DisclaimI doI don't own Yu Yu Hakusho


Kurama sat on a park bench watching the sunset, it had been an uneventful day and he was glad to see it coming to an end. He was considering going home when he heard his name called out from behind. His heart skipped a beat as he recognized the voice. “Yusuke!’ he thought to himself. He didn’t dare turn his head around just yet to call out a greeting; instead he waited for a few seconds longer, waiting for his overly excited grin to leave his face.

“Hey Kurama,” Yusuke called out again only this time he said it as he sat down on the bench next to Kurama. “Hey didn’t you hear me calling you?” he asked sounding a little annoyed.

Kurama gave his friend a small smile and said in an apologetic tone, “I’m sorry I guess I was a little distracted.”
‘Yeah, distracted by my feelings for you,’ Kurama thought sadly to himself. Even though he was feeling melancholy on the inside, he put on sunny disposition for his friend.

“So what brings you here Yu? I ? I thought for sure you would be doing something with Keiko right now.” Kurama winced inwardly as he said the words aloud. For the most part he was happy about Yusuke’s relationship with Keiko. She was after all a lovely young girl and as long as Yusuke was happy then Kurama told himself that he would be happy for him too. But still there was small part of him that was jealous of their relationship, there was a part of him that desperately wished that one day it would be him Yusuke would be holding instead of Keiko.

Kurama physically shook his head to rid himself of those thoughts. Thinking such things weren’t going to do him any good and besides, Yusuke was here with him now. He decided to just enjoy the moment and not think about things he couldn’t change. But he still couldn’t help but notice that Yusuke didn’t answer huestuestion. When Yusuke finally did get around to acknowledging his question all he said was, “The same reason you’re not with Hiei tonight, I needed a break.” His voice had a slight edge to it that made Kurama tense a little. He didn’t quite understand what Yusuke meant by his comment, but he decided not to push it.

Kurama decided to change the subject all therther. “So how did you know where to find me?” Kurama was curious to know, because he didn’t remember ever mentioning this spot to Yusuke or any of his other friends for that matter.

“Well I went to your house and you weren’t there, your mom said you would probably be here.” Yusuke replied.

Kurama smiled to himself in the setting sunlight. Of course his mother would know that he was here, when he was still a young child they used to come here together at least twice a week and watch the sunset. As he grew older and began asserting his independence more he started coming here on his own when he wanted privacy or if he just needed some time to think. Kurama was a little surprised to hear that Yusuke went to his house to talk to him. nly nly went to his house if it was really important and Kurama could tell that this wasn’t an emergency meeting, so he was curious to know what Yusuke wanted to see him for.

Before Kurama could ask Yusuke why he was looking for him, Yusuke gave him an answer. “I just wanted to talk to you is all, so I went to your house,” Yusuke said in a voice so low that Kurama could barely make it out. Kurama’s heart leapt as soon as he realized what Yusuke said. He knew he shouldn’t read too much into the words, but he was happy to hear them nonetheless.

“Well whatever you want to talk about I’m here for you Yusuke,” Kurama said trying to keep the emotion out of his voice.

“Well there is something that I wanted to ask you about,” Yusuke said sounding kind of embarrassed. Kurama waited patiently for his friend to continue, but he didn’t, so the two of them sat in a semi-comfortable silence. The silence was broken by the sound of Yusuke sliding closer to him on the bench. He wasn’t sitting right next to Kurama, but he was easily within reaching distance of the red-haired boy. There was still a small space between the two boys, but it was a friendly kind of distance, the kind that was acceptable between friends.

“Kurama,” Yusuke said in a small voice that sounded so unlike his usual brash self, “Can I ask you a question?” Kurama told his friend yes and waited to hear his question. “How do you feel about Hiei?” he asked sounding very rushed and nervous. Despite his best intentions Kurama let out a small laugh. It certainly wasn’t a question that he was expecting to hear.

“What do you mean how do I feel about Hiei?” he questioned still laughing slightly.

“You know what I mean,” Yusuke began slightly stammering, “You know how do you FEEL about him,” as he said this he lifted his hands up in the air and let them fall back down hard against his legs.

