Rated: M for Harsh/Suggestive Words and Oral Sex

Style: Seven chapters, with a possible bonus chapter

Author's Note: Dear lord, this has been so long awaited. Trust me, there won't be this long of times between the rest of the installments. I even updated my Alphonse and Mei Chang fanfic as a gift for having people wait so long a few weeks back. Life gets busy for me. Also, a shout-out to TerrenceG9 who kept reminding me to work on this and post. Without him, this probably woulnd't have gotten done, and I wouldn't have gotten out of my writing slump. Whew! Now that that's out of the way, as always, as a reminder, this chapter is rated M, as will all chapters after this point. There will be boy on boy contact. This is a yaoi. As I said previously, I will not be vulgar, and there will not be an excess of a certain series of four letter words. I believe in providing literature and prose, not a collection of words and I believe in writing art, not smut. Thank you, and enjoy Chapter 3 of Seven of Seven, entitled "Embrace".

Day Three: Embrace

It had been a month since Beat told Neku he loved him.

A month filled and fueled by warmer touches and smiles.

They were on the cusp on their first month officially together, and the summer vacation had shut down, placing them all back into their final year of schooling. Beat still stayed at Neku's house, although it seemed that he was living there more and more, and as a result, becoming more and more comfortable around the redhead, to the point of jaw- dropping actions. Neku had learned his lesson about the blond's (lack of) modesty when he had woken up one day, walked down to the kitchen and seen Beat frying bacon naked. Neku fought back a strong blush as he remembered how comfortable the blonde was as he turned and greeted Neku, showing much more than Neku had wanted to see for the moment. It was then that Neku realized how much he needed the compnay of the freer male and how much he had missed him for the one, lonely month.

"Hey," Beat's voice echoed in Neku's mind. Neku shook his head and turned around on the couch, shifting his headphones down from his ears.

"Oh, Beat," Neku smiled, a simply twitch of the right corner of his lips that on anyone else would have looked stoic and angry, but on him, look suitable.

Beat smiled and lifted Neku's legs before sitting down on the couch. He gently placed the feet in his lap and rubbed them, chuckling. Neku twitches his toes in recognition. "Whatcha listenin' to? You looked really deep, ya know?"

Neku nodded and smiled. "Oh, I was listening to an audiobook." Beat nodded, prodding him further.

"What book?" Beat always took such great interests in Neku's likes and dislikes, even before they dated. Neku's mind flashed back to their trips to Cat Street and shared cups of coffee and bowls of curry.

"Oh, nothing interesting, just..." Neku looked down, blushing. "Just Othello." Neku felt like such a geek, sitting there enjoying Shakespeare's best work, in his opinion. Ever since he had thrown himself back into his schoolwork since The Reaper Games, he found books to be great company.

Beat smiled and nodded. "Is it good?" Neku's eyed widened, causing Beat to pout. "Hey, I might not be da most intelligent, but I'm still not dumb yo!"

Neku chuckled and smiled, patting Beat's leg affectionately. "I never thought you were. Want to listen?" Beat nodded and took the headphones from Neku, placing them over his ears. He sat still for a moment, nodding.

"Huh... Not half bad. Can I borrow?" Neku nodded, a smile fighting between his lips. Beat chuckled. "I'll listen to it tonight before bed again. I dig." Neku smiled, a true smile, only reserved for Beat. Sure, he had his Shiki and Rhyme smiles, and had even developed a half-smirk for Joshua, but only Beat was allowed to see his heart- melting teeth. "Damn, you look delicious," Beat muttered, leaning forward and dragging Neku onto him. Neku groaned, adjusting his body to where he was straddling the larger male. He prodded at the slightly capped lips, pushing his hands through silken blonde hair after he chucked Beat's hat off into the DVD stack. "Hey, I like that hat..." Neku rolled his eyes.

"Shut up and make out with me," he said icily. Beat shivered and nodded as Neku slid his lips back against Beat's, sliding his hand up the blonde's wife beater and across the hard six- pack. Beat grunted and groaned, shivering and melting under Neku's ministrations.

"Yo," he managed, his voice shaking. "Phones, you can't be doing dat. Imma end up..." Beat groaned and choked on his words, shivering and thrusting against Neku as the redhead slide his hands into Beat's cargos, gripping the strong length of flesh that seemed to jump towards Neku.

"You'll what?" Neku cooed sweetly. Another squeeze, a few hard thrusts.

