Under The Eaves
"I stole a glance I didn't mean to take."
It was late in the evening when Sakura arrived home. Her sleepover with Tomoyo had been cut short by a power outage, so the two decided to go to Sakura's house instead.
The two stepped inside the front hallway and took off their rain jackets. Their cheeks were red and rosy from the warm fire crackling in the living room fireplace. The weather outside was cold and windy, and branches littered the streets.
"I'm so glad we're out of that storm," Tomoyo said.
"No kidding! It's freezing out there," Sakura said as she lit the stove burner to make hot chocolate. "My brother and Yukito are studying, so let's be quiet."
"They're home from college for the holidays! Why are they studying?"
Sakura giggled and shrugged. "I don't know, They are always studying, aren't they?"
"Always. It's near obsession."
"Those college scholarships won't earn themselves."
"Speaking of studying, we should get to started, too. We have that big project due a week after winter holiday ends."
Sakura groaned. "Don't remind me." She had once wished she was in high school, but middle school was hard enough.
Tomoyo laughed at her un-studious friend. "At least they let us have partners for our study projects."
"That's true. Watch the water, I'm going to go get the textbook," Sakura said. Tomoyo nodded and she quietly went up the stairs. Since their father was gone, Sakura decided to check in on Touya and Yuki, at least to tell them that her and Tomoyo would be home tonight.
Her brother's door was ajar, but the lights inside were dim. If they had fallen asleep, she and Tomoyo would have to be extra quiet that evening. Sakura crept over to the room and peered inside. Her eyes widened as she realized that they had not fallen asleep early: they were in bed together.
In the light of one lit lamp, Yuki's pale, naked body shone like a diamond. His glasses and clothes lay forgotten on the floor, and the bare man lay in contrast to Touya, who still had most of his clothes on. Sakura found she was unable to look away as Yuki stretched, revealing every soft muscle, every organ, every dizzying, heated fiber. Sakura had never seen a naked man before, and despite her brother's presence, she was momentarily entranced.
Touya bit down on Yuki's neck, causing the boy to let out a strangled moan. His back arched and his head tipped back. The lamplight caught his face, illuminating his clamped eyes and twisted, anguished face. Both boys breathed heavy and ragged, past the point of simple arousal. Yuki whispered something on his breath and Touya grinned, kissing his face with heated love. Hands trailed along damp flesh, under and over binding cloth, on heavily wrought muscles and soft, giving tissue. Breath became more and more audible as the hands moved lower and deeper. Yuki opened his eyes and gazed at Touya. Even if he was nearly blind without his glasses, a loving smile spread over his face, understanding the look Touya reciprocated. The darker boy gripped the pale, fingers gently encircling the palest part of all on the other boy's body.
Sakura quickly looked away. It had been but a few mere seconds, but she knew she would never see her brother and his friend in the same way again.
