Rivalry Stage 1
Act 5: Unexpected Change
By Amaniblue
AN: I hadn't meant to wait so long for an update. Things happened, less good and a lot of bad. I'm dealing with it. So, hopefully no more eventful things will happen and life will be back to mediocrity. I'll try to update as soon as I'm able. Thanks for reading and especially kudos to those who'd reviewed.
Summary of the last act: Takumi gets enlighten about Sagano Rui's intentions while Kenta gets rebuked by the Redsuns' leader regarding his audacity earlier on. Later, Ryousuke finally gets his chance to speak to Takumi in private.
///Top of Mt. Akagi///
Ryousuke hardly waited for an answer before he closed his eyes to half-lid and tentatively press his lips to Takumi's with a fleeting touch. He peered down at the younger man's reaction, allowing Takumi to pull away if his suspicions were unfounded.
With a shuddering breath as his heart pounded even louder, Takumi dropped his heavy eyelids then unconsciously uncrossed his arms from the back of his head and braced his hands loosely against the man leaning over him.
Burning eyes flared with triumph as Ryousuke took the sign of Takumi's light heated touch on his chest as encouragement. His blue eyes drooped in concentration as Ryousuke closed the distance between them. Butterfly breaths caressed the full lips of Takumi's while Ryousuke increased the pressure of his own lips to coax Takumi's own to relax. Tilting his head at a slight degree, Ryousuke stole his tongue across the expanse of Takumi's lower lip from one corner to the other. A gasp of surprised delight was heard loudly in the quiet night. Ryousuke took advantage of the parted lips and dipped his tongue to tease Takumi's own. Another gasp followed by a short moan was heard. Passion raged between them as Ryousuke continue to taunt the younger man with his lips and tongue. Ryousuke suckled on Takumi's lower lip while he alternated between nibbling it gently as he covered the expanse with shallow kisses and dipping his tongue within every so often.
Takumi tighten his fist on Ryousuke's shirt to anchor himself against the onslaught of new sensations. All thoughts disappeared as only Ryousuke's drugging kisses and overwhelming heat registered. Takumi tentatively returned the delightful movements as he followed Ryousuke's lead.
A whimper escaped from the man beneath him when Ryousuke dipped his tongue deeper between the cooperative lips to rub against Takumi's tongue even further. Ryousuke groaned in response as the kiss deepened. Placing his body fully on top of Takumi, Ryousuke enfolded the younger man between his embrace as one hand grasp the back of Takumi's neck and the other around the younger man's slim waist.
Takumi followed suit with a muffled moan as he relaxed his fists and glided upwards to wrap both arms around Ryousuke's neck and shoulder. The increase pressure and drugging heat left Takumi longing for more; he instinctively opened his mouth further. With a husky groan, Ryousuke voraciously assuage his thirst to taste Takumi's mouth as their shallow breaths mingled hotly.
Suddenly in the midst of the heated exchange, an unexpected ring reverberated through the vicinity alarming the two as effective as a splash of cold water. Shaking his head to rid of the passionate haze, Ryousuke abruptly detached himself from Takumi's embrace and sat up beside Takumi rather unsteadily. It took him a moment as he frantically searched for the untimely culprit.
With the lost of the pleasant weight and the rush of the cool night air on his overheated body, Takumi awoke from his own passionate haze and popped his eyes open with alarm, rounding them most enormously. His body numb from the realization, Takumi sat up shakily with labored breaths. One thought emerged; he needed to get away from the source, fast. He managed to move himself to the passenger side door before his wobbly legs collapsed beneath him and he landed on the ground rather clumsily.
Meanwhile Ryousuke succeeded in locating his still ringing cell phone and answered it. "Takahashi Ryousu..."
Keisuke's voice boomed through the air, "Aniki! Are you heading back here soon!? Kenta's driving us crazy! He thinks you're going to kick him out of the Redsuns and he can't stop yammering about it."
After a moments hesitation, Keisuke continued, "You aren't, are you?"
Having yet to recover, Ryousuke replied rather huskily, "Of course not. Don't tell him though. I want him to suffer a bit longer."
"Just hurry back here."
The Redsuns' leader heard the relief in his brother's voice and he grinned to no one in particular.
After a short pause, Keisuke ventured to ask, albeit suspiciously, "By the way, why are you breathing so heavily? Don't tell me you're actually winded from lecturing Fujiwara now are ya?"
Ryousuke smiled to himself and said dryly, "Not particularly, but he did get a tongue lashing."
