Chapter XIII
"Why that face? Why is he so scared? Since I gave him the rules of the contest his face has paled. It looks like he is ready to die. Tsk, this idiot!" Ren thought. Even if he wouldn't admit it, he was truly worried with Masato.
"Oye Hijirikawa, what's up?" The blond asked.
"I… I can't enter this contest." Masato said with a terrified expression on his face.
"Huh? What the hell are you saying? Don't tell me… Is this because of your father? Just stop! Didn't I tell you…"
"It's not my father." The blue-haired teen said interrupting Jinguji who was confused. If the problem wasn't Hijirikawa's father, then what could it be?
"So, what is your fucking problem?" Ren asked raising his voice.
At Ren's question, Masato sighed in disappointment and said "I can't blame you, Jinguji. Look, before gave me the rules you've read them, right?"
"Yeah, so what?" Ren asked annoyed.
"You do know who Beethoven is right?" Hijirikawa asked innocently, however the blond was offended.
"Of course I know who Beethoven is, I'm not stupid!"
"I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention imply that. Look, I'm going to read and explain to you everything from the start. If you have some questions ask me in the end, okay?" The blue-haired teen asked and Ren only nodded.
"Mr. Hijirikawa Masato, welcome to our piano contest. After the pre-registration we provide you the rules of the contest where you will learn how the different presentations of this contest will be composed. Each participant is required to play two songs. On average, it will be between 20 to 30 minutes of music presentation. In the following list we have provided you the name of the two songs you are required to play.
1º - Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata (three movements)
2º - Tekla Badarzewska - Modlitwa Dziewicy (Maiden's Prayer)
Good luck."
After he finished reading Masato remained quiet. His face covered again with a terrified expression, as if he had read the rules for the first time. On the other hand, Ren was lost and confused by the expression on Hijirikawa's face.
"You know, you only read what I already read. Can you please explain what is your fucking problem?" The blond asked even more annoyed.
"I… Those songs…" Hijirikawa pressed the paper tightly on his hands. His body and voice were trembling and Ren realized he was nervous. However, before Jinguji could say anything the blue-haired teen rose from the chair and was ready to leave the library. The blond was able to stop him by grabbing his wrist tightly, without turning to face him Masato said "Let me go Jinguji."
"What the… Why are you so afraid? If it's not because of your father, then why?" Ren asked harshly. He waited and waited, but nothing came. Masato's behavior was making him more worried and that was something incomprehensible to Ren. If he hated Hijirikawa, then why that strange feeling inside of him? Jinguji only became self-conscious about his strange thoughts since the day he saw Masato's true smile in his house. After that, he was unable to stop his desire to make him smile. After his brief moment of self control, his rough touch became gentle as the tone of his voice softened.
"Please Hijirikawa, tell me." Ren said.
Masato's blue eyes widened hearing Ren's soft tone. He hadn't ever heard the blond talking in such way with anyone. Not even his fans. At this moment his voice was the same one he used in his home. It was pleasant and truthful. Somehow, Ren was able to calm his nervousness. Very slowly, the blue-haired boy turned around to face the blond. Seeing his expression, Masato's heart quickened. Ren's eyes were desperately begging for Masato to talk to him, and the blue-haired boy felt fragile before the strong emotions he saw reflected in them.
"Those songs are hard to play. The second one isn't so complicated, but the first one it's different. To play that song you have to be extremely focused. Not just that, Beethoven's notes are very invariable. You can be playing at a quick pace one moment, but suddenly you have to play at a very slow pace. It's so hard and... I've always had trouble playing it, and have never been able to play it without making a mistake. I just can't believe I will be able to do it now either. It's impossible." Hijirikawa said avoiding Ren's glance.
The blond felt furious at the other's words. Masato was giving up on himself and that was the worst someone could do. People always hurt themselves with their own attitude, and in this way they easily gave up their dreams. Jinguji was starting to think that maybe the blue-haired feared himself more than his father.
"That's just one more problem, you idiot!" Ren thought not stopping looking to Masato.
"Show me the real song, then play it for me and I'll tell you if you are or not good enough." Ren said determined to prove his friend wrong.
Usually, the blue-haired teen would reject such a demand, however Ren's glance was so strong, so intense he was forced to accept with a simple nod. He was embarrassed, confused, but mainly, he was shocked with his own reaction.
"Good. Then, let's go the music room is waiting for us." Ren said grinning. They grabbed their things and left the school library. When they were close to the music room, in front of them someone appeared that made Jinguji's blood boil in anger.
"Yô Masa-chan, where are you going?" Keita asked smiling gently, but his smile disappeared when he faced the tall blond.
"Takahashi-sama is young master's cousin." Ren remembered Petra's words and is anger grew more.
"They're both cousins, but Hijirikawa don't know about that. Why would that idiot want to keep this a secret? Only because he is in love with him? No, cousins can fall for each other… Then, why? Tsk why do I care so much about this?" Ren looked to Masato's white neck and saw the slight red mark he had given him. A big smirk appeared on his face and all his anger disappeared remembering Hijirikawa's own words from the other day "I belong to you." His hands that had been in his pockets quickly jumped out and two of his fingertips touched Hijirikawa's neck lightly over the red teeth marks. Masato shuddered in surprise and his widened blue eyes quickly looked at Ren's blue ones trying to find an answer for such an action. "You're mine, Hijirikawa." The blue-haired boy only could hear those words while looking into Jinguji's light blue eyes.
