A/N: Slight warning…long one! Part of the history of Utoro and Gotro-sama! My lovely original pair XD I love Gotro-sama…so, this chapter will be fun!

Chapter 25: Switching Roles (part 3)

Utoro snarled and slammed the door. He growled, "Vou! You need to get a new survey researcher than Sugisaki-san! The bastard child does not get it! He keeps writing fluffy and cute survey questions! We need this done by tomorrow at five! If it isn't…another company may take the spot! We need to act! Let me do this…I can handle it."

"I trust Atsushi will do fine." Gotro said from the kitchen table while he reading his manga. He smirked as he looked at his growling wife.

Utoro entered the apartment and said, "Firstly, why are you calling him by his first name? Secondly, Uterena is getting impatient. She has called me nineteen times today for that damn survey. Thirdly…you have been busy with some project too. You have been keeping information from your secretary, who is me, which is not good." He snarled and crossed his arms in defense.

Gotro set his book down and got up. He said, "Darling…calm your fury. Tonight is not work, remember the rule? Work stops at the door, which you still stand. Common…can we relax and remember the memories that brought us here today…my love, my only, my beautiful Utoro…come into my arms. We need to rest our bodies for the next few days of exhaustion…" He giggled and took his wife into his arms.

Utoro refused to release his rage and snarled, "I have a survey completed."

Gotro moaned and parted from Utoro. He said, "If you publish that, I will not tell you my new project."

Utoro groaned and said, "Atsushi will not finish the survey in time! I just know—"

Gotro gently placed his mouth on his wife's…they slowly embraced each other and rubbed their mouths. They felt the deep and passionate bond they shared in every kiss. Their bodies enclosed the gap as Gotro rubbed Utoro's back. Utoro fully wrapped his arms around Gotro's neck. They pressed against the door as they moaned at the heat…they have been so busy not to touch this deeply…they stopped and looked at each other.

Utoro moaned, "until five o'clock…I will wait for the damn kid, but if he is a second late…my survey is going in the papers, got it."

Gotro smiled and said, "yes dear, but trust my faith…I have been rarely wrong in men and women I trust fully with works important as this."

Utoro sighed and said, "I am sorry dear…it's just…I want this bill to pass! Not for us but…well, it is sort of personal but…darling."

Gotro hugged Utoro close and said, "Do not worry dear…Atsushi will make it through. He has the stuff and the passion as you do. Come….we need to rest." He took Utoro's hand as they turned to lights off and went to their bed…a huge blue queen sized bed with twelve pillows on top.

Utoro climbed on top as Gotro followed. They lied close to each other as they knocked the pillows off. They climbed under the blankets and cuddled close to each other. Gotro kissed Utoro's head and sighed, "I love you…you darn dork." Utoro giggled and said, "I love you too…clown."

They looked at each other as they kissed each other with a sweet embracing one. Their lips shared the passion that they had, and their bodies just molded into each other. Utoro got on top as Gotro allowed Utoro to gently rub his body. Gotro sighed as his wife just rubbed…nothing wild or forceful. They held each other as Utoro sighed happily.

Gotro got on top and said, "Do you remember…the day we met? And all our trials of love…it is amazing to think we have been together for three years…and not killed each other yet."

Utoro blushed gently and said, "You were an asshole at first…but you softened. Your change is sort of like a metamorphosis of a terrible giant into a wild vampire."

Gotro leaned onto Utoro and sighed, "You and your damn vampires…"

Utoro hugged his husband and said, "I love them…and you…so very much…"

Gotro said, "I want to remember…tell me again…about our first meeting and the first couple trials of love…"

They got more comfortable as Utoro moaned, "I told you a hundred times…and you remember. Common, can we just sleep…"

Gotro giggled and said, "Say it…say it and keep going…my love."

Utoro sighed and said, "Clown…we met here, obviously…you were looking for a new secretary to replace your retiring one…I just got out of college and came to the interview…"

They closed their eyes as they imagined that day…five years ago. They were in Gotro-sama's office; at this time, the office was stiff and filled with his accomplishments and awards. The shelves were filled with books of every language and science field. A thick maple desk held the small laptop, filing system, and the huge red chair where Gotro-sama sat before a younger Utoro. They glared at each other as Gotro-sama said, "you just got out of college?"

Utoro nodded and said, "Yes sir."

Gotro said, "You have been at three different internships. May I inquire your employers for references and skills you have shown to them?"

Utoro nodded and said, "Of course, sir."

Gotro sighed and said, "I have a hint for you, kid. This tense air will not get you hired for this company."

Utoro smiled darkly and said, "Like hell your partner in this building will not hire me."

Gotro's face stiffened as he said, "how did you know about Donnovanis? Ninety-eight percent of new people in this building never heard of him."

Utoro giggled and said, "Sir, only a fool would admit that. I researched the place before even entering my two resumes."

Gotro leaned back in his chair and said, "you sent—"

The door opened to a midget African, Yourler Donnovanis, as his dark face turned to Gotro. He walked in and said, "Have you hired the kid yet?"

Gotro gulped back a snarl and said, "You saw the references, Donnovanis?"

Donnovanis nodded and said, "The kid is hired if you will not admit it. Chi-san, you will be the head secretary and have plenty of work to imitate before Korro-san leaves. Be sure to watch her carefully."

Utoro nodded and left. He turned to Gotro-sama and smiled while he closed the door.

Gotro snarled, "That fucker is not what the company needs! A fresh college brat with some impressive references, but that could be—"

Donnovanis sat down and said, "Gotro, I trust your opinion very much since you have chosen some of the best scientists to occupy this building. Also, your articles and awards make your voice very influential even in the survey world…but listen to me. That boy, Utoro Chi, is not a normal man. If you know what Chi meant…you would know what I mean." He tossed a paper to Gotro as Gotro took it and snarled openly.

Utoro Chi was one of the pair if children Tanntro Chi had. Tanntro Chi was not rich, but he was a very influential man in the Universities in Tokyo. He was gifted at planning, scheduling and making the schools develop extracurricular programs. His job was activity director at M University, but he helped many colleges…which made him even more influential. Tanntro sent both of his children to the best, which the newspaper showed Utoro with his sister, Uterena, standing before T University. They also went to summer programs at Oxford, Yale, and internships with various companies. Both children smiled in their expensive clothing as their father stood proud behind them.

Gotro growled, "Family is one gift that companies have acknowledged too long…children can overrule the family trait and ruin them! Do not trust this Chi child…he seems too cocky to me."

Donnovanis snickered and took the paper. He said, "I know…I said the same thing about you when I hired you."

Gotro growled, "I am only a few years younger than you, and you still insult me about that! So what if you own the place…I saved it from crumbling with untrustworthy scientists."

Donnovanis nodded and said, "You are correct, but you forget one vital thing."

Gotro looked directly into Donnovanis's eyes as Donnovanis said, "I own this building thus I own your job. You could be replaced…at anytime…but I enjoy your temper. Be sure the kid stays in place, and also…you stay in your place as well. I expect a review of Chi-san in three weeks."

Donnovanis hopped out of the chair and walked to the door. He said, "One more thing…stop scowling. I know my ownership of this building irks you deeply, but remember…I am not your friend when it comes to challenges to my leadership. I will not allow you to fire this boy unless he has made mistakes vastly out of control, understand?"

