After depositing an unconscious Kanji onto the sofa, Yuu sat down on his unmade futon. Yosuke joined him, sitting a little away from him. Yuu made a small noise in his throat and threw his head back suddenly, releasing an exasperated sigh.
"Unbelievable..." he uttered as his body hit the futon with a soft thud "...and I just showered." Yosuke uttered a slightly nervous laugh.
"Really Narukami? That's what's bothering you?" Yuu turned his head to look at him, the hot pink slowly fading from his cheeks. His expression was calm and unmoved. Yosuke sighed, "Nevermind!" he took out his phone as it vibrated in his pocket - a text from Rise. He blinked at it a few times before he rose to his feet and hit the call button. I suppose...he's 'technically' alright...if that's what you call alright. It didn't take long for her to answer the call.
"Hi! Is...Senpai alright then?" she asked with a slight quiver in her tone. Ugh, stupid Yosuke! She's so worried...
"Rise! Y-yeah! He's fine - definitely alright." as he spoke, Yuu rose from his position and walked over to the sofa to inspect Kanji with an almost morbid curiosity. Turning to stare at him intently, he muttered "Could you pass me a pen?" Yosuke sighed as he handed a biro to him. "Yep...he's totally fine..."
"Is that Rise? May I...?" he asked as he extended his hand. Yosuke nodded and handed his cell phone to Yuu, who smiled as he spoke softly into phone. His gentle words of reassurance also quelled some fears Yosuke had been harbouring, he laughed quietly as he dismissed Rise's worries and Yosuke's foolishness. Yosuke scoffed as he heard himself being dismissed. Yeah, it's alright for you! We were worried man...I was worried...he felt his hand tighten into a fist. His attention was drawn back to Yuu as he flipped the phone shut. He focused on it for a moment before handing it back.
"I'm really sorry for all the trouble." He smiled and lowered his head "The last thing you guys need is for me to be a burden to you." Yosuke tried to smile, but it was strangely difficult.
"You're not a burden! Never dude!" he put his hands in his pockets "Although...we do have to take care of this..." he faltered "...problem."
"Hmm...what do we know about this? It's never happened before." he said thoughtfully, moving back to the futon to sit. Yosuke pondered on this. It was true that a status ailment had never followed them from the TV world before, there was a possibility that it wasn't from the TV world.
"Okay...how do we know it's from the TV world?" This wasn't met with great fervour "Alright then, we get Yukiko to heal you; like she would any other status ailment!" Yuu considered this and then shook his head. "Huh? Why not?"
"I already did that with my own Persona just before we left the dungeon last night - as a precaution. I didn't feel quite right then so..." he shrugged "And sleeping on it didn't help either." Yosuke scratched his head. Damn...I keep forgetting he has more than one Persona...
"We don't have time for this!" blade-grey eyes focused on Yosuke - piercing through him like a sword "Shirogane is still trapped within that dungeon - and we must save him!" his voice was forceful, slightly strained. He lay back on the futon and curled into a foetal position away from him. Yosuke scratched his cheek as he wracked his brain - then he realised something fundamental and clicked his fingers.
"That's it! We can call Teddie! I know he's a total dunce with our world - but he might be able to shed some light on this for us!" He watched as Yuu cringed, curling himself tighter.
"Teddie? Please...I'm already mortified you two know about this..." Yosuke folded his arms.
"Would you rather it was the girls who knew about it?" Yuu turned his head to look at him, uttering 'Good point, well made' with a carefully blank expression. "Besides - we don't need to tell him you have it, we just need to ask about it." by this time Yosuke had already pressed the dial button. Yuu was still disagreeing with the 'Call Teddie' plan, quite vocally.
"Hellooooooo? Yosuke? This is Teddie speaking!" Yosuke pulled the phone away from his ear as this sentence was screamed through the speaker.
"Quit yelling ya' dumb bear!" he squealed back "Now listen! I have a serious question to ask you - are there any people near you? In earshot?" the bear seemed to think about this for a lot longer than he needed to before answering.
"No, not really. How important is this? I'm kinda busy..." Yosuke ground his teeth, Busy?! What the hell are 'you' busy doing?! You're not 'working' anyway! Clearing his throat, he tried to think of the best way to approach him without casting too much suspicion on Yuu being the subject of the matter.
"Well...I was just wondering - for future reference of course - if status ailments from the Tv world could somehow follow us into the real world." Teddie made a small noise on the other end of the phone.
"Hmmm...I wonder..." there was a substantially long pause.
"Um...I take it you don't know then?" he voiced, leaning on Yuu's side table as he watched him. His shoulders rose and fell slowly - he had fallen asleep.
"I'm thinkin'! You can't rush these things y'know!" Teddie squawked from the other side of the line "It's never happened to us before has it? Why are you worried about it?" he asked, Yosuke swallowed and tried to think of an answer quickly.
