AN) See see I told you I'd update soon! It was true this time! Well I've had this part written for some time I just had to get the in between stuff done. I hope you enjoy this chapter from here on out it gets a lot more serious and adult. Heed the M rating.
Special AN note for anyone who cares) Yeah so it took me a while to write this and I was beet red the whole time. I honestly don't know why seeing as I was all by myself but just writing it embarrassed the hell out of me. If you must complain feel free to do so this whole chapter the characters are OOC. Whelp that's about it please tell me what you think I have the next three chapters lined up and ready to go. Reviewer's opinions will determine if I go back and do revising before I upload them.
(This chapter takes place about four months after Shuichi's first visit to his parents. So he's been with Eiri around six months, the setting is early fall.)
After Shuichi's last visit to his parents Eiri wasn't about to let him go back alone. Tohma had informed him, upon his demand, that Shuichi's parents once again wanted him to visit. Eiri was sitting on the couch waiting for Shuichi to get home. The pink haired singer seemed to be dragging himself through the door; he didn't slam through it with his usual "I'm home!" Eiri watched as for once he sat down and removed his shoes at the door normally he just toed them off. Then he proceeded to just sit there. Finally he released a sigh as he glanced over his shoulder at Yuki.
"I suppose you already know I'm going to visit my parents tomorrow?" He asked quietly.
"Yes and I'm the one taking you." Eiri said without looking up from the book he was pretending to read. Shuichi jumped up and ran into the room he was seething.
"What the hell do you mean you're taking me?" he screamed then covered his mouth in shock he couldn't believe he'd just yelled at Yuki like that. He had never spoken to his guardian like that and stood fearing the outcome. Eiri took his time removing his glasses and setting them and the book on the table. He then stood towering over Shuichi and grabbed him by the chin. Shuichi let out a small cry of surprise and Eiri could see the fear in his eyes, fear of being hurt. He hated that, he hated that no matter what he did the boy always looked at him in fear, he would never dream of harming Shuichi but years of abuse aren't easily undone Eiri was learning. In the end it boiled down to Eiri being to afraid of getting close to anyone, and Shuichi being to afraid of getting hurt.
"I'm not going to let you go there alone not after the way you came back last time. Besides I thought maybe your parents would want to meet the dirty old man that's taking care of you." Eiri said leaning down and whispering the last part into Shuichi's ear. Shuichi turned beet red and batted Yuki's hands away.
"Y-You're not a dirty old man." Shuichi stuttered out not making eye contact with Yuki, finding his shoes to be much more interesting. Eiri smirked as he pulled away from Shuichi and crossed his arms looking down at him.
"But I must me a dirty old man if I have you doing bad stuff you're not supposed to. I heard you crying out while you touched yourself last night" Eiri said the smirk never leaving his face. Shuichi turned an even brighter shade of red tears forming in his eyes.
"I-I'm s-sorry I-I." Shuichi turned around and ran from the room to the front door he didn't even stop to put his shoes on. Eiri was stunned to say the least. He had just been poking fun at Shuichi he hadn't actually meant it. Well truth-be-told he did know whenever Shuichi was doing that because the boy moaned so loud he was sure the neighbors heard, but he had just meant it as a joke. Eiri found himself dashing out the door after him. Shuichi was standing at the front gate of his house waiting for the gate to slide open. He slipped out it as soon as the gap was big enough and gained several seconds on Eiri as he dashed down the street. Eiri got out the gate as soon as he could and took off after the bawling singer. He didn't catch up till Shuichi finally stubbed his toe on a piece of upraised concrete and fell none too gracefully to the ground. By the time Eiri got there he was trying to get back up again and he was sobbing more harshly from the fall. Eiri knelt down next to him and tried to pull him into a hug, but Shuichi struggled to get away. When he finally got him calmed down enough that he wasn't struggling Eiri tried his best to apologize.
"I was just playing you retard I didn't really mean it." Eiri said softly as he tried to calm the singer down.
"I-Is that true?" Shuichi asked looking up at him hopefully.
"Yeah it's true." Eiri said with what almost looked like a smile. As he was holding him though Shuichi turned away and began to blush furiously.
"What is it now you moron?" Eiri asked leaning back against the wall of a building and taking out a cigarette. Unfortunately he'd left his lighter at home and could do no more than let it hang from his lips. Shuichi had a leg on either side of Eiri's and was resting just above the novelists knees. He was also turning redder by the second and poking his fore fingers together.
