Firstly, I want to apologize for the waiting. I watched all the episodes of the anime to continue this fic because I wanted to respect the character's personnalities and let the story mature itself. As usual, please be indulgent towards the mistakes I can do, English is not my native languauge.
Chapitre 5
When Sakuragi emerged from the locker room, his red hair already wet which that cause little drops of water to fall down from his neck to under his shirt, Rukawa gulped difficultly. He had always known that the redhead had a beautiful body with firm muscles as he couldn't restrain himself to take a look at him in the common showers. To think the redhead had offered him to be in a relationship with him was surrealist.
Even in his wildest dreams, he would not never imagine that he would have the possibility to touch this body other than to bruise him with their habitual fights.
"Eh kitsune, stop dreaming, we don't have all the night" said Hanamichi by waving his right hand in front of the raven-haired eyes.
Rukawa slapped the hand away and lead the way to the exit, followed by the auto-proclaimed tensai. He took his bicycle and started to walk with the redhead at his sides.
The silent filled the air without any of the basketmen say anything to break it. Hanamichi, who is famous for his loud personality, was uncertain about the behaviour to have. He wasn't used to be in presence of the other man in other moments than a match or their training sessions.
"Kitsune, I never asked but what is the profession of your parents? How often are they absent from Japan?
-My father is the PDG of a company specialised in basketball products and my mother is his bookkeeper. They travel a lot to expand this business"
Hanamichi was pensive. That can explain why Rukawa seemed to live comfortably and why he had a passion for basket since his childhood.
"And yours Do'aho?" asked in return, that which surprised the redhead. He was actually having a cordial conversation with his rival for the first time since their encounter. But he paled when he remembered what the question he had to answer was about.
Rukawa watched the decomposure of the redhead and decided not to push the redhead if the subject was so penible.
"We are almost arrived Do'aho" he said and he accelerated his allure. But the redhead didn't seem to have hearing him.
HIs head down, his fists were trembling, Hanamichi didn't move anymore and Rukawa had to retrace his path.
"What is happening to you Do'a' but Rukawa cannot continue his sentence by observing the tears which flowed down the redhead's cheeks.
The only time he saw the redhead cry that much was when they had been defeated by Kainan.
"Please don't watch me, I know how much I look pathetic right now" said Hanamichi by barring his eyes with his arm.
Who could he fool? He carried a feeling of guilt towards his father, who had died because of him and his mother dead by giving him birth. Yohei, who was his best friend, had always known that he wasn't so happy that it appears to others and that his self confidence was superficial, that is which permits him to survive, that and his pride.
"Why was he so upset now and why his barriers were creaking now, in front of Rukawa, all of people?"
But he had known also the answer for a long time. He was envious of Rukawa's success towards girls, envious of Rukawa skills and now he had admitted that to himself, he couldn't repress his tears when the guilt from his parent's death had submerged him.
He wanted to reach up the raven-haired youth level and he didn't want to let him leave Japan to the United States without be able to win a one against one, at least once. He believed that the fear he had during his rehabilitation period that he couldn't play basket was releasing itself as well.
Hanamichi felt that his arm was pushed and through his tears, he saw Rukawa's face near his before he felt a pair of lips on his.
He tried to back off but Rukawa maintains him and deepened the kiss, so the redhead answered with fierce, dipping his fingers in the raven hair.
When the raven-haired broke the kiss, Hanamichi shouted
"Why did you kiss me all of sudden, kitsune? Now, you have received a kiss from the tensai, you cannot wait to kiss me again?
-Would you prefer that I hit you?" sighed Rukawa, relieved that the tears had stopped and the redhead was back to his normal self.
They walked to Rukawa's house in silence and Sakuragi whisted in admiration in front of the large house.
They entered and Rukawa lead Sakuragi to the bathroom, where there is a shower and separated by a bulkhead, a large tub with oil massaging await them.
Rukawa filled in the tub with hot water and different oils, describing their virtues for his back.
"I will check what we could eat once you are finished to take your bath, I let you a towel and clothes just there and Rukawa quitted the bathroom.
Sakuragi stripped and entered in the tub, thankful that Rukawa didn't pity him or searched to know the reason of his breakdown.
Thinking again of the manner Rukawa's tongue had explored his mouth, he blushed and felt himself shiver. Relaxing himself, he almost jumped when he heard a sound of water near of him and his eyes widened when he was aware of the presence of Rukawa, naked in the shower closet.
He couldn't see anything and Rukawa cannot see him either but the idea of the both of them, completely naked, in the same room was frightening and...arousing in the same time.
The sound of water stopped and he can hear the door of the shower which was opened.
Doa'ho, the dinner will be ready soon so don't fall asleep in the tub!" shouted Rukawa with the intention to leave when he would put his clothes on.
The lack of response intrigued Rukawa who walked to the tub with a towel tied around his hips.
When Sakuragi saw Rukawa, he reddened even more but his eyes travelled down the body of the raven-haired.
"See something you like" teased Rukawa with a glimpse of lust in his eyes and a smirk.
Squatting himself in front of the tub to be at the same level of the redhead who had looked away, he cupped his cheek to turn his face towards him. The redhead had the eyes shut and his breath was laboured.
"You should have known that if you didn't answer before, I would come to you, so I want to believe that you wanted to see me naked. And who am I to deny the tensai's desires?"murmured Rukawa in the redhead's ear.
Rukawa nibbled the lobe of the redhead's ear before letting a trail of kisses in his cheeks and his neck.
He didn't want to scare the redhead but if he followed his own desires, he would fuck him right now.
So he plunged his tongue in Sakuragi's mouth, brushing his sweet appendage. Then Rukawa licked Sakuragi's lips and repeated the same motion; in and out, several times, mimicking the sexual act and the redhead's moan was approved directly by his cock.
Rukawa broke the kiss to conserve a little self-control on himself.
"You make me crazy Doa'ho" murmured the raven-haired man, resting his forehead on his.
Rukawa rose up to leave the room without noticing the smile generated by his words.
