Hooray! I got chapter four up only a day after I posted the third chapter! It's a pretty big accomplishment for me. XD So, I included a Japanese festival in this chapter and I'm pretty sure I messed something up. I've never been to a festival in Japan before or seen what they look like, so I just based most of it off from a scene I saw in an anime. ^-^; I also made the characters wear yukatas and I apologize if I picked colors that wouldn't normally be on a yukata. I hope you enjoy this chapter anyhow, despite any grammar/spelling errors and anything I put that might be innacurate. :) Oh, and I brought Kengo's sister Mayu into the story and I'm not sure if she ever said Haruka's name, so I just made her call him "Haruka-chan." I thought that was a cute name for someone to call Haruka. ^w^ Anyway, enjoy chapter four!
Series: Monochrome Factor
Pairings: Kou x Haruka, Shirogane x Akira
Warnings: Yaoi/Shounen-ai (Boy x Boy) and Shota (an older man with a younger boy). If you don't like that kind of stuff, then please don't read or flame me for it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Monochrome Factor or any of the characters. They all belong to their rightful owner(s). If I did own it, Kou and Haruka would have kissed and become a couple.
It had now been almost two weeks since Haruka arrived in Japan and he had been hanging out and going on outings with his friends the whole time. They went to a few popular tourist attractions, went to see a new movie that came out, and the days where they didn't go somewhere, Haruka would hang out at Akira's house and enjoy the crazy things his friends would get into. The most often being that Kengo would piss Aya off and she would beat him with whatever she could use as a weapon. Haruka even got the chance to see Kengo's sister, Mayu, again. Her greeting was similar to what Kengo's had been at the airport.
"Haruka-chan~!" Mayu squealed and ran over, glomping Haruka and almost knocking him over. Akira had to grab Haruka to keep him from falling down, while Kengo helped pry Mayu off of the boy. "Careful, Nee-chan! You almost broke Haruka." Kengo said and gave an apolgetic look to Haruka and to Kou, who looked a bit mad. Kou had become very protective of Haruka since they became a couple and got more than a little jealous over someone other than himself hugging Haruka so affectionately. "No one will break my beautiful Haru." Kou said, wrapping his arms around the small boy possessively. Haruka blushed faintly and looked back at Kou. He was really liking how Kou was possessive of him at times and that the older man was only flirting with him now lately. "Sorry, sorry. I'm just so happy to see you, Haruka-chan! I'm glad I get to see you again and now I have the chance to dress you up!" Mayu chirped happily and clapped her hands together. "Dress me up?" Haruka asked, confused. Kou, as well, was wondering what Mayu meant by that. "Oh, no, Nee-chan. You don't mean-" Kengo didn't get to finish his sentence as Mayu grabbed a pair of black cat ears out of her purse and happily exclaimed, "Ta-da!" Haruka cocked his head to the side a little in confusion and stared at the fluffy black cat ears that were attatched to a silver headband. "What are those for?" Akira asked, standing next to Shirogane and not minding the Shin who was holding one hand on the high school student's shoulder. Kou and Haruka weren't the only ones who had gotten closer in these past twelve days. It was still unclear if Shirogane and Akira had finally become a couple, but there was clearly something different between them. Akira wouldn't dismiss Shirogane's flirting or his touches as much and they both seemed to be more happy together.
Of course, Akira would still yell at Shirogane and said man would pout pitifully and say he only did something because of his love for Akira. It would amuse Haruka greatly when that happened and he hoped that Akira would eventually accept his feelings that he continued to deny. "These are for Haruka-chan! They would look great on him, don't you think?" Mayu asked, directing everyone's attention to the boy. Haruka became a little nervous as everyone stared at him and started wishing that Mayu was only joking about him wearing the cat ears. "I think Haruka-kun would look cute in them." Aya said, not making anything better for the boy. "Yeah, I think so, too." Kengo said, poking at Haruka's head. Akira sighed, noticing Haruka's discomfort and wanted to help him out. "Guys, leave Haruka alone. Give him some space, would you?" Haruka sent Akira a look saying "thank you" and looked back at Mayu. "Is this what you meant by dressing me up?" Mayu nodded and flashed a smile at Haruka. "Yep! I wanted to put neko ears on you from the first time I saw you, but I never got the chance and then you moved to England. But, now, I have the opportunity!" Mayu told Haruka and before he could protest, she put the ears on his head. "Kyaah~! I was right! You look so cute!" Mayu was jumping up and down and fangirling over Haruka in cat ears, while the others backed up to view the flustered boy. "You know, he actually does look cute." Akira added in, throwing away all of the attempts he was going to make to help Haruka. Shirogane, despite feeling bad for the boy, smiled at Haruka and admired how adorable he looked. Normally Aya doesn't go into a fangirl mode, but seeing Haruka in cat ears, decided to fawn over little Haruka with Mayu. Haruka turned around to look at Kou with a helpless expression on his face and Kou, who was already trying desperately to restrain himself, lost it and hugged him. "Haru, you really are just too cute!" Kou exclaimed and hugged Haruka tightly to him, while the poor boy had no idea of what to do. Meanwhile, Mayu was smiling and contemplating if she could get Haruka into a maid's dress at some point.
