Chapter Two

Kei and I sat at a late-night café. We were waiting for Toshi to come with our pay and Kei was trying to make our bond of trust stronger (or something stupid) by throwing cigarettes at my open fingers. It was amusing and I was able to spend a lot of…"bonding time" with Kei. I hear Toshi's scooter approaching and put down my waiting fingers…and then Kei hit me in the face with a cigarette. I glared at him, though I didn't mean it at all. "Nice one, Kei. Right at my fingers…" I mocked. He merely shrugged. Toshi then walked up, taking off his helmet.

"Not as much as I thought," he said, slamming down a roll of money on the table.

"You checked all the bodies?" I asked, picking up Kei's and my share of the money, realizing how little it was, throwing down my cigarette in disgust.

"Of course! I didn't waste time with toy cars…" He replied, stashing his share in his sock.

"Very fishy," I said, throwing it to Kei.

"Get lost." Toshi shot at me.

"Very suspicious…" Kei said, setting the money down on the table. He flashed me a playful smile, making me blush slightly.

"See? I'm not the only one." I replied.

"Piss off." He retorted. "I'll make it up to you. I've got a big project lined up." He slammed his hand down on the table.

"You're all talk." I said, walking over to a different table and sitting down. "And you didn't put enough drugs in the pizza. The guards were still awake!"

"We all make mistakes." He said, standing up. I shook slightly with rage. I held up two of my fingers in a sort of peace sign.

"Kei—cigarette." I said simply, glaring at Toshi. Kei threw one at me from out of the box with ease. Toshi watched it fly across the small café as it…hit me in the face. I closed my eyes as it hit me, my nose twitching slightly.

"What are you doing?" Toshi asked me.

"It should work…" I said, staring at my fingers.

"Trust me, Sho." Kei said, leaning forward.

"I do!"

"What are you two doing!" Toshi asked again, looking from me to Kei and back. We continued to talk to each other as Toshi put his helmet back on, muttering, "I'm going back to work." I suddenly turned and watched him walk back to his scooter.

"Hey! Watch!" I said, holing up my fingers, but still looking at him. "I'll get it!" I paused for a moment. "Toshi—take care." I did our usual goodbye wave…if you want to call it a cult sign or something, go ahead…Anyway—Toshi merely laughed and did the same, riding off on his scooter. I smiled as he left and looked at my fingers to find that I had caught a cigarette Kei had thrown to me. I grinned, leaning backwards and saying, "Pretty cool, huh?" Kei laughed, lighting up a cigarette for himself.

When we went home that night/morning (whatever you'd like to refer to it as), Kei laid down on the couch and fell asleep immediately. I, however, took the money Toshi had given us and pulled out our safe. And by safe, I mean tin cookie container. I was too lazy to go and buy a fireproof safe, and the tin had a lot of memories in it. I counted what we had slowly, making sure I counted correctly. I closed up the tin can, smiling because we had more than I thought we did. I looked over at the couch with a saddened face to find Kei thrashing around. It had to be that same nightmare with Luka. I slowly walked over and sat down in the chair next to the couch. His eyes suddenly flew open as he breathed heavily, but they closed slightly.

I was about to wake him up when he started to mutter a song. "Yuugure ni kimi to mita orenji no taiyou nakisou na kao o shite eien no sayonara." It was a beautiful song, no matter how worn out his voice was. He awoke and sat up, rubbing his eyes. After a few moments, I spoke up.

"What's up?" I asked. He shook his head slightly. "Are you okay?" He merely sighed. "That same dream with Luka?"

"I'm fine." He said suddenly, sitting on the edge of the couch. He looked at me. "Sho—" I stared at him. "You should get out more."

"It's fine!" I replied quickly. "I don't want a tan."

Kei suddenly put his shoes on and walked over to get a drink of water, quickly saying, "Let's spend time apart." I stared at him, awestruck. I never wanted him out of my sight, he was that precious to me…but time apart!

"What do you mean!" I suddenly blurted out. Yet again, my stubborn teenager side kicked in.

