To Yield

The silence between them was just eerie. They had not spoken a word since the little incident at the science fair.

Shuichi thought he was going to die when Yusuke leaned towards him as if to kiss him. He had turned his head to the side knowing that people were going to react at seeing such a display of affection between two guys.

Yusuke just couldn’t believe what he did. What the fuck had gotten into him? He was just about to kiss another guy in front of a whole bunch of people. He was trying very hard to concentrate on his driving. It was Shuichi’s mom’s car after all and he didn’t want to wreck it. But it was hard to do. He couldn’t stop thinking about it. Whatever it was that had him acting like an idiot had better stop. He knew that Shuichi was gorgeous and all, but he was after all a guy; and Yusuke did not like guys. The thought of those trembling eyes and those full lips was still on his mind. He shook his head and tried to concentrate on the road again. 'Holy shit, this is not good. What the fuck is wrong with me?' He just kept trying to make some sense of the whole situation.

----

Here he was again; Friday night, surrounded by his friends and all he could think about was Shuichi. They had not spent very much time together since the little ‘incident’. That night when they had gotten to Shuichi’s house, they just said ‘good night’ and walked their separate ways. Shuichi went inside his house and he had just walked home.

He ran his fingers through his hair and exhaled. He was bored and he couldn’t even call the guy. The one time he saw him today in school, the redhead had told him that his step father would be home tonight. Yusuke knew that it meant ‘stay away’. No calling or coming over. So, he was going to have to wait until Monday to talk to Shuichi at school. That sucked, big time.

“Hey, you’re here.” Yusuke looked up at hearing Hiei’s greeting. Hiei was at the front door greeting someone. His eyes opened wide to see who it was. He stood up and walked towards them.

“Well, look what the cat dragged in?” Yusuke hugged his cousin and then glared at Hiei. He knew it was Hiei’s doing that Koenma was in town. “What brings you to town, man?”

Koenma looked at Hiei and then back at Yusuke and with a grin on his face answered the question. “I’ve heard some things and wanted to see it with my own eyes. Apparently, you have been busy lately.”

Yusuke frowned at the insinuation and then crossed his arms over his chest defensively. “I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, but know that I don’t give a flying fuck about what you think of me or what rumors you decide to take back home and spread around about me or my mother.”

Koenma smiled at that and tilted his head. “Now, now, let’s not be hasty. I’m actually here to try to help you out.”

“I don’t need any help from you man.” Yusuke then dismissed the boy and walked back to the couch. “Do whatever you want. Like I care.”

----

Shuichi bit his lip as he heard the front door open and close knowing that it meant that the man was home. He was in front of the sink doing dishes and he scolded himself for not doing them fast enough so that he could retire to his room. He had just taken a shower and was wearing his pajama pants and a t-shirt. His hair was still wet since he had washed it.

He heard when the man placed his suitcase and other items on the dining room table and then started walking towards him. Shuichi felt a knot on his throat as the man stood right behind him. He could feel the heat of the man’s body he was so close to him. Shuichi turned his head a bit to the side and greeted his step father. “Good evening, father.” Even though he was his step father, the man had pretty much raised him since he was a toddler, so he had always called him father out of respect.

He heard as the man inhaled the scent of his hair. “How’s your mother?” The man whispered into his ear.

Shuichi shivered and leaned forward a bit trying to get away from the man. “She’s… feeling better. You should… go see her.”

He then dropped the plate he was rinsing as he felt his step father’s hands gripping his hips. His step father then pulled him back against his body and Shuichi felt the man’s erection against his ass.

Shuichi panicked and twisted away from the man’s grasp and made his way to his mother’s bedroom as fast as he could. He wrapped his arms around his mid section to try to stop his trembling. Shuichi felt sick just being in the same room with his step father. He could smell the alcohol in the man’s breath. It was always the same. He got drunk and either paid for illicit sex or came home acting perverted.

Shuichi entered his mother’s bedroom and silently closed the door. He then sat on the bed and caressed her hair.

Shiori opened her eyes and felt alarmed at seeing Shuichi’s tearful face. “What’s wrong?” Shuichi shook his head, but she knew that there was something bothering him. She then had her answer when the door to her room opened and her husband walked in.

Shuichi then kissed her goodnight and walked out of the room. She then turned her eyes to her drunken husband knowing that she hated the man with every inch of her soul. She grinded her teeth at seeing the mock smile on the man’s face. Bastard.

