Sloth: Hello there people! Man, summer break is really nice. I feel at leisure and less stressed out about stuff, and even though I have summer school, I'm really laid back now.

Okay peeps. Here's yet another rated M chapter so I advise once again to read with caution ("M" is for "masturbation").

I really have nothing to say.

Title: Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Chapter seven: I'm Going Slightly Mad


Something was utterly wrong, but Jack couldn't exactly figure it out. After coming back home from yet another date with Carly, the teenager had wallowed in his king-sized bed in his room for the rest of the morning, thinking nothing but his recent actions in the past days which all involved with his best friend.

First off, why did I call him "koi"? He's not a fish. His hair looks like a crab to be honest. Hell, he could be a penguin with those highlights. And why? Why did I stop singing? I always sing it through, but that one time... And before that, I fantasized about us touching each other. All of the recent actions confused him very so.

Out of his pants pocket, he pulled out a silver-metallic wrist-watch. Earlier in the morning, he and Carly met at the cafe to exchange their Christmas gifts, and after Jack gave her a jet-black pendant, Carly was very elated to have such a gift from the person she loved. She kept telling Jack how much she loved him, hugging him in a very endearing manner, but something was just not right to him. As much as he does care for her, there was something missing. Jack had admitted to himself in that morning that he wasn't so thrilled to see Carly as he normally would. Even when he held her in his arms, his heart refused to flutter in joy.

A sudden rapping on his bedroom door removed Jack from his thoughts. He grunted, rolling out of his bed, "What is it?"

Rex Goodwin stood through the doorway with a paternal grin on his face. "I believe that both Mr. Kyosuke and Mr. Hogan are waiting for you downstairs."

They didn't tell me that they were coming to visit. "I'll meet them downstairs. Will you tell them that for me, please?" His father nodded and exited out of the doorway. Forcing himself out of his warm, comfy bed, Jack climbed down the stair to the enormous, white living room. He spotted the two sitting on the couch, laughing together over whatever they were talking about.

Kiryu was the first to notice the blonde step off the stair, "Hey Jack. Enjoying your Christmas break yet?"

Crow snickered, "Of course he is. With Carly always wanting him, why wouldn't Jack be enjoying his break?"

"That's true. How many dates have you guys gone with so far?"

Jack sat down in arm chair straight across from the two. "First off, that's very rude of you Crow, and to answer your question, Kiryu, we only had two."

"HAH! Only two? We had ten dates!" The ginger roared in laughter. Jack shot a menacing glare at the smaller boy who struck his tongue out at him.

Kiryu rolled his eyes as he slouched comfortably into the couch. "Don't listen to Crow. We've only had five hangout dates. Jack, you don't look so hot. Is something bothering you?"

The blonde sighed, "I haven't been so... happy with Carly."

"Are you guys fighting or something?"

"No, we haven't fought yet; it's more of me not being happy around her. When I see her, I'm not so excited as I was before."

Kiryu sat up straight, replying, "Maybe it's just a phase. When did this start?"

Jack took a brief moment to think, "I think around the time Yusei started talking to me."

Before Kiryu could give his response, the ginger out of nowhere suggested, "Jack, you should masturbate!"

"What the hell, Crow?" Jack tried to gather the sudden process.

"I said, 'Jack, you should masturbate'!" Kiryu smacked his forehead when Crow repeated, "What? He should. Masturbating helps relieve stress and stimulates the attraction with lovers. I do it whenever I'm upset."

In a flash, the silverette-blue pinned Crow to the couch cushions. "Oh, so you're not afraid to tell others that masturbate and not telling others we're in a relationship?" he teased, hoisting the ginger's wrists underneath him.

Crow laughed, tying to free himself from his boyfriend's grip, "Everyone masturbates when they think about someone they love." Much to Jack's surprise, Kiryu pressed his lips onto Crow's and began to make-out heavily with him.

Jack scoffed, feeling the same unsure emotion before, "Guys, can we just watch a movie or something?

Rolling off the couch and underneath Kiryu, Crow brought out Howl's Moving Castle out of his bag that he brought along. "Yusei said we should watch this without him. He wouldn't let me bring Spirited Away so I brought this!" The smaller teen, without the blonde's permission, set up the movie and next to his lover.

As the movie began with the beautiful music serenading the three, Jack glanced at the two to find them happily snuggling with each other. Where is Yusei when you need him? He sighed. Feeling the lack of attention from the raven, Jack pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and texted to Yusei. [Hey Yus, where are you? Crow and Kiryu are over my house to see a movie.]

Few seconds later, Jack received a text. [Uh... I'm in Sweden right now.]

[SWEDEN? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN SWEDEN?]

