A/N: Sorry for the severe lateness. Work and college are kicking my ass! It is my last few days at this job though. I'm looking forward to that. It is kinda funny how the ends of my 2 stories are coming at the end of a four year headache of a job. Once again, thank you so much to everyone who has supported this story. I appreciate every review I get and even just the favoriting of my story. Every review and favorite I get makes my day. ^_^ This is the last chapter, hence the length. There will be an epilogue though. Please enjoy and as always leave me some feedback.
Warning: Lemon and some very minor kink, because I think you guys would kill me if I didn't write this one. *laughs*
Chapter Twelve
It was the last day of their stay in California. Umeda was actually sad about it. He had really enjoyed his time here. He felt it had truly proved the permanence of his relationship with Shizuki. Sure, they had a healthy sex life and a good relationship. Yet, here in Shizuki's home town, he had really learned a lot about the man he'd fallen in love with. He felt closer to the blond now. He would also kinda miss the family mornings here. Even if he wasn't a morning person, he had grown somewhat fond of being at the table in the morning to greet people. He was thinking all this while enjoying his morning coffee and reading over the section of the newspaper Mr. Ashiya had finished.
"Ah!" Mr. Ashiya suddenly jumped up and waved a section of the newspaper. "Eiko! My veterinary clinic won the best animal hospital award in Berkeley! I can't believe it!"
"Congratulations honey!" Mrs. Ashiya grinned. "Let me see." She took the paper and read over the awards section for the summer contest. "This is wonderful!"
Umeda smiled slightly as the paper got passed around for everyone to look out while more congratulations were extended. This was the kind of family he wouldn't mind living near. He loved his family, but they were nuts. He didn't want to spend extended periods of time around them. Although, he had learned a lot about his little sister on this trip. He felt like he understood her better. She wasn't a little girl anymore. She was turning into a woman. He had realized it before, but there had never been the boy factor involved until now. She would be going to college soon. She might be married in a few years. This trip had made him realize that he needed to step back to let her finish growing up. He had protected her long enough. That didn't mean he was gonna quit by any means, just step back a ways.
He blinked when a different section of the newspaper was pressed into his hand.
"Look," Shizuki grinned, pointing out the big announcement of the winners for the summer business contest in Berkeley.
Umeda read over the part where the Ashiya Animal Clinic had been awarded best veterinary clinic. "This is pretty prestigious, huh? Congratulations. This will get you a lot of recognition. You might find yourself overwhelmed with more customers. " Umeda smiled as he handed the paper back to Mr. Ashiya. The two were still slightly awkward with each other. He was really hoping that'd change while he was here.
"Thank you, Umeda. However, many customers come I will look after them all with care," Mr. Ashiya replied with a confident smile.
"We'll have to have a little party in celebration!" Mrs. Ashiya exclaimed.
"She just doesn't want to call it a going away party for us," Shizuki murmured to his boyfriend.
"I'll invite Gilbert," Mizuki volunteered.
"I'll call Lisa and tell her! She is my assistant after all! She has to be here!" Mr. Ashiya said excitedly, making a b-line for the phone. He bumped the table hard in his hurry to get up. Umeda was just in time to steady his cup before the coffee was spilled. Some of the other cups were not quite so fortunate. Mr. Ashiya chuckled in embarrassment. "Sorry, sorry."
"It's alright, dear. Make your phone call," Mrs. Ashiya waved him away.
Shizuki had already invited his friends over for dinner the last night of his visit home. He didn't want to leave without one more chance to hang out with all of them. With Lisa and Gilbert it would make the little get together perfect.
"Oh, and Julia your parents are coming to pick you up tonight right? We'll invite them to stay for dinner," Mrs. Ashiya smiled.
"They better stay for dinner. I'm not leaving without saying good bye to Gilbert and everyone else," Julia muttered to Rio, who giggled.
"I need to start figuring out what to make for dinner!" Mrs. Ashiya gasped, hurrying into the kitchen.
Shizuki laughed at his mother's behavior. She was always earnest about everything she did. "Looks like it will be a good evening. I guess what better pack this afternoon before it gets to busy."
Umeda finished up the last of his coffee. "I suppose that means we better start doing laundry."
"And gathering up our stuff that seems to have spread throughout the house." Shizuki remarked.
"Stop talking about packing! I don't want to go home yet," Rio grumbled.
"You can come back to visit again soon, Rio," Mizuki reassured her. "You're always welcome here."
Rio smiled. "Thanks, Mizuki."
There was something in the way she answered that made Umeda look up and narrow his eyes at his sister. She smiled back at him innocently. Oh, she was definitely up to something. She was scheming in that wicked little brain of hers. He could practically smell the smoke. Soon as he got back home he would dump her back on his parents. She would be there problem again, not his. That gave him a little bit of relief.
