violet eyes
chapter 11
Yohji tossed back the double shot of whiskey, and debated having another. He
was sitting in the member’s only bar at the Velvet Room. It seemed that his
failure to go running around screaming at the top of his lungs what he had seen
in the club a few days ago had reassured the other members, so here he was sitting
with David Aso. The man had once again conducted him through a tour of the fetish
club, and had been talking to him for some while about what he needed to do
if he was seriously considering joining. Aso was all but promising to sponsor
the blonde.
Letting everything more or less slide over him, Yohji was busy reflecting back
on the past few days. What had been a promising start Sunday had all but vanished
by the end of the day. First Aya had disappeared after lunch, not to return
until dinner. The blonde was pretty much used to his kitten’s vanishing act,
but he /had/ been hoping to continue the little teaching session that Omi’d
interrupted. Dinner had been followed by a long meeting, hashing out suspects
for the mission, only to be concluded by Omi dragging off the red head to help
him with some research. Yohji had fallen asleep while waiting up for Aya. The
pint of liqueur he’d downed while waiting, all in an attempt to prevent him
running to Omi’s room and forcibly dragging the red head off, probably hadn’t
helped. It had been with some evil satisfaction that the playboy had regarded
Omi’s exhausted state the next morning, but the feeling hadn’t lasted long.
First there had been the list of warehouses, storerooms and abandoned buildings
the chibi wanted him to check out. Then there was the realization that Aya had
clearly stayed up all night long helping Omi compile the list. He wasn’t even
allowed time to ‘properly’ wish the man good morning before he was shoved out
the door.
The day was spent crawling around filthy, vacant buildings, only to turn up
empty handed. Before returning home, he had to swing by Mickey Stout’s house
and put a tracer on the man’s car. That had been the only thing to go right
all day, him actually finding the man at home. All in all, it had been rather
late when the blonde had finally reached his room. He was too exhausted and
dirty to even contemplate curling up with his kitten, although he had sustained
a fantasy of coming home to a sleeping Aya in his bed all evening long. Yohji
had barely bothered with taking off his clothes before collapsing on his bed.
The next day hadn’t been much better, as Omi once again dragged him out of bed
to check out a couple of places he’d missed the day before. That had taken him
half a day. Upon returning home he had quickly showered and rushed into the
flowershop, only to be greeted by a very irate Aya. It seemed that the blonde
had forgotten his promise about getting the flat tires on Aya’s Porsche taken
care of. Nevermind the fact that Yohji had spent the past day and a half scouring
the city, looking for some psychopath’s hideaway. Oh no, Yohji had dared to
ignore his red head’s precious baby, and must be made to pay. So out went the
idea of cornering his kitten in the green house for a little quality time. Unless
he wanted to spend the next month in a body cast. Add to that the fact that
the shop had been busier than usual, and Yohji was ready to tear his hair out
in frustration.
Due to the craziness in the flowershop, Aya had been running late in getting
to Bacchus for his shift. So there went any hopes of a goodbye smooch. Not that
the chances had been so great, what with Aya doing nothing but extracting a
promise from Yohji to have the Porsche’s tires replaced the next day, or the
blonde would enjoy some personal attention from Aya’s katana. The second Yohji’s
car came to a stop in front of the bar, the swordsman had leapt out and dashed
into the building.
That left the playboy to head on over to the Velvet Room and meet up with David.
Being a little early, he had sat at the bar and chatted with his friend Joji,
and downed the complimentary shots he’d been given. The bartender had been friends
with the blonde long enough to tell when he’d been having a bad day, and to
know one of his preferred methods of dealing with it. Yohji had been pleasantly
buzzed by the time his new acquaintance had arrived. Enjoying a little small
talk, the two of them had made their way downstairs, and Yohji had spent a couple
hours being assaulted with images that inspired some intense sexual fantasies.
All with a certain red head in the starring role.
So here he sat, another double in hand, as he tried to calm down somewhat. Through
the course of his tour, he had heard one of the employees mention the man Carmen
having an appointment later in the evening. Considering the man was in large
part the reason Yohji had visited the club again, he was trying to drag out
his departure, hoping to catch a glimpse of the mysterious man. Noticing that
David was starting to get fidgety, he realized that they would soon be heading
to Bacchus. Where with his luck a still pissed off Aya was awaiting him. Can’t
something go right for me today? the blonde beseeched the gods.