Kurama answered Yusuke’s question with a question, “How do you think I feel about Hiei?” he asked. He was eager to hear what Yusuke thought.

“Well I think you’re in love with him,” he said in an eerily calm voice, it almost sounded like he had been rehearsing the line in front of a mirror.

Kurama forgot his usually calm composure and started laughing hysterically. He was laughing so hard that he started hitting the bench, trying to force himself to breathe. He even felt tears forming in the corners of his eyes from his laughing. When Kurama finally calmed down enough to at least speak properly, he asked his friend, “What makes you think I’m in love with Hiei?”

Yusuke shrugged his shoulders and mumbled, “I don’t know.” As soon as he heard Yusuke’s voice, Kurama instantly felt bad for laughing, the younger dark-haired boy sounded miserable and embarrassed

Kurama touched his friend’s shoulder, he felt even worse when he felt the other boy’s shoulder flinch under his touch. Kurama tried to rectify the situation by taking Yusuke’s question seriously. “How do I feel about Hiei,” he saidmingmingly talking to himself. “Well obviously he’s my closest friend,” he said pausing to gather his thoughts, “I guess Hiei thinks the same of me even though he’ll never admit it. As for me loving him…I do love him as a friend. Maybe I’m even a little in love with him, but I think everybody is a little bit in love with his or her best friend. That’s why that person is your best friend, because you see qualities in them that make them very special to you. Even though you seese qse qualities you don’t necessarily want to have a dating relationship with this person. Does that make any sense to you Yusuke?”

“Yeah,” Yusuke said sounding more like his u sel self.

The sun was quickly setting and it was getting darker outside, however, it wasn’t quite dark enough for the parks light to turn on yet. In the dim light Kurama couldn’t make out his friend sliding closer to him, but he could certainly feel him moving nearer. “Kurama?” Yusuke queried in low tone, “Can I ask you another question?”

Kurama swallowed hard and said “yes” in hoarse voice, the closeness of Yusuke’sy way was starting to get to him.

“Kurama,” Yusuke said, as he spoke he inched his hand closer to Kurama’s hand that was resting on the bench. “Kurama, how do you feel about me?” Yusuke asked in a voice so low that at first Kurama thought he had imagined hearing it.

The normally eloquent Kurama was speechless, never in million years would he had even dreamed of hearing Yusuke ask him something like that. The only thing the red haired boy could say, was “I beg your pardon?”

Clearly frustrated Yusuke jumped off the bench and paced around it a couple of times. When he calmed down enough he sat back down next to Kurama, the two were now sitting shoulder to shoulder. Yusuke turned his face to towards his friend’s and said in a clear and strong voice, “I want to know how you feel about me Kurama.”

Kurama began in a nervous voice, “Well I think of you as a really good fiend. And I uh…well I uh…I don’t know.” He stopped talking not knowing what to say, part of him wanted to shout at the top of his lungs “I love you Yusuke Urameshi!! I love you so much it feels as if my heart will burst from all the love it holds for you.’ The more sensible part of him wanted to keep quiet and not tell his friend his true feelings and not risk ruining their friendship.

Stalling for time Kurama decided to ask Yusuke a question, “Yusuke before I answer your question I would like for you to answer a question of my own.” He waited to see if Yusuke would agree to his terms. The other boy simply nodded his head in agreement. “How do you feel about Keiko Yusuke, are you in love with her?” Kurama asked preparing himself to hear an answer he wouldn’t like.

“Well I love her, but I’m not in love with her. Even though I care an awful lot about Keiko, I know she’s not the one I want to be with. n’t n’t love her the way I love you Kurama.” As he spoke these words Yusuke grabbed a hold of his friend’s hand.

Kurama froze, ‘this to to be some sort of a joke. A cruel, cruel, cruel practical joke’ he thought to himself. As he thought this the park’s lights automatically came on illuminating the once dark area. When the lights came on Kurama was able to see how serious Yusuke really was. Yusuke was staring directly into Kurama’s face, his dark brown eyes shining with an intense honesty and love. The depth of emotions he saw reflected in them took Kurama aback. “Do you really love me Yusuke?” Kurama asked, “Because if you don’t mean it you really shouldn’t s say it.”

