FRIENDS AND LOVERS

Chapter 2

With a sigh and a stretch Yusuke reached out for the warm body that had slept in his arms last night. Finding an empty bed he looked around the room. He smiled when he saw Kurama kneeling on the floor looking under the bed. Amused he just watched as Kurama crawled around to the end of the bed. He must have snickered because suddenly Kurama’s wide green eyes snapped in his direction. “Lose something Fox?”

The redhead held up a black sock. “Not any more.”

It wasn’t hard to tell that Kurama wasn’t exactly comfortable with the proverbial ‘morning after’. He was wearing his pants but had his shirt and socks clutched tightly against his chest. “Kurama, it looks like you were trying to sneak out without saying goodbye.”

Standing up, Kurama glanced at the door before looking around the room. Knowing Yusuke was waiting for an answer Kurama finally looked at him. “It had crossed my mind. After the way I acted last night I was hoping for a few days to regain my dignity before I had to face you.”

Pulling the sheet more securely across his lap Yusuke moved to sit on the side of the bed. Then he patted the space beside him indicating for Kurama to sit. Hesitating a moment Kurama finally sighed and sat beside his friend. “Kurama, you’ve at least done this before. If either of us should be nervous about the morning after it should be me. What’s bothering you?”

As a distraction Kurama slipped into his shirt and socks as he spoke. “You are one of my best friends and I acted like a vixen in heat last night. I didn’t just seduce you Yusuke, I practically ordered you to fuck me.”

Yusuke grinned. “Oh there was no ‘practically’ about it Kurama. You made it very clear exactly what you wanted me to do to you last night.”

Green eyes rolled dramatically towards the ceiling. “Thanks Yusuke, that made me feel so much better.”

Before Kurama could pull away Yusuke reached out and took his hand. “Kurama, you said last night that I wasn’t the first one of your friends that you’ve had sex with. Why is this bothering you so much? Did you act like this with Hiei or Yomi?”

Somehow the strong hand holding his seemed to calm Kurama down. Giving a sigh he looked at Yusuke. “It was different with them. My relationships with them as well as the situations were different than with us. I’m different now too. I’m tired of meaningless sex with nameless, faceless lovers Yusuke. I was hoping my last relationship would be just that, my last relationship. After last night it feels like I’m right back where I started.”

Even though Kurama tried to pull out of his grasp, Yusuke held tight. “It doesn’t have to be that way Kurama. Think about it a minute. What do I mean to you? As a friend, a lover everything. What do I mean to you?”

Realizing Yusuke was asking him a serious question Kurama thought before he answered. “You’re very important to me Yusuke. I admired you even before you became my friend. As a teammate I learned to trust you like I trust few others. In fact, after Hiei, I consider you to be my best friend and most trusted fighting partner. I enjoy being with you. I find you very attractive and, as I learned last night, you are an incredible lover.”

Smiling a the last comment Yusuke drew Kurama’s hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. “Kurama, everything you just said to me I could say right back at you. When I first saw you I thought you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen.”

Yusuke just grinned at the look of disgust on his friend’s face. “Even after finding out you were a guy I was a little uncomfortable to realize I was still attracted to you. When you started helping me accept that it was okay to be attracted to guys I wanted to make a move on you accept I knew you were involved with that guy.”

When Kurama looked away Yusuke paused before continuing. “I’ve already been shot down by the first guy I made a move on. If you shoot me down too I’ll survive. Hey at least I got some great experience. I’ve been on the top and the bottom with two really hot guys who know how to pleasure a lover.”

Yusuke now had Kurama’s full attention. “Kurama, what I think I’m trying to say is that I was kind of hoping that last night wasn’t just a one night stand. I’m hoping it might be the beginning of something more. It doesn’t even have to be about the sex, although I’m really hoping we can do that too. Neither of us is attached right now, what the hell have we got to lose?”

