Tsuneo lived with his family in a little house in a quiet neighborhood. 'Nikaido' was written on the porch.
"I'm home," he announced as he entered, followed by Kyo.
"Tsuneo ! I was worried ! Where were you ?" his mom asked, appearing from what must be the living room door. "Eh ? Who are you ?" she added, looking at Kyo from head to toe.
"Ah… Sorry, Terada-sensei gave us a lot of homeworks, so we went to the library," Tsuneo lied. "My phone didn't have battery anymore, I couldn't call you. And he's Kyo, a friend from school."
"I'm Kyo Hanaki, nice to meet you," Kyo said formally, bowing slightly. Mrs Nikaido seemed pleased to see that he was polite.
"His parents are on a trip, so can he stay here tonight ?" Tsuneo asked, his voice casual as he lied to his mother.
"Hum ? Yes, alright," she agreed.
"Thank you very much, Mrs Nikaido !" Kyo said, bowing again. Tsuneo's mom seemed very nice, not like his own mother…
They ate dinner, improvising a discussion about fake homework. It would have been strange if they had stayed silent during all the meal. Tsuneo didn't eat much. After all the horror of the Italian mission, he didn't have much appetite. Kyo, as for him, seemed to enjoy the meal. He ate everything with appetite, thanking Mrs Nikaido for the delicious food, even though it was nothing more than usual. Tsuneo wonder if he had enough to eat, wherever he lived… Or maybe it was just because he had been dead for several days ?
After the meal, they went in Tsuneo's room. It was messy, filled with mangas, collectible items, action figures and posters of anime characters. There was a small TV in a cupboard, and a desk with a computer. The bed was covered with old clothes, mangas, and a body pillow picturing a girl from an anime.
"Ahah, sorry for the mess…" Tsuneo said, embarrassed. He hurried to hide the body pillow, and made piles with the mangas.
"So, you're an otaku ?" Kyo asked, impressed by the amount of manga-related items. He took the first manga he found, One Piece.
"Hum yea, I guess… You like mangas ?" he replied with hope.
"No, not really…" Kyo said. Tsuneo seemed disappointed. "B… But I'd like to read it, if it doesn't bother you," he added quickly. That made Tsuneo smile.
"You'll see, it's awesome ! One of the best mangas I've ever read !"
They spent the evening reading mangas and discussing them. Actually, Tsuneo was almost making the conversation himself, since Kyo didn't know a lot of mangas. He just listened quietly to what Tsuneo said, occasionally asking a question. At the end of the evening, he hadn't even finished the first volume of One Piece. They also talk about various things, like music or cinema, and they were surprised to see that they share some tastes, especially in music.
It was getting late, so Tsuneo installed a futon on the floor for his new friend. That reminded him what Kyo had said about his parents. When they were both in their beds, the silent room dimly lit by the moonlight, he thought it was the good moment to talk about more serious topics.
"You… you said that your parents have kicked you out ? So… you live in the streets now ?" he asked, embarrassed. Kyo was watching the ceiling, and took a moment before answering.
"No…" he sighed. "I… I live with other people."
"Won't they be worried that you didn't come back ?" Tsuneo asked. Why hadn't he gone back to where he lived tonight ? He didn't regret getting to know Kyo more, who was actually a nice guy, not like Kuwabara or the other veterans, but he didn't understand. Kyo had a forced laugh.
"The only thing they'd worry about is the money they lost while I wasn't there…"
"What do you mean ?" Tsuneo asked, puzzled.
"… Nothing…" Kyo answered after a moment of silence, his voice melancholic.
"Come on, I'm curious now…" he complained. Kyo sighed loudly.
"I… I don't want to talk about it !" He turned away.
"… Ok... I wasn't going to force you, you know…" Tsuneo replied, perplexed. What with this reaction ? Kyo didn't seem disposed to talk anymore anyway, so he closed his eyes, waiting to fall asleep.
"L… Let's just say that some… some men pay to… to sleep with me…" Kyo said after a while, his hands fidgeting with the blanket.
"Oh…" Tsuneo said, his eyes widening in shock. He hadn't expected that. So, Kyo was… forced to prostitute ? That must be horrible ! And why was he finally saying it ? "I'm… I'm sorry for asking…" he apologized. Kyo sighed.