"Don't adjust your life to me, Sho." He said, pouring himself some water and picking up the glass. "Enjoy yourself while you can…" Kei took a long drink. I almost felt like pushing the glass out of his hands and slapping him. He was turning into a stubborn little vampire. Wasn't it completely obvious that I cared for him deeply? "…Before you get old. Remember, I won't age—"

"Not this shit again!" I snapped, cutting off his sentence. He told me this every other day and it sickened me. Sure, I knew I wasn't going to live forever like him, but couldn't he at least try to be friendlier to the person who's in love with him? "Mallepa is full of immigrants—different races all coming and going, minding their own business." I said forcefully. Kei stared at me. "And that's how we get along!"

Kei sighed. "I've fed on many evil men…" He said softly, lifting up his glass of water and looking at it. "I'm becoming like them. I might turn on you." I turned and glared evilly at him.

"As if you'd dare. Jerk." I said, my voice squeaking. He merely smiled at me with one of those mysterious half-smiles that gives me thoughts in my head…but that's not the point.

The next day I wandered over to Shinji's fish store, dodging a few of Chan's cronies. They were always after me, so I was used to it by now. I arrived at Shinji's shop safely, cutting through a few stores. I glanced at the goldfish advertised in the front window. "Hi!" I said, bending around the corner. She looked up at me. I stared at her for a moment, trying to figure out what she was doing. "What are you doing?" I walked over curiously. "What's with him?"

"Poor fish. He's ill. He'll die." She responded lamely.

"Then chuck him!" I said, picking up the net slightly. "It might be contagious." I looked at her and she stood up angrily.

"Shinji's on the roof." She said, pointing outside. I stood up as well, glaring at her. I really didn't like her that much, but she helped Shinji at his shop, so what could I do?

"No need to get upset," I replied, walking out to the roof. I could hear the radio playing softly and I began to hum along. "Nii-chan," I called softly as I walked up behind him. He turned and looked at me, blowing smoke towards me.

"Oh…" He said, almost disappointedly. He kept smoking. Agitated, I took off my sunglasses. I sighed as he stopped and stood up. "What's up?" he asked me with a drunken smile.

"What the hell are you doing!" I asked him angrily.

"Nothing much…" he replied as he walked away. I stared after him, dumbstruck. He was definitely ignoring me and I was getting mad.

I walked back into his shop to find Shinji talking drunkenly to two Cantonese men who had come for their daily bribe. I stopped in the doorway and watched for a moment, a fistful of money prepared just in case.

"Where's the cash? Today's takings…" the blonde-haired one asked.

"Umm…it's been kinda slow…" Shinji said with a laugh in his voice, staggering away from the two men.

"How dare you!" the blonde-haired one shouted, pushing Shinji to the floor. The two men both walked forward, but I was already there, stopping them, holding out a handful of money.

"What's this?" the brown-haired one asked me, grabbing my wrist.

"Take it and fuck off!" I retorted. The blonde-haired one grabbed the money, pushing me out of the way and adding: "Shut your damn mouth!" They both passed by me as I glared evilly at them as they left, kicking Shinji on their way out. "Nii-chan—" I said, holding out a hand for him to grab a hold of, but he pushed it out of the way.

"Let go!" he said, standing up. "Don't pity me…" He said as he staggered away and back up to the roof. I watched him go and once he was gone, I kicked the door angrily, stalking away quickly.

Kei disappeared that night. I wasn't worried because this time he actually told me where he was going. "Park." He said to me as he opened the door.

"Want me to go with—"

"I'm fine going alone, Sho-kun," he replied, closing the door. I sank to my knees.

"S-Sho-kun…" I whispered. He had always simply called me 'Sho-san' or 'Sho'. My mind was in a buzz. What did he mean by it? I knew it wasn't that big of a deal, but did he like me like I liked him? Well, I knew he couldn't love me…

He came back that night a little while later to find me kneeling in the same exact spot. "Sho—are you alright?"

"I'm fine…" I muttered, standing up. "I just lost my balance…" Kei laughed.

