CH6.1:Level Up! (PA)

Nagisa grabbed a package out of the mail slot. "For Kirishima Yuto, from Yamashita Kaoru,". He read the message that came along with the postage note. 'Happy Birthday, Kirishima-kun! I hope my incompetent son treats you well today!'. Nagisa felt his soul fly out of his body. "Ka-chan..."He muttered to himself. "Sometimes your words hurt me more than you think...". Nagisa lifted the package up and groaned. "This is pretty heavy. What did Ka-chan buy for him??". He brought the abnormally large package inside along with a few letters and a small box from Hitomi.

'My family really adores Yuto. They don't even know that we're together, except for Hitomi,' He thought to himself as he set the packages out on the coffee table. He had begun to worry about how to tell them that Yuto, who used to be his brother-in-law was now his lover.

He tried making up different scenarios in his head and figured out how to respond to them but they sounded super dumb that he just groaned to himself and discarded them. He heard Yuto yawning from his room and made his way there. "Good morning my birthday boy,"He wished him happily and pulled Yuto onto his lap. Yuto rubbed the sleep from his eyes before he put his arms around Nagi's neck. "Good morning Nagi,"He mumbled sleepily and felt himself get kissed on the head.

"Mmm...My Yuto-chin is officially 19 now. Well...internationally anyway. What should I do when you're so cute?"Nagisa cooed and pecked the boy on his neck over and over again. "Nagi, it tickles,"Yuto huffed but he propped himself up and hesitatingly pecked Nagisa on the lips. "I'm grateful to be able to celebrate my birthday with you, Nagi,". Nagisa chuckled and pinched his cheeks, pouting. "Come on, smile for me. It's your birthday! Its a special day!". Yuto looked away, his face flushed. "You...you want me to smile for you?"He asked and Nagisa cupped his cheek gently. "Please~ My Yuto is extra cute and handsome when he smiles at me,". Yuto hid his face in the man's chest but Nagisa ruffled his nose against Yuto's soft hair. "Please~~ Yuto~ For your stupid old dog~~"He pleaded and Yuto giggled a little when he said "stupid old dog".

"Hehe.."Came Yuto's soft voice and he looked up, his small smile plastered on his face. 'Please,' Nagisa thought as he held Yuto's small body close to him.

'I will show you and prove to you that I'm willing to do anything in the world to keep you by my side for as long as I live so please...'.

Yuto nuzzled into the warmth of Nagisa's chest and sighed in contentment. Nagisa kissed his head sweetly and wrapped his arms around the boy's waist. '..help me to help you realise how beautiful you look when you smile at me,'.

Nagisa cut the cake that he had baked for Yuto the other day. Yuto looked impressed with Nagisa's ability to bake something considering that he didn't even know how to make a decent cup of coffee for himself. "I'm touched that you wanted to bake this for me, Nagi,"He said as he handed Nagisa his cup of coffee and set down a glass of chocolate milk on the dining table.

"I'm not a mean baker but I wanted to make you happy,". Yuto shook his head and held up his finger that had the ring on it. "I'd be happy with anything you get for me. You really didn't have to, the ring was enough,".

Nagisa eyed the large package and the small on the coffee table box and huffed. "Yuto, you don't have a clue what kind of competition I'm up against...".

Yuto looked at the presents and shrugged. "And? I'd always love anything you give me,". Without realising, he sat himself down in the living room, Nagisa watching him as he tore the presents open like a child. He started with Hitomi's small box. Nagisa expected it a be some lousy trinket with a nice message but it was...a watch?!

Yuto slipped the watch out of its casing and showed it to Nagisa. "Your sister sent this to me,". Nagisa held it for him, and it looked expensive. Nagisa read the message on the inside. "Happy birthday Kirishima-kun! Please have a little something from me! Have a great day with my aniki! P.S: Aniki, don't take advantage of such an innocent boy. I know.....what you're..... like,".

Nagisa hung his head and Yuto looked at him, confused. "Hitomi..."The man muttered to himself and looked down to hide the embarrassment in his face.  Yuto picked up the hefty package next and opened it slowly. He pulled out two hoodies and a laptop. Wait...a laptop?!

