Chapter XVII

The strong bright sunlight that was peering through the large window of the room touched Masato's eyelids waking him up. The blue haired teen rubbed his eyes before opening them completely to the intense light inside of the room. Once he opened them, he quickly felt a sharp pain in his heart when remembered what day it was. May 7, Sunday the day that one of Hijirikawa Masato's dreams would be realized. Perhaps the most important day of his whole life. The beginning of something would start in Masato's life, however it was also the end. The end of something that had started to be extremely important to him. Nevertheless, he didn't want to think about that. He didn't want to admit such a thing, so he fought against his own will and rose from his large bed heading to the bathroom inside his room ready to start his day in the most pleasant way. Once he took the hot and cozy shower, he dressed in black pants with a white shirt. He buttoned all the buttons up his neck, when suddenly something weird happened.

"Aah" Masato moaned when his fingertips touched his neck lightly. He had felt a strange sensation at that touch, however he didn't know why. Confused, the blue haired teen looked at the mirror in front of him, and seeing his reflection his dark blue eyes widened in shock.

"Ki-kiss mark? Why? When? How? I don't remember-" Suddenly the image of a certain blond appeared in his head and he blushed with embarrassment and anger shouting "JINGUJI!"

Inside of his room the blond was still sleeping peacefully as if nothing had happened, as if Masato's voice hadn't been loud enough. Seeing him so relaxed made Masato's anger increase more. How could the stupid blond sleep so well after what he had done? Why did he have do that? Masato had just gotten rid of Jinguji's last mark, and now he had earned a new one. He couldn't deny that he hadn't missed that kiss mark, because he had. Whenever he looked at it he remembered Jinguji's words and his deep and intense voice when he uttered them. You're mine he had said as if he was jealous, yet there was something else hidden behind those words and his actions that made the blue haired boy accept them with all his heart. Somehow he felt safe, that was why he had agreed 'belong' to the blond. Because he wanted to feel this way always. Nevertheless the mark disappeared and with it their new relationship also disappeared. It was as if that mark controlled everything that bonded them together. And now… Now he had to bear with it all over again. This new mark would connect them one more time, and Masato was afraid. Perhaps to Jinguji that mark was nothing, however to him that mark was something; maybe he wouldn't ever let the blond know it. Nevertheless he wanted an explanation.

"JINGUJI!" He shouted the blond's name again trying to wake him up. It was becoming impossible, he decided to attempt it one more time though. "Oye Jinguji wake up!" Nothing, the blond continued sleeping peacefully. "Y-You idiot… Are you joking with me? Wake up damn it!" He said shaking Jinguji harshly.

Finally, the blond had started to react "Hum what?" He asked half asleep.

"W-What? What you ask... You idiot what the hell is this? Who told you to do this? No, who told you that you could suck on my skin this way? Were you hungry or something? Do you think I'm what? Food? Tsk stupid idiot! Say something!" Masato asked angry and totally embarrassed.

Ren didn't move, his eyes remained closed however he was smiling in his head. He was enjoying hearing and knowing that Hijirikawa was so flustered because of him. Mostly he was satisfied because no matter how much the blue haired teen said he hated it, he had his kiss mark on his pale neck once again. Ren was starting to think that when this one disappeared he would make a new one, no matter how many times it disappeared, he would do it over and over again. Always.

"What are you talking about Hijirikawa?" He asked trying to convince him that he was still asleep, when in truth he had completely woken up and was only teasing him.

"HUH? Don't try to fool me, I know very well it was you who did this to my skin! Aren't you ashamed? Aren't you sorry?" Masato said, his voice louder and his face redder.

Finally the blond opened his light blue eyes slowly and looked at Hijirikawa. The blue haired boy had his mouth in a small pout, his face was deeply red up his ears and his dark blue eyes were looking at him intensely with anger and embarrassment. Mainly embarrassment, the blond knew that look very well. Furthermore the blue haired teen only pouted whenever he was truly ashamed. He had seen him pouting only once when he complimented him for doing a geometry exercise right. Ren felt a slight shiver run throughout his entire body with the surprising figure in front of him. He was definitely enjoying all this so much that he couldn't stop.

