Dirty Secrets: Chapter 10
"My parents are going away for the weekend," leaning forward and kissing Kouji softly. "And some friends from back home are coming up and we're going to go to that amusement park in the city."
"That sounds like fun," Kouji said softly, stepping back away from the door and letting Takuya in. "Did you come over here to tell me that or..." Kouji trailed off, raising a fine dark eyebrow.
Takuya rolled his eyes. "I came over here to invite you, numbskull," Takuya grinned as he grabbed at Kouji's hips to keep him close. "Do you wanna? It'll be fun, promise."
"I'd have to ask," Kouji said with a slight frown, "But I don't have any money to go to an amusement park."
"Awe, come on," Takuya said, disappointed. "I'll pay for you then, it'll be no big deal. I still have money left over from my last birthday."
"I can't take money from you," Kouji said, frowning still. He grabbed Takuya's hand and started leading him toward the stairs to his bedroom. "And I don't want to ask for any."
Ruth was still at work, and Max was home somewhere but Kouji didn't want to bother the man. He had enough on his mind, arranging the move to their new house. Kouji was the last boy left with them, and if the Jensen's appeal went through to adopt Kouji the Boys Home would be closing.
"What's this about needing money?"
Takuya jumped when Max, Mr. Larson to Takuya, appeared around the corner. He brushed his blond hair off his face and gave Takuya a smile.
Kouji blushed, but didn't say anything. He didn't drop Takuya's hand though, which sent a shudder through Takuya. It felt exhilarating to be displaying affection in front of someone, but at the same time it sent Takuya into panic mode. He squeezed Kouji's hand softly. When Kouji didn't speak Takuya stepped forward slightly.
"My parents are going away this weekend and I wanted to know if Kouji would be allowed to spend the weekend with me," Takuya asked. "I have a few friends coming over and we were going to go to the amusement park, if that's alright."
Max glanced at Kouji. "You know you can ask me anything," he said to the teen who looked away. Ever since their talk Kouji had been distant. He was quieter and more reserved than usual, even around him and Ruth. "It's fine with me if it's alright with your parent's Takuya," Max said. "I'll take money out of the bank for you tomorrow Kouji."
After both boys had thanked Max they continued on their way up the stairs and into Kouji's bedroom. Kouji shut the door and headed inside after Takuya. They curled up on the bed together, Takuya rubbing small circles onto Kouji's hips with his thumbs where the other boy's shirt had ridden up.
"I have to drive my parents to the airport Friday night so I can have the car for the weekend. I'll swing by and pick you up after, okay?" he finished his sentence by leaning forward and kissing Kouji on the nose.
Kouji grinned. "Sappy," he commented, leaning forward and letting Takuya kiss him for real. The brunette gripped his hips, flipping them over and pinning Kouji to the bed. Takuya broke away from Kouji to take a breath and leaned down to kiss Kouji's neck, letting his eye lashes flutter against the underside of Kouji's jaw softly.
"God you're pretty," Takuya said, attaching their lips properly before Kouji could protest at being called pretty.
When they broke the kiss Kouji looked into Takuya's eyes with an intensity Takuya hadn't really seen before looking away, a slight tinge to his cheeks.
"What?" Takuya prompted, nudging Kouji in his ribs gently.
"Have you ever thought about going all the way?" Kouji blurted out quickly, his face red.
"All the way?" Takuya asked, thinking about the stuff he had looked up on the internet. "Like, as in sex?"
"God I feel so stupid..." Kouji murmured. "Yeah, like sex."
"I'll be honest and say yes," Takuya answered, meeting Kouji's surprised eyes. "I don't want to push you, so I never mentioned it, but yeah, I have thought about it every now and then."
"With me?" Kouji asked, seeming surprised.
"Well you are my boyfriend, dummy," Takuya said fondly, pressing a kiss into Kouji's cheek.
"Oh," Kouji said, blushing.
