Ritsuka was brooding. Yuiko and Yayoi had been together for three years now and both came to school that day, hand in hand, ears no where to be seen. Before then, Ritsuka had never had a problem with the ears that remained on his head, now thought, he knew that his two best friends had been purged of their innocence, he felt strangely left out to think he still held his.
He stood in his bathroom, door wide open, tugging his ears around wondering to himself why he hadn't yet taken Soubi up on his offer to take them. He was seventeen now, nobody blinked an eyelid when someone came to school missing the feature that held them to their childhood.
"What are you doing Ritsuka?" Soubi teased as he appeared in the doorway. Ritsuka frowned at his reflection and turned to face Soubi.
"Soubi, I think its time that you take my ears."
Soubi's eyes widened at the seriousness in Ritsuka's voice. There was no denying the 25 year old wanted to, but was curious to know what prompted the brunettes sudden change of heart. "Ri-Ri-Ritsuka are you sure?"
He nodded. "Yuiko and Yayoi came to school today without their ears and-"
Soubi sighed in realisation. "Oh, I was wondering when this was going to happen, Ritsuka, just because they lost their ears doesn't mean you have too." He ran his hand down the side of his face. "Choosing to have sex with someone is a decision that should remain purely between the two people involved and have no outside influence. You do it because you want to and you love someone, not because your friends did and you feel left out."
Ritsuka walked over to Soubi and wrapped his arms around his chest. He had grown over the years, but was still a few inches shorter than Soubi. "I want to Soubi, and I love you."
The blonde man felt his breath hitch at the words that Ritsuka had never before dared to speak. He felt fingers entwine in the back of his hair and Ritsuka leaned up to kiss him. Soubi pulled away and smiled. "How could I say no to you now?"
