How was it possible that two bodies so closely connected to each other can be separated by an invisible barrier?
Yuichi closed his eyes and bit his lip. Every cell in his body seemed to shake. He encircled his long arms around the other man’s neck and pulled him closer so that their sweaty chests were pressed against each other. He could feel Koki’s lips travelling from his neck up to his own and then he found himself lost in that empty kiss.
~**~
“Are you really 100% sure on this?” He remembered how Ueda had asked him in an almost mocking tone.
“Yes… And you don’t seem happy for me.” He could recall that he wanted to kick his friend that time.
“Yeah. It’s just that I am not really confident with your set-up. Plus the fact that most rebound relationships don’t really work."
His mood dropped big time when Ueda said that. “As a friend, aren’t you supposed to encourage me? Hey, you know how much I have longed for this to come, right? Can’t you be supportive?” his piece ended with a heavy sigh.
“As a friend, I am giving you a reality check. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
And with that, his friend walked out from the conversation. Now, Yuichi realized that his friend was right all along. He could now feel the hurt and pain getting into him ever so slowly.
~**~
Yuichi's breath hitched as he came. He reached out his hand to touch Koki's face but even before his fingertips could get close, Koki bended down and pressed their cheeks together and then he groaned loudly. It took a few seconds before Koki's whole weight slumped on his own. Their chests heaving and bodies sparkling with beads of sweat. Yuichi smiled and combed Koki's damp hair with his thin fingers. That moment was sweet and Yuichi closed his eyes to imprint the other man's kind expression in his mind. The moment of sweetness did not last long though when Koki moved his body and rolled to the other side of the bed.
~**~
“Thanks, Yuu-chan.” Koki sniffed, his head nestled, making a comfortable pillow of Yuichi's lap while the latter stroked his soft hair with his fingers.
“You are such a baby.” The thin man tried to make him smile like he always does.
He could feel a heavy sigh from his friend . “Yup... that's why I keep getting left behind.”
“Well if you weren't dumb enough to be looking at all the wrong places then you wouldn't be whining here. And if you weren't dumb enough, you should know by now that there is someone who never left your side since day 1.” He stopped short when he realized that he had thought out a little too loud. And from the corner of his eye, he could see that Koki had straigtened up and was now staring at him.
He held his breath when Koki moved forward, their faces inching closer and Yuichi closed his eyes in anticipation. And in a beat, that blissful moment in his life he had always dreamed of finally happened. He made a mental note that Koki's lips were actually softer than he imagined.
“Stay with me here....” Koki whispered on his ear when they parted and the words he wanted to say got caught in his throat from nervousness. “Please?” Koki cupped his face and all he could do was nod to let him know of his answer. He received another kiss as Koki's 'thank you'.
~**~
Yuichi convinced himself that Koki needs him and that this was the chance he had prayed for. And there was no way he'd let go of it. For a long time, he had been just the shoulder to cry on. But now, it was his time to show his feelings and give him all the love Kok deserved. But it wasn't as easy as he thought.
~**~
Koki stormed inside the room with his eyebrows meeting in the middle. From what Yuichi overheard, he seemed to be in a heated argument with someone on the phone. He noticed how Koki was so stressed with work these past few days and he did his best to ease Koki even though the latter wouldn't open up. He felt like an outsider and it hurts him so much because Koki used to always tell him his worries no matter how trivial.
“Koki... what's wrong?” he asked as he walked closer.
“Nothing that I can't handle...” was all the answer he got and Koki plopped on their California king bed.
“Sorry... I just wanted to help.” he sighed and went to the other side, slipping in under the blankets, his back facing the other.
Moments later, he felt a pair of arms engulfing his lithe body and he was trapped in a tight embrace, soft lips grazing all over his nape. “I'm sorry, Yuu. I was just tired.”
When his body was turned, he gladly kissed the other back to let him know that he was already forgiven.
~**~
The sun started peeking from the horizon and the morning breeze blew the curtains. Yuichi opened his heavy eyes and the first thing he saw was Koki's broad back facing him. He reached out to touch the tanned skin but paused halfway, not wanting to wake the sleeping man up.
He started to think if there was ever a time, even just once, when Koki felt like his heart was overflowing with happiness just like Yuichi's heart does because even now that they are already together, he still felt like he was loving Koki from afar.
He drew back his hand and placed it on his tightening chest. Should he just give up? And as if fate was holding him back, Koki moved and turned on his other side to face Yuichi. Still in a sleepy daze, Koki smiled and caressed Yuichi's face before closing his eyes again.
Yuichi's heart swelled at such simple gesture and his eyes brimmed with tears. He moved his hand to hold Koki's own and tilted hs head to kiss the warm hand. He wanted to know Koki's feelings and hear him say he loves him... but he was scared to be thought as weak. He told himself that for now, this was enough and he will just keep wishing on the stars that soon, Koki will give his heart to him.
