A/N: It has been a year+ since I updated this story and I APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME. But for some reason this chapter gave me a fuckton of problems. But it's done, and hopefully chapter 5 will be easier to write and you guys won't have to wait so fucking long. I still have so many things planned for this story.

"Where are you taking me, Allen?" Lavi inquired, stretching his arms over his head. He let his hands press against the roof of the car before turning to look at his friend. Allen just gave him a harmless little smile before looking back at the road, hands resting on the steering wheel in a relaxed manner. Lavi knew that whenever Allen gave him that look it meant trouble. It was innocent bordering on sinister and Lavi wondered just what Allen had up his sleeve. Lavi sighed and rolled his eye, turning to look at the road.

The rain had stopped. Kind of.

The days were filled with grey skies and drizzles, but nothing in comparison to the pouring rain that had flooded streets and gotten school canceled for three days. Everything was still incredibly soggy and Lavi had decided that boots would be better than converse and had been wearing them almost constantly since. Allen had opted out of wearing anything white for the time being since mud had this habit of getting everywhere. Lavi didn't have that problem since he rarely wore white, but he found out that black encountered a similar issue. This extended to everyone's cars as well – except for Tyki's. Lavi hadn't known the lengths his boyfriend would go to keep it clean, but so far the most impressive was stopping off at a car wash three times in one day. Everyone was teasing him for this fact, but Tyki didn't seem to care.

"Allen," Lavi whined. "Why won't you tell me where we're going?"

"Because we're here," the silver-haired young man said with a small grin and parked his car outside a line of shops. As he got out of the car, he took his time to better look around and notice the store in particular that Allen seemed to be directing his attention to. Near the end of the row, a shop with a lit sign reading Innocence Boutique, a Novelty Item and Adult Clothing Store sat open. The ceiling-to-floor length windows showed mannequins dressed in lingerie and passed them Lavi could see a surprisingly large collection of clothes, tights, and shoes.

Allen was taking him to a sex shop.

Now, normally this would be fun. He had been to his fair share of them back in Colorado, some small, some closer to the size of the one Allen was heading towards. But this was a situation he hadn't been expecting. Because he wasn't going there with a girl, to pick out some sort of sexy outfit. He wasn't going there alone to get porn (although he was more than satisfied with watching his porn online). He wasn't going there to get some sort of gag-gift for a friend's party.

He was going with his best friend and he knew what was on Allen's mind.

Lavi had never purchased a toy for his own personal use. Hell, why would he? He hadn't really realized he was into dudes until rather recently, and before that he was never lacking in girls if he wanted sex. So he was just a little bit nervous and a little bit awkward as he followed his friend through the door, the pleasant jingle of the bell startling him, and headed past the racks of outfits.

"I can't believe you've dragged me to a sex shop," Lavi said with a scowl, showing the woman at the desk his ID.

She didn't ask to see Allen's ID. "How're you doing today, Allen?"

"I'm doing wonderfully," he said with his most dazzling smile. "I hope you're doing well yourself."

"As good as always, when I see that smile of yours," she replied with a small chuckle and glanced at Lavi, a look of blatant curiosity coming across her face. But she said nothing and Allen continued past the counter to the large selection of toys.

"She knows you by name? How often are you in here?" he asked his friend, eyeing the walls and shelves of colorful vibrators and dildos. This was a very large novelty shop and Lavi was impressed with the array of different toys that were available for purchase. Near the front of the display sat the Lelo and JimmyJane vibrators and Lavi's eye widened as he spotted the price. "Shit, two hundred dollars for a vibrator?"

"I'm sure Tyki would buy you one if you asked," Allen teased as he went down the aisle. He stopped before a large display of toys specifically made for anal play.

"Oh shut up, you," Lavi said with a grin then stopped beside his friend. He stared at the display, unsure of what to make of it. He didn't generally go to this area when perusing sex shops. He made it a general rule to stop walking once he spotted the fist and there it was, standing ominously upright on the floor. "Just, why?" he asked with a small motion towards it.

