CHAPTER 121

Mitsu had been waiting for 10 minutes outside the hotel they were meant to be staying at. His stomach was turning in strange ways as he stood against the building waiting. As he saw Gen appear he didn't know whether to feel relived that he wasn't stood up or scared that what they might do would really happen. The Rikkaidai student had explained that the regulars weren't listening as usual, so practice ended up running late.

"Want to get something to eat?" Looking at the other, Mitsu nodded as they entered the building they were standing in front of. As he felt Gen's hand brush against his in a comforting matter he could feel the butterflies in his stomach ease slightly. "Tomo said he dropped some spare clothes off and they should already be in the room." Mitsu knew he was trying to lighten the mood and in some way it help, but he couldn't stop having these thoughts that this was going to be extremely awkward.

They ate dinner in the restaurant in silence as Mitsu picked at his food. He was only really brought out of his train of thought when he felt a hand grab his. Following the hand he met with the dark eyes of Gen. "I'm fine." The Seigaku captain responded as he looked around the room trying to find something other than Gen to look at.

"Mitsu, we can go home if..."

"No, I'm just... you know." Hearing a chair scrape across the floor, Mitsu closed his eyes and rubbed his temple. Sure he knew they might go the whole way or they might not, but it was the thought that if they did he would be the one receiving.

"You keep spacing out." Kunimitsu felt Gen's breath in his ear. It took a few seconds for him to register that Gen was now behind him and leaning on his chair. He heard a chuckle as the vice-captain spoke again. "Are we heading to our room or are we going to stay here?" Mitsu tried to ignored the teasing tone in the others voice as his eyebrow twitch. He stood and looked to Gen before walking over to the door which lead back to the main reception desk. Just next to it was the elevator. Mitsu clicked the button and waited for the lift to open.

Hearing foot steps approach, he felt fingers entwine with his. "Gen, you ever have the feeling someone's watching?"

"You're just nervous, which is making you paranoid. No one knows we're here except Tomo and he probably has only just told the others where we are." With that they entered the lift and pressed the button for the top floor, which was a private area where only the Atobe's were allowed to go.

Jackal watched as Akaya and Bunta shared a newspaper between them to hide behind as the waited for the two to come out of the restaurant.

"Can you believe it? They're eating dinner. This must be a date." Marui whispered as he chewed on the piece of gum he had replace on the way in. They sat their for about half an hour before they saw Tezuka walking out and going over to the elevator. "Do you think it ended badly or something?" It was a second later they watch as Gen made his way over to where the other was and grabbed his hand. "Holy hell. Please tell me I'm not hallucinating. Is Sanada really gay? I would of guessed out of all of us he would of been the one to settle down with a sweet house wife and like fifty children."

"Fifty?" Akaya said with disbelief.

"Well, maybe I was exaggerating a bit." Marui scratched his cheek in guilt for the fact Kirihara believed it so easily.

"You shouldn't judge someone from their sexuality. He's still the same person, it's just that we now know more about him." Jackal finally spoke. "You seemed to except Yukimura when him and Fuji started to date so what difference does it make that it's Sanada?" Bunta and Akaya exchanged looks.

"But didn't Akaya say that Tezuka and Atobe were together? Does that mean he's cheating on both?" They watched as Jackal stood.

"Well, that's for them to sort out. Let's leave. You want to get to the sweet shop before it closes right."

As soon as the door to the hotel room they were staying in opened Mitsu let his eyes wonder the room. "Is this the kind of room that you stayed in with Kei?" The captain asked. Walking over to the bed he laid on it like a starfish feeling the soft fabrics under his skin. He felt the bed dip beside him as Gen sat on the edge. Mitsu stared at the others back.

"This is nicer than the other, but they were different hotels so it depends on opinion really." Gen looked behind him and smiled when he saw that Mitsu, despite now being in the room was actually pretty relaxed. Shifting, Gen turned his top half and lowered himself using his elbows to support him, leaning in he captured the others lips in a gentle manner so if Mitsu wanted to stop he could easily push Gen away.

Lifting a hand, Mitsu placed it on the back of Gen's head as he deepened the kiss. Feeling the bed move, he could only guess that the vice-captain was getting into a more comfortable position. As the kiss started to get more heated, Mitsu felt a hand on his cheek before he watch as the hand moved and removed his glasses. Pulling away, Gen placed them on the side table and looked back at Mitsu's face.

