Chapter 8:
Shuichi stirred the strawberry concoction he was making. It was almost time for Wan to return from school. He left the gas on simmer for a while and started to make some chocolate milk, Wan loved it! He wondered if Eiri wanted some as well. He knocked on the door of the study and walked in to see Eiri staring off into the distance.
"Eiri? Do you want some chocolate milk? You liked it the last time I made it…" the novelist looked at his lover and nodded. Then he tuned back o his computer and started to type. Shuichi went over and slid his arms around the blonde's neck. "Relax a little Eiri…come into the living room, that way you can talk to me while I finish cooking."
He managed to convince the novelist after a few more minutes of persuasion. Eiri followed him to the kitchen, prodding the strawberry goo with a suspicious look. It was weird how Shuichi made all these crazy strawberry creations. Last time he'd used pocky, jelly, syrup and jam and boiled it together, trying to make strawberry boiled sweets…it hadn't come out too well, and tasted sickly sweet.
The door opened and Wan came in, kicking his shoes off. Then he closed the door and started walking towards his room. Shuichi looked up at him with a smile. "How was your day Wan? Dump your bag in your room and come here, I've made your favorite chocolate milk."
Wan ambled back into the kitchen. "It was ok. Nothing much to talk about. Ralph and Hikari are going out now."
Shuichi looked a little concerned. "So you're ok with it?"
Wan shrugged. "I never liked her like that in the first place right? So it doesn't matter."
Eiri placed the glass of milk in front of Wan. "So, what grade did you get on your test?"
Wan stilled a little. "We didn't get our tests back. Our teacher didn't turn up today and we had a few free classes. I'll tell you as soon as I get it alright?"
Eiri's eyes narrowed. "Why did Hikari get her test back then? Ken told me about it when I was talking to him this afternoon. He said they got it yesterday. And your teacher called. Please don't lie to me Wan…"
Shuichi watched tensely as his son and lover stared at each other. Then Wan took a sip of his milk and answered casually. "So what did she say? I didn't think she'd call this soon."
Eiri's face tightened. Shuichi placed a hand on his shoulder. "She said, that you didn't show up for one or two classes and that your grades have slipped in the past two weeks. She also informed me that you got a D on you test and that you've gotten D's on all your tests, except art, where you got a C. care to tell me why you aren't studying?"
Wan shrugged. "I don't feel like studying. Hell, I don't feel like doing anything right now. Don't see why you'd care anyway. I'll bring up my grades when I feel like it…dad isn't saying anything about it is he?"
Shuichi glared at his son. "Wan, I'm just as mad at you as Eiri is. What's wrong? You've never let your grades slip before! And don't talk to Eiri like that. The least you could do is apologize for lying to us about it. We're trying to help you here! And Eiri does care…he's cared about you for these twelve years, why would he suddenly stop now?"
Wan downed his milk and stood up. "I have to go meet Ralph and Hikari right now. I might be back a little late. Don't wait up for me…"
Eiri blocked his path, almost spilling over with fury. "No you will not go meet anyone today. You're grounded. Until I see your grades getting better, you're not going anywhere or having any fun…understand?"
Wan grimaced. "I don't see how my life is any of your business…after all the only reason you get have as much authority is because you're screwing my dad! Leave me alone will you?"
"WANN! I don't want to hear one more word from you! You will go to your room now, and I want you to study. I'm going to go over everything with you to see how much you have studied. No more excuses." Shuichi ordered his son. He couldn't bear to see Eiri's hurt expression.
Wan spun around and headed to his room without another word. The only emotion that could be seen was when he slammed the door hard enough for it to echo all around the room. Eiri stood there for a minute before going into the study leaving Shuichi alone and worried.
Shuichi looked between the two doors and sighed. Ever since that Shima incident two weeks back things had been tense. Wan had tried to put on a normal mask, but it had been slipping steadily for the past few days. Eiri's nightmares about Kitazawa and the stress he used to have had returned. Shuichi had thought that it would all turn out alright, but when Wan's teacher had called, he knew that something had to break. Eiri had been so angry, but he'd tried his best to hold it in. Shuichi took the burnt strawberry goo of the stove and started to chuck it. He wondered if things would ever be ok.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wan threw himself onto his bed. This whole thing wasn't fair. Nobody told him anything about why Eiri had kicked Shima out like that. No one seemed to understand that he actually loved the dark haired teen. Shima hadn't turned up at school for the first three days and that had helped Wan act normal, but right now he couldn't keep up the bloody mask anymore.