"Well um...I..." he grasped at the words forming sentences in his head "I...worry about y'know...'Charm' affecting me or something! That'd be really inconvenient if it followed us through right?! I was just wondering what the best plan of action would be?" he said trying to sound as genuine as possible. Teddie munched on something audibly before retorting.
"Hmmm...well most ailments wear out themselves after a period of time right? So maybe an ailment like that could just 'Run-its-Course' shall we say. Maybe encouraging it will make it go away quicker?" he said in a casual way. The conversation ended there though, as he heard Teddie call attention to someone walking by him. Yosuke sighed and held the phone to his forehead. Encourage it? What the hell does that mean for us? He shot a glance to Yuu, who was moaning softly in his sleep. He swallowed harshly as he felt his heart begin pounding in his chest. Wait...with his condition...he doesn't mean-?! Yuu turned to face Yosuke suddenly, breathing out quickly through his nose. It wasn't an unpleasant sound, Yosuke thought.
"Are you alright Partner? Your face looks a bit flushed..." he said in a slurred way, still half asleep. Yeah, so does yours...Partner...Yosuke felt his leg tremble slightly as he felt something he knew he shouldn't, something he'd never felt before. Tingling; rising like millions of tiny bubbles from below his belly button to his chest, before slowly floating back down towards his groin as they fizzed and popped. He squirmed. I...can't be feeling this! The feeling didn't last long though; as he turned his face away in shame he was met with a Moustach'd Kanji, who looked rather bemused. Yosuke couldn't help himself from laughing hysterically before clamping a hand over his mouth. After the laughing (and death threats) was over, Yosuke and Kanji stood facing Yuu, who was still sitting on his Futon.
"So...you alright now Senpai?" Kanji asked, rubbing his face with a damp cloth Yuu had provided. Yosuke shoved his hands in his pockets. What was that...just now? Did I seriously just get turned on by our Leader...the hell is that all about... Yuu nodded, his calm expression didn't waver.
"Yes, I'm fine." he looked towards the window as they heard rain splattering against the glass "I'll have to be." He stood suddenly and walked towards the Tv, his fingers probed its surface momentarily causing it to ripple. "It's going to be raining from now till Wednesday. Tomorrow is Saturday - I suggest we meet early after school to make the most of the day and get through that dungeon. Shirogane is counting on us; we can't let him down." A flash of lightening and an unholy clatter of thunder served as an exclamation mark to his sentence. Kanji punched the air in agreement before shouting something obscene as he realised he'd left his bike outside and had to run home. Yosuke laughed in a mild way before pinching the bridge of his nose in irritation.
"You'd better get home too. Rest up for tomorrow." Yosuke nodded in agreement before making his way downstairs. He thought about his unexpected feelings as he pulled his shoes onto his feet. Perhaps it was just a side-effect from being around Yuu with his status ailment. After lifting his bag from the step and shouting a farewell into the house he left. As he walked slowly in the rain, he thought about what Teddie had said. Encourage it...do we need to satisfy Narukami? He raised his hand to his chest as his heart began to race. Stop that! Narukami is my best friend...my Partner...my Partner...After a moment or two he noticed he had stopped moving. If...he needs me like that...will I...? Scowling, he shook his head frantically and began to run.
Yeah, like that'll ever happen!
+.+.+.+.+
It was raining alright. Pouring down from the heavens as if it might never stop. The fog had not yet descended though. Yosuke jogged as he spotted familiar faces up ahead. Calling out, he was only mildly surprised to see that Chie had forgotten her umbrella as well, and was mooching shelter from Yukiko. They both smiled as he approached.
"Forgot yours too huh?" Chie chuckled. It wasn't so much that he'd forgotten, it was more that in his blind panic leaving the house, he didn't care if he had it. He stepped obligingly under Yuu's umbrella, who had extended his arm to shelter him since he arrived. Smiling as he waved her comment away, he tried to keep his eyes forward.
"Did either of you watch the Midnight Channel last night? It was so awful...we need to get Shirogane out of there and save his reputation!" Yukiko said softly, Chie agreed generally as did Yuu. His reputation? Haha...what about ours? We've all exposed our souls; our darkest feelings made public to everyone in that world. He flinched as Yuu touched his shoulder.
"Everything okay? You just stopped all of a sudden." Chie said in a concerned manner. Yosuke nodded and continued walking at a steady pace. Nearly all of them...anyway...It seemed like the walk was going on forever, but they eventually made it to school - and their homeroom. Sitting in his seat, Yosuke was aware he was dripping quite profusely. Shit...I'm soaked through to my shirt!
"So Narukami! You feeling better now? Rise was saying you caught a cold." Chie said as she removed her coat and bag. Yukiko also turned around in her seat as she patted the damp tips of her ebony hair.
