The Gun and the Guitar
Chapter 11: Kumagoro Brings the beer!
K spent the rest of the afternoon getting supplies for their trip after Hiro's check-up.
Hiro had gotten a clean bill of health by the doctor. Of course the stitches would stay in for a little longer, but otherwise things were good.
He'd dropped Hiro off at the hotel and told him to let everyone know what was going on. It took a few hours to rent a minivan and to get everything he thought they'd need. But by the time he'd returned to the hotel, everyone was ready and waiting in the lobby.
"Good work, Hiro," K said excitedly, happy to see everyone here.
"Can't I just stay here at the hotel?" Yuki reasoned, standing there in cool black slacks and a crisp blue shirt.
Shuichi looked on the verge of tears.
It was magnum time! K pointed it at Yuki and declared, "Don't make my talent cry, get in the van."
"Fucking ridiculous," Yuki complained, but he got in.
"We're going to the woods?" wondered a perplexed Suguru.
"Yeah, it'll be fun!" K claimed happily.
"It's like camping?" Sakano asked.
"Exactly! Now everyone, in the van," K commanded.
Everyone got in.
Hiro called shotgun, aiming to sit in front. K grinned at him and they got in last. Hiro turned on the radio, and peered at his long-haired lover in his trusty sunglasses behind the wheel. K glanced over at him and smiled, this was going to be great!
As they drove out of the city, everyone stared out the windows. Everything was blooming with spring, gigantic walls of rock jutted out alongside the road, tall pines and maples stood proudly around them, the air was fresher. In many ways it reminded them of places outside of Tokyo. They drove through small towns, stopped for gas once.
It had only been an hour drive.
A big brown sign indicated they'd reached a provincial park. K stopped the van at a grey booth and paid a man inside of it. The man handed him three sets of keys and a map of the park.
"Welcome to Lake Simcoe," K announced when they drove in.
"The boonies," Yuki muttered. Ugh, he could already smell the scent of burning wood and decaying plant matter.
"Actually, I'm kind of excited," Sakano revealed. "Getting out of the city was a great idea, K-san. It's been way too long."
"I hear ya buddy," K drawled and drove through the campground to the area where their cabins were supposed to be located.
It didn't take long to find, since they were situated near the lake. Finally K stopped the van and everyone filed out, groaning and stretching their legs.
"Wow! Look at the water," Shuichi commented.
Everyone peered over at a large picturesque lake as the sun was just starting to set. Streams of orange and yellow danced over the soft rippling surface. There was a cry of a loon and chirping crickets all around them. It was beautiful, peaceful and everyone sighed, except Yuki.
He lit a cigarette and waved a hand at a pest-y mosquito.
K turned back at everyone. "Well, since it was not possible to rent out a cabin for everyone…I mean, NG can only dish out so much for these kind of endeavors…we have to pair up," quipped the blonde, a devilish smirk on his face.
Hiro shot K a look but his manager was too busy telling everyone who they were paired with.
"I have to share with Sakano?" Suguru whined and Sakano sweat-dropped.
"There are two rooms inside each building you know," K enlightened.
"Ohh," Suguru sounded, looking flustered. "Well then, that's alright."
"That leaves me sharing with, K…" Hiro said out loud when it dawned on him. Of course K would put Yuki and Shuichi together, so it only left them.
"Hrmph," scoffed Yuki. "Well, isn't that a surprise."
Shuichi looked at Yuki questionably.
K only grinned at Yuki mischievously.
"Supplies are in the truck, there should be enough food, water, blankets and toiletries. Take what you need and enjoy yourselves," K told them.
K handed them their keys and Shuichi skipped off excitedly, forgetting about what just happened quickly. A cabin alone with Yuki all to himself, bliss! Immediately, he began talking about what they would do first as Yuki carried their bags.
Suguru and Sakano, happy to find out there was two bedrooms, walked off to find their cabin before it got too dark.
Left alone, K looked over at Hiro and waved the cabin key between his fingers like a puppy treat, "I saved the best one for us. It's closest to the lake."
Hiro chuckled. "You are one crafty guy, K."
"Don't you forget it," K said with a wink and went to grab their stuff.
The campground was like a maze of rutty dirt roads, plots for campers divided by bushes and tall trees. Hiro passed a few campers as they headed towards their rental cabin and a little kid waved at him. He waved back. The cabins were fairly spaced apart and surrounded by woods as well.
Solitude, this was just what he needed, Hiro thought.
When they came upon their cabin, it was a neat log constructed building, two small windows and a steps leading to the door. There was nothing fancy about it, it was plain and rustic, but it had that outdoors-y appeal. Hiro found himself excited. He'd never done this sort of thing before, and now, he was going to experience it with K.
