Chapter 18:

"So can I take this as an invitation?" Hyuuga asked earnestly. Konatsu only stared at the elder bewildered.

'Invitation…to what…?' He mused for a second until Hyuuga inched closer and pressed his face, more particularly his lips on to the other's exposed neck. 'Eh?' The blond involuntarily backed away but the brunette strongly had him in his arms as he nuzzled further. While he was at it, those arms began stroking his back until a hand reached for the back zipper, pulling it down.

"Huh? Wait, Hyuuga-san—what are you—?" Konatsu exclaimed but was cut off by the elder's lips. The blond stared with wide eyes as his superior's lips were pressing against his downturned ones. 'N—no way-don't tell me this is what he meant by invitation?!' The younger was speechless beyond words that Hyuuga would think about doing that with him and even more so on what to expect next. He finally shut his eyes as the brunette greedily pushed forward to part his lips while he unzipped the teen's dress—not removing it. The teen held onto the other's clothing tightly as his mind was dulling and nerves awakening to a completely new feeling.

Soon enough the brunette added his tongue in the mix as he licked the blond's upper lip before inserting it in. Konatsu stumbled a step or two back panting heavily through his nose and mouth with a face totally flushed. Just rethinking about the scenes that took place brought an even darker shade of red to his face. Drunken by the bliss himself (or maybe it was the alcohol from before he couldn't tell), Hyuuga took the opportunity to remove his glasses and cradle the teen again and led him backwards on to the bed.

"Hyu—Hyuuga-san…" Konatsu tried to call out to the other, staring into his opened eyes since the dark lens were off now. The elder only smiled back at other's baffled state as he held the corners of his face with his gloved hands.

"You're so beautiful, Konatsu." Hyuuga used his real name for once while he rubbed his thumb over the younger's wet lips. "Let me see more of you." The fact that he was acting so charming was setting another fire in Konatsu which made him unable to say no and that was probably the elder's intentions too. However, thanks to him, the blond finally recognized the name for his own feelings. He had always had a special connection with the lieutenant but he must have been very naïve to name it 'admiration.' While on the other hand what Hyuuga felt was something much stronger and accurate or called 'love.'

'Even so, I wasn't expecting to do this… I'm not even mentally prepared!' The blond fretted though he noticed a certain part of him between his legs growing.

"It's fine Kona-chan, it'll be fine—just trust me." The brunette replied as if he had just read his mind. Konatsu almost did believe him as he was lowered on the bed with the elder hovering over him. Hyuuga bent down to kiss him again until they needed another breach for air. Thus he took the time to suck and plant kisses on the teen's neck, being sure to leave hickeys all over the place.

"Ah! This—" 'This is too embarrassing.' Konatsu was about to say but didn't get the chance once he caught Hyuuga pull the maid costume down his shoulders to nibble on his collar bone. "Ne—anh!" 'And why does he look so seductive?' He peeked a glance at the brunette without his glasses for a change.

Not long after, Hyuuga impatiently yanked off his cloak, letting it fall to the ground and undid the buttons of his shirt so that he could get back to teasing the younger's nipple with ease. He clutched the area around it while licking it in circles—also evoking seductive moans from the other. At the same time his free hand extended, sliding past his thighs and into his underwear. Konatsu immediately jerked once and clasped both of his hands on top of the other's hand.

"Hey, hey, no need to feel embarrassed now. It's only me." Hyuuga hissed in his ear. "I'll make my Kona-chan feel real good—so let me." He resumed to moving his hand up and down against Konatsu's member.

"No—ah! Hyu—uga-sa…n." The blond compressed his shoulders while his stomach did unnecessary flips.

"That's more like it. Enjoy it now, cause you're rewarding me later." Hyuuga added, continuously grinning at his view of the blond. In other words, his angel all wet, blushing and panting in a half naked frilly dress—what more could he ask for? If only he had a camera maybe… The elder kissed the other's pale thigh before sliding off his stockings and spreading him wider. "Okay now just close your eyes and think nothing." Hyuuga snickered before he chewed off his gloves and reached for anything in the night stand drawers. Unfortunately there was only hand lotion and a bunch of other useless material. "Can't be helped." The brunette murmured to himself as he lifted the other's hips high enough to reach his mouth.

