A/N: TIME TO PARTY! My longest fanfic…to date XD Well fans, thank you for reading! Also, I am not even close to being done…but some interesting times will be a-coming! Stay tuned…

Chapter 50: New Year's (part 2)

Akihiko felt the pressure of being in a room filled with writers and editors like a constant belly ache and headache combined. His smile was fake, but he dearly wanted to be alone and cuddle close to Misaki. But yet again, Goda ruined Misaki beyond belief… Akihiko tried to talk, but his body yearned for his touch…Misaki stared at him with those green confused eyes…Akihiko just could not bring himself to touch him. Also Mio became silent again and watched the pair… The silence annoyed him greatly, so the party was a nice change…

He blinked twice when he saw a new little addition to his brother's arm…Benedict. They stood close as they shared a little kiss.

Akihiko stiffened as he watched Benedict lean closer to Haruhiko, and Haruhiko kissed Benedict's head. He slowly came closer to hear their conversation as the music changed… Bad Luck was late, so the hotel staff played some classical music. But now…it was rock.

He turned to the dance floor as Mio started to dance. His little brother looked happy to let loose and dance like a pro. His movements were timed and perfect angles… Akihiko smirked for a moment as he stiffened. Misaki joined Mio then Shinobu appeared. And then, Nowaki came in as the group danced together. A few couples and single people started to dance to the tune.

Akihiko turned back to Benedict and Haruhiko. They were just chatting in whispers as Benedict smiled happily. Haruhiko smiled to him as they resumed their conversation. He hid among the crowd near Haruhiko and Benedict as he heard some of their conversation.

"So, when do you want your Christmas present?" Benedict asked.

Haruhiko snickered and said, "Later…is it big?"

Benedict smirked and said, "Possibly."

Haruhiko said, "Yours is small…"

Benedict stiffened and said, "You did not have to…"

Haruhiko took Benedict off his arm and said, "Close your eyes…"

Benedict slightly blushed as he did as told. Haruhiko took some little black box from his pocket and pulled out a necklace with a dull stone on the end. Benedict giggled and said, "What is it?"

Haruhiko said, "Be patient." He placed the necklace onto Benedict's neck as Benedict, who still had his eyes closed, shivered at the touch of something against his neck. Haruhiko said, "Take a look."

Benedict opened his eyes and felt his neck. He eyed the necklace and turned to Haruhiko. His smile was very bright and happy as he said, "smoky quartz…you are such a charmer." He wrapped his arms around Haruhiko and kissed his mouth…

Akihiko stared in shock…his older brother stole everything from him, but now…he had his own lover! His editor…but still…Haruhiko kissed Benedict back as they shared a passionate kiss…in the middle of a New Year's party.

Aikawa appeared next to Akihiko and said, "Isn't gorgeous!"

Akihiko blinked and said, "No, this is a disgrace."

Aikawa stiffened and said, "Why?"

Akihiko said, "Benedict is your assistant, and my brother is using him to get to me."

Aikawa groaned and said, "Look, your brother…I do not know him well, but still! Let them be…they look happy."

Akihiko went forward as Aikawa tried to stop him. He glared at her as she released him. His trek brought him to the parting Haruhiko and Benedict. They smiled at each other as Akihiko said, "enjoying yourselves?"

Benedict blinked and said, "Usami-san, well…fancy seeing you here."

Akihiko glared at Haruhiko and said, "You know he is editing one of my books, correct?"

Haruhiko snarled and parted from Benedict. He said, "I did not know until recently that he works for your editor. Do not make this all about you. Your lover is on the dance floor, go bug him."

Akihiko stiffened at Haruhiko's anger since Haruhiko was usually cooler and calmer than this… He said, "Are you implying that I taste my editors on the side? Are you trying to steal information about me from Benedict?"

Haruhiko straightened up and said, "When will you grow up?"

Akihiko curled his fists and said, "This will not continue…I refuse to allow it."

Haruhiko curled his fists and snarled, "I would like to see you stop it."

Benedict moaned and went to the dance floor after saying, "thanks for asking my opinion about our relationship, Usamis." He joined the men in the center as he eased into the rock music.

Haruhiko watched Benedict leave as he said, "Akihiko, this is not about you. If anything, we started dating after…what the fuck?"

Akihiko blinked and turned towards the direction where Haruhiko was looking. He stalled breathing as he took all his might to hold his mouth from dropping. His father, Fuyuhiko Usami, was at the party. Of course, looking sulky but…a young man with green hair was attached to his arm.

Both Usami brothers looked at each other as they went over to their father. Fuyuhiko sighed as Willow said, "so, these are your boys?"

Fuyuhiko said, "Yes, but do not—"

"Who the hell is this?" Both Akihiko and Haruhiko said as they pointed to Willow.

