I can't believe i made it to chapter 30 this is officially the longest story on my profile and im proud as hell to have kept going with this story and kept coming up with ideas for this story even tho some of the stuff didn't make sense like having Chazz's dog being a fucking werewolf who killed Bruce and turns out he's Alexis's missing brother, I pulled that idea out of my ass I originally had it where Judai had shifted into a wolf unknowingly and killed Bruce but I then realized that that's too sudden a move this early in the story to be believable.
On to the chapter!
"I cant believe I let you talk me into this…" Judai expressed relentlessly in the last 5 minutes as the 4 boys were stuck waiting by the road side because Aster's vehicle blew a tire on the road, the boys now having to wait for a tow truck while Aster was on the phone with his mechanic demanding the guy to come replace the tire so they could get on the road.
"We both were talked into it. Lets not forget that, Ju-chan.." Johan responded to his brunette semi date as they look at Chazz who looked annoyed to the tenth degree.
Practically kidnapping the male at 9 n the morning had all been Aster's idea so they could get on the road and get to the hotsprings which were a town over from where they lived in Willow.
They were thankfully only 5 miles outside of Willow so the truck could come and replace the tire and not tow the damn car just because of a blow out. Which is what Aster was on the phone complaining to his Mechanic of doing so they could get to Darthbrook before sundown and be back home by Sunday evening.
"Just get in your truck and replace the tire, Milton! I will pay you double the amount! Its important that we get on the road!" Aster demanded pinching the bridge of his nose sheer frustration was glued to his face at having to nearly bed/ threaten his mechanic to help him out in his situation.
"Can't I just call my driver and you give him the directions since your being so Damn secretive Aster!?" Chazz hated having been dragged out of the house on a Saturday morning by his flirtatious wanna-be boy friend to be shocked to see Judai and Johan sitting in the car looking awkward as hell by the position they were put in.
"Your right…" Aster yield to his crush as the black haired male dialed up his driver. It only took about 20 minutes for his limo driver to get there as Aster approached the driver explaining to him where they were going.
Lucky for the boys, they discussed what was gonna happen at the talent show. "Yuki, your gonna sing right?" Chazz was blunt about it obviously not caring about who he said it in front of.
"C-Chazz..! The hell man..!" Judai looked apprehensive. He flinched away from his black haired friend looking as if Chazz saw him in his birthday suit.
"Come off it. I know you and Syrus were planning to do that song. The one you made sure Syrus knew how to play so the two of you could do that song." Judai's expression changed to one of pre annoyance as he leered at his childhood friend whil Chazz gave a look like he gave two shits about Judai being miffed.
"So you can sing Judai. I thought you were just full of hot air wanting to audition for that musical we originally planned on doing." Aster remarked at the two who continued their little display.
"I heard Ju-Chan sing before. His voice makes the room melt away, kinda…" Johan spoke up and immediately bit his tongue out of embarrassment as both him and Judai turn bright red at his very complimentive words.
"I swear you two…" Aster sighed shaking his head and Chazz chuckled at their bemused expressions. Chazz's laughter helps dissolve the duo's embarrassment as they both relax as the limo drives towards their destination.
Nearly 2 hours later the groups pulls up to a very oriental style building making Judai gasp in joy. "Whoaaaa! It's amazing!" Chazz's eyes go bewildered at the sight before blinking repeatedly before looking at Aster. "What is this..?" He cocks his head sideways pointing at the building.
"A hot springs spa." Aster said calmly knowing how excitable Chazz tends to get over small things. Chazz started twitching and sweating as a response. "S-spa?" The silverette nods as both the brunette and teal haired boy back away from Chazz before he nearly explodes.
But it never comes as the black haired male deflats and slumps over looking done in by Aster's overdone gesture of their first date.
Judai looked up at the building once more feeling a somewhat familiarity. 'Why does this feel familiar..?' Johan tapped the brunette's cheek making him blink out of his thoughts before looking to emerald eyes who were searching his face out of curiosity.
"Your thoughts roaming again..?" Johan brought his voice down low enough just for his companion to hear making Judai nods in response. "Only this time.. It's as if i've been to someplace like this before.." Johan acknowledged his words as his own thoughts entered his head.