"Sure…" He said walking over and putting a hand on my shoulder. "Nice lie…"

"What? It's true!" I retorted.

"Sho-kun, I know you." Kei said, touching my cheek, a small smile on his lips. "Are you alright?"

"I told you, I'm fine," I muttered. Chills ran up and down my spine just because his hand was on my cheek. "I—I just was thinking…" Kei moved a bit closer to me. "Like—deep thoughts—"

"You? Deep thoughts!" Kei interrupted, laughing slightly. I merely nodded, his laugher dying down.

"A-and I ran into the table and hurt my leg…but it's fine now…" I finished.

"That still doesn't sound exactly right," Kei said, brushing a few of my braids behind my shoulders. "But I'll believe you. "I smiled gratefully. "Could I ask a favor?"

"S-sure…" I said.

"Can I hug you?" He asked. I stared at him, wide-eyed. He blushed slightly. "I really need a hug." I laughed lightly, realizing that the last time he had (most likely) hugged someone was probably seven years ago when I was probably twelve (this isn't counting the people he feeds off of).

"Sure…" I said. Before he could walk forward, I was already to him and wrapping my arms around him tightly. Kei merely laughed and wrapped his arms around my neck; I nearly melted "And why do you need a hug?" I asked him, my fingers tracing slightly over a few of his ribs. I could feel each one, he was that skinny.

"I just feel lonely…" He breathed into my neck, resting his head on my shoulder.

"You know that I'm always here when you need…a hug…or something…" I managed to say.

He just laughed and replied, "You may be almost twenty, but you're still that little nine-year-old Sho-kun…"

"Can I ask you something?" I said as he pulled away. I let my arms drop to my side, disappointed that our hug hadn't gone farther. "Why are you suddenly calling me Sho-kun?"

"We've known each other for ten years. I figured I could start to call you Sho-kun." Kei said, running a hand through his fluffy hair. "It's not like I'm calling you Sho-chan or anything." I forced a laugh, trying to hide the fact that I wanted him to call me Sho-chan. "Unless you want me to…" Holy crap, was he reading my mind?

"I-it doesn't matter to me," I muttered, lowering my head. "I really don't care…"

"Is that a yes?"

I took a deep breath, hoping my voice wouldn't fail me. "Y-yes." I replied, looking at him. He was smiling.

"You're blushing, Sho-chan…" Kei said. I shrugged, trying to smile, but it was useless. "Sorry. I won't call you Sho-chan anymore…"

"No! I'm fine with Sho-chan—" I managed a smile finally. "—really. It doesn't bother me." Well, it did bother me, but not in the bad way…it kind of made me remember all of my dreams with me and him in them doing things—but that's not the point.

"Good, because I'm never not calling you Sho-chan ever again."

"God, stupid not-double negatives…" I muttered.

"I love your childishness, Sho-chan," Kei said, grinning at me as he walked away. I only heard "I love you…Sho-chan", so I stood there stunned for a few moments.

"Uh…Toshi—he's set up a job for us and I think we were supposed to leave a little while ago…"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You and calling me Sho-chan…"

"Oh yeah…" he laughed slightly. "Y'know, you can call me Kei-chan…"

"I will—" I said, grabbing my guns from the table and throwing one to him, "—when I feel the time is right…"


I stuck my leg around the corner first, and then my head. There was an older teen slumped over against a pole. I walked over, poking his head with my gun. Kei followed behind me. "Toshi did okay after all!" I said, squeaking. Kei looked at me. "What?" The door behind us opened. I twirled around and readied my gun, but the man that had opened the door fell over, dead. Kei and I looked at each other. "What's going on?" I asked.

Kei raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "I have no idea." I heard gunshots from a distance.

"Damn. He's blown our cover, that idiot!" I snarled, stamping my foot and striding up the stairs. Kei and I emerged into a room with a man shooting up a different flight of stairs. I readied my gun. He whipped around and I kicked his gun out of his hand, but he pulled out another one. He had one pointed at me and one pointed at Kei. Kei and I each had a gun pointed at the man. Without saying a word to each other, all three of us backed away cautiously until we made a perfect triangle. I glanced at Kei quickly as a bunch of people surrounded us. All three of us moved our guns slightly, shooting over one another's shoulders to kill the "bad guys".

