Previous Part: Part 1


Truth: Part 2


It was a moment frozen in time.

Takanori’s legs were practically shaking as he stood hunched over, eyes sealed shut with a phantom force, hands breaking out in a light sweat and grasping tightly onto Kai’s tense, sinking shoulders. The elder’s back was still pressed firmly against the wall, and even with his eyes shut, Taka could sense the shaggy haired man’s own were wide open, mocha irises glowing from the florescent lighting of the office and brows shot up to his forehead.

Their lips were against each other’s; Kai’s dry, cracking, and drawn taut straight after having felt the younger’s tongue unexpectedly flick inside, while the teen’s plump pair rested slightly ajar; pink slick muscle prodding gently at Kai’s opposing pair and desperately begging for re-entry but being flat out denied.

With only the minimal sample he’d gotten, Takanori could tell he was hooked. He could practically taste the leaves the mint was made from; summer rain making it sweet, moist, and refreshing. A thousand and one flavors of spearmint were exploding at the tip of his tongue, but still, he was able to decipher a flavor that was uniquely Kai; something he knew he could never find anyplace else.

The moment was frozen, and all he wanted to do was press play and continue; delve into that warm mouth his own rested upon – not even the usual centimeters keeping them apart, only a thin layer of flesh and skin—and simply lose himself in that taste of mint and truth. But he knew the second he moved his lips again, Kai would freeze up, possibly even push him away. And so he stood still in the archaically long moment, his pose frozen in place, unsure if he were even still breathing.

The ticking of the clock near the roof could be heard, the small sound bold and thunderous in the aloof quiet, it sounding just as Taka’s heart was feeling. Thump thump, thump thump. It was palpitating hard and fast and he feared he would pass out at any second. The pressure was too much, his knees now quaking. Slowly he began to open his eyes, and slowly the image of shocked Kai came into view. The perfect picture made his heart beat quicker…

A knock at the door had their eyes widening even more, yet neither one pulled away, only listened with burning ears as one of the assistants informed Kai that his next appointment was in fifteen minutes. No reply was given, the quiet so much that both Taka and Kai were able to hear the footsteps of the assistant walk away, once more leaving them in their land of frozen and still.

Eventually, Kai’s hands could be seen moving, obviously reaching forward in an attempt to calmly push Taka away, but the stubborn teen wasn’t about to let him win, and instead begrudgingly pulled away from the barely-a-kiss, refusing to put any distance between them as he sunk onto Kai’s lap, hands still resting on the dentist’s shoulders.

“T-taka…how long?” Kai’s tone was shushed, shock still evident on his features and hands awkwardly moving about, trying to find a spot to put them now that the teen was taking up all of his personal space.

The younger huffed, yanking Kai’s arms down and placing his fidgeting hands on his own skinny thighs; fingers locked as he forced tanned hands to run up and down his fleshy skin, causing a slight growl to emit from plush lips. “A really long fucking time.”

The tender touch was forced; unwillingly, but to Takanori it was wondrous. Those tanned and veiny hands he’d fantasized touching him for years were finally doing just that and his heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest. His body was hot, insanely so, and he could only imagine what the touch would feel like unclothed…

“But, Taka…why?” Kai strained to pull his hands from the teen’s tight hold, but when he eventually did, he didn’t keep them to himself like Taka was expecting. Instead, he gently smoothed them up the smaller’s face, resting his wide palms on bulbous sides, the pads of deft fingers rubbing just above prominent cheek bone.

Takanori gasped at the intimate touch, his body shuddering and mouth falling open, desperately longing to press his lips to Kai’s again, already feeling deprived. “What kind of stupid question is that? I thought you were a doctor, shouldn’t you be able to put two and two together?” his voice didn’t have any of its usual strength, it practically a whisper as he held back on his urges.

Kai didn’t know it, but he was breaking Takanori from the inside out. Taka had known he’d wanted the dentist for a long while, but these small touches proved to be much more than want…it was a practical need. He couldn’t walk away from here knowing he had a chance. He had to do something that would put his mark in the competition between fiancée and himself and he had to be the winner.