'He might definitely have a memory come back to him by being here…' Johan just had to stay by his side for when it came in case the brunette would loose consciousness.
The 4 enter the spa which had brown glossy flooring vanilla walls with turquoise lining and red and black checker board ceiling. The group remove their shoes before being greeted by the hostess.
"Welcome~ welcome welcome!~ my name is Izuchi and Ill be just one of many here to make sure your spa experience is wonderful!~ name please?" The woman in front of them dawned a lime green oriental outfit with a love sleeved top similar to a kimono but had dark green baggy styled pants.
The was a intricate patterned on her outfit which looked like fireworks. Her hair was long blonde and braided and swept behind her shoulders with a thick bow in her hair that matched her outfit.
"It's under Aster Phoniex. I requested two rooms adjacent to each other with a closing door?" The blonde beauty smiled her bright lips nearly reached each side of her small face.
"Right here Mr Phoniex I hope you have a wonderful time!" She passes the key to a woman behind the desk with her a male very tall and lanky with chestnut brown hair with black roots that was cropped short and styled sleekly.
"Follow me, Gentlemen. My name is Hitoshi and I'll be making sure everything is available and ready for you." the chipper male introduced himself wearing the nearly similar get up as Izuchi but his was grey with dark grey pants and his design had golden bells on it.
"Wow this is so amazing." Judai was in awe of everything nearly wandering away from the group just to explore the building. Johan had to keep a tight grip on him to make sure he didn't get too far.
"Cmon Ju-chann, we gotta see the room first then we can see everything!" He was trying to corral his crush's enthusiasm but even the bluenette himself was amazed by the very lovely and possibly expensive experience.
Hitoshi unlocked their room and shoved it open revealing a traditional style room with a large black table in the middle with cushions on the floor, wall scrolls and orchards spread around the room with an extension of the room which showed a bedded area where the futons were laid out.
"Whoa, it's like I'm 5 years old again back home in Japan." Judai almost teared up a little surprised by the extend the oriental spa house and it's rich cultural design. As much as he griped about his mom changing the way their house looked the day his friends dropped in, he wasn't gonna deny he missed the feel and look of his childhood before willow.
"I think you made Yuki cry Aster." Chazz noticed Judai was covering his face to keep everyone from seeing him nearly in tears. Aster looked baffled as he rested his arms on the near crying brunette trying to come up with some way to apologize but, even he knew by the look in Judai's eyes that no apology was even needed.
That the brunette was missing a piece of what he always been, a fish out of water in America who didn't realize he missed home. "Thanks for including us.." Judai mustered up trying to make sure his voice didn't crack when he thanked Aster, the silverette just giving a simple smile.
The 4 sat down as Hitoshi immediately went over everything the spa offered including couples massages which Aster had booked in advanced making the brown and blue haired duo turn pink in surprise but gave no comment or disagreement.
"We also have a menu for while you stay in your room for room service. And we have complimentary kimono outfits for you 4 after your dip in the hot springs. It is separated by gender tho since all of you are men there's no need, and they are labeled. Please remember only 15 minutes max in the hot springs at a time, we wouldn't want any of you to get light headed." He throughly explained everything before taking his leave as a cute smaller girl entered and served them some nice black tea.
"Wow Aster. You really did an impressive first date." Chazz was now the one to express how blown away he was by this experience.
Aster pulled the black haired male in close suddenly and planted a firm but soft kiss on Chazz catching him by surprise. As soon as Aster released the boy he fell backwards and hit the mat his face scarlet from the surprise and unexpected kiss.
"Thank you my darling~" Aster almost oozed with pride as his heart skipped a beat over Chazz's words. "I think you stunned him." Judai pointed to Chazz who hadn't made a move to get off the mat his face still red.
"If you look at me, I will kill you." His one sentence made Judai flinch hiding behind Johan who looked at his crush inquisitively. Aster and Johan chuckled at their crushes antics one being afraid and one blushing like a madman.