Gotro sighed his last angry breath and nodded. His fists clenched under the desk as Donnovanis giggled.

Donnovanis said, "You are so easy to read…I win another member in this building. Yet again, you need to endure another attitude that does not obey yours…pity your fan club. Chi-san will not be joining it."

Gotro kept his face calm, but his temper was losing control. He so wanted to hit Donnovanis for every comment…sure, most of the people Gotro hired were filled with merit and knew his work well enough to recite it. But this boy…Utoro Chi…Gotro hated the looks, the responses and the feelings that Gotro got from him. He just said, "Thank you for your concern sir, but I will do things my way. Chi-san will have plenty to work on if he will be the building's secretary."

Donnovanis smirked and said, "Indeed, that is why I sent the boy to you."

Gotro lessened his anger and stared at his boss. He said, "Yes…that is interesting hypothesis, sir. You sent the boy to me when you already hired him. Why?"

Donnovanis smiled and said, "You will be seeing plenty of him for me, so I felt…they should get used to each other more than I would. So…tell me, your intuitive powers of first meetings have usually have been strong around newcomers. What does this kid give you?" Gotro opened his mouth, but Donnovanis quickly said, "Not the first reactions or the responses you got from your questions. Even the hired employees, they say you are a tight ass when you hire. No, tell me what you think about his personal feelings towards him. You had Chi-san here for a maximum of nineteen minutes, so you must have a scientific reaction to him. Tell me, you always impress me with your critical reviews on newbies. Impress me again." His dark eyes looked at Gotro as he leaned on the doorframe.

Gotro sighed and said, "as you previously said, I have a gift of inspection when people least expect it. Body movements are usually easy to interpret, but so many people usually take it the wrong way…I spent most of my life trying to understand people's bodies than their words. Words, sentences, and expressions are made up of lies that the person takes mental abilities to develop from personal experience. I can read everyone by just asking very careful questions, simple staring and being very subtle with my décor in the room. As for your usual question with famous people being hired in this building…Utoro Chi reminds me of…"

Donnovanis stood straight and said, "tell me…doesn't he remind you of…yourself at his age? His impeccable resistance and rage even with a master of multiple of sciences…it even intrigued me more that he sent his resume to me first…than our agreement to send it to you first."

Gotro snarled, "You asked for my opinion, yet you cannot help to explain yourself…but I refuse to be compared to that child." He took two breaths and continued, "My review is simple, but I am already repeating what you said before…he looked at my awards and books with little interest. Hell, he looked like he expected my office to look like this. Which most new hired always admit that my office is either impressive or to their liking, Utoro Chi…said nothing."

Donnovanis nodded and said, "Continue."

Gotro groaned and said, "at first, we had the usual 'why did you apply here?' 'What can you bring to this company?' Also, of course, I questioned his age and college credits. He vastly spent his entire college career as a business major, secretary studies, and some literature…and had…mythology double minor. His portfolio is extremely well put together, the best grammar in years, and twelve reviews from the various places he has been. I asked him, naturally, as he answered with an uninterested looks at my questions and showed me his…"

Donnovanis smiled and said, "Common…I hate to wait. Tell me, what do you think of him? I know all of this crap. I read his portfolio and thought…this is not a twenty-something-year old portfolio…it was flawless. So, naturally, I called his father…his father told me that Utoro yearned for this job for years, so he crammed school and work down his throat for years…A twenty-three year old…A mere child from college and came here…confusing two of the best scientists of Tokyo and Karuiinochi Researchers."

Gotro said plainly, "he does not confuse me." He stared at Donnovanis's enlarged eyes as he continued, "Chi-san is just a rambunctious, pompous and believes he is the shit because he yearned for this job. What kind of normal man would beg to be a secretary of a building that has so many different departments of science? The head secretary was known to have stress-reducing pills in her purse due to the so many requests from all the departments…we went through nineteen secretaries since I was hired. Each one agreed…this was the job that either taught them to be a better secretary, or they yearned for something easier. But Chi-san…" He growled and said, "I grew angrier during the interview, which surprises me…I never let emotions get a hold of me when I meet a new employee."

Donnovanis nodded and smiled. He said, "I had some of the same reactions when I met him…Chi-san had to be an extreme actor or had some kind of scent to make me feel like a man losing control…after a moment or two, I looked at him and asked, 'what was his favorite thing in the world?'"

Gotro blinked twice and said, "Why did you ask him that question?"

Donnovanis said, "usually, interview has been made to make people to be presented professional and seeing people sweat…this question made Chi-san…not lose his cool. Instead, he smiled and said, 'vampires.'"

Gotro stood and snorted, "Vampires…he said vampires…mythological people that suck blood, live in coffins, immortal, beautiful or ugly depending on the story, and…completely useless information for an interview! Why did you ask him that?"

Donnovanis said, "I asked him to see something you are refusing to admit to me now."

Gotro sighed and said, "What? That the fact…" He growled and crossed his arms across his chest. He said, "Chi-san did nothing to me other than anger me to the fullest."

Donnovanis laughed, a low and gaining noise, as Gotro stared at him. Donnovanis laughed so hard that he held onto the doorframe for support. He slowly stopped and said, "Gotro…Vou-kun, I have known you since diapers. I know your reactions, your methods, and I am still mystified by your intelligence…which I keep you close and gave you this power. But…for once…I want to know this Utoro Chi more and more by your stare at me even when I say his name."

Gotro said, "What is my face saying other than extreme hatred to this man?"

"Exactly." Donnovanis said as he opened the door.

Gotro blinked and said, "Sir, wait. What are you talking about?"

Donnovanis giggled again and said, "Chi-san has you twisted out of shape because…you do not understand mythology, and…possibly…have a slight attraction to him…"

Gotro slammed his fists onto the desk and said, "Yourler, be serious! Do I look, even in the slightest, attracted to a man that is younger than me? Why would I subject my body or mind to crap like love, attraction, or sexual interest? I am a scientist and do not need this crap in my life."

Donnovanis smirked and said, "You are the one who is showing me your inner desire…"

Gotro growled, "I am showing you NOTHING! Also…" He stalled and stared at his boss. His body slowly lowered into his chair as he took a few deep breaths.

Donnovanis laughed again and said, "Like I thought…you are slightly attracted to him…Even I wonder about this boy…he does remind me of you."

Gotro snarled and rubbed his head, "in what sense, sir?"

Donnovanis said, "Chi-san hates to lose…like you do. You fight to keep your emotions and personal life under check all the time…like Utoro does."

"You are saying his first name already! What makes you think this child will stay that long? Also…" Gotro groaned and tried to remain calm.

Donnovanis giggled and said, "You better invite me to your wedding…or I might get insulted." He closed the door slowly as Gotro yelled, "me? I am not a HOMOSEXUAL! ASSHOLE!"

The door slammed as Gotro stared at the door. He blinked quickly for a few seconds before he took his notebook and wrote down 'vampires.' His face twitched since he hated the mythology of fake creatures! Even cults and children played with these fake assumptions, he preferred reality than fake worlds where vampires could live…He growled; his limited information about vampires could be a limitation against Chi-san…but why did Donnovanis ask that question?