"At least I don't live in the streets… I can eat and take showers and… I can buy the shit I put in my blood…"
"I… I can't even… imagine what kind of life you have. You must have been through horrible things…" Once again, Kyo had a forced laugh.
"Nothing as horrible as Gantz," he said, but Tsuneo couldn't tell if it was irony or not.
An awkward silence fell between them. Tsuneo wondered if it had really been a good thing to revive him, if he had to go back to this dreadful lifestyle. Maybe he should try to help him ? But he didn't see what he could do… It was time to sleep anyway, so after a while, Tsuneo turned on the side and tried to sleep.
It was easier said than done. He couldn't help but remember the events of the day. His mind was filled with images of the horror, the corpses, the blood everywhere, and those deadly statues coming to kill him. He could see again his arm fall on the ground, torn apart by those monsters. How could he sleep after that ?
"I heard you…" Kyo's voice said, behind his back. Was he talking during his sleep ? Tsuneo turned around, and saw that Kyo was still awake too, staring at the ceiling, wrapped up in the blankets. His hands were still fidgeting with the fabric.
"You said something ?"
"I… I heard you, during the mission, when you were surrounded."
"Uh ?" Tsuneo didn't see what Kyo was talking about.
"You said that… you didn't want to die a virgin…"
"Ahah yea… that's stupid, isn't it ?" he said with an ashamed laugh.
Kyo mumbled something, but Tsuneo didn't hear.
"Eh ? I didn't hear…" Surely Kyo was making fun of him for still being a virgin, or for being afraid to die. After all, he had been pretty useless during the Nurarihyon mission…
"I said…" Kyo began with a blush, turning his head to look at Tsuneo's face, "I said would you like to… to do it… with me !"
"Wh… What ?" Tsuneo asked, shocked, as he sat up suddenly. "Ahaha, what are you saying ? It's a joke, right ?" Kyo's cheeks turned deep red, and he turned away.
"No…" he mumbled. "It's not a joke…"
"Come on, you can't be serious, right ?" Tsuneo couldn't believe his ears. What the hell was Kyo even thinking ?!
"You… You brought me back to life… I want to thank you…"
"But… but… You don't need to thank me !" Especially like that, he thought.
"It's not just that !" Kyo said angrily, turning again to face the other boy. What did he mean, not just that ? "It's… I… Because I…" he began, before changing his mind. "Don't you want to do it ? Do you want to stay a virgin ?"
"But… We're both guys !" he argued.
"Thanks, captain obvious…" Kyo sighed, rolling his eyes. "It doesn't bother me."
"But it does bother me !" he almost shouted, before remembering about his family sleeping in the other rooms.
"You know, I… I know exactly how to please men," Kyo insisted, blushing.
"S… Stop it. I like girls, ok ?" he said to put an end to this awkward conversation.
"I see…" Kyo sighed, disappointed. "I'm sorry… Just… forget everything I've said…"
His sad face, with slightly pouting lips and puppy eyes, it made Tsuneo blush. Kyo looked almost like a girl. With his fine hair and soft features, he could be even prettier than Yamasaki, if he was a girl. The kind of girl he could have had a crush on, he thought with shame. And now, this person wanted to do it with him ? That was ridiculous…
Tsuneo knew that he was an average-looking otaku, with no particular skill or interest, and that he would probably never have a girlfriend. At least, not a cute one. He would probably stay a virgin for a long time. Unless he… No ! What was he thinking ! Not with Kyo ! If Kyo was a girl, he would probably have accepted but… As pretty as he was, Kyo was still a boy, and that… that was unthinkable. Right ?
"I… I don't… No… It's weird…" he stuttered. It was true that he found Kyo beautiful, he could be a model for magazines, but that was normal to recognize beauty even in boys, wasn't it ? That didn't mean he was attracted to him…
"But maybe… maybe we can try anyway ?" Kyo asked with hope, blushing, and bit his lip as he immediately regretted asking that. Tsuneo gulped. Oh god no… It's was dangerous… For a second, he had found it cute, the way he blushed and bit his lower lip. Damn these girlish boys who messed with the feelings of honest people !