Beat tossed his head back, ready to release as soon as Neku just stroked him one more time. "Imma-"

"Big brother! Are you here?" A voice soft as bells jingled through the air. A loud string of curse words, loud enough for Neku to hear a few combinations that he didn't know were possible, left Beat's mouth as he jerked up, tossing Neku to the floor. Neku flipped over, his stomach pressed against the now overturned table, his legs hanging down, bent at the knee, low enough to have his feet nearly touch his spikes.

"Yo, Rhyme! What I tell ya about givin' me space?"

Rhyme innocently leaned over the couch, chewing on her bottom lip, a set of twin braids bobbing up and down. "But you promised to go out and have a family day with me today," she sighed, pouting. "I just... thought you'd honor your promise, big bro."

"Hey... this is touching and all, but could someone help me? I'm doing yoga moves that a man shouldn't do!" Neku yelled, snarling as Rhyme jumped over the couch, helping Neku unwind. He grunted his thanks, getting up and tossing himself into the loveseat, muttering about "siblings that care too much" and "boyfriends with marbles and ramen for brains". Rhyme chuckled and smiled, standing on tip-toe to pay Neku's hair.

"I'm sorry, love," she smiled kindly, patting Neku's hand. "Do you mind if I steal Beat away? He did promise to go to Sheep Heavenly with me and to Spain Hill for lunch-dinner for our official 'bonding' day."

Neku glanced over at Beat, who was currently trying to adjust both his breathing and himself, and smiled. "Sure, take him. Just make sure he's back before bedtime." He and Rhyme shared a chuckle as Beat rose up, pulling his hat back on.

"Okay, okay, give me a minute Rhyme. Just need to change." Rhyme nodded and sat down on the couch, looking for all the world like a cupcake. Her skull cap was hand- stitched by Shiki into the form of a powder pink beret, made to fit around her braids. Intertwined into the blonde were strands of bright primary and secondary colors that matched her cute denim skirt. She tugged at the vest she wore, ever so slightly anxious to get going. It was obvious she had been waiting for weeks for this. "I'm done," Beat called, walking into the living room.

"You wore it! Thank you," Rhyme cried, jumping up to hug Beat. Although she was clearly happy, her eyes betrayed her, glowing with shock. Neku did a double take, and quickly saw why Rhyme was so surprised that Beat was dressed as he was.

Beat wore a tight, red sleeveless sweater that matched the intensity of Rhyme's tank top. He sported his typical black skull cap and necklace, but had added a few wristbands that made his outfit equal to Rhyme's. But what really made Neku do a double take was the fact that Beat had on fitted, black pants. "Don't," Beat warned, looking at Neku. "It's… It's a thing."

"What? Don't think that I'm pissed that you don't wear those at home?" Neku breathed, standing up and walking to Beat. He looped a finger through the belt loop, looking up at Beat with slightly- darkened eyes.

Rhyme chuckled in the background. "C'mon bro. It's already four, and dinner is at six, and the sale at all the Sheep Heavenly's goes off by five. I want to make sure we can hit them all!"

"Go on. Have fun, she deserves it," Neku smiled gently, waving them off. "Rhyme, pick me up a few of the parkas they have please," he said absentmindedly, handing her a wad of money. "I think that with the sale, and the buy five get two free, this should cover it. I like purple."

Rhyme nodded and smiled, mock-saluting him. "Right-o!" She grabbed Beat's wrist and waved a final good-bye, squealing that she had wasted nearly two minutes on breathing. Neku shut the door behind them, chuckling softly as he settled down into the couch.

"So, you have any ideas yet?" Rhyme asked in between petite bites of chilly and cheese coated hotdog. She sipped on a smoothie, a deadly combo of strawberries, sugar, chocolate, and mango, looking at Beat.

"Nah, yo. I don't know how to even make things good for him," Beat sighed, almost wiping his fingers on his pants. Rhyme reached over, standing on the heels of her platform, knee-hi (but thigh-high on her short frame) platform boots, and smacked Beat's hand, causing him to yell. Customers looked at him anxiously, and Rhyme chuckled, gently patting Beat's head. Beat rubbed his greasy fingers on a handkerchief that Rhyme had magically made appear.

"Well, let's see," Rhyme paused to sip her smoothie and cough lightly. She had the tact to continue, ignoring the stares of the customers. "You could go romantic."

Beat nodded. "Yeah. I still have a few days though. I'll come up with something."