Gotro gasped and knew the answer…Donnovanis wanted Gotro to find out more about this kid! By finding his 'favorite thing,' Gotro knew a piece of Chi-san that Chi-san did not know…Donnovanis was brilliant in ways Gotro could only imagine…it made him scowl every time when Donnovanis was right, and he was not.

Weeks passed as the tension and anger between Utoro and Gotro grew; they only spoke when needed, make rude comments to everyone else, and they glared at each other as much as possible. Utoro just got on Gotro's nerves as Utoro dreaded every day when Gotro came. But Gotro never saw Donnovanis's vision…or he admitted to it.

Gotro was sitting in the lunch room when he saw Utoro, once again, alone in the corner of the hall as he read a cloth-covered book. Utoro read many books…in various sizes, lengths, and his various faces were humorous to watch…but Utoro made little effort to talk to anyone in the building. A few people were familiar with Utoro, but Gotro expected the kid to make a coalition against him…since he heard a few rumors that Utoro called Gotro a joke to science.

Utoro did not want to speak at lunch as he read his vampire novels or manga. He was deeply immersed in the sex scene between a vampire lover and his mate when…Gotro's shadow got in his light. He knew this by two reasons: one, his smell…of cinnamon. Two, the man just adored annoying him…why, he did not know but it made Utoro's blood boil to have Gotro-sama breathing down his neck…He looked up and stared at the plum eyes with emotional distaste in Utoro's lack of friends at his table. He said, "Can I help you, Gotro-sama?"

Gotro snarled, "What are you reading? You have been here for five weeks now and still…you persist to read during lunch than making friends with your coworkers. This could be a sign of your inevitable failure as a secretary for this building."

Utoro smirked and said, "Or your desire to see me fail. No, I rather read, thank you." He covered his face as he tried to continue reading, but Gotro-sama ripped the book from Utoro's hands. He growled, "Asshole, I was reading that!"

Gotro-sama turned to book and looked at the page. His face was hilarious to see…Utoro smirked as Gotro's face turned from confusion to disgust to a glaring stare. Gotro-sama said, "You read this is a place of employment! This is a disgrace!" He slammed the book onto the table as Utoro stood and growled, "I did not check the page number…you made me lose my spot!"

Utoro glared into Gotro-sama as Gotro said, "Fuck the book…you have better things to fill your head with than this crap. For example, science. This is fake and useless crap to—"

"I bet you never read for fun. Do you even know what a vampire is?" Utoro intruded as Gotro growled a deep breath.

Gotro said, "From the American Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary the definition of vampire, the vampire is 'the reanimated body of a dead person believed to come back to life at night and suck blood from the living.' Also, a person that is immortal, can transform into a bat, and is compared to a living mammal but a fictional character. Vampires are vast in characterization, but they are mostly villains."

Utoro snickered and said, "Wrong."

Gotro grimaced and said, "I have researched—"

"Technically, you are correct. But vampires are always recreated in every new author that writes about them…some vampires have been good guys, in-the-gray, or like you said…villains. But that does not matter. What does matter is—"

"Do not interrupt me, dork! Look, you have been reading for weeks now, and you need to stop this madness. Your work will—"

"Do not interrupt you, sorry great lord…CLOWN! Yes, Gotro-sama…I called you a clown!" Utoro yelled as his fists clenched.

Gotro clenched his fists and said, "This fallacy is madness! Thousands of people believe this crap of fantasy, horror, and imagination of overly paid authors that make children stray from the path of real science and reality. Your hobby is just another—"

Utoro yelled and stood closer to Gotro, "Mono Midnight is not an over paid idiot! She is a genius! You are just jealous that you spent all your time in the 'reality cloud' than enjoying imagination of geniuses like her and others! Fantasy is made to bring people away! That is what it was designed for!"

Everyone stopped talking and looked at them. A few whispers started as one man slowly approached the warring pair.

Gotro growled deeply, "fantasy is bull shit! The imagination cannot recreate the world or the natural processes! Stop reading this and try a science text!"

Utoro yelled, "have you even realized how much work and imagination is put into these works of art? Some authors spend years developing these stories, for example, Mono Midnight spent two years per book! She does not make up anything! The vampires are real…in a sense!"

Gotro yelled, "Fantasy will not solve all the worlds' problems!"

"No! But it is worth the read to get away from the world! Reading promotes literacy and imagination to the reader! Not everyone likes factual bullshit that depresses them to death!" Utoro yelled back.

Gotro snarled, "Facts are depressive, you say! Well, if people stop acting like problems were fantasy, maybe actual change could happen! Your type is just holding the rest of us back!"

Utoro screamed, "Excuse me! But I will not stop reading for your stupid reasons, CLOWN!"

"DORK!" Gotro screamed.

"ASSHOLE CLOWN!" Utoro screamed louder as they advanced closer for a punch…

A man came between them and growled, "Gentlemen, can we stop this high school fallacy? Chi-san, I respect Gotro-sama's request for you to put the book away and read that on your own time. But Gotro-sama, this building is filled with people who read Mono Midnight…I suggest you apologize to the fans…" His dark green eyes flicked Gotro to see twenty or more people snarling at Gotro…

Utoro snarled, "who are you to butt in? This is—"

"Shut your asshole up! This man…is the supervisor of the building and...He is worth more than the pair of our jobs. One wound could cost you a lot…" Gotro growled at Utoro.

Utoro growled, "Fuck the world and your pathetic fallacy of science!" His fist slammed into the man's side as the man slipped to the ground slightly gasping.

Everyone on the room gasped and watched with interest. This was never attempted before…as the man rose and glared at Utoro. The man said, "I prefer to have my name known, so you can remember it. My name is Gai Kokan, and I prefer peace over violence in any situation…but..." Gai held Utoro into a defensive position and finished, "situations have arisen that I must defend myself…so be it."

Utoro smirked and said, "Do not count me out…YET!" He slammed Gai's feet and slammed his fists into Gai's stomach. Gai released Utoro and fell to the floor again.

Gotro's eyes enlarged as he backed away slowly. He just stared in disbelief…that he really thought this was a book dork…where did he learn to defend himself against a man like Kokan-san…Kokan-san might be a supervisor, but his skills are vast in the karate world…how did a college brat learn to do that?

Gai stood and said, "I have been nice…but now is enough!" He rushed forward and slammed Utoro's stomach and forced him to the ground. Utoro gasped and shivered, but he slowly spun kick his foot into Gai's face…Gai landed to the ground again, but this time, he had a bleeding lip.

The crowd started to cheer and make bets…Gotro snarled at everyone doing that as he watched both men stand. Gai posed like a viper as Utoro rolled his eyes and said, "Street style is more to my LIKING!" Utoro ran forward as they danced a battle waltz…

Gai posed and moved like a deadly viper, but Utoro's moves, unlike Gai's delicate moves, were rushed and forceful. They slammed, missed, dodged and made the waltz look old…this new dance made them famous among the crowd. People chanted loudly Gai's name, but some people gained confidence to scream Utoro's name. Gotro-sama just stood there…with his eyes bulging in disbelief as he watched and moved in time before the battle waltz hit him.