----

He could hear them arguing. His step father had been home under an hour and he was already causing hell. Shuichi was sitting against his bedroom door with his knees to his chest. He hated it. Why did it have to be this way? Shuichi brought his hands to his ears and tried to mute the screaming, but he couldn’t ignore it. He had to protect his mother.

There was a loud thump and Shuichi panicked. He immediately stood up and grabbed his baseball bat. Running down the hall to his mother’s room felt like an eternity. 'If he touches her…'

He swung the door open and found his mother on the floor. She seemed unharmed and that calmed him a bit. “Mother...” He kneeled next to her and comforted her as she cried.

“You are a sick man. Why do you do this? Do you like to see me like this? Why do you have to be so cruel? It’s not my fault that I’m ill.”

The man staggered a bit from his drunken state and slurred his response. “I’m not attracted to you any more. I rather pay someone else than touch you.” He then turned to Shuichi. “Actually, I would rather bed him than you.”

Shuichi felt the most horrible pain in his heart as his mother stared at him. He felt dirty and ashamed.

Shiori stared into Shuichi’s trembling eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you tell me that he…?” She brought a hand to cover her mouth as she couldn’t finish that sentence.

He couldn’t let her think that. “Mother, no, I’ve never… he’s just saying things. He’s drunk. I would never…”

“Never what…?!! Let me touch you, little Shuichi.”

Shuichi shut his eyes tight not wanting to hear what the man was about to say. “Shut up, stop…!”

“Oh, my little Shuichi, but I have touched that soft skin of yours. Because that’s what you like. You like men touching you. Don’t you?”

That did it. Shuichi screamed and lunged at his step father. He thrust the baseball bat into his mid section knocking the air out of him sending him to the floor unconscious. Shuichi lifted the bat and was about to cause more damage when his mother screamed at him.

“SHUICHI NO…!!! Please, don’t… I can’t lose you. He’s not worth it.”

He slowly let his arms down and fell to his knees. His back was towards his mother as he couldn’t look into her eyes. He sobbed knowing that his mother thought that he was willingly participating in sexual acts with his own step father.

“Come here, son, please.”

Shuichi slowly turned and crawled to his mother’s arms. “I… I…”

“Shhh, don’t even think that I believe him, Shuichi. I know you and I know you would never betray me.”

Shuichi sobbed some more and after a few minutes lifted himself from his mother’s lap and looked into her eyes. “But… some of it is true, mother. He has… touched me. And I… let him.” He let his head fall forward so that his long bangs covered his eyes and cried feeling completely disgusted with himself.

“Shuichi, I’m so sorry. I should have protected you from him.” She had to know. “Shuichi, did he… ever…”

He lifted his eyes to meet his mother’s once more. “No… no... But he has tried.”

Shiori took him into her arms and sobbed as well. “When… when did this happen?”

Oh he didn’t want to talk about this any more, but he owed his mother that much. “About five months ago when you were very sick. He told me that if I didn’t, he would make your life hell and I couldn’t let him do that. He said that all he wanted was to touch me, and I… I submitted.” He ran his hand through his hair and swallowed hard before he continued. “He… he got off doing that… and then he left my room.”

“Did anything else happen, Shuichi?” She just needed to be sure.

He looked up at his mother wanting her to understand that he was telling the truth. “No…” He hesitated, but had to tell his mother now or he would never be able to speak about it again. “…but three months ago, he came into my room and… that’s when he tried to have… intercourse with me and I didn’t let him. That’s why he hit me. I got away from him and ran here to you. I always come here where I feel safe.”

Shiori caressed her son’s face and nodded to let him know that she understood and believed him. She then held him in her arms. “Is that what happened today? That’s why you came to me. Isn’t it?” Her heart felt heavy as Shuichi nodded into her chest. “We have to do something, Shuichi.”

He knew that they did have to act now. Things were getting out of hand. His step father had tried to take him by force more than once and he was still a virgin and a minor at sixteen years of age.

Shuichi turned his head and looked at the man on the floor. He couldn’t believe that this man, who could be so loving and caring when he was sober, could also turn into this demon. But what could they do? They didn’t have any money and nowhere to go. Plus with his mother sick as well. It was easier said than done.

----

Shuichi inhaled deeply as he held his head up and stared at the clouds. He just needed some air. After the incident Friday night, he just wanted to get away from it all. He had spent all day Saturday with his mother and even slept with her both Friday and Saturday night to make sure he was safe from his step father.

On Saturday morning he had seen the man at the dining room table reading his paper and drinking his coffee. As fast as he could, he made his own breakfast and a bit of oatmeal for his mother. He could feel the man watching him, but thankfully nothing happened.

