Chapter 2

It was not the strong Australian sunlight, streaming through the lightly veiled wall to floor paned windows that flooded the Honeymoon suite with light and heat that awoke the sleeping dark haired male, nor was it any loud outside audio which disturbed his slumber; if anything this suite being situated on the top floor kept it away from the bustling of tourists on the streets below and the sounds from the harbour was came across as more background noise. Nor was it any hotel porters knocking to bring breakfast in bed (though he wish he could of pre-ordered breakfast as he felt an empty pang in his stomach but he didn't want to risk any uproar if the porter happened to notice the gender of his naked spouse), no Sousuke was a very light sleeper on occasions when an important event would be happening the next day. His mind would not be able to shut off in fear of over-sleeping, subconsciously he knew he wouldn't be able to drift off into a deep peaceful sleep even though it was his body craved after last night's activities. His body was aching, crying out for proper rest, it had been pushed to beyond it usual limits but of course the booked flight later that day and the return to Japan had woken him. A quick glance to the clock on wall revealed it was 11:45 – 5 hours until take off, his glance fell from the wall opposite down to the quietly snoring little red-head that was spooning in his lap, the same position he had fallen asleep in.

Sousuke had no idea where his all his reserves of stamina came but he managed to go from early evening from when they had booked in until the time the sky had started lightening to reveal the break of dawn, and a small inner part actually felt proud and congratulated himself on 'an award winning performance' for it certainly had been memorable and 'wedding-night worthy' but really, more than anything, he felt proud and total adoration towards the smaller male snuggled to him – Rin had, and always had, played an equal part in their love-making; he would always give back as much as he got, when Sou would start to tire Rin would happily take control of the speed and rhythm of the thrusts and even though he bottomed 99.9% of the time (they had tried to switch in the past a few times to try it out but preferred their respective roles of Sou as Seme / Rin as Uke) Rin still loved to top, he still felt in charge that way. Their wedding night they had definitely tried a variety and shared the role of dominant partner however as Sousuke's attention became transfixed on that angelic face which had leaned at such an angle that he could still reach those lips to kiss, he become overcome with a sense of guilt – it was still Rin's body that was on the receiving end, him that was being slammed into, his body that was taking the full pleasurable punishment – another reason the light sleep – Rin needed to sleep, and of course to Sousuke, Rin's health and recuperation was way more important than in own in his eyes, again he would always put Rin's need and welfare above his own. It was due to this that Sousuke didn't just push Rin flat onto his back and take him again, no, he restrained himself and decided to let his husband sleep for another 30 minutes before waking him to leave for the airport.

Tightening his grip around him, pulling the slim physique ever closer so there was no space between them, Sousuke rested his chin on Rin's shoulder, breathing in his scent which was actually oddly reminiscent of Sakura, and let his eyelids lazily droop. Sousuke could not tell if his eyes ad been closed for a few seconds or a few minutes, nor could he tell if he had napped or just daydreamed, however he knew this time for certain what had roused him back to consciousness. That cute, perfect, rounded little ass that he knew so well and adored oh so much, that had spent the whole time since they had finally fallen asleep nestled against Sousuke's crotch was now in fact gyrating in slow circular movements. Sou lifted his head to look over at Rin who's head was turned in the opposite direction so he could not tell if Rin had awoken too or was simply just moving about in his sleep. Sou wouldn't complain either way and just enjoyed the sensation he was receiving. As the gyrating though started to gather speed, no longer Rin's hips making circular movements they was thrusting back and forth ON Sousuke! It was at this moment Sousuke realised the obvious... he was inside Rin. Questions buzzed into brain, "When did I put it in?" "Did Rin?" "Had it been in since we dozed off?" "Is it so use to it's new home that it found it's own way?" Sousuke's train of thought was interrupted by a suppressed giggle and a hand that reached back to grab hold of his thigh, both for support and to provide extra leverage, the dark haired male more than happily let his lover ride pleasure himself upon him. The sounds emitting from the red-head not only told Sou that his husband was fully awake but also he was getting very close to going over the edge, an eruption Sou could also feel building in his lower parts.

