Author's note: I kind of changed things in the chapter because I read over it and laughed at how scatter brained it was. I didn't really go in super detail fixing though.

Chapter 1:

Realization

Bunji sat across the table from Brandon as he watched from behind his dark aviator sunglasses in silence. The aviator sunglasses had always hid him from the world. He knew his eyes gave him away all too well so he hid behind them. Always perceived as an emotionless man but deep down inside he knew the truth and only one person had been able to pull it out of him but they were long gone now. He continued to watch Brandon with his want full eyes as Harry, Lee, and Max babbled about some stupid subject. Brandon of course was quite as always. Bunji pulled a smoke from his pack and lit it then took a drag. "What do you think Bunji?" Harry asked and interrupted his thoughts. He looked to Harry as he answered. "You know me Harry I don't have much to say on that topic I just do what I do best." Harry smirked at him then said. "I mean come on I know I could be running things way better then Big Daddy." Bunji snickered to himself a little as he blew smoke from his nostrils then said. "But you ain't and that should be the end of it." Lee interrupted as he said he would be. Bunji shrugged then picked his whiskey up and finished it. "Yeah Bunji we all know Harry could do it better." Max said in between chews and swallows of his chicken leg. Bunji pulled his wallet and threw some money on the table as he stood. "Yeah I guess so."

Brandon watched as he left and wondered what that was all about, the man was as confusing as they came. He stood up and headed to the door also but was stopped by Harry saying. "Don't waste your time you know how Kugashira gets." Brandon looked back at Harry then back to the door; he ignored his comment and went after Bunji. Brandon stepped out of the jazz bar and looked around and caught site of Bunji strolling casually down the street. He walked after him and waited until he got closer and spoke his name. Bunji smiled to himself with his back to Brandon as he stopped waiting for what he had to say. "Where you headed to?" Bunji lost his smile as he turned towards him to not give himself away. "A bar not to far from here." Brandon nodded to him and said. "Well let's go." Bunji nodded back to him and they headed down the street side by side silence stood between them like it always did with Brandon and anyone else. Bunji broke the odd moment as he asked. "So you seeing anyone big guy?" Bunji immediately regretted asking that after it left his lips. A no came from Brandon and he didn't go into detail why not. Bunji flicked his smoke then pulled out another as he stole a glance of the gorgeous younger man beside him. Bunji couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to card his fingers into his long dark brown hair and press his lips against his. Brandon snapped him out of his thoughts as he asked. "What about you Bunji?" Bunji snickered then gave off a nope. Brandon in a way was relieved but he didn't know why, to him Bunji was one of his most trusted comrades because Harry had changed so much in such a little while or maybe he was just blind to his ways all the time they had been friends. Brandon had taken the stand to fight him and make Bunji join them. After that it seemed as if he had gained Bunji's trust and loyalty. Then the incident with the lighting mafia and Bunji finding out where he was somehow then coming to fight alongside him made him see Bunji in a different light. He just couldn't put his finger on it and he had spent hours trying to find the answer. "Hey Bro we're here." Brandon snapped out of his thoughts and looked up into Bunji's dark aviator sunglasses then to the entry way of the bar. Bunji motioned him in as he held the door open and he followed his order.

Brandon followed him to the far back corner and they took a seat on opposite couches facing each other. "Hey there boys what can I get you?" A beautiful raven haired woman asked from her full lips. "I'll have a whiskey." Bunji responded. She smiled at him then said. "Like always handsome." Bunji smirked at her as he put his cigarette out in the ash tray on the coffee table. "And for you sir?" She asked as she looked over to Brandon. Brandon thought for a second then said. "I'll have a jack and coca." She nodded then headed towards the bar. Leaving the two silent again as Bunji smoked and Brandon glanced over at him every now and then. She came back shortly with their drinks then left. 'Damn this is awkward.' Bunji thought then chugged his drink down. Brandon followed and she came back after noticing their drinks were empty. "Another round?" They booth nodded and she took their empty glasses. Bunji looked back to Brandon looking out the window as rain began to pour. 'I gotta say something this silence is fucking killing me!' Ran through Bunji's head then he asked. "So you seen Maria lately?" Brandon's eyes shot over to him as he replied. "No actually I haven't." Brandon looked down to the table then said. "Bunji about that night with the lighting Mafia I just wanted to say..." The waitress cut him off. "Okay boys here are your drinks and two shoots on the house." She placed their drinks on the table and they thanked her. She told him it was no problem then turned and walked towards the gentlemen that had just entered from the rain. "What were you saying bro?" Bunji asked as he looked over at him. Brandon shook his head and told him never mind. Bunji let it go as he took his shot then thought of what he could have been talking about. He shoved his thoughts back into the far dark corners of his mind then drank the rest of his whiskey.