"C'mon," Shizuki grabbed his arm. "We've got a lot of stuff to do before dinner tonight."
Umeda followed his boyfriend, only glancing over his shoulder once to glare at his sister, who innocently avoided his look.
/
Dinner was wonderful. The entire table was packed with people. Even pulling out the two extra leafs for the table did not add quite enough room. People were still bumping elbows, but no one minded. The food was great. Shizuki's mother had out done herself once again. Everyone looked happy. Mizuki and Sano were practically glued at the hip. Rio and Gilbert sat almost as close together. Julia sat between the two couples, chatting with all of them. Houston, Sarah, Crystal, Chris, and Lisa were all grouped in the center of the table. Umeda and Shizuki were- of course -sitting in their pack. Shizuki's parents sat at the end with Julia's parents.
To Shizuki, it was all perfect. He was surrounded by friends and family for the last day of his time at home. It had been a great trip. It'd had a few rocky spots, but thanks to Umeda even those hadn't been to bad. Overall, he was definitely glad he'd come home. He had been a little nervous about it. He didn't know how his dad would react to Umeda. That had been his biggest worry. His dad seemed to have come to terms with his relationship with the doctor. He seemed to have started to like Umeda. That made him happy more than anything. The two still yet to talk alone though. Shizuki planned to remedy that before the evening was over. He wanted them to truly reach an understanding. To do so, they needed to talk to each other alone.
Shizuki glanced over at Umeda who was having a debate about education with Sarah and Chris. He smiled as he watched Umeda speak forcefully about his views on the high school education. He really did love this man. Umeda had been prickly and sarcastic when they'd first met. He had changed a lot since then, and especially since the two had started dating. Umeda had mellowed out, become friendlier, and he was happy now. Shizuki thought it was all a change for the better. He'd changed a lot himself too.
"So we were thinking about going to the bar after this. Are you two coming?" Houston interrupted his thoughts.
"Nah, I've got plans for the rest of the evening." Shizuki grinned.
Houston smirked. "Oh really?"
"Yes, really," the blond slanted his head towards his boyfriend.
"Well, enjoy yourselves," Houston grinned in return.
"Thanks, we will," Shizuki replied a bit lewdly.
Houston laughed. "Don't get to crazy. You do have to sit on a plane for an unGodly amount of time tomorrow."
The blond rolled his eyes a little, looking away to cover up his blush.
Dinner was over much to fast it seemed. Soon they were all moving out to the back porch and patio. The groups outside didn't change any. The teens took the picnic table. Shizuki's pack was arrayed across the stairs and porch railings. The parents took the porch swing and chairs. Coffee and dessert were brought out. A soft hum of conversation spread between them all.
"Don't eat dessert," Shizuki whispered into Umeda's ear.
The doctor blinked. "Why?"
"I've got special plans for later."
Umeda smirked. "Oh?"
Shizuki bumped his shoulder affectionately, but said no more on the subject.
Time passed by much to fast. The sun began to dip behind the trees. Good byes soon began to go around. Julia gave Mizuki, Sano, and Gilbert hugs. She reserved an extra big hug for Rio. They didn't know when they'd see each other again. There were a few sniffles and moist eyes between the girls. Julia was more than reluctant to go. She'd had so much fun the last two weeks. Soon she and her parents departed, leaving the group three people smaller. Shizuki's friends began to go too. There were lots of hugs, kisses, and promises to come back to visit again soon. Umeda and Houston engaged in a brief, intent conversation that Shizuki couldn't hear. The two exchanged handshakes and conspiratory smiles afterwards. Shizuki gave them both warning glares which they ignored. Sarah warned him not to mess up what he had and to be happy. Crystal wished them all the best. Chris simply shook hands with a simple good bye. Houston swept Shizuki up into a back breaking hug. He planted a kiss on the blond's lips before Shizuki could stumble away. The blond stared at him in utter shock. Houston laughed and said he it was the only chance he'd ever get for a kiss. He told Shizuki to have lots of great sex and wished him farewell. Shizuki stammered a promise to do so as he flushed bright red. Lisa gave him a big hug and kiss as well as a simple good bye too. Soon the good byes were over and they were all gone. Umeda and Shizuki went to sit back on the porch with his parents.
They watched as Rio and Gilbert wandered across the big backyard to go for walk in the woods. Mizuki and Sano disappeared into the house, probably to the living room. They were smart enough not go near Mizuki's bedroom with the parents still there. They all sat in silence as the sunset deepened a little further. After a moment, Shizuki stood up and touched his mother's arm.
"Would you like some help with the dishes, Mom?" Shizuki offered with a smile. He flicked his eyes towards his father. Her gaze immediately sharpened in understanding.
