Chapter 12: Between Sheets

Kyo opened the door and we both silently walked in. I made my way through the room, quaint but beautifully decorated.

Walking to the large double doors, I stared at it slightly while Kyo explored the rest of the room. After a few more moments, I opened them to reveal a large four-poster bed adorned with white, black and a-splash-of red bedding, quite similar to how the rest of the room looked.

I gulped and felt my heart speed up as I sat on the edge of the bed my mind racing with possibilities of what tonight held for the two of us. I leaned over, elbows digging into my thighs as I buried my head in the palms of my hands.

That's how Kyo found me.

"Yuki? Are you okay?" He asked softly as he sat beside me and gently rubbed circles on my lower back.

I turned to him and forced a smile, "I'm perfectly fine."

Kyo's hand came up to caress my cheek and I subconsciously leaned into his touch reveling in the minute sparks coursing through my body at the simple gesture, closing my eyes slightly as I felt a tiny bit of my anxiety dissipate.

"Nezumi, we're not going to do anything you're not ready for, okay?" He said and kissed me lightly on the mouth.

I looked up into his eyes and saw the honesty in that statement and I sighed in relief that Kyo wasn't one of those guys who would expect something so intimately of me without my consent. I snorted at my uncalled for worry and took one last look at Kyo. Kyo's eyes wandered from mine and I looked at him confusedly.

"Kyo?"

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you... and... shit, this never happens to me. Yuki... you've... oh fuck this! You deserve to know," Kyo grabbed my hands and stared straight into my now startled eyes, "I like you! A lot!"

I blinked rapidly in response and then laughed quickly, "I'm sorry, what did you say? I think I just hallucinated."

Kyo grabbed my face and my smile faded as my eyes widened in hope that I wasn't dreaming all that I heard, gulping nervously. "I'm in like with you, nezu." He said with slight amusement at his choice of words and I laughed shortly before looking at him again.

"Really?" I asked again, unable to fully comprehend that Kyo was confessing to me.

He smiled and nodded, "Really."

I felt a tear drop down my cheek and pulled away hastily from Kyo's hold, "I'm sorry, I'm acting like a—"

Just as I was about to get off the bed, Kyo tugged on my hand and pulled me down so that I was straddling him. "Don't apologise, frankly I think this part of you is adorable."

I encircled my arms around his neck and leaned into him, my head automatically going into the crook of his neck as I inhaled. "I'm in like with you too, you know." I mumbled and I felt Kyo chuckle. "I know, nezu."

I sat up slightly, pressing my lips against Kyo's slowly but with slight pressure, and soon I felt Kyo's hands roam across my back.

I broke the kiss, much to Kyo's dismay if the groan along with the way he sought my lips was any indication, and pushed Kyo back on the bed. I watched as Kyo moved towards the head of the bed and I felt a predatory smirk grace my features as I stalked towards him on my hands and knees.

"Fuck." He cursed and I tilted my head slightly, silently questioning him about it.

"Baby, you have no idea how hot you look, right now." He said, his chest seeming to rise and fall faster.

My smirk widened and I made my way back to him, "Why thanks, neko." I said just before I captured his lips roughly.

Laying my body on Kyo's I felt something hard against my leg. I pulled away from the kiss and looked at Kyo with a smile on my face, "You must be happy to see me."

Kyo smiled in return and pulled me down on top of him again, grabbing my ass in the process and grinding against my semi-hard crotch in response, "Very happy."

I moaned at the contact and went to kiss Kyo again, grinding against him in the process.

I gasped as Kyo's nimble fingers made their way over the expanse of my back, gently tracing his way up my spine with one of his hands, sending shivers through my entire body.

"Too many clothes." I whispered against Kyo's mouth and almost instantly my top was being pulled over my head by the hands which were already roaming over my back, I raised my hands in the air in compliance and made to rid Kyo of his t-shirt too.

Once Kyo's shirt was gone I looked down appreciating the sight in front of me. Kyo's chest was tanned and his muscle's where well-defined, such a contrast to my own pale skin and yet to me it seemed as if the colours were perfection against each other.

I ran my hands down his chest and watched as Kyo's body seemed to twitch in response.

