Chapter Six: Feelings.
Akihiko.
"I don't think we have too, you were upset, and I was there, so you kissed me. There's no need to complicate things. I know it didn't mean anything." Akihiko was saddened that Misaki he could not understand the true intent behind that kiss.
Misaki looked like he was waiting for an answer, an answer to confirm what he was saying was correct. Akihiko didn't know how to tell him he was wrong, so he did the first thing he could think of. He kissed Misaki again.
Akihiko was gentle with the younger man. He held his face first, stroking his cheeks, he then leaned in and gave a very gentle kiss to Misaki's lips.
At first Misaki stayed very still, but just as Akihiko was expecting Misaki to pull away, he did the opposite and relaxed into the kiss. They both kept the kiss slow, but Akihiko deepened it by licking his lips and Misaki opened for him.
Akihiko felt that same feeling again, that feeling he couldn't describe. The kiss was just as perfect as it was the first time. No, better this time. The tension that had been building these past three days finally had somewhere to go.
As he pulled away from Misaki he caught the young man's bottom lip in his teeth and tugged gently before releasing him. Misaki breathed a shuddering breath and tilted his head into the man's hands.
"So, did that feel like it meant nothing?" He asked Misaki.
"No." Misaki replied quietly. "So, I guess we do need to talk about it."
"My thoughts exactly." Akihiko smiled at the young man's expression. "Does talking about this make you uncomfortable?" He asked.
"It's not so much that. It's more like, I'm out of my depth."
"What do you mean by that?" Akihiko asked, not quite understanding
Misaki tried to explain. "I'm not used to talking about my emotions, so I feel a little lost when I have to try and communicate what it is I'm feeling. Especially now, these feelings are all new and I don't know how to explain them."
Akihiko understood what Misaki was talking about, that unexplainable emotion that seemed to catch alight every time he was near Misaki. That need to be close to him, to touch him. It burned deep within him, and he wanted Misaki to feel it too. It seemed as though Misaki was already feeling it, he just didn't know how to go about expressing it. "I like you Misaki, I'm attracted to you. I think that is what I'm feeling towards you. How about you?"
"I like you." Misaki said clearly struggling with his words. "I like your voice, and your smell. I like the conversation we have and your reactions towards other people. I just don't know what that means."
"Do you like it when I touch you?" Akihiko asked, running his thumb over Misaki's cheek.
"Yes." The young man whispered.
"And did you like it when I kissed you, now and before?"
"Yes." Misaki replied, even quieter this time.
"Can I kiss you again?" Misaki nodded slightly, and Akihiko leaned in again.
Misaki.
Misaki held on to the man as they kissed, it was a toe-curling kiss. Slow and deep and passionate. As their tongues danced for dominance, the kiss became more frantic. Misaki felt himself being lifted off the chair and lowered onto the bed.
Akihiko was everywhere. His hands on his waist and neck, his lips against his, his body pushing him down and his legs intertwined with his. Misaki could smell and taste him, it was too much, he felt passionate fire burning within him. It was way too much and far too soon. Misaki began to slow the kiss down, not wanting to stop but having to slow down before they both did something they couldn't take back.
Akihiko pulled away from him, probably to look at his face. "What's wrong?" He asked, confusion in his voice.
"It's too much." Misaki panted. "We need to slow down for a bit." He felt the wait of Akihiko lift off him and he was helped into a sitting position. "Thanks." He said as he caught his breath.
"No problem, we can stop for now." Akihiko's out of breath voice reassured Misaki he was right to stop this now. "Was it too much?" Akihiko asked.
"Just a bit, I'm not used to this kind of thing." He replied. "Can we just talk for a while?"
"That's fine." Akihiko reassured. "So, emotions?"
"Ha." Misaki barked out a laugh. "My emotions are everywhere right now."
"Can you tell me about them?" Akihiko asked, his voice gentle and soft.
"Umm, confusion is probably the most dominant emotion at the moment, that and probably attraction." Misaki tried to explain.
"Why are you confused?"
"Well, only three days ago you were crying over losing Nii-Chan, and I thought that you kissed me because I was there, now you tell me that's not the case and I've got all these new emotions, ones I can't place and I don't know how to feel, so ya, it's confusing." Misaki explained.
"I can see how that would be a lot, do you mind if I explain?"
"Please do."
"That day at Takahiro's wedding, it wasn't sadness that made me cry."
"No, what was it then?" Misaki asked, even more confused than before.
"It was overwhelming. For me, that wedding meant I could close a chapter of my life. I was saying goodbye to something that I had clung to for years. But I wasn't upset. I was saying goodbye."
"So, what about Nii-Chan?"
"What I thought was love for Takahiro, was in fact kinship and familiarity. I only discovered this after meeting you." Akihiko's words both thrilled and terrified Misaki.
"So, you don't love Nii-Chan? Because of me?" Misaki didn't like were this was going. He knew that Akihiko cared deeply for his brother, and if that was not the case now because of him, that meant Akihiko loved him, didn't it. But that couldn't be true. Could it?
"Yes Misaki, because of you." Akihiko said simply.
"What if you're confusing your feelings again? I mean we've only known each other six weeks, maybe we should know more about each other before we decide on anything." Misaki was a little panicked when he said this, not knowing how Akihiko would react.
"So, you're willing to explore this with me, just slowly?" Akihiko asked carefully.
"Yes, I think we should get to know each other better and see were things go from there."
"I'm happy to do that. But in the meantime, can I still kiss you every now and then?" Akihiko's question made Misaki smile.
"Oh, I suppose." He said with a laugh in his voice. "I can put up with that."
That afternoon the two talked for hours, Misaki opened up about feeling trapped and wanting to be independent, while Akihiko talked about his upbringing and his parents who lacked any kind of emotional attachment towards their children.
They worked together to put braille stickers on the microwave and Misaki was taught how to use it. After that they went a bit braille mad and labelled everything. By the time they where done it was getting so they ordered take-out, again, and continued sharing their lives with each other. Both of them hoping for the best.
Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Pls leave a comment telling me what you think. I really wanna know.
