Gravitation Fan Fiction ❯ I Love...You? ❯ The Roof ( Chapter 2 )

[ X - Adult: No readers under 18. Contains Graphic Adult Themes/Extreme violence. ]

After their first fateful classroom encounter, our two young men, Shuichi and Hiro, soon found themselves (and resultantly their mouths) inexplicably intertwined at every possible opportunity.
Opportunities such as, but not limited to:
After school cleaning jobs that they so generously volunteered to take off the hands of their classmates and During time spent alone in one another’s rooms (usually Shuichi’s, as his parents went out the most).

Eventually the boys started meeting up on the school roof top at lunch time, their mouths practicing their new found sport quite vigorously between bites of Shuichi’s standard box lunch with strawberry Pocky (which was usually shared between them) and Hiro pandering to his budding cigarette addiction. Why you ask? Either they grew bored with their usual make out locations, they simply got braver, or they grew so infatuated with one another that they couldn’t even go one school day without their mouths meeting up, it’s really hard to say for sure. What we do know for sure, is that it was one such roof top soiree that provided the stepping stone for the next big leap in their relationship.

Hiro sat waiting in their (now) usual, secret, meeting place on the school roof. It was a partially covered, sunny nook nestled between a trio of air conditioning ducts, a covered stair well and the concrete and chain link fence that surrounded the roof’s perimeter. They were only exposed on one side, the side that faced the south wall of the school, which led out of the nook and onto the open expanse of the rest of the roof. It was the best place they could find to be alone, which as they had discovered was no easy task given the population of their school. True, they took their chances with the one open side, but they also counted their blessings that the other three were pretty much closed off and that hardly anyone climbed the six flights of stairs to get to the roof.

Hiro took a drag off his second cigarette and looked at his watch for what seemed like the hundredth time since he’d sat down. Only three minutes passed twelve.
Shuichi had been late before, hell so had Hiro, but today was different. Today something had Hiro a little more anxious for Shuichi to get there. Today, Hiro had a surprise.

Five agonizing minutes later, when Shuichi finally did show up, Hiro was both overjoyed and nauseas. He wasn’t sure how Shuichi would react to his “news” and it had him a little twisted up.

Shuichi set down his bag and parked himself beside Hiro on the old blanket they’d laid out. They quickly found out that concrete wasn’t the softest surface to sit on and thus the blanket was abruptly installed. It wasn’t much, but it helped. The young musician planted a big kiss on Hiro’s cheek and sighed.
“Sorry I’m late, Sensei had me run the microscopes and stuff back to the supply closet all the way down on the first floor,” He explained animatedly, “I think he made me do it because he hates my hair. He’s such a fascist asshole.”

Hiro glanced up at his friend’s head. The hair was messy, air dried and just past bottom-of-the-ear length, but most noticeably, it was also a bright neon pink. He rather liked it, but the faculty at the school had had nothing but complaining to do about it ever since Shuichi had had it done. Because he had to go from black to bleach blond to platinum and then finally to pink, it had cost him nearly his entire months paycheck and taken eight hours at the salon, but he was happy to have it, so who were the teachers to judge him?
His parent’s had gone into conniptions when they first saw it too, but at least their love for their son overrode their need to keep him proper and “normal” like their neighbors stuck up, cello playing android-kids. The teachers had no such parental connections and most of them made it clear how they felt about it. Their science teacher was one of the nay-sayers, hence Shuichi’s trip from the fourth to the first floor with a gigantic box of microscopes and preserved frog parts.

Hiro reached over and ran his cigarette free hand through the back of Shuichi’s hair. He closed his eyes as he savored the cool, slightly rough texture between his fingers as it blew in the late spring breeze. He took a drag on his cigarette as Shuichi sighed and laid down, head resting on Hiro’s lap.

“I say fuck them Shuichi,” was Hiro’s reply. “If they don’t like it, and can’t appreciate that you are trying to be unique, that you’re an artist, then fuck them!”

“Yeah…I guess so,” Shu said quietly as he wondered where this angry version of Hiro was coming from. Something told him that his friend wasn’t this upset over the teachers giving him a hard time about his hair.
“Listen, is something bothering you? You seem…tense.”

Hiro knew this was coming. It wasn’t like him to get worked up so quickly, and in truth it wasn’t just Shu’s teacher trouble that was responsible.
“I’m sorry Shuichi, I didn’t mean to get angry about it, but I’ve got something I want to talk to you about and it’s got me a little…” He gestured nondescriptly through the air, sighing as he looked for the right word.
“Edgy?” Shuichi offered helpfully.
“Yeah edgy, exactly.”
Shuichi sat up so he could talk to Hiro face to face. “What did you want to talk to me about that’s got you so worked up? You know you can tell me anything, we’ve pretty much already established that.” He laughed as he opened his hands outwards in a “look at where we are and what we’re doing” kind of way.

