When finally, Yumas head cleared up a bit again, he noticed that Astral was slumped against him, and that he was still inside his partner.

With a startled jolt, he quickly pulled out of him before his glory could fall entirely and their sudden separation seemed to rouse Astral somewhat, from whatever he'd just been in.

As the blue-skinned alien blinked sleepily at him, Yuma kissed his cheek tenderly, then asked "Astral… you have to explain, please. What just happened?".

Astral moved his head then, as if only now realizing where they were and how he was exposed and quicker than Yuma had thought possible, his lover was away from his groin and grabbing some toilet-paper to wipe himself down with.

"Probably a good idea" Yuma thought to himself, or at least he thought so until Astrals apparent answer came to him across their link "I've never felt so… unclean" the alien stated, making Yuma blush and lower his head shamefully, as though he wasn't the one that had just been all but raped.

Shyly, he too grabbed a bit of paper to clean off the worst sticky secrete and… other liquids, from his genitals, before pulling up his boxers and buttoning his uniform pants once more, rising to attempt to make himself look less unruly.

As he did though, arms were thrown around his waist and Astral pulled him in close, placing a hand on his hair and hiding his face at the others neck.

"Yuma… I am so sorry! Can you ever forgive me?! Are you injured? Did I harm you?" the alien asked, voice marked with grief and regret.

Yuma, taken back by the others sudden breakdown, immediately felt his heart ache and wrapped his arms around his beloved to try and comfort him.

"What?" the young man asked "no Astral! You didn't! Not in the least bit! Don't beat yourself up like this".

"How can you say that?" Astral whispered, voice breaking slightly. "I assaulted you. I forced myself on you! I… I changed…".

The last words were spoken with such self-loathing, that Yuma felt himself anger at the tone. "You're nothing like him at all! No matter WHAT you do, you will NEVER be like him!" he said, sensing where Astrals thoughts had strayed to.

"How can you be so certain?" Astral whispered in return, shivering in Yumas arms, but silently accepting his partners anger, feeling he deserved every bit of it.

"Because I am, okay?! Just deal with it!" Yuma replied and tightened his hold around the other, as though he was worried he'd vanish right before his eyes. "Yu…ma" the alien breathed and then he kissed his lovers shoulder reverently.

"What can I do to make up for this?" he whispered. "Nothing TO make up for, you blue idiot" Yuma responded quietly and continued "and in case you didn't notice, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit as well".

Astral whimpered slightly against him, and Yuma placed a hand under his chin, forcing him to lift his head and look at him. Tears were rolling down the aliens' cheeks and Yuma groaned quietly at the sight.

"Astral, please" he said, wiping them away with his thumb "don't cry. You reacted purely by instinct, in a situation where you had already endured the suffering of your time for too long.

I noticed you snap towards the end of the class, I could see that you needed me desperately, but I pretended not to, because I was afraid the transfer might be too soon after the last.

But when you took me the way you just did, I knew I didn't care if it might hurt or not. I just knew that I was losing you, and I needed you to come back to me as desperately as I need air to breathe. And then when you joined us and started the transfer…

There was no pain at all. Only pleasure, arousal, desire. In fact, I only knew that you were transferring your energy to me, because you were practically glowing, as you tend to, when it builds up too much in you.

Of course, I also noticed that I seemed to have more… stamina, than usual in these kind of situations" he blushed fiercely as he said that, but continued anyways "but there was no pain, unlike the last couple of times. None at all".

When he silenced, he kissed Astral gently, but the alien didn't leave it at that. Instead, he forced his lips apart again and let their tongues play once more, before pushing himself away from him with wide eyes.

"I… I'm sorry" he repeated, and though Yuma clearly sensed fear coming to him from the other across their bond, he just send him a wide smile.

"No worries! I'd be more than willing to submit to you again another time! Though, I would prefer for it to be at home, not here" he said and Astral, dumbfounded, just stood before him, uniform a complete mess and pants still on the floor, looking confused.

Yuma sighed softly, then walked over to him and took his hand. Astral didn't object, but his large eyes locked on Yumas as the young man leaned in close to him and said "I can sense that we need to talk more about this, and I want to do that, but let's just get away from here first, okay? We're gonna be late for the bus".

Astral swallowed, moistened his lips and then, finally, spoke again. "I do need to talk about this, but you are right. I… I will follow you" he replied, though he didn't let go of Yumas hand.

"No way" Yuma said tenderly at his words "you won't be following me. You'll be walking with me".

And with that, he kissed his partner, helped him get back into his boxers and pants again, and unlocked the stall door, pulling him with him out of the bathrooms and towards the bus-stop, never once letting go of him as they moved. Schoolgrounds were emptied of students anyways, so no one saw them, as they crossed them hand in hand…

Haru welcomed them home as they arrived and asked them about their day. How had Astral found school and how had the others reacted to him?

Yuma looked at Astral, allowing the alien to tell the story himself, in however much detail HE wished it. Astral said that he had felt somewhat crowded, by all the eyes constantly on him and the many questions, but that he'd been happy to meet Yumas friends properly for the first time.

Nothing much else was said on the matter, and Haru seemed satisfied as well, so soon Astral and Yuma were once more back in the attic, where Yuma dropped his schoolbag off near the hatch and discarded his uniform jacket over the table, before tossing himself in the hammock, inviting Astral to join him with open arms.