So, he sat on a bench in the park near a corner where hardly anyone ventured. He wanted to think; to try to figure out a way to deal with the situation at home.

“Earth to Shuichi.”

He blinked a couple of times at the mention of his name and was startled to find Yusuke standing right in front of him.

“Hey man, nice to see you.” Yusuke couldn’t tear his eyes from the redhead. He noticed how Shuichi was breathing fast and looked as if he was about to go into a panic attack. “You okay, Shuichi?”

He was shocked when the younger boy stood and lunged at him taking him into a tight embrace. He hesitantly returned the hug running his hands up and down the redhead’s back as he was trembling so badly. “Hey, calm down. What’s wrong? Shuichi, tell me what’s wrong?” His protective nature started to kick in.

“I can’t.”

It was merely a whisper into his ear. He didn’t know what to do. Obviously there was something really wrong with the guy and he wouldn’t talk about it. After a few minutes, he felt the boy start to calm down. They very slowly disengaged themselves from one another. Yusuke took the opportunity to wipe the tears from the redhead’s face.

“Yusuke, I…”

He felt his breath leave him when the redhead looked at him. He seemed so hurt and pained; so fragile right now. He found himself wanting to do something, but wasn’t sure what. He wanted to get Shuichi out of this fucked up mood he was in. As he ran his thumb over the boy’s cheek to catch a tear he once again looked at Shuichi’s lips and felt weak on his knees.

“Yusuke…”

Seeing his name escape those lips was the end of him as he tilted his head and kissed Shuichi. It was simple at first, but as Shuichi tightened his arms around his neck he couldn’t help but intensify it. It was as if he could feel the boy giving himself to him. Yusuke wrapped his arms around the boy’s narrow waist and pulled him towards his body trying to deepen the kiss even more. He brought a hand into that beautiful hair and fisted it as Shuichi moaned into his mouth.

Yusuke was lost at the moment. He just couldn’t believe that he was fully frenching Shuichi and it felt so fucking good. This was what he had wanted to do for a very long time.

The need for air overwhelmed both of them as the kiss ended, but Yusuke wasn’t ready to let go. He aimed for that pale neck and felt his cock twitch at the sounds coming from Shuichi. His eyes opened wide in horror as he had just realized that he was rock hard and so was the redhead.

“Oh man, gods I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. I took advantage of you.”

Yusuke felt like shit knowing that Shuichi was obviously going through the pits and what does he do to help his friend? Kiss and molest him. Yeap, he just won gold for that one.

“It’s okay. I wanted you to kiss me, Yusuke.”

The older boy was shocked as Shuichi lifted his head and initiated another kiss. Once again they were in a lip lock, but this time it was more paced and less frantic. They were actually kissing each other. Yusuke held both hands on each side of Shuichi’s face tenderly as they continued the kiss.

Shuichi’s lips were soft and inviting. He had kissed plenty of girls before, but kissing the redhead was just absolutely amazing.

Once that kiss ended, Yusuke held the younger boy again. “I think we need to talk about things, Shuichi. I must confess I’m a bit confused about all of this.” Yusuke broke the embrace and searched for those beautiful green eyes. “I’d never, ever, in a million years, thought that I would kiss another guy. I’ve never been attracted to guys before, Shuichi. Actually, I do believe that I’m still not attracted to other guys, but somehow I’m extremely attracted to you.”

Shuichi smiled and leaned into Yusuke’s hand which was caressing his hair. “I’ve been attracted to you since the first time I saw you, Yusuke. But, I knew that I couldn’t have you because you’re straight. I’m not sure how this happened, but I hope you don’t regret it; regret kissing me.”

Yusuke placed another gentle kiss on Shuichi’s lips. “I would never regret kissing you.” He once again gave him another gentle kiss. “I’m just a bit confused that’s all.”

Shuichi tucked his head under Yusuke’s chin and sighed. “What do you want to do, Yusuke? I’m okay if you don’t want to pursue these feelings you have for me.” Shuichi tightened his arms around Yusuke’s waist and shut his eyes tight. “I can understand if you don’t want to… be with me that way.” He felt as another tear fell down his cheek.

Yusuke held Shuichi tighter and placed a kiss on the top of his hair. “I know that I like being around you and talking to you. I think about you all the time too. I’ve never cared what people thought of me before, but if we’re gonna be, you know, a couple, I just want time to tell my friends before they find out on their own. If that’s okay?” Yusuke felt relieved when Shuichi nodded. “Now, Shuichi, I know I have no right to stick my nose where it don’t belong, but seeing you miserable like this is really fucked up. Could you please tell me what’s going on with you?”

