This epilogue is a kind of request from Shinigamiami. Okay, it's too long to be called an epilogue but I couldn't make it shorter, I hope you will like it dear :)
Epilogue:
I wanna feel your love Blowing through me
Where's that melody going to?
I wanna feel your love I want to hold you close
In my dreams But you were mine
I remember who the moment our eyes met
It felt like I was floating Sugar and salt
At times, sweet So sweet Then bitter It was so fleeting
As if it had arranged it, from the sky fell an evening shower
Jun's pov:
After what happened with Ayashi, my relationship with Sho changed a lot. I decided to open my heart and trust him. The beginnings were hard as I was dealing with someone as stubborn as me. We fought a lot for stupid things though, we always made up in bed. I had moved in his apartment (or rather palace) for ten months and even if I wasn't a fan of luxurious, I got used to all the gadgets in his house. To be honest, being surrounded by technology when you made love was sometimes very useful. Sho was still using his armor and when he came home, I was already asleep and didn't see him. He just slipped in our bed and pulled me in his arms against his well-built chest. At the beginning, it didn't bother me and I thought Iron Sho was very sexy but as time passed, I started to hate this armor because I couldn't spend lots of time with my lover. He had a big company to hold and I traveled in Japan a lot because of my work. I had stopped being a journalist because my revenge was over but an agency had contacted me to pose as model. I didn't really take it seriously, thinking it would be fun but I hadn't expected to become so famous. I quickly worked more and started to do fashion shows for big brands. And for my biggest surprise, I loved it. It was very funny and I liked to pose and wear many clothes. But it also took me lots of time. We were both busy but never had moments together because Sho always had some work to do. His company, the armor and the success of the armor. Everybody wanted to know who was this hero under this metal armor. Sho made many interviews for magazines and TV without revealing his identity. I was proud of him but this situation made me suffer. I wanted to see him more than five minutes in the kitchen and to go to the restaurant or the funfair. I missed him even if I was living with him.
"Tadaima." I heard Sho entering the house.
"Okaeri." I smiled when his arms wrapped my waist from behind to kiss my neck.
"How was your day?"
"Good. I have a fashion show in one week. Will you come?"
"When exactly?"
"Saturday." I heard Sho sighing and pulled away angrily. "You won't come again."
"I have an important meeting."
"Of course." I growled.
"What does it mean?"
"You always have an important meeting, Sho. We date for almost one year and how many times did you come to my fashion shows? Never." I exclaimed angrily.
"I know but I have a company to hold!"
"So, my work is so less important that keeping two hours for me is too much to ask?!"
"I've never said that!"
"Don't take me for an idiot. I know you don't care about my job, you only care for yours and for Mr Iron Sho!"
"You're unfair!"
"No, just honest! We barely see each other, we haven't made love for two weeks and you just think about the armor and its success! What are you doing with me if you don't even have five minutes for me?!" I cried, leaving the kitchen angrily and slamming our bedroom's door roughly. I opened the glass of the balcony and lit a cigarette to calm my nerves. Soon, I heard Sho opening the glass and stiffened when my lover wrapped me from behind.
"I'm sorry." Sho whispered.
"It's easy to be sorry, it doesn't change anything." I snapped.
"I'll make more efforts. I'll come to see you Saturday, I promise."
"Really?" I turned around, arching an eyebrow.
"Hun. I've neglected you too much, you're right. It's just hard to deal with everything."
"I know. I don't want you to be perfect, Sho. You do your best in your work and it's a good thing but I would like not to be forgotten. I come to your parties with these hypocrites salary men and even if it's boring, I come for you. This fashion show is very important, it will sign the future of my career."
"I'm sorry. I'll change, promise." Sho stroked my cheek and brought our lips together. "Now, let's change the fact we haven't fucked for two weeks." Sho exclaimed, making me laugh. "I'll make love to you the whole night."
"Go on, then, my sexy workaholic multimillionaire."
"I knew you only loved my money." Sho smirked while pushing me on our bed.
"Why would I be with you if not?" I joked. "Certainly not for this amazing sexy ass." I slapped his butt, making him moan. "Or not for those lips that drive me crazy anytime they kiss me." I added, licking his mouth.
"And not my big boy that brings you to paradise everyday." Sho entered me, making me moan.
"Certainly not..." I managed to whine before letting him do what he wanted.
(One day)
Going to a restaurant again
Going to the movies again
Going on a drive again, I learn more about you
And again, we've become somewhat similar to each other
A plain canvas is being spread with color
Your left ear was leaning against my shoulder (Yeah)
Our connected hands shook with meaning (Yeah)
Since when had we both gotten stubborn
One day at a time, the scenery keeps passing by
We made love with passion, our bodies moving in a perfect way like always. Sex with Sho was like Heaven anytime we did it. He knew my body so well that bringing me to paradise was very easy now.
This week, Sho made lots of effort to be more at home and spend time with me. We made love even more and ate at the restaurant like every normal couple. I was happy to find my old lover who acted like a silly teenager like before, bringing me flowers, taking me to romantic places. Even if I loved the rough Sho, I also loved the sweet Sho who was able to make me blush like a school girl.
Saturday came fast and I waited for him with impatience. This fashion show was very important as I was the first model, the one who would close the event with the master piece. I was very nervous and my hands were shaking as a woman was working on my make-up.
"You'll do great." A voice chuckled.
"Masaki! Hiroshi, you came!" I exclaimed happily.
"We couldn't miss that." Aiba grinned.
"I'll never make it." I whined, my face turning even whiter.
"You'll make it. You did great until now and you will do great tonight." Hiroshi smiled, approved by his lover.
"If Hiroki is satisfied, he wants to send me France for a new brand. It's a good opportunity but I won't accept."
"Why?"
"I won't leave Sho for six months, it's too much." I replied.
"You should talk about it tonight with Sho." Aiba patted my shoulder.
"Where is he by the way?" I checked the clock.
"Maybe on the way. It starts in ten minutes and his planning was tighttoday."
"He has a seat just in front of the podium like you." I winked.
"Sugoi!"
"We let you finish your preparation, see you in some minutes." Hiroshi smiled and wrapped his lover's waist, throwing a death look to the stylist who was staring at Aiba too much. "Sorry dear but he is taken." Hiroshi snapped possessively, making Aiba laugh.
