Chapter 4: Deception

Maiko had a dreamy smile on her face when she drifted into homeroom. She was Eiri Yuki's girlfriend! They had been dating for over a month and all the other girls were tremendously jealous. She sank into her seat with a contented sigh. A group of girls talking nearby immediately surrounded her desk.

“You were out with Yuki last night, weren't you?” one girl, Hitomi, asked eagerly.

“Yes, I was!” Maiko smiled excitedly. “He took me out to dinner. It was such a nice restaurant; I had to dress up.”

“You are so lucky!” sighed another girl, Keiko. “I've never gone out with Yuki.”

“Me neither,” added Aiko, a third girl.

The fourth girl in the group, Naniko, leaned on Maiko's desk and asked in a low voice, “I heard Yuki won't go out with a girl a second time unless she sleeps with him on the first date.” She fixed her eyes on Maiko. “Is that true?”

Maiko blushed furiously. “Are you suggesting that I…?” She swallowed and looked around at the others. They were all staring at her expectantly. “Well, it's not true for me!” she exclaimed. “I don't do that and Yuki respects me. He's never tried to… to… force himself on me or anything! He hasn't even asked.”

Naniko straightened up and folded her arms under her breasts. “He hasn't asked?” She smirked. “Well, he must be expecting something eventually. He can have any girl he wants. Why would he stay with someone who doesn't put out?”

Maiko's blush grew even deeper. “Not all boys are like that!”

“Maybe just with Naniko!” Aiko whispered to Hitomi with a giggle.

Naniko rounded on her. “I heard that!” she hissed at Aiko. “Just because I… because I…” her face grew red and she glared angrily at Aiko. “Maybe I'm not as pure as you, but I'm no slut!”

“But I bet she'd put out for Yuki!” Hitomi whispered to Maiko. “You better watch out.”

Naniko turned her glare on Hitomi. “Just because my boyfriend dumped me for another girl doesn't mean I'd try to do the same thing to Maiko! It's not me she has to watch out for! I'm just saying: Yuki has a reputation, that's all.”

“That's true,” Aiko agreed. “Naniko might be right. He might dump you if some other girl offered to spread her legs for him.”

Hitomi nodded. “You don't have to go all the way, you know. He would probably be happy with a little making out and a blow job.”

Maiko put her hands over her flaming cheeks. “Don't say things like that!” she gasped. She looked around quickly to see if anyone else overheard. “I could never do something like that!”

“It's not the same thing as having sex,” Naniko said, “and the guys really like it.”

“It's not that bad,” Hitomi added. “If you get the guy really excited first, he'll be quick and you won't have to do it for very long.”

“Speaking with the voice of experience?” Naniko arched an eyebrow at Hitomi and Hitomi blushed.

“If the guy's really nice and I like him, why not?” She giggled. “And he won't ask you to go Dutch at the movies afterward!”

Aiko was scandalized. “You never told me you did that!”

“I've only done it a couple of times,” Hitomi said in a low voice, “but the guys were really cute!” She grinned. “Anyway, Maiko, you should give it some serious thought. Yuki's an experienced guy. Maybe he really likes you, but the innocent act is only enticing for so long. Eventually, a guy's going to want something more.”

“Yeah,” Naniko agreed. “And if he doesn't get it from you, he may move on.”

Their teacher came in and clapped her hands to get everyone's attention. “Please be seated, class.”

Maiko looked down in confusion as her friends moved away to take their seats. She wondered if they were right. Was Yuki just taking a break from his normal routine by dating a “good” girl like her? Maybe he did want more from their relationship, but he was too much the gentleman to ask. Oh, dear! Maiko thought to herself. I'll have to ask him, but I'll be so embarrassed! And what if he says yes? What then? Maiko opened her notebook to get out yesterday's homework assignment. Her happy feelings from only moments ago had evaporated. What did Yuki want? Suddenly, Maiko was not so sure that she knew.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Shuichi felt tremendously guilty about dating Yuki behind Maiko's back. And it was dating. They often went places together and met regularly for sex. But Shuichi was so deeply in love, no amount of guilt was enough to make him stop. No one in his family suspected a thing. They all seemed to think that Yuki was just being nice to the little brother of his girlfriend. The first time Yuki had suggested they go see a movie together, Shuichi had been shocked and worried that Maiko would become suspicious. But Maiko was busy that night and she didn't really want to see the movie anyway, so she sent them off with her blessing. Shuichi's guilt that night had lasted up until the moment Yuki parked the car in a secluded spot and made love with him in the back seat.