Syu and Kei were laying in the king size bed as they waited for Ryoma to finish his bath. Keigo had finally came round the fact that Tomo was in fact telling him the truth for once and was upset.

"I mean he could of at least put a camera in there so we could watch them. It so unfair." He folded his arms across his chest as he looked to the ceiling. "Ore-Sama had always wanted to see Mitsu submit to Gen."

"You know, Mitsu could be the one to dominate. He does hate letting others take over." Keigo sat up and looked at the other.

"Gen would let Mitsu be in charge, but that doesn't mean Gen will let Mitsu in him. Besides Gen's actually afraid to let someone in him like that." Syu opened his eyes as he heard the last sentence. He had just noticed that Kei had gotten pretty serious. As the bedroom door opened they looked over to see Sei and Ryoma enter.

Ryoma had a towel over his shoulders and held the front of it closed to hide his modesty. Climbing on the bed he sat down on Kei's lap. "Eh, brat. Don't you want to get changed first?"

"Can I have one of your shirts?" Rolling his eyes the king turned to Sei.

"Can you get a shirt from the bottom draw?" Nodding Sei grabbed the first shirt he saw and sat in front of Ryoma and Keigo. Pulling the towel off the cat and placing it besides him he watched in amusement as Keigo blushed. "Hey, could you of at least let him get off my lap before doing that?" The blunette smiled as he put the shirt on the boy's shoulders and let his slip his arms in before buttoning it up.

"So what was this about Gen being afraid?" Sei asked as he suddenly turned serious. Kei shivered as he looked into the others eyes. He knew he was going to have to tell now. He just hoped Gen wouldn't be upset.

"Did you know I wasn't Gen's first." Kei could see Sei's shoulders tense. "I found out when we started dating. He didn't want me to get the wrong idea and so he told me that he had done it with another guy before me." Sighing Kei looked down to the top of Ryoma's head and lifted a hand to run his fingers though the boy's hair, feeling one of his ears twitch as he slowly went near it. "I only found out the rest of it when I once tried to take over... Well, when I tried to top him. He had suddenly had this scared look in his eyes and before I knew it he had turned us over and was hold my hands down."

"But Gen and you were both 16 when you started to date. So why...?" Sei couldn't find the words to ask. Gen had told him the he was into men when he started dating Keigo, but if the other had done it before then that meant he must of know for a while.

"Gen was 14 at the time. Well... That's what he told me. He never told me the name of the other guy only that he was 18, but Gen had his eyes on this guy a while and eventually the other noticed. He asked Gen out despite not knowing him very well. The first two weeks it was the usual. Go on dates, make out, but then he started to pressure Gen into going further." Keigo felt weight on his chest and saw Ryoma playing with the edge of the shirt he was wearing. "Gen said that since it was his first relationship he guessed he wanted to keep it going so he gave in."

Taking in a shaky breath he carried on. Kei hated to think of this next part. It made sense that Gen kept up this strict persona. It was his own way of protecting himself. "The guy wasn't gentle. He didn't prepare properly and enter with a lot of force. From what Ore-Sama was told Gen had begged the other to stop, but he wouldn't listen. The next day when Gen had met up with him, the guy said that it was over between them and that it was never anything serious. He went on saying that he was never a dirty fag in the first place. After he told me that, he nearly broke down crying. It was the first time Ore-sama had ever seen him so vulnerable."

"It kind of makes sense now. Around that time I knew something was wrong with him. We didn't meet up as much for a short while, but I just thought that he would tell me if he wanted to." Syu pulled Sei into a one armed hug. Sei now felt guilty into not asking the other in the first place when he knew something had happened.

"Yeah, after he told me, Ore-Sama shouted at him. I told him that Ore-Sama was his first because what that guy did, didn't count." Kei let of a dry laugh. "Even now if Gen still won't completely believe it, I will if anyone found out tell them that I was the first to make love to him." Syu, Sei and Kei all looked to Ryoma when the boy decided to put in his input.

"So you were his first though, right? I mean that guy only had sex with him. Sure he took his virginity thing which I heard was very special, but you were that first one to show him that despite all that happened, you would still love him." Keigo's lips twitched into a small smile.

"You know brat. That's the smartest thing I think I've ever heard you said." He buried his face into the back of Ryoma's head and kiss it. "Come on let's go to bed." Kei pushed the covers to one side dragging the cat in with him.
