A/N: So this is an update, and I've decided to continue the two-shot as well as adding Ukyo and Louis to the story. This is now no longer a completed fic, but a work in progress.

Okay, so you might be able to tell in this chapter that I don't like Ema that much… I'm sorry, she just gets on my nerves: I only watched the show for Azusa and Tsubaki, but her indecisiveness (stereotypical of a shoujo heroine) annoys me. Ukyo's view of her represents mine in that way.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and the Louis/Ukyo love…


Ukyo and Louis

Ukyo ran a hand through his perfectly coiffed blonde hair. It had been a long day, with two new cases for the young lawyer and another one coming up. His barrister's suit felt stiff around his shoulders, and he ached to be out of the heavy, constricting clothes.

He couldn't wait to get home. Stressed and overworked as he was, some of his salary going to support his younger siblings, he couldn't wait to see them. Although he had out of work research to do when he came home it was only when he was with his family that he allowed himself to relax. Cooking in particular was one of his hobbies. And today, Louis would be home…

The train back was crowded and packed with returning businessmen and Ukyo smoothed the expression of annoyance on his face as one man whacked the back of his knees with his briefcase. His sharp blue eyes had narrowed at the irritation, but as always he'd managed to rein in his acidic tongue before he let loose a biting complaint.

As Ukyo the lawyer he was cool, calm and confident; as Ukyo the older brother he was caring and approachable, efficiently looking after his family. It was only on the rare occasion that he let his true nature show through, and then only in front of one person. That was when he truly enjoyed himself. Although he normally loved his job, and he adored his family, it wasn't often he was able to be himself in front of them. But sometimes, when the stress of his career and the responsibility placed on him became too much, he just had to let loose…

As soon as Ukyo opened the front door he was hit with the ear-shattering wave of noise that meant most of his siblings were home. The chatter emanated from the kitchen, and as the blond lawyer entered the room he was greeted by several indistinguishable replies of 'Welcome home!'

"Kyo-nii! Kyo-nii!" Wataru's excited, high-pitched voice called out to the tired lawyer. "It's the fireworks festival tonight!"

Ukyo let out a chuckle of laughter in reply, ruffling his younger brother's soft hair. The boy looked almost feverish with excitement, his eyes shining, already dressed in his yukata ready to go.

The table had already been set, and smiling good-naturedly Ukyo allowed himself to be dragged to his seat by an enthusiastic Wataru. Tonight was a special fireworks festival, and most of the family would be going out - even Wataru would be allowed to stay up late.

The rest of the family was loud and happy; all were talking about the night's upcoming activities, though none were yet dressed up like their youngest brother. Taking his seat, Ukyo looked around, searching for that one quiet presence. Immediately he found the oasis of calm he was looking for. Louis was sat up the table from him, four seats up and across, his close surroundings a sedate bubble in the whirlpool of chaos around him.

He was talking to Masaomi-kun, but looked up when he felt his Niisan's gaze rest on him. Louis' lips formed a light smile as a greeting, and Ukyo's groin throbbed in response, but he forced himself to only smile politely back. He felt a slight prickle of irritation when Louis proceeded to turn back around and continue talking to his other older brother. For Louis to do this to Ukyo – he was practically ignoring him. Ukyo shot covert daggers at Masaomi out of the corner of his eyes.

Dinner was rushed yet sumptuous. Everyone was eager to finish up quickly so that they could leave for the fireworks, and Ukyo spent most of the meal attempting to catch his brother's eye, who smoothly looked the other way. Ukyo was almost surprised: Louis was uncharacteristically headstrong at times.

As dinner was closing up and his siblings began to drift away to get ready, Ema-chan interrupted Ukyo's covert ogling of Louis to ask him about the festival.

"Kyo-niisan, are you coming to see the fireworks display as well?" His new step-sister asked politely, taking his plate from in front of him to wash up. Ukyo saw Louis - still eating - pause, listening as his chopsticks were held in front of his mouth. Inwardly he smirked. He plastered a smile on his face and turned to his sister.