"Baka." I chuckled.
It's with nervousness that I opened the fashion show but knowing Sho would be here relaxed me a little. I walked on the stage, trying to do my best as first model but my smile vanished when I saw Sho's empty seat next to Aiba who threw me an apologetic look. I forced a smile not to spoil my work and kept walking. At the beginning, I thought Sho was just late but at the end of the fashion show, his seat was still empty and I almost cried in front of everybody. After the show, Hiroki came next to me and offered me a big bouquet of roses before we bowed deeply to the people. I held back my tears and at the second Hiroki allowed me, I left for my apartment.
My heart broke when I crossed the biggest road of Shibuya and saw one of the biggest screens of the towers. Sho was appearing on it under his armor, a journalist asking him questions.
(Baby)
Your hands were so much more slender than mine
Your soft slender hands
Ah, untangling our entwined fingers
My mind is swimming in the memories
I wanna feel your love I'm frozen
Who does warmth belong to?
I wanna feel your love Shedding tears wishing for it
Remembering and then forgetting And you were mine
"So, does the man under this armor is already taken or is he free for a hoping girl?" The woman asked.
"I have nobody because this armor takes lots of time."
I bit my lip and ran away, not wanting to hear more. So, he was alone? He didn't have any lover? Alright, his wish would come true.
The house was empty and I grabbed my bag to pack my things. I would go to Paris. I would pose for the biggest brands alone. I couldn't live with someone who preferred his career than his lover.
"Jun, wait!"Aiba protested when I left the house.
"He promised. He promised he would be here and didn't come. He even said he was free. It's better if I stop everything now before suffering more." I sobbed and kissed my friend's cheeks before climbing in a taxi. "Narita airport, please."

Sho's pov:
Dealing with a company, an armor and a boyfriend was harder than I thought. I hadn't much free time because of all my meetings and the work I did the night under the armor. I tried to do everything but when I saw Jun crying and saying I didn't care about him, I realized how much I had hurt him. Jun was everything to me. I needed him, his presence appeased me and having him in my arms helped me to be stronger. I loved him so much, yet, I had hurt him. Seeing him crying was the worst for me. I hated that. I needed his smile and happiness more than anything; that's why I promised him to change and be more present for him. It was true, I had never been to one of his fashion shows. It's not it didn't interest me but I was too busy to go, yet, I wanted to see him on a podium. He was so beautiful and I was so proud of him. I promised I would change and assist to this so important fashion show because I didn't want to lose him.
I prepared everything, I canceled my meetings for the company and booked a bouquet of blue daisy as he loved these flowers. But nothing turned like I expected.
"Sakurai-san, a journalist wants an interview with Iron Sho." My concealer said.
"When?"
"Saturday night."
"I'm busy Saturday night."
"I'll propose him another day."
I stroked my eyes tiredly. I hadn't slept a lot for several days to be able to spend some time with Jun. It was hard to find the perfect timing between my work and my social life. Maybe I should forget the armor if I didn't want to lose Jun. He was more important after all.
This week was a hell, I ran everywhere, saw a lot of clients and rescued many people by night. I was almost forgetting my own name.
"Sakurai-san, the journalist insists for Saturday."
"Which journalist?" I asked between a yawn and a phone call.
"The one who wants to ask you questions about the armor."
"Ah. Tell him I'll be there Saturday night, then." I shrugged.
I didn't even realize I had made a big mistake. I went to this interview, lying when she asked me if I was free. I preferred to lie not to put Jun in danger. If someone learned for us, my lover would be certainly threatened.
I took off my armor in the changing room and left, joining Shibuya's people crow. I raised my eyes to look at the screen and froze in the middle of the street.
"Tonight was the biggest fashion show of the famous stylist, Hiroki Narimiya. As expected, his first model, Matsumoto Jun did great and gave us an unforgettable show." The caster explained.
"SHIT!!!" I screamed and climbed in my Ferrari to go home as quickly as possible. Jun would kill me this time. "Jun?!" I called when I entered our house. I heard some noises from the living room and walked toward it. "Babe, I'm so sorry, I know I promised to be here but..."
"But you forgot." I gasped when I saw Aiba on the sofa with angry eyes.
"Masaki..."
"You promised him, Sho."
"I know but I'm exhausted, I forgot and..."
"It was a very important fashion show, not just a caprice. Jun needed you and you weren't here."
"I can explain. Where is he?"
"Not here. He left."
"When will he come back?"
"He left, Sho."Aiba repeated. After some seconds, my eyes widened in shock.
"You're kidding."
"No. He left and he even left Japan."
"What?!"
"His boss proposed him a new contract in France for six months. He was about to refuse not to leave you for all this time but after what happened tonight, you can guess he finally changed his mind."
"I'll find him."
"Don't go, Sho."
"What?!"
"You hurt him a lot. Even if he forgave you, what will you give him after? You will make up, come back and will stay the same than before. Nothing will change and he will suffer more and will leave you again."
"What do you propose, then?!"
"I'm not you, Sho. My only wish is to see you happy but Jun is also my friend. You can't deal with all this work and your boyfriend needs you. If you want to keep him, you will have to make choices. I know you do your best but Jun can't be here just for the decoration, he isn't a carpet."
"I know!!"
"Make a choice, Sho. But if you want to keep your life like before, forget him. Let him go and be happy with someone else. Choose your priorities."
Masaki patted my shoulder with a sad smile and left. I knew he didn't want to hurt me and only tried to make me take the best decision. He was right, even if Jun forgave me, if I didn't really change, our lives would go back to what they were before. I had to choose and make some sacrifices. My company and Iron Sho were too much work to let me some time for my lover. The question was, what would I choose. My company was my life, I had built it myself and loved my work. The armor wasn't something I couldn't live without but what about the people? Was I able to stop and let them? Or did I have to make a cross on my love life?
I put the armor and left my apartment, hoping the sky of Tokyo would help me to take a decision. The view was amazing just like Jun loved it.
And suddenly, I realized something.
As amazing as this view was, it was insipid if Jun wasn't with me to watch it. I was used to take him in my arms to fly above the town and show him the most beautiful landscapes but now Jun wasn't here, it was useless. Even the most amazing views of the world wouldn't interest or touch me if Jun wasn't by my side to admire it. I needed him. I needed him more than the armor or any companies and landscapes of the world.
