Yuuichi felt seen when Kei was around, like all of the dark corners of his soul were being revealed. The two understood each other without words, paying each other special attention when the other was in the room.
Kei, for all of his strange teasing and obnoxious intellectualism, made Yuuichi feel normal.
His playful nature bounced right off of Yuuichi’s serious demeanor and it seemed to amuse him. For Yuuichi, it was nice to be accepted despite the additional scary aspects of his personality. Kei seemed to take the viciousness in stride and happily accepted his role at Yuuichi’s side.
In the past, Yuuichi’s friends had acted as anchors to his humanity. They were reminders for why he had to be good and personable. He wasn’t close to them on more than a surface level and that ruined everything for them.
Now, the people he considers himself close to are more like friends. They’ve seen the worst of him, gone against his cruelty, and stayed anyway. Yuuichi finds himself more honest and open with them because of this.
Tsukasa is determined to be nice to him, Satone gives him advice when he has problems, Tenji and Shiho forgave him for everything and started new relationships with him, and Kei tries to get Yuuichi into trouble. The kind of trouble where Shiho is pissed at him for trying to get off in a closet while she almost got shot. Fun trouble.
~~~~~~~~~
Shiho pulled Yuuichi aside from the group shortly after they arrived at a small, run-down diner in the middle of nowhere. Tenji couldn’t help himself from following after the two of them. If they were in trouble, he was too. Kei and Satone didn’t seem to mind the others running off and got themselves seated at a large booth in the middle of the diner.
As soon as Kei and Satone were seated, Shiho began ranting at Yuuichi.
“I can’t believe you’d do something so irresponsible. We’re all working hard to keep each other safe out here. It probably wasn’t your idea to start with knowing him. But he needs to know that the middle of a mission is not the time for…”, She trailed off.
“Sex?” Yuuichi guessed what she was trying to finish with, “You can say it out loud, you know. We aren’t children.”
“Wait, you had sex with someone during the mission?” Tenji had caught up with the conversation apparently.
“With Kei-”
“We didn’t have sex-”
“You were going to if I hadn’t shown up”
“We know better than to do that”
“Maybe you do! Does he?”
“Guys!” Shiho and Yuuchi went back and forth talking over each other until Tenji stepped in to mediate.
“Shiho, take a few minutes to cool down. If you try to talk to anyone while you are angry you won’t get anywhere.” Shiho shook her head in agreement and walked a short distance from the building. Still in sight, but far enough to be alone.
“Yuuichi, come over here and fill me in please” Yuuichi sighed but walked over to Tenji to tell him what had happened during the mission.
“When we got split up today, Kei and I hid in a closet. We definitely didn’t have sex, but we were messing around during the mission before Shiho ran into us and got everyone out of there.” Yuuichi explained.
“You know you shouldn’t have done that, right? That could’ve gotten us all into more trouble that we’d have to find our way out of. Shiho, Satone, or I could’ve gotten hurt worse because of both of your actions today.” Tenji explained, “Do what you want with whoever you want, I support you, but do it on your own time Yuuichi. Got it?”
“I trust you enough to know you won’t do it again, it was a stupid mistake and I guess even people like you can be dumb sometimes. Besides…” Tenji trailed off for a moment, seeming to struggle a bit for words, “They say that love makes people stupid don’t they?”
“I’m not in love with him, Tenji”, Yuuichi shot back defensively.
“Sure”, Tenji assured as Shiho walked back up to them. She looked noticeably calmed and a bit remorseful.
“I’m sorry, Shiho. What I did was really dumb and could’ve gotten you hurt. I understand why you got mad, it won’t happen again.”
“I forgive you, Yuuichi.” Shiho steeled herself before speaking up again, “I think I was more mad about the fact that it was Kei with you. I didn’t think you liked people in that way and then I found out you liked guys. I’m still a little sore over you not liking me, but now I know that was never going to happen and it just hurts a little.”
“Sorry, Shiho”, Yuuichi put his hand on Shiho’s head and gave her a pat.
“It’s okay, it was just a lot all at once. You’re still my best friend.” Shiho huffed before continuing, “We should get back inside before they worry.”
“Yeah, and I’m hungry” Yuuichi’s stomach began to growl.
The three friends walked inside the diner satisfied with each other.