Utoro was not trying to get angry, but he slammed his fist into Gai's face…Gai faltered his poses and growled, "Enough is ENOUGH!" Gai slammed his fist forward, but Utoro grabbed the fist. Utoro smirked as Gai tried the other fist…Utoro grabbed it as they struggled against each other. They glared at each other as Gai lifted his leg and slammed Utoro to the ground. But Utoro did not let go of Gai…Gai slammed on top of Utoro. They both gasped as they struggled for dominance. Gai mostly remained on top, but Utoro protected his face…Utoro did something he never wanted to…he grabbed Gai's penis.

Gai stopped instantly at the grip at his member and snarled, "Dirty children play like that…" He gasped and kept still, but his glare was poisonous on Utoro's face.

Utoro said, "I flunked one subject in my life…because the rules were too much for my rambunctious style of street fighting…karate. I was a brown belt before I noticed by shoving rules down my throat was limiting my strength."

Gai gasped as he said, "karate is an art…never forced if your master was not a good teacher…you misheard the greater truths that karate teaches others…"

Utoro snarled, "it does not matter…you hit me without following your rules of not getting mad, right?"

Gai stiffened more and said, "There is a time for patience…and a time for lust for revenge…" His hand unzipped Utoro's pants and gripped Utoro's member as Utoro gasped at the touch. Gai whispered, "you are pretty cute when you are mad…are you single?"

Utoro turned red and screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

Everyone was talking too loudly to hear the warring men on the floor. Gotro-sama was too busy keeping everyone either away or stopping the bets.

Gai snickered and panted, "you are touching mine…so you must be gay…right?"

Utoro's eyes enlarged as he said, "I am gay…but…no way! NEVER YOU!" He releases Gai's penis as he stiffened more since Gai did not release his member.

Gai whispered as he lowered onto Utoro, "I will give you a time to remember…come to room 6696 on the thirty-fifth floor. I will be waiting for you…Utoro." He quickly fixed up Utoro's pants and stood. He placed a foot on Utoro's chest and said loudly, "I expect you in my office quickly to further explain your duties as a secretary…this day will be considered as a problem if you do not come to my office in two hours…" He spun away as his long black hair swept over Utoro's face. He walked away…as Utoro laid on the ground feeling strangely interested in seeing Gai again.

In thirty minutes of fixing the cafeteria and finishing some paperwork, Utoro walked the thirty-fifth floor…the office was not labeled… He came to the last door as he opened to a room filled with sex toys, scents and a huge fluffy bed. This was not what he expected…but he felt this was Gai's style. He entered as the door closed behind him. His body stalled as the door was closed and locked. Gai came behind him and said, "thirty minutes…you must be lustful or something…are you hungry for milk?"

Utoro gulped and said, "Do not…underestimate…me…"

Gai giggled and said, "You are not relaxing…come. I need you calm for this release…" He gently pushed Utoro to the bed and down as he put his weight onto Utoro. His voice was gently as he said, "do you want me to continue?"

Utoro shivered and said, "Yes…just…be slow…"

Gai sighed and got off of Utoro. He fixed his shirt and said, "You are not interested in sex, milk, or anything I can give you."

Utoro sat up and snarled, "You were the one who asked me to come! Now you take it back! WHY?"

Gai turned to him and said, "You are infatuated with Gotro-sama."

Utoro turned red so fast his voice was choked with, "what…you mean…that clown…what, no..not…what…are you…." He turned and hid his face into the fluffy sheets. His moan was loud enough to make Gai laugh.

Gai said, "You should tell him."

Utoro groaned loudly and turned his head. He said, "I…don't want to! I never…like assholes like him…he is so cruel, rude, so darn science-based, sexy, and his plum eyes make me feel so…DAMN! I am not falling for him!" His face hid again as Gai lay down.

Gai said, "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Utoro turned and said, "You are new at being gay so…you are rushing onto the first guy you like…"

Gai giggled and said, "No, I have two lovers. Both of them are just as cunning, stunning and manipulative as I. Guess again…"

Utoro turned to a smiling Gai and said, "To make me to tell the truth…oh god! Is he here?" He sat up and looked around as Gai laughed harder.

Gai shook his head again and said, "Done guessing?"

Utoro snarled, "Never! You…want me to accept Gotro-sama…and tell the truth?"

Gai shook his head again.

Utoro shivered and held his legs close to his chest. He said, "You want use this as a threat against me…right?"

Gai shook his head and lay down comfortably. He said, "relax…I will not touch you again. Besides, even if we were to have sex…it would be meaningless. I love my two lovers more than anyone in the world. They ask me to do this sometimes for Gotro-sama…"

Utoro growled and held Gai's shirt to force Gai's face close to his. He snarled, "How dare you! You are such an asshole to manipulate…you fucker! Stop laughing!"

Gai laughed very hard and said, "Donnovanis…how does he know this crap…god, I love that man."

Utoro lessened his grip and said, "The boss…the head of this building…told you to do this…to me and Gotro-sama…"

Gai gently pushed Utoro down and put his weight onto him. He explained, "You forget that Gotro-sama is a genius, a great speaker, but…alone. He would never admit it, but the man is more alone than everyone will ever see. He believes his trek in this world has been only to fix the scientific issues, but he never took a moment to enjoy the unexplained…the rare and wonderful…like love. My mission, as my lovers', tries to find a lover for Gotro-sama by carefully hiring or placing certain people into our building. We have tried thirteen lovers…two got close but…they both left after a few months. They both complained that Gotro-sama does not how to live. Gotro-sama just works…that is what scares Donnovanis and me greatly."

"So…you are using me to get Gotro-sama to lessen up? This is not fair! I refuse to play this game!" Utoro snarled, but Gai smiled even broader.

Gai said, "I am not playing any game…other than lying on top of you and telling you this…I want you to fall in love with Gotro-sama. Teach him fantasy…tell him about your world…teach him to fall in love with you as much as you love him."

Utoro snarled, "I rather not! You will not hurt…" He blushed and gasped at his own words.

Gai said, "you are in love…there is no denying that."

Utoro groaned, "If you dare tell him…"

Gai said, "The pleasure will only yours. I will say this…I think you will teach Gotro-sama the best lessons in life if you will be honest to him."

"You say that is indefinites and in future tense…aren't you going to force me?" Utoro said as Gai kept his charming smile.

Gai only said, "There is no need to force the issue unless you want my help."

Utoro grimaced and blinked. He said, "that is why you called me here…"

Gai nodded and said, "I can teach you all I know about homosexuality…jealousy and—"

Utoro turned and said, "No thank you."

Gai blinked and said, "How do you plan on telling Gotro-sama the truth? What about your love…do you plan on living a lie?"

Utoro blushed so red that he groaned, "I don't know! Don't….pressure me…I am so confused…every time I look at Gotro-sama…I just want to scream and kiss him at the same time…how can I tell him that I love him when I….keep doing this…tell me!" He glared into Gai's face and said, "what would you do if you were me?"

Gai gently removed himself off of Utoro and said, "Well…I am not sure. Every situation, life, and reaction is different. But, I know and so does Donnovanis about your feelings…honesty is the only piece of advice I can give you, but what you do…is your own path to follow."

Utoro groaned and said, "Damn ninja…" He turned away as Gai hugged him.

Gai said, "follow your heart…it will tell you when it is time to be honest." He released Utoro and walked to the door. He finished, "use the room as a masturbating station or whatever you wish…I only come here once in a while. My lovers will only come when the door is devoid of a door marker…here, is the markers to warn them to stay away."

