Spring Candy Kiss
Part Two: Experimenting with Honey

AN: Hello, and welcome to the second part of this fanfic series. Thanks for the reviews, all from the Fruits Basket Haven ML, Media Miner and Adult FF.net. To the response to that one particular review, yes, English is my native language and surprised that you said that it was awfully written. Well, you do have to consider that this story is a miniseries (probably ending within four parts, it depends), meaning that it won't much substance as a continuation story. Besides, I checked the story and realized a small few of grammar mistakes, but overall, the grammar and word usage were correctly used. Also to note, that chapter has been written in a few hours as a warm-up for my final paper for my writing class (which I had a B on it, thank god, the writing courses of my college are said to be one of the most rigorous and taking the same course for a third time would've been a enormous blow to my pride). However, a beta reader sounds like a fine idea. I do need someone to check over the grammar and spelling in my stories since I can't catch all of my mistakes by myself. If any one wants to be a beta reader, my e-mail is Sachuran01@aol.com and we'll discuss it.
In response to the strawberry jam used as lubricant. I know it's BAD to use it, or any food for that matter… But come on! It was a dream, if you didn't figure it out by now, and we know that dreams are tricky little fellas. Plus, it didn't help that I thought a lot about strawberry jam that week (it's my second fave jam, behind kiwi jam). In addition to the last chapter, I'm a girl and I have only secondhand references of gay sex (I basically got all the advice about how gay sex is administered from a help guide that used to be on FF.net before the NC-17 ban, written by a gay guy. Damn, I wish that I could find it again. FYI: Saliva and water are bad lubricants too, yet many YAOI fics use saliva as lubricant.)
And sorry for the long wait for the next chapter, enjoy.

