Aya didn’t know who else to turn to. He couldn’t go to Omi with this. He was embarrassed. It wasn’t like the other things that he and Yohji had done. He felt humiliated. Why would he do something like this without asking? I would’ve said no, but at least he could’ve asked!

He was still in his mission clothes. He’d accepted a solo mission from Manx before he’d been able to drive here.

Aya knocked on the door. He awkwardly clutched the present in his hands. The door swung open and he was greeted by Pawn, who grinned with excitement when he saw him. He shook his head at the ‘its my birthday, wanna spank me?’ pin that the boy wore on his sweater.

“You remembered!” Pawn squealed with delight, accepting the gift that Aya handed to him.

“Eighteen now?” Aya asked. Pawn nodded.

“Ran’s here!” Pawn screamed through the house as Aya stepped inside.

“What did you get me!!!” Pawn sat down at the table and ripped the paper open. Aya hadn’t known what to get him, so he’d picked up the latest espionage video game.

“Oh my God!!!!” Pawn shouted. “Thanks!” Pawn ran away to play the game. Aya snorted at the boy’s antics.

“Hey there, Ran.” He was greeted by Masato, who was heading out for a smoke break. “Everything alright? Or did you come here to pick on Knight? He’s in a mood right now, so you might not want to.”

“I…have some questions. I…never mind.”

“Ran, you know you can talk to me, right? And if you’re uncomfortable you can always talk to Knight. He might be pissy right now, but he’s not likely to ever turn you away.” He had a point.

“Sex questions,” Aya said, blushing from ear to ear.

“Ran, you don’t really want to know anything of the sort from me. My tastes are a bit…different. Knight’s in his room, you should go and talk to him.”

Aya nodded. He slowly made his way up the stairs. He felt a lump of dread in his stomach as he reached the top.

He walked to Knight’s door and lightly knocked.

“It can wait,” Knight snapped. Why’s he so mad? Aya shrugged and shoved the door open anyway.

“Ran?” Knight got up so quickly that his chair fell over.

“Are you alrigh, Yuushi?” Aya asked. The man looked worn out.

“I’m fine. I just…sometimes love isn’t returned, you know?” Aya nodded. Yeah, he knew. When he’d thought Yohji didn’t care about him it was like the end of the world.

“What about you, Ran, you okay? You don’t look it.” Aya shook his head. No, he was everything but alright. Aya walked over to Knight’s fallen chair and picked it up, sitting down.

Knight sat down on the bed opposite him, frowning.

“Have you ever…had someone do something to you that you…maybe I just don’t get it. But he should’ve asked.” Aya shook his head.

“What’s going on? Was it that man? Did he hurt you?” Knight looked pissed off now. Aya nodded. Yeah, Yohji had hurt him, he’d broken his trust.

“Can you tell me what happened?” Aya blushed, but explained everything to Knight, who stared wide eyed at him.

“So, did it hurt you because he pinned you against him? Is that what the problem was?” Knight rested his elbows on his knees and looked at him.

“Why would he do that to me? I would’ve said no if he’d asked, but that doesn’t mean he should’ve done that!” Aya growled.

“You two have been building up to sex, right? That was your goal, yes?” Aya nodded, not sure exactly where this was going.

“If he’d had sex with you without having done that first I would’ve been on the doorstep ready to kill him. Its…its part of the process. If he doesn’t do that to you it will hurt like hell when he tries to couple with you. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Why?” Aya was trying to wrap his head around it, but couldn’t quite figure it out.

“Ran, you don’t have a clue what I’m talking about, do you? I’d thought you were confused because someone had hurt you. I didn’t realize it was because you didn’t know what was going on. I’m sorry.” Knight reached over and lay a hand on Aya’s shoulder.

“Ran, are you sure he’s the one? You need to be sure. Once you give yourself to him you won’t be able to take it back.”

“He’s the one, Yuushi,” Aya had a feeling he was missing something here. Why did Knight look so sad?

“Then go back there and talk to him. Trust him. He was just trying to make things easier for you.”

“How can that make things easier?” Aya wanted an answer, damnit! He was tired of everyone being so fucking cryptic about it!

“Ran, do you know how men have sex?”

“No, no one will tell me! He should tell me!” Aya all but shouted.

“There’s a reason he hasn’t told you, and the reason is your reaction to what he just did. You didn’t stop to ask him why he did it, you just got the hell out of there. He’s afraid you’re going to run away on him. In the same situation I would do exactly what he did, well, without the whipping, but you know what I mean. You’re not good with your emotions. You don’t know how to express them properly so you either run like hell or you attack.”

“I don’t need to hear that from you!” Aya roared, taking a swing at him. Knight caught his fist and shoved him back, rising to his feet. He was right, of course, when he was upset he liked to fight. Knight saying it out loud was like him giving him permission to attack.

He dodged a punch to the face and hissed as the fist nailed his shoulder. Knight came to a dead halt.

“You’ve been injured.” Knight sat back down, refusing to fight anymore. “Was it him?”

“No. It was a mission I shouldn’t have taken. I was upset,” Aya explained.

“Want to go and get some tea?” Knight smiled at him.

“I guess I should go home and talk to him. You’re sure, though, that he had to do that?” He folded his arms over his chest. He felt naked under Knight’s watchful eye.

“I’m sure. See that you do talk to him. Whatever you decide to do after you have gotten your answers is entirely up to you. If worst comes to worst you are welcome to stay here.”

“I…thank you,” Aya nodded to him. He wished Knight would’ve really fought with him. The mission had been too easy, it hadn’t taken his frustrations away. He was disappointed.

He wondered, had Yohji explained to him what that was for, would he have reacted differently? Would he have let him?

He wished he had an answer. Instead he still felt like his heart was heavy in his chest.





Author’s notes: I have no freaking idea what the layout of the Crasher’s safe house is like, but I wanted Aya and Knight to have some privacy, therefore I gave them a two level place.
