Love you too, Kame.” Koki says and kisses him good bye.
He watches as Kame and Wataru head off to the baseball field near Wataru’s house. Once out of sight Koki gets started on his homework while Kame’s gone. An hour-an a half goes by and Kame’s still not back yet, so he starts on the only thing he has to finish...his history paper. The clock on the wall strikes three when Kame finally comes home all sweaty from the hot sun.
“ Koki! I’m back! Koki?” Kame calls.
“ In here Kazuya!” Koki answers from the dining room.
“ Hi, how goes the homework?” Kame asks kissing the top of Koki’s head.
“ Fine, I’m about done actually. Did Wataru’s hitting improve any?”
“ Not as much as he’d like but he’s better than what he was. I’m going to take a shower now...wanna join me?” Kame asks dropping his voice seductively as he sits in Koki’s lap sucking on his ear lobe.
“ With pleasure.” Koki breaths out as Kame starts rubbing himself against his boyfriend.
Kame vacates Koki’s lap and pulls him towards the stairs and their room, luckily they have their own bathroom. Once inside their bedroom Koki attacks Kame’s neck with his lips and tongue, before they realize it they’re both naked and in the shower with hot water streaming down their bodies. Koki pushes Kame against the chilly shower wall and plants butterfly kisses down his neck and chest, going lower until he reaches his intended destination. He kneels down and swallows Kame’s rock hard cock and starts sucking him off.
“ Oh...Koki...un...I’m..gonna...” Kame warns as he tugs on Koki’s hair.
Koki just looks up, grins and increases the pressure of his lips and tongue, causing Kame to moan as he’s coming hard and fast inside the older guy’s mouth. Swallowing Koki stands up, his feet slipping a little on the wet floor, and shoves his tongue down Kame’s throat once more. He doesn’t mind the taste of his juices on Koki’s tongue as it hits his own, it just turns him on even more. He’s still hard and horny as Koki rubs their erections together enjoying the friction it causes.
“ Koki...I want...hurry..” Kame pants as his words stick in his throat.
Not wanting to disappoint, Koki reaches for the lube and after applying some to his fingers he runs a slick finger around Kame’s entrance and finally slips in garnering a small whimper of pain to escape Kame’s lips. To distract him Koki plants light kisses on the skin on Kame’s face and finally his lips to distract him from the pain, he eventually adjusts thus allowing Koki to start moving his finger in and out of the younger man’s body. Sensing Kame can take it he adds another, he scissors Kame until his small cries of pain turn into that of pleasure and desire. By the time Koki has three fingers inside working against his prostrate...Kame is virtually fucking himself on Koki’s hand.
Not being able to wait any longer Koki removes his fingers and lifts one of Kame’s legs to hook and lock around his back, he gently and carefully pushes in. But its hard to be careful when it feels so fucking wonderful to finally feel Kame around him, pretty soon the sounds of sex fill the silence of the bathroom as Koki slides in and out of Kame.
“ Oh Koki...h-harder...” Kame presses out as his hips push back to meet Koki’s own.
“ Oh Kazuya...s-so..g-good.” Koki moans as his breathing becomes shallow and ragged against Kame’s neck.
“ Ah...K-Koki...damn...I’m gonna...” Kame warns.
Sensing Kame’s reached his limit and that his own climax is near, Koki wraps his free hand around his younger lover’s hard on and pumps his hand in time with his thrusts, causing Kame to come hard and fast over his fingers gluing their bellies together as he claws at what ever part of Koki’s back he could reach. Feeling Kame’s muscles tighten around his length has Koki coming a minute later as he fights to push through the resistance of Kame’s body, spilling his seed as he does so. He gently pulls out and leans against Kame, after they both get done seeing stars Koki turns Kame around and throughly cleans him so his health isn’t in danger. When he’s done they finish their shower.
After climbing out and drying off, they put their clothes on and Koki helps Kame down the stairs. Kame sits on the couch with Koki next to him and that’s when Koki asks...
“ How do you feel?” since its their first time he wants to know how much pain, if any, Kame’s in.
“ My back hurts a little, but nothing major.” Kame answers as Koki hands him some asprin he brought down with them, “ Its okay though, baby, the pleasure out weighs the pain any day. If its not better by the time your parents get home I can always say I did it during gym or something. Now go finish your homework while I watch tv.”
“ Okay, I’ll be back.” Koki gives Kame a chaste kiss as he goes back to his history paper.
Five minutes later Koki joins his lover on the couch, where they start watching some music program.
“ What do you want to do for dinner, Kazuya?” Koki asks wrapping an arm around Kame’s waist pulling him closer, taking the opportunity to hold Kame while his parents are still at work.
“ Hmm...well seeing as we already had the main course. How about Pizza for dessert?” Kame asks grinning.
“ Cute. But okay sure..pizza it is then.” Koki laughs and grabs his phone.
“ Oh hey, how about a movie too?” Kame asks.
“ Whatever you want Kame. Which movie?” Koki grins.
He thinks about it for a minute before saying, “ The Matrix 2. I have been wanting to see it for quite sometime now.”
“ How about I make it date night then?” Koki asks.
As an answer Kame just kisses him for all he’s worth. After Kame’s had enough of fucking the inside of the Koki’s mouth with his tongue, they grab their keys, leave a note for koki’s parents just in case they get home before Koki and Kame do, and head out on their date. They pull up to the theater where the movie was playing, grab their tickets and head inside, that’s where Koki has an unpleasant meeting with the new kid that wants to chase his boyfriend.
“ Oh hey Tanaka-kun, fancy meeting you here.” Reio says.
“ What do you want?” Koki asks annoyed, “ Other than to sink your claws into Kazuya.”
“ Just that and to be friendly.” he says as Kame walks over from where he was getting their drinks.
“ Reio-kun wasn’t it?”
“Yes, it is Kamenashi-kun.” he says making sure to greet properly.
“ To what do we owe the pleasure?” he asks as Koki just leans on him.
“ Nothing, I’m just here with some friends. We tried to see the new Keanu Reeves movie but they wouldn’t sell us tickets.” he explains as his two friends come over.
“ Hey Reio...what’s?” He stops when he sees Kame and Koki.
“ Oh hey Kame-chan, Koki-kun. Thanks again for the help this afternoon.” Wataru says.
“ Anytime Wataru.” Koki and Kame say in unison, then all three burst out laughing.
“ How come he gets to call you that?” Reio asks once all three have stopped laughing.
“ He’s my team mate on the Baseball team, that’s why.”
“ I have an idea, how about the five of us see a movie together?” Reio suggests.
Koki gently tugs on the back of Kame’s belt loop to get him to step back a bit. Smiling at his partner’s jealousy and protectiveness, Kame does as he asked and stands just behind Koki’s right shoulder.
“ Nah...i’m sure Koki-kun and Kame-chan just want to hang out by themselves. Besides, they’re seeing a totally different movie than we are.” Wataru says noticing the tickets for The Matrix 2 in Kame’s hand and the death glare Koki’s sending Reio’s way.
“ Wataru’s right, Reio. Now let’s go and get our seats. We’ll see you inside Wataru.” the other kid says as he wisely drags Reio away from Koki’s vicinity.
“ Can that kid be anymore obvious, sheesh! Hey you coming to the big match in two weeks Koki-kun?” Wataru asks, even he noticed Reio’s crush on Kame.
“ If I don’t have a match of my own or practice then yeah I’ll be there to support the team and you and Kazu.” Koki says.
“ Well, I’ll see you later Wataru. Enjoy your movie.” Kame says.
“ You too.” Wataru responds with a wink and hurries to catch his movie.
With Wataru and his friends gone Kame and Koki head in the opposite direction to start their date. Once inside Kame asks Koki what Reio said to him that made Koki tug on his jeans like that.
“ I asked him what he wanted? That’s when he told me what I already knew.” he answers.
“ Don’t tell me this kid is actually dumb enough to try and get between us, when I’m sure Keto warned him not too?” Kame asks.
“ Yes he is. Kinda pointless really when it won’t work.” Koki says with a grin.
“ Oh I don’t know Koki...he plays his cards right he just might be able to snatch me away.” Kame teases.
“ Kame!” Koki says pouting as the lights go out.
Kame just chuckles and locks his fingers with Koki’s before saying, “ Don’t pout baby, I’m just teasing. You know I would never leave you, don’t you?” he tries to hide the uncertainty in his voice.
“ Yeah I know.” Koki smiles as the movie starts.
Three hours later they head to the restaurant to eat dinner and dessert. They get home about eight o’clock, Koki’s about to unlock the front door when a car pulls into his drive way.
“ Koki? Where you expecting company?” Kame asks.
“ No, I wasn’t. You?”
“ Nope.”
A woman gets out and starts walking towards the couple, instinctively Kame stands directly behind Koki. Which is something he’s done on very few occasions when he was nervous and alot of the time what he feared never came to fruition...until tonight. Ever since his parents died, and while it was in their will that Koki’s parent’s would take Kame in should any thing ever happen to them, he always feared that some distant relative would come and try to take him away...especially after he got that insurance money from the accident. Unfortunately, tonight his worst fear just may come true.
“ Kame? What’s the matter?” Koki asks but Kame doesn’t answer. “ Unlock the door just in case.” Koki mutters as quietly as the woman gets closer, Kame nods and has the door unlocked just as she stops in front of them.
“ Can I help you?” Koki asks politely.
“ Kame...its me. Don’t you remember me?” she asks speaking directly to Kame.
“ Who are you?” Koki asks but again she pretends she doesn’t hear him.
“....” Kame says nothing, but grips the back of Koki’s shirt like his very life depended on it.
Feeling the fabric on his back tighten Koki looks from Kame to the woman standing in front of them. He’s pretty sure that if Kame remembered her he would say something, but Koki also knows that Kame’s always been afraid that a distant relation would come to try and collect him, and separate him from the only place he’s known and found safety in for that past 7yrs. It was that fear that has now kicked in.
