Chapter 7: Poetic Beauty

Raindrops falling from the sky
I can hear you calling out from inside
All of your emotions
Pent up love
Is creating an aura
Swallowing you up

All you wanted for me to see
Was how you truly felt for me
The words that always flow so freely
Feels and sounds like Poetic beauty

If I could paint the world with your kiss
See beauty through your eyes
Feel all of your bliss
Eternally see your smile
Enrapture all of your wit
Make your portrait in Poetic bliss

Your cherry lips taste like wine
Not perfect but just right
Tears of blood scream as they slide
Down your cheeks so divine
The heart that was once yours now belongs to me
I hold it captive
Never leave me

Your angelic face
Big blue eyes, seem captivated when I pass by
You said to me on that rainy day
That no one had ever made you feel this way
And that my hypnotic voice entraps you
My body moves in a poetic fashion
When you see me, the words just flow out
Capturing my essence your heart is screaming out.

If I could write your exquisiteness down in a poem
Eat you up until you're all gone
Take in your whole being
Capture your lips in a pleasurable kiss
Color me attractive and make the whole world non existent
Keep you under my complete management
Hoping you realize that you love only me
That would be poetic beauty

Paint my picture with your words
Call my name until you feel hoarse
Scratch my back until you make a scar
Signify to everyone that I am only you
Tell me that you love me all the time
I'll keep you safe just be only mine

Like a cardinal's color is scarlet
Write me over because I'm starving
For your love and undying affection
Our love can only be described in Poetic fashion
Beauty so striking, love so deep that it could only be described as poetic beauty

Poetic Beauty written by Ryuichi Sakuma

Tohma read the lyrics over again as he tried to come up with a musical number that would fit the lyrics description. He bit down on his pen as he leaned back in his chair and stared at his synthesizer. What type of rhythm would make the song come alive? Should he make it a slow song or should he make it something more upbeat?

"So you're having a hard time coming up with tune for the song as well huh?" Noriko asked as she sat down next to him.

Tohma nodded as he massaged his temples. He had been sitting at home all day trying to find something that would satisfy him. When he had asked Ryuichi what his idea tone would be for the song, the singer simply said that he would leave it up to Tohma and Noriko to figure that out.

He let out a groan as he reread the lyrics once more. He was expecting something less serious from the singer; he wasn't expecting something like this.

"But you have to admit," Noriko grabbed the lyrics from Tohma's hand and scanned over them. "The song turned out better than we thought. And our dear lead singer is upstairs writing another song."

The blond nodded as he sat up and placed his fingers on the keys of the synthesizer. The surface was cool and it was apparent that he hadn't touched it for over an hour. Maybe if he just played something would come up.

He turned on his synthesizer when suddenly his phone began to ring. Tohma felt a pang of annoyance as he told himself to remember to turn off the ringer as soon as he hung up. Walking over to the phone, he didn't bother to look at the caller ID before he picked it up.

"Hello."

"Seguchi-san how have you been?"

Tohma frowned as he tried to place the voice with someone he knew, but his mind was drawing up a blank. "I'm fine mister…"

"Oh yes I'm very sorry. Considering it's been almost half a year since we last spoke it's not surprising that you don't remember my voice. I'm Mr. Uesugi, the monk at Kirishigi temple in Kyoto. Remember you met with your father and me to discuss your marriage to my daughter."

"I'm so very sorry." Tohma apologized immediately. There was no way to know who he was over the phone and he felt extremely sorry for not realizing sooner. "Uesugi-san it's been a long time. How is Mika-san doing?" Tohma asked, peaking Noriko's interest. She looked over at him curious to who he was talking about.

"Mika's doing just fine, she's been wanting to meet with you again."

"Is that so? Have you and father picked a date for all of us to meet?"

"Yes it will be a week from now at eight in the evening. We will meet at Okuda's."

"Here in Tokyo?"

"Yes."

"Okay I will see you next Wednesday at 8 p.m.," Tohma responded politely.

Tohma sighed inwardly as he realized the time was edging near. The Seguchi and Uesugi family had been friends for over ten years-he had first met Mika then. She was very polite and very pretty and there was no denying that he was attractive to her. She had two little brothers name Eiri and Tatsuha. Eiri was a different one from the bunch, but he was so lively that you wouldn't think that he knew he was different. He had blond hair with blue eyes, the same as Tohma. And when they met it was like they had a connection like no other. Both knew that they were different, and they were happy that they had met someone who they could relate to.