Needless to say, Haruka indeed has very many weird friends and now knows to expect stuff like that to happen to him. That little outburst happened yesterday and it was now December 24th, the day before Christmas. Haruka and his friends are planning to go to a festival later in the evening and eat all kinds of the delicious food that will be around. At least, that's what Kengo had said. Kengo just loves food so much and it tends to annoy Aya the most out of the others. Getting up from Akira's bed, Haruka continued waiting for Akira to come back from the bathroom to help him with his yukata. Last night, Haruka stayed at Akira's house and slept in his bed with the older boy. Haruka spent most of his nights at Kou's place in the past week, but a few times he would stay with Akira because he wanted to hang out with him, too. Haruka thought it would be a little weird sleeping in Akira's bed with him, but it surprisingly wasn't. I guess that shows how good of friends they are. The two boys would talk about relationship stuff, mostly. That being about Kou and Haruka because Akira was too embarrassed to say anything about liking Shirogane. Akira had told Haruka that he knew about his relationship with Kou and things sort of took off from there. When they were talking the night before, Akira had said that he felt like they were two teenage girls and might as well braid each other's hair while they were at it.
Haruka remembered what Akira said and giggled, putting a hand over his mouth to keep himself from laughing. Just then, Akira came back into the room wearing a dark blue yukata that went down to his ankles and had a faint leafy pattern on it. The sash around him was a lighter blue that contrasted with the darkness of Akira's yukata and Haruka thought it looked really good on his friend. "What are you snickering about?" Akira questioned, as he came in and caught Haruka with his hand covering his mouth and the small smile he was hiding. "Nothing, I was just thinking about something." Haruka replied and kept admiring what Akira was wearing. As the older of the two was about to help Haruka finish putting his yukata on, Akira stared at his younger friend, his eyes narrowing. "Oh, what the-Mayu, why did you make us wear matching yukatas?" Mayu insisted on picking out yukata's for everyone, which they should have known wasn't a good idea. Kengo's sister thought it would be cute for Akira and Haruka to wear matching outfits, so, lucky for her, she found two yukata's that were the same, but each a different size. "Damn, I knew it wasn't a good idea to let her pick out what we wear. I can't imagine what the other's must look like." Akira said, letting out an aggravated sigh. "Whatever, I guess it's not that bad." Akira finished and walked over to Haruka, starting to help him get his yukata the rest of the way on. "Maybe Kengo and Aya will have embarrassing yukatas." Haruka said, hoping to cheer Akira up. Akira smiled and chuckled a little, as he pulled Haruka's yukata over his thin, pale shoulders. "Yeah. Who knows, maybe Kengo's sister picked out a pink, flower print yukata for him." Akira mused and starting laughing at the thought of Kengo in a girlie yukata, along with Haruka.
