3. Awakening
Yusei opened his eyes, his head throbbing. His first thought was that he really had way too much to drink, but that was understandable. He really didn't want to see Jack—
Oh, God.
Jack.
Jack was wrapped around him. There were two large hands on his pecs right now and … and … Jack's body—his magnificent, naked body—was spooning his own—equally naked—body.
Oh God.
Oh godohgodohgodohgod—
He felt an intense blush start at his cheeks and sweep down his entire body. He felt so hot he was surprised it didn't wake Jack up.
Oh God.
And … oh God … he grimaced. I'm … I'm sticky, too. Wincing, he carefully slid out of both Jack's embrace and the bed. There was no getting around it. He absolutely had to do it.
He had to check.
And even if he didn't want to, a shower was essential.
Were his clothes even here? Was this his room, or Jack's? He wasn't sure which was the better scenario.
As it turned out, it was his room. He grabbed some fresh clothing as quietly as he could and slipped into the bathroom.
At last, privacy, a nice, warm shower, and …
There was no mistaking it. There had been penetration the previous evening … homosexual intercourse … and all evidence pointed to Jack.
Oh God.
I had sex with Jack and I can't even remember it?!
This was too horrible to think about … or …
… too … something …
What would Jack think?
How did this happen? Jack didn't just … make passes at guys, he'd know about it … wouldn't he?
Oh god, did I throw myself at him? Was he too drunk to resist my advances? Oh god! If this is going to be our only time, why can't I remember!
And … what about Carly?!
How could he look Jack in the eye after this?
He dreaded going back into the other room.
Jack found himself lying on a beach, dreamily looking out over the ocean, listening to the pounding surf as the waves crashed in. He was considering getting up and riding the waves, but he was thinking about the deep blue that the ocean was today … it reminded him of something, but he couldn't quite remember what.
He had ridden the waves earlier in the dream and it had been beautiful, so satisfying … He couldn't quite remember the details of the experience, but he had an impression of plunging repeatedly into the deep sparkling blue of the ocean, riding wave after wave, the wonderful sensation running over and through him …
But now, the pounding of the waves was getting more and more insistent, eventually turning into a steady flow … Oh.
Jack opened his eyes. The sound was a shower, and this was …
Not his room. Why wasn't this his room?
And why …?
Why the fuck was he naked?
And what was this on …
Ugh.
He ran his hand over his stomach where there was some unseemly mess and …
Oh God.
Is this even mine?
Oh God!
I don't want to know!
Oh godohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod …
Shit! This isn't my room! I'm a mess! Whoever that is could—
Who the hell is that?!
Jack froze in panic.
Oh God!
It better the hell not be Crow!
He could barely breathe, thinking over his companions. He really didn't like the idea of it being Kiryu. It was better than Crow, but still. Kaz … the guy was so friendly toward him and always seemed so deferential, he wouldn't be surprised, and he reminded Jack of Yusei a little in looks, so …
Jack shoved the thought from his mind.
Yusei?
Nah, Yusei would never …
He didn't …
Jack wiped his stomach with the sheet and peeked over the edge of the bed.
Oh God.
Those were Yusei's boots. It was unmistakable. Did anyone see us? Had he ruined Yusei's reputation?
Oh God.
What did Crow say?
"You always take what you want without thinking about anything or anyone else, don't you?"
Wait a minute! What if … what if I … forced him? I was drunk. I don't remember it clearly. What am I thinking, I don't remember it at all! Hell, I didn't even remember it was Yusei. How could I forget something like that?! But … I'm stronger than he is, and he was drunk … And Yusei is … I always had a kind of feeling for … He'd probably … What if … what if …
What if I raped him?!
Jack's mind turned over to sheer terror in an instant, considering the possibility.
Oh God!
Shitshitshitshitshitshit!
Shit.
What am I gonna do? He's my best friend! How can I face him?!
What do I say?
As he pulled on his pants, he heard the shower turn off.
Oh God.
I can't look him in the eye now!
Not bothering with his shirt, he threw on his coat and grabbed his stuff, then headed out the door.
He'd think about what to say to Yusei later. All he could think now was …
Oh.
God.
Author's notes ...
Before commenting, I want to thank everyone as usual for their kind reviews and encouragement, especially my faithful reviewers KizunaTsudoishi and MrMyshka. I really hope you like this chapter, short as it is!
This is where the rating comes in. Even though I'm not describing the "action," there are enough details that I thought the rating was warranted.
The worst thing about posting this chapter is that I can't imagine topping it. It's all downhill from here, guys ...
Hope I didn't go too far over the top. ;) But I did say it was farce, no?
Anyway, I wanted to get this chapter out to wrap up the holiday season. Happy New Year, everyone! I hope that it will be a great year for all of you! I'm looking forward to it.
