Summary: Jin recently moved into town and Kazuya welcomes him but what happens when Kazuya confesses his secret to Jin and Jin volunteers to help him? (I know it sucks XD .. story’s a lot better though :]] )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“OKAAAACHHHAAAANNNN!!” shouts Kazuya.
“What is it Kazuya?” asks his mother in the frilly pink apron.
“Who are our new neighbors? I saw them moving some boxes this morning.” Kazuya grabs a slice of bread and sits down by the table as his mother starts to prepare the breakfast.
“Ah. . .I think they are the Akanishi’s. I heard that they were going to move this afternoon.”
“Souuuuuuuu. . ne kaachan, I’m hungry!” smiles Kazuya.
“Hai hai! Eat a lot!”
“HAAIIIII~~” answers Kazuya with a cute smile.
****************
Knock knock
“Jin! Would you get the door please?” asks Jin’s father.
“Hai.” Jin walks over and opens the door to find Kazuya holding a home-baked apple pie.
“Konichiwa Akanishi-san, I’m Kamenashi Kazuya demo you can call me Kazuya. I live next door and my mom told me to bring this over to you to welcome you. Etou. . .Yoroshiku!” smiles Kazuya.
“Ahhh. . .arigatou. . .I’m Jin.”
“Jin? Who is it?” asks Jin’s father.
“It’s Kamenashi from next door.”
His dad opens the door to let Kamenashi in. “Kamenashi-kun, you can go talk with Jin for a while if you want. We’re almost done fixing our things here. Since you both are near in age, I bet you’d get along really well.”
Jin looks at Kazuya and leads him to his room. Despite their recent moving, Jin’s bedroom had been fixed up pretty well. The bed was fixed properly, the boxes were nowhere to be found and the television and tables lined up neatly.
“Etou. . .If I’m being a bother I could leave. . .” says Kazuya.
Jin closed the door behind them and sat down on the bed. “Do you wanna watch a movie or something?”
Kamenashi sat beside Jin and nodded, “Hai!”
Jin randomly picked out a DVD from his stack and played it. As the credits started, Jin stared at Kamenashi who was seriously watching the film.
Damn, he’s really cute!
Kazuya watched the film closely and didn’t even notice that Jin was staring at him.
“Kazuya, I notice that you really like that movie. We haven’t even started talking to each other yet.” laughs Jin.
“AH! GOMEN!” smiles Kazuya “hmmm, ne Jin do you have a girlfriend right now?”
“EH?!” laughs Jin “I don’t have a girlfriend right now. Why did you ask?”
Kazuya laughed, “Is that supposed to be a joke? I can’t imagine you not having a girlfriend Jin.”
“I’m serious! Why? Do you have a girlfriend Kazuya?”
Kazuya looked down and blushed, “None.”
“What’s with this embarrassed look Kamenashi? And besides, you didn’t answer my question; why’d you ask me if I had a girlfriend?”
“Nothing. It’s just this little something I have with myself that . . AH!! I can’t say it!!”
Jin takes Kazuya’s chin and raises his head until their eyes are of the same level. “Ka-zu-ya, what is it? I can help you. Even if we just met today, if it’s problem with relationships I’m pretty good with those.”
Kazuya looks into Jin’s eyes and finds himself laughing, “How can you give me advice when you don’t even have you own girlfriend?”
“UGH! I’m trying to be kind you know?” Jin lets go of Kazuya’s chin. Kazuya finds himself uncomfortable with the loss of touch but nevertheless throws those feelings out of the way.
“Fine fine! I’ll tell you.” Kazuya looks down and whispers something that is unintelligible to Jin’s hearing.
“What? I can’t hear you if you whisper like a mouse you know?!” says Jin.
“I don’t know anything about kissing or anything that you usually do in those relationships. I don’t even know how to hold a girl’s hand or how to act in front of a girl or how to speak, what to say. I don’t even know what I should tell her when she’s sad or what to do when she calls or what to talk about. . .”
“WHOAH! STOP! I get it.” Laughs Jin.
“It’s not funny. . .” Kazuya bows his head down again and starts blushing.