Fuyuhiko sighed and said, "A pest."

Willow smirked and rubbed Fuyuhiko's back. He said, "Willow, and I am your father's new lover."

Fuyuhiko turned away and said, "One night does not—"

"One night, dear? We had three." Willow giggled as Fuyuhiko sneered at him.

Haruhiko shrugged and went to the dance floor… Both Fuyuhiko and Akihiko watched as Benedict and he shared a slow dance together…

Akihiko was still stunned as he watched Willow trying to pull a stubborn Fuyuhiko to the dance floor. Fuyuhiko snarled, "I do not dance."

Willow shoved Fuyuhiko forward and said, "Now you do!" Fuyuhiko groaned as Willow spun him around. They looked silly, but slowly…Fuyuhiko pulled Willow close and showed him some good waltz moves. Willow smirked and looked only at Fuyuhiko.

Akihiko sighed and looked for Misaki. Misaki was exiting the dance floor, but Akihiko spun him into his arms. Akihiko said, "for once…just let go."

Misaki blushed as he looked at Akihiko. He said, "I…never slow danced before…"

Akihiko gently moved closer to him as he said, "I will lead…just let go. And follow me."

Misaki smiled…Akihiko stiffened slightly but smiled back. They embraced each other as they gently spun and waltz together. Akihiko could not believe his luck or heart…he missed Misaki so much, and he finally had him back…slightly. Misaki got closer to Akihiko when the song ended…

Akihiko groaned and prayed for another slow song…his wish came true. He kept dancing as he looked down to Misaki. Misaki was slightly pink, but he held onto Akihiko. Akihiko whispered, "We have been away from each other so long…I have missed you."

Misaki moaned and said, "I know…but…Akihiko…I cheated on you."

Akihiko sighed, "Goda?"

Misaki nodded as Akihiko continued, "how far?" He looked up with his green eyes close to tears as he admitted, "I…had sex with her."

Akihiko stalled and glared at Misaki. He said very carefully, "you…found out…that Goda is…" His arms parted from Misaki as he backed away.

Misaki started to sob as he said, "I do not know what happened! It sort of…did. I am sorry! I truly am because…I love you."

Akihiko stalled as Misaki came forward. Misaki continued, "I think it happened because…of my unfinished sexual desire I had for Goda. But…now…I am confused. I think that I desired Goda for a one night stand because now I do not want him. But Usagi…I love you. I always did…it's just…do we always have to hurt each other like this? I hate you for…leaving me alone in this confusion…why? Why are you allowing me to taste other men than…"

Misaki gasped when Akihiko hugged Misaki closer. Akihiko said, "Goda…was something else. But I think the reason for both of our confusion is not being honest and…"

Akihiko moaned and finished, "compassion for each other. Misaki, I still want to be with you. But we need to change…for the better, healthier and longer lasting love. Do you want to keep—"

Misaki kissed Akihiko…Akihiko stalled but he wrapped his arms around Misaki. They rubbed their mouths and kissed deeply. Misaki licked and sucked Akihiko's mouth as Akihiko kissed back with just as much force. They shivered at the close embrace and slowly let their mouths part. Akihiko smiled as Misaki blushed purple.

Akihiko kissed Misaki's forehead and rubbed his head gently. He said, "I take that as a yes."

Misaki moaned as Akihiko wiped his tears away. He said, "Can we promise one thing?"

Akihiko titled Misaki's head up as Misaki finished, "promise me that another Goda or any man will not come between us? I need…stability in this relationship, Akihiko."

Misaki looked deeply at him as Akihiko kissed Misaki's lips gently. Akihiko said close to his mouth, "yes, I promise. There will only be you…for now and forever."

Akihiko felt Misaki shiver as Misaki wrapped his arms around Akihiko. Misaki said, "I promise too…I know this might be hard to move on from this but…can we? We have faced our fair share of jealousy…"

Misaki moaned as Akihiko kissed his head. Akihiko said, "Yes, as long as both of us want to move on. But…you owe me some time in my room, correct?"

Akihiko looked at Misaki when Misaki turned his head up. Misaki said, "On my terms…but yes. I have…" His lover turned purplish red as Misaki groaned, "Maybe tonight if…you behave."

Misaki yelped as Akihiko lifted him in the air and spun him around. He tried to not smirk, but he laughed and smiled when he reunited in Akihiko's arms. They looked at each other as they kissed each other again; a slow, deep, and desirous touch…as both men pressed against each other's mouth for a longer kiss.

Akihiko slowly parted from Misaki as Misaki moaned in frustration. He giggled and kissed all over Misaki's face. Akihiko said, "later…I have to…what the?" His eyes were connected to Mio getting closer to Shinobu…as their mouths were open to kiss each other… He ran forward as he shoved Mio away and readied his fist for Shinobu's face.

