Chapter 5: The Cape of Storms
———————
So where do I sail?
A ship losing control
My cries swallowed up, lost in the raging sea
Sho awoke to darkness. Pure, black, darkness. Blinking sleep from his eyes, he looked around slowly. Either he had slept for a very short time, a very long time, or the world had ended. Sho hoped it wasn't the last one.
"Kei?" he called quietly, pushing the bed sheets aside. He rose quickly, making his head spin. Grasping at a nearby wall, he called again. "Kei?"
Groping forward tentatively, Sho found the door and pulled it open, peering forward into only more darkness. He reached for a light-switch, which he found, and flipped it on. Light rushed forward, causing a sharp intake of breath to come from the tall Japanese man. Sho squeezed his eyelids shut, blocking the offending light, and slowly opened his eyes as he became more comfortable.
And there was Kei, curled up on the couch, looking rather uncomfortable.
Despite Kei's odd position as he lay there, Sho couldn't help but smile as he watched the sleeping vampire. Kei's shoulders rose up and down gently with each soft breath and his soft lips were parted slightly. Sho felt as if he could just stand there and watch Kei forever. After the incident the night before, a peaceful sight was welcomed.
So where has love gone?
Will I ever reach it?
The Cape of Storms echoes the pain I feel inside
Sho sighed and glanced around the room, craving a nicotine fix, and sighed at finding nothing. As he reached up to scratch a nagging itch at his neck, he noticed he was still fully clothed. He contemplated for a moment. What now? He glanced at Kei, and then around the room once again. He hadn't the heart to wake Kei, so he slipped on a jacket and silently left the apartment.
You'll never notice
The color of sin
Just as the storm clouds close in
It's dark
———————
It wasn't long until Sho found himself standing in front of Shinji's shop. He didn't see his elder brother around, but figured he was up on the roof. He walked around idly, looking at the koi swimming around in tanks before he got bored and wandering up the stairs.
He could tell Shinji was around by the sickening smell of marijuana, alcohol, and smoke, all mixed together in a nauseating fusion of scents. Sho cringed and followed the wafting smell until he found Shinji in his normal position: lounged in shabby lawn furniture, bong firmly in hand. A few burnt-out cigarettes lay in an ashtray in front of him.
Sho walked up to Shinji and snatched the bong right out of his brother's hands. "What the hell do you think you're doing? God, it's not even noon!"
Here in the shadows
I am pursued
Until the ends of the earth
Embraced
Shinji looked drunkenly up at Sho and scowled. "I'll do whatever the hell I want." He held out a shaky hand and tried to take his possession back from Sho with groping fingers, but Sho pulled back, resisting the urge to throw the instrument down into the streets. Instead, he simply glared.
...And Shinji glared back. "Fine, fine." The older man got up slowly and turned, walking in the opposite direction with a prominent limp. "What do you want? You were just here yesterday."
"Cigarettes."
Shinji stared at his little brother and scoffed. "You came all the way here for a pack of cigarettes? You're a bad liar, Sho." Shinji limped over to a bottle of beer and took a swig. He held out the bottle to Sho, but Sho simply shook his head.
The ghost ship wanders far
For there is no guiding star
And this treasure has no meaning anymore
"Kei and I had a... fight. I just needed to get away."
Shinji's eyes narrowed slightly and Sho sighed. "I know you don't like him..."
"He's a monster!" Shinji spat before pausing to chug down the rest of the beer. "And you talk about him as if you two are lovers."
Sho's face colored slightly and he looked in the opposite direction. Behind him, Shinji gaped. "You... you are! Aren't you?!"
"Shinji..."
A disbelieving laugh escaped Shinji's lips. "Women were always flocking to that pretty face of yours, but I never thought you'd draw in a man!"
So where has love gone?
Will I ever reach it?
The Cape of Storms echoes the pain I feel inside
"Shut up! At least I found someone who makes me happy!"
"Someone who makes you happy? You call fights happy?"
For a moment, Sho didn't reply. He simply stared down at the street below. "Forget it," he said, rising and walking towards the stairs. He paused only to grab a half-empty pack of cigarettes from the cheap furniture surrounding him. "I don't even know why I came here."
Shinji watched his brother's back slowly descend down the stairs and out of his sight. "He'll kill you!" he shouted after Sho. "He'll kill you before you find happiness!"
Below him, Sho ran. He ran far away from the doubting words of his brother, away from the stench of drugs and smoke, away from his own doubts, and back to Kei.
You know completely
The taste of sin
Melting sweet in your mouth
Like chocolate
———————
The trip down the streets and back to his apartment barely registered in Sho's mind. Before he knew it, he was turning the doorknob and stepping into the familiar comfort of his home. He absently glanced over to the couch and noticed that Kei was no longer vacating it. When he noticed the sound of running water, he simply figured that Kei was taking a shower. Flopping down on the couch, he waited in silence for the sound of flowing water to cease, listening to each drop pound against the shower's occupant. Finally, after five agonizing minutes, the water flow stopped. A few seconds later, Kei stepped into the room. His black pants hung around his waist, open and almost completely exposing him. His body was still slick with water, and a towel was draped around his neck, keeping offending water on his hair from dripping further down his back.
A moment of pleasure
You are fulfilled
But every dream has its time
To die
Sho's eyes widened slightly, and Kei walked slowly towards him with a frighteningly apathetic look upon his face. Sho stood at Kei came closer, taking in Kei's nearly naked flesh. Then, he drew Kei's wet form into a tight embrace.
"I'm so sorry, Kei..." Sho whispered, burying his face into the vampire's damp hair. "I was wrong... I'm sorry."
Kei slowly rose his arms and coiled them around Sho's back. "I... I know. And I'm sorry, too—"
The ghost ship wanders far
For there is no guiding star
And this treasure has no meaning anymore
As he had done so many times before, Sho cut Kei off by capturing the vampire's lips within his. It was a wonderfully familiar taste. Sho mouth moved slowly in motion, and Kei's lips readily returned the action. Sho didn't object when Kei stealthily slid his tongue into Sho's mouth, battling against the taller man's tongue stubbornly. Sho's hand slid down Kei's waist and down the side of his pants, cradling Kei's hip within his palm. The vampire moaned softly into his captor's mouth and moved his hand from Sho's back to his chest, tugging gently at the man's shirt. He wanted it off immediately. Sho obliged, breaking contact only to pull his tight shirt over his head before returning to Kei's lips. He moved closer, their bodies seeming to melt together. Kei vaguely noticed Sho's all-too-obvious hardness pressing against his thigh.
Will this be my fate?
Breathing deeply through his nose, Kei skillfully worked his lips in smooth motions with Sho's own. After a while, Kei detached himself from Sho's mouth and brought his hands to the man's chest, his mouth moving to the same smooth skin. The vampire teased Sho's skin gently with his tongue. Above his head, he heard Sho moan accordingly. As his tongue enclosed one of Sho's nipples, licking and sucking until it pebbled, Sho glanced longingly towards their bedroom door.
"Kei..." he gasped, tugging gently on the smaller man's hair. "Kei."
Lifting his head up to look at Sho's face, Kei licked his upper lip slowly; his lips curled into a devilish smile. Kei new exactly what Sho was hinting at. When he lifted his hand and placed it over Sho's erection, Sho moaned slightly, and Kei's grin widened. In response, Sho lunged downward, encasing Kei's lips once again. They clumsily stumbled towards the bedroom, clothes being shed the entire way . . .
So where has love gone?
Will I ever reach it?
The Cape of Storms echoes the pain I feel inside