When I came back, Aiba was there and smiled.
Love... Love... Lovin' you
Always...
I'll always go to see you
Wondering what you are doing, I look up at the sky again
Although, I get impatient when there's no answer from it
There's my cowardice again
A guy's cowardice is kind of embarrassing... But that's what it was
Baby, I love...
Are you getting this?
Unable to break away, I'm still swimming in the memories even now
"Your luggage’s are ready and the Jet is waiting for you."
"Thank you." I hugged him.
"Don't, just go and take your princess back before another wolf steals him."
"I would rip his balls if it happened." I smirked and without waiting anymore, joined the taxi waiting for me.
The fly was quick and I reached Paris in 11 hours. I knew it wouldn't be difficult for me to find Jun but not that easy. There were many posters of him in the streets of Opéra's discreet. He was so damn beautiful in French's outfits. As the Ritz was closed for renovations, I went to the Crillon. This hotel was as amazing as rich salary men said and to be honest, I loved French's food, so, eating in a gastronomic restaurant was more than satisfying. I made some researches and found the date of Jun's new fashion show. Knowing lots of French stylists, I managed to book a seat in front of the podium because of my old friend, Karl Lagerfeld. I was so impatient and so nervous at the same time. What if Jun rejected me and didn't forgive me? It was a possibility after all.
The next day, I put my Armani costume and went to the place of the fashion show. It was full of celebrities and famous stylists but it wasn't them who interested me.
"Sho, it's great to see you again!"
"Oh, Karl, how are you?" I shook my friend's hand, taking my best French accent which wasn't very incredible as speaking in another language than Japanese was hard for me.
"Fine. I'm happy to see you but what are you doing here?"
"The main model is my boyfriend."
"Jun Matsumoto? My God, you're so lucky! If I was younger, I would have tried, he is gorgeous and full of talent."
"And he is mine." I replied with a smirk.
"Where are my 30 years old? I miss them." Karl sighed with a chuckle. "Do you want to see him before it starts?"
"No, I want to surprise him, he doesn't know I'm here."
"Then, surprise him, bring him to a nice restaurant and have fun all night." Karl winked. "See you inside."
"Yeah." I nodded.
I sat at my place and the lights switched off. Mannequins appeared, wearing certainly the new collection but as good looking as they were, they weren't my Jun. When I saw him, my heart fluttered. He was so beautiful! His hips were moving in a perfect way when he walked on the podium and my lover froze when our eyes met. But Jun reacted quickly and smiled to the crow as if nothing had happened. The show was very beautiful. I wasn't a fan of these kind of events but I liked it. And mostly Jun. It's him who closed the fashion show, wearing amazing clothes that fitted his body perfectly. Why didn't I come to his previous fashion shows before?! I was such an idiot. I felt jealous when the stylist gave him a big bouquet of flowers and kissed his cheek. Jun was grinning so much that I understood how important this work was for him. It was something serious. He loved to be a mannequin.
I wanna feel your love Blowing through me
Where's that melody going to?
I wanna feel your love I want to hold you close
In my dreams But you were mine
"What are you doing here?" Jun asked through the glass when he saw me behind him.
"I'm sorry for forgetting your fashion show in Tokyo."
"And you thought coming to this one would resolve everything?" Jun asked sarcastically.
"No. I'm here to take you back. I'll do everything to want to make you forgive me."
"I'm not in the mood, Sho."
"Have you met someone else?" I asked calmly, though, my fists clenched.
"What if it's the case?"
"I'll kill him for daring touch you. You're mine."
"I'm not yours anymore, Sho." It hurt. Hearing these words coming from him was painful.
"Jun, please. I know I acted like a scum but I want you back. I'll give up on everything for you."
"I didn't want you to give up on the important things for me. I just wanted to exist in your life."
"I know. Please, forgive me." Jun sighed and turned around to look at me.
"And to come back to the life we were dealing with? No."
"I'll give up on the armor."
"What?" Jun's eyes widened.
"This armor is useless without you. I won your heart because of it and if you leave me, there is no meaning in keeping it."
"Sho, you can't do that." Jun stood up and took his jacket.
"For you, I can."
"I'm not as important as this armor. Listen, let's forget what happened between us. People need you and this armor."
"But not the strong and unreachable Jun Matsumoto." I said sarcastically.
"If you want to think that. I have to go, I have to see someone very important."
"Maybe you didn't love me that much if you are able to replace me so easily." I snapped, wanting to hurt him. Jun looked at me with sad eyes but left anyway.
One more time Call me, call me
I can't say it Just tell me, tell me why
One last time Call me, call me
The words I'm repeating over and over are, “I wanna feel your love... You're the one for me”
I hit the wall next to me, angry. It couldn't end like that. I couldn't lose him. I was going to kill the bastard who was trying to steal him away from me.
I followed him and yes, realized he was saying the truth. He entered a restaurant and sat in front of a man who grinned at him. After several minutes of looking at them, I joined them, too angry and jealous to think properly.
"Sho, what are you doing here?!" Jun gasped when I grabbed the man's collar and hit him. "SHO!!! Are you crazy?!"
"He is mine!" I yelled at the man who looked at me with lost eyes.
"Matsumoto-san, what's fucking going on?!" The man snapped angrily.
"I'm sorry, Mr Grey, he confounded you with someone else." Jun helped him to stand up. "YOU, outside, NOW!" Jun ordered coldly. I realized I maybe had made a big mistake. "What were you thinking about?! Are you crazy?!" Jun yelled when we left the restaurant.
"I told you nobody would touch you."
"And you burst here and hit my future boss?!!"
"What?"
"Mr Grey is a big business man and wants to create something in Japan, he wanted me as his first model!"
"But... You said..."
"That I had to see someone very important! Shit, because of you, I've maybe lost a contract of 5 000 000 yens!"
"I..."
"Idiot!!!" Jun screamed and left angrily. Okay, I maybe acted like a dick but he was the one who had lied to me.
"Stupid diva!" I yelled back.
"Fuck you, Sakurai!" Jun replied.
I wanna feel your love I'm frozen
Who does warmth belong to?