She smiled. "Of course, honey." She stood up. Mr. Ashiya started to get up too. "You stay here, Dear, and enjoy the nice weather. Shizuki's enough help."
The blond gave his mother a grateful smile. Thank God, she'd known what he'd been trying to do. He gestured at Umeda to stay too. The doctor glanced over at Mr. Ashiya then back at Shizuki with an uncertain expression. The blond smiled reassuringly before disappearing into the kitchen with his mother.
For the first time since Umeda came to visit he found himself alone with Mr. Ashiya. They sat in silence for several minutes. They both eyed each other warily from across the space of the back porch.
"You can ask me if you want," Umeda finally broke the silence.
"Ask you what?"
"Whatever it is you keep mulling over."
Mr. Ashiya looked at him in surprise.
"I work with teenagers all day long. I've gotten very good at reading faces."
"What are your intentions for my son?"
Umeda sat back. "Anything I say from here on out is total honesty. Ok?"
"Ok."
"I want to live with him the rest of my life. I want to wake up to his face every morning. I want to make love to him every night. And I will fight to make sure that happens."
Mr. Ashiya's eyebrows shot up. "You're very blunt."
"Yes. What do you think of what I said?"
"I think you're serious. I appreciate that. I think I'm ok with it."
Umeda felt the tension leave his shoulders. "Thank God."
Mr. Ashiya smiled. "I'm not usually this worrisome and tense. I've just been very concerned about Shizuki. And I guess concerned about you too."
"Because you don't know me?"
"Yes."
"Ask me anything you want."
"Were you ever in a relationship before Shizuki?"
Umeda smiled sadly. "No. I was in love with the same guy for 12 years, but he pretended like he didn't know. All I ever got from him was a rocky friendship at best. In fact, I'd given up on that guy about the same time Shizuki interned in Japan."
"And you just immediately went after my son?"
"You make me sound like a predator. And no, I didn't. I tried to stay away from him. I could tell there was some strong attraction between us and that scared me. I'd just gotten my heart torn to pieces by one straight guy. The last thing I needed was to get involved with another one."
"Shizuki told me he didn't want to love you when he was home. He was scared too."
"We were terrified. We didn't want admit it to ourselves, let alone each other, that we'd fallen in love. It was such a mess," Umeda was talking mostly to himself as he remembered.
Mr. Ashiya nodded understandingly. "I know the feeling very well. When my first wife died I thought I'd never be able to love again. I'd love her so much. I mourned her for years. I didn't think I could ever get over her. But then I met Eiko. And it was like the sun started shining again. I was terrified, because I was afraid to betray the memory of my first wife. But I loved Eiko and I wanted to be with her. Eventually I realized my wife would have wanted me to be happy, not wallow in misery. I moved on. I married Eiko. I've been happy every day I wake up to her."
Umeda swallowed hard. "I want that. I never thought I'd get it."
"You're not a bad guy, Umeda. I think it'd be ok if Shizuki lived with you. Just promise me you'll make him happy."
"I promise." Umeda answered sincerely. It was the most sincere he'd ever been with anyone besides Shizuki in a long time.

Gilbert stopped at a little clearing not to far into the woods. He sat down on a big stump of a log and gently tugged Rio down. She sat down beside him with a little smile. He was glad she wasn't so shy around him anymore. He enjoyed her open side a lot. They chatted about silly things for a little while until Gilbert finally broached the subject he wanted to talk about. He was a little nervous about what he wanted—which was a kiss. It was silly to be so anxious about something he had done so many times before, but this felt almost like treading on sacred ground.
"So are you ever gonna come visit again?" Gilbert asked, trying to sound casually.
Rio smiled. She never felt shy when he was nervous. It seemed to make her more at ease. It was a little funny really. "Would you like me too?"
"Yeah, I would," Gilbert answered honestly.
"I thought you liked Mizuki." She remarked off handedly.
Gilbert sighed a little sadly. "I did, but I'm smart enough to realize she's not gonna fall for me. I think that Sano guy will take good care of her."
They were silent for a few moments, listening to the crickets chirp.
"I'd like to come back here. It's very pretty. I really liked Berkeley College too. I was thinking maybe I'd like to go to school there," She said.
"Really?" He looked so hopeful that she couldn't help the little giggle that slipped out.
"Yes. I really think so. I might have some trouble talking my parents into it though. I think that Nii-san will help me with that," she replied.
There was another little pause.
"Is there anything else here you like?" He asked nonchalantly. A hint of nervousness bled through though.
She smirked at his obvious question. She had thought she'd be anxious when she finally got a chance to say this. She wasn't. "Yes. I like you."
Gilbert smiled, eyes bright with happiness. They seemed to glow catlike in the moonlight. "Good. I like you too." He leaned towards her. "May I kiss you?"
