Chapter 2

Hiroki was already situated in their bed which he was surprised to notice they didn't have anything wrong with them. Though, he was still hesitant in sleeping in that bed but they couldn't sleep on the chairs so they would have to risk it. The pillows were decent enough but he sprayed some of his cologne on them to make them smell better.

He opened up the novel that he took out if his bag while he let out deep sigh. He kept an ear out for anything suspicious since he thought about what Nowaki told him, what they have experienced so far was strange. Maybe when they went to dinner they might hear from the other passengers if they had anything odd happening to them.

Nowaki got into the showers and allowed the water to wash over him, ridding him of the sweat. At least they had warm water...Though it sometimes altered from warm and cold. Nowaki stood there for a bit just to clear his head of his worries, before he started scrubbing his hair with the shampoo. Once he was finished, he turned off the water and dried himself off with the towel and then got dressed in his pajamas. Nowaki walked out of the bathroom while rubbing his damp hair with the towel.

"Do you want to use it, Hiro-san?"

Hiroki looked up from the novel in his hands as he nodded his head. "Sure," He closed the book and stood up from the bed as he dug out his towel and his shampoo from his bag before he ventured inside of the bathroom.

He didn't bother closing the door as he stripped out of his clothes and turned on the shower. Putting out his hand under the water to test the temperature, he stood there in the nude as he shivered from the lack of clothing. When he found that it was warm enough, he got inside of the shower and wet his hair.

Nowaki sat down on the bed and rested his weight on his palms. His gaze found the other's body peeking from the showers, and he flushed. Nowaki grabbed a water bottle from his duffel bag and chugged it down to try and calm his hormones. Hiroki had an ability to get Nowaki turned on in any situation and any time.

Hiroki lathered up some shampoo in his hands before he started washing his hair. He added more shampoo in his hands before he washed his chest and his arms. He left the soap in his hair so he would rinse himself off all at once and wouldn't have to worry about taking too much time in the shower.

He was thinking about what they could order for dinner later, after all this activity he realize that he was hungry. Hiroki bent down to wash his legs and from his peripheral vision, he thought he saw something in the mirror. Waiting a few seconds, he snapped to his right but saw nothing when he stared at it. He frowned as he kept his eyes on the mirror for a few seconds before he rolled his eyes and continued on washing himself.

Nowaki finished half the bottle before putting it on the counter beside the bed and laying down on the stiff mattress. He stared up at the black hue ceiling. Everything about this ship was suddenly creeping him out. But Nowaki tried to focus his mind on why they were here: to enjoy each other's company.

Hiroki rinsed off all of the suds as he turned off the water and got out of the tub. He grabbed his towel and then dried his hair slightly before drying the rest of his body. Putting the towel around his neck, Hiroki walked out of the bathroom and stood right beside the door.

He asked Nowaki. "Nowaki, are we going to go eat dinner later or are we going in the morning to eat breakfast?"

"Well we could-" Nowaki started as he swung his legs on the side of the bed and sat upright. He caught the other's naked body and flushed; his thought completely leaving him. "Uh...It-it's up to you." He responded and looked to the side to press the back of his hand against his lips. Shit, Hiroki knew how Nowaki felt about him going around like that. Still he's doing things like this.

Hiroki arched a brow at Nowaki's curt answer as he crossed his arms over his chest. "I don't know if you are hungry or not. Besides, you were the one that wanted to see if the food was good as it was described on the pamphlet which I have to say I want to find out myself."

"Al-Alright, we'll go." Nowaki said as he stood up quickly. "Go get dressed." He was definitely going to get Hiroki for this when they come back.

Nowaki zipped open his bag and took out a fresh pair of clothes before changing where he stood.

Hiroki felt Nowaki's gaze on him as he changed into his clothes. He purposely put on his clothes at a slow pace while he stared at Nowaki from the corner of his eyes. It was fun to tease Nowaki, especially when he knew he wouldn't do anything since they were both hungry. It was also to keep his lover's mind off of the odd things happening on the ship, from the way Nowaki was staring at him, it worked like a charm.

When he was finished, he placed his phone and his wallet inside of his pockets before he put on his shoes. He stuck his tongue at Nowaki as he walked to the door and waited for Nowaki so they could go to the dining room.