As soon as the first wave was defeated, all of us reloaded our guns and stalked forward, pointing them at each other's throats. He and I stared at each other with confused looks. "Who are you!" I blurted out in Cantonese.

"That's my question, too," he replied in the same language.

"It's none of your business!" I retorted. "What's going on?"

"There's more than I thought…" the man said, looking around. Kei and I glanced at each other.

"A lot more," I said, realizing how surrounded we really were.

"Shall we join forces?" He asked us.

"Not much choice…" I replied quickly as we all spun around, our backs to each other and began to shoot rapidly, hoping that we wouldn't get killed. Kei and I took off in one direction, completely forgetting about the other man's safety for the moment. We both cautiously walked down a deserted hallway, hearing the faint sound of guns shooting from the other room. "K-Kei—which way should we go?" I asked him as the hallway went in two different directions.

"You go that way—" He pointed with his gun. "I'll go this way and I'll meet you wherever your at."

"As long as I'm not dead…" I said as I began to walk down the hallway. I was suddenly yanked backwards—Kei had grabbed my arm and pulled me back towards him.

"You won't die." He breathed, touching a hand to my cheek. "You're better than these guys. You haven't died yet, have you?"

"N-no," I said, swallowing hard because I had just realized how dangerously close we were…and how much I desired to make out with him at that precise moment… "But you've been with me all the other times!"

"True, but I'll be there soon enough," Kei said. I leaned downward slightly as he leaned upwards, our faces even. "Don't worry…" With that, he took off to the right, narrowly avoiding a trash can. I stayed where I was at, realizing that Kei may actually like me. No. I told myself. He doesn't. He's just trying to prepare you for war…er…battle. Flipping my braids behind my shoulders, I ran into the next room.

I wish that Kei could have been there. I did some fantastic stuff like hanging upside down from a guy's neck while he twirled around, trying to hit me. As I killed the remaining people in the room, I did a sort of back flip, landing on my feet perfectly. Dropping my guns, I held up my fists, ready for hand-on-hand combat. I did a cool flip in midair, only to fall on my ankle. I crashed to the floor in pain, yelling, "OWWWW!" I rubbed it vigorously and stood up, yelling, "HII-YAAA!" But the guy had already collapsed. "Oh…" I said softly, running down another hallway.

I ended up finding Kei smoking leisurely while leaning against a pole. "You weren't there!" I coughed, walking over to him slowly. "I really—" A sword was suddenly swung in front of me.

"Watch it," Kei said softly.

For the next five minutes, the mysterious man with the sword tried to stab me, but I dodged all of his attempts. At one point, he slashed me on the shoulder, but I got over it, wincing in pain rather than crying out. I kicked him in the face, knocking him backwards as I fell to the ground myself. I quickly stood up and collapsed against the pole next to Kei.

"What's wrong! Help me!" I breathed. Kei looked at me, holding out his cigarette between his fingers. I leaned forward quickly and wrapped my lips around the stick, narrowly avoiding Kei's fingers. "Mmm…" I breathed as I took a long drag out of it.

"Here he comes." Kei said simply, letting go of the cigarette. I kept it in my mouth as I began to dodge the psychopathic maniac with the sword. Finally, I ended up kicking him into a cabinet and knocking him out cold. I waited for Kei patiently as he sent a teenager up through the ceiling. "Let's go," he breathed, spitting out his unlit cigarette in disgust that his lighter wouldn't light anymore. I spit mine out as well, jumping in front of Kei as we went down yet another corridor.

The next room held men behind desks and the mysterious man who had become our ally. He was running out of ammo, so I decided to do what was right and help him out by shooting with two, yes two, guns. I could see Toshi behind a desk to my right talking on the phone. I barely heard him say, "Quiet please!" Soon after, I ran out of bullets. I panicked since I was out in the open, staring at the guns.

