Akabayashi froze in shock for a second, before starting to step back carefully,

"No, no, Shiki, you can't"

At each step back he took, Shiki stepped forward, smirking, following him until they reached the wall behind them. They stilled,

"Why can I not Akabayashi?", he asked, serious as ever, a dangerous light glowing in his eyes.

Tentatively Shiki reached out to the redhead and put his hand on his left cheek, his fingers slowly caressing the skin , causing the other one to stutter as he answered,

"B- be - because, it's been so long, and, and we changed and ..."

His voiced trailed, dying in a whisper as Shiki's fingers continued to touch him, re-discovering the other's young features,

"I don't care", he calmly stated, still examining the redhead's face, "I don't care" he continued, "I just want you, just for tonight I want you"

Troubled by the look on his face, and intersted by the promise these words were holding Akayashi hesitantly, nodded, smiling at his old high school friends as he closed the distance between them and pressed his mouth on his lips, softy, demanding.

Both of them opened their mouth, slowly growing accustomed to each other again, retrieving sensations lost for a long time.

Their tongues danced together, set on a rythm which was their own long ago.

Shiki's hands moved to the redhead's hairs, tangling into them as Akabayashi brought his arms around the other's waist, in an effort to get closer to each other.

As they started to feel the lack of oxygen they reluctantly pulled back, panting harshly against each other.

Breathlessly Shiki remarked,

"Your hairs, they changed"

"Oh is that so?"

"Yeah, they're less soft"

The redhead was grinning, "That's because I'm growing old"

"Your eye too, it's a shame the potion didn't bring it back", he said, fingers tracing the scar left on his face.

"I don't care that much, it's been 5 years, I'm used to it by now" he continued, whispering the rest of the sentence into Shiki's ears, "and I have emyou/em back"

"Even if it's just for tonight"

"It's still good to have you back" he said, tightenning the hold he had on Shiki's waist, bringing him even closer to him. The other smirked,

"So good you're already arroused?"

"Teenage hormones", he muttered, clearly embarassed.

The other lightly chuckled before pressing his lips against Akabayashi's again.