"I… I guess…" he answered without even realizing it. What the hell, brain ! Why did he had to say that ? But it was just a try, right ? What could go wrong ? It was true that Kyo was girlish and beautiful, so maybe it wouldn't be so weird ? And if he didn't like it, he could kick Kyo out. After all, now that he had revived him, they were square, he didn't have any obligation toward him.
"Re… Really ?" Kyo exclaimed, not believing it. The expression of surprise and the hesitant smile on his lips… they were definitely cute…
"Y… yea… Come here before I change my mind…" he said, blushing and looking elsewhere.
Kyo didn't need to hear it twice. He hurried to sit next to Tsuneo. He was only wearing pajama pants that he had borrowed, but was bare-chested, so when he got up, Tsuneo involuntarily took a look. Kyo wasn't muscled at all, and was very slim. His eyes stopped accidentally on Kyo's little, rosy nipples, and his heart missed a beat. He felt his cheek turning deep red. Oh god… After all, he always had a thing for small breast, but Kyo was a guy ! Yet he looked so much like a girl, he even had hips marked almost like a girl's…
Kyo didn't seem to have noticed Tsuneo's glance, but he remarked that he had tensed up, his cheeks blushing.
"Don't worry," he whispered in a sensual voice, bringing his lips close to Tsuneo's ear. "Everything's alright. It's just you and me." Tsuneo was afraid, but it was too late to turn back now.
Kyo cupped Tsuneo's face in his hands, and gently connected their lips. It was… unexpectedly warm, but not disagreeable, Tsuneo thought with shame, a strange feeling spreading in his chest as he began relaxing. Kyo's lips were smooth, soft against his. So soft… Unexpectedly… delicious. Without thinking of it, maybe by reflex, Tsuneo put his arms around Kyo's back and brought him closer, touching, feeling his silky skin under his fingers.
"Ah…" Kyo whispered when he felt Tsuneo's hands on his back, and began kissing with more intensity, nibbling his lips.
Tsuneo felt a growing desire rise in his chest, though he didn't want it, and was afraid of it. Kyo's lips, Kyo's delicate hands gently caressing his hair, Kyo's half-naked body so close to him, all of this was so scary, yet so exciting at the same time. How ? Why ? Why was he feeling that for… for another boy ? That wasn't normal, he had to fight it !
"Kyo…" he mumbled flustered, breaking the kiss.
"You… you don't like it ?" Kyo asked, blushing, disappointment audible in his voice. Why… Why was Tsuneo finding him adorable, with his pink cheeks and his worried expression ? Hell no, he liked it, he was just frightened !
Seeing that Tsuneo didn't answer and didn't move, Kyo began to move back, his face sad. At least he had tried… But he seemed that Tsuneo didn't share his feelings… He tried to free himself from Tsuneo's arms, which were still around him. That seemed to make him react. Instead of letting go of Kyo, he tightened his grip.
"Damn…" he whispered, as he leaned to capture Kyo's lips with his own. What the hell was he doing ? He had never kissed anyone before, who could have thought that his first kiss would be for a boy ? Worst, who could have thought that he would like it ? Feeling that, that was wrong, he knew it. Yet it didn't feel wrong, it felt right, so right, so good. But so shameful… Maybe if he got 100 points again, he could have this memory erased ? Ah but… It was over, right ? They would never been called in the room again. He would never forget that he had given his first kiss to a boy… So… Maybe the only thing to do was enjoy the moment ?
Kyo was elated. For a moment he really had thought that Tsuneo didn't want him, but now he was kissing him with intensity. Kyo's skin was feeling hyper-sensitive under Tsuneo's hands, sending shivers in his spine and making him even more excited. Soon, his tongue demanded entry in Tsuneo's mouth.
Tsuneo didn't fight and granted entrance immediately, sending his own tongue in Kyo's mouth. The warmness of the other's mouth, the feeling of their tongues tangling, dancing together, was driving him crazy. So that was it, kissing ? He had never thought it would be so great. He didn't fight either when Kyo climbed on his lap. In fact, the weight and the contact between their bodies excited him.
After a while, they broke the kiss, panting for air.
"Ah… Tsuneo… You… You like it finally ?" Kyo asked with a blush, putting on his most charming smile.