Downing yet another shot as he stood up, Yohji accidentally bumped into someone
walking behind him. "Sorry."
"Watch what you are doing." Large hands suddenly reached out and grabbed
ahold of Yohji’s shirt. "Hey, you aren’t a member, what are you doing in
here?"
"Carmen, relax, he’s a guest of mine. We were just leaving." David
quickly stepped next to Yohji and the tall man who was still holding onto the
blonde. Yohji estimated that Carmen was about 6’5" and at least 250 lbs
of solid muscle. He briefly wondered if the guy had been a wrestler. Black eyes
glared down at him for another minute, and the playboy then found himself violently
shoved back into the table. He suppressed the desire to take out the guy’s kneecaps.
"We do have some standards around here, Aso. Try to remember that before
you invite any more ‘friends’."
David helped his friend stand up. "Ignore him, he’s an asshole just itching
to tear into me. Guess that now extends to any friends of mine."
Giving the big man’s back his own rendition of the Shi-ne glare, Yohji tried
to smooth out the wrinkles in his silk shirt. "What the hell is that guy’s
problem? He got a beef with you or something?"
Helping the man straighten out his clothes, a bitter grin spread across David’s
face. "We used to be friends, until one night he dragged me off to a bar
in order to check out this guy he was interested in." The smile softened
when he saw the dawning light in Yohji’s eyes. "Yep, that bar, and that
guy. Ever since Teddy and I started to go out, he’s been understandably upset
at me."
Yohji squashed the sudden desire to grab his cell phone. "You mind if I
stop at the rest room before we walk over to Bacchus? I think all those drinks
are catching up with me."
"Sure thing. It’s the third door on the right. Be careful, you really don’t
want to go in the wrong room around here."
Snorting in laughter as he made his was to the rest room, Yohji cautiously peeked
into the room before entering all the way. Finding the directions to be correct,
and the room unoccupied, he quickly dialed a number.
"Moshi moshi."
"Omi, its Yohji. I need you to get ahold of Ken real quick, and have him
stake out the Velvet Room. Carmen is here, and believe it or not, there’s a
connection to Teddy Stout." Yohji quickly gave the teenager a physical
description of the man.
"I’ll call Ken while on my way."
"Hey, there’s no reason for you to come out here. Ken said last night that
he would handle this."
The exasperation was clear in the younger man’s voice as he answered back. "Yohji,
there are at least two exits, the main one and the members only in the back.
Do you know which one he’ll use?" Silence greeted that question. "Okay
then, I’ll stake out the back. Besides, all I’m doing right now is getting ready
to run that background check for Aya. I can finish it up tomorrow night."
Yohji knew he couldn’t argue with the point Omi had made. After reproaching
the youth to be very careful, he hung up and left the room. It only dawned on
the blonde, as he headed out of the building, that it seemed his plea hadn’t
gone unheard, and that he could have used it on Aya instead.
*******
Upon entering Bacchus, Yohji found himself steered toward a table in Teddy’s
section. He took a seat as the American greeted his boyfriend rather enthusiastically.
The blonde occupied himself those couple of minutes with searching the bar for
his kitten. Aya was working towards the back of the room, and was currently
busy. Noticing that the couple had finally broken apart for air, he directed
a raised eyebrow towards a breathless David. "And people talk about the
kitten and I."
That got him a quick laugh. "What can I say, I’m crazy about the guy."
"Looks like he’s rather fond of you, too."
David’s plain face was transformed by a beaming smile. "Yeah, it sure looks
that way. I can’t get enough of Teddy, and I think the fact that he really cares
for me is part of the reason. He’s the first man I’ve ever been involved with."
Yohji tried to appear surprised at this bit of news. "I didn’t know that.
No wonder that Carmen fellow is so mad at you. H must have never thought you’d
be competition."
"It caught me off guard as well. I just figured I’d go out with him, have
a few beers, and give my opinion on his crush. Instead I come down here and
find a gorgeous American who made me laugh more in a night than I do in a month,
and who actually seemed to /see/ me."
