Chapter Three:
Akihito was lying there, trying to come down from the high. He heard what Asami said and he sat up. He stared at the yakuza like the man lost his mind. Never before did Asami ask him out. He asked dumbly, "What?"
"We are going out for dinner tonight." Asami repeated as he lit up a cigarette. He was still hard but that could wait for later.
Akihito stared at the older man once again thinking Asami lost his mind. He leaned forward and questioned, "Why?" He didn't want to be seen in public with the yakuza. It was dangerous for everyone. He would be more of a target and others will find out about his crazy relationship with Asami. He didn't need that.
"You are my lover and I just realized I haven't taken you out." Asami responded as he stared deep into hazel eyes. He would never let others have what was his. He pulled the younger man onto his lap, sealing those lips into a heated kiss. He refused to let the other say anything against it. When the kiss was broken, he mumbled against those lips, "I doubt you have anything else to do or someone else waiting for you." He made sure to say those words in a warning tone.
Akihito gulped down a lump in his throat. He couldn't let Asami find out about Maya. Asami would harm her and he didn't want that. He always protected Maya and he would do it this time to. He nodded his head and lied, "It will be great going out." It won't be great. If someone saw them, like the police, then they would think he could gain information or that he was involved with Asami's dealings. It was dangerous but something about that excited him.
Asami could see the lies in those eyes and it made a rage build inside of him. He ran his hand over Akihito's neck. He asked coldly, "There isn't anyone else, right?" Akihito shook his head quickly and he knew it was a lie. He didn't like to be lied to. He took those lying lips into a rough kiss, forcing his tongue inside the photographer's mouth. He would make sure Akihito would never dream of another.
Akihito was drowning and he hated it. This man could be the end of him or make him insane. He had to rise out of the darkness that engulfed Asami. He had a life before he met this man. He had something to dream about. He felt his tongue roughly attacked and it turned him on. Why was this making him hot when it shouldn't? Why was he attracted to the danger that came off of Asami? He was roughly pushed onto the seat once again and he felt the hardness against his thigh. This made me feel the heat through his body again. What was it about Asami that made him in this state? Maya never could get this kind of reaction out of him but his heart belonged to her. He told her to leave with her family back then. He knew if he kept her here back then, she would have been unhappy. She loved her family and hated to be apart from them.
Pulling back, Asami smirked down at his young lover. Sitting up, controlling himself, he spoke, "We are at your apartment. I'll pick you up at seven. Wear a suit." He watched as Akihito stumbled out of the limo, glaring at him and he smirked again. Yes, those eyes were always lit with fire and he refused to watch them burn out. What did this boy do to him?
Akihito watched as the limo drove away. He looked up at the sky. It was sunny out, not a single cloud in it. He felt horrible. He didn't know what he felt anymore. Once again, he blamed the yakuza. It was so simple before he met the older man. He moved away from the curve and went up the stairs. He had to look for a suit. He had to go tonight even though he didn't want to. He couldn't let Asami know about Maya. It would only bring pain to her and he refused to see that look on her face again. He remembered when he saw it on her face.
'Aki, I can stay.' Maya whispered.
'No you can't. You hate not being near your parents.' Akihito explained as he stared into her sad blue eyes. He pushed some of her brown hair out of her face and continued with his words, 'Go to America.'
'Don't you love me?' Maya asked.
'I love you more than anything but I know you will be unhappy if you stay.' Akihito responded.
'I will be sad away from you too. It is a no win here.' Maya whispered against Akihito's lips.
All he saw were those sad eyes. They read so much pain but he convinced her to go with her parents. At the time, he wasn't working. He couldn't ask his parents to take her in. He always thought once he worked, he could see about her coming back. He started to live on his own and realized he would have to hit it big. Then he heard she was becoming a great model and he couldn't drag her away from her dreams. He stopped in front of his door and sighed, "Then my life went through hell. I met him and everything went downhill."
At a hotel, Maya stared out the glass window, only wearing a robe. She sighed sadly. Her heart still belonged to Akihito. She dated a few guys while in America but none of them gave her what the photographer gave her. Her father never did like Akihito. He was always against them seeing each other but never stepped in the way. She laid her head against the warm glass. To see him again was like heaven. Then it was hell when she realized he had someone else. He told her it was just sex but she knew better. Akihito was never the type to just have sex with someone. There was more to the relationship and to be honest with herself she hated it. She shook her head and mumbled, "I have no right to step in the way. It was me who stopped calling and answering his calls. I pulled back to let him live his life." She pulled away from the window and walked into the living area. She flopped onto the nice brown couch, sighing in sadness again. Her heart felt like it was crumbling into pieces.