"Sho!" Kei called from behind me. Trusting in him with all my might, I fell to my knees as I swung the guns to my left, releasing the empty bullet packs. Miraculously, the training with the cigarettes paid off because the full bullet packs went in automatically. "Good job!" Kei called to me in English. I watched as our ally followed the leader out the door. I finished off the rest of the guys quickly, standing up. Toshi came out of his hiding spot and Kei walked up behind me.

"Why the hell were you on the phone?" I spat at him.

"They called!" Toshi replied.

"Sho—shouldn't you go see what our 'friend' is up to?" Kei asked me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Y-yeah…" I said, walking out the door, leaving Kei and Toshi bickering behind. When I finally found the man, a gun was being jabbed into his face. I quickly shot the other guy (the enemy) in the leg and he fell down right away. The other man (the ally (just in case you're confused)) pointed the gun at the enemy.

"Don't—please don't!" the enemy pleaded. The ally ignored and shot him several times, yelling in frustration. He slowly walked over to me, breathing heavily.

"Hey—" I said softly, stopping him. "I-I'm Sho." He smiled at me, his anger forgotten at the moment.

"Son." He replied as we shook hands, both grinning.


Somehow Kei, Toshi, and myself were invited to Son's house to learn more about each other. "And my sister can help patch us up." Son explained as we walked to his house. His apartment was rather small inside, but it had a homey feel to it. When Kei and I sat down on the same couch, I immediately took off my jacket, setting it behind me. I realized that Kei was sitting unusually closer than he would have. Toshi sat on the couch opposite us, making comments towards Son, who was being patched up by his sister.

When Son told me that his sister's name was Yi-Che, I thought nothing of it…because it was just a name. But as she patched up her brother, I realized that she was rather pretty. And I realized that Kei couldn't stop staring at her. She didn't say a word as Son thanked her, she didn't even smile.

As Son walked out to sit down on their patio (or whatever you'd like to call it), he tried to walk, but ended up almost falling. "The slow ones get hit!" Toshi proclaimed.

"He's right, you know," I said as Son merely grimaced and sat down on the edge of the step outside.

"She'll look at you now," Son said, talking to me.

"Me! I'm fine!" I said, not realizing that Kei was even closer. I suddenly felt a stinging pain in my arm as Kei hit me on my cut. "OW!" I hissed, glaring at him. "DON'T!"

"Just let her take a look, Sho!" Kei said softly, grinning.

"You don't want to risk an infection." Son said, patting me on my good shoulder.

"Alright, alright," I muttered, walking over.

"Yi-Che, look after him." Son said as I sat down. She merely nodded. I pulled up my sleeve quickly and looked away. My eyes fell upon Kei, whose eyes were wide and he had paled slightly. He looked away quickly, shaking his head slightly as he grabbed his coat. He stood up and walked towards the doors to Son's porch/rooftop.

"What's wrong?" Son asked him.

"I just need some fresh air…" Kei said. I watched sadly as he turned and looked at me with a mysterious look in his eyes. He glanced at Yi-Che who had been doctoring up my cut. I stared after Kei as he went and sat on the ledge of the apartment rooftop. Why had he left? I was curious to know. Toshi sat down next to me as I flinched in pain. He laughed, so I smacked him.

"Shut up!" I snarled at him. "Get lost!" He merely grinned and went outside to join Son on the edge of the doorways.

"That stings." I said softly to Yi-Che. She merely looked at me, saying nothing. She was rather pretty and I bet she had a great personality if she would have just said something, but I still loved Kei… "Be careful." I stared at her with a soft look in my eyes; her eyes never left the cut on my shoulder. After about thirty seconds of me gaping at her prettiness, she finally looked at me strangely, so I looked away, blushing slightly at how I was acting.

After several more minutes, she patted my shoulder and smiled slightly. "Thank you." I said, standing up. I jumped over Son and Toshi with grace, landing a few feet past them.

