Chapter 24: Switching Roles (part 2)

Yuki came home, exhausted after speaking to three clients, hoping for a hot meal and a back rub…he came home to a mess. He moaned deeply as Atsushi was immersed in paperwork, magazines, and nibbling his pen cap thoughtfully. Atsushi turned and smiled at his grumpy lover as he noticed the mess…he said very carefully, "sorry sweetie."

He slammed the door and dropped his coat. Yuki exclaimed, "Sorry is a great way to greet me." His trek only got him as far as the hallway when Atsushi stopped him. Atsushi looked at him and said, "What is going on?"

Yuki snarled, "I am hungry, tired and the place is a wreck! I was hoping for a hot meal…but you had…a cup of Ramen." He saw the Ramen near a book as it still steamed from been just made.

Atsushi sighed and said, "I am sorry, but I thought you would go out…it's almost nine, dear."

"I KNOW!" Yuki stormed and passed Atsushi. He slammed the bedroom door and locked it. His furious thrusting off his clothes ripped his shirt, but he did not care…he lowered onto the hard futon. His moan was deep and guttural, but the surprising part was…Atsushi was not at the door begging for an explanation or trying to break down the door.

Yuki sprang to the door as Atsushi stalled before the door hit him. He looked as Atsushi smiled gently. Yuki said, "I—"

"There is no need to explain, dear. Even people like you have bad days; I am running a bath for you, and are you still hungry?" Atsushi said.

Yuki smiled and said, "no…but are you done with your work?"

Atsushi slightly blushed and giggled. He said, "Are you asking me to join you?"

Yuki sprang onto Atsushi and said, "Do you have to ask?" They kissed as Yuki was leading…they parted as Yuki blinked at Atsushi. He said, "You…let me kiss you?"

Atsushi said, "Do I have to always lead in kissing you?"

Yuki shrugged but said, "You usually do…"

Atsushi said, "Lately you have been very…sexual. Is there any reason for that?"

Yuki groaned and leaned against Atsushi. He said, "work has been so…well, lately I have been editing Shoujo manga, so all the lovey dovey stuff makes me remember us…and how far we come from the blushing, holding hands, and just general dating issues…It sometimes makes me want to remember that warm touch even more…"

Atsushi said, "Well, I am glad I bring warm and fuzzy feelings. But, what is this Shoujo manga? I never heard of it."

Yuki blushed and said, "Girly manga…romance and fluffy stuff…I have read this author before…she is good. So good, even a few of my co-workers admit collecting her work."

Atsushi kissed Yuki's head and said, "What is the author's name?"

Yuki looked at him and said, "Love Chick by Jewel Sachinhana…" Their mouths reconnected as they gently reminded each other of their love…a deep, wonderfully bonding love that even a temper could not stop…he giggled when Atsushi allowed Yuki time to breathe.

Atsushi smiled and said, "What?"

Yuki looked past him and said, "How much of a mess do you want to clean?" He saw the water starting to spill over the tub as Atsushi shrieked and ran to stop the water. Atsushi was lucky not to fall on his butt, but he stopped the water.

Atsushi stiffened when he drained some water. He moaned, "Hot…" The water slowly drained as Yuki took a used towel to wipe the excess water to the shower drain. The tub was filled with some cold as Yuki finished the mess. Atsushi stopped the water and said, "Want to jump in or shower first?"

Yuki stood up straight and took off his pants. He pouted and slipped into the water. His moan was deep as the hot water was pleasing to his aching legs…he slipped in and groaned pleasurably.

Atsushi slowly took off his clothes as he smirked at his blushing lover. He came in too as Yuki laid back to allow Atsushi on top, but Atsushi shifted Yuki on top. Some water spilled over as Yuki blinked and said, "you have been weird…you have been letting me lead more and more. Not that I mind but dear…are you okay? What is wrong?"

Yuki turned to a pleased Atsushi as Atsushi said, "Does it matter who starts or not…you are here as I am. Can we just enjoy each other's presence?"

Atsushi giggled as Yuki leaned Atsushi back into the bathtub fully. Yuki moaned and kissed his lover…they embraced each other as they started to feel a little warmer where their sweet spots lie. Yuki sat on top of Atsushi and rubbed his bottom on his lover's member. Atsushi leaned back as he moaned deeply to allow Yuki more onto him.

