Heart Shaped Clock - Chapter 15
To his pleasant astonishment, Tora was one of the only people without a hangover that morning. He'd been curtly awoken by a jab in the stomach as Shou sprang up from the couch and sprinted to the bathroom. The elder rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly got up. Weaving his way through the maze of empty bottles, rubbish and bodies.
Leaning against the bathroom door, he witnessed the content of his lover's stomach empty from his body quite rapidly.
"Are you okay baby?" He asked, pulling the door closed so that the rest of the apartment wouldn't hear him.
"Not really" The younger croaked, before wrenching into the toilet bowl again.
"Would you like me to get you some water?"
"Please"
Returning with the glass of water, Shou seemed slightly deflated. On his knees with his body slumped against the wall and cheek resting on the toilet seat.
"I'm not gonna even begin to tell you how unhygienic that is" Tora laughed as he handed him the glass of water and some aspirin, earning him a dry look as if to say "Do I look like that's my main problem right now?"
The elder guided Shou back to the living room, almost laughing at the sight of everyone else. They must have woken up while he was in the bathroom, but They all looked like they were in hell, Hitsugi, Aki, Nao and Pon squashed together on the couch, whilst Ruki lay on the floor with an ice pack over his forehead.
Miyavi meanwhile, look perfectly happy sat on the other couch with a large bowl of instant ramen, Mogu curled up against his leg, staring at the noodles with hungry eyes.
"Do you have to do that Miyavi" Aki snapped, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Do what?"
"Eat that right in front of us!"
Miyavi grinned, holding the bowl out towards the group teasingly.
"No I don't have to, but it's so fun trying to guess which of you will be the first to puke".
The others groaned and slumped even further into their seats, which looked even more hilarious to Tora.
"Right you guys" He announced with a clap, which caused most of the rooms inhabitants to wince. "I think I'm gonna take Sir-Vomits-a-lot over here home" he laughed, patting his queezy lover on the shoulder.
"Alright, well thanks for coming last night, I hope you both had a good time" Nao said, his voice husky and tired.
"We had a great time, best new years ever" Tora cheered, throwing his arm non too gently around Shou "See you guys later then" He smiled, guiding Shou towards the door.
"Pull over" Shou cried frantically "Quick pull over I'm gonna puke" Tora swiftly did as he was told, thankful that there wasn't any traffic at that time. As soon as he stopped, Shou bailed from the car, running to a nearby side alley. The elder took the liberty of parking the car, joining him in the grimy back street.
"Are you okay?" He asked, soothing the youngers back softly.
Shou wiped his mouth and shook his head slightly.
"You go on home, I'll walk from here. The car just makes me feel worse" he sighed.
"But it's like, a 45 minute walk away"
"The fresh air will do me good"
"Only if you're sure" Tora said feeling somewhat sympathetic, His teen years were spent in an almost continuous hangover. Shou only nodded in response, leaning over and gagging.
"Alright then honey, take your time" The elder replied, leaving him to it.
Tora was on his computer in the office, looking over his emails so that he was set for returning to work the next day. It had been almost two hours since he'd parted from Shou. He knew that Shou was a big boy who could take care of himself, but it did little to put him at ease. It was only when he heard the sound of a key in the front door did he relax.
Short lived however.
"Tora" A hushed voice called "Tora where are you?"
"In the office"
A moment later Shou appeared in the doorway, still wrapped up in his thick winter coat. There was something strange about the way he was stood, his arm tucked closely to his chest, the other hand scratching at something just inside the opening of his coat.
"You look a little better, how're you feeling?" Tora asked, turning his chair to face him properly.
"Yeah I'm fine now" He shrugged "look Tora, I need to tell you something"
"What is it?"
Instead of expressing himself through words, Shou scooped out whatever was safely hidden in his coat and held it out to Tora with a huge smile on his face "Look!"
"Oh God! What IS that?" He gasped in horror, reeling back in his chair.
