"So? Do I now have the right to know what that encounter meant?" Fuji asked looking straight ahead.
Tezuka and he were driving home from a very tiring, if not brutally boring party. Fuji tried to keep silent until they were few kilometers away from the place. And now that he finally managed to ask the question that has long been plaguing his mind, he immediately regretted the act.
"I didn't realize it bothered you a lot."
"I swear, it didn't." Fuji said.
"I doubt that."
"Why don't you just answer my question?"
Tezuka nodded.
"Well…..Leanne wants my help about something personal."
Fuji nodded, remembering the thing that Tezuka whispered on his ear when they were still at the party. Fuji slightly felt himself blushing again. Crap. That Leanne's really starting to get so irritating at times.
"…and what did you tell her?"
Tezuka thought for a while, focusing his sight on the road ahead, one hand holding the car's steering wheel, and the other on Fuji's leg.
"That she just needs to have more confidence, and do what she usually does when we were still together."
Fuji glared at him. If Leanne was indeed having trouble with his sex life with Oshitari, then Tezuka was definitely not the right person to give her some advices.
"Stupid." Fuji mumbled.
They stayed silent for the rest of the drive. Fuji knew Leanne was just being stupid. Confidence? Who was she fooling around? Every living organism on earth knew how much confidence she's got. Problem with her sex life? Hardly. Leanne knows how to handle 'that', and Oshitari doesn't look a bit like the person who's too naïve and ignorant about it as well. They're a perfect match; physically and mentally.
"We're here." Tezuka said as they arrived at Fuji's apartment.
They get out of the car and headed inside. Fuji was not at all in the mood to do some more talking. Not that he was tired. He just lost the drive to speak more after what he heard. He very well knew what Leanne's up to. Well, that 's practically the benefit for working with somebody for over three years. Reading his editor was not at all difficult.
"Call me when you're free tomorrow." Tezuka said as he planted a soft kiss on Fuji's cheek.
"Where are you going?"
"Home."
Fuji groaned in annoyance. "Can't you just stay?"
"Can I?"
Instead of answering the novelist's question, he clutched Tezuka's suit and pulled him closer to a ravishing kiss. Right…he missed this. Having Tezuka warm body against him was one of the things he missed most when they're together. Call him sexually active or what, he didn't care. He just missed Tezuka's attention.
"Guess I can.." Tezuka whispered when Fuji freed his lips.
It didn't take long before they started ravishing each other's lips again. Fuji was supposed to be the one who's taking control about everything here. Yet there he was, breathless and dazed with all the wonders Tezuka was doing to him. It has only been a bit more than two weeks since they last have sex, but it already felt like eternity to Fuji. Kissing was not enough. He wanted something more. And that's exactly the reason why he didn't react when Tezuka pushed him down on the nearest couch.
"Careful…the couch's practically not that big for the both of us.." Fuji said with a giggle before welcoming Tezuka's lovely assault to his equally willing lips.
"You're perfume's too strong." Tezuka commented in between kisses on Fuji's neck.
"..but you still love it.."
Tezuka answered him with another mind-blowing kiss on the lips. The novelist's hand went on unbuttoning Fuji's shirt, all the while caressing the warm skin beneath it.
"You know what, it's really easier if you take off your shirt first."
"After I take off yours."
"Silly."
Fine. Whatever went on with Tezuka and Leanne, Fuji just had to forget it. What's important now is Tezuka's affection directed solely to him. Sounds reassuring.
"Syusuke?!"
Both Fuji and Tezuka abruptly stopped in their ministrations upon hearing the voice coming from the doorway.
The shocked and confused reaction on Yumiko's face welcomed the two.
"…n-neesan….." Fuji muttered, eyes wide open at the sight of the equally shocked expression of his sister.
"I'm…this is…."
Tezuka who was hovering over Fuji's body had now moved away and stood up.
"Yumiko." he greeted.
Yumiko looked at the two guys in disbelief. She was somehow aware of her brother's sexual preference, but seeing him doing 'that' thing, with Tezuka off all people, was still surprising.
"What-..Are you two together?!" she asked, surprised with the intensity of her own voice.
Tezuka slightly turned to Fuji before nodding. Yumiko gaped, still unable to recover from the initial blow of surprise.
"Nee-san….We're – "
"Wait. How?...I mean..this is…Since when?"
Syusuke sighed and settled himself well on the couch. He didn't mind buttoning his shirt once more, since Tezuka's going to take it off later anyway.
"Not that long. Nee-san, look..I promise to explain everything later. Just not tonight. We're….I'm really not in the mood."
Yumiko, still shocked, just nodded as she tried to gain back her composure. If her brother had any plans of killing her of heart attack, now might have been one of the almost successful attempts. Almost. Good thing she has gained a sort of immunity to her brother's fancies in their years of living together. Still, 'this' remained a surprise.
"Tezuka-kun….." she muttered with a blush. "….Are you….I mean…I think you know what I mean."
"Not exactly Yumiko. But yes, Syusuke and I are going out, …and yes, we already had sex."
Yumiko swallowed hard, and took some time to process what the novelist said. It seems like her brother was not the only one who has the intent of killing her in a heart attack.
