"Cousin?"
Akihito slurped on his chocolate strawberry milkshake noisily before answered to his flabbergasted friends. "Yup, that's what Kuroda said anyway."
Takato, Kou and Akihito have been spending their boyfriend-free time in town that weekend when Akihito decided to break the news to them about Kuroda who save his ass from that asshole Sudoh. He still need to talk to Fei Long about that, the long-haired Dorm Head definitely owe him.
"So you two are buddies now?" asked Takato.
"Not buddies, we tolerate each other," Akihito replied. "At first I thought he was going to get rid of me, but actually he was just keeping an eye on me if I have funny business with Asami."
"Wow Aki-chan, I don't know you're possessive of Asami," Takato teased and Kou snorted making Akihito flustered, "I'm not!" he denied though it failed from the two matching cheeky grins from his idiot friends. "Shut it, you two," he grumbled.
Flashback
"I am a distant cousin of Ryuuichi from his mother's branch of family," Kuroda told him when Akihito sought after him in the private study room the next day after the incident at Mikhail's party.
"So you're a spy for his family at this school?" Akihito asked, his curiosity peaked that make him unable to sleep peacefully last night.
Kuroda looked at him as if he grew two heads and shook his head. "They don't need me as a spy or whatever nonsense that you think of. I merely care for Ryuuichi's well being in this school as it is my future responsibility as his lawyer to protect him from 'some' people."
"Are you accusing me of something? Let me tell you that I am not a gold-digger or some assassin to behead Asami or –"
Kuroda held up his hand to stop Akihito's rambling and sighed. "Again with your active imagination, I never even said that."
"It's not my fault to think like that, since you being a git from the start I thought I killed your puppy or something."
"Well I apologise for my untoward attitude towards you. I merely was assessing you."
Akihito scoffed. Assessing really? Does he have to take some test or exam to be Asami's boyfriend not that he want it in the first place. "And?"
"I have no problem with you as long as you didn't bring problem to Ryuuichi."
"As you have witnessed last night, problem always come to me not the other way round."
"I think that's why Ryuuichi found you interesting. He never has any interested in a person before you."
End of flashback
"Ne…Aki…"
"Hmm?" Akihito replied absently. Both Kou and he walked back to their dorm, Takato left them saying he has to go somewhere with a disgusting wink. They are not bothered to ask.
"Are you going to miss him?"
"Who—oh…him…" Akihito became silent when he realised Kou asking about Asami.
"Yeah…they will be graduating soon. I know I will miss Suoh-san," Kou's face reddens with embarrassment. "But he says, he'll be seeing me during the weekends."
"I don't think Asami going to waste his time to see me during weekends." Although he said it like he didn't care, Akihito could feel a twinge inside him just thinking about it.
"Will you keep denying until the end, Aki? Won't you confess that you actually love Asami-san?"
"Wha—I'm not going to confess anything to him!" Akihito's face definitely becomes as red as tomato, causing Kou to snicker at his best friend's reaction.
"That's not a denial I heard," Kou grinned like a Cheshire cat. Akihito ended up chasing a laughing Kou up to their room.

"Akihito?"
Akihito snapped out of his train of thoughts and realised he was still straddling Asami as they were in the middle of making out where Asami determined to mark every skin of Akihito that he noticed that Akihito was zoning out.
Asami's piercing pair of golden eyes looked up at him, his eyebrows furrowed in concern that usually reserved for Akihito. "Are you alright?" Asami asked.
"Asami—I'm…" Akihito bit on his lips, averted his eyes as he is not sure how to describe his stormy feelings right now.
Akihito yelped quite unmanly when Asami lifted him up and deposited him gently on the couch before getting up himself. Akihito watched perplexed as Asami disappeared into the kitchen and return with a can of Akihito's favourite orange juice.
"Thank you," Akihito mumbled as Asami handed the orange juice to him wordlessly. Asami seated next to him and switch on the TV when Akihito flicked the cap off and sipped gingerly.
"Are you going to tell me what's bothering you?" asked Asami.
Akihito shook his head. He is not ready… or he could not really find the right words.
"Did you know that, Kuroda told me what happened that night at Abratov's party?"
"I see… what?!"
"Although I'm pleased to hear your confessions to Sudoh but I am more than pleased if I hear it myself from your own mouth..," Akihito gulped nervously as Asami gaze at him, "…Akihito."
Akihito forced out a laugh, though it come out as if he was choking, "No way, bastard. That's embarrassing."
"Hmm… you're embarrassed that deep down in your heart that you love me Akihito?"
"Shut up." So what, his vocabulary has decreased nowadays. Love. Does he truly love Asami? What about Asami? Does Asami seriously love him too?
"I will leave here soon," Asami said, he returned back in watching the TV which showing some anime on high school boys become superheroes to save the Earth.
"Yeah… I know that…"
"Won't you miss me, Akihito?"
"At least I my ass can have a break," Akihito joked lamely. He cursed himself. He should stop denying his feelings already. "I'm sorry."
Turning his gaze from the TV; Asami posed a questioning look as if asking what Akihito is apologising for.
Akihito casted his eyes down on his orange juice, his hands clenched hard on the empty can. "I….I'll miss you. Although you gave my life a crazy turn these few months. I will still miss you…" Before he knew it, he feels his cheeks wet. Just realising he is crying.
"Akihito?" Asami held Akihito shoulders gently.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me…." Akihito rubbed his teary face. "It must be the orange juice."
Asami's lips twitched lightly. "It's not even an alcohol."
"I know that, you bastard," Akihito embraced Asami and kissed him hard on the lips.
Akihito cherished the moments that night Asami treated him possessively than he ever had as if he did not want to ever let him go, not even inches away from him.
Asami nibbled teasingly at Akihito's pink bud, "Ryuichi…" Akihito gasped out breathlessly. Akihito panicked for a moment as he feels Asami tensed above him before he lowered himself and caught Akihito lips in deeper kiss.
"Ryuichi..." Akihito breathed out as they broke apart for air.
"Say my name again, Akihito," whispered Asami.
"Ryuichi... please…" Akihito breathed against Asami's lips.
Asami growled low in his throat which sends heat pooling in Akihito's loins. Asami's thumb stroked teasingly at the hollows created by his hips dangerously close to his sensitive parts while lips pressed to the curve of Akihito's neck, nipping and sucking at the tender flesh.
"Ryuichi…take me please…" Akihito groaned and arched his hips. Asami wrapped his elegant fingers around his length and began to tease him with light strokes.
A moment later Akihito found himself digging his nails into the sheets barely had time to take another breath before Asami pushing into him again. Asami was slamming into him again and again until he was buried to the hilt. As a particular thrust grazed his prostrate Akihito mewled at the sensation of warm pleasure shot through his body and came. His hole twitched and flexed around Asami's causing the other to come inside him after few more hard shoves. Asami smothered Akihito with languid, lazy kiss as Akihito run his fingers through Asami's hair.

Asami propped himself up on one elbow, his eyes flickered to Akihito snoring softly on his pillow cuddled towards Asami's chest looking like a satisfied cat that got cream.
He never imagined he will feel this content to have someone like Akihito in his bed, in his life hell he never imagined he is going to be this interested in a person such as Akihito. Akihito is like a wild cat, unpredictable and with fiery passion which make Asami tempted to tame the fire.
Although he knew and fill with regret and guilt that he has to leave his Akihito after his graduation from the academy but he knew he have to fulfil his duty, he have to do what he had to do therefore he could protect his Akihito in the future.
Asami leaned in, kissed Akihito's forehead and murmured gently. "I promise we'll be together soon, Akihito."