Hatori's POV

I really can't believe that I'm even considering asking Shigure for help… but he IS my last resort. It's been a week since that dream. In that short time, my relationship with Momiji had become strained, which I can say that was considered a euphemism at this point. I know that I'm distancing myself from him so he won't notice those carnal desires within me isn't the ideal way of going about it, but it's the best I could do now until I could decided on what to do next. But now, he's starting to get real upset and insecure about this state of affairs in our relationship. Just yesterday, he questioned me that if we're on the verge of breaking up, and that was the last straw. So, here I am, driving to Shigure's house, desperate to make everything relatively normal again between Momiji and I. Shigure may act foolish at times, but he's also experienced at relationships. Even though he's very closely associated with Akito, he's the only person I could somewhat confide in.
I parked the car at the entrance of the small forest. I walked though the forest, admiring the view. A house in the middle of a small forest was just like Shigure. Shigure always had appreciated serene environments, even though he's a rambunctious person. I walked through the gate surrounding the house and stopped at the front door to ring the doorbell.
"Oh… Gure-kun… Harder, please!"
Hn. It seemed like Ayame is here too. I walked around the house and saw the two on the veranda at the back of the house. Ayame's pants barely hanged on the side of the veranda, and his briefs were tossed on the grassy ground. I turned to see the two, obviously too engrossed in their sexual act to notice that I standing right in front of them in the yard. Ayame lifted himself, lightly arching his back, letting his long shirt expose more of his chest. Shigure grabbed Ayame's hips as he thrust again. I watched this for several more minutes until Ayame started to get impatient and rode on Shigure's cock frantically. Shigure started to stroke Ayame as other man finally came all over Shigure's chest. Shigure thrust into Ayame a couple of more times before he climaxed. Ayame lifted himself off of Shigure and lay right against the shoji while Shigure discarded the filled condom into a wastebasket (which I presume that Shigure had put them there for convenience) and pulled out a disposable towel to clean himself. It's surprising how I wasn't aroused enough to sport an erection, but that's the least of my worries in my mind now.
"Aaya… why do we have to wear these things? You know that it reduces the feeling…."
"Sorry, Gure-kun, but you know that we have to wait until those HIV tests come back."
Shigure closed his kimono and re-wrap his obi (1). "It's your fault, Aaya... Why did you go to that orgy party in the first place?"
"Hey, it was a respectable party between people in the fashion business before the champagne started flowing. I didn't expect things to get so rowdy and I certainly didn't want to be left out."
"At least, you should've called me over! Right, Ha-san?"
I blinked, surprised that they're acknowledging my presence for the first time.
"Oh, sorry, Tori-san! If you came earlier, you know that we would've included you into our little playtime!"
I glared at Ayame. "No thank you, I'm with someone now."
Ayame pouted. "Oh, Tori-san, don't be that way! The last time we had a threesome together was a little while before you met Kana. Gods know how long since you last had sex, because I didn't think you even touch Kana that way during the whole relationship."
"So? Sorry for believing that a woman should be married before sex."
"Ah, I didn't know that Ha-san believed such a double standard!"
I turned my glare to Shigure. "I was celibate during the relationship."
"Just like our Ha-san. So anyway, why are you here?"
I clenched my jaw. Should I really do this? As much as I knew how much Shigure cares for us as his cousins… it still left me with an uneasy feeling. However, the memory of Momiji's face with his eyes watering with sadness from yesterday, and the reminder how my current behavior towards him was hurting the both of us propelled me on. I inhaled and exhaled, hoping some of the mixed shame and embarrassment inside would dissipate.
"I need some advice."
"Huh?" Ayame and Shigure said, with disbelief on their faces.
Even though I didn't voice it, but I felt slightly annoyed with the both of them. Of course, Shigure given me advice before but I never asked for it directly. It's already hard enough with Ayame there too. I sighed.
"Yes, I need some advice."
Shigure scratched his head. "Wow, Ha-san, you never directly me asked before. So it must be serious then?"
Shigure smiled as stood up. "Well, well, we might as well discuss this inside over a kettle of tea, right? Come in, Ha-san!"
I walked up into the veranda and pulled my shoes off. Ayame lifted himself from the shoji door and bend over to get his discarded briefs.
"Oh dear, I think we're been a little too hasty in our playing, Gure-san. Now I have dirty underwear."
Shigure did a funny flicker of his hand with a broad smile on his face. "I'm definitely not fucking you often if you're wearing any, Aaya!"
I rolled my eyes as Ayame laughed out loud. "Ooo, Gure-san! You can be so downright crude at times!"
Ayame just button up his long shirt and draped his pants over his shoulder. "Well, I'm going off to the baths. Unlike Gure-san, I do not like to smell like sweaty sex all day. So have your little chit-chat while I'm gone."