I wanna feel your love Shedding tears wishing for it
Remembering and then forgetting And you were mine
I'm praying for your future
In fact, I was angry at myself because I had spoilt my last chance to have him back. I grabbed my phone, needing to talk to my best friend.
"Masaki? It's over, I acted like an idiot and Jun rejected me." I said through the line.
"Sho Sakurai, I warn you, you can do what you want but don't you dare come back without him! You acted like an idiot? He is used to, we all know you're an idiot!"
"Thanks..." I mumbled.
"What I mean is Jun knows how you react when it comes to show your feelings, you two are so stupid and stubborn, it's like mixing sugar and salt in a cake, if you put too much salt or too much sugar, it turns bad! Run after him or put the armor to kidnap him but don't let him go now or you will both regret it!"
"But he..."
"You know Jun can react without thinking when he is angry, I'm sure he already regrets it!"
"Okay. Thank you, Masa."
"Thank me by giving me an augmentation when you come back." Aiba joked.
"I will." I chuckled and hung up. My friend had given me some courage, I was right to call him. But how could I take him back now? Maybe Masaki was right and I should put the armor to convince him. After all, he always said I was very sexy inside.
I quickly joined my hotel and took my armor. Looking for Jun in Paris would be hard even if it wasn't a town as big as Tokyo. But it didn't take me long to find him when I heard screams. My jaw clenched when I found a band of yankees around Jun who was trying to calm them down.
"Leave him alone."
"Oh, it's carnival now?" One of them laughed.
"Or maybe Halloween, we aren't the 31th October though." A second smirked.
"Leave him alone or I swear your hands won't have any bones at the end of the night." I repeated.
"So scary~" The man holding a knife chuckled.
"I've warned you." I shrugged and walked toward him. The man's smile disappeared when he realized I wasn't scared at all and I grabbed his wrist, making his bones crack.
"BASTARD!!!!" The man yelled in pain.
"I told you so." I smirked. "Who's next?" I turned toward the others who stared at each other with questioning eyes before all nodding and running toward me together. Their knives hit the armor without even damaging it. I threw one of them against the wall and my knee met the sensitive parts of the second who collapsed on his knees with a scream of pain. "Sorry, it's metal, it hurts a bit." I smirked before breaking the last man's arm.
"Hey!" Jun protested when I lifted him in my arms to leave the ground. "Put me down, Sho!"
"No."
"I'm not a fucking girl in distress, release me!! I could have dealed with it myself!"
"Of course." I smirked.
"Put me down!!!" Jun struggled. Stupid stubborn man.
"Oh, shut up!" I yelled, making him blink. "You'd better shut your pretty mouth because you gave me a heart attack!"
"You can't have a heart attack." Jun muttered.
Rrrrgg this man would be the death of me.
"Shut up or I swear I'll tie you up on my bed, will gag you and leave you naked." I rumbled. Jun sighed and leaned his head against my chest. I smiled when I saw him staring at the landscape with shining eyes. "No one showed you a view like that before, ne?" I smirked.
"Shut up." Jun mumbled, blushing.
"I'm the only one able to show you the world and to make you reach paradise."
"You're not that good in bed." Jun replied.
"That's why you always scream like a princess and beg me for more." I smirked and stopped on the top of the Arc de triomphe.
"I don't beg nor scream. It's called simulation." Jun lied.
"Too bad, you're the best I ever tried in bed." I sighed.
"What are we doing here, Sho?"
"I won't let you leave this peak unless you forgive me and come back to me."
"It's useless." Jun replied, sitting on the edge.
"If you want to leave this peak without taking me back, you'll have to jump but something tells me you will most look like a crepe at the end than a mannequin." I smirked.
"I prefer to jump." Jun snapped, but didn't move. I sighed, stubborn diva. My lover stared at the view, lost in his thoughts. After what felt like hours, Jun looked at me. "I don't want you to stop with this armor nor your work. But I want you to spend less time at doing interviews and parading."
"No problem."
"I don't want to come back to what we were. This fashion show was very important and all I found was an empty seat."
"I'm so sorry."
"I don't want that to happen again except if the town is burning or if someone is going to be killed."
"I promise."
"Don't promise. You didn't hold your promise the last time. I want proves of your honesty." Jun stood up with a frown.
"I'll show you."
"And a last thing..." My eyes widened when he made a step back and fell in the gap.
"JUN!!!" I screamed and without thinking, jumped and caught him just when he was about to touch the ground. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!"
"I knew you would catch me. You can't let me die, I'm too good in bed after all." Jun smirked.
"Idiot!" I snapped and hugged him. "You're going to kill me one day."
"I've never made love on the top of the Arc de Triomphe." Jun chuckled. I smiled under my mask and two seconds later, we were both laid on the peak, devouring each other's lips and stripping.
"I told you so, princess." I smirked and gave a big thrust, making him scream in pleasure.
"Shut u-p..." Jun panted.
"We'll have to fuck in the sky one day." I added, sucking his neck.
"I'm looking forward to it. You'd better hold your promise or I swear I'll jump the next time."
"Shut up, princess." I kissed him roughly.
"And once more thing?" Jun managed to say between our lips.
"Hun?"
"You will bring me in week-end once per month in a different country. I want to fly in the sky of the entire world."
"Okay. I can even swear I'll fuck you in every famous monument of the world."
Jun rolled his eyes and put his hand on the magnet on my chest. I shivered at his touch, wondering if it disgusted him. I moaned softly when Jun kissed it lovingly.
"I love you."
"Me too."
"Let's go to the Louvres, I want to make love in Napoleon's apartment."
This guy was too weird for me.
"We can even make love in front of the Jocund."
"No way, her eyes can see everything, it would be creepy." Jun replied.
"Because making love in a dead's man bed is less creepy?" I arched an eyebrow mockingly.
"At least, he was rich and I bet his bed is good." Jun smirked.
I laughed and after putting my armor and him, his clothes, raised him in my arms, in princess style and left the monument.
After all he really was my princess but I would never dare tell him. He would be able to prevent me to touch him for a long time while I really wanted to make love in the White house.
Owari~
A/N: So, now is really the end, it was fun to write this kind of fic, Jun really looks like Sho's princess though, he would always try to impose himself of course xD The song was sugar and salt obviously ;) Another Sakumoto has ended but I'll work on a new one that will be funny with a bit of angst and lots of sex ;)
See you soon :)

This epilogue is a kind of request from Shinigamiami. Okay, it's too long to be called an epilogue but I couldn't make it shorter, I hope you will like it dear :)
Epilogue:
I wanna feel your love Blowing through me
Where's that melody going to?