"What do you mean what is that? It's a kitten"
Tora would've highly doubted that, looking at the creature in Shou's hands. Mossy brown and black fur matted to it's small, skeletal body. It's face was another story entirely. Big silver eyes bulged from it's skull, and gave it and ugly, gormless expression. Defiantly not what he'd describe as a cat, maybe a goblin or gargoil, but most certainly not a house hold animal.
"Are you sure?"
Shou frowned in mock annoyance "Yes I'm sure"
"What is it doing in our house?"
"Well" Shou began, perching himself on the edge of the desk next to Tora "I was walking back, and I saw this car suddenly slam on the breaks, and then this little kitten ran out from infront of it and bolted past me into a shop entrance. So I went over to see if it was okay and to check it's collar for an owner but it didn't have one. I couldn't leave him out there on his own, he looked terrified"
"So? What are we supposed to do with ... that thing?" Tora asked, scrunching his nose up at it.
The look on Shou's face hinted at what they were going to do with it.
"Oh no, no we are not keeping it" The elder protested.
"Please baby" Large brown puppy eyes pleaded with him, lips curving into a small pout. He held up the small kitten to his cheek, making it wave a paw at him.
"No! Get rid of it"
But Shou was adamant, "Oh pleeeease, just look at him, Have a heart, he has no one else to love him. Please, you can get rid of him when I die, I just can't abandon him now" He whined "Please please please"
Tora threw his hands up in exasperation, he knew he wasn't going to win, not when Shou opened up a can of puppy-dog eyes.
"Oh for fuck sake, FINE, you can keep the damn thing" He groaned, much to Shou's delight.
"I really hate you sometimes y'know"
"No you don't" The brunette cheered, giving him a loving hug. "Thank you babe, I love you I love you I love you"
"Just go and give it a bath, it stinks" He frowned, pinching his nose. Shou laughed and leaned down, kissing him on the cheek before practically skipping off into the kitchen, the small goblin still tucked in his arms.
He turned back to his computer and sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose before putting his reading glasses back on. Looking back at his screen, he saw an email from his brother. He opened it, expecting the usual not safe for work content of hilarious pictures or video that Touya felt the desperate need to share with him. Instead he was greeted by, indeed photographs, but ones that put an instant smile on his face.
They were photo's from Boxing day at his parents house, The first one was of Touya and himself, mid laugh. There were various ones of him and his parents and him with Shou. One photograph in particular made him smile. It was of himself, Shou and Tomoya, who sat inbetween them as they all beamed brightly, showing peace signs. He had to admit, it was the best photo of the lot. He scrolled down a bit more, noticing a message written under the last picture.
-Hi Tora,
It was great seeing you again, it's been far too long. You should bring Shou over sometime and we can all have drinks again. Anyway, here's some photos from the other day :D
See you soon.
p.s Tell Shou that I'm sorry about the last picture, Nobuko insisted that it was too adorable and that I send it anyway. -
Scrolling down a little more, his heart melted, the very last photo was of Shou with Tomoya curled up on his lap, both of them asleep. He had to agree with Nobuko, it was far too adorable. He knew what his new phone wall paper was going to be.
"Ouch!" He heard Shou cry out from the kitchen, making him reflexly jump to his feet and run in.
"What happened?" He asked, stopping abruptly at the door frame.
Shou stood at the sink, rubbing his forearm with a small frown.
"I was trying to put him into the sink but he sunk his claws into my arms"
Tora approached him and took a closer look at the damage. Deep scratch marks ran across the inside of his right forearm, dribbling with blood.
"Ouch, that looks nasty" He murdered.
"It's nothing, just stings like a bitch" Shou dismissed "My Grandma's cat used to do worse"
Tora glared at the kitten that was trying to clamber out of the sink, pointing his finger at it,
"Listen here you, I'll let you stay, but you better not injure Shou again, or else I'll throw you right back into the gutter, alright?"
Shou couldn't cover the amused smile on his face, Only his boyfriend would threaten a kitten as if it would actually understand him.
He budged him out of the way with his hip and stood infront of the sink again, Scooping the kitten from the draining board and putting it back into the warm water.
"That is one ugly cat" Tora sneered.
