Seizing the Moment

by ~*Mystikal Essence*~

Chapter Five: Carpe Diem

Ken shivered at Yohji's warm breath in his ear. His heartbeat synchronized to the rapid, pounding music, but it wasn't the music that gave him this incredible adrenaline rush. Yohji was still holding him, and he was pressed up against Yohji's chest. The place seemed to get even more crowded as they were crushed impossibly closer together, surrounded by the swarming mass of feverishly dancing bodies.

Ken couldn't have said anything even if wanted to because a second later Yohji's soft lips had covered his own. Shocked by the sudden move, it took Ken a couple of seconds before registering in his mind what's happening. Yohji's kissing me, Yohji's kissing me.

Yohji's kiss was tender, but firm. Slow and gentle. Ken shyly kissed him back, relishing every second of the surreal moment. Yohji tasted good. Like hazelnut coffee.

Yohji broke the kiss and Ken looked up at him with slight uncertainty. Is he drunk? No, can't be. I can't smell liquor or anything.

Yohji's face was unreadable—no hint of what he was feeling or thinking. He's very good at concealing his emotions, Ken thought with a little annoyance. He himself couldn't hide his feelings to save his life. His face was starting to flush and his eyes revealed everything.

Yohji slowly led him out through the sea of people and into a side door which then led out to a side alley. The crisp, cool autumn night felt refreshing from the stuffy, smoke-filled club. It was quiet all of a sudden and Ken felt a little awkward again. They started walking, neither one saying a word.

"I'm sorry," Yohji said softly after a couple of minutes. He gave Ken a timid look and then looked down on the ground. "I just…you see, I have this principle that I go by. It's to always seize the moment—don't put off things for later what you can do now…and, well…" he paused, glancing at Ken. "That was exactly what I did in there."

Ken didn't know what to do or say. He was utterly confused, but as equally shocked with what was happening. Didn't I come here to break up with him? "Um, what about that girl in the club? You're friend. I just saw you kissing her," he accused, not even trying to hide his irritation.

"Hilde? I wasn't kissing her. She was just thanking me for doing her the favor," he explained. "I was bending down like that over here because as you saw she's almost a foot shorter than me."

"Oh," Ken frowned. Well, that was embarrassing. "Um, Yohji?" It's now or never. I have to tell him.

"Yes, love?" Yohji answered, gazing down at Ken with his beautiful jade eyes. So mysterious, so enthralling. And that soft, sweet mouth. So alluring, so tempting…

"Mph!" Yohji softly grunted as Ken pulled him down for an unplanned, impromptu kiss. This time, Ken took the lead and kissed with all the passion he felt—it was by no means gentle like the first one. Upon seeing, or rather feeling, Ken's ardor, Yohji abandoned his previous pretension of taking it slow and let loose his own bottled-up lust.

Ken was lost in the moment. All thoughts melted away from his mind…what about your plan? this is Yohji here…he's a man…he doesn't know it's you, he thinks you're a girl…It all seemed so far away and insignificant. All he was aware of was Yohji's soft, warm lips caressing his own, Yohji's hands on his waist and back, Yohji slipping his tongue inside his mouth…

After a few minutes of bliss, Ken hesitantly pulled away, panting slightly. He blushed at Yohji's lascivious grin and buried his face in Yohji's chest. Slowly looking up, he smiled.

"Just seizing the moment."

a lil info for y'all…the title "Carpe Diem" is Latin, meaning "Seize the day." Close enough… ~_^