The boys are soon escorted to their couple's massage, each male is given a towel and told to strip down and wrap the towel around their waist. Chazz rolled his eyes. "This is gonna be embarrassing…"
Chazz came out first and went to the furthest massage table and waited for the others to come out. Aster came out next blushing at his crushs figure. "Kinda cute if you ask me, hehe." He chuckled at Chazz who stuck his tongue out hiding his embarrassment with childlike behaviour.
Johan and Judai took the longest as the two came in Johan sending worried glances to his partner as Judai walked out kinda apprehensive due to his scarred up back showing. Very few people saw his scars and Chazz and Aster were not one of them. He tried to keep his scars hidden from Chazz and Syrus.
"I'll be okay Johan.." Judai assured his crush that he would be fine with his back showing. Soon 4 people came in two girls and 2 males as they greeted the boys. They again wore matching outfits all in the shade of twilight blue with golden stars across their tops.
they were all on the shorter side even the males, who were only a foot or 2 taller than the girls. One girl had glasses with short orange hair, the one next to her had midnight blue long hair swept into twin buns, the guy had yellow blone hair and the one next to him had freckles across his face with dark cherry red hair.
"Hello and welcome to Couple massages!" The orange haired girl spoke up. "My name is Miki."
"I'm Suzuki." The twin bun girl said next as the male next to her grinned. "Mitchi." and the red head smiled bashfully. "Reggie."
"Nice to meet you nice folks, please take care of us." Johan bowed his head to him remembering what Judai had said about respecftul things that Japanese people did. Chazz and Aster followed Johan's example as the 4 massues returned the gesture.
Miki went to Judai as Suzuki Mitchi and Reggie went to Johan Aster and Reggie respectively as the four boys laid on the tables. "So I hear from Hitoshi and Izuchi that you boys are from Willow." Suzuki stretched her hands out popping her knuckles. "Yea thats right." Chazz grumbled resting his chin on his arms as Reggie works into his shoulders.
"Sounds like such a dainty place." Mitchi spoke up next digging his elbow into Aster's shoulder who grunted at the action. "OI DONT YOU BREAK HIM DAMNIT!" Chazz leaned up to glare at Mitchi who sweated holding his palms out to Chazz sweat running down his face. "P-possessive fellow you got there.." Mitchi murmured to Reggie who just chuckled.
"You sure have a lot of scars, sir. Am i allowed to remove these bandages?" She points to the ones on Judai's back, Johan looking over to see. "I think they're healed up by now, Ju-chan." Johan nods to the brunette who okayed the orange haired girl to remove the bandages. "Your friend is quite a looker. Izuchi said this was a double date situation. So that means you two are dating?" Suzuki giggled at Johan's sudden quiet nature as him and Judai dont answer the lady.
"Theyre pussyfooting around. Dont ask them overly complicated things." Chazz's words made Mitchi and Reggie chuckle making Johan and Judai turn slightly red as the girls went to work on them, Miki being extra gentle on Judai with his scars.
"This whole double date was my idea. I honestly didnt think this one would come willingly for our first date if these two hadnt joined." Aster just smirked proudly while Chazz sent a glare his way gritting his teeth.
"You dragged me out of my house at 9 in the morning, you silver fox!" Chazz couldnt really insult the male next to him because the guy was just as rich as he was, his family was. Aster rolled his bright blue eyes before looking at Chazz and smirked playfully.
"Well we have complimentary champagne in your room so when you go back you can enjoy some after your baths and dinner!" Reggie smiled working on Chazz's lower back earning a grunt from the male.
"Dont you hurt my spazz over there~" Aster teased making Chazz turn hot red and want to jump up and strangle the silverette for his teasing. "ITS CHAZZ NOT SPAZZ!"
"Damn you let him rile you up good, Chazz." Judai observed the two slightly teasing slightly bickering couple. Chazz huffed looking away from Aster who still have a lovely dovey smile on his face. Johan's emerald eyes were super focused on Judai as he wasnt paying attention to him as a dopey grin crossed his face looking at the soft and sweet brunette.
'Hes so adorable…" Johan thought looking at him, Judais eyes going to him as the two shared a gaze unable to tear their eyes away from each others as their faces slowly turned red. Judai was the first to tear his eyes away from the beautiful teal haired male gazing at him as he felt like he was drowning in his emerald green eyes.
