Yo! I'm updating! And in this update, it will be longer than the usual one thousand words, just like the last chapter I posted! Hope you like it!
Thank you for reviewing
Heart of a Crescent:Thank you!
Murata…as the seme….hmmm..I'll think about it, but I've already written the lemon, and I'm not saying who's the seme 'evil grin'
No comment…..I just don't see that happening….Betrothed vs. fiancé vs. Best Friend? Will end with only ONE pairing, the pairing which got the most votes
death be storm: yeah, it was kind of cute! And the 3 way is going to cum soon
pikeebo: Faithful to who? Oh right! That pigheaded bishounen…..well, let's just see what happens
Murata is NOT Shinou's lover…eww……they are not lovers so there is no way Shinou is getting jealous over him, according to the anime, their relationship to each other is at best Unknown…..they have a relationship in my story, but it's not what you would expect
Yuuri is not behaving so loose, he's just being his usual friendly self….a bit too friendly….but that's him
ninaluv: I sent you a PM, and glad to hear you sister is fine
Chapter 21: The "Date" Part 1: Realization
"We only have one bed"
"And that is a problem, how?"
"Never mind, I'll just sleep on the floor"
"Aw, come on now Shibuya, you know me, I'm Ken Murata! Let's just go to bed now shall we? I'm too tired to talk right now" Murata said as he yawned
"Yeah, me too" Yuuri said as he jumped into bed and before he knew It, he was dead asleep from exhaustion
After a few moments, Murata quickly fell asleep as well, as his body unconsciously cuddled up to the boy next to him who in turn snuggled him…..
Life was good…..
Day 1:
The sun was rising, the sky was being Illuminated, the sun shined through the curtains, slowly making its way to the sleeping boys cuddled up to each other, When the beams of light finally reached the bed and shined against the black hair of the two, the two boy sleeping soundly, one of them snoring like a pig, which was most likely Yuuri, who was dead tired from carrying Murata into their room last night
Murata started to stir, his body finally acknowledging that the day was starting, the day that signals the start of his plan, to remind himself…..that he was friends with Shibuya, nothing more, nothing less
His black eyes started to slowly show, his eyelids slowly opening, his vision blurry, he took his right hand out, and lifted his glasses, then took his left hand and started rubbing his eyes, slowly, focusing his vision, to see the bright new day ahead for him
Once he focused his vision, he put his glasses back on, and then slowly turned, to look at the other boy sleeping soundly next to him
He smiled gently, the vision in front of him (although snoring) was beautiful, an angelic face, so full of spirit, more than enough spirit to brighten him or anyone up
That face that belonged to a person, so full of compassion, for other people, for what is right, for those in need, for those who are oppressed, those being oppressed
Ah yes, that angelic face, that could give out a heartwarming smile, a smile that could make the Devil himself, lower his trident and smile back at him
Murata marveled at the boy in front of him, sleeping soundly, so angelic when he's asleep and so full of energy when he's awake, and although he's so full of energy, he manages to keep that face, that angelic face, so calm, with beauty of the divine
He asked himself "how could someone so pure, so innocent, so full of compassion and love for the people, with a face of divine beauty, be a mere mortal? A person like this should not be able to exist! He must be….a God, a God with a pure heart!"
He smirked and then reached out with his right hand, to touch that face, to hold it, to feel it, to be able to know, that he was not dreaming
He caressed his cheek, with the back of his hand, slowly rubbing downward, he could feel his face heat up, as his fingers slowly traced around Yuuri's lips, he felt the softness of those lips, and then closed his eyes, as he remembered that time at the temple where his accidentally kissed him, and oh, he remembered, how good it felt, he started to shiver at this stimulation
And soon enough, his heart got the better of his better judgment, and slowly opened his eyes, smiling for a brief period, then closing his eyes once more as he unconsciously…..started leaning in
His body, yearning for something, something he didn't know himself, something that was like……when he kissed Yuuri, but it was also something completely different, something…….that was more
His lips were only half an inch away from Yuuri's when a flashback came to his head, just in time to stop him
Flashback
"because….you have…." Shinou was giggling
"Have what? SPIT IT OUT!"
Shinou took in one deep breath and said it all in one go
"becauseyouhavethesamefeelingsashehas" he finally said as he started rolling on the floor laughing again as he was saying
"I-I can't believe you didn't figure it out by yourself!
Murata just stood rooted to the spot, eyes wide, mouth gaping, hands shaking
Shinou's words sinking in
"because you have the same feelings as he has"
"because you have the same feelings as he has"
"because you have the same feelings as he has"
End of Flashback
Murata stopped as his eyes went wide with another flashback
Flashback
Shinou quirked an eyebrow, then shake his head
"I don't know your plan my Great Sage but, I'm sure it will backfire like the last one" Shinou begins chuckling
Murata popped a vein on his forehead
"Oh yeah?! What makes you so sure?" Murata said pouting
"Because…" Shinou clears his throat and looks at the sky
"….Yes, I'll admit, that you are the wisest among us, that you are very cunning, and sometimes you make things up but you always makes it look like you had it all planned out and succeed at fooling us….but…" Shinou started chuckling when he saw Murata blush at his complements
"But what?"