“ Its me..Kame.” the woman says again and when she reaches for him, Kame flinches. She doesn’t give up, “ Come on Kazuya, now cut that out. Come out here where I can see you properly.”
Kame just shakes his head and tightens his hold on his partner’s shirt.
“ I don’t know who you are, but its clear he doesn’t know you.” Koki says and pushes Kame closer to the front door, never moving from in front of him.
“ Of course he does, he’s just being stubborn.” she says speaking to Koki for the first time before turning her attention back to Kame, “ Kame dear...do as you’re told and come out from behind him...NOW!” she orders trying to reach around Koki, Koki just slaps her hand away.
“ Oi! Leave him alone!”
“ Why you....how dare you hit a lady!” She fumes and slaps Koki across the face. “ Hey! Koijiro...come over and get him will you!” She calls.
They see a guy, slightly taller than Koki, get out of the car. He comes over and says...
“ You heard the lady Kazuya...now come on!” Koijiro makes a grab for Kame but Koki just pushes him backwards.
“ Hey I said leave him alone! He doesn’t know either of you and you’re not taking Kame anywhere! You got that!”
“ Why you insolent little...” Koijiro says trying to force Koki out of the way.
“ Get off jerk!” He yells and sends a right hook Koijiro’s way, making contact with his jaw. “ Kame...run! Get inside and lock the door!” Koki says as he ducks from the other’s attempts to punch him.
“ But Koki...”
“ No buts...GO!” Kame nods and runs inside the house.
“ KAZUYA!! GET BACK OUT HERE NOW!!” the woman yells just as Koki’s parents get home.
“ HEY! Let go of my son!” Koki’s father shouts and pulls Koijiro off of Koki.
“ What’s going on?” his mom asks as Koki spits out the blood from his bleeding lip.
“ Kame and I just back from the movies and dinner, when these two pull up. She says she knows Kame, but Kame as no idea who she is. She and her friend here tried to pull him out from where he was...standing right behind me. I asked her politely twice who she was and tried to tell her that Kame has no idea who she is but she wouldn’t listen and that’s when she made a grab for Kazu and I gently swatted her hand away.” Koki explains as he mimics on his mom’s hand what he did.
“ Then she calls for this guy and he tried to make Kame move as well, so I shoved him away and told Kame to run for it. That’s how we wound up fighting when you guys got home, I saw the fear in Kame’s eyes...he doesn’t know them and he’s afraid that they’re here to take him away.” He finishes.
“ Where is Kazuya now, Koki?” his mom asks.
“ He should still be in house somewhere, that’s where I told him to go.”
“ You go inside with Kame, dear and we’ll deal with this. Oh and stop your lip from bleeding.” she says.
Koki just nods and heads inside to find his boyfriend. He looks all over the downstairs and even in the back yard, before finding their bedroom door locked. Realizing he’s found where Kame ran off to, he calls through the door...
“ Kame, its just me! Open up!” he hears the door unlock just as the sounds of voices flow up the stairs and into his ears before fading away.
“ There you are sugar.” Koki says as he shuts the door behind him.
“ Koki!” Kame says with relief and throws himself into Koki’s arms.
“ Are you okay? Do you recognize that woman, Kame?” he asks.
“ No, I don’t. But she knows me it seems, I’m afraid Koki. What if she’s here to take me with her?” he whispers his fears into the crook of Koki’s neck.
“ I don’t see how she can, Kame. Legally my parents are your legal guardians and your parents made sure that will was non-contestable.” he says tightening his hold on Kame all the same.
Kame eventually pulls back and that’s when he sees Koki’s bloody lip, he pulls Koki into the bathroom and starts cleaning him up.
“ How’s your lip?” he asks kissing the cut as Koki uses some tissue to stem the blood flow.
“Better now that you did that.” Koki smiles as they come out of the bathroom.
“ Koki, Kame? Could the two of you come down stairs for a minute.” Koki’s dad says poking his head around their door.
“ We’ll be right down.” Koki says, nodding Mr. Tanaka leaves the two guys alone.
“ Koki..” Kame starts but Koki cuts him off.
“ Its okay, baby. Besides, staying up here isn’t going to solve the mystery now is it?”
“ No, I guess not.” Kame sighs as they head downstairs and into the living room.
When they enter the living room Koki sits in the arm chair by the mantle as Kame goes to sit next to him, he passes the strange woman and her companion...he feels fingers enclose his wrist making him stop in his tracks. He looks at Koki with same fear he had earlier that night, eyes silently pleading for help.
“Kame dear, come sit next to me.” she says.
“Um, th-that’s okay.” he replies as he tries to free his wrist her grip tightens.
Next thing anyone in the room knew, Kame was being pulled onto the couch all the while fighting to get free and back to the only person that he feels a sense of safety with, Koki.
“ I said sit here!” she grunted and with one final tug Kame was seated on the couch.
“ Kame...” Koki moved to rescue him but his dad stopped him.
“ Koki...” noticing the stern look his father now gave him, he knew he had no choice but to sit back down in his chair. Giving Kame a look that clearly says how sorry he is, Kame just nods slightly as if to say “its okay, we don’t want to your parent’s to find out about us, now do we.”
“ So, who are they? And why are they here” Koki asks.
“ Apparently this Kame’s mother’s sister. She heard about her sister’s death and has come to take Kame back with her.” his dad says.
“Then why doesn’t Kazu remember her then?”
“Because he was only two when her and his mother stopped having anything to do with each other and he’s only seen her once.”
“ Oh please, she’s just after his money.” Koki snorts. “ Besides, I thought that legally you guys were Kame’s guardians and that their will made it to where Kame’s living arrangements could not legally be changed?”
“ We are and legally she has no claim on him or his money, but she’s come here to...” his mom starts but the other lady cuts her off.
“ I’m Sakano Kamenashi and I have come to see if Kazuya will come back with me. I haven’t seen him since he was a baby and I would love to get to know him.”
As she was talking the only thing Kame could think of was that his greatest fear came true, someone had come to try and take him away from the only home he’s known for the past 7yrs, and what’s worse is that they’re trying to separate him and Koki. Getting more and more uncomfortable by the minute, his leg starts to bounce nervously up and down, noticing this Koki nudges his dad and points to Kame’s leg...whispering how afraid and nervous Kame is.
“ Kazuya, you can go sit by Koki. Its your house too and she’s got no right to force you to sit where you don’t want too.” Kame moves to get up but his Aunt stops him.
“ Just where do you thin...” she starts but Mr. Tanaka cuts across her.
“ He’s still in my house and therefore still has to do what I tell him.”
She lets Kame up and his dad tells him to go and sit by Koki. He does so and immediately starts to feel calmer. Noticing the sudden change in Kame’s body, Koki’s parents know that, even if she does fight them for custody, come hell or high water Kame won’t last living with her and that he feels safer having Koki near him.
Koki lays his hand on Kame’s shoulder when his Aunt asks,
“ Will you come and live with me Kazuya? That way it will take the burden off of the Tanaka’s and we can get to know each other.”
After hearing that she thinks Kame’s been nothing but a burden to them after all these years causes Koki’s grip to tighten, while Koki’s mom just glares at the very idea that someone could imply that her closet friend’s son would ever be such a thing.
“ I’m sorry but my answer is no, I won’t come and live with you. My home is here as are the only parent’s I have known for the last 7 yrs of my life. You won’t understand this but what I lost all those years ago, I was finally able to get back by being here.” Here he looks to Koki and then Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka, “ I owe them lot and I’m not about to walk away.” Kame finishes, causing Koki’s mom to tear up.
“ But Kazuya...I’m sure they want what is best for you. I think that its best if you come with me.” Sakano says not giving up.
“ Why? I have no memory of you and I think if either one of my parent’s thought me living with someone other than the Tanakas was a good idea...then I wouldn’t still be here. You can make all the promises you want, you can give me all gifts you want but what I would lose by leaving I could never get back. Its not a price I’m willing to pay, thank you for the offer but no thanks.” Kame says with such finality that where him and Koki are concerned the matter is settled.
“ But Kazuya...” she starts but Koki’s dad cuts her off.
“ Well you heard his answer, Mrs. Kamenashi, Kame doesn’t want to go.” He says.
“ You’re his parents...talk to him. He listens to you, Mr. Tanaka, make him come with me.” she pleads.
“ I’m sorry but I will not make him live where he’s not comfortable.” he answers.
“ Why is Kame coming to live with you so important anyway? You’re the first person to come and try to collect him, no one else in his family ever tried to take him away..not even when we were kids. You weren’t even there when the will was read.” Koki asks.
“ Because we’re family and what happened between me and his mother, is not Kazuya’s fault. I feel I owe it to his mom to look after her only son.” She says, careful not to divulge the real reason...Kame’s insurance money from the accident.
“ Family huh? Were you around when his family was taken from him? Did you have to watch him suffer from nightmares and intense feelings of abandonment? Did you have to listen to him cry himself to sleep night after night wondering why this happened to him? Did you have to feel helpless each and every single time he had nightmares, knowing that there wasn't a damn thing you could do to take his pain away? No, you didn’t! I find it hard to believe that you just found out that his family is now gone, when it was all over the tv news and in the newspapers!” Koki yells. He was furious at the lies that keep pouring from this woman’s lips, he knows in his gut that she’s just after his partner’s money.
“ Son..calm down!” his dad says.
“ But dad...she’s just....”
“ I said stop it!” His dad shouts.
“ Kame..why don’t you Koki go upstairs. We’ll finish up here.” his mom says.
“ Okay.” he says as he drags Koki from the living room.
“ Oh and Kame, try to get Koki to calm down will you?” he says with a wink. Koki’s dad always knew there was something else going on between Koki and Kame, that went far beyond best friends and it makes him smile.