"Tohma-san?"

"Oh yes, I'm very sorry sir," Tohma apologized when he snapped out of his thoughts.

"Oh it's okay, from what I hear you're very busy these days. It's only understandable that you would be tired. I guess I should tell Eiri that you don't have time to talk."

At hearing Mika's little brother's name Tohma's attention stuck. Eiri wanted to speak to him? About what? "If he wants to speak to me I can spare a few more minutes," he assured the man.

At the sound of that he heard the man excuse himself for a minute before he heard the bubbly child say hello into the phone.

"Seguchi san?"

"Y-yes?"

"I have a question to ask you?" Eiri said in a sudden whisper.

Tohma couldn't help but to be curious at what he wanted to ask. It wasn't everyday that he would lend his time to a thirteen year old boy. "Sure what is it?"

"Well there is a girl in my class name Kaori and she says that she likes me, but mostly because of my hair and eyes. I've always liked her so I was thinking about telling her that I would become her boyfriend. But she only likes me because she thinks I'm half american. I told her that I was Japanese but she said that no one who is Japanese would have my hair and eye color. However even after that I still like her, should I tell her yes?"

Tohma listened to his question and explanation and took everything in. He knew how that felt, to be wanted by everyone and yet be hated by others because of his looks. A lot of girls only wanted him because they thought he was a foreigner as well. Well there was no denying that he was half American. His mother had an affair while in business in Florida and that resulted in him. His father decided he needed an heir and would accept Tohma, but that would explain their strained relationship.

Eiri came about from something similar, except the foreigner was in the American navy and she met him here in Japan. Eiri's father had yet to tell him the truth of his origin, but he was getting old enough so eventually he was bound to figure it out.

Funny how two different people could share the same experience without knowing each other.

"I say date her and see what happens. If you like her, this is your chance to show her who you are."

"I wanted to but I wasn't sure, thank you for the advice. I knew if I had to ask anyone it would be you, since we're alike," Eiri chirped.

Tohma smiled, "no problem Eiri, I'll see you next week."

"Sure thing," he said before hanging up.

He inhaled as he sat down the phone. His eyes glanced over at his friend who was staring at him quite amused.

"That was interesting."

Tohma rolled his eyes and looked over at Noriko. "I am the only one he can relate to."

"How's that?"

"He has blond hair and blue eyes too…"

"Oh…" Noriko answered.

"Both of us were brought into this world under the same circumstances," he added to clarify. "And besides he's Mika's little brother I have to play nice."

"Mika?" Noriko asked as she looked at her friend for an explanation.

"Yea well I guess I failed to mention her." Tohma said as he sat down and rested his head on Noriko's arm. "Mika is my future fiancée. My dad made one stipulation when I told him I wanted to do this band. We agreed that I would enter an arranged marriage and take over the company in the future."

Noriko exhaled at hearing this. She thought it was strange that Tohma had been able to do what he wanted without any commotion from his family, and this was why.

"What will you do with Ryuichi?"

"What about me?" a voice called out from behind them.

The two jumped, surprised at the fact that he was right behind them.

"Nothing at all Ryu-chan," Noriko reassured.

Ryuichi gave her a suspicious glance as he watched her excuse herself and leave. Tohma was silently cursing her for leaving him in this uncomfortable situation. Not knowing how to explain to Ryu who Mika was, he was thinking about topics to change the subject when his concentration was disrupted by the singer sitting down next to him and resting his head on his shoulder.

"Tohma, I'm halfway done with the second song."

"Really?" Tohma asked as he leaned his head onto the singer's and glanced at the clock. "That's good considering you've only been working on the song for only an hour."

"Uh huh," Ryuichi responded with a yawn.

Tohma lifted his head as he gently pushed Ryuichi's bang out of his eyes. It had been two week since he had confronted Takashi and the blond hadn't heard anything from him or about him. So he had taken those two weeks to get to know Ryuichi inside and out. It was pretty easy to read him once you got use to it, and now Tohma considered himself an expert at reading the singer.

During the two weeks also Ryuichi had grown use to Tohma and he was more open with him, physically and emotionally. Though they had not done anything extreme, they were pretty comfortable with each other.

"Ryuichi," Tohma said softly as he stroked his head. "You should go and take a nap to reenergize yourself."

"I don't need a nap," he protested as he let out another yawn.