Hiro felt like an idiot. He knew that Shuichi would be just as happy as he was that this sort of opportunity had presented itself, but there was always that tiny part of his mind that told him that it was too soon in their…whatever it was that they had together, to bring it up…
He decided to just let it out.

“You’re right Shuichi. So, the big news is, my parents are going down to Okinawa to see my Grandmother tomorrow and they won’t be back until next Thursday night. Yuji is using the time to skip out on classes and visit his online girlfriend in Kyoto… so I’ll be home all alone.”

Hiro looked up to see if there was any discernable thoughts displaying on Shuichi’s face, but he found it surprisingly blank. Happy, but blank.
He bravely continued onwards.
“So, I was thinking that… you could come stay with me and um…we could, you know, be alone together and…”

Shuichi smiled and interjected.
“When you say alone together, do you mean…together together?”
Hiro gulped and rubbed his sweaty palms on his pants. “Y-yeah…I kind of meant…together together.”

“So basically, you’re saying that…you want to have …sex?”

Hiro looked back up at Shuichi, though he didn’t remember turning away.
“Well…Yeah.” He replied sheepishly. “But only if you’re cool with that!” He blurted out quickly. “I mean I know you’re a virgin and everything, but so am I and I mean I’m not totally inept or anything…and I’m sure you’re not either, it could be so good! I know if we both try we could-”

Shuichi felt he owed it to Hiro to stop him from babbling and making a complete idiot of himself . He reached down and brought one of his friends hands up to his mouth.
Hiro froze as he stared, transfixed, at Shuichi’s face and his own hand being brought there.
The pink haired boy placed a kiss on the palm of Hiro’s hand before grasping it gently in both of his own, running the sensitive finger tips gently, back and forth, over his slightly open mouth.
Hiro couldn’t move, he couldn’t think and he couldn’t speak yet a low shuddering sound managed to escape him as Shuichi slowly sucked the middle finger of his right hand inside his mouth, his pink tongue slowly circling around it as if it were covered in something sticky and sweet. Shu’s eyes where half lidded and daring, but he never looked away, he kept them locked onto Hiro’s.

Shu removed the finger, continuing to apply gentle suction until it slid all the way out, making a little wet sucking sound. A sound which made things low in both of their young bodies tighten up and send shivers down Hiro’s spine.
Shuichi used the now free hand to pull Hiro closer to him, all the while maintaining eye contact, until the older of the pairs mouth was within kissing distance of his own. He brought Hiro tantalizingly close, hovered over his mouth and made him lunge out slightly with his lips for a kiss, yet he denied him that kiss by pulling him still further. When the pink haired boys mouth was right next to Hiro’s ear, he whispered.

“Thanks for the offer. But no.”

“What?!”
Hiro snapped out of his love sick stupor and the look on his face paired with the chubby in his pants must have been priceless because Shuichi burst out laughing the second he saw it.

“I’m only kidding! I’m sorry I just couldn’t resist! Of course I want to sex you up Hiro!” He laughed hysterically, holding his sides.
Hiro frowned and tried his best to look hurt, but he couldn’t avoid the laughter for long and soon he was giggling as well.
They laughed themselves out of breath and when they stopped to catch it they caught each others eyes. Suddenly everything stopped being funny and the reality of what they had just decided to do hit them.
Because what if it changed their friendship into something they didn’t want?
What would this mean?
What where they to each other?
Would they be friends with benefits or …would they be lovers?
There were some things that sexual education just didn’t quite cover.

Just as Hiro was about to say something, the lunch bell rang and broke their awkward little moment.
Shu was the first to look back and smile.
“This won’t change things will it?”

Hiro was thinking the same thing and he wasn’t sure what to say.
“Well I’d like to say of course it won’t, but I’ve never been in this sort of situation before. So let’s just say we won’t let it change things, and if they do have to change, that they change for the better.”

Shuichi seemed happy with Hiro’s little speech. He leaned in and gave Hiro the kiss he’d been denied moments earlier. He tried to put as much feeling into it as he could so Hiro would know just how much he cared.

“I love you Hiro. I know now that I really, truly do. And I know for certain now that you love me just as much, because if we didn’t love each other we wouldn’t be worrying about it.” He smiled and stood up, shouldering his bag and waiting to help Hiro up.