Nowaki was practically salivating at the sight, and he wouldn't be able to look away even if he wanted to. Nowaki followed Hiroki out of the room as the two of them made their way to the dining room across the ship. On the way, Nowaki walked beside Hiroki and groped the other's butt cheek as payback for what happened back there.

Hiroki glared at Nowaki for the action but instead of saying anything he groped Nowaki's ass instead. There was no one around to see them so they could get away with it. He gave him a good squeeze before he patted his ass and walked a few steps ahead.

Nowaki let out a sound of surprise at the attack back at him, and quickened his steps in order to catch up with Hiroki. He grasped the other's hand as they arrived at the dining room, which was almost scarce of people.

The dinning room was more decent than their room and Hiroki let a sigh of relief. His stomach growled as he watched the couple he saw earlier eating a good looking dinner. Hiroki felt Nowaki's hand tightening around his own, he didn't know if Nowaki was still scared from what happened earlier but at least they were in a room full of people.

Nowaki was just a bit nervous. Though he wasn't exactly sure what he was nervous of. He followed Hiroki to a seat and they sat down on the squeaky chairs and waited for the waiter to come with their menus.

"You can order first." Nowaki smiled at Hiroki from across the table.

Hiroki nodded his head when he said. "Alright, the steak I saw on our way over here looked good so I might get that."

Nowaki nodded and waited with Hiroki for a waiter. Nobody came for a while, and Nowaki's expression crinkled.

"Maybe they didn't see us come in." Nowaki reasoned while standing up and making his way to the kitchen door. But before he could peek inside, the door swung open and out came another grizzly looking man.

"Woah there, sorry about that." The man laughed. Nowaki let out a nervous laugh of his own,

"Uhm, I was wondering if-"

"Ah, did I keep you waiting? Sorry sorry, I'm coming right now." The man gave another hearty laugh before heading to their table. Nowaki blinked, a bit confused, before following the man.

Hiroki waited at the table as he tapped his fingers on the surface as he tried not to get impatient. His stomach growled as Hiroki sighed, he hoped there was good food on this ship. They should at least give them great tasting food when a lot of things on this ship were either broken or misleading from the pamphlet.

Hiroki noticed a man coming to their table as he observed him and didn't say anything.

"Sorry about the wait." The man said as Nowaki sat back down. "What could I get for you two?"

Nowaki smiled at Hiroki as he waited for the other to order first.

Hiroki told him. "I'm getting the steak, medium rare, with a steamed potato and a ceaser salad. What about you Nowaki?"

"I'll have a clam chowder, a plain salad, and what do you have for fish?" Nowaki asked.

"We've got mackerel." The man responded.

"I'll have that then." Nowaki said, and handed the man his menu.

"Great! And would that be wine for the both of you or?" The man glanced between Hiroki and Nowaki.

Hiroki turned to Nowaki when he asked him. "Do you want to share with me or do you want something else? I don't mind either way."

"We'll share it." Nowaki said, and the man nodded before heading off back towards the kitchen. Nowaki saw the man putting on a chef's hat on the way inside. They must be short on staff...

Hiroki arched a brow when he said. "I didn't expect you to share with me, I thought you didn't like wine all that much."

Nowaki shrugged before resting his arms on the table,

"It's romantic, so why not?" He said with a grin. Hiroki had a tendency to over drink at times. This way, the chances of that happening were smaller; or at least they'd get drunk together.

Hiroki patted Nowaki's shoulder as he shook his head in amusement. "The only thing left is that you managed to get someone to get candles and someone playing some instrument to set the mood or something..." He paused before he asked Nowaki. "You didn't do that did you?"

Nowaki chuckled as he leaned closer, "No but do you want me to?" He asked in a teasing tone while glancing to the side in imitation.

Hiroki made a face when he said. "If you dare do any of those things, I will leave you here and go to our room by myself."

Nowaki expression dropped and he quickly grasped Hiroki's hands,

"Hiro-San," he whined just as the waiter/chef came with their meals and wine.

"Enjoy." The man smiled after pouring their glasses, and left.