Kame nods and pushes Koki up the stairs and into their bedroom. Once inside he locks their door and turns on the stereo, keeping volume high enough to cover any noises but low enough so as not to annoy Koki’s parents. Noticing that Koki’s still pissed Kame just walks over and shoves his tongue down his boyfriend’s throat.
Pulling back Koki asks, “ Kame...what are you doing? My parents are just down stairs.”
“ I know, but your dad did tell me to calm you down, didn’t he? Besides, I think he’s figured us out anyway and as long as we’re not louder than the music we should be fine.” Kame says pushing Koki down on his bed. Luckily Kame set Koki’s Korn cd on loop before attacking him. “ Not only that your temper turns me on, you aren't going to leave me like this...are you?” he nips at his lover’s throat.
“ No, I guess if your that in need for attention I can’t refuse.” Koki says as he pulls Kame down on top of him.
Back downstairs:
Hearing the thud of music coming from the bedroom upstairs, Mr. Tanaka smiles and turns his attention back to Kame’s Aunt.
“ You heard Kame’s answer and my son’s response. We aren’t going to force Kame to live where he doesn’t feel safe and comfortable. He’s happy here and as his aunt you should respect his wishes...” he leads Mrs. Kamenashi and her male friend to the door, “ and never come around here again. It will only stress him out and he’s in a really good place right now and I will not allow you to mess that up. Now, good day.” he says as they start walking away, as he shuts the door he hears Sakano’s male friend ask her how they were going to get their hands on her nephew’s money now.
They get in the car and drive off leaving the Tanaka household in peace for the time being, not realizing that Koki’s dad heard the question regarding Kame and his inheritance. He goes into the kitchen and where his wife has tea ready for him, the sounds of the music having ended sometime ago.
“ Are you alright dear? You look troubled.” his wife asked setting his cup down.
“ It seems Koki’s instincts are dead on, she’s just after his money.” He says.
“ Do you think she’ll try and take him regardless of the fact that legally she has no claim him?” his wife asks.
“ I don’t know dear, but I think I will contact our lawyer in the morning...just in case. I know Kazuya and I know if he’s taken from us...mentally we’ll never see him again. He’s suffered a lot at an early age and the doctor did say that as he continues to get older more and more of what happened is going to come back to him. He still doesn’t remember what exactly happened that day and the doctor warned us that eventually he won’t be able to suppress the memories. That’s why his doctor said that medically he can’t be anywhere else, nor do I think it wise to separate him from the only person that makes him feel safe to the point that he can function by himself and around other people normally.”
“ I still don’t think we should’ve put that kind of weight on Koki’s shoulders, dear.” she says.
“ Koki was adamant that he could handle it and that he didn’t mind being Kame’s support system, besides those two are a lot closer than they let on and I think that Koki’s love will do wonders in helping Kame to finish healing and eventually to help him deal with what happened once it does surface. Besides, they can always adopt anyway and family is family regardless of blood.” his dad finishes.
Koki, who was listening to the entire conversation, quietly goes back up stairs to where Kame was changing the sheets on Koki’s bed. -Kame was right...my parents do know- koki thought as he opened their bedroom door and pulls Kame into his arms, hugging him tightly...never wanting to let go.
“Koki....what the...are you alright?” he asks taken aback.
“ Its just that I was right and she’s only after your money. My parents aren’t sure if she’s going to try and challenge the will or not and they started talking about you and how we had to take you to see a therapist. You were right...my dad did figure us out and I don’t want to lose you, sugar.”
“ Koki...” was all Kame could say. Like Kame, Koki never really got over what happened but while Kame’s still recovering...Koki has to stay strong and push away what happened and the pain he felt, and still feels over the fact that there’s really nothing he can do for Kame.
“ I just wish I could take all your pain away, but I can’t. All I can do is just sit back and wait until you break down and the memory of what happened to you that day comes to the surface.” Koki says feeling completely useless.
“ Koki...I know what you’re holding in and I really hope you never get to go through what I did. I lost one set..I couldn’t stand to lose another set of parents. But you are helping me, baby, more than you’ll ever know. If you didn’t love me, even before you realized the true nature of your feelings, then I never would’ve made as much progress as I have. I know you feel helpless and that you wish you could do more for my recovery, but Koki you’re doing more than enough already.” Kame says trying to comfort his boyfriend.
“ Really Kame?”
“ Yes, really. Do you think anyone else can make me feel as safe and secure as you do? Do you think anyone else’s love can help heal me? That’s why just because I tease you that someone else might be able to steal me from you, you shouldn’t let it bother you. I can and would never leave you, I love you way too much. I want grow old with you and maybe have a family with you someday, of course we would have to adopt but still...I want and need only you.”
“ I’m glad Kame. But it still hurts to see you go through this, but at least you don’t feel like you are doing it alone.” he says and lightly kisses Kame’s lips.
Suddenly there was a knock on their door, Kame walks over let’s Koki’s dad come in.
“ Hey guys, Koki’s calm down significantly I see. Maybe that will work with your mother. Anyway, its late so I will save our talk for tomorrow. Don’t worry boys you’re not in trouble or anything, so you can wipe that look from your faces but we do need to have an important conversation.”
“ What about?” Kame asks.
“ About that woman who was here earlier. Well, goodnight. Oh and please it keep down, your mother and I need to get up rather early tomorrow.” he says and gives them wink before retiring to his room for the night.
Realizing just how tired they were, Kame and Koki quietly push their beds together. After a quick shower, they climb in bed, falling asleep in each other’s arms happy that they don’t have to hide their relationship from Koki’s parents.
It was three in the morning when Koki was woken up by someone screaming and that someone just happened to Kame..
“ NO!” Kame was panting heavily and shaking uncontrollably.
“ Hey Kame, what’s wrong? You’re shaking like mad.” he asks, wrapping his arms around Kame’s naked body.
“ We heard someone scream.” Koki’s mom says as she bursts into the room.
“ Yeah it was Kame. He won’t tell me about it, but I think the appearance of that woman triggered his once dormant nightmares. You know, the ones that we thought he manage to get rid of?” Koki tells his mom just as his dad comes in.
“ Its okay, Kazu. It was just a dream, you’re safe and sound in our house.” Koki says reassuringly into Kame’s hair.
“ Its okay, son. I’m here and so is Koki’s dad...you’re not going to go anywhere you don’t want to go.” she says pulling Kame away from Koki, while Koki makes sure they stay covered from the waist down.
Calming down, Kame just nods and smiles gratefully as he gently pulls away and sinking back into Koki’s arms.
“ I know you’re just trying to comfort me, but I feel safer here. I’m sorry.” he says with a guilt ridden expression.
“ We understand Kame, we’re not upset. Now try and get some sleep okay?” she says as her and her husband go back to their room.
“ Wanna talk about it? Maybe I can’t take these night terrors from you but I can at least listen.” Koki asks as he kisses Kame’s shoulder.
“ Sure.” with that Kame tells Koki about his dream and what happened in it.
When Kame was done, Koki captures Kame’s lips and spends the rest of the night helping Kame to forget that wretched nightmare, while making sure to muffle their cries and moans with their lips.
The next day after their shower, they head down to make breakfast for the two of them seeing as Koki’s parents were already at work.
“ You feel up for school and Baseball practice?” Koki asks.
“ Not really but this is the last practice before the spring holidays start. I just wish you could be there, Koki.” he answers back.
“ I know love. If I can manage it, I’ll try and get practice done early to come and collect you. Even if I can’t I will definitely come and get you, ok? But I can’t promise you though.”
“ I know baby.” Kame says, mentally going through Koki’s soccer practice schedule.
With that they head off to school, its just lucky that Kame and Koki have all the same classes, albeit in separate classrooms, but in the same hallways..save two, which are the only ones where they are separated from each other, helps Kame to not freak out. After lunch Kame has a run in with Reio, who still won’t leave well enough alone and find someone else.
“ Oh hey Kamenashi-chan..heading to your next class. We can go together since I’m heading that way myself.”
“Um, that’s okay Reio-kun. I’m waiting for Koki to get done talking with his coach.” Kame says fidgeting with hem of his shirt.
“ Are you okay, you seem rather nervous?” Reio asks just as Koki walks up and leans against Kame.
“ He’s fine and stay out of our business and away from Kame.” he says.
“ I’m fine, its nothing.”
“ Let’s go Kame.” Koki says as they head to their last class of the day.
On the way Koki tells Kame that he couldn’t get practiced shortened, not with their conference finals coming up. Kame assures Koki that he’ll manage as they sit down and start taking notes. After class ends they head off to their separate practices, where Wataru makes sure to send Koki updates on how Kame’s doing since Wataru’s one of the few people, outside their core group of friends, who knew about Kame’s past and that he’s still recovering from it mentally.
Kame’s coach noticed that his ace pitcher/shortstop was off his game today, he pulls Kame aside and asks him what’s wrong. Kame tells his coach that his nightmares have came back and he’s just anxious without his friend being around. The coaches and teachers knew about the whole ordeal and usually tried as best they could to accommodate Kame and Koki but sometimes it just wasn’t possible. Being the sympathetic guy he is, Kame’s coach allows him to leave practice early since by the sounds of it this one of Kame’s bad days mentally. He knows when Kame’s on form that his team rarely loses and with the play offs coming up, he wants his ace player in top condition.
Grateful that he was able to leave, Kame heads straight for the soccer field and Koki. Koki had a hard time concentrating as well but the rest of his team knew that his mind was rightfully somewhere else..on Kame..and since they know what Kame’s been dealing with for many years now, they don’t give Koki a hard time. Normally they have a few rounds of good-natured trolling to enhance performance but there are just some lines that shouldn’t be crossed and Kame’s issues is one of them.
“ Hey Kamenashi-chan!” Reio shouts running to catch up.
Kame just looks back and sees someone running towards him, instead of seeing Reio he sees the masked person from his dream. Freaking out he runs at top speed towards the soccer field, praying that Koki was still there. Kame trips causing Reio to catch up with him and when he grabs Kame’s hand to help him up...Kame pushes him away and takes off again.