Allen just waved his hand vaguely that made Lavi question, not for the first time, what he and Kanda got up to. "They have starter dildos, see?" The redhead focused on where his friend was pointing and sure enough a selection of dildos were labeled 'anal starters' of varying sizes.

"Are you serious, Allen?" Lavi asked, scratching the back of his head. "I mean, come on. Did you start with this when you started having sex with Kanda?"

"Of course not," the silver haired young man said, eyebrow raised. "But you're nervous, it's a good way to start. You probably haven't seen Tyki naked, but I have, and he's pretty well endowed." Lavi blinked slowly, staring at his friend. He couldn't help his jaw falling open at this statement. His best friend had seen his boyfriend naked! But he hadn't yet! How unfair. Not unfair, if he was naked, he'd probably want to have sex and you're not ready for that, remember idiot.

"You've seen Tyki naked?"

"I've known Tyki for a while, yeah I have," Allen said. "He has this habit of not locking doors."

Lavi made a face. He didn't really want to think of the other people Tyki had slept with. They were together now and he didn't feel like thinking about all of that. But he also couldn't help but have a brief fantasy of walking in on Tyki as he changed, or better yet, masterbated. But that'd require him knowing where Tyki lived.

"Fine, you win," Lavi said with a pout. He looked at the display for a long moment, unsure of himself before Allen grabbed one off the shelf and pushed it into his hands.

"Here, start with this one. It's only 15 dollars and it's a good size to start with," Allen said. "You could always get two. And move up when you felt comfortable with it."

Allen was discussing these things as if he were discussing the weather and all the redhead could do was keep his mouth shut and hope he wasn't blushing. He really hoped he wasn't. That'd be embarrassing, although he doubted he'd be the first to blush while in a novelty shop. "Fine. Fine," Lavi said again and took the second package that his friend handed him. "Do I get a discount since I'm with you?"

"I could probably get that for you," Allen said with a grin and handed him a bottle of lube as well, which Lavi took wordlessly. Together they headed to the cash register.

"All set, dear?"

"Yeah, think so," Lavi replied. He watched as she rang up the items and placed them in the signature black bag that all novelty shops used and pulled out his wallet.

"First time purchase discount for Allen's friend," she said. "I hope that you'll come back." She told him the total and he gave her the correct amount of cash. "How's Kanda, by the way?"

"He's fine," Allen said with a smile. "Same old Kanda. Thanks for the discount."

"No problem dears," she said and turned to Lavi. "Any friend of our best customers will get a discount now and then. Have a wonderful day."

-o-

Lavi chose to ignore his two dildos for the time being. They sat in the drawer of his bedside table, along with the bottle of lube that Allen had forced upon him (he already had some; you could never have too much lube though, right?). The rain had finally cleared up, although fog had rolled in to replace it. In the mornings as he drove to school, it sat close to the ground and hid the crowns of the trees, giving the entire city a ghostly, horror-movie feel. Later on, the sun burned the fog away and it was clear, although clouds still decorated the sky.

A week had past and he had actually forgotten about the dildos, until Allen brought them up one afternoon while they were eating lunch. Tyki was off teaching his architecture lecture and Kanda was in class, so they were alone at the picnic table under the trees. It was too damp to sit on the grass. Lavi, on his part, didn't choke on his piece of cold pizza but instead just looked over at his friend. "What about them?" he asked once he had swallowed the food in his mouth.

"Have you used them?" Allen asked with a harmless little smile.

"Haven't had the chance," Lavi replied, taking another bite of his pizza. "With school and all."

"There's always time for that," Allen commented with a grin. He played with a bit of his rice with his chopsticks and then ate it before shifting towards the piece of fish.

"Why do you always have bentos? Kanda's the Japanese one," Lavi asked, ignoring his friend's comment. He stuffed the rest of his pizza crust in his mouth and chewed it with some difficulty.