"I'm afraid not, Imoto-chan. I'll have to have an early night tonight; this week's work has truly exhausted me." He smiled sweetly, tilting one head to the side, and across the table Ukyo caught his brother's eye. Louis resolutely looked away back down at his food, and continued eating, a faint blush on his cheeks. Ukyo quelled his anger as Louis continued to avoid his eyes.

Ema-chan pouted, and fluffed her hair out of the way of her eyes. "That's a shame. You really work too hard, Nii-san. You should try to enjoy yourself a little more."

Ukyo smiled. "I'm afraid I have to help provide for all of you, my dear." Ema-chan looked taken aback, and he decided to soften his words a little. "Besides, I love my work, and I like earning to support my family." His smile this time was genuine, and Ema-chan dropped the matter, mollified.

She turned to her other step-brother next. "Louis Nii-chan? You're coming, aren't you?" Ema-chan smiled at her quiet sibling, and Louis opened his mouth to respond, swallowing his udon. Clearing his throat, Ukyo cut smoothly in before Louis had a chance to reply.

"Louis will be spending the night with me, Ema-chan." He winked at his younger brother. Louis choked on his food. "I've asked him to help me sort through some documents before I turn in for the night, and as I haven't seen him for a while it will be nice to catch up." He looked over the top of his glasses at Louis to see a shadow of some undeterminable emotion flicker across his face.

Louis frowned – practically kicking and shouting for him – but remained silent, and didn't counter Ukyo's lie. The lawyer felt a thrill of satisfaction shoot through him at his younger brother's submission.

"Really? Louis-chan, I thought you were looking forward to this!" Ema-chan looked surprised, and Ukyo's eyes narrowed as he watched Louis over the table. Louis felt his brother's eyes on him, and winced as he tried not to meet his eyes. A faint blush coloured his cheeks.

"I also feel as if I am too tired to go out tonight, Chi-chan." He tilted his head to one side good-naturedly, shell-pink lips forming a delicate, apologetic smile. "I'm sorry; I know I said I would go." As Ema sulked prettily, Ukyo cleared his throat, feeling the sudden stiffening in his trousers as stirred on by Louis' smile the unbidden mental image of Louis' pink, swollen lips positioned around his cock arose in his mind.

"Ah, well! I shall have to have Juli as my escort then!" Ema-chan laughed as her pet squirrel darted across the floor and jumped onto the table and then to her shoulder. Ukyo held back a grimace of distaste at the sight of the creature stepping on the place they'd be eating. Louis only smiled.

As Ema-chan bustled off, Louis rose to follow her, smoothly stepping out of Ukyo's way as he also quickly stood to follow him.

"Pardon me," he murmured. "I shall just go and help Chi-chan with the dishes." His eyes were downcast, resting on Ukyo's feet as the taller man blocked his way, and Ukyo felt that familiar surge of irritation. Grabbing his sibling's arm, and ignoring his startled cry, he dragged his graceful brother to the up the stairs and to the corridor between their rooms. Louis struggled, but weakly, and when Ukyo pushed him up against the wall he didn't protest, looking at the floor warily.

Ukyo caught Louis' chin in his hand, and tilted his brother's feminine face up to his, thrilling to the touch of his soft skin. Louis' eyes looked startled as they locked gaze with his brother. With his thumb Ukyo caressed one of Louis' high cheekbones. "It's nice to see you again, Louis." He spoke softly, running the foreign syllables off of his tongue like honey, a hidden warning running like an undercurrent through his words. Louis sensed the implied threat beneath the greeting and softly jerked his head away from his brother's grip - an abruptly aggressive gesture for one such as himself – and gazed up at his brother silently.

