Author's Note:
I cannot believe I've made it this far. First of all, I've never written anything with this many ups and downs and different chapters full of feelings. I say this is an author's note, but it's really a note specifically to thank Hylianshadow86 and KikkyChan for keeping me going. They deserve so much credit for helping this story unfold with their support.
Without Hylianshadow86, I would never have turned this idea into an entire story that has captured all of my heart, and helped me believe that being different is the farthest thing from easy, and even so, is still just as worth living through. I have to save something very important until the end of this story, so I won't say it now, but look forward to something just for you in the future.
The story isn't finished yet, although it's getting there, and I could end it here if I wanted to, however, I just don't think it needs to end just yet. I'm gonna warn you, there's a bit of an old bone thrown back in that was never resolved in previous chapters, so take that as your curve ball, but don't get hit by it too hard.
Also, I will call this *kind of* a lemon. I carefully thought and wrote while I sat on the beach, and came up with this, and honestly I am so intensely hot and satisfied by what Hiro and Hideki do.
So, since you've been such a big help, please do something to reward yourselves! Cheers to twenty chapters! Also, more importantly, to thank someone so near and dear to me, Hylianshadow86.
Chapter 20
Hideki was exactly where he wanted to be, and so was Hiro. Although the boy wasn't fully recovered from the bad spill he'd taken several days before, he couldn't help the fact that he could feel the friction that he and the baker were building together as their hands began to roam each other's bodies.
Hiro's barely clothed manhood was growing against the boy's hardness; Hideki already thought he was going to explode. The man could tell from the look on the teen's face that he was desperately fighting the urge to release. Hiroyasu pinned Hideki down with a forceful, drawn-out kiss, and then moved his big hand down to the boy's tightly clothed erection. He cupped it and got a snug grip, continuously shifting his hand until Hideki's pre-cum started to create a little wet spot that the man could feel coming from the tip of the boy's hardened bulge.
Now, Hiro was feeling a massive constricting feeling in his underwear as well, and he couldn't even believe how intensely hot he was getting, just from groping the teen.
The baker reached into Hideki's shorts and wrapped his warm hand around the boy's hard shaft.
Hideki panted and squirmed almost uncontrollably as Hiro moved his arm, pumping his manhood. The boy thrusted his length into the man's hand as he continued his motions.
"Hiro, this feels so... good..." Hideki managed to say between breaths.
Hiroyasu passionately met the younger male's lips with his and allowed the boy to explore his mouth as he finished jerking him off.
Hideki grunted, breathing roughly while the larger man tightened his grip until boy met his release, coating Hiro's hand in his semen and getting it all over his grey boxer briefs.
The boy seemed tired, judging by the way he was breathing, but hardly a moment later, Hideki climbed on top of Hiro and planted his lips over the man's mouth, and kissed his way down his chest to the bottom of his long torso.
Hiro shuddered in surprise when Hideki stuck his hand into his underwear without any hesitation and immediately grasped his immense dick. The man's pre-cum had already ran down about half of his length. Hideki licked his fingers playfully after running them up and down Hiro's long, thick penis.
As soon as he was finished, Hideki clamped his hand down onto the baker's hardness, and started pumping him. The teen laid down on top of the man so he could reach his lips as he jerked him off.
Hiro wrapped his arms around the smaller boy and moaned into his kiss, feeling the pressure begin to skyrocket within his engorged lower region.
"Hideki!" The man grunted. "I'm gonna blow any-!"
The boy let Hiro claim his mouth vigorously as he worked the larger man to a climax. Hiroyasu's hot semen exploded from his penis all over Hideki's hand, arm, and chest.
When all of the man's seed had finished spurting out, Hideki let go of his manliness and licked off some of the baker's thick essence. Hiro watched the boy close his eyes as he tasted him and smiled, going in for another kiss.
By this point, they were both finally ready to go to bed, and within a matter of minutes, Hideki fell soundly to sleep in Hiro's embrace.
In the morning, Hiro opened his eyes to the most beautiful sight. Hideki's head was resting on his chest peacefully as he slept. The boy was breathing softly, and had his arms gently around the baker's waist in a relaxed, comfortable position. Hiroyasu kissed the teen's head and quietly whispered "I love you" into his ear.
When Hideki started to wake up, he didn't realize he was laying on Hiro's chest. He snuggled into the man's warm skin, thinking it was a pillow, but then began to gain enough consciousness to fully be aware of what he was doing, and that the man's chest was too heated and muscular to be any type of cushion. The boy opened his eyes and smiled, looking up at Hiro.
"Good morning, Hiro!" The boy said, happily.
"Good morning, Hideki," the man replied, as he cuddled the boy and shared a few loving kisses with him.
Both males laid there together for awhile until they were ready to get up. Hideki's chest and and belly were coated in dried semen, and both men had more of the same sticky mess in their crotches.
"Do you wanna get cleaned off?" Hiro asked, giggling.
"I think that's a good idea," Hideki answered, blushing, as he glanced down at the mess all over his body. "You really had a lot in you," the boy added.
Hiro laughed, his face turning bright red. He took Hideki's hand as they both climbed off of the bed, and went into the bathroom. The baker made sure the boy's stitches were all covered up so they stayed as dry as possible.
