AN: Hello again, sorry for the long absence. I have been all over the place (hanging with the in-laws and other such things) and then I got struck by writer's block and rather than forcing the story and giving you some half-assed fic I decided to just wait until inspiration came back. This chapter is not as funny and cracky as the last ones but it is a lot longer. I do hope you find it up to standard and enjoy reading it. Next chapter will be a bit different too as we get to see the POV of some of the other ukes, I already have a big chunk on Usami and Misaki written and will update this fic again after I update my other stuff so it will be a while yet.
Special thanks to Ashida for betaing and putting up with my weirdness really late at night. You are GREAT!
I still don't own Finder Series… wonders if sensei will sell it in exchange for my other hopes and dreams…

It was five a.m. on Monday, Akihito lay on top of Asami, his body covered in a fine sheen of sweat and other bodily fluids after a very intense round of sex. 'Should I count this for the challenge? After all, it's already Monday. Fuck it, I'm counting this one, but should I count it as one or four? I'm going to have to talk to Tao about this.'
Suddenly an idea occurred to him, a brilliant idea that would ensure his success. He was going to hurt like hell by the end of the two days but hey, why not? What's the worst that could happen?
"Asami?" He said quietly.
"Huh?" Responded the man, absentmindedly.
Akihito moved to place his mouth directly on Asami's ear. His voice took a seductive and wanton tone as he whispered words he would surely regret later, at the same time he rubbed his body on Asami's, making sure to rub his hardening erection against Asami's cock.
"How about you stay home today and we christen the condo like newlyweds in their new home?"
His hand snaked Asami's chest and trailed a path down to the rising flesh, pumping it as he kissed his older lover's neck and gave small sucks and bites in between.
"I promise to be a good boy and do everything you say…" Akihito stroked the hard shaft a bit harder.
'Oh, I like how this week is starting.' Thought Asami as his right hand grabbed the phone on the small table next to the bed and pressed the speed dial.
"Kirishima, I'm not going to work today-" Akihito interrupted him and spoke into his ear one more time accentuating each word with a nibble on his earlobe.
"Or tomorrow, you are not going to work tomorrow."
"I am not going to work today or tomorrow. You are in charge until then."
Asami hung up before Kirishima was even able to give him a reply, and turned to devour his lover's mouth with a heated kiss. He was definitely enjoying this particular challenge, and even though he wasn't expecting Akihito to ask him to stay home for the two days, he would be a fool if he did not take full advantage of the situation.
Asami was having a field day, he now understood what people meant by "feeling like a kid in a candy store" every time their eyes met, regardless of where in the house they were, it was like a personal challenge to get things hot and sticky. Akihito was not resisting his advances at all, even when he was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, and Asami stood behind him to fondle him as he stirred the food. Normally Akihito would throw a fit and yell at him to get away.
Today he simply turned off the stove, moved the pot from the heated surface and let himself be driven mad by Asami's caresses. They had sex with Akihito on the counter, then the floor, after that was against the fridge, then the floor again and finally against the frame of the kitchen's door. They ended up ordering food, because during one of their mindless scrambles in the kitchen, the pot with the food, thankfully by now cold, flew up in the air and covered them both. Which resulted in seriously hot shower fun, followed by more kitchen floor sex while Akihito tried to clean the mess up. He just could not resist a naked Akihito on his fours with a wet rag, leaving trails of cum from their little stop in the hallway behind him as it leaked from his pink pucker.
Sometime on Monday afternoon, Kirishima interrupted their fun on the now three legged dining room table with a constant ringing of Asami's phone. They had ignored the first fifteen calls but now it was beginning to get on both their nerves. Asami swore softly and pulled out of Akihito to answer the phone, his tone of voice was murderous as he spoke.
"Asami"
"Sir. We have a problem with the delivery today. They tied to double cross us, should I make a move?"
"Do we know if it was just the delivery person or the whole group?" He said into the phone, walking to his office to talk business.
"Our informant said the order came from above." Asami sat on his office chair listening to Kirishima explain the ramifications of the situation.
He could get rid of the delivery crew and use the group for a couple more deals before wiping them all out. Asami contemplated how to go about it while Kirishima continued to speak.
Akihito got fed up with waiting, he almost went to their room to get dressed, but he thought better about it, it was no use getting dressed when the clothes were going to come off anyway, and he saw the perfect opportunity to get the most points. Asami was in the office, the office that was worth thirty points.