Johan couldnt help but let out a small gasp at Judai for looking away from him, but he didnt let his hurt show as he turned away from the brunette and pressed his face into the table.
And hour drone by slowly as the 4 massues left telling them to be careful standing up and putting their clothes on. Instead the 4 got their clothes and went ahead to their bath.
Aster pulled the screen door open that led to the hot spring, three of the males going out and immediantly getting in with their towels on to keep their decency.
Judai stood by the door as a vivid image flitered over his eyes as he shut his eyes, his hand on the screen door. He didnt hear the worry cries of his friends as he fell into a memory.
"You said your sister found this place?" A disembodied voice spoke to a blonde haired blue eyed male as he was leading him by hand through the woods carefully.
"Yes she said to bring the Alpha. that he needs to melt his stress away." Jesse smiled a hint of laughter in his words. He was almost joyful looking back at the figure whos hand he held.
"Your sister should think more of herself and her children, instead of worrying over the two of us. I have you worrying over me enough, Jesse." The voice sighed shaking their head as Jesse turned quickly to the person and pressed his free hand to thei face.
"She knows how forbidden it is for us, its why she found such a secluded place for us to spend time together outside of me being your protector…"Jesse's blue eyes dimmed as the person's free hand stroke his face gently before ruffling his hair.
"Dont look like that alright…? I'm sorry… Tell your sister thank you. Now what did she find?" the voice was full of compassion and care making the blue eyes belonging to the blonde light up with joy as he continued to lead the person through the bushes to a lush hot spring area that was hidden deep in the dense woods nearly 3 miles from their werewolf village.
"Its a hot spring…Its wonderful." the person spoke again before taking Jesse in his arms and pressing a kiss to the blonde's head making him blush. "All for you Alpha..~" he teased leaning into the male's arms. "No, all for us, my sweet protector."
The memory faded as quickly as it came, Judai quickly recovering and regaining his awareness as he looked into the eyes of his startled friends. "Ju-chan?!" "Oi, Yuki! Dont be scarying us alright??" "Judai, say something!"
They each gripped the brunette trying to arouse him from his stupor as he took in a sharp gasp before holding his head in his hands. "I remember something…" The words slipped from his mouth before he could really focus. His brain was hyper aware at the moment and was in a frenzy over the event.
Johan met Judai's gaze nodding as he took him back to the room. "You two enjoy your time. Me and Judai will have ours later when he feels better." He called back as the two turned down the hall.
Chazz turned red as he sighed going back to the hotspring and watched Aster come in and join him, sitting next to him as he sighed in content.
Chazz pouted slightly blushing just a bit. "Damn you for being the more expressive individual here…" Chazz grumbled as his ebony eyes look into Aster's blue eyes which were twinkling with delight.
"Your very verbal and expressive. You just dont know how to show cutesy emotions or flirty." Chazz couldnt deny Aster's words. Slowly he wrapped an arm around Aster's waist and pulled him flush against his side before planting a kiss on the male's neck.
Aster gasps in surprise over Chazz's sudden touch and kiss to his neck. His blue eyes widen heavily before looking down at the ebony male who doesnt raise his head to look at him as Chazz peppers kisses across Aster's neck and collar bone.
"C-chazz… o-okay! okay, you can take your time being affectionate!" The silverette whimpers as his face flushes pink from the action of his crush.
Chazz smirked before raising his eyes to the silvertte making him blush further and started to make him feel like prey in the eyes of his dark piercing black eyes.
'I think i just unleashed a beast…' Aster blushed red as his gaze was locked with Chazz's as the ebony male touched his cheek with the palm of his hand before pulling him in close and locking lips with the silverette.
Both male's faces turning slightly pink from the action as Aster leaned into Chazz their bare chests touching ever so slightly as they kissed, before pulling back enough to look into each others eyes.
"G-guess that means we're going steady now…?" Aster asked with a tremble in his voice his face turning another shade of bright pink. Chazz chuckled running his hand through Aster's hair a smirk playing on the edges of his mouth. "You know it Phoniex."
