CHAPTER 136
"We're back!" Ryoma shouted as he slipped off his shoes and unclipped his hood. "We brought back the monkey king too." Kei tightened one of his hands in a fist, but managed to restrain himself for actually doing any physical harm to the cat.
"Hey, Ryoma. I'm sorry about..." Mizuki came out of the lounge into the hallway getting ready to give the cat an apology about freaking him out earlier, only to stop wide-eyed at the appearance of the Hyotei captain. "What are you doing here?" He asked slightly startled.
"Ore-Sama is spending the day with Syu and Ryoma. Is there a problem with that?" The St. Rudolph manager frowned as he looked at the three standing at the door.
"You called him Syu and him Ryoma. Are you familiar with them?" Keigo saw the smirk the tensai was wearing on his face. In fear that he would say something inappropriate, he answered before Syu got the chance.
"We're good friends and since an Atobe butler is the one cooking and cleaning the house where Syu lives I decided to live there as well." Scowling, Syu wrapped an arm around the others waist and pulled him in.
"We're also lovers." The tensai leaned his head in kissing the others cheek. "Isn't that right Kei." In a state of panic, the king pushed away making sure to get some distance between them.
"Funny." Kei looked back to Mizuki. "We're just friends." Syu gritted his teeth. Not pleased at Kei's words. 'Fine if you want it that way, we'll be friends.' The tensai thought bitterly. Without another word Syu lead Kei into the kitchen to introduce him to his mother before dragging him upstairs.
Ryoma as soon as he had gotten back had gone to Yumiko, knowing she would give him ponta and sat in the kitchen with Yoshiko watching as she washed up at the sink.
Syu watched as Kei rummaged though his wardrobe. "Ore-Sama doesn't understand why you don't wear half of the things in here." Mentally sighing, Syu grabbed Kei's elbow pulling him to sit next to him.
"Why are you against letting people know you're gay. You know if you show to people that you don't care what they think they'll just give you a glance before going back to what-ever they were doing before." Kei bit his bottom lip as he looked down to his lap in shame.
"It's different for me. I'm meant to take over the Atobe company and so on. I must have a good public appearance. To an Atobe what others think of you matters." Syu placed his hand on the other cheek guiding him to look up so they could stare into each others eyes.
"There has to be more to it than that. The regulars on Seigaku know, along with Hyotei regulars. Then there was dating Gen and Mitsu. If really cared what others thought about it you wouldn't have started a relationship with them in the first place. I think you want others to know, but there's someone you're afraid of." Keigo laughed through his nose and shook his head as he pulled Syu down to lay on the bed with him. Both laying side by side with their head on the pillow. Noses inches from touching the others and one of the kings hands resting on Syu's hip.
"I was eight and still living in England at the time. My father was visiting for a couple of weeks so I got to spend time with him. One night I had gotten up, I think it was a nightmare or something on the lines of that and I wondered downstairs. There in the lounge was Tomo and dad both curled up together on a sofa-bed watching some crappy romance movie and making out." Syu could feel his own mouth dropping open at what the other had just told him.
"What about your mother? Does she know?" Kei leaned forward even more closing his eyes as he breathed in.
"I think so. I mean, I've never seen my mother or father act like what I saw that night. Then I saw this ring that Tomo carries around his neck on a chain. I asked him about it once and he told me that it was a wedding ring. When I asked who he was married to all he did was smirk and tell me it was a man who could never seem to get rid of him no matter how hard he tried."
"So you think Keiichi and Tomo are married?" Syu asked as he watched the others lips change into a sad smile.
"Yeah. I just feel betrayed, but I understand their reason for it. My grandfather is against the idea of a man being with another man. So I can only guess that my mother was paid to pretend to marry him and I was born so my grandfather would leave father alone." Kei felt as a hand on his chest. Opening his eyes he met with blue ones that had the same look as Gen and Mitsu's eyes have for every time they look at him. It was ones that showed he really was more loved than he originally thought.