Akihito entered the office like it was something he did every day. Asami was listening to Kirishima intently and lifted an eyebrow at Akihito when he saw him come into the office. His little lover never came into the office unless he had to do some cleaning, especially if he was in the office talking business, they had an unspoken rule to stay out of each other's work. Then he remembered the reason he was at home today. He fought to prevent a smirk from appearing on his face, and let Akihito make his move.
The blonde moved to stand beside him and leaned forward to kiss him passionately, then turned the chair around and kneeled before him. Hazel eyes looked up at him heatedly as pink lips parted to take him in.
"Kill them all." He said to his secretary, and hung up the phone to enjoy his lover's uncharacteristic forwardness and willingness.
****VF****
Wednesday morning, Akihito lay limp on his stomach on his bed, talking to Tao on the phone and whining about how much his ass and back hurt.
"Tao, I swear to God I'm going to kill you for this."
"Why me?! You guys are the ones who come up with this stuff. I'm just the judge of the contest… an innocent bystander. Besides, you were the one who suggested –very suggestively from what you told me- to Asami that he should stay home Monday and Tuesday. It's not my fault you can't even get up… no, that my friend is entirely on you."
"He was like an insatiable beast! At some point I did not even bother putting clothes on anymore, which proved to be a serious lack of judgment on my part because it just seemed to encourage him even more. I better win this damned challenge or I'm killing someone as soon as I can walk without looking like some kind of penguin. And to top it all, now Kirishima is pissed at me because he had to work triple his normal amount for two whole days… he won't even speak to me!"
"Why do you care that he won't speak to you?"
"I am out of painkillers Tao, and Asami told me to call Kirishima if I needed something, but Kirishima won't answer the phone. He is really pissed at me."
"Then call Suoh."
"I don't know about that…"
"Then deal with your pain like a man."
"I don't want to!"
"Ask your friends to bring you some then."
"I haven't told them where I live or about my relation with Asami yet."
"How long are you going to postpone that?! Seriously Aki you are ridiculous sometimes."
"I just haven't found the right time."
"You are never going to 'find' the time Aki, you have to make the time."
"You are right… I'm going to Call Suoh and then see when I can meet with the guys."
"Do you have everything for today?"
"Yeah… I don't know how to go about it, though seeing Asami with a facial mask will be hilarious."
"You have your work cut out for you Aki, I don't see Asami-san complying with the face mask or the toenail polish."
"Nah, I got it all figured out. It will not be so bad."
"Really? How so?"
"After a relaxing bath and massage with candles, soothing music and the whole nine yards I will give him a cup of tea with crushed sleeping pills. Then when he falls asleep I can do the facial and paint his nails as well as the pictures."
"That is kind of cheating…"
"Ahhh but it's not… you did not specify that he had to be awake nor aware of it. So how I go about the challenge is up to my own discretion. It's your fault really for not being specific enough."
"You are spending too much time with Asami, Akihito. You are becoming quite conniving… he is definitely rubbing off on you"
"Eventually I have to learn a thing or two from that man."
****VF****
Wednesday night, Asami contemplated the ridicule of today's challenge. Could he suffer through it for Akihito? Yes. Would he do it? Definitely… not. Did he feel bad for disqualifying Akihito on this particular challenge? Not really.
He would rather stay in the office and endure Kirishima's mothering and report obsession than the ridicule of letting Akihito play Picasso with his face and toenails. He would appreciate the pampering, but will never be the butt of jokes for Akihito's and his friend's entertainment. As much as he did not want to, he was going to stay in the office and take care of piles of paperwork. He was so focused on his paperwork that he neglected to send Akihito a message letting his lover know not to wait up for him.
Akihito ended up falling asleep on the couch while waiting for Asami all night long.
****VF****
Thursday morning Akihito was on the phone with Tao. The conversation was loud enough as Akihito screamed his anger that his voice could be heard all the way to the condo's front door.
"Hell no! Not going to happen!"
"Why not?"
"Because he ditched me last night! I waited for him all night long and he never came home! He is still not here and it's almost noon!"
"He didn't know Aki..." Tao gave a sigh at his friend's anger.
"I don't care! He still should have come home so I at least had a chance at trying to convince him. He didn't even tell me he was not coming home!"
He didn't realize Asami had just entered the condo as he paces in their room screaming into the phone.
"Then you will be disqualified for today."