Shinobu blinked quickly at Akihiko's enraged face as Akihiko snarled, "What the fuck were you doing with my little brother?"

Everyone around the three men stopped dancing and gave them some room. The room slowly stopped talking and moving as they watched the three men in the center of the whirlwind.

Mio moaned on the ground and said, "Akihiko, I can handle myself, thank you!"

Shinobu regained his composure and said, "We were just enjoying each other. Does it bother you that your little brother can get men faster than you?"

Akihiko turned to Mio and snarled, "Get out of here, now. We are discussing this outside."

Mio stood and crossed his arms. He said, "I refuse to be moved."

Akihiko turned back to Shinobu and said, "Fine, I will finish this." He pulled back his arm and slammed…into a block. He blinked as he saw Miyagi stood in between Shinobu and Akihiko.

Miyagi snarled, "Do not test me, Usami."

Akihiko smirked and said, "Got something to prove, old man?"

Misaki tried to get to Akihiko and said, "Usagi! Stop this! USAGI!"

Miyagi clenched Akihiko's hand as Akihiko stiffened and clenched his teeth from groaning aloud. The old man had strength… Akihiko used his other fist, but again, Miyagi blocked it. Both men struggled as Akihiko snarled, "no old man is going to stop me!" Miyagi smirked and shoved forward…Akihiko gasped as he was flipped to the ground.

Akihiko gasped again as he stared at Miyagi above him. He snarled, "this…is not…over."

Miyagi grabbed Shinobu and said, "possibly, but do not think you can hit my…ex son-in-law…when I am around." He dragged Shinobu out of the room.

Akihiko slowly sat up as Mio said, "You deserve that." He glared at Mio as Fuyuhiko pulled Akihiko up.

Fuyuhiko said, "will you boys follow me, Haruhiko, you as well." He waited as all three of his sons went outside the still hall. The dancing and talking resumed after the Usamis entered an empty room near the party. Fuyuhiko closed the door as he said, "Well gentlemen, I can officially say…all of you are lunatics."

Haruhiko remained emotionless as Mio said, "Well excuse me! The guy said that he was single and wanted to kiss me! Nothing more!"

Akihiko stiffened and crossed his arms. He glared at Mio and snarled, "Did that guy tell you his name?"

Mio glared at Akihiko and said, "no…but I…wait. Did he…fuck." He turned pink and moaned, "that was Miyagi's ex lover, correct?"

Fuyuhiko said, "That is not the point. All of you are homosexuals, which I cannot allow."

Akihiko sighed and said, "This has been happening for years, father. You cannot stop it now."

Mio said quickly, "who gave you permission to rule my life? I love men! Fuck you and your army if you think you can stop me from having a good time!"

Haruhiko said nothing as Fuyuhiko looked to him. He said, "Father…I care for Benedict."

Akihiko stiffened as Mio turned to Haruhiko. Mio smirked and said, "Cool! You have a lover…so, what is he like?"

"I forbid it, Haruhiko. You will go nowhere in this relationship, besides…your face tells me this fact more than anything." Fuyuhiko said as he watched his eldest son.

Akihiko said, "great, if you are done with me, I will be going—" He turned to walk away, but Fuyuhiko held him back.

Fuyuhiko said, "Possibly…I was homosexual when I was young. But I learned a lot from that relationship: sexual urges are stronger than thought possible when not explained carefully. I knew that it was a mistake from the beginning when all I remembered about my lover was sex."

Haruhiko turned away as Mio snarled, "so what? I loved Adam deeply, and I will love another man again! You cannot stop us! The moment we left our mothers' wombs…you lost control of our destinies. You can try, but I will keep—"

SLAP…the noise vibrated in the room as Fuyuhiko slapped Mio's face. Fuyuhiko snarled, "bastard children like you deserve less than that. You will never be a true Usami, so stop defending Haruhiko. I will make sure you lose your court date about changing your name."

Mio turned and glared at Fuyuhiko. He snarled, "You have no right to even touch me like that. Fuck you to hell, father. I will keep sucking cocks and telling you about it…in passionate detail to scare you! I do not care! I am a homosexual to the end! You can reject me…all you want because…I do not care. I will continue my life the way I want than believe in your precious bubble of insanity." He stormed out and slammed the door behind him.

Akihiko sighed as for once in his life…he pitied Haruhiko. He stopped breathing as he looked at the very stoic Haruhiko. The idea…of pity, compassion and love…Akihiko always hated Haruhiko. Always…their childhood was plagued with silence and stealing…but now. Akihiko just stood there and stared at Haruhiko with slightly different eyes than before. He saw a man, like himself, torn between loving a man and trying to be true to himself. Sure, the Usami brothers had different lovers and sides of 'being true to himself,' but…they were the same. Akihiko would never admit this aloud, but…he was like his older brother. So much…it made him breathe again but in a whisper.