"Look Hijirikawa, I don't know what are you talking about. I want to sleep a little more, I can't believe you woke me up this early to talk about this nonsense." Ren said looking at him seriously, trying to disguise his enjoyment.

The blue haired teen clenched his fists and shouted one more time "Nonsense? Do you think that this is nonsense? I didn't have this kiss mark yesterday when I went to bed, so only you could have done it! Just admit it you jerk!"

The blond sat on the mattress and grabbing Hijirikawa's wrist pulled him close to himself saying while looking at his kiss mark "Mmm… This doesn't look like mine…" He touched it with two of his fingers softly and continued "Maybe it was your boyfriend, Takahashi right? You should talk with him Hijirikawa." He was trying with all his might control a big smirk that wanted to appear and spoil everything. Masato blushed even more trying to free his wrist and neck from Jinguji's hands.

"L-Let me go and stop playing dumb Jinguji! I know very well that this wasn't made by Keita, it was you! Why did you do this? And how without waking me up?" Masato asked.

"Okay, if you say so let me see if it's mine." The blond said grabbing Hijirikawa's wrist again.

"W-What are you doing?" Masato asked surprised.

"Well, I'm going to see if this kiss mark is mine or not." The blond said ready to lean his mouth to Hijirikawa's neck.

"W-What? Wait, stop you stupid! What the hell are you trying to do?" Masato asked flustered.

"I'm going to see if this kiss mark fits on my mouth." Ren said a small smirk curving his lips as his mouth got closer to Hijirikawa's neck.

"S-Stop!" Masato shouted moving away from the blond with one of his hands covering the kiss mark on his neck. Ren's smirk widened as he saw Hijirikawa's reaction. He even thought that right now the blue haired teen was really cute.

"What Hijirikawa, don't you want me to see if that mark is mine? I'm not sure anymore, maybe it is and I did it without being aware of it." Ren said smirking.

"Huh? How is that possible?" Masato asked annoyed.

"I don't know… Maybe I'm somnambulist." He said teasing the blue haired boy.

"Somnambulist? Somnambulist? You…" But before he could say anything else, a soft knock on the door interrupted him. "Y-Yes?" He said, his voice a little calmer than a few seconds ago. The door opened revealing Petra with a tray full of dishes and food.

"I brought your breakfast young master, Jinguji-sama." She said smiling gently.

"Petra you didn't have to." Masato said helping the old woman with the tray.

"And you two would have breakfast with your father? I don't think he would like to know that Jinguji-sama slept here at his house." She said still smiling.

Masato looked at the blond, who was frowning in confusion, and sighing said "You're right, thank you so much. I will take the tray back later." She responded with her gentle smile and left Masato's room.

"Oye why can't we have breakfast with your family?" Ren asked curious and confused.

"Because you came here without telling me, besides you're not the type of person that my father would like for his son's company." Masato explained putting the tray on his desk.

"The type? Which type? What do you mean?" Ren asked frowning more and more. Somehow he felt offended with Hijirikawa's words, however he didn't know why.

Masato looked at the blond and felt a strange twinge in his chest at his expression. Then, as if he wanted to relive him he said "Don't worry, you're just… Too free for my father's liking. Now let's eat, after breakfast my father will go to work and my mother will go to her friend's house as always. So I want to play the piano a little more."

Ren felt confused still, however he let it go once Hijirikawa talked about the piano. Thanks to his brilliant idea of sleeping at his house he could listen to the blue haired teen play the piano early in the morning. He loved Hijirikawa's playing style so much that he thought listening to something played by him was the most pleasant way of starting a day. Classical music wasn't something that he appreciated, nevertheless Hijirikawa had the ability to absorb all his mind, even his soul with his incredible musical notes echoing and vibrating inside of him; carrying him to another place totally unknown to him but a place where he felt comfortable. A place where only he and Hijirikawa existed. It was strange to him thinking and feeling like this about someone else, mainly Hijirikawa a man, yet somehow Hijirikawa's songs could bond them for a little while.

"Okay, let's eat then." Ren said smiling softly as he headed towards the tray ready to eat breakfast.

