Summary: When Ryuichi walks into Tatsuha's room, he can't help but think that something smells familiar…

Why: Because I can! Isn't that a good enough reason to do anything?

Disclaimer: Do I own Gravitation? NO, I DON'T! So just leave me alone, and let me sob in my corner alone, okay?

Start Chapter 4

There. He had done it. He had finally kissed Sakuma Ryuichi. Everything was right in the world. Tatsuha could finally go to heaven and not complain.

But when Ryuichi didn't kiss back, the teenager knew he had to stop, and pulled away. He let go of the singer's arms, and took a step back. He was already depressed as it was, but when he saw the blank expression on Ryuichi's face, his heart sunk further. He put his head down, and felt his fists tighten up.

"I'm so sorry," he said in a whisper. With that, he walked out of the door.

Well, he would've gotten a lot farther if it hadn't been for his wet towel he had dropped earlier. Tatsuha didn't even realized what was happening until it was too late. He felt the wet drying device slip out from under him, felt air whizzing past his face, and then landed head first into the hardwood floor of his hallway.

As if not getting kissed back by your idol doesn't hurt, falling onto your hardwood floor sure does. But when Tatsuha heard laughter come out of Ryuichi's mouth, it was icing on the cake. That was it. He should just give up, shave his head, really become a monk, and go live in some temple in the woods. It would be better than hearing his god laugh at him.

Suddenly he felt hands grab his arms and realized that Ryuichi was trying to pull him into a sitting position. He pushed himself up off the floor, and let the singer bring him up all the way. Rubbing his forehead, the teenager blushed as Ryuichi sat in front of him.

"I-I'm s-so sorry Tatsuha-kun," the singer managed through the last of his giggles. "You just looked so funny flying through the air like that."

Tatsuha felt his cheeks heat up in embarrassment, and looked down. "Uh, a-bout t-the k-kiss—"

"You know, you are the first person who has ever asked for permission to kiss me, na no da."

Tatsuha looked up.

"You are also the first person to not wait for my response and just kiss me anyway."

"I'm sorry," said the teenager.

Ryuichi smiled and shook his hands back and forth in the air. "Its okay, Tatsuha-kun. Kumagoro likes it when people do what they want."

'But I want you to like it, not the bunny!'

"I like that too. I like that very much, na no da."

Tatsuha thought his ears were failing him. And then he felt himself being pulled up off the floor, and led into his bedroom. Ryuichi shut the door with his foot, and pushed the teen toward his bed. Sitting down next to him, the singer put his hand on top of Tatsuha's, and smiled when he saw the blush creep its way up to the younger man's face.

It was then that the teenager noticed the shift in the older man's personality. He had gone from the cute, happy guy who carried around a pink bunny, to the sexy, god-like creature that he was on stage.

"Sorry about not kissing you back. I was a little surprised."

Tatsuha gulped as he felt the older man scoot closer so their hips were touching each other's.

"So…would you like to kiss me again? Because I sure want you too."

It only took a moment for the teenager to process the words that the singer had said, but when he did, he felt a grin come to his face.

Ryuichi leaned in a bit, and Tatsuha took care of all the rest. As soon as their lips met, the teenager's eyes fluttered shut, and he reveled in the feeling. He loved how Ryuichi's lips seemed to melt into his as they kissed. After a few more, Tatsuha had to pull away to breathe. He opened his eyes to see his idol was out of as much air as he was.

"Wow…t-that was amazing." Tatsuha closed his eyes again and tilted his head up. "Did anyone ever tell you how awesome you are at kissing?" he asked.

"Did anyone ever tell you how sexy you are?" asked Ryuichi.

Tatsuha grinned, and took hold of the singer's head. They began kissing again, this time with more passion, as they had now become used to each other. Ryuichi's arms slid up Tatsuha's shoulders and made their way to clasp themselves around his neck. Tatsuha kept one hand on Ryuichi's cheek as the other encircled the older man's back. Tatsuha pressed himself closer to the older man and let his tongue touch the singer's lips briefly, asking for entrance. He wasn't sure that it would happen, but Ryuichi opened his mouth and let him in.

It was an amazing feeling. Sure he had French kissed girls like this before, but it just wasn't the same. With the girls he had wanted a quick shag, but with Ryuichi…he wanted everything. And it sure felt like the singer wanted him too by the way he was kissing back.

They broke apart, and Ryuichi was ready for some air after their kissing, but Tatsuha gave him no mercy. As soon as his lips were separated from the singer's, they were on his neck.

"Ahh! T-Tatsuha—"

"Don't talk," the teenager said as he moved from the edge of the bed to straddle the singer's hips. "Just let me do this." He began to attack the older man's neck again, and loved the noises he got out of him. He stayed like that, nipping and making as many marks as he could, just to feel Ryuichi go weak underneath him. When he finally pulled away, Ryuichi's breathing was heavy, and his eyes were closed. Smiling at the fact that he had made the older man pant, and proud of the marks he had left, Tatsuha placed his head on the singer's shoulder and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Y-you aren't a-afraid of going fast," Ryuichi managed to say after a few moments. "And you're really good. How old are you again?"

"Sixteen."

Ryuichi brought a hand to his forehead. "Damn. I've been kissing longer than you've been alive, and I'm still not a good as you."

Tatsuha sat up all the way and looked Ryuichi in the eyes.

"You are an amazing kisser. Now be quiet, and let's keep going."

