Summary: It was all supposed to end with the tour...but what if they can't stop? What if they won't stop? How will it affect their relationship, and their relationships with those closest to them?
October 7th 2012
Taguchi was a little surprised when he woke to find Ueda curled up with him in his single bed. He glanced at the ruffled sheets of Ueda’s bed, and then down at the small frame of the man himself fast asleep and clutching Taguchi’s own arm to his chest. He wondered briefly when he’d crept into his bed, but it didn’t matter, it was sweet enough that he had. He lay his head back down, breathing in the familiar scent of Ueda’s shampoo, and wrapped his free arm around Ueda’s body.
He woke next to the distant sound of Ueda’s phone alarm, and said man trying to sneak slowly out from his grasp.
“Caught you” he smiled smugly, pulling Ueda tight into his chest again.
“Baka, let me get the alarm” the older man retorted, as he untangled himself and got out of bed. Taguchi rolled over and pulled back to covers to invite him back in but Ueda shook his head “We need to get up...we have a scuba lesson in less than an hour, and I need breakfast...”
“Fine” Taguchi conceded as he got up, but he playfully tackled Ueda, pulling him down onto the other bed. They both scrambled for dominance but Taguchi eventually won out, though he suspected it was only because Ueda was still sleepy. He pinned the older man down using his full body “I know you snuck into my bed to cuddle”
“I wasn’t cuddling...” Ueda protested “I was cold...”
Taguchi chuckled “Not cold enough to put any clothes on...” he retorted back and he could see Ueda had no response.
“Shut up, you liked it just as much as I did.”
His smile widened “I’m not denying I like cuddling”. He was a little surprised when Ueda’s only response to that was to lean up and capture his lips. Though he soon realised it was just a diversion tactic when Ueda threw his body weight up, shoving Taguchi to the side before getting up and skipping towards the bathroom and giggling delightedly at his escape.
They both took very well to scuba diving. To begin, they had a lengthy lesson in one of the local pools, just to get them familiar with the equipment and procedures, and then after a short stop for lunch in one of the family restaurants they went out with a small group and their instructors to dive in some of the most popular diving spots.
“It’s a shame we didn’t see any turtles or sharks...” Taguchi whined a little once they were back in their hotel room in the late afternoon.
“We saw lots of pretty fish though, and plants and all the lava stuff...” Ueda replied still happy and excited from all the new experiences.
“Yeah that was nice...I guess we’re just too late in the year for the other stuff...”
“Sorry, I’ll try and be born earlier in the year next time...” Ueda teased.
Taguchi couldn’t help but laugh a little. “We should probably be getting showered and changed, there’s still more planned for today...”
“I did wonder if you were going to bring up my surprise again...”
Taguchi chuckled again “I do have a couple of things left to sort out actually...so how about I go take a shower and go get everything sorted, and then I’ll come pick you up here when I’m ready?”
“Oooh” Ueda teased again, though it was spoiled by the blush rising on his cheeks “Sounds like something special...”
Taguchi let his concerns show for the first time “You might not like it...hell you might flat out refuse to go with me when you find out...well, anyway I think I’ve said enough already.”
“Juuuuunno” Ueda whined “You can’t tease me like that...now I want to know.” Taguchi placed a gentle kiss against his lips and then headed for the bathroom without another word.
He was feeling quite nervous by the time he came back out of the bathroom, but he tried not to let it show as he hunted around for some clean, reasonably smart clothes to put on. In the end he went with chinos and a loose shirt, it was still warm out right now, but it could be quite cold by the time they headed back. He made a mental note to ask for a few extra blankets, and then he went over to Ueda’s bed, where the other was watching him over the top of his manga.
“Ok I need to get going, I shouldn’t be gone more than half an hour or so, you’ll be ready?” Ueda nodded slowly, almost uncertainly, and Taguchi could only assume his anxiousness was showing after all.
Ueda was ready as promised when he returned. Taguchi still felt nervous but now there were trails of excitement licking through him as well. He took Ueda’s hand and lead him to the elevator, though making sure to maintain a suitable distance as they passed through the crowded lobby. Once outside he sped up, motioning Ueda to follow him, along the wooden harbour before stopping in front of a small boat.