"I don't give a shit if I'm disqualified! I'm not wearing girl underwear for a man who does not deserve it. He can ride himself for all I care."
Asami began to worry. He was really looking forward to a lace cowboy. He even had strategically placed cameras ready to take pictures and videos to commemorate the event, and save them for posterity... or his personal computer's wall paper... whatever came first.
At that moment, he began to think of a way to placate his irate lover to end up getting what he wanted.
He stepped into the hallway outside of his condo's front door and closed it soundlessly behind him. Asami took out his phone and pressed the speed dial.
"Kirishima."
"What can I do for you Asami-sama?"
"Close SkyBlue restaurant for the rest of the day and make sure it's prepared for a lunch appointment with Akihito. You have thirty minutes."
"Yes Sir."
He went back into his condo and made a point to make noise when he closed the door so Akihito would know he was back. A minute after he had closed the door, Akihito came out of the bedroom and walked to the living room where Asami met him. The blonde's face expressed his anger as he narrowed his eyes at Asami and growled lowly.
"I hope you are not hungry, because I am not making you anything."
"That's okay, you don't need to cook for me."
Akihito stomped his way to the kitchen with Asami following closely behind him. The young photographer stood on the tip of his toes to reach one of the cabinets on the wall and reached in to pull out a box of cereal. He was hungry but did not feel like cooking. Asami interrupted him from pouring cereal into a bowl by holding his wrist and turning him around to kiss him as Akihito glared at him.
"Akihito, go change into something nice…"
"Are you implying there is something wrong with my clothes?"
Sigh.
"There are many things wrong with your choice of wardrobe, but that is not the issue at the moment. I wanted you to change into something nicer so we could go out for lunch and spend some time together."
"You are joking right?"
"Do I ever joke?"
"Oh my God! You are serious. Is… Is this… like a date?"
"You can label it whatever you want."
Asami had not affirmed it was a date, but he did not deny it either, which in Akihito's book. it meant it was indeed a date. He was going on a date… with Asami! His heart jumped in his chest and he ran to the bedroom to change into one of the suits Asami had forced on him before the man changed his mind.
Their lunch date has been great and Akihito was so happy about the fact that Asami had taken time off to take him out and spend time with him, that he completely forgot about his lover not showing up the previous night.
Mid afternoon, Asami sat on the couch having a drink and petting the soft blond hair, Akihito had been resting his head on his thighs and suddenly got up from his spot. Asami had been waiting all afternoon for Akihito to forget how pissed he was and concentrate on all the ridiculous things Asami had done to make him feel happy. Finally, his efforts had paid off, ten minutes later Akihito came out of the room wearing a transparent pink and red lace baby doll tied at the breast area with a small pink ribbon, and with matching lace boy short type panties. The blond wore garters and thigh high white stockings, high heels – which he had to practice walking with since he got them so he wouldn't kill himself – and a cowboy hat that strangely did not clash with the lingerie. He could bet all his money on the fact that his little lover had to talk himself into wearing the provocative outfit, Akihito's face was completely red and he could tell the boy was still uncomfortable about the lingerie.
The view was very enticing and Asami gave a low growl of approval as he watched Akihito walk seductively toward him and straddle him. His young lover kissed him, until they were both out of breath and spoke to him while looking straight to his golden eyes.
"How about I give you the ride of your life?"
Another low growl and Asami stood up holding Akihito in his arms and taking him to their bedroom. The cameras had been installed there and there was no way he was not recording this.
After riding Asami for as long as he could, Akihito began to feel too sensitive to continue and his lover decided to help him out by taking control of the situation while still keeping Akihito above him.
"No more… Asami… I can't anymore." He said between moans.
"Tell me Akihito, do you enjoy wearing these things for me?" he said as he held on to Akihito's hips and thrusting upwards into his lover.
"Who… would enjoy… that… kind of thing?"
"Your capacity for self denial still astonishes me. It doesn't matter, your body speaks for itself, the truths your mouth likes to deny."
****VF****
It was finally Friday, Asami sat before a round table in a room at Sion, a glass tumbler with fine scotch rested on top of the wooden surface and a flat screen was on the wall opposite to him like a sleeping giant waiting for its moment to shine. He was waiting for his guests to arrive, it was a rather diverse group for his Friday night meeting, and he hoped that they would show up. It will be a very interesting night and he had the prospect of making some important business connections to sweeten things up. He turned on the TV, which was connected to the video feed from his penthouse cameras.