Yohji’s expression must of displayed more of his confusion than he’d intended,
as the brown haired man elaborated on the comment. "I guess you never really
had that problem. Even though you’re every bit a konketsu as me, with those
looks I’m sure you get lots of attention. With me, it’s as if I don’t exist
most of the time, not being Japanese enough for the people here, and not American
enough for the foreigners." The man’s tone was decidedly bitter. "Even
my father tended to forget about me. Probably never happened to you. So it was
bit of a shock when this good-looking, outgoing person expressed an interest
in me. I couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by, and I asked him out. It was
quite a surprise to actually fall in love with him, even more so when he returned
the feeling. That’s why I could care less about Carmen being upset with me,
even though I have few friends. Teddy makes everything worthwhile."
Greeted by the blonde’s silence, David quickly apologized. "Sorry, must
be the alcohol in me, I didn’t mean to get so maudlin. I don’t usually spill
my guts out like this."
Yohji didn’t know how to respond. He hadn’t appreciated the half-breed comment,
even if it was true. And he would have considered himself lucky if his father
had forgotten about him during his childhood. The blonde suspected that David
has built an image of him that had little to do with reality, but he wasn’t
about to mess with that right now. "You’re just lucky to have found Teddy
in the first place. Although I don’t know how you put up with his brother."
"Oh, Mickey’s alright. I just had to convince him I’d never do anything
to hurt his baby brother, and now I’m part of the family." There was a
gleam in the man’s light blue eyes that highlighted just how important that
fact was to him. "Anyone who’s crazy about his brother is okay in his books.
Okay, now it’s your turn."
"Nani?"
"I gushed about my boyfriend, now you do too. It’ll balance things out."
Misinterpreting the blonde’s silence, David added, "Don’t worry, I won’t
tell Teddy."
"….." Speechless for once, Yohji let his gaze drift over to the hard
at work swordsman. It wasn’t like he could talk to many people about the relationship,
and David had done him a big favor tonight, so he decided why not. "My
story is a bit more convoluted than yours. Red isn’t as outgoing as Teddy, it
takes some real effort to get him to open up. Wasted a lot of time thinking
he’d never return my feelings. Finding out he did was only the beginning of
the battle."
"Yeah, but obviously you think he’s worth the effort."
"Hell yes,"Yohji snorted in reply.
"So you really do love the guy, don’t you. You think that he’s the one?"
There was an odd undercurrent to the man’s voice, as if Yohji’s answer was very
important. His eyes glittered as the blonde nodded.
Opening his mouth to say something, unsure of how the conversation had taken
this serious turn, Yohji was spared by Teddy’s return. The American sat an extremely
generous double of whiskey and a pint of beer down in front of the playboy,
and handed the other beer to his boyfriend. He stared at the other man for a
moment, eyebrows lifted and head tilted to the side, before taking off again.
Used to feeling mystified at this point, Yohji speedily disposed of the shot
and started on his beer. He felt the need for alcohol at the moment.
As of sensing his companion’s unease, David shifted the topic to something else.
The two men were soon debating the merits of various topics, from drinks to
cell phones to cars. Yohji was busy lauding the merits of his Seven, a slightly
bit tipsy since Teddy had stopped by with another round, when he noticed that
David was gazing towards the back of the bar. "What’s so interesting?"
"Looks like they must of run out something, Red’s back in the storeroom.
Now what were you staying about exhaust systems?"
Thoughts derailed by this latest bit of news, Yohji stared off at where Aya
had disappeared. Gears were rapidly turning in his head, as he recalled his
thwarted plans the past few days. Yohji didn’t say a thing as he suddenly stood
and made his way to where his red head was.
Taking a sip of his beer, David directed a thumb’s up sign towards his boyfriend.
That hadn’t been very hard after all. His koi beamed back happily, as he ambled
over to the bar. The line of sight for the storeroom door was much better there.
Aware of the fact that several of his employees were gathering at the bar instead
of being in their sections, Kei tapped a standing Seiichi on the shoulder. The
younger man jumped a little in response. "What’s going on here?"
"Well, you see Teddy’s got another bet going on. We set up Red to go and
find some more napkins in the storeroom, and Red’s boyfriend has just joined
him. Everyone’s betting on how long they’ll be in there, and who comes out first."
