Chapter 12 - The Fire

Shoyo breathed in the smell of Dino plushie #2, as the original is in his house now. Kei's scent is still not yet embedded much. Shoyo went home with Kei after practice, they did some homework, and Kei tutored him a bit and now finishing up his homework while Shoyo waits. He is currently hugging the plushie while in a fetal position in the middle of Kei's bed.

Shoyo looked over to Kei. His eyes look down and up from the workbook then his notes in his right hand. He pushed his eyeglasses quickly up the bridge of his nose then resumed writing something.

Haaaah my handsome beanpole. My perfect seme. I admit I might have been making it hard for him. He tutors me a lot. He puts up with my personality because he loves me. He said he's not bothered but sometimes I think he is jealous of other people who make use of me as an energy charger. Maybe? Haaah I can't really tell.

And I tease him a lot. I admit I also make it hard for him literally. I know between the two of us, he is the only one doing that maxi... maxu... hmmm maximum tolerance. How many times has it been? He makes sure I finish every single time and he... well he does it on his own, not wanting any help from me.

He makes me a priority. Is it okay to always receive? He acts like a jerk but, he is literally an angel when we are alone. I love him so much, I want to show the world how wonderful of a person he is.

Kei tilted his head back and made a long sigh.

"Finally, I'm done." He stood up and walked over to the edge of the bed. He looked at Shoyo who seems to be in deep thought. He didn't even notice him standing beside him.

Suddenly, Kei jumped and put his full weight on his pumpkin. Shoyo was mercilessly crushed and he struggled to free himself from this sudden torture.

"Uwahhh, get off! Get off! Can't breathe uwaahhh!!!"

Kei chuckled and slid off. He pulled Shoyo's small body into an endearing hug, breathing in Shoyo's scent. He closed his eyes.

"I love you Sho."

"I love you too Kei."

"What are you spacing out for? Did I make you wait too long?"

"No. Not really. I was just thinking how wonderful a boyfriend you are... and your family my family... our best friends... they are wonderful. I'm lucky because everyone's wonderful."

"Is that all you have in your vocabulary?"

"You're mean." Shoyo pouted. His eyes watered a bit, his nose turned red.

And here I was thinking how wonderful you are...

In a minute, Kei heard little sobs and gasps for air. Shoyo ended up crying.

"What, you are crying? Sho, baby, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." He sat up and pulled Shoyo into his arms.

"I'm sorry Kei... I don't know why I'm suddenly sensitive."

"Hey, what's really bothering you?"

"Our relationship is perfect and I wanna shout it to the whole world. If only we could."

"We could you know. I am ready since the beginning."

"But... but..."

"Shoyo, this relationship is between the two of us. Sure, it would be nice for all the world to know. But you see, our relationship is for the two of us to grow and nurture. I'm okay with whatever you want. Or as we agreed on before, let time do it for us. What.e.ver.you.want. Seriously."

"You're right. I'm sorry Kei... for getting worked up for nothing."

"No. It's fine, just don't get worked up alone. I'm here. Always talk to me about your concerns, otherwise, I wouldn't know, or much worse, we get misunderstandings."

"Okay. I love you Kei."

"I love you too Sho."

Kei wiped what was left of Shoyo's outburst of emotion earlier. He pulled Shoyo for a wet kiss.

"Hmmmm yummy kiss hihi... You started this meaning we can do more?"

"Yes, we shall." And Kei kissed Shoyo deeper and pushed him into the bed so they can "do more" until dinner.
