Chapter 2: Dreamily

A/N: In the first chapter, I wanted to try out the first person's point of view thing. I found it completely hard so I decided in the next few chapters, I won't do that again. Also, I find the first chapter being okay as it is. After all, they still had confusion about their feelings. Hehehe…

Fai tossed and turned. His hand still being held by Kurogane while said boy was sitting on the floor beside his bed. He gripped Kurogane's hand tighter, awakening the taller boy.

"You must feel very uncomfortable there. It's okay to sleep beside me you know." Fai's voice had a tinge of teasing in it.

"Do I even have a choice? You'd just keep annoying me until I agree, won't you?" Kurogane said sardonically.

"Um… Yes?" Fai said with a sweet smile. 'Though I don't know how I could possibly annoy you at this state.'

"Scoot over then." He let go of Fai's hand. And though there was an incomplete feeling they both felt, neither said a word.

They lay down, their backs to each other. The tension was thick, both felt uncomfortable. And, we could say, it was worse for Fai. He already knew he was in love with the other, unlike Kurogane, who was still befuddled with his feelings. What was that saying again? The worst way to miss someone is to have them sit right next to you, wasn't that? Well, that was what Fai felt.

He was close enough to snuggle up to Kurogane and kiss him but knowing that Kurogane might not feel the same and might shove him away then never talk to him again just pained his heart.

'At least,' Fai thought, 'he's with me right now. And my fever seems to be subsiding as well.' He hugged his pillow tighter, though he would have preferred it be Kurogane, and nuzzled his face into his pillow. As his mind was full of optimism, he was able to drift off to sleep.

Kurogane looked over his shoulder to find Fai already asleep. 'So… he's not confused.'

The blond now lay on his stomach, he was mumbling in his sleep. Kurogane made an exasperated sigh. He turned to lie on his back, his hands under his head and stared at the ceiling. 'I think… he likes me… But, do I like him back? All those times when he'd invade my personal space, I had allowed him. Of course I told him to stop, but I never pushed him away.' Sigh, 'So what does that say about me? I bet he just likes to play with my emotions. He's just confusing me…'

No matter how much he tried to empty his thoughts, he just couldn't. That was the first time Kurogane wasn't able to sleep at peace not because he was thinking of how much he hated the blond. But because he thought he… might've actually liked, no loved, Fai the whole time.

"Kuro…"

"Nngh…"

"Kuro-tan… Please wake up…"

"What?" Kurogane opened one eye. He glared at Fai, well at least he tried to… with only one eye open.

"I feel so hot…" Kurogane swore he felt Fai move closer.

"Well, what do you suppose I do about it?" He finally opened both his eyes to look at Fai.

Kurogane was perplexed to see Fai with tinted cheeks, his eyes clouded with an unreadable emotion. But what shocked Kurogane the most was his own reaction, he actually found it enticing. The way Fai was biting his lower lip in a seductive manner, Kurogane's own cheeks now displayed a light shade of pink. Thank goodness it was dark.

Kurogane was half sitting up, though leaning on his elbows.

"You could," Fai placed his hand on Kurogane's chest, "cool me down…" He whispered sensually into the taller boy's ear before blowing on it.

The other backed away, well at least that's what he tried to do. Fai had already gotten on top of him. He had started to kiss Kurogane and mock-moaned. The blonde's hand started to unbutton Kurogane's school uniform starting from the top.

Kurogane placed his hands on either side of Fai's shoulders, ceasing the soft caresses and touches he hated to admit he might've liked. "What are you doing?"

Fai slid his hand downwards, stopping at Kurogane's crotch. "Don't pretend you don't like it." His fingers brushed along the hard-on Kurogane was having. "The truth is you like it, ne? Ku-ro-tan…" Fai said against the taller boy's ear.