“ Kamenashi-chan!” Reio calls just Keto comes over.
“ What’s the matter Reio-kun?” he asks.
“ Its Kamenashi-chan. I tried to get his attention to see if he could point in me the direction of the track and field try outs. But when he turned and saw me running to catch up he just took off, I was able to catch up when he tripped and fell. When I went to pull him up, I don’t know, his gaze held nothing but extreme fear and he just tore off in that direction.” he says pointing in the direction of the soccer field.
“ That’s stran....Shit!...I gotta go! Stay here.” Keto says remembering the conversation he had with Koki this morning, when they filled their friends in on Kame’s night terror, he takes off after Kame.
Being curious as hell and not doing the wise thing by staying put, Reio goes after Keto.
“ So how bad is he this time?” Ren asks Koki as they are taking a break.
“ He didn’t want to come to school, much less practice, today.” Koki answers.
“ Hey Koki! Isn’t that Kame?” Ko asks.
“ Yeah it is..what’s he doing here?” Koki asks standing up.
Seeing that Koki is still at practice sends waves of relief through Kame’s body. Next thing Koki knows Kame’s running right into him, wrapping his arms around his waist.
“ Whoa! Kame what’s the matter?” Koki asks, wrapping his own arms around Kame’s back.
“ Yeah are you okay Kazu? You look like you have seen have ghost or something?” Ren asks.
All they get out of him is something about a strange guy in a mask.
“ A guy in a mask?” Ko asks just as Keto comes to a halt beside Ren.
Kame just points to the figure running their direction never letting go of Koki’s jersey. As the figure gets closer Koki and the others see that its just the annoying new kid Reio.
“ Its okay Kame...its just that new kid Reio something or other.” Ko says with a sympathetic smile.
“ Ren’s right Kame..its just Reio.” Koki assures his boyfriend. “ There is no masked man, it was just a dream.”
Kame plucks up the courage to look behind him just as Reio stops a few feet away. Seeing that Koki and the others were right, Kame feels relieved and embarrassed at the same time.
“ I feel like an idiot. I am sorry if I disrupted your practice.” Kame chuckles but he’s still shaking slightly.
“ Its okay, Kame. You’re not an idiot and we understand.” Ko says.
“ Um, you guys continue with practice while I take care of Kazu.”
“ Is he alright?” Reio asks ignoring the warning glare from Keto.
“ Didn’t I tell you to keep your nose out of our business?” Koki asks before turning to the eight or so guys behind him, “ But first get this pest off of my field.”
While Keto and Koki tend to Kame, the soccer team chases Reio from the field with the promise of getting his ass kicked should he come around here again without permission.
Sitting on the very same hill where they shared their first kiss Koki asks...
“ I thought you were at practice Kame?”
“ I was but I just couldn’t concentrate and calm down. The coach noticed and after I explained why he let me out early, we have the play offs coming up and he needs me back on track mentally. So I was walking over here to hang with you and the rest of the team when that episode happened. I’m sorry for messing up practice Koki I just can’t handle being by myself.” Kame says apologetically.
“ Its okay Kame.” Koki says reassuringly running his hand up and down Kame’s back, “ But I need to get back to practice now. Are you going to be okay here?” Koki asks.
“ Don’t worry Koki, I can stay with Kame until you’re done.
“Thanks Keto.” Kame smiles gratefully as Koki just nods and goes back to practice
An hour later Kame and Koki bid farewell to Keto and the rest of the team and head home. Once they get home Koki goes to take a shower with Kame joining him a few minutes later. During dinner Koki’s dad talks to them about Kame’s Aunt and how Koki was right, she’s only after his money, and that they are expected in court in few days since she decided to challenge the will. After clearing the table and doing the dishes for Koki’s mom, Koki and Kame head upstairs to play video games since they don’t have any homework.
A few days later Koki, Kame, Koki’s parents, and Koki’s older brother are sitting in court room waiting for the judge to decide Kame’s fate. Its only been two hours but Kame it felt like an eternity, he wishes the judge would make a decision already. His heart was beating so fast it felt like it was trying to break out through his chest, with Koki being in the bathroom changing his new nephew’s diaper didn’t help matters any. Kame’s pacing up and down is starting to piss Koki’s brother off, he’s about to say something when Koki comes out of the bathroom carrying the baby. Kame waits until Koki hands the baby back to his sister-in law to latch onto Koki like velcro, Koki stands there hugging Kame from behind when his brother says...
“Oi! You’re in public....act accordingly.”
“ Just let’em go, Daisuke. Kame’s not in the best condition right now and he needs Koki to act just as he is, regardless of the fact they are in public.”
“ Guys, the judge is ready for us now.” their lawyer says.
“Koki...I”
“ I know, sugar, I am too.”
They walk back into the courtroom and sit back down. The judge comes in a few minutes a later and says...
“ After much thought and careful consideration I have come to a decision. After going over the will in question many times I didn’t find any loop holes would allow the boy’s Aunt to take him, and after hearing from Kamenashi-kun’s therapist,and Kamenashi-kun himself, stating that medically it was better for him to stay where he is. Its my opinion and the ruling of this court that Kazuya Kamenashi is allowed to continue living in the only home he’s known for the past 7 years. To take him from that would be a cruel thing to do.” The judge said.
Kame couldn’t believe it, he got to stay where he was. He was sure the court would’ve sided with his Aunt. While Kame, Koki and the rest of the family were quietly celebrating, Kame’s aunt asks..
“ What about visitation?” She was still hoping to get that at least since without even the smallest chance to get her hands on Kame’s money, she stands to lose everything.
“ While I would normally encourage such thing since family is important, I feel that, in this case, all it would do is harm the boy further. I’m also going impose a 1500ft restraining order to help insure that you, Mrs. Kamenashi, can’t get near the child in question. Good day to you all. Court dismissed.”
They were about to walk out the door when the judge says, “ Good luck, I wish you a speedy recovery.”
“ Thank you, your honor...for everything.” Kame says with a smile and follows Koki outside.
“ Let’s go home shall we?” Mr. Tanaka says as all but Koki and Kame head to their cars.
“ Kazuya!” his aunt calls, causing Kame to turn around.
“ Kame...let’s go home now.” Koki says holding out his hand.
“ Yeah let’s get out of here.” He smiles, locking his fingers with Koki’s.
They turn around and head back to the car, relieved that Kame’s coming back home with them.

After about twenty minutes of kissing Koki and Kame pull back for some much needed air, when Kame answers his new boyfriend’s question from a little bit ago.
“ Nice answer huh?” he asks with a cheeky grin.
“ Cheeky aren’t you?” Koki says with a chuckle as he leans in to capture Kame’s lips again, while he straddles him at the same time.
“hahaha..yeah.” Kame says softly reaching up to cup the back of his boyfriend’s head.
Their lips were just about to touch when the sounds of laughter reach their ears, remembering where they were...they immediately broke apart and quickly started kicking the soccer ball around just as their best friend Keto shows up with some guy neither Koki nor Kame’s seen before.
Spotting the pair on the soccer field Keto shouts to get their attention causing Koki and Kame to stop their impromptu match.
“ Koki! Kazu!” Keto jogs over with the stranger right behind him, “ Hey guys...”
“ Who’s he and why is he on my field?” Koki asks suspicious all of a sudden.
“ Koki.” was all Kame said while giving him a ‘be nice, will you?” look.
“ Oh right sorry. Koki...Kame, this Reio. He’s new here and I’m just giving him an after school activities tour of the different sports.” he says as Kame and Koki just continue to stare. “ Reio this Tanaka Koki and Kamenashi Kazuya.”
“Nice to meet you Tanaka-kun and you too Kame.” Reio says as Kame just raises an eyebrow.
“ Is this how you greet all your senpai’s that you think you’re just going to get close too right off the bat?” Koki asks as he loops his finger in the belt loop of Kame’s jeans, behind his back so Keto and Reio can’t see, and gently tugs him backwards.
Getting Koki’s hint, Kame steps back so he’s shoulder to shoulder with Koki as he says, “ Call me Kamenashi-kun, not Kame.”
“ But I heard that everyone calls you ‘Kame’.” he explains.
“ The only ones that call me Kame or any thing else more intimate are my closest friends, team mates and little kids, not people I just meet. I’ll see you later Keto.” Kame snorts and walks back towards Koki’s car.
With Kame gone Koki asks, “ Reio-kun, how old are you?”
“15 why?” he answers.
“ Then you should know how to greet people properly. Later Keto.” Koki says and follows Kame back to the car.
“ Sorry about that Keto-chan, I was just nervous and it sorta slipped out.”
“Its okay Reio-kun, greet properly next time and it should ease the tension next time you three meet in the halls or something.” he says with a smile.
“ Can I ask you something? Kamenashi-kun is cute does he have a girlfriend?” Reio asks as they are walking back towards the school building.
“ So you like Kamenashi-kun huh? I wouldn’t go there if I were you...its not safe for you to do so.” Keto warns.
“ Why?”
“ Well for one thing Tanaka-kun isn’t going to allow you anywhere near Kamenashi-san without him being right there. He’s very protective of his best friend and it has a lot to do with Kamenashi-kun’s past.”
“ What happened?”
“ That’s not my story to tell and I won’t tell you behind their backs. So just don’t even try to get Kamenashi’s attention that way. Unless you grew up with them, Tanaka’s not going to let anyone they don’t know or trust enough to keep Kame for longer than he’s comfortable with.”
“ You mean that Tanaka-kun controls everything that his friend does?” Reio asks outraged.
“ Oh god no, Kamenashi-kun would kill him if he tried and Tanaka-kun’s not that kind of person. A lot of it is Kamenashi’s doing, he chooses to spend most of his time with Tanaka-san even when we’re hanging around in a group, their closeness is not something that you can just get in the middle of.” he finishes as they wait for Reio’s dad to pick him up.