She blushed and clasped her hands nervously. Finally, her first kiss. She was so glad she had waited for the right guy to experience it with. "Yes."
He closed the rest of the space between them and pressed his lips to hers gently. It was chaste at first. When he reached up to grasp her shoulders she couldn't hold back a shiver of delight. A moment later, he slanted his mouth to deepen the kiss. She sighed into his mouth and kissed back as best as she could. It felt good—no great! It was better than she'd imagined. It was, intimate, and intense. She felt awareness prick along her skin like she'd never felt before. She suddenly knew what it was like to truly want another person. It was thrilling and frightening all at once. Gilbert drew back slowly as if sensing her conflicting emotions.
"You alright?" He asked gently.
"Yes," she whispered breathlessly. She was so much better than alright. She looked into his eyes and smiled softly. "That was my first kiss."
Gilbert blinked. "Oh?...Oh!" He suddenly looked flustered. "Eer…I…"
"I liked it. It was good," she told him sincerely.
He actually flushed a little. "Ummm…good. I'm glad." He felt a like a foolish high school kid again. He was to old to be acting like a nervous teenager. He was 2o for God's sake. Yet, this girl really pulled him out of his element. She was so cute. He couldn't believe he'd been her first kiss. He'd never been any girl's first anything. He was both humbled and even more interested now. A girl like her had to have tons of guys drooling over her. She'd never been with anyone?
He must have said that last part out loud because she started to laugh. "I do and no I haven't," she said. "But I have high standards. I was raised around beautiful men…with weird personalities. I wanted a normal guy who actually remembered my name before trying to hit on me. He had to be handsome too."
"Oh," he said, surprised. "Well, I thought you were cute from the start, but I like to get to know a person before I try to ask them out or anything."
Rio looked down at her hands before asking. "Could you, maybe, kiss me again?"
"Yes," he whispered, leaning down. "As many times as you want."

When the dishes were clean and Umeda and Mr. Ashiya had come inside, Shizuki deemed it safe to care out his plan for the rest of the evening. He grabbed an old fleece blanket, a lunchbox, and walked out the door. Umeda followed him out of curiosity. Dinner was over so what was the lunch box for? The blond walked to his car and deposited the items into the back seat. He then climbed into the driver's side before turning on the engine. Umeda got the hint. Soon as he was in with the door closed, Shizuki was pulling the car out of the driveway.
Umeda soon recognized some of the landmarks passing by outside the window. He smiled, knowing exactly where his boyfriend was headed. The woods soon surrounded them. Soon Shizuki was pulling off the road onto the dirt track. He got out, fished out the red cloth, and fixed it to the nearest tree. Within moments, they were parked by the big pond. Both got out of the car. Shizuki retrieved the blanket and lunchbox before marching off around the pond. He stopped on a knoll that sat higher than the rest of the shore line. He set down the lunchbox, shook out the blanket, and spread it on the ground. He gestured for Umeda to sit. The doctor sank to the ground on the blanket. The blond plopped down beside him. He reached into the cooler and took out a beer. He handed it over to Umeda with a grin.
Umeda took it and couldn't help, but smile back. He popped open the can then took a swig, tilting back his head. He caught a glimpse of the darkening sky. He lowered his can and stared up. Above him a break in the trees was showing off a gorgeous display of dying sunset colors. The moon was already peeking over the trees. Birds cooed to their lovers and crickets sang their songs loudly. The trees rustled in the faint breeze. It was peaceful.
"Mr. Romantic," Umeda chuckled. "No wine?"
"I figured we were men so we drink beer. Wine would make it seem like I'm trying to schmooze you," Shizuki chuckled.
"And you're not?"
"Nope," Shizuki replied, taking a gulp of beer. His hands were shaking a little.
"You're up to something though," Umeda remarked shrewdly.
"Never miss a thing, do you?" The blond leaned over and gave his lover a slow kiss.
Umeda smirked. "No. What are you scheming?"
Shizuki sighed softly. "Let's just sit here and enjoy ourselves a little first, please? It's our last night here and I want to spend it in my favorite place with you. Ok?"
"Ok." Umeda agreed, drinking more beer.
Shizuki dug out the dessert his mother had made for after dinner; a strawberry and vanilla pudding cake. It was the blond's favorite dessert. To him, it was equivalent with all things good during the summer. He handed a plate of it to Umeda. The two ate in silence, watching the sky darken to night overhead. A frog croaked nearby before diving into the pond below. Shizuki found it calming. Some of his nervousness about what he intended to do faded away.
"Thank you," Umeda broke the silence.
"Why?" Shizuki asked in confusion.
"For bringing me home with you to meet your family and friends. I had a good time." Umeda replied, setting his plate aside. "To be honest, I wasn't really expecting to."
