Here’s chapter 6...Sorry if I get a little OOC with Ryuuichi here...but its hard to do a serious scene with Ryuuichi in it...lol...anyway, have fun guys ~.^

~CHAPTER 6~

Ryuuichi had lead Tatsuha back to his place after their meal together. The two were now on the couch, Tatsuha listening intently as Ryuuichi told him about how nervous he was Nittle Grasper’s first performance.

“It was so scary! There I was up in front of a room full of people! I nearly wet my pants!” Ryuuichi giggled, huggling Kumagoro closer. “But Touma tapped me on the shoulder and I snapped into action...I always have so much fun on stage...”

Ryuuichi’s eyes suddenly got serious, which startled Tatsuha. Ryuuichi had remained his genki self all day, and seeing him get serious was a drastic change of pace.

“When I’m singing...its the only time I feel I really connect to people...I have power over them. And for that moment, I can convince them to do what I want...I can...get them to love me...” Ryuuichi paused, looking down at Kumagoro. “That’s the main reason I do it...to be loved. Nothing else can give me that warm feeling...well...except one thing, but I’m not going to get into that right now...but...when the crowd cheers my name, chanting for me to go on...sings along with my lyrics...I feel truly alive, you know?” Ryuuichi smiled down at the stuffed bunny then turned his gaze back to Tatsuha. “Everyone wants to feel loved...ne?”

Tatsuha faintly blushed and nodded his head. “Y...yes...but...some are luckier than others...in that they do feel loved...” Tatsuha sighed, running his hand back through his hair. “I’ve never felt loved before...I’ve fallen in love, but usually my heart ends up breaking...” Tatsuha cast his gaze to the floor. If you’d told him earlier in the day that he’d be having a serious conversation about love with Sakuma Ryuuichi, he would have laughed in your face...it all felt surreal in a way.

“I know you’re loved, Tatsuha...” Ryuuichi said softly, tilting his chin up, at the same time sending chills down Tatsuha‘s spine. “So don’t feel down, eh? Who knows, maybe sooner or later your dreams will come true...ne?”

“Maybe...” Tatsuha whispered, closing his eyes for a moment. *If you only knew that my only dream is you...*

Ryuuichi got up, immediately turning genki again. “Want some more wine? I’ve got plenty to go around na no da!” Tatsuha nodded and leaned back against the couch. More wine did sound really good at the moment, and he wasn’t gonna pass it up.

Ryuuichi came bouncing back with the wine bottle, pouring some for the two of them. He even brought a smaller glass for Kumagoro, although how Kumagoro was going to drink the wine was beyond Tatsuha’s realm of thinking.

The two sat in silence for a moment, just enjoying the wine and each other’s company. It’d been a long time since Ryuuichi had had anyone outside of the music business to talk to and just hang out with...sure, he was great friends with everyone he worked with, but it was so refreshing just to be with someone without having to worry with them about songs or promotions or whatever. And besides...Ryuuichi knew Tatsuha was special. There was something about him that Ryuuichi loved more than anyone he’d ever come across, but what it was he couldn’t put his finger on. All Ryuuichi knew was what he was going to reveal to Tatsuha that evening...

Tatsuha finally broke the silence. “I hope my brother’s alright...I’ve been unsure about him ever since he got out of the hospital...he’s been a different person...” Tatsuha sighed and took another sip of his wine.

“Don’t worry about it...you’re here to relax, ne?” Ryuuichi said, smiling and huggling his friend. “So relax and have fun...Kumagoro and I won’t mind...”

Tatsuha smiled at Ryuuichi’s effort. “Thank you Ryuuichi...” It had taken Tatsuha quite some time to get over calling him ‘Sakuma-san’...Ryuuichi insisted that Tatsuha call him by his first name. Tatsuha was thrilled though that Ryuuichi wanted them to call each other on a more personal level....

“That’s why I’m here na no da!” Ryuuichi bounced a little in his seat, plopping Kumagoro on Tatsuha’s lap before standing up yet again. “I’m gonna run to the kitchen! Kumagoro wants to stay in here with you! Be right back!” Ryuuichi hopped into the kitchen, leaving Tatsuha to study the small plush bunny on his lap...

Tatsuha always adored how Ryuuichi took Kumagoro everywhere with him...it was so cute...then again, Tatsuha thought everything about Ryuuichi was the cutest it could be...

In the kitchen, Ryuuichi sighed, trying to figure out how to tell Tatsuha what he felt. He finally settled upon just leading into it...he just wanted so much to get this over with...Ryuuichi walked back out, casually taking off his jacket, and strolled back over by Tatsuha.

“Ne...Tatsuha...” Ryuuichi started, taking his seat next to the other boy and looking into his eyes. “Are you in love now?” Ryuuichi had lost his genki demeanor, and once again the singer was his serious self...the self that Tatsuha thought was absolutely irresistible.

Tatsuha swallowed and looked back over at the other man. “I...um...h...hai...I am...in love...” Tatsuha blushed, looking down at his hands. Ryuuichi noted this and smiled...maybe he did have a chance after all.

Tatsuha’s mind was running a mile a minute. Why would Ryuuichi ask him such a question...unless? No...he wouldn’t love him...would he? Tatsuha lost all thought when Ryuuichi reached a hand over to turn Tatsuha’s head up. Clear blue eyes looked back into his own eyes, something unreadable behind them.

“Tatsuha...can I tell you something?” Ryuuichi asked, moving a little closer to the younger boy, eyes still locked. Tatsuha dumbly nodded, transfixed by the look in those gorgeous eyes...and the warm body heat that was dangerously close to his own.

“There’s someone I love as well...” Ryuuichi spoke softly, voice coming out barely above a whisper. Just the sound of it sent shivers down Tatsuha’s spine, and he could only choke out one word...