Tsuneo didn't answer and closed the distance between their lips once again, hungry for the feeling. But Kyo gently pushed him back, laughing lightly, and began kissing him in the neck. God, it felt so good, Kyo's smooth lips kissing and sucking his skin. With his hands, he unbuttoned Tsuneo's pajama's shirt, slowly, caressing his chest at the same time. When he was done, his hands found their way to Tsuneo's pants, and he began touching his crotch. Tsuneo was already hard from the kiss, but feeling hands on it, it made it even worse. He tensed up.
"Kyo…" he said hesitantly.
"Shh…" the other boy purred in his ear. "Don't worry… Just lie back and relax. I'll go slowly."
Tsuneo did as indicated, but he couldn't help feeling anxious. Kyo began going down, kissing his shoulders, chest, and belly on the way. Finally arriving to the crotch, he began touching the bulge in his pants, caressing it, kissing it though the fabric.
Tsuneo was breathless, panting and moaning as Kyo touched him. Kyo pulled Tsuneo's pants off, revealing his erection and beginning to caress it with his fingertips. Tsuneo tensed up, ashamed. Kissing was something, but this… this was a different story. Just a kiss, it wasn't too serious, he could still convince himself that it was nothing, that it didn't mean anything, but if they actually had sex, it would be the point of no return. He probably had to fight, to prevent it, after all he wasn't gay ! But it was so hard moving, when he felt jolts of pleasure where Kyo was touching.
He looked at Kyo, determined to tell him to stop, but his heart missed a beat. Kyo was just too cute, with his hair falling gracefully around his closed eyes and flushed cheeks. His lips were giving just a hint of a content smile. His lips, that were on his own lips just a moment ago, so warm and soft and… and so tempting, Tsuneo thought, blushing. He gulped but didn't say anything. He couldn't say anything. He… He actually wanted to feel Kyo's pink lips around his member. Oh god… What was wrong with him ? But he couldn't help it, Kyo's fingers were driving him crazy with lust. Just when Kyo was finally approaching his lips, Tsuneo remembered something.
"W… Wait…" he stuttered, a bead of sweat rolling down his forehead.
"Uh ? You… you want me to stop ?" Kyo asked, tilting his head.
"N… No, it's just…" He turned to the side of the bed and opened the drawer of the bedside table. That was where he kept a box of tissues and a bottle of lube, for his private moments, and some condoms, though he never really had hope of using them one day. He grabbed one and gave it to Kyo, feeling awkward.
"Oh, you're right, safety first," Kyo said with a half-smile. "It's not like we could die at any time…"
"Ah… yes… So… sorry," he answered, ashamed, scratching the back of his head. He felt ridiculous. But Kyo smiled, opened the wrapper and slowly unrolled the condom around Tsuneo's hardness, using his fingers to give him pleasure.
When it was in place, Kyo began using his hands and lips together, gently kissing and licking, making Tsuneo moan. Damn, why was it so good ? He couldn't fight if it was this good ! It was so much better than using his body pillow…
He let out a "Ha…" of surprise and pleasure as Kyo began taking it in his mouth, just the head, then more and more, licking and sucking, while using his hands to caress Tsuneo's body.
Tsuneo clung to the sheets and bit his lower lips, to prevent from moaning and groaning too loudly. It was just too much, the wet feeling, the heat, Kyo's tongue swirling around his member. At this rate, he wouldn't last long…
But Kyo knew what he was doing, and he wasn't going to let Tsuneo finish this early. After a last lick, he freed Tsuneo's erection, panting. He climbed back on Tsuneo and caught his lips in his own. Tsuneo eagerly kissed back, putting his arms around Kyo's body. Kyo dug his fingers in his hair, as the kiss became more passionate, more languorous.
Tsuneo had stopped thinking, he couldn't think right anyway. He was just listening to his senses, to his body, and right now his body was telling him to crush his lips against Kyo's, to swirl their tongues together, and to tighten his arms as much as he could, bringing Kyo against him, even closer if it was possible.
"Ahah relax, I'm not going anywhere," Kyo whispered, freeing his lips from Tsuneo's.
"Oh… Sorry…" he blushed. Maybe he was hurting him. He loosened his grip.
"That's better," Kyo said with a smile. "You… you can move your hands too, you know ?" he added, replacing a lock of hair behind his ear. God… Why was he so cute ? Without thinking, Tsuneo caught his lips again and tried to move his hands, gently caressing Kyo's silky naked skin. "Yes, like that… It's good…" Kyo moaned encouragingly through the kiss.