When Yusuke finished Kurama only thought a moment before responding quietly. “I don’t want to lose you as a friend Yusuke.”

Yusuke nodded. “I don’t want to lose you either Kurama. Look, Keiko and I were friends before we were lovers, now we’re friends again. You were friends first with Yomi and Hiei weren’t you? Even after being your lovers they’re still your friends. It doesn’t have to be any different with us. Who knows, maybe we’ll get it right and just stay lovers.”

To cover his discomfort at the mention of his former lovers Kurama smiled at the younger man’s enthusiasm. “So, what do you suggest we do now?”

Realizing Kurama was accepting his proposal Yusuke smiled. “Why don’t we start with being friends and lovers and see where we go from there?”

Grinning, Kurama leaned closer. “I see you managed to keep the ‘lover’ in our new relationship.”

Closing the distance between them Yusuke claimed Kurama’s lips. When they pulled apart there was a distinct bulge under the sheet in Yusuke’s lap. Glancing down Yusuke grinned at Kurama. “I’m hungry Kurama, for food and for fox.”

Kurama swallowed hard. “Why don’t we start with food and work up to fox Yusuke?”

Wanting to tease his new boyfriend a little Yusuke stood up allowing the sheet to slip away. He grinned when he saw Kurama’s mouth hanging open and green eyes lock on his erection. When Kurama would have reached for him Yusuke stepped out of reach. “I’m going to grab a quick shower then you can treat me to breakfast.”

As Yusuke went into the bathroom he could hear Kurama call out. “Tease!”

By the time Kurama heard the shower turn on his clothes were once again scattered on the floor. Pulling back the shower curtain he found Yusuke grinning at him. “What took you so long Lover?”

Seeing Yusuke wet and aroused Kurama didn’t answer as he pushed the younger man against the shower wall and pressed their bodies together. If Yusuke thought Kurama was passionate in the submissive role he was in for a treat with him in the dominant role.

Kurama’s mouth and hands seemed to be everywhere at once. When ever Yusuke tried to reach for him Kurama pushed his hands away. Keeping Yusuke pinned against the shower wall Kurama kissed and touched his way down his body eliciting whimpers and moans from the brunette.

When Kurama was kneeling at his feet Yusuke’s heart was nearly pounding out of his chest. It wasn’t like he hadn’t had a blow job before but somehow he knew what Kurama was about to do to him would blow away anything Keiko had ever done.

Yusuke watched enthralled as Kurama lifted one of his feet until it rested on the opposite side of the tub. This left him fully exposed but he didn’t care as he watched Kurama reach for him. Holding him at the base Kurama’s green eyes gazed up at him as he began licking the erection he held like a popsicle.

With a deep moan Yusuke threw his head back hitting the shower wall. Almost immediately Kurama stopped. Looking down Yusuke saw that Kurama was waiting for him to keep watching. As soon as their eyes met Kurama took him deep into his mouth. Yusuke gasped but didn’t look away for fear that Kurama would stop and that was the last thing Yusuke wanted.

Kurama’s mouth was wet and hot as his tongue stroked and swirled his lover’s sex. Yusuke could almost see Kurama grin around the cock in his mouth as he began bobbing and sucking. Just when Yusuke thought it couldn’t get any better he realized Kurama’s fingers were stroking inside him.

With nothing to hold onto but the smooth tile walls Yusuke buried a hand in Kurama’s hair. He was surprised when Kurama’s motions slowed almost to a stop. Using the hand he had in Kurama’s hair he encouraged the redhead to continue. It took him a moment but finally Yusuke realized Kurama wanted him to take control. Tightening his hand he forced Kurama’s mouth down on him. It wasn’t long before he was thrusting his hips back and forth, pleasuring himself in Kurama’s mouth and on his fingers. “Gods Kurama, your mouth is so fucking hot. Suck harder Fox!”