Shuichi sighed and sat back on the bench. Yusuke sat right beside him waiting for his response. “It’s just my step father. We are not getting along and I hate to see my mother suffer because of that.”

“Well…” Yusuke straddled the bench and motioned Shuichi to do the same. Then he sat against the redhead’s back so that he could lean over his chest. “…I have time, if you want to talk about it.”

And so Shuichi explained their situation making sure to omit the parts where his step father had tried to rape him and other such sensitive subjects. Even though the man was a pervert, he was still his father.

----

This was not good. He was now in a stare down against Hiei and Koenma. “What the fuck are you guys talking about? You must really be smoking some crack, man.”

“Yusuke, you can’t lie to us. We’re very perceptive and you can’t hide it any more, so are we right or not?”

Yusuke let himself fall onto the couch and sighed. “Fuck the both of you and fuck your fucked up ideas. Think whatever the hell you want. I don’t give a shit.”

Hiei and Koenma exchanged interested looks. “So, it’s true then. You like that boy. Wow, Yusuke I would’ve never thought you were going to join this side of the fence.” Koenma said as he graciously sat on the chair opposite to Yusuke.

Hiei snorted at that and rearranged himself as he sat on the window sill like usual. “Tsk, tsk, tsk, what is this world coming to?”

Yusuke gave him the best ‘fuck you’ look he could muster. “I’m not gay.” He said looking at Koenma. “or Bi either.” He glanced at Hiei then sighed. “I just like him, only him. I’m not into other guys.”

Koenma snickered and glanced back at Hiei who returned the gesture. “So, why, exactly, do you like this one boy?”

“Aaarrgghhhh, I don’t fucking know, okay. It just happened.”

Koenma stood and walked towards Yusuke. He very properly knelt beside him. “So, do you want my help or are you going to ‘wing it' when the time comes?”

Yusuke covered his face with his arms and let out a pained noise. “Geez, I don’t want any sex advice from the two of you. Gods, you’re both sick in the fucking head.” He removed his arms and looked at both of them. “I don’t want anyone to know about this. I will let them know when I’m ready. Okay?” He didn’t like the fact that neither of the two said ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to that last comment. “Oh, fuck me. Fine, fine… tell me what you want, but if I find out you guys told, I will fucking cut your balls off. I swear.”

Hiei chuckled and Koenma smiled triumphantly. They loved torturing Yusuke.

----

After hearing all of the things that Hiei and Koenma had told him, he just wasn’t sure that he could do all that. “Gods, you are both perverted.”

Koenma smiled and then leaned into Yusuke a bit more. “You know that you have to be very careful with him the first time.”

Yusuke sat up on the couch and stared at him. “What do you mean, the first time? The first time what?”

Hiei snorted and Koenma tilted his head to the side. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Yusuke. His first time. Shuichi’s first time. He’s a virgin, idiot.”

Yusuke frowned at that and let himself fall back on the couch. “He’s not a virgin… why do you say that?”

Koenma looked at Hiei and raised an eyebrow. “Is he or is he not?” Hiei nodded in agreement. “There you go. We know a virgin when we see one and he is so a virgin.”

Yusuke snorted and closed his eyes. “Whatever man.”

----

Shuichi was focused on his studying when all of a sudden his head was yanked back by someone pulling on his hair. He went to yell when his mouth was brutally taken by his step father’s lips. He panicked and pushed himself against the dining room table making the chair, and him, fall backwards. Shuichi felt his breath escape him as his back and the back of his head hit the floor. He immediately flipped over and found himself on his hands and knees. He went to stand up and run, but was hit hard in between his shoulder blades by one of his own books.

“You fucking bastard!!!”

Hearing his step father curse, Shuichi once again got on his hands and knees and tried as fast as he could to get away. He made it to the archway where the kitchen leads into the hall, but was once again grabbed by his hair. He was then turned around and kissed forcefully. Shuichi took the opportunity to bite his step father’s tongue.

Furiously his step father tackled him and slammed him onto the wall. He felt as the kitchen began to spin from the impact of his head hitting the wall. Shuichi lifted his head to try to figure out where the hall was when his step father took another book from the dining room table and hit him across the face with it. This time Shuichi fell to his knees coughing up the blood that ran down the back of his throat from his nose.

“You’re not getting away from me, little Shuichi. Not tonight.” He spat into the boy’s face as he once again held his head back by grabbing to his hair.

