Chapter XV

Masato was sitting on his large bed looking through the window of his room. Today was a pleasant day outside, the sun had an intense glow and he knew it was burning in the street. He could sense it on his soft pale skin through the dense glass of the large window. It was as if it was summer already. Yet in fact it was only May 6, and tomorrow it would be May 7; the most awaited day of his life. The day when he finally could free up the chains that had prevented him from realizing his dream a little. If so, why was his heart so tight? Why did it seem that inside his heart it was raining? An intense rain with strong and powerful gusts of wind and drops of rain that pounded inside him. It was frustrating feeling like that. Masato should have been happy. He wanted to feel happy, however no matter how much he tried to think about how his life would change tomorrow, nothing helped him forget about the tight pain in his heart. He tried to ignore it by clenching his dark blue eyes shut and burying his face in his knees, nevertheless it was even worse. With his eyes shut, the figure of a certain blond playboy appeared in his mind making his heart race so much that it became even more painful.

"I hate him... I hate him... I hate him… I hate him... I love h-" Masato's blue eyes widened in shock with the sudden realization of his own thoughts. His cheeks were slightly flushed and his heart was pounding, yet now what he felt inside him was a comfortable warmth. So comfortable that he was melting. Suddenly, a soft knock on the door of his room woke him up from his pleasant trance.

"Y-Yes?" He said, his voice trembling with nervousness. The dark brown door opened revealing a old woman with gentle honey eyes. "Petra… What?"

The old woman smiled gently and said "Takahashi-sama is here to talk to you." Saying that, she shifted her body allowing to the dark haired teen to enter in the room. "Then, I will leave you alone." Petra said closing the door.

"K-Keita? What are you doing here?" Masato asked surprised by the sudden visit.

The dark haired teen smiled warmly and asked teasingly "So, a friend can't come visit his best friend?"

The blue haired teen also smiled and said "Of course you can, you're also my best friend Keita. I really needed some company…" His last sentence was said in a low voice, so low, that Keita was unable to understand the real meaning of his words. "Come, sit here." Masato said patting the large bed beside him.

Keita walked towards the bed and sat next his best friend, his warm smile quickly disappeared and was replaced by a painful expression. The blue haired male felt worried looking at his friend. One minute he was alright and happy, but the next he was so… nervous. No, Masato didn't know if nervous was the right word to describe Keita's state at this moment, however he could say that his friend was hurt and worried by something.

"Masa-chan…" Keita said finally, his voice trembling. Masato was becoming even more worried. His friend had started to talk, but hadn't continued. Which was even more strange.

"Keita, are you alright?" The blue haired teen asked, his voice calm and he placed one of his hands gently on Keita's shoulder.

"Y-Yeah I… I… This is just…" Keita's voice held a slight tone of sadness and pain. His face was hidden between his hands. He was nervous, his heart was strongly pounding inside his chest. He wanted to tell Masato something extremely important, however he was terribly afraid.

"K-Keita do you need something? I can go and ask-"

"No… I… am okay Masa-chan." The dark haired teen finally faced his friend and smiled. Yet, this time his smile was forced and his silver eyes held a sad glow. Almost panic… Maybe. "I have to tell you something Masa-chan." He said his forced smile fading.

"Keita, you're scaring me. What is happening to you? A-Are you s-sick?" Masato asked extremely worried.

"No, no don't worry Masa-chan. I'm okay. What I have to tell you is something completely different and probably will change your life." The dark haired male said. Now his hands had begun to shake uncontrollably.

"W-What is… it?" Masato asked even more scared than before. He never had seen his friend act so strange and nervous before, this was the first time.

"Do… Do you know Masa… I… You… We are… We are…" It was impossible. Keita was feeling terribly afraid and nervous. He knew he had to tell him the truth, but what if Masato never forgave him? Or worse than that, what if Masato never forgave his father? Keita knew the truth of the relationship between his best friend and his father, however he needed to tell Masato everything. He was tired of lying to Masato. Besides, there was someone who was going to get hurt because of this lie. Somehow, and without knowing the real meaning of his own feelings Keita didn't want to hurt that person anymore. He was important.

"Keita, please tell me what's happening!" Masato practically shouted tired of waiting for his friend's words.

"Okay, but Masa promise me that you will not be mad at me… And even more important, promise me that you will forgive your father." Keita said convicted.

"W-What-"

"Please Masato." Keita begged him.