“Taka…we can’t.”

Another unexpected remark from the shaggy haired. Takanori felt those hands begin to slide down his face, palms that still smelt of latex grabbing ahold of his shoulders again and pushing away lightly. He knew Kai was trying to put some distance between them, but the dentist’s words were on a constant cycle in his mind set. ‘We can’t…we can’t…’

“You say we can’t, so does that mean you want?”

The man beneath him practically trembling on the stool gave Taka the answer he was looking for. Since he was a kid, Kai had been his unvarnished faith – he couldn’t hide anything from him. The night of his marriage announcement, Taka had known there was something wrong without the elder having told him anything. At dinner just last night, he could tell how unnerved Kai felt about the sleazy woman by his side. And now, now Taka could see right through Kai – this wasn’t just a one-sided want of affection. Kai wanted him just as bad as he wanted Kai, and with that realization, Takanori felt light headed.

God, Taka,” a pained hiss, Kai’s hands moving lower and squeezing Taka’s fleshy sets of upper arm and settling his face into the younger’s neck, Takanori able to feel the dentist’s eyes flutter shut against warm skin as he inhaled a deep breath. “I don’t think you even need to ask that. Of course I want you…but, we can’t. It’s so wrong. You’re just a kid and I’m – I’m engaged…”

Kai sounded almost ashamed of himself, and for once, Takanori was at a loss for words. He had never even thought of their age difference as being a problem. Those eleven years seemed like nothing to him, simply because he and Kai had always gotten along so well that they seemed like they had been the best of friends for eternity. In his eyes, the only obstacle that stood between them was that sleaze he forcefully had labeled as fiancée.

He couldn’t speak, couldn’t think, and couldn’t protest even as Kai slid him off his lap and stood, heading towards the exit of the office. But he wasn’t going to allow it to happen, he wasn’t going to let Kai walk away. He was going to follow through on his statement of always getting what he wanted…

The dentist’s hand had just fully wrapped around the door knob and began turning it when Taka grabbed ahold of the bend of his arm, pushing the elder into the door and preventing him from opening it; Kai’s back against the door and Takanori sneering up into his face.

“You’re engaged to a woman you don’t even like,” he moved closer, “Engaged, not married. I’ve still got my chances.”

And before Kai could protest, the smaller boy smashed their lips together for the second time that day – this go around the dentist giving into any refusal and allowing their tongues to mix and mingle.

It was instantaneous, the way both of their bodies melted together. Kai’s hands fell and wrapped their way around Taka’s small hips, the later scrolling up and lacing short fingers into shaggy hair, yanking the dentist’s head to the side so he could deepen their needy kiss.

Lips smacked, tongues twirled, and illicit groans fell from the pairs of hungry lips; Taka’s deep and scratchy and Kai’s rough and longing.

Kai’s hands moved to the small of the teen’s back, pulling his small body roughly against his and Takanori moaning deeply; breath stolen as Kai’s tongue continued lapping and massaging his own, that warm build up in Taka’s stomach appearing again – the factor attributing to that said warmth now completely known.

The elder’s taste was all around him; intoxicating and making him crave more. Every time he'd been attracted to Kai and was forced to keep it to himself, every time he'd wondered what Kai would feel like pressed against him…it all came back at him in an overwhelming wave of desire.

Swallowing every muffled moan, he dragged his fingers down and dug them into hard, muscular arms, flipping their positions with haste so he was the one against the door. One hand slid back up and dug back into those shaggy locks, ripping Kai’s head back and continuing to explore the dentist’s mouth with warm tongue, as the other dropped down and began fumbling with a belt, button, and zipper; eventually freeing Kai’s erection.

Again, the dentist hissed, his aching arousal hitting the cool air being almost painful. But within seconds Takanori’s hand was wrapped around the hardened flesh, stroking and tearing a hectic groan from kiss swollen lips.