Yusuke held his friend’s hand even tighter, and spoke to him in a gentle voice “I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life. Kurama I love you.” As if to make his point Yusuke leaned forward and kissed Kurama fully on his lips.

Kurama sat unmoving on the park bench not sure what to do. “Kurama, how do you feel about me?” Yusuke asked again putting his heart on the line.

“Well I love you too,” Kurama said hardly believing he was finally saying those words out loud.

Yusuke smiled broadly and exclaimed, “Whew!! At least now I can finally breath again.” The two boys shared a laugh and when they stopped laughing their eyes met, they both leaned forward and kissed one another. As they kissed time stopped for the two of them, all that existed were two hearts joining as one.

They only stopped kissing when they ran out of air. “I’ve been wanting to do that for so long,” Yusuke whispered into Kuramear,ear, still embracing his body.

“Me too,” Kurama sighed, nuzzling his face into Yusuke’s neck. “Yusuke how long have you felt this way about me?” Kurama inquired not letting go of Yusuke’s body.

“For quite a while now. I can’t say for certain when I knew that I was in wit with you, but from the beginning you always captivated me. Then I became friends with you and got to see what an amazing person you were and the next thing I knew I couldn’t see myself living without you,” Yusuke replied stroking Kurama’s hair.

“I guess it was the same way for me too,” Kurama said thoughtfully, “from the very beginning I was intrigued by you and attracted to you. I thought once we started working together on cases that it would fade away, but it grew into more than I could ever expect.”

The two of them sat in silence for a while, still embracing one another. “Yusuke, why did you think I was in love with Hiei?” Kurama asked his curiosity getting the best him.

“I don’t know…” Yusuke began, “I guess because I always saw you two together and you just seemed so close. I guess I kinda just assumed the rest.” Kurama buried his face into Yusuke’s neck and kissed it gently.

“I can assure you that Hiei and I are only friends and the only one I love is you.” Kurama felt Yusuke smile which warmed Kurama's heart.

“I don’t want tonight to end,” Kurama said in dreamy sigh.

“It doesn’t have to end,” Yusuke said in response. Kurama lifted his head and looked at Yusuke a quizzical expression forming on his face. Yusuke continued, “My mom is going to be gone tonight, so if you want to you can spend the night with me.”

Kurama was delighted to hear this, but a shadow passed over his face, “What do I tell my mother though?”

Yusuke shrugged his shoulders and said, “Just tell her you’re spending tightight at my house.”

Kurama nodded his head and said, “Okay, let’s continue this at your house then.”

Yusuke jumped off the bench and yelled, “All right let’s go!!” He then pulled Kurama off the bench and they quickly left the park.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yusuke was waiting patiently on Kurama’s front porch when the door opened and his friend came outside. “Well what did she say?” Yusuke asked anxious to know what was going on. Kurama smiled brightly and removed the overnight bag he was concealing behind his back. Yusuke gave a shout of triumph and pumped his fist in the air. “I can’t believe she said yes,” Yusuke commented once he calmed down.

“Mother was actually quite happy to hear that I wanted to spend the night afriefriend’s house. She never saw me show any interest in havingendsends before, so naturally she was glad to find out that I had one.” Yusuke draped his arm around Kurama’s shoulder as they walked towards his place.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

When they reached the apartment Yusuke checked around to make sure that it was empty seeing that the coast was clear Yusuke motioned for Kurama to follow him inside. Kurama entered into the apartment and closed the door behind him. Standing in the middle of the room Yusuke turned to his friend and asked him if he wanted anything. Kurama walked over to him, wrapped his arms around him tightly and kissed him passionately. “I want you,” Kurama said to Yusuke in a husky voice.

Yusuke gave the red-haired boy a wolfish grin and said, “I think that can be arranged.” He then grabbed his soon to be lover and led him to his bedroom.

“It’s a little messy,” Yusuke warned Kurama as they entered his room. As soon as they were in the bedroom Yusuke pounced on Kurama pinning him against a wall. Having the older boy exactly where he wanted him, Yusuke started to kissing his soft lips harshly, causing Kurama to moan into his mouth. As he kissed Kurama, Yusuke ran his hands all over the taller boy’s body.