"I'm happy it turned out better than you thought then. It means a lot to me that you came. I'm glad you and my dad finally got to talk too." Shizuki reached over to squeeze his hand.
"Yeah, me too. Guess I have permission to have you any way I want to," Umeda grinned.
Shizuki chuckled a little. "Yeah, about that last part…" He grabbed Umeda's shirt to tug him closer. He pressed another kiss to the doctor's lips.
"What about it?" Umeda asked, feeling his heart speed up with excitement.
"You can have me….any way you want to," Shizuki said slowly. He was nervous. He'd been avoiding this for so long. Houston had been right about doing this though. This relationship had to be more than just him taking for it to be equal. He wanted this thing between them to continue for a very long time. That meant giving his all to this man. It was only fair since Umeda had already done the same for him without asking more in return. Shizuki had been selfish so far. He didn't want to be anymore.
Umeda swallowed hard at the scared, earnest expression on his lover's face. His heart had skipped into triple time. Those words had been enough to fully arouse him in less than 10 seconds. Still something stalled him from tackling the blond and finally getting what he'd desired for months now. "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes. I've given it a lot of thought. I want to do this." Shizuki responded without hesitation.
"But you looked freaked." Umeda had to clench his fists to keep himself from stripping the blond naked.
"Well, I am a little. I've never attempted this before and the idea kinda scares me. I wanna do it though," Shizuki said, sounding more determined and confident than he really felt.
Umeda regarded him for another long moment before making up his mind. "Alright, we'll take it slow."
"I know you won't hurt me," Shizuki smiled gently.
There was a lot of trust in that statement. It made Umeda get that warm, happy feeling he got whenever Shizuki said 'I love you.' He knew it was ok to do this then. He pushed the blond gently onto his back before leaning over him. He wasn't surprised when Shizuki went tense all over. Despite his words and conviction, he was still scared. It was like the first time all over again. Umeda would have to be patient and take it slow for the blond's sake. He started with just soft, searching kisses. He was in no hurry. The kisses quickly turned into a heated make out session. Umeda's hands slid through hair, lips tasted damp sweat salty skin down his jaw, throat and chest, and clothes just seemed to disappear. The air was charged between them with lust, love, and the heady rush of need. It wasn't long before they were both lying naked together with Umeda lying on top. That in itself was very different. It was very rare that Umeda ever got to keep this position for long. That would change tonight.
Umeda's hand strayed over an arching, straining erection before grasping it firmly. He gave Shizuki's cock a few firm strokes before scooting down to take it in his mouth. The blond gasped sharply, trying his best not to surge his hips upwards into the doctor's mouth. Shizuki moaned in the back of his throat. Umeda was just to damn good at this. It was like he'd made an art out of sucking cock. Shizuki bit his lip as he tried to check the urge to just let the doctor make him come from his mouth alone. He was about to tell Umeda to stop before he lost it, but the sudden nudge of a finger against his back side sent him instinctively scrambling to get away. He cringed when Umeda sat back on his heels to look at him in concern.
"I'm fine. Really. It just startled me," Shizuki tried to reassure the doctor, who didn't look convinced.
"You are going to have to relax. We aren't gonna get anywhere if you don't settle down a little bit," Umeda remarked factually. He wasn't trying to be blunt or mean; he was just horny. He was trying to make himself calm down a little.
Shizuki nodded and licked his lips. "I know. Maybe it's knowing that it might be coming that's freaking me out."
"Would it help if I blindfolded you?" Umeda teased.
"It might actually," Shizuki answered, after a brief pause.
Umeda stared at him in shock. "Are you serious?"
"If I can't see what you're doing then I won't tense up as much…," Shizuki replied. "At least in theory."
"Ok," Umeda shrugged. He looked around for something suitable to use. He settled for his button down shirt. While he leaned over to grab, Shizuki reached inside the lunchbox to pull out a bottle of lube. Umeda laughed when the blond set it on the blanket beside them. "That's an interesting item to stash in a lunchbox."
"Well, where else was I supposed to put it?" Shizuki blushed a little.
Umeda laughed. "Good point. Ok, turn around."
Shizuki licked his lips nervously again and sat up to turn over. He was still turned on, but the anxious feeling in his stomach was like a nagging woman in an old man's ear. He slowly turned around. He smiled when the doctor kissed the back of his neck. He heard the rustle of cloth before it suddenly blotted out his vision. He'd been blindfolded during sex before and oddly enough he'd learned then that he relaxed better when he couldn't see. Umeda quickly tied the cloth securely around the blond's head before scooting back.
"Hokuto?"
"Relax. I'm still here. I'm just admiring the view." The doctor's grin could be heard in his words.