Nagisa felt his soul drain from his body. 'What's with my family and trying to win Yuto's affection?' He groaned to himself and Yuto poked him. "I recognise what these are,"He began and then he held the hoodies up. "But what's this?". Nagisa pet his head and smiled. "This is a laptop Yuto. It's a computer but portable,". Yuto's eyes were wide open. "It's...portable?". Nagisa nodded and took out the charger that came with the laptop.

"You just have to charge it,". Yuto looked amazed. "Wow....That's kinda cool,". Nagisa looked at Yuto with his presents from his sister and mother. 'I'm not lying to myself when I said that my family adores Yuto-kun. They absolutely love him'. Yuto held up his presents, totally happy even though his face didn't show it.

"Nagi, could you thank your family for me?"He asked the man and cocked his head to the side. 'The worst part is that Yuto is completely clueless to how adorable he really is,'. Nagisa pecked him on the forehead and smiled. "Of course, my prince,".

Yuto kept his presents in his own room before he shouted something to Nagisa. "Nagi? May I go through your closet?". Nagisa was surprised at such a request but he allowed Yuto to open his closet. Yuto searched through his closet for a bit before he pulled out a hoodie. It was red with Nagisa's initial "N" stitched to the back. "May I wear this for today?"He asked Nagisa with twinkling eyes.

Nagisa smiled at him and pet his head. "Of course. You can have it actually. But why?"He asked Yuto as the boy slipped his boyfriend's hoodie on instead. "I don't want you to feel jealous of your family. I already said that I'd love anything from you, Nagi. But I think that the presents you gave me are truly the best,".

Nagisa tried to stop his face from blushing as he saw a very slim Yuto in his baggy hoodie. 'He seems to like it'.

Yuto felt Nagisa's smell swallow him up. He liked it, it was very calming to him. He sniffed the hoodie quietly, his face flushed. "If you like my smell so much, I'll wear all your hoodies periodically for you,"Nagisa chuckled and Yuto immediately beckoned him with a hug. "I would love that, Nagi".

The man smiled at him. He didn't know where to bring Yuto to celebrate his birthday, the boy had never been anywhere before and he was not the best socially. Yuto dragged Nagisa to the bed and got on top of him before he cuddled him, burying his nose in Nagisa's shirt.

"Calming~"He mumbled and Nagisa sighed as he smiled to himself. 'Yuto has probably never felt so at peace before. I'll just let him cuddle me until he's satisfied,'. He wrapped his arms around Yuto's body, feeling calm himself.

After a while, he decided that he should probably take Yuto shopping. After peeking into his room, it looked as barren as a wasteland. Then he remembered how both Kirishima siblings moved into his home.

Yuri had a bunch of junk with her that she took up almost the entire backseat and the trunk. But all Yuto had was one beat up suitcase that he had to carry because the wheels were broken. Nagisa remembered making a remark on how little Yuto had compared to his sister.

He remembered how Yuto's voice trembled as he replied to that remark. He held the scratched up suitcase meekly and looked down, embarrassed with himself.

"It's...It's really all that I have,".

He got up and looked around Yuto's room. He slept on a plain bedcover with an old pillow. The bright blue bear Nagisa had given him was tucked in the covers neatly.

His room didn't have any fun ornaments and decorations. His bookshelf only contained a few reference books. His desk was Nagisa's old desk and he used Nagisa's old computer to do his assignments. The wardrobe barely had anything in it.

Now that he realised it, Yuto's room looked more like a prison cell. There was barely any colour and it didn't look bright and fun. It looked drained of its colour and depressing, like the room owner himself. Nagisa sat on his bed and felt bad as he looked around the dim room quietly.

"How did he live like this for the past three years?". Nagisa shook his head and scolded himself.

'No, it's not his fault. It's mine. How did I ignore his wellbeing for three years when he was nothing but worried for mine? I'm such a selfish adult'.

Nagisa made up his mind to take Yuto on a shopping trip in town. Yuto was not really exposed to the idea of "shopping for yourself" so he was quite surprised when he woke up from his short nap to find himself in his boyfriend's car in front of the shopping mall.