The pair had by now very imitate knowledge of each other bodies, not only physically did they know every single inch, freckle and scar, on an emotional, even spiritual level, their bodies had learnt to work in perfect unison with each other – they truly would become one in more than just the obvious way(!) - this time was no different as both reached their climaxes together; Rin emptying over Sousuke's hand which had been helping him, Sou emptying deeply inside him.

Rin let out a triumphant sigh as he fell back against Sou, his head jerking round, pouting for a kiss, morning breath didn't matter to either of them.

Eventually when it slipped out of it's own accord, spilling the watery contents that had not swam in the opposite direction all over the silky sheets, Rin twisted his whole body around so he was face to face.

"Ohayo my love," Sousuke whispered softly, pushing a red strand behind Rin's ear so he get a clearer view of those big scarlet eyes that had first caught his attention when they was just children.

"Ohayo," yawned Rin "time to go yet?"

"Hmm-mmm," murmured Sousuke against Rin's mouth when the yawn finished

"20 more minutes?" Rin asked, pecking the lips placed on his

"You can sleep on the aeroplane if you're still sleepy, we still need to -," Sousuke was stopped mid-sentence when a slender finger was pressed against his mouth accompanied by a 'shhhh'

"I'm not sleepy. It IS our honeymoon... One more time?"

Sousuke let out a deep sigh, a response of slight disappoint at himself at how he could always give in so easily to Rin, not only out of love for him but those eyes … Rin always knew how to utilise them to his advantage and dammit! why did Rin have to fondle his earlobe? Rin had learnt within the first week of dating where Sou's weak spot was – his earlobes, during one of their first make-out sessions while Rin was spreading smooches all over Sou's face, including cheeks and neck, his trail of kisses led up to his lovers ears, the moment Rin took Sou's right earlobe between those filed down teeth and tickled the flesh with the tip of his tongue Sousuke had tried hard to resist however he ended up as a gooey giggling mess.

"OK..," Sousuke suddenly sat up into a kneeling position, Rin letting out a little cry as his head hit the pillow from the loss of Sou's chest as a support, reached out his palms to which one was wrapped around Rin's cute ass and the other slotted underneath his knees thus scooping his newly-wed husband up bridal style, "... One more time. But in the shower."

The maroon-haired shark wiped a tear away as he scanned the pure azure of the Australian sky as it met the pacific ocean on the horizon, so pure, untainted, clear and beautiful. Just in front was the world-famous symbolic Sydney Opera House, not exactly Rin's scene but he felt a pang of guilt at not visiting as it was his last few hours here. A hand suddenly appeared in front of his face, blocking his landscape view of Sydney from the balcony, presenting him with his morning coffee, the other wrapped around his dressing gown adorned waist as he leaned on the white block railing.

"Rin, you seem...sombre," worried Sousuke

"Just taking a last final look.," explained Rin, taking his drink and sipping the milky-brown sweet liquid, "All the time I was here as a child, my trip with Haru and then the last couple of years I never fully appreciated what a beautiful country it is. I have fallen in love with this country Sou and now I have to leave and who knows now when I will be back."

"Hey now, there's nothing to say we can't return again after the Olympics is over. A four year window to train up for the next one. I'm sure we can fly over sometime."

"Do you really think it will be that easy darling? Maybe I have let my hopes run away with me but what if I do become an Olympic star?"

"I don't follow," said a confused Sousuke, reaching for the coke he had brought out on the balcony too but so far of course had wanted to serve Rin's coffee first, "that's what you want, but you have dedicated your life too."

"Look at the lives of some previous Olympic stars, now they are nothing but second-rate celebs brainwashed by stardom. They have their lives controlled moped Rin, head back against Sousuke but eyes never leaving the ocean view.

"You and your over-active imagination. You're thinking too far ahead nut one thing is for sure, whatever happens, I would never let anybody exploit you," smiled Sousuke, hugging Rin even tighter for reassurance.

"Don't you ever think into the distant future?"