By now Bunji was feeling pretty drunk. He had been throwing them back at the other bar because drinking seemed to help subside his wants for Brandon. Not this time though he had drank too much and it had actually intensified his desire for him. "Hey Brandon I think I'm calling it a night." Brandon looked over at him standing up and putting money on the table then said. "It's pouring outside though how about we wait it out." Bunji looked over into his eyes behind his aviator sunglasses and felt tingles run down his spine, he looked away quickly then said. "Naw I'll be okay I like the rain." 'A cold shower would help right now.' Bunji thought as he tried pushing out the visual sights of him and Brandon together. Brandon stood up and the alcohol seemed to rush up to his head then back down to his stomach causing him to place a hand on his head to try and gather himself then thought. 'I guess I had a little more then I remember.' He rubbed his forehead then dropped his arm to his side and asked. "How about we catch a cab?" Bunji pulled a smoke and lit it and replied with a sure.

The cab pulled up to Bunji's place and he pulled his wallet out. Brandon placed a hand on his arm and said. "I got it don't worry." Bunji got warm in his lower regions as he asked if he was sure. "Yeah as long as I can come up and have couple more drinks." Bunji nodded yes to his requests but wanted to actually say no because his body sure wasn't listening to him right now. Brandon paid the driver and they stepped out of the cab into the rain. They walked quickly into his lofts entry way as Brandon looked around at the classy lounge area and elevators. 'Didn't expect a guy like Bunji to live here.' He followed behind Bunji quietly as they walked over to the elevator then pressed the up button. The up light lit up on top one of the elevators and they entered and stood opposite each other in silence as the elevator played some cheesy music. Then out of nowhere they burst out laughing because of the song. The doors opened and the laughing seized. Brandon followed behind him once again until they came to his door and he unlocked it and entered as shock over took Brandon because his place was completely opposite of what he thought it would be. It had a very nice sophisticated Japanese theme to it. Bunji locked the door then slid his jacket off and threw it on the coat rack. "Nice place." Bunji looked over at him then said thank you. He went into the kitchen as Brandon took his dress jacket off and placed it on the coat rack as Bunji had. He went over to the large black suede couch and took a seat as Bunji exited the kitchen with drinks and walked over to where Brandon sat. He took a seat beside him then placed the drinks on the coffee table. He grabbed the tv's remote then noticed their knees were touching. He moved his leg a little more away from him but Brandon leaned his leg more into his. Bunji choose to ignore it as he flicked the tv on and asked. "You wanna watch anything in particular?" Brandon didn't answer as he gazed over at Bunji's strong form, five o'clock shadow, and messy hair. He snapped out of it then said. "Uh...no." Bunji put it on a sports channel news recap of the day's games. He reached down and grabbed his drink then said. "You want your drink?" Brandon reached for it as Bunji sat back and looked over Brandon's back and long dark hair pulled into a lose low ponytail. He bit his lip in want then asked. "Hey can you hand me my pack." Brandon nodded then sat back as he handed Bunji the smokes. Bunji pulled out a cigarette then lit it and took a deep drag as he got his composure together. They sat quite yet again as they drank their drinks and Bunji smoked his cigarettes. "Want another?" Bunji asked as he looked at his and Brandon's empty glasses. Brandon looked over at Bunji's chiseled features then said. "Why not?" He took his glass then stood up and headed to the kitchen.