But it was still hard facing Maiko every day, knowing how hurt she would be if she found out what he was doing. Fortunately, his habit of holing up in his room to play music all the time meant that he usually only saw her at meals, where everyone was used to him bolting his food down and dashing back to his room to get back to his music.

So he was in his room as usual, working on his latest composition with his headphones on, when Maiko unexpectedly entered his room and startled him so badly he nearly knocked his keyboard over. He yanked the headphones off with a yelp.

“Geez, Maiko! Knock before you walk in like that! You scared the shit out of me!”

“I did knock!” She shook a finger at him. “You shouldn't listen to the music so loud, especially with the headphones on. You'll damage your hearing.”

“You sound like Mom.”

“Well, she's right. Anyway, I wanted to ask you something.” She closed the door and sat down on his bed. “It's kind of personal,” she began and her cheeks reddened slightly. “I was talking to some of my friends today…” Maiko hesitated. “You know Eiri has a reputation for being, well, experienced, right?”

Shuichi nodded and dropped his eyes, praying he wasn't blushing.

Maiko shifted uncomfortably. “Well, my friends said that… Oh dear! This is so hard to say.” Her blush deepened. “My friends think I should sleep with Eiri. They think he'll break up with me eventually if I don't. You spend a lot of time with him. Do you think he would do that? Does he talk about me that way?”

Shuichi swallowed. What could he say? He wasn't about to tell her that Yuki wasn't interested in her that way at all. “Honestly, Maiko, we don't usually talk about you, but I don't think that's why Yuki is dating you.”

“Really?”

“Yuki likes you, Maiko. I don't think he'd break up with you just because you're not having sex.” That seemed safe to say and it was close to the real truth.

Maiko brightened. “Do you really think so?”

Shuichi nodded.

“Oh, that's such a relief!” Maiko smiled and blew her breath out in a long sigh. “It's not that I'm not attracted to him, you know,” she said. “I think Eiri is really sexy, I just don't think I'm ready for that.”

“You shouldn't rush into sex, Maiko,” Shuichi said seriously. “It's too easy to get in over your head.” Says the guy who's way in over his head! Shuichi thought to himself.

“Still, I wonder if I should at least talk to him about it,” Maiko said thoughtfully. “To make sure there are no misunderstandings.”

“I don't think that's necessary!” Shuichi said quickly. “You know how blunt Yuki can be. If he wanted to talk about it, I'm sure he would have brought it up by now.”

“I suppose…” Maiko bit her lip. Then she stood up and favored Shuichi with another bright smile. “Well, I should quit bothering you. Thanks for the advice, Shuichi. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me.” She left, closing the door quietly behind her.

Shuichi stared at the closed door for a long time after she had gone, his hands dangling idly between his knees. “What am I going to do?” he whispered. “I should stop seeing him, but how can I when he's all I think about?”

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Eiri knew the Shindou family schedule better than that of his own family, it seemed. He knew exactly when Mr. Shindou left for work each morning and when he returned each evening. He knew every class Mrs. Shindou was taking and when every group she belonged to met. He knew when all of Maiko's club meetings were and kept careful track of any changes in her schedule. And nearly every afternoon when he knew the house would be empty except for Shuichi, Eiri went to see him.

It was almost like an addiction. If he couldn't go for some reason, Eiri became short-tempered and irritable. And after an afternoon with Shuichi, he always felt calm and relaxed. It was completely insane and very exciting, but that did not meant Eiri wasn't careful. He always made sure no one saw him going into the Shindou house when he went just to see Shuichi.

Monday was his favorite day, since Shuichi was always alone and Eiri usually went out with Maiko on the weekends. But Maiko twisted her ankle when she and Eiri were out on Sunday, so she stayed home from her dance class on Monday and Eiri didn't get to see Shuichi. So by Wednesday, he was extremely snappish and determined to spend the entire afternoon in bed with Shuichi. It did not help at all that some friend of Mrs. Shindou stopped by unexpectedly and kept Shuichi talking on the porch for twenty minutes while Eiri waited just out of sight up the street. By the time she left, Eiri was fuming. He had to restrain himself to keep from pounding on the door when he was finally standing on Shuichi's front porch.

“What the hell did that stupid cow want?” Eiri snapped as soon as Shuichi opened the door. “I've been waiting forever for her to leave.”

Shuichi grinned at him and some of Eiri's anger melted away. “She just wanted to gossip.”

Eiri brushed past him and stepped out of his shoes. “She couldn't wait for your mother? Why didn't you tell her you were busy?”