"Wow, this was a really great idea," Hiro sighed contently looking around; he noticed the dock practically at their door step. Awesome, maybe he'd go fishing.
"I'm glad you think so. I think this is my first real vacation in years," K told him.
K used the key on the door and it squeaked open. They stepped inside. Hiro found a light switch and flicked it on. A bare bulb lit the entire space. The first thing he saw was a wooden kitchen table and four wood chairs. He ventured inside, boots clunking over the clapboard floors. Further in, Hiro entered a tiny livingroom with a white wicker sofa adorned with blue cushions. And off to the right were two small rooms, each had a double bed with spring mattresses. Entering the livingroom fully, Hiro noticed a small washroom on his left, thank goodness! He wouldn't have to pee in a bush after all.
"You really are efficient K, bringing supplies for everyone," Hiro commented, as he returned to the kitchen area.
"I could've just made them catch their supper," he quipped and placed a case of beer into the fridge.
"Can you picture Yuki, fishing?" Hiro retorted.
K snickered at that. He put food into the fridge and said, "I brought new sheets and blankets. Oh, and I picked up something." K dug into a shopping bag and pulled out a woolly grey sweater with a hood. "Because the nights might get chilly…I dunno, I saw it, and it made me think of you."
Hiro smiled from ear to ear, K had shopped for him. He took the sweater, "That's sweet. Thanks." He inspected the sweater which was thick and warm looking. It seemed perfect in a place like this.
K smiled warmly back, "I think I'll have to make another trip to the truck…I couldn't carry everything in one go."
"I'll help—"
"Nope, you stay here. It's getting dark out; you might trip or something," K opened the door and stepped out, "Can't let my Hiroshi, get hurt again," his voice carried as he walked back down the woodsy path.
Hiro shook his head and went to the door, "Can you bring my guitar?!"
"Sure!" K called from the darkness.
Releasing a content sigh, Hiro went to the fridge and grabbed himself a beer. "This is the life," he said to himself and twisted the cap off the bottle. He took a sip.
Wandering into one of the bedrooms he inspected the bed. It wasn't bad, but he was glad K brought clean sheets. Hiro pressed down on it, and the spring form squeaked badly. "Well, rock on," he said impishly, they could wake up the entire park.
In moments K returned, making a racket as he placed his load of stuff on the floor. Hiro wandered out of the room, and grabbed a beer for K. He thrust the opened bottle at him.
"Thanks," K said and took a sip with a satisfied sigh. "It's so quiet, I almost don't know what to do with myself," he added with a chuckle.
"It'll be nice to see the place in the morning though," Hiro offered.
"We'll go for a walk if your leg feels alright, or fishing, or—have you ever been in a canoe?"
"No…"
"Then that's we'll do. You haven't lived life until you've been in a canoe," K confirmed and picked up the sheets and blankets. He wandered off into the bedroom.
Hiro heard that suspicious squeak again as K tested the bed too. He couldn't help it, he burst out laughing.
Then K started laughing.
They laughed so hard they had tears in their eyes.
"That stupid bed doesn't keep many secrets," Hiro said with amusement.
When they managed to stop laughing for a moment, K asked, "How about we just bring that mattress into the livingroom and sleep on the floor?"
"Sounds like a plan," Hiro said, still twitching with hilarity.
After K dragged the heavy mattress and dumped it on the livingroom floor, he started putting on the sheets. Hiro watched pleasantly and sipped his beer as K became sort of domestic. He was kneeling and bending, tucking the corners neatly, his fine butt thrust into the air—feeling frisky; Hiro went over and smacked it.
"Hey!"
Hiro giggled some more. "I couldn't help it, it was right there."
K just smirked, he was glad to see Hiro so alive and playful again. "Careful, I might get you back."
Coolly, Hiro sipped his beer. He wore a defiant face, "Why don't we forget about unpacking and just fuck."
K sat up suddenly, "Fuck?" They hadn't had intercourse since Kyoto.
Hiro saw the hesitation in K's eyes and questioned, "What's wrong?"
Tentatively, K replied, "I'm afraid of hurting you."
Hiro's face softened. "Just be gentle," he urged.
The blonde smiled, "I just want you to be ready. It's been awhile, a lot has happened."
"You're telling me? I know…that's why I want you…I miss how good you feel," Hiro insisted and began loosening his belt and unzipping his pants.
K watched Hiro's jeans slide to the floor.
Hiro noticed K's eyes land immediately on his bandaged leg. "I want us to make new memories…I want to forget the bad ones, ok?" he implored.