In the living room, Akira almost let out a loud laugh and grabbed onto Haruka's shoulder, looking away. Haruka stared at the sight in front of him and Akira. Kengo was sitting in a chair wearing a yellow yukata with a reddish-brown sash and it wasn't abnormal at all, but what made Akira and Haruka try hard to keep from having a laughing riot was Kengo's clearly unhappy face and the fact that Mayu had put a few sparkly bow clips in his hair and shiny lip gloss on his lips. "W-what's going on, Kengo?" Akira asked, laughing in between his words and still holding onto Haruka. Aya was sitting over on the couch and also trying not to burst out laughing, but did well to act unamused. "Akira-kun, Haruka-chan! You look amazing in your matching yukatas!" Mayu chirped and momentarily stopped messing with Kengo. Haruka's butler came over to the boy and was wearing a gray yukata and a dark brown sash. "Haruka-sama, is your yukata comfortable?" The butler asked, making sure Haruka was okay and seeming to ignore the situation Kengo was in. Haruka nodded at him reassuringly and looked back at Kengo, smiling again. "I knew I had good taste in clothing." Mayu complimented herself, as she turned her attention to Aya. "Aya-chan, you look so gorgeous in your yukata." Aya was wearing a light pink yukata that came with a light blue sash and had a red flower in her hair. Mayu had an almost identical look to Aya's, except her yukata was red with an orange sash and had a purple flower in her hair. "Thanks, Mayu-san. I really like what you picked out for me." Aya smiled sweetly at Mayu and was clearly happy about her yukata. Kou walked into the room and almost fell over when he saw Kengo. "Ken...you look so girlie and pretty." Kou didn't bother to contain his laughing, which made Akira let out his laugh as well and cause Haruka to start giggling. Kengo ripped the bows out of his hair and started rubbing at the lip gloss. "Nee-chan! You said I wasn't going to look girlie!" Kengo whined and looked at his sister.
"You don't look girlie! I made you look pretty and it suited you very well, didn't it?" Mayu was asking the others in the room, trying to get support and convince Kengo not to be mad. "Oh yeah, it definitely suits you, Kengo. Really." Akira said, doing his best to look serious. Kengo suddenly felt better and smiled. "Thanks. I guess you were only trying to be nice, Nee-chan." Kengo and his sister hugged, sharing a touching moment, while Kou and Akira exchanged amused smirks at each other. When Kou looked over at Akira, he noticed Haruka for the first time and he couldn't stop looking at him. Kou looked Haruka up and down, mesmerized by how cute he looked in his yukata. 'Haru looks so adorable...and beautiful.' Kou was in awe at seeing Haruka in the dark blue yukata that went well with the boy's eyes. Haruka looked over to see Kou staring at him and he gave the man a small smile. Kou was taken aback at Haruka's sudden smile and felt like he just fell even more in love with him. 'I don't care anymore how ridiculous it might sound for an adult guy like me to be captivated by a young boy.' Kou was pretty much over his guilt for being in love with Haruka and over being worried about the reactions of his friends. For him, all he needed to know was that Haruka loved him back just as much as he loved him. Kou walked over to Haruka and put his hands on his shoulders. "Haru, you look great." Haruka smiled again and quickly looked over Kou's solid black yukata with a white sash around his waist. "You look nice, too, Onii-chan." Kou chuckled and patted Haruka's head.
"Ooh! Shirogane, look at you!" Akira heard Mayu's excited voice and looked up and saw Shirogane wearing a white yukata with a beige sash. Even though the color of his yukata was pretty plain, Shirogane stood out. The man seemed to do that a lot, in Akira's eyes. Shirogane smiled at Akira and saw the pink blush appear on his cheeks, making him smile more. "Master, you look very nice, as well." Aya added in and looked at Master's yukata that was blue like Akira and Haruka's, but a bit lighter and with a white sash. "Can we go now? I really want to eat the food at the festival." Haruka smiled to himself, since he was expecting Kengo to say that. "Alright, everyone's here, so let's go!" Kou said excitedly and walked outside with Haruka and the others following.
The festival was even prettier than Haruka imagined. There was also more people, too. Haruka had only been to a few festivals throughout his life and most of those were when he was a kid. Well, he's still a kid, but when he was a lot younger. Kengo was also incredibly excited and kept wanting to try food from every stand they passed. Haruka and all his friends were having a great time at the festival. While they were walking around, Haruka could have sworn he saw Shirogane's hand brush against Akira's for a moment and saw them lock eyes, looking at each other warmly. The boy was now pretty sure that Shirogane and Akira had gotten together, but he wouldn't press the issue just yet. Kou was holding Haruka's hand as they walked and something caught his eye. Stopping, Kou took a look at this small booth that was selling rings and other jewelry. Haruka was abruptly pulled back when Kou stopped, due to them holding hands and he looked at the older man curiously. "Onii-chan?" Haruka asked, glancing back at his friends who were walking ahead. "You go on, Haru. I'll catch up in a minute." Kou told the boy and let go of his hand. "Oh, okay." Haruka said, still wondering why Kou stopped and feeling a little sad that Kou let go of his hand. Just like Kou had become more possessive of the boy, Haruka would be a little lonely when he wasn't with Kou. It wasn't like he was horribly upset, but sometimes he would miss feeling Kou's warmth and being able to be close to him. Haruka shook his head and scolded himself for acting like a lovestruck maiden, as he caught up with his friends that were looking at other stands.