"It's just because he's really dirty, once he's clean he'll look cute" The brunette squeezed a small blob of shampoo onto his palm and gently massaged it into the cat's grimy fur.
"Look, how about I let you name him? Would that make you less hostile?"
Tora shrugged, opening the fridge and grabbing himself some juice.
"Fine, I'm gonna call it Cat Breath" He huffed.
"Tora, be serious"
"Anus Face?"
"No"
"Quasimodo?"
"Tora!"
"Fugly?"
"Try again"
"Smelly Cat?"
The younger glared at him, lips curving into a childish pout. "If you don't be nice, you'll be sleeping on the couch for the next week."
"Oh c'mon baby-" Tora snorted, running his hands down Shou's sides.
"No, get off me, I'm serious" He scowled, brushing him off "If you're going to be an idiot then I don't want to talk to you"
The elder sighed heavily, leaning against the draining board and resting his chin in the palm of his hand.
"Okay, okay! How about Chickin?"
Shou looked at him and cocked a brow. "Chickin? Why Chickin?"
Tora shrugged, sipping some of his juice. "I don't know, I just like it"
The younger stared at him for a moment, then turned back to the kitten, smiling fondly.
"Alright then, Chickin it is" He announced, rinsing the suds from the kittens head and gently scooping him out of the sink. Tora handed him a tea towel to dry it with, almost laughing at how tightly he wrapped it up like a baby.
"Oh, Shou. My brother sent me some pictures from boxing day. Wanna see them?"
"Yeah sure" Shou nodded, following Tora into the office room and perching himself on the chair, cradling Chickin in his arms. Tora stood behind him, watching as he scrolled through the pictures.
"Ah, I like this one" The brunette chirped, jabbing his finger toward s the computer screen. "I love this one" It was the one of Tora, Tomoya and himself "I'm gonna go and get that framed tomorrow on my lunch break" He beamed cheerfully. Tora returned his smile and pecked him on the lips.
"Want something to eat babe?" He asked, gently stroking his honey coloured hair.
"Oh god no" The other replied sweetly "I'd throw up everywhere"
"What? I though you said you were feeling better?"
"Yeah, I am feeling better, but not enough to be able to even smell food with out blowing chunks"
"Delightful" Tora laughed, ruffling his hair and heading to the kitchen to get himself some cereal, a nice non-potent smelling food that wouldn't result in his lover being incapacitated on the couch with a bucket next to his head for the rest of the night.
"I'm going to bed"Shou announced, walking out of the kitchen, glass of water in one hand and Chickin in the other.
"What? No sex tonight? I though I was gonna get lucky tonight being the new year and all" Tora sulked.
"I'm sorry Tora-shii, all of that movement and stuff? If we have sex, I'm pretty sure I'll end up being sick on you, and that really isn't sexy"
Tora simply huffed and sunk further into the couch.
"If you play your cards right, you could score tomorrow" Shou smirked, kissing the elders pouting lips. "Goodnight baby"
"Night". The brunette laughed lightly as he made his was to the bedroom.
He closed the door and set the kitten down on the bed, stripping himself and putting his comfiest pajamas on. He then went to the closet and pulled out a cushion and some old blankets with which he made a make-shift bed for Chickin in the corner of the room. Chickin jumped down from the bed and padded over to his own, seeming to settle in pretty quickly. With peace of mind Shou climbed into bed, being careful not to shake up the content of his stomach.
He wasn't far off nodding off when he heard the bedroom door open slowly, he really wasn't in the mood to talk, so he kept his eyes closed and breathing slow, pretending to be asleep already.
"Shou, baby? You awake?" Tora whispered, slumping his shoulders slightly after receiving no answer. He carefully shut the door and crossed the room, dumping his now stripped clothes in a pile beside the dresser and slipped under the covers. Sheepishly tracing his thumb over Shou's cheek, almost drawing a smile from the supposedly sleeping male. With a heavy sigh he rested his hand on Shou's exposed hip. Feeling a little bummed that he'd spent most of the day alone, when all he really wanted to do was to take Shou out for lunch then walk home through the park and relax with a film on the couch and some pudding. But Shou having such a chronic hangover ruined those plans, not that he was angry at him for it. He sighed again, to make a bad day worse, he now had a creepy new cat to look after, and he was pretty sure it was staring at him at that moment... Brilliant.