K watched Hiro remove his shirt and drop it next to his feet. He smiled. "You look so cute standing there like that." Hiro was shirtless, but his pants hung around his ankles and he still had his boots and underwear on.
Hiro kicked off the boots and stepped out of his pants, pulled off the drawers. "Hurry up and put on the blankets, I'm cold now!"
Laughing, K quickly unfolded a big heavy sleeping bag. "I got two but we can zip ours together into a big blanket," he explained and he took off his own shoes.
The bed looked comfortable now, after K had fixed it up. Hiro wandered over, placed his beer on the floor, on the left side of the bed. Careful of his leg, he knelt in front of K, while watching his blue eyes, and began to take off his clothes for him.
"I don't know how to explain it," Hiro started as he slipped off K's shirt. "But I feel like I can be myself around you, I can be stupid and silly and you won't laugh at me."
"Only with you"
"I never knew it could be this way with you. You're so good to me and I can't get enough."
K got up so that Hiro could undo his belt and remove his pants. He said, "Hiroshi, I thought about the same things. I think that's why I freaked out so much in Kyoto. We had something special and I knew it…but, then in my mind it was all taken away, and it hurt so much. I thought I was just a fling to you, I got so angry."
"I'm sorry," Hiro murmured.
Chuffing, K pulled his feet out of his pants. "No, don't be," K said. He stood there naked alongside Hiro. K couldn't stand the brightness of the simple bulb and went to get a candle he'd bought. Lighting the wick and setting the thick white candle on the coffee table near by, he switched off the main light. "Burr…it is colder now!" K clamored, "Hurry, lets cover up."
Both men dove under the covers and clung to each other, chuckling and sighing.
"Haha, isn't this awesome? Together in some foreign country, in a log cabin of all places, sleeping on an old mattress…just the two of us," Hiro said, hands roaming all over K's skin, he felt so good!
"It's better than awesome," K replied, leaning forward and brushing his lips to Hiro's. "Is that gentle enough?" he asked.
Hiro sighed and closed his eyes in delight. It was almost scary how enthralled he was with this man.
"It's perfect," the brunette murmured.
The snuggling quickly turned into a sexual dance, hands moved to find areas to explore and touch. Fingers feathered through hair, lips searched for places to taste.
The blonde pressed himself against the smaller man, feeling his swollen erection against his thigh.
"My sweet Hiroshi, I'd gladly take all your pain so you never got hurt again," K whispered next to the brunette's ear.
Hiro didn't know what to say, that was too poetic, sweet. So he said this, "All I want is to be with you, I want us to be exclusive—like boyfriends…is that corny?"
"Corny?" K breathed, "No, it sounds wonderful."
Hiro reached up to pull out the band that held K's hair up. "I love it when your hair is down. You know, women would kill for hair like this," he mentioned, fingers gliding along K's tresses.
"I never really thought about it. I just can't cut it off…it marks when I got into the music business. That's when I started to let it grow," K told Hiro, taking hold of the brunette's hardened flesh.
Hiro sighed and moaned. "That feels good," he purred and murmured, "Did you know that hair grows about one centimeter a month?"
K buried his face into the small cave of Hiroshi's neck and kissed, mumbling, "No, I didn't know that." Moving along, he nuzzled against soft skin and letting his cheek smooth over Hiro's
Their tongues found each other and their chit-chatting became silent with needy wet kisses. They fought for pleasure, tasting one another's sweet nectar.
K let his tongue travel lower, down the slope of Hiro's neck, down the middle of his chest, nipping one of the brunette's nipples gently.
Hiro whined and mewled. But K went lower sighing as he licked and ran his hands up along Hiro's sides. Hiro shivered. But then he gasped as K's mouth wrapped around his full cock.
Under the covers, the blonde was happy to hear Hiroshi so worked up and sucked a little harder, fingers touching and probing. He made Hiro sing and it made his own cock twitch. K's tongue wriggled back and forth, releasing throaty moans as he pleasured his lover.
Hiro could feel the vibrations from K's moans coursing through him. "Take me K, I want to feel you inside," begged Hiro with pleading eyes.
K came up from under the blankets and met steely grey eyes. He'd thought a lot about how he'd be able to take the brunette without hurting his leg. K got up and retrieved lubricant from his traveling bag and returned to a waiting Hiro.
"Lay on your right side," K encouraged.
Hiro maneuvered so his injured leg was on top. He felt K spoon behind him. Small unsteady sighs escaped passed Hiro's lips as K breathed in his ear. He felt so close to his lover, K's warm body pressed up behind him. Hiro heard K fiddle with lube and then felt the blonde move his hips back a bit, making room for his hand. K's finger slipped inside of him gently.
A gust of hot breath burst from Hiro and he let his mouth fall open. He looked back at K who watched him, planting kisses along his shoulder.