Kou took the opportunity to look at the different pieces of jewelry sitting on the booth's table. He was looking for the ring that had caught his attention and would, every once in awhile, check to make sure the others were still in sight. Kou found the shiny ring he was looking for and picked it up, holding it close to his face. The ring had a thin silver band and there was one dark blue gem on the top and surrounded by a smaller blue jewel on each side that were a shade lighter. The reason Kou noticed the ring was because the gems on it reminded him of his and Haruka's eyes. His own were a very dark blue, like indigo, and Haruka's were also dark, but a lighter blue. Kou pondered about whether or not he should buy it as a present for Haruka. He thought it was a good idea, but would the boy even like it? Or, would he prefer something else? For a second, Kou thought the ring was too feminine for Haruka, but then he thought about how the boy wears an earring, so maybe he would wear a regular ring, too. Finally deciding, Kou told the person at the booth he would like to buy the ring and, spending almost all of the money he brought, was hoping Haruka would like it.
"Onii-chan, you're back." Haruka said, as he turned around and Kou ran up to him. Kou noticed that Haruka was standing by himself and saw the rest of their friends up ahead. "Haru, you didn't have to wait for me. I told you to go ahead." Kou responded and grabbed Haruka's hands, but quickly let go. "Your hands are freezing, Haru. Were you waiting long?" Kou asked and warmed the boy's hands up by holding them in his. "No, it wasn't long. I just wanted to make sure you didn't lose us." Haruka told him and looked away, blushing slightly as he said, "Plus, I want to be with you..." Kou looked down at the boy in surprise and felt it slowly turn into happiness, as he let out a small sigh. Without a warning, Kou turned Haruka's face back to his and kissed him soundly. Haruka closed his eyes and kissed Kou back, tightening his grip on the man's hands. In that moment, when he pulled back from the kiss, Kou felt the same feeling from earlier when he saw Haruka back at Akira's house. He wanted to hold Haruka, to kiss him, touch him, and just let the boy know how much he loved him. Interrupting Kou and Haruka's special moment, Kengo yelled, "Kou-nii, Haruka! We got some food, come eat with us!" Kou mentally cursed at his moment with Haruka being disturbed and could see Akira slap Kengo on the back of his head. Apparently, Akira could tell that Kengo interrupted something important and felt the need to hit him for it.
"W-We should go eat. I'm getting kind of hungry." Haruka said, anxious from what just happened with Kou. After Kou broke their kiss, Haruka saw an unfamiliar look in the man's dark eyes and he had a serious, but gentle look on his face that made Haruka's heart race. He was feeling new emotions that he hadn't experienced before and when Haruka saw that expression on Kou, he wanted to kiss the man again. And do even more than that. "Sure, let's go." Kou said, returning to his normal self and pulled Haruka along over to the rest of the group. "Hey, where were you guys?" Kengo asked while snacking on the food they got. "I was just buying something, sorry for leaving like that." Kou explained, sitting down next to Kengo. Shirogane looked at Haruka and wondered why the boy seemed to be off in his own little world. "Haruka-kun, are you alright?" Shirogane put his hand on Haruka's shoulder and looked down at him, curiousness in his eyes. Haruka shook himself out of his daze and looked up at Shirogane. "Yes, I'm fine. I guess I'm just a little tired from the cold." The Shin nodded, not fully believing that Haruka was fine, and turned his attention back to Akira. Shirogane found out from Akira about Kou and Haruka's kiss back in Sendai and about their relationship, but hadn't brought it up because he was waiting for them to talk about it themselves. He was happy for Kou and Haruka, but, just like Haruka, was concerned about how the boy's butler would react to it. They'll have to break the news to him carefully, that's for sure.