Brandon watched as he walked off and disappeared and felt himself want to jump him. Brandon was at a loss of words for his desires. 'What am I thinking Bunji would never want to be like that with a guy!' Brandon had only been with a guy a couple times and that had been Harry. He clenched his teeth at the thought then forced them away. Bunji re-entering pulled his attention from his flash of anger. Bunji handed him his glass then sat back down beside him but a little closer this time. The tension grew as they drank their second round until Brandon asked. "So why aren't you seeing anyone?" Bunji looked over at him as smoke blew out from his mouth as he answered. "I guess because the person I want I can't read that well." Brandon nodded to him then tried to think of who he was talking about but couldn't remember any woman he had seen him with. Bunji excused himself then got up and headed to the bathroom. He closed the door as he let out a sigh of frustration. He leaned on the counter with his palms against the marble his head sunk down between his shoulders. After a couple seconds he looked up at himself in the mirror then took his aviator sunglasses off and turned the cold water on. He splashed his face then grabbed a towel and wiped dry. 'I gotta collect myself before I go back out there. He thought as he sighed again.'

Brandon sat patiently as he twirled his thumbs. He looked at his empty glass then to the hallway Bunji had walked down. He was debating what he should do about his situation. 'Should I just go for it or leave it...fuck I'm going for it.' Brandon shot up and walked down the hallway stopping at the bathrooms door. He waited for him to exit as he planned on what to do. Bunji opened the door and looked at Brandon standing before him from behind his aviator sunglasses then asked. "Gotta use the bathroom, sorry." He walked forward and Brandon grabbed his shirt with one hand then pulled him to his chest. He carded his other hand into his messy hair as he took his lips. Bunji stood stiff and shocked from Brandon's actions then realized it was what he had been fighting with himself for so long. He pushed Brandon back into the wall roughly as he kissed him back deeper then carded his fingers into his soft long hair. Their tongues flicked at each other's as they hardened in their pants. Bunji bit Brandon's lower lip roughly then pulled from his lips as they breathed heavily from the passionate kiss. Brandon stared into his aviator sunglasses then said between sharps breaths. "Bunji I didn't kno..." Bunji cut him off as he took his lips again and they shared another intense kiss. Brandon wrapped his arms around Bunji's slim waist and pulled him closer. Bunji started to walk towards his room and Brandon didn't protest as they continued to kiss.

They made their way somehow into the room as Bunji tore off Brandon's dress shirt while falling back onto the bed. Bunji pulled from his lips then kissed gently at his strong neck a moan escape Brandon as started to suck and bite gently. He kissed up to his earlobe and flicked his tongue against it then tucked. Bunji's name slid from his lips as he enjoyed his hot breath and warm tongue against his skin. Bunji didn't know where Brandon wanted things to go so he sat up on his knees stopping what he was doing causing Brandon to open his eyes and look to him as he asked what was wrong. Bunji rubbed the back of his head then said. "I just don't want anything going down that might be regretted the next day." Brandon smirked at him devilishly then sat up and placed his hands on his hips as he said. "Oh I know I won't regret anything." Bunji smirked at him then grabbed a handful of hair and pulled his hair making him lose his breath from his rough touch. He pulled at his shirt as Bunji let go of his hair then took it off all the way. Brandon scanned his fingers across his defined chest and abs as he looked at his tattoos as he looked down at his hand and softened a little from his touch. Bunji didn't want to put his guard down to much because they were booth drunk. He grabbed at Brandon's under shirt and pulled it off him to reveal his scar less and hair less upper half. Unlike Bunji he didn't have a happy train that Brandon was stroking ever so gently as Bunji seemed to purr at his touch. Bunji melted more into him as Brandon grabbed him ever so gently then laid him back against the bed. He got on top of him then took his lips in a soft sensual way. Bunji felt the most comfortable and wanted ever in so long as Brandon's hands wandered across his body gently and softly. He wondered why Brandon had done what he had but he sure wasn't going to complain about it now.