"..but..Tezuka…."
"…and I love your brother, Yumiko…" Tezuka added, without batting an eye to Fuji who had by then his head down as he hid the blush that crept on his face.
Did Tezuka really just said that he loved him?
….Or was it just….
"I see.." Yumiko mumbled. "I didn't know….I thought you two were just…..I don't know….I'm sorry…"
"You don't have to be sorry nee-san….Nothing's wrong." Fuji manage to say, despite his heart's still wild heartbeat.
Damn that Kunimitsu Tezuka for suddenly catching him off guard. The confession was just too sudden that he even didn't have enough time to sort everything out.
Yumiko sighed and smiled.
"Well…I can't say anything more…I just….I just hope you take care of Syusuke…I…."
Both of the guys heard Yumiko gave one more sigh. Perhaps she's still 'that' surprised..
Few moments of silenced passed before Yumiko looked at the two of them straight in the eyes.
"Ok. I'll go now. Explanations can wait later Syusuke…I just dropped by to check you out, but I guess I don't have reasons to worry. Go ahead and continue. I'll go now." she said as she gave a meaningful smile to his brother, who in turn, gave her a nod.
One thing Fuji loved about his relationship with her sister was the fact that they need no words to communicate with each other. Their actions speak for them.
When Yumiko was out of sight, Tezuka sat back beside Fuji and brought his arms around the tensai's shoulders.
"That was easy." he commented.
Fuji just nodded as he leaned his head on Tezuka's chest. He heaved a sigh as he closed his eyes and listened to the mild beating of the novelist's heart.
"Syusuke.."
Fuji raised his head, and welcomed Tezuka's soft lips against his.
He's not really that romantic, but as how he sees it now, the situation's more than just romantic.
"Did you mean that?" Fuji asked the moment they parted.
"Mean what?"
"…that you…love me.." he mumbled, looking straight at Tezuka's eyes, and reading the emotions he could possibly see in there.
Tezuka answered him with a peck on his lips.
"I do."
Fuji smiled as he once again leaned up for a kiss.
"You're really rude, Tezuka…." he commented in between kisses.
Tezuka just deepened their kiss as he once again took advantage of Fuji's exposed body.
"Let's go up..I don't want to have back aches tomorrow.." Fuji whispered.
"..I doubt if the bed's a guarantee that you wouldn't get one.." Tezuka answered with a smile as he licked Fuji's bottom lip.
"Whatever.."
They then went up Fuji's room, and spend the rest of the night doing their stuff.
"I've hear from Fuji that you came in with Tezuka.." Oshitari said while comfortably lying down on bed with Leanne on his arms.
"Yeah.."
"….So how was it?"
Leanne looked at her boyfriend.
"How was what?"
"Your plan of making Fuji angry.." Oshitari said with a knowing grin.
Leanne laughed at the statement. So Oshitari really did know. Impressive.
"Well…..just a bit successful….You see….I think they're just fine. I was worried for Tezuka, actually..I thought he was only dating Fuji because of what happened between us.."
"Funny. You're more worried for your ex than your own subordinate."
Leanne smiled as she snuggled closer to Oshitari. "Believe me…Fuji can take care of himself more than anyone else."
"I see.."
Later that evening, when Oshitari finally had fallen completely asleep, Leanne got up on bed and headed to the kitchen where she poured herself a glass of cold water. She sighed as she recalled what had happened earlier on the party. It's true that both men cared for each other. Fuji especially. But still, Leanne couldn't get herself to forget the look on Tezuka's eyes on her every time they talk about something.
Leanne emptied her glass in one gulp.
Tezuka still has feelings for her…..one thing that she dreaded to admit. She can read him, and she knew very well how the novelist well, and the fact that Tezuka pretends to be so oblivious of everything really feels bad.
Leanne knew it was very hard to forget someone who you used to love before, but it can't be helped. What was once a good experience between them shall now remain a memory. That's how things work, and no matter how Tezuka sees this, that's just how it is.
Still….
"L-Leanne…" Tezuka's voice came after the third ring of his phone. Leanne frowned .
"Are you alright? Your voice sound restrained.." she commented. On the other line, she could barely hear ragged breathing and groans, and…she smiled.
"Am I, by any chance, disturbing something?"
"N-No..It's fine..What can I help you?" Tezuka said almost spitting every word in one second, in an attempt to finish the conversation faster. It felt hard for him to control his voice when Fuji straddling him, and doing all the wonders of pushing down while Tezuka's cock is buried deep on the other's ass.
"Nothing..just checking you out. I haven't gave you my formal goodbyes for going ahead. Oshitari came earlier than what's expected." she said, enjoying the fact that Tezuka was having a hard time talking to her while fucking Fuji all at the same time.
"So Tezuka…." Leanne continued. " How was your – "
"Shut up Leanne!" came Fuji's voice from the other line. Bingo. Leanne smiled upon realizing that she was right.
The line eventually went dead, but that was fine. She enjoyed their short talk , anyway.
Author's Note:
*nods*..Yes..Leanne should just shut up..
Anyway, any comments?
Thanks for the read!