~~~~~~~~~
“ Gasp Would you look at that, Satone? It seems group C has deemed us worthy of their presence again” Kei spoke sarcastically as the three others sat down in the booth. The Seriously, what took so long? Is everyone okay? went unspoken to everyone except Yuuichi.
“Maybe we just needed some time away from your bratty ass” Yuuichi seemed exhausted looking down at the menu. Everything is fine, everyone is okay, we just needed to talk about you.
“And here I thought you liked this bratty ass”, Kei teased. Talk about me? What about me?
As Yuuichi was about to reply, Satone slammed a palm on the table next to her half eaten pile of pancakes and the two stilled for a moment.
“Will you two stop it with the mental warfare?” Satone spoke tiredly, “Some of us are trying to eat”
“Yes, yes, as Satone wishes” Kei took a bite of his sandwich and shared a look with Yuuichi.
Later?
Later.
~~~~~~~~~
By the time they made it back to the hotel, Satone was slumped over Shiho’s shoulder, asleep. Tenji talked to the front desk worker of the motel and got each of them a key to their own room. They all said goodnight to each other and unlocked the doors to the rooms.
Yuuichi sat down on the creaky bed and let himself fall back. He was asleep the moment his head hit the bed.
~~~~~~~~~
It wasn’t long before he was awake again.
Footsteps resounded throughout the hall, someone was wondering their way down to his room. The walls were thin. He sighed, but didn’t bother getting up. He’d recognized those footsteps as they stopped at his locked door. This doorknob jiggled for a moment before there was a series of clicks as the shitty motel door locks popped off.
This place needed better security, he thought to himself. He used his right hand to unclip the multitool from his belt and flip out the knife. The door creaked open and then back closed again. The footsteps bounded up to his bed, he didn’t open his eyes. The bed creaked as the weight shifted, the person sneaking in was leaning over him. Yuuichi opened his eyes and pressed his blade to the throat of his assailant.
Kei Shinomiya.
“Threatening me with a knife after inviting me to your room late at night?” Kei whispered, looking down on Yuuichi, “Seems like bad etiquette, Yuuichi-senpai, I won’t want to come back next time.”
“You knew what you were getting into by coming here this late at night”, Yuuichi looked over at the alarm, blaring a bright red 2:34AM into the darkness of the room. He lowered his knife and flipped it back closed.
“Besides I don’t remember inviting you into my room”, Yuuichi fumbled around for the lightswitch on his lamp. Kei didn’t help, just sat on Yuuichi’s lap waiting. Yuuichi eventually found the switch and flicked it on, illuminating the corner of the room.
“You promised me later”, Kei looked over at the alarm clock, “It’s later now.”
“Which ‘promise’ are you trying to get me to uphold right now? I’m tired Kei”, Yuuichi yawned to emphasize his point.
“You said you’d tell me what you were all talking about outside? I wanted to talk about that”, Kei looked concerned.
“Fine, we can talk”, Yuuichi gave in quickly to get this over with, “Then you leave”
“If that’s what you want”, Kei spoke softly.
“Tenji and Shiho wanted to talk about my conduct during the mission, and about things that I definitely shouldn’t be doing during missions. Shiho and I had an argument, I apologized and we worked it out.”, Yuuichi explained as Kei started drawing shapes into Yuuichi’s shirt with his finger
.
“I should probably apologize to them too then”, Kei winced.
“It’s fine, Tenji just said to keep whatever we do to our own time”, Kei stopped his drawing and hopped off of Yuuichi. He walked over to the door.
“Where are you going?” Yuuichi asked, confused.
“To bed, we finished talking”, Kei left the room with a soft smile.
Something didn’t feel right about the interaction. Somehow, it didn’t feel like they were finished there. Kei looked upset when he had left, and for some reason that left Yuuichi feeling unsettled. That’s what Yuuichi thought as he turned off the light and tried to go back to sleep.
~~~~~~~~~
It was 4:15 AM and Yuuichi Katagiri couldn’t sleep.
Eventually, he found himself in front of Kei’s room. He wasn’t skilled enough to pick a lock, nor was he awake enough to try. Instead, he just knocked.
After a few moments of locks sliding around, the door cracked open. It was enough for Yuuichi to see a yawning Kei who had answered the door in a t-shirt and boxers.