Utoro turned and saw the door markers…small hanging door markers with pink hearts…he groaned and turned away. He said, "leave a marker on…I need…to be alone for a few minutes…I am on break anyways…"

Gai said, "Please do not delay too long…"

Utoro moaned, "Why?"

Gai said, "Because…my lovers and I have faith that you are the one for Gotro-sama, but we will continue to search if…you do not make progress."

Utoro snarled, "Thanks but…I am not rushing with that meaningless threat."

Gai laughed and said, "Donnovanis…how do you pick them?"

Utoro blinked and turned. He saw Donnovanis rubbing his head on Gai's middle. Donnovanis said, "I pick them…by fate. I had a feeling this kid was good…but never this good! Chi-san, be sure to make Gotro-sama beg when you have sex with him."

Donnovanis laughed heartily at Utoro's red face as Utoro groaned and hid his face. Utoro moaned, "GO AWAY!"

Gai gently pushed Donnovanis away as he marked the door. He said, "good day…and remember what I said…Utoro."

Utoro turned to Gai and growled, "Watch yourself, idiot!"

Gai smirked and closed the door.

Utoro did not masturbate not once in that room…neither he returned. He kept to himself and worked after his chat with Gai.

He started to hear more and more rumors about Gai. Gai was considered a silent bully with his black belt, but since Utoro fought him…Utoro was given the big treatment, even Gai played along, by gifts and bows of respect. He snarled, "I did nothing! I just defended myself! Stop this crap!" His blush remained on his face a few times; even when Gotro-sama looked at him…at first…he did not feel like this. Sometimes, he tried to pin point the moment he started to love Gotro…maybe…the interview...no, the first time when Gotro-sama placed all those orders on him during his first week. Which Gotro-sama kept doing the same piles of work, Utoro taught him a thing or two…Utoro was always a step ahead with the help of Donnovanis. This greatly irked Gotro-sama…but Utoro just loved his face…even their times of fights…he would glare at Gotro for a few moments to have those plum eyes look into his…

Utoro groaned when Gotro-sama left. He groaned at his weakness and his yearning…his dreams and mouth yearned for that man to be close. But Gotro-sama was not opening. Gotro-sama was a closed, tight-ass jerk…but Utoro could not help but watch him. Gotro-sama also had a flare for science…a huge flare. Of course, the man was gifted! Gotro-sama was called one of the top scientists of the age…but not many knew his story. Even fewer knew his age, that debate was always the rumor among the lower staff. Everyone placed a bet…the guessed that Gotro-sama was either in his early forties or late fifties. Nearly everyone had at least tried to ask him…

Gotro-sama snarled, "What does my age do for you? Age is an illusion to the person to place that person into a peer group and limited certain gifts of older generations. Guess."

Everyone did, at least once, as Gotro-sama rolled his eyes and walked away and refused to tell the truth.

Utoro was begged to try…as he snarled, "leave me alone! If he did not tell you, then he will not tell me!"

"Common, Utoro-san! I need to know! The guy must be fifty! Donnovanis and he were partners for a few articles in college! If you tell me…I will share the pot!" His friend, Callis, told him.

Callis was a survey researcher, a truly gifted one, but she loved gossip. Her perfect clothing, applied make-up, and her little boyfriend made her the queen bee of gossip. Her black hair was always in a ponytail as she wore her lucky color, which matched her eyes, black. Her mouth formed into a pout as Utoro giggled at her…she reminded him of his sister. Uterena always pouted when he denied her anything she wanted…

Utoro groaned and said, "fine…but you owe me big!"

"What do you desire? I can get you anything!" Callis said with her eyes twinkling.

Utoro said, "two things…one answer to how much is the pot? And…" He blushed as he said, "advice…on asking people out…" He reddened as she shrieked.

He jumped and covered her mouth. Gotro-sama and Gai turned to them. Utoro gulped and said, "We were…teasing each other, right Callis?"

Callis removed his hand and said, "Utoro-san, you are so evil some days! We better finish this in the hall…" She dragged him away and whispered, "who, who, who, who, who, who, and who some more! Tell me!"

Utoro rolled his eyes and said, "what are you? A high school girl! Look…I just need advice…not this crap! Okay."

Callis whispered, "I bet it is Gotro-sama…"

Utoro turned so red…he was purple. He barely breathed, "how…did you….know?"

Callis smirked and clapped twice. She said, "well, I know because Gai did the same thing to me…not lie on top of me and touch my…private parts. But he pursued me to ask me to date Gotro-sama. I did…for six months."

Utoro said quickly, "what is he like outside of work?"

Callis giggled and said, "Boring…the same as in work. Gotro-sama does the same thing every day; he has coffee, talks to the head, goes to the department supervisors, does his business, bugs you, and then he writes another article. At his apartment, he just talked to me about surveys and asked me what I thought about certain topics."

Utoro sighed and said, "Did you…have sex with him?"

Callis laughed as Utoro hid his face from coworkers. She kept laughing as people walked past her and stared at her more than Utoro. Callis gulped and chuckled, "no…the man is boring…that is why I left. He did not even kiss me once."

Utoro turned and said, "Why?"

Callis shrugged and said, "He told me about the nameless cases of STI's and pushed me away gently. He told me that kisses are overrated."

Utoro moaned and said, "Geez, this is going to be hard…"

Callis smirked and said, "Not really…"

Utoro turned to normal color and said, "Why?"

She said, "Because…I think he likes you."

Utoro backed into the wall and gasped, "no…he never stops pushing me and…really? Do you…gossip! You will not…" He turned red instantly as she laughed again.

Callis smiled and said, "I only spread harmless rumors…not this. I would rather have the owner of the rumor tell Gotro-sama the truth. I can start a rumor if—"

"NO!" Utoro screamed as Gotro turned to them and said, "What is the meaning of this? Are you two going to eat or gossip all day? Some people work than play high school…get in there and eat before the lunch break is done."

Utoro came to Gotro-sama and said, "I have a question for you…" He looked into Gotro-sama with new eyes…unlike before with anger, but now…he questioned and looked friendly to Gotro-sama. This change made Gotro-sama stiffen more, but he asked "what?"

Gotro just could get used to the change…Utoro smiled kindly and said, "Would you like to borrow this?" He held up a comic book…with ninjas on the front.

Utoro said, "This is a major manga here and America…I bet you might enjoy it."

Gotro snarled, "ninjas…what business would I want to read a…comic book? Are you trying to insult my intelligence? This is for children!"

Utoro took a small breath…he needed to reach Gotro, one step at a time, and this is what he thought of…by the help from Gai and Callis. Honesty…he said, "Please read it."

Gotro blinked and said, "Why?"

Utoro smirked and said as he forced the book into Gotro's hands, "you might like it. Good day, Gotro-sama." He walked away as he felt his heart leap with joy…he sort of liked being nice to Gotro-sama than this anger…wow…he felt like flying…

Months passed as snow and the glares died down from Utoro…Gotro-sama looked at the secretary with new eyes as he gulped and tried to find reasons to hate him. Each day…it became harder. Gotro-sama hid the ninja book in his office as he went into his office one cold January morning and opened the drawer with the comic inside…he stared at the cover of a yellow haired boy with an orange jumpsuit and the title was called, Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto.

