Later that day, around 5 p.m.

"Tsuzuki, I have to stay out very late tonight. You don't have to wait up for me." Hisoka said to Tsuzuki on the phone.

"I can wait. How late?" Tsuzuki asked.

"After midnight. We are trying to get a feel of the crime scenes around that time. It was Koroji's idea."

"…"

"Hello?"

"…"

"Tsuzuki, are you there?" Hisoka asked, uncertain why the man was silent.

"…"

"Asato… talk to me?"

"Yes I'm here. I was… thinking. Sorry. I can wait up for you. It doesn't matter how late."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I am. I miss you already. How can I go to bed without you by my side? I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway." Tsuzuki insisted.

"I miss you too."


Early next morning, around 3 a.m.

Sounds of keys turning the front lock were heard. The door opened. It was dark, but the bright full moon shone into the living room.

Hisoka wasn't planning to turn the lights on, because he did not want to wake up Tsuzuki. He headed towards the bedroom, and someone grabbed him very hard by the shoulders and threw him against the wall. He was going to fight back… when an intruding tongue probed his mouth, a rough hand pulled the back of his hair, the other caressed his smooth chest under the tight shirt, and a huge thigh rubbed between his legs. The man smelled familiar. Yes, he waited up for him, as promised. Although Hisoka was tired after a very long day of work, he could not bear to turn down the man who waited all night for him. Tsuzuki was only wearing an unbuttoned shirt with no pants. He took Hisoka's ass in both hands and mouthed his neck that made him moan and giggle. He turned him around, tore his clothes off, and pushed him to the bed, naked and free. Grounding him, he licked everywhere, toward Hisoka's navel. He touched the member and the boy was rock hard. He covered it with his warm mouth, and sucked it like it was a lollipop. In and out of with a rhythmic motion. In-between the moves, he managed to express himself...

"You taste good.

I want you.

I need you.

Hisoka Kurosaki.

You're mine.

You're mine."

Tsuzuki needed to say the words out loud, for his own self-assurance, and to remind the boy. "I know. I love you too." Hisoka responded with what seemed an ecstatic voice. But he realized his body was not responding like it usually would. Because he was exhausted from work.

"His body is not responding like it usually does." A voice inside Tsuzuki pronounced.

He kissed harder. Throated deeper. Swallowed every drop.

Hisoka was away for just half a night, but it felt like an eternity to Tsuzuki. How could he ever live a day without this boy?
