Oh look, another story.
I absolutely love this manga. I'm a yaoi fan. Not even sorry.
Sooo this is based off of DarkFlameTailz story, A New Twist ( s/7524554/1/New-Twist) I got permission to write a story based off of that one! You should totally check her out though, she's awesome. ( u/1417304/DarkFlameTailz)
Be warned; It's extremely suggestive. EXTREMLY! I refuse to write anything worse than this.
I'm planning on this being a two-shot with a bonus MisakixKunihiro chapter… Maybe…
Thank you for reading! YOU ALL MAKE ME FEEL SO LOVED!
Chapter 1
Souichi Tatsumi had always kept it a secret. If someone had asked him about it, he wasn't going to lie, but he still did his best to keep it covered up. He wasn't proud of the fact that he was gay, but he had admitted to himself that he was. He found men attractive and woman friendly. Just friendly. But he kept it a secret, because everyone he told looked at him differently. If he had ever told a girl, suddenly she stared treating him like her girl friends. If he ever told a guy (a straight guy) he would start spending a lot less time with him. So he just didn't tell anyone.
"Hello?" he said into the mouthpiece of phone, trying not to sound excited.
"Come over later? I've got a movie for us."
He glanced at his kohai, Morinaga, to make sure he was occupied before turning away and saying softly into the phone, "What movie?"
"Dunno," he could almost hear his boyfriend's grin over the phone. "I wasn't planning on us actually watching it."
Souichi sighed. "All right. Pick me up after I'm done here?"
"'Kay!" his boyfriend called before the line went dead.
Souichi shoved the phone back into his pocket and grumbled about how he had to work, but he was very happy he had invited him over.
"Was that your boyfriend?" Morinaga mumbled offhandedly, twisting the knobs on his microscope.
Souichi almost choked on his coffee. "Wha- what do you mean?"
"A couple of months ago a guy came in saying he was looking for his boyfriend, Souichi Tatsumi, and asked me if I knew you. I told him you had stayed at home that day and he left. I couldn't have talked to the guy for more than three minutes."
Souichi felt a blush creeping into his cheeks and cursed himself for being embarrassed. "So you knew I was... Into guys the whole time?!" he said, having never really liked being branded with the word 'gay'. "Why the fuck didn't you say anything?!"
Morinaga looked up from the microscope and shot him a quizzical glance. "Did I need to, Senpai?"
He blushed hard and looked away. "No, dumbass! I-I just thought you would, that's all!"
Morinaga shrugged causally and went back to his work. "Nah, I'm cool with that kind of thing."
Souichi snorted. Then made a realization he wished he wouldn't have said aloud, "If you knew why didn't you treat me differently?!"
Souichi mentally slapped himself.
"I've got no reason to. Senpai is Senpai. If you swing that way, then you have since the first day I met you, right? It's not like it changes you into a different person or anything by telling me."
"… Oh. Well, then would you mind if I left a bit early today?"
Morinaga turned away from his microscope and gave Senpai a teasing smirk. "You got a date?"
"Shut up!" he shouted, blushing heavily.
Morinaga just laughed and waved him off. "Enjoy your date~, Senpai."
That was two months ago, as Souichi recalled. Only days before he and his boyfriend had gone their separate ways. He had told him it wasn't his fault; He had gotten a thing for another guy. His ex had completely understood. Said it was fine and moved on. That's what Souichi liked about the guy, he didn't linger over things. He had even been fine with it when Souichi told him he was interested in another guy.
Little did he know that guy just so happened to be Tetsuhiro Morinaga.
It really didn't bother him that there was no way anything would ever happen between them. For the first little while, he was satisfied with just being around him, maybe going out drinking once in a while. Yep, he was satisfied… For a little while.
"Tatsumi-Senpai, would you be all right with that?"
"What? I'm sorry I lost you."
The student rolled his eyes. "Remember? About the new student? She's here abroad from R University."
"Er, yeah, sure I guess. What's her name?"
"It says here that it's Rin Takahashi." He squinted at the paper he held in his hands. "Actually, it says she was supposed to be in your lab half an hour ago."
"What?!" Souichi blew up, death glaring the student, and running back to the lab with a swish of his lab coat.
Souichi slammed open the door to find Morinaga and Rin talking like they had known each other for years.
Morinaga grinned. "Back so soon, Senpai?" he teased
"Sorry I'm late, didn't know you were coming," Souichi growled in a tone of voice that suggested someone was going to bleed later.
Rin smiled like she knew a secret, black eyes shimmering as she looked him up and down, and stuck out her hand. "Rin Takahashi."