At Akihito's home, he flopped onto the beat up couch. He couldn't afford a new nice one. He leaned back and sighed. His thoughts were circling around Asami and Maya and he couldn't get them straight. He didn't want Asami to hurt Maya. He closed his eyes picturing how Asami made him feel. It drove him up the wall. The danger and the thrill of it all drove a flame in him that he couldn't put out. He remembered the way Asami's lips felt against his own, claiming him over and over again. He felt his hand slide down his clothe body to his groin. He rubbed himself as he tried to picture the way Maya looked while they were having sex. He wanted to know he was normal. Suddenly her blue eyes changed to golden ones. He snapped his eyes opened and removed his hand. He screamed, "WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO ME!" He couldn't even act normal. There was a knock at the door and he stood up, embarrassed. What if they heard what he said? He walked to the door and opened it to see his friends standing there. They walked in without being invited in.
Kou asked, "What got you screaming at the top of your lungs? We heard you all the way down the stairs." He flopped onto the couch and put his legs up on the small table.
Takato leaned against the wall, watching Akihito closely. Since Akihito came back from being held by the long hair man, he hasn't been the same. It got him worried. Akihito would disappear on them while they were out; always making the excuse that he had work to do. He knew if Akihito was working, he would have brought more camera stuff and the last time he checked that wasn't the case.
Akihito told some of the truth, "Maya is back." They knew about their relationship. Then again, they all hung out together. Maya trying to keep them from getting into trouble. Of course, that didn't work out too well. They always managed to get into some kind of trouble. He walked into the living room and sat next to Kou.
"Wow. Damn. I mean, she's back. You had it bad for her and now you have this rich lady. You two timing dog." Kou joked but he stopped laughing as he saw the look of despair on Akihito's face. Touching his friend's shoulder, he spoke, "It was a joke. Just break it off with the rich lady and be with the only one who meant anything to you."
Akihito wanted to laugh madly. This wasn't that simple. He couldn't break it off with Asami. He was stuck and drowning more than ever. He told part of the truth, "It isn't that simple."
"Yeah, it is." Takato remarked, "Go with the person who means everything to you."
"You mean you are falling for the rich woman?" Kou asked as he watched his friend closely.
Shaking his head, Akihito stood up as he explained, "This relationship isn't one I can walk out on. You have no clue what could happen. If it found out about Maya, it could ruin her chances for her dreams."
"Oh my. You saying this woman have enough power and money to pull strings to make sure Maya doesn't have work?" Kou asked, for once being smart.
Akihito flopped back down on the couch, leaning his head back and he answered, "Yes and that is what I fear the most." He didn't want harm to befall on Maya.
Takato walked over and stared at his friend. He spoke, "You aren't telling us everything. There is more than you are letting on." Akihito looked at him with guilt in his eyes. He stated, "Whatever it is, it will not push us away. Damn, Aki, this isn't you. You always have told us everything. All the sudden, you hide everything from us. We are your friends if you have forgot."
Akihito stared at his two friends with guilt. How does one explain what he is in? What would they do if they knew the entire truth? He wasn't ready to spill about everything. He stood up and paced the small room. He knew they were looking at him with worry in their eyes. He spoke without stopping his pacing, "You would never understand."
"We would if you explained it to us." Takato retorted. He hated to see his friend like this.
Akihito leaned against the wall, staring at his two friends. Smiling sadly, he spoke, "But I'm not ready to tell anyone." There was no way he was going to reveal anything. It was too dangerous. If he spoke it out loud, it will turn real. He wasn't ready for that. He pushed away from the wall and looked down at the floor. He was so lost and confused that it hurt.
"Damn it, Aki! Keeping it inside will never help you! You haven't been the same since you got back from that long hair man!" Takato screamed while Kou grabbed a hold of his arm to stop him from marching over to Akihito.
Akihito looked up at his friends who have always been there for him. He knew they would step in the way and knowing Asami, the man might hurt them. Shaking his head, he retorted, "This is my problem and mine alone." He couldn't say anything and risk everything. He shook his head and mumbled, "Let's change the subject. I only have a few hours before I have to go out."
"Work?" Kou asked.
"Yeah." Akihito lied, not ready to hear more about the topic of Asami.