Gaining confidence, Tsuneo began to move his hands lower, slipping them into Kyo's pants. He ran his hands on Kyo's butt-cheeks, round and soft, grabbing them, squeezing them lightly. Kyo seemed to like it, since he intensified the kiss, crushing his lips on Tsuneo's and tightening his arms around his neck.
After a while, he pulled Kyo's pants off and began hesitantly touching his entrance with his middle finger, making him moan. Girl or boy, it didn't matter anymore. He couldn't think right anymore. He felt dizzy, his heart pounding in his chest. He just wanted to drown in pleasure, and to give equal pleasure to his partner.
"Wait…" Kyo breathed, blushing heavily. "It'll hurt if you don't use lube."
"Ah… yes, sorry…" He grabbed the bottle of lube in the opened drawer and put some on his fingers, while Kyo was busy kissing and nibbling his collarbone. It was hard to focus, with him doing that, and Tsuneo put a lot of lube on the sheets.
He put his hands back on Kyo's bottom and began teasing the entrance again, slowly inserting his middle finger. It was a strange feeling, the pressure around his finger, and damn, it was hot ! But it must be even stranger for Kyo, he thought. He didn't even want to imagine what it must feel like. Kyo groaned with what looked like a mix of pleasure and pain.
"Did… Did I hurt you ?" Tsuneo asked, worried.
"N… No… I'm alright, continue," Kyo answered, smiling hesitantly, though Tsuneo could see that it hurt a little.
"R… Really ?" he added, unsure. Kyo rolled his eyes and sighed, but didn't answer. He just cupped Tsuneo's face with his hands and reclaimed his mouth once more. Therefore Tsuneo began moving his finger inside him, in a back-and-forth movement, making him moan.
Tsuneo couldn't tell if Kyo was a good kisser or not, since he had never kissed anyone else, but it was driving him ecstatic. His whole body was burning, asking for more. He wanted more… And damn, why did Kyo have to moan so seductively ?! It was just too much to bear. He withdrew his finger from Kyo's body, and, before he could say anything, grabbed him by the hips and rolled over to be on top.
"Tsu… Tsuneo ?" Kyo asked with surprise. He blushed when he saw Tsuneo's bold smile, understanding that he was serious, and bit his lower lips, his eyes blazing.
Seeing Kyo's naked, slim, almost girlish body under his, it sent a wave of desire through Tsuneo's whole body. He dived in Kyo's neck, kissing him in turn. Kyo seemed to like it, moaning and tilting his head to reveal more skin.
Tsuneo decided to be braver, and went down a little, bringing his lips to Kyo's chest, where he began licking one of his perfect nipples. It produced the desired effect, since Kyo began breathing heavier, whispering Tsuneo's name. At the same time, he put his hand back between Kyo's legs and inserted his finger again. It tightened but he continued to move his finger, and soon he felt it loosening a little.
Maybe… Maybe it was time to put another finger ? He had seen that in several hentais, and it was probably the right thing to do, given how tight Kyo's entrance still was. Hoping he still had enough lube on his finger, he brought his index next to the entrance and pushed slightly, inserting it with care.
Kyo cringed a little from the pain, gritting his teeth. But soon, it became agreeable, as Tsuneo was making back-and-forth movements and spreading his fingers to enlarge the opening. He felt hot, breathing heavily, moaning at the movements of Tsuneo's fingers inside him, and tongue against his nipple.
"Is… Is it alright ?" Tsuneo asked after a while, his cheek becoming bright red. "Can… Can I… ?" He couldn't wait any longer, but fortunately, Kyo nodded. Thrilled, Tsuneo generously applied lube on his hardness, and tried entering in Kyo.
It was so hot and tight, and so strange, with just the head inside. He could feel Kyo's muscles tighten around it, as he grimaced in pain.
"Does it hurt… ?" he asked, worrying.
"A little but… it's normal," Kyo said, his teeth gritted. "Continue but… go slowly."
Tsuneo did as he was told, and slowly inserted more of it, until all was inside. He slowly began to move back, carefully, as he didn't want to hurt Kyo. But it seemed painful anyway, since Kyo was groaning and arching his hips.