"It's easy," Allen said, watching his friend as he choked a bit on the pizza crust before swallowing it. "Plus, it's delicious. And I can fit a lot of food in here." And as if to prove his point, he lifted the top level of his bento box off and revealed even more food. What appeared to be some sort of mixed vegetables occupied one space in his box. And another had several Japanese sweets stuffed neatly together. Lavi reached over and plucked one of the small cakes out of the box and Allen let him. The redhead was a very typical college student and didn't actually pack that much lunch. The silver-haired young man, on the other hand, always had a lot of food. Lavi could only guess that his metabolism was that of a hummingbird, because his friend never gained any weight even though he ate quite a lot. How much money did he spend on food in a week?

"Well, these cakes are pretty good," he said after he took a bite. "Where do you get them?"

"Kanda gets them down at that Asian market just past down town," Allen said, finishing his fish. "Are you planning on using them? You did pay for them, after all."

"Yes, yes I will," Lavi said with a wave of his hand. He was glad that Tyki nor Kanda were here. Because he didn't want Kanda knowing he was nervous enough about having sex with his boyfriend to have starter dildos, and he didn't want Tyki to know he had gotten toys. He just knew the Portuguese man would get over enthusiastic at the idea.

"It'll be fun," Allen said. "Trust me."

"I do, sprout. 'm sure it's loads of fun. But school comes first," Lavi hummed. He crumpled up the plastic bag that had held his pizza and stuffed it back into his bag. And he was sure it would be fun. Orgasms were fun (hell, they were great!). But it was the whole building up to it. For some reason, he felt he needed…material for this to be enjoyable. Boyfriend material. Material he didn't want to ask for, even though he had no other way of getting it. "Just don't mention them around Yuu-chan or Tyki."

Allen grinned at him over the picnic table and went back to his lunch, quickly finishing it off. "Fine, I won't mention it," he said.

Watching his friend from across the table, Lavi felt a surge of conflicting emotions. He was embarrassed and not at the same time. He wasn't embarrassed for his want (no, need) for masturbation materials. What he was embarrassed about was not being able to suck it up enough to ask Tyki personally. But he so wanted pictures. Hot, (mostly) naked pictures. And although he thought he should feel ashamed about wanting to jack off to his boyfriend without telling him, he really didn't. He vaguely wondered if Tyki had done the same, thinking about him. Now that idea made him flush just a little, and he busied himself with taking a chug of his soda.

"You won't mention it doesn't equal you'll help me out!" Lavi whined, pouting across the picnic table at him.

"Help you out with what?" the silver haired young man asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Pictures! I want pictures of Tyki, that's what I want."

"Ask Tyki," Allen said, waving his hand at him.

"You just said you wouldn't tell him!"

"I won't tell him. But you should just ask him, I'm sure he'd be more than willing to give you some," Allen said as he finished up his lunch and stacked the bento box back on itself.

"I can't ask him," Lavi said and crossed his arms on the picnic table, burying his face in them. His words were muffled as he continued to speak. "I'm sure you have some hot pictures of my boyfriend, Allen. You've known him for, like, forever."

"Look at his Facebook, there are plenty pictures there," Allen complained. He had placed his bento back into his bag and was now pulling a book, notebook and pencil from it. He set it on the table and looked across the table. Lavi had raised his head swiftly to look at him. "Are you telling me that you still aren't friends with your boyfriend on Facebook?"

"I didn't even think about it," the redhead said, scratching the back of his neck. He pulled out his phone and opened up Facebook, searching for his boyfriend. Why hadn't he thought about this before? Why hadn't he thought about all of the things he could learn about Tyki from the internet? He could be so slow sometimes. "There he is," he mumbled, clicking on his boyfriend's profile.

He heard Allen laugh from across the table, but he was no longer paying attention. Tyki's profile picture had him in an incredibly formal and incredibly sexy suit with a top hat. He was wearing a top hat. And fuck that looked hot. He tapped '+Add Friend'.