At a model studio, Asami leaned against the wall. He stared around the entire place like he owned it. Then again, he did own it. Kirishima walked to him and pointed out a girl. He smirked at seeing the girl that Akihito was seen with. He could ruin her right now and here. He could have made sure Akihito stopped seeing her if he told him what he knew. He crossed his arms in front of his chest. No, he wouldn't do it. He wanted Akihito to choose him, to only see him and know for a fact that he was the only one for him. He watched how Maya moved in her low cut red dress. What did she have that he didn't? What could Akihito see in her? He glanced to the side to see a tall man walk toward her. He saw him wrap his arms around Maya's thin waist. Her blue eyes glanced back and he could see she didn't want the attention. He pulled away from the wall, walking toward the two. He grabbed a hold of the man's arm, pulling him away from Maya. Maya gasp in surprised and he glared at the poor fool.
"Hey. You got a thing for her too. Wait your turn." The man spoke rudely which got everyone to stop doing what they were doing and staring at them.
Asami smirked and replied coldly, "Afraid I am already taken but it would seem this girl doesn't want your attention."
Maya watched as the man who was hitting on her throw a punch at the man that came to help. She was ready to scream for the guards until she saw the man with golden eyes block the punch. A big man with glasses came over and grabbed a hold of the man who started trouble, pulling him away. She sighed in relief, "Thank you so much. He has been trying it with me since I got here."
"You have to be strict and tell them you don't want anything with them." Asami remarked.
"I told him my interest laid somewhere else but he wasn't taking the hint." Maya replied.
Asami felt his rage rise again. He knew she was speaking about his photographer. He didn't like that at all. He learned more about her relationship with Akihito. It would seem they were very close. Akihito brought a ring but returned it. It meant his boy was going to ask this girl to marry him. Oh, yes he could ruin this girl with his power and money but he knew it would push Akihito away from him more. He smiled and replied, "Some guys don't get that."
She smiled back and joked, "And you do get it?"
Asami chuckled, "Not at all. I am very pushy when I want someone." Maya laughed and it sounded beautiful. He could see some of the reasons why his boy liked her. He was different than her. He was cold toward his lover and showed his feelings through sex. He could see she showed her emotions through her eyes and voice. He asked, "What is the guy you are interest like?"
"He is sweet even though he does find trouble. I guess the thrill that he gives me has always been a turn on." Maya answered as he felt relief to finally talk to someone about the man she has dreamt about for years. She leaned against the chair and sighed sadly, "We were so close when we were teenagers. He and I were never apart. Sadly, my parents moved to America and he told me to go with them. Now, I'm back, I notice he has someone else." She looked at the man and shook her head. She chuckled, "I must be boring you. This isn't your problem but I'm talking to you like you are my therapist."
Tilting his head, Asami asked, "He told you that?"
Maya sighed, "No, but I could tell. He has moved on but he doesn't want to admit it." She gave a sad look, shaking her head. She moved away from the chair and spoke, "It would be nice just to be his friend even though I want more." She heard her name being called and mumbled, "It was a pleasure talking to you, hmm…"
"Asami Ryuuichi." Asami gave his name freely as he watched the girl.
She smiled at him and replied, "Thank you once again, Asami-san." She walked away still feeling the world was on her shoulders. She could go to Akihito and tell him everything but he had someone else. She couldn't cry on his shoulder when he was with another person. It wouldn't be right for the other woman in his life.
Kirishima walked over and spoke calmly, "The man has been taught a lesson, sir. Do you wish to see the manager here?"
"No need." Asami replied. Foolish of his lover to think he could go back to his life. There was no hope for Akihito now. He walked away with his guard following him. He could easily end this game right now. He had the power to end the girl's career in Japan. He could easily get Akihito to do whatever he asked by threatening the girl. He won't do that. He will watch amused as Akihito tried to fight what they had between each other. He knew his boy fell for him. It was shown on the ship when he got Akihito back.
At Akihito's apartment, he stared into a mirror. He looked mature right now. His hair was comb down and parted right. He was in a nice suit, the only one he had. He walked away from the mirror. Tonight meant something but he wasn't sure what. It wasn't like Asami to take him out somewhere. He thought about Maya again. They used to go to places all the time and enjoy themselves, but it wasn't like this. There was something exciting going out with Asami. He was once again comparing the two. He could have everything with Maya, a life that was respected. When did he start to care what others thought of him? He usually told them to shove off and leave him alone. He shook his head and walked out of his apartment. He waited by the curve. He wasn't ready for Asami to knock on his apartment in front of people. The limo drove up right on time. To his horror, Asami stepped out of the limo. He stared into those golden eyes. Before he could say a word, his lips were sealed into a heated kiss, driving his mind blank.
Around the corner, Kou and Takato stared with widened eyes. Takato whispered, "It's a guy."
Kou mumbled back, "The same guy from New Year's. No wonder why he didn't want to tell us."