I wanna feel your love I want to hold you close
In my dreams But you were mine
I remember who the moment our eyes met
It felt like I was floating Sugar and salt
At times, sweet So sweet Then bitter It was so fleeting
As if it had arranged it, from the sky fell an evening shower
Jun's pov:
After what happened with Ayashi, my relationship with Sho changed a lot. I decided to open my heart and trust him. The beginnings were hard as I was dealing with someone as stubborn as me. We fought a lot for stupid things though, we always made up in bed. I had moved in his apartment (or rather palace) for ten months and even if I wasn't a fan of luxurious, I got used to all the gadgets in his house. To be honest, being surrounded by technology when you made love was sometimes very useful. Sho was still using his armor and when he came home, I was already asleep and didn't see him. He just slipped in our bed and pulled me in his arms against his well-built chest. At the beginning, it didn't bother me and I thought Iron Sho was very sexy but as time passed, I started to hate this armor because I couldn't spend lots of time with my lover. He had a big company to hold and I traveled in Japan a lot because of my work. I had stopped being a journalist because my revenge was over but an agency had contacted me to pose as model. I didn't really take it seriously, thinking it would be fun but I hadn't expected to become so famous. I quickly worked more and started to do fashion shows for big brands. And for my biggest surprise, I loved it. It was very funny and I liked to pose and wear many clothes. But it also took me lots of time. We were both busy but never had moments together because Sho always had some work to do. His company, the armor and the success of the armor. Everybody wanted to know who was this hero under this metal armor. Sho made many interviews for magazines and TV without revealing his identity. I was proud of him but this situation made me suffer. I wanted to see him more than five minutes in the kitchen and to go to the restaurant or the funfair. I missed him even if I was living with him.
"Tadaima." I heard Sho entering the house.
"Okaeri." I smiled when his arms wrapped my waist from behind to kiss my neck.
"How was your day?"
"Good. I have a fashion show in one week. Will you come?"
"When exactly?"
"Saturday." I heard Sho sighing and pulled away angrily. "You won't come again."
"I have an important meeting."
"Of course." I growled.
"What does it mean?"
"You always have an important meeting, Sho. We date for almost one year and how many times did you come to my fashion shows? Never." I exclaimed angrily.
"I know but I have a company to hold!"
"So, my work is so less important that keeping two hours for me is too much to ask?!"
"I've never said that!"
"Don't take me for an idiot. I know you don't care about my job, you only care for yours and for Mr Iron Sho!"
"You're unfair!"
"No, just honest! We barely see each other, we haven't made love for two weeks and you just think about the armor and its success! What are you doing with me if you don't even have five minutes for me?!" I cried, leaving the kitchen angrily and slamming our bedroom's door roughly. I opened the glass of the balcony and lit a cigarette to calm my nerves. Soon, I heard Sho opening the glass and stiffened when my lover wrapped me from behind.
"I'm sorry." Sho whispered.
"It's easy to be sorry, it doesn't change anything." I snapped.
"I'll make more efforts. I'll come to see you Saturday, I promise."
"Really?" I turned around, arching an eyebrow.
"Hun. I've neglected you too much, you're right. It's just hard to deal with everything."
"I know. I don't want you to be perfect, Sho. You do your best in your work and it's a good thing but I would like not to be forgotten. I come to your parties with these hypocrites salary men and even if it's boring, I come for you. This fashion show is very important, it will sign the future of my career."
"I'm sorry. I'll change, promise." Sho stroked my cheek and brought our lips together. "Now, let's change the fact we haven't fucked for two weeks." Sho exclaimed, making me laugh. "I'll make love to you the whole night."
"Go on, then, my sexy workaholic multimillionaire."
"I knew you only loved my money." Sho smirked while pushing me on our bed.
"Why would I be with you if not?" I joked. "Certainly not for this amazing sexy ass." I slapped his butt, making him moan. "Or not for those lips that drive me crazy anytime they kiss me." I added, licking his mouth.
"And not my big boy that brings you to paradise everyday." Sho entered me, making me moan.
"Certainly not..." I managed to whine before letting him do what he wanted.
(One day)
Going to a restaurant again
Going to the movies again
Going on a drive again, I learn more about you
And again, we've become somewhat similar to each other
A plain canvas is being spread with color
Your left ear was leaning against my shoulder (Yeah)
Our connected hands shook with meaning (Yeah)
Since when had we both gotten stubborn
One day at a time, the scenery keeps passing by
We made love with passion, our bodies moving in a perfect way like always. Sex with Sho was like Heaven anytime we did it. He knew my body so well that bringing me to paradise was very easy now.
This week, Sho made lots of effort to be more at home and spend time with me. We made love even more and ate at the restaurant like every normal couple. I was happy to find my old lover who acted like a silly teenager like before, bringing me flowers, taking me to romantic places. Even if I loved the rough Sho, I also loved the sweet Sho who was able to make me blush like a school girl.
Saturday came fast and I waited for him with impatience. This fashion show was very important as I was the first model, the one who would close the event with the master piece. I was very nervous and my hands were shaking as a woman was working on my make-up.
"You'll do great." A voice chuckled.
"Masaki! Hiroshi, you came!" I exclaimed happily.
"We couldn't miss that." Aiba grinned.
"I'll never make it." I whined, my face turning even whiter.
"You'll make it. You did great until now and you will do great tonight." Hiroshi smiled, approved by his lover.
"If Hiroki is satisfied, he wants to send me France for a new brand. It's a good opportunity but I won't accept."
"Why?"
"I won't leave Sho for six months, it's too much." I replied.
"You should talk about it tonight with Sho." Aiba patted my shoulder.
"Where is he by the way?" I checked the clock.
"Maybe on the way. It starts in ten minutes and his planning was tighttoday."
"He has a seat just in front of the podium like you." I winked.
"Sugoi!"
"We let you finish your preparation, see you in some minutes." Hiroshi smiled and wrapped his lover's waist, throwing a death look to the stylist who was staring at Aiba too much. "Sorry dear but he is taken." Hiroshi snapped possessively, making Aiba laugh.