The time was a little past eight when the gang of friends decided to head back. They had seen all there was to see and were pretty worn out from all the fun they had. Kengo had a stomach ache, like when he did in Sendai, due to all the food he tried and from eating it too fast. Haruka's butler had never seen someone eat as much as Kengo did and it made it hard for him to make sure he got something for Haruka to eat. "Man, that was a lot of fun. We should come here every year." Kengo said, smiling happily and walking in between Akira and Aya. "We could probably make it a tradition to come to this festival every Christmas Eve." Shirogane said, secretly trying to hold Akira's hand. All of the others were agreeing and said they should do that, while Haruka couldn't help but feel a little sad. He knew he would be going back to England in a few days and he wasn't sure if he would be able to come here again next year and he assumed they weren't counting him in as part of the newly founded tradition they came up with. "You, too, Haruka. You should come here with us every year." Haruka looked at Akira, surprise written on his face. "Me?" Haruka questioned, feeling confused since he was positive they weren't including him. "Of course we mean you." Shirogane said, smiling at Haruka. "You're our friend, Haruka." Akira said lastly and gave Haruka one of his proud smiles. Haruka could feel his chest tighten and happiness flood him, as a smile formed on his face. He glanced at Kou next to him, wanting to know if Kou felt the same way. Kou squeezed Haruka's hand, showing that the boy was also his friend and that he cared about him. This was one of the few times in Haruka's life that he had felt overwhelmed with joy and felt like crying happy tears. He held his tears in, but Kou and the others could see that he wanted to cry and how honestly happy Haruka was to be with them.
"Haruka-sama, are you going to spend the night with Kou-san?" Haruka's butler asked once they were walking toward their parked vehicles. "Well, I was thinking about it, but if you don't want me to-" Haruka was stopped short when his butler interrupted him. "Oh, no, it's perfectly fine with me. But, you'll come over to Akira-kun's house in the morning, won't you?" A few days ago, all of the friends decided to do a Secret Santa and planned to have it at Akira's house on Christmas morning. "That's right, we have the Secret Santa to do." Aya said and wrapped her arms around herself, shivering slightly from the cold. Haruka nodded and told his butler that he and Kou would see them in the morning. As Haruka got in the backseat of the car, he could hear Mayu, in her cheerful tone, saying, "I can't wait to see what I get tomorrow!" Pulling out of the space, Kou drove down the road to head back to his place and let out a loud sigh. "That was tiring, wasn't it? Fun, but tiring." Haruka leaned his head back against his seat and made a small noise of agreement. "Yeah, it was. Oh yeah, Onii-chan, what did you buy?" Haruka asked. Kou didn't want to tell Haruka about the present he got him yet, he wanted to keep it a secret until they got back. "Just a little thing I thought was cool." Kou replied, trying to play it off indifferently and not give anything away. "Oh." Haruka responded and didn't have anything else to say on the matter, despite having a feeling that there was more to it. Staring out the car window, Haruka watched the street lights go by and looked up at the dark sky, thinking about how the color was sort of similar to how Kou's eyes looked after he kissed him earlier.
Back at Kou's place, Haruka went into the bathroom to change into his pajamas and Kou was busy putting some Christmas-shaped cookies he had bought the other day on a plate. 'Hopefully Haru isn't full yet.' Kou said to himself and brought the plate out onto the small table in between his three purple couches. Kou quickly went into his bedroom and changed into a pair of pajamas himself. Haruka came back out of the bathroom wearing his aqua colored pajamas and saw the plate with cookies on it. For some reason, they looked really appealing to the boy and he sat down on one of couches, picking up a cookie and eating it. "I guess you were hungry, after all." Haruka heard Kou's voice from the bedroom and watched him walk over to sit down on the couch next to him. "These are pretty good." Kou mused and bit off another piece of a cookie shaped like a snowflake. "Onii-chan, can I see the thing that you bought?" Haruka asked, his curiousity from in the car suddenly increasing. Kou started thinking how he should present the ring to Haruka, without it being too weird. Then again, a twenty five year old man giving an eleven year old boy a ring is pretty weird in the first place.