Once his step father let go of his hair, Shuichi braced himself by placing both hands on the floor. He was struggling to breathe and was still trying to figure out which way to run. Then his hand touched the corner of the book that his step father had used to break his nose. He didn’t think he had the strength to grab it, but when he heard the sound of a zipper being undone he panicked. Shuichi mustered all of his strength and with a loud grunt brought the book up in between his step father’s legs making sure to aim for that one spot.

He let the book fall back to the floor and tried to catch his breath. His step father was curled up on the floor grabbing his privates and cursing at him. He knew that this was his only chance. He began to crawl in the direction that he thought would lead him to his mother when the older man reached and grabbed him.

Shuichi screamed as he felt the nails biting onto his lower back and felt horrified when his step father grabbed a hold of the elastic band of his pajama pants. He screamed again at the feel of the garment leaving his body and exposing his backside. Shuichi saw in revulsion how his step father looked at his bared skin with bad intent. He started kicking and was lucky to actually get his step father on the nose, which freed him from the man’s grasp.

Shuichi pulled the pajama pants up and started crawling away finally finding the way out of the kitchen. He felt relieved knowing that he was in the hall and going in the right direction, so he once again gathered his strength and stood on his shaken legs.

Once he was in his mother’s room, he grabbed the only chair in there and jammed it against the door knob to make sure that his step father couldn’t get in. He took a couple of steps backwards and stood there waiting for the man to come rushing in, but nothing happened.

He turned his attention to his mother’s sleeping form on the bed. Shuichi knelt by the bed and let his head rest over his mother’s chest. He didn’t want to wake her, but he couldn’t stop shaking. He cried silently and hoped that his step father wouldn’t barge in. Because if he did, he knew that he was too weak to fight him again. Having to have crawled up the stairs had pretty much drained him.

----

“Oh, God, Shuichi. What happened?”

He was awakened by the sound of his mother’s voice. He opened his eyes to see his mother crying and a worried look in her eyes. Shuichi then brought his hand to his face and felt the soreness of his injuries. He could still taste the blood in his mouth.

“I’m calling the authorities. He can’t do this to you.”

Shuichi took his mother’s hand and pressed it to his chest. “I’m okay mother. Nothing happened. He’s already left. I’m sure. He’ll be out of town all week.”

He saw as his mother looked at the chair jamming the door and then she looked back at him. “I just didn’t want him to come in here.” He then stood up and unhinged the chair and put it back where it went.

“Shuichi, you have blood on your back!”

He had forgotten about that and turned to see his mother holding a hand to her mouth and tears running down her face.

“Shuichi, he didn’t… did he?”

He touched his back and hissed. He then sat on the bed to show his mother what happened. “No, look, he just scratched me when I was trying to get away from him. That’s all.” He felt as his mother lightly touched the wound.

“We need to get you cleaned up.”

Shuichi nodded and went to gather the medical kit. Once he returned, he let his mother treat his wounds. “I won’t be able to attend school for a couple of days. I’ll ask Yusuke to get the assignments for me. He won’t mind doing that.”

Shiori finished dressing his back and then turned to his nose. “There’s not much I can do here. You just have to hope that it heals right.” Shuichi nodded once again. “Are you going to call him now before he leaves for school?”

Shuichi turned to look at the phone and then walked towards it. He knew that he needed Yusuke to bring him his assignments, but had to think of what to say when he came by in the afternoon to drop them off.

----

Yusuke was rushing to his locker. He wanted to get to Shuichi’s house as soon as he could. It wasn’t everyday that a school junkie like Shuichi missed school. When Shuichi had called him, he said he wouldn’t be attending for a couple of days. That was just so not like him.

He turned to head towards the front doors when he was stopped by Keiko.

“Yusuke, hey, how was your day?”

He sighed. He didn’t want to waste any more time. “Keiko, I need to get to Shuichi’s house to drop these off and am running a bit late.”

Keiko looked at the papers in his hand and then back to Yusuke. “Is he sick?”

That gave him a bad feeling in his stomach. “I think so. He called me this morning and told me to get these for him, so I’m about to drop them off now. Can we talk later?” He went to walk past her, but felt her hand on his arm which made him look up at her.

“Yusuke, is there something you want to tell me?”

He paled at that unexpected question. “No, why do you think I need to tell you something?”

Keiko crossed her arms over her chest before addressing him. “You’ve been spending a lot of time with Shuichi. Even Kazuma said that he hasn’t seen you in like forever. I know that you’re studying and all, but you’ve been dissing us.”