Taka,” he was completely breathless, breaking the kiss that needed to be broken. Everything was happening too fast in less than appropriate places. They needed to talk things through…this wasn’t right. “S-stop, we need to stop…”

But then that soft hand was firmly squeezing his arousal, emitting another growl from his thin lips and sending his body into a small arch. “No,” Takanori whispered possessively against Kai’s ear, one arm wrapping around his waist and pulling him into a close hold as the other continued stroking Kai’s erection.

He couldn’t stop. He wouldn’t stop. He had to make sure Kai wouldn’t wave this all off as nothing, he needed assurance, and in his lust fogged mind this was the only way to properly claim that emotional safety.

Pushing off the door and backing Kai against the wall decorated by his doctorate degree, his hand continued stroking the dentist’s length. Breaking the kiss but putting no distance between their lips, they panted against each other's mouths, hot breaths mingling and the teen’s shaded eyes grazing up and meeting Kai’s half lidded ones; speeding up his strokes and leaving Kai breathless and unable to stop the younger’s actions.

With each stroke, Taka moved in closer. His slightly spread legs eventually pressed up against one of Kai’s firm thighs and grinded his arousal against the clothed skin, sending both their mouths open in hefty sighs; Takanori being touched informally for the first time and Kai getting his first sample of what the young blond had to offer.

Heavy lids refused to close, shaggy hair falling partially in the midst of Kai’s sight making his scrunched up features all the more sensual. Takanori continued to grind his encased erection against Kai’s thigh, fingers never faulting in speed with the fast strokes as his breathing became heavy; beads of sweat beginning to appear on both their faces.

Their slits for eyes continued boring in to each other as the level of pleasure built up higher and higher; moans coming deeper, faster, and harder until they couldn’t handle the intense stare down any longer and sealed their lips back together in a torrid kiss.

Grinding, stroking, and tongue lapping combined, it was only seconds later Takanori had to finally give in– his erection spurting beads of come out into his boxers. Grinding coming to a complete halt and jagged breaths lamenting the moist skin of Kai’s neck, he leaned against the dentist heavily as he finished him off with a few rough tugs.

When Kai came, Taka was still nearly senseless, but the sight he saw was burned into his mind for eternity. Kai dazzled lightly in sweat, hair covering his face and chest falling and rising with near languid speed, teeth biting on his lower lip in an attempt to silent himself, and an almost halo hued glow around him. Kai was simply beautiful.

For minutes they just stood there catching their breaths. Taka was using Kai for any and all support and the only reason Kai hadn’t fallen over was because of the wall behind him. The teen’s face was buried against Kai’s chest, the hand not caked with come wrapped tightly in the elder’s scrubs.

“Taka, I-”

Another knock at the door interrupted the start of Kai’s still breathless statement, the same assistant informing him that there was now only five minutes until his next appointment.

Not wanting to ruin anything that had happened by allowing him to speak, Taka pressed a quick peck to swollen lips, only to pull back with his eyes still on the dentist. He made sure Kai understood exactly what he was quietly saying as he tucked the elder back into his pants and wiped his come stained hand off on the inner section of his boxers; eyes never once leaving each other’s even as he took a few moments to straighten himself out before exiting the room with a quirky pace to his step.

The grin on his lips didn’t die down until he got home and lay on his futon, the extraneous events from today putting him into a peaceful rest quite quickly.

It was only when he awoke and saw his cell phone blinking did he realize Kai had indeed understood his message of silence.

We need to talk. Meet me at Nariwa Lake tomorrow. 12 o’clock. –Kai

And the meeting did happen the next day, but no talking had taken place. Instead the pair ended up rolling around in the grassy bank of Nariwa Lake, kissing heavily and grinding against each other until they came with just as much explosion and fireworks from the day prior. Another meet up was planned for the next day, this time in a more public setting where they would be forced to keep their hands off of each other, but again, no talking had taken place. Instead Takanori ended up plastered next to Kai on his side of the booth in the small diner, palming the dentist under the table top, ending with them both jammed in the tight space of a bathroom stall with Takanori on his knees, finishing the elder off with his ever talented mouth.