Rhyme nodded and smiled, but suddenly dropped her lips. "Just don't forget. He really loves you."

Beat smiled and nodded. "Yo," he said, crossing his arms. "What could go wrong?"

"What did I tell you, big brother?"

"Don't forget."

"What did you do?"

"Forget."

Rhyme sighed and crossed her legs on the couch of Neku's house. The redhead had banned all but Rhyme and Shiki from coming. Beat had to sneak in after Rhyme had made sure that Neku was asleep, which was hard due to the fact that the redhead had demanded to have security in his house, and the polyphonic beep was loud enough to wake up all of Shibuya. Shiki sat across from Beat, shaking her head, both amazed by his determination, but angered by his ignorance.

"Beat, he even called us to set up the dinner! We helped him pick out the napkins, for gods sake!" Beat seemed to shrink into the couch as Shiki's voice grew louder. "Hell, they were even black and red napkins! Do you know how hard it is to find black and red musical shaped napkins that have the full version of the sheet music for Twister when sat next to each other?" Shiki pounced on Beat, her normally cool eyes seeming to burn with an unknown fire. "DO you know how HARD it is to cook, cook a PERFECT Chinese- styled curry with crisp fried rice? DO YOU?" Rhyme gripped Shiki about her waist, pulling her back before the brunette could claw Beat's eyes out.

"Now, now. Just because my brother doesn't want Neku is no reason to throttle him," Rhyme chided, pointing her finger at Shiki as she scolded her. She turned and looked at Beat. "Shucks brother, we even got twin Chinese dresses for this..." Rhyme stood up, taking Shiki's hand. "Well, not much we can do... However, you might want to go before-"

"Hey, Rhyme, you still here?" A voice called groggily. Rhyme waved Beat to hid behind the couch silently.

"Yeah, Neku. You... You alright?" Rhyme watched as Neku sat down on the couch, still in his yellow Chinese shirt (property of Sheep Heavenly's new special "Chinese Zodiac" line of clothing) and a pair of now damaged black slacks.

"Yeah. Where's blonde boy?" Neku muttered, crossing his legs. Shiki watched the tête-à-tête, pouting as she glared at the couch. "You alright, Shiki?" Neku asked, noticing her sharp glare.

Shiki nodded and sighed. "Yeah, just... mad." she nodded once more, a sharp jerk of her head.

Rhyme placed a hand on Neku's knee. "Love, are you okay?"

Neku sighed, leaning forward. "Yeah... I just... I wish Beat wasn't such a blockhead!" His anger erupted full force, and Beat winced behind the couch. "I mean, he says he cares, and he says he loves me, and I know it's hard for him, but sheesh!" Neku threw his hands up. "I wouldn't have gone out of my way to plan dinner for him if I didn't really l-love him!" Shiki smiled gently as Neku began to blush.

Rhyme smiled, gently squeezing Shiki's hand. "We know. Now, do you think you can forgive my brother? He really loves you. I don't think he'd have forgotten on purpose."

Neku nodded, wrapping his arms around himself. "Yeah... I can. In fact, I'll go call-" A set of strong arms wrapped around Neku as a finger pressed itself to his lips.

"I'm sorry. Please stay still," a smooth baritone voice whispered. Neku vaguely wondered when the door had been opened and two mischievous girls had slipped out.

"Yes..." Neku sat still as a set of rough fingers wrapped around his eyes.

"Open it." Neku wondered when a package had been dropped into his laps. He looked up and saw Beat seated on the table, crisp black dress pants hugging him in all the right places and a nice, light yellow button-down shirt that smelled of Armani and money and Rhyme's mysterious cunning.

Neku looked at the package and opened it, gasping. "It's..."

Beat finished. "The new line of CAT headphones. Only 25 sets in existence. Mr. H gave me the hook-up. I had to work a few days for him... hence why I kinda forgot."

Neku's eyes stung with tears, as he rubbed the back of his hand across them furiously. "I thought I was..." Beat leapt forward, hugging him tightly. Neku should be angry, but somehow, it dissolved almost instantly.

"No."

Neku liked to believe that in that moment, Beat knew what he was going to say. He leaned back and nodded, guiding his boyfriend to the couch. "Let's have a good anniversary, Phones." There was a light bit of teasing and affection hidden within the nickname, petting his leg slowly.

Neku gasped and shivered. "Okay, okay, but not on my couch. This thing needs to scotch-guarded."