This hurt…but no one tried to comfort him. His parents were acting like nothing had happened….they were going about their own lives, not even realizing how much this was hurting him. Even Shuichi hadn't hugged him of told him things were going to be fine…it was all about Eiri. Eiri was what mattered to Shuichi; nobody else was as precious as Eiri.
Wan felt angry tears fill up his eyes. Dammit, he didn't want to cry like some weakling…but he had to let it go sometime. It was one of the few times that Wan had given in, he sobbed into his pillow wondering when they would stop. It just felt really gut wrenching right now, he was glad no one was there to see him act like a silly girl! He didn't see or hear the door open quietly as his dad peered in nor did he hear it shut. After a while of crying, he felt exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, when the Uesugi's were having their little fight…Seguchi Tohma was wondering what his next move should be. He knew from what Hikari told him that something had gone wrong with Wan and Shima. He also had heard the rest of the story from Shuichi…well one thing was clear; Shima needed to know what was going on. The poor kid didn't have to suffer in the dark.
He looked up as his secretary ushered the dark haired kid in. he didn't look too good, but that was to be expected. Tohma tried a smile as he gestured for him to take a seat. "How have you been Shima-kun?"
Shima looked up with a slightly sarcastic look. But he didn't say anything. Tohma decided it would be so much better to head straight to the point. "Listen, I heard there was a mishap when you visit Eiri. I think you need to know why. But I expect you to accept the reason and then leave Wan and his family alone….do you understand?"
Shima didn't bother to hide the pain in his eyes. "I do. Now can you please get this meeting over with? I have a job…."
Tohma nodded. "Your grandfather Kitazawa Yuki did indeed teach Eiri. Well you see while they were together in New York Eiri happened to fall in love with his teacher….namely your grandfather. We, Eiri and I, had no idea that he was married or even that he had a family. It seems to have been a lapse on my part for trusting him. Now getting back to the point, your grandfather knew that Eiri had feelings towards him. One day he raped him…as well as tried to sell him."
Shima's eyes widened. "You…you can't be serious…he could never…."
"Shima-kun, you cannot expect me to believe you knew what kind of a man your grandfather was…you were not born then. So to get on with it, Eiri was so overcome by shock and betrayal, that he did the only thing he could think of to save himself from the other men and the man he had cared for so much. He pulled out a gun from one of the men and shot them all. That is how your grandfather died, Shima-kun. Eiri was the man who murdered him." Tohma reached over to pat the boy, who flinched at his touch.
Shima was clutching the table, his knuckles white. He wasn't looking at the blonde, but trying to asses everything he'd heard. He'd just been told that the one person he'd been looking for, for revenge was his love's dad…and that the said dad was going to separate him from Wan for ever, for a crime that his grandfather committed.
Tohma walked over to the boy, placing both hands on his shoulder. "Which is why, Shima-kun, you must stay away from Wan. If Eiri even get a hint that you're near Wan, he'll kill you. He loves that child very much and he has been very hurt due to your grandfather's actions. This is for your own safety."
Shima suddenly stood up, moving away from Tohma' hands. "Don't worry Seguchi-san. It's going to be a piece of cake staying away from the little git. Your family will be safe…don't bother telling me about my safety, I can handle my own affairs quite well thank you."
Tohma looked at Shima's arrogant smile and wondered about the sudden change. "If you need any help, you can always come to me, Shima-kun."
Shima smirked and started to walk out. He stopped at the threshold. "I don't think I'll need your help. Thank you for the information."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Eiri tiptoed into Wan's room and stopped at the bed. The brown haired boy was asleep, his spread all around him like an angel's. The pillow was really damp and you could see the salty streaks down his cheeks. Uesugi Eiri had never felt so guilty in his life. His ran his fingers lightly over the boy's cheek. Wan stirred a little, but snuggled a little more into his blankets.
"I'm sorry Wan." Eiri whispered his voice barely able to be heard. "But I don't want you going through what I did…this is for your own good. I can't let anything happen to you…I love you. You're my son, I've loved you ever since the first time I saw look at me with those big green eyes at the supermarket."
"If anything happened to you…I could never forgive myself. Remember the time when you fell sick cause I didn't pick you up from school? I nearly had a heart attack then…so please don't hate me for this." Eiri frowned slightly. "Even if you hate me for this, I'm still going to do it."