Hiroki thanked the server and waited until the man was long gone when he leaned close to Nowaki with a slight smirk. "I am only kidding Nowaki, I would leave you by yourself."

Nowaki breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile. They began eating in a comfortable silence, though Nowaki kept glancing around while sipping his soup. The place was awfully quiet, even for a sophisticated restaurant.

Hiroki finished his salad as he noticed that Nowaki's attention was somewhere else. "Is there something wrong Nowaki?" Hiroki asked before taking a sip of his wine.

"Huh?" Nowaki whipped his attention back to Hiroki. "No, I was just... I just find it strange how quiet this place is. No one's smiling or anything."

He did notice a smile on one of the women at a table, but it quickly faded as she looked back down at her meal.

Hiroki took notice of the strange atmosphere as well. "It really is strange..no one else is talking." He leaned closer to Nowaki and whispered. "You don't think the same thing that happened to us, happened to them right?"

What the other said sent shivers through Nowaki's spine.

"Don't say it like that. You make it sound like this place is haunted." Nowaki whined while chewing on a piece of lettuce.

Hiroki frowned. "It shouldn't be but.." He reached out and patted Nowaki's hand. "Don't worry too much about it, I'm sure what happened to us was a one time thing and there is nothing wrong."

Nowaki swallowed the salad in his mouth then gave a weary smile.

"Yeah. Let's just try to enjoy ourselves as much as possible on this trip."

Hiroki sipped more of his wine and ate a piece of his steak before he spoke. "On the bright side, this is the first real vacation we have had in months."

Nowaki nodded as he finished his salad and began on his mackerel.

"I missed spending moments like this together. It's really nice."

Hiroki finished his wine as he poured himself another glass. "That's true...we should go abroad to that one place you wanted to go to in Europe when we have another vacation. We have enough savings to actually go there and spend a good week there." Hiroki placed his glass on the table. "I forgot, was it Italy or France?"

"France." Nowaki said while bringing the glass of wine to his lips. "But we can go wherever you'd like." He took a sip and tried to hold back from wincing at the strong flavor. He usually didn't drink wine, so the taste knocked him at the back of the head.

"I don't mind going to France, I keep getting told that the food and wine is pretty good." Hiroki noticed Nowaki's reaction after drinking more wine. "You don't have to force yourself to drink it if it is too much for you Nowaki." He teased him as he sipped more wine.

Nowaki let out a small laugh as he set his glass down on the table. "It's alright. Better than having you down the whole thing by yourself." He said as he took another bite of mackerel.

Hiroki narrowed his eyes when he said. "Is this because of the last time I got drunk, I practically fondled you in front of all those people?"

Nowaki nearly choked on another sip of wine, "H-Hiro-san!" He said in a loud whisper and glanced around. Luckily, it didn't seem like anybody heard them. "At least lower your voice, geez..." He glanced at Hiroki with a slight flush in his cheeks.

Hiroki sipped more wine as he smirked. "Oh c'mon Nowaki, don't tell me that you were embarrassed by that? Normally, you wouldn't care about all that."

Nowaki's flush grew redder and he ducked his head down to stuff his face with mackerel. Hiroki knew him like a book, and that wasn't always such a good thing.

Hiroki let out a slight chuckle as he sipped more wine while watching Nowaki trying to hide his embarrassment. His lover was so entertaining and he loved teasing him when he had the opportunity to do it. He ate more of his food while he tried not to crack a smile at when Nowaki almost dropped his glass of wine when he reached for it.

Nowaki took another shaky sip of wine to wash down the fish, then placed it back down on the table. He wiped his mouth with the napkin on the table and waited for Hiroki to finish. Watching his lover helped him to calm down a bit.

Many people view Hiroki as a serious and hard-edge man, but Nowaki knows all the right buttons to push to get the other to spout certain things that were far from serious.

Hiroki finished his meal as he downed the last bit of his wine and poured himself another glass. It took a lot of alcohol to make him drunk off his ass and he knew his limit before he went crazy. Well at times he forgot about his limit but that was real rare and it almost never happened.