"Baka." I chuckled.
It's with nervousness that I opened the fashion show but knowing Sho would be here relaxed me a little. I walked on the stage, trying to do my best as first model but my smile vanished when I saw Sho's empty seat next to Aiba who threw me an apologetic look. I forced a smile not to spoil my work and kept walking. At the beginning, I thought Sho was just late but at the end of the fashion show, his seat was still empty and I almost cried in front of everybody. After the show, Hiroki came next to me and offered me a big bouquet of roses before we bowed deeply to the people. I held back my tears and at the second Hiroki allowed me, I left for my apartment.
My heart broke when I crossed the biggest road of Shibuya and saw one of the biggest screens of the towers. Sho was appearing on it under his armor, a journalist asking him questions.
(Baby)
Your hands were so much more slender than mine
Your soft slender hands
Ah, untangling our entwined fingers
My mind is swimming in the memories
I wanna feel your love I'm frozen
Who does warmth belong to?
I wanna feel your love Shedding tears wishing for it
Remembering and then forgetting And you were mine
"So, does the man under this armor is already taken or is he free for a hoping girl?" The woman asked.
"I have nobody because this armor takes lots of time."
I bit my lip and ran away, not wanting to hear more. So, he was alone? He didn't have any lover? Alright, his wish would come true.
The house was empty and I grabbed my bag to pack my things. I would go to Paris. I would pose for the biggest brands alone. I couldn't live with someone who preferred his career than his lover.
"Jun, wait!"Aiba protested when I left the house.
"He promised. He promised he would be here and didn't come. He even said he was free. It's better if I stop everything now before suffering more." I sobbed and kissed my friend's cheeks before climbing in a taxi. "Narita airport, please."
****
Sho's pov:
Dealing with a company, an armor and a boyfriend was harder than I thought. I hadn't much free time because of all my meetings and the work I did the night under the armor. I tried to do everything but when I saw Jun crying and saying I didn't care about him, I realized how much I had hurt him. Jun was everything to me. I needed him, his presence appeased me and having him in my arms helped me to be stronger. I loved him so much, yet, I had hurt him. Seeing him crying was the worst for me. I hated that. I needed his smile and happiness more than anything; that's why I promised him to change and be more present for him. It was true, I had never been to one of his fashion shows. It's not it didn't interest me but I was too busy to go, yet, I wanted to see him on a podium. He was so beautiful and I was so proud of him. I promised I would change and assist to this so important fashion show because I didn't want to lose him.
I prepared everything, I canceled my meetings for the company and booked a bouquet of blue daisy as he loved these flowers. But nothing turned like I expected.
"Sakurai-san, a journalist wants an interview with Iron Sho." My concealer said.
"When?"
"Saturday night."
"I'm busy Saturday night."
"I'll propose him another day."
I stroked my eyes tiredly. I hadn't slept a lot for several days to be able to spend some time with Jun. It was hard to find the perfect timing between my work and my social life. Maybe I should forget the armor if I didn't want to lose Jun. He was more important after all.
This week was a hell, I ran everywhere, saw a lot of clients and rescued many people by night. I was almost forgetting my own name.
"Sakurai-san, the journalist insists for Saturday."
"Which journalist?" I asked between a yawn and a phone call.
"The one who wants to ask you questions about the armor."
"Ah. Tell him I'll be there Saturday night, then." I shrugged.
I didn't even realize I had made a big mistake. I went to this interview, lying when she asked me if I was free. I preferred to lie not to put Jun in danger. If someone learned for us, my lover would be certainly threatened.
I took off my armor in the changing room and left, joining Shibuya's people crow. I raised my eyes to look at the screen and froze in the middle of the street.
"Tonight was the biggest fashion show of the famous stylist, Hiroki Narimiya. As expected, his first model, Matsumoto Jun did great and gave us an unforgettable show." The caster explained.
"SHIT!!!" I screamed and climbed in my Ferrari to go home as quickly as possible. Jun would kill me this time. "Jun?!" I called when I entered our house. I heard some noises from the living room and walked toward it. "Babe, I'm so sorry, I know I promised to be here but..."
"But you forgot." I gasped when I saw Aiba on the sofa with angry eyes.
"Masaki..."
"You promised him, Sho."
"I know but I'm exhausted, I forgot and..."
"It was a very important fashion show, not just a caprice. Jun needed you and you weren't here."
"I can explain. Where is he?"
"Not here. He left."
"When will he come back?"
"He left, Sho."Aiba repeated. After some seconds, my eyes widened in shock.
"You're kidding."
"No. He left and he even left Japan."
"What?!"
"His boss proposed him a new contract in France for six months. He was about to refuse not to leave you for all this time but after what happened tonight, you can guess he finally changed his mind."
"I'll find him."
"Don't go, Sho."
"What?!"
"You hurt him a lot. Even if he forgave you, what will you give him after? You will make up, come back and will stay the same than before. Nothing will change and he will suffer more and will leave you again."
"What do you propose, then?!"
"I'm not you, Sho. My only wish is to see you happy but Jun is also my friend. You can't deal with all this work and your boyfriend needs you. If you want to keep him, you will have to make choices. I know you do your best but Jun can't be here just for the decoration, he isn't a carpet."
"I know!!"
"Make a choice, Sho. But if you want to keep your life like before, forget him. Let him go and be happy with someone else. Choose your priorities."
Masaki patted my shoulder with a sad smile and left. I knew he didn't want to hurt me and only tried to make me take the best decision. He was right, even if Jun forgave me, if I didn't really change, our lives would go back to what they were before. I had to choose and make some sacrifices. My company and Iron Sho were too much work to let me some time for my lover. The question was, what would I choose. My company was my life, I had built it myself and loved my work. The armor wasn't something I couldn't live without but what about the people? Was I able to stop and let them? Or did I have to make a cross on my love life?
I put the armor and left my apartment, hoping the sky of Tokyo would help me to take a decision. The view was amazing just like Jun loved it.
And suddenly, I realized something.
As amazing as this view was, it was insipid if Jun wasn't with me to watch it. I was used to take him in my arms to fly above the town and show him the most beautiful landscapes but now Jun wasn't here, it was useless. Even the most amazing views of the world wouldn't interest or touch me if Jun wasn't by my side to admire it. I needed him. I needed him more than the armor or any companies and landscapes of the world.