Astral hesitated for a bit, removing every part of the clothing he'd adorned in the morning, before he slowly hovered over to Yuma and lay down beside him, placing an arm across his chest and resting his head on his lovers' shoulder.

"Yuma" he said, without looking at him "it's time we talk now". Yuma nodded, an arm around Astrals back and his other hand caressing his partners arm, that lay over his stomach.

"Why are you so willing to forgive me, even when I treat you like this and cause you only pain?" was the first question the blue skinned alien asked. They weren't looking at each-other, just enjoying the closeness.

"First of all, you do NOT only cause me pain. As I said, that last part of the day was really pleasurable for me" Yuma started answering, and quickly moved on before Astral could comment on his words "and second, because I love you more than life itself.

Without you, I would see no light, only darkness. That is what you do for me, simply by being near me. I've never loved anyone that deeply, before…".

He silenced and Astral too were quiet for a few moments, as he thought. Then he said "I love you equally as much" which made Yumas heart skip a beat with excitement.

Of course, they had admitted their love for one another many times over, but this moment just felt really special, for some reason Yuma did not fully comprehend.

After a bit, Yuma broke the silence, saying "anything else you'd like to ask?" to which Astral nodded against his chest, before answering.

"Yes… What you said in the bathroom… Was there really no pain doing the transfer this time around?".

Yuma clearly felt that this question was perhaps the most important one for his lover to have answered, and so he replied with full honesty.

"Yes, none at all, Not even a bit. I only felt pleasure. The energy transfer actually felt really good, trust me Astral" he said and Astral sighed quietly.

"I want to Yuma, I really do want to trust you. But it's just so hard… What I did to you… Even with how much you love me, how can you forgive it so easily?

I became just like him! I honestly frightened myself, but I just couldn't stop! I wanted you SO badly! I HAD to have you! ALL of you…" he said in a faint voice.

Yuma smiled. "I kind of got that" he replied, but he knew Astral was truly troubled by his own actions, so he wanted to calm his worries.

Entwining their legs in the hammock, he said gently "you didn't rape me Astral. I wanted you just as much. Granted, we have never been rough like today before, but the truth is… I've actually wanted to try it for a while now. Having you dominate me.

I'm always the one in charge, the one on top, controlling the flow of things, but to have you do it for once… I really liked it.

If you'd be up for it, I… would like to do it again, sometime? But more controlled perhaps, so that you are fully conscious of what is going on. I'll admit, having you ride me like that… Whew, that was HOT!

But you did seem a little distant… I assume it's because you were so close to losing yourself entirely in the abnormally large amounts of energy that was in your system… That IS why you lost control and just… claimed me, isn't it? Your time…".

Astral nodded. "Yes, I assume so… But bear in mind Yuma, that this is also the first time going through it, for ME, so I'm not certain… However, I have never experienced such… lust, before.

Not for you, or anyone. And the violence I used when forcing myself on you… That I was even capable of that… It just reminded me so much about 96" he responded, his voice barely audible at the last words, as he shivered slightly in Yumas grasp.

"I already told you, you're nothing like him! Not ever!" Yuma replied, then continued "you didn't hurt me, not physically and not in any other way either. When 96 grabbed me, he nearly killed me". Astral shivered again, mumbling "I know" beneath his breath as he did.

After a moment though, he took a deep inhale of air, as if gathering courage, and then he spoke.

"So… me dominating… you liked that? And, transferring energy to you in this manner was completely painless… You would not be opposed to doing it again, some other time?". Yuma grinned. "You bet!" he replied "I'd actually prefer it if every large transfer could be done in that way, though of course, that isn't possible, with school and stuff".

"Sadly no, it isn't" Astral replied halfway as if it was to himself alone, making Yuma smirk. "Oh, so you wouldn't mind it happening again either I can hear?" he said teasingly, making Astral blush.

"I… well, no. But I…" the alien started, but then he just sighed softly, looking thoughtful as if searching for the right words. "I am not opposed to using this method of transference again, whenever we can, but it has to be more controlled. I cannot lose myself like I did earlier, a second time.

And that means, the transfers have to be scheduled from now on. If we wait, like doing afternoon classes today, and I am again in such a pressured situation, I will apparently snap.

I had no idea what I was doing until the transfer had been completed. We can't let that happen again" he then said, now for the first time moving until he could look at Yuma, though he didn't pull away from him.

"Well, what do you propose we do tomorrow then? And the day after? I can't stay away from school again so soon, I already missed an entire day and a half after all" Yuma replied, looking concerned. "I know" Astral commented, then the room fell silent for a few minutes as both thought.

"I could make it a constant transfer" Astral then hesitantly suggested "with a larger scale transfer doing the lunchbreak, perhaps?". "By larger scale, do you mean?" Yuma questioned and again Astral blushed. "I would… like that, yes" he then responded, "if you'd be… okay, with it too?".

Now Yuma was the one blushing fiercely, as he spoke. "Well, as I said, I'm not too crazy about doing… that particular thing, at school, but if it will help both you and me, then I guess… I could go along with it.

It's just for a couple of days after all, then we go on weekend and next week your time should, theoretically, have passed right?" he asked and Astral nodded. "Yes, theoretically, it should be so" he replied, and Yuma nodded once more.

"Alright then… We'll just… go with the flow then!" he said, smiling widely and then kissing Astrals forehead, though Astral quickly moved so it became a tender kiss to the lips instead…