Ryuichi's eyes danced a bit as his face stayed straight.

"And just how far did you intend to take this Tatsuha?" he asked in a fake serious voice.

Tatsuha grinned.

"As far as you'll let me go."

Ryuichi gave a deep chuckle, and let his fingers move slowly up the younger male's left arm.

"Well, let's go a little further, shall we?"

Tatsuha gave a feral-like grin, and grabbed the sides of Ryuichi's t-shirt. The singer knew what he intended to do and lifted his arms. When the shirt was off, Tatsuha let his fingers brush the skin on Ryuichi's stomach. He laughed as the singer shivered a bit. Letting his hands roam for a moment, he stole a quick kiss and was about to pull his own shirt off, when they heard the door open. They both looked over quickly, and when Tatsuha realized who was standing in the doorway, he felt his face and his stomach drop.

It was Tohma.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the teenager had been both ripped and beaten away from Ryuichi by Tohma, he was then slapped by Mika and got yelled at so much that he became temporally deaf. Noriko had pulled out a hammer and proceeded to beat the younger male repeatedly until he could no longer move, and then kicked him for good measure. When his father finally got a hold of him, he was given the longest lecture on how "straying from the path of Buddha will be your downfall" and that "kissing another male is not allowed." He was then sent to a training camp for monks for three weeks, and not allowed outside of his room except for eating, prayer, and the bathroom. When he finally came home, he was grounded until his father said otherwise.

And where was Ryuichi during all of this? After Tatsuha had been maimed by his band mates, he got the longest lecture on how inappropriate it was that he had been doing these sorts of things with Tatsuha, let alone a teenager, and that he should have known better. The worst part was that he had been ushered out of the Uesugi house very early the next morning, and was not able to see Tatsuha before he left. Crying, he begged Tohma to let him see the teenager as they walked out the door.

"No," was all the president said. With that, they left.

Three Months Later

Tatsuha wasn't sure what he had done, but suddenly, his father told him he was no longer grounded. He wasn't one to complain, and neither where his friends. They were excited when they heard that he was free of his house, and decided that he should come clubbing with them. The teenager happily agreed, as he was bored out of his mind, staying at home with nothing to do except recite prayers.

So when it came time to get ready, he wasn't as excited as he could've been. Putting the finishing touches on his outfit, which consisted of the tightest pair of jeans he had, a black t-shirt with a skull on it, black tennis shoes and silver jewelry, he turned around and picked up his cologne. Sighing as he saw the Mystic Moon bottle, Tatsuha set his bottle down and picked up the other.

"Maybe I should put some of this on me tonight," he said sadly.

"Don't you dare."

Tatsuha froze.

"You'd smell much more sexy with the other stuff, na no da."

He could feel himself become giddy, and turned around with excitement. When he set his eyes upon his singer, Tatsuha died. Ryuichi was wearing black leather pants, the kind he usually only wore on stage. He had paired it with a white muscle tank that was as small as possible, with an open black vest over that. His hair was down and looked as sexy as ever, and when Ryuichi smiled at the teen, Tatsuha melted.

"How did you get in here?" he asked.

"Actually, I bribed one of the workers. She told me no, but when I offered her a hug, she let me in. So where are you going tonight looking so handsome?" the singer asked as he eyed the teenager up and down.

Tatsuha shrugged his shoulders. "A club. My friends wanted to celebrate my release from "prison" as they like to call my home."

Ryuichi walked over to the taller male, and gave him a hug.

"I'm sorry Tatsuha-kun," he said. "I got you grounded."

The teenager smiled at the fact that he was being hugged, and put his arms around the singer.

"It's okay. I'd do anything for you Sakuma-san."

Ryuichi stood on his tiptoes and looked Tatsuha in the eye.

"Stop calling me Sakuma-san, na no da! I want to hear you say Ryuichi."

"Okay," said Tatsuha, "as long as you drop the –kun on my name." He leaned in closer, and they were now nose to nose. Both men were smiling.

"Tatsuha."

"Ryuichi."

Tatsuha leaned forward a bit more and their lips connected. Eyes closed, and they both enjoyed the moment, savoring the feeling of kissing each other after so long. When they broke apart, the teenager spoke first.

"So I suddenly don't feel like going to a club with my friends anymore. Wanna go dancing with me, Ryuichi?"

The singer grinned. "Why wouldn't I want to go with someone as hot as you?"

The lady that helped Ryuichi get in helped them get back out. The singer gave her another hug in thanks, and she fainted. When they got to Ryuichi's car, Tatsuha took hold of the older male's hand, stopping him from getting in the car.

"Are you okay Tatsuha?" Ryuichi asked.

"I…I like you a lot Ryuichi." There was a moment before the teenager spoke again. "Do you like me too? Because if you don't, then I—"

"You know Tatsuha," the singer began as he got closer to the other body, "I don't give my kisses away like they're nothing. You've gotta be pretty special and important to me before I do anything, okay?" By this point, he was pressed fully up against the taller male. "I like you too," he said quietly while entwining their fingers together.

Tatsuha grinned. "Then why are we standing here? Get in the car. I'm not letting go of you once we get on the dance floor."

Ryuichi smiled, and pulled the younger male into the backseat with him. The singer gave the signal, and the driver headed into downtown Kyoto, looking for a club.

After all, when it came to Ryuichi, dancing was almost as good as singing. And when he got to dance with Tatsuha, it was even better.