"You're so beautiful." I looked up at Kyo's words and blushed slightly, my shyness from earlier making its presence briefly.

"You're not so bad yourself, neko."

Kyo smiled through a short laugh and the next thing I knew I was the one on my back, Kyo looming over me like I had him earlier.

Kyo looked down at me, lifting his hand before I saw it make its way to my chest. His hand halted and he watched me carefully, "Can I?"

I smiled, "You don't have to ask." I gently took hold of his hand and pressed it against my chest before pulling him down to me again, both moaning at the skin to skin contact.

Kyo leaned forward, nipping, sucking and licking at my neck. I groaned with pleasure and moved my head to the side in order to soften the noises leaving me involuntarily, unknowingly giving Kyo more space to explore.

I wound my hands around Kyo's back and then to his chest, my hands snaking lower and lower until I got to his jeans. I cupped Kyo's obvious erection through his jeans and Kyo's ministrations stopped suddenly, Kyo becoming like putty in my hands, groaning in the crook of my neck. "Fucking hell... Don't stop."

I moved my hand away and pushed it in past his jeans and his boxers, feeling Kyo's erection in the palm of my hand. I moaned at the feel of it in my hand and began to move my hand back and forth.

I could hear Kyo panting, sounds which were like encouragement to my ears, urging me to continue. Suddenly Kyo's hand was at my now incredibly hard member and I screamed out in obvious pleasure as Kyo's hand made skin-to-skin contact.

"Holy sh—" I whimpered as Kyo continued, my hand remaining still against Kyo's cock, forgotten in my sudden haze of pleasure. I started moving my hips in time with Kyo's hand movements, my hand moving with my body.

"Ah! Kyo.. fuck! Yes, right there." I panted as Kyo started removing my tight jeans in order to get more room. I complied all too easily and soon my boxers were all that was left.

Realising that I was the only one who was getting all the attention, I managed to gain the upper hand and turn Kyo on his back again.

"I don't want to be the only one that's feeling good..." I said suddenly and I moved back to come face to face with Kyo's jeans. I unbuttoned it, nervously at first before becoming more confident. I wanted this. I knew I did.

I unzipped Kyo's jeans slowly, making eye contact briefly to see that Kyo's eyes were now half-lidded, eyes filled with such intense passion that my heart started beating faster.

I released Kyo's hard-on out of its confines and stared in amazement, my mouth opening in anticipation.

I gulped at the size and hesitantly took it in my hand, gasping at the feel of it – of Kyo's – in my hand. I hesitantly moved my head closer to it and gave it an experimental lick. Kyo moaned and his hands immediately went to grip my hair as he sat up.

I held my hand at the base of his cock while I sucked gently at the head, eliciting delightful groans and gasps from Kyo's lips.

I never imagined that I'd ever be sucking someone's cock, but with Kyo... it was as if I were even enjoying it. I eagerly swallowed Kyo a bit deeper as his grip on my hair tightened attempting to move my head faster by bucking his hips upwards, unsuccessful as I held his hips down with my hands, my fingers sprawling out against his thighs, caressing them.

I pulled away, licking the underside of his cock while my thumb pressed against Kyo's slit.

"Fuck, Nezu. If you do that, I'm going to come soon." Kyo groaned, pulling me up and immediately connecting his lips with mine, regardless that I had just been sucking him.

Kyo hastily removed his pants as I slipped easily out of mine and we were soon back against each other, the only thing between us being our boxers, regardless we rubbed and bucked against each other.

Kyo's hand went tentatively towards my erection once again and I ardently reciprocated, grabbing his erection whilst inhaling sharply at Kyo's particularly rough tug.

I noticed Kyo looking down at our cocks before he looked up at me with an indescribable smirk plastered on his face as he whispered, "Come here."

I scooted closer towards him instinctively as if he had willed my body to do it with his words, our chests pressing together as he pulled me in for a lazy kiss pulling off my boxers which was joined later by Kyo's on the pile of clothes next to the bed. I smiled against Kyo's lips, practically mewling as Kyo started rubbing us together.