"Well now you know that…I um…well ung…you know." He finished in a mere whisper and turned his head to look at Yuki then turned quickly away again. It took Eiri a second to figure out what Shuichi was hinting at as soon as he did he burst out laughing. He laughed so hard that he was actually gripping his sides and tears were forming in his eyes. Shuichi crossed his arms and puffed his cheeks out trying to look indignant but the continued blush ruined it. Once Eiri finally had himself under control he whipped away the tears that had formed in his eyes and looked at Shuichi still smiling.
"Like I give a damn whether you play with yourself or not as long as you wake up happier in the morning I'm not going to complain." Eiri said his grin never failing.
"Doesn't it embarrass you to know?" Shuichi asked weakly. Eiri grew a bit more serious as he looked at Shuichi. 'This kid is way too sheltered.' Eiri thought to himself. It irked him that Shuichi could be so closed minded all the time.
"I hate to break your heart Shuichi but everyone masturbates you're not the only teenager with pent up hormones." Eiri said trying to relieve some of Shuichi's embarrassment. It didn't seem to help.
"If it makes you feel any better I do it on a regular basis." Eiri said flicking his un-smoked cigarette away. Shuichi simply turned redder and hit Yuki lightly on the chest.
"I take it back you are a dirty old man." Shuichi said and giggled, he then smiled up at Yuki. Eiri smiled softly back and mussed Shuichi's cotton candy hair he preferred the singer when he was happy.
"Come on let's go you still have to pack all your stuff for tomorrow." Eiri said standing up and pulling Shuichi with him. Shuichi let out a hiss of pain as they stood and pulled his arm to his chest.
"What's wrong?" Eiri asked taking his arm and looking at it. His wrist was red and puffed slightly. Eiri had forgotten that the singer had taken a dive into the pavement and began to look the rest of him over. The palms of his hands were scuffed up and both his knees were bleeding leaving a trail down his shins it looked worse than it was.
"You are a walking disaster." Eiri said as he righted himself and looked at Shuichi.
"Let's get you home and cleaned up ok? Then I'll make you whatever you want for dinner." Eiri said putting an arm around Shuichi's waist and making the boy put his uninjured arm around his shoulder for support. Shuichi simply nodded, he didn't really need the help his knees stung but it was nothing that would keep him from walking he wanted to be close to Yuki though.
By the time they arrived home Shuichi's wrist had swollen a good deal. He could still move it so Eiri was sure it wasn't broken but he figured it was probably sprained. He wrapped it with an Ace bandage and then cleaned the rest of Shuichi's wounds up. After that he ordered the boy to go pack what belongings he was going to need for the three day weekend they would be spending at his parents and started dinner. Shuichi entered the kitchen a half hour later looking rather disheveled; apparently he had fought with his suit case.
"Why are you coming with me to my parents?" Shuichi finally asked sitting at the table and watching Yuki finish dinner.
"Because the last time you went there they beat the shit out of you and then wouldn't even help you get home when you'd lost your money." Eiri said never turning around. Shuichi didn't reply he knew what Yuki said was true and there was no point in fighting it.
"And don't think I'm not still mad at you because you didn't bother to call me and tell me you needed help." Eiri said setting a plate of food before Shuichi and taking a seat himself.
"Yuki-san?" Shuichi said after awhile of pushing his food around his plate, he had yet to eat any of it.
"What brat?" Eiri asked through food.
"Well you see it's just my parents well they probably won't be very friendly to you. I just thought I'd apologize now." Shuichi said and finally took a bite of food.
"Shuichi you're not your parents I don't give a damn how they treat me it's how they treat you. I won't stand for them to beat you and if one of them so much as lays a finger on you in my presence they will pay the price." Eiri said with vehemence.
"Thank you Yuki." Shuichi said quietly as he finished his meal. They parted ways soon after Eiri going to work on his novel and Shuichi crashing on the couch. He slept on the couch regularly anyway, but was forced to tonight. He had stuffed his suitcase so full that he couldn't lift it with his one hand, so there was no sleeping on the bed tonight. There was another reason for sleeping on the couch though. Yuki would come in after he thought he was asleep and cover him up, sometimes he would stroke his hair slightly and other times he would place a chaste kiss on Shuichi's forehead. With thoughts of Yuki's gentle touches Shuichi drifted off to sleep.