The brunet cautiously glanced up at his manager, trying to gauge his reaction.
"Another bet, huh." Gazing after the door for several seconds while
rubbing his chin, Kei focused back on Seiichi. "So what timeslots are left?"
he asked, pulling out his wallet.
*******
Hearing the door open and shut behind him, Aya called out, "Seiichi, I’m
not finding those napkins. Where did you say they were again?"
"Beats the hell out of me."
Aya whirled around, recognizing the voice. "What are you doing here?"
The blonde kept advancing, until he forced the smaller man back against some
shelves. Smiling down at the glare he was receiving, Yohji finally responded,
"Just seeing how you’re doing, Gorgeous."
Since the glare was having no effect, Aya tried shoving the man away from him.
Yohji wouldn’t budge, and just leaned over his kitten, arms grasping the shelves
on either side of Aya. "I’d be doing a lot better if you’d back off and
give me a little space."
"Not going to happen."
"What?"
"I said no."
Aya crossed him arms as he once again glared up at the older man. "I’m
serious, Kudoh. Move, I’m in the middle of doing something."
"So am I. The damn napkins can wait, this is more important."
"Wha-mph." The red head was abruptly cut off as Yohji bent down to
kiss him. Pressing the smaller man back into the shelves, Yohji grabbed hold
the hands reaching up for him and held them above Aya’s head. Deepening the
kiss, he kept at the swordsman’s mouth until the need for air became critically
important. Both of the men were gasping as the blonde slightly pulled back.
Rocking his hips at the other man, Yohji lowered his head to nuzzle at a slender
neck as he inquired, "Don’t you agree?"
"Agree… what?" Aya was still trying to catch his breath, and the blonde’s
actions weren’t helping. He tried to dredge up the anger from earlier today,
but realized that he’d missed the man, and the way Yohji could make him feel,
too much to care right now.
"That this is more important. Mmm, you really do taste so good. I’m never
going two whole days without tasting you ever again."
"Yohji, we’re not at home. What if someone, ah, comes in? Remember ahh,
s- stop that, all the annoying interruptions?" It was getting harder to
form coherent sentences.
"Don’t worry, I locked the door."
The red head was gradually realizing that he wasn’t going to win this battle.
Part of him had already given in. He offered up one last piece of resistance.
"If we get caught, you’re a dead man, Kudoh."
"You always say the sweetest things, Kitten." Green eyes heavy with
desire, he gently smirked down on his lover as Yohji released the captured hands.
"I’ll just have to remind you of all the reasons you should keep me around."
Taking hold of the hem of Aya’s shirt, he abruptly yanked it off the red head.
Needing to feel skin against skin, he repeated the motion with his own shirt.
"Much better." He gathered his kitten in his arms, and resumed kissing
him breathless.
Aya couldn’t stop his hands from roaming all over the playboy. When he lightly
ran his nails done the other man’s back, Yohji broke off the kiss, moaning out
his name. "Gods, Aya, that felt good." The blonde returned the favor
by nibbling his way down Aya’s neck.
Hearing the red head’s moans just made Yohji all the hotter. He gripped the
smaller man’s ass and pulled him closer, grinding their erections together.
Whimpering from the friction, Aya ran his fingers through blonde hair and held
on tight. "Yohji, that’s, ohhhh yes."
The older man leaned back briefly, drinking in the sight of hooded violet eyes
and kiss- swollen lips. "Trust me, Kitten, it’s just gonna get better.
I’m gonna taste all of you this time." As Aya blinked back in bewilderment
at the statement, Yohji set out to show the red head what he meant.
Trailing kisses down the smaller man’s chest, Yohji worked the zipper of Aya’s
pants. When Aya opened his mouth to say something, the blonde started to suck
on his left nipple. Whimpering in response, the swordsman rested back on the
shelves, jeans forgotten. After lavishing attention on the younger man’s nipples
for a few minutes, Yohji continued his trek downward. Pausing to nip at and
tug on the navel ring, the older man used that distraction to pull Aya’s pants
and underwear down to his knees. He then proceeded to run his hands up and down
the red head’s inner thighs, fingers sometimes brushing against the side of
Aya’s weeping erection.