"Showoff." Toshi muttered, running ahead to where Kei was at. I followed him with Son close behind. "WHOA! LOOK AT THE MOON!" He exclaimed loudly. "I've never seen it so big!"

"He can't keep quiet, can he?" I asked to no one in particular as I sat down next to Kei. After a few moments of serene silence, Son spoke up.

"When Yi-Che was a kid, she suddenly stopped talking…" He said softly, staring at the moon. I looked at him strangely. So that was why she wasn't talking to me. "Don't you dare fall in love." Son suddenly said. He stared at me, making a gun with two of his fingers and pointing it at me. "Touch her and I'll kill you."

"Huh! Of course I won't!" I said unconvincingly as I turned back to the moon. Toshi and Son laughed, but Kei merely chuckled.

"You fell for it." Son told me.

"I did NOT!" I retorted.

"Are you sure?" Toshi said. I looked at Kei. He merely smiled warmly at me. Captivated, I didn't answer right away.

"Of course!" Toshi and Son laughed at me.

A few minutes later, they went back inside for drinks, leaving me alone with Kei, who was unusually quiet. It was a very uncomfortable atmosphere, so I tried to spark up a conversation.

"Isn't it a beautiful sight, Kei?" I asked, smiling slightly as I stared at the moon. Yes, it was a tacky question, I know. So sue me. But I did get a soft "uh-huh" from Kei. "Have you ever seen it so close?"

"No." Kei replied softly.

"It's really a romantic sight…" I said. Kei didn't respond. I suddenly felt shaking fingers entwine with mine, squeezing my hand gently. "K-Kei……?"

"I love you." Kei whispered softly into my ear. I turned towards him with a shocked look on my face. It pretty much meant: 'You have got to be kidding me…'. Kei was kneeling next to me on the ledge, leaning forward. Our lips were dangerously close.

"Wh-what?" I managed to breathe. Was I dreaming?

"I-I'm in love with you." Kei said, shaking with nervousness. He must be brave…even I wouldn't have said it…

"Really?" I breathed. Kei simply nodded. "Kei…you…I—"

"Shh." Kei said, silencing me. He leaned forward, pressing our lips together gently. He rested one hand on my shoulder, the other tightened its grip on my hand. I was stunned. I never dreamed (well, I dreamed it, but you get what I mean…) that he loved me and it came as a major shock, but I was relieved. I didn't have to worry about scaring Kei away because he loved me.

Kei pulled away slowly, staring at me with his captivating brown eyes. I blinked several times, still dazed. As I looked at him (still amazed,) I realized he had tears in his eyes. "P-please, please don't hate me, Sho." He said quietly, looking rather downcast. I couldn't think of anything to say, so I lunged at him, kissing him with more force that I actually meant. I ended up knocking us backwards, making me land on top of him. I let go of his hand and traced my fingers underneath his shirt up his bare chest. Our tongues met softly, making me melt. It was more breathtaking that I dreamed it would be. I found myself longing for Kei as soon as he pushed me away. I knew that if we would have been at home, it would have gone much farther.

"Sho…" Kei whispered, his hand stroking my cheek. He was smiling broadly and I realized how beautiful he really was.

"I love you too," I blurted out, a smile on my face. "But I've been too shy to tell you. I've never had enough courage…"

"How long?"

"Four years, thirty seven days and…thirty one minutes……I think," I replied. Kei grinned.

"You've been counting…" I nodded.

"Have you?"

"No, but I've loved you since you stupidly—" I frowned, but Kei merely kissed my cheek. "—told me that you weren't afraid of me and I've been in love with you since you stayed and lived with me rather than Toshi or Shinji. No one has ever told me that they weren't afraid of me. I was always distant, homicidal, violent…which scared people away. You even saw me feeding and you weren't afraid."

"To tell you the truth, I was," I said quietly, realizing that I was still laying on top of him. "But I felt compelled to get to know you…" Kei smiled.