"Only a future with you in it, that's all that matters"

"I'm being serious Sousuke! Do you have any plans for our future"

"Well if you was a celebrity Olympian you would be rich, then we could buy an apartment in Japan and a villa in Australia so you could be back here." Rin just playfully jabbed in him ribs with his elbow as he drunk up the last of his coffee, "Rin honestly as long as I can be by your side I do not care where our future takes us, as long as you are happy. The two of us."

"You mean three."

"Three?"

"Surely someday we will hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet."

"You mean... ," Sousuke shot a hopeful glance towards Rin.

"Well we certainly get a cat or dog won't we," Rin laughed turning his back on the view and facing Sousuke instead to lock lips again handsome hubby. Sousuke couldn't help but feel a little disappointed by this statement. After a few lashes of warring tongues, the larger male caught Rin's chin to stop him, resting his forehead against his.

"We really should be getting dressed and ready to leave now."

"Same procedure, I sneak out first?"

"Mm-hm, you call us a cab to the airport and then hopefully by the time I finished paying and clearing our booking, it should of arrived."

"Pay? It was Lori and Russell's gift."

"I think there must be an extra charge for use of the mini-bar and I bet you there will be a charge for replacing those bedsheets and losing the shower head."

x-x-x-x – Sourin – x-x-x-x

The cab pulled up outside Sydney International Airport only 30 minutes later, shoving a handful of dollars to the driver, the pair departed the vehicle and bustled their way through the holidaymakers and tourists to try and find Lori & Russell. Not only did the older couple want to wish their son and son-in-law a goodbye and safe journey home but Lori and Russell had arranged to bring all their luggage along so the newly-weds didn't have to drag it back and forth from the hotel. They easily found them at the departure lounge.

"Rin!" exclaimed Lori, waving him over, "Enjoy your gift?"

"Lori," Rin blushed, "we celebrated good if that's what you mean."

"Good to hear. Now Sousuke, we entrust Rin to you. Take car of him."

"No worries there Sir," Sousuke stated, shaking Russell's offered hand, "Thank you both for everything you have done for us, for taking me into your home and the job."

"Bye Lori, Bye Russell. We will come back soon to visit hopefully," Rin hugged his second parents

"Next time we see you, we expect to see 10 gold medals," giggled Lori.

"I will try for 11! Until then we will keep in touch."

After exchanging goodbyes, hugs and a few tears (mainly from Rin) the kindly Australian home-stay parents stayed and watched their future Olympic champ and his husband and unknowingly the very start of their future adopted grandchild, board the plane back to Japan.

A few distasteful glances thrown in lovers' direction, a few people purposefully stepped out of their way, the odd negative murmurs were uttered upon seeing two young men wandering through Tokyo airport holding hands, but to Sousuke and Rin, neither cared. Old-fashion prejudice never bothered Sousuke, nobody but Rin's opinion ever had any effect on him but Rin being the sensitive type would visibly become emotional at negative reactions to their relationship, but today he was totally unfazed. Nothing could deter him from his happy mood or erase the smile that went from ear to ear. From his free hand, Sousuke contently sipped from his Cola can that he purchased from a free-standing vending machine dotted around the airport where as in Rin's, he swung a designer paper bag emblazoned with the logo of one of the many clothes store at the airport which contained his brand new pair of red high-top sneakers which Sousuke had just lovingly purchased for him. Sousuke could see easily by how Rin's sudden sprint into the shoe store and over to where these sneakers was displayed that Rin had fallen in love with them, Sou had no problem dipping into his credit card for them, Rin's favourite exercise apart from swimming was jogging, an activity he would do everyday resulting in his current pair becoming tattered and worn therefore Sousuke had used this as the excuse to buy them when Rin had flat-out refused, he didn't want Sousuke to get the impression he was with him simply for gifts which Sou would never think that but he still brought them as he could see how much his Rin wanted them and of course anything that made Rin happy made him happy. As they was leaving the store with the new purchase, the red-haired shark had whispered in explicit detail exactly how he was going to repay Sousuke later.