It was an hour until the guests showed up for their impromptu card game, and another hour and a half for his surprise show. That is, if after he got to know these people better he decided to tell them about their lover's little games. In the mean time, he was watching his lover talk to his friends about all kinds of uninteresting things while he waited.
****VF****
The boys were in the middle of a meaningless discussion about a manga and Tao was already considering traveling to Korea and Japan and shooting them all. He needed to veer the conversation toward something more entertaining before he lost his sanity.
"So… Misaki," He interrupted. "I started and finished reading all of Usami-sensei's works, they were very interesting."
"Oh, really? I still have not finished his first book…"
"I particularly enjoyed a book series of his, very informative and detailed…" Said Tao, wiggling his eyebrows to hint the double meaning of his words.
"What book series?" Misaki was panicking. Tao could not have found out about those books, it would be disastrous.
"I have a feeling dear Misaki that you already know what I'm talking about." More eyebrow wiggling ensued and everyone else had stopped talking to pay attention to them.
"Please don't tell me you read THAT."
"Oh yeah I did. It was VERY graphic."
"Urgh" Misaki began to hit his forehead on the table and mope like a wounded animal. "How did you even know it was his work?"
"Hello… Child of the underworld, heir to the white snake… I have connections Misaki, and I use them when I find something interesting."
"What are you two talking about?" Ayase was very interested in the progression of the conversation.
"NOTHIN!" shouted Misaki
"Misaki's man has some rather interesting novels. You should check them out it's a rather naughty book series."
"I thought he wrote serious novels." Akihito had no idea where Tao was going with this.
"Apparently he has a particularly sexy book series he works on as a hobby."
"Can you two stop beating around the bush and tell us already what this book series is so we can check it out? The suspense in this conversation is already killing me." Mizuki really wanted to know what the book series was about.
"Tao please don't, I beg of you."
"But Misaki what kind of friend would I be if I did not tease you about being the main character in a BL books series."
Poor Misaki went from blank faced to red faced in under five seconds, while everyone's mouth hung open in shock.
"It really is quite hot." Said Tao
"I totally want to read it!" Akihito and Mizuki both shouted at the same time.
"God no!" Misaki was hitting his forehead on the table again.
"Why not?" Ewon had decided to stop doing his college homework and join the conversation.
"Because it's embarrassing that's why!"
Everyone stared at Misaki with the same look saying 'Like all the stuff we do and talk about is not embarrassing enough already.'
Misaki gave in to the pressure.
"Fine! You can read the damn books just don't talk to me about them"
"I'm glad you agree, because I already sent everyone copies of them and the box should be arriving by next week. Tell me something Misaki, have you tried any of the things in the BL books"
Asami was glad Akihito was going to receive copies of the BL novels, he thought maybe if they were based on real life, he could use some of the information in them to coerce Usami into doing favors for him if he ever needed it.
"Can we just change the topic? I have to deal with those perverted books enough as it is." Misaki was starting to feel cornered and Tao decided it was best to stop teasing him.
"Fine. Let's move the conversation to our challenges, Tao you got the floor." Said Akihito, for once he did not have to worry about Asami coming home, and he actually wanted to hear more about the BL books, but Misaki was already at the end of his rope with this particular line of conversation.
Tao addressed his friends and they all quieted down.
"This week's winners. For "Tour around home" is Akihito with eight hundred and thirty six points. At first I was confused by the number and thought that he must have exaggerated by a lot but then I had a conversation with him about it on Wednesday and he looked like one of those feather dusters with all its feathers ruffled up, so I am sure he did not lie about it. Especially after he told me in way more detail than I cared for how he convinced Asami to stay home for two whole days. " Asami had a very self satisfied smirk plastered to his face, as the group took in the meaning behind such a large number. He felt like the ultimate alpha dog at this moment, it was not a feeling he was not familiar with but in this context it was… different, better.
"Holy shit man! How did you survive that?"
"I would have passed out and gone into a sex coma…"
"I barely did… I assure you I felt like I would die from the pain for all of Wednesday."