He heard a couple in the other table chattering to each other in low voices and he tried not to listen to them. When the topic of the off fog came up, Hiroki was suspicious on wanting to know the experiences of the other people but he didn't want to seem nosy. He turned to Nowaki and noticed him staring right at him as he looked the other way with a slight flush to his cheeks. Was he caught listening to those people?

The other's flustered expression made the tips of Nowaki's lips curl into a smile. He reached a hand over and touched the top of Hiroki's hand, which was holding his glass. He stroked Hiroki's knuckles in a loving manner, without much meaning behind the gesture.

Hiroki gripped the glass when he realized what Nowaki was doing. The tender manner he caressed his knuckles, the innocent smile on Nowaki's face, he knew he was doing this as payback for his earlier comment. His cheeks turned more pink as he tried not to take back his hand like he usually did.

Nowaki pulled back his hand when he saw the waiter/chef coming towards their table.

"I hope you two enjoyed the food." The man said while clasping his hands together.

Nowaki nodded and asked for the bill before paying for the food.

Hiroki gulped down the rest of his wine when Nowaki took his hand off of him. He kept his eyes on him as he carefully placed him glass on the table.

"You ready to go?" Nowaki smiled to Hiroki when the waiter thanked them and left.

Hiroki nodded his head. "Sure let's get going."

On the way back to their room, it was already dark. The waves slapped against the side of the ship loudly, causing the floor to sway subtly from side to side. Nowaki tried to focus his attention on Hiroki as he grasped onto the other's hand while walking back to their room.

Hiroki managed to keep himself from falling onto the floor when he lost his footing for a second. He wasn't used to walking on a ship when it was moving so much. The grip on his hand tightened as he looked up and saw Nowaki looking down at him.

"You alright?" Nowaki looked to Hiroki with a worried expression as he kept a firm grip on the other's hand. He had a tendency to worry about the other getting hurt, even though Hiroki had a tendency to get hurt easily.

"I'm fine, the ship just took me by surprise that's all." Hiroki told Nowaki as he looked the other way.

Nowaki nodded and led Hiroki into their room before shutting the door. Luckily, it seemed like the manager was able to replace the broken lightbulb while they were away.

Hiroki let out a sigh as he rubbed his belly and walked inside of the room. "That was seriously some good food..."

"Mmhmm..." Nowaki hummed as he took a few steps closer and hugged the other from behind,

"Hiro-san...You smell like wine."

Hiroki arched a brow as he leaned against Nowaki's chest. "And you needed to say I smell like wine because?"

"Because you set the mood right up." Nowaki said in a quiet voice before delivering soft kisses along Hiroki's neck.

Hiroki let out a sigh as he felt Nowaki's tender kisses on his neck. "Oh really?"

Nowaki chuckled before tilting Hiroki's chin back to connect their lips. Meanwhile, his other hand trailed down the other's arm.

Hiroki's eyes closed as he wrapped his arms around Nowaki's neck and pulled their bodies close. He kissed him back as he felt those warm hands caressing his body.

Nowaki never broke the kiss even as he guided them to the bed. When he felt his leg touch the mattress, Nowaki pushed the other onto the bed and climbed on top. Even for a run-down ship, their beds were still soft and comfortable.

Hiroki pulled Nowaki on top of him as he deepened the kiss. He got comfortable on the sheets as he caressed Nowaki's sides and sneaked his hands underneath his shirt. He felt Nowaki's soft and warm skin underneath his fingertips as he pushed up Nowaki's shirt.

Nowaki groaned at the touch and began grinding his chest and crouch against Hiroki's.

He impatiently tugged the other's pants down in order to slip one hand down Hiroki's boxers, brushing against the other's heat.

Hiroki hitched his breath as he felt Nowaki touching his dick. He broke the kiss as he started nibbling Nowaki's neck, leaving kiss marks in places he was sure Nowaki would need his turtleneck to hide.

Nowaki shifted his hand to caress the side of Hiroki's thigh and massage it softly. His other hand went up to entangle in Hiroki's hair. The other's kisses sent shudders throughout his body.

Hiroki continued on kissing Nowaki's neck up to his lips as he kissed him deeply. He let Nowaki caress his body without a care in the world as he focused his attention on Nowaki. Hiroki lifted up his leg as he managed to touch Nowaki's dick and it was already hard.