Shizuki shook his head. He sucked in a harsh breath when Umeda reached around to run one finger slowly up the underside of his dick. He growled when the doctor chuckled at his reaction. He shivered when strong hands palmed his hips and rubbed soothing circles in the skin. Those hands slide up his hips in a line to just under his ribs. Shizuki's muscles quivered as pleasure zinged down his nerves to settle oddly enough in his ass. It was like his tail bone was the tuning fork for all the pleasure he was feeling this time, not his cock. It was a little disconcerting. He moaned as those hands traveled the same path downwards.
"God, you're beautiful," Umeda's breath washed over the blond's neck. "I've hardly done anything and your cock's already leaking."
Shizuki swallowed hard, trying to ignore the twinge of embarrassment he felt at those dirty words. He tipped his head to the side. "Kiss me."
The doctor couldn't deny a request like that. He leaned forward to capture the blond's lips in an intense, wild kiss that had both of them moaning in seconds. Shizuki felt like not being able to see was maximizing the sensation of everything tenfold. Even the doctor's lips felt warmer and softer than usual. Umeda's hands slipped around to squeeze the cheeks of Shizuki's ass. God, he couldn't wait to bury himself inside this man. He couldn't believe he was going to be the first and only man that would ever have Shizuki this way. He nipped the blond's lips before soothing the sting away with his tongue. His cock twitched hard as he continued to knead Shizuki's ass. He pulled back abruptly, unable to stand the teasing any longer. He pushed Shizuki down on to his hands and knees almost forgetting to help him, because he couldn't see. He was so aroused that his brain felt like it was lost in a hazy of lust.
"Oh fuck," He breathed, seeing the blond bent over like that.
Shizuki instinctively turned his head towards the sound of his lover's voice. "Umeda?" He sounded a little scared again.
"It's ok. I'll go slowly. I'll be gentle. I promise," Umeda whispered almost reverently as he palmed that beautiful ass again.
He forced himself to reach higher to caress up and down the length of Shizuki's back to help calm them both. He leaned over to press a trail of kisses from the blond's neck, down his spin, and to the crest of his butt. When he felt the blond start to tense he started back up at the top. He didn't want Shizuki to anticipate anything he was going to do. The idea was to keep Shizuki from tensing up or freaking out at the most important moment. He waited patiently until Shizuki's body relaxed beneath his kisses.
He reached down to spread Shizuki's ass cheeks, sliding his fingers down his crack and over the twitching hole that laid within. Beneath him, Shizuki's fingers dug into the blanket as he made a little noise of unease. Umeda could tell he was visibly holding himself back from jerking away again. Umeda continued to massage his fingers through the same area until gradually Shizuki's hands lost their death grip on the blanket. Umeda waited a moment longer before bending down to swipe his tongue across that puckered hole.
"Ah! What the hell!" Shizuki gasped, struggling to get away.
Umeda couldn't help but laugh. He remembered reacting the same way the first time someone had done the same to him. "Calm down. It felt good, didn't it?"
Shizuki made a mortified sound.
"I'll take that as yes," Umeda said with a grin before doing it again. Shizuki wriggled in his grasp, but Umeda refused to let get away. He swirled his tongue around the hole, smirking when Shizuki whimpered in humiliation. He glanced up to see the blond's face stained an enchanting shade of red before nipping Shizuki's ass teasingly.
"Hey!"
Umeda chuckled then tasted the blond once more. This time he pushed his tongue inside. Shizuki squeaked in shock. The doctor made a soothing sound in the back of his throat. He pushed his tongue in deeper, swirling it around. Shizuki made another shuddery whimper and began to struggle again. Umeda drew back quickly. He kissed one ass cheek before massaging both.
"You ok?" he asked.
Shizuki took several long deep breaths beneath him before answering, "Yes."
"Felt good?"
There was a brief moment of silence as Shizuki struggled to get the words past the swell of embarrassment in his throat. "Yes."
Umeda smiled. "Good. That's just the beginning. Next, I'll do this." He stuck his finger in his mouth, wetting it thoroughly, before tickling the opening of Shizuki's ass. Another cute disconcerted noise slipped past the blond's lips. He barely finished making it when felt Umeda press that finger inside of him. He went rigid for a moment. His finger is in my ass, Shizuki thought in utter shock. It was a weird sensation. He tried to classify the feeling, but there was nothing to compare it to in order to try. It was to different from anything else he knew related to sex.
