Chapter 2:

Reaching the den door, Shu stopped to watch Shin. He was laying on his right side on the sofa watching some type of cooking show on the television. The auburn-haired boy had his feet tucked up under him with a red blanket thrown across his waist, his hands folded under his head. Shu stepped carefully into the room, not sure if Shin was awake or not. Peering over the side of the couch, he saw that Shin's eyes were indeed closed. Sighing, Shu sat down in the chair beside the couch and began flipping channels. The soup sat in front of him, untouched. Finding nothing on the television worth watching, Shu clicked it off and began to study Shin's profile. It was rare that Shu could watch the auburn-haired young man without Shin somehow becoming aware of it, and this time would be no different.

Shin had heard Shu return to the den, but he was soo tired that he continued to feign being asleep. Except it was no use, not with Shu sitting so close. At first, Shin simply enjoyed his company, but he tensed when he heard the television click off. He knew then, that Shu was watching him. Opening his green eyes, he was not disappointed to see Shu trying to hastily divert his gaze. Smiling softly, Shin set up and glanced at the still steaming bowl of soup on the coffee table. "Is that for me?"

Shu nodded, unable to trust his voice. He hated it when Shin caught him staring like he had just done. Reaching for the bowl, his fingers brushed against Shin's, who was also reaching for the bowl. Shu jerked his hand away as though scalded.

Shin frowned. He wondered what could be bothering his best friend. "Shu?"

Shu merely shrugged as he handed the bowl to Shin. "Here, let me help you with this." Shu dipped the spoon into the bowl and slowly began to feed Shin the soup.

Shin was going to protest the action, but decided that he rather enjoyed it and so he let the other man feed him the warm liquid until the bowl was empty.

Shu got up to leave, when Shin reached out a hand to stop him. "Shu? Will you please tell me what's wrong? Have I done something that has upset you?"

His voice was soft, and yet Shu felt as if Shin had punched him in the gut. "Nani? No, of course you haven't done anything wrong. Whatever made you think that?" Shu sat down on the sofa next to the younger boy and gazed at him quizzically.

Shin played with the edges of the blanket before looking back up at Shu. "Well, I guess I thought you were upset, since you seemed to be so jumpy for some reason. Is it the Wyverns, then?" he asked quietly.

Shu sighed. "Shin, I really don't want to talk about this right now."

"Well then, what would you like to talk about?"

'You, of course' but Shu didn't say that. He didn't want to scare his best friend off. "Nothing Shin. Let's just relax here together, okay?"

Shin nodded, not one to kick a gift horse in the mouth. Shu was sitting on the very end of the sofa and so not caring about the consequences, Shin settled down on the couch. Pulling his feet back up under him, Shin placed his head in Shu's lap and began using him as an impromptu pillow.

Shu sucked in his breath, the second he realized Shin's intention. He surely wasn't but he was. 'Oh God. How am I going to do this without becoming aroused? I am in sooo much trouble' he thought to himself.

Shin knew what he was doing. He had decided that it was high time to create his bond with Shu, so that the Wyverns would be less likely to attack the two of them. He could feel Shu's tension, the moment he placed his head on Shu's lap. Smiling softly to himself, Shin was pleased with where this was going. Now all he needed to do, was to give Shu a little bit of prompting. Wiggling a little bit, he brought his head more fully in contact with Shu's rapidly hardening penis.

Shu let out a gasp as Shin unconsciously snuggled closer to the Kongo wearer. He was now very close to Shu's penis. Shu tried to shift away only to find himself more trapped by the water bearer than before. Shin had turned onto his side so that his face was even with the zipper on Shu's jeans. Shu struggled to breathe evenly. 'He's asleep, he's not even aware of what he is doing, but oh god . . . does he feel sooo good being in my arms.' Reaching down, Shu began to play with Shin's auburn locks, twirling the strands softly in his hands. Leaning forward, he went to place a small kiss on the spearsman's forehead but what he received was the shock of his life, as Shin's warm lips met his own.

Shin taking it as an invitation, slyly snaked an arm up around Shu's neck and kept their lips locked for as long as he could. He could tell that Shu was initially surprised but then, the Kongo wearer began to respond to the kiss with fervor. Their tongues warring for dominance with one another. Shin moaned in pure bliss as the kiss deepened.

Shin's moan was Shu's undoing. He was not sure what had gotten into the auburn-haired boy, but he was going to enjoy it. Picking Shin up, Shu slid underneath the slighter boy until Shin rested completely on top of him. Their lips never breaking.

Shin feeling Shu's hardness through his jeans, gasped when he realized that he was no longer on Shu's lap but was straddling him on the couch. Pulling away slightly, Shin grinned down at the stockier boy. "So, what exactly do you have in mind Shu? I mean, you have me in an awful provocative position." As if to emphasize his point, Shin rubbed against Shu's erection groaning softly, as he tossed his head back.

Shu growled up at the young man on top of him and with an impatient flick of his wrist, he had Shin pinned beneath him on the couch. "There, is that better?" His voice came out huskier than normal, heavy with need.

Shin simply grinned with impertinence. "Well, I don't know. I kinda liked the top." Shin began to run his hands under Shu's shirt and began pulling it over Shu's head before flinging it away. Reaching downward, Shin's progress was stopped when Shu crushed his slight form to his body. Another scalding kiss claimed his lips.