“Because I wasn't busy.” Shuichi poked Eiri in the chest. “You weren't here yet.” He put his arms around Eiri's waist and pressed his face against his chest. “I couldn't concentrate on my new song because I kept hoping you would come over.” His voice was muffled.

Eiri embraced him and kissed the top of his head. “Let's go to bed.”

“Ok.”

Eiri loved touching Shuichi's body. His sensitivity to caresses made him extremely responsive, which heightened the pleasure for Eiri. Eiri did not care for lovers who just lay there and let him satisfy himself. He wanted someone who was driven wild by his touch, someone who would move with him and hold on to him and beg for more. Who would have suspected that that person would be Shuichi?

And undressing him was half the fun. Eiri could lick almost anyplace on Shuichi's body and elicit an erotic response, so when they had time for foreplay, Eiri would undress Shuichi slowly, kissing and licking Shuichi's skin as he exposed it. He always tried to start someplace different, for variety, so today he started by pulling up the back of Shuichi's shirt as they sat beside each other on the bed and licking the small of his back.

Shuichi moaned softly. “Oh lord! Why does that feel so good?”

Eiri kept pushing Shuichi's shirt up, licking his way up Shuichi's spine.

“You know you're driving me crazy?”

“That was the plan. Are you hard yet?”

“I was hard when you walked in the door.”

“That's one of the things I like about you.” Eiri licked Shuichi's right shoulder. “Have you been losing weight? Your bones are sticking out more.”

“I weigh the same as always,” Shuichi said quickly.

Eiri suspected he was lying, but he didn't press the point. In fact, he was quite sure Shuichi was losing weight. He knew Shuichi's body probably better than Shuichi did, since he could see places Shuichi couldn't. He slid his arms around Shuichi's waist and started unbuttoning his shirt. Then he pulled Shuichi back against his chest, licking his neck just below the ear while caressing Shuichi's nipples with his fingertips.

Shuichi's breath came out in soft moans. His nipples were hard pebbles beneath Eiri's fingers. Eiri caught the little nubs between thumb and forefinger and squeezed them gently. Shuichi gasped. Eiri took Shuichi's shirt off and tossed it aside. Then he lifted Shuichi's left arm and licked him, starting at the elbow and working his way down through the armpit and along the side of his chest. He cradled Shuichi in his left arm and leaned him across his lap so he could lick his way across Shuichi's chest to his left nipple. Shuichi's breathing had grown increasingly rapid and he gasped aloud when Eiri's tongue stroked across the erect flesh. Eiri closed his lips around the pink bud and sucked it slowly, stretching it out as he pulled his mouth away.

“Ohh!” Shuichi groaned. His eyes were closed and he was panting. The bulge of his erection was unmistakable through his trousers.

“I think if I tease you much more, you won't be able to wait for me,” Eiri chuckled.

“It feels so good!” Shuichi moaned.

Eiri lifted Shuichi's mouth to his and kissed him hungrily. He slid his tongue into Shuichi's mouth, coaxing Shuichi's tongue back into his own mouth so he could suck on it. “Would you like me to suck on anything else?” he whispered.

“I'll come if you touch it!” Shuichi gasped.

“That's sort of the idea,” Eiri chuckled. He undid Shuichi's pants and pushed them down over his hips. Then he carefully pulled Shuichi's underwear down. “Lie down.” Eiri licked his fingers. As he slid his mouth over Shuichi's erection, he slid two fingers into Shuichi's bottom.

Shuichi arched up with a deep groan of pleasure. Eiri moved his fingers and his mouth in unison, working Shuichi into a gasping frenzy that quickly exploded into orgasm.

“Oh, Yuki!” Shuichi cried.

Eiri kissed Shuichi's belly. “Take your pants off and turn over.” While Shuichi obeyed his instructions, Eiri undressed and fished the lubricant out of his jacket pocket. “I should probably just leave this here. We make love here more often than anywhere else.”

“But what if my mother found it?!” Shuichi squeaked. “She goes in my drawers all the time to put my clothes away.”

Eiri chuckled. “Well we can't have that!” He squeezed lubricant into his palm and applied it liberally to himself. “Get on your knees.” He lifted Shuichi's hips and moved up close behind him on his knees, driving himself into Shuichi with a slow, steady thrust.

Shuichi dropped his forehead onto the bed and moaned. “Don't hurry, ok?” he breathed. “I want to enjoy it.”