‘Oh gods, he’s mewling again. How I love that sound.’ Nuzzling at curly red
hair, Yohji wrapped his right hand around the base of his kitten’s cock, and
bent down to lap at the precum leaking from the tip.
"/Yohji!/" The red head voice was strangled, and his grip on the older
man’s hair was almost painfully tight.
"Mmmm," the blonde responded, tongue busy working the slit on Aya’s
erection. "Knew you’d taste this good. I want more." He took the swollen
member in his mouth, tongue running up and down its sides. Yohji had never heard
the other man moan so loud. Wrapping his arms around the smaller man’s waist,
he pulled back his head until his lips were just touching the tip of the organ,
and then suddenly deep throated. His name was all but shrieked.
Not long after Aya began to thrust into Yohji’s mouth, the blonde slipped one
hand down the crack of Aya’s backside. Finding the puckered ring, the older
man started to circle his fingers around it. His kitten initially tensed upon
feeling a touch back there, but was distracted when Yohji started humming. Hearing
the younger man commence chanting his name, he carefully pushed a finger inside.
The tight heat clenching around it made the older man moan.
The feel of something moving inside of him was the last straw, sensory wise
for Aya. It all became too much. Crying out Yohji’s name, he shuddered to climax.
Overwhelmed by the pleasure surging through him, the red head found himself
sliding down to the floor, unable to stand.
Yohji rocked back on his heels, cuddling the smaller man close to him. Wiping
away the little bit of semen dribbling down his chin, he watched as violet eyes
fluttered back open. He smiled tenderly at the dazed expression on his kitten’s
face. Cupping the flushed face, he tilted it up towards him. "Oh, Kitten,
I knew you’d be the best I’ve ever tasted. Don’t think I’ll ever get enough
of you." Taking advantage of the panting mouth, he thrust his tongue in
deep, letting the other man taste himself.
Stunned at first, Aya began to kiss Yohji back. His mouth was filled with the
flavor of his own cum, bittersweet and unlike anything he had ever tasted before.
Letting his arms encircle the blonde’s neck, he rested against the taller man.
After a while, he noticed the erection pressing against his hip. Pulling back,
he frowned up at the older man. "Yohji, you didn’t, I mean…." biting
his lip, Aya paused, unsure how to continue. "Do you want me to, you know?"
His kitten was just so adorable. Stifling back a moan caused by an image of
Aya going down on him, Yohji shook his head. "Not now, Kitten." Aya’s
coworkers should notice his absence any moment now, and that was one experience
he wasn’t about to rush. Seeing how the red head’s frown had deepened, he smiled
at the younger man. "But there is something else you can do." Taking
a slender hand in his own, he lowered it down to his lap until it was resting
on the bulge. Not sure if Aya had understood what he wanted, Yohji was about
to say something when he felt a tug at his zipper. Working open the blonde’s
jeans, Aya stared down at the erection that sprung free. Touching a finger to
the fluid dribbling out of it, the red head raised it to his mouth for a taste.
"Gods, Aya, keep that up and I won’t last much longer." Shooting a
glance at Yohji’s face, the red head returned his attention downward after a
brief pause.
Tenderly wrapping a hand around the engorged cock, Aya slowly worked it up and
down, pausing to rub his thumb across the top. He picked up speed, matching
his pace in time to the older man’s thrusts. Looking back up, he locked his
gaze on emerald eyes. It wasn’t much longer until Yohji stiffened, semen shooting
out to cover his stomach and Aya’s hand. It was the blonde’s turn to rest, body
spent, against the other man.
After a minute or two, he shakily leaned back, fingers combing hair off of his
face. Attention focused on his lover, he watched as Aya lifted his hand to his
mouth and started to lick it clean. Aware of the look the blonde was directing
his way, the swordsman almost blushed.
Pulling the slender hand away, Yohji replaced it with his mouth. After a thorough
exploration of the other’s mouth, he pulled back. "I have never seen anyone
half as sexy as you, Kitten. I could stay in here with you forever."
Glancing nervously at the door, Aya shook his head. "That’s not possible.
Someone has to have realized by now that I’m still in here." Standing in
one smooth motion, the red head worked his pants and underwear back up. Yohji
watched as he retrieved both their shirts, and grabbed something from a shelf.
Catching the object when it was thrown at him, he realized it was a bar towel.