Ayame bowed as he left for the bathroom, I slightly shook my head at my friends' antics. Shigure just smiled as he walked in the living room to the table where there was a kettle of tea with two teacups on the table, filled with tea.
"Don't worry, Ha-san, we didn't get any chance to drink any tea so it's okay to drink that cup."
I lifted the small teacup and watch the small twig floating on the surface of the tea. I lifted an eyebrow. "Oh really?'
"Well, we haven't seen each other for a few weeks and catching Kyou and Yuki doing the act didn't help matters any either."
I looked at him with a hint of disbelief that has probably evident on my face. "Excuse me?"
"Yup, I guess that they at that point of their relationship now. Remember that Tohru's spending a couple of weeks with her grandfather? Well, it seems that the cat and the mouse had a little secret relationship under wraps. Man, even I didn't see that coming until I kinda interrupted an intimate moment the other day. They looked so hot in that moment of passion, that they did. Of course, they got so embarrassed that they're hiding from me at Lord Kazuma's (2) house. Such shy children, ne? But that picture of prefect passion stood with me until Ayame came over. Let's say that wasn't the first round that you walked in." Shigure winked at me.
I nodded as I stared into the cup. I'm used to Shigure's verbal diarrhea. "Anyway, learning how strong is your stamina isn't the reason that I came here for."
Shigure pouted, playfully no doubt. "Ah, but Ha-san, I haven't seen you in a week. You know that I love to talk to you about all the interesting events of my life."
I sighed. It seems that I do enough of that these days. "Anyway, do you know to know what advice that I came for or you want talk yourself to death?"
"Mou, Ha-san, it seems that you woke on the wrong side of the bed this morning… Is it that serious, your problem?"
I looked at Shigure, genuine concern in his eyes. He's right. This… problem… has gotten way out of hand. It seems I'm starting to put my frustration on other people. However, this WAS Shigure, he'll have a field day with this before actually helping me. "It's about my relationship with Momiji. It's starting to sour."
Shigure looked at me with a mix of disbelief, anger, and concern. It's rare for this man to express any emotion besides mischief, let alone three. "You and Momiji are what? Ha-san, how could you let it sour at all?!"
I took a deep breath and looked at him in the eyes. "I'm starting to have sexual fantasies about him."
Shigure's facial expression just went blank, before he rushed to the shoji and slamming it open. "Aaya! It's a Code Plaid!"
My eye widened as I watched the strange outburst unfold front of me. Ayame rushed in the living room with a big grin on his face in his bathrobe, although he was practically soaked with a red book in his arms. "Oh, Gure-san! I can't believe it! I really can't believe it! I'm been waiting for this day to come!"
Shigure grabbed Ayame's hands, practically brimming with excitement. "Yes, we have been patiently waiting for this day! Now, our hard labor will never have to go to waste!"
I start to frown. Knowing them all too well… too well in my opinion, the two had obviously hatched a plan behind my back. "What is going on here?"
They snapped out that weird trance they're prone to do after planning a scheme and smiled at me. Shigure started to talk.
"Well, since Aaya and I found out about your romance with Momiji-chan, we knew this day will come! We were planning on giving you this on your birthday but what's a better time than this?" Shigure said as Ayame gave me the red book. My eye almost fell out of it's socket (3).
"A Guide to Popping a Virgin's Cherry: Tori-san's Version…what the hell is this?"
"A guide to make innocent Momiji into a fantastic lover! I wrote with Aaya's help during that small break from my professional writing!"
"You're not serious. I'm not having sex with Momiji, Shigure. He's way too young."
"Hatori, Momiji-chan is practically almost eighteen and graduating from high school in a couple of weeks. Fair game, I say."
I look at the book comprehensively. "Shigure…"
"Introduce him to sex. Problem solved." Shigure said to me, casually. I looked at him in disbelief. How in the world can I corrupt such an innocent boy like Momiji?
"Gure-san, he's going to guilt mode again." Ayame said with a sigh.
"Shut up, Ayame."
"Really, honestly, Tori-san! You and the boy are practically deep in love! Sooner or later, your relationship will have to advance to higher levels. Wanting to have sex with Momiji doesn't make you a bad person, it's just that you want a deeper connection with him."
I look at Shigure. "Shigure…"
Shigure gave me a lazy smile. "Tori-san, I'm not saying to have sex with him tonight or anything of the like. Just think about it. Besides…"
Shigure reached over the table, opened the book to a page and pointed his finger to a title with a huge smile on his face. "Besides training him before taking his virginity is a lot more fun!"
I sigh. As I thought he was becoming serious about this, he immediately reverted back. However, he did have a point.
"Plus, *I* think that you should discuss this with Momiji-chan." Ayame said proudly.
Yes, I should discuss this with him, after all this was something we needed to talk about sooner or later.
"Thank you, you two."
Shigure and Ayame lit up with smiles. Although they annoyed me with their antics, they were always true friends to me.
"Since I decided that I should invite you to dinner, Ayame and I have ideas of the prefect sexual positions that you and Momiji should try out on your first night!"
I just shook my head as the two started to discuss about various parts of the book.