Kyo leaned back onto the bed and I cravingly followed him, my mouth meeting Kyo's, our tongues touching enthusiastically as Kyo and I moved together towards our orgasms.

I rode against Kyo, chanting his name in his ear as I got closer and closer. "Neko, don't stop. It feels... so fucking good." I felt Kyo's other hand make his way to my ass and squeeze slightly and I felt my body tense in response.

"I'm just touching, nezumi. We're not going all the way, so relax." He whispered into my ear and bit down on the lobe softly as his hand squeezed my ass in what seemed like appreciation.

I turned my head towards his neck as Kyo continued his ministrations and bit slightly on the exposed skin in front of me, hoping to leave a mark on that otherwise unmarred skin. I licked at the nip and sucked gently as Kyo started purring, the vibrations sending pleasurable shivers down my spine.

"Ah, fuck! Kyo... Kyo! I'm ..ah!.. c-coming. I'm coming!"

"Me too, baby. You feel so good against me, come for me, nezu. Come for me."

Kyo's seductive tone was the last straw as I thrust my cock a few more times against Kyo's in his hand and gasped, throwing my head back, "Nnn, Kyo!"

I felt Kyo's fist give a few more thrusts before I felt his hot come spill all over our stomach, mixing with my own.

I lay against him fully now, not caring about the stickiness between us, breathing heavily and overcome by the sudden exhaustion. Last thing I remember was feeling Kyo's lips kissing me lightly on my forehead as I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up to find Kyo snuggled against my back, one arm around my waist as I used his other one as a pillow, my hand laying in his as if it had been the way we had fallen asleep.

Suddenly remembering the state I was in when I had fallen asleep, my hand flew down to my lower regions. My hand came into contact with my boxer shorts and I realised that I wasn't feeling sticky.

Kyo probably cleaned us up. I thought with a smile and turned around in Kyo's hold, snuggling closer to his chest and breathing in Kyo's earthy scent.

I heard Kyo 'hmm' before he stretched out like a cat.

I closed my eyes, not wanting this bliss to end.

"Morning." I heard Kyo whisper as he brushed my fringe out of my eyes. "How are you feeling? Still tired?"

I shook my head, "Sorry about that by the way..."

"Sorry about what?"

"About falling asleep right after that."

Kyo snorted, "Nezumi, you were tired, it's perfectly understandable."

"Still, you cleaned up afterwards too. Is there any way I can make it up to you?"

There was a moment's silence until Kyo's unexpected answer, "Sing for me."

I sat up at the question and looked at Kyo questioningly, "You want me to sing for you?"

Kyo chuckled as he sat up too, "Is there a problem with my request?"

I shook my head slowly, "No... it's just rare that you ask me to sing that's all."

Kyo smiled predatorily before he pushed me down and lay on top of me nuzzling his head into the crook of my neck, "I love the sound of your voice, nezu. Won't you sing for me?"

"Ya." I whispered shakily before picking out one of my favourite songs.

I breathed in deeply, Kyo's body acting as a comfort, before I began to sing, tracing lazy patterns on Kyo's back.

"You and me between sheets
It just doesn't get better than this"

Kyo's silence, although uncharacteristic, was not awkward at all. The atmosphere seemed serene and almost warm.

"The many windswept yellow stickies of my mind
Are the molten emotional front line
I couldn't care less I'm transfixed in this absolute bliss"

I smiled as I realised how true the words were and how they seemed to pertain to Kyo and I's situation with miraculous precision.

"Sweet sleepless, tumbling night
Oh, and the morning on the your skin and loved up light
Tracing patterns in the maze of your back
Softly, softly the goose bumps like that"

My hand continued their feather touches and Kyo kissed my neck softly, nuzzling slightly and breathing in deeply.

"And then a kiss..."

Kyo lifted his head up and smiled at me as we both said at the same time, "After brushing teeth." We laughed in response and Kyo leaned gently down, rubbing our noses together, before he got up and picked our clothes up from the chair in the corner of the room, handing my pile to me. I smiled brightly accepting the clothes before heading to the bathroom to wash my face.

Kyo and I had just returned to the room, having passed the blushing receptionist as she averted her gaze, after going to the store across the road to buy toothbrushes and toothpaste and a few things for breakfast.