“W...who?”

“You, silly...” Ryuuichi didn’t say anything further, because he chose then to close his lips firmly over Tatsuha’s. Tatsuha gasped in shock, and Ryuuichi deepened the kiss. Tatsuha began to respond, and the two soon were furiously working on each other’s mouths, neither leaving one inch of the other’s mouth unexplored.

The two broke away for a moment, cheeks flushed, breathing slightly increased, and stared into one another’s eyes. “Ne...Tatsuha...who is it that you love?” Ryuuichi breathed softly, licking Tatsuha’s lips lightly with the last word.

“...I...love...you...” Tatsuha said, watching as Ryuuichi’s smile grew even larger.

“Does that mean you and I can be koibitos?” Ryuuichi asked, pressing his body up against Tatsuha’s. Tatsuha breathed in sharply at the contact, letting out a light moan unconsciously.

“Y...yes...n...now please...” Tatsuha couldn’t form anymore coherent words as he pulled the singer on top of him.

“Come on...lets go in the bedroom...its more comfortable than on the couch...” Ryuuichi pulled Tatsuha into his bedroom with him, lowering him to the bed and crushing their lips together for another fierce kiss. Hands roamed over bodies, each exploring the shape of the other. Ryuuichi frowned...this clothing was going to have to be removed.

Lips still locked to Tatsuha’s, Ryuuichi unbuttoned the other’s shirt, each time running his fingers over the new expanse of smooth skin exposed. When he got the shirt fully unbuttoned, he stripped it off his new lover, his own shirt soon following in the process.

The two stripped down totally until they could feel skin pressed against warm, smooth skin. Their kiss grew in intensity, hands now learning every nook and crevice of the other’s body. Ryuuichi broke the kiss to study Tatsuha’s body, marveling at the beauty of his soft, velvet skin...his eyes swept over the other hungrily, a look in his eyes showing that he was about ready to pounce him.

Tatsuha took the moment also to study Ryuuichi’s sleek form, a form he had only ever dreamed about actually seeing for himself. *Its so much more beautiful than I imagined...* Tatsuha thought, smiling as Ryuuichi began to run his hands along his chest.

Tatsuha slightly protested as Ryuuichi momentarily disappeared, but Ryuuichi soon came back with a small tube in his hands. “Thought we might be needing this...”

Tatsuha nodded and spread his legs apart, an open invitation to his new lover to do whatever he wanted to him. Ryuuichi smiled and nodded, leaning down and lightly kissing Tatsuha’s tip before spreading the lube over his fingers.

Tatsuha was filled with passion and joy as he watched Ryuuichi...it was his first time with a man, true, but he knew enough to know how it was done. He closed his eyes slightly, waiting for Ryuuichi to start.

Ryuuichi entered a finger into Tatsuha slowly, so as to cause him minimal pain. Tatsuha hissed lightly at the feel, and soon Ryuuichi added another finger, moving them around to prepare Tatsuha for what was to come. When Ryuuichi felt it was time, he quickly withdrew his fingers, soon replacing them with his own member, slowly but surely pushing into the younger boy. Beneath him Tatsuha moaned, part in pain and part in pleasure, hands gripping the sheets as he got used to the feel of Ryuuichi inside him.

Ryuuichi stayed still for a moment, allowing Tatsuha time to adjust, even though the main thing on Ryuuichi’s mind at the moment was pounding Tatsuha into a frenzy. Tatsuha looked up at Ryuuichi, and he took that as a silent command to start. He moved slow at first, but he quickly and steadily gained speed as Tatsuha’s cries became more and more pleasure filled.

Ryuuichi moaned at Tatsuha’s tightness, the feeling was truly incredible...and Ryuuichi couldn’t recall ever feeling this way with another man before in his life. The two pumped in perfect rhythm, each moaning the other’s name as they each pushed closer and closer to release.

Tatsuha felt Ryuuichi strike a certain spot deep within him, a spot that sent stars flying through his vision and a loud moan to pass through his lips. “D...do that...again...” Tatsuha whispered, moaning more as Ryuuichi hit that spot over and over.

Ryuuichi soon grabbed on to Tatsuha, pumping him furiously in time with the pace that the two had set, and that was enough to send Tatsuha tumbling over the edge. His vision blacked out and he saw stars as he came, pouring himself over the stomachs of the pair.

As Ryuuichi felt Tatsuha clamp down around him, he himself came, spilling himself inside his new lover. The two collapsed to the bed, both spent, each panting and relishing in the remnants of their pleasure. They glanced at one another, gazing deep in to one another’s eyes as their breathing slowed to a normal pace.

“You’re so handsome, Tatsu-chan...” Ryuuichi said softly, running his fingers along the dark haired man’s cheek.

“And you’re so adorable...yet sexy at the same time...” Tatsuha replied, smiling and kissing each one of Ryuuichi’s fingers as they crossed his lips.

“I’ve never felt this way about anyone...and I’ve had my share of lovers...” Ryuuichi said softly, pulling Tatsuha closer into his embrace. “You’re something special, Tatsuha...”

“And I’ve never felt this way about anyone either...you’ve always been special to me Ryuuichi...and now that I know you...I love you even more...” Tatsuha smiled, softly kissing Ryuuichi as the two lay in one another’s arms.

Suddenly Ryuuichi’s mouth turned up into a wicked smile. “Up for another go?” He asked slyly, pushing closer to his new lover.

“Mmm...always...” Tatsuha replied, lightly nipping the skin of Ryuuichi’s neck.

“I’ll show you things you’ve never imagined...” Ryuuichi pinned Tatsuha to the bed, smiling sadistically as he leaned in for a fierce kiss.

This was the best night of Tatsuha’s life...and it was only getting better...