+++
As I walked into my bedroom, putting my blazer on the coat rack, I looked at the book in my hand. After dropping Shigure and Ayame to Kazuma-san's house, so they could torture Kyou and Yuki, after dinner in a small Chinese restaurant (4), I decided to read some of it. Needlessly to say, those two didn't hold back, they even included how they roped me into that threesome tryst we once shared. I heard a knock outside my door. I had put the book on my bedside, cover facing the bed. I don't need any questions why I have a book with such a brazen title. I opened the door and was surprised to see Hatsuharu outside leaning on the side next to the door.
"Momiji's crying again."
Without another word, I rushed to Momiji's room. I was glad that he usually left his bedroom door unlocked and walked in. The sight that was laid before me was heart wrenching. Momiji looked at me surprised from his bed, then tried to wipe the tear lines from his face. I sat on the bed.
"Momiji…"
Momiji started to get flustered. "Ah, no! Hari, it's not what it looks like!"
Then I hugged him. "It's okay. I'm sorry that I did this to you and left you in the dark, Momiji."
"Hari…"
"Shh… it's okay to cry about it. It doesn't lessen you in my eyes. I have given you a reason to cry."
"Hari… I was so scared…"
"Don't worry, I'll make it better, okay?"
I felt Momiji rubbing his face into my shoulder. His body against mine was starting to make me arouse. I scowled at myself. Momiji was suffering, but I really can't help it with him near me.
"I love you, Hari…"
I pulled back a little and saw his eyes, shining with sincerity. I gave in the urge to kiss him. At first, it was like any other kiss but it was different. I lowered Momiji unto his bed with me over him. The kisses continue, then suddenly my hand started to wonder, touching his soft arm.
The kisses deepen.
I coax his mouth open, exploring his mouth as my hands started to wander around his body. Momiji started to whimper, in fright or pleasure, I didn't know. My hand play with the tails of his pajama shirt as it slips under the shirt.
I feel his hand encircle my neck as he arched as I went past his nipple.
I removed my mouth and started to lick and suck his neck. Not hard, mind you. He still has to go to school tomorrow.
After a few moments of kissing and innocent exploring of each other's body through touching, I pulled back, looked at his flushed face. At the moment, I knew that it was time, that we were ready to move this relationship forward. I'm willing to give Shigure and Ayame's book a try.
"Hari?"
I nuzzled with him a little more before pulled back, trying not to get extremely aroused from the sight of Momiji tousled and in bed.
"Momiji, can you come straight here after school? There's something that I need to talk to you about. It's nothing bad, but it's very crucial."
Momiji nodded, with that innocent blush on his face. "Yes."
I gave him a final kiss of the day. "Oyasumi (5), Momiji. I love you…"
Momiji smiled at me. "Oyasumi nasai, Hari, and don't overwork yourself. Get some rest tonight."
I gave him a small smile as a left his room, feeling more at peace than I ever was. I knew that I made the right decision.

End of Part Two

Preview of Part Three: Sweet Delight
I feel his nervousness through the trembled of his stomach as I moved further down. My hand rubs against his hips…
It's looks like things are heating up for Hatori and Momiji as the training begins…

AEN: *hides behind a rock* Sorry that it's been almost a year since I posted the first part! I'm been busy with life and reading yaoi smut… uhh… My computer's in the middle of repairs so the next part probably won't come back until two or three weeks if my schedule permit me to do so. I want to thank all the support and reviews that Spring Candy Kiss received over the year from both mediaminer.org and AdultFanfiction.net. I love ya guys and I PROMISE that I won't take another 10 months to post another chappie! Ja!

1. An obi is that sash that Shigure wears around his kimono.
2. It's really Kazuna-dono, Kazuma is considered a higher ranking that most of the Cursed Sohma because he's from the Main Branch, the same as Akito.
3. Hatori only can see out of one eye (the other is nearly blind) after that incident with Akito over wanting to marry Kana. It was a tasteless joke…
4. Chinese food rocks, it's a change from making eating from a Japanese food restaurant.
5. Oyasumi has the same intonation of good night. It literally mean to rest. Hatori is using the informal way of say it (although I doubt he says it that way) and Momiji is using the the formal way (liter. "Please rest.").