"When the time is right," Takuya said, and left it at that.
The morning dawned bright and early and Kouji yawned as Takuya shut the alarm off. They had spent most of the night trading kisses, cuddling and watching TV without the fear of anyone walking in on them in Takuya's bedroom.
"Six A.M, why you so early?" Kouji asked as he rolled away from Takuya's embrace and sat up. Takuya didn't move, just snorted.
"No," he whined when Kouji moved away from where he had been curled up beside him. "Come back."
"I need to shower," Kouji said, grinning at Takuya as the brunette blinked at him.
"Together?" he asked slyly and Kouji stood up to get his stuff together with a roll of his eyes.
"In your dreams maybe," Kouji said as he stood in the doorway.
Takuya huffed but heaved himself out of bed and stretched. Kouji's eyes were drawn to his bare chest and Takuya grinned when he caught him staring.
"I'll start breakfast," he said, grabbing a shirt and a pair of sweatpants to pull over his boxers.
"God help us all," was Kouji's reply, to Takuya's indignation.
But despite Takuya's cooking when Kouji stepped out of the shower, miraculously, the house was still standing and when he went down stairs there were eggs, un-burnt eggs, and toast waiting for him with a steaming mug of tea. Takuya grinned at him.
"See?" he said, and stuck his tongue out for emphasis.
"What are you, five?" Kouji joked as he sat down.
"Do I really look that old?" Takuya griped back at him. "I already ate so while you eat I'm going to go shower and get ready, okay?"
Kouji nodded through a mouth full of eggs and toast and watched Takuya as he ran up the stairs. He heard the shower click on and he sighed. Once he was finished eating he collected their breakfast dishes and washed them, setting the in the dish rack to dry because he didn't know where they belonged.
He stocked the cooler up with the lunch stuff they were bringing rather than paying a small fortune for food at the amusement park and just left the ice in the freezer. He went into Takuya's room upstairs and got his toothbrush and toothpaste and brushed his teeth in the bathroom down stairs.
He was a little apprehensive about meeting who Takuya considered his "best friends in the entire world for life" and hoped he didn't come off as too awkward and scare them away. He stashed his toothbrush and paste back into his bag and adjusted his damp hair. He felt a little naked with his usual bandana but it was a very unpractical accessory to wear while going on roller coasters.
Takuya emerged out of the upstairs bathroom, along with a cloud of steam, dressed and ready to go. His shaggy brown hair was still wet and when he saw Kouji coming out of his bedroom he pinned him against the hall wall and kissed him thoroughly.
"Minty," he commented when they parted and Kouji blushed.
They went into Takuya's room and finished getting ready, and they were just finishing when they heard a car roll into the driveway. Butterflies were having a party in Kouji's stomach and Takuya jumped off the bed with a grin and a shout of: "They're here!" and he proceeded to run down the stairs, leaving Kouji behind.
Kouji stood in the hall waiting awkwardly for Takuya and his friends to come inside. He knew the girl was named Izumi and that the boy was called Junpei, or just plain J.P for short.
"It's so good to see you," he heard the girl say, and he heard Takuya reply in kind. And their voices were growing closer and closer to the door and Kouji's heart was beating so fast he was wondering if he was going to die of heart failure before he actually met Takuya's friends.
Takuya stepped in first and grinned reassuringly at him, "And this," he said, wrapping an arm around Kouji waist and squeezing, "Is Kouji. My boyfriend."
Izumi grinned at him and stepped towards him to hug him and Takuya shoved him forward a little bit.
"Hi!" the blonde girl exclaimed. "It's so good to finally meet you, Takuya talks about you all the time, oh, and I'm Izumi, by the way."
The other teen stepped forward, rolling his eyes. "J.P.," he said. "And ignore her; she forgot to take her anti-ditz pills again."
She wacked him in the arm and said, "Shut it."
Kouji smiled at him. "Hi, he said.