It took Yusei half an hour to reply. [I guess I didn't tell you about this, huh?] No, you didn't, Jack thought. [Remember how my parents are scientists and are always on business trips? Well, this year they invited me to go to Sweden with them! LOL, I think it's because Sweden's a pro-LGBT country!]

The blonde smiled to this. [Stockholm is a great place for you then. Is it nice there, over there?]

[Ja! LOL, yeah. Oh, I got you a gift too. So how's Christmas break?]

Unaware of Kiryu's constant stares towards him, Jack eagerly texted the raven throughout the whole movie while Crow fought back tears towards the end of the film (after all, Crow the Bullet never cries). As he watched Jack text, Kiryu pursed his lips. You're missing that one final screw, Jack. Unraveling fast it's true, you'll learn about the truth eventually. He laughed under his breath silently. After all, my gaydar is very accurate.


"Have they left?" Jack raised his head from his laptop to hear Goodwin clearly. "Have those two left?"

"Yeah. They left around five," Jack replied as he stumbled through the internet.

"They're queer, aren't they?"

Jack slammed his laptop on his desk. "What? What did you say?" he asked in disbelief.

Goodwin smirked, "Your two friends are gay, aren't they? Thought I didn't see them getting on the couch, huh? I kinda figured the emo kid was a fairy, but I didn't expect Crow to be queer too."

Annoyed with his father's cruel remarks, Jack snarled back, "So what if Kiryu likes 'emo', and Crow's just bi. Let them be happy."

"Just tell them not to ruin the couch next time. Good night then," Goodwin dismissed himself out of his son's room and closed the door behind him.

Jack removed his shirt, muttering, "They didn't do anything to the couch." Removing his pants as well to only be wearing his boxers, Jack prepared himself to rest for the next day. Afterwards, he turned off the lights and crawled into his bed, ready to shut his eyes. If only he hadn't began to think would he drift into a deep slumber.

What is going on with me? Why aren't I appreciating Carly recently? I'm going slightly mad... He tossed and turned in his bed, but he stopped in his movements. With his thighs rubbing against his crotch, Jack considered a thought. Maybe Crow is right, though I haven't done this in a while...

Slowly, he guided his left hand from his neck to his pecs, caressing the sensitive skin. The fingers of his hand toyed with one of his nipples, and the other hand fondled with the fondled with the bottom of his stomach. Not wanting to tease himself, his right hand slipped underneath his boxers, touching his hot member. HIs breath slackened and grew heavy while he touched himself gently.

Trying to stimulate himself into more pleasure, Jack tried to imagine his Carly, in few articles of clothing, touching him. In his fantasy, Carly caressed his face and leaned forward to kiss him. Her small hands play with his manhood when they broke away. Breaths becoming short in between, he began to be rougher and harder onto his erection that grew from the imagination. Jack cracked a smile, imagining Carly trace her fingers all over his body. His smile grew much wider as he fantasized no other than his best friend enclosing him in his mouth. The imagination of Carly had transformed into an imaginary Yusei who was seducing Jack in his bed.

Fantasizing Yusei blowing warm air and sucking on his member, Jack sensed his body falling into a state of ecstasy and arousal and started to pump his shaft into a fast rhythm. In his mind, Yusei jerked Jack's cock in his hands, teasing him in such a seductive manner. Into his ears the raven whispered sexy words about Jack's size and his lack of the poker face he always wore.

It's too hard, Yusei. Sweat rolling down his forehead, Jack panted deeply, feeling pain from the lack of pleasure due to his hardness. He didn't want to move much since the pain was great, but he wanted to continue so badly after touching himself. Hot, sensual outcome waited for him in his lower region, and for that reason, he wanted to go on. Thinking quickly on how to continue, Jack rolled to one side of his bed and reached his hand underneath the bed, pulling out the cock-ring he was given. Jack didn't plan to use it beforehand, but now was the time to enjoy it to the fullest. Slick form the warm pre-cum trickling downward, he easily slipped the ring onto his cock. Really there was no other purpose of such a ring than to sustain the erection, but his ring had a vibrating option which he had enabled.

With the option turned on, Jack melted into a much more alluring, sultry bliss. Continuing his fantasy as he was building more heat inside, the teen imagined Yusei fitting himself into his entrance. Hot images of Yusei moving and thrusting inside of his body and sensations the vibrations brought forced Jack to muffle his desperate moans and screams with his pillow to avoid being caught masturbating. He had heard other teenagers share their stories of getting caught jerking off, and honestly, they were all pretty embarrassing. The idea of Goodwin walking on him didn't seem too pleasing either, so he had to carefully watch his moans escape from his mouth.