Ukyo smiled at this gesture of insubordination. He was going to make him pay for that later: for that, and for ignoring him at the dinner table. But instead of lashing out now Ukyo ran his hand up and down his brother's arm seductively, gloating at the fact that at least now he had captured his prey. Ah, Louis: he hadn't felt this good since the last time he had seen him. He practically felt light-headed, and just thinking of the evening ahead of him made him want to almost dance with joy. Not that he would do so.

Ukyo's grip on his brother's arm suddenly tightened, and Louis let out a small gasp of pain. His older brother stared at him, waiting, and closing his eyes, Louis bowed his head, submitting.

"Welcome home, Niisan," he said quietly. Ukyo felt a jolt of blood rushing to his groin, but he merely inclined his head gracefully at his brother's words, lips stretching into a satisfied smile. Ukyo's eyes trailed over his brother's porcelain skin for any signs of ill-health, but he looked unharmed, even well. His water-coloured violet eyes were demurely lowered, and Ukyo noted that endearing faint tinge of pink brushing his upper cheeks again. A slight rush of excitement suddenly filled his chest, but he quelled it. There would be enough time for excitement later.

Reaching out his free hand, Ukyo touched gently touched Louis' cheek. "You are well?" He asked. His words were tender, but also commanding. If anyone had touched his brother whilst he wasn't here without his permission, then they would be sorry, even if they were one of his own siblings. Louis was his property. Ukyo relaxed when his brother nodded. "Good."

As Louis once again looked away from him, Ukyo drew his brother close, surprising the smaller, younger man. "I've missed you." He murmured throatily, one of his hands sliding up Louis' neck and into his hair, caressing the silky strands so elegantly tied up. Louis shivered in his brother's grip, but didn't invite Ukyo to touch him any further, remaining silent. He looked away and to the side of Ukyo's face, blatantly ignoring his brother's entreaties to intimacy.

Angrily, Ukyo slid a hand around Louis' back, slipping down over his trousers and the gentle curve there. Louis jumped, and almost glared angrily at his brother as Ukyo groped the firm flesh of his behind. He restrained himself as he caught Ukyo's warning look. Through the material, Ukyo's fingers teasingly pressed at that most delicate of spots, and Louis flushed a bright red. "Ukyo-"

"What's wrong? You said you'd do this for me." Louis fell silent, and Ukyo tilted his chin up to him. "Are you about to go back on your word?" Louis stared at him with violet eyes, and Ukyo felt a shiver run through him at the hurt look of defiance in those purple orbs. Ukyo loved that Louis only ever showed those expressions to him. "Well? Are you?" He demanded, hiding the smile that threatened to break out into his voice. He knew Louis would never reject him, not directly, at least.

Louis stared at his mouth, and with one hand still resting against his brother's ass Ukyo brought his other hand up to caress his brother's tender lips. "No," Louis whispered, and Ukyo's mouth stretched into a smile. Before Louis could move away again Ukyo pulled his brother up to him in a kiss, and he inwardly thrilled as Louis' eyes widened in shock and then sank shut as he yielded to heavy lidded desire.

Delicately Ukyo prised open his lips with his own lips, slipping his tongue into the sweetness of Louis' mouth, revelling in the shudder that passed through his brother's body as he plundered that hidden part of him. Ukyo's tongue curled and stroked gently around Louis' own tongue, encouraging him to respond, to relax and open up to him. Louis murmured softly as he answered Ukyo's caresses, his softer body pressing slightly against Ukyo's harder one.

Both of Ukyo's arms slipped around Louis' body, pulling his brother to him so that his hands were pressed up against his chest, their bodies flush together. Ukyo could already feel Louis' weak control over his body beginning to crumble. Louis' mouth worked on Ukyo's tongue, sucking on it, and as Louis grew more desperate a small cry escaped lips his as Ukyo pulled his head back a little, breaking the connection. Flushed and bright-eyed, Louis was forced to go up on tiptoes to follow his older brother. Concealing his delight, Ukyo held him closer, squeezing his brother tight around the waist and smiling at this unashamed sign of desire.

