Pairing: Ryo/Tego, obviously ^^
Rating: From G to NC-17. The last one is safe, the third one is... rather graphic. The others are somewhere in between.
Summary: Tegoshi has a way to mess with Ryo's head. Five ways, actually.
A/N: This is dedicated to calinyan as a 'thank you' for being my muse and inspiring me to write many things. Thanks! ILU.
Added A/N: Credits for the real filth go to calinyan, whose RP!Tegoshi was the inspiration for most of this fic, especially parts two and three. Thanks hon, for being so darn filthy. ILU. XDD
One: Dream
All in all, things had been very awkward, Tegoshi decided when he lay on his back on the bed, trying to fall asleep. Unable to drift off, he silently went over the recent happenings once again.
He still wasn't sure why he and Massu had fought. It was probably over something silly, and they'd make up soon enough, but for now they weren't on speaking terms. Which was quite annoying in the middle of a tour, especially with the two of them sharing a hotel room.
Yamapi, ever the leader, had come up with a solution and offered to share a room with Massu for one night. Tegoshi could have his bed and share a room with Ryo. And that's where things had become really weird. For some reason, Ryo had been very adamant about not wanting to sleep in one room with Tegoshi. Tegoshi couldn't understand why, they were friends after all. Ryo hadn't been willing to offer an explanation and Yamapi had just shrugged and changed rooms, leaving Tegoshi and Ryo to work things out between themselves.
Once they were alone, Ryo had acted as if nothing had happened and they had watched a movie together before going to bed. Now, Ryo was sound asleep and Tegoshi was thinking. Was he that annoying?
A sound woke Tegoshi from his musings. He frowned. Was that... a moan? He turned his head to look at Ryo in the other bed, his eyes widening when another moan, because that was definitely a moan, left Ryo's throat.
"Ryotan?"
There was no reply, it was obvious that Ryo was asleep. But if he was asleep, then why...
"Nnn, yesss..."
Tegoshi's eyes widened further. He thought for a moment. An interesting thought had just entered his mind. Did this have anything to do with why Ryo didn't want to share a room with him? A mischievous smirk appeared on his face and he slipped out of his bed. Trying to be as quiet as possible, he tiptoed to the bed Ryo was currently being... restless... in. Walking around it so he could see Ryo's face, he gingerly sat down on the bed and watched. Who are you thinking of, Ryotan...
Maybe in his sleep Ryo picked up on Tegoshi's thoughts, because when his soft whispers sounded again...
"Ahh... Tego...nyan... yesss..."
Whoa. Tegoshi blinked in surprise. He's thinking of... me? He would have lingered on this thought more, but a movement distracted him. He wasn't stupid, that movement could only mean one thing...
Biting his lip in concentration, Tegoshi took a corner of Ryo's sheets and slowly eased them off his friend's body. He wasn't sure what made him do it, he just knew that he wanted to see what thinking of him did to Ryo's body. Inch by inch, his friend's naked body came into view - Tegoshi didn't think he'd ever actually be happy about the fact Ryo slept in the nude - until after a long two minutes, he lay exposed for the younger male to see. And what he saw took his breath away.
The sleeping Ryo pleasured himself with short strokes, whimpering softly, dreaming something Tegoshi could only imagine. For a few minutes, Tegoshi just watched, enthralled, unable to believe that his senpai, the friend he respected and even feared a little, would get off on the thought of... him? Amazing...
Tegoshi didn't know what made him do it, but soon watching alone wasn't enough any more. He slowly reached out and trailed his fingers over Ryo's exposed chest. He was rewarded with a long, soft moan and a slight speeding up of Ryo's stroking.
"Nnn, more..."
Was he really asleep? Tegoshi pulled his hand back quickly and watched Ryo for a while, but apart from the one hand, nothing moved. Yes, he really was sleeping. He reached out again, ghosting his fingers over hard abs. Ryo's body moved like a snake, curling to meet with Tegoshi's hand. Ryo's moans got a little louder and his hand started moving faster still, almost frantically when Tegoshi's fingers moved from his abs to his thighs. Feeling strangely excited, Tegoshi decided to take another risk. He slowly moved his hand up Ryo's thigh, brushing against the tight sac. His fingers only barely touched the sensitive skin, but the soft touch caused Ryo to arch his back and with a loud moan, he emptied himself on the sheets, Tegoshi's name once again on his lips. Tegoshi couldn't help but think it was the hottest thing he'd ever seen.