"Uwah! Hyuuga-sa—what are you—?!" Konatsu shrieked completely abashed. Hyuuga pretended not to care as he began to poke the younger's opening. Until his hole was coaxed enough, he inserted a finger and began playing with it. "Er…ah!"

After nearly ten minutes of preparations, the lieutenant pulled his fingers out and straddled the other's legs properly.

"Why…?" The blond peered at the elder, completely drained already.

"Hmph." The brunette sneered. "That was so it wouldn't hurt ya but the real fun of this present starts now." Was the last thing he said right before he thrusted himself impatiently into the teen. The younger's eyes opened once more as tears eventually formed in the corner of his eyes.

"Agh! Hurts—Hyuuga-san!" The blond rocked back and forth with him as he clawed the other's bare back desperately holding on for dear life.

"Kona-chan. Konatsu look at me." Hyuuga wrapped an arm behind the younger while he was holding on. Konatsu still had his eyes shut but the elder whispered something in his ear anyways.

"Th—that's not fair. Ah! You can't…say that…at a time like this—!" Konatsu told grudgingly while the brunette only smiled.

'I love ya.'

And now back to AyaMika:

Mikage lay silently on the bed with his back deliberately towards the door. That's why when the door opened he pretended to ignore it. All he heard was Ayanami dragging a chair near the bed behind him and sit down.

"Mikage-kun," The name sounded so tender whenever Ayanami called him, like there was melody in itself. "I need to know. When the time comes who will you choose? This time I want the right answer: The Empire or Teito?" The elder mouthed. That question immediately caused the blond's eyes to snap open wide along with his head that swerved him in the direction of Ayanami. He was now sitting up and staring fearfully at the question he was hoping to avoid the most. Ayanami was gazing back at him with his intense purple eyes that formed wide U-shaped arches on the top of his eyes. Mikage averted his own eyes to the sheets that was forming creases around him.

"Teito or me?" The silverette asked again impatiently. He clenched his fists— which were locked under his chin— at the lateness of what should have been the most easiest answer. The blond would happily chose Ayanami but that didn't mean he concurred the idea of killing Teito! And the silverette was too possessive about him to listen to reason. It's like he wanted all of him or nothing.

"…please don't kill Teito." Mikage finally replied. The chief abruptly stood up.

"Invalid answer." He simply claimed before striking the blond across the cheek. It all happened so fast too. Mikage didn't realize when his face was facing the other direction until a burning sensation in his left cheek answered that thought. He slowly turned his face back to Ayanami shockingly, while placing a hand on his cheek as well. Before he could mouth a complaint, the elder suddenly grabbed both his shoulders and shook him as if to knock some sense into him. "Why do you always insist on choosing the hard way?!" The silverette raised his voice for once. "One last time: Teito or me?"

The younger was already beginning to feel unstable and vulnerable, still in shock from the previous blow and with shaking hands—he was far from giving a casual answer. "Ah…ha, Ayanami-san…" The blond uttered, nothing else processing in his brain at the moment. Ayanami inferred this as an answer instead, finally feeling the relief he was predicting. Without a second thought he strongly wrapped his arms around the teen's bare shoulders.

"That wasn't so hard was it?" The silverette suggested digging his face in the pale blond head. Mikage would have loved the gesture, but unfortunately something in him was suffocating. He had no choice but to automatically lean in with a contradictory thought. 'His possessiveness is going to drive me insane. It's not normal…' Mikage confessed in his mind while he shut his eyes until the elder let go after two whole minutes which to the teen's cold body felt like seconds. "Would you like something to eat?"

The younger slouched back on the bed, recalling his cheek again and couldn't help but let humiliation build up in him. His throat felt dry as he crouched over his knees holding back a sob. 'Even so, how could he hit me? Is there something wrong with me?' The self evaluation brought water clouding in his eyes that all he saw beneath him was a blur of the peach colored sheets. When he didn't answer, the elder called his name once more, puzzled by his position.

"Mikage-kun?" That's when a loud sob really slipped through Mikage's tears causing his cover to be blown and begin bawling out. "Hey," the chief felt troubled suddenly by his abrupt act of weeping and tried to lift the teen's face up to eye him but Mikage refused to do so and kept crying. "It shouldn't have hurt that badly considering I didn't even use my right hand." That bit of detail only weigh down on Mikage more than Ayanami would have rendered.

