U Awake? Ch. 3
It was Saturday, the day after Jin and Kame’s ‘session’, and both boys appreciated the basic definition of weekends: no school. Which meant neither would have to face the other in the hallways, awkward smiles directed towards each other, making the whole thing even more awkward.
Akanishi had no plans during weekends, he usually waited for girls or some of his close friends to call him up if they wanted to hang out. He never asked first; he didn’t want everyone to think he was desperate for company in any way. And he was never disappointed him when it came to this. There was always someone from school, even people he rarely hung out with, who asked him to go out with them. And who was he to refuse? Seldom did his weekends consist of himself lying down on his bed, trying to make imaginary patterns on his ceiling, pathetically waiting more than one hour for someone to call.
But that’s exactly what he was doing now. For the umpteenth time, he heaved a sigh, his mind occupied with so many things, specifically of one boy named Kamenashi Kazuya. He was still at a loss as to just how amazing his friend was at making out. He had tried to consider that maybe Kame was just naturally good at these things; he had heard of people who just knew what to do during those moments. And all kidding aside, Kame was a nerd for fuck’s sake. Albeit he was a pretty cool nerd; he minded how he wore his uniform at school, he had awesome hair as good as any cool kid out there, and he didn’t wear the stereotypical black, thick-framed glasses all geeks wore. But he was still a nerd. Exactly when would Kame be able to have time to fool around and get good grades at the same time? It just wasn’t possible.
His arguments chased around in his head until he received a text message, the ringtone snapped him out of his thoughts.
From: Ryo
To: Jin
Hey! I didn’t see you yesterday after school. You were supposed to meet up with me for movies remember?
“Fuck!” Jin cursed as he realized he was so out of it yesterday that he hadn’t even bothered to remember that he needed to meet up with people like he usually did on Friday nights. He could barely even remember how he had gotten home; all he had been thinking about was Kame, his amazing kisses, and that question that still plagued his mind. Akanishi answered Ryo back quickly.
From: Jin
To: Ryo
Ah! Sorry! I came home and laid down for a sec, but I fell asleep :P make it up to you later mkay?
From: Ryo
To: Jin
Uh huh… how do I know u weren’t fooling around with some chick? jk! No problem Jin. Ttyl oh and its lied not laid xp
Nishikido Ryo smirked as he put his phone back in his pocket and turned to Ueda Tatsuya.
“Well, what did he say?” Ueda asked as he put his clothes back on. They had just finished their own session and were just about to go about their separate ways for the day, but Ueda wanted to know how it went yesterday for Kame and Jin. Of course he could have just asked Kame himself, but he didn’t want to ask the boy before Kame said anything first.
“Apparently Kame did indeed blow his mind away. Jin never forgets to hang out on Friday nights. He ‘fell asleep’.” Ryo answered, making quotations in the air as Ueda faced him.
“Aw! That-a-boy Kazuya!” Ueda cheered, Ryo shook his head in amusement.
Jin read Ryo’s message, and the last line reminded him of Kame and his first text conversation. Suddenly he remembered something. Kame had promised before that he could ask questions after he taught Jin, and he definitely was not going to pass up that opportunity. Right when he was about to initiate another conversation with Kame, messages pinged one after another through his phone, all asking him to either hang out or make plans for the day with everyone. However, Jin’s mind was set in figuring out exactly what had been going on in Kamenashi’s life the past few years he hadn’t talked to him. He mass-answered everyone with one line: “Sorry, I can’t. Have something important to do.”
Kamenashi Kazuya was hunched over his geography book at his desk, trying hard to focus on his essay that was due on Monday; trying very hard. But no matter what he did, his mind went back to the day before. Jin’s soft lips, how they all of a sudden ravished his own, and just how far they were both willing to go had Jin not hesitated and stopped. Kame truly believed that Jin was going to fuck him into the piano right then, especially with how wanton Jin’s actions had been.
Kame shook his head from the thought. He didn’t want to get his hopes up just because Jin responded to his kiss more than he had expected. True, Jin could have taken it to the next level, but it would probably be due to hormones and completely spur of the moment. That definitely was not how he wanted Jin to take him. He wanted Jin to take him because he wanted Kame as much as Kame wanted him, and not because he was acting like a whore for Jin.