They came in and checked the house out, used the washroom and before Kouji knew it he and Takuya were squishing into the back of J.P's car while J.P and Izumi fought over the radio in the front seat while simultaneously filling Takuya in on everything he missed from back home.
Despite only knowing the two new teenagers for less than an hour, Kouji felt like he belonged.
Kouji stumbled off the ride behind Takuya, his head still spinning. Takuya was grinning so much his cheeks were starting to ache from the exertion. Kouji reached up to adjust the hair tie at the nape of his neck. He opted not to wear a bandana so he wouldn't lose it in the wind and Takuya thought he looked really good with is bangs falling around his face, framing his high cheekbones.
"You have to admit, that was pretty epic," Takuya said as they merged into the crowd at the rollercoaster's exit. "And guess what?" he hip checked Kouji when the other teen didn't respond.
"What?" Kouji replied, rolling his eyes.
"You're no fun," Takuya said. "Now you can saw you've been on the biggest rollercoaster in the country!"
Kouji smiled at him. "You're such a dork," he said affectionately.
"Well you're a nerd so we must be even," Takuya shot back at him, smiling playfully.
They had decided to act more like friends that a couple while at the park. Takuya didn't want anyone to see them, and they didn't want any assholes ruining their day. The small, casual touches Takuya kept giving Kouji were driving him crazy, and Kouji wished they could have enjoyed the day as a couple.
Izumi and J.P hadn't gotten onto the same train as they had for the ride, so the two boys milled around the exit for a few minutes and waited for them.
The day went by fast and they went on a lot of rides, but by the end of the day Takuya was exhausted. He was disappointed that he'd have to walk Kouji back home after they returned from the amusement park. It seemed like the weekend had just flew by.
But before long he was sitting in his bedroom and his parents were home and downstairs, preparing a late dinner. He wished Kouji could have stayed over but he knew his parents, mostly his father, never would have allowed it.
The week seemed to fly by, much like the previous weekend, and before Takuya knew it was already Friday. Kouji was supposed to leave Tuesday and Takuya couldn't believe how fast the days had gone by. They were supposed to go to the movies tonight, but Takuya had told his parents he was going with a group of friends with school.
He was just about to call Kouji when his father burst into his room, anger written all over his face.
"Come here," he snapped, and Takuya stood immediately, unsure at what could have pissed his father off so bad. "Get down to the office, now."
Takuya felt his heart start to pound as he followed his dad down the stairs. He didn't say anything, just obeyed quietly.
"Do you care to explain to me why How To Have Anal Sex appears in my browser's history?" he snapped, glaring at Takuya, who felt the blood rush out of his face. "Or, Ten Tips For Better Bottoming or Anal Advice from The Experts?" By the end of his rampage, his father was practically screaming at him.
Takuya was pretty sure his face was bloodless. He had forgotten to delete the history after he had used the computer. How could he have been so fucking stupid?
"It's that fag, isn't it, the one from down the street," His father continued sneering. "That fucking fairy, how dare he…"
"It's not his fault, dad," Takuya said quietly, practically shaking.
"I don't care whose fault it is but you hear me and you hear me good, boy, I don't want to hear none of this faggot nonsense under my roof ever gain, you got that?" His father snapped, and Takuya nodded stiffly.
"And so help me god, if I see you anywhere near that cocksucker I will personally deal with him, you understand me?"
Takuya fought the urge to punch his father in the face and flee. Instead, he nodded stiffly.
"And you're grounded. No TV, no computer and no leaving your room for the rest of the weekend," he demanded, and Takuya was relieved he didn't ask for his cell phone, and he began to walk away. "And give me your phone, too."
What a way to speak to soon, figuratively.
Takuya was crushed. Kouji was expecting him to pick him up in less than half an hour and he had no way to tell him that he couldn't make it, or why he couldn't make it. Feeling the sting of tears in his eyes, Takuya fled back upstairs to his room, slamming the door behind him and throwing himself onto the bed.