"I always thought you were too special to kill. I was always doubtful of our relationship. I kept telling myself that you were just a kid and I would ask myself how could I fall in love with a ten year old kid when I'm so much older than you?" He kissed me slowly and passionately, his hands trailing down my sides. "But then I realized that you would grow up and I could just tell you then—and that's what I did." I then noticed Son and Toshi staring at us.

"We'll talk more later," I said quickly. Kei nodded and pushed me off of him. I fell to the ground, landing on my knees. Kei merely stood up, helping me up quickly.

"What the hell…" Son said as Kei and I walked over to them.

"He was trying to steal my watch—again." Kei lied quickly. "So I tried to push him away, but he held on and fell over on top of me."

"Sho—you're so stupid!" Toshi said, laughing at me drunkenly. I glared at Kei, who was laughing, but he merely winked.

"Four years, thirty seven days and thirty two minutes," I whispered to him softly. He blushed slightly and punched him playfully on the shoulder.

"I'll steal it sooner or later, Kei, you know that," I said quickly as we all laughed.

After about an hour of sitting around, I noticed Kei beginning to doze off. Actually, it was only when his head hit my shoulder softly. I jumped slightly in surprise. Toshi stared at Kei incredulously. "Well, I guess I should go home," I said. "My chaperone's falling asleep on me." Son and Toshi laughed and began talking amongst themselves. "Kei," I whispered softly, nudging his head with my nose. "Kei-chan…" I breathed in his ear. His eyes shot open and he sat up.

"Sho-ch—"

"Kei—we should go home. You're falling asleep." I said, cutting off 'chan' on the end of my name. Kei merely nodded, smiling softly as he yawned. How that was possible, I had no idea, but he managed to pull it off. "Come on…" I said, helping him up. "We'll talk with you later, Son."

"Yeah, I'll give you a call tomorrow or something." Son said.

"Alright," I replied, smiling. "See ya, thanks for everything tonight. Toshi—we'll see you tomorrow most likely, right?"

"Yeah…" Toshi said as Kei and I left. When we were out of view of their house, Kei swung over and kissed me.

"Thanks…" he said softly.

"For what?"

"For loving me…" We both smiled, kissing passionately before we continued home.


When the two of us arrived home a little while later, Kei grabbed my arm and dragged me through the kitchen to the leather couch. He threw me down on it, jumping on top of me and pinning my shoulders down.

"Kei-chan…" I breathed.

"Sho-chan…" Kei breathed. I grinned. "How did you ever fall for me? I want to know."

"Hmm…I really have no idea. I guess you would be the 'strong and silent' type women fall for." I replied. "But you're just so loveable, I fell for you and I'm glad I fell for you."

"I…I just don't want to rush into things," Kei said quietly, letting go of my shoulders.

"I want to!" I blurted out, blushing furiously, realizing what I meant. My hands slid down to his waist. "I've practically longed to do it with you…"

"I—I don't want to ruin our relationship, though. We've grown so close lately, I don't want to ruin the bond we've made."

'You're right…although I was looking forward to it…" I said, sighing.

"In that case…" I said as he leaned down and kissed me forcefully. I slipped my tongue into his mouth as his hands fumbled with the buttons of my shirt. He pushed away as soon as he finished unbuttoning my shirt. "We might as well…"

"Mmm—alright." I replied as I sat up, pulling my shirt off the rest of the way and throwing it on the floor. Kei did the same, but his got caught on his rings.

"Damn these rings…" He muttered, trying to get his shirt untangled. I stared at his bare chest. Although he was skinny, he wasn't too skinny—he was perfect. I sighed dreamily as he managed to throw his shirt on the floor finally. He gave me an odd look. "Sighing like a schoolgirl?" Kei asked. "What?"

"You're just—" I leaned forward and licked his lips slowly. "—gorgeous."

"Gorgeous, eh?" Kei said, grinning. He leaned down as I leaned up, our lips meeting forcefully. My arms wrapped around his back as he slowly unzipped my pants, pulling them off slowly and erotically and—

Well, you can guess what happened after that. If you can't, all I can say is (you'rereallystupid) that it was very, very satisfying and I have no regrets whatsoever……