"Souichi Tatsumi."
Morinaga tucked his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair casually. "So I guess we're both your kohais now."
Rin laughed lightly and Souichi raised an eyebrow at her. "Takahashi-san, how long will you be here again?"
She gave him a smile that wasn't quite nice enough to be sincere. "A week or so, but I'll be switching between this lab and the one downstairs since I have a double major, Morinaga-kun." she said, speaking mostly to Morinaga even though it was Souichi who had asked the question.
-kun?
Souichi bit his lip and tried to stay quiet. Something about that girl got on his nerves, and he had a feeling it wasn't because she didn't like him, but because she DID like certain other people... A LOT.
"Rin-san," Morinaga said, snapping him back, "has anyone shown you where the other lab is?"
She shook her head and flipped her hair back. "No. Not yet anyway. Maybe you could show me?" she latched onto his arm and smiled, black eyes flickering.
A muscle in Souichi's mouth twitched. "He can't."
Morinaga gave him a quizzical look. "Why not? I've got nothing right now."
"You and I need to talk."
"Wha- Senpai!"
"I'm sorry, Takahashi-san, will you give us a minute?" he said, death-glaring Morinaga.
Rin looked almost disappointed that she had to let go of Morinaga's arm. "Yeah, sure..." She stepped into the hallway and closed the door behind her.
"Senpai! What was that for? You were really rude, you know!"
Souichi pushed him roughly against the wall. "Stay away from her."
Morinaga was taken aback. "Wha-? Why? She's not doing anything wrong, is she?"
"Are you an idiot?" Souichi said incredulously.
"I just don't understand what's wrong with her! There's nothing she's done that's dangerous or anything!"
"She's flirting with you! Can't you tell?!" Souichi exploded.
"What? What do you mean she's flirting with me?!"
"Oh gimme a break moron! The little stroking on your arm, the flashy clothes, laughing at all your jokes! Come on imbecile! This is flirting one-o-one!"
"OK, OK, but why are you so upset about it?! Are you jealous of her or something?!"
"And what if I am?! Is that a problem?!"
"How do you even know she's flirting with me?!"
"Because that's what I do when I flirt with you!"
Morinaga tensed up then froze. Had Senpai really just said what he thought he had?
His assumptions were confirmed when Souichi blushed bright red and reeled back looking horrified. "Ah... I..." Tears welled up in his eyes and he ran out the door.
Souichi almost slammed into Rin when he banged open the door and took off. "Augh – sorry," she said, turning around to find Souichi rubbing his eyes in a hurried attempt to wipe away tears before he ran off again.
Morinaga ran out not three seconds later and nearly bumped into her too. "Senpai - oh geez, sorry. Hey- Rin-san where did Senpai go?"
She pointed to her left.
"Thank you," Morinaga said, quickly running off in the same direction calling, "Senpai!" He ran until he hit the front of the school building.
"H-hey Matsuda?"
Morinaga turned and hid behind the gates. It was Senpai, trying not to let whoever was on the other line not hear the breaking him his voice.
"Are you home? Well what time does Kanako get out of school? I was gonna head home now anyway, I can leave the door unlocked. What? Y-yes I'm fine, I'm just leaving early today. What time will she be h-home? All right, I'll unlock the door then. Yes. Goodbye." He snapped the phone closed, ground his teeth to keep from crying again and muttered a cracked "Shit!" He turned away, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and walked off in what Morinaga assumed was the direction of his house.
Morinaga fell back against the brick tower next to the gate, mentally exhausted and confused as hell. Senpai had a thing for him? How long had that been going on? God, if he had been so stupid not to notice Rin's obvious attempts at flirting with him how could he have noticed Senpai's?! Morinaga already knew he was shy about the fact that that he was gay, and he knew very well Morinaga was straight. So for him to still try and flirt with his straight kohai must have meant that he was really into him. And he wondered why Senpai called him and idiot! He didn't even realize after almost five years knowing the guy! "God, I'm so stupid!" Morinaga shouted out loud, kicking the tower in fury.
After giving himself a few moments to calm down, Morinaga went back to clean up the lab, not really having the heart or energy to focus on the cultures. He left not ten minutes after, making a mental note to talk to Senpai about it tomorrow. But Senpai wasn't there the next day. Or the day after. Or the next day.
Souichi curled further into his pillow and shoved his poem in his drawer. He really couldn't deal with Morinaga right now.
A small knock on his door snapped him out of him misery. "Ni-san?"
Souichi said nothing.
