Blah blah, I don't own ORFK.
I do own this story. Do not steal. I will hunt you down.
Chapter six
Yuichi grumbled as he walked in the front door carrying a few brown bags of groceries. Those were the worst now that money was tight, so was everything! Even if he said he would pay for most, Wataru only payed rent on the house and for things for himself lately. He didn't have much of a job except with his friend sometimes at that bar down the road, but that was maybe one night a week. Kazuki sighed a little, knowing he was probably over thinking the situation, but it seemed to him that while he as doing the work, Wataru looked pretty and acted so sweet instead of actually doing something. The little dog barked loud and ran up to Yuichi's ankle. He started biting on his pant leg and the man tried to shake him off, but it wasn't working. Wataru was supposed to put him in the bedroom for now so this wouldn't happen!
"H-hey! Off, go away, please! No biti-- F-fuck!" He yelled as he tripped to the floor and dropped the bags. The first thing you would have heard were the sounds of breaking glass jars, then red juice dripped out of the bag. Only now did Wataru wake up.
"Jesus Crist! I thought you were going to put him in the bedroom Wataru!" He yelled, seeming rather pissed since Wataru only now picked up the little puppy.
Quickly he set him in the bedroom then came out to help clean up the mess, but it wouldn't come out of the carpet as easily as he had hoped. They scrubbed and scrubbed, but it wouldn't come out.
"Great. I have to get a new carpet now." Yuichi tried to brush it off, but he was getting agitated since things like this happened more than he liked. His tone was pretty snippy, but that was because he went into work around ten and just got out at what was now six in the afternoon. Work was getting stressful for him and it was always because he had to be so showy in front of people.
Wataru figured it would be best to back off since he realized the other was in a bad mood to begin with, but this wasn't the first time. Ever since they had gone to see Asaka that time, Kazuki had been overly pissed at the fact Wataru was so forgiving. Wataru was so guilty that he couldn't, but out of his badness of saying no, he continued to talk to the man. While the two put away what hadn't broken, a little tune started to play, of his cell phone that is.
To: Wataru
From: Asaka
This already this worried him since he knew Yuichi wanted this guys head on a silver platter. So he gave the other an apologetic look before heading to their bedroom to read it.
Hey. What are you doing later tonight? I have two tickets to the winter festival down town.
- Asaka.
Great. The one he was wishing to go to all year but because of the trip to America they could not afford it. With a sigh he started to reply to the message.
Sure! I will meet you at the corner in the coffee shop. Are you alone and what time do you want meet up?
Wataru was kind of nervous as he descended the stairs. Kazuki was probably wondering what that was all about and he was right. While Kazuki was busy making some dinner for them, Wataru was just getting hungry. What he saw in the kitchen made him so content. More than that but he couldn't put a word to how he felt. Kazuki he continued to make the chicken salad for the two of them Wataru silently walked over to his lover. From behind he hugged his hips and allowed his lover to use his hands as he pleased. Hopefully the other was over their episode before.
"It has been a while since we went out you know..."
"I know, but our trip has me mon-?" Kazuki seemed ok now and even held up a fork with some chicken on it for the other to take, and Wataru happily did so.
A tune from Gravitation, [his favorite anime] stopped him short. Damn! He had forgotten to turn the volume down!Wataru blushed and took the silver phone from his pocket and turned away to read the message. By now, Kazuki was really getting pissed because he knew who's ringtone that was. It was Asaka's but he wouldn't say anything.
Meet me in an hour. Are you taking Kazuki? I am alone by the way...
- Asaka.
"Hey... I am going out tonight ok? I wanted to meet up with a friend I haven't seen in a while ok?" He said, shaking off his bad feelings as best he could.
He finished up the salads and made a little bowl for the both of them to eat together, but he didn't know if he could stand it, knowing the other was talking to Asaka! And yet he still had to watch Wataru talk to that idiot!
Ok. No I am not bringing him. I have yet to tell him. He is going out tonight anyway.
Writing that made him feel... Like he was betraying the other but it's not like they haven't hit rocks before.
"When are you going out?" The younger mumbled from the kitchen.
"Eight I won't be back until late. What do you plan on doing?"
Wataru checked his phone again before answering to check the time. Four-thirty. Kazuki would be gone before him which was a good thing.