"What's with the top hat?"

"I don't remember, he just really likes that picture," Allen said with a shrug. "It was for some event. He likes to go overboard, you know him."

Lavi nodded as he looked down the feed. Most everything could only be viewed by friends, so there weren't many statuses or pictures that he could actually see. A few friends here and there had posted something on his wall. He wondered how long it would take Tyki to accept his request. And then, why hadn't Tyki added him before this? Had he also forgotten? It had been a very busy semester. Or was he not all that active online?

He was surprised when he got the friend request accepted alert several minutes later. He clicked on his boyfriend's name and started to scroll down his profile. "Shouldn't he be teaching?" Lavi muttered, shaking his head. Allen shrugged from across the table and turned back to his book.

"I'm done with class," Tyki said from behind him, causing Lavi to jump and turn around to look at the man. "That's why." He scowled as the tall man slid onto the bench on his right. He forced himself to calm down from his brief panic. Lavi didn't think Tyki did it on purpose, coming up on his blind side. He probably didn't even think about it. The redhead just wished he would stop, or at least announce his presence in some way or another. But he couldn't bring himself to tell him, unsure how he would even react. So instead, he just forced his smile back onto his face and grinned, meeting Tyki's honey-colored gaze.

"You got out early," he commented, leaning to the side to rest his elbow on the table and prop his chin in his hand. "Aren't you the teacher? Shouldn't you be a good example for all the new and impressionable freshmen?"

"Today was review for the test they're having. I let them out early," Tyki said with a small shrug. "And more than half of them are juniors or seniors. You were in there, you're not a freshman."

Lavi stuck his tongue out at him and Tyki leaned close to him, no doubt intent on claiming his tongue as his own. The redhead pulled away from him with a grin, not letting their lips touch.

"Giving them a test so near Halloween, you're heartless," Lavi drawled, finding Tyki's hand under the picnic table and took it, intertwining his fingers with Tyki's. His boyfriend flexed his fingers, tightening them minutely. He then glanced at the time on his phone and looked across the table at Allen. "Hey Sprout, don't you have class at two? It's five till," he remarked, frowning.

Allen's silver head snapped up from his book and snatched up his phone to check the time. His eyes widened and he jumped from his seat, practically throwing his books into his bag. He missed one and it went flying across the table, flipping end over end before it thudded to a halt before Tyki. Wordlessly the tall man picked it up and handed it to the panicked student, who grabbed it quickly and ran from the table.

"He's usually on top of those things," Lavi murmured, watching his friend run to class. And it was on the other side of campus too. Even running, he'd still be a few minutes late.

"He's forgetful, sometimes," Tyki said. "It comes with his…issues." The man stopped talking as Lavi stared intently at him, curious and burning to learn more. But the way the tall man sat told him that he wouldn't get another word from him. "So, love, how are you today?" One long thumb caressed the top of his hand in a gentle, slow arch.

Lavi shrugged. "Fine," he hummed. "Bored."

Tyki chuckled and shifted so that he could face the redhead more easily. "I could make your life more interesting," he replied, but didn't move to untangle his fingers from Lavi's. Instead, he continued to draw small circles with his thumb on his hand. It felt nice. He leaned close and let his nose brush against Lavi's, and the redhead felt several dark locks tickle his cheek.

"No," Lavi replied with a playful glare. "We're on campus."

"I doubt that's stopped you in the past," Tyki said with a smirk but leaned away from his boyfriend in defeat. Lavi's ears burned, because it was true. It hadn't ever really stopped him before.

"Speaking of Halloween," said the redhead, scratching the side of his head absently. "Do you have plans?" He set his hand back onto the top of the picnic table and Tyki let his free hand rest close, fingers just brushing. Tyki could be ridiculously sweet sometimes, even if he was a sex-crazed maniac.