“Well, actually since you’re just what 15, 16? It’s obvious that you don’t know anything about those things.” laughed Jin.
“I’m 18!!” shouts Kazuya.
“EH?! MAJI DE?! 18?! I’m just a year older than you?! So why do you seem like a kid?” Jin laughs once more, teasing the blushing Kazuya.
Kamenashi stands up and starts to head out the door but Jin pulls Kazuya’s hand back. Accidentally, Kazuya falls down on top of Jin on the floor.
“Itaiiiiii. . .” whispers Kazuya “Jin? Daijobu?”
“Hai. . .are you okay Kazuya?” Kazuya nods and starts to stand up when Jin snakes his hands on Kazuya’s back and hugs him.
“Eh? Jin?”
Jin places his lips on Kazuya’s ear and seductively whispers, “I told you I can help you.”
“Whaattttt?!?!” Kazuya smacks Jin’s shoulder and pulls himself up,
“YADA!!” shouts Kazuya.
“Why not? Don’t you wanna have a relationship with someone? It’s not like you’re afraid to fall for me right?” Jin laughed at Kazuya and started to walk towards Kazuya.
“It’s . . it’s just that I don’t want my first to be with someone who doesn’t care about me.”
“What?” Jin laughs again. “It’s not that easy to find someone who cares for you and wants to do it with you with feelings and all that.”
Kazuya just blushed and stepped away. “Demo, even if . . .AHHH!! I just don’t want you to do anything to me okay?”
“You sure?” Jin steps closer and wraps his arms around Kazuya’s slim figure. He leans in closer and closer until their lips almost meet. Kazuya closes his eyes on instinct expecting the kiss but Jin just leans closer and closer until he whispers, “You sure you don’t want it?”
“Jin. . . .” whispers Kazuya seductively. That alone was enough for Jin. He claims Kazuya’s lips as his own in one blissful second. Jin places his hands on Kazuya’s back and pulls him closer.
Kazuya was squeezing his eyes shut tight. After a minute or so, Jin pulls away and looks at Kazuya, “So how was it?” Kazuya’s face turns into a shade of bright red with the embarrassment from Jin’s actions.
“Urusai. . .”
“I’ll take it that you enjoyed it. At least that makes one of us.” Jin sighed and walked over to the bed, sitting by the corner. Deep inside Jin knew that he was lying. He enjoyed it thoroughly and was even wishing for more.
“EH?! What do you mean? You didn’t enjoy it?!” Kamenashi sits beside Jin. “I told you I was no good that’s why I don’t want anyone to kiss me just yet.”
“Daijobu yo Kamenashi. I can teach you anything you want. I already told you, I’m good with this.” Jin smirks as he drapes one hand over Kazuya’s shoulder pulling his head closer.
“You just have to say the word.” Jin leans closer just like before near but not near enough to make their lips meet.
“Wh. . .what?” Kazuya shivers from the nearness of Jin. He can’t believe he had just met this man today and yet his first kiss had already been stolen.
“Just tell me you want me too. It’s not like it’s gonna kill you to say it right? Besides, I know that you’re not gay. .” Jin stares at Kazuya and sighs. “You’re not gay are you, Kamenashi?”
Kazuya smacks Jin by the shoulder and blushes madly. “Just because I allowed you to kiss me doesn’t mean that I’m gay besides, for kissing me. .I think you’re the one who is gay!”
Kazuya was waiting for Jin to throw a fit, get mad or at least do something but instead Jin walks over to Kazuya and pulls him to sit on him. Jin then wraps his arms around Kazuya’s waist possessively and whispers, “Stop moving too much. I’m getting tired of running after you. Besides, I need to answer you back . . I’m not gay! So do you wanna do it or not?!”
Kazuya stared at Jin with a killer look. If eyes could talk his eyes would definitely say, “HENTAI!”
Jin was just staring at Kazuya, attempting to read his mind but he knew he couldn’t do it. Who in the world could read minds anyway? “Kamenashi, I’m not a very patient person so If you could make your decision now. . .please?!”