Yusuke ran his fingers through his hair knowing that what Keiko was saying was true. “I know I’ve been a jerk lately, but Shuichi has become a good friend of mine too. You guys have made some comments about him before and it made me think that you didn’t like him, so I’ve been spending a lot of time with him and not ya’ll because we’re studying.”

Keiko tilted her head to the side. “You think that we don’t like him, Yusuke. We don’t even know him.”

Yusuke also crossed his arms over his chest before defending his point. “So, you guys won’t give him a hard time if he comes over to Hiei’s or Kazuma’s house to one of our get togethers. Is that what you’re saying?”

“Of course he’ll be treated well. We’re not a bunch of stuck up idiots, you know.”

Yusuke sighed and put his hands on his hips. “Fine. I’ll bring him over this week. We’ll see.”

“Fine, I’ll tell the others.”

Yusuke ‘hned’ and started walking towards the front doors again.

----

Yusuke was shocked to hell when Shuichi opened the door. “What the hell happened? You look like you were hit by a Mack truck.” He reached to touch the redhead’s face and immediately pulled his hand back when he heard the boy hiss in pain. “Oh fuck, sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. Shit…”

Shuichi turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Yusuke came inside and after closing the front door followed the redhead. “Shuichi, what happened?” He leaned against Shuichi and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

“My step father and I had an argument again.”

Yusuke took a step back and took a pretty good look at the redhead’s face. “Man, what did you do to deserve this? Did you kick him on the balls or what? Shit, Shuichi, he can’t be hitting you like that. What did your mom say?”

Shuichi turned away from him and took a couple of steps towards one of his books that was still lying on the floor. “She’s upset, but we’re just dealing with it. He’s out of town until Friday.” He then bent over to pick up the book.

“What the fuck is that on your back?”

Shuichi immediately brought his hand to his back as he stood up. He had forgotten that he had put on the only pair of low riding jeans he had. He wanted something low over his hips so that it wouldn’t rub against the wound too much. “I just fell back when he hit me and got this.”

Yusuke took a couple of steps towards the redhead and could see the boy trembling. “I’m not going to push it any more, because I can tell that you don’t want to talk about it. But you’re obviously lying to my face.” When Shuichi brought his gaze to the floor, he felt like an idiot for being so harsh. “Look, I know you’ll tell me when you’re ready, but all I ask is that you don’t lie to me. If you’re not ready, then you’re not ready. But don’t make things up, please.”

Shuichi let the tears fall down his face as Yusuke took him into a tight hug. “I’m sorry. I just… I need some more time.”

“Shhh, I know, I know. Listen, you shouldn’t be running around here doing house chores with those injuries.” Yusuke ran his hand from Shuichi’s back to the nape of his neck and then up higher and froze when the boy hissed again. Yusuke very gently palpated the huge lump the kid had on the back of his head.

Shuichi very sheepishly tucked his head under Yusuke’s chin and held his body against him hoping that he wouldn’t ask about that either.

Yusuke just sighed and let that one go. He placed a kiss on the younger boy’s temple and wrapped his arms around his shoulders tightly.

----

It was Friday night and Yusuke was at Shuichi’s house watching a movie. He was sitting on the couch while the redhead sat on the floor in between his legs. He was combing that beautiful mane of hair and wondering how the younger boy could keep up with it. He was mainly brushing the top since Shuichi still had a bad bump on the back of his head. “What time is your mom going to be ready?”

Shuichi looked at the time and then back at the television. “She should be ready any minute now.”

It was really a miracle that Shuichi’s mom was feeling so well. She had even been getting out of bed and doing things for herself. It had occurred to Yusuke that since Shuichi’s mother seem to need some company and he needed a role model for his mother, that maybe the two of them should spend time together.

They had met earlier that week and now were going to have a ‘girls night’ at Yusuke’s house where they were going to talk about ‘girl stuff’ and all that junk. “What time is ‘he’ going to be back?”

Shuichi let out a sigh and shifted his weight a little feeling a bit uncomfortable with the question. “In a couple of hours.”

Yusuke ran his fingers through Shuichi’s hair one more time and then leaned down and placed a kiss on the top of his head. Shuichi then looked up at him and he took the opportunity to place a kiss on the boy’s lips. The position allowed for the both of them to savor each other’s bottom lips which they loved to do. Hearing footsteps behind them, they knew that Shuichi’s mother was coming down the stairs indicating it was time to go.

“How do I look boys?”

Both Yusuke and Shuichi smiled at the woman’s good mood. “You look PHAT Mrs. M.”