Eiri moved his hips slowly. “That's exactly what I was planning,” he murmured. His head tilted back as his eyes slowly closed. Shuichi felt so incredibly good. Eiri savored the exquisite pleasure of being inside him. Shuichi's groans of joy made him feel even better. Eiri increased speed slowly, letting the pleasure build up in them gradually until they were both crying aloud. Eiri came first, but he didn't stop moving until Shuichi's gasp of ecstasy announced he had come too. Then he pulled out and they lay down on the bed together with Eiri spooned up against Shuichi's back. Eiri wrapped his arms around him and held Shuichi firmly against him.

“I love you, Yuki,” Shuichi whispered.

Eiri was quiet for a long time. “Do you still feel guilty?”

“How can I not feel guilty?” Shuichi replied. His voice trembled slightly. “I just made love with my sister's boyfriend.”

“Doesn't it make you happy that I want to be with you?”

“I've never been so happy in my life!”

“But it's not enough?”

Shuichi sighed. “It is enough. But I still feel guilty.”

“You haven't been eating,” Eiri said after a moment.

Shuichi squirmed. “I have to!”

Eiri pressed his hand against Shuichi's chest. “I can feel your ribs, Shuichi. I couldn't feel them this easily when we first started.”

“It's hard!” Shuichi exclaimed unhappily. “How can I sit there eating and listen to Maiko talk about your last date? I just want to blurt out the truth!”

“If Maiko finds out, we won't be able to see each other anymore.”

“I know that!” Shuichi began to weep softly. “I love you so much, Yuki! I don't want to stop seeing you! I just… I don't know what to do!”

Eiri touched his lips to Shuichi's ear. “Don't think about it right now. I'll give you something else to think about.” He reached down and put himself back into Shuichi and Shuichi moaned. Eiri began moving inside him again and reached back in front to grasp Shuichi's erection. “Right now,” Eiri whispered in his ear, “this is all that matters. I don't want you to think about anything but me.”

Shuichi gasped with joy.

Maiko was tired when she got home from her theater group. With only two weeks to go before the premier of their play, rehearsals were becoming tense affairs. I may have to stop going to dance until after the play, Maiko thought to herself. I just don't have enough energy to do both anymore. She sat down to take her shoes off and then stared in surprise at the shoes piled by the door. Eiri's here! He must be in Shuichi's room. Maiko finished taking off her shoes, dumped her backpack by the railing and hurried upstairs. She stopped outside Shuichi's door, a little surprised. It was completely quiet. She knocked.

“Come in!” Shuichi called.

Maiko opened the door. Shuichi and Yuki were sitting in the middle of the floor playing cards. She blinked in surprise. “I wondered why it was so quiet.”

“Yuki's teaching me to play cribbage,” Shuichi said. He was staring at his cards with careful concentration.

“Oh. I didn't mean to bother you.” Maiko felt a little flustered, but then Yuki put his cards down and smiled at her.

“We were about to stop. You don't mind, do you, Shuichi?”

Shuichi put his cards down also. “No, I don't mind. I should work on my song anyway.” He grinned at Yuki. “I have an inspiration.” Yuki grinned back.

For a moment, Maiko felt like an outsider. “Um, Eiri, do you have time to talk? There's something I want to ask you.”

Shuichi gave her a warning look, but Maiko ignored him.

“Of course, Maiko.” Yuki stood up. “I was waiting to see you, after all.”

“Oh!” Maiko's pulse sped up. “Well, let's go downstairs so we aren't bothering Shuichi.” She turned and led the way to the living room. But once they were seated on the couch, Maiko wasn't sure were to start. “Eiri, we've been dating for a while now.”

“Yes.”

“I was wondering…” Maiko dropped her eyes. This was so hard! “I was wondering if you ever think about… us… being closer.”

“Closer?”

Maiko felt her cheeks turning pink. “You know. More… intimate.”

“Ah.” Yuki took her hand. “Maiko, I don't want you to offer to do anything that makes you uncomfortable. I enjoy your company. I have no problem with our relationship staying the way it is.”

Maiko looked up, surprised. Yuki was smiling sweetly at her. “Are you sure?”

“Of course. I know what people say about me,” Yuki said, “and there is some truth in it, but I tend to treat people the way they expect to be treated. You don't need to prove to me or anyone else that you deserve to be with me.”

“Thank you for being so honest, Eiri,” Maiko replied with great relief. “I didn't want to believe what my friends were saying, but I'm not experienced, so I wasn't sure.”

Yuki put his hand under her chin and kissed her briefly on the lips. “Always trust your own feelings, Maiko.”

“Yes, I will!” She beamed at him. “I feel so much better, now that we've talked about it. Will you stay for dinner?”

“I'd love to. I'll help you cook.”