"Uh, sure. But, before I show you, I want to talk to you, Haru." Kou said and set his unfinished cookie down on the plate. Haruka was even more curious now at why Kou seemed to be serious and wanting to talk to him. The boy knew Kou could be serious at times, but he was used to seeing the flirty and silly Kou more. Seeing Kou's eyes lock with his, Haruka felt a little nervous. He had seen Kou being serious a few times and every time it had made him feel a bit intimidated. Haruka thought back to the time when he was with Akira and Shirogane and he witnessed Shirogane disappearing. His butler had come over and held Haruka, letting him sob into his chest. After Shirogane had finally disappeared, Kou came over to Haruka and had looked very worried, but also relieved, to see Haruka was okay. The boy could still remember the look on Kou's face that he wasn't used to seeing and then being pulled into Kou's embrace. The look on the man's face now was just like the expression he had back then.
"Haru, the thing I bought earlier, I bought for you." Kou said, keeping his eyes on Haruka. "For me?" Haruka asked and absentmindedly fiddled with his earring. 'I wonder why Kou got me something.' He thought and waited for Kou to talk again. "I got you something that I'm not sure if you'll like, but it felt like the right thing to get." Kou told him, finally looking away from Haruka and getting up off the couch. Haruka saw Kou grab a small black box out of his pocket and look at it for a second before saying anything else. "Haru, you know," Kou said a little hesitantly and trying to find the right words, as he looked back at the boy again, "I really love you." Those four words made Haruka's heart flutter. He always got anxious hearing things like that from Kou, but in a pleasant way. "Honestly, I never thought I would fall in love with a young kid like you. But, I'm happy I did. Haru, you're so smart and brilliant for your age. You also are very corageous and, despite the horrible things that happened to you in the past, you're still strong and I admire you for that. Not to mention that you're very kind. Before I knew it, I had fallen in love with you." Kou finished and kept his eyes on Haruka's that looked a bit glassy, due to tears.
"No one has ever said that to me before." Haruka said, doing his best not to start crying, like he had already done so much since he got here. "I always thought nobody would say all those things to me or ever like me again after what I did." Haruka was beyond holding back his tears and felt them sliding down his cheeks. He was overwhelmed, and in a bit of denial, that Kou actually still liked him and was able to say nice things about Haruka, even after he betrayed his friends. "I'll always like you, Haru. No matter what you did in the past or now, I'll always like you. So will Aki, Ken, Aya-chan, and everyone else." More tears fell from Haruka's eyes and he shook his head. "But, how can you? What I did was horrible and I shouldn't deserve for you or anyone else to be this kind to me. Homurabi should have taken me with him..." Kou grasped Haruka's shoulders tightly and forced the boy to look at him. "Don't ever say that. None of us would have wanted that to happen." Kou said, anger in his eyes that Haruka, for the first time, knew was directed at him. The man's eyes softened from anger to determination. "If Homurabi did take you, I would have gone after you to bring you back." Haruka's eyes widened, a few tears falling from his eyelashes. He couldn't believe that Kou said that and Haruka felt the truth in his words. 'I guess...Kou really does love me.' Haruka thought to himself, letting Kou's words sink in.
"I don't want you to think you don't belong here, Haru. You're a friend to all of us and we love you. I love you." Kou said and held onto both of Haruka's hands. "So, please, don't feel that way anymore and just accept the fact that you're loved. And don't let anything make you think otherwise." A dam burst inside Haruka and he threw his arms around Kou's neck, sobbing and feeling genuinely loved for the first time. Kou in return wrapped his arms around Haruka's waist and whispered sweet nothings to reassure the boy and eventually quiet down his crying. "Kou, I love you, too. I-I don't want to leave you and everyone. I want to stay." Haruka cried and clutched tighter onto Kou, who was running his hand through Haruka's hair comfortingly. "You don't have to leave, Haru. You can stay with us, you don't have to worry."
Feeling Haruka's crying slowly come to a stop, Kou lifted Haruka's face up and asked, "Do you want to see what I got you?" Haruka wiped at his eyes and nodded. "Yeah, I do." Kou let Haruka keep his small hands on his shoulders, as he opened the small black box. Haruka gasped in delight at the shiny ring inside. "Onii-chan, it's beautiful." Haruka carefully took the ring out of the box and examined it closely, admiring the pretty jewels. Kou felt glad that Haruka liked the ring and took it from the boy. "Let me put it on you." The man said and held Haruka's fingers, slipping the ring onto his right ring finger. Haruka brought his hand up and looked at the ring, which shimmered a little underneath the light on the ceiling. Kou saw a thinking expression on Haruka's face. "What is it?" Kou questioned, playing with the fingers on Haruka's other hand. "This...it sort of feels like we just got engaged." The boy finally said. Kou started laughing and observed Haruka's ring finger with the ring on it. "Do you know why I got this ring for you?" Haruka shook his head in response, taking a guess. "Because it's pretty?"
