CHAPTER 3

Haruka was climbing up the stairs that led to his house from Makoto's. He dragged his feet and took his time, constantly thinking of Makoto and how he still acted like the nicest guy on the planet, even After Haruka had mistaken him for another guy in bed.

"Tsch, he even apologized to me… He is too nice for his own sake." He beat himself up for it.

He played with his keys, and already planned how he'll dive into the tub after he arrives home. All of the sudden, he saw a man sitting on his doorstep, curled up, with his head between his knees. The man looked up upon hearing Haruka approaching.

"You! What are you doing here?!" Haruka was irritated when recognizing Rin. He couldn't decide if it was actually worse than seeing a stranger who might just want to rob or attack him.

"Haru?! I… I don't know." Rin was visibly confused as he looked around and was genuinely surprised at how he found himself in Haruka's front yard. The last thing he remembered was how we went out running… He must have come here automatically.

"What do you want?"

"Nothing. What are you doing out so late?" Rin stood up and approached Haruka.

"That's none of your business. The real question is why you're standing in front of my house in the middle of the night?!"

"Are you coming from Makoto's perhaps?" Rin snarled. "It figures… So it's true."

"Don't change the subject! I asked you why you're here."

"It's obvious you don't want me here, so I'll leave." Rin was offended.

"You definitely should, since you're so damn good at it." Haruka said through his teeth, but it was loud enough for Rin to hear it.

"What's that supposed to mean?!" He turned around and pushed at Haruka's chest with his fingers, causing him to lose balance for a moment.

"You know what I meant." Haruka looked at the ground, avoiding Rin's fiery gaze. "But I've managed to keep it in the past and forget about what a bastard you were to me."

"We were twelve! How could have I possibly known what I wanted from life back then?! And you! You're always so distant and emotionless, how can I know how you feel if you refuse to say it out loud?!" Rin's face came closer and closer to Haruka's. He was really upset how stoic Haru was when he himself was burning with emotions. "I've said some hurtful things in the past, but it's all been triggered by this stone face of yours." He raised his hand and gently touched Haruka's right cheek. "If only you loved me half as much as swimming, I would have been satisfied."

They stood like that, only few inches away from each other, Haruka staring at the ground and Rin at Haruka. The gentle night breeze ruffled their hair a little when finally, Rin stepped down.

When he was ready to turn around and leave, Haruka grasped his sleeve and held it firmly for a while until finally taking up some courage to say something. "I loved you though, Rin. More than swimming…"

"Haru…" Rin turned around and cupped Haruka's face between his palms. "Look at me, Haru. I need you to look at me!"

Haru's blue eyes turned to Rin's face and all of the sudden he saw the same kid he was five years ago, insecure and on the verge of tears.

"Rin… you shouldn't have come here tonight."

"Why?"

"I might make a huge mistake right now." Haruka sighed and kissed Rin's lips gently, while putting his arms around his back and pulling him in closer.

Rin moaned into the kiss as he opened his mouth so that Haru's tongue could move around more freely. He cupped Haruka's ass with his hands and squeezed it, causing the dark haired boy to move his hips into Rin's body.

"Let's go inside." Rin suggested, still unable to move away from Haruka.

Haruka fumbled the keys, trying to guess which one opens the front door, while Rin hugged him from behind, planting gentle kisses on the nape of his neck.

"Wait, Rin…"

They stumbled as they entered the hallway and Rin pinned Haruka down on the floor.

"I need you, Haru…" He whispered as he touched his body all over, lifting up his shirt and caressing the firm muscles of Haruka's abdomen. He started unbuttoning his pants and pulling them down, as he was in pursuit of Haruka's member hidden under layers of fabric.

Something buzzed in Haruka's pocket, apparently he's just gotten a message. Rin ignored the buzzing and continued, now removing his underwear and setting Haru's cock free. It was hard and flapped right onto Haruka's lower stomach. Rin grabbed it into his hands and started massaging it, pulling down the foreskin of Haruka's uncircumcised member.

"My phone…" Haruka gasped for air and tried to reach the pocket of his jeans that were now around his ankles.

"Don't spoil the mood, Haru…" Rin grinned and licked the head of Haruka's cock, causing him to flinch.

The sensation of Rin's wet tongue made Haruka forget all about his phone as he threw his head back and grabbed hard onto Rin's hair as the red head bobbed up and down.

"Ah, Rin! Yeah…" Haruka was panting as he wanted to feel Rin more.

"You like this?" Rin asked proudly, knowing the answer from Haruka's heavy breathing, moaning and holding onto his hair tightly. He pumped Haruka with one hand while cupping and squeezing his balls with another and licking the head of his cock, probing its shaft with his tongue.

"I'm close… enough, Rin!" Haruka announced as a warning for Rin to move if he didn't want to have his mouth full of semen.

"Damn, his fast…" Rin thought but still had his mouth all over Haruka's tip. Few more base pumps and ball squeezing and Rin's mouth was full of thick white liquid.

"Sorry, I warned you though." Haruka looked at Rin while he made uncomfortable faces while swallowing his cum.

"Didn't think there'd be gallons of it." Rin chuckled and wiped off the rest that was on his lips.

"Shut up!" Haruka felt a bit ashamed. He reached into his jeans to see what that message was about.

Makoto

Haruuuu! See you at school tomorrow, don't worry about tonight ;) 3 love you

Haruka stared at the screen and read the message over and over, thinking he didn't deserve someone like Makoto.

"Who's it from?" Rin was curious, for a moment ignoring that he himself had a hard on that didn't get taken care of yet.

"None of your business."

Rin angrily reached over and grabbed the phone away from Haruka, reading the same message out loud.

"He loves you, huh?" Rin said with a sad smile. "What would he say if he knew what we just did?" The sad smile turned into a vicious grin only Rin could deliver.

"Shut up, Rin." Haruka hissed and reclaimed his phone.

"Do you love him back?"

Haruka did not response to that.

"It's a simple question just answer it already."

"Of course I love him, he's my best friend!" Haruka snapped.

"Answer me properly! Do you love Mako?!" Rin grabbed Haruka's shoulders and shook him, looking desperate, hoping Haruka will deny his love for Makoto.

"I… Rin, it's best if you go home." Haruka sighed.

"Huh, you're throwing me out after you have no more use of me?"

"I'm not throwing you out, just asking you to go. My mind's a mess right now."

Rin adjusted the bulge in his pants, hoping it would go away and zipped up his jacket.

"Haru… what am I to you?" He asked before stepping out the house and looked towards Haru desperately.

"I don't know…" Haru muttered unable to look into his eyes.