Before they knew it, these small meetings of rendezvous had stretched out into an entire month. No talking of their relationship or Kai’s rapidly approaching marriage; just sucking, stroking, and fucking.

When they did talk, it was only the kind of talking that brought them closer. Kai continuing to ramble about his childhood and Takanori always listening intently. He could never get enough of Kai’s voice and the sincere stories it always had to tell.

Another month passed, Takanori now 18, and they having finally christened the reclining chair in Kai’s office and the teen’s futon at home. The monthly dinners they now actually attended with joy, Kai having somehow changed his usual spot from across Takanori at the dinner table to right beside him. The thrill they got from something as simple as holding hands under the table, to not so innocently touching each other as Kai’s fiancée sat across from them with not a clue in the world as to what was going, on only made them feel giddy and slightly rebellious and it always added to the intensity that that night’s rounds of sex would have.

Everyone around them was proud of Takanori, his visits to the Uke’s dentistry having decreased to almost nothing. They praised him and gave him pats on the back, telling him that it was a good thing he decided to clean up his act and stop fighting with graduation nearing only three months away. What they didn’t know is that his visits hadn’t stopped at all. In fact, they’d increased to almost daily. He and Kai had lucked out in having the same lunch hour of noon, so every day Takanori would sneak off campus during his free hour and visit Kai’s empty office.

There were days where all they did was kiss and cuddle, but then there were also the days of nothing but raw fucking for an hour straight. In between those days of passion and affection were the days they both seemingly enjoyed the most – the days where they sat down, ate lunch together, and talked.

Of course they didn’t talk about what needed to be talked about, but instead only what they wanted to talk about. What universities Taka had applied to, who’d been Kai’s worst patient of the day, what they wanted to do that weekend. It seemed like they had fallen into the ropes of a real couple, something that elated Takanori, yet scared him at the same time.

At the beginning, he was never expecting to have developed such intense feelings for Kai. A mere infatuation that a quick fuck would get out of the way. But with every meet up, every time they had sex, and talked, and did absolutely nothing together…he found himself falling into an abyss of emotions he’d never experienced before.

It was the best and worst feeling in the world at the same time, and he being unsure of how everything would end constantly tore at his mind and soul. Kai was no longer just his place of honesty nor someone he was extremely attracted to. He was no longer his dopey dentist or the family friend he had over for dinner on a monthly basis. No, he was so much more, and as Kai’s wedding date edged to being only a month away, the teen came to a huge realization.

Takanori was eighteen years old when he found out Kai was the one he was completely and hopelessly in love with.



F-fuck, Kai-”

They were back at Nariwa Lake. What had started out as an innocent spring time swim quickly turned into Taka and Kai both completely void of their swimming trunks; the teen’s pale body sprawled out on the flat surface of one of the many smooth rock pillars located in the center of the lake. Water continued to splash all around him as Kai’s naked body hovered above, his fingers working on a constant rhythm of in and out and side to side, stretching the teen’s entrance teasingly.

Every time a lecherous sigh, moan, or plead left his plush mouth, Takanori found Kai’s fingers would linger and sink deeper, giving a practical massage to his prostate and silencing him with the overwhelming amount of pleasure he was receiving.

“Kai, just fuck me already, please…” his body spasmed as Kai began sucking on his neck, deducing him into a quivering semblance of a person, nails grating down tanned back.

Water splashed back over his body, but it did nothing to cool Takanori, Kai’s hot breath against his neck, followed by the elder pulling away and showing him that pearly white grin mixed with nothing but longing desire and a hint of deviousness sending a soaring heat from head to toe.

Hmm, but does Taka-chan deserve to get what he wants?”

Taka groaned. “I say he better damn well please get what the fuck he wants unless a certain teeth scrubber wants to permanently stop receiving the best head he’s ever had.”