Yuki rubbed and gasped…even his desire and need scared him…but Atsushi wanted him back. He felt the urge, the power of desire, and their bodies connect even more in the hot water. The splashes echoed in the room as they sped up their tempo. Yuki's thrusts were met with Atsushi's hands helping rub Yuki's hardening member under the water. He gasped at the touch but forced more onto Atsushi. Atsushi groaned and leaned forward to hold Yuki closer…they kissed as they both leaned back. Yuki kept pushing for more as Atsushi groaned and held onto the sides of the tub. They stared flushed faces at each other as Yuki yelped. Atsushi groaned deeply…they both reached their orgasm and panted their exhaustion of their passionate battle.

Yuki laid close to Atsushi as Atsushi held Yuki close. They panted as their penises pulses from the action. Their eyes connected as they smiled and kissed each other's faces. Atsushi kept his kisses light, but Yuki moaned in desire…Atsushi was holding back. This method drove Yuki insane in bed…Yuki groaned, "Kiss me properly, dammit!"

Atsushi laughed gently as Yuki blushed. He said, "Yuki dear, do not rush…enjoy the moment."

Yuki groaned and grabbed Atsushi's penis. The sudden grab made Atsushi stiffen as Yuki said, "stop this crap and tell me what you are doing. For three days, you have been like this. The constant 'let Yuki seduce me,' but common…this is not you! Please…don't tease me like this! I need my Atsushi than this new one…please…come back."

Atsushi smiled and said, "I never left…but if you want more…" He took Yuki's mouth with his own and kissed him deeply. Yuki clung to him as they switched positions again…Atsushi began his special rhythm…Yuki instantly felt the fever, wanton and desire growing. They thrust their members together as their mouths reconnected. Their tongues and the water splashed so much water…the end of their little game came when Yuki yelped.

Yuki said, "Wow…twice…it was…Atsushi…" He reddened at the sudden speaking of Nakahara's name, which made Yuki duck under the water.

Atsushi laughed and brought Yuki up. Yuki spat out the water and was still very red from his own statement. Atsushi said, "I love you."

Yuki smiled and said, "I love you too."

They looked at each other and blushed. Their giggles were gently and romantic as they embraced each other and lay down more comfortably in the water. Atsushi rubbed Yuki's face as Yuki rubbed Atsushi's chest. Their eyes never left each others as they smiled at the pure bliss they had for each other.

Yuki giggled, "Happy anniversary."

Atsushi gasped and sat up. Yuki shrieked as Atsushi rambled, "what anniversary?"

Yuki turned crimson as he mumbled, "the time…we started kissing at my parents place…and you said you loved me…"

Atsushi blinked and said, "you are right…sort of…it was a few weeks ago, right? In October…"

Yuki blinked and nodded. He sighed and said, "I got you something…but it is too late now…"

Atsushi turned crimson and said, "You…got me…a gift?"

Yuki turned purple and said, "I can return it!"

Atsushi smiled and laughed. He laughed for a few seconds and said, "wow, my heart is pounding…no, I would like to receive your gift."

Yuki gulped and slowly bent over the water to hide his face. He mumbled, "It is silly…"

Atsushi kissed his neck and said, "Whatever you present to me is well-worth it…can I guess what it is?"

Yuki moaned as they lifted their heads to look at each other. He said, "Sure…you can probably guess."

Atsushi sighed and said, "Something like…a briefcase."

Yuki shook his head and said, "I did not know you needed one…Christmas present…possibly."

Atsushi said, "A fountain pen?"

Yuki shook his head again.

Atsushi hummed and said, "Padding for our bed?"

Yuki moaned and said, "That would have been perfect! Something for the pair of us…but no."

Atsushi blinked and took a few seconds to think. He said, "Maybe…"

Yuki looked at him and sort of hoped it was obvious, yet he hoped it was not. He spent a little fortune on this gift, but it was well worth it. He had to use the monthly charges than paying for the full price…but he wanted a personal gift for Atsushi than something useful. His moan came out while he thought a briefcase? I should have gotten that! Oh well…I hope he will like it…

Atsushi sighed and said, "A…pet?"

Yuki snickered and said, "Nope. We are not allowed pets in this building."

Atsushi leaned back in the tub and said, "I am stumped. What did you want to give me?"

Yuki blushed again and said, "Well…do you want to keep guessing if I give you a hint or two?"

Atsushi giggled and said, "Sure."

Yuki said, "Remembered when you almost ran away during our school trip?"

Atsushi smiled and said, "How can I forget…you saved me from running away."

Yuki nodded and said, "What did you say to me then? Do you remember?"

Atsushi blinked and said, "something…about the ocean and butterflies…you did not get me a live butterfly…did you?"