"Oh. I will probably just watch the tube until I get tired then go to bed." What was he thinking?! Lying would get him nowhere! He did feel kind of bad since they had embraced so tenderly the night before.
He ate slowly and kept looking up at the other. Again his phone rang from a text message. At that the man on the couch got up and headed upstairs. Wataru sighed and opened his flip phone.
Oh... Are you two in a fight or something?
- Asaka
Where they? Kazuki never got angry just from being interrupted by a cell phone. But maybe it was just everything building up. Kazuki headed down in a clean pair of slacks and a white long sleeved shirt. He pulled a black canvas jacket over it. Maybe this would be a good chance to ask.
"Hey Kazuki? Can we tal-?"
"Bye." Kazuki said abruptly and slammed the door behind him.
Yes. We are.

Wataru stood in the coffee shop where he was supposed to meet Asaka. The tears at the corners of his eyes were probably because of Kazuki rather than the cold weather. The streets were lit with different colors and it was filled with the smells of pastries. Since he was sitting by the window the blue light tinted his cheeks a faded blue. The bell over the shop door rang when the opened door hit it from being opened. But the noise didn't click him out of the trance.
Asaka headed to the table where the younger boy sat. He shifted behind Wataru with a smirk that canceled out Wataru's placid line of a smile. Even though the glass revealed a mirror, Asaka was still quiet since he was not noticed. His hand was placed on Wataru's shoulder just enough for the younger to snap back to reality. He swirled around and tried to get up at the same time. Thankfully Asaka was there to catch him as he stumbled.
[[Change of view: Yuchi's POV. ]]
"See? I told you that they were together..." A blonde haired girl said as she gave a head nod towards the window. She walked next to an older boy who seemed to be at a loss for words.
"No... That can't be. It is just..." But he didn't have an excuse or anything. I thought he was staying home...
"Come on. Forget about him for now and let's have some fun!" The girl tugged on Yuichi's sleeve and the two headed down the street.
[[ End POV. ]]
Asaka linked their arms as if they were together and that was something that Wataru was too thick headed to say no to. So he just gave a soft smile and inwardly felt guilty. They headed outside to where all of the music and food was being made. They headed in the other direction from Yuichi and the girl. Too bad Wataru didn't notice the malice towards him.
Before he could stop himself, he had started dragging the boy everywere like a happy little child. Who would pass up something like this anyways? So they went to stands set up with delicious foods and drinks, but his awkward preception of the fact that he was not the host in this situation got the better of him and shrank his excitement. Asaka... no, Yuichi was supposed to be his--
Wataru turned to see the little fireworks being set off after he heard a loud boom from them, but saw something a little different. There were two figures there, and he could have sworn it was... it was...
"Your drink sir!" The man behind the stand said, holding out a warm cup of cider mixed with a tiny dab of sake. Wataru did take it, but he looked quite distracted. The crowd walking in front of him was getting in the way so he tried to dodge them to see, but then someone else caught his attention.
"Hey, let's go down to the river. They are setting off the fireworks there." Asaka said, smiling warmly at the other.
For now, Wataru couldn't be thinking of Yuichi cheating on him. Many people looked a little like Yuichi in the dark right? Maybe he was a little tipsy from the drink or something. It couldn't be. Quietly they headed to the river but instead Wataru pulled Asaka to a small pastry stand like how a little kid would beg a parent for icecream.
"Ah...! It looks so good! I should have brought money..." Wataru said with a sigh as he looked at the joyfull face of a boy who had already bought it. He made the sweet look like eating a piece of heaven rather than just an apple tart. The white frosting was already licked off.
Asaka laughed a little at the sight of the other drooling pretty much. "One please." He said to the man.
He handed him a delectable tart wrapped in wax paper. Wataru followed like a puppy and its master. He could smell the warm apple filling and stayed on that side of the man. They sat on the hill by the river and watched the little kids send out candle-lit boats. He reached for the tart but met Asaka's hand instead. Wataru tried to laugh it off but found that he left his voice at home where he should have been.
"I am going to grab a warm drink." The man said and headed off.
"What the hell?!" A pissed off figure said as it walked up to Wataru.
All the color in his face drained away. His mouth formed the name of the man in front of him but out of fear and guilt he couldn't say the name. The girl came up behind him and she seemed too happy for the situation. Wataru got up but kept his head down.
"It's not... What it looks like..." He squeeked. Already he was on the verge of tears.