The blue haired teen remained quiet and immobile for a few long minutes. The only thing he was able to do was to look at his friend. Somehow he was studying Keita, he wanted to know how serious his piercing silver eyes were. Once he had seen what he needed, Masato sighed and said "Very well, I promise you Keita. Now please, tell me what is happening. I'm very worried and scared you know?"

The dark haired teen smiled softly trying to calm his friend, then said "It's okay Masa. This is something extremely important and delicate, but nobody is dying." He laughed nervously and grabbed Masato's hands gently resuming his important speech "I will not make you wait anymore Masa… We are cousins. You and I are family."

The blue haired teen was skeptical before the sudden announcement. What Keita had said didn't make sense at all. Since when? Why didn't he know? Who else knew about this? These and many more questions appeared inside his head like a fierce hurricane. However, none of the questions had answers.

"What… do you… mean by f-family?" He managed to ask.

"I always wanted to tell you Masa, but I was afraid. First because I always loved you, and second because I knew how rude your father was. This was very hard to me. We have known each other since our childhood, I think we both were five years old. We were always together. We played together, we cried together, we slept together… Our days were so beautiful and happy, that was when I realized I already loved you. Now that I think about that, I was an idiot always protecting you and beating all the other boys who wanted to steal you from me. Anyway, our parents were really happy with our relationship because usually cousins don't get along with one another, but one day everything changed. Our fathers were working on something together, however my father made a mistake and your father never forgave him. We were forced to separate, but I never gave up. I loved you so much that I promised myself I would grow up and protect you from everything. And here I am. Your father doesn't remember me, that's why I can come here. I changed a lot since when I was a kid. I was a crybaby and you were the one who dried my tears." Once Keita's explanation came to an end, he smiled one more time warmly trying to comfort his cousin who was totally speechless.

"Tell me something… My father, he was the one who made a mistake right Keita?" Masato asked hiding his expression by lowering his face.

Keita squeezed his hands and said almost whispering "Y-Yes, your father was the one who did it, but my father never blamed him. He still believes that one day he and your father will reconcile."

"In truth my father is the true culprit as always. Why did he have to do such a thing? Your father… Your father… I'm sure that right now all your family hates mine. Hates me…" Masato shouted angrily with a few tears shimmering in the corner of his blue eyes. His voice and body were shaking due to the incredible effort he was making to understand everything.

"Masato nobody hates you. I don't hate you, my father nor my mother don't hate you. Everybody loves you. I love you." Keita shouted embracing his cousins shaking body. "I will be here protecting you. Always… Always protecting you. No matter what happens, I am here."

At that moment, the blue haired teen was touched by Keita's words and his thick tears began to fall over his slightly flushed cheeks. There existed someone who loved him for what he was, that person was his own cousin and nobody else.

"Jinguji…" Masato whispered without even realizing it. Keita had heard him and asked "Masa-chan, do you love him?"

Masato's tears stopped and he asked confused "What?"

"Jinguji Ren, do you love him?" His cousin asked one more time releasing his body from the cozy embrace.

Masato deeply blushed once he heard and understood the question, then he asked stuttering "W-What… W-Why a-a-are you asking me that? Of course not, don't love him I love him."

Keita stood still looking at him for brief seconds, then he began to laugh nonstop and said "Masa-chan are you aware of what you said just now? Oh my God, you're so funny when you're all flustered." Suddenly his cousin stopped laughing and his expression was now a serious one. Then he said whispering "And I would like to know why I can't feel jealous like before…"

"Eh? Did you said something?" Masato asked still flushed.

Keita looked intensely at him and asked surprising him even more "Masa-chan, can I kiss you?"

"What?" Masato asked incredulous.

"I want to confirm something, but for that I need to kiss you... Can… I?" He asked nervously and slightly blushed.

For several long seconds, that almost seemed like hours, Masato remained quiet and looking into Keita's silver eyes. One more time the blue haired teen was studying his cousin and best friend. Nevertheless, this time one more person was inside his head. Jinguji was tormenting his mind once more, and with him a lot of questions started to shoot through Masato's mind.

"M-Masa-chan, it's okay you don't have to if you don't want to." Keita said smiling gently.

The blue haired teen looked away and said "I-It's okay, you… You can ki-ki-kiss me."

"Huh? B-But I want to… well you know… kiss you like before, with my t-tongue…" Keita said deeply blushing and making his cousin also blush.

"I… I get it already… Jeez, just do it." Masato said truly embarrassed.