"Yeah, are you sure you'll be alright for tonight?" Yuu nodded and smiled. Chie and Yukiko smiled back and continued to chatter amongst themselves. Yosuke noticed that Yuu's face bore a familiar pink, warm expression. At least they just think he's sick...he thought as he removed his own blazer - it was so wet it was heavy. He 'is' sick...in a way. Yeah, it's like an illness!An 'Ailment'...of course... It's not his fault. He watched as Yuu slumped forward in his seat, resting his head on his folded arms. His breathing was irregular. He's really suffering...I'm sorry. I just...don't know what's going on with me right now...
The day seemed to pass slowly; each period, Yuu seemed to be struggling more and more to control whatever was raging inside his body. The last period before lunch, Yosuke saw his shoulders shaking - Chie uttered something softly to him, but he shook his head. She turned and gave Yosuke a pained, frightened expression. Yosuke clenched his fists. That's it, I've had enough!
"Sir! I need to take Narukami to the Nurse's Office!" Yuu looked behind him in abject horror - if his eyes could have torn him asunder, they would have. Mr. Kondo regarded Yosuke carefully for a moment, looking between the two before finally sighing and dismissing them. Yosuke practically had to drag Yuu from the classroom.
"What are you-?!" Yuu protested, Yosuke stopped dragging him as they got to the stairwell - Yuu was pleading with him to stop. "I...I can't..." he grabbed Yosuke by the shoulder and grasped the fabric tightly. His breathing was heavy and audible now, echoing in the empty stairwell. Gulping, Yosuke gripped Yuu's free shoulder with his hand and lowered his head.
"It's alright man. Just let it happen. You'll feel better." Yuu jerked as Yosuke's hand touched him, but he kept holding him. He looked into his eyes, his silver locks clinging to his damp face.
"B-But-!" he gasped, Yosuke didn't let him finish. He wrapped his arm around him, pulling him close to him as he had done for him not too long ago. He flinched as the force of Yuu's body spasming caused him to rock back on his feet. After a moment or two, the intense grip that had been pulling his shirt lessened. Yuu's breathing was still quick and heavy, but more steady. Releasing him from the embrace, Yosuke felt his cheeks burning.
"Haha...I'm no 'You' when it comes to pep talks huh..." He laughed to himself as Yuu rubbed his face with his arm. "Do you feel better now?" he probed. Yuu looked at him with a sweet, gentle smile and thanked him. After a few hurried words along the lines of "Bathroom" and "Wash Face" were exchanged, Yosuke made his way back to the classroom. I didn't think I could handle this...but at the end of the day; he would do the same for me. I know he would. The only thought that seemed to stick in his mind, however, was that when Yuu had subsequently crashed into him as they touched - he definitely couldn't feel an erection of any kind. This thought made his face burn crimson. Why am I even thinking about that?! He was relieved when he heard the bell for lunch time sound. Rubbing his cheeks in an effort to make them lose colour, he made his way to the classroom. Yukiko and Chie stood as he entered.
"Is he alright?! He looked awful! I could feel the heat from him sitting next to me!" Chie blurted out. Yosuke smiled and put up his hands.
"He's fine! He probably just needs to throw-up or something!" he made his way to his seat, quickly rifling around in his bag for his lunch "He'll be back soon, he's just getting a check up." Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief and sat down. Retrieving her own lunch from her bag. It wasn't long before Kanji and Rise joined them. Kanji gave Yosuke a knowing look as he regarded the empty chair. "He's good, just taking a breather." he said without looking up. The more he said that he was fine, the more he wondered if he actually was. They assumed that whatever this status ailment was, it was just going to disappear at some point. Would it?
"Eating without me? So cruel..." he scoffed at the sarcasm. Thank god...smiling, he closed his eyes as he felt the chair in front of him being pulled out sat on.
+.+.+.+.+.+.+
They had made a fair dent in the dungeon, only one more floor now - or so Rise suspected. The physical toll on Yuu was showing though, and he was struggling to keep pace with the group. He collapsed to his knees suddenly, Yosuke was grateful there were only a few shadows remaining on the floor now.
"Dammit!" he cursed through gritted teeth. Kanji was closest to him, so he was the first to react to his sudden stop.
"Senpai!" as Kanji turned and reached for him, Yuu raised his arm; his katana outstretched towards him, halting him. Breathing heavily, he allowed himself to fall onto his backside and lowered his arm. "It's...that...'aint it?" Kanji said quietly, the others slowly moved towards them, cautiously in case any Shadows approached. Yuu made no attempts to get to his feet.
"I-I can't go on like this." he said breathlessly. Kanji knelt beside him and addressed Yosuke as he approached.