"If we let you plan on what will happen in this kind of matters, we are all doomed"
"Why you say that?!"
"Face it! Your cunning mind was meant for war tactics, covert operations, winning battles against foes that outnumber us! Matters of the heart are just simply beyond you! You're too dense when it comes to that topic!"
End of Flashback
He jumped back as he was now completely aware of what he was doing, what he was going to do, and the reason why he went on a "Date" in the first place
To prove, that his love for Yuuri is, was, and always will be, only as far as friendship
Murata slowly got out of bed, making sure not to wake his friend who was dead tired from carrying him bridal style last night, as he gazed upon the sleeping form once more
Ah yes, bridal style, how romantic, he thought about last night when his arms were wrapped around Yuuris neck, as he was gazing at the boy, soon to become a man that will be remembered as the Greatest Maou to ever take up the throne, the person he has known since he was a child when he was born in the other world, soon his mind went floating away, as he was envisioning a couple, dressed in white, both of black hair and eyes, the one of them carrying the other, making sure not to drop the other, their faces were blur, but as soon as the one carrying the other kissed the person he was carrying, it became clear…that the person was Yuuri, and the one in his arms was……..him?!?!
He quickly shook of those thoughts as he went to the window, to try and keep his mind off that topic with the scenery before him
A few moments later Yuuri started to wake up, with a large groan, as he sat up the bed as he rubbed his eyes and quickly started stretching
Crack…..crack……Crrraaacck!
"Oh man! That felt good!" Yuuri stated as he finished stretching
"So you're finally awake" Murata stated
"Yeah, I guess I was tired from the trip and having to carry you in"
"Oh yeah! I just wanted to ask" Murata said
"Go ahead"
"Uhmm….Shibuya….." his face was flushed, was he going to ask Yuuri about his feelings?
"What?"
"I-I just wanted to know…." Murata gulped "…W-why did you carry me in?"
Yuuri quirked an eyebrow
"Why? You were dead asleep and I pretty much couldn't let you sleep in the carriage now, could I?" he smiled at his friend
Murata pouted
"You could have asked one of the servants, or you could have tried to wake me up"
"Uh…..I didn't think of asking one of the servants, and I tried to wake you up, but like I said you were dead asleep"
"Oh" was all Murata could say
"Now the, is that all?"
"Uh….nope"
Sigh….."What else is there?"
Murata clears his throat
"A-about l-l-last night"
"Hmmm?"
Murata face turned crimson red
"Why did you….U-undress me?" Murata looked away, embarrassed
"Because I thought you were dead asleep, and besides….I wanted to say thank you"
Murata Looked back
"For what?"
"Giving me an opportunity to get out of Günter's class of doom"
Murata started laughing
"Aww, it's no big deal, besides, were going back in two weeks"
Yuuri pouted as he sighed
"Don't remind me"
"Anyway, since you're already up, why don't we start unpacking?"
Yuuri sighed
"All right"
They spent the entire morning unpacking their belongings, placing their clothes in the closet, and other essentials in the drawer of a cabinet, and just in time, when they were finished, a knock could be heard from the door
Knock,knock, knock
"Who's there?"Yuuri asked
"It's me Yuuri, are you two awake?" a female voice asked
"Oh, it's you Flurin, and Yes we are awake and just finished unpacking" Yuuri replied
She opened the door and stepped inside
"Good, now would you like to have breakfast?"
They didn't need to answer when a grumble was heard from the two and the both scratched their heads as they started chuckling
"Alright then, just follow me, we have already prepared you breakfast"
"All right I'm starved!" Yuuri said
"Yeah, me too!"