The following evening, Shou fished his keys out of his bag already starting to take his shoes off. He'd had an annoyingly long day at work again. Miyavi had greeted him with a bunch of hideous party photos, most consisting of Shou being drunk as fuck and making a complete ass of himself which made his face burn with embarrassment. Then shortly after Miyavi had to leave since he was on call at the hospital, leaving him to do all of the pricing for the new years sales and watch over the entire shop on his own. During his lunch break he went to the photo shop and had the photo he wanted printed, picking out a nice frame before heading back to the music store. Luckily he'd ran fast enough to catch his bus, so that saved him walking all the way back to the apartment, but the elevator was being serviced resulting in him having to climb the stairs all the way up to the thirteenth floor, which practically killed him. There had been a highlight to his boringly hectic day, He'd been talking to Hiroto on the phone during a quiet patch, laughing about their intoxicated game of dare, exchanging parts that they could remember. It was when Hiroto giggled about Aki's sex confession did Shou suddenly click. He remembered hearing the name "Mao" at the diner he wound up in, it was the name of the waiter. He struggled to recall the name of the cafe, but eventually it came back.. "The Humble Teapot" Quickly he said his goodbyes to Hiroto and searched the internet for the cafes address, grabbing his phone and blabbering the whole story to Aki, who stayed silent for a few moments but then hung up. Running into the music shop a few hours later giving him a huge kiss on the cheek, informing him that he and his first love had arranged to go on a date. Giving Shou a great feeling of accomplishment, proud that he'd managed to reunite two lovers.
After sitting on the top step for a few moments, he had recovered enough to drag himself to the front door.
Pushing it open he dumped his bag and shoes in the genkan before even closing the door.
"Tora, I'm home. " He called out tiredly "Do we have any cake?"
As he reached the kitchen, he was met by arms wrapping tightly around his body and lips attacking his neck causing him to gasp.
"I want you" Tora whispered huskily into his ear, sending tremors down his spine.
"Come and get me then" Shou smirked.
With a growl Tora spun him around, crashing their lips together passionately. Shou's legs wrapped around his waist as he was raised onto the kitchen counter, Tora practically tearing his coat off, hands sweeping under his shirt and removing it only a second later. His own shirt was thrown across the room to be delt with later. Kissing trails down Shou's neck he migrated to his chest, latching onto one of his pert nipples, lavishing it with his tongue, drawing quiet moans from him.
"Tora..."
With no prior warning Tora pulled him down from the counter, Shou felt himself be pushed down onto his knees, glancing up at the other he saw a suggestive look in his eyes letting him know exactly what he wanted from him . Fingers instantly making light work of his belt, pulling down his trousers and boxers, allowing him to step out of them.
Tora had obviously been waiting for him to get home because his cock was already rock hard, which was always a welcoming sight. He leaned forwards slowly trailing his tongue along the underside of his shaft, so lightly that it would drive Tora crazy. giving it another slow lick and looking up at him coyly.
"Shou, stop fucking around" Tora growled in frustration, threading his fingers through brunette hair and shoving his face closer to his cock. At that point Shou knew that they wouldn't be making love, Tora would be taking his sexual frustration out on him for hours, hard and dirty, and Shou couldn't be more excited. Tingles of trepidation ran down his spine. The tip of Tora's cock slipped past his plump lips, sucking lightly before taking the rest of it in. He willed his throat muscles to relax, allowing the elders member to slide further into his mouth earning a groan from Tora.
He began bobbing his head, creating a steady rhythm that was neither too slow or too fast.
Tora couldn't help bucking his hips forward, wanting more and more of Shou's welcoming hot mouth, deep throating him with such talent. His ears drinking up the deliciously vulgar sounds that the younger was making.