Kai smiled before beginning to lay kisses down Takanori’s chest, his mouth mumbling his next question against wet skin and in between each kiss. “Who says you’re the best? I went to a complete party university – do you know how many people you have to compete against?”

A nip was placed to his belly at the same time Kai thrust his fingers back against the teen’s bundle of sensitive nerves, sending him arching slightly off the slab of rock and hissing in delight.

“So you were a little slut back in Uni? What else aren’t you telling me?” Kai made his way down to pale thighs, sucking on that small section where leg met groin and causing Taka to feel extremely feverish. “And I’ve heard your moans as I suck you…I know there’s no way you’ve ever made those noises for anyone else…”

Kai laughed, looking up at Takanori as he slid his fingers from the teen’s entrance and leveled them face to face, “I wasn’t a slut, just really experimental. And, you’re right,” a moist tongue flicked out and traced the arcs of Taka’s lips before a quick peck was placed to them, “You do have the best cock sucking lips in town.”

Takanori scuffed, sounding offended, “In town?”

“Fine, in the world.”

Another scuff.

“In the universe?”

Scuff.

“The galaxy?”

No scuff this time, only a smirk as Taka laced his hands around the other’s neck and brought their lips close. “That’s more I like it,” he nuzzled their foreheads together, kissing the corner of Kai’s mouth, before practically demanding; “Now, fuck me.”

And Kai did.

His hard cock slid into the teen’s laxed entrance with zero resistance, his thrusts instantly hard and deep as Takanori’s pale legs wrapped around his body, bringing him in closer as hammering walls clenched around the dentist’s hard length, bringing undying pleasure to the both of them.

Kai’s speed remained constant the entire time, Takanori’s back sliding against the slick rock with each thrust and eyes closing as he basked in everything that was Kai. Their lips connected, the kiss nothing hurried like Kai’s thrust, but instead sweet and slow, and every time Kai’s length brushed his prostate, Taka felt as if he’d black out; the intensity of being so close and involved with the person he silently loved with all his heart too overwhelming for him to bear.

Taka’s usually verbal pleas fell completely quiet, the teen biting his lip to stop the extraordinary pleasure from leaving his body. He wanted to keep it with him forever and always, and he figured he was doing just that by not allowing the rest of the world to hear just how good Kai felt.

Kai’s vigorous thrusts slowed some in speed, his lips lifting from pale neck and dusting over a heavily pierced ear, “Taka-baby, what’s wrong? Are you ok?” his words were strained, it obviously hard for him to slow down and take the time to see why the usual fireball had quieted to such extremities. But the point was he did take the time, and Takanori’s sure that that short question made him fall even deeper in love.

“I’m—I’m fine…it’s just…” a hand was lifted to Kai’s cheek, gazes connecting and all hints of lust completely gone – a new sensation taking over, “Kai, make love to me.”

And of course, Kai did.

After minutes of intimate touches and one of the best rounds of sex they’d ever had, they lay on the slab of rock a panting mess. Arms and legs tangled together in heaps and Taka’s head laying on Kai’s rapidly beating chest, stroking the cool water droplets off tanned skin.

Kai’s face was buried in overly bleached hair, fingers twirling around the damp, loose ends and his other hand tracing patterns on Taka’s water washed and slightly scratched up back.

The moment was serene and the timing seemed perfect, so carefully Takanori lifted his head and found Kai’s relaxed features. His heart was deceiving him by pumping so fast, he swearing up and down that Kai could hear it and that that’s what gave him away; “Kai…?”

“Yeah?”

Taka took a deep breath, “I…I…never mind…”

“You what?” Kai opened his eyes, spying the small blush across the teen’s rounded cheeks.

“It’s nothing.” Takanori insisted, “Just forget I said anything…”

“Alright,” the elder laid back down, one eye closing and the other remaining half way open, catching the offended look Taka threw his way for stopping so readily in questioning just what it was he wanted to know. Snorting, he pulled Taka onto his chest, pressing a kiss to his temple before murmuring in his ear.