Shuichi chuckled at that comment and Shiori gave him a questioning look because the acronym was pronounced like the word ‘fat’. “He means to say, you look lovely, mother.” He then elbowed his boyfriend and they headed out the door. He didn’t want to have to tell his own mother that Yusuke had implied that she looked ‘Pretty Hot And Tempting’ (PHAT).

----

Yusuke kissed his mother on the cheek and waited for Shuichi to do the same. “We’ll be at Hiei’s. Don’t wait up.”

“Have fun, Shuichi.” She hugged her son and gave him a smile.

Shuichi returned her smile and then headed to the front door where Yusuke was waiting.

----

It was pretty damn hard to keep his hands from Shuichi in front of everyone. He had not yet told Keiko, Kazuma or Shizuru. Hiei and Koenma somehow had figured it out, but had kept their promise not to tell. Yusuke took another sip from his beer and looked at Shuichi again. He had asked him to wear those low riding, hip hugging jeans that he wore that one day and was now regretting it. The redhead looked absolutely amazing in those jeans.

“Hey, Urameshi.” He almost jumped out of his skin to hear Kazuma call his name. He glanced over to see him trying to do the limbo. Keiko and Shizuru kept lifting the broomstick knowing that Kazuma was going to fall on his ass. And he did. Yusuke threw his head back and laughed at the site.

“He’s entrancing. Isn’t he?”

Yusuke turned to see Hiei standing next to him looking over at Shuichi across the room. “He does look fucking amazing.” Yusuke couldn’t hide that fact. Shuichi had gotten under his skin.

“I agree. I believe Koenma does too.”

Yusuke smiled at how Shuichi was laughing at whatever Koenma was telling him. “Fuck, I should have told everyone. Now I have to stand here like an idiot gawking at him.”

“Go to the bathroom and take a few minutes with him, then come back. Everyone here is drunk. They won’t even notice.” Leave it to Hiei to come up with such a wicked idea.

Yusuke raised his eyebrows and looked up at Hiei. “Fine, tell him I’m waiting for him.” He then turned and headed for the bathroom.

Shuichi was just amazed at the way Yusuke was kissing him. He had pounced on him the minute he had walked through that door. “Ahhh, gods Yusuke…”

Yusuke smiled and gently kissed on the mistreated skin. He had bitten Shuichi hard, but not hard enough to break the skin. “Why were you drinking? Your mom said for you not to drink.” He went from one side of his neck to the other. “You’ve been bad, so I had to bite you.” He then bit Shuichi again feeling his skin crawl as he heard the boy moan.

He then turned Shuichi around and pulled his form fitting shirt up to expose his back. Yusuke took a good look at that beautiful skin and how low those jeans were really riding. He placed gentle kisses from between the shoulder blades down the boy’s spine. Yusuke made sure not to kiss over the obvious nail marks on Shuichi’s back. The wound was mostly healed but still visible. He got even harder when he heard Shuichi moan as his lips reached the swell of his back.

“Yusuke…” Shuichi whimpered the other’s name.

Yusuke reached around the front and undid the first button on the redhead’s jeans which made them ride even lower exposing a bit of his ass crack. Yusuke placed his lips there and let his tongue push his way between the jeans and the skin. He grabbed Shuichi hard by the hips when he heard the redhead gasp at the feel of his wet tongue over his backside.

“Ohhh… mmm…” Shuichi couldn’t believe that Yusuke was doing this. It must be the beer.

Yusuke felt bold enough to undo the second button of the boy’s jeans. He loved hearing Shuichi melting in his hands. He moved his face away just a little to see how the jeans fell just about an inch from the boy’s hips exposing even more of his skin and backside. Yusuke wanted to make up for the time that he had been unable to touch the redhead. He placed his mouth against that beautiful skin as his hands buried themselves inside the front of Shuichi’s pants allowing Yusuke to feel Shuichi’s cock for the first time.

“Yusuke… oh gods… ahhh…”

It was just amazing to do this with Shuichi. He was actually glad to have listened to Koenma and Hiei about how to melt this beautiful siren of a boy to his very touch. And then… hell broke loose.

BANG! BANG! BANG! “I need to pee, open the door!!!”

Yusuke froze his movements and stayed as quiet as he could. Shuichi did the same.

“Who’s in there?! I need to pee!”

It was Keiko and where there was Keiko, there was Shizuru. Yusuke stood and helped Shuichi re-button his pants. He then placed his index finger in front of his lips signaling the redhead to be quiet. Yusuke reached for his cell phone and called Hiei. 'Come on man, answer the fucking phone.'

“Yusuke?”

