Chapter 1: Initially Pure Intentions
"Damn Fucking Idiot!" Souichi grumbled as he stomped down the street. "Can never keep his friggin hands to himself!" The blond was headed towards the convenience store to buy beer after a failed attempt at romance from none other than his over-fanciful kouhai, Morinaga.
About a half hour before, when Souichi arrived at the shared apartment around 10 p.m., he was surprised by an extravagant dinner prepared by Morinaga. On the table, his kouhai had set out an extensive array of foods accompanied by delicate candlelight to "set the mood". Morinaga sat at the table with a hopeful smile set on his face and cheerfully exclaimed, "Happy Birthday, Senpai!"
As Souichi took in the sight in front of him, his mood went from shock to utter confusion to boiling anger as he realized what his lower-classman was anticipating. He had forgotten that it was August 2nd, his birthday, and apparently Morinaga had remembered. Coincidentally, Souichi's birthday coincided with the first few weeks of the semester and there was always quite a bit of work to do to set up the research plan for the next six months.
'Most likely, he only did all this so he can get me to do it with him,' Souichi thought. It infuriated him that his kouhai thought that this was a good time to be thinking about sex.
There was a nervous silence that fell between the two, then after Souichi fixed Morinaga with a glare that could scare the devil; he turned on his heels to walk back out the door.
"Wait, Senpai!" Morinaga shouted as he lunged after Souichi. He caught up to him in the foyer and grabbed his arm, soon regretting it as his senpai whipped his head around to glare at him with deadly intentions.
"Oi! Let go of me!" Souichi yelled as he tried to wriggle his arm out of Morinaga's grasp.
"But, Senpai, I made all this for your birthday. I knew that you had forgotten, so I thought I'd surprise you with-" Morinaga stammered with his words, trying to reason with his hot-headed senpai.
"Sure, and then try to get in my pants later! Isn't that right?!"
"Senpai, you're wrong! Have some faith in me won't you? I honestly wanted to do something nice for you tod-" Morinaga pleaded.
"Heh, yea right, you always have ulterior motives. If you have enough time to think about vulgar things, then you should be thinking about our research projects for this year instead! It's a critical time for us to set up our experiments for the semester and all you can do is faff around about sex? Get real!"
Morinaga stood still for a moment, offended by Souichi's allegations. He truly was trying to do something good for his senpai's birthday; of course if things turned romantic towards the end of dinner, he would have no objections.
'We haven't had sex for a month, so of course I'd love for something to happen,' Morinaga thought.
But the main goal of tonight was to pleasantly surprise Souichi with a table full of his favorite foods as a birthday present, and as usual, the opposite of what he intended occurred. When Souichi turned around to try and leave again, Morinaga pulled him towards the wall and leaned over him. Souichi was stunned for a moment due to the quickness of the event.
"…Morinaga, you basta-"Souichi words were cut off by Morinaga's mouth as he slammed their lips together.
He penetrated his senpai's mouth with his tongue, roaming around teeth and tongue with the wet appendage. After a few seconds, Morinaga only broke the kiss to allow Souichi to breathe and quickly stole his lips again. Souichi was thrashing about all the while and, at first, trying to break free of Morinaga's hold, but he slowly stopped struggling and gave into the deep kiss.
"Senpai…" Morinaga whispered in Souichi's ear.
"Ah, wai-, nngh!" Souichi moaned, but it was soon replaced by a gasp as Morinaga explored his body.
Morinaga's hand's started sliding along Souichi's sides and while holding Souichi in place with one hand, he ventured into his shirt with another. He stared into Souichi's eyes, intent on seeing every reaction.
"Senpai, I love you."
Souichi moaned as his kouhai's hands grazed his nipples; he turned his head to avoid Morinaga's intense gaze and caught sight of the candlelit table. Like a splash of cold water, Souichi came to his senses and realized that his was giving in to Morinaga's advances. In horror of his own submissiveness and seeing a chance to escape, he kicked his kouhai in the groin. Morinaga hissed in pain and fell to his knees, releasing his hold on Souichi. The man rapidly took advantage of his newly found freedom and ran to the door. Taking a moment to look back before leaving, Souichi took in the view of his kouhai slumped over in pain and snickered to himself.
"That's what you get, pervert!" Souichi yelled as he grumpily marched out and slammed the door.
"Stupid!" Souichi murmured to himself as he rounded the corner to get to the store.
The automatic sliding doors opened as he walked towards the store entrance. Once inside, Souichi was greeted by calm lounge music and a cheerful store employee.