The brunette pushed back against K's fingers.
K couldn't hold back any longer and lubricated himself. Burying his face in Hiro's hair, wrapping an arm around him protectively he guided his length in.
"Mmm…" went both men.
Locked in an intimate embrace, K started to move his hips. He wanted to savor each thrust, feel the heat repeatedly washing over his cock everytime he drove it back in. Hiro was mewling.
"I'm not hurting you, am I?" K questioned, breathing heavy against Hiro's shoulder.
"No," the brunette moaned out his answer, "Don't stop, please don't stop."
K increased his speed a little, "I love you," he breathed against Hiro's ear.
It sent shivers over Hiro's skin. He turned his head back, searching for K's mouth with his own. "I love you too," Hiro sighed, their lips met and they kissed as K pumped into him.
K reached around Hiro and took hold of his length and stroked. "Come for me my beautiful, Hiroshi," he demanded feeling himself getting close.
Hiro was whimpering a little with each thrust, his body climbing to the highest peak of pleasure. It had been too long, and he wouldn't last anyways. He felt the torment of the past few weeks slip away, crushed by the onslaught of passion and love that K gave him.
Hiro gave a strangled groan, semen pumped out of him and into K's hand.
The brunette's shuddering body brought K over the edge. He clung to Hiro even tighter as the blissful pressure rushed out of him, deep inside of his lover. K unevenly sighed in satisfaction.
Both men panted and caught their breaths. K slipped himself out and simply held onto Hiro, petting his arm lovingly.
Not feeling so chilled anymore, Hiro whispered, "Let's never fight again."
K chortled lazily at that and kissed over Hiro's ear, he replied, "I won't make the same mistake twice."
"Good. And you see? I was fine," Hiro said, feeling the need to assure his lover.
"I'm glad to hear that, I was sort of nervous," K revealed, planting a kiss on Hiro's head. Everything felt normal again.
Hiro turned around so he could face K in the candlelight. He blinked sleepily, content; looking over at the man he'd given his heart to. K was staring contently back at him, a few strands of hair glued to his face from the exertion of sex. "How long are we here for?" he whispered, tucking some of that hair behind K's ear.
"One week."
"What about the Film Fest thing you talked about?"
"It'll still be there when we get back."
"Ohh…are we still going to make that music video?
"Hiro, this is no time to talk shop," K said and laughed humorously, "I don't want to talk about work for once…I want to talk about whatever, whatever comes to mind other than work."
Hiro smiled, "That's right, you're gonna tell me about yourself, I've waited a whole week…I'm so curious."
K ran the back of his finger gently along Hiro's cheek. "It's a long story and not many have heard it. Ryuichi knows some of it, Tohma knows a bit too, because he was the one that hunted me down. He knew my ex-wife and I even went to Tohma's wedding."
"Really?" Hiro asked, "I didn't know that."
"I was still pretty new at the game back then…one sec, I want my beer and a smoke," K got up and retrieved both.
Hiro let his eyes linger over K's naked body which was illuminated by the soft yellow light as he got up. Finding his own beer, he took a sip, sat it down and rest his head on his hand, comfy and sated, under the blankets again.
K rejoined him and offered Hiro a cigarette too.
Hiro took it and lit it. "So, tell me what did you do after you were in the Army? You said you went further, to do what?" Hiro questioned, starting where they'd left off in Kyoto.
"I went to school for four years and got a bachelor's degree in Law Enforcement," K replied. "I didn't like school too much, I was glad when it was over."
"A bachelor's degree? Wow, that's like four years," Hiro said astonished. "Did you want to become a cop or something?"
"A Secret Service agent..."
Hiro coughed out some smoke. "I knew it!" he gasped, "You were a spy! No wonder you got upset with that Much Music show host."
K chuckled. "Not a spy Hiroshi, but sort of like a cop. Except the Secret Service protects the U.S currency, its president, they're part of the Treasury Department." K explained to Hiro what all this meant.
"Ahh, I know now. Those guys with earpieces and black sunglasses, I saw them on a movie once…I had no idea," Hiro murmured, looking at K in a different light now. The reason K could fight so well was evident.
"Yeah, that's them," K answered humorously. "You know why they wear those glasses right? Well, it's so you can look around without others knowing where you're looking."
Hiro made an affirmative sound. "Tell me how you met Judy? After I heard her name on the show, I admit, I checked into it. She's beautiful," Hiro confessed, "A movie star…" He looked away, "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer if you don't want to."