Back at Koki’s and Kame’s house:
No sooner do they walk through the front door does Koki throw his keys across the room, where they land in a corner some where. Fuming he storms into the kitchen and chugs an entire can of coke in one go and that’s when he sees the note his parents left them saying that they won’t be home until ten or so.
“ Hey, you okay?” Kame whispers in Koki’s ear snaking his arms around Koki’s torso cuddling to his back. “ What’s that?”
“ I’ll be fine, just the new kid pissed me off and he made it no secret that he fancies you. If he thinks he can waltz into our school and snatch you away from me he’s got another thing coming Kame. Oh this....its just a note saying that my parents won’t be home until ten tonight.” Koki says as he turns to face his lover.
“ Oh come on sugar, that kid couldn’t have been no more than 15 yrs. old. Besides, I prefer an older guy who knows what he’s doing.” Kame says nipping Koki’s bottom lip.
Getting the hint, Koki’s lips part just enough for Kame to slip his tongue in to slowly explore the inside of the older guy’s mouth. Moaning Koki feels his anger starting to subside as Kame’s hands slide up under his t-shirt, pulling it up and over his head. Koki’s shirt slides from Kame’s fingers and onto the floor as Koki undoes the buttons of Kame’s shirt and slips it from his shoulders as he kisses down that swan-like neck he loves so much.
Pulling away Koki asks, “ How do you know for sure that I know what I’m doing?”
“ You’re not exactly a virgin Koki, nor am I.”
“ Good point.” he says as Kame pulls him back in for another searing kiss as Koki undoes the buckle on Kame’s jeans, whipping it off surprisingly fast.
Koki was about to start on the aluminum button when the door bell rang. Groaning they pull away and after Kame’s done putting himself back together, Koki goes to answer the door as he’s pulling his shirt on in the process.
“ Oh hey Wataru, what’s up?” Koki says and lets Kame’s new team mate in the house.
“ Hi Tanaka-kun, I was just...”
“ How many times do I have to tell you to just call me Koki.”
“ Sorry, I was just wondering if I can possibly borrow Kame-chan for a bit? Its baseball related but I thought it would be wise to ask in case you two had something to do.” he says just as Kame walks in wondering where on earth his partner ran off to.
“Koki who...” he stops when he sees the new kid from his team, “Oh hey Wataru-kun, how’s it going?”
“ Hey Kame-chan, I was hoping I could borrow you for a bit. I was wondering if you had the time to help me with my batting? The coach says I’m almost where I need to be, but with me being an only child I don’t have anyone to practice with outside the team.”
“ Why push yourself so hard Wataru? There’s no harm in taking your time to develop your skills.” Koki says
“ Well, we have a big game coming up right after the spring holidays and I was hoping to be good enough by then to be able to do more for the team.”
“ I can see the logic in that, just remember to still have fun in the process.” Koki says with a friendly smile.
“ Yeah sure. I’ll pitch you a few Wataru, wait for me outside by my car. I just have to get my glove.”
“ Okay and thanks again Kame-chan...Koki-kun.” he says and waits outside by Kame’s car.
When he’s gone Koki waits at the bottom of the stairs while Kame went to get his glove. He comes back down with glove and keys in hand and heads to the door with Koki right behind him.
“ I’ll be back in an hour..two tops. You want to come with?” Kame asks.
“ Nah, you go ahead. Unlike you, I have homework to do. Just make sure you’re back in time so I can take a ‘study’ break.” he says with a lecherous smile and a predatory glint in his eyes.
“ Sure thing Koki, love you.”
“ Love you too, Kame.” Koki says and kisses him good bye.
He watches as Kame and Wataru head off to the baseball field near Wataru’s house. Once out of sight Koki gets started on his homework while Kame’s gone. An hour-an a half goes by and Kame’s still not back yet, so he starts on the only thing he has to finish...his history paper. The clock on the wall strikes three when Kame finally comes home all sweaty from the hot sun.
“ Koki! I’m back! Koki?” Kame calls.
“ In here Kazuya!” Koki answers from the dining room.
“ Hi, how goes the homework?” Kame asks kissing the top of Koki’s head.
“ Fine, I’m about done actually. Did Wataru’s hitting improve any?”
“ Not as much as he’d like but he’s better than what he was. I’m going to take a shower now...wanna join me?” Kame asks dropping his voice seductively as he sits in Koki’s lap sucking on his ear lobe.
“ With pleasure.” Koki breaths out as Kame starts rubbing himself against his boyfriend.
Kame vacates Koki’s lap and pulls him towards the stairs and their room, luckily they have their own bathroom. Once inside their bedroom Koki attacks Kame’s neck with his lips and tongue, before they realize it they’re both naked and in the shower with hot water streaming down their bodies. Koki pushes Kame against the chilly shower wall and plants butterfly kisses down his neck and chest, going lower until he reaches his intended destination. He kneels down and swallows Kame’s rock hard cock and starts sucking him off.
“ Oh...Koki...un...I’m..gonna...” Kame warns as he tugs on Koki’s hair.
Koki just looks up, grins and increases the pressure of his lips and tongue, causing Kame to moan as he’s coming hard and fast inside the older guy’s mouth. Swallowing Koki stands up, his feet slipping a little on the wet floor, and shoves his tongue down Kame’s throat once more. He doesn’t mind the taste of his juices on Koki’s tongue as it hits his own, it just turns him on even more. He’s still hard and horny as Koki rubs their erections together enjoying the friction it causes.
“ Koki...I want...hurry..” Kame pants as his words stick in his throat.
Not wanting to disappoint, Koki reaches for the lube and after applying some to his fingers he runs a slick finger around Kame’s entrance and finally slips in garnering a small whimper of pain to escape Kame’s lips. To distract him Koki plants light kisses on the skin on Kame’s face and finally his lips to distract him from the pain, he eventually adjusts thus allowing Koki to start moving his finger in and out of the younger man’s body. Sensing Kame can take it he adds another, he scissors Kame until his small cries of pain turn into that of pleasure and desire. By the time Koki has three fingers inside working against his prostrate...Kame is virtually fucking himself on Koki’s hand.
Not being able to wait any longer Koki removes his fingers and lifts one of Kame’s legs to hook and lock around his back, he gently and carefully pushes in. But its hard to be careful when it feels so fucking wonderful to finally feel Kame around him, pretty soon the sounds of sex fill the silence of the bathroom as Koki slides in and out of Kame.
“ Oh Koki...h-harder...” Kame presses out as his hips push back to meet Koki’s own.
“ Oh Kazuya...s-so..g-good.” Koki moans as his breathing becomes shallow and ragged against Kame’s neck.
“ Ah...K-Koki...damn...I’m gonna...” Kame warns.
Sensing Kame’s reached his limit and that his own climax is near, Koki wraps his free hand around his younger lover’s hard on and pumps his hand in time with his thrusts, causing Kame to come hard and fast over his fingers gluing their bellies together as he claws at what ever part of Koki’s back he could reach. Feeling Kame’s muscles tighten around his length has Koki coming a minute later as he fights to push through the resistance of Kame’s body, spilling his seed as he does so. He gently pulls out and leans against Kame, after they both get done seeing stars Koki turns Kame around and throughly cleans him so his health isn’t in danger. When he’s done they finish their shower.
After climbing out and drying off, they put their clothes on and Koki helps Kame down the stairs. Kame sits on the couch with Koki next to him and that’s when Koki asks...
“ How do you feel?” since its their first time he wants to know how much pain, if any, Kame’s in.
“ My back hurts a little, but nothing major.” Kame answers as Koki hands him some asprin he brought down with them, “ Its okay though, baby, the pleasure out weighs the pain any day. If its not better by the time your parents get home I can always say I did it during gym or something. Now go finish your homework while I watch tv.”
“ Okay, I’ll be back.” Koki gives Kame a chaste kiss as he goes back to his history paper.
Five minutes later Koki joins his lover on the couch, where they start watching some music program.
“ What do you want to do for dinner, Kazuya?” Koki asks wrapping an arm around Kame’s waist pulling him closer, taking the opportunity to hold Kame while his parents are still at work.
“ Hmm...well seeing as we already had the main course. How about Pizza for dessert?” Kame asks grinning.
“ Cute. But okay sure..pizza it is then.” Koki laughs and grabs his phone.
“ Oh hey, how about a movie too?” Kame asks.
“ Whatever you want Kame. Which movie?” Koki grins.
He thinks about it for a minute before saying, “ The Matrix 2. I have been wanting to see it for quite sometime now.”
“ How about I make it date night then?” Koki asks.
As an answer Kame just kisses him for all he’s worth. After Kame’s had enough of fucking the inside of the Koki’s mouth with his tongue, they grab their keys, leave a note for koki’s parents just in case they get home before Koki and Kame do, and head out on their date. They pull up to the theater where the movie was playing, grab their tickets and head inside, that’s where Koki has an unpleasant meeting with the new kid that wants to chase his boyfriend.
“ Oh hey Tanaka-kun, fancy meeting you here.” Reio says.
“ What do you want?” Koki asks annoyed, “ Other than to sink your claws into Kazuya.”
“ Just that and to be friendly.” he says as Kame walks over from where he was getting their drinks.
“ Reio-kun wasn’t it?”
“Yes, it is Kamenashi-kun.” he says making sure to greet properly.
“ To what do we owe the pleasure?” he asks as Koki just leans on him.
“ Nothing, I’m just here with some friends. We tried to see the new Keanu Reeves movie but they wouldn’t sell us tickets.” he explains as his two friends come over.
“ Hey Reio...what’s?” He stops when he sees Kame and Koki.
“ Oh hey Kame-chan, Koki-kun. Thanks again for the help this afternoon.” Wataru says.
“ Anytime Wataru.” Koki and Kame say in unison, then all three burst out laughing.
“ How come he gets to call you that?” Reio asks once all three have stopped laughing.