Just as things were getting good, a noise suddenly sounded from the corridor behind them. "Tsubaki!"

They both froze, suddenly guilty and afraid, and broke the kiss, even Ukyo pulling back to stare at the unexpected threat. The brothers watched as Tsubaki and Azusa came around the corridor. The twins seemed to be arguing, and both watched as Tsubaki suddenly grabbed his brother's chin and pulled Azusa's face to him. Ukyo's jaw dropped as Tsubaki forced his twin into an angry kiss, biting at his brother's lips. Louis's eyes widened in shock, and in Ukyo's arms, Louis held onto his body for support as he went weak-kneed at the sight.

Azusa broke away first, flushing an angry red, and panting fumingly. He seemed royally pissed, and blood was dripping from his freshly cut lip. Then his eyes widened as he saw Ukyo and Louis standing in the corridor behind his twin, watching them. He mouth gaped open and shut like a fish as his face struggled for composure, and snapping something irritably at his twin Tsubaki turned around to see what his brother was gawking at. His eyes also opened in shock at the sight of his two older brothers.

Azusa regained his composure first, but not after first noticing the incriminating position his brothers were in. He smoothed his suit and bowed his head stiffly. "Nii-san, Louis-chan." He greeted them, face flushed a delicate pink, but unlike Azusa, Tsubaki only smirked at them knowingly. At this look of comprehension Louis struggled to push himself out of Ukyo's arms, and tightening his grip, Ukyo didn't let them. Ukyo nodded back to the twins in return. Louis' face burned.

Tsubaki shot them a last defiant smile, and then grabbed his brother's hand and dragged him off. "Nii-sans", he said, mockingly, as he disappeared.

They were soon out of sight around the corner. Both Louis and Ukyo remained in shock. Louis still stared at the place where the twins had been. Speculatively, Ukyo gazed at the same area. "I had thought…" He trailed off, and Louis turned in his arms to look at him.

Louis offered an embarrassed smile. "I had thought too… they might have been doing… something along those lines." Louis' voice was quiet and, suddenly strangely peaceful, as if he were contemplating something. Ukyo didn't like that he had snapped out of his wanton phase, but that was the first properly civil sentence Louis had offered him all night. Maybe it was even the first properly civil sentence he'd offered for weeks. Ever since they had entered into this illicit relationship, Louis' attitude towards him had changed – and changed so drastically that he was surprised the other members of the Asahina family hadn't noticed it. Not that he would argue about.

Maybe he was still in shock. But the sight of his brother's smile sent a jolt through him, and pulling his brother's warm body closer in his arms he drew Louis into another kiss before he had time to revert to his original manner. Of course, he could revert to however he liked in the bedroom, as long as he did what Ukyo said, but right now, this - this was nice…

Louis kissed him back, hands reaching up to hold Ukyo's face closer, pushing his glasses out of the way although Louis knew Ukyo didn't like him doing that. Ukyo let him however, and after a few minutes of passionate, mutually satisfying kissing, he drew back to look at his younger brother.

"To the bedroom?" Although it was phrased as a question, Louis knew better than to think it was a request. His face fell slightly and Ukyo felt a pang of regret as he saw that Louis was already retreating back into his cold, small shell, away from him.

"To the bedroom." He brother agreed mournfully, as if stating a dispiriting fact.

Whatever his brother may have been feeling, Ukyo couldn't help but smile.

A/N: These guys have a bit of a complicated relationship… Hopefully it will be explained more in the next update. I'm also thinking of changing the title of this sometime now that it's no longer just Azusa and Tsubaki, so keep an eye out for that.

Please drop me a review! I know quite a few of you have favourited, and it would be nice to hear your thoughts on even only Tsubaki and Azusa, even if it's just a simple 'nice chapter' or something. I'd be happy with anything! (Well…)

Warning: Penetrative sex next chapter, as well as toys and light to moderate S&M.