Tohma chuckled, "that yawn says otherwise."

"I could just be bored."

"Are you ever bored around me?"

Ryuichi didn't respond verbally, but he did cross his arms around his chest and shake his head no. Tohma found himself wanting to hug him tightly but he knew he had to keep his composure. He had to tell Ryuichi about Mika soon before he found out on his own. God knows how he will react if he just happen to hear about Tohma's engagement.

"Ryuichi I want to…"

"I think I'll try to finish that song now," Ryuichi interrupted.

What the…Tohma thought to him self as he watched Ryuichi stand up and stretch.

"Ryuichi I really think we should talk about this now." While I have the guts to bring it up.

"Well I don't want to," he responded stubbornly.

"You don't even know what it's about." Tohma said becoming a bit annoyed.

"You're fiancé. This is about you telling me about Mika-san." Ryuichi said as he exhaled. It seemed like he had gotten what he wanted to say off of his chest. "Its fine, this stuff is expected." He responded with a shrug.

How do you know about Mika? "Is that all?" he asked looking up at the singer.

"What else is there to say? I'll start looking for another place to stay soon." He said as he began to walk away.

No this isn't why I wanted to tell you, Tohma thought to himself as he watched Ryuichi walk away. However it did save him the stress of having to tell him about the engagement. But he had no intentions of asking Ryuichi to move out. He was going to be clear that he didn't want to officially marry her for a few more years. That meant that she wouldn't live with him until then and would most likely stay in Kyoto.

Standing up, he walked back to the room where Ryuichi was in. When he opened the door he noticed the singer staring outside of the window in a daze. He wasn't happy about the engagement at all, it was clearly written on his face.

"I wonder how Takashi's been doing." Ryuichi said, sensing Tohma's presence. "I haven't been able to contact him, but I've been too busy to go over to his place. I think I'll stop by later."

Tohma's eye twitched at the thought of Ryuichi running back to Takashi. They had made so much progress the past few weeks and he didn't want it all to be thrown to the wayside because of this marriage that meant absolutely nothing to him.

"I don't want you to go back to him," Tohma stated bluntly. "And I also don't want you to move out. No…I won't let you move out."

Ryuichi turned around and looked at Tohma. His expression showed that he was conflicted and didn't know how to respond. "You're getting married, it's only natural for your fiancé to come and live with you. I don't think she will be too happy about our relationship."

Tohma rolled his eyes as he walked over and sat next to the singer. He wrapped his arm around his waist as he laid his chin on his shoulder. "I don't care if she approves, I'm not marrying her for love. This marriage will benefit the Uesugi family greatly and that's the only reason for it. Also it will benefit my family in ways unknown to me. You're the one that I have feelings for, not her. If I have it my way she won't even live with me after we're married."

"That's cold."

"It's the truth, can you blame me?"

"It's wrong."

"So but being with you is right and I will do almost anything to make that stay the same."

"Almost anything?"

"I can NOT get married, I promised my father."

Ryuichi gave Tohma an irritated glance as he lightly pushed him off of his shoulder and stood up. "I refuse to continue to be around you like this when you're married."

Tohma frowned at the remark as he stood up behind Ryuichi. He wrapped his arms around him, pinning his arms to his sides. He wanted him to understand and not be so stubborn. Though he could understand why he was being the way he was, this was not a situation he could change.

"Ryu…"

"Let me go Tohma," he said softly.

"Not until you hear me out." Why was he being so difficult?

"I can't…I can't come second to another. Not again. Eventually you're going to grow tired of being stretched too thin and you're going to leave me, so I'm backing away now." He responded. Tohma could hear his voice shaking, as he felt his body tense. "Tohma…you know what I've been through. I can't have you leave me too."

Tohma exhales as he threw his head back. Leave him? That's what he was trying to explain, he had no intentions of doing anything of the sort. He loosened his grip on Ryuichi as he turned him around to face him. He wasn't surprise to see tears flowing freely down his cheeks, but it did infuriate him that he was the one that caused the pain.

"Ryu…ichi…" he whispered as he gently wiped his tear stained cheeks with his thumb. This was something he had been trying to protect the singer from. He didn't want him to have any reason to cry other than for something joyful.

"Tohma I love you, I don't want you to leave me," he said in-between sobs.