Yuki shook his head as he got out. He crawled out of the bathroom and went to his coat in the entry way. His hands fumbled for the little navy box and went back to Atsushi. His crawl back to the tub as he grabbed a towel to dry his hands and presented the box to Atsushi.

Atsushi blushed instantly and said, "Yuki…what…"

Yuki turned purple in embarrassment and said, "Dry your hands first! And…please accept this gift as a token of my deepest love for you…Atsushi."

Atsushi gulped and dried his hands. He reached for the box as he opened it.

Yuki closed his eyes as he prayed Atsushi liked it…he had to look! He opened one eye and then the other…to a shock. Atsushi was sobbing and dropped the gift.

Atsushi looked at Yuki and said, "Really…that is…"

Yuki turned pale and said, "I am so sorry! I reminded you of those bad times! I will return it—"

"No…please…can I see it again?" Atsushi said quickly as Yuki gently handed over the gift.

Yuki asked for a special order; a necklace that could be separated into two necklaces for both Atsushi and Yuki. The necklace was their symbol, a pair of butterflies. The pair was both flying towards the eastern winds. The butterflies were a golden with swirls of blues, greens and yellows in small circles on the wings. The bodies of the butterflies were linked by thick copper as a banner ran along the wings of the butterflies and cut in the middle of the sentence. The sentence said, "Two butterflies fly to their destination with tenacious passion against the vicious wind…"

Atsushi's tears kept falling as he sobbed, "this…is the…most stunning gift…I ever received…thank you…" He wiped his tears and got out of the tub.

Yuki smiled as he said, "the necklaces are a pair…so we can wear one and always be reminded of each other…also…" He blushed and said, "The back has…our names on them…" He showed Atsushi as Atsushi smiled and said, "Wow…I am speechless…"

Atsushi slowly crawled to get a towel and dried himself. Yuki drained the tub as Atsushi dried Yuki. They giggled as Atsushi took out the butterflies and unclick them apart. He turned the butterflies around and said, "To my beloved Atsushi from Yuki." This sentence too was separate by the "Atsushi" from the "Yuki." He gave Yuki the beginning of both sentences, which said his name. Atsushi kept the second part and with Yuki's name on it.

Yuki giggled and helped put the necklace on Atsushi's neck. The charm landed on Atsushi's heart…Atsushi helped Yuki with his necklace as the necklace fell onto Yuki's heart. They admired the necklaces as Atsushi said, "Wow…what can I get you for a gift …it is amazing…"

Atsushi looked at Yuki as Yuki held his legs close to his chest. Yuki said, "well…you could just…get a futon pad…you know…"

Yuki could not look at Atsushi…the embarrassment and passion…it built inside him, even when he bought the present…he hoped Atsushi would like the gift. But this…he never expected Atsushi to get upset, but…they have been through so much with faith in a little insect; the butterfly…their symbol of their love. Yuki could not but help get a gift that would symbolize that and their endearing love for each other.

Atsushi said, "I will get you…something special." He stood and offered Yuki a hand.

Yuki looked at him and took Atsushi's hand. They hugged as they felt their young hearts beat wildly. They loved each other…this gift did show a piece of their long history, but this made the proof that butterflies can handle the storms and make a life…like these two men did. They fought hard and almost lost so much…but they found a deep passion in their union. Yuki sighed happily in Atsushi's arms and said, "I love you so much…the necklace…is just material crap…please, do not think you need to trump it…"

Atsushi sighed happily and said, "I still want to get you something special…don't worry…it will not be…gold. Something different and very special for you can have and own. Relax my beloved, tonight we are just going to rest. Tomorrow is another big day, but we have tonight to enjoy each other…"

Yuki blushed again as they went to their bedroom. They went under the covers and cuddled close to each other. Their necklaces slipped in between them as they smiled at each other. They kissed each other one more time and slowly ebbed into sleep. Their dreams were filled with memories and butterflies…

A/N: I might add another manga to this series *bows many times and says sorry!* But since I keep adding series and such…does anyone want summaries of the various series? I suggest even Wikipedia or Goggle to find suitable summaries of all the series I mentioned. But I am too willing to give a long author's note (if the fans or newcomers ask so). If not, I will just say this…the series all have this in common: either yaoi, a writer in the series, or a singer.

Which this manga, Otomen by Aya Kanno, has a writer (male) writing about a Shoujo series, Love Chick Jewel Sachihana. I am not sure how much these characters will appear….but Yuki will see them! So either way….*author giggling and smirking* here is another series to watch out for!