But what confused Kazuya the most was Jin’s sudden change in behavior right before he hurried out of the room. Kame couldn’t think of what had done wrong, and Jin had seemed to be enjoying it as much as he was. He was scared that maybe Jin didn’t want to be a fag and had decided to just give up on the whole idea, but Jin had implied that he wanted to do it again. So what was the problem?
Just when Kame sighed and tried to get back to his assignment, his phone rang. It was a text, from Jin.
From: Jin
To: Kazu
Hey. U awake?
From: Kazu
To: Jin
Of course I’m awake Jin. It’s only 9:45 in the evening. :p
From: Jin
To: Kazu
No need to be prissy xP Besides, don’t nerds have bedtimes? That is, if u rly are a nerd…
From: Kazu
To: Jin
Ha.Ha. And wth is that supposed to mean Akanishi?
From: Jin
To: Kazu
I been thinkin… And nerds aren’t known for mind-blowing make out sessions… So u ready to finally answer some of my questions?
Kazuya read Jin’s last message and became nervous. He definitely could not say no to Jin, because then Jin might think he was avoiding the topic and hiding something. But how was he supposed to explain to his friend that it just felt right? It felt like he knew what he had to do all along? That his want for Jin fueled his passion to kiss him expertly? Kame laughed tiredly as he tried to go through a possible conversation with Jin while explaining this to his friend. It already sounded unbelievable. He had no other choice but to keep this cool façade and hopefully steer Jin away from the subject of questions.
From: Kazu
To: Jin
So u did enjoy it ;) Then why were u so eager to leave? Did Jinjin get scared?
From: Jin
To: Kazu
I’d be lyin if I said I didn’t… and I know u did too :P And no, i wasn’t scared… i just didn’t want our sessions to be kept to just one, so i had to stop somewhere. Sensei has fun ways of teaching ;)
“SENSEI?!” Kame yelled. “So you want to start being kinky Akanishi?” Kazuya grinned in excitement, finally leaving his desk to lie down on his bed.
From: Kazu
To: Jin
Sensei never said the lesson was over…so you may have to stay with sensei for detention :P
From: Jin
To: Kazu
Where does sensei live?
“What’s on your mind now Akanishi?” Kame asked himself as his eyebrows furrowed in wonder.
From: Kazu
To: Jin
You know where I liveJin. You’ve been at my house before :p
Kame waited eagerly for Jin’s reply, anxious as to why exactly Jin had asked that question. Kazuya was slowly starting to learn that when it came to Akanishi Jin, it was best to not question his motives, especially when the boy was a master of surprises; exhibit A being their make out session.
Fifteen minutes had already passed, yet Jin still hadn’t replied. Kame was starting to get worried again. He berated himself for quickly assuming the worst when it came to situations like this. He had no right to ask more from the boy, especially when they had just started to talk to each other again, regardless of the circumstances that led them to each other. For all he knew, Jin may have changed completely from the Jin he knew years before.
A knock landed on his bedroom door and Kame stood up to answer it. He opened the door to see his mother.
“You didn’t tell me you had a school social tonight. Someone’s here to pick you up! He hasn’t come here in a long time dear! He says that it’s homecoming night, so I’ll excuse the fact that it’s so late.” Kazuya’s mother explained to him with a wide smile on her face.
Which “friend” was making his mother smile so much? Surely not Ueda, because they both kne that homecoming wasn’t for another two weeks; not that he kept up with social dates.
Kame nodded slowly and walked out his bedroom to see which friend it was. But before he could do so, his text alert went off.
From: Jin
To: Kazu
I c u :)
Kazuya furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and looked around his living room. Akanishi was nowhere to be seen.
“Mom, who’d you say is waiting for me at the door?” Kame asked his mother.
“Why it’s Jin dear. Remember?” Kame cringed in nervousness and fear as he once again walked slowly, this time towards the front door.
He discovered Jin leaning on the wall casually, reminding him of his posture when they met each other at the rotunda yesterday afternoon.
“Yo,” Jin waved to Kame with his right hand, his left still in the pocket of his jeans. Kame waved back silently as his eyes roamed over Jin’s body. He was wearing tight, dark denim jeans, and his torso was covered with a white undershirt that defined his abs and muscles with a light blue polo button-up, that wasn’t buttoned at all, completing the ensemble. In other words, Kame thought Jin looked smoking hot.
“He, well are you gonna get dressed or what?” Jin asked nonchalantly, now standing straight to push Kame all the way to his room.