"I'm here to buy you some new clothes and some decorations for your room,"Nagisa smiled as he held his hand and helped him out of the car. Yuto looked confused but he played with his rattail shyly. "Do I really need those? I'm sleeping in your room, Nagi,". Nagisa made Yuto look eye-to-eye with him and sighed.

"You barely have any clothes to wear and you're telling me that it's fine? The clothes that you're wearing are the ones my mother has been gifting to you right?". Yuto looked away and nodded before Nagisa let go of him and enveloped his hand to bring him to the clothing store. "I'm treating you since it's your special day."

They walked into a department store and tried to find something that would fit Yuto. But since his size was so small, the sales assistants scratched their heads. How could a nineteen year old boy be so small? One salesperson finally found some clothes for Yuto to try on but Yuto felt uncomfortable even though there was a dressing room.

So Nagisa followed him in and helped him try on the clothes. Yuto had never felt shyer. He was alone in a cramped room with Nagisa. "Yuto? Come on, take the hoodie off. You have to try on some clothes,"Nagisa chuckled as he shook him out of his trance gently. Yuto slowly stripped off his hoodie and Nagisa leaned into his ear, purring. "You don't have to act so shy around me, Yuto,".

He kissed Yuto, licking the corner of his mouth seductively when they were through. Yuto writhed and felt his knees buckle. He slumped into Nagisa's chest. "Nagi..we can't do this here.."He whined softly and the man smirked at him. Nagisa felt something press against his thigh looked down at Yuto's pants.

"Ara? You're turned on by kissing?"He asked Yuto who sat down on the stool, hiding his face in his hands. "Turned on??"He whispered and Nagisa bent down slowly. "Yeah, you're hard,". Yuto looked up and cocked his head to the side. "Hard?"He questioned and shut his eyes when Nagisa touched him down there. "Shit, I guess it can't be helped. We'll have to take care of it later,"Nagisa muttered to himself but he handed Yuto a hoodie to try on.

"Do you like it?"He asked and Yuto sniffed it. "It doesn't smell like you,". Nagisa groaned and tousled his hair playfully. "Of course it doesn't! But would you wear it?". Yuto shook his head. "It's a little tight around the waist,". And that was when Nagisa realised that Yuto probably didn't want to wear anything other than his old hoodies.

But he'll at least buy some pants, underwear and shirts for him. He huffed and stood up. "I'll get my brother to bring over all of my old hoodies from my family's house,". Yuto's eyes sparkled when he said that. "Would you really, Nagi?". Nagisa felt his face heating up again and tried to contain it as he rubbed the boy's head lovingly. "Of course, anything for you".

After they finished shopping, Nagisa drove them to a hotel instead. He felt like if he was going to treat Yuto, he should do it properly. They already had dinner before coming over so it should be fine. Yuto was asleep in his car. He carried Yuto to their room for the night. Yuto woke up to Nagisa laying him down on a pillowy white bed.

"N-Nagi.."He winced from the bright lights that were glaring at him. "Yuto, gomen. Should I dim the lights for you?"Nagisa asked as he stripped off his coat. The boy nodded and the room darkened to his liking. Nagisa kissed him on the lips, hugging him tightly on the bed. "Old dog..I can't breathe.."Yuto panted and tried to push him away but that was when Nagisa's lips curved into a smirk.

"Now, about earlier,"He began and got on top of the boy. "Hm? Dirty little bastard. Getting me all worked up in public,"He chuckled as he played with one of the boy's piercings and Yuto shot him a look of confusion. "Worked up?". Nagisa turned to look at his face and grinned. "You know..getting me in the mood. I'm turned on,".

Yuto's eyes widened and he couldn't bring himself to look at Nagisa in the eyes. "I-I didn't mean to, Nagi...". Nagisa just laughed and held him close. "It's not a bad thing, Yuto. It just makes me want you to excite me even more,". He felt up in between Yuto's legs. "Is it uncomfortable down here? Be honest with me,"He smirked and Yuto bit his sleeve hard, his head nodding slowly.