Haruhiko said, "When will I be able to love someone I choose, father? You believe forced marriages or yelling at me about homosexuality will change my mind about Benedict? What if I admit that I love him? What would you say then?"

Fuyuhiko said, "You are a fool."

Haruhiko stalled and stared at his father. He slowly said, "You…don't even know Benedict or how I feel about him…how can you say these things?"

Fuyuhiko said, "easily since I been in the center of homosexuality and got hurt… I will stop you both from making the same mistakes I did."

"You cannot stop it, father," Akihiko snarled and finished, "Misaki and I are staying together whether you like it or not. I love him more than life itself."

Fuyuhiko said, "The pair of you broke up and touched other men…adultery will not bode well on either of your hearts."

Akihiko snarled, "We will be fine! I will not let Goda control either of us anymore."

Fuyuhiko said, "well, that is interesting…the man that stole some stock from me is using my son… So, did you see the twisted ways of homosexuality with that man? The same can come from Misaki someday."

Akihiko curled his fists and said, "Misaki loves me!"

Fuyuhiko snarled, "Love blinds you from the truth! Misaki is a middle class man…not knowing of our influence and monetary power. He could turn, very easily, into your mother…"

Akihiko growled and stiffened into a battle pose, "stop it."

Fuyuhiko finished, "when will you boys learn? Money is a gift and pleasure for us since we know how to use it. But your lovers…do they know what your money can do to them? What the family will say? What will change if they even have thoughts of joining our family? I will never allow them into our family, so stop this fantasy and live in the real world. Homosexuality is a joke among you both since you have not seen the true torture behind the smirks…people will always mocking you. People will always hurt you and then go after your lovers…save yourself and them. End it before it is too late."

Haruhiko just stood there; like a tree, stiff and emotionless. He just watched the scene as he looked away and sighed heavily.

Akihiko was pissed as he said, "I would love to see you try to stop me. I would adore seeing you stop Mio! I know Haruhiko is a weakling since he cannot even defend his lover. Benedict deserves better than you."

Haruhiko glared at Akihiko and walked out after slamming the door.

Fuyuhiko sighed and said, "This conversation is not over."

Akihiko stormed to the door as he growled, "you can talk all you want, but it will always go in one ear and out the other!" He slammed the door twice and groaned darkly at the door. His breathing was heavy as Willow came to him.

Willow said, "Well…that was interesting."

Akihiko snarled, "What the fuck do you do to him? He is just as passionate trying to rip me away from my lover. Do not think I like you for…what?"

Willow smiled and said, "give me a few weeks and your father will change. I was serious about having sex with him and holding his arm. I am his pet, or I should say…sex slave."

Akihiko blinked and said, "So he is that desperate to have sex? Asshole." He walked away as Willow finished, "possibly, but…do you want me to talk to him about the purity of homosexuality or allow the natural process happen?"

Willow smiled and said as Akihiko turned to him, "I…can feel the frustration in Fuyuhiko's kiss and touch. The man is hurt…but I need time to teach him."

Akihiko snickered and said, "You like him, already? How long have you been with him?"

Willow giggled and said, "slightly and…since Christmas."

Akihiko smiled and said, "keep what you are doing…do not tell me. Just be sure…you annoy him a lot. He needs a few lessons in homosexuality…but never. I never thought he was a homosexual."

Willow nodded and said, "As a teen."

Akihiko stalled as he turned to Fuyuhiko exiting the room. Fuyuhiko snarled, "Willow, leave my son alone."

Willow smirked at Fuyuhiko and went to him. He said, "We were just chatting, besides…you need some alcohol. Common, they are serving some good shit in there." His arm entwined with Fuyuhiko's as Fuyuhiko moaned and allowed Willow to take him in.

Fuyuhiko lipped, "do not get any ideas about this…it is meaningless." He glared at Akihiko as Akihiko lipped back, "that's what you think."

Akihiko smirked at his father's glare as Fuyuhiko was taken back to the party. He went back in as Misaki went to him instantly.

Misaki said, "Mio called me! He is going back to the apartment…should we leave too?"

Akihiko stared at Willow and said, "No…I am curious to see what happens next."

Misaki looked and said, "is that man…with your father?"

Akihiko wrapped an arm around Misaki and said, "Yep…interesting pairing, huh?"

Misaki opened and closed his mouth. He admitted, "I would have never seen your father with a man…"

Akihiko nodded and said, "neither did I…until now."