"You… you know," Kyo began with a grimace. "It'd be easier if you kissed me." Tsuneo raised an eyebrow, he didn't see how it would make it easier, and he didn't want Kyo to bit him accidentally because of the pain.
"Maybe it'd be better to stop ?" he said, though he didn't want to, surprisingly. Kyo sighed, losing patience.
"Come here, idiot… And don't you dare stop !" He grabbed Tsuneo's head and pulled it to his mouth, bringing their lips together.
Tsuneo didn't argue, he was delighted to kiss his captivating lips. Kissing helped Kyo focus on something else than the pain, and soon he was relaxed enough for Tsuneo to make back-and-forth movements. When Kyo began moaning with pleasure again instead of pain, Tsuneo realized he was so focused on Kyo's pain that he hadn't even paid attention to his own feelings.
That was it, he was doing it ! He wasn't a virgin anymore ! But… he was doing it with a guy… He couldn't decide if he was pleased or not. His conscience was telling him that it was ridiculous, shameful, immoral to do it with a boy, but his body was loving it ! He thought it was immoral because he had prejudices, because it was what everybody generally said. But his body was loving it because it had proofs. Now he knew how it really felt, and damn it was great !
He moaned and groaned as he thrusted into Kyo faster and faster, sweating and taking short, quick breathes. Hell yes, it felt good, the pressure around his member, Kyo's nails dug in his back and the kisses whenever they weren't panting heavily, as a pace was setting between their bodies.
Kyo seemed to have abandoned himself to the pleasure. He was moaning Tsuneo's name, his head thrown back in the pillow, and moving his hips in rhythm with the thrusts. Seeing the skin of his neck exposed like that, Tsuneo couldn't resist. He brought his lips to the heated skin, its scent exhilarating, head-spinning, and kissed hungrily.
It wasn't too long before Kyo moaned more loudly, his nails raking across Tsuneo's back and his muscles suddenly tightening around his member, causing him to come. Tsuneo had to bit his lip to prevent from making too much noise as he finally released, his whole body stiffening.
What… What had happened ? Had Kyo came just before him ? That was why he had suddenly tightened ?
"So… Sorry," Kyo mumbled, blushing and panting.
Tsuneo didn't answer and roll over on his back, trying to catch his breath. Oh god, what had he done ? He had really done it with a guy ? And… he had liked it ? What did that make of him ? A gay ? But… He loved girls, and he couldn't find anything attractive in someone like Kato or Kuwabara, for example… Maybe… Maybe it was just Kyo ? Sure he looked way more feminine than Kuwabara… Yes, that must be it, he thought, trying to reassure himself. He didn't like boys, really. Yet, he couldn't help but think that if he really hated it, he would have fought, he wouldn't have given in so easily…
"You hate me ?" Kyo asked with a sad voice.
Well, he should probably hate him, for turning him gay or whatever, but it was a little bit late to think about that… What's done was done….
"No, I… I don't hate you," he sighed, feeling the blood coming to his cheeks. That answer seemed to satisfy Kyo, who came snuggling in his arms. He seemed content to stay like that.
Tsuneo was worried. Now that the excitement was gone, he began to be afraid. He couldn't even imagine what his family would say if they knew what had just happened… Maybe he would be kicked out, having brought shame on the house ? Not that his parents were old fashioned, but still… Fortunately, they hadn't made too much noise. Sure they had moaned a lot, but not too loudly. Or at least he hoped. And thinking about that, maybe that was the reason why Kyo had been kicked out of his home ?
Seeing that Tsuneo didn't reject him, Kyo began drawing random patterns on his chest with his fingertips. Did… Did Tsuneo like it, having someone in his arms like that ? Sure if it was a girl, he would like it, but… He didn't have any certainties anymore… He was tired, and maybe it would feel nice to sleep next to Kyo… He sighed and put an arm around his back.
There were still a lot of thing that he didn't understand. Why was Kyo acting like that ? He was so different than from the mission… During the mission, he was determined and blood thirsty, only interested in killing the 100-pointer, but now he was acting all nice and soft. Why such a change ?
