Awkwardness sure to ensue in this chapter... and non-stop hilarity
Kazu awoke the next morning in a position he never thought he would find himself in.
The Jet was tangled securely and fully in Ikki's limbs; arms around his waist, and legs jumbled under the sheets.
Holy. Shit. Kazu tried to take in deep breaths, but found himself breathing rapidly instead. In an attempt to unwrap himself, the blonde slid slowly out of his captor's grasp until he heard the Crow grunt in disapproval.
"Stop moving Kazu, I'm trying to sleep," Ikki murmured warningly, running his hands up and down the Jet's back until they rested on his ass.
Kazu found himself caught between paradoxical emotions. On the one hand, he was ecstatically being molested by the object of his affection. On the other hand, he was caught in a lover's embrace… with a man who he was pretty sure wasn't gay. He just hoped Ikki wouldn't be mad when he awoke.
A knock on the door gave the Jet the perfect opportunity to get out of the bed and give his sex drive a cool down while he answered, that is, until he realized he and the Crow were still tied together.
Thankfully, the inquisitor seemed to understand their predicament, and came into their room anyway.
"Good morning sirs. May I interest you in some leisurely couple's activities this fine day?" Kazu looked around drearily.
"Yeah, yeah sure, sign us up," the blonde relayed slightly exasperatedly as he waved the female attendant back out the door and sighed.
"Who was that?" Ikki grumbled running a hand lazily through his own dark spikes.
"Some chick signing us up for club stuff. Oh. She left a schedule on the table-" Kazu began, attempting to coax his partner in pretend love out of bed to get the day started.
"Why can't we just lay here all day? Isn't that the point of vacation?" the dark haired boy pouted, pulling his hand (the one with the string) into his chest and drawing Kazu nearly on top of him.
"Cuddle with me."
Kazu's heart nearly stopped.
"…huh?" the Jet stuttered, jerking his head up and glancing at Ikki who lay dormant on the bed, glancing up at his blonde headed captive with a pleading look in his deep, brown eyes.
"You heard me." The Crow's eyes looked slightly curious, wondering what kind of reaction he would pull from the receiving end of his surprisingly blunt words. When only silence ensued, Ikki decided to explain himself.
"Last night got me thinking. I told you we could talk about stuff together, and once I got into it, I realized that I've never really talked about anything… so maybe I'd start with this. I know it's extreme, but I think you should be the first one I admit this to."
Kazu waited for the words. The earth shattering words that would either make, or break their relationship.
"I'm gay."
Kazu took a huge gulp of air and settled back next to Ikki on the bed. The Crow looked astonishingly relaxed, almost as though a great weight was lifted off his chest.
"Wow! I feel better. Man, and I thought coming out wasn't supposed to be this easy. I'm glad that we can talk now, though." Kazu twitched uncomfortably at the remark.
What's that retard talking about! Of course coming out isn't easy! Ugh…
When Ikki realized he was pulling no further reaction from the Jet, he pressed onward.
Maybe he'll loosen up later.
"Soooo, what club activities are planned for us this lovely… afternoon?" the Crow glanced out the window and noticed it was later in the day than he expected.
"Dunno," Kazu mumbled, twisting the red string around his wrist in an absent-minded and mechanical fashion.
"Alright! Let's get up and greet the day!" Ikki decided, hurling the Jet off the bed and swinging the room key around his finger. "The schedule says that the first thing on the list is… body wraps. What the hell is that?"
Kazu rolled his eyes. He lived with four other girls and he didn't know about spa treatments?
With my luck, he thinks they're some sort of vegetable sandwich-
"I wonder if they'll have food there. Oh well! Let's go check it out!"
Ikki ushered the hesitant blonde through the day, with no mention of previous anxiety that might've been had over Ikki's coming out party earlier.
Later that night, after the spa had quieted down and the stars were twinkling invitingly over the hot tub, Ikki and Kazu retired to the pool lounge where they were met with a very peculiar sight. Two men sat (tied by the red string of course), unabashedly making out near the semi-relaxing waterfall in the midst of the patio.
"This is awkward," Kazu muttered, scooting his deck chair (begrudgingly) a bit farther away from the Crow's… just to denounce any suspicion between their relationship.
The two who were furiously locking lips in lust, noticed their audience and retired to their room, still wrapped in each other's arms.
Fuck! That was so hot. Maybe Kazu needs to be drunk to be cool… Ikki fiddled with the string on his wrist until he caught the Jet's attention.
"Hey… you don't, you know, feel awkward around me now that you know, do you?" the dark haired boy asked, looking innocently up at Kazu with his deep, approval-seeking brown eyes. Kazu gulped.
"No, it's totally cool."
Make a move on me for the love of God! Kazu internally pleaded with his non-existent, atheistic deity. When no apply was heard, the silence became awkward to say the least.
"So… when did you realize you were… you know-"
"What? Gay? You can say the word Kazu, you're a big boy," Ikki jibed, rolling over on his deck chair and letting his spiky locks fall over his face and seductively draping his legs over the edge of the seat.
"Um… yeah, that."
Is it getting hot out here, or is that just me? Kazu pulled at the collar of his t-shirt and looked anxiously for Ikki to continue.
"Well, there was this guy… more like an angel with broken wings, and as I watched him, and how effortlessly he worked with his ATs… you know, I fell in love."
Kazu felt his breath leave him. Effortless… ATs… Angel… Broken… Akito. That was the only explanation in the Jet's mind. It was a wonder Kazu had ever deluded himself for so long with this fantasies of himself and the Crow… the Sky King…
I should've known.