Nagisa cooed and loosened up Yuto's pants before he pulled them off. "There, there, you should feel a bit better now,". Yuto covered his face with both arms, trying not to tense his body up. "Do..whatever you please...Nagi,"He hesitated to say. His heart was beating like crazy. His face and body felt hot. 'Ha...these feelings are so confusing. I don't know why the places Nagi touched me are burning. Is it because of my love towards him? Or am I the one who wants to be touched even more?'.

Nagisa knew he had to hold back because it would have been Yuto's first time. Plus, Hitomi's "Don't take advantage of such an innocent boy. I know what you're like Aniki," kept haunting him whilst they were doing this and it annoyed the fuck out of him.

Nagisa swept his hair back and pulled Yuto onto his lap, kissing him on the head. "Do you want me to be gentle with you, birthday boy?"He asked and was given a nod in response. 'Ah well, it can't be helped,' Nagisa thought to himself as he made out with Yuto on the bed. 'It's what I signed up for when I began dating a boy younger than me. But I don't have a single regret,'.

Yuto pulled away from the kiss, his cheeks red and Nagisa's heart melted. 'Especially when I'm dating a boy as cute as him. What is there to regret?'. Nagisa bent down and looked in between Yuto's legs. "Yuto, could you open them a bit for me?"He asked in a gentle tone and Yuto complied. Nagisa looked up at his flustered face and smirked.

"I'd never be violent with you. I just want you to feel good, see?". Nagisa wrapped his hand around Yuto's length, making him squirm. "Nagi...where are you touching me.."He huffed and Nagisa groaned as he stroked Yuto. "If I don't touch you there, how am I to make you feel good?". He gave Yuto a smug expression and licked his lips. "Besides, seeing you in such a position, I can't help it,".

Red was all over Yuto's flustered face. He hid it with his arms, not wanting Nagisa to see him so flushed. After noticing that Yuto had his eyes practically sewn shut, Nagisa grinned and he lowered his head in between Yuto's legs. The boy couldn't argue with Nagisa. He had never done this with anyone before and was "stupidly innocent" as Nagisa usually referred to him as during times like this.

He opened his eyes slowly and felt suction in his lower region. "Nagi..."He moaned and he bucked his hips. Nagisa pulled him closer and picked up the pace. "Nagi~! What! Are you—"He gasped and the man looked up, smirked and continued. Yuto gripped the man's head as he panted and tried to muffle his voice by biting the sleeve of the hoodie he wore. 'What is this? Why is he—?? Nestled in between my legs? Perverted old dog!'.

Something felt like it was building up in between Yuto's legs. "N-Nagi, you should let go. It feels like I'm about to pee,". The man cocked his head to the side and chuckled. "Clearly, you've never done this before. It's rare for someone to pee when they're doing this,". Yuto shook his head and covered his face. "Don't talk with it in your mouth...T-This is so embarrassing,".

Nagisa looked up and smirked. 'Ah, so innocent. He's truly adorable,'. The man continued what he was doing before he started teasing Yuto again. "You know, you're supposed to release whatever's inside here every week,". Yuto shot up immediately with an audible gasp. "Every...week?". Nagisa nodded and pulled away from it with a kiss. "Well, that is if you want to live healthily. Every week,".

Unable to believe him, Yuto bit his own finger to silence himself. "No way...That's too much. You're making this up,". Nagisa giggled and used his free hand to grab Yuto's hands and hold them so that he couldn't cover his face anymore. "It's common knowledge, baby. Anyway, you should know better than to keep hiding your face. You don't have anything to be embarrassed about. I'm your boyfriend,".

The boy was eye to eye with his partner and he felt his face heat up even more in the moment. The eye contact between them prodded Nagisa to make out with Yuto and completely dominated his young partner. Eventually, Yuto bit his lip and shut his eyes, leaving his partner's hand a sticky mess.

His older partner looked at him and grinned. "For a first-timer, you get wet quite easily. Do you really find me that sexy?"Nagisa laughed as a plucked a few tissues from the tissue box on he bedside table to clean his hand and Yuto's lower half. The boy hit his chest and resumed hiding his face with his arms. "D-Don't say such dirty things to me..."He groaned and Nagisa arched an eyebrow.