Kazuya was calculating the pro’s and con’s in his mind. Well, undoubtedly Jin was good looking. He looked experienced and there’s nothing wrong with doing with someone you don’t care about. Besides, he could learn a lot then maybe overcome his fear.
“Ok. . .” blushed Kazuya. Jin raises one eyebrow and asks, “Yes or No?”
“Hai. . .” Kazuya bows his head down and blushes. By now, he could be as red as chili and he would still blush into a darker shade of red.
“Ne, since you’ve agreed to this. I’ll set up a schedule. Since I will be busy sometimes and obviously we don’t want anyone to know. .hmmmm, lessons are at 2pm-6pm in the afternoon.”
Kazuya struggles to release himself form Jin’s hug but Jin resisted and hugged him even tighter. “Why afternoon?”
“Because, we could tell our parents that we are just friends and besides. . .stop complaining. Before today ends I’m going to teach you a bit about kissing.” Jin chuckled and carried Kazuya to change his position.
Kazuya was now facing Jin while sitting on his lap. “Etou . . .” says Kazuya.
“Nani wo? Do you have any requests, commands, questions Kamenashi?”
Kazuya looked into Jin’s eyes and said, “It’s just that. . .I find it weird that you call me Kamenashi and I call you Jin. Should I just call you Akanishi?”
Jin shook his head. “That does seem weird. .so from now on I’ll call u Kazu-chan.”
Kazuya laughed and nodded his head in approval.
Kazu-chan. . .kawaii namaeeee~~ I wonder if I can call him Jin-kun?? It seems much better than Jin.
“Well, let’s see what you’ve got. Kiss me Kazu-chan.”
“e. .eh. . ehhhh?!?!” Kazuya bowed his head down and blushed once more.
“Kazu-chan! It’s really simple. You just lean in and kiss me. Got it?” Jin takes Kazuya’s arms and drapes in onto his neck making Kazuya hug him.
Kazuya did as he was told he leans in and places his lips over Jin’s. Jin parted his lips slightly waiting for Kazuya to take dominance. “Kazu-chan. . .” says Jin.
Kazuya immediately pulls back and looks at Jin, “What is it?”
“Why’d you stop??” asked Jin. Kazuya looks at Jin with confused eyes and says, “Because you said my name. I thought you were gonna give instructions or something.”
“MOUUUU!!! KAZU!! Ok fine, I’ll comment. The kiss was simple and sweet but it doesn’t really get you anywhere. You have to move your hands more and use your tongue.”
“Tongue?? Why would I use that?” Kazuya looks at Jin and says, “Yappari. . muri dayo! I told you! I can’t do it.”
Jin sighs and smiles, “Fine. I’ll do it with you and then just follow my lead okay?”
Kazuya nods. Jin brought their lips back together parting his lips along with Kazuya’s. He lets his tongue slip into Kazuya’s parted lips and feels Kazuya gasp. Taking advantage of the situation, Jin lets his tongue make contact with Kazuya’s. He stays still for a moment letting Kazuya absorb his surroundings but to his amazement Kazuya took dominance of the kiss. He kisses Jin deeper letting his instinct do all the work. His tongue moving with Jin’s meeting with extreme passion.
It’s just a silly kiss. I’ve kissed other people before but why do I feel like Kazuya’s kiss could melt me?
After a few minutes of intense passion and intense kissing Kazuya pulls back and bites his lips, “How was it?”
Jin was amazed for a second; he was taken aback by Kazuya’s passion. “You’ve definitely improved.”
Kazuya smiles and wraps his arms around Jin tighter. Just then, Jin’s father knocked on the door. “Jin, Kazuya, its dinner time. Your mom might be worried about you Kazuya.”
“Ah Hai!” Kazuya stands up and opens the door, “Arigatou Ojichan. I’ll be going home now. See you tomorrow Jin!”
“See yah tomorrow Kazu-ch. . .Kamenashi!” He smiles and waves goodbye.
“He’s a good kid, ne Jin?” Jin merely nodded and lied back down the bed.
This will be a great summer
Kamenashi lied down on his bed and touched his lips. “My first kiss. . . .”