Or maybe it wasn't really a change ? After all, Kyo had saved him and protected him until his death… He had been nice, while the other veterans hadn't even looked at him. And maybe… maybe the coldness and confidence with which he killed all those aliens were caused by the drugs ? Tsuneo had seen him inject something in his arm, before being separated from the main group by the aliens.
"Why me…?" Tsuneo thought aloud.
"Uh ?" Kyo asked, raising his head from where he was resting, on Tsuneo's chest.
"F… First you saved me during the Nurarihyon mission, and now… that… Why ?"
Kyo thought for a moment before answering.
"Maybe… Maybe I like you…" he mumbled, blushing. Tsuneo's eyes widened in shock. What the hell ? Even if Kyo was gay, he couldn't like someone like him !
"What… What are you saying ? You can't be serious ! I'm… I'm a loser, and I'm not even good-looking."
"Well I… I have a soft spot for the geeky type," Kyo said, playing with a lock of his hair.
"A… A soft spot ?" Tsuneo repeated. He couldn't believe it. Nobody liked geeks, right ?
"Uh-huh… I… I much prefer guys like you than guys who show off all the time like Kuwabara or Nobu. These guys, they thing they're so cool and better than everyone, but they're just lame," he explained, determined to be honest, resting his head again on Tsuneo's chest. "You on the contrary, you showed your emotions. That… That touched me…"
"You… you mean when I was… crying like a baby, surrounded by those weak monsters ? I couldn't do anything, I should have been rather pathetic…"
"Ahaha, a little, yes…" Kyo chuckled. "But it was cute too. It made me want to protect you." He sighed. "I hadn't thought that in the end, you would be the one saving me…"
Tsuneo didn't know what to answer to that. All of this seemed really weird, he just couldn't get used to the idea…
"So… So you… like me ?" he asked, blushing and looking elsewhere.
"… Yes…" Kyo whispered, freezing. Now that he had told it, Tsuneo would probably be mad and kick him out…
"And… And… Did you enjoy… doing it with me ?"
Kyo almost burst out laughing. He hadn't expected that, and it was just too cute.
"Ahaha, you're worrying about that ?" He looked at Tsuneo's face, who blushed and nodded slightly. "Pfff idiot, of course I enjoyed ! You know… Usually I do that only for the money, and most often, when I can, I'm too high to care anyway… But with you… I… I wanted it, I did it because I wanted to, not because I was forced, and… You were doing real good, despite your clumsiness… You were attentive to me, to our bodies… I really, really liked it," he almost purred the last words.
He felt that Tsuneo had tensed up, and worried. Maybe... Maybe Tsuneo didn't want to hear that ? Maybe he wanted to hear that it had been horrible, that he had hated it, so it would be easier to kick him out ? It wouldn't be the first time he got kicked out by a guy who regretted.
"And… and you ?" he added, anxious. "Did… did you like it a little or was it… really awful to do it with a boy ?"
"I… I'm not sure…" Tsuneo stuttered, "It's weird… I think I liked it too, but I can't help thinking that we shouldn't have done that. I can't help but think about what people would say if they knew… But… But there's also a part of me that doesn't care, because it felt good anyway…"
"I see…" Kyo sighed with relief. Of course he would have preferred that Tsuneo had absolutely loved it, but at least he hadn't entirely hated it. That was a good start, he thought, snuggling closer in his arms. "Maybe you could… just listen to this part of you who liked it ? At least for tonight ?"
Tsuneo wondered if he could. What use would it be to think about regrets and question his sexual orientation right now ? It would be more productive tomorrow, after a good night's sleep, when his brain would have processed all the event of the evening. He was too tired for that anyway. For now, he could probably do as Kyo said. He could probably forget his worries, just for a night, and sleep peacefully with someone in his arms.
"I… I think I can," he said hesitantly. He put his glasses on the bedside table and turned on the side to face Kyo.
"Good !" Kyo grinned. He put a hand on his cheek and gently kissed him. Tsuneo hesitated for a second and kissed back, holding him tighter in his arms. "Sleep well," Kyo said with a lovely smile.
"Hmm, You… You too," Tsuneo answered with a blush.
Kyo buried his face in Tsuneo's chest and they both fell asleep. The day had been particularly exhausting. It was weird to think that a few hours earlier, Tsuneo was in Italy, surrounded by corpses and fighting for his life.
