They got to the hotel and it was, for sure, unless you contradict me, the most elegant hotel in the city and expensive, of course. That kind of hotel Vash's parents would never ever stay. Because they are so rational and so much like Ebenezer Scrooge.

"Oh my... god" Vash looked around, impressed. He'd seen the hotel from the outside but never from the inside and it was ridiculously impressive.

"Ugh" protested Roderich because itdidn't have enough flowers.

"Ugh? It's like... too much, right?" commented Vash thinking that, well, at least he agreed with him.

"Definitely not."

"W-What?"

"Do you see it? I think the Swiss don't know anything about luxury."

"What?! The hotel is ridiculously.. huge and golden and... I've never been in a place like this before."

"The size isn't the only thing that makes something luxurious."

"It is part... also the golden things, and those curtains and the people around us, did you see how many people work here?"

"Would you like to pass here your wedding night?"

"Our... I mean, MY... ! Wedding night? I...well... I don't know."

"Of course not, neither me! That's exactly what I mean. Well... anyways, it could be worse, so, come on."

"Why wouldn't you want to spend your wedding night here? I would prefer a smaller cabin in the mountain or something like that..."

"Really? You are so cute..."

"It's not cute! It's just... what would you like?"

"I like you, but it's better a palace."

"M-Me..." he repeated, blushing.

"Yes."

"I-I... like you too more than a palace..." Vash whispered again

"Well, that's not so difficult because you don't like palaces" Roderich laughed.

"Well I like you more than cabins in the mountain too!"

"Do you?"

"Of course! I like you more than... " Vash stopped. FINALLY. "W-Well... I... "

"Aha?"

"You are my best friend."

"I know."

"That makes you... well... likeable"

Roderich smiled and Vash smiled too, sheepishly.

"So... which is our room?"

"It's room 207"

"Do you see? Not even the penthouse!"

"The Penthouse?! But that is for like... politicians."

"Well, VIPs"

"Yes, we are normal people."

"Maybe you. I have royal blood"

"That's ridiculous, you are normal, like me, I've seen and you don't have blue blood or anything" Vash rolled eyes.

"I have it"

"You don't! You have... Roderich's blood. And it is a special blood."

"Well, you are starting to understand."

Vash smiled again and rolled eyes.

When they, at last, arrived to the room. Room that was bigger than Vash's smaller than Roderich's one, against him. Well... the broom cupboard he really said. Dafuq. Francis agrees.

Vash thought that well... a night here and for free.. was fantastic! He was still sheepishly smiling while placing Roderich's violin and his box into one of the tables of the room.

Roderich went to see the bath.

A huge tub with bubbles! YEEES!

Except becuse it is still empty.

WEll... yes, we are just imagining it

Vash went after Roderich looking around and thinking of... why would Roderich's mother need a room THIS BIG to stay only with Francis.

"Wow... it really looks like a swiming pool, doesn't it?"

"Well..."

"Why do you keep complaining about everything! We could be only sleeping in our bed, this is better!"

"Ok, ok..."

"A-Are we really going to bath here?"

"You want it, don't you?"

"Well... I think it is a good opportunity and your mother said that we could..." Vash blushed. Guilty as charged!

"Get undressed, then."

"O-Oh..." Vash bluuuuuuushed even more "A-And you?" And suddenly he remembered... his awful problem. If he got undressed, he would for sure get excited. If he got excited Roderich would think about his disease.

"I... will go for some alcohol, do you want?"

"A-Alcohol. I... I have not drunk anything yet. Is it expensive to drink something here?"

"Who matters, I won't pay for it"

"S-So can I get one like yours for... free?"

"Yes, my father will pay."

Wow... this was a great day!

"Well... can you get me the same you are drinking? I can prepare the bath in the meantime..."

"Yes" Roderich went to find something.

Vash was in panic the instant Roderich left the bathroom.

They were going to BATH together. That was crazy and his private parts were starting to get happy with the idea.

"Here is only Champagne, do you like it?"

"Ehm... i don't know."

"OK, let's try it" Roderich took two cups and a bottle.

Vash went to the bath tub and started to fill it with ejem... very hot water, when Roderich came again and his glasses got foggy instantly and Vash of course still had all his clothes.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm preparing the bath..."

"You just turned on the tap"

"W-Well..." he blushed even more because... well Roderich looked PERFECT with the champagne glasses and the bottle.

"Could you go for some towels?"

"Towels! Yes, yes... sure!" he nodded and went outside thinking that he could strip out of his clothes and cover with a towel... that way the process would not be so embarrassing. And well, that's exactly what he did in a very efficient way.

Well, when you come again Roderich will be laying on the tub surrounded by bubbles, trying to open the bottle of champagne

Vash looked at him with an open mouth and trust me... his manhood was not specially relaxed.

"Ah! I'm trying with this, can you come and help me?"

"I-I-I... yes" The best he could do was focus on something mechanical and easy, like opening a bottle.

But first... you have to drop you towel and get in the tub.

Vash was not thinking about getting into the tub, to be honest, he could open the bottle still with his towel. However the issue was that... he couldn't open the bottle with just one hand and he had to hold he towel.