Shu groaned as he rubbed against Shin's stomach. "Love, don't you think you have way too many clothes on?" he whispered in Shin's right ear as he began to tug the pale blue shirt off of Shin. It soon landed on the floor with a soft thud, as Shu trailed hot kisses up Shin's chest. Reaching down, Shu slipped his fingers under Shin's waistband but stopped as he saw the slighter boy palm something from his jeans pocket. "Shin, what's that?"

Shin turned crimson in color. "It's nothing Shu."

"Aw come on, let me see?" Shu pouted.

Shin sighed. Well, he was going to find out sooner or later. I guess it might as well be sooner. Opening his palm, Shin let the object fall into Shu's hand.

Shu looked at the tiny bottle and then back at Shin. "Shin? You had this planned didn't you?"

Shin sighed as he sat up. The blanket puddling at his feet. "No, Shu. I was simply hoping is all."

Shu looked over at his best friend who had his head in his hands. Reaching out to his best friend, he gently pulled the unresisting body back into his embrace. "It's okay Shin. I was just surprised is all. I knew that I liked you, but I didn't think that you liked me. That's why seeing this surprised me."

Shin struggled to turn in Shu's embrace but Shu held him firm.

"I'm glad you brought this. Now I won't have to stop what I have been wanting to do to you for a very long time." For laying in Shu's hand was a bottle of lavender scented oil that Shin had taken from Seiji's room. Nibbling softly on Shin's ear, Shu splayed his left hand across Shin's flat stomach. His other hand placed the oil on the table just within reach, before beginning a downward journey to Shin's waistband.

Shin arched his back as Shu's fingers traced across his sensitive stomach. "Shu, we really shouldn't be doing this in here" he gasped.

"Hush it's okay. Ryo and Byakuen are outside, Seiji and Touma are still asleep and that only leaves Nasutei, and I'll bet you anything she knows what is going on in here. So don't worry about it."

Shin nodded as he felt a cool draft cross over his suddenly exposed penis. The coolness didn't last long though, as Shu cupped his hand around Shin's ultimate treasure. The sweatpants and boxers discarded in a heap.

Shu gently began to rub Shin's silky shaft up and down with his fingers. Shin moaned at the sensations that Shu was evoking.

Tossing his head to the side, Shin began to tremble in earnest. His climax was close, sooo close but this is not the way that he wanted it to happen. He wanted Shu buried inside him as he came, and he meant to have the other boy the way he wanted him. Twisting himself out of Shu's grasp with an effort, Shin turned around to face his best friend. Had Shu been paying attention, he would have seen the neon sign above Shin's head that read "watch out. You're in my territory now." But Shu either didn't see the sign or didn't care what it meant as he continued to kiss the quiet boy.

Shin mischievously reached down to cup Shu through his jeans. "Tut tut, my dear. What was it, you said earlier? Oh yes, something about me having too many clothes on. Well I believe, my dear Shu, that applies to you too." Without any other warning, Shin had Shu's jeans undone and was rapidly pulling them off of the other boy.

Shu let out a small gasp as the restraints of his jeans and underwear were removed.

Shin smiled appreciatively at Shu's size before straddling him. Leaning down, he whispered "I told you I like the top."

Shu groaned as he flipped Shin under him. "Shut up and kiss me Shin."

Shin happily obliged, but soon gasped when he felt a finger enter his body. Arching up, Shin began to thrust against the hand that was invading him. He could feel himself being spread as another finger entered his hot passageway. "Shu!!"

Shu laughed softly at Shin's passionate cry. Reaching for the oil, he poured some on his hands before coating his penis with the oil. Reaching down again he made sure to coat Shin's entrance with the oil. He did not want to hurt Shin any more than he had to. His eyes a stormy grey color, he glanced down into the swirling depths of the ocean. Placing his hands on Shin's hips, he asked softly "are you sure?"

The only response he got was Shin grabbing his wrist and flipping him down on the couch, so that Shin was once again on top. Shin took hold of Shu's member with his left hand and before he could change his mind or Shu could change their positions again, he impaled himself on Shu's golden staff. A single tear tracked over his cheek as he bit his lip against the pain. But the pain soon subsided, leaving only pleasure in its wake. Shin gave an experimental thrust downward, pulling himself slightly off of Shu before plunging down again. His face a myriad of emotions.

Shu's face was contorted with ecstacy. He had not expected Shin to do what he had done, but he loved it just the same. Pushing upward, he began to thrust in time with Shin's movements. Groaning, he reached around, once again taking Shin's member in his hand as he began pumping the smaller boy in time with his thrusts. White-hot lights exploded in front of Shu's closed eyes as he came deep inside of Shin's body.

Shin feeling the hot essence that was Shu spurt inside of him, could not control his own release any longer as he came all over Shu's hand. Still impaled on Shu's staff, Shin began to raise himself up when he felt a responding tingle. Shu was hardening again inside of Shin's warmth. Glancing down, Shin smiled inquisitively at Shu who only shrugged his shoulders.

"What can I say? I have been wanting you for a very long time Shin, and now that I have you, I don't ever want to let you go."