They followed Flurin to the dining room, where a large feast was awaiting them
"Whoa! " Yuuri exclaimed as he saw a large table, full of different delicacies
"I'm sorry, but this is all we can prepare" Flurin said
"You've got to be kidding! I don't know if I can eat all of this!" he said pointing to the buffet in front of him
Murata put his hand on Yuuri's shoulder
"Don't worry, I'll help you" he said with a grin
"Help me? I don't think you'll be much help"
"Don't worry, I'll help you too!" said lady Flurin
"Well then, lets get started"
They started eating, and soon after, they somehow……managed to eat just about almost everything that was on the table, there was nothing left, except for some pasta
And they quickly took a forkful of pasta and started slurping it down
By a strange twist of fate, they had both taken a single strand of pasta, and started slurping it down, and then a few moments later, as they were slurping it down, their faces came close and then…..contact, their lips met
Yuuri and Murata's eyes went wide
Flurin squealed
Several servants that were present at that time started squealing, and making catcalls
Yuuri and Murata then broke the kiss, as they looked away from each other, embarrassed, cheeks stinging red
Lady Flurin regained some composure and cleared her throat
"Well, now that were done eating, I suppose we can take a tour around the Inn?" She said, sounding oblivious to what she had witnessed
"Uh, no, not yet, I'm going to have to take a bath first" answered Yuuri
"Me too, Come on Shibuya, lets go, I'll wash your back for you" Murata said with a grin on his face, knowing what reaction he will receive from Yuuri
Yuuri jumped back and chuckled nervously
"Uh, hehehe, Thanks for the offer but I think I can manage"
"Alright then, suit yourself"
All 3 of them got up from their seats, Yuuri and Murata following lady Flurin to the baths, after a few moments of strolling down the hallways and they reached a solid wood, oak door, decorated with a few rose petal designs and had an image of a waterfall in the middle
"Well, here it is, you can find some towels and shampoo in the closet just next to this door" She said as she opened the door
"Ah, thank you!" Yuuri replied
"Well then, I'll be off, I'll wait for you two at the dining room" She said before she turned and left
Yuuri and Murata went through the door, an awe escaped from their mouths, as they saw that the Baths were almost just as large as the ones in the castle
Murata turned around, to see the door, and to its left was a beautifully crafted closet, crafted out of Iron, with some silver embedded in its hinges, it could be compared to the Victorian era craftsmanship, back on earth, lots of unique patterns, which all flowed together like a river
Murata then went and opened the closet and saw neatly arranged, folded towels on the left and on the bottom right, while perfumes and shampoos were placed on a shelf in the upper right of the closet, all of them had been labeled with the country of origin
Murata took out two towels and a sponge and then turned around to face Yuuri's back
"So, what shampoo would you like to use?"
Yuuri turned around to face Murata
"Uhm, any I guess, its not like I know any of the perfumes"
"Yeah, me too" Murata said as he turned around to grab the first bottle of shampoo he saw, which just happened to look like the shampoo Yuuri used when he first got here, the one lady Celi left in the baths (The one that enhances one's feelings, making that person be more passionate and bold to the person he/she loves)
Murata went to the bathing pool and placed the towels and the perfume on the edge of the bathing pool, he then removed his glasses and placed them on top of the towels, he then started to undress, as did Yuuri, and when they were completely nude, he took out one hand, and invited Yuuri to join in, Yuuri nodded and they both went in the pool at the same time
They both gave out a contented sigh once their bodies felt the warm water
"Ahhhhhh that felt good!" Yuuri said to himself out loud
"Mnnnnn, yeah, sure did" Murata answered
They both stayed at the edge of the pool for a moment, they were kind of "meditating" in the pool, eyes closed, neither of them making a move for a moment, then Murata finally made the first move as he went and took the "Shampoo that could end up making him rape Yuuri in the pool" Shampoo, and he removed the stopper and placed a generous amount in his hand, as he then went and lathered up his hair
He then offered the shampoo to Yuuri, who accepted it as he gave out a nod of acceptance
Yuuri then went and placed a good amount of the shampoo in his hand, and when he was satisfied that he had enough, he offered it back to Murata, who then took the stopper and placed it onto the bottle, and then placed the bottle on the edge of the pool
Yuuri started to lather up the shampoo in his hands before applying it to his hair, Murata continued to lather himself with the shampoo, as Yuuri then went to the edge of the pool and took the sponge, while Murata moved to the middle of the pool
Yuuri then started to try and scrub his back with the sponge
Try, because he obviously couldn't reach his entire back
Murata, who was in the middle of the pool, stopped his lathering actions for a while, as he gazed at Yuuri's back
That pale back, which Yuuri was desperately trying to scrub, which was partially covered in suds, the lathery substance, somehow, got Murata in a way, he couldn't understand
Murata's breath went ragged, and short
His eyes full of something, that couldn't be comprehended, at least to him
His mind was slowly drifting away as he then went and started picturing "things" he shouldn't think of
The shampoo was slowly, and deliciously painfully, starting to affect him, his body was shaking, and before long, he snapped and did the only thing that he could do
"Shibuya!" it almost came like a shout
Hehehe, hope you guys like this chapter, it took me a miracle to write something this long in just one chapter, and I really wanted to write more but LOL! This chapter took me 2 whole days to type, edit, and re-edit, although I'm sure there are lots of spelling and grammatical errors even though I edited it twice, I wanted to write the first week of them being there but, it would have taken over thirty thousand words to get that up!
Anyway, please read and review, and flame, and spam, or anything! I'm in serious need of feedback! Positive or negative!
