6 6 MEETING

Fuyu pounded loudly. He was afraid. Honestly scared. But his right arm embraced Aki even more tightly at that moment. Even when his wet body lay slowly on their bed. He let the hue spread all over the skin. The one displayed without a thread. And the cold thing that stood upright even though his thighs had tried to squeeze themselves together.

"Aki..."

Aki himself immediately took off his top which was slightly wet every time he bathed Fuyu. Throw it on the floor. Then just pressed his friend carefully.

Of course, Aki dodged Fuyu's fractured left arm and blue ankles.

"Again, it's not just your fault, hm?" whispered Aki when Fuyu started crying. No sound. And his cheeks were dripping with warm drops. "But it's my fault too. Point."

"A-Are you sure?"

Aki smiled faintly. Calm. "Weren't you my wife from the start?"

DEG

Fuyu almost forgot to breathe for a few seconds.

"Isn't that… just your joke?"

"At first," said Aki. He caressed his cheek gently. "But now we are almost graduating and entering high school. So is it a taboo subject in your opinion?"

"Shouldn't be," said Fuyu. "Friends, right—"

"That you understand."

"B-But we…"

"Same man. That's right," said Aki. "And you can hate me after this."

DEG

"W-What?"

Instead of answering. Aki actually kissed Fuyu so long. Until Fuyu himself flickered. Confused. Because this time he was forced to open his mouth and play with his tongue too. Not like before.

"Ahhh... mnhh..."

Aki looked lustful at that time. But he honestly looked at Fuyu. Not denying it and just repeating what was just once again.

Until when Fuyu started wheezing, Aki just locked her best friend between his arms. "Are you ready?"

Fuyu is silent. He just blushed and silently kneaded the sheets at that time.

Sign.

And Aki understands that. So he whispered as he started with a kiss on the forehead. "Tomorrow will never be the same," he said. Point to reality. "So just prepare all your regrets. I'll walk away if you don't like it in the end."

"Ummnnh..."

Fuyu closed his eyes.

Accept all those crazy touches.

Even merged.

With this one and only new friend.

Hiss.

Simultaneously.

Fill the room.

As if there was no tomorrow.

But Fuyu was silent when he was being looked at gently. Flooded inside at the peak. Not even fighting once even after being hugged tightly until morning. On top of those messy sheets and blankets. Together. They apparently woke up without as much regret as Aki had feared.

"Aki..."

Fuyu grabbed Aki's face and smiled faintly.

Aki lost his sense of tension slowly. "You are okay?"

"Um."

"Did I hurt you?"

Fuyu shook his head. "Not too."

"You want me to leave after this?" asked Aki. "I mean, changing rooms or something—"

"Don't," interrupted Fuyu subconsciously. "Just don't... I won't forgive you then."

"Is it true?"

Fuyu nodded. Then closed his eyes, when he realized he was about to be kissed.

"Um."

And that time has changed everything. They. The so-called friends. Friend. Or whatever.

Is it really just that?

.

.

.

Two days after.

Fuyu was confused when she saw a figure similar to Aki in front of him. Just woke up right. But 28 years older.

"Oh… I'm Ryuunosuke Takeda. Aki's father," Takeda said as he reached out. He looked fresh with the appearance of an executive lecturer at that time. "And you must be Kajima Fuyuki, the one who is called my son's wife?"

DEG

"What?"

In Takeda's hand was a spare key. Fuyu is convinced that this man is Aki's father. It's just… it still feels weird after hearing the last sentence from his mouth.

"So true..."

Instead of forcing Fuyu to shake his hand. The man smiled slightly and patted the top of his head gently. Before then sitting in a single chair next to his bed.

"Eh? ugh..."

"You've been marked apparently."

Fuyu froze when his reddened neck was briefly touched.

Not that it felt weird. The man just smiled as he looked at him.

"How many times has he fucked you?" he asked.

DEG

Unexpected question. Really.

"Mn... J-Just once?"