The blond unbuckled Kurogane's belt. It's safe to say, Kurogane did not submit without a fight. He struggled against Fai, but somehow he couldn't push him off. Maybe it was because Fai was straddling him, kissing him and sucking Kurogane's tongue that the shorter had somehow gotten into his mouth. Or maybe he lost his will as Fai was moaning, grinding their hips together the blonde's face trickling with sweat and his cheeks pink. Whatever it was, It helped Fai to strap Kurogane to the bed post using the latter's own belt.

Fai brushed his lips along Kurogane's. "Enjoy the show," was said against the taller boy's lips. Fai stood up and got something from the bed. He didn't let the other see what the object was.

A table was against the wall at the foot of the bed. Fai walked towards it with a certain swagger in his hips. He placed the aforementioned object on the table, making sure to hide it from the other's view.

He didn't stop there. After so, he stood up straight and faced Kurogane, though his back was still against the table's edge. The blond opened his mouth as if to say something but instead, had put two of his fingers of his left hand on his lips and then started to suck on them. He turned his back to Kurogane; he slowly slid his shorts down with his free hand. Who knew Fai was actually wearing lace underwear. Exposing his arse, Kurogane's breath hitched.

Bending over the table, Fai let his chest touch its surface. The blond finally stopped on sucking his fingers but moved it to touch his entrance. Fai traced his own entrance with his saliva slicked finger. He inserted his finger and pushed it deeper inside as his eyes began to well up with tears. He would curl his finger to stretch his entrance more, so to fit the second finger. After doing so, he inserted another and began scissoring himself.

As much as Kurogane wanted to look away, something had prevented him. He didn't know if it was the fact that Fai just inserted a third finger or if it was the reason he had opted to moaning Kurogane's name while he finger-fucked himself. Kurogane didn't know what it was, but he just couldn't get his blood red eyes off, his gaze was captured by the scene.

When Fai felt he would already cum, he stopped his ministrations. He pulled his fingers out with a long moan. And as Kurogane watched, a certain part of his body had twitched.

Finally, the questioned object was exposed. As Fai walked towards his bed and crawled on top of it towards Kurogane, the other saw it was a bottle of lube. Fai lay it beside Kurogane's left thigh.

He had begun to unzip Kurogane's pants with his teeth. And this irked the red-eyed teen.

"What are you doing?!" Kurogane shouted in a hushed voice. Really, who would want some brat and his boyfriend to walk in on them in a… compromising situation?

"I'm just relieving Kuro-tan's pressure. Why, is that bad?" Fai said in an innocent way. In an innocent way meant to say 'Come-do-me-and-I-want-it-hard-and-good-even-though-I'm-still-a-virgin'.

"Why are you doing this?!" Again, in a hushed voice.

"Because…" Fai pouted while still on his all fours. "Kuro-pii doesn't like me…" His cute pout just turned into an 'I-want-you-so-deep-inside-me-that's-why-I'm-trying-to-seduce-you' pout.

Before Kurogane could babble on any further, Fai had taken a piece of cloth from under his pillow and tied it over Kurogane's mouth. It was somewhat like a makeshift gag. Only without the actual gagging part.

Fai slid down Kurogane's pants. Fai was greeted with... an interesting sight. He ran his fingers across the shaft, gaining a groan from the other.

"You're much bigger than I thought..." He lowered his head on the hardened length. He took all of Kurogane in his mouth and started to bob his head up and down. Grazing it with his teeth, it sent shivers up Kurogane's spine. Fai pulled the whole length out of his mouth, then he ran his tongue across the slit on the head of the cock.

Giving one more lick, he stopped before the other would cum. Even though Kurogane fought at first, he groaned when the warmth that was around his arousal was gone.

He glared at and the other just giggled. The blond opened the cap of the tube of lube and started to put some on the taller boy's erection. Fai put some on his fingers as well and brought them to his entrance and began to stretch it again. This time, he was able to push in deeper, his fingers brushing along his prostate. After just one brush, he pulled them out. There was something more... important at hand.