"Yo, Senpai...he's too sick to continue..." he said darkly, knowing what that meant. If they didn't find the final door by tomorrow night, Shirogane would be consumed by his Other Self. Yuu suddenly screamed, loudly and ferociously. The only thing that could be heard after the echoes had stopped reverberating, was the sound of Yuu's weapon clattering against the metal panelling of the far wall. Leaning back on his arms, he gasped for breath as sweat rolled down his burning cheeks. After an exchange of worried glances, Yukiko knelt down in front of him and tried to comfort him. This isn't him. Yuu wouldn't do this! He's the one who calms 'us' down! He's the one who's always as cool as a cucumber no matter what happens! Who are you?! What have you done with our Leader?! He gulped as he felt his nails boring into the flesh of his palm; if he sustained the grip, he could've drawn blood.
"It's alright - we still have one more day. We should save our energy." she said slowly. Yuu looked at her, and then up at the group as if noticing them for the first time; previously glazed eyes suddenly focused. He shook his head.
"This isn't helping anything is it...I'm sorry." he said levelly, taking a deep breath and exhaling "We've made good progress, but we need to get to the epicentre tonight." he moved and shakily got to his feet; staggering backwards once or twice before he steadied himself. "I...can't fight anymore. Hanamura - will take my place for now." Yosuke had still been reeling from his sudden outburst from before, his jaw nearly hit the ground.
"M-M-Me?! I can't take your place!" he stammered, Yuu shook his head and pushed his glasses up on his nose.
"You're the only one who can. I trust you Partner, whole-heartedly. You can do this." He looked to the group, who also nodded in agreement with his decision. It was then that Rise piped up, previously silent.
"Yeah! It should be smooth sailing from here anyway Senpai! There are only a few shadows left on the floor and you're only likely to encounter one of them on the way up!" She said, a slight nervous tone to her voice. Yuu nodded, his body noticeably trembling.
"And patterns in the Arcana suggest that Ice, Fire and Wind elements are going to be most useful to you. You'll be fine." It's good to hear that voice again...I'm glad he came back. Despite this condition...Narukami...
Now that he was fired up, he promised Yuu he would find the door to the final floor - the one where Shirogane and his Other Self resided. Yuu on the other-hand conceded defeat, and let Kanji help him to the front of the dungeon - a lack of special items meant they had to walk. Kanji supported him gingerly, knowing that if he was touched he might- his thoughts were interrupted as Yuu went limp in his arms, the sudden weight causing Kanji to lose his grip slightly. Catching him as he fell, he held him gently until he felt him stir on his own. Blushing, he lifted him cautiously - it was no use. He had absolutely no energy left.
"Um...I can give you a piggy-back...if y'want..." he said quietly, his blush growing deeper. Yuu nodded with a grunt, his hair obscuring most of his face. Getting into position, Kanji grabbed his legs and shifted his weight so that Yuu's arms were over his shoulders. He felt their grip tighten on his neck as he began to walk. Kanji could feel his heart racing as he felt Yuu's warm body, his laboured breaths against his back. The heat radiating from him was unbelievable. Walking a little faster, he shifted Yuu's weight once more, so he was higher on his hips. Guy might look like a twig, but he's kinda heavy...he thought as he trundled down another set of stairs. Fuckin' place goes on forever! At least we wiped out all those assholes earlier...It was odd, he thought, despite the fact that Yuu was quite obviously suffering the effects of the Shadow STD (this is what Kanji thinks it is), he couldn't feel anything...down there. There was no more heat than anywhere else, nor a bulge of any kind. It was then Kanji started to run - he wanted to get out of there as quick as possible (he was getting flashbacks to the sauna). If it hadn't been for Yuu giving a pained yelp from behind him, he might have continued running indefinitely.
"S-Senpai?" they were close to the entrance now, only one more set of stairs. Knowing this, Kanji lowered Yuu to the ground and knelt down beside him. "Not long now...sorry if I hurt ya..." he mumbled, his face feeling as though it were melting. Sweat dripped from Yuu's face, each breath was laboured and painful. Kanji's expression twisted into one of torment. What...what can I do for you? He asked silently, his hand reaching out of its own accord to brush away his soaking bangs. Yuu reached up and held his hand with both of his, bringing it to his chest. Kanji couldn't help but flash a glance to his groin - there was really nothing there. Unless he was wearing really tight briefs, there was no indication he was aroused apart from his other body language. Lost in his thoughts, it wasn't until he felt the soft flesh of Yuu's lips on his fingers that his attention was brought to what Yuu had been doing with his hand.
"Nn-uh " was all he could manage; Rise was the one who interrupted this time (and he was glad of it).