Lo-love?! Tohma thought to himself astonished. He expected that Ryuichi liked him a lot but love? He was surprised none the less but that didn't stop his heart beat from rising drastically. No one had ever said that they loved him before, nor had Tohma ever been in love. All he knew was that he wanted to protect Ryuichi and he wasn't going to give him up for anyone? Was that love? But how in such a short time?

"Ryuichi I…" How could he express his feelings? He knew that it was more than being attracted to him. He wanted to spend all of his free time with the singer. He loved to wake up in the morning and see him halfway off of the bed. He was messy, noisy, sometimes a bit too childish, but the blond found himself not caring much. He even now had a fiancée and he still wasn't going to give Ryuichi up.

"I…" he stuttered as he tried to put his feelings into words.

"Tohma?" Ryuichi asked a bit concerned.

Tohma wanted him. Not just sexually, he just wanted to hold him in his arms, kiss him, and overwhelm him with affection. What was this emotion that he was feeling? He didn't have an answer because he didn't know what love felt like because he had never been in love. He didn't even think he loved his own parents.

Do I love him? He asked himself as he stared at Ryuichi.

He didn't have an answer at the moment, but all he knew was that he needed him. Leaning him, he gently kissed his lips and then pulled away. He could feel himself becoming excited but yet weak at the contact. Every time they kissed he felt this, some girls called it butterflies, but Tohma would never say something so feminine. His hands roamed up to Ryuichi's face as his left hand brushed his bangs from his eyes once again while the other one stayed put on his cheek.

He slowly backed up and sat down on the bed, tugging Ryuichi to follow his lead. The singer complied and straddled the blonde's hips as he looked down at Tohma with a gentle smile.

Tohma looked up at Ryuichi as he became nervous. He had initiated this, but he had never had this type of intercourse before.

"Just go with it, don't worry about it." Ryuichi whispered sensing his partner's nervousness quickly as he leaned down and captured Tohma's lips in a passionate lock. The blond was taken back by the sudden aggressiveness but went with it. He was going to allow himself to be taught while still having dominant control. He wanted this for himself and to reassure Ryuichi that he wasn't going anywhere. Placing his hands on his waist, Tohma wasn't sure where he should put his hands next. What places made a male feel good? Was it the same as a woman or…

Before he could waste anymore time thinking, he felt Ryuichi's hands softly take a hold of his and lead them to his chest. The blond had always noticed Ryuichi's great physique, and he touched him a few times, but not in this manner. The singer pulled away from the kiss but didn't say a word. He led Tohma's hands slowly from his stomach to his chest.

Everything was so sensual that Tohma couldn't help but to get extremely turned on by this one little act. It was as if Ryuichi was silently telling him to explore his body and that it was okay not to rush things.

Ryuichi let go of his hands and took off his shirt while Tohma continued to gently touch his stomach and chest. He let himself feel ever inch of Ryuichi's washboard stomach and very firm chest.

He kissed his stomach as his hands made their way to his back. Ryuichi was muscular but he was also very small. It was like holding a woman, which made Tohma feel a great deal more confident since he knew where and how to touch a woman.

As his tongued glided over his chest, his hands massaged his back. He could hear Ryuichi cooing with pleasure as he rubbed his head gently.

"How do you like it to be done?" Tohma asked with his lips still on Ryuichi's skin.

The singer looked down at him, his eyes were clouded over with lust and that just turned Tohma on even more. Beautiful was the only word to describe Ryuichi Sakuma. Calling him "cute" or "handsome" didn't do his features any justice.

"Anyway you want to give it to me," he answered as he kissed Tohma's forehead.

Anyway huh?

Tohma thought to himself as he suddenly flipped Ryuichi over onto the bed. Startled by the suddenly change of pace, the singer looked up at him surprised as Tohma took off his shirt. The moment he felt their skin collide he could no longer control himself.

This felt much different from all of the other times he had sex. He felt so many emotions within him, but they all came down to how much he wanted to be inside of him. How much he wanted to see his features when they became one. He wanted Ryuichi to be his and only his.

From then on, the clothing of the two was removed quickly. Tohma told himself to slow down but he felt like a kid who was going to get a new bike. He didn't want to wait, he wanted it now. He wanted to devour this man underneath him, it seemed like there was no end to his lust when suddenly he was flipped over and Ryuichi was now on top.

He kissed Tohma's forehead as he whispered that he loved him. His small lips traced kisses all the way down to Tohma's cock that was throbbing from want.