The doctor was glad the blond wasn't freaking out like he'd been afraid would happen. He popped open the bottle of lube and dripped some over Shizuki's hole as well as his fingers. He let the blond relax around him before beginning to gently rock his finger in and out. He let the blond adjust to how that felt for a few moments before pressing in a second finger. He leaned over to kiss up the blond's spin and nip at the nap of his neck. Shizuki swallowed hard and groaned as those fingers scissored him slowly. It all just felt so weird to him. It stung a little, but it wasn't very painful. It was more of just being hyper aware of an area on his body he usually gave very little regard too. Shizuki concentrated on the feel of Umeda's weight, warmth, and skin against his back to help keep himself grounded. He almost got used to the fingers being inside him as he let the doctor's lips sooth his skin. His eyes popped wide under the temporary blind fold as another finger was inserted inside him. This time it stung a lot more. He groaned in discomfort, wriggling away from the sensation, but Umeda's hand held him in place. He shuddered as those fingers rubbed at his insides, stretching and scissoring wider still.
Umeda pulled his fingers out Shizuki's ass. He reached for the pile of their clothes. He grabbed them and wadded them before tucking them under Shizuki's chest as a cushion. "Lay on that. I don't want you trying to hold yourself up. Your arms will get strained."
Shizuki swallowed hard as he let his chest drop to the ground as he tried to arrange his arms into a more comfortable position. Umeda telling him this could only mean one thing. Penetration was next. He felt his stomach quiver a little in fear. He blinked a little in surprise when Umeda went back to kissing his ass. Maybe he'd been wrong. Umeda palmed his hips again and snuggled his hips up tight against Shizuki's ass. Both paused for a second, neither moving or breathing, as Umeda's cock nuzzled against Shizuki's hole like it was trying to find its home. Umeda caressed the blond's hips as he rubbed his dick back and forth across that inviting hole. He was hoping Shizuki would unwind just a little before he tried to press in. He couldn't wait to much longer though. His cock was pulsing so hard from arousal that it was almost painful. Still, he waited until he felt the blond's body loosen up just a little; then he was moving forward. The head of his dick slipped in easily. Shizuki tensed and whined as Umeda began to press in further.
"Shhhh, you're ok," Umeda soothed. "Take a deep breath. Relax or you'll hurt yourself."
Shizuki forced himself to take long, deep breaths and focus on the feel of Umeda's caresses on his hips. His body began to release some of its tension. He tried his best to stay relaxed as Umeda continued to press inside of him. There was pressure and stretching, stinging pain as Umeda tunneled deeper. He was shocked when he felt the soft brush of the doctor's balls against his ass. He'd taken it all in. The thought made him turn red.
"Oh fuck," Umeda gasped out. He'd never felt anyone so tight, warm, and wet in his life. It was ecstasy. It was like finding total perfection. "Fuck, Shizuki." He was barely coherent to say that.
The blond groaned at the lust and awe in his lover's voice. It was pleasing to know the man was lost in the sensations of his body just from penetration. He was still struggling to get used to the intrusion. He felt stretched beyond anything he'd ever felt. What was really mind boggling to him was how full and right this felt though. He expected it to hurt, to be humiliating, and not enjoy this. Instead, he was feeling like his body had been waiting for this. It was incredible.
"Fuck," he breathed in amazement. "You're really inside me…"
"Right to the rim." Umeda whispered, looking down to drink in the erotic sight of his cock buried in his lover's ass for the first time. "So fucking hot. Can I move?"
"Yeah." Shizuki consented after a moment of hesitation.
The first thrust had them both gasping in unison. Umeda's fingers dug into the blond's hips as he began to move in a slow, steady rhythm. Shizuki concentrated on the new, odd feeling of Umeda moving inside of him. The sting lasted for several thrusts then began to melt away as his body got used to the slip and slid of that hot cock inside him. He lost the rest of the tension in his body. He let his hips rock in the tide of Umeda's thrusts as he let himself just feel.
Umeda bit his lips as Shizuki's hips began to move in tandem with his. The tight heat and friction had him almost seeing stars. It felt like Shizuki's body had wrapped his cock in a bear hug on the inside. He wanted to move faster, go deeper, and fuck Shizuki until he screamed. He forced himself to speed up slowly. He'd promised to be gentle. He would keep his word, despite his body begging him to fuck Shizuki into the ground. That kind of sex could come later. He would be gentle and go slow, even if he got blue balls doing it.
The doctor pressed the blond's shoulders down lower, making Shizuki splay across the blanket. He held onto Shizuki's hips with one hand as he leaned over the curve of the blond's back. He used other hand to prop himself up as he began to fuck deeper. The new position changed the angle of his cock. The next thrust in rewarded him with a sharp yelp and a jerk of Shizuki's hips.
"What-?" Shizuki gasped in confusion. It had felt like an electric charge of pleasure had bolted straight from his ass to his brain then down to his cock.
Umeda laughed breathlessly. "That was your sweet spot. If you liked how you were feeling before this is a hundred times better."
Shizuki cried out as Umeda hit that spot harder with the next thrust. "Fuck," he gasped. It was like a thousand electric tingles singeing every nerve at once and echoing down into his cock. His body trembled as Umeda moved faster, hitting that spot every other thrust now. A steady stream of moans and whimpers slipped past Shizuki's lips as he struggled to keep up with the sensations overwhelming his senses.