"Ni-san, what's wrong? Don't tell me you're just not feeling well, you would drag yourself to school even if you were in the emergency room. Tell me what happened." Kanako sat down on the edge of the bed and refused to budge until Souichi sat up and put his arm around her.
He took a deep breath. "You know Morinaga right?"
"Yep," she replied, thinking of how fond he had grown of her and how many times he had called asking for Souichi. So that's what this is about, she thought.
"And you know that I like him?"
"Mmhmmm." Kanako was happy her brother was totally open with her. She thought sometimes that they got along better because he was gay.
"Well, this girl came into the lab a couple of days ago and started flirting with him... And I got jealous. So I pushed her out and started yelling out him and I may have accidentally... Told him that I like him."
"So? What's wrong with that?"
"I never meant to tell him! Ever! He's straight for God's sake!"
Kanako sighed. "Ni-san, Morinaga already said it doesn't bother him that you like guys, why should it bother him that you're into him? Do you realize that he's called here at least twenty times looking for you? He said he's not mad or anything, he just wants to talk to you."
Souichi grimaced and looked away.
"Call him. Please? He sounded really concerned."
After a long pause Souichi gave in. "Fine, I'll call him. Go do your homework."
"Help me with science later?"
"I guess."
"Yay! Thank you!"
Once Kanako had left him to his own devices, Souichi pulled out his cell and took another deep breath. He was just about to call his kohai when a blaring Incoming Call message came up on the screen. He squinted at the caller ID.
Tetsuhiro Morinaga
Souichi swallowed. He really had been trying to reach him. "H-hey," he said.
"Senpai! Thank goodness you're all right! I've been trying to reach you but Kanako-chan just told me you weren't feeling well."
"Yeah, sorry." Souichi swore he would never tell another living soul how good it felt to hear Morinaga's voice.
After a slightly awkward pause, Morinaga hesitantly said, "Look Senpai, I'm not upset or anything. I'm not saying there's anything I can do but... Come back to school, OK Senpai? Senpai?"
Souichi mentally slapped himself for getting emotional. He furiously wiped away the tears from his cheeks and dear lord he hoped his voice didn't waver when he gave a calm, "All right. I'll see you tomorrow then."
He could almost hear the smile through the phone. "Goodbye, Senpai."
Morinaga ambled lazily into the school, sipping his coffee and trying his best to wake up. Well, Senpai was coming back today, and then things would be back to normal. It had felt so unnatural looking over the cultures by himself.
"DAMN THAT KUROKAWA WOMAN!"
Ah, speak of the tyrant.
"Senpaaai," Morinaga whined, opening the door to the laboratory. "It's too early for this."
"I'll kill her! I will fly to America right now and kill that bitch!"
"Senpai! Senpai! Hold on, what happened?"
Souichi turned around and shot him a glare that could have turned Medusa to stone. "Tomoe and that she-devil are getting fucking married! MARRIED! Lemme through so I can fly to America and rip her goddamn head off!"
Morinaga put his arm out to stop Senpai from literally storming out the door. "Senpai wait! Don't get any crazy ideas! Tell you what; come to my house after school and I'll let you drink as much as you want!"
Souichi paused. Then he shook his arm off roughly, muttered, "Fine. But you're paying!" and spent the rest of the day mumbling foul words about Kurokawa under his breath.
Souichi rummaged through his bag for his ringing phone, completely wasted. "Yeah?" he growled into the mouthpiece.
"Ni-san? What's up with your voice?"
"Nothin'." He held his hand up in front of his face, glasses off, and slurred, "Huh. My vision is reeeally bad."
"You're drunk aren't you? How are you going to get home?!"
Morinaga reached down and took the phone from Senpai, who was too occupied with squinting at his hand to notice. "It's Morinaga, Kanako-chan. Senpai's gonna stay at my place tonight."
"I am?"
"Well, you're not going home like that are you?"
"Mmm… Guess not. But I gotta return Misaki's stuff."
Morinaga said goodbye to Kanako and hung up. "Who's Misaki?"
"Ex-boyfriend," Souichi slurred again. "Found some of his stuff and my place the other day and I told him I'd return 'em." He pushed himself up and stumbled unsteadily down the hall.
"Where are you going?"
"Kitchen."
Morinaga sighed and moved over to Senpai's bag to put his phone back. He unzipped it, peered in, and raised an eyebrow at a few of the objects inside. He was about to close it up when a label-less bottle caught his eye. This one, he assumed, was Senpai's. It was next to his cigarettes after all, probably just more booze.
Still half-drunk, he pulled the bottle out, uncapped it, downed it, and tossed it off to the side where it rolled under his dresser. He smacked his lips together. Strange, it didn't taste like any beer he had ever had.