After a few thrusts he pulled out, not wanting to come just yet. He pulled Shou up by his hair, non too gently, locking lips with him in a heartbeat. Fumbling with the youngers belt. They kissed their way across the room in a frenzied battle, not wanting to give into each other. Shou was pushed down onto the kitchen table, his back cooling against the wooden top.
Tora tugged forcefully at the brunettes jeans, pulling them down his legs and tossing them aside. He leaned down to kiss along Shou's beautifully toned thighs, grazing his teeth against the skin every now and then. He pressed three of his fingers to Shou's lips.
"Wet them" Shou's tongue darted out, coating them with saliva, taking them into his mouth and sucking, giving the same treatment as he had to his cock. When they were suitably lubricated Tora removed them from his mouth, circling a finger around his tight puckered entrance, inserting it a few seconds later. Stroking his walls and willing them to relax, adding a second digit he began to stretch him. They didn't have a bottle of lube to hand, so making sure he was prepped was imperative. By the time he inserted a third finger, Shou's face was flushed with a string of gasps falling from his parted lips.
"Enough Tora" He groaned "Please..."
"Please what?" Tora smirked, bending his fingers inside of him, brushing against Shou's sweet spot causing a loud moan to escape him.
"Please Tora-shii, fuck me, please" He cried.
He didn't need to be told twice, pulling his fingers out he spat on his hand, coating his member sufficiently. Slowly pushing inside Shou's tight hole. The younger hissed in discomfort, the lack of lube making it awkwardly painful.
The elder gave him a few seconds to adjust, receiving a shaky nod he began a steady rhythm. The pain slowly subsided making way for nothing but pleasure. Tora gripped his hips firmly, his cock sliding almost entirely out before slamming back in.
"Uh, I got...that .. photo framed today" Shou mumbled letting his mind run away with him in his haze.
"Oh yeah?" Tora grunted, thrusting a little harder "Look nice?"
"Yeah, oh GOD!" Shou's hands gripped the edges of the table tightly, tossing his head to the side with a cry. The way Tora pounded into him was almost animalistic, so hard and rough that Shou was sure the table was moving with the force. The hot, vulgar moans that escaped him as Tora thrust impossibly harder only turned the elder on more, loving the sexy side of his usually reserved lover. He could feel the familiar pooling in his stomach, he knew he was going to loose it soon and he wanted to see Shou unravel first. With a few licks of his palm he grasped Shou's neglected member and started pumping in time with his thrusts. Positioning the youngers leg over his shoulder and angling his hips, he smashed head on into his sweets pot, earning a loud scream of pure pleasure, nails clawing at his arms.
"Scream for me Baby" Tora smirked, continuously hitting Shou's prostate again and again, causing Shou's moans to get louder and louder each time until they were both sure the entire apartment building could hear him.
The way Shou's sweat slicked body was twisting and writhing beneath him, he knew that he was fighting his orgasm. Biting his bottom lip in an effort to prolong his hedonism.
"I want you to cum Shou" Tora growled sensually. A few more thrust and strokes had Shou's back arching off of the table beautifully, body tensing as he screamed Tora's name, spilling his seed over his stomach and chest.
Shou's muscles clamped tightly around Tora's cock and with a few more hard thrusts, he was pulled over the edge too, spurting thick white jets coating his lovers insides. His top half collapsing against his chest.
"Oh god, that was.... amazing" Shou panted, wiping the sweaty bangs from his eyes. Smiling as Tora kissed his neck. His kisses soon became more lust filled, his cock beginning to harden once more.
"You gotta be kidding me, you want another round already?" He asked with a chuckle. Tora's reply came in the form of a teasing nibble on his ear, clearly he was. Shou figured that Tora must've been feeling hot and bothered for the entire day. With a kiss he was lifted up and carried off to the living room couch for the second round of mind blowing sex. Wrapping themselves in white hot pleasure for the rest of the night, again and again. Not stopping until Shou was too sore and Tora's stamina ran out. Finally collapsing on the bed together, sticky and sweaty, too exhausted to even shower. passing out as soon as their heads hit the pillow.
Chickin simply looked up from his spot in the corner, staring in curiosity for a few moments before snuggling back onto the blanket and returning to his peaceful sleep again.