"Scott-whated?" Beat raised his eyebrows and squinted in confusion. Neku chuckled, gripping Beat's hand and tugging him up and towards his bedroom.

"It's a spray-on waterproofing protection agent. It basically would keep my couch safe from... harm," Neku whispered the last word seductively.

Beat nodded eagerly, shoving Neku against his bedroom door as he fiddled with the knob. "Yeah, yeah, yo. Great, great. Shut up and kiss me." Neku smirked as he parted his pretty pink lips and licked them, tossing Beat far over the edge as they slammed to the ground inside of Neku's room.

Animal-like grunts tore through the air as Beat shoved his tongue into Neku's hot cavern of a mouth. Neku gasped and writhed beneath Beat's touch, taking in a gulp of air as his shirt, bought with Rhyme's seemingly endless supply of money, tore, the expensive silk flying through the air. Neku parted his lips, ready to serve up a hefty reprieve on how taking clothes off should go, but Beat immediately silenced him, shoving his hand between both of their hips and tugging the zippers down almost simultaneously. Neku gasped, fighting the sudden influx of red that he knew was coating his cheeks.

"Stop it," Neku grunted in response to Beat's muffled chuckles. "You know, Rhyme's going to be pissed that you did this to the clothes," he addressed. Having been able to take a quick breath.

"Rhyme's not the one that's trying to enjoy their time with you though," Beat retorted as he gave Neku's groin a soft squeeze. Neku's mouth snapped shut and his chest heaved as he tried to control himself and not totally give in. He wanted to submit, but the fear of losing control was too much.

"B-beat," he muttered, trying to keep his head from swirling.

"Neku, please," Beat whispered as he pushes Neku's pants and briefs down. "Let me love you."

This was a hard leap. Leting Beat take control would mean that Neku would no longer have full control over his emotions, but more so, he wouldn't have control over his reactions. Neku waited for a moment before slowly, and nervously, nodding. "O-okay."

Beat smiled, gentler and softer than Neku had ever seen, and Neku felt chills rush down his spine. Beat gently slid down Neku's body, shucking the remains of his clothes onto the pile of lovely strips of silk that had once formed one of the most amazing things to have ever clung to Neku's skin. He stopped as soon as he was near Neku's groin and nuzzled his inner leg, spreading the redhead's thighs gently. Neku took in a short puff of air, arching his back as he felt Beat lick a trail of now cooling saliva from the crook of his thigh to the tip of his hard erection. "B-Beat..." Beat smirked and closed his eyes in concentration, one hand holding Neku's hip down, the other stroking Neku's creamy thighs.

The redhead keened and thrust, groaning and carding his fingers through Beat's hair. He hissed as Beat bobbed his head up and down, sucking and lapping and tasting all he could of Neku for now. Neku's eye flashed a deep navy, his pupil dilating almost to edges, save for a shallow shade of blue that rivaled the deepest ocean. Neku groaned, his stomach twisting and churning. "Be-Beat! I... I feel hot," Neku crooned, his thighs shaking. He felt Beat smirk and looked down, the honeysuckle eyes of the blonde flashing darkly as he parted his lips slowly, Neku's swollen erection still held in between them. Neku gasped and watched, hand reaching down to palm his nipples, his eyes turning hazy. Beat groaned and reach down, palming himself as he chuckled low in his throat and scraped his teeth slowly town to the tip. Neku's eyes went wide and he went still. A mixture of a groan and a moan choked up into his throat as he snapped his hips forward and releases, stars and stripes and bursts of color erupting violently in front of his eyes. Neku arched his back and fell limp, completely unaware of Beat's bronzed arms wrapping about him as he tugged up a few sheets to cover them.

Beat turned his head and kissed Neku gently, his tongue twining with the redhead's. Neku groaned, the taste of himself on Beat's tongue. "B-Beat…"

Beat smiled and covered him up tightly, nuzzling his shoulder. "C'mon, let's sleep. We'll talk tomorrow." Neku turned and looked at the clock, and sighed, turning over to block of the setting sun.

"I love you," Neku whispered into the air.

Beat chuckled, tossing a pillow at Neku. "Shush! Enjoy the aftermath."

Neku pouted and smacked Beat with the pillow. "You idiot! I just confessed my love!"

Beat nodded and smiled, kissing Neku's cheek. "I was kiddin', yo. I love you too, Neku." Neku blushed as he snuggled into Beat, the warmth of his body lulling him to sleep.
