Ch. 5 Needles in the Hay

Fuji stares into Ryoma's golden brown eyes for what seems like eternity. He is lost in those priceless eyes and his mind races to the ends of the earth. *Is this a dream or did he just say that?* His face flushes as Ryoma once more caresses his cheeks and whispers to him sweet words. Fuji holds Ryoma's face in his hands and slowly descends towards his lips.

"Be prepared, I've been holding back for a long time." Fuji kisses Ryoma; gently passing his tongue through Ryoma's parted lips. His tongue explores Ryoma's mouth, not leaving a corner untouched. Their tongues battle for dominance as the kiss turns more passionate. Ryoma puts his arms around Fuji's neck and hooks his legs around his waist as Fuji carries him to an empty stable. Closing the door behind him, he places Ryoma gently on the hay covered floor. They separate from their extremely long kiss and Ryoma looks at Fuji with passion dazed eyes.

Fuji smiles softly and touches his forehead to Ryoma's, "I love you Ryoma."

Ryoma's cheeks color bright red, "I…I love you too Fuji."

Fuji smiles brighten, "I am glad." Fuji gently and slowly kisses Ryoma's nose, cheek, and chin. He uses his lips to show his overflowing love. Fuji licks Ryoma's ear and nibbles on it, drawing a tiny gasp from Ryoma.

"Why are you being so…gentle and loving?"

Fuji laughs, "Because I am your first, aren't I?"

Ryoma looks away, blushing madly, "…no."

Fuji removes the obi from Ryoma's kimono and pushes down the top part, "I guess that's a yes, so that means I have to be gentle. I also want you to remember this night forever." Fuji kisses Ryoma's shoulder and moves downward towards his chest, leaving nothing untouched. He takes a nipple into his mouth while his index and thumb played with the other one. He sucks, teases, and lightly bites the bud, making it taut.

Ryoma closes his eyes, "hnn.."

Fuji fully opens the kimono and trails kisses downward towards Ryoma's pelvis. Fuji pulls down his underwear, causing Ryoma's breath to hitch. Fuji smiles, "…you are so erect after only fondling you."

Ryoma covers his face with his hands, "Shut up!"

Fuji laughs, "Feisty", then licks the head of Ryoma's member.

Ryoma gasps and arches his back, "W-what are you doing! Nghh, stop…"

Fuji uses his thumbs to play with the head of his length, earning cute moans from Ryoma. He glides his hand up and down, increasing his pace as Ryoma's moans grow louder. He uses is other hand to play with Ryoma's nipples causing Ryoma's to finally climax.

Ryoma looks at Fuji with tear eyes and bright cheeks, "I am sorry…."

Fuji smiles sadistically, "It is fine. I have use for it." He uses his cum cover middle finger and slowly inserts his finger into Ryoma's entrance.

Ryoma gasps, "Nghh…what are you doing! That hurts and feels strange!"

Fuji laughs, "You'll get used to it." He licks Ryoma's inner thigh and tenderly kisses it.

Ryoma winces, "N-now what are you doing?"

Fuji keeps moving his finger in and out, "Distracting you."

Ryoma whimpers when Fuji adds a second digit, "Ngh …ah, you are not doing a very good job."

Fuji kisses Ryoma passionately while adding a third digit and Ryoma moans into the kiss. Fuji continues to kiss him while his fingers did scissoring motions.

Fuji kisses Ryoma's forehead, "Does it hurt?"

Ryoma opens his eyes, "Yes."

Fuji takes out his fingers and caresses Ryoma's cheek, "I love you Ryoma."

Ryoma looks away, "I love you too…Shusuke."

Fuji smiles, "I love you."

Ryoma blushes, "Stop saying it so much."

Fuji laughs, "I love you till the end of time."

Ryoma covers his face, "Stop saying it! It's embarrassing."

Fuji kisses Ryoma again and whispers in his ear, "But it resonates in your mind doesn't it? It'll heighten this experience."

Ryoma watches Fuji pull down his pants, "That is not going to fit!"

Fuji smiles gently and slowly enters Ryoma stopping at each wince, "Are you okay?"

Ryoma grips the floor and nods, "Ahh…Continue, I'll endure."

Fuji fully enters Ryoma, barely holding back the urge to pull out and thrust in at full force. He takes Ryoma's hand, kisses it, and places it on his chest. "Do you feel my heart beat?"

Ryoma blushes, "Yes, I do."

"This is how much you make my heart race."

Ryoma huffs, "If you start moving will that shut you up?"

Fuji smiles, "Possibly."

"Then you can move."

Fuji slowly moves, thrusting into Ryoma at a rhythmic pace, which took all his sanity in order to maintain. Ryoma's whimpers turn to moans and the pain he was feeling before slowly disintegrates.

"Ngh…ahh..ahhh S-shusuke, you can move faster."

Fuji nods and his thrust accelerate, drawing more passionate moans from Ryoma. Fuji starts thrusting into him with more force, hitting Ryoma's prostrate with every thrust. Ryoma brings himself up and places his arms around Fuji's neck, kissing him until they both ran out of air.

"Ahhh..I-I am cuming Shusuke."

"…Ryoma"

At the heat of the moment and near their climax, their thrust and moans grow in intensity. They climax and both fall exhaustedly onto the hay covered floor. Fuji sighs happily and wraps his arms around the weakened Ryoma.

"Are you okay?"

Ryoma holds Fuji's hand, "My butt hurts, my ankle feels like it is going to fall off, and I have the feeling I am going to faint from exhaustion."