They were both at the piano's room inside Masato's house and the blue haired boy was already playing the two songs for the contest. He played 'The Maiden's Prayer' over and over again and the more he played, the better he got playing such amazing and pleasant song. A song that made Jinguji close his blue eyes and listen to it without feel tired of all the countless and different musical notes that create a perfect harmony inside him. Yet suddenly he stopped playing that amazing song, and instead began to play the one that made him show how fragile he could be when desperate. The first movement was the slowest and because of this, the most easy to play. The second was quicker, yet was also easy because Ren could see how Hijirikawa had incredible control in each one of the high and low notes. However, Ren was already feeling nervous and anxious for the third and hardest movement. A faster movement, full of high and irregular notes from the beginning until the end, but it was also the movement that burned inside Ren's heart. 'Moonlight Sonata's' third movement and 'The four Seasons, Summer' were the only songs that Ren had seen Hijirikawa play that made him feel such heat inside him. He believed this happened not because of the songs but because of Hijirikawa's figure frantically playing, as if the world could end at any moment. No matter how many times the blond saw him like that, that small fire inside him would grow and grow more unstoppable and uncontrollable. Because, even if he hated admit it Hijirikawa Masato playing the piano in such state of despair and passion was the most beautiful thing Ren's light blue eyes had seen in his entire life.

The blue haired teen played all Beethoven's irregular song and Petra called them for lunch. They went to the kitchen because whenever he was alone Masato preferred eat in Petra's company. And the blond also liked the old woman a lot, she was wise and concerned about her young master. Ren felt relieved knowing how loved by Petra Hijirikawa was, that way he knew she would protect him whenever he needed.

"Tsk why do I care so much?" He thought while eating his delicious lunch. Pizza, it seemed that Petra was crazy for pizza. Ren chuckled looking at her. "She's old but nobody said that old people couldn't love pizza right?"

The lunch was pleasant and once they finished, Petra smiled gently and winked to the blond who blushed slightly at the meaning of her action. The old woman wanted him to take her young master to the piano room one more time. And Hijirikawa also wanted that because he was looking everywhere and playing with his fingertips over and over again. Ren sighed and grabbed on his wrist pulling him out of the kitchen, heading for the special piano room. Why did Hijirikawa love to play the piano so much? He never played at school and if he was asked by someone if he could he would say yes but politely decline. Ren had begun to think that maybe his own piano was unique to him. In truth it was starting to be unique to him too, it was like strange magic. Hijirikawa's magic.

"As if…" He thought blushing.

"So, go play again and at 5 pm we will change clothes to head to the conservatory okay?" He asked and Masato only nodded. "You have to be there at 7 pm right?" He asked again and one more time the blue haired teen only nodded. "What? Why aren't you talking?" Ren asked grinning.

"I-I'm going to play again." Masato said covering his mouth with his hand slightly. Doing that, Ren was able to see his body trembling lightly.

Ren smiled warmly, he approached from behind Hijirikawa's body and grabbing his hand that was covering his mouth softly asked "Hijirikawa are you starting to feel nervous?" The blue haired teen looked up shocked at Ren and the blond continued "It's okay, don't worry you are okay. Today you will do it, you will be perfect. I think you're perfect already so don't feel so nervous. Don't forget that I will be right here with you."

Masato's body stopped trembling at Ren's reassuring words. He was so nervous, his heart was pounding inside his chest so hard and fast that he almost believed he could lose consciousness. Yet, the next second all his nervousness had disappeared as if it had never existed. It was all thanks to Jinguji's gentle and concerned voice. Jinguji was the only one who could calm him in his most stressful moments. It was true, Keita also could do it however it was different because the nervousness remained carved inside of him, but with Jinguji it disappeared. Completely.

"He is the only one." He thought moving away from the blond so he could hide his flushed expression. "T-Then I'm going to start playing." He said as he sat himself on the black bench of the piano and positioned his long slender fingers over the white and black keys of the piano. That position was what started Jinguji's heat inside of his heart, the rest was pure coincidence. At least that was what he wanted to believe. Somehow while seeing the white and black keys of the piano he thought that they were just like both of them. Completely opposites that bonded people's hearts like an unbreakable chain.

Now Ren opened his eye ! Of course Masanyan is the most beautiful thing ever! And he also feels a lot of things hohoho ^O^ poor Ren! (nope x3)