Gotro-sama rolled his eyes and closed the drawer again. He held his chest in awe…just looking at the book reminded him of the memory of Utoro smiling at him…His heart fluttered slightly at the kid…he shook his head and took out a book on biochemistry. He read the same page six times before flinging the book to the floor. His body just…reacted more to Utoro now…he no longer felt angry or threatened…he felt…strange. Just a strange sensation…like he wanted to know more and more about this strange man…

He turned to the drawer again as he slowly took the book out and read…within minutes, he was captured by the art, the characters, the plot as he laughed and stared at the words…he slowly took a piece of paper to mark his place and closed the book.

Gotro-sama turned to book to see where he left off…he read over half of the book…he blinked and put the book into the drawer.

He mumbled, "I am sick…no worse…I cannot explain this…" Gotro stood and went to the elevator quickly. He grumbled as the elevator doors opened and revealed…Utoro holding his papers.

Utoro flushed and said, "Good morning…sir…" He smiled and handed the newspaper over. His hand clicked the ground button as Gotro-sama stood in the way.

Gotro said, "I read the book…not the entire thing but…some."

Utoro smiled even more brightly and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"

Gotro said, "it's…interesting, but the information is all fake…why do people read this?"

Utoro snickered and said, "For fun! For the pure bliss of learning something new…and imaginative, enjoy it…don't think, just read."

Gotro blinked and moved from the closing doors. Utoro quickly said, "When you are done, tell me! I will give you the next book!" The doors closed as Gotro stared at the doors…he never felt this captivated by a comic book or a man in his life…

A few weeks passed, as Gotro-sama made new plan…avoid Utoro at all costs. He was not afraid of this feeling, but he did not trust it. Every time Utoro came close or gave him his papers…Gotro tried to regain his composure…he just looked at the kid and thanked him. Utoro, at first, stiffened and nodded at the etiquette. After a while, he just looked at Gotro and sighed heavily as he left.

Utoro groaned ever time he left Gotro-sama's office…each time, he felt the emotions inside him rush and yearn to be closer…he just could not do it. He kept seeing a wall in Gotro-sama's eyes as he walked away. His emotions betrayed him when he sighed every time he left, but he could not help it….he expected a reaction after letting Gotro-sama to read manga. His expectations fell flat as he just worked and kept his desire to himself.

Gotro had kept reading the manga, so much…the book fell apart on the spine. He started, secretly, buying the series. His smiles and constant flipping through the book made him finish the books in three hours. His eyes hurt, but…he liked it. He was reading something nonscientific and…it did not bother him.

He groaned and turned to the huge window behind his desk. Gotro wanted to speak to Utoro about the book but…he did not know where to begin, what to say, and those feelings…he touched his chest. Was this…no, he made a resolve to never fall in love. Not in fear or old girlfriends, just because…love clouded the mind. He needed to be clear and focused. His promise to himself to be the best scientist was—

BAM! Sobbing came from the door as he slowly turned to Utoro. Gotro felt the urge to run and hug the tears away…instead, he lowered to his chair and said, "Can I help you?"

Utoro tried to choke back the tears, but he sobbed openly, "I need…a week's vacation…next week….please…my uncle just died….I need to help my family…"

Gotro sighed and said, "That is not possible. There are six people out next week, so I cannot—"

Utoro screamed, "MY UNCLE JUST DIED! HAVE YOU NO HEART? Oh…" He slowly stopped sobbing and snarled, "I forgot, you have no heart! You are just the scientist that keeps working while everyone else has imagination, fun, and plays! You do not care if people have families, fall in love, or have STI's! You are just 'plays it safe until I die!' BASTARD!"

Gotro stood and yelled, "My resiliency and my promise to myself is none of your concern! I will give you three days off! That is FINAL!"

Utoro yelled, "FUCK YOU!" He slammed the door as three frames slammed to the ground and shattered the glass. Gotro slowly sat down as he never been so insulted…so hurt…and felt so mad at himself…

Gotro looked at the three frames that fell. His diploma from high school, his "Scientist of the Year," and his award from high school for a science fair project on…body language.

Utoro worked silently after his outburst with Gotro. Of course, everyone asked him about his red eyes and his furious expression. He snarled, "Go away" every time someone asked. His heart was aching…he loved his Uncle Tao with every beat of his heart… Even though his uncle lived in France, they spoke over the emails. His aunt emailed him the news…he usually checked his email early before everyone came…so he sobbed a few minutes before he unlocked the doors to the other employees…that is why, even after a few minutes after his outburst, his shock took a small toll on him. Uncle Tao…he was the only man that Utoro told about Gotro and his feelings for that man…now, Utoro hated him. Utoro felt that Gotro was just too heartless and would never love him back…so what was the point of loving him? He hated thinking this since he felt so…alive with Gotro slowly showing some reaction to him, but then…nothing. The sadness of no returned emotions and regret of lending him one of his favorite manga…Utoro just felt empty. He felt so empty that he wanted to quit than stay here…

Gotro-sama came to the lobby with Gai and said, "let's us test the formula on Chi-san."

Utoro snarled at the advancing men as he could not help but look at the formula…his eyes narrowed at the strange symbols and letters. He groaned, "So you feel you change the world with that math problem? Big deal, now high school students will loath you for your big head and little reasoning for the answer."

Gotro said, "You refuse to ask how to figure it out?"

Utoro stared at him and said, "Zero. I refuse to play your stupid game for a math question that has no reason other than to confuse me." He sighed and said, "Also, I spoke to Donnovanis."

Gai instantly smiled at the mentioning of his lover as Gotro snarled, "And?"

Utoro snarled, "He gave me three days off…"

Gotro snickered and said, "Donnovanis agrees then...you only need—"

The glare that Utoro gave Gotro…Gotro felt his insides shiver as Utoro said, "I have to leave for France! Thank you for your fucking pity! If you excuse me, I have six damn reports to finish, call three secretaries, and finalize a tour before the time I leave. Get you your damn office and leave me alone. I do not want your annoyance, formula or even your face near mine for the next few minutes or I will hit you…trust me. I am in no mood for your shit."

Gotro snarled, "Apologize at once! This is no way you talk to your superior!"

Utoro slammed his keyboard and came out from the desk, He held his fist before Gotro-sama's face as he just stood there…Gotro and Gai stood still as Utoro lowered his hand. He said, "I am not playing that game anymore…" Utoro snarled and returned to his desk to type.

Gotro said, "So you have grown up…have you?"

Gai tapped Gotro's shoulder as Utoro turned to Gotro. Gai shook his head, but Utoro said, "No Gai, I want to be honest with this asshole." Utoro looked directly into Gotro's eyes and snarled, "Everyone hates you and I bet…not many will visit your funeral. I would gladly piss on it to give you fertilizer for weeds on your skull."

Gotro opened and closed his mouth. His disgust was very obvious on his face, but he could not think of one logical thing to refute with. He clenched his fists and glared at Utoro.

Donnovanis came from the hall and said, "Gentlemen, can we calm down? Utoro, I am sorry for your uncle's passing. But, there is no need for this anger. Gotro-sama, can I see you in my office?"

Utoro growled, "I refuse to apologize and quit this company." He glared at both men as the elevator came to the ground floor.