"Kanji! I don't know what's going on with Senpai's vitals, but you need to get him out of there! Why have you stopped so close to the entrance?!" Reality slapped him in the face as he grabbed Yuu's arm and supported him as he ran to the stairs. That's dangerous Senpai! Waaaaay too dangerous! He screamed in his mind. Yuu moaned inwardly as they walked along the corridor to the exit, his grip tightened momentarily. Kanji gulped, he couldn't keep this up could he? I mean...I...well...only once every couple days and it takes it outta me when I do. He thought as he shifted Yuu's weight to keep him upright, his feet were beginning to drag, unwilling to walk. Rise was waiting by the entrance, jumping from one foot to the other. Kanji tried to hide his embarrassment as Yuu pulled away from him. Rise squealed suddenly and ran to Yuu's arms, she embraced him tightly and snuggled into his chest. She said his name softly, her cries stifled as she buried her face into his shirt. Yuu stiffened for a moment and then wrapped his arms around her, comforting her. His glasses slid from his face as he lowered his head to talk to Rise, they clattered on the ground by their feet. Kanji looked on, feeling a little left out - Yuu had shied away from his touch, but welcomed hers. Well...it's freakin' obvious why...Senpai's not...not 'like that'...why would he hug a guy. He thought as he moved beside them, picking up Yuu's glasses as they released from the hug. Yuu wiped a stray tear as it rolled down Rise's pink cheek.
"I'm sorry Senpai...it's just that you're vitals were so shaky then that I-" he raised his hand and smiled, muttering something about 'I wish I wasn't so sweaty - this is a little embarrassing...' Rise laughed and summoned Himiko. "The others are battling - they need my support." she said as the visor appeared over her eyes. Yuu nodded and turned his attention to Kanji, who was standing a little away from him rather sheepishly. He extended his hand and a thanks as his glasses were given back to him.
"You'd better head back - in case they need you." Kanji was about to protest, but Yuu ran his fingers through his sodden hair and exhaled heavily. "I'm fine now...but I still can't fight. I'll call it a night and go home." he said levelly, walking past him slowly. Kanji wanted to object - to pick him up and take him home. All he could manage was a submissive grunt, and he walked back into the dungeon, his thoughts never straying from his leader and his well-being.
+.+.+.+.+.+
They had reached the final door. The fog would descend tomorrow night. This was cutting it really, really close. Yosuke walked behind the others as they made their way out, joined by Kanji - who made it to them just as they discovered the door. He and Kanji exchanged glances before shifting their gaze to the floor.
"This isn't working is it?" Yosuke said quietly, making sure the girls and Teddie couldn't hear their conversation. "It's not going away...he feels better for awhile and then it comes back..." he voiced. Kanji nodded, shoving his hands in his pockets, he looked behind him shiftily.
"Yeah...not to mention he aint actin' like himself. He's fine once he...y'know...but it's like he's some other guy till he does. It's not cool man..." he sighed, thinking back to when he felt Yuu's lips on his fingers - he looked at his hand for a moment. "How can we help him?" he said finally. Yosuke shrugged his shoulders uneasily and hung back a little further from the girls, lowering his voice once more.
"Well...I think one way is to...um..." He struggled for the correct term "Satisfy his urges - y'know...we can help." Kanji's brow furrowed as he tried to understand what Yosuke was saying. "Ugh you know! Give him a...hand with his condition?" Realisation dawned.
"THE HELL AM I DOIN' THAT TO SENPAI!" he screamed. The group in front stopped and turned to look at them with mild interest. Yosuke punched Kanji in the back of the head before shouting an apology to the group. A collection of shaken heads and comments along the lines of "Couple o' weirdos..." resulted in them turning and continuing towards the exit. Kanji rubbed the back of his head as they walked.
"S-seriously though! W-we can't do that!" he stammered, feeling like his face was filling with hot water. Yosuke grunted beside him, scratching his cheek absently.
"Haha...I know right?" he closed his eyes "But...we might have to. We're the only ones who know about this - it's not like he has a girlfriend who can do it...and it obviously doesn't work if he's the one doing it." he felt his mouth wanting to snap shut with every word. "We...can try...if it doesn't work then that'll be the end of it okay?!" he almost shouted, but managed to keep his composure. Kanji reeled, but agreed. They decided it would be best to approach him tomorrow morning - they were going to meet in the afternoon to strategise for Shirogane's Other Self.
Yosuke gulped as he knocked on the door. What if Mr. Dojima is home...what if little Nanako...?! Panic overwhelmed him - if it hadn't been for Kanji standing directly behind him, he would have turned on his heel and run all the way to Junes.
"You okay Senpai? We're still doin' what we said right?" he asked plainly, looking up as the door opened a crack. Yosuke closed his eyes as it was opened all the way, and Yuu stood before them both. He was only half dressed - still wearing his jogging pants and an unbuttoned school shirt.
"I thought we weren't meeting till later? Did something come up?" Kanji ducked to eye level and put down his umbrella.