K shrugged, "It's alright…but she is beautiful isn't she. She was the reason I got into managing. We met at some political shindig; she was with some pompous guy that was connected to some senator in California. Anyways, I was working that night…and, of course when you're an agent you're not supposed to flirt with women and stuff. But she was so daring; she blew me kisses, wandered by me and told me I was cute, stupid stuff like that…"
It was too dark to tell, but Hiro was sure K was blushing.
"I was intrigued and by the end of the night she actually hunted me down and well the rest of the night is history. She left that guy she was seeing; we got married and had Michael one year later—small wedding, just family and all that. It was then that I decided to leave the Secret Service. I didn't want to bring harm to my family, I was involved in some really dangerous stuff, plus, I discovered I had a talent for getting Judy noticed as an upcoming actress. I had her doing all kinds of things, commercials, fundraisers and magazine work etcetera, and I found it was easy to make contacts. I put myself out there, I knew the right people to talk to. It was fun, and I knew that this is what I wanted to do for people…make them famous, make use of their true talents. My gut tells me when I see a diamond in the rough…sorta like when I saw Shuichi."
Hiro nodded, he understood what K meant.
"But as the years passed, we drifted apart—she got more famous—she didn't need me anymore, and we ended up working on different ends of the planet…but its okay, I'm happy. And now…I have you," K finished and smiled. He took a drag of his smoke that had been dwindling away.
Hiro smiled too, he loved listening to K talk. There was a whole other world within the man and he wanted to be a part of that. "Do you have a best friend?" Hiro wondered. K never mentioned any close friends.
That was when K sighed. "I have one very close friend, although now he is closer to my ex-wife than he is with me."
The brunette widened his eyes, "You mean…?"
"I'm not sure, but I have my suspicions. Ark—that's his name—has pined over Judy for as long as I can remember. Now, he's her bodyguard, pretty cozy, eh?" K sipped more beer and looked over the bottle at Hiro.
"Wow…I'm not sure what I'd do if I were you."
"In some ways, I'm glad he's the one watching out for her and not some schmuck. We go way back, I met him in boot camp…but he just became a gun for hire. But we did have some crazy adventures all over the world for a couple years. We were mercenaries for a short while," K said, draining his beer and dropping his smoke into it. It went out with a hiss.
Hiro dropped his finished butt into the bottle too. "Mercenaries," Hiro repeated, "You fought for money?"
"Yeah…we decided to be on no one's side but our own. Our own rules, which means one thing," K said with a smirk.
"What?"
"Bigger guns!" K exclaimed. "Could bring all the toys a man could want."
Hiro shook his head, he should have known… But then he looked thoughtful, "Thank you for sharing that."
"No problem. I like talking to you, you actually listen," K claimed. "So, your turn, tell me about when you were a kid. I bet you were a mommy's boy." He chortled as Hiro glared back indignantly.
"You laugh K, but I have a feeling you were a mommy's boy too," Hiro countered. "You act tough, but really you're just a big pussy."
Above them rain began to patter on the roof top, there was a flash and a bang! Thunder rumbled outside. It startled both of them to silence.
"I love thunderstorms," Hiro said quietly.
Lightning flashed again.
"I like them too…" K pulled the blankets higher and nuzzled in closer to Hiro. "Let's just lie here and listen to it."
"Mmmhmm" Hiro yawned, resting his head on K's shoulder.
"Wait…did you just call me a pussy?"
Hiro woke up to a lovely aroma in the air and sleepily got up to investigate. It was morning already, the sun was out and the birds chirped their noisy song. Naked, the guitarist wandered to the small kitchenette where K was cooking breakfast.
"I didn't know you cooked," mentioned the brunette sleepily, as he squeezed up behind K who was fully dressed in jeans and black pullover.
"There's still a lot you don't know about me," quipped the blonde, turning around with a spatula in his hand. He took in Hiroshi all sleepy-eyed and naked. He purred. "This is the best morning I've had in a long, long time," he murmured incredulously, holding onto his stunning, naked lover.
Something popped in the pan, K quickly turned back around before his bacon overcooked. But he kept an arm around Hiro's shoulder as he flipped eggs and bacon.
"That smells good," Hiro said. He'd never had eggs and bacon for breakfast.
"I hope you're hungry, I know I'm starving," claimed K and left Hiro's side to make some toast in the pan since they had no toaster. "This here Hiro, is your first American breakfast…this is how I like my breakfasts. It sticks to your ribs," K explained, patting his stomach all manly like.
Snickering at K's breakfast lecture, Hiro left to put on his own jeans from yesterday, and the sweater K bought him. When he took a seat at the table, K was dishing out food onto paper plates. It was strange how much this felt like they were living together or something, having breakfast like people do. It was comfortable though, being here with K like this. Like a married couple, Hiro thought.
K sat down and they dug in.