“What is it, Yuuichi-senpai?” Kei still looked mostly awake for it being what time it was.
“Can I come in?” Yuuichi didn’t have a good reason, so he hoped that this would work.
“...Sure”, Kei said after a moment and opened the door a bit wider to let Yuuichi in before closing it and locking it behind him.
Yuuichi walked over and sat down on Kei’s bed, it didn’t creak like his own. The lights were on, he wasn’t sleeping either then. Kei walked over and sat next to him, not terribly close.
Yuuichi was having a hard time reading Kei, it was like he closed himself off from the older boy. Yuuichi slid over closer to Kei and put his hand over the other boy’s. Kei looked away from Yuuichi, and he used his free hand to cradle Kei’s face. Yuuichi leaned in and kissed Kei. Deeply and with feeling, hoping to express some of the tenderness he was experiencing. Yuuichi opened his eyes as he pulled back from the kiss and the shock on Kei’s face was evident.
When Yuuichi went back in to kiss him again, he was stopped by Kei’s hand.
“Didn’t we just talk about why this sort of thing was a bad idea?” Kei’s voice shook as he spoke, nervous.
“Are we on a mission right now?” He was thinking about how the others would react, I forgot how nice he could be when he’s not stirring up trouble.
“No?” Kei looked at Yuuichi like he was an idiot. Obviously not, is this going somewhere or are we just asking stupid questions now?
“Tenji said we can do whatever we want, as long as it’s in our free time.” They sat, heads huddled against each other.
“And you’re okay with this?” This was the first time he had heard uncertainty in the genius’s voice.
“I’m okay with this, I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t” Yuuichi raised his head to look into Kei’s eyes.
Slowly, the two came together into a kiss that started gentle before becoming more rough and feverish.
~~~~~~~~~
It was a few minutes before they stopped kissing and started grabbing at each other. Kei pushed Yuuichi back onto the bed and settled into his lap before kissing him again. Kei ran his hands up Yuuichi’s arms to his shoulders. Yuuichi put his hands on Kei’s shoulders and flipped their positions. Kei was lying under Yuuichi, surrounded by the older boy’s body. Yuuichi sat up on his knees over Kei for a moment, taking in the scene.
Kei’s wine red hair framed his face and fanned out onto the pillow below. He looked up at Yuuichi widely with his steadily darkening eyes. Seeing the other boy flushed and spread out beneath him sent a shiver down his spine. Haloed in the glow of the shitty motel lamps, the smaller boy’s chest sank and rose below him. Yuuichi’s heart was racing as he knelt above Kei, he looked beautiful.
Yuuichi slumped back over Kei to whisper to him, “Oh, God, the ways I want to ruin you”
“I want you to ruin me, I want you Yuuichi” Kei was giddy, anticipating whatever could be coming next.
Yuuichi looked down at him, awed for a moment. He helped Kei out of his t-shirt. Then he sat up again and unbuckled the belt of his jeans, taking the belt off and into his hands.
Yuuichi began binding Kei’s hands with the belt, “What should we use as a safeword?”
“Hmm, how about ‘Kuroki’?” Kei tested his range of motion after the belt was put on his wrists.
“Works for me”, He’d never be thinking about that guy in bed, “Too tight?”
“It’s not too tight”, Kei wriggled as Yuuichi took off his boxers.
Yuuichi took off his clothes, quickly but not rushing. This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve seen each other naked before. It’s just an entirely different context.
“Lube? Condoms?” Yuuichi asked, hoping that Kei had prepared where he hadn’t.
“Left side of my bag”, And there they were.
Yuuichi made his way back over to the bed. Kei looped his bound hands around Yuuichi’s neck and pulled him in to kiss. Yuuichi used his hands to rub up and down Kei’s thighs, never once touching his cock.
“Heeeey, stop teasing and touch me, Yuuichi”, Kei whined.
“Okay, beg.” Yuuichi began to look a bit wild around the eyes.
“What?” Kei questioned.
“You’re a smart boy, Kei, get with the program. You want me to do something for you, beg for it.” Yuuichi definitely had a domineering look about him now. Kei could work with that.
“Please touch me Yuuichi, I want to get off so bad, I need you to help me, please help me get off, I’ll do anything” If it made Yuuichi feel good to humiliate him and try to bring him down a peg, Kei would beg.