"You can't believe that's true. Though I've never really met your father, he must love you enough to know that if your grandfather is really as manipulating as he sounds. So he sent you and Tomo to England. If he didn't love you he would have never of sent his own husband if that is the case. He would have sent your mother. So maybe you're not meant to be her son, but you're meant to be Tomo's and Keiichi's and since when did you drop the Ore-Sama." Syu asked the last bit with a hint of amusement.
"I've decided to be more of myself in front of my lovers and it's only a side they'll see." There was a small pause between them as both of their breaths got heavier. "So what are the chances of someone interrupting?" Chuckling slightly Syu whispered.
"Don't spoil it." Closing the gap, Syu forced his tongue into Kei's mouth wanting to taste every inch. He rolled over so the king was on his back and he was on his knees above him. Chest to chest as the tensai's hands were on either side of the others head, letting the hair run in-between his fingers.
Keigo's hands were sliding up from Syu's hips and going under his shirt, feeling the smooth skin of the others back against his palms. Slowly, the tensai drew back from the kiss as a string of saliva being the only thing that connect their lips.
"Kei." Syu said softly as he tried to calm his heart and breathes down. "I really want to do more with you." He felt Kei's hands starting to move again. Feather light touches slowly making its way up Syu's back. Taking a hand out of the kings hair, Syu pulled his shirt over his head and slipped his free arm out of the sleeve.
Yumiko was about to knock on Syu's door to see if him and Keigo had made peace, but pause when she heard a moan. Holding in a sigh she went down the stairs into the kitchen.
"Hey Ryoma. Do you want to go shopping with me and mum? You can help us chose what we should have for dinner." Nodding happily Ryoma grabbed his shoes and clipping his hood on, happy that he had a distraction. Yumiko smiled, before looking over to her mother who had a questioning look on her face. "Oh, Syusuke and Atobe are sorting out their problems." Yoshiko not needing anymore information than that got her handbag and car keys.
"Right, we'll be back in an hour or so and Yuuta, Mizuki." She directed her attention to the two who were looking through a tennis magazine at the table. "I advise both of you not to go upstairs. It seems Syusuke is sorting out something." She left it at that as the three left the house.
As soon as Mizuki heard the front door shut he finally asked the question that was on his mind. "So what's up with those two? I mean you're brother seemed to be pissed with Atobe for some reason."
"What do you expect. Keigo denied being in a relationship with my brother. Of course he was be annoyed." Yuuta replied as he bit into an apple making a crunching sound as he did so. He couldn't handle the fact that if he didn't tell Mizuki most of it the other would keep asking until he'll eventually tell anyway.
"So they are dating? I thought Fuji and the Rikkaidai captain were an item? Did they break up? If they did that would be the news of the year. Nearly every school in the tennis tournaments knows that your genius brother and the captain of the Rikkaidai team are inseparable." Yuuta sighed.
"Their still together. Atobe is also with them." It was silent for a couple of seconds while Mizuki thought over the words spoken to him.
"So they're in a threesome?" Yuuta shrugged as he bit into his apple again so he could have a couple more seconds in thinking.
"Something like that. There is six... Well five and someone else who is only dating one of them at the moment, but the others are trying to get him as well." Mizuki leaning back in his chair trying to figure out who the other three were.
"Ryoma." He asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Is only dating one of them which isn't any of the three you know. Oh and one of them you've never met so you wouldn't know until you met them." The St. Rudolph manager started to rub his temple.
"Isn't Ryoma close to Tezuka? So the last one I won't know until I see him." Yuuta nodded and carried on eating the fruit in his hand while he watched the different expression Mizuki made. "How the hell did they decided to start this whole thing?"
"From what I was told it was my brother." The second year was met with silence. It had been about 30 seconds before Mizuki snorted.
"Figures it was your brother that started it. He's seems weird like that."
Both Syu and Kei were now shirtless. The tensai was laying on top of the other burying his face into the others neck, breathing in his smell.
"Syu, let make a bet." Kei said as he stared at the ceiling as he felt the other move, now feeling soft breathes in his ear, knowing Syu was interested he carried on. "If Ryoma really did what you said I get to top. If he didn't you top."
Syu pushed up on his arms and looked down wide-eyed. "Wait, so you're saying that we can..." The tensai's face broke out into a smile before leaning down and carrying on from their earlier make out session.