Yusuke felt relieved hearing Hiei’s voice. “Listen man, Keiko is banging on the door to the bathroom. I can’t get out without her seeing Shuichi too.” He whispered into the phone.

“I’m on it.”

He then leaned into Shuichi and kissed him gently. “Her fucking timing sucks… bitch.”

Shuichi chuckled and rubbed his front against Yusuke.

Yusuke hissed and looked into Shuichi’s eyes. “If I ask Hiei, do you want to spend the night with me… here?”

Shuichi took a few seconds to think about it and then nodded.

Yusuke placed another kiss on Shuichi’s lips and held him. “Mmm… I’ve been looking forward to that for a long fucking time.”

“Hey, that’s my fucking door, Keiko! Stop banging on it. Geez, use the other bathroom.”

They both waited a little bit longer to make sure.

“Yusuke, the coast is clear.”

Hearing Koenma’s voice, they both stepped out of the bathroom and into the living room. Koenma took Shuichi by the hand and guided him away from Yusuke. Then Hiei was once again standing next to him.

“Was it worth it?” Hiei asked with a devilish look on his face.

“Fuck yeah it was. I would do it again in a second.” Both of them laughed at that and then turned their attention back to Kazuma who was babbling and about to fall asleep on the couch. “Hiei, is it okay for me and Shuichi to spend the night here? I’m a little bit fucked up and he’s been drinking too. His mom will have a cow if she sees him drunk.”

Hiei took another sip of his beer and then nodded. “Sure, I think it’s time these idiots left anyway.” And with that he headed towards Kazuma to help him stand up. Just then Keiko and Shizuru appeared and helped take the drunken boy to their car.

Yusuke stood by the front window watching them leave. Once the car sped down the street, he felt relieved. He was going to have to tell the others soon. He couldn’t be hiding like this.

Hiei came through the front door and closed it making sure that the locks were in place.

“Hey, Koenma is still here, man.”

Hiei looked at Yusuke with his trademark smirk. “I know, and he will be for a while longer.”

Yusuke was shocked to hear that and immediately put the two-and-two together. “You and him…?!!!”

Hiei ‘hned’ and then glanced at both Koenma and Shuichi who were busy picking up beer bottles and all the other mess there was. “Relax man. We’re just fuck buddies.” He then turned his attention back to Yusuke. “So, do you need anything for tonight?”

Yusuke felt a blush come over his face. He wasn’t expecting that question, but Hiei was not known to have a filter when it came to that mouth. He just said it like it was and whenever he liked. Blunt as hell. “Um, I’m not sure.”

Hiei sighed and signaled Yusuke to follow him. Once they were in Hiei’s bedroom, he picked up a small pouch and started putting different items in it. “Okay, here’s a crash course… mandatory: lube and condoms. Do you want any of these?”

Yusuke’s eyes opened wide when he was presented with a dildo, handcuffs, blindfold and gag. “What… no man… what kinda freaks are you? Geez…”

Hiei laughed at that. “Just know I’ve got them when you need them.” He then looked at Yusuke. “Once you two start having sex regularly, believe me, you’ll come asking for them.” He then zipped up the pouch and slapped it against Yusuke’s chest. “You’re welcome. Now go get laid.”

----

Yusuke closed the bedroom door and made sure that the lock was on. Shuichi seemed nervous and he knew it. He stood behind the redhead and wrapped his arms around his waist. He loved it when Shuichi turned his head to the side, to give him access to his neck. “We can just go to bed, Shuichi. We don’t have to do anything else.”

Shuichi turned around and let Yusuke kiss him. He moaned into the older boy’s mouth and let Yusuke pull him to where their bodies were pressed together. After ending the kiss he looked into those dark brown eyes. “I want to do it… I want you to be… my first Yusuke, not…”

Yusuke frowned at that. He saw as Shuichi paled and turned his gaze from him. He reached for the boy’s chin and then kissed him again. He was sure that Shuichi said ‘not…’, but that could mean a lot of things. There was another time for questioning. Right now was not the time. Especially now that he had just found out that the redhead was actually a virgin. Hiei and Koenma had told him that they thought he was a virgin. Now he knew that he had to be extra careful with him tonight, just like Koenma said.

He broke from the kiss and pulled his shirt off and then started with his shoes. Shuichi took his shoes off and then met Yusuke’s eyes. Yusuke closed the gap between them and very slowly reached for the hem of the shirt Shuichi was wearing. He pulled it up and off and then let it fall to the floor. Seeing all that beautiful pale skin made him hard in a second. He took the redhead’s lips once again and started moving them towards the bed.