"Ah!" He gasped when Umeda seemed to somehow go deeper still. He tangled his fingers in the doctor's when he draped himself fully across the blond's back. Their hips rocked together in an age old dance of give in and take. Shizuki was beyond embarrassment. He was beyond thinking. He was lost in the feel of everything happening to his body. He swallowed hard as he listened to Umeda's pants against his neck, the slap of sweaty skin on skin, and the wet slid of sex. It was a new kind of erotic to him. He didn't know sex could be like this. He had no idea this was what Umeda was feeling every time he had fucked the doctor. Now he understood why Umeda loved it. It felt like a firestorm of sensation building steadily inside of him. His balls tightened with impending orgasm, but it was so different from what he was used to feeling. His hips stuttered against Umeda's.
"Shit," he groaned as the feeling grew intensely with every thrust. "Hokuto…!"
Umeda grinned in a predatory manner. "Almost there? So am I. Don't you dare come without me."
Shizuki buried his face in his arms. Umeda reached up to yank the blindfold off the blond's face. Shizuki gasped as he finally got see what was happening to him. The sight of Umeda leaning over him as the slap-slap of thrusts continued made his throat tighten. He glanced between his arms to see his cock bouncing against his stomach and Umeda's thighs rocking against his own. He couldn't see that cock buried inside of him, but he'd have plenty of time for that later. He bit his lip as he tried to hold out from coming. He was so fucking close now; like a teeter tooter swinging inevitably towards the opposite direction. "Please," he heard himself beg. He couldn't take it anymore. Umeda's hand closed around his dick and he was gone. His entire body felt like it snapped. He came so hard it almost hurt. It was so intense and so fucking, unbelievably amazing. He squeezed his eyes shut to trap the tears that were threatening to fall from over stimulation. He heard someone yelling and was shocked to realize it was him. He was aware of Umeda slamming inside of him twice more before he came with loud cry. He felt warmth flood his insides, half snapping him out of his orgasm induced haze. That was a sensation he certainly had never felt before.
He tilted his head over his shoulder to capture Umeda's lips in a kiss. The two exchanged sweet, soft kisses for a brief moment before Umeda pushed himself back up onto his knees. He palmed Shizuki's hips again as he pulled his softening dick out from inside his lover. His cock gave a half hearted twitch of interest at the erotic sight of cum leaking out in the wake of its absence inside the blond. Shizuki flushed bright red as Umeda spread his cheeks to watch the cum leak out more.
"Damn," Umeda murmured in awe. "You are so fucking hot." He watched for another moment before kissing the swell of Shizuki's ass. He flopped over onto his side next to the blond, utterly sated and spent from the intense sex they'd just shared. "That was awesome." He felt like such a giddy teenager for saying it, but the word covered everything. He rolled his head to the side to see Shizuki grinning at him. "Thank you," he said seriously.
"You're welcome. That was…wow. Definitely doing that again," Shizuki chuckled as he flipped over to lay on his back. He pulled the clothes out from under them and laughed at their sad, crumbled state. "Hope no one's there when we get back. They'll definitely know what we were up to."
"Who cares. It was worth it. " Umeda replied, taking his boxers and slipping them back on.
"Yes."
They slipped their clothes back on, gathered up the blanket and lunchbox, before heading back to the care. Umeda caught Shizuki up in a tight embrace soon as he'd set his armload in the car. The blond smiled as the doctor held him close. He pressed a kiss against Umeda's neck. Umeda whispered one more heartfelt thank you before kissing him soundly. They held each other for a few minutes more. They pulled away and climbed into the car. The pond disappeared behind them, and then soon the forest itself faded into the background. Umeda watched the scenery recede in the mirror. It had been the perfect end to a good day. It was the perfect end of great vacation. He'd be happy to go home, but he would certainly never forget this time they had spent here in California. There had been a lot of new things that had happened to him here. Shizuki had finally fully opened up to him and accepted every aspect of their relationship. They were closer now than they had been before coming here.
Thank God for California, Umeda thought with a grin. The trip had definitely been worth it.

Yes, last official chapter. I hope you all liked it. I had a blast writing that last smut scene. Yes, that last line I added because I felt like being ironic with the shit that's going on as far as the gay marriage issue in California. I won't get into my opinion on it. I just felt like messing with Cali. :-P This has been a wonderful story to work on. It's the most fluff I've ever written for any story of mine. I can't promise if I'll ever do another story involving this pairing. I have no future ideas at this time. Maybe something with come up. You all with be the first to know, of course. In the mean time, come back for the epilogue. I promise more smut for a parting gift. :)