“Tatsuya? Do you trust me?” he asked, turning to the other.
“With my life” he replied, raising an eyebrow almost comically which had Taguchi breaking out into a grin again.
“Then hop aboard” And he climbed onto the boat, holding out a hand to help Ueda onto it too.
Taguchi lead Ueda round to the back of the boat where there were a few small seats surrounding an open space of floor on which he’d spread some blankets, along with a picnic hamper and a cooler.
“You did all of this for me?” Ueda asked astonished as he kicked off his sandals and settled on the blankets.
Taguchi just smiled “Make yourself comfortable, I’ll be over there behind the wheel” and he nodded his head at the small cabin that served as a control room. He could feel his hands clamming up a little as he turned on the engine and manoeuvred the small boat out of the harbour. He’d already planned the route ahead of time, so once they were out on the open water it was easy enough to relax and just follow his scribbled guidelines.
Once the sailing was smooth, Ueda got up and came to join him in the cabin, he stepped up slowly behind him, wrapping his strong arms around Taguchi’s waist and resting his head against his back.
“Thank you Junno, this is really lovely”
Taguchi smiled to himself “I’m glad, I half expected you would refuse to get on a boat with me if I’m the one driving.”
“Baka, I already told you I trust you.” Taguchi nodded, he couldn’t think of anything else to say.
He looked out of the windows then “There’s some pretty scenery, and if you keep an eye on the water you might be able to see some fish and stuff too...I thought we’d take a little trip round the island and then stop a little way off the west coast for food.”
“Sounds good to me” and he reached up to place a kiss on Taguchi’s cheek before going back outside, this time to the front of the boat so he could watch the water over the side.
When they were far enough around, Taguchi slowed down before finally switching off the engine. They were far enough out that it would be fine for them to just sit atop the waves for a while, but close enough in that they weren’t in any danger of drifting too far. All the same he detached the GPS console, taking it and the map along with him as he went to settle at the back of the boat.
He’d barely even sat down when Ueda came to join him, crawling into his lap and pecking softly at his face and lips. He returned the gesture, threading his fingers gently into Ueda’s hair and turning him just enough to lick his way softly into the older man’s warm mouth. He pulled away only reluctantly when he heard a loud rumble from Ueda’s stomach. Ueda giggled as he sat back, a mischievous expression on his face.
“I think we’ll have some food before anymore of that...” Taguchi mock scolded him.
“I did wonder at the rather secluded location” Ueda teased looking around “Just what exactly were you planning on doing to me out here?”
Taguchi laughed a little “Only what you ask me too...” but another loud grumble encouraged him to reach for the hamper. Inside he’d packed a selection of Ueda’s favourite foods, cooked fresh by the kitchen staff at the hotel and packed into insulated tubs to keep it warm. He took off the lids and laid the selection out on the blankets “Sorry, I forgot to bring the good china” he joked.
Ueda shook his head “This is perfect” and he dug in eagerly as soon as Taguchi passed him some chopsticks. Taguchi dug in too but he held himself back a little, he knew Ueda liked his food and lots of it, so he wanted to make sure Ueda’s hunger was fully satisfied first. He was pleased to note that all of the food went, and Ueda’s stomach had finally stopped growling. They drank water from flasks with their meal but as he pulled out dessert from the cooler, milk crepes of course, he also took out a fancy looking bottle and some nice glasses.
“It’s apple and elderflower juice” he said as Ueda raised an eyebrow “I do intend on getting us back to shore in one piece” and he poured them each a glass as they started on dessert and then Taguchi cleared everything away bar the juice and glasses and they snuggled closer together, wrapping a blanket around their shoulders in the cool evening air.
“When did it start getting dark?” Ueda asked looking around suddenly.
“I think somewhere round about your 20th takoyaki” Taguchi teased “It’s ok...this is where the show really starts” he said pointing out towards the horizon.