He knelt down with Kurogane in between his legs. Letting the head of Kurogane's length touch his entrance, he gasped. Fai slowly pushed down, Kurogane bucked his hips suddenly pushing into the blond. Fai let out a long moan, being suddenly full to the hilt. Tears were now in his eyes and he started to move up and down.

"Aah! Ku-Kuro-wan..." Fai ran his right hand along Kurogane's arm. He finally released the other from straps. The taller aggressively rolled on top of the other and untied the piece of cloth that was over his mouth.

"It's my turn... Time for payback..." He pulled almost completely out and thrust back in. When Fai let out a carnal scream, it had caught the other's attention. Kurogane thrust hard at an angle, gaining not a scream but a moan of pleasure. He caught on, thank you to the human anatomy they had as one of their topics in school, and kept thrusting at that same spot.

After a while, he felt Fai's muscles tighten around his arousal. Fai let out a shout of Kurogane's name, then he finally came. Now, the other wanted to follow suit. Only a few more thrusts. He could feel it in his lower body half. He could almost it already. He finally... Sneezed.

The whole escapade was just a dream. He woke up staring at the ceiling, Fai's hair on his face. The blond was snuggled up against him, his petite hand on the taller's chest. Not only that, but his knee was on Kurogane's groin as well. So that explains the pressure... He moved the leg off which he was thankful for that that wasn't latched onto him like the shorter teen's arms.

Kurogane tsk-ed. "Why did he have to move?" But oh contraire, Kurogane looked over to his side to find that it wasn't Fai who moved, but it was him. He saw how far off the edge on his side he was. How could he, Kurogane, let Fai cuddle up against him?!

Not only that, but their position would only be described as comfortable. They were lying down as if they had always hugged each other like this since before than once before and hold each other as lovers would.

Kurogane felt something vibrate under his head. He reached under the pillow to find a cell phone. He looked at the flip phone, still a bit groggy because of sleep. When he finally turned it on, he saw they were going to be late for school! He shook the blond from his sleep. At least he tried to, Fai just wouldn't budge.

"Wake up!"

Fai raised his head from Kurogane's chest. His eyes were still dream-dazed. He looked directly into the red eyes. He moved closer to Kurogane, slightly unnerving him. Breaths lingered, and Fai closed the gap between their lips. And after that, he flopped back down onto the taller boy's chest.

"What the… Fai, wake up!" Kurogane shouted, his face now an awful shade of red.

The other woke up startled and jumped off of Kurogane, falling onto the floor. He had hit his bum. "Ow…" He winced. "You didn't have to shout Kuro-pin…" He looked up from the floor. "What?"

"We're going to be late for school, idiot!"

"Uwai! Oh my! We have to hurry!"

And with that, their morning was rushed. And as Kurogane and Fai were running towards their school after Fai had bathed and gone to Kurogane's house for the latter to have a cold shower, if you know what that means, the blond pondered over the text message he had received from Touya.

'Yuki and I didn't have the heart to wake you guys up. You looked too comfortable with each other. Just tell Kurogane-sempai already. You love him, don't you?'

***

When it was their break time in school, Kurogane and Fai spent time in their secret place. Was it just Kurogane or did the place seem more radiant with Fai around? Maybe the sun was shining too bright… yeah, that's it.

They ate in silence, Kurogane somehow felt uncomfortable. After all, he did have a wet dream about the other the previous night.

"Hey…" Kurogane snapped out of his thoughts at hearing Fai's voice.

"What is it?" He looked up from the homework he had been doing. He wasn't able to do any as he didn't have time yesterday for… obvious reasons.

"Last night…" Fai suddenly blushed.

"What…" Kurogane cleared his throat. "What about last night?" He thought that, maybe the shorter boy had found out about his dream. Were he making sounds last night?! Did he say the other's name?! At the outside, Kurogane looked as calm and composed as ever. Inside the calm demeanour, he was panicking.