"Naw, we just need to speak with you about...somethin'..." he faltered, and looked to Yosuke for support "R-Right?" Yosuke nodded with reluctance and asked for permission to enter. Yuu stood aside and let the two of them in the house, out of the rain. After taking off their shoes, Yosuke stepped tentatively into the living-room, fidgeting with his headphone wire.
"Um...is Mr. Dojima...or Nanako home today?" he asked sheepishly, peering around the corner to look upstairs. Yuu took Kanji's coat and hung it up on the peg before answering.
"No, my Uncle was called to another town unexpectedly for work - and Nanako is staying at a friend's over the weekend." he said carefully "Lucky for me, considering what's been happening." he said with a smile as he tried to unbutton his sleeve cuffs - Nanako had obviously buttoned them after she washed them. Yosuke breathed a sigh of relief and then stood in front of Yuu with as much of a serious expression as he could muster.
"Okay...I'm just going to come out and say it - because there's no point in beating around the bush-Um...I mean...well there's...there's no point in stalling with this any more than we have to...because..." he could feel his cheeks burning as Yuu's stony gaze bore holes in his face.
"You realise you're stalling...as you're talking about not stalling." he said bluntly, finally managing to unbutton his cuff. Yosuke turned away from him.
"Listen! Just...shut up alright?! This isn't easy for me!" He heard Kanji sigh.
"Senpai...we were wondering if you wanted any...help...with your STD..." Yuu's expression could have stopped a naval fleet.
"...I have an STD?" Yosuke snapped, turning to grab Yuu by the shoulders.
"Listen! We want to know if you need help okay?! Do you need help?!" Yuu smiled awkwardly and muttered something about Yosuke needing help. Feigning to cry, Yosuke fell to his knees in front of Yuu and folded his arms, hugging himself. The silence was unsettling, he darted a glance upwards and found an unexpected, contrite expression on Yuu's face. Getting to his feet, Yosuke stepped forward with Kanji.
"Would you think any less of me, if I said yes?" he uttered, his eyes fixed to the ground. He looked...almost ashamed. Raising his eyes to meet theirs, he took a step back. "N-Not that I need help as such..." he paused to think "Despite this feeling, I can't seem to maintain an erection..." Kanji frowned.
"I thought that was the problem?" he said bluntly. Yosuke nodded, more to himself than Kanji. He had had suspicions about his lack of sexual arousal.
"So...your body just feels that way huh? You're not actually excited sexually right?" Yuu nodded, seeming to feel a little more at ease talking about it. "So, when you..." a look was enough "You're not actually..." a nod.
"It's like an odd pseudo-climax...I can feel it building up, like a normal one would - but there's no erection or any definite release. It feels as though it retreats for awhile, then comes back stronger." his matter-of-fact manner of speaking always put them at ease, the conversation seemed less like an awkward sex education tape now. He breathed through his nose thoughtfully. "I can't stimulate myself at all. It feels as though I'm being punished." Smiling at Yosuke, he turned and made for the stairs, touching Kanji on the arm as he passed.
"So...you really want us to do this?" Without turning around, he uttered an affirmation and jogged up to his bedroom. Yosuke and Kanji looked at one another and gulped. This is insane! How are we ever going to be able to look at each other again after this?! He screamed in his mind as he followed Kanji up to the room, he gently closed the door behind them as they entered and braced himself. Yuu looked at him speculatively, as he stood by the door rigidly with his eyes closed.
"Yosuke?" opening his eyes, he expected to see Yuu totally naked and covered in oil - he was not. Laughing nervously, he sat down on the sofa next to Yuu. Kanji was on the other side of him. They sat in silence for a good 2-3 minutes before Yuu broke it. "Would blindfolds help?" Yosuke nearly screamed.
"What?! Why do you have blind folds?!" Yuu dug around in a box close to the sofa for a few moments before producing 2 lengths of fabric and one eye mask.
"I'm crafty in my spare time." he said bluntly. Yosuke swore at the blank expression he made. Kanji took one of the lengths of fabric and regarded it critically.
"Hey...this stuff is pretty nice! It's thick and it has an elasticity to it - where'd you get it?" he said as he stretched the material between his hands. Yuu answered in a very general way before handing the eye-mask to Yosuke. Yosuke took it grudgingly and held it at arm's length. He watched as Yuu tied the material around Kanji's head, making sure it obscured his vision. Then did the same for himself. He scoffed as he heard Kanji compliment it's nice texture and comment on how opaque it was. This is ridiculous...
"Have you put yours on Yosuke?" he smiled "It makes it easier...knowing that neither of you can see me. I'm confident enough in my sexuality to know that I'm not into guys...this just makes it easier to pretend you're girls." That makes sense...he thought as he slipped the blindfold on. It was eerie, in the darkness - only the rain hitting the window and the ticking of the clock could be heard.