“ He’s my team mate on the Baseball team, that’s why.”
“ I have an idea, how about the five of us see a movie together?” Reio suggests.
Koki gently tugs on the back of Kame’s belt loop to get him to step back a bit. Smiling at his partner’s jealousy and protectiveness, Kame does as he asked and stands just behind Koki’s right shoulder.
“ Nah...i’m sure Koki-kun and Kame-chan just want to hang out by themselves. Besides, they’re seeing a totally different movie than we are.” Wataru says noticing the tickets for The Matrix 2 in Kame’s hand and the death glare Koki’s sending Reio’s way.
“ Wataru’s right, Reio. Now let’s go and get our seats. We’ll see you inside Wataru.” the other kid says as he wisely drags Reio away from Koki’s vicinity.
“ Can that kid be anymore obvious, sheesh! Hey you coming to the big match in two weeks Koki-kun?” Wataru asks, even he noticed Reio’s crush on Kame.
“ If I don’t have a match of my own or practice then yeah I’ll be there to support the team and you and Kazu.” Koki says.
“ Well, I’ll see you later Wataru. Enjoy your movie.” Kame says.
“ You too.” Wataru responds with a wink and hurries to catch his movie.
With Wataru and his friends gone Kame and Koki head in the opposite direction to start their date. Once inside Kame asks Koki what Reio said to him that made Koki tug on his jeans like that.
“ I asked him what he wanted? That’s when he told me what I already knew.” he answers.
“ Don’t tell me this kid is actually dumb enough to try and get between us, when I’m sure Keto warned him not too?” Kame asks.
“ Yes he is. Kinda pointless really when it won’t work.” Koki says with a grin.
“ Oh I don’t know Koki...he plays his cards right he just might be able to snatch me away.” Kame teases.
“ Kame!” Koki says pouting as the lights go out.
Kame just chuckles and locks his fingers with Koki’s before saying, “ Don’t pout baby, I’m just teasing. You know I would never leave you, don’t you?” he tries to hide the uncertainty in his voice.
“ Yeah I know.” Koki smiles as the movie starts.
Three hours later they head to the restaurant to eat dinner and dessert. They get home about eight o’clock, Koki’s about to unlock the front door when a car pulls into his drive way.
“ Koki? Where you expecting company?” Kame asks.
“ No, I wasn’t. You?”
“ Nope.”
A woman gets out and starts walking towards the couple, instinctively Kame stands directly behind Koki. Which is something he’s done on very few occasions when he was nervous and alot of the time what he feared never came to fruition...until tonight. Ever since his parents died, and while it was in their will that Koki’s parent’s would take Kame in should any thing ever happen to them, he always feared that some distant relative would come and try to take him away...especially after he got that insurance money from the accident. Unfortunately, tonight his worst fear just may come true.
“ Kame? What’s the matter?” Koki asks but Kame doesn’t answer. “ Unlock the door just in case.” Koki mutters as quietly as the woman gets closer, Kame nods and has the door unlocked just as she stops in front of them.
“ Can I help you?” Koki asks politely.
“ Kame...its me. Don’t you remember me?” she asks speaking directly to Kame.
“ Who are you?” Koki asks but again she pretends she doesn’t hear him.
“....” Kame says nothing, but grips the back of Koki’s shirt like his very life depended on it.
Feeling the fabric on his back tighten Koki looks from Kame to the woman standing in front of them. He’s pretty sure that if Kame remembered her he would say something, but Koki also knows that Kame’s always been afraid that a distant relation would come to try and collect him, and separate him from the only place he’s known and found safety in for that past 7yrs. It was that fear that has now kicked in.
“ Its me..Kame.” the woman says again and when she reaches for him, Kame flinches. She doesn’t give up, “ Come on Kazuya, now cut that out. Come out here where I can see you properly.”
Kame just shakes his head and tightens his hold on his partner’s shirt.
“ I don’t know who you are, but its clear he doesn’t know you.” Koki says and pushes Kame closer to the front door, never moving from in front of him.
“ Of course he does, he’s just being stubborn.” she says speaking to Koki for the first time before turning her attention back to Kame, “ Kame dear...do as you’re told and come out from behind him...NOW!” she orders trying to reach around Koki, Koki just slaps her hand away.
“ Oi! Leave him alone!”
“ Why you....how dare you hit a lady!” She fumes and slaps Koki across the face. “ Hey! Koijiro...come over and get him will you!” She calls.
They see a guy, slightly taller than Koki, get out of the car. He comes over and says...
“ You heard the lady Kazuya...now come on!” Koijiro makes a grab for Kame but Koki just pushes him backwards.
“ Hey I said leave him alone! He doesn’t know either of you and you’re not taking Kame anywhere! You got that!”
“ Why you insolent little...” Koijiro says trying to force Koki out of the way.
“ Get off jerk!” He yells and sends a right hook Koijiro’s way, making contact with his jaw. “ Kame...run! Get inside and lock the door!” Koki says as he ducks from the other’s attempts to punch him.
“ But Koki...”
“ No buts...GO!” Kame nods and runs inside the house.
“ KAZUYA!! GET BACK OUT HERE NOW!!” the woman yells just as Koki’s parents get home.
“ HEY! Let go of my son!” Koki’s father shouts and pulls Koijiro off of Koki.
“ What’s going on?” his mom asks as Koki spits out the blood from his bleeding lip.
“ Kame and I just back from the movies and dinner, when these two pull up. She says she knows Kame, but Kame as no idea who she is. She and her friend here tried to pull him out from where he was...standing right behind me. I asked her politely twice who she was and tried to tell her that Kame has no idea who she is but she wouldn’t listen and that’s when she made a grab for Kazu and I gently swatted her hand away.” Koki explains as he mimics on his mom’s hand what he did.
“ Then she calls for this guy and he tried to make Kame move as well, so I shoved him away and told Kame to run for it. That’s how we wound up fighting when you guys got home, I saw the fear in Kame’s eyes...he doesn’t know them and he’s afraid that they’re here to take him away.” He finishes.
“ Where is Kazuya now, Koki?” his mom asks.
“ He should still be in house somewhere, that’s where I told him to go.”
“ You go inside with Kame, dear and we’ll deal with this. Oh and stop your lip from bleeding.” she says.
Koki just nods and heads inside to find his boyfriend. He looks all over the downstairs and even in the back yard, before finding their bedroom door locked. Realizing he’s found where Kame ran off to, he calls through the door...
“ Kame, its just me! Open up!” he hears the door unlock just as the sounds of voices flow up the stairs and into his ears before fading away.
“ There you are sugar.” Koki says as he shuts the door behind him.
“ Koki!” Kame says with relief and throws himself into Koki’s arms.
“ Are you okay? Do you recognize that woman, Kame?” he asks.
“ No, I don’t. But she knows me it seems, I’m afraid Koki. What if she’s here to take me with her?” he whispers his fears into the crook of Koki’s neck.
“ I don’t see how she can, Kame. Legally my parents are your legal guardians and your parents made sure that will was non-contestable.” he says tightening his hold on Kame all the same.
Kame eventually pulls back and that’s when he sees Koki’s bloody lip, he pulls Koki into the bathroom and starts cleaning him up.
“ How’s your lip?” he asks kissing the cut as Koki uses some tissue to stem the blood flow.
“Better now that you did that.” Koki smiles as they come out of the bathroom.
“ Koki, Kame? Could the two of you come down stairs for a minute.” Koki’s dad says poking his head around their door.
“ We’ll be right down.” Koki says, nodding Mr. Tanaka leaves the two guys alone.
“ Koki..” Kame starts but Koki cuts him off.
“ Its okay, baby. Besides, staying up here isn’t going to solve the mystery now is it?”
“ No, I guess not.” Kame sighs as they head downstairs and into the living room.
When they enter the living room Koki sits in the arm chair by the mantle as Kame goes to sit next to him, he passes the strange woman and her companion...he feels fingers enclose his wrist making him stop in his tracks. He looks at Koki with same fear he had earlier that night, eyes silently pleading for help.
“Kame dear, come sit next to me.” she says.
“Um, th-that’s okay.” he replies as he tries to free his wrist her grip tightens.
Next thing anyone in the room knew, Kame was being pulled onto the couch all the while fighting to get free and back to the only person that he feels a sense of safety with, Koki.
“ I said sit here!” she grunted and with one final tug Kame was seated on the couch.
“ Kame...” Koki moved to rescue him but his dad stopped him.
“ Koki...” noticing the stern look his father now gave him, he knew he had no choice but to sit back down in his chair. Giving Kame a look that clearly says how sorry he is, Kame just nods slightly as if to say “its okay, we don’t want to your parent’s to find out about us, now do we.”
“ So, who are they? And why are they here” Koki asks.
“ Apparently this Kame’s mother’s sister. She heard about her sister’s death and has come to take Kame back with her.” his dad says.
“Then why doesn’t Kazu remember her then?”
“Because he was only two when her and his mother stopped having anything to do with each other and he’s only seen her once.”
“ Oh please, she’s just after his money.” Koki snorts. “ Besides, I thought that legally you guys were Kame’s guardians and that their will made it to where Kame’s living arrangements could not legally be changed?”
“ We are and legally she has no claim on him or his money, but she’s come here to...” his mom starts but the other lady cuts her off.
“ I’m Sakano Kamenashi and I have come to see if Kazuya will come back with me. I haven’t seen him since he was a baby and I would love to get to know him.”
As she was talking the only thing Kame could think of was that his greatest fear came true, someone had come to try and take him away from the only home he’s known for the past 7yrs, and what’s worse is that they’re trying to separate him and Koki. Getting more and more uncomfortable by the minute, his leg starts to bounce nervously up and down, noticing this Koki nudges his dad and points to Kame’s leg...whispering how afraid and nervous Kame is.
“ Kazuya, you can go sit by Koki. Its your house too and she’s got no right to force you to sit where you don’t want too.” Kame moves to get up but his Aunt stops him.