Donnovanis smiled and said, "I hope you stay for a long time, Utoro-san. Also, there is no need to apologize. Gotro-sama needed every piece of shit you threw at him. Please finish your work, so you can leave the minimal work for the substitute secretary in your absence."

Utoro weakly smiled and nodded. He quickly typed and looked at the screen.

Gotro was dragged into the elevator as Gotro snarled, "you are spoiling that brat too much! He will keep—"

"SHUT UP, VOU-KUN!" Donnovanis yelled and turned from Gotro. He said, "I never hated you…as much as I do today…"

Gotro stared at his short friend as Donnovanis continued, "Please…do not hate that boy…never do. Utoro is a brilliant, kind, and a hard worker…but three times in the past couple of weeks, in his eyes…I saw the urge to leave this company…I even hacked into his personal file here…he has been writing a letter of resignation…"

Donnovanis clenched his fists as he continued, "if that boy quits…considered yourself fired. Get out and learn to use that damn imagination of yours!" He shoved Gotro out on the thirty-fifth floor as he stared at Gotro with teary eyes.

Gotro gasped at his boss as the doors closed. Donnovanis said simply, "When will you learn…love is a precious gift…and you might have lost it…" The doors closed as Gotro stared at the doors.

Love…what does love have to do with anything…he stared at the doors for a long time as the answer did not come to him.

Until the day Utoro left for France…Gotro sat at his desk as he stared at the Naruto book he recently purchased…he felt the rush from reading this. He enjoyed the lack of outside knowledge and the pure escapism the book brought him…was this…reading for fun? Was this…imagination? For so long…he read for knowledge and to develop his science experience for better understanding of all the fields of science in the building. But never once…one person made him wonder like…Utoro Chi…

Gotro leaned his head into his hands and moaned. Was this feeling…of fear, yearning, desire, and pure…escapism…love? He never felt like this…for weeks, he felt this was just a passing feeling…fearful of releasing unknown…and…just his eyes…his magnificent dark brown eyes…Gotro could still see the hatred in Utoro's eyes…was it too late?

He stood and ran…his feet bought him to Donnovanis's office while Gai lay on the desk and allowed Donnovanis to rub his lover's stomach. Gai was flushed from the touch, but he gasped at Gotro. Donnovanis kept Gai still by stroking his flesh and said, "Remember what I told you?"

Gotro shook his head and gasped, "I need…a vacation…"

Donnovanis took out three pieces of paper; a plane ticket, and two notices of leave…he said, "I repeat, do you remember what I said?"

Gotro slowly went to his boss and took the papers. He said, "no…but how did you know…I was going after Chi-san?"

Gai smirked at Donnovanis as Donnovanis said, "I will be insulted if you do not invite us to your wedding. Now, go get your man and apologize like a stupid Romeo."

Gotro gasped and opened his mouth twice before saying, "I hate you…"

Donnovanis and Gai laughed; Donnovanis said as his lover cooed under his touch, "go…you have one hour before your plane leaves."

Gotro paced and said, "I did not pack…"

Donnovanis said, "I also deserve an excellent birthday gift for this shit." He pointed with his free hand to the packed bags behind the door…Gotro gasped at them and said, "A taxi…"

"Waiting outside." Donnovanis said as the replacement secretary beeped, "the taxi you requested is here, Donnovanis-sama."

Gotro stared at Donnovanis and said, "how…when…what…why? Yes, why are you doing this for me?"

Donnovanis smiled and said, "Because I care…and I like that kid. Now go, before it is too late." Gai smiled too as he said, "take care…you will love France."

Gotro took the bags and took the papers. He bowed and said, "I will get you something from France for a present…" He ran out as Donnovanis and Gai laughed.

He ran to the elevator as he came to the ground floor. Gotro did not pause for anyone as he ran to the taxi and gasped, "Narita Airport…NOW!"

The taxi driver said, "No problem." She drove off as Gotro sat more correctly and gasped for breath…he never did something this reckless! But it felt good…he wanted to see Utoro. Gotro smirked and flushed at himself…he was running after a man! But that did not bother him that much…he was running after Utoro after all.

The taxi dropped him off as he ran to checking and did the usual checking into the airport…his heart did not stop racing as he sat on his spot on the plane…he watched the sky fly past as he started to think…he did not know where to look for Utoro! Also, he did not know the language nor had a hotel…

Gotro held his breath…wondering if Donnovanis thought that far…as he checked his carry-on. His mouth dropped in astonishment; Donnovanis gave him: a French language book, a reservation for a five star hotel, and a newspaper clipping…of Utoro's uncle…Tao Chi, a famous retired ice skater…he stared at the date for the funeral and the place…it was all there!

He breathed, "I really hate that man…how did he know?"

Gotro also found a cell phone with a text message. The message said: have fun! Also…with a surprise gift, can you bring me back a bottle of wine? Gai wants to try a famous red wine that France only produces. I will not say which one, but be sure it is not cheap! I will know…

He smirked and said again, "I really, really, really, really hate this man!"

Gotro put the stuff away as he only kept out the leaves of absences…Donnovanis gave both Utoro and Gotro the same leave of absence…he smirked and put the papers away. He stared out the window as he tried to calm his heart by breathing. His heart, sweat, and body could stop…he just felt so…alive. He could not wait to see Utoro…maybe not tell him immediately about his feelings but…just to see him would be enough…

Gotro got off the plane and raced to the hotel. He dropped his stuff off and ran to a taxi. His French was slow, but the taxi driver was Japanese…he sighed and said, "Tao Chi's funeral site, please."

The taxi driver said, "Common, there is a crowd but…I bet they can get another man in." Gotro smiled with his whole heart and got in. The taxi came to the funeral sight in a few minutes…the people…Gotro's mouth dropped at the thousands, no millions, of people at this funeral…Utoro was there in that mess…he took a deep breath and looked in his messenger bag and found some Euros…Gotro shook his head and gave the driver some. He took a few deep breaths and entered the crowd as he looked for Utoro or his family…they were blondes so they should stick out…

Gotro moaned at all the blondes…not all of them were related to the Chis, but still…he slowly went closer to the front…they had to be up there! He apologized and slowly came closer to the tighter group that would not let him pass. Gotro said, "please, I am a friend of Utoro's…let me pass."

The people slowly let Gotro pass as Gotro could not believe he said Utoro's first name…it felt good. He gulped as he saw Utoro…he stood beside his, presuming grieving aunt and sister, as the trio sobbed openly. Gotro stalled at their faces…he felt the rush of seeing Utoro, but he had no right to enter this family sadness…but he came all this way…he took the long way around to the back of Chi family…

Utoro gulped his tears as his hand was being held by a foreign hand. He gulped and stiffened while he turned to…his heart leapt in shock…Gotro-sama! His eyes enlarged as Gotro smiled gently. Gotro's hand gently rubbed Utoro's as Utoro just stood there…speechless and stared at Gotro…he was in utter bliss and sadness…he just felt…Utoro turned away as Gotro whispered in his ear, "meet me later…at the Kisva Hotel…ask for me and we can talk…please…I need to speak to you…"

Gotro felt Utoro's hand tighten when Gotro tried to leave. Utoro turned and said, "you are staying…for the service…and…" He continued sobbing as Gotro just stood there holding his hand. Gotro said, "I will stay…"

Uterena and Mrs. Chi stared at Utoro then to Gotro…they turned to each other and then back to the coffin. All four bowed their heads to the coffin as the priest used a microphone to speak in French the final good-byes to Tao Chi.