It wasn't bad, salty, but tasty Hiro thought, it made him think of fast food. He looked over at K who was making a big sandwich out of his entire meal and ate it in merely a few bites. Hiro shook his head, he wasn't even half done. But he was used to seeing that, everyone in the band had to protect their food from K…or, he'd likely eat it all in seconds flat.
"American's must have big appetites, huh?" Hiro questioned.
"Healthy ones, yup," K nodded happily. He got up to get coffee.
On the table Hiro noticed K's lethal looking, silver magnum. With bacon-greasy fingers, Hiro reached over and picked it up.
"Ack! You're putting grease on my Maggie!" jeered K and put two coffees on the table. "Gimme that." He reached for the gun, but Hiro wouldn't let him have it.
Smiling, Hiro felt playful, "You named your gun?" He chuckled. "I'll clean it off, relax."
K sat down in a huff and watched Hiro mess with his baby. But he saw something he didn't expect; Hiro kind of looked a bit sexy with a gun in his hand.
But that didn't make it right!
"I always say that if you don't know how to use something you shouldn't play with it."
"This is true," Hiro replied, but he didn't put it down, "It's kind of heavier than I would have thought."
"Wanna learn?"
"Learn what?"
"To shoot"
Hiro thought about this, "What would I shoot; I don't want to kill anything. I made a promise to my mother."
"Of course not, look here," K said grabbing the gun out of Hiro's hand, "This here is the safety, there's an on and off switch. Right now it's on." K popped the barrel out, "Here's where the bullets go, and you put them in here and snap it back in. Everytime you make another shot, you gotta pull the hammer back…got to be careful your fingers are out of the way, or the hammer will bite you."
Hiro continued to eat his breakfast and listen; he guessed this is what couples did. Shared each others interests, but he had a feeling K could talk all day about guns…
Indeed, K went on to explain the logistics of his trusty firearm and told Hiro to get dressed after he'd eaten.
Hiro was going to learn how to shoot!
After both finished breakfast and cleaned up, they went outside in the late morning sun. K found them a nice spot to try a few rounds near the water. He set up a bunch of beer cans he'd found on a rock and came back to Hiro's side. In the blink of an eye, K whipped out his gun and shot all the cans off the rock.
"Show off," Hiro muttered, the loud bangs still ringing in his head.
The gun was thrust into his hands.
"Alright, now you try," K said gleefully and went to set up the cans again.
"You're enjoying this too much," the brunette stated and found himself with K's gun once more. This time he was being urged to shoot the damn thing. Hiro, trying to be cool about this, took careful aim and fired.
Ugh!! The kickback almost knocked him down, but K caught him.
"That shook every bone in my body," Hiro claimed wide-eyed, stunned for a moment.
K tried to keep a straight face.
"Here, come stand in front of me," K told him.
Maybe this could be sort of fun after all, Hiro then thought. He felt K sidle up behind him—feeling every bump of K's tall, lean body. This time he listened more carefully as the blonde showed him how to stand and how to aim better. Hiro looked determined to prove to K he could do this, even if the blonde had his hands held on the gun with him. Together they pulled the trigger and a can flew off the rock.
"Woohoo, we did it!" Hiro cried, ready to try that again. But K didn't move away, he was sniffing along Hiro's neck. "You look so hot like this," K purred and started kissing behind his ear when…
"Hey! Guys what'cha doing?!" Shuichi hollered as he bounded down towards the lake.
K stood up straight and backed off of Hiro. He said, "Oh, just a little gunplay. I'm teaching Hiro how to use a gun."
Hiro felt flustered, but he tried to sound cool, "Hey Shuichi, you should try this."
The singer held up his hands, "No way." Shuichi looked at Hiro as if he'd lost his mind, "Is one night alone with K making you like him? You can share with me and Yuki if you want."
"No…I like staying with K."
Shuichi blinked at Hiro.
Hiro scratched his head, "I mean…he cooked me breakfast and all that. Can't complain, right?" He waved the gun in his hand, "Actually, this is kind of fun," he claimed and took a side-stance; he aimed really carefully and shot a can off the rock all by himself.
Shuichi and K just stared unbelievingly.
Hiro grinned smugly.
Was it him? Or were his manager and best friend really chummy lately, Shuichi thought. K insisted on being by Hiro's side all the time after that attack in the city. They seemed comfortable, and now Hiro was playing with K's handgun. It was an image Shuichi never thought to envision before…but here Hiro was with a gun in his hand! Meh, maybe they'd become friends after that mugging.
"Hey guys," Yuki said lightly.
He actually sounded kind of relaxed for once.