Nowaki dominated the kiss; he was determined to steal away Hiroki's supply of oxygen.

He removed his hand and soon began grinding his hips against the other. The friction always drove him insane, and Nowaki let out a ragged breath before tugging on Hiroki's lower lip and getting it swollen.

Hiroki moaned through all the caresses, the kisses, everything was making him insane. He put his hands all through Nowaki's hair as he grabbed some handfuls.

Nowaki grinned against the other's lips, liking how he was making his lover react. He soon decided to take it up a notch, and hastily stripped off his shirt and jeans in order to grind his exposed dick against Hiroki's clothed crotch. He bit his lower lip when the tingles shot through his body.

Hiroki groaned from the friction and kissed him again. He reached down and grabbed a hold of Nowaki's cock as he stroked it slowly.

Nowaki cursed under his breath when he felt something hot wrap around his cock. He gripped tightly onto Hiroki's hips and pressed his crotch firmer against the other's hand, letting the feeling travel through him.

Hiroki smirked as he applied pressure when he moved his hand up and down Nowaki's dick. "Is something wrong, Nowaki?" He managed to ask Nowaki before their hips grind on each other.

Nowaki gave a shaky grin before leaning in and nipping at Hiroki's neck. He wasn't about to let the other have all the fun.

"So sly..." He replied with a chuckle as he left marks on the skin, to pay back for the ones Hiroki had left on him earlier.

Hiroki managed to take off his shirt as he tossed it aside. "You better not leave...ah..any of them too visible..I don't have any turtlenecks like you."

Nowaki smiled and softly kissed the love marks that he left.

"Don't worry, I'll lend one of mine to you if you need it." After saying that, Nowaki pressed his cock back against Hiroki's thigh. He then rummaged in the pockets of his discarded jeans for the small bottle of lube he hid inside earlier, before they had left for dinner.

Hiroki told Nowaki with a slight pout. "I will look like I am swallowed up in any of your shirts, Nowaki." He crossed his arms across his chest as he checked down and tried to see any of the markings.

"Aww, but I think you look good in them." Nowaki said half the truth; the other half was a tease. He squeezed some of the cool liquid onto his fingers and closed the bottle before putting it to the side.

"Though if my shirts covered so much of you, that means I can leave marks anywhere and it wouldn't matter." Nowaki stated while bending down to kiss Hiroki's exposed stomach. He pressed his lubricated fingers against his lover's exposed entrance and prodded the opening.

Hiroki hissed his as he held onto the sheets on the bed. "O-Of course you would think that..." He relaxed as he felt cool gel and Nowaki's gentle kisses on his skin.

"But isn't it true?" Nowaki hummed while gently staring to push a finger inside Hiroki. The warmth made him want to groan, but he held it back by nipping at the skin on the other's abdomen.

Hiroki winced at the bite which distracted him from the finger entering his ass. He looked down at Nowaki with narrowed eyes. "Only you would think that..."

"But you're not opposing the idea." Nowaki stated while pushing his finger until he was at the knuckles. He slowly moved it back and forth before adding a second finger and using them to push apart Hiroki's tight walls,

"Which means our minds think alike."

"S-Shut up!" Hiroki denied it as he covered his eyes with his forearm. "You're the weird one."

Nowaki grinned at the other's reaction as he continued to do what he was doing.

"Hiro-san is so cute." He coos and placed a kiss on Hiroki's chest. Nowaki removed his fingers when he felt it was enough prepping, and shifted on top of Hiroki. He slipped off his shirt and tossed it to the side, and then leaned down to nudge Hiroki's jawline with his nose, "I'm going in now."

Hiroki moved his arm aside as he glared at him and he poked his chest. "I am not cute." He pecked Nowaki's cheek as he wrapped his arms around him. "I am at least somewhat handsome." He relaxed against the bed as he felt the tip of Nowaki's cock touching his entrance.

"Such an egoist." Nowaki laughed, but soon quieted while he began pushing into the other. One hand grasped Hiroki's waist while the other guided his cock deeper into that warmth.

Hiroki whimpered as he held Nowaki closer to his body. "This coming from the guy..who...ah...calls me ..handsome all the time. Unless you are lying..." He looked at Nowaki with a smirk on his face.