Keita was starting to feel angry with their behavior, mainly with Ren's. The blond knew how much he loved his childhood friend, so he must be doing that on purpose to provoke him. The dark-haired teen wanted to punch the arrogant expression right off his face.
"Masa-chan…" Keita tried to speak, but Masato avoided his look and presence.
"I have to go Keita. See you tomorrow."
"Wait, Masa-chan…" Even with his last attempt he couldn't catch Hijirikawa's attention. Lately his friend has passed so much time with Ren, which was confusing and unacceptable to him. If he remembered, Masato hated Ren because he was arrogant, full of himself and a playboy. The type of personality Hijirikawa had said he hated the most. However, they were getting along with each other and it seemed that the more time passed, the closer they became. How was that possible? Why did Keita have to see the person he loved the most getting closer to the one he hated above everything else? It was so painful.
"Cecil-kun, please I have to go with Syo-chan… Can you deliver papers to the teacher." Natsuki begged Cecil.
The brunette sighed in surrender at the blond's request. "It can't be helped right? Give me the papers, I'll deliver them."
"Cecil-kun…" Natsuki hugged the tanned teen with a big smile on his face. "Thank you so much! Here, sensei is waiting for them. Then, see you later or tomorrow."
"Yes, yes… Bye." Saying that, Cecil accepted a few papers and headed to the teacher's lounge.
He walked for down a few long corridors and finally arrived to his destination. After delivering everything, the brunette left the room and with one more sigh set himself in the direction to his house. He was tired. Maybe today he would skip the band's rehearsals. From one of his pants pockets he took out his cell phone and said to himself "Should I call Otoya and tell him?" He was walking without watching where he was going, when suddenly someone bumped into him making him fall.
"I'm sorry! Are you okay?" A deep and husky voice asked.
Cecil looked up and saw a captivating guy with dark hair and wide silver eyes. His arm was stretched out when the brunette realized, his hand was already grasping between the other's. The tanned teen felt his body uncontrollably shaking and his heart furiously pounding. Once he stood, looked into the dark haired teen's eyes and lost his balance falling again. He hadn't the strength, his body was weak.
"Oye are you okay?" The dark-haired teen asked clearly very worried. He never released Cecil's hand.
Without facing the other teen, the brunette asked "What is your name?" His voice was low, but the other could hear his question.
"Keita. Takahashi Keita. Wait, that's not important… Can you get up? If you can't I'll help. Take my other hand." Keita offered and Cecil quickly accepted standing up getting almost at Takahashi's level. Nevertheless, the dark-haired boy was a few centimeters taller than him. The tanned teen watched him closely for a few minutes. His eyes studied his face, starting at the piercing silver eyes, going to his little but perfect nose, finally reaching his thin and irresistible pink lips.
Cecil grabbed tightly to Keita's clothes trying not to lose his balance one more time. He supported his forehead on Keita's chest, hearing this way his heart's rhythm sounded. His body trembled more than before feeling Takahashi's warm and cozy temperature. He whispered over and over again Keita's name. As time was passing an incredible great will was possessing him. He wanted to taste Keita's lips. He wanted Keita only for himself. So, he looked the other teen in the eyes, his own half opened, and tugged his red tie down taking him by surprise with a kiss. Something soft and sweet, after all Cecil was tasting love at first sight for the first time. Through that gentle kiss, Cecil felt warm and static sensations throughout his body. Even the butterflies that everybody talks were there, flying around and around his stomach and whenever they beat their delicate wings sublimely, the brunette shuddered uncontrollably.
On the other hand, Keita was still and skeptic with Cecil's action. He never wanted to be kissed so suddenly by another. Much less another guy. The only guy he loved and expected to kiss was Hijirikawa. Nevertheless, he couldn't deny the warmth and the feelings he was receiving from the brunette's soft and delicate lips. It was strange but good. Almost addictive. No, definitely addictive. Tempting. Irresistible. Even so, can a slight touch be this good? Keita couldn't remember feeling this way when he kissed the person he loved the most. So, impulsively the dark-haired teen grasped Cecil's waist with his hands closing their bodies' distance. His closed mouth was opened letting his tongue lick the brunette's lips, trying to create a small opening in order to introduce his tongue inside that sinful mouth. Cecil lost again his balance falling once more, however this time Keita grabbed him tightly without stopping the sweet kiss. The tanned teen moaned lightly between Takahashi's lips, opening this way his mouth was allowing entrance to the other. Once Takahashi inserted his tongue inside Cecil's mouth he also began to lose balance. His body was fiercely shaking as his heart was beating. One of his hands had moved to Cecil's head pushing it harder against his own. Keita wanted desperately feel the brunette in every possible way. Inside their mouths, their warm and soft tongues danced subtly with each other, letting them taste and sense their sweet and tempting flavor.
Once the kiss stopped, both were breathless. Cecil smiled gently and almost whispering said "Aijima Cecil is my name, Keita." Saying that, the brunette bit Keita's earlobe causing a shiver to course over his body.
The dark-haired teen looked astonished at him asking "Why did you do this? You don't know me, then why?"
"Because I think I love you." Cecil answered with a bright smile on his face. He felt happy because Keita had provided him the most special feeling on the world. Takahashi Keita gave him love from the heart to the soul.
Ren is so cute when he's jealous *O* and Masa is so cute when he's embarrassed *w* *kyuuun*
And, did you liked Cecil's love at first sight? Now you can be able to understand why I create Keita ^w^ (I'm so intelligent xD)
PS:. I'm sorry Ai-chan, Masa and Ren didn't kiss. Yet ;3