Before he set about cleaning himself up, he snaked out an arm to grab hold of
the smaller man. Dragging Aya back to him, he kissed the man one last time.
Brushing back sweaty bangs, he whispered "thank you" as he let his
kitten go.
Aya nodded back in return, and placed Yohji’s shirt nearby on a shelf. Heading
over to the door, the red head paused to look back. After gracing the older
man with a sweet but fleeting smile, he closed the door behind him. Stunned
for a minute, Yohji’s face burst out in a huge grin, and he whistled as he finished
dressing.
Both men, intent on returning to their respective spots, failed to notice the
crowd gathered by the bar. Barely managing to suppress a shout of glee, Teddy
nonetheless bounced up and down. "Pay up, you losers!! I called the time
and the first one out correctly. Yes!!" Grumbling and shaking their heads,
his coworkers handed over their money. Happily counting the yen, Teddy glanced
up to see his brother glowering at him. "Oh, relax big guy, its all harmless
fun. And don’t worry, no one’s stupid enough to mention it to Red. We’ll never
get him back in the storeroom if that happens."
"Fair warning, I’m not going to do anything if he finds out and comes after
you. If you think he was upset the last time, I don’t think you’d want to deal
with him after this."
"Okay, I get the point. Just hide your bat should that ever happen. Although
I don’t see what he would be so upset about. He looks pretty relaxed right now,
and I notice he forgot all about those napkins."
*******
Yohji was struggling to keep his eyes open as he drove home. Aya was zonked
out beside him, head resting on the blonde’s shoulder. It had been another couple
of hectic days for the two assassins, so he wasn’t surprised the younger man
had swiftly fallen asleep once he sat down. ‘And experiencing a mind blowing
orgasm will drain a person, that’s for sure.’ Of course, the blonde could only
speak with certainty for himself, but he was willing to bet from the slightly
glazed look that had stayed with his kitten the rest of the night that the younger
man had felt the same. As for himself, he had spent the last hour or so with
a ridiculous grin on his face, only half aware of what David and him had talked
about.
One thing that had stuck in his mind was the last topic they had discussed.
The brown haired man had brought up the assaults in the district. He had asked
Yohji how he felt about ‘Red’ working in an area infamous for a madman attacking
gay men. Yohji had angrily retorted back that his kitten was not going to be
left alone at any time during the weekend, and anyone who so much as laid a
finger on the man would greatly regret it. There had been no mistaking the possessiveness
laden in his voice. If Omi, Ken or even Aya dared to argue with him over this,
they would be in for a surprise.. He wasn’t budging on this one. David had once
again treated him with an odd expression, before stating that he was relieved
that Teddy had Mickey to watch out for him. He felt sorry for anyone who tried
to do something to the American with his brother around. Both men had spent
the rest of the night bemoaning how hard it was to be in love with a couple
of thick headed, stubborn idiots with no sense of self preservation.
The topic made him wonder briefly how Omi and Ken’s night had turned out, before
the blonde returned his concentration back to getting home in one piece. All
he wanted to do was collapse in a nice, warm bed. Of course he had every intention
of dragging the kitten to bed with him, although he doubted he’d meet much resistance
tonight.
Car safely parked in the garage, he shook the red head awake. Snarling slightly
at being disturbed, Aya woke up just enough to get out of the car and make his
way upstairs. When Yohji steered him away from his bedroom and into the blonde’s
instead, he treated the man with a raised eyebrow and silence. It just wasn’t
worth the effort to argue over where he was going to sleep tonight, and somehow
he doubted the older man had the energy to try something. Entering the room,
he quickly stripped down to his underwear, leaving the blonde to worry about
the door and lights. Crawling into the monstrosity Kudoh called a bed, he was
mostly asleep when the other man slid in next to him and pulled him back into
an embrace. Grumbling briefly, he let himself fall into unconsciousness.
Humming softly to himself, Yohji felt the tension leave his body. Something
was nagging him in the back of his mind, but it just felt so good to be curled
up in his bed next to the warm body of his love. Intent on falling asleep, he
shoved the semi-formed thought away. Losing awareness, he never noticed how
he tightened his grip on the slumbering red head. It was as if some part of
his mind knew that if he let go of the younger man, he’d lose him forever.