Nowaki returned the look with a nip at Hiroki's lower lip. He thrusted the rest of his length inside the other, shuddering at the immediate tightening around him.

Hiroki let out a choked moan as he felt himself being stretched out by Nowaki's cock. He dug his nails in his back and held onto him as he got used to the feeling. He connected their lips in a light kiss.

The kiss was a sign, for Nowaki, to keep going. And he did. He moved his hips at a slow pace at first, trying to mask any pain for Hiroki by kissing him on the lips and neck. The bed underneath them was squeaking considerably. Luckily, they didn't have any direct neighbors on this ship.

Hiroki's face flushed when he heard the bed squeaking underneath them. He vaguely wondered if they had any neighbors but he doubted it. They would've heard people earlier in the evening. Also a good majority were at dinner so he was sure no one was there.

His nails scratched Nowaki's back slightly as he heard him hitch his breath while kissing his neck. He felt Nowaki thrusting into him and began hearing the sweet words Nowaki whispered to him in bed

Nowaki soon began to speed up, and the sound of their heart beats and moaning drowned out the squeaking.

"So hot..." Nowaki breathed out against Hiroki's ear as he tried to keep his pace as steady as possible.

Hiroki held onto him, his legs wrapped around tightly around Nowaki's waist as he threw his head back. "N-Nowaki! Go faster!"

Nowaki's blunt nails dug into the other's hips as he obeyed the demand. The faster he went, the fuzzier and lighter his head seemed to feel.

Nowaki entangled his fingers in Hiroki's hair, then moved it to the back of the other's head in order to bring Hiroki's face closer. He captured those lips in hungry kiss, drinking up all the noises and expressions he was getting from his lover. Nowaki began angling his thrusts as well, wanting to get every side of Hiroki exposed.

Hiroki felt himself going over the edge as he returned the kiss. It quickly turned into a sloppy one as their tongues pushed against each other. His tightened their grip on Nowaki's waist, the sensations were building up as he moaned in abandon.

Hiroki soon broke the kiss when he uttered. "Ngh...N-Nowaki!"

"Hiro-San..." Nowaki buried his face against Hiroki's soft neck, knowing he had found the spot. He continued to thrust hard and fast; the waves of pleasure were hitting him hard and causing his movements to become somewhat irregular. Nowaki opened his eyes to get a good look at his partner. Hiroki was panting hard, and his face was scrunched in such pleasure; it was beautiful.

Hiroki ran his fingers through Nowaki's hair as his prostate was hit dead on with each of Nowaki's thrusts. He couldn't control the level of his voice anymore as he kept moaning his lover's name while closing his eyes tight.

Hiroki managed to say. "I-I'm close..."

Nowaki had no problem with the volume; the louder the better. He caught the other's words and gave a small smile before kissing the side of Hiroki's lips,

"Go ahead." The tight and hot knot in his stomach was starting to grow, so Nowaki knew he wouldn't be able to last long either.

Hiroki gripped Nowaki harder as he moaned Nowaki's name when he came. He relaxed onto the bed while Nowaki kept thrusting into him. The aftershocks gave him another level of pleasure as he kept groaning.

Nowaki didn't last much long after, and his breath hitched as he came hard inside Hiroki; his entire body shuddering in wave after wave of pleasure. Nowaki slowed down his thrusts as he rid himself of the orgasm, before coming to a stop. He pulled out Hiroki and slumped down on top of the other, his face muffled in the blanket beside Hiroki's head.

Hiroki's heart resumed its normal rhythm as he smiled lightly and wrapped his arms around Nowaki. He buried his nose in Nowaki's hair, closing his eyes, he inhaled Nowaki's scent as he relaxed into the bed. Letting out a sigh, he felt the warmth exuding from Nowaki's body on his cooling skin.

Nowaki returned the hug and turned his head to whisper a soft "I love you" before planting on last kiss on Hiroki's neck, and dozing off. Nowaki drowned out all the sounds of the ship in order to focus on just their heartbeats, and Hiroki's soft breathing.

Hiroki whispered the same sentiment as he started falling asleep. He heard someone running through the hall and he paid no mind. It was none of his business after all.