When I came back, Aiba was there and smiled.
Love... Love... Lovin' you
Always...
I'll always go to see you
Wondering what you are doing, I look up at the sky again
Although, I get impatient when there's no answer from it
There's my cowardice again
A guy's cowardice is kind of embarrassing... But that's what it was
Baby, I love...
Are you getting this?
Unable to break away, I'm still swimming in the memories even now
"Your luggage’s are ready and the Jet is waiting for you."
"Thank you." I hugged him.
"Don't, just go and take your princess back before another wolf steals him."
"I would rip his balls if it happened." I smirked and without waiting anymore, joined the taxi waiting for me.
The fly was quick and I reached Paris in 11 hours. I knew it wouldn't be difficult for me to find Jun but not that easy. There were many posters of him in the streets of Opéra's discreet. He was so damn beautiful in French's outfits. As the Ritz was closed for renovations, I went to the Crillon. This hotel was as amazing as rich salary men said and to be honest, I loved French's food, so, eating in a gastronomic restaurant was more than satisfying. I made some researches and found the date of Jun's new fashion show. Knowing lots of French stylists, I managed to book a seat in front of the podium because of my old friend, Karl Lagerfeld. I was so impatient and so nervous at the same time. What if Jun rejected me and didn't forgive me? It was a possibility after all.
The next day, I put my Armani costume and went to the place of the fashion show. It was full of celebrities and famous stylists but it wasn't them who interested me.
"Sho, it's great to see you again!"
"Oh, Karl, how are you?" I shook my friend's hand, taking my best French accent which wasn't very incredible as speaking in another language than Japanese was hard for me.
"Fine. I'm happy to see you but what are you doing here?"
"The main model is my boyfriend."
"Jun Matsumoto? My God, you're so lucky! If I was younger, I would have tried, he is gorgeous and full of talent."
"And he is mine." I replied with a smirk.
"Where are my 30 years old? I miss them." Karl sighed with a chuckle. "Do you want to see him before it starts?"
"No, I want to surprise him, he doesn't know I'm here."
"Then, surprise him, bring him to a nice restaurant and have fun all night." Karl winked. "See you inside."
"Yeah." I nodded.
I sat at my place and the lights switched off. Mannequins appeared, wearing certainly the new collection but as good looking as they were, they weren't my Jun. When I saw him, my heart fluttered. He was so beautiful! His hips were moving in a perfect way when he walked on the podium and my lover froze when our eyes met. But Jun reacted quickly and smiled to the crow as if nothing had happened. The show was very beautiful. I wasn't a fan of these kind of events but I liked it. And mostly Jun. It's him who closed the fashion show, wearing amazing clothes that fitted his body perfectly. Why didn't I come to his previous fashion shows before?! I was such an idiot. I felt jealous when the stylist gave him a big bouquet of flowers and kissed his cheek. Jun was grinning so much that I understood how important this work was for him. It was something serious. He loved to be a mannequin.
I wanna feel your love Blowing through me
Where's that melody going to?
I wanna feel your love I want to hold you close
In my dreams But you were mine
"What are you doing here?" Jun asked through the glass when he saw me behind him.
"I'm sorry for forgetting your fashion show in Tokyo."
"And you thought coming to this one would resolve everything?" Jun asked sarcastically.
"No. I'm here to take you back. I'll do everything to want to make you forgive me."
"I'm not in the mood, Sho."
"Have you met someone else?" I asked calmly, though, my fists clenched.
"What if it's the case?"
"I'll kill him for daring touch you. You're mine."
"I'm not yours anymore, Sho." It hurt. Hearing these words coming from him was painful.
"Jun, please. I know I acted like a scum but I want you back. I'll give up on everything for you."
"I didn't want you to give up on the important things for me. I just wanted to exist in your life."
"I know. Please, forgive me." Jun sighed and turned around to look at me.
"And to come back to the life we were dealing with? No."
"I'll give up on the armor."
"What?" Jun's eyes widened.
"This armor is useless without you. I won your heart because of it and if you leave me, there is no meaning in keeping it."
"Sho, you can't do that." Jun stood up and took his jacket.
"For you, I can."
"I'm not as important as this armor. Listen, let's forget what happened between us. People need you and this armor."
"But not the strong and unreachable Jun Matsumoto." I said sarcastically.
"If you want to think that. I have to go, I have to see someone very important."
"Maybe you didn't love me that much if you are able to replace me so easily." I snapped, wanting to hurt him. Jun looked at me with sad eyes but left anyway.
One more time Call me, call me
I can't say it Just tell me, tell me why
One last time Call me, call me
The words I'm repeating over and over are, “I wanna feel your love... You're the one for me”
I hit the wall next to me, angry. It couldn't end like that. I couldn't lose him. I was going to kill the bastard who was trying to steal him away from me.
I followed him and yes, realized he was saying the truth. He entered a restaurant and sat in front of a man who grinned at him. After several minutes of looking at them, I joined them, too angry and jealous to think properly.
"Sho, what are you doing here?!" Jun gasped when I grabbed the man's collar and hit him. "SHO!!! Are you crazy?!"
"He is mine!" I yelled at the man who looked at me with lost eyes.
"Matsumoto-san, what's fucking going on?!" The man snapped angrily.
"I'm sorry, Mr Grey, he confounded you with someone else." Jun helped him to stand up. "YOU, outside, NOW!" Jun ordered coldly. I realized I maybe had made a big mistake. "What were you thinking about?! Are you crazy?!" Jun yelled when we left the restaurant.
"I told you nobody would touch you."
"And you burst here and hit my future boss?!!"
"What?"
"Mr Grey is a big business man and wants to create something in Japan, he wanted me as his first model!"
"But... You said..."
"That I had to see someone very important! Shit, because of you, I've maybe lost a contract of 5 000 000 yens!"
"I..."
"Idiot!!!" Jun screamed and left angrily. Okay, I maybe acted like a dick but he was the one who had lied to me.
"Stupid diva!" I yelled back.
"Fuck you, Sakurai!" Jun replied.
I wanna feel your love I'm frozen
Who does warmth belong to?