"I was thinking," mused Rin, his gaze catching the perfume duty-free shop they was passing on their way to collect their luggage, "maybe we should buy Gou a gift."

"We did get her the designer clothes back in Australia and that koala plushy," Sousuke took the last few sips of cola and tossed it into a nearby trash can, "but hey you wanna get her something else it's up you."

"Maybe Seijuro too, still not sure if he will like the didgeridoo."

"I'm still not sure it will make it past customs," stated Sousuke following Rin up to the male aftershaves.

"Well it made it through the Australian one." Rin commented, picking up several of the aftershaves, reading them through and testing a few, "Hmm I can't chose, babe you pick Sei's, I'll pick Gou's."

Sousuke had already chosen his brother-in-law's aftershave and paid while Rin was still having trouble with all the female perfumes. Watching Rin try on all the female scents amused Sousuke greatly but he stood pateintly by and tried to not let the smirk show on his usual stoic face he wore in public. He passed the time by creatng a mental image of where he had to give Rin's muscular but soft body a very intense and thorough scrubbing to remove the sickly sweet mixture of flowery and fruity scents.

"Maybe I'll just get her this one, I remember a bottle like this on her dressing table when she was 14... Maybe she still likes it. I'll get this oth- ,"

Rin was cut off mid-sentence by a strangling embrace.

"ONII-CHAN!" came the sing-song girly voice from the young female who had caught Rin in a hug so tight he was choking

"GOU!" spluttered Rin, untangling himself from her grip and holding his sister at arm's length before pulling her back into a warm loving cuddle. Looking over his one year younger sibling with her long red hair, exactly the same shade as his, up in a ponytail, staring up at him with those giant red eyes which also was the same colour as his, seeing the female version of him made the shark burst into tears again. The fact he had been away from his little sister who he adored and helped raise since their father passed away in a boating accident when he just a boy, suddenly all flooded back and he needed to hold her, to remember that familiar feel of home and family. Three years had passed since he had last seen her in the flesh, he had left her as teenager and now was standing here before him was a young woman, it made him cry more.

Gou broke the hug first and went to hug Sousuke, who to her was already like a second brother. Sousuke growing up as best friends with Rin made Sousuke almost like family as he was always a permanent visitor at the Matsuoka's whether it had been Christmas, birthdays or just sleepovers, Sousuke had been there and had always looked out for Gou as Rin had, also playing the big brother role. Of course, when they announced that they was in fact dating, a few weeks after Sousuke had transferred to Samezuka and re-united with Rin, Gou just took him as family, he was her brother too and this is how she greeted him with the same honorfic. However, although she was more than thrilled with them being lovers, she wasn't as happy that they married, she showed her displeasure of their marriage by punching Rin in the arm when they was finally got to the car park and started loading their suitcases into the trunk of Gou's car.

"Hey what was that for?" Rin complained, rubbing it dramatically even though it didn't hurt at all as he climbed into the front passenger seat.

"For getting married!"

"You know I love Sou, there's no-one I would of -"

"For getting married without me as bridesmaid," laughed Gou, "couldn't you have waited until you got back to Japan at least."

"How about me and Sou have another wedding, a big one and you can be in charge of arranging it all," offered Rin smiling back at her, relieved.

"And as an apology, you can even design Rin's dress and veil," injected Sousuke as he strapped himself in the back.

"Hey! You're suppose to be on my side!" Rin shot back at his husband.

The three was too busy joking and playfully arguing about what Rin's future wedding dress should be like that the journey from the airport to Gou and Seijuro's home seemed to fly by and before they knew, Gou was pulling up into her driveway. The males mouths dropped upon viewing her home.

"Gou... You really live here?"

Sorry people it's cut short but I would prefer to make it shorter and give you something to read rather than leaving all my lovely followers waiting for more. I also want to apologise for not wrting the lemon for the wedding night but I feel as its such a special moment, and so monumental to this fic (ie the time their baby was concieved) it's much more special and romantic if you imagine it yourself.

Thank you for reading xx