Ueda turned his head just in time to see the large orb of the sun begin to dip below the horizon. He gasped “Wow, Junno...this is beautiful...”, but Taguchi just smiled, pecked him gently on the cheek and then let his head rest against Ueda’s as they watched the sunset together.
When he’d planned it all out, he thought the whole idea of watching the sunset sounded kind of cheesy, but he decided to go with it anyway and he was so glad that he had. There was no trace of sarcasm or humour in Ueda’s face as he gasped, exhilarated by the tangible changes in the colours of the sky.
When the sun was almost completely below the horizon Ueda turned to him, eyes deep, swimming with some emotion strong enough to bring moisture to the edges of them. Taguchi placed a hand on his cheek and leaned in to kiss him, slowly, comforting him even as the older man shuddered and a small bead of moisture ran down over Taguchi’s hand. He pulled away looking into Ueda’s blushing face, concerned.
“Nobody’s ever done anything like this for me before” Ueda whispered before seeking out his lips again, molding into them urgently.
He couldn’t place his finger on it, not with the way his head was swimming, what this emotion was that was driving Ueda desperately towards him and tightening his own chest.
There was no protest as he moved his body around, encouraging Ueda onto his back before settling himself atop the older man, pressed tight along his body, between his legs. He ravished the soft lips furiously, plunging his tongue deep into the other man’s mouth as though it might alleviate the knot rising in his throat.
Ueda broke away with an almost pitiful whine. “Junno” his voice was as shaky as Taguchi felt “I need you, please...”
He wasted no time in reaching out for the extra blankets, throwing them over himself and Ueda before shuffling down to undo Ueda’s trousers, kissing along his abs as he did. Ueda whined and tugged at him urgently with his hands, he would have laughed at the needy gesture if he could think straight, but as it was all he could feel was confusion and desperation.
He pushed on quickly, removing their clothes and reaching for the lube he’d secretly stashed in the blankets. He moved to spread some on his fingers, but a hand caught his wrist. He looked up and there was something strange in Ueda’s eyes, like fear but mingled with trust and most notable, need. Ueda slowly raised his legs, allowing room for Taguchi to slide between them and though no words were spoken he understood. He applied the lube instead to his erection, with all the haze fogging his head he hadn’t even noticed he was hard, but he was, achingly so, and he needed Ueda now more than he’d ever felt he had.
He held Ueda’s body close, whispering gentle words into his ear through the first painful push, and then moved back just enough that he could lock eyes with the other man as he continued, perfectly, torturously slowly.
He knew it was different, he could feel it in his own body, the way his hair seemed to stand on end and his heart pounded with more than desire, the way he could think of nothing but sunsets and tender kisses and the slow shaky breaths from the man beneath him.
Ueda’s eyes remained looking into his, searching almost, as though he too could feel something had changed and only Taguchi could reveal the answers. They closed momentarily when the older man reached his climax, the moisture that had been building there finally tipping over and running from beneath the closed lids. The only other reaction he made was the harsh, involuntary constrictions that were powerful enough to push Taguchi, unexpectedly to his release.
He waited until his tremors faded before pulling out slowly, pressing his lips to Ueda’s temple to discourage the pained hiss, but there was none, as he pulled back he noticed only more tears, silent and sporadic until Ueda composed himself, shaking his head and laughing breathlessly.
Taguchi sought out his eyes again, confused and afraid though he was still unable to grasp why. He could see the echoes of fear in Ueda’s eyes too, but the older man laughed again chasing them away, and he grasped gently at Taguchi’s hand.
“Thank you Junno, this whole vacation has been...it’s been indescribable...” he smiled sweetly. Taguchi nodded, unable to think of the correct response, he couldn’t shake his uncertainty the way Ueda clearly could and he felt worried that he couldn’t even recall what had caused it.
Eventually he moved away, gathering together his clothes and passing Ueda’s back to him, and then he returned to the cabin, turning on the engine, and they began the silent ride back to shore.

Junno the cheesy romantic >_< It wasn't TOO cheesy right? Also...apologies for the late post today, I didn't manage to get it posted before work, but it's pretty long by my standards so I hope that maybe, kinda makes up for it?