Eiri stroked his head one last time and walked out of the room coming face to face with Shuichi. None of them had had any dinner, none of them felt like it. Shuichi just slipped his arms around Eiri.
They got to their bedroom. Shuichi kissed him softly. "Eiri, you should explain things to him, at least you should let me explain things to him. Every time something like this happens, you get stressed out…I don't want you to end up in hospital like all those years ago. And we haven't even told him why you want him away from Shima. If you want, I can tell him…"
Eiri looked away. "I don't want to tell him anything. He doesn't need to know. He just needs to trust us; we know what's best for him. He's still a child; he doesn't know the things people can do! I don't want you to tell him either."
Shuichi sighed. "You're behaving childishly Eiri…I thought that was my forte…you know we don't even know Shima….he might not even be like Yuki…we didn't give him a chance, Eiri!" he got cut off as Eiri kissed him
"Do you remember the time when Wan wrote his first story Shuichi? I was so proud, when he won the contest. He's like my own son! We almost lost him that time when I messed up, when he was four….i don't want anything to happen to him again. I'm his father too! I contributed a lot to his upbringing, which is why he's so good at math and history and stuff.
"I will protect him from anything I think is not fit for him! Please don't argue with me about this!" Eiri turned around and went to sleep. Shuichi hugged him close again, but he didn't get any sleep. He wished Eiri was more understanding! After all they did go through the same thing in the beginning when Seguchi Tohma tried to separate them….
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Pass me the ketchup Wan…uh Wan? I said pass me the ketchup!" Ralph nudged is friend when he didn't respond. The brunette looked at him irritatedly and passed him the ketchup. Wan was picking at his food, he seemed to be deep in thought, but Ralph didn't want him thinking about anything just now.
"What is wrong with you? Really lighten up, man! You can't have had it that bad for him…" Ralph couldn't continue as Hikari placed a hand over his mouth.
Wan shrugged and continued to stare broodily at his food. He wished he could catch a glimpse of Shima, they had very different classes today…Shima had changed his schedule a while back. Fortunately for Wan, hey couldn't get out of doing their project, even though Eiri had tried total to their teacher.
Suddenly he heard Hikari gasp and looked up to find himself face to face with Shima. He noticed that Shima had gotten his ear pierced; there was a nice chunky silver ring on it. Few of the buttons on his shirt were undone giving Wan a nice view of the toned muscles beneath that chest. Shima's cold voice interrupted his musings.
"Are you done staring Shindou?" that was when Wan looked up into Shima's eyes confused. Shima sounded like he had when they had first met. He nodded. Shima smirked. "Good. Here's my part of the assignment, I've finished the written work and this tape has got everything we filmed on it. You just have to edit it a bit and then write out your own bit. We're presenting it day after tomorrow, see that you don't slack off."
Wan stared after him as he disappeared through the doors. Doesn't any of this affect him? Isn't he even a bit hurt or am the only one whose messing things up for myself? Wan got up, not bothering to listen to Ralph or Hikari. He decided to go after Shima. He found him in the lockers at the gym, getting into his shorts.
Shima looked up at him. "Did you need something?"
Wan's eye narrowed as he pushed the other boy against the locker and kissed him. Before he could continue, Shima had pulled away and was holding his wrists. He had a blank look on his face. Wan couldn't take it anymore.
"Don't you want this anymore? Aren't you even a bit hurt? Why are you giving up so soon? You've ignored me all these weeks. I haven't been able to think straight Shima! Doesn't this even affect you one bit? I really lo…" he stopped as Shima placed a finger over his lips.
"Don't say it Shindou-san. To tell you the truth, I'm really not interested in this anymore…I don't see it going anywhere. Now if you don't mind I've got to practice a little basketball. I'm sorry to have bothered you." Shima gave him a cool nod and proceeded to the court.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eiri looked up as the door opened and closed with a slam. Wan went straight into his bedroom with out a word to anyone. Shuichi glanced at Eiri looking concerned. What the hell had happened? They walked up to the boy's door and tried to open it was locked.
Shuichi sighed. "Wan? Are you alright? What happened? Open the door Wan…" silence answered him from inside. He looked at Eiri worriedly. Wan wouldn't try anything would he?
"Wan, I want you to open this door right now…." Eiri tried, and then he tried another track. "Wan I'm sorry for yelling at you and grounding you…please open the door…"
Slowly the door opened and Wan stared at them with a bored look that failed to cover his hurt very well. "What do you want?"