"Good. You should do that more often. He gets too clueless sometimes," suggested Keisuke, not realizing his choice of words was causing Ryousuke a hard time not to erupt into a fit of uncharacteristic laughter.
The older Takahashi managed to control himself and simply replied wickedly, "You can count on it."
"Gotta go, it looks like not even Fumihiro can last that long with him. And aniki, please hurry!" With that last plea, Keisuke was gone.
Ryousuke glided a hand through his hair and tried to control his labored breath as he turned back to find Takumi missing from his side. Still perched on the bonnet, Ryousuke scanned the vicinity and found Takumi was no where in sight. Just before he was about to call out Takumi's name in bewilderment however, a slight sound of movement from the side of the hachi-roku caught his attention. Ryousuke went to investigate. There he found Takumi sitting on the ground with an arm resting on a bended knee and the other arm resting loosely on an outstretch leg. His head was tilted back to rest against the car. With his eyes closed and his chest moving steadily with deep calming breaths, Takumi looked like he was asleep. Smiling gently at the picture of serenity before him, Ryousuke took the moment to study the silent figure. Casting a silent curse to the limited lighting around them, Ryousuke could only see little traces of what occurred between them moments ago. Takumi's soft brown hair was in disarray and his parted lips were swollen. Tremendously satisfied with the effects he saw, Ryousuke grinned in appreciation.
Approaching quietly, Ryousuke crouched just within the inside of Takumi's bended knee and asked softly, "Ready to go?"
Takumi's eyes popped open instantly, and an immediate blush suffused his cheeks with color when he discovered the proximity of Ryousuke's face to his own.
"Y… yeah," stammered Takumi as he quickly got to his feet and practically ran to the driver side. Ryousuke chuckled quietly to himself, amused by Takumi's reaction.
As soon as they got into the car, Takumi sped off with great haste entirely different from Kenta's previous exit.
///Moments later, Inside Takumi's car///
With the absence of music and Keisuke's teasing banter, the atmosphere inside the car was stiflingly tense. Takumi kept avoiding eye contact with Ryousuke, while a permanent blush colored his cheeks. He also avoided touching Ryousuke as well. The Redsuns' leader merely smirked all the while as he pretended not to notice.
///Minutes later, Front entrance to Redsuns' body shop///
"Are you sure you don't want to watch me make Nakamura squirm?" questioned an amused Ryousuke as he lean just inside the open driver side window.
"Yeah, I'm sure," replied a still flustered Takumi. Although the street in front of the shop was practically deserted, he still thought it especially embarrassing after what happened earlier to look at Ryousuke or at any one else for the rest of the night for that matter.
Then suddenly, Ryousuke called out softly, "Hey."
Hesitating briefly while his curiosity got the better of him, Takumi turned his head towards Ryousuke and was met by soft lips. As before, Takumi automatically responded as his body was reduced to nothing except sensations. He parted his mouth and closed his eyes and succumbed to the delights anew. The kiss deepened immediately and Ryousuke's tongue dwelled deep within the warm cavern of Takumi's pliable mouth. With a whimper of need, Takumi tentatively responded with a flick of his own tongue to duel against Ryousuke's. The kiss ended abruptly, both panting for breath. Takumi's eyes slowly slid open to witness the intense demeanor of Ryousuke's once again.
In a gravel voice, Ryousuke breathed out, "Later."
Takumi only nodded and drove off slowly as he pondered distractedly at the diminishing figure of the older man on the rearview mirror.
Ryousuke remained on the sidewalk to watch the hachi-roku drove off into the horizon.
Another figure hidden within the shadows of the shop's front office window watched the retreating taillights of the hachi-roku as well. His hands fisted beside him as he replayed the previous scene before his confused eyes.

Review Responses:
(Sorry if I haven't responded to you yet, let me know. Thanks.)
Strawberry buttercup – Yeah, sometimes I see that Takumi is portrayed as very dense in both the manga and anime. So I tried. Plus, I personally think its one of his sexy traits.
Ultra Rodimus – I think so too. Takumi does seem like he has a split personality sometimes. I hoped you that you like what happened. No I didn't write Takumi to faint, although that would have been funny too. Hmmm, maybe an omake?
Ukestalker – Thanks. I'm glad you think it's hot. I was aiming for that. I hope you that you liked the follow up as well. There's more to come. Er, no pun intended.
SpecialK – You've been a strong supporter. And I apologize for the many updates. I really did try my best. This will be my last reposting I swear, er hopefully. Damn, old habits are hard to break ne? I'll try to update regularly.