Empowered with controlling his own pleasure it took only a few minutes before Yusuke’s vision went white and with a scream, released his passion down Kurama’s throat. If Kurama wasn’t holding him Yusuke would have collapsed. A moment later Yusuke gasped as Kurama stood and swiftly took him.

At first Kurama’s movements were designed to draw out Yusuke’s pleasure but it wasn’t long before their bodies were pounding together and both men were crying out their climax. Together they slid down into the tub. Sated Yusuke held Kurama to him and teased. “That was so awesome the way you made me watch you Kurama. Since you had me for breakfast does that me I get you for lunch?”

Kurama laughed. “Is that your way of telling me you’re still hungry Yusuke?”

Still sprawled together on the bottom of the tub Yusuke reached for the soap. “Yeah, because I still haven’t had my Fox yet.”

XXXXX

Kurama’s step was light as he walked towards his lover’s apartment. It had been two weeks since he and Yusuke had agreed to pursue a relationship. Even though he would always love another, his feelings for Yusuke were quickly growing into love as well. Though his thoughts were never far from his former lover, for Yusuke’s sake Kurama tried to put his memory where it belonged, in the past.

With a smile Kurama pulled out the key Yusuke had given him to his apartment. Yusuke didn’t have to work today so Kurama had left work early in order to surprise his lover. Letting himself into the apartment Kurama found the main room empty. Looking toward the bedroom he smiled when he saw movement through the crack in the door. With any luck Yusuke would already be in some state of undress and they could start the afternoon with a little fun.

“Hey Lover I…” Moving into the bedroom Kurama was startled to find himself only half right. Yusuke was there wearing only a towel as if he had just gotten out of the shower but apparently the fun he’d been having wasn’t with him. Standing in the circle of his lover’s arms was another man.

“Hiei!” At Kurama’s choked whisper both men jumped apart.

Seeing the distressed look on his lover’s face Yusuke turned to him. “Kurama, it’s not what you think…”

Something in Kurama’s eyes made Yusuke stop. The pain he saw in those green eyes wasn’t directed at him but at Hiei. One glance at the look of longing in Hiei’s eyes told Yusuke all he needed to know. “Aw hell!”

Yusuke reached for his jeans as his friends continued to stare at each other. With his pants on Yusuke threw the towel aside and turned to Kurama. “Kurama…”

Green eyes snapped in his direction before turning back to Hiei. “It was YUSUKE?! Of all the people in the three worlds you could have screwed you had to pick him?!”

When Hiei didn’t speak Yusuke tried to reach out to Kurama but was cut off when the redhead turned on him. “How could I have been so stupid? I taught you how to seduce my own lover! I trusted you! I trusted both of you and now you’ve both betrayed me!”

Hiei finally moved, directing his anger at Kurama. “You’re one to speak Fox! How long did you wait before you took him as your lover… a day… a week? You claim to love me then the moment I’m gone you jumped right into his bed!”

Kurama’s pain was quickly turning to anger. “How dare you?! You’re the one that broke up with me! You’re the one that cheated on me! I waited a month for you to come back Hiei! In fact if you’d bothered to climb in my window instead of your lover’s you’d have found that it’s still open, waiting for you to return to me!”

In Kurama’s anger he didn’t notice how his words hurt Yusuke. “Great! So that’s all I was to you Kurama?! Someone to sate your lust with while you waited for your two-timer boyfriend to return?!”

Something in Yusuke’s words took all the fight out of Kurama. As if defeated red hair curtained his face as he hung his head. Kurama’s voice when he spoke was soft and full of despair. “I can’t believe this is happening. No, that’s not all you were to me. Even though I will always love Hiei… I loved you too Yusuke.”

Without looking at either of them Kurama turned and fled the apartment. Hiei and Yusuke stared at each other for several moments before Yusuke ran out of the apartment. A split second later Hiei flitted out the window. They found Kurama a block from the apartment. His head was still down but he was no longer running. Approaching him carefully they both called out. “Fox!” “Kurama!”

