Well I hope you're ready to read a long one, because this is pretty long I must say. Thank you all for reading Beautiful Echizen, this story is def. far from over!

*Ahem* Now, in the last chapter we looked at how Ryoma-kun was unable to bear the sudden memories that his mind had tried to wipe clean. We've also seen how distraught and torn apart Ryoma was just by the thought of thinking about annoying class mates!

Sanada-san hasn't seemed to realize it much but, I'll give you a hint, the old Ryoma is coming back from a long slumber and today, girls/boys, there will be a major scene concerning these two, so be prepared!

Warning: Contains male/male interaction and terrible language and some good loving! CONTAINS LEMON! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

That very same day, Echizen was discharged and was picked up by Sanada as he had promised he would be. It had been the first time that Ryoma was able to see the inside of the other man's house. Since the incident, Echizen had been in the hospital getting checked, inside and out. The sleepover business had been Sanada's idea to ease Echizen's parents, but Ryoma found out in the end, Sanada could not keep quiet about his accident when Ryoma's mother was around. So he told her a complete lie but told the doctor the truth. Echizen wasn't sure how his friends at school would react nor would the tennis team. It was all a matter of patience. Ryoma's wounds were not much to be gazed at as they were hidden evidence of clear rape. The doctor had not spoken a word about the situation to his mother but insisted for the boy to get some good rest before doing anything too strenuous on the lower part of his body.

Along with a cane, Ryoma was all set to walk about, just not as fast as he could before. Ryoma hated the cane that looked like it was designed for older people such as his father. But since it helped him to walk around better, he wouldn't complain unless need be. Sanada's parents had been away on business trips and would not be back until the next few months. The house was completely deserted except for the occasional crow or pigeon that would find its way through Sanada's back yard, trying to take off with some of Sanada's freshly grown fruit from his mother's garden.

"I'll set up the room. You should go take a bath." A bath was what Ryoma really needed as the hospital wasn't so keen as to let him have one while the tests were being done in fear of the bath removing any signs of change.

Ryoma watched as Sanada was about to leave to one of the other rooms. Before Sanada could do that, Echizen spoke up. "OK. Where is it?" Sanada smiled and pointed down to the door just at the end of the hall.

"Just go straight down to the door there. I'll check up on you after I'm done setting up the extra room." Ryoma's face went red at how thoughtful Sanada was being toward him.

With one swift nod of his head, Ryoma began limping his way toward the bathroom. He could still feel the blank stare coming from behind and it caused him to get anxious. His heart was pounding so fast that his mind began to fill up with ideas of his heart pounding right out of his chest. He had never in his life felt like this with anyone, especially not with any of the girls at his school. When he finally got into the bathroom itself, he was not too surprised to see how spacey everything looked. The sink was nice and tidy and was organized very well with two bars of soap on the soap stand.

The toothbrushes were all placed together in a cup while their toothpaste was set aside on a pink hand towel. Ryoma set the cane next to a chair near the bath tub itself and closed the door for more privacy and began taking off his clothes one by one, flinching at the sudden pains he got in his stomach and on his shoulders. His ivory skin tone had been bruised by Mizuki's cold hands and each one of them set off a bad memory to Ryoma. When it came down to taking his own pants off, Ryoma was hesitant. He cautiously undid the button and zipper and pulled down his pants as far as his back would allow him and let them fall to the floor around his feet. As he did with his pants, Ryoma took his underwear off with caution too. His hands jolted whenever he went near his lower half. It was a painful memory one right after the other and he wondered if this nightmare would ever leave him alone.

He looked at his body in the mirror and examined the very places he was touched. Just the thought gave his stomach a turn for the worst. How could he have been so stupid as to let Mizuki have his way with him? The sudden thought of Mizuki's devilish and twisted face caused Ryoma to cough up. A knock on the door startled him but he recomposed himself and walked toward the door as best as he could. When Ryoma went to open the door, Sanada was just about to knock at the same time and had been leaning against the door. The older teen lost his balance and fell forward but caught his fall before he could fall on top of Ryoma.

"Sorry. Are you alright?" Sanada asked as he looked over Echizen's startled face that expressed more than just the regular surprised look. The boy was glaring.

But what got Sanada's attention wasn't how weird Ryoma was acting around him. The boy seemed to be glaring up at him instead of the usual look he had seen in Echizen's eyes for the past few weeks before his problem with Mizuki. The eyes that shone care and compassion towards those around him were now cold and heartless like they had been when he had first fought with him in one of the tournaments. It was the old Echizen coming back.

"Sanada-san? Where am I?" His usual tone of voice that said he didn't care about the world, returned and gave Sanada a shiver down his spine.

"My house…do you…remember anything, Echizen?" Ryoma looked around and a sudden jolt of pain ran through his head.

Sanada knew this day would come when some part of him wouldn't remember their past events or the hurting that Ryoma had encountered. But his body would remember. Sanada was hesitating as to whether he should inform Ryoma of what had happened to him this past week and how he had been behaving.

"I remember you walking out on me. It hurts!" Ryoma exclaimed and he put both hands over his eyes. Sanada could see the boy was crying.

"Ryoma, you were in a coma for about a week or so, you were asleep while the doctors did some tests on you. You'll be fine, you just need some rest. I guess your bath can wait unless…you want me to bathe you?" The sudden question brought Ryoma back to his senses.

Echizen then realized that he was only in his underwear. He blushed and tried to cover himself but Sanada was faster at reading Ryoma's face. Sanada quickly grabbed a towel from the towel rack and dropped it over Ryoma's head.