"Does pillow talk make you aroused? You shouldn't resist the arousal,"He purred and looked down. "Look at you, are you sure you've never done this before? Your reactions were beautiful,". Yuto obediently looked down as well and buried his face in Nagisa's shoulder as he shook his head. "No, I swear that you're my first,". The man nodded and lifted up his hoodie before biting him on the neck repeatedly.

Deep bite marks were left on Yuto's neck. The boy grunted and writhed from each bite. "I'm your first and your only. Know that,"He smirked, licking at Yuto's neck. The boy nodded obediently, biting his lip as shivers ran down his spine. "So..possessive...". Nagisa smiled and pecked Yuto on the forehead.

"But of course! Which man in their right mind wouldn't be possessive over someone as lovely as you?". Yuto huffed and leaned into Nagisa's chest, his arms around the older man's body.

'This man, he just dominates every inch of me. It's hard to push away someone as gentle and eager as him. He makes me feel so loved that somehow I just want to sink into his arms and be protected instead of trying to survive on my own,'. Nagisa kissed Yuto's cheek sweetly. "Did your first blowjob feel good?".

"B-blowjob?".

"Whatever I did to you down there,".

Yuto couldn't help but want to hide his face even more from Nagisa except this time he noticed. The man grabbed his wrists and pinned him to the bed before he whispered in his pink ears. "Did it feel good, Yuto?". Yuto looked at Nagisa in the eye. You could see his blue eyes twinkling. 'He really wanted to please me. I can tell,'. Yuto nodded innocently and Nagisa pet his head. "There's a good boy. Do you want anymore?". Nagisa hugged Yuto's body and sighed in satisfaction. "Maybe another time Nagi,"He replied in a small voice.

Yuto looked down at his chest and felt around his neck, feeling sore. "Still, having to do that every week seems burdensome,"He huffed and was pulled onto Nagisa's lap. "I'll help you with it. We can do it together,". Yuto nodded in response and felt his bangs being pushed aside before a kiss was planted on his forehead.

"Happy birthday, my darling. Anything you want, I'll happily do it for you,".

_______________________________

When they returned home the next morning, Nagisa's little brother, Yukina, was waiting at the front door. "Good morning. Aniki, I've brought your hoodies,". He got a closer glimpse of Yuto's neck and shuddered. "Uwah-! Kirishima-san looks like he'd been mauled by a dog!"He exclaimed before he earned a hard smack on the back from his older brother. "Good morning, Yuki. That's enough from your loose mouth. Did you bring what I asked you to?". Yukina rolled his eyes and brought Nagisa's attention to a bright coloured cloth bag. "Here. I've brought your hoodies,".

Nagisa inspected the bag before he plucked it from Yukina's hands. "Thanks, Yuki. How long did you wait?". The boy looked at his brother and shrugged. "Not that long. Nee-san told me to pass something to you while I dropped by,". Nagisa looked intrigued but that expression faded into dread when Yukina handed him a whole box of condoms. "Oi! Yukina! Where the hell did you get these?!"Nagisa yelled and Yukina shouted back. "Ask Nee-san! She gave these to me! Look at the damn text she sent you!". Nagisa switched on his phone and saw the text from his sister that was sent yesterday night. "Aniki, I know it's Kirishima-kun's birthday but don't be too greedy. Don't take advantage of such an innocent boy. Yukina's dropping by to give you some condoms from me. Be nice to Kirishima-kun ;) ".

Nagisa could have died from embarrassment when Yukina read that. "Oh, Kirishima-san is Aniki's boyfriend?"Yukina asked his brother and Nagisa nodded hesitatingly before he pulled Yuto, who was being extremely quiet, close to him.

"Yeah, you've found out I guess-"

"I already knew it".

"What?!".

Yukina adjusted his own hair. "It's not that hard to notice anyway, Aniki. What person continues living with their brother-in-law after a divorce? Plus, Kirishima-san seems to be happier by your side,". Nagisa looked down at Yuto, who was nuzzled against his chest with a tiny smile and that made him smile to himself.

'Yuto. His name means "distant person". Yet when I think of it, there's nothing distant between him and I. It's hard to believe that the Yuto I want to be hold in my arms now, is the same Yuto I ignored for the past few years,'.

'I'm such a fool,'.