“ Just where do you thin...” she starts but Mr. Tanaka cuts across her.
“ He’s still in my house and therefore still has to do what I tell him.”
She lets Kame up and his dad tells him to go and sit by Koki. He does so and immediately starts to feel calmer. Noticing the sudden change in Kame’s body, Koki’s parents know that, even if she does fight them for custody, come hell or high water Kame won’t last living with her and that he feels safer having Koki near him.
Koki lays his hand on Kame’s shoulder when his Aunt asks,
“ Will you come and live with me Kazuya? That way it will take the burden off of the Tanaka’s and we can get to know each other.”
After hearing that she thinks Kame’s been nothing but a burden to them after all these years causes Koki’s grip to tighten, while Koki’s mom just glares at the very idea that someone could imply that her closet friend’s son would ever be such a thing.
“ I’m sorry but my answer is no, I won’t come and live with you. My home is here as are the only parent’s I have known for the last 7 yrs of my life. You won’t understand this but what I lost all those years ago, I was finally able to get back by being here.” Here he looks to Koki and then Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka, “ I owe them lot and I’m not about to walk away.” Kame finishes, causing Koki’s mom to tear up.
“ But Kazuya...I’m sure they want what is best for you. I think that its best if you come with me.” Sakano says not giving up.
“ Why? I have no memory of you and I think if either one of my parent’s thought me living with someone other than the Tanakas was a good idea...then I wouldn’t still be here. You can make all the promises you want, you can give me all gifts you want but what I would lose by leaving I could never get back. Its not a price I’m willing to pay, thank you for the offer but no thanks.” Kame says with such finality that where him and Koki are concerned the matter is settled.
“ But Kazuya...” she starts but Koki’s dad cuts her off.
“ Well you heard his answer, Mrs. Kamenashi, Kame doesn’t want to go.” He says.
“ You’re his parents...talk to him. He listens to you, Mr. Tanaka, make him come with me.” she pleads.
“ I’m sorry but I will not make him live where he’s not comfortable.” he answers.
“ Why is Kame coming to live with you so important anyway? You’re the first person to come and try to collect him, no one else in his family ever tried to take him away..not even when we were kids. You weren’t even there when the will was read.” Koki asks.
“ Because we’re family and what happened between me and his mother, is not Kazuya’s fault. I feel I owe it to his mom to look after her only son.” She says, careful not to divulge the real reason...Kame’s insurance money from the accident.
“ Family huh? Were you around when his family was taken from him? Did you have to watch him suffer from nightmares and intense feelings of abandonment? Did you have to listen to him cry himself to sleep night after night wondering why this happened to him? Did you have to feel helpless each and every single time he had nightmares, knowing that there wasn't a damn thing you could do to take his pain away? No, you didn’t! I find it hard to believe that you just found out that his family is now gone, when it was all over the tv news and in the newspapers!” Koki yells. He was furious at the lies that keep pouring from this woman’s lips, he knows in his gut that she’s just after his partner’s money.
“ Son..calm down!” his dad says.
“ But dad...she’s just....”
“ I said stop it!” His dad shouts.
“ Kame..why don’t you Koki go upstairs. We’ll finish up here.” his mom says.
“ Okay.” he says as he drags Koki from the living room.
“ Oh and Kame, try to get Koki to calm down will you?” he says with a wink. Koki’s dad always knew there was something else going on between Koki and Kame, that went far beyond best friends and it makes him smile.
Kame nods and pushes Koki up the stairs and into their bedroom. Once inside he locks their door and turns on the stereo, keeping volume high enough to cover any noises but low enough so as not to annoy Koki’s parents. Noticing that Koki’s still pissed Kame just walks over and shoves his tongue down his boyfriend’s throat.
Pulling back Koki asks, “ Kame...what are you doing? My parents are just down stairs.”
“ I know, but your dad did tell me to calm you down, didn’t he? Besides, I think he’s figured us out anyway and as long as we’re not louder than the music we should be fine.” Kame says pushing Koki down on his bed. Luckily Kame set Koki’s Korn cd on loop before attacking him. “ Not only that your temper turns me on, you aren't going to leave me like this...are you?” he nips at his lover’s throat.
“ No, I guess if your that in need for attention I can’t refuse.” Koki says as he pulls Kame down on top of him.
Back downstairs:
Hearing the thud of music coming from the bedroom upstairs, Mr. Tanaka smiles and turns his attention back to Kame’s Aunt.
“ You heard Kame’s answer and my son’s response. We aren’t going to force Kame to live where he doesn’t feel safe and comfortable. He’s happy here and as his aunt you should respect his wishes...” he leads Mrs. Kamenashi and her male friend to the door, “ and never come around here again. It will only stress him out and he’s in a really good place right now and I will not allow you to mess that up. Now, good day.” he says as they start walking away, as he shuts the door he hears Sakano’s male friend ask her how they were going to get their hands on her nephew’s money now.
They get in the car and drive off leaving the Tanaka household in peace for the time being, not realizing that Koki’s dad heard the question regarding Kame and his inheritance. He goes into the kitchen and where his wife has tea ready for him, the sounds of the music having ended sometime ago.
“ Are you alright dear? You look troubled.” his wife asked setting his cup down.
“ It seems Koki’s instincts are dead on, she’s just after his money.” He says.
“ Do you think she’ll try and take him regardless of the fact that legally she has no claim him?” his wife asks.
“ I don’t know dear, but I think I will contact our lawyer in the morning...just in case. I know Kazuya and I know if he’s taken from us...mentally we’ll never see him again. He’s suffered a lot at an early age and the doctor did say that as he continues to get older more and more of what happened is going to come back to him. He still doesn’t remember what exactly happened that day and the doctor warned us that eventually he won’t be able to suppress the memories. That’s why his doctor said that medically he can’t be anywhere else, nor do I think it wise to separate him from the only person that makes him feel safe to the point that he can function by himself and around other people normally.”
“ I still don’t think we should’ve put that kind of weight on Koki’s shoulders, dear.” she says.
“ Koki was adamant that he could handle it and that he didn’t mind being Kame’s support system, besides those two are a lot closer than they let on and I think that Koki’s love will do wonders in helping Kame to finish healing and eventually to help him deal with what happened once it does surface. Besides, they can always adopt anyway and family is family regardless of blood.” his dad finishes.
Koki, who was listening to the entire conversation, quietly goes back up stairs to where Kame was changing the sheets on Koki’s bed. -Kame was right...my parents do know- koki thought as he opened their bedroom door and pulls Kame into his arms, hugging him tightly...never wanting to let go.
“Koki....what the...are you alright?” he asks taken aback.
“ Its just that I was right and she’s only after your money. My parents aren’t sure if she’s going to try and challenge the will or not and they started talking about you and how we had to take you to see a therapist. You were right...my dad did figure us out and I don’t want to lose you, sugar.”
“ Koki...” was all Kame could say. Like Kame, Koki never really got over what happened but while Kame’s still recovering...Koki has to stay strong and push away what happened and the pain he felt, and still feels over the fact that there’s really nothing he can do for Kame.
“ I just wish I could take all your pain away, but I can’t. All I can do is just sit back and wait until you break down and the memory of what happened to you that day comes to the surface.” Koki says feeling completely useless.
“ Koki...I know what you’re holding in and I really hope you never get to go through what I did. I lost one set..I couldn’t stand to lose another set of parents. But you are helping me, baby, more than you’ll ever know. If you didn’t love me, even before you realized the true nature of your feelings, then I never would’ve made as much progress as I have. I know you feel helpless and that you wish you could do more for my recovery, but Koki you’re doing more than enough already.” Kame says trying to comfort his boyfriend.
“ Really Kame?”
“ Yes, really. Do you think anyone else can make me feel as safe and secure as you do? Do you think anyone else’s love can help heal me? That’s why just because I tease you that someone else might be able to steal me from you, you shouldn’t let it bother you. I can and would never leave you, I love you way too much. I want grow old with you and maybe have a family with you someday, of course we would have to adopt but still...I want and need only you.”
“ I’m glad Kame. But it still hurts to see you go through this, but at least you don’t feel like you are doing it alone.” he says and lightly kisses Kame’s lips.
Suddenly there was a knock on their door, Kame walks over let’s Koki’s dad come in.
“ Hey guys, Koki’s calm down significantly I see. Maybe that will work with your mother. Anyway, its late so I will save our talk for tomorrow. Don’t worry boys you’re not in trouble or anything, so you can wipe that look from your faces but we do need to have an important conversation.”
“ What about?” Kame asks.
“ About that woman who was here earlier. Well, goodnight. Oh and please it keep down, your mother and I need to get up rather early tomorrow.” he says and gives them wink before retiring to his room for the night.
Realizing just how tired they were, Kame and Koki quietly push their beds together. After a quick shower, they climb in bed, falling asleep in each other’s arms happy that they don’t have to hide their relationship from Koki’s parents.
It was three in the morning when Koki was woken up by someone screaming and that someone just happened to Kame..
“ NO!” Kame was panting heavily and shaking uncontrollably.
“ Hey Kame, what’s wrong? You’re shaking like mad.” he asks, wrapping his arms around Kame’s naked body.
“ We heard someone scream.” Koki’s mom says as she bursts into the room.
“ Yeah it was Kame. He won’t tell me about it, but I think the appearance of that woman triggered his once dormant nightmares. You know, the ones that we thought he manage to get rid of?” Koki tells his mom just as his dad comes in.
“ Its okay, Kazu. It was just a dream, you’re safe and sound in our house.” Koki says reassuringly into Kame’s hair.
“ Its okay, son. I’m here and so is Koki’s dad...you’re not going to go anywhere you don’t want to go.” she says pulling Kame away from Koki, while Koki makes sure they stay covered from the waist down.
Calming down, Kame just nods and smiles gratefully as he gently pulls away and sinking back into Koki’s arms.