Hiro took Shu’s hand and stood up as well, brushing off his pants.
The two of them just stared at each other for a while, a mutual feeling of trust growing between them, before the red head pulled them together. Shuichi slid his arms around Hiro’s back, one hand sliding up into his hair the other sliding down to cup his ass. He sighed as he closed his eyes and willed his heart to stop beating so fast.

“You know I love you Shuichi. And I’m so glad to hear you say you love me too. I know that this…that being with me isn’t going to be easy, but at least we’ll have each other when things get tough right?”

Shuichi smiled into Hiro’s chest and laughed. “You bet your cute little ass!” He quipped loudly as he gave Hiro’s butt a squeeze and pulled out of their hug. Hiro cried out and then laughed as Shuichi headed for the stair way. Just before he headed down he turned around and called, “I’ll be over around eight! Make me some dinner and don’t forget to doll yourself up all nice a pretty!”

“Hey I didn’t say anything about making you dinner, Stupid!” Hiro yelled sarcastically.

“Well,” Shu declared proudly, “I might not be the brightest bulb in the tanning bed, but I’m certainly not easy!”
Then he ducked down the stair well and disappeared.

Hiro laughed and shook his head.
“What have I gotten myself into?” He asked out loud as he tied back his hair, and put his cigarettes into his bag.
For some strange reason he was hoping he might get an answer, but Shuichi was already gone. So smiling like any man who just found out he was going to get laid later that night, he dashed off down the stairs to his English class, happier then he’d been in his entire life and hoping he hadn’t just screwed it all up.

AN: Okay so this fic made a late come back, though I was really only like six months past my original continuation date. Blessings for small miracles eh? Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone know that, yes this fic will be continued, hopefully finished right away, and yes most of my other fics will be updated. As many of you know my parents are going through a divorce and I am currently trying to graduate from two very work heavy grade 12 courses, work and deal with a bunch of emotional shit at home, so my stories have taken a back burner to the rest of my RL stuff. This is a hobby after all, not my job (which I’ve decided is going to be dog groomer/doggie day care owner) and so things will be sort of sporadic until I move out and everything settles down. Just be patient and have faith!

For MM.org Reviewers:

Tueske: I’m glad you liked the first chapter of this. I’m glad you reviewed. And yes it was a bit downplayed from what you are used to seeing me write, but that’s all part of the effect; the suspense of waiting for that steamy, hot little moment you want to see! So just keep reading and reviewing, I’ll get there soon I promise! ^_~

Chocho: I’m very glad you liked it and I’m very glad you decided to tell me! Most people don’t review one shots, and though this technically isn’t a one shot anymore, It’s still nice that you reviewed when it was. I agree Shuichi and Hiro act far to close to be your run of the mill male best friends. There is that…something, that you can’t see hanging around between them that really inspired me to write this fic. I mean Hiro jokes that he’s in love with Shuichi all the time, just enough to make us wonder.For Gurabite Reviewers:
Silvea:
Really? The most adorable one ever? Aww shucks *blushes* That’s so nice of you to say, though I am almost certain there are cuter ones out there somewhere. You know I agree with you, I generally am not a huge HiroxShu fan, myself being a die hard YukixShu misogynist. The other characters are pretty disposable when it comes to pairings that I like to read and write, just as long as the main pair, Yuki and Shu-chan are not broken up. But since this story is happening before Shu met Yuki, I find that it’s alright by my standards. I mean you can’t be blamed for your first love right? Eventually I want the end of this to run straight into where the original story line picks up, or close to there, so it doesn’t turn into an AU.

Pinkrose:
See the above review for my opinions on the HiroxShu pairing. I’m glad you liked the story! And I hope you’re glad that I’m continuing it.^_^

Dax:
A Dax, yet another review from you, you are such a sweety! You’re one of my top reviewers so it’s nice to see you even review the one shots. I hope the remainder of this fic is up to your expectations and you enjoy them!

EIRI-CHICK:
Lovey you are the best critic a girl could ask for. You know how special you are to me and you know just what to say to stroke my ego just before you give it a slap with a leather glove! I appreciate you taking the time to review all my stuff and I’m so glad you thought this was, and I quote, “such a sweet, hot and sexy little story!” end quote. ^_^ Thanks!

VioletEyes:
Thanks, sweet and hot seem to be the general concencus, but girl if you haven’t read any of my stuff before, you haven’t seen anything yet! This should get a whole lot hotter and whole lot sweeter by the time I’m done!