"Card Shark and Hime-cut usually throw a Halloween party at their apartment, I can't believe they haven't told you. I'm sure they'll be doing it this year as well," Tyki replied then eyed him with amusement when Lavi let out a loud bark of laughter.

"Have you ever called Kanda that to his face?" he wheezed, trying to imagine the dark haired man's reaction to such a nickname. He had never heard his boyfriend refer to Kanda like that either. "If you do, can I film it?"

"I have, yes," answered Tyki with a small smirk and a shake of his head. "Good times. Allen actually had to hold him back, he nearly jumped me. I think there are pictures on FaceBook." Lavi was sent into another fit of laughter at that image, which he loved by the way. He filed that away for later use if he ever needed it.

"But, Halloween party? Sounds fun. Do they invite a lot of people? Their apartment isn't very big."

"Big enough, they fit in a lot of people and go crazy with the decorations. Well, Allen does."

"Fuck yeah," Lavi affirmed. He stretched out and arched his back. It popped loudly and he let out a content sigh. "We should dress up together."

Tyki's eyebrow rose but he grinned and raised their intertwined fingers and kissed Lavi's hand. "Sure, love."

-o-

Lavi walked across the hall into his bedroom, towel wrapped around his waist and hair dripping down his back. He stretched and flopped down onto the bed, grabbing his phone from the nightstand. He didn't bother putting clothes on. Not yet, at least. And as he reached for his phone, his eyes were drawn to the drawer in the table. The drawer not completely closed since the last time he had rifled through it; the drawer where the two dildos and bottle of lube sat. They had rolled to the front when he shoved the drawer half-closed.

The redhead glanced around, then to his phone, then slowly pulled open the drawer to look at them. They were both made of an opaque, blue plastic or silicone, and gave some when he picked them up. He chewed at the inside of his lip absentmindedly as he thought, then grabbed his tablet. Going to Facebook, he scrolled down his feed until he found a post Tyki had made and went to his profile. He was sure he would be able to find something in the vast amount of pictures (because seriously, this man had way too many photographs) that would tickle his fancy.

Tyki had a surprising amount of photo albums. Lavi slowly scrolled down until his attention was caught by one labeled Cali Trip part 2: Beach Day 1. He rolled onto his side and opened the album, letting his eye flick through the photos. There were group photographs with people Lavi had never met. A young girl in a frilly, polka dotted swimsuit. Several more with her sitting on her towel in the shade, making faces at the camera. One where she looked like she was about to throw her ice cream cone at whoever held the camera. Lavi had a sneaking suspicion that it was Tyki.

He almost forgot why exactly he was looking through the photos until he came across one of Tyki stretched out on his towel. His feet were half buried in the gold-white sand, and his arm was thrown over his eyes. More than likely he hadn't even known the photograph had been taken until later. But it showed his entire chest, and the tantalizing, teasing trail of coarse hairs that started at his naval and disappeared under his ridiculous, black and purple butterfly swim trunks.

Lavi swallowed, feeling the first hints of interest down in his gut. He let his gaze roam across the smooth, dark tan chest of his boyfriend, then swiped to the side to the next photo. Suddenly his mouth was very dry, and he felt his cock twitch in excitement.

Tyki was standing knee deep in the ocean, looking out at the waves at someone Lavi couldn't see, and his wet swim trunks clung to his tight, perfect ass. "Lord," Lavi groaned softly, gazing at the small dimples at the base of Tyki's back, the smooth lines of his muscles, the curve of his ass. He was going to have to remember to grab it next time he saw him.

He reached down and pushed his towel away from his half hardened dick and took it in hand. Letting out a soft moan, he started to pump himself deliberately. Tapped the next button and his breath got caught in his throat, hand tightening on his now hard member.

His boyfriend was facing the camera this time, still in the water. And his dick was so obvious it should have been censored. Wet fabric clung tightly to Tyki's body, to his toned thighs and the outline of his cock. Allen was right. Tyki was well endowed, and it only turned Lavi on even more. He surprised himself with the thought, the curiosity, of just how it would feel to have that in his mouth.