Both men were suddenly thrown back at a sudden burst of Kurama’s energy. Hiei was thrown against a tree as Yusuke skidded through the grass before landing on his ass. Though Kurama didn’t turn to face them his words were very clear. “Stay the hell away from me! I don’t want to see either of you ever again!”

Without looking back Kurama walked away. A few blocks away he stopped not sure where he was going. Deciding that he couldn’t go back to his apartment he turned in the direction of his mother’s house. It was early and his stepfather wouldn’t be home yet. Shiori was the one person he had openly talked to about both Hiei and Yusuke.

Slipping into his childhood home Kurama found his mother at the table on the laptop he’d given her for her birthday. Looking up she saw him and started to smile but her smile faded when she saw his face. Jumping up she reached out to hug him. “Shuuichi, what’s wrong?”

At first he didn’t speak but allowed the warmth of her hug to surround him. After a moment he pulled back to look at her sadly. “It was Yusuke.”

Confused, Shiori helped him into a chair before sitting next to him. “What’s happened with Yusuke Sweetheart?”

Kurama looked down at where his hands rested on the table. “Hiei. The affair Hiei had was with Yusuke. Apparently they’re seeing each other again.”

Reaching out, Shiori stroked his hair. “Oh Shuuichi, no.”

Before Shiori could do any more to console her son a snide voice was heard from the kitchen door. “How typical. Sounds like you’ve finally got what you deserve for getting involved with those queers Shuuichi. I told you nothing good would come of that kind of unnatural relationship.”

Seeing his stepfather at the kitchen door Kurama had a hard time not cringing at his venomous words. Though Kurama had not hidden his sexual preference from his stepfather he was usually careful to only talk with Shiori about his lovers when he knew her new husband wouldn’t be around. Apparently Kurama wasn’t the only one to get off work early that day.

Before Kurama could respond however Shiori’s firm voice was snapping at her husband. “Kazuya that’s enough! I’ve told you I won’t have you criticizing my son for who he chooses to love!”

Kazuya Hatanaka rolled his eyes. “What they have isn’t love, it’s perverted lust! The boy needs to grow up Shiori. He can’t just keep doing whatever it is he wants. He has a responsibility to this family. The sooner he gives up his disgusting lifestyle and lives up to that responsibility the better!”

Standing, Kurama faced his stepfather. “Not again. Father, I thought we were through with this. I have repeatedly told you that there is nothing you can do that will make me marry your partner’s daughter. I will not work for your company and I won’t sell myself so that you can gain control of it.”

Before their argument could escalate Shiori stepped between them. “That’s enough, both of you! Kazuya, leave the boy alone. Shuuichi, why don’t we go upstairs where we can talk in private?”

Not allowing Shiori to take his hand Kurama turned away. “No Mother, there’s really nothing to talk about anyway. In a way Father got part of his wish. My relationships with both Hiei and Yusuke are over. Now if you’ll excuse me I think I should go.”

Shiori followed him to the door. “Shuuichi, I wish you wouldn’t leave like this but I do understand. If you need to talk…”

Wanting to reassure her Kurama leaned down and kissed Shiori’s cheek. “I know Mother. I’ll call you.”

Leaving his mother’s Kurama walked aimlessly for several hours. After making a stop at the hardware store he finally decided to go home. Entering his apartment he was both relieved and disappointed to find it empty.

Going first to his room Kurama closed and locked the bedroom window. With a heavy heart he flared his ki and the vines that grew near the window quickly covered it in a lattice pattern effectively barring it shut. Minutes later the other two windows in the apartment were sealed in the same manner.

After taking out a small tool box Kurama opened the new lock he had bought at the hardware store. Half an hour later Kurama raised his ki again giving the plants outside his front door orders similar to the ones he’d given the vines on the windows… Hiei and Yusuke were not welcome.

Without hesitation Kurama closed the door flipping the new lock into place.