“ I know you’re just trying to comfort me, but I feel safer here. I’m sorry.” he says with a guilt ridden expression.
“ We understand Kame, we’re not upset. Now try and get some sleep okay?” she says as her and her husband go back to their room.
“ Wanna talk about it? Maybe I can’t take these night terrors from you but I can at least listen.” Koki asks as he kisses Kame’s shoulder.
“ Sure.” with that Kame tells Koki about his dream and what happened in it.
When Kame was done, Koki captures Kame’s lips and spends the rest of the night helping Kame to forget that wretched nightmare, while making sure to muffle their cries and moans with their lips.
The next day after their shower, they head down to make breakfast for the two of them seeing as Koki’s parents were already at work.
“ You feel up for school and Baseball practice?” Koki asks.
“ Not really but this is the last practice before the spring holidays start. I just wish you could be there, Koki.” he answers back.
“ I know love. If I can manage it, I’ll try and get practice done early to come and collect you. Even if I can’t I will definitely come and get you, ok? But I can’t promise you though.”
“ I know baby.” Kame says, mentally going through Koki’s soccer practice schedule.
With that they head off to school, its just lucky that Kame and Koki have all the same classes, albeit in separate classrooms, but in the same hallways..save two, which are the only ones where they are separated from each other, helps Kame to not freak out. After lunch Kame has a run in with Reio, who still won’t leave well enough alone and find someone else.
“ Oh hey Kamenashi-chan..heading to your next class. We can go together since I’m heading that way myself.”
“Um, that’s okay Reio-kun. I’m waiting for Koki to get done talking with his coach.” Kame says fidgeting with hem of his shirt.
“ Are you okay, you seem rather nervous?” Reio asks just as Koki walks up and leans against Kame.
“ He’s fine and stay out of our business and away from Kame.” he says.
“ I’m fine, its nothing.”
“ Let’s go Kame.” Koki says as they head to their last class of the day.
On the way Koki tells Kame that he couldn’t get practiced shortened, not with their conference finals coming up. Kame assures Koki that he’ll manage as they sit down and start taking notes. After class ends they head off to their separate practices, where Wataru makes sure to send Koki updates on how Kame’s doing since Wataru’s one of the few people, outside their core group of friends, who knew about Kame’s past and that he’s still recovering from it mentally.
Kame’s coach noticed that his ace pitcher/shortstop was off his game today, he pulls Kame aside and asks him what’s wrong. Kame tells his coach that his nightmares have came back and he’s just anxious without his friend being around. The coaches and teachers knew about the whole ordeal and usually tried as best they could to accommodate Kame and Koki but sometimes it just wasn’t possible. Being the sympathetic guy he is, Kame’s coach allows him to leave practice early since by the sounds of it this one of Kame’s bad days mentally. He knows when Kame’s on form that his team rarely loses and with the play offs coming up, he wants his ace player in top condition.
Grateful that he was able to leave, Kame heads straight for the soccer field and Koki. Koki had a hard time concentrating as well but the rest of his team knew that his mind was rightfully somewhere else..on Kame..and since they know what Kame’s been dealing with for many years now, they don’t give Koki a hard time. Normally they have a few rounds of good-natured trolling to enhance performance but there are just some lines that shouldn’t be crossed and Kame’s issues is one of them.
“ Hey Kamenashi-chan!” Reio shouts running to catch up.
Kame just looks back and sees someone running towards him, instead of seeing Reio he sees the masked person from his dream. Freaking out he runs at top speed towards the soccer field, praying that Koki was still there. Kame trips causing Reio to catch up with him and when he grabs Kame’s hand to help him up...Kame pushes him away and takes off again.
“ Kamenashi-chan!” Reio calls just Keto comes over.
“ What’s the matter Reio-kun?” he asks.
“ Its Kamenashi-chan. I tried to get his attention to see if he could point in me the direction of the track and field try outs. But when he turned and saw me running to catch up he just took off, I was able to catch up when he tripped and fell. When I went to pull him up, I don’t know, his gaze held nothing but extreme fear and he just tore off in that direction.” he says pointing in the direction of the soccer field.
“ That’s stran....Shit!...I gotta go! Stay here.” Keto says remembering the conversation he had with Koki this morning, when they filled their friends in on Kame’s night terror, he takes off after Kame.
Being curious as hell and not doing the wise thing by staying put, Reio goes after Keto.
“ So how bad is he this time?” Ren asks Koki as they are taking a break.
“ He didn’t want to come to school, much less practice, today.” Koki answers.
“ Hey Koki! Isn’t that Kame?” Ko asks.
“ Yeah it is..what’s he doing here?” Koki asks standing up.
Seeing that Koki is still at practice sends waves of relief through Kame’s body. Next thing Koki knows Kame’s running right into him, wrapping his arms around his waist.
“ Whoa! Kame what’s the matter?” Koki asks, wrapping his own arms around Kame’s back.
“ Yeah are you okay Kazu? You look like you have seen have ghost or something?” Ren asks.
All they get out of him is something about a strange guy in a mask.
“ A guy in a mask?” Ko asks just as Keto comes to a halt beside Ren.
Kame just points to the figure running their direction never letting go of Koki’s jersey. As the figure gets closer Koki and the others see that its just the annoying new kid Reio.
“ Its okay Kame...its just that new kid Reio something or other.” Ko says with a sympathetic smile.
“ Ren’s right Kame..its just Reio.” Koki assures his boyfriend. “ There is no masked man, it was just a dream.”
Kame plucks up the courage to look behind him just as Reio stops a few feet away. Seeing that Koki and the others were right, Kame feels relieved and embarrassed at the same time.
“ I feel like an idiot. I am sorry if I disrupted your practice.” Kame chuckles but he’s still shaking slightly.
“ Its okay, Kame. You’re not an idiot and we understand.” Ko says.
“ Um, you guys continue with practice while I take care of Kazu.”
“ Is he alright?” Reio asks ignoring the warning glare from Keto.
“ Didn’t I tell you to keep your nose out of our business?” Koki asks before turning to the eight or so guys behind him, “ But first get this pest off of my field.”
While Keto and Koki tend to Kame, the soccer team chases Reio from the field with the promise of getting his ass kicked should he come around here again without permission.
Sitting on the very same hill where they shared their first kiss Koki asks...
“ I thought you were at practice Kame?”
“ I was but I just couldn’t concentrate and calm down. The coach noticed and after I explained why he let me out early, we have the play offs coming up and he needs me back on track mentally. So I was walking over here to hang with you and the rest of the team when that episode happened. I’m sorry for messing up practice Koki I just can’t handle being by myself.” Kame says apologetically.
“ Its okay Kame.” Koki says reassuringly running his hand up and down Kame’s back, “ But I need to get back to practice now. Are you going to be okay here?” Koki asks.
“ Don’t worry Koki, I can stay with Kame until you’re done.
“Thanks Keto.” Kame smiles gratefully as Koki just nods and goes back to practice
An hour later Kame and Koki bid farewell to Keto and the rest of the team and head home. Once they get home Koki goes to take a shower with Kame joining him a few minutes later. During dinner Koki’s dad talks to them about Kame’s Aunt and how Koki was right, she’s only after his money, and that they are expected in court in few days since she decided to challenge the will. After clearing the table and doing the dishes for Koki’s mom, Koki and Kame head upstairs to play video games since they don’t have any homework.
A few days later Koki, Kame, Koki’s parents, and Koki’s older brother are sitting in court room waiting for the judge to decide Kame’s fate. Its only been two hours but Kame it felt like an eternity, he wishes the judge would make a decision already. His heart was beating so fast it felt like it was trying to break out through his chest, with Koki being in the bathroom changing his new nephew’s diaper didn’t help matters any. Kame’s pacing up and down is starting to piss Koki’s brother off, he’s about to say something when Koki comes out of the bathroom carrying the baby. Kame waits until Koki hands the baby back to his sister-in law to latch onto Koki like velcro, Koki stands there hugging Kame from behind when his brother says...
“Oi! You’re in public....act accordingly.”
“ Just let’em go, Daisuke. Kame’s not in the best condition right now and he needs Koki to act just as he is, regardless of the fact they are in public.”
“ Guys, the judge is ready for us now.” their lawyer says.
“Koki...I”
“ I know, sugar, I am too.”
They walk back into the courtroom and sit back down. The judge comes in a few minutes a later and says...
“ After much thought and careful consideration I have come to a decision. After going over the will in question many times I didn’t find any loop holes would allow the boy’s Aunt to take him, and after hearing from Kamenashi-kun’s therapist,and Kamenashi-kun himself, stating that medically it was better for him to stay where he is. Its my opinion and the ruling of this court that Kazuya Kamenashi is allowed to continue living in the only home he’s known for the past 7 years. To take him from that would be a cruel thing to do.” The judge said.
Kame couldn’t believe it, he got to stay where he was. He was sure the court would’ve sided with his Aunt. While Kame, Koki and the rest of the family were quietly celebrating, Kame’s aunt asks..
“ What about visitation?” She was still hoping to get that at least since without even the smallest chance to get her hands on Kame’s money, she stands to lose everything.
“ While I would normally encourage such thing since family is important, I feel that, in this case, all it would do is harm the boy further. I’m also going impose a 1500ft restraining order to help insure that you, Mrs. Kamenashi, can’t get near the child in question. Good day to you all. Court dismissed.”
They were about to walk out the door when the judge says, “ Good luck, I wish you a speedy recovery.”
“ Thank you, your honor...for everything.” Kame says with a smile and follows Koki outside.
“ Let’s go home shall we?” Mr. Tanaka says as all but Koki and Kame head to their cars.
“ Kazuya!” his aunt calls, causing Kame to turn around.
“ Kame...let’s go home now.” Koki says holding out his hand.
“ Yeah let’s get out of here.” He smiles, locking his fingers with Koki’s.
They turn around and head back to the car, relieved that Kame’s coming back home with them.