Nothing. He was pretty sure nothing was happening. A good amount of nothing had been happening for the past 10 minutes.
"Uh..." that was Kanji. Yosuke lifted the bottom corner of his eye-mask to peer at the other two guys; Yuu had leaned back on the sofa, his head resting on the back so that his face was staring up at the ceiling. Kanji on the other hand was sitting perfectly straight. Rigid even - Yosuke was sure if the sofa had been removed he would remain in that position. This is pointless...why are we doing this?! "So...Senpai...um..." Kanji muttered, his hand touching the back of his head nervously. Please stop talking...you're making it worse. He decided to take the eye-mask off - determining it wasn't making a difference to how uncomfortable this all was. Thunder billowed outside, he noticed Yuu moving his head to listen. His cheeks were pink, it was almost cute, attractive in another sense. Well...Narukami is good-looking; hot even, for a guy. He reasoned. I mean...he'd be a kinda mannish girl but he could totally pass for one-what the fuck am I even thinking about?! He held a hand to his face as he regarded his peer; he'd always thought of him as being fairly skinny, but his muscles were prominent now he was sitting so close. Swallowing, he took in his whole body, from his toes to his jawline. Moving closer, he inspected what he could see; his skin was fair, but had few blemishes. He assumed that it was probably soft too, he then moved to his face - largely obscured by the blindfold. A sigh parted his lips as it appeared he admitted defeat and might go for a nap instead. Lips...they look so soft. I wonder...if they're warm...Yuu must have felt Yosuke's presence and moved his head towards him; this caused Yosuke to kiss his cheek briefly, rather than his lips. Yosuke expected a retort of some kind - but his expression didn't change, he just leaned back into his original position.
He touched his own lips as he sat. Did I just kiss him? Did he just let me? I mean...I know what this is about, but...I have to...he moved again, kissing his cheek quickly. Just...once more...another tentative kiss, longer this time. Yuu lifted his hand and gently cupped Yosuke's face, bringing it in slowly; he felt his thumb softly caress his cheek. Inches away from his lips, he knew it had to be him that kissed Yuu and not the other way around. This was the first time he'd ever kissed anyone, let alone kissed a guy. His lips were soft, and pleasantly warm. They parted briefly before lip-locking once more, Yuu made a gentle noise before wrapping his arms around Yosuke. Yosuke's eyes snapped open as he felt Yuu's lips kiss the skin close to his ear. His peer's cheek brushed his own as he moved, he felt the flesh of his neck being nuzzled softly. Yuu's silver bangs tickled his face as he protested a little; he'd never felt anything like this before. It wasn't an unpleasant feeling - the soft sucking of the tender skin of his neck felt good. A small grunt of enjoyment escaped him as Yuu lifted his jaw high, kissing just below his earlobe.
"Senpai?" His eyes had been closed as he relished the attention he was being given, but they now opened; he had completely forgotten about Kanji. Yuu halted his ministrations, his head turned towards Kanji; his mouth opened, but no words came. Instead, he moved away from Yosuke and did the same to Kanji (Kanji however, struggled considerably before allowing Yuu to kiss him). A pang of intense jealousy overtook him; he didn't quite understand why it was so strong, but it was enough for him to pull Yuu towards him. He didn't stop kissing Kanji, but his body was no longer turned away from him. The need to kiss him felt unbearable. If it wasn't going to be his mouth, it was going to be elsewhere. This began by kissing his jawline; bestowing butterfly kissing down his neck to his collarbone and back up. He hungrily suckled the nape of his neck, moving his body so that it curved over him; his arm found an anchor to the right of Yuu's thigh while the other was keeping his collar at bay. Yosuke felt his body tense as Yuu's hand caressed his chest, tugging at his buttons. Yosuke obliged, removing himself momentarily to unbutton his school blazer and discard it, he hesitantly took off his t-shirt as well and moved back in. Kissing Yuu's face provoked more of a reaction from him this time; he felt Yuu trace his collarbone with his fingertips, they danced across his chest before resting as they met his navel. Kanji had since stopped kissing his mouth and was now concentrating on neck. Yuu gasped slightly and turned his face so that it touched Kanji's. Jealousy, Yosuke burned with it. He retaliated by doing the same, nuzzling his neck intensely as he moved his hands across his chest. His skin was damp to the touch, his body was tight and firm. He felt Yuu twitch beneath his fingertips as he touched an erect nipple; a sharp intake of breath served as a clear sign he was being pleasured. Pinching the nipple between his thumb and forefinger, he teased him as he dragged his tongue lazily across his neck to his Adam's apple.