He woke the next morning to find that Yuki had in fact covered him up and tucked the blanket around him. He could smell breakfast and didn't even bother to go into the kitchen. He went straight to the bathroom and took a shower. Once he was done he toweled his hair partially dry and headed up to his room. Yuki stuck his head out of the kitchen to tell him that breakfast was done and to hurry up so they could leave. He dashed up the stairs not knowing Eiri's eyes never left his semi nude body.
Eiri's spine tingled at the sight of Shuichi in nothing but a towel and he had to force his libido down for fear he would take off after Shuichi and have his way with him. The mere sight of the boy fully clothed could make him hard; with next to nothing on it was almost unbearable. He was so lost in fantasies of the towel Shuichi had been wearing falling off that he didn't even realize that Shuichi had come into the kitchen till he spoke.
"Yuki-san are you ok you look kind of funny?" Shuichi asked his innocence not allowing him to realize why Eiri was breathing heavily. Eiri turned red and tried to gain his composure while also trying to hide his current "problem".
"Yeah I'm fine listen go a head and eat I'll be back in a minute I need to go freshen up a bit." Eiri was out of the room before Shuichi could protest. The singer sat down and helped himself to food making sure to leave enough for Yuki.
Eiri released a soft grunt as he came into his own hand. He hated that he thought of Shuichi while he did this it wasn't fair to the boy. He quickly pushed his thoughts aside and cleaned up then exited the bathroom to eat breakfast and leave on what he was sure was going to be one of the worst trips of his life.
Shuichi had finished his food and was cleaning up all the dishes with the exception of the plate he had left for Eiri. He ate quickly as he listened to Shuichi sing softly and the light clink of dishes. He stood up and took the plate to the sink wrapping his arms around Shuichi as he placed it in the water then took the dish rag and cleaned it off. He could feel Shuichi against him and hated himself for loving the warmth of the small body. Shuichi fought his best not to lean into Yuki and to think of things other than the feelings the man cause to course through his body. Eiri dried his hands on the apron Shuichi was wearing giving him an excuse to touch the boy then pulled away. He had realized that Shuichi had done the dishes with an injured hand and reprimanded the boy while he put the bandage back on his wrist for him. Then Eiri grabbed his keys and headed for the door Shuichi close behind.
"Where's you suitcase brat?" Eiri asked as he opened the front door. Shuichi looked shyly at his feet and mumbled a response.
"It was too heavy to carry down." He said softly.
"I'll go get it all you had to do was ask." Eiri said heading up the stairs, but not before giving Shuichi the keys and telling him to start the car.
Eiri thought he was going to die trying to drag Shuichi's suitcase down the stairs the singer had apparently packed everything he owned. When he finally got it out into the car he wasn't sure he was going to be able to drive with the ten ton weight in the back. Finally looking very disheveled and rather irritated he climbed into the car next to Shuichi and put it into drive, he was still panting from the ordeal of getting the luggage in his trunk.
"Yuki-san are…" Shuichi wasn't allowed to finish Eiri cut him off.
"Don't speak to me I don't know what the hell you packed but just don't talk." Eiri said backing out of the drive way and taking off down the road. After a few minutes of silence and Shuichi changing positions and fidgeting every three seconds he finally snapped a "What!" at the singer.
"Well my parents live the other way." Shuichi whispered. Eiri hit the brakes and stared at Shuichi. People were backing up behind him honking their horns and screaming obscenities. He quickly performed a very illegal U-turn and headed the other direction. Shuichi was quiet for a long time but eventually he started babbling about whatever it was Bad Luck was up to at the time. Eiri heard every word but rarely responded. Shuichi had said it was a three hour drive to his parents but the way Eiri drove they were going to make it there in half the time. The closer they got to the boy's home town the quieter he became until he was no longer talking and was sunk down in the seat.
"Thank you for coming with me Yuki-san it means a lot." Shuichi whispered staring out the car window. Eiri grunted as he looked at the paper with the directions to Shuichi's house on it and took a right they were only about a mile away now.
"The last thing I want is you to come home all bruised up again someone might think that I'm the one who's been beating the shit out of you. Everyone already knows I'm a heartless bastard so I don't need child battery added to the list." Eiri said not thinking of how the comment might affect the singer. Shuichi whispered a soft "Sorry" then stiffened as he realized they were finally at his house. Eiri watched as the boy looked around panicky then sighed.