Ryuichi kissed the tip of the head as he gently licked the pre-come off of the opening. He looked up at Tohma as he did it and the blond couldn't restrain himself from grabbing him and taking him completely. So he watched as his cock was soon sheathed into Ryuichi's mouth completely. The suddenly surged caused a loud moan to escape his lips. His partner's mouth was so warm, he wanted to come but he knew he had to hold on, at least for a little while. He soon felt the singer humming as he applied a great deal of suction on him. It felt so good; the only thing he could do to keep himself from grabbing Ryuichi was to take a hold of his held. Tohma began to gently thrust into Ryuichi's mouth, as the singer bobbed to the same rhythm. He wanted pictured himself inside of Ryuichi's other hole, as he continued to thrust. Feeling like he had to do something, he instructed the singer to climb back onto of him so he could pleasure him as well.

Letting Tohma's cock fall out of his mouth, Ryuichi positioned himself into a sixty-nine position on top of Tohma. He quickly took a hold of the blonde's member again, without warning. Tohma let out a loud moan as he grabbed a hold of Ryuichi's cock. He sucked the pre come off of the tip as he licked it while it hung above him. His hand then roamed to Ryuichi's entrance as he slid one of his fingers inside.

He felt Ryuichi's mouth loosen a bit as he felt him moan. The blonde maneuvered his finger a bit more before sticking in a second finger, soon followed by a third. By this time Ryuichi was feeling too much pleasure to continue giving Tohma oral sex, and the blond didn't mind.

Tohma removed his fingers, and licked his opening; his hands massaged his testicles as he listened to the singer's excessive moaning. His voice sounded so beautiful, as if he was singing a sweet song of irrepressible ecstasy. He was squirming, and his knees were becoming weak. Tohma rolled over so that he was now on top so that he could continue pleasuring his lover without him having to strain to keep his balance.

"Tohma," Ryuichi moaned as Tohma lost himself in pleasuring Ryuichi. Just listening to his moans and squeals was more than what he needed. Knowing that he was making him feel good was always good enough.

He then turned himself around so that he was once again face to face with Ryu. "I love you," he breathed as he kissed him passionately. He used his arm to prop his leg up as he eased his way into Ryuichi. He deepened his kiss as he continued to enter the singer. He was so tight and it felt so good. Ryuichi's nails dug into his back as Tohma stopped kissing him and whispered with concern.

"Am I hurting you?"

"No…Tohma you feel so good, don't stop." Ryuichi whined.

Tohma began to suck on Ryuichi's neck as he finally made his way completely inside of him. He had to take a moment to gather himself so that things wouldn't end prematurely.

He kissed Ryuichi as he pent his hands above his head and began to thrust roughly. At the first thrust, Ryuichi screamed out in pleasure. Tohma couldn't help but to look at his features. He was in heaven; the real world did not long matter to him.

He thrusted again, and he heard another yelp followed by a few I love yous. While continuing to keep his hands pent up, Tohma started excessively thrusting as Ryuichi screamed out. The bed creaked loudly and the head board beat against the wall with massive force. Tohma didn't even consider his neighbors as he became lost in Ryuichi, lost in their love making, lost in his moans and continuous I love yous'.

Ryuichi managed to free his hands and began to claw at Tohma's back.

"I love you so much," he yelled as he kissed Tohma passionately.

The blond grabbed his hair as he tugged it gently; he pent Ryuichi's arms back above him with both of his hands as he continued to thrust. He wanted to look at him, see his lust filled features, and remember ever expression he made.

Sweat began to pour down his face as he felt himself wanting to come. But he knew he couldn't Ryuichi did.

"I…I…." Ryuichi moaned out in a high pitched voice.

Tohma continued to thrust as he brought his body to Ryuichi's. He could feel Ryuichi's cock in between their stomachs.

"I love you Ryuichi," he whispered again as he felt the man come underneath him. He felt him jerk a few times as he tried to push as much out as possible.

Tohma began to slow down and was about to stop when suddenly Ryuichi grabbed him. "No don't stop until you've came." He instructed.

Noticing how tired Ryuichi was he didn't want to over exert him, but he really wanted to come. So he continued to thrust quickly until he came roughly five minutes later.

Both of them just laid there in a puddle of sweat and bodily fluids. Neither said anything because everything had been said. Realizing his feelings himself, the blond just laid there with the person he loved in his arms.