Souichi came back, fell on the futon and undid the top two and the bottom one button on his shirt. Morinaga vaguely wondered if this was what Senpai meant by flirting with him.
"I'm tired."
"How?" Morinaga laughed. "It's only midnight."
"But I had t' make up everything I missed last night. I was up 'til four."
Morinaga grinned and tossed a blanket Senpai's way. "Then go to sleep. I think I'm gonna go to bed too."
"Mm? Why?"
"Low alcohol tolerance."
"What? But you drink all the time!"
Morinaga grinned sheepishly. "I know. Why do you think I do it?"
"Well, whatever. G'night," Souichi yawned, yanking the blanket up to his torso.
"Yeah, good night Senpai."
Morinaga blinked sleepily and checked the clock on his phone. 3 am. Groan. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and then noticed his 'problem.'
He groaned quietly again and began to move to take care of it when his legs suddenly gave out. "Ouch," he murmured, landing on top of a startled Senpai.
"Wha-? What the fuck?! Geroffa me idiot!"
"I can't, I can't move my legs!"
Souichi pushed Morinaga off of him and looked down at his 'problem'. Both men blushed beet red.
"You're-" Souichi said, making Morinaga look away awkwardly. "Fuck. Where is it?" he muttered under his breath looking around until he saw the tip of the bottle peeking out from underneath the dresser. He squinted at it, then his eyes grew wide. "You DRANK it?!"
"What's wrong? Wasn't it just..?" Morinaga's color drained when he realized what had probably happened.
"It's aphrodisiac, you fucking moron!"
"Eh? Why do you have aphrodisiac?!"
"It's Misaki's! I was gonna return it to him!"
"Well, why does he have it then?!"
"I'll give you a little hint, two letters; S and M!"
Morinaga blushed brighter than he ever had in his whole life. "S-Senpai, you're a mas-"
"Shut up shut up shut up, you heard nothing!" Souichi shouted, his cheeks so warm he could feel the heat coming off of them.
Morinaga fell back against the bed and moaned out loud. "Well then, what the hell am I gonna do? Can't I just-"
Souichi shook his head. "That shit's strong as hell. It won't be easy to get the effects to wear off. Besides, it's a bit hard for you to move around, isn't it?"
Morinaga had noticed it too. The aphrodisiac had rendered him practically incapable of moving. He tossed his arm over his eyes and frantically tried to think of a solution. He was so busy trying to come up with ideas that he didn't even notice Souichi until he felt a warm hand graze across his abdomen. "Senpai?"
Souichi moved so that Morinaga couldn't see his face and said quietly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Don't move so much." He dipped a slender finger below Morinaga's waistband.
"S-Senpai, what are you-"
"I said don't move so much." Morinaga distinctly saw the tips of Senpai's ears turn red.
He was going to object again, when Souichi's remaining fingers slid beneath his waistline. He bit his tongue to keep from crying out when his fingers brushed against him.
Souichi swallowed hard but didn't stop or slow down.
Morinaga grit his teeth and tried not to cry out again as white flashes burst behind his eyes. He hadn't realized he had been holding his breath, and once it was over he let it all out in a rush. He couldn't believe it.
He looked down and saw that that he problem was nowhere near gone. "Damn," he muttered. "What was in that stuff?"
Souichi couldn't take it; he leaned in and pressed his lips to Morinaga's.
Morinaga didn't even see it coming. One second he was coming down from his high, and the next... The next Senpai was winding his fingers through his hair and kissing him! A man!
But he couldn't pull away.
Souichi kept his kisses light and soft. God he loved Morinaga. He could hardly stand it, being so close to him every day and still never being able to do anything about it.
Senpai pulled away and rested his head down on Morinaga's shoulder. "Stop me," he said quietly. Morinaga couldn't believe it. First Senpai kissed him, and then he gave him a way out? But then he felt Souichi slide his fingers shyly in the gaps between his own and he let his guard down.
That was just too cute.
He yanked Souichi's hair back to get his head up and kissed him hard.
Souichi did nothing for a moment, still too stunned to move. But then he kissed him back just as hard, moaning quietly with his tongue twisting against Morinaga's. He didn't care if it was just the effects of the aphrodisiac, he wanted this man, and he wanted him now.
Morinaga pushed him to the floor and grabbed his hand, pinning him down. He finally broke away panting slightly. Leaning down to Senpai's ear, he whispered, "Senpai, this stays between us."
Souichi gave him a rushed nod before tangling his fingers in the raven's hair, looping one arm around his back and claiming his lips once more.