Shuichi grabbed him in a hug. "You didn't try anything! I love you!"
Wan pulled away giving them a disbelieving look, "What do you mean try anything? I didn't have a good day at school all right? I'm really not in the mood to talk to anyone right now. So please just give me some space will you?"
He shut the door once more and crawled back to bed. He still couldn't think straight, he wished he could just go out like he used before and clear his head. Suddenly he remembered something. He walked up to his window and looked out. The fire escape reached someone's window two stories below. A two story drop would be dangerous; he could break something, if he didn't land at the right place. Wan wondered how he could get out of here safely and be able to make it back.
He smiled as he caught sight of the drainpipe that went past his window. Taking a quick look at the time, he realized that his parents would see if he wanted dinner soon. If he refused and turned on some music, they would leave him alone. He decided to wait till after they asked.
Right on cue half an hour later, Shuichi called out to him asking him I he'd like dinner. Then Wan answered that he didn't feel like it. After putting on one of his Sum41 CDs at low volume, he crept onto his window ledge after making sure no one was out on the balcony of the living from where you could see everything he was trying.
He tested the pipe, shifting his weight around a little. Then he started to make his way down like a monkey, upon reaching the fire escape he realize that he might have to jump or at least leap onto it, other wise he'd fall down about seven stories. The pipe only went on for another story. Taking a deep breathe Wan leaped and landed safely without too much noise. He thanked god that he was good at gymnastics. Then he looked at the streets, he was free….
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A week after he discovered his escape route, Wan was out once more. This time it was a bit later than usual, his parents had delayed while making dinner and he'd had to slip out after they were asleep. He liked walked in the chilly weather, it cleared his head and he didn't have thoughts of Shima plaguing. He'd caught sight of the dark haired boy at school several times…Shima didn't look too good, he looked over worked and exhausted.
Wan wished they could just forget about Eiri and the world and start dating. Even after a month, Wan still wanted the other boy, still loved him. Wan sighed, his birthday was coming up…he wondered where he could go if he could just invite Shima along. His friend would keep quiet about it.
He looked around; he was somewhere near Shima's apartment. Suddenly he heard some scuffling in the alley up ahead. He ran towards it and found a man backed up against the metal fence at the end of the alley. To his horror he realized that Shima was threatening the man, holding up a knife. Wan knew he had to do something before things got out of hand.
He walked towards them slowly. Shima turned around to face him, slightly. Shima's eyes were frenzied; he looked tired and very desperate. Wan approached him slowly. "Shima, it's me. Look I'm not going to hurt you. Come here Shima, put that knife away ok?"
Shima looked at him and then turned back to the man, moving slightly so he could see them both. "Wan? Don't come near me. I'll kill you Wan…just turn around and go back the way you came…move away Wan…"
Wan looked at the man's terrified face. Then he grinned a little. "Hey, Shima, come on. You wouldn't hurt me. You like me, what have I ever done to you? Come on Shima, you don't want this…if you do this, you don't know where you'll end up. You wont be able to do my project with me…it got postponed remember…we have to do it on Friday. Come Shima, love, please put that knife down." He had gotten close enough to pin the boy down if it was needed.
Shima bit his lip. "I need the money….i lost two of my jobs….I need that money….don't get into this Wan, I really will hurt you….please Wan…" Wan jumped, pinning Shima's wrist to the wall and holding him there. He turned to the man.
"Please just leave. And don't press charges; my friend is a little deranged right now…" he got cut off as Shima's fist slammed into his stomach. He let go and the knife came slashing down at him, biting into his shoulder. Wan grunted and bit his lip hard to keep from screaming. He waited for another blow, but Shima was staring at him, a shocked expression on his face.
"I…really…hurt…you! I'm sorry…Wan I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. Gosh I'm so sorry…" he almost fell, but Wan managed to catch him.
"I'm fine Shima…it's not that bad. You didn't kill me or anything. Come on; let me get you up to your apartment…" Wan had to drag the other boy home and was relieved when they made it to the couch. He went int other bathroom, to use the first aid kit and bandage his arm. Then he went to speak to Shima, who was still staring into space.
He hugged the boy and buried his nose into his hair. "Shima tell all about it…"
Shima sighed. "I don't know, I think I've lost it…my sanity. I haven't been doing a very good job for the past month; I lost my job at the restaurant and the café. The job at the mall won't get me enough income, I need to get some money quickly or I'll be out on the streets. And…I've missed you. I wanted you so much, it's been so hard. I can't not be with you Wan."
