Sunday 6th July 11.35 pm

It was a barmy summer's night there was a nice cool breeze winding its way through the air keeping the inhabitants of Tokyo at a comfortable temperature for once during the heat wave. But things were getting a little sweaty in the Shindou/Uesugi household.

"For God's sake Eiri! Could you stop pawing me for two seconds" yelled an exasperated Shuichi who was struggling to keep his pyjama bottoms up while batting away his overzealous boyfriend's hands. "I'm, trying to talk you!" he yelled again seeing no other solution he grabbed the pillow from above his head and whacked Yuki's golden crown with it,

"Hey! What the fu-…" said Eiri "That hurt you little punk!" Rubbing his throbbing temple he climbed off Shuichi and onto his own side of the bed.

"I'm sorry but you wouldn't stop and I wanted talk to you" said Shuichi pulling up his pyjama bottoms for the last time.

"You wanna talk I wanna fuck. I say the person with most upper body strength wins" said Eiri pulling a cigarette out of what seemed like thin air. Shuichi watched his lover light up the stick and take a long drag.

"But that's just it you always wanna make love"

"Fuck" corrected Eiri

Ignoring Eiri's retort Shuichi continued "I just wanted to talk to you for once! I'm tired! I've had along day I just wanted to talk then fall asleep holding you not my own ankles" Eiri responded by blowing smoke rings into Shuichi's pouting face.

"Oh come on you like it" said Eiri putting his arm round Shuichi's shoulders. He realised that if he didn't show at least a little bit of compassion Shuichi wouldn't turn around and bend over anytime soon.

"Well of course I do" said Shuichi his resolve weakening as he snuggled into Eiri's embrace "Just not all time a relationship should be based on something more than sex"

Eiri inwardly groaned he couldn't have this conversation again. Shuichi was always going on about this fictional entity that was with them, their relationship. Dear God why couldn't Shuichi just focus on them and not this three legged pair of pyjama's that seem to follow them everywhere!

"Look I'm just trying to express myself…" purred Eiri while slowly slipping his hand between Shuichi's legs.

Shuichi yelped "Oh my God! Have you even heard a word I said! Oh well I guess I can't really blame you, you have no self control" surrendering Shuichi lay back and opened his legs.

"Excuse me?" barked Eiri pulling his arms away and sitting up "I have no self control?"

"Well yeah. Yuki I'm usually just in the door and you've got me staring at the ceiling"

"You're the one who opens his legs"

"Like I have any choice! You're a freaking octopus when you're horny! Its amazing after all these years I can still walk!"

Yeah that is pretty amazing thought Eiri, "I have self control"

Shuichi sniggered "yeah right you couldn't go one day without sex"

"Neither could you, you may whine and whimper but it's not me that screams the place down when we're getting down"

"Getting down? You been watching MTV again?"

"Shut it"

"Alright" said Shuichi a smirk forming on his face "Prove it"

"Prove what? That I can go without sex for a day?"

"Five days"

"What?"

"I thought you had self control?" Shuichi mocked, oh boy he was enjoying this switch in power "Lets say until after midnight on Friday"

"Ok what do you classify as sex?"

Shuichi's eyes narrowed "Don't try and Bill Clinton your way out of this I'm talking no blow jobs, no hand jobs"

"What about kissing?"

"I guess kissing is OK and hugging" Shuichi smiled and Eiri secretly smirked this was gonna be easy there's no way Shuichi could hold out for a whole working week.

"Ok deal midnight on Friday you said?" said Eiri preparing to turn over and go to sleep.

"Wait a minute we need to lay some more ground rules like no manipulation£

"Like I would" said Eiri insulted

"Oh give over Uesugi I know you too well you'd come out the bedrrom wearing a black leather thong if it meant you would win a bet"

Leather thong?

"Rule number three no…" he mimed a back and forth gesture with his left hand.

"What?" said Eiri knowing full well what Shuichi was saying but enjoying the prospect of embarrassing Shuichi too much.

"You know? No touching yourself"

"You mean know jerking off, masturbating, taking care of number one that sort of thing?"

"Yes" said Shuichi going bright red.

"Ok that sounds doable what do I get when I win"

"If! What do you want?"

"You being my personal slave for a full week. You are to do whatever I want at home, in bed and everywhere else" Eiri grinned from ear to ear

"Ok deal. Same goes for you if I win"

Like you will you hot little nymphomaniac… Eiri smirked fir the hundredth time that night and shook Shuichi's proffered hand.

Shuichi switched of the bedside lamp and snuggled down into a fitful sleep. Eiri turned over at the digital clocks glowing green numbers '12.01am'. This time tomorrow Shuichi will be on his knees begging me to take him or will have given up already and be on his knees sucking my cock. Yeah this weeks gonna be a piece of cake.

Tuesday July 7th 1.07pm

Eiri Yuki sat in his office waiting for his final chapter to print out. Been a good day so far Shuichi had gone by the time he woke up so no temptation of any morning nookie (not that he was tempted he had self control) and he had finished his manuscript.