Keita swallowed hard, took a deep breath and closed the distance between them saying "T-Then, I will… I will ki-kiss you Masa-chan." Hearing that, Masato closed his blue eyes tightly due to all the sudden nervousness that possessed his slender body. Right now he could already feel Keita's hot breath against his skin around his nose and lips. A few more seconds passed, and Keita's warm lips were connected with his. A small shiver ran through his spine when he felt his cousin's wet and hot tongue licking his lips asking for permission to enter and explore the inside of his shy mouth. Masato gave him permission by lightly opening his soft pink lips. Keita felt Masato's body shaking, so gently stroked his soft hair trying to calm him. Then when he felt his cousin's body more calm, he inserted his tongue inside his mouth gently and softly caressing Masato's warm and sweet tongue. The blue haired teen felt another shiver through his spine. His cheeks were a deep dark red, his heart was beating faster, however Keita's kiss didn't take his breath away like Jinguji's intense light blue eyes. Or Jinguji's deep gentle voice. Or Jinguji's warm touch. Why was that? He was kissing Keita, yet his mind was full of Jinguji. His heart was calling for Jinguji's. It was strange and incomprehensible to him. However, Keita wasn't much better. The dark haired teen's head was full of Cecil's image. He was kissing the person he always loved, nevertheless his heart was with Cecil's. He even could taste Cecil's flavor. How was that possible if he was kissing somebody else instead?

Both teens were completely desperate, so Keita stopped the kiss and smiling softly said "I'm so sorry Masa-chan."

The blue haired teen opened his dark blue eyes very slowly and asked "Why are you apologizing?" His cheeks still flushed due to their previous action.

"Because I-" Yet, before Keita could say what he wanted, the door of Masato's room opened suddenly revealing a very furious blond playboy.

Masato's eyes widened with shock and fear and he asked stuttering "J-Jin-guji… wh-what are y-you d-doing here?"

"I should be the one doing questions, Hijirikawa. What the hell do you think you're doing?" Jinguji asked harshly. He was so furious that he was even afraid of himself. He knew very well what Hijirikawa and the other idiot were doing, however he wanted to hear that from Hijirikawa's mouth.

Keita smirked at the furious expression of the blond and had an idea. He wanted to be sure of his own suspicions, after all he would always protect his cousin and best friend. And the blond was the most dangerous person in his life right now, however he was starting to think that perhaps Masato was also dangerous in the life of the playboy.

Without anymore waiting the dark haired teen embraced Masato's waist and closed their bodies' distance saying with a big smirk on his lips "We were doing exactly what you are thinking. You know right? I just can't resist Masa's soft and tempting pink lips. They are so addictive and appetizing. Even now, only looking at them makes me want to devour them one more time and to mark them as mine. Right, Masa-chan?" Keita looked at his cousin winking.

Masato blushed even more than when they were both kissing and stuttered "I… you… what… why… we…" He continued stuttering incomprehensible words, while the blond and Keita exchanged dark looks. His cousin still had a smirk on his lips. On the other hand, Jinguji was clenching his fistS and teeth tightly to control the immense urge to punching Keita's face right there and now.

Keita lowered his mouth to Masato's ear and whispered making sure that Jinguji heard what he said "Then, I have to go now Masa, but I hope we can continue our talk later." Saying that, Keita stood up from Masato's bed and walked towards the door. Once he was side by side with the blond, his smirk grew more and to provoke even more the playboy he licked his lips languidly.

"He is mine." Jinguji said, his voice low yet dominating.

"Oh… Then, I wish you luck Jinguji Ren." Keita said closing the dark brown door behind him.

Masato was still shocked and confused muttering countless words that nobody could understand. Ren looked intensely at him and his anger grew greater. He approached from behind Masato surprising him.

"So Hijirikawa," He began to say, but interrupted his own speech to lower his face to Masato's and continued "show me what you were doing with him exactly." Their eyes were deeply looking into each other's. Ren's nose was lightly touching Masato's. The blue haired teen flushed and moaned lightly once he felt Jinguji's breath against his. His heart was fiercely beating and had a comfortable cozy warmth. Totally different from Keita. Seeing his reaction, Ren's blue eyes widened and suddenly all his anger disappeared.

I really love when Ren is jealous *O* he is sooooo cute hehehe

Keita was meanie but I loved him ^3^ he belongs to Cecil and Cecil belongs to him *hum* xb