"Moving on…." Tao interrupted before the conversation got out of hand "The winner for "Spa day" is Misaki with the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen, Akihito was disqualified because Asami did not show up on Wednesday, and Ayase because he chickened out after the massage and did not get to the facial or the toe nail polish, so it was between Ewon, Misaki and Mizuki. Before I show you this piece of comedic gold I will show you the runner ups"
Tao showed the pictures of Mookyul and Kudou, the boys giggled and made comments about their looks, but they were not as funny as expected, obviously Mizuki and Ewon did not want to go too far with it. Then Tao showed the picture of Usami and the silence was so complete you could have heard a fly die. The silence was broken by a collective laugh and a flood of comments and questions. Asami watched in horror what could have been him and thanked God for his decision not to allow Akihito to ridicule him in this way. Poor Usami-sensei did not even look aware of what Misaki had done to him.
'I made the right choice, Akihito would very likely had taken it even further.' Thought the golden eyed yakuza.
Usami Akihiko had cucumber slices on his eyes, and an avocado green facial mask as well purple and pink nails. The crowning jewel of these photographs was the combination of ruby red lipstick paired with clip on granny earrings and fifteen to twenty little baby bows of all colors all over the silver hair.
"Oh. Dear. God!"
"You did not! How did you do it?"
"That is the funniest thing I've ever seen!"
"How did you even get him to agree to that?"
"Tao suggested I drug him with sleeping pills."
"God damn it Tao that was my idea!" Screamed Akihito and Asami narrowed his eyes at his lover's image. Yes, he was sure now, Akihito would have taken it a lot further than Misaki did and he would punish his little lover for even thinking about drugging him to make him into such a spectacle.
"Well, Aki you never specified the idea belonged solely to you, or that I could not share so keeping it to myself or sharing it was up to my own discretion." He said mirroring Akihito's words on Wednesday morning.
"Tao, it seems Feilong is rubbing off on you as much as Asami is rubbing off on me."
"Only as much as Asami is rubbing off on you. Going back to the matter at hand, the winner of "Lace cowboy" strangely enough is Ayase."
"What do you mean strangely enough?! I'll have you know Tao, I have moves…"
"It's just surprising that's all, Ewon and Akihito came close but Ayase ended up winning by three minutes and Misaki was disqualified because he refused to dress up like a girl."
They all began talking at once about the last challenge and Tao was fast losing his patience. Tao cleared his throat and began to address the group.
"Before we end, I want to remind you that next week is the most important challenge of the trimester and the prize is quite big. I will give you the whole week to complete the challenge, and there will not be a winner, per say, I will give one hundred points to all of you who manage to complete the challenge. This will be added to the grand total of the points you have already accumulated, and the one with the most points wins this trimester's grand prize. "
"Wow," Said a much excited Akihito "It has to be a big thing for you to give us the whole week."
"Oh it is."
"Are we going to hate it?" Ayase was rather nervous about the challenge, and hoped it was something he could manage.
"That depends on you." Said Tao with a very Fei Long like smirk that had a cold chill running up their spines.
"Can we know what prize for this trimester is?" Ewon was more interested in the grand prize at the moment than in the description of their next challenge.
"I was getting there Ewon" Said Tao rolling his eyes. "The prize is the latest installment of the hottest video videogame – which you all happen to be playing – it does not legally hit the market until the end of the year. In addition, I will give you the expansion package with extra rewards, extra missions, extra everything and multi-player options. And …. (Dramatic pause) a signed first edition of the first volume of that manga you all like. This, and a bonus of ten thousand dollars will be the grand prize for this trimester."
Excited shouts and ideas of what to do with all that money as well as the new game made the conversation into total chaos, Asami just wanted to tape their mouths closed so he could hear what the challenge was going to be, and Tao could hardly calm them down and had to scream to get them all to shut up.
After managing to quiet them down, Tao began speaking again.
"Would you at least hear what the next challenge is before you start making plans about what to do with the grand prize?"
"Sorry Tao, yes we want to know."
Asami listened intently to the Chinese boy and his tumbler hit the floor breaking into hundreds of little pieces at Tao's revelation. He was definitely not telling the other men about their lover's games now, he wanted to see the end of this challenge without previous knowledge affecting the outcome.
Still, there is no way this is happening on his part… maybe.
"Good," Said Tao "next week's challenge is called "Top your man" and it consists of exactly that."
****VF****
He sat there, thinking about how Akihito would address the subject. It would be a rather interesting conversation, and he honestly did not know how he would react to it. Kirishima knocked on the door and entered after Asami said he could do so, his faithful secretary looked at him and chose not to make any comments about his thoughtful expression.
"Asami-sama, Fei Long, Usami-san, Eun-san, Kanou-san and Kudou-san are here for your poker game. The last four are wondering why they are here."
"Let them in."