Utoro slowly backed into Gotro…Gotro wrapped his arms around Utoro as Utoro turned. Gotro looked into Utoro's dark brown eyes…as Utoro said, "my uncle said…he wished his funeral to be a happy one…that I would…finally tell you that I love you…so, I love you…Vou Gotro."

Gotro flushed and said, "Isn't this sort of inappropriate at a funeral?"

Utoro's eyes dripped with fresh tears, but he smiled as he went deeply into Gotro's arms. He said, "maybe…but I don't care…you came after me…my god…I am so…I cannot even think of an adjective to explain my rapid heartbeat…"

Gotro said, "Maybe…body language can…" He leaned forward as Utoro gladly kissed Gotro. They enveloped their bodies close as their mouths connected and their tongues twisted.

Uterena giggled as Mrs. Chi sighed, "well Tao…your favorite nephew finally told his man…I hope you can rest in peace…"

Utoro did not hear them, but Gotro did. They moaned and kept kissing. Their arms rubbed as they kept egging each other on with sucking and breathing into each other. Utoro tightened his grip on Gotro's neck as Gotro rubbed Utoro's sides…they slowly parted when they heard cameras flashing.

Gotro smirked as Utoro's face reddened instantly. They did not part their bodies as they slowly looked at each other. Gotro said, "J'adore Utoro…"

Utoro smiled as he said, "damn…that is so hot…" He kissed Gotro again as the cameras flashed and clicked faster.

That night came slowly after the few interviews that Utoro had to translate; they went into Gotro's hotel room as their mouths were still connected. Their moaning and touching was making them both extremely excited. Utoro groaned, "Touch me…touch all over me…Vou-kun…"

Gotro wanted to, but he gasped, "we should…you know…get to know each other better…than rush into that…"

Utoro smiled gently and nodded. He said, "I am sorry, but I need a shower…" He blushed and spun away. His groan was low when Gotro slowly felt Utoro's hardened member…Gotro groaned and said, "Utoro…we shouldn't…"

Gotro breathed faster when Utoro said, "please…I will not hate you…if we do it tonight…I do not think we can last without touching each other…common…the water will feel good on our skin…"

Utoro took Gotro's hand as they went to the bathroom. He started to undress as Gotro flushed and spun away. His laugh was light as Utoro said, "common…look at me…I am a man, like you…I am not hiding anything now…"

Gotro slowly turned…he never saw anyone so beautiful naked in his life…of course, he never looked at porn, but…he was speechless at Utoro's beautiful body. He was not over weight or under…just perfect…

Utoro said, "Your turn…"

Gotro did not where the urge came from…but he undressed as Utoro turned on the water. He rushed forward and kissed Utoro hungrily. Utoro groaned and wrapped his arms around Gotro. They entered the shower as their emotions, yearning and desire just took over…their hands, bodies and minds were lost into each other's flushed faces….they just kept going until their orgasms were reached…

After an hour in the shower, the men slowly fell onto Gotro's bed. They gasped and sweat from the excitement from the shower…they stared at each other…devoid of words…devoid of energy, but their emotions…they smiled as they cuddled close.

They repeated, "J'adore tu…." Their giggles were exhausted but…they kept close to each other for the entire night…

The week was spent walking together, helping Mrs. Chi, and they slowly spoke of each other. Utoro smirked and nodded at Gotro's science nonsense…Gotro groaned and said, "teach me…more about imagination and…love…things that are hard to explain…please. I want you to be my teacher in these subjects."

Utoro smiled and said, "I would be honored…my Vou-kun."

Gotro smiled instantly and said, "Damn…why did we wait so long to admit our love…I am so sorry…"

Utoro slid his chair closer to Gotro and said, "It does not matter…what matters now…we have each other and a life time to be together…"

Gotro flushed and said, "this could end…are you sure you want to say this will last a life time…when I am older or…" He gasped when Utoro grabbed his hand.

Utoro kissed Gotro's hand and said, "I promise…from this day and forward…you are my partner. No one else will ever steal my heart…from you…my beloved."

Gotro sighed and leaned close to Utoro's face. He said, "I am scared…"

Utoro giggled and said, "why my love…of the future?"

Gotro sighed as Utoro said, "the future is a science crap of mind of making people afraid of leaps…I will always leap with you…don't worry. I will not leave you alone…never ever…"

Their mouths reconnected as Gotro groaned, "work…"

"Fuck them all…" Utoro moaned as their mouths touched again. They gently rubbed their lips as Gotro moaned.

Gotro said, "Utoro dear…"

Utoro smiled at Gotro as Gotro said, "I just want to know one thing…before we return to Japan…" He smiled with flushed cheeks as Gotro continued, "How long…did you have these feelings for me…"

Gotro saw the flush turn to a darker red on Utoro's face…Utoro said, "ever since you tried to test me with all that paperwork…"

Utoro looked at Gotro's smile as Gotro said, "me…well…I am sorry I made you wait…I did not feel the rush until you insulted me about that math formula…"

Gotro did not see Utoro falter from his bright smile. Utoro said, "it does not matter…you are here now…loving me…as I love you back…"

They smiled and flushed at each other…this is how their relationship begun…

Gotro shivered in his sleep as he woke to the present…his wife slept soundly in his arms, and he kissed Utoro's head. He gulped and turned to his bed side table…his phone was vibrating.

He groaned and leaned over to get it. His eyes saw this message: the time is now…the parasite is ready to be tested, but remember your age…you need to be calm, careful and healthy for this to work. I will be joining your company soon to watch you and your fetus. Are you ready?

Gotro turned to his sleeping wife as he texted back: yes I am ready…I want to become a mother. My wife may disagree, but please… His hand went to his flattened stomach as he continued his text I want to have a baby in our name than a surrogate…

The sender text back: alright, I am in. But remember…if I feel at anytime either your life or the fetus's life is in danger…I will terminate the pregnancy. I do not care. I refuse to kill my uncle…

Gotro smiled and text: Yes, Tsuri-chan….I understand.

A/N 2: Yep…common! If Sex Pistols is the major crossover…of course there is male pregnancy! So, there will be a few pregnancies…not saying who, but there will be a crossover of parasites (and normal pregnancies) in all of the series contained in this story. I will not accept flaming, denial or anything connected to insults. This story has a major male pregnancy series as a crossover; as readers, please comment on other things…

A/N 3: Also….I am NOT done with Gotro's and Utoro's history…I am not sure if I will do a long flash back or just…allow them to describe it. But this chapter…damn! It is LONG! Longer than most….I just got into it! But tell me….what did you think, readers? Your comments have helped, inspired, and carried this story on….please be honest. Did you see Gotro like this? This is his previous self…yes, I think I should describe the metamorphosis from asshole to humorous dresser….later though…other couples need some loving XD Thanks for reading!

A/N 4: also for those who are holding their breath and thinking, "not Naruto too!" No, Naruto will not appear…I just wanted a quick and easy manga for Gotro to read…there will be other mentioning of manga that I have either read or my friends. No more series will be added unless there is a major reason for it.