“Anything?” This was getting dangerous.
“Anything.” Kei agreed.
“Come here.” Yuuichi demanded. Kei slipped off of the bed and let Yuuichi guide him to a new position. Kei was on his knees in front of Yuuichi, hands bound and waiting for directions.
“Tap my thigh twice if you want to stop” Yuuichi had that softer look about him again.
“Okay”, The look was gone again. Yuuichi took a handful of Kei’s hair and yanked his head up. He probably should have hated the feeling. He didn’t.
“Anything?” Yuuichi echoed as he used his other hand to guide his cock to Kei’s lips.
As Kei opened his mouth to respond, Yuuichi filled his mouth. Yuuichi held Kei’s head by his hair and slowly built up a pace, fucking his face. Yuuichi didn’t stop as Kei gagged on his cock, spit running down his chin. He continued to thrust messily into the wet heat of Kei’s mouth, bucking his hips until the smaller boy almost choked.
Yuuichi pulled Kei’s hair forward and bottomed out in his mouth, so that Kei was deep throating him. He stood like that for a second, looking Kei in the eyes while choking him on his cock, before pulling out completely. Kei bent over coughing, trying to catch his breath.
~~~~~~~~~
Yuuichi gave him a minute before picking the younger boy up by his armpits and tossing him onto the bed. Kei bounced a bit before settling completely onto his back. Yuuichi stood between Kei’s legs off the bed. It wasn’t long before Kei was whining again.
“Now will you touch me?” Kei's voice was much hoarser than last time, he sounded wrecked. Perfect.
Yuuichi put lube on his palms and fingers.
“Yeah, you did good so I’ll keep my promise” Yuuichi kissed Kei’s sweaty forehead and spoke the words into his hairline. When Yuuichi finally ran a wet finger down Kei’s shaft, he thought he might weep. Kei was stiff as a rock after the heavy petting and mouth fucking. Yuuichi gripped Kei’s cock and began to slowly jerk him off.
Kei felt another wet finger circling his hole and moaned, Yuuichi teased the rim before plunging his finger fully in. Kei rocked back into Yuuichi as he was stimulated from both sides. Yuuichi licked into Kei’s mouth and they sloppily made out.
Yuuichi added another finger and curled his fingers up into Kei. Kei arched up into Yuuichi and cried out into the kiss. There it is.
Yuuichi’s fingers continued to delve deeper into Kei until he seemed loose enough for the main act. Yuuichi stepped away to roll a condom on and put lube on himself. Yuuichi lined up his cock with Kei’s hole and slowly pushed in.
Yuuichi inched forward with a few shallow thrusts, watching the smaller boy for any signs of discomfort. Kei held his bound hands against Yuuichi’s chest as he adjusted to the feeling of Yuuichi inside of him.
“Haa-ah” Kei breathed out a moan as Yuuichi shifted to hold Kei’s hands against the bed. Yuuichi started to thrust in and out of Kei, building up a pace once again.
“Fuck!” Kei gasps out, squeezing his eyes shut. Yuuichi had nailed Kei’s prostate again. Yuuichi continued pounding into Kei, quick and hard.
“I’m going to cum soon”, Kei could feel the pleasant tightness building in his stomach.
“Good, cum for me”, Yuuichi kept up his pace, grabbing Kei’s cock and jerking him off. It was only a few strokes before Kei came, shouting Yuuichi’s name.
Kei rode the pleasant high of his orgasm while Yuuichi continued to fuck him. Eventually the pleasant high faded into overstimulation as Yuuichi kept up, chasing his own orgasm. Everything felt a little too good.
Yuuichi’s thrusts sped up before his hips stuttered and he came with a groan.
~~~~~~~~~
Yuuichi took off the condom, tied it off, and threw it away into the trash can in the corner of the room. Then he returned to Kei who was laying on the bed. He untied the belt from Kei’s hands and winced a bit as he saw the marks it had left behind. Kei sat up, massaging his wrists for a moment.
“We should shower before we sleep, want to save water with me?” Kei gave Yuuichi a cheeky smile.
“Sure”, Yuuichi gave a gentle smile back. He felt the fondness of the interaction shining through him and his heart felt light.
Oh no.