"Last night…" Fai's blush was still visible. "… and this morning. You… you called me 'Fai'."

'Oh, so that's it. I didn't notice.' Kurogane almost had a relieved expression on his face, if he had not remembered that Fai was with him. If he was obvious, Fai would ask why he was relieved and question Kurogane that might lead to him exposing his dream the night before. "What about it?" So, he spoke of the current topic they were having, rather than being looked upon suspiciously.

"I'd appreciate it if you call me Fai more often…"

"…" Kurogane thought about it, wouldn't that mean they were now very close? He wasn't expecting something like that. He gathered his things and headed for the classroom. Fai did the same and walked silently alongside the other.

The strolled with the air of silence amidst them, Fai pulled on the sleeve of Kurogane's blazer jacket. "So, are you going to call me Fai or not?" The taller boy did not miss the tone that said 'Please, I'd want that.'

"Would there be any difference if I did?"

The blond stopped in his tracks, a few steps behind the taller boy. Kurogane looked back and saw Fai as if he wanted to cry, with his head down. But when he raised his head, he had this sad smile on his face. "It just…" He sounded like he was holding back tears, "It felt nice… It was nice to hear and when you say my name, it makes me feel happy… I think…"

Kurogane gulped. Something deep inside him knew that he wouldn't want the blond to cry. IT knew Kurogane would be angry at himself if he made Fai shed tears of sadness.

Kurogane turned around, not looking at Fai. He looked at the tree tops, as if contemplating on something important. "Fine…" He opted to turn around, to find Fai directly in front of him. The blonde's face directly in front of his, like what had been this morning when they shared a very chaste kiss.

"Really?" Fai's voice full of glee. He jumped on Kurogane, who would've known it was strong enough to make both him and the taller fall down.

Fai on top of Kurogane, their faces only millimetres apart. Fai abruptly stood up and faced the other way. "I'm sorry about that… Guess I don't know my own strength…" He gave off a strained laugh.

"It's okay." Kurogane dusted himself before looking at his wrist watch after having stood up. "We should be going back."

As they walked to their classroom, a short distance was in between them. Albeit, the atmosphere surrounding the two had a different story to tell.

Another picture of confusion, another unknown emotion.

TBC…

~Extra~

Touya and Yukito had arrived at their school a little too early. There were only a few people around campus.

Yukito brought about a question that had shocked the older boy. "You like Kurogane-sempai, don't you?"

Touya dropped his bag at the sudden question. What's with that?! "I don't like him! It's you I like!"

Yukito giggled at his lover's reaction. "Touya, you know that's not what I meant."

"Huh?" Was all Touya could say.

"What I meant was, you trust him enough to leave Fai-san to him, am I right?"

"What made you say that?"

"Even though you hate Kurogane-sempai, you still want him to be around Fai-san."

"Kurogane-sempai's…" He averted eye contact with Yukito. It was okay, the albino knew he just felt rivalry towards the other. "… He's trust worthy."

Yukito just looked at Touya, then a loving smile draped over his features. "You really love Fai-san, ne? I'm kinda jealous…"

"Yuki, you know I like you a lot." Touya said as picked up his bag from the ground.

Yukito seemed to ponder about something. Then he posed cutely, though not intentionally, by slightly tilting his head to the side. "But…" He puts his index finger against his lips. "I never only liked Touya." With that, he moved closer to said boy, pecking him on the cheek.

For the second time that morning, Touya dropped his bag on the ground. What shocked him was not the kiss, it was Yukito's statement. So did that mean…

Before the other could regain his senses, Yukito took the fallen bag from the ground and walked a few steps forward. "Well? Coming?" He said as he turned his head to Touya. He full turned around and held his hand out.

Touya stared at Yukito's face, then at the boy's hand. "I don't just like Yukito as well." He said as he took the hand in his own.

"Good…"

They walked together into the school building hand in hand.