"hic…ngh—"

The elder heaved a guilty sigh after he witnessed the blond's red tear streamed face and worn out physique. "Alright, I'll apologize." He cupped the younger's face with both his hands lifting it higher again to look into his squinted eyes. "Try to understand, I only love you as much and I can't bear you leaving. Which is why I need you to feel the same way no matter what." The blond stared back into his eyes to find sincerity and for some reason more than a part of him was believing him and willing to forgive him. The teen sniffed one last time before averting his below and back up.

"Ayanami-San …I won't leave your side, but…" The blond didn't wish to deceive the other but at the moment he wasn't aware of forming a sentence without Teito in it due to their current dilemma. Maybe silence is the best sometimes. "So, please don't be angry." Mikage changed the route of the sentence with an inward sigh. Or maybe just leaving it for now would be better.

There was a sorry excuse of a pause. "Is that so? Even if your friend is endangered?" Ayanami tested.

"…Yes." The blond hid the frown in his voice. Why did it feel like he just signed a contract with the devil? It's true that Ayanami was his lover and probably the only person in the world who loved him obsessively but this feeling wasn't exactly what the blond was expecting to welcome. Something indeed must have happened in Ayanami's past which is the reason he is so extreme…but then again he's only like that with me…so perhaps a past lover trauma…?' That didn't appear to make sense to the younger since it was already hard to imagine Ayanami with anyone— be it girl or guy. Mikage swore to find the truth of Ayanami's past as soon as this current issue with Teito was resolved.

Ayanami leaned in and kissed the blond's cheek right before licking and sucking on it. 'Ayanami-San still needs to work on his make up strategies.' Mikage teased mentally. "I love you." The words were like an elixir when they came out of the handsome silverette's mouth but as usual they had a tone that expected an answer in return. Mikage always wondered if the reason the elder spoke them in the first place was to hear him say it and free the chief of any doubt—more than confessing his own love.

"...yes, I love you too." Mikage quietly replied. "Um, Ayanami-san?"

"Yes?" The elder shifted his position from the chair to besides the blond on the edge of the bed.

"I won't run away so can you please remove these?" The teen requested raising his cuffed wrist. Ayanami appeared hesitant at first for various unknown reasons but then eventually reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. "I promised, remember." Mikage reminded as the chief unlocked the cuffs so that the blond was finally able to feel his wrist again. "Thank you." The younger added, all in an attempt to soften the mood. At times he felt as if most of the time he was simply trying to appease a spoiled child. Ayanami took the wrist from the other's hand and kissed it before laying the teen back on the bed and slowly climbing on top.

'Does he want to do it?!' Mikage's body panicked for a brief second. However, the elder only leaped over him and lay himself down as well, pulling the blond very close and wrapped his arms around the thin waist as he buried his face into the smaller chest. Mikage was caught off guard for a moment as usually it was the other way around or from behind sometimes. The teen somewhat embraced him back as wavy silver strands of hair tickled his chin.

"Ayanami-san is it really okay to skip work?" The younger brought up the courage to ask. Something told him it was going to take a while before the two of them could act like equals. Perhaps the age gap had something to do with this? Or the completely different worlds they lived in where Ayanami was supposedly a prince while he was from a family of butlers living in their master's mansion. Either way, it was up to him to settle the demon inside the elder man.

"…they'll call if they need anything." Ayanami simply replied. The teen inevitably chuckled.

"What are they going to think if they found out the flawless hard working Ayanami-sama is taking a day off on a sheer whim?"

"And whose fault will that be? If I knew love would make one so crippled, I would have avoided it in the first place. Therefore take responsibility." The chief answered with an unhateful frown. The teen let out a short laugh again. 'You can't avoid your true self.' The blond felt like saying.

"Yes sir." He replied instead with a smile. That was when the chief's phone played a simple ringtone indicating it was from work. Ayanami groaned on the other's skin and unwillingly detached himself to attend it. When he realized it was the chairman, he stood up to take the call outside in the hall before coming back in after barely a minute.

"I have to step out. Looks like we still have an unfinished meeting from that time." Ayanami told. 'That time?' Mikage pondered until he realized he was referring to the time the blond eavesdropped.

"Ah, okay." The teen nodded, sitting up on the bed now. The silverette kissed the younger on lips before heading out.

"Stay here and wait for me, alright?" The chief didn't mean it in an intimidating way.

"Mn." The blond nodded once more before watching him leave. It's not like he had any place to go anyhow.