“I love you too, Taka-chan.”

Takanori kissed him.



Two weeks after their confessions, the talk they’d needed to have since the start of their relationship was finally had.

It was a Saturday night, the couple having just finished up dinner, a movie, and a rather subdued walk through town. These date nights have become more and more prominent the past few weeks, Takanori ignoring the studying he should be doing for his upcoming exams and Kai ditching any and all wedding related events. It was always a place of seclusion, such as the lake, or Taka’s home they found themselves at after their dates; the teen’s mother almost never there recently due to her schedule change at work giving her the night shift.

Never before had it been Kai’s own home, but for some reason, that all changed tonight.

Takanori hadn’t before been in Kai’s home, his parent’s house always having been the one to host the dinner parties. But as he stepped into the overly Western designed house tonight with Kai’s lips attached to his neck, he felt like he was walking into something close and familiar. It wasn’t Kai, Kai’s family, and his own mother sitting on the other side of the door, but instead it was complete silence. Only he and Kai and it just felt…right.

Back pinned against the wall of the genkan, Taka tilted his head back in decadence, fully enjoying the nippy treatment Kai was playing out on his neck. Thin lips pressing eagerly against pale skin, tongue lapping out and leaving wet trails, mouth sucking deeply to ensure a hickey would form; it was a treatment that had happened a lot more than a handful of times over the past months, and Takanori didn’t see himself getting sick of it any time soon.

His palms encased the back of Kai’s neck, their noses touching and the tease lacing his sudden question; “What the hell happened to the dopey dentist who didn’t even like me mentioning the word ‘masturbate’ around him?”

A hissed moan followed as Kai bit down on his neck harshly; speaking huskily against the sensitive skin. “He was all an act.”


It didn’t take long for a trail of clothing to form after them, the pair ending up on Kai’s bed in a mess of limbs. A blow job a piece and a round of proper sex later, and their sweaty chests were connected, arms wrapped tightly around each other, kissing tenderly.

Taka soothed his hands down Kai’s back, grasping the other’s firm cheeks and causing the elder to break the kiss with a carnal growl.

“Haven’t you had enough?” Kai chuckled lightly, placing a peck to the teen’s cheek and pulling him closer.

Taka grinned, falling deeper and deeper into the hold, “I could never have enough of you. Your cock is huge and awfully addicting.”

Another laugh, “Is my dick the only thing that’s keeping you around?”

“Hmm,” Takanori looked up, a devilish glint in his eyes as he untangled from the hold and straddled Kai’s waist, rubbing his hands up and down tan, lean stomach. “No, definitely not just the dick. You have an amazing body and fuck with the energy of a jack rabbit.”

Leaning up, Kai smiled, “At least I know I’m keeping you sated.” those precious laugh lines showed even in the barley lit room, and Takanori still felt his heart flutter even after all this time.

“In more ways than you know.” It was a serious response, no tease added, and it seemed they both understood just what Takanori meant when their lips met again.

“I could say the same.” Kai was forever earnest, his words dripping in sincerity and dazzling smile verifying it.

After sharing one last heated kiss, they collapsed into the sheets; too tired to move, but Taka never too tired to think.

He lay horizontally on the bed, head against Kai’s stomach as the dentist worked on some papers from the office and figured out his scheduled drillings for the week. As great as their evening had been, Takanori was curious about a few things, and his mind refused to let him rest until he figured them out.

Flipping into his stomach and pillowing his arms under his chin, he dully asked; “Why did we come to your place tonight?”

“I figured it’d be nice to finally christen the only place we haven’t fucked on yet,” a smirk, “besides, your futon is no good for my old man body and I’m sure the public is getting sick of our open displays of screwing.”

Rolling his eyes, Taka shrugged his shoulders. “They should feel honored getting to see us fuck. We’re pure art; almost like a Picasso piece.”

“Depressive and moody?”

“No, more like limbs stretched in to places they shouldn’t be and never afraid of trying anything new.”

Kai laughed. “How are you so adventurous anyways? You told me I was you first everything.”