Ryo's body relaxed and with another soft whimper he turned around, still sleeping soundly. Tegoshi pulled the sheets back over his friend and crawled into his own bed, but not before dragging a finger through that glistening wet spot. If this had happened because of him, the least he deserved was a little taste...
Two: E-mail
Like he did every morning, Ryo opened his laptop to read the news before he had to leave for work. A small blinking icon on his system tray told him he had three new e-mails. He opened his mail program.
Viagra... no thank you... Penis enlargement... I'm quite happy with what I've got, thanks... Tegoshi-kun? Since when does he use -this- e-mail address?
He first checked his phone to see if he had missed any calls or mails from his friend, but there was nothing. Odd. It was really rare for anyone to use the e-mail address not connected to his phone. As a matter of fact, only a few people even had it.
Subject: Wish you were here
Ryo frowned. What's up with that? He knew Tegoshi to be clingy, but something about the way 'here' was bolded made him wonder what the other had been up to this time.
Opening the mail, he found two attachments. One was a picture, the other what seemed to be a video file. He clicked the picture first.
...Hah?
The reason for the bolded 'here' became obvious very soon as Ryo stared at a rather candid photo of what couldn't be mistaken for anything but Tegoshi's ass. Ryo wasn't sure whether to laugh or be slightly embarrassed. Would he ever get used to his friend's antics? Yes, they had shared a bed a few times before and he knew Tegoshi to be very expressive and, well, loud... but this was taking it to a whole new level.
Apprehension making his throat feel tight, Ryo opened the video file.
His eyes widened and he gasped loudly. You've got to be kidding me. His shocked surprise didn't stop him from watching the video from beginning to end, blinking, sighing, whimpering and moaning as Tegoshi went from (kind of) dressed and cheerful to naked and touching himself, Ryo's name rolling off his lips more often than Ryo could count. Not that he was trying.
A few minutes into the video, Tegoshi repeated the words he had used for the subject line. "I wish you were... here..." he moaned as one, two, three fingers disappeared into the spot he had pointed out so creatively in the attached picture.
Ryo shifted in his chair as he watched Tegoshi doing something that could only be described as riding his own hand. Almost unconsciously, Ryo's own hand disappeared into his bathrobe and soon his own whimpers mixed with Tegoshi's moans and wails on the screen. His strokes matched those of his friend and occasional lover and when Tegoshi screamed, Ryo groaned.
It was a good thing he still had to take a shower, anyway.
Three: Phone
The sound of Ryo's phone told him he had received an e-mail. He looked and smiled when he recognized Tegoshi's e-mail address. The message was short.
Miss you.
He started to reply but got annoyed soon enough and he closed the mail program to hit speed dial instead, excusing himself to his sister, whom he had decided to visit on his day off. She nodded and gestured for him to use the kitchen if he needed some privacy. He didn't think he would.
"Hai..."
Ryo, who had kept the phone some distance from his ear in order not to be deafened by the inescapably loud Moshi moshi, Tegoshi deeeesu! his friend liked to use as a greeting whenever he called, blinked.
"What're you doing?"
Tegoshi's voice sounded soft, husky... ragged. "Thinking of you..."
Ryo couldn't help but be reminded of the e-mail he had received not too long ago. "Tell me you're not..." He heard Tegoshi moan. "Oh geez, you are."
"I'm what?" Tegoshi sounded somewhat amused. "Imagining your mouth where my hand is now? If that's what you meant then yes, I am."
"Nyan..." Frowning, Ryo looked at his sister, who was watching him curiously. He got up and walked in the direction of the kitchen before changing his mind and locking himself in the bathroom instead. Better safe than sorry.
The change in acoustics didn't escape Tegoshi's notice. "Are you in the bathroom?"
Ryo nodded, but then realised Tegoshi couldn't see this. "Yes. I'm at my sister's place, Nyan. I'm not exactly alone."
"You are now," was Tegoshi's chuckled answer. "And it doesn't matter anyway. You don't have to speak... just listen."
Listen? Did he really want to hear this? Oh hell, who was he kidding, of course he did. "I'm listening."
"Good." Tegoshi's voice started to sound a little strained, soft whimpers interrupting his words. "Close your eyes, Ryotan... imagine you're here with me. Imagine you're on this big bed with me. You're naked, and so am I, and you can have me any way you like."
Ryo didn't know why he complied, but he did. He closed his eyes.
"You can do whatever you want with me, and I'm touching myself thinking of all the things you might do. You pull my hand away and replace it with your tongue, taking your time to lick and suck me to a firm erection. Ah, it feels so good, Ryotan, your mouth on me, and I start moaning in delight..."