Kurama pushed himself off the wall and started backing Yusuke towards his bed. As soon as Yusuke felt the back of his knees touch the bed he fell don ion it, pulling Kurama with him. Kurama straddled Yusuke’s waist, he leaned over and whispered in a sultry voice, “The things I’m going to do to you Yusuke Urameshi!” All Yusuke could do was grin like an idiot.

Kurama sat back up and slowly removed his shirt revealing a well-toned body covered in soft pale skin. Yusuke lifted his hands to touch the beautiful body, but Kurama caught his hands in mid-air and lightly pinned them back behind Yusuke’s head. When Kurama was satisfied that he wasn’t going to try and move he released his grip. “No Yusuke,” he said in a mock serious tone, “for the moment this my show.”

Yusuke smiled and relaxed against the bed, the only movement he made was when he sat up to help Kurama remove his shirt. When Yusuke had resettled on the bed, Kurama leaned over and began to tenderly kiss his muscular neck. Yusuke let a small hiss as Kurama’s exploring mouth found his most sensitive spot. Kurama let out small chuckle when he realized what he had just discovered. He began to viciously suck and nip at the spot until he felt Yusuke’s body begin to buck with pleasure underneath him. While Yusuke was moving his body underneath Kurama’s he brushed their mutual erections together, which sent a shiver of pleasure up the red-haired boy’s spine. Kurama got so caught up in Yusuke’s movement that he unconsciously began to rock his hips in time with it. Soon both of the boys were moaning uncontrollably. Kurama was so aroused that when Yusuke reached out to touch his body again he didn’t try to stop him. Yusuke started running his hands over Kurama’s chest, his hands came to a rest on his nipples, which he then proceed to pinch and squeeze. Kurama threw his head back and let a strangled growl of pleasure.

The sexual tension became too much for the two boys and soon they were both hurrying to take off the other’s pants. As soon as both boys were undressed, they grabbed a hold of the other’s erection and started to stroke them simultaneously. Kurama’s grip was soft, yet strong, while Yusuke’s touch was rough, yet gentle. The contrasting touches that the boys used on one another made their bodies tingle. They began to arch their backs into the other’s touch, silently asking for more.

It wasn’t long before their concurrent climaxes erupted in a powerful blast, both of them spilling their seed everywhere. Kurama and Yusuke lay down on the bed and clutched each other gently, each trying to catch their breath. Kurama was the first one to speak, “That didn’t go exactly as I planned,” sounding a little regretful as he spoke.

Yusuke laughed and said, “It went a lot better than I expected so don’t even worry about. Besides,” he said in a mischievous tone, “we still have all night!”

“I suppose you’re right Yusuke,” as he spoke Kurama leaned over and began to kiss Yusuke’s lips, taking the younger boy’s lips in a possessive manner. When he finally removed his mouth from Yusuke’s he left the dark-haired boy wanting with desire, his lips were still parted in a silent plea for more; Kurama chuckled at the positively adorable sight. Unable to resist the sight of his body any longer Kurama pulled the other boy’s body on top of his, he twisted his finger’s in Yusuke’s hair and pulled his face in closer so that he could kiss him some more. As Kurama kissed him he grinded his hips against Yusuke’s causing the younger boy to let out small sighs of pleasure. Feeling Yusuke’s body start to harden at his touch Kurama decided to try something different.

Kurama rolled Yusuke over onto his back and crawled down in between his legs. Yusuke smiled excitedly when he realized Kurama’s intentions. “Kurama,” he asked barely able to contain his excitement, “are you really going to…you know do that?”

Kurama merely smiled and proceeded to lower his head. He slowly took the tip of Yusuke’s hardness in his mouth and began to gently suck it. As he sucked on the head of his erection he used his tongue lick his opening at end tasting Yusuke’s salty precum. Yusuke began to let slight moans of pleasure as his hands gripped the sheets. Kurama smiled to himself reveling in the pleasure he was giving to Yusuke. ‘Well I guess he’s definitely ready for more’ he thought to himself as he moved his mouth down lower on Yusuke’s throbbing shaft.