He got no further as Wan kissed him. It was a passionate kiss, Wan's tongue exploring his mouth completely. Wan pushed him back onto the couch, kissing him harder, fisting his hair. He wanted this boy; he didn't care that he breaking his promise to Eiri right now. He got more comfortable before grinding their hips together. Shima moaned into the kiss. Pulling away Wan attacked his clothes almost ripping the shirt off. This wasn't the time for slow love making, he h\wanted all of Shima and now. Shima lifted his hips as Wan continued to tear his pants off. Then Wan worked on his own clothes being a little gentler because he would have to get back in them and Shuichi would wonder what happened if he ripped them. Hen he was naked, he pulled down Shima's boxers, baring the proud erection. Leaning down to kiss the dark haired boy, Wan began fisting Shima's erection lightly.
Shima gasped and arched into the other's hand. "Wan…" he whispered trying for more friction against the boy's hand. Wan complied stroking harder. Some where along the time when Shima's moans became more frequent and his own erection started to throb madly, Wan realized that the bed would be a much better option. Some bath oil or something would suffice as well. He looked down at his spread eagled lover who was moaning wantonly due to his ministrations and let go of Shima's member to wrap the other's legs around him. Then he carried the boy into the bed room, before laying him on the bed and peppering him with kisses. He spent more time than necessary on Shima's erect nipples, while deciding which way he should move. Making up his mind he moved.
Shima found himself presented with Wan's cock looking him in the face. He hesitantly opened his mouth, and slipped his tongue out to give it a lick. Wan hissed as it sent electric shocks through him. He slipped his hands onto Shima's head, encouraging the boy to take him in his mouth. Shima had no idea what to do, it was his first time…he took the head into his mouth, laving at it with his tongue, tasting the somewhat bitter precum. Then he slowly slid his mouth down, taking in as much as he could. He tired not to gag as tried to take in all of Wan, starting to suck powerfully, as his nose rested in the dense curls at the base of Wan's cock.
Wan tired not to choke his lover by thrusting. He controlled himself as well as he could, before pulling out and replacing his cock with three of his fingers. Shima sucked these wondering what Wan was going to do now. Removing the fingers and kissing Shima once more, Wan began to stroke him again. While Shima was preoccupied with his cock, Wan slid a finger inside his entrance. Shima gasped and tried to move away, but Wan held him in place kissing him again. "Trust me Shima."
Then when he was sure Shima was feeling more comfortable he added another finger, searching for that secret bundle of nerves. Suddenly Shima arched under him; shuddering…he had found it. Wan slipped the third finger in continuing to stretch the other boy while he stroked him on the inside. He pulled out, leaving Shima mewling for more, letting his lover cool down a bit, before pressing his still slicked cock against his entrance. He lifted both Shima's legs onto his shoulders and kissed Shima once more. "This'll hurt sweetheart…." Then he started to push forward. Shima cried out softly, fisting the blankets trying to hold back his tears as his body felt like it was being torn in half. Wan kissed him again and again waiting for him to settle down.
Then he pulled out once more. "God you feel so good, koi….I'll make it better I promise…" Wan changed his angle a little and started thrusting. Amidst all the pain Shima started to feel unadulterated pleasure coursing through him. He found himself thrusting in time with Wan. When Wan's hand started stroking his erection, he screamed. Wan's moans matched his as his cock went in and out of him. "Shima…" "Oh god…" "I…can't…hold…" they screamed as they came together. Lights exploded all around them, as Wan continued to thrust for a while.
Wan collapsed on top of his lover, panting softly. Shima ran his fingers through Wan's hair. "I love you Wan…don't leave me again." Wan smiled kissing Shima's forehead. "I don't think I'll ever leave you…I love you too."
Suddenly a thought that Shima's been wondering about surfaced and was out of his lips before he could hold back. "Wan were you a virgin…?
Wan looked at him and chuckled. "Um…no. I lost it last year with this girl called Asha…but that was nothing serious koi. Believe me; I'm dead serious about you…"
Shima nodded looking a little thoughtful. "Ok…but the next time I top…and I don't mean uke top."
Wan smiled and pulled out of him rolling to the side before spooning him. "Whatever you wish Shima…I love you." Fuck the promise I made to Eiri…