Fuji smiles, "If you have enough strength to complain that means it's nothing grave."

Ryoma sighs, "My servants are going to wonder why my kimono is stained."

Fuji chuckles, "I wish you good luck with explaining that, or not. You can just wear one of the many hundred kimonos you have and throw that one out."

Ryoma blushes, "…I want to keep it as a memory. Of course wash it…but not throw it away."

"That makes me happy because it means I didn't give you a totally horrible first experience."

Ryoma yawns, "Shusuke…"

"Hnn?"

Ryoma's grip on Fuji's hand strengthens, "I love you, unimaginable, limitlessly, with all my heart."

Fuji kisses Ryoma's hand while looking at him, "As do I."

Ryoma sighs, "…but we have to keep this a secret."

Fuji frowns, "I know, but I feel as if we are betraying…everyone by pretending."

Ryoma groans as he sits up and puts on his kimono, "It's only for now…my parents would not approve of us."

Fuji pulls up his pants and puts on his shirt, "You are right…but can you stop your jealousy from getting the better of you?"

Ryoma smirks, "What do you mean? I am sure you'll be the first one to explode. Plus, I am a great actor; it is a quality you gain from being a prince."

Fuji smiles sadistically, "We'll see about that, me and Rena have made a very close connection."

Ryoma runs his hand through his messy hair, "So did Mioko and I."

Fuji laughs, "So what do you want to bet on it?"

Ryoma arches his eyebrow, "What do you suggest?"

Fuji places his hands on Ryoma's waist, "Winner gets to control the other for one night. He can make the other do anything he desires."

Ryoma crosses his arms and limps out of the stable, "Fine, you are –

Fuji stares at Ryoma, "What is wrong? You suddenly st-

Kano stares blankly at their wrinkled and rustled state, "…a-a servant told me that I would find you here. Ryoma what happened to your ankle…and kimono. Why are you both so tattered?"

Ryoma blushed brightly, "It is not-

"Ryoma fell off his horse, into the mud and injured his ankle. I got quite dirty carrying him onto the horse."

Kano eyes Fuji suspiciously, "Oh…so that is what happened."
Fuji nods and smiles, "Yes"

Kano glares at Ryoma, "Is that what happened prince Ryoma?"

Ryoma looks at Kano and nods, "I am very tired and sore so I am going returning to my room."

"I'll call a few servants to help you prince Ryoma."

Ryoma shakes his head, "Not necessary."

"But you are limping…"

"Che', I don't need them Kano."

Kano sighs, "Fine…"

Fuji starts walking out of the stables, "So I'll take my leave."

Kano grunts, "Wait Fuji!"

Fuji takes the path back to the palace opposite of the one Ryoma was taking. He accelerates when he hears Kano yelling after him. *What does she want now! She must be suspicious…I have to be careful.*

Kano catches up to Fuji, "Didn't you hear me calling after you?"

Fuji smiled, "Oh you did? I am sorry, I didn't hear you."

Kano keeps up with Fuji's pace, "Really?"

Fuji nods, "Yes, really."

Kano walks through the palace door, "So..."

Fuji walks in after Kano, "Do you have any tasks you need to attend to?"

Kano laughs, "You are not getting rid of me yet."

Fuji sighs and walks up the stairs, "Maa, are you going to follow me to my room?"

Kano smiles evilly, "Yes, and I have the keys to all the rooms so don't even try to lock me out."

Fuji opens his bedroom door and allows Kano in, "What do you want?"

Kano sits on his bed, "What really occurred at the stable?"

Fuji closes the door, "What I told you, he fell, injured his ankle, I wrapped it, and that's the end of the story."

Kano crosses her arms and smirks, "Really? Even though you called him Ryoma without honorifics?"

Fuji smiles, "Yes"

"I know you are lying, Fuji. Even though I've had the toughest time with you, I can still read past your angelic façade."

Fuji drops his act, "Fine….what do you want, why, and are you going to tell anyone?"

Kano laughs, "The truth, because I care about prince Ryoma, and no, I won't tell a soul."

Fuji nods, "Okay, I'll tell you from the beginning."

Kano smiles proudly, "I am listening.

Fuji sits down next to Kano, "Ryoma and I had a horrible first impression; I basically thought he was a spoiled brat and he thought of me as useless. We became closer he learned that I know how to make ikebana and am not a ruthless soldier, and I learned he is actually caring and gentle. We…began to fall in love with each other, and as much as we tried to deny it…it was too obvious.

Kano stares at Fuji with wide eyes and mouth open, "WHAT!?"

Fuji runs his hands through his hair, "Yes…"

Kano rocks back and forward squealing, "That is so romantic! I am so happy for prince Ryoma!"

Fuji stares at her, "You actually approve?"

Kano nods happily, "Yes! I don't care if it is a woman or a man, love is love. Ryoma should just be happy and enjoy his youth."

Fuji laughs miserably, "If only his parents would think the same…"

Kano frowns slightly, "Well, that can be fixed slowly. If you both tell them and explain, they'll get used to the idea."

Fuji shakes his head, "We are hiding it, and it is not like we are getting married, so there is no rush."

Kano sighs, "I suppose you are right."

Fuji nods, "Hnn"

Kano jumps up, "WAIT! Then what happened in the stables?"

Fuji blushes lightly, "…we made love."

The queen stands on the other side of the door with her hand mid air of knocking. Her mouth is open and her cheeks are slightly tinted red *They made love?!*