It was even weirder for him... who said that so casually even though it felt awkward from the start.

"Is it true? Hasn't he known you for almost three months?" Takeda chuckles. "He's been very patient this time..."

"Eh... what do you mean?"

"So you haven't told him anything?" Takeda asked back. "About my divorce?"

"... already," said Fuyu. "Aki said Mrs. Ryuunosuke and his brother are in Germany now."

"Then?"

"T-Then?" Fuyu confused. "He's studying very hard to speak German and wants to vacation there?"

"And?"

"Then... mn..." Fuyu muttered confusedly. "...eh?"

He reflexively froze when he felt Takeda approaching and kissed his forehead affectionately. Even grabbed his face silently and caressed his cheek gently.

"What an innocent child… hm…" Takeda muttered. "So this is the choice. Ha ha..."

"Um… why did you—"

"Call me Daddy."

DEG

"Hah?"

Takeda smiled. "And you've passed my censorship. Good, good..."

Unfortunately... not long after that Aki entered there. Just got back from archery practice. Seeing them that intimate. To the point of glaring at Takeda... not him.

"Father, don't bother him!" he said firmly. Then pulled Takeda slightly away from Fuyu.

"Aki... he's your father," said Fuyu worriedly. "Why did you-"

"Yes but he is dangerous. Don't let him get close to you," said Aki. Then glared at Takeda who just laughed at him. "Father... you been doing him before I came?" he asked urgently.

"Wow... well... I haven't seen you in a long time, but this is how you... how are you?" Takeda said.

Unexpectedly, Aki suddenly grabbed his collar.

"Hey, I'm serious."

Angry.

Making Fuyu really confused by the current situation. "Wait a minute, Aki—"

"As long as I just asked nicely... do you understand?"

And the situation continued until Takeda completely relented to tell him everything. Helped by Fuyu to explain that Takeda only kissed his forehead before asking to be called Dad.

Next, Fuyu just found out a core fact. And Aki certainly wouldn't tell him directly... when he just became his housemate. Namely the story behind his parents' divorce... Which turned out to be worse than he imagined at the time.

"That old man often sleeps with Brother when we are not at home," said Aki. After Takeda left left the gift box on the table. "That's why Mother chose to divorce and took her to Germany. While I'm here with Dad."

"I see…" Fuyu sighed. He looked at Aki and was curious. But silent and did not want to ask. Until Aki sensitive himself in the end.

"Father also often slept with me after that," explained Aki. As is. "But not as obsessed as he is with Big Brother. Because I'm just an outlet."

"So..."

"You have any questions?"

"Mn. Actually there is."

They looked.

"Just say it."

"So... actually why did your father say that to me?" asked Fuyu.

"Say like what?"

"You told me about me... to him?"

Aki was silent for a moment.

"Of course."

"I mean… you… call me wife or something," said Fuyu. blush. "And why did he tell me your choice was right."

Silent.

"Ah… I did say that I would find the right person since living alone," said Aki with a faint smile. "So Daddy won't bother me anymore if it's true."

"So..."

"Whether it's a boy or a girl."

Fuyu is silent.

So from the start he had entered into the scope of Aki's target. It's too bad if he don't realize it. No wonder his friend had opened his hands since the first day. Call it a life partner instead.

"Are you sorry?"

When asked that, Fuyu was confused. Because under normal circumstances, it should be. But in fact he couldn't imagine if Aki wasn't by his side right now.

"Mn. Not really."

"Is it true?"

Fuyu didn't answer, but he grabbed Aki's nape this time. Reply to kiss him after all this time being only the recipient.

"Regret or not…" Fuyu sighed. "For sure I'm really happy to have you, Aki."

Aki was stunned at that time. And touched his freshly kissed lips.

Not what. Because it was Fuyu who started this time.

"So..."

Aki smiled faintly. While Fuyu hugged him with one hand. as much as possible.

"Yes."

"Good..." Aki sighed in relief. "Really good… then."