"Could you close your eyes?" That was a stupid request, Roderich had seen him naked lots of times before... he had even measured him being excited.

"What? Why?"

And that was exactly the problem... he did not have a logical reason to request it... Vash blushed even more but dropped his towel and tried to quickly get into the tub... although his stupid private parts were... happy enough to be VERY visible!

"Are you arused again?" Asked Roderich because it was the only logical reason to be ashamed, but he didn't see anything.

"Nooo!" Vash almost fell inside the tub, going straight to covering his manhood, blushing eeeeven more, if possible.

Roderich rolled his eyes.

"I-I'm sorry..." Vash stuttered.

"Don't worry, it's not you fault"

It's yours, Vash thought, realizing again that he and Roderich were having very different moments right now. On one side, he was inside the tub with the person he liked and he was getting excited because it all was quite sensual. But on the other side, Roderich found his excitement a... nuisance.

"Well, that could be an opportunity" he smiled.

"A-An opportunity for what?" he asked softly, feeling quite stupid again.

"To see and analize your reactions"

It was again a sweet torture, just the idea.

"Maybe..." Vash nodded and scolded himself at once. What the hell was he doing. He was supposed to STOP this, not encourage Roderich to continue. He was a pathetic boy.

"Do you allow me?"

Say no, Vash Just shake your stupid pathetic head no and end with this stupid madness and... Vash nodded.

"OK, I want to try something a little bit strange. For sure I would prefer if it happens with a girl, but this could be interesting too. I want you to keep the image of that girl in your mind while I kiss you, because they say that the kisses make the arousal even bigger, but I want to prove if the same happens if the kiss is from a man. It's just to know how much the physical action affects the kiss versus the emotions."

Vash was unable to respond anything else, with the eyes completely open. He wanted to kiss him. To really kiss him. He thought of course that any conclusions Roderich got from this investigation were going to be wrong, because, of course, his own emotions and affection for him were going to control every single one of his reactions.

HE nodded again, without even bothering to scold him again, right now waaaay to worried about a hundred other things instead of himself being pathetic.

"If you get more excited, obviously the physical part it's the dominant and if the arousal stops, it's the emotions which rules. Anyway, try to not eyaculate and stop me if you feel that is going to happen, because I want to try more things, ok?"

Ejaculate! HE SAID EJACULATE!

Yes he did it.

Vash just nodded again, the only instruction he understood was: "do not ejaculate"

Roderich licked his own lips... and put his glasses off wich were anyways still fogged by Vash's hot... I mean hot then, in that moment he noticed that, even with the scientifical research excuse, it is not so easy to kiss a boy. He took a deep breathe and... slowly as hell, approached to him.

Vash was convinced at this point that well... he was going to wake up at any moment right now, that was the reason why Roderich was approaching so slowly.

Maybe someone of hotel's staff could interrupt knocking the door and giving them some strawberries.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Vash kissed Roderich before anyone could interrupt.

You did it again, Roderich.

As always.

Vash just pressed his lips against Roderich's, and opened his mouth a bit, also placing a hand softly on Roderich's neck. At this moment he was not even aware of his genitals... his heart was beating sooooooooo fast and Roderich's lips were so hot that he was completely distracted by this.

Roderich was taken by surprise at the first second because he was still preparing himself when Vash did it. But after it, he closed his eyes and opened his mouth a little.

Vash was a bit clumsy, yes, but he also was very careful and soft. He needed more contact, and more kiss. More Roderich. He did not even think for a second, just focusing in hugging Roderich with the other hand and searching him with the tongue.

And Roderich let him do because... fuck the science, Rod, you do not have any idea of what are you doing, you don't fool anyone.

The only thing that Vash could kind of think of was... well... that this was his favorite place in the world. Could he stay here forever?

No. Because suddenly was Roderich who pushed Vash strongly, and sepparated of him.

Vash raised his eyebrows and... to be honest he got scared instantly when he realized what he had done.

Roderich took air, sitting in the other side of the tub with his hands on his own excited manhood.

"I-I'm sorry" Vash whispered trying to catch his breath and collect himself, not even bothering to cover himself with his hands.

"No, no... keep calm, you didn't do anything wrong."

"I-I... just... a-are you ok?" he looked at him worried.

"Y-yes... that's not because of you" I don't know who was he trying to convince "I... I just... well, you are having a lot of action with our study, but not me... a-and obviously the physic stimulation rules, so... would you mind to give me some space and intimacy?"

So... how you dare? do you need space and intimacy?

Yes. Because he is not a horrible sick and homsexual pervert, just a overhomonate teenager and it makes all the difference!

Vash blinked slowly, trying to process everything that just happened and everything Roderich had just said.

"W-What?" sorry, Vash is just trying to understand the problem here. Roderich looked at him in the eye

"You. Leave. Now."

It took him just a fraction of a second to realize exactly what was Roderich asking, He was asking him to leave. And it took two more seconds to invent himself a theory of why he was asking him to leave. For sure he had realized that he had kissed him, and now... because he was STUPID, he was going to lose Roderich.

In panic he got out of the tub... excited, blushed, and scared.

"Sorry..." he mumbled again taking a towel and rushing out of the bathroom.

Roderich felt better when he went out, and again took a deep breath.