“You were…but I’ve been dreaming about your fingers being anywhere else but my mouth for years, and now that they’re mine, I want to feel them and everything else you have to offer in every way possible – so yeah, I’m going to be pretty fuckin’ adventurous.”

At the mention of the dentist’s fingers, Taka’s eyes flickered down, his joyful mood automatically sinking upon skimming across the gold piece of jewelry that had made its way to Kai’s left hand a few weeks back. The dentist has insisted that it was only for show and usually took it off whenever he was around Taka, but apparently tonight had been the night that the menial piece slipped his mind and now there it was proudly on display and crushing Takanori’s heart.

To the teen, the ring represented a fault in Kai’s overwhelming truth; it was a part of Kai’s life he knew next to nothing about. The only thing he truly knew that was in less than a month, that ring was meant to take Kai away from him by marrying him off to some woman he didn’t care about – information that once more set that uncomfortable wave of heat off in his stomach.

“You’re ridicu—Taka? What’s wrong?” Kai’s hand reached out to cup his cheek, but Takanori pulled away, sitting up straight and eyes on the sheets.

“Kai…what are we doing? You’re getting married in two weeks…”

A sigh. “Taka…we’ll work things out, I promise. I’ll tell my dad I can’t go through with it...he might understand…”

“If you can get out of it so easily, why didn’t you say anything to him sooner?”

Kai bit his lip; nervous. “I don’t know how he’ll react. Dad has always been good at hiding his emotions. He might accept our relationship and be ok with canceling the wedding, or…he’ll want nothing to do with me anymore.”

“Do you seriously think him finding out that you canceled your wedding because you’re too busy fucking an eighteen year old is going to make him happy?”

Taka scuffed sarcastically, trying to hide the pain tearing him apart on the inside. He knew where this was heading…

“Honestly? No. That’s why I haven’t said anything. I need to save-”

Taka wasn’t going to put up with it. Before moving to Okayama all those years ago, he’d had to deal with his father’s fake affections of love. He wasn’t going to take that from Kai…

“Kai, just shut up and listen. I was accepted to Tokyo University and the local college here in Okayama. If you marry her, I'm going to Tokyo. If you don't, I'm staying here. So you tell me right now…where will I end up?”

Silence. A silence that seemed to drag on forever, Taka’s heart racing irrationally fast. And then Kai was grabbing his hand looking at him with down casted eyes. “Taka…there’s no future for you here…”

What?

“Go to Tokyo…”

Kai went on to further explain, but the breaking of Takanori’s heart muffled anything the dentist had to say. Before he knew it, he was dressed and running out of Kai’s house, the only things left behind being his hand print on Kai’s cheek and the shattered pieces of his heart.

Takanori was eighteen years old and a week away from graduation when he found out his place of truth was tainted with untamable lies.



“You have to go. It’s the last party of our freshman year.”

Tokyo was exactly how Takanori had remembered it. Tall buildings, busy streets, and a cluster of air pollution so large that any and all untruths became hidden as he faced off against civilians. It hadn’t taken him long to get back into the swing of things, but even after a year of being back in the city, he found himself unable to stop hating all the people around him. Forged smiles and acts of kindness; it disgusted him.

“Aoi, just go with Rei and Uru. They’ll drag your drunk ass back home just like they have with every other party; you don’t need me to go.”

“I know I don’t need you to go, but I want you to go. I haven’t managed to drag you to any parties all year long. I’d look like a shitty dorm mate if I didn’t manage to convince you to go to the big finale.”

The book Taka was reading was thrown onto his bed, his face sour. “No. I’m not going.”

“Yes. You. Are.” Aoi insisted, digging through his closet and throwing clothes out for Taka to try on.

“No. I’m. Not.”

“You’re right, you’re not.”

A irritated sigh. “YES I AM.”

Aoi turned, a cheeky grin on his face, and Taka realized how stupid he was for falling for his dorm mate’s trick of play on words. He wanted to punch that swift bastard.