Kurama began to move his head up and down Yusuke’s long and hard member sucking hard as he did so. He didn’t take Yusuke entirely into his mouth just yet instead he only went about halfway down, using his hand to stroke what his mouth neglected. Yusuke growing impatient began to beg Kurama, “Please Kurama… don’t tease me any more… I want more!!” Hearing Yusuke’s desperate pleas Kurama fully engulfed Yusuke’s erection in his mouth, as he did this he used his right hand to squeeze Yusuke’s balls. Yusuke’s hands gripped the sheets even tighter, his toes began to curl and his moans were coming quicker and lo.
.

Kurama was happy with the effect he was having on Yusuke’s body, he was so pleased he decided to try one more new thing on the young boy’s eager and willing body. While he sucked on Yusuke’s member and played with his balls he used his free hand to move deep down in between Yusuke’s legs. He carefully placed his index finger against Yusuke’s tight opening and pressed firmly against it. Yusuke let out a hiss of surprise, Kurama felt his whole body tense, and after a few moments of Kurama’s gentle probing Yusuke let his body relax, his body finally accepting the pleasure being offered to it. Kurama would have moved his finger even deeper inside of Yusuke’s body, but he sensed the boy was dangerously close to the breaking point already.

He slowly began to stop touching Yusuke’s body, as Kurama’s touches began to lessen Yusuke let out groans of disappointment. “Why did you stop?!” he asked rather loudly.

Kurama just smiled and said, “Because I can and because even though I truly do enjoy pleasing you I’m starting to feel a bit neglected.”

Yusuke down looked at Kurama’s incredibly stiff member; it was fully aroused and just begging to be touched. Yusuke smiled and quickly sat up on the bed seemingly entranced by what he was seeing before him. He reached out to stroke Kurama, but his hand fell short. He scooted back on the bed away from Kurama and stared at the blanket covering the bed. Kurama instantly became alarmed by this sudden change in Yusuke’s behavior.

“What’s wrong?” he asked hesitantly almost afraid of what he might hear. Yusuke mumbled something that Kurama couldn’t understand. “What?” Kurama asked wishing that Yusuke would just tell him what his problem was.

“Well I want…you see the thing is…well I want to fuck you! Well not fuck you, actually I do want to fuck you, I just want to say it in a nicer way than ‘I want to fuck you’ I guess the word I’m looking for is intimate or something like that I don’t know. Anyways, my point is I want to fuck you and or be intimate with you except I don’t know how to. Well I know how I just don’t know how to do a good job of it” Yusuke finished his rambling off with a small shrug of his shoulders and a lopsided grin.

Kurama sat on the bed stunned, “Is that all that you were worried about?” Yusuke nodded his head shyly still eyeing the blanket. Kurama scooted closer to his friend on the bed and reached out a hand to lift his chin forcing the younger boy to meet his gaze.

Kurama asked Yusuke in a soft and understanding voice, “Do you want to know the best way to learn something new?” Yusuke nodded his head yes, “Good,” Kurama said in a satisfied voice. “The best way to learn something new is through personal experience.” Having said that he proceeded to grab Yusuke by his legs and flip him on his back. Still holding onto Yusuke’s legssprespread them and slid his body closely in between Yusuke’s open legs, his hardness pressing up against Yusuke’s opening.

“What are you doing!?!” Yusuke stammered looking totally caught off guard.

“I’m giving you some personal experience,” Kurama said with a sly grin on his face.

It took Yusuke all of 15 seconds to decide that he was definitely okay with this, he nodded his approval to Kurama. Kurama was ecstatic to find Yusuke was willing to allow him to be his first, however, his ecstasy quickly turned to worry when he realized he had no lubrication. He began to glance around the room in hopes of finding a suitable substitute. As if he was reading Kurama’s mind Yusuke pointed to his nightstand and simply said, “The top drawer.” Kurama opened the drawer and rummaged around in it until he came across a medium-sized blue and white tube.

Kurama cocked an eyebrow at the dark-haired boy and asked, “How could you have possibly known this would come in handy?”

Yusuke just smiled and said, “I just took a chance. Besides I figured that if things didn’t work out I could at least still use it to jack off with.”