Near his limit, the fantasy Yusei whispered into his ear once more, blowing warm breaths on his earlobe, "God, Jack, you feel so amazing... I love-" Before he had a chance to finish, Jack release his hot seed through the fabrics of his boxers and covers, crying out Yusei's name into the pillow that would only know of the secret, desperate cry. "YUSEI!"

Sweaty and sticky, Jack laid there with his arm over his forehead, breathing hard but now in an andante pace. His chest heaved up and down, and to ensure his safety, he removed the ring around his cock. He frowned when he felt the excessive cum between his legs. Now I remember why I rarely do this. I guess I have to clean this again.

Putting his sheets into the laundry machine, Jack took a quick shower and thought more to himself. I'm going slightly mad. I fantasized Yusei having sex with me, not Carly. Ugh, what's wrong with me? What if- He stopped in his train of thoughts as he slipped into a clean pair of underwear. What if I'm gay? Gay. GAY! GAY FOR YUSEI? As much as it would explain all of the recent events, it weirded him out. No no no no! I'm not! I'm simply not!

Biting his lip, he shut the door to his room and quickly dialed the number of his friend. When the other line picked up, a groggy voice answered, "Mmm... Jack? Do you even know what time it is?"

Jack glanced at his alarm clock. "It's only 1:40, Kiryu. I thought you liked all-nighters," he mocked.

"Not on break though. Having all-nighters for art can be exhausting after a while. So... what's up?"

"Uh...," Jack started to say, unsure how to explain his reason for calling, "Look. I did what Crow suggested-"

Kiryu cut him off in shock, "Whoa! You actually listened to him? Here I thought you hated his ideas. Is that all?"

Jack paused for a second before trying again, "I fantasized Carly touching me at first, but she... turned into Yusei. Then he was..." This is so embarrassing.

"Yusei?" Kiryu smiled on the other side of the phone. So it finally happened. "Like our Yusei? Wow... Was the fantasy good?"

"Kiryu!"

"Haha, just kidding man, and your point to this, Jack?"

"Am I... queer? I've been acting so different around him lately and... I don't know... Something's just not right with me, Kiryu!"

Kiryu sighed, "You're just simply not in the pink, my dear. I'm afraid you haven't got a clue. What I mean is that fantasies are different from realities. You may have jerked off to Yusei, but that doesn't necessarily make you queer in a way. Love just happens, and if it's love between same-sexes, and I do mean actual love, not infatuation, then you might be. Don't worry about this, Jack. Just stay true to your girl, so don't dwell on this too much."

"So what does this make me?" There was silence on Kiryu's line. Jack hid his panic and demanded aggressively for an answer, "Kiryu, I'm serious! What the hell am I?"

"... You're Jack Atlas, but if you're so inclined to have a label, I'd say 'questioning'. C'mon, don't worry about this. If you like guys, it's fine. If you only like girls that's fine too. If you like, I won't mention this to Crow or Yusei. You still have to figure this out. On your own. I can't tell you what you are."

Taking all the comfort in, Jack replied, "Alright. Thank you for listening to me. Good bye then."

Just as he was about to hang up, Kiryu called, "Wait, Jack!" A sigh was heard followed by an exhausted laugh, "To answer your question before, no. Crow and I haven't had sex yet, but we did give in to other pleasures like touching, blowing, and dry humping. We haven't actually done the real thing yet... I'm not sure if he would like me telling you this, so keep it a secret."

"... That must've been nice for both of you."

"Heh, Jack, you'll figure out your identity when the time comes. It took Crow to figure himself out, and look where we are now. Good night."

Jack closed his phone and rolled back into his bed, returning to his thoughts. I'm slightly mad. I don't even know if I'm straight or not. He smiled before he closed his eyes. What if... what if I'm just attracted to Yusei...? Nah, it's just a phase.

In the next morning, when Jack was preparing himself for another date with Carly, Goodwin advised him, "Next time, Jack, don't go too crazy over Carly at night, and do watch your voice level too."

The teen froze as he realized he was caught by the person he'd least wanted to be caught by. ... Damn!


Sloth: Ah yes. This is the only song that actually freaks me out whenever I listen to it while pulling an all-nighter... Seriously, I love Freddie but hearing this song at 3:00 am is scary.

Kiryu knows something but doesn't want to rush the poor fellow. Meh, if I were a guy, I bet I would've made the masturbation a lot better (but I'm just a girl). Crow sure likes his anime, and Yusei's in a country where ABBA originated. Funny, I didn't remember that Sweden is where they're from until I finished typing this. Jack's just very slightly mad, ain't he? :)

Review for all the love you could ever want ;)

And there you have it.