“Fine, fine! You’re going! No need to scream~.”

Even when Aoi turned around, Taka could still see his grin, and all he could think was at least there’d be alcohol and he’d be able to properly ignore everybody.


And plenty of alcohol there had been, for the next day when Takanori woke up on the cold walkway of cement surrounding the pool, his head was pounding and everything was swore. Sluggishly he stood, only to wobble on his feet and almost make a practical dive into a now discolored chlorinated water.

A few feet to the left of him he spotted Reita and Uruha dog piled on top of each other, both equally passed out and sure enough to wake up with a headache ten times worse than Taka’s own, and when he turned in the actual direction of the house, he found Aoi walking towards him.

A damp cloth was presented to him, followed by a frozen bag of peas, and it was only after he accepted the two strange items from Aoi did he realize his headache wasn’t just from his hangover.

“I swear I’ll pay whatever price it is to get it fixed, just don’t be too pissed at me…”

And there it was, that all too familiar taste of iron in his mouth and a vaguely empty space where his capped molar should reside.



They’d ended up at a dentist office a few miles from whosever’s house it was that threw the party, and after filling out the all tedious paperwork for being a first time patient, Taka sat next to Aoi, the bag of peas resting gently against his jaw.

“I’m so sorry Taka, but you were having such a good time dancing and before I knew it you were falling and crashing against the ce-”

“Aoi?”

“Yeah?”

“Just…shut up.”

Half an hour later and Takanori’s name was being called, he walking back into the office space and making himself comfortable on the high rise seat. He sat there for ten minutes, trying to force his headache away with closed eyes, the bag of peas still resting against his jaw.

He hadn’t been to the dentist since Kai. Just as he hadn’t talked to the dopey doctor since the day he left – the day after his graduation. It was too painful to stay miserable in the place where he was once nothing but happy, and he knew that if he’d stayed around even a second too long after graduation, his mother would have forced him to attend Kai’s wedding; something he knew he couldn’t possibly do.

Kai had shown up to his graduation, but of course Taka had ignored him. Just as he’d ignored all the calls and text messages the shaggy haired sent him after he left. He knew Kai was there trying to get his attention, but Taka figured that if he acted like Kai was never there, if he had no evidence the elder had been a part of his life, then it would be easier to move on and forget.

Moving on he’d been able to do, but forgetting was a completely different story. Kai was always there, always a part of him that he simply couldn’t forget; that he didn’t want to forget.

He was young and possibly stupid, but Kai had been it, and being in an office that practically mimicked Kai’s own back in Okayama had Takanori feeling lonelier than he had in a very long time.

Minutes later, the door finally opened, steps coming closer as Takanori’s eyes remained shut. It was only when he felt smooth fingers run across his forehead and brush strands of bangs out of his face did his eyes pop wide open; familiar laugh lines and pearly whites glowing as the man in front of him spoke.

“Still fighting, Taka-chan?”

“K-kai…?”

Still dopey, still shaggy haired, and still sporting his infamous laugh lines. Takanori was almost speechless, but then he remembered why they were separated and automatically put on an off put expression, scrunching his face in disgust. “What the hell are you doing in Tokyo? Shouldn’t you be back in Okayama with your sleazy wife?”

Kai continued to smile, it tempting Taka all the more. “Wife? What wife?” he proudly splayed his fingers out to Taka, the younger staring aghast at the lack of ring on a certain finger; those damn tanned and veiny hands adding even more to his temptation.

“You…you got a divorce?” there his heart went, speeding up just that little bit.

“Nope, was never married.”

“W-why?” he couldn’t breathe; thoughts of the night he made Kai choose finally coming up clear in his mind, now able to pick out words such as ‘we’ll’, and ‘Tokyo’, and ‘together’…

“Well,” Kai grabbed Taka’s hand, lifting it slowly and pressing a tender kiss to the pale surface. “I was waiting for you.”

Takanori was nineteen years old when he found out his truth had actually never deceived him.