He shifted on the bed, letting his body lie flat as he continued to stroke himself.

That was enough, more than enough, for Lavi's imagination, and he let his mind wander, creating scenarios where Tyki was wet and delicious and hard; where Lavi would be allowed, encouraged, to touch and stroke and taste. The redhead's back arched off the bed as he groaned, gripping his shaft more tightly. He kept his eyes closed as he groped around with his free hand for the smaller of the dildos and the lubricant. This was new. This was a little nerve wracking. But it was also hot, very hot. Lavi loved trying new things, even if he was scared.

So he let his dick rest against his stomach, hard and craving attention. Lavi opened his eyes just enough to see what he was doing and popped open the lube. Overly excited or overly nervous, he didn't know, but his hand shook and the lube came out of the bottle a lot faster than he had been expecting. It coated the dildo and his hand, running down his wrist to drip onto his stomach and chest. He didn't care in the slightest.

More lube was better, anyway.

Lavi reached down between his legs, transferring the dildo to his less lubed hand as he did so. Gripping his cock with his slick hand, he let his legs fall open and pressed the tapered tip of the dildo to his ass. His fingers stuttered over his hardened dick.

"Fuck," he panted out as a strong shudder ran through his body at the contact. He jumped away from it slightly then forced himself to lie still and slowly and deliberately relaxed his muscles. Lavi's hand slid over his dick easily in even motions. He took in a deep breath. And as he let it out, he slowly pushed the dildo in past the ring of twitching muscles.

He couldn't help it, Lavi's back arched off the bed at the sensation.

It was a little weird, a little uncomfortable, and a little pleasurable. He was glad for that extra lube, the silicone dildo slid in easier as he pushed in farther in. He could feel every inch of it inside him.

Lavi panted hard, letting his head fall back onto the bed. Hand still on his slightly softened dick, he gathered himself together once more. He peaked out behind his eyelashes and focused on the image still open on his tablet.

"Fuck," he said again, closing his eyes and let his mind wander again.

He allowed himself to imagine. Tyki's hands on him, in him. Lips pressed against his skin. Licking a salty droplet of water from the toned, tanned muscles.

Slowly he started to pump himself, tightening his grip. He pressed the dildo in a little further before pulling it out. He repeated the action, a moan breaking free from his lips as he did so. Letting himself relax even more, accepting the intrusion inside, it was starting to feel better. "Hah. God, yes."

Stroking his cock harder and faster now, he set a slower, more gentle pace with the dildo. He could feel it, the pleasure building up within him.

As he pushed the dildo back inside him, it brushed something that caused a strong shock of pleasure to travel up his spine. His toes curled against the blankets as he pressed against his prostate again, unable to believe just how it felt. It felt amazing.

Lavi's stomach was a tight mess of muscles, his mouth hung open as he remembered with difficulty to breath. It was building, he was definitely close. The jerks of his dick were fast and hard as he abused the sensitive skin, drawing himself closer to the edge. With shallow thrusts of the dildo he tried to hit his prostate each time. His accuracy was dropping quickly as he got closer and closer to losing himself.

"Oh fucking hell," Lavi moaned out loudly to the empty room. "Oh fuck!"

His back arched upwards, feet pressing hard into the bed and hips jerking upwards as he came hard. Ropes of thick cum splattered his body and coated his hand as he climaxed.

Finally Lavi collapsed back onto the bed, hands dropping onto the blankets. He panted, chest rising hard and fast. "Well fuck," he said as he stared up at the ceiling, eye only half focused. He hadn't cum that hard in years. Numbly he groped around and slowly pulled the still slick dildo from himself and dropped it onto the bed. He let out a soft sigh.

He looked down at himself. "I'm gonna need another shower," he muttered as he looked at the white splattering his stomach and chest, and the way his now softening cock and ass was slick with lubricant. His head flopped back onto the blankets. "But definitely worth it."