"Go ahead then. Tell me what it was. You hug at our coffee shop and walk around arm in arm. Now you are sitting up here flirting with him. Tell me I am wrong! Tell me!"
Is he crying?
A firework lit the night sky, allowing Wataru to see his tear stained cheeks. But it also revealed his true feelings as well, so much anger... yet guilt.
"You kissed her didn't you." Wataru said, more of a statement then a question. "That was you... That's why you two... have the same rings... that... maybe we aren't... meant to be together."
"Maybe not."
Wataru dropped the drink in his hands as soon as Asaka came over and Kazuki looked shocked, only at that last part though. Sure he was wearing his ring, it was the match to Wataru's right? But then, the girl next to him shifted her hands into her pockets and slipped the ring off that she was wearing. The rings... all four of them were so plain right? Well on every ring, an artist or maker tends to put a mark to matching rings. There was an X on hers, then the one Kazuki wore, then a L on the one Wataru was wearing and the one Asaka had in his pocket as well. It seemed the two started to follow where the rings were taking them.
Asaka smiled on the inside deviously, but on the outside he wrapped his arms around Wataru to comfort him now that he looked like he was going to explode into tears. Kazuki was distracted when the girl wrapped her arms around one of his and both looked to each other once, then they were taken away by their hosts.

"I can't believe it. We were going to go on a trip! Just for Christmas, just the two of us with no other distractions!" Wataru was sobbing his voice was so broken that he sounded like he was just spitting out random words then calling them a sentence. The ring was still on his finger, but through his crying and yelling, he didn't notice it was there.
Asaka would have smirked at seeing the ring, but now he was getting a little bit of the guilt bug. Not too much to do anything about it unfortunately. He brought Wataru onto his lap now that they were sitting at Asaka's apartment on the couch. It was a small place, but that's because it was only for two people. Everything seemed pretty nice and classy. He pressed his lips to the back of the boys head and continued to do that nod thing yes or no whenever it was appropriate and that made Wataru feel like just a complainer.
"I am sorry." He sniffled then clung to Asaka more, feeling bad that he was doing this with the one man Kazuki hated so much. "I should talk to Kazuki. Not complain to you." He sighed a little and started to get up as to leave, but Asaka held him even closer. "Asaka... I should be getting home. I need to patch things up, I should apologize to him..."
"For what? You saw him with that girl, you saw them kiss. He deliberately wanted you to see that so the break up would be easier." Obviously all of this was a complete lie, but Wataru was weak in mind and physically at the moment. There was nothing he could do. "He was unfaithful to you. Didn't you see? They had the same rings on. Kazuki had to have had one made just for her... Meaning that this was probably going on longer than you think." Asaka set the other on the couch on his side so he wouldn't directly see the man climb over him.
Wataru didn't want to believe this, but he had no reason to think Asaka was lying to him. There was no reason that he knew of why any one would lie to him. He curled up at first, but then stretched out his body to become more comfortable. He blushed a little when he looked up because he realized how this looked and he didn't know how to say no in this situation. His glassy eyes fogged up his vision and made everything blurry. He blinked a few times, sending all those tears down his cheeks. It was the perfect opportunity and Asaka took it. He leaned down and kissed Wataru's cheeks to clear them of the tears. He placed his hand on Wataru's love handles and only listened to the good sides of the whines.
"Asaka don't... I... Yuichi..."
"What about Yuichi? He was the one who went against you." By now he was getting slightly frustrated and mostly when Wataru moved his face when Asaka tried to kiss him. "You are with that nasty man even though I can offer you so much more."
"Asaka... I can always talk to Yuichi... this can't be over. We can't be over... I know he loves like I do h--"
The older silenced him with a biting kiss and held him down to the couch with just his force. It's not that Wataru was weak, it was just that Asaka had much more strength. The kisses were biting and each felt like a bomb exploding in his heart because he knew that he was the one going against Yuichi. "Yuichi... Yuichi... I am so sorry..."

Please rate and review. Otherwise I can pretty much drop this story. It's like having no motivation for writing. The only reason I got this up was for a friend who is sick and she was encouraging me to write!
I hope you liked this! I felt I needed to get a move on and added more into this than I had planned. For all you 'smut' fans, sorry! I didn't feel like writing a rape scene as detailed as I did that last chapter. That was only for a friend of mine... Pretty much.