"Good evening! Do you need any help finding anything today?" said the sunny employee as he walked through the store.
"Yea, could I have two 10-packs of Bullweiser?"
"Sure, just wait one moment over at the counter and I'll be with you in a minute."
The perky woman walked into a back room to get the order, while Souichi waited. While at the counter, he couldn't help but think about his kouhai.
The man was constantly jumping on him. Well that wasn't entirely true; usually, if he rejected firmly enough, the young man would leave him alone. But all too often, Morinaga was asking questions, constantly testing the older man's loyalty and feelings. Souichi didn't quite understand what his flatmate was still in question about. The fact that he had agreed to move in with him should have been confirmation that Souichi didn't find Morinaga's presence completely annoying.
The lady came back as quickly as she had exited with the order; Souichi paid for the beer and left the store swiftly.
While walking out, he checked to make sure he got the right amount of beer and just as he looked down into the bag, he bumped into someone. He wobbled for a moment then lost his balance; Souichi started to fall backwards and he flailed his hands forward reaching for nothing in particular. In a flurry, the man he had bumped into grabbed his arm and hoisted him back up effortlessly and before Souichi knew it, he was balanced on his two feet again.
"Watch where you're going, idiot!" Souichi barked as he turned to face the offending stranger.
The man he had bumped into was incredibly tall, quite a bit taller than Morinaga. He couldn't make out the stranger's features very well due to how dark it was outside, but he could tell that the man had dark hair, pale skin, and light colored eyes. The man looked remorseful and swiftly bowed to Souichi.
"I'm so sorry," the man said casting Souichi an anxious glance, "Did I hurt you?"
"No, but just watch where you're walking next time!" Souichi said then turned to walk away.
"Wait!" the man exclaimed walking after him.
Annoyed, Souichi turned around and glared at the imposing stranger. "What?" Souichi asked through clenched teeth. He really wasn't in the mood to deal with aggravating people right now especially after dealing with his kouhai earlier then nearly falling flat on his ass just now.
"Do you happen to know where Nagoya University is?"
"…Uh, yea," Souichi said, looking at the man in confusion, "but it's nearly 11 o'clock at night, it's not open."
"I know that, but I need the address so I'll know where to go tomorrow. You see, I'll be-"
Souichi quickly cut the man off, too annoyed to hear him out.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Do you want the address or not?"
Souichi impatiently explained the directions and address to the man, then headed back to the apartment.
Morinaga dropped to the floor and turned to lean against the wall. His crotch was still in a lot of pain, but he couldn't find the strength to get up and get ice for it. He looked over to the door that his senpai had just fled through and sighed in exasperation. Yet again, the man that he loved was running away from him…from them…
Souichi's constant refusal and denial of anything having to do with their relationship, made Morinaga feel unsettled and uncertain about whatever it was that they had with each other. Although, his senpai had shown signs that he had feelings for the younger man, his flighty behavior was perplexing. One moment he would be latching on to the kouhai, and the next, he'd be pushing him away and kicking him in the groin.
'Where do your feelings lay, Senpai? I want to have a relationship with you, but you can't be so guarded every time you're around me. I don't always have impure intentions. Granted, it's true that I want to touch you often, but isn't that normal if you're in love?
After a long time sitting in the foyer thinking to himself, Morinaga got up and limped back to the kitchen. He placed all the food in Tupperware for later use, then washed all the platters that had been left from the table.
'I wonder if Senpai would even care if I something bad happened to me?"
Morinaga asked himself the question thoughtlessly; he already knew the answer. Even though Senpai was a tyrant sometimes… scratch that, most of the time, he wasn't heartless. The kouhai hadn't forgotten Souichi's worried face when he came after him during the house fire.
Senpai…'
Morinaga finished cleaning the last of the dishes, then sat in the living room for a while, mindlessly watching television. When he realized that he wasn't even paying attention to the show, he clicked it off and went to bed.
Souichi got back home quite late and expected Morinaga to have gone to bed already; his suspicions were proved true when he entered the apartment and his kouhai was nowhere to be seen. When he walked into the living room to put down the beer, Souichi casually glanced over at the kitchen. All the food that was on the table was put away and all evidence of the prior set up was erased. He quietly strode over to refrigerator and checked. Sure enough, all the food was packed away in Tupperware. As Souichi thought back to what happened earlier, he scowled and closed the fridge; he made his way back to the living room table, plopped down on the floor, and began to drink.