I brushed my teeth quickly as Kyo took his turn in the bathroom after me while I sat in the lounge browsing through the channels absent-mindedly, waiting for Kyo before we ate and then made our way home.

Kyo walked into the lounge area and leaned in for a kiss, "Morning, nezu."

I laughed, accepting the kiss and smiled at him, "Morning, neko."

After breakfast we left the room, handing the keys in and thanking the receptionist, unenthusiastically on my part, before heading over to the parking lot and to Kyo's motorbike.

He handed me a helmet and got on the bike, steadying it as he got it started. He motioned for me to climb on and I easily got on behind him before he drove away from the hotel.

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"For everything. For organising something so magnificently beautiful. A day where we could just be ourselves without having to restrain anything or having to worry about what people think. It really was something I will never forget."

"I would do anything in my power to make you happy, Yuki. You should know that."

I didn't answer instead I merely smiled and held onto Kyo just a little bit tighter.

We didn't stop much and a few hours later Kyo was arriving outside my house, the road dead quiet in the early hours of the morning. Kyo stopped the engine and steadied his bike as he got off after me.

He walked me to the front of my gate as I rang the doorbell. Mimi answered in no time and opened the gate, probably sneaking a look through the window to see our interactions with each other.

"Do you wanna come inside?" I asked, taking hold of Kyo's hand while he interlocked our fingers and brought it to his lips in a chaste kiss.

"Albeit sounding very tempting, I've gotta get back to the dorms. I informed my uncle and Tohru about being away all day yesterday but I never told them that I'd be spending the night so I can't stay out any longer... Don't pout, nezumi. I'll never be able to leave otherwise."

"I'm not pou—" I argued but soon got cut off as Kyo took my bottom protruding lip between his teeth. The moment he let go, he crushed his lips with mine and I moaned, my knees slightly bucking but remaining upright in Kyo's strong hold.

"S'not fair." I mumbled, burying my face in Kyo's chest when our kiss broke apart.

"What's not fair, nezumi?"

"Having to go back to pretending after such an amazing day and night just yesterday..."

"We don't have to hide it, you know?" He said softly, taking hold of my face and stroking his thumb across my cheek.

"Would you be okay, Kyo? I don't think I could allow you to go through such a thing. I'm gay, I've known for a long time and I've come to terms with it but Kyo... you... you're straight still, you don't need this. You can still get a nice gir—"

"Yuki, I don't care." I looked up and saw him shaking his head slightly, "When are you gonna get it through that thick skull? I don't need or want anyone else but you right now and in case you never noticed that makes me gay too, you know?" I looked up at him worriedly and he smiled down at me, "Don't worry, I'm happy – no, in fact, I'm ecstatic about being together with you. I don't need a girlfriend. I've already got a boyfriend."

I couldn't help the grin on my face as happiness consumed me from the inside.

"You always say the perfect things. Fine, I'll just have to survive. See you on Monday." I made to leave but Kyo grabbed my arm and pulled me right against him, our faces only an inch apart.

"Oh no you don't. I think I at least deserve a kiss for yesterday, don't you think?"

I smiled and rewarded Kyo with a kiss, then another... and one more just for luck.

"Don't go getting too used to things without me." Kyo stated and kissed me on the nose as he got onto his bike and after saying his last goodbyes, drove away from the house.

I sighed dreamily, unable to comprehend how something so adorably cute could happen to me, shaking my head after a few moments in hopes of clearing it a bit before I started getting ahead of myself and closed the gate behind me as I walked in, making my way along the pathway and up the stairs, aware that I'd be questioned the moment I stepped into the house.

Well I hope you enjoyed that chapter. Sorry I never got them to use the other L word yet but I think that although they have these intense feelings yet, Kyo especially hasn't realised that it's LOVE yet so we'll just wait for him to come to his senses, pun intended ;)

I know I never mentioned a helmet before but I just thought I'd mention it in this chapter to show that Kyo did think about safety and that they probably had it with them the entire time.

Sorry if the slight lemony bit sucked. It was my first time writing one so ya... *blush*