"It's fine. I'll take one by myself." Ryoma was about to get up from the floor when he felt his legs go weak. In that instant, he dropped to the floor like a sack of bricks being dropped from a very high floor.

"Echizen!" Sanada rushed to the boy's aid but Ryoma shoved him off and got up but with very little effort.

Sanada was in pain to see what Ryoma was going through. "There…was one thing I didn't mention before. You…were raped by Mizuki. The doctor and I agreed to not tell your mom but…you still remember those awful memories and it was a week ago!" Sanada surprised Echizen by putting his arms around his shoulders.

"S-Sanada-san?" Ryoma knew there was more to this story than Sanada was telling him.

Sanada's grip on Ryoma's shoulder, intensified. All Ryoma could do was stand there and allow the older teen to keep holding him as he patted Sanada's back. What was it that he couldn't remember and why was Sanada's pained face hurting him as well? Ryoma wanted answers and knew Sanada was hiding a little bit more.

"I'm sorry, Echizen., for what I'm about to do." Ryoma gasped at the sudden dry lips that met his collar bone.

Blushing, Ryoma tried to pry himself away from Sanada's clutches. A jolt of pain went up his spinal cord just as another memory flashed back to him. The same feeling he felt with Mizuki arose and Ryoma could feel his stomach turn upside down. But then, if he could remember what Mizuki's hands had felt like, was it possible that Sanada was not lying to him? Sanada's hands felt cold and rough to his skin but Ryoma didn't feel scared like he used to be when the memory had come around.

"Mizuki…did this too?" Sanada stopped after kissing Ryoma's cheek and looked straight into Echizen's eyes.

"No. He was a monster, Ryoma. I'm gentle; I put your feelings into consideration. Do you...despise me?" When Sanada saw the small shake of his head, no, Sanada smiled and continued to smother Ryoma with kisses.

Sanada finally noticed that they were not lying in some place warm or comfortable so with Echizen's approval, Sanada picked him up in his arms and carried him to the room he had laid out for him. Sanada laid Ryoma down on the single bed, hovering over the boy's shivering and half naked body. It was quiet and peace-sounding with just the clock on the wall ticking away the time. Ryoma's blushing face put a few dirty thoughts into Sanada's mind as the older male leaned forward and planted a kiss on Ryoma's lips.

With one leg brushed up against the side of Sanada's, Ryoma felt strange but safe at the same time. His heart had accelerated in speed and his head was swirling with anxiety. Although Ryoma didn't feel like reaching and grabbing for anything in particular, he gently took Sanada's cap off his head and placed it aside. Sanada caressed Ryoma's face as he drifted his free hand over the other boy's chest.

"I can't hold back, Echizen." Sanada dove at Ryoma's face like he was bobbing for apples and slipped Ryoma the tongue.

Ryoma's panting got heavier with each breath he could take if Sanada wasn't already closing the gap between them. The last kiss in that moment took Ryoma by surprise as Sanada felt the lump between the boy's legs.

"D-don't! Ah!" Sanada kissed Ryoma's chest passionately while keeping his eyes on the boy's facial expressions. Sanada's current position was in his favor and he planned on keeping that position. Being on top was fun.

He continued to kiss Ryoma's abdomen and stomach until he got to the boy's underwear that stood in Sanada's way of seeing Ryoma's complete body. A blush grew over Sanada's cheeks as he stared in wonder as if he were about to unravel the biggest mystery of his life. Both Ryoma and Sanada were blushing and staring at each other with anticipation and wonder.

"Please, Sanada-sempai." Sanada could see that Ryoma had reverted to his other self that had been accompanying him since he had gotten out of the hospital from his first coma. Sanada gulped loudly and gently grabbed hold of both sides of Echizen's underwear.

Ryoma held onto Sanada's bed sheet that was underneath him while Sanada pulled his underwear off completely, tossing the undergarments to the pine wooden floor. Moaning with pleasure that Sanada was making him feel like this only got him excited and panting more each time Sanada bobbed his head up and down.

"I…I think I'm going to…ah!" Before the boy could say anything else, Sanada had flipped Ryoma onto his knees while undoing his own shorts.

"It's not over yet, Ryoma." Sanada kissed Ryoma's cheek while he pulled the boy backward, letting him slide onto his pulsating lower member.

The pain engulfed Ryoma's buttocks but felt surprisingly good at the same time. Still blushing, Ryoma let out another moan and gripped the bed sheets while Sanada pushed in and then back out again. To Ryoma, it felt like he was breathing for two people at once. Sanada surprised Ryoma a second time around as he dropped himself at the other end of the bed, pulling Ryoma with him, making it so that Ryoma would be sitting on his lap.

"S-Sanada-san!" The sweat poured off the both of them like evaporated water and dropped like small pellets, splashing against bare skin.

The heat was rushing to both of their heads and before they could tell what was what anymore, they both let out long deep breaths. Ryoma stayed straddled to Sanada's lower hip and clung to the older male's shoulders for support. He'd be on the floor had it not been for Sanada's strong muscles.

Sweat came as natural as the water did when it rained and slid down their arms and their legs as well as their faces. Feeling as though he had walked a mile-marathon, Ryoma laid his head against Sanada's shoulder bone, feeling the other teen's pulse upon impact. If there was one thing Ryoma was wishing for, he would put a stop to time itself and hope that Sanada and he could last as long as they have; which wasn't much to say since Mizuki's interference. But for the mean time, Ryoma felt happy being in the older man's arms.