I wanna feel your love Shedding tears wishing for it
Remembering and then forgetting And you were mine
I'm praying for your future
In fact, I was angry at myself because I had spoilt my last chance to have him back. I grabbed my phone, needing to talk to my best friend.
"Masaki? It's over, I acted like an idiot and Jun rejected me." I said through the line.
"Sho Sakurai, I warn you, you can do what you want but don't you dare come back without him! You acted like an idiot? He is used to, we all know you're an idiot!"
"Thanks..." I mumbled.
"What I mean is Jun knows how you react when it comes to show your feelings, you two are so stupid and stubborn, it's like mixing sugar and salt in a cake, if you put too much salt or too much sugar, it turns bad! Run after him or put the armor to kidnap him but don't let him go now or you will both regret it!"
"But he..."
"You know Jun can react without thinking when he is angry, I'm sure he already regrets it!"
"Okay. Thank you, Masa."
"Thank me by giving me an augmentation when you come back." Aiba joked.
"I will." I chuckled and hung up. My friend had given me some courage, I was right to call him. But how could I take him back now? Maybe Masaki was right and I should put the armor to convince him. After all, he always said I was very sexy inside.
I quickly joined my hotel and took my armor. Looking for Jun in Paris would be hard even if it wasn't a town as big as Tokyo. But it didn't take me long to find him when I heard screams. My jaw clenched when I found a band of yankees around Jun who was trying to calm them down.
"Leave him alone."
"Oh, it's carnival now?" One of them laughed.
"Or maybe Halloween, we aren't the 31th October though." A second smirked.
"Leave him alone or I swear your hands won't have any bones at the end of the night." I repeated.
"So scary~" The man holding a knife chuckled.
"I've warned you." I shrugged and walked toward him. The man's smile disappeared when he realized I wasn't scared at all and I grabbed his wrist, making his bones crack.
"BASTARD!!!!" The man yelled in pain.
"I told you so." I smirked. "Who's next?" I turned toward the others who stared at each other with questioning eyes before all nodding and running toward me together. Their knives hit the armor without even damaging it. I threw one of them against the wall and my knee met the sensitive parts of the second who collapsed on his knees with a scream of pain. "Sorry, it's metal, it hurts a bit." I smirked before breaking the last man's arm.
"Hey!" Jun protested when I lifted him in my arms to leave the ground. "Put me down, Sho!"
"No."
"I'm not a fucking girl in distress, release me!! I could have dealed with it myself!"
"Of course." I smirked.
"Put me down!!!" Jun struggled. Stupid stubborn man.
"Oh, shut up!" I yelled, making him blink. "You'd better shut your pretty mouth because you gave me a heart attack!"
"You can't have a heart attack." Jun muttered.
Rrrrgg this man would be the death of me.
"Shut up or I swear I'll tie you up on my bed, will gag you and leave you naked." I rumbled. Jun sighed and leaned his head against my chest. I smiled when I saw him staring at the landscape with shining eyes. "No one showed you a view like that before, ne?" I smirked.
"Shut up." Jun mumbled, blushing.
"I'm the only one able to show you the world and to make you reach paradise."
"You're not that good in bed." Jun replied.
"That's why you always scream like a princess and beg me for more." I smirked and stopped on the top of the Arc de triomphe.
"I don't beg nor scream. It's called simulation." Jun lied.
"Too bad, you're the best I ever tried in bed." I sighed.
"What are we doing here, Sho?"
"I won't let you leave this peak unless you forgive me and come back to me."
"It's useless." Jun replied, sitting on the edge.
"If you want to leave this peak without taking me back, you'll have to jump but something tells me you will most look like a crepe at the end than a mannequin." I smirked.
"I prefer to jump." Jun snapped, but didn't move. I sighed, stubborn diva. My lover stared at the view, lost in his thoughts. After what felt like hours, Jun looked at me. "I don't want you to stop with this armor nor your work. But I want you to spend less time at doing interviews and parading."
"No problem."
"I don't want to come back to what we were. This fashion show was very important and all I found was an empty seat."
"I'm so sorry."
"I don't want that to happen again except if the town is burning or if someone is going to be killed."
"I promise."
"Don't promise. You didn't hold your promise the last time. I want proves of your honesty." Jun stood up with a frown.
"I'll show you."
"And a last thing..." My eyes widened when he made a step back and fell in the gap.
"JUN!!!" I screamed and without thinking, jumped and caught him just when he was about to touch the ground. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!!!"
"I knew you would catch me. You can't let me die, I'm too good in bed after all." Jun smirked.
"Idiot!" I snapped and hugged him. "You're going to kill me one day."
"I've never made love on the top of the Arc de Triomphe." Jun chuckled. I smiled under my mask and two seconds later, we were both laid on the peak, devouring each other's lips and stripping.
"I told you so, princess." I smirked and gave a big thrust, making him scream in pleasure.
"Shut u-p..." Jun panted.
"We'll have to fuck in the sky one day." I added, sucking his neck.
"I'm looking forward to it. You'd better hold your promise or I swear I'll jump the next time."
"Shut up, princess." I kissed him roughly.
"And once more thing?" Jun managed to say between our lips.
"Hun?"
"You will bring me in week-end once per month in a different country. I want to fly in the sky of the entire world."
"Okay. I can even swear I'll fuck you in every famous monument of the world."
Jun rolled his eyes and put his hand on the magnet on my chest. I shivered at his touch, wondering if it disgusted him. I moaned softly when Jun kissed it lovingly.
"I love you."
"Me too."
"Let's go to the Louvres, I want to make love in Napoleon's apartment."
This guy was too weird for me.
"We can even make love in front of the Jocund."
"No way, her eyes can see everything, it would be creepy." Jun replied.
"Because making love in a dead's man bed is less creepy?" I arched an eyebrow mockingly.
"At least, he was rich and I bet his bed is good." Jun smirked.
I laughed and after putting my armor and him, his clothes, raised him in my arms, in princess style and left the monument.
After all he really was my princess but I would never dare tell him. He would be able to prevent me to touch him for a long time while I really wanted to make love in the White house.
Owari~
A/N: So, now is really the end, it was fun to write this kind of fic, Jun really looks like Sho's princess though, he would always try to impose himself of course xD The song was sugar and salt obviously ;) Another Sakumoto has ended but I'll work on a new one that will be funny with a bit of angst and lots of sex ;)
See you soon :)
