Love Me Naturally
Keigo Asano was a twenty three year old man working a nine to five office job. He believed all was going good in his life. He had a great job that paid well, a nice moderate size house on the better side of town, great friends that were always able to hang out with him, and a hot boyfriend of 4 years that he come home to everyday, Ichigo Kurosaki. He thought nothing could ever ruin his good life and the great things that came with it until that day. He remembered it vividly and even now he couldn't get the image out of his head.
It was Valentine's Day at the time and he had everything planned out for him and his lover to do. Keigo was happily chatting away about the different things they were going to do that day with his lover during breakfast. A ring from his cell made him stop and groan as he knew that he was going to be called into work for something unimportant like paperwork. He left the house irritated that he had to go as his lover encouraged him to leave.
Keigo came back to the house in a better mood since his boss let him go way earlier than he expected. Unlocking his door, the brunette set his suitcase on the ground and walked into the empty living room. He had thought his boyfriend would be sitting right there waiting for him to come through the door so Ichigo could rant about what he did that day and wanted to do. He heard groaning sounds from down the hallway leading towards his bedroom and thought Ichigo was hurt. Heading towards the room where the sounds got louder, he stopped at the door that was slightly open and peered through seeing a scene that shocked him entirely. Ichigo was in between two people as he kept drilling into the woman under him as the man above him matched his thrusts driving into Keigo's boyfriend.
The woman Keigo knew as Orihime Inoue, she had gone to middle and high school with them both and was incredibly ditsy when it came to most things. The man was immediately identifiable by his tribal tattoos that covered most of his body, Renji Abarai. He was Ichigo's childhood friend and was always around the couple when they had gone somewhere unless it was a private date.
Keigo stood in the doorway speechless as they continued their movements not taking notice of the brunette standing there. "Ichigo," was the only word Keigo whispered as he stared at the three.
The orange haired male froze along with his two friends and looked towards the doorway like a deer caught in the headlights. "K-K-Keigo? Love? I-I-I-I thought you weren't supposed to be home for another hour," Ichigo said stuttering over his words as he tried to get over the shock of his boyfriend catching him cheating with two people that were very close to them both.
Keigo didn't respond to the question as he looked down at the floor. Tears welled in his eyes while he tried to stop himself from breaking down. "How long?" It was the only question he asked. He didn't want to know why as the reason might make him feel more insecure than he felt right now. He didn't want to know how since he probably already knew when Ichigo knows his working schedule. He just wanted to know when it started so maybe he can have a little hope to save his relationship.
Ichigo hesitated for a moment before saying in a guilty voice, "A little over three years."
Keigo's head snapped towards the three in shock letting them see the tears streaming down his cheeks. It seemed like the whole world stopped as Keigo bolted out of the doorway and away from the house. Ichigo and the others yelled at him to return so they could talk it out, but he didn't want to listen to bullshit reasons and kept running as far as he legs could take him.
The brunette couldn't run anymore as he stopped at a park ten miles from his house. Keigo panted for breath as he choked on the sobs. His lungs felt as if they were on fire while his heart felt like it was ripped in two. He couldn't stop himself from crying as well as emptying his lunch into the grass under his feet. Nothing could have prepared him for what he had witnessed today. His boyfriend with two of his close friends having sex in the bed where he lays his head at night. It dawns on him as he thinks of how many times he has gone to sleep with their juices still on the bed. The brunette pulls out his cell phone and calls the only one who would know he where was and that would come get him. He listened to the phone ring as he prayed to himself for the other person to answer.
"What?" A gruff voice answers with irritation.
Keigo was still choking on sobs as he spoke to the person. "I-Ikkaku? C-Can you come and get me?" He asked, his voice shaky trying to stop himself from crying again.
"Keigo? Is that you? Where are ya?!" Ikkaku nearly shouted when he heard the brunette trying to stop himself from shedding tears.
Keigo looked around for a sign to tell him where he was. "Ai Park…." He responded to his best friend. Ikkaku told him he was coming while telling his boyfriend that he would come back.
Keigo sat there in the park with his knees drawn to his chest waiting for Ikkaku to come get him. It wasn't long until he saw the bald man running towards him while calling his name. Keigo launched himself at the taller man and crying in his chest. Ikkaku sighed knowing he wasn't going to get anything out of him at the moment as he wrapped his arms around the smaller male giving him comfort that he needed.
After a few minutes of the hugging in broad daylight at a park, people started to look at them weird. This made Ikkaku angry as he yelled at passers-by to mind their own business and ushered Keigo to his car. The two drove around for a bit before the bald man sighed in annoyance. He knew he wouldn't get anything out of the brunette unless he forced it out.
"You mind telling me what the fuck made you cry like that? You haven't cried since you've got with the berry fucker." Ikkaku said keeping his eyes on the road. He missed the way Keigo tensed up at the mention of his orange haired lover or ex-lover.
Keigo sighed and explained what had happened from the time he woke up that day to before he called Ikkaku. "Three years, Kaku… Three fucking years… How could I not see it? How couldn't I notice something was wrong?" The brunette asked his best friend hoping he could give him an answer.
Ikkaku shrugged and glanced at Keigo. "I don't know man. You were always trying to be the perfect lover. I guess Fuck Berry wanted more or he's just a whore. I'm betting on the latter. I swear I saw him get gang banged by the basketball team in the locker rooms back in high school." He said smirking.
The smirk didn't last long as they arrived at Ikkaku's house. The bald man turned to Keigo with a stern look. "You're not going back there. Stay here with me and Yumi for a while." Keigo to protest before Ikkaku held his hand up. "Don't worry about yer things. I'll call Kenpachi and Nnoitra to go with me to get all yer shit. We'll do that another time. You get yer ass in the house. I'll be in there in a minute." He said ushering the smaller male in the house.
Keigo went inside without protest only to be pounced on by Ikkaku's effeminate lover, Yumichika. The brunette didn't notice his phone wasn't on him as Ikkaku went to get something out of the car and saw the device vibrating. He looked at the front seeing the orange haired man's name and sneered. He pressed answer and waited for the man to speak.
"Hello? Keigo? Listen Keigo, I'm sorry. I love you. It was just lust and nothing more. Please come home Kei. Please."
The bald man listened to his best friend's lover whine into the phone with false sincerity. Ikkaku grabbed the phone, growling into it. "Listen here bitch; Keigo isn't coming back to ya. Take yer slut ass somewhere else with that fake love shit. We don't need ya hurting him. Take a hint and beat it before I see ya because when I do it won't pretty." He sneered and hung up.
"Ikkaku?" The man turned when he heard two voices calling his name.
He scratched the back of his head hoping they didn't hear what he had said as he dropped the phone on the ground behind him. Walking towards the two, he wrapped one arm around Yumichika's waist and the other around Keigo's shoulder as he led them into the house and away from the phone vibrating on the ground.