Shuichi leaned into his lover and insisted they go for a walk. Yuki was happy to do that, just to get away from the confounded noise of a firing gun.
"See you later!" Shuichi called as they wandered off.
A few days later, Suguru, Sakano, Shuichi—dragging Yuki along, decided to build a fire near the lake and roast marshmallows. They'd spent most of their time doing their own things, just chilling out and tonight they decided to hang out together. Sakano truly looked relaxed being away from the hustle and bustle, and agreed to find some firewood that lay scattered all around in the brush. He had to hurry because the sun was beginning to set.
"Where is, Hiro and K?" Shuichi wondered, "They're missing out."
Everyone shrugged, but Yuki, glanced towards their cabin. They were in there screwing each other's brains out. He knew this because; he'd overheard them about twenty minutes ago on his way back from the washroom. Disgusting…
"Kumagoro brings beer!"
Surprised, they all looked over and saw Ryuichi, along with Tohma and Noriko. They were dressed rather casually and they seemed happy. Ryuichi held a heavy looking case of beer, looking eager to party. Although, he didn't intend on drinking it, he didn't drink, he didn't need it to party. He was already happy! All his favourite people were together in one spot.
Well that's a sight you don't see everyday, Yuki thought in regards to Ryuichi holding a beer case.
"Woo! Ryuichi! You guys came!" Shuichi cried and explained, "We were just making a fire…we're gonna roast marshmallows."
"Yummy!" Ryuichi exclaimed, placed the beer down and found a spot to sit.
Around the fire were stumps and rocks that other people must have put there during their own parties. Tohma and Noriko seemed found a seat and Tohma sat next to Yuki, Shuichi was on his other side. They told everyone that they thought it'd be fun to have a party.
Everyone was chattering, talking about the music business, drinking beer. If one were to look they'd never know they were famous people, but ordinary folks just having a good time.
"Where's Hiro and K at?" asked the president of NG.
"It's funny you ask, I haven't seen them all day," Suguru answered thoughtfully.
"Or for the last few days for that matter," Sakano said, drinking his third beer.
"Kumagoro knows a secret." Ryuichi sang and giggled.
"Kumagoro…seems to know a lot of things," K voiced sarcastically as he and Hiro walked upon everyone's party by the fire.
Everyone looked at them. K's ponytail seemed messier than usual and Hiro's cheeks looked a healthy pink colour.
"What's going here?" asked Hiro, bewildered.
"A party!" chimed Noriko, who sat next to Tohma, both were drinking beer.
Hiro chuckled, helping himself to a beer and found a big rock nearby and sat on it.
"Where were you two?" Shuichi asked spinning around to look at his best friend.
"Around," Hiro murmured, wearing that stupid grin again.
Yuki huffed.
K smirked. He too grabbed a beer and flicked the cap off Sakano's head.
"Hey!" Sakano cried, rubbing his head.
Everyone chuckled, including Sakano.
The mood was light and everyone was already a little buzzed on the beer. Yuki of course could hold his beer; he was more than grateful for the stuff. But as much as he groaned about the wilderness, he was secretly digging it. It was peaceful and he got to spend time alone with Shuichi, it was…nice.
A few more beers later, Hiro broken out his guitar, and Shuichi and Ryuichi were singing silly songs. Everyone was laughing too much.
Before they knew it, they were all drunk!
Everyone except Yuki and Ryuichi…
K sang too, even if it was off key, but nobody cared.
"Does anyone remember the Macarena?" an inebriated K offered, standing up. He was ready to shake it! Gaping, Hiro pulled him back down, "Whoa there cowboy, no one does that dance anymore."
"Let's play spin the bottle," someone said.
It was Tohma.
He was looking flushed in the cheeks and smiling goofily at Yuki.
"You all have drunk way too much," Yuki said shaking his head sadly.
"Yuki, you have to lighten up," Tohma told his brother-in-law.
"Well you're married Tohma…or do I have to remind you," Eiri charged.
Tohma waved his hand at the writer and huffed, "It's all in good fun. I haven't played that in years."
"I say we play," encouraged an unsteady, giggly Noriko, "Don't be a bunch of party poopers."
Everyone looked at each other.
Drunk out of his proverbial tree, Sakano jumped up and clamored, "Let the game begin!"
That broke the ice and everyone howled with laughter.
"HA! I love a drunk Sakano," K roared, "Fucking hilarious, we gotta do this more often." He leaned over to whisper in Hiro's ear, "Do you wanna play this?"
"It's just a dumb game, right? I don't really care," Hiro replied to K, "Do you?"
"As long as you don't get mad at me in the morning," K said.
Hiro laughed, he was tipsy and feeling devilish. He hollered, "What's that K?! You want to kiss me first!"