"It looks like your wounds are starting to close up nicely, Hideki. We'll have to get the stitches out pretty soon," said Hiroyasu, as he wrapped up the last small area on the side of the boy's head.
Once the water was warm enough, Hiro gently picked up the teen and set him down once they had stepped into the shower.
"Thanks," said Hideki.
The boy grinned as he took the bottle of almond shampoo off the shelf. He opened the lid and held it up to the man, motioning for him to take it as they stood in the steamy water together. Hiro took the bottle from Hideki and smelled it, his eyes widening in delight. Both of them couldn't help but giggle over the fact that they were going wild over the sent of a silly little soap, but they didn't care. It smelled so delicious.
Hiro helped Hideki clean himself off, getting the places where the boy wanted the man to touch him the most. In return, Hideki lathered the amaretto soap onto the man's stomach, making it foam up. Then he gently massaged it onto his groin, making Hiro smell like almonds in all the right places as well.
By the time Hiro and Hideki were done playfully getting cleaned off, it was already mid morning. The baker helped the boy get dressed, and then started by throwing his clothes in the wash, along with what Hideki was wearing the previous night.
The boy heard the mailman drop something into his box outside the front door, so he got up to go see what it was.
"I'm going to go check the mail," Hideki called, as he stepped outside to open his mailbox.
When he opened it, there was one envelope. Enclosed were the results from all of his entrance exams. Hideki couldn't wait until he got back inside to open it, so he tore open the envelope right where he was standing.
The teen felt a queezy feeling brewing in the pit of his stomach, and crossed his fingers, hoping that he was going to finally see passing scores. He'd studied as diligently as he could, and with the addition of attending cram school, Hideki knew he'd done the best he could with what he had.
The boy slowly pulled out the contents of his mail, and felt his heart sink when he read the words:
"Dear Hideki,
We regret to inform you that you've failed to meet the required scores on enough college entrance examinations in order for you to move on in the process of getting accepted into a university."
The letter was about a page in length, but the boy didn't need to know anything more than what was in the first sentence. He crumpled the piece of paper up and threw it on the ground in immediate frustration.
"I've been working on getting into college for two years already and not once have I even come close to passing a single one of these stupid tests!" Hideki yelled, stomping on the discarded scraps of paper.
The boy was more disappointed in himself than he'd been for as long as he could remember.
"What's the point of even having these exams?" Hideki pouted, as he began to feel his head start to pulsate.
Hiro decided to go see what was going on, having thought he heard the boy cry out something. When he opened the door, he saw the boy standing there; his face wet with tears.
"Hideki? Come on back inside," the man said, taking the boy's hand and bringing him into the living room.
Hideki sat down and buried his face into a pillow. Hiro didn't know what to do to try to make the boy feel better, so he sat down next to him and gently touched his back, rubbing it softly until the boy removed the pillow from his face.
"Hiro, I don't want to think this, but it feels like I'm really stupid. I can't even pass a college entrance exam," the boy said, with great disappointment in his words.
"Hideki, you aren't stupid at all. You have always been bright, and you know your feelings well. You wouldn't have been able to get past everything you've been suffering through if you weren't the strong, intelligent young man that you are. I really do feel bad for not telling you how I felt towards you earlier on, but I just felt so uncomfortable thinking about it, that I always pushed what was in my heart out of my mind, not knowing how you'd react. I never even let it pass my mind that you'd feel the same way for me until I finally realized how much we both openly discovered how much we care for each other. So, you're not dumb, and you're not stupid; you are bright, and I love you just the way you are, Hideki."
The boy hugged Hiro after hearing what he said. "Do you really mean all of that?" The boy asked, as Hiro nodded and smiled in assurance. "I love you just the way you are too," he added.
"Those test scores aren't going to decide whether or not you're going to succeed. To tell you the truth, I chose the easy way out and went to culinary school. I did have to pass some exams, but they were cooking assignments, not written tests. I know you've been working to pass ever since you graduated high school, but maybe you should take some time off from your studies. If it's any consolation, I could use more help at the bakery. You can work with me for as long as you want, and take all the time you need to figure out what you want to do. It's just a suggestion. I don't want to push you in any sort of direction that you're not comfortable with."
Hideki thought for a moment. "You've definitely got a point. I have done nothing but study and work to pay for school for the past couple of years, and I'd probably be a lot less stressed out if I just took a break from it. I'm not even sure that going to school is what I want to do, it's just what I thought I had to do, because I never knew any better. I can't say for sure right now though. I'd love to work with you at the bakery," Hideki said, his tears finally letting up.
Hiroyasu moved Hideki into his lap and hugged him tightly. "I'm here for you, Hideki. I'll do everything I can to help you. That's what I'm here for, because I love you," said Hiro, looking into the boy's starry eyes.
"Thank you," The boy responded, throwing his arms around the larger man, resting his head on his shoulder. Then he turned to face Hiro, and reminded the man that he too wanted to do whatever he could to be there for him. "I mean that," he stated. "I'm in love with you, and I want to make you happy."
The baker stroked the teen's soft cheek as he spoke. "Hideki, you've already made me happy. You made me happy from the very start."
Hideki smiled, his face rich with pure, beautiful life, as he looked into Hiro's deep, sparkling eyes, then letting his lips be captured by those of the man he loved so much.
