Apodysophilia - Chapter Two -
Akira had a tough time trying to fend Shirogane off him while they entered his house. Thankfully, the Shadow hadn't tried anything funny with him as they walked back through the street, as that would've looked really weird to people who couldn't see Shirogane (i.e. – everyone except those at Bar Still mostly). Well... it would've looked weird anyway.
However, as soon as they made it through the door of his bedroom, Akira was tackled to the floor, managing to land on his front with a grunt. Akira glared into the floor then sighed as he felt Shirogane straddle his back to hold him down. Shirogane chuckled lightly and danced a finger over Akira's back, smirking when he saw the teen shiver slightly.
"Mind getting of me?" Akira turned his head slightly to glare up at the shadow, who smiled innocently back at him while taking his hat off.
"No. I quite like seeing you underneath me like this."
Akira blushed slightly and growled while clenching his fists. "How can you be so damn forward without getting embarrassed by the stuff you say?" He muttered while trying to push himself up off the floor. Shirogane chuckled lightly again then, after placing his hat and cane beside them on the floor, leant down so his upper body was flush against Akira's.
"It's because I want it too much Akira-Kun." He whispered huskily into Akira's ear, his smirk increasing further when the teen let out a small groan and his cheeks reddened. As Akira let his body go limp for a few seconds, Shirogane thought he'd given into him and was shocked that it had been that easy, before smiling and lowering his head to kiss the back of his neck.
As he leant down and moved his weight onto his hand with the other hand brushing his long hair behind his ear, Akira used that to forcibly push himself up, causing Shirogane to topple off him which gave Akira the chance he needed to shoot away across the room.
He stood up and turned to face Shirogane, who stayed on his knees, and held his forearm against his mouth while glaring down at the shadow. Shirogane looked up at him with a smug expression as he noticed Akira's flushed appearance but made no move to advance toward him.
"It's not just because of the Kokuchi scratch I'm doing this you know." Shirogane said after a few moments as he let Akira catch his breath. He was amused to see how flustered the teen had become just from him pinning him down to the floor, and this gave him hope that if he kept persisting, eventually Akira would let his guard down completely and let him in. "It is true that I like you."
"I..." Akira started then stopped and sighed, running a hand through his hair tiredly. "Seriously Shirogane. Stop messing around with me. I don't buy the whole 'Kokuchi scratch disease' thing, so please just drop the act. And stop messing with my emotions here! I'm not... no wait, I mean, I don't... I've never..." He kept faltering while becoming more flushed and embarrassed, which made Shirogane raise an eyebrow in question.
"You've never what, Akira-Kun?"
Akira looked up at him then looked away in shame. "I've never been... With someone like what you're implying..."
Shirogane's eyes widened in shock, momentarily forgetting about the 'disease' he was supposed to have, as he watched Akira's face turn completely red, covering his mouth with his face turned away so he couldn't see Shirogane's expression. 'He's never been intimate with someone before?' Shirogane thought while feeling a small pang of guilt that he'd forced that information out of the teen. 'I guess that's why he's never responded openly to my advances... because he knows that's what I want to do... And it's not as if he doesn't like me at all, because he's never said anything to suggest it otherwise.'
"Wait, so does that mean I was your first kiss?" Shirogane couldn't help but ask, as he remembered how he'd turned Akira into a Shin. Akira looked back at him and nodded embarrassedly, his face still red. Shirogane smiled and stood up, then smirked as he thought of another question. "Did you like it?"
Akira's eyes widened at the question and he looked as if he were about to growl and walk over to him threateningly, but instead he just shrugged. "Well, I have nothing to compare it to." He said and looked down at his feet. Shirogane then remembered the 'disease' he was supposed to have and walked slowly over to him. He felt as if he didn't push him now, he would have lost his chance.
"Well, that's not all I can offer..." He said as he reached up to place a hand on Akira's jacket. Before he touched him, Akira took a step back, cursing inwardly as he felt himself back up against a set of draws.
"Shirogane please... Stop messing with-"
"I'm not messing with you." Shirogane interrupted, making Akira tilt his face up to look at him questioningly as his voice hardened slightly. "Akira-Kun, I really do like you. The disease is only feeding my desire more and bringing it to a head..." When Akira looked away from him, he sighed deeply then clenched a hand and took a step back. "If you really don't want me, then I'll lock myself into another room and force myself to suppress these feelings while I have this..." He smiled sadly and turned to start walking away.
He made it to the door and had just started to open it when he heard Akira run towards him, then turned just in time to see the teenager slam a hand against the door. He looked down at the ground for a few moments, as if trying to think up his next move, while Shirogane's eyes widened in shock at what he had just done. He stayed frozen like that momentarily, watching to see what the teen did next, but opened his eyes further when Akira lifted his head and pressed his mouth firmly against Shirogane's.
The kiss only lasted a few seconds, with neither man moving their lips at all, until Akira pulled away slightly and looked into Shirogane's eyes with a peeved yet slightly determined look. "Damn Shadow... Where do you think you're going after all that's happened...?"
"A-ano...?" Shirogane raised an eyebrow, his voice slipping back into the higher-pitched playful tone, as Akira then grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the bed. Shirogane felt his heart skip a beat in excitement at how forceful Akira was being, then he yelped as he was thrown down onto the mattress. Akira looked down at him and just a slight blush now tinted his cheeks as he folded his arms.
"Listen... I may not know much about this kind of thing but... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt about this disease, and also about your feelings. So tonight... I'll let you do whatever you want... but just for tonight you understand?"
It took Shirogane a few seconds to answer, as he looked up in shock at what Akira was suggesting, but after he had processed it, the corner of his red lips turned up into a smile. "Akira-Kun... Are you sure?"
Akira swallowed and nodded determinly. "Mmm." He hummed firmly, then lowered his head down to brush his lips temptingly against the other's. "And not a word to the others."
"Hai, Akira-Kun..." Shirogane breathed against the teen's lips, both of them shutting their eyes as Akira closed the gap between them and capture Shirogane's lips in a kiss again.
Dark: I know I kept switching to a few Japanese words, but it would feel weird if they just spoke entirely in English here ;) Stay tuned for the next chapter!
