Abe POV

I heard Mihashi panting harshly behind him. I didn't blame him, hiking sucked. Even my chest felt heavy with harder breathing.

"I think we should stop here." I told him, catching his hand, and pulling him up the rocks he was struggling on. He slipped, nearly face-planting into my shoes, but I managed to catch him, "Are you alright?"

"Ye-yeah, thanks Abe-kun..." He peeked up at me, his face still pressed into my chest.

I smirked, he was so damn cute. "You didn't twist anything, right?"

"N-no..." We stared at eachother for a moment. My ears catching the sound of a creek off to the left.

"Come on, let's go rest over there." I slid my fingers into his, pulling him with me towards the sound of water, finding an almost oasis-like place.

"B-but Momokan," He panted heavily, "said...top of mountain." I actually understood what he was saying this time.

"Maybe tomorrow, this is what we managed today and it's pretty good." I told him, instructing him to sit by the edge of the creek, taking off his shoes as he sipped out of his water bottle.

"Abe-kun! Sh-shoes! My-myself!" He squawked.

Amazingly, I understood him again, "Don't worry about it." I offered him a smile, "I can take off your shoes, you just drink your water and relax." His face blushed, adverting his eyes from mine. I took off his socks and then set his feet in the water, "Feel good?"

He nodded, "Ye-yes, thank you Abe-ku-kun..." He screwed the cap back on his bottle, setting the bottle off to the side, and staring down at his feet in the water.

I took off my shoes and socks, and sat down next to him, feet also submerged. We were comfortably silent for awhile, it made me all the more hesitant to break the silence we were sharing.

"Mihashi..." I began. He jolted and looked over at me with wide eyes. "was it okay when I kissed you? I wouldn't want to do something to you that you didn't like..." He squirmed as I spoke, if I wasn't used to it, I would think something was wrong with him. "I just wanted to kiss the person I like, but if you don't like me back-"

"I like Abe-kun!" His exclaimation startled me, and apparently him as well, because his face went even more red and his eyes got wider as he glanced back and forth at his feet and me, over and over, "I l-like Abe-kun too..."

I caught his chin, making him look at me, "I'm glad." I felt a smile climb onto my lips. He actually liked me back! I hoped he would, but actually having him say so-wow! He bit his lip, still squirming as I stared at him, not releasing him. I slid closer to him, planting my hand on the ground behind him, and leaning into him. I could almost hear the 'IT LOOKS DELICIOUS!' as I took his lips with my own.

He turned into me as we kissed, his hand shakily clutching the front of my shirt. It was wonderful to feel him melt into me, the way his lips responded to mine, the way they parted as I asked for it, the way his tongue tentatively tangled with mine.

We broke apart, I stared into his beautiful eyes, and brushed my thumb across his still moist lips, "Mihashi, I want to touch you."

His eyes widened slightly, as he gulped, and nodded shortly, "O-okay..."

"I can?" I didn't want to push him into it, if he wasn't ready and was just going with my flow.

"You can." Astonishing how he didn't stutter, his voice was merely soft, shy. Our lips locked together again, but it wasn't long before I was laying kisses along his jawline, trailing down to his neck...He let out a light sigh, tilting his head back. I nipped his skin with my teeth, sucking on his throat gently, as I laid him down on his back, sliding my hand down his front.

He gasped when I cupped his package, shivering as I stroked over his pants. I pushed his shirt up, exposing his creamy skin that still had a light pink tint from his sunburn. He whimpered, letting out a little cry as I kissed his nipple, swirling my tongue around it, sucking on the tender flesh. I unzipped him, deftly pulling his hardened length from his underwear.

"Ah-Abe-kun!" He gripped the back of shirt, his pitcher's grip pretty close to ripping my shirt. I watched him writhe in pleasure as I rubbed him up and down, pushing my thumb across his crown, making him jolt. Fuck, he was adorable. His eyes were closed, but his open lips freely released moans.

"Does it feel good, Mihashi?" I asked, leaning over him, staring down at him.

He opened his eyes, and flushed all the way to his ears when he met my eyes. "G-good." He nodded shyly, then cried out again when I gripped him alittle harder, pushing my hand down and up his length. I kissed his lips again, greedily he accepted my kisses, moaning into my mouth, panting between each kiss. His breath quickening each moment, until finally he dug his fingers into my back, his voice breaking into silence as he climaxed, back arching slightly up into me. He went limp, panting some more.

I kissed his forehead, his nose, his cheeks, "Mihashi, you're mine, right?"

His arms hugged around me, Mihashi putting his face into my chest, "Yea-yeah..." He snuggled into me, "This means we're d-dating...?" He glanced up at me.

I smiled, "Yeah, dating. We're lovers now...Ren..." I answered, wondering if he'd freak out by me calling him by first name. He shouldn't, after what we did, right?

He bit his lip, eyes still locked on mine, "Right...Takaya..." His voice was so soft, I barely heard it. Barely. But I did, and it made me feel...unstoppable...powerful...like now that I had him, I could take on the world. I cupped his face, kissing him again.

I could really get used to being called by my first name...especially when it was my lover calling.