His breathing was heavy now, a thin film of sweat covered his whole body - his school shirt clung to him desperately, making it translucent where it met skin. How do I even know...how to do this? I've never...his thoughts were interrupted as Yuu moved his head and kissed him forcibly on the lips, his tongue glided across his lower lip. Yosuke moved away for a moment, before drawing back in for another kiss; Yuu did the same, pleading for entrance. Yosuke opened his mouth and let Yuu inside. It was clumsy; they parted a few times and changed position before eventually getting into a gentle rolling rhythm. It discouraged him a little that Yuu had obviously done this before - or then again, perhaps he hadn't; the ailment made him become this 'other' person. Yosuke gasped as they parted for air momentarily before he felt Yuu's body turn towards him and away from Kanji. Their kiss was interrupted again though, as Yuu moaned in a pained way, his eyebrows knitting into a wonderfully vulnerable expression. He mewled softly and continued to kiss Yosuke passionately as he did. Yosuke then realised why he was moaning; Kanji was fondling him. Rather than jealousy, he felt relief - despite his latent attraction to Yuu, he still didn't like the idea of touching his manhood. Leaning back, he found that it was now Yuu who was dominating him - his arms had locked his own down as they kissed. It didn't bother him, it felt good. Far too good considering who was pleasuring him. The thought seemed to present itself every now and then in his mind, violently, like a slap to the face - then it would just fade away, drifting further and further with each roll of the tongue. The sofa was small, but comfortable; his head was being supported by one of the arms as Yuu shifted position above him.
He couldn't prevent the groan that escaped him as he felt Yuu's hand gently caress his inner thigh, very close to his groin. Clasping his free hand to his mouth, he felt his fingertips drag across his pants' zipper. D-Don't! He rolled his fingers gently, finding the form a little more easily now that Yosuke was beginning to get aroused. This is bad...I'm starting to get hard... Yosuke bit into his hand as an explosion of pleasure erupted from his nether; cascading like waterfall through his groin and legs. He stifled a yelp as Yuu unbuttoned his trousers and pulled down the zip slowly, teasingly - gaining access to his boxer briefs. His fingers probed gently, tracing the shaft of his member as it gradually became more rigid. Yosuke shifted his position, moving up so that his trousers would fall a little; allowing more of his growing erection to protrude. As he moved, Yuu also did, causing Yosuke's leg to make contact with his groin - it appeared that Kanji was no longer pleasuring him. It was supposed to be brief, but Yuu lingered - allowing Yosuke's knee to grind against his him. Even though it was through pants, he could feel the edges of his member, it's girth seemed to be more than his own - and it wasn't even fully erect yet. Hmph, well that's a dash to the self-esteem...he thought as he moved his body so that his leg was on the floor. Their hips touched now, their arms interlocked as they continued to pleasure each other. Yuu took the initiative and released Yosuke's arousal from his now taut underwear, he gasped as the chilly air made contact with his moist tip. The release felt good, and he couldn't help but moan audibly as Yuu ground hips against his own, causing their members to rub painfully against each other through the fabric. Yuu kissed him passionately as he rocked his hips slowly, their bodies gliding together. Yosuke's manhood ached, throbbed, pulsed as each movement sent reams of pleasure coursing through his tightening body. His heart thudded mightily in his chest as Yuu sucked on the patch of tender skin just below his ear.
"F-fuck..." Yosuke brought the hand that had been hovering by his mouth to his head and covered his eyes. There was no going back now. His eyebrows knitted as the waves of pleasure with each thrust intensified, making his body writhe under Yuu's touch. The muscles in his abdomen tightened as each caress sent him further and further into inescapable ecstasy. His swollen testes throbbed as he felt himself becoming unbearably full. Pressure was building, he could feel it and he couldn't stop it. After a moment or two he realised he'd squeezed his eyes shut so tightly that he could see sparking after images; his teeth had ground together so hard his jaw hurt. Swallowing harshly, he arched his body as he moaned agonisingly; the waves of orgasm cascading through his body caused him to shiver as he felt himself ejaculate. He felt the tip of his twitch as another wave caused more seed to spill from him. Moaning again as the ripples continued, he welcomed Yuu's mouth to his own. He could feel Yuu's muscles, his breathing, touching his shaft as it began to soften. That feeling returned - the one that seemed to bolt him back to reality, this time it lingered. He pushed himself up on the sofa, causing Yuu to sit up as well. He sat in between Yosuke's legs - the bulge in his pants was quite apparent now. His hand reached down and wiped some of Yosuke's seed from his own stomach. Yosuke was only slightly mortified. Considering what we've just done, that's not really that bad...his attention was divided though, and the haze descended once more as he regarded Kanji, sitting behind Yuu. He gulped. Yuu was oblivious to Kanji, as he still wore the blindfold - and Kanji obviously thought that no one could see him.
He was wrong.
Let me know what you think, honestly - the reviews make my day! I don't like to get down to the dirty too quickly, it's all about the build up! Toodles!