The older man smiled and brought Haruka's hand close to his mouth. "I got it because the gems remind me of you and myself." It didn't take long for his brilliant mind to understand what Kou meant and Haruka felt loved all over again. Kou was about to say something, but the boy's lips cut him off. Haruka put his arms around Kou's neck again and forced his lips against Kou's. Kou was surprised by Haruka taking the intiative this time, but didn't protest and kissed him back. Tons of new and foreign emotions hit Haruka, as he suddenly wanted Kou to shower him with more love and feel those large hands touch him. Haruka pulled on Kou's neck, forcing the man to fall forward and the boy layed on his back on the couch, his hunger for the Christmas cookies suddenly gone. Kou, feeling confused, started to wonder if Haruka was pushing for something more than just kisses. The man's question was almost completely answered as Haruka grabbed Kou's hands and put them on his sides and urging for Kou to kiss him harder. "Wait, Haru." Kou stopped kissing the boy, causing disappointment for both of them. "Do you want to-" Kou asked, trying to make Haruka finish it for him and find out exactly what the boy was hinting at.
Haruka blushed and turned his head to the side, feeling the material of the couch against his cheek. Kou could tell Haruka was having trouble saying what he wanted, so he had to do it for him. "Haru...are you wanting me to make love to you?" Kou questioned, his eyes slightly widened and looking down at the boy. Haruka's blush darkened and looked back at Kou, not quite meeting his eyes. Haruka knew practically nothing about sex, but had read a little about it in some book he checked out of a library in England. The boy was aware of a few different terms for sex and knew what it was, but not how people, including two guys, do it. He was very uneducated about making love. Despite that, he wanted Kou to show him and experience the new, wonderful feelings that he had yet to comprehend. "Yes. I...I want you to make love to me, Kou." Kou's eyes grew even wider and was trying to process the fact that his innocent, eleven year old Haruka just told him he wants to have sex. Truth be told, Kou had thought about having sex with Haruka and wanted to, but another part of him said he shouldn't. The boy below him was only eleven years old and it's illegal for him to have sex with a minor. But, looking down at Haruka who had nothing but pure love and a bit of lust in his blue eyes, Kou ignored all the thoughts telling him not to do it and wanted nothing more than to share this moment with the boy he loved so much.
"Okay, Haru." Kou said, staring at Haruka and confirming the boy's wish. "I love you." Kou told Haruka, as he leaned down and kissed him hard. Haruka moaned into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Kou's back. Kou could feel his lust growing at the thought of having sex with Haruka and getting to touch him. He picked the young Haruka up, carrying him into his bedroom and layed him down on the bed. Kou quickly shut the door and wasted no time in getting back on top of Haruka, kissing him once again. Concern invaded Kou's mind just then and pulled back from the kiss. "What's wrong?" Haruka asked, desperate for Kou to keep kissing him. "Are you sure you want to do this, Haru?" Kou asked, starting to feel guilty that he was about to take the virginity of a pure eleven year old boy. Haruka smiled a little and cupped the sides of Kou's face with his hands. "Yes, I'm sure. I love you, Kou, and that's all that matters to me." Kou's guilt faded away in an instant and returned Haruka's smile. "I love you so much, Haru." Kou said and kissed Haruka's forehead, then his lips. This would definitely be a night neither of them would ever forget...
The lemon will be in the next chapter, so, in case there are some people who aren't comfortable with reading a shota sex scene, you can skip to chapter six once I post it. But, for those of you who want to read the Kou x Haruka sex scene, then I'll do my best to make it hot. It's going to be my first time writing a lemon scene, so I'm a bit nervous, but I think it will be okay. I've read a ton of Yaoi sex fanfics and I know a fairly good amount of things, so I should be fine. XD I hope you liked this chapter and are looking forward to the final chapters. Feedback is appreciated, ciao! ^-^