Brandon slid his hand down to his jeans then undid the button and unzipped them as he pulled away from his lips. Bunji watched his every move from behind his sunglasses. Brandon looked gorgeous like always his long hair had fallen out of its hair tie and was now hanging over his shoulders. His bangs framed his face perfectly as his almost emotionless eyes stared at him. Brandon placed his fingers on each side of his aviator sunglasses then pulled them off as Bunji protested. "No...wait.." But Brandon ignored them as he placed them to the side and looked into his dark brown eyes. They stared into each other's eyes for the first time without the dark frames between them. Brandon smiled and Bunji smiled back then sat up and took his lips as had enough, he couldn't take the anticipation anymore. Bunji undid his pants and unzipped them then pulled away from his lips as he pulled them off with his boxer briefs. Brandon looked at him with want and desire in his eyes more than before. He had been waiting to pull the animal out of Bunji and he could see how his eyes shinned in the moons light that peeked in through the blinds. He was like a wolf staring at a poor defenseless lamb as he took the rest of his clothes from him then placed one hand on each side of his head. They stared into one another's eyes for a moment until they joined in a kiss and Bunji pushed into him. He bit his lower lip at how tight he was then thrust his tongue into his mouth harshly. Brandon moaned deep in his throat as he pulled from his lips after Bunji had wrapped his hand around his hardness and stroked as he pushed deeper and faster into him with carnal desire. He reacted from every movement he used upon his body as his back arched his mind whirling with so much pleasure. Every lovely thrust Bunji gave and stroke of his hardness was right on time and Brandon couldn't help but let pleasure soaked moans escape his lips. Their lips meet in another passionate kiss as his rhythm and stroke upon his hardness speed up until Brandon fell over the edge cumming for what seemed a life time. He felt the warmth of his cum on his stomach and felt Bunji smile a little as they continued to kiss until he couldn't hold back much longer and soon gave into ecstasy.

They lay beside each other letting out heavy breaths for a moment until Bunji reached towards his bedside table and opened the drawer then pulled out some tissues. Brandon thanked him for them then cleaned himself up. "Where's your trash can?" Bunji sat up and took them from him then got up and walked to the bathroom. Brandon watched Bunji walk off and admired his strong sexy build as he sat up and ran his fingers through his hair and closed his eyes. 'Damn that was good almost too damn good.' "You about to head out?" Bunji asked as he sat down beside him. Brandon opened his eyes and looked into those seductive dark eyes then told him no and he was just tired. Bunji smiled gently at him then said quietly. "Um….if you want you can stay the night over here." Brandon placed his hand on his thigh then said nothing as his smile continued. "I'll take that as a yes." Brandon nodded then pulled Bunji down and ran his hand across his stomach. Bunji smiled to himself as Brandon lay on his chest. They lay silently while enjoying the closeness and moment until Bunji said. "Let me turn the lights off and we can go to sleep." Brandon nodded then sat up as Bunji followed. He went and turned all the lights off as Brandon put his boxers on and grabbed Bunji's for him. He returned back into the dark room only lit by the moon light coming through the cracked blinds. "Here Bunji." Brandon said in a sexy tone, Bunji walked closer to the dark figure standing at the foot of the bed and grabbed for his hand. He put his boxer briefs on then moved closer to Brandon's warm smooth skin making him wrap his arms around him then pecked his lips gently. Their eyes adjusted to the darkness and they looked at each other then Bunji said. "Who would imagine a quiet guy like you was so vocal in the bedroom." They shared a laugh then silence until Bunji moved closer and placed a hand gently on his face and took his lips in a deep passionate loving kiss like before. It was surprising how sweet Bunji could be. They pulled apart and went to each side of the bed then slipped under the covers. Brandon didn't know what kind of sleeper Bunji was so he decided for him. Bunji opened his eyes as Brandon slid an arm around his waist and pulled him to his chest. His breath against his neck sent tingles down his spine and gave him goose bumps. Brandon pressed his lips against his neck then said. "Good night Bunji." He smiled then returned the goodnight. They soon went to sleep content with what was going to come tomorrow.