K looked stricken for a moment and the rest of the group looked them. But they just laughed it off, thinking Hiro was joking.
Ryuichi just sat silently, watching them happily.
The blonde began to laugh too. Hiro, sometimes, was full of surprises. Draining his beer, K leaned over and dropped the bottle on the ground, "Here, use this."
Shuichi eagerly spun the bottle to see who goes first.
It landed on Yuki.
"HA!" Noriko went. "I bet he'll just wimp out!"
Yuki groaned but he wasn't about to be called a wimp either. He leaned over and spun the long-necked bottle. It pointed at Tohma.
Everyone held their breath.
The president of NG looked to be just about glowing with glee!
Yuki groaned. It had to land on him, didn't it? "Get over it," Yuki groused and looked at Tohma who seemed rather excited. He rolled his eyes.
Shuichi sat back quietly and watched Tohma glomp Yuki with a big fat smooch, making everyone break out in a chorus of laughs.
Yuki pulled back hastily and whipped at his mouth.
Shuichi wasn't laughing, but Yuki put his arm around him. "You're the one that spun the damned bottle and decided to play this game," he said and got up to give said bottle another spin.
It landed on Hiro.
The guitarist gave the bottle a spin and it landed on Shuichi.
Best friends, looked at each other and giggled stupidly.
"This should be interesting," Suguru quipped as Hiro stood up on unbalanced feet.
Shuichi puckered up.
"Let's just make it quick," Hiro slurred and kissed his friend quickly, almost missing his mouth. His cheeks flamed.
Everyone snickered and Noriko claimed they didn't kiss long enough.
Hiro sat back down next to K. He cast him a look, but K only smiled, it hadn't bothered him.
They played a few more rounds, getting more intoxicated by the minute.
Sakano got Yuki, but the poor guy got about an inch from Yuki's wet lips before he fainted, slumping to the ground in a heap.
Everyone roared with laughter and Hiro fanned the poor producer in his over excited attempt, to kiss the sexy romance writer.
Noriko got Suguru and gave the boy some tongue, deciding to give him a kiss he would never forget.
The laughter didn't stop.
The game continued. Ryuichi got K and everyone "Ooooo'd."
"Wee! I got K-san!" Ryuichi shouted and leapt over. He sat himself on K's lap and everyone watched them kiss. Ryuichi tasted K's lips; playing with his hair…he loved K's soft hair. He pulled back with a loud smack of his lips, "Shiny!"
But Ryuichi stayed on K's lap, and while he was at it, he leaned over and gave Hiro a kiss too.
Hiro almost fell off his seat in surprise, as the singer kissed him.
Tohma was laughing until it hurt his sides.
"I'm just going to hang out with you two," Ryuichi claimed when he sat up, clinging onto K.
The guitarist blushed wildly.
"Spin for me, will ya," K asked Hiro, since Ryuichi was still perched on him.
Giggling, Hiro did just that and it landed back on himself. "I guess I have to spin again since that was K's turn," Hiro muttered.
It landed on him again.
"Go ahead and give K, a big smooch," Yuki said obnoxiously.
"I want to see lots of tongue too," Ryuichi put in eagerly from his front row seat.
Everyone laughed.
Hiro looked at K, his face flushed from the drink. His vision was unsteady, his body felt comfortably numb. And now everyone was watching them as they were allowed a moment to be intimate in front of everyone.
Hiro brought his lips to K's. Soon it was like they'd forgotten where they were, or who they were kissing in front of. Their mouths moved over each other's in a practiced way, a rhythm they'd discovered long ago and simply kissed. It was heated and wet, their mouths opened, exposing their tongues as they met.
The kiss went on for a good two minutes.
"You can stop now," Shuichi pointed out, laughing at his best friend and manager. It was so silly. But they didn't seem to hear him and he spoke up louder, "Hey guys! You kissed, we get it…you can come up for air now!"
Everyone was looking at the person next to them, snickering.
Finally, K and Hiro parted with big, goofy smiles on their faces.
"That was awesome," Ryuichi murmured, seeing the kiss up close. "Actually, I'm kind of turned on."
Hiro just waved his hand at no one in particular.
The game went on for a little longer, but eventually everyone got tired. Yuki was the first to call it a night. Without another word he left and Shuichi trailed after him. Tohma agreed, it was late and he was drunk, he wanted to sleep too. Suguru left Sakano sleeping on the beach, and Noriko wandered off to her cabin.
"Are you going to get off my lap?" K asked Ryuichi.
The singer hoped off. He grinned and spoke, "K and Hiro are in love again. That makes me happy. You're cute together...but, you can't hide it forever."
He wandered off, whistling some fast tune.