Moans really did sound from the phone, then, and Ryo could feel the effect they had on his body. He rubbed himself over his clothes, a soft gasp escaping him that Tegoshi must've heard, too. He could almost see the smirk on the younger male's face.
"Eager for more, you hold up your fingers for me to coat them in the lube that's always close to my bed. I'm getting impatient and I tell you to just do it already. Do it, Ryotan, take me, push them in.."
"I'm pushing them in..." Ryo didn't even realise he had spoken. He concentrated on Tegoshi's voice and on his own hand, rubbing in a way that was almost painful.
"Good... Ah, that feels so good..." Again, Tegoshi moaned. "I can feel your fingers inside of me, Ryotan... I can feel how your fingers are moving, are fucking me hard and fast and deep and... ahh..."
Tegoshi's moans were becoming louder and needier and the small part of Ryo's mind that was still coherent wondered if he should turn the volume of his phone down a notch. He couldn't be bothered. And he didn't have any hands free any more, anyway.
"Take me, Ryotan, your fingers aren't enough any more, I want you... inside of me... do it now! Ah, fuck me, Ryotan!"
Ryo groaned. "I... I'm doing it... I'm pushing in hard and deep... I want you to scream my name..." If he would remember his words afterwards, he'd certainly be very embarrassed. But right now, he was lost in the moment.
"Ah, yesss... you know how I like it, Ryotan, take me hard... I want to be bruised and bleeding by the time you're done with me. Ah, I can feel you inside of me, it feels so good... I'm being fucked hard by Nishikido Ryo and it feels so good!"
Never in his life would Ryo have imagined there would be a day that he'd be in his sister's bathroom, his pants on his ankles, palming his erection and stroking it fast, moaning Tegoshi's name. Yes, the bathroom had been a good choice.
It didn't last long. "Ryotan, I... ah, you're going to make me come! Come for me, too, Ryotan, fill me up! Say my name!"
When Tegoshi's words changed into incoherent moaning and then into a long, loud scream, Ryo did as he was told and Tegoshi's name was the last thing to roll off his lips before he, too, lost himself in orgasm. Yes, the bathroom had definitely been a good choice.
Four: Jealousy
It had been inescapable. Ryo found Tegoshi in his bed more and more often and they had even started to spend more time together outside of the bedroom. They found out they had a lot of things in common and it was nice to just talk, sometimes.
Today, the talking was going in a direction Ryo didn't really like.
"I slept with Shota last night."
"You what?" Ryo was torn between thinking that Tegoshi and Yasu naked in bed together was very hot, and feeling... jealous??
"I slept with him. I ran into him when I was out clubbing with some friends and he seduced me. It was good."
Ryo wasn't sure what to say. He and Tegoshi weren't in a relationship and both of them could do what they wanted, but they didn't normally talk about it like this. He was surprised to find out it hurt.
Apparently his feelings showed on his face because Tegoshi laughed softly, sounding almost satisfied.
"Don't like the idea of having to share me, Ryotan?"
Ryo didn't even considered lying. "No. I don't."
"Are you in love with me?"
This time, Ryo had to think before he answered. Was he?
"I... think I am."
Again, Tegoshi laughed. "That's good, because I've been in love with you for the longest time." He moved to straddle Ryo, pressing their foreheads together. "Love me, Ryotan. Love me and I'll never lay a finger on anyone else again. I'll be yours. Just tell me you want me to be."
Ryo sounded relieved and glad. "I want you to be mine. I'll love you the best way I can, please be mine..."
"Gladly."
That night, for the first time, their union was about more than lust and it was the most beautiful thing they'd ever experienced.
Five: Love
He had never said it to anyone before and he hadn't thought it would be so easy. Of course, it hadn't been at first and it had taken him quite a while to get used to the idea, but now that he was, it was easy and it felt so good.
"I love you."
Ryo looked at Tegoshi, who sat on the floor a few feet away, playing a random melody on Ryo's guitar. "I love you."
Like it did every time Ryo said these words, Tegoshi's face lit up and he looked as radiant as an angel come down from Heaven to bring joy and faith to the people who saw him. "I love you, too."
This is what it had come to. After all this time, all those nights and stolen moments they had spent together, this is how they had ended up. It was a beautiful miracle and Ryo didn't understand how he had lived without it all these years. Surely, this is what man was made for. Love. Being together. Making each other happy. It was perfect.
"I love you."
He would never stop saying it.
"I love you."