The two boys laughed together for a little while, but the laughter suddenly stopped when Kurama asked Yusuke in a serious voice, “Are you sure you want to do this?” Yusuke’s reply was a simple one all he did was sit up to kiss the red-haired boy’s lips and then lay back down on the bed and wait for Kurama to continue.

Kurama opened the tube of lubricant and rubbed an ample amount on his middle finger he then gently slid the tip of it inside Yusuke’s tight entrance. So far Yusuke seemed okay with what was happening, but Kurama decided to take it slow. As he prepared to slide his finger even deeper he prepped Yusuke by telling him, “This shouldn’t hurt you, but you may feel a little uncomfortable at first.” With those words he eased the rest of his finger inside Yusuke’s opening. The dark-haired boy inhaled sharply, but he didn’t protest against the intrusion. When Kurama felt the younger boy was ready to continue he began to wiggle his finger moving it around inside Yusuke’s body, Yusuke squirmed with pleasure.

“Would you like some more?” Kurama said in low sexy voice, as he spoke he moved his finger faster and harder trying to influence the boy’s decision. At this point Yusuke was beyond words, all that came out when he opened his mouth was a strangled cry of passion that resembled the word yes. “Okay more it is,” Kurama said sounding amused, he then slid another finger inside of Yusuke causing the boy to begin panting.

“Does it feel good Yusuke?” Kurama asked as rapidly moved fingers in and out of Yusuke’s opening.

All Yusuke could do to answer was groan louder and nodded his head yes in an irregularthm.thm. Kurama was becoming incrediarouaroused by the sight of Yusuke’s body being taken to the heights of ecstasy. He wanted so badly to take him right then, but he forced himself to wait until Yusuke asked him to.

Kurama got his answer sooner than he expected when Yusuke told him in a lusty voice, “Kurama!! I want you…I want you inside me now!!” Kurama could barely contain himself as lubed his shaft and placed it at Yusuke’s puckered opening.

“Yusuke,” he said in lust filled voice, “When I first enter inside of you it’s going to hurt a little bit, but just try to wait it out the pain will go away sooner than you think.”

Yusuke said “Okay,” his voice filled with a kind desire that Kurama had never heard before. He lifted Yusuke’s legs a little higher and pulled the younger boy’s body even closer. Kurama used his right hand to steady his erection as he slowly began to push into Yusuke’s tight tunnel, Yusuke’s body jumped as Kurama pushed the head of his shaft inside his body. It didn’t exactly hurt just yet, but it didn’t feel quite right either. Kurama was about halfway inside before Yusuke gave the first sign of real pain. Yusuke’s whole body tensed, Kurama slowly caressed Yusuke’s chest and whispered in soothing tones for him to relax. Yusuke willed himself to relax and as soon as he felt ready he urged the older boy to continue.

With a few more slow and steady strokes he was completely inside of Yusuke Kurama marveled at how tight the boy’s body was. He sat completely still waiting to feel Yusuke’s body relax again, Kurama could tell that he was having a hard time adjusting to the fullness his body was experiencing. Yusuke’s body finally calmed down and he soon realized that Kurama was right the pain did go away sooner than he expected. He smiled up at Kurama his eyes clouded with passion and said in a soft voice, “I want you Kurama.” Kurama willed himself to go slow with Yusuke he mentally counted to ten before he began a slow and steady rhythm of moving in and out of Yusuke’s body. Soon both of the boys were moaning and calling out each other’s names. Kurama kept up the slow pace for few minutes longer, but soon Yusuke was begging him to go harder and deeper.

After hearing Yusuke’s pleas Kurama finally felt comfortable enough to let himself go with the younger, inexperienced boy. He gripped Yusuke’s legs tighter and lifted them higher; he began to plunge in and out of Yusuke at a furious pace wou would pull completely out of Yusuke’s body only to enter it again in one deep thrust aiming for the sweet spot buried deep within. Yusuke began meeting each of Kurama’s thrust trying to take him as deep as he could within his body. Their cries of pleasure mixed and filled the room.

Yusuke was in heaven!! Never before had he experienced such an amazing sensat his his whole felt body was tingling in pleasure and best of all Kurama was there to share the moment with him. Yusuke’s hand, which had previously been clutching the pillow behind his head, was now stroking his own hardness. He was surprised when he found out how hard he was, he couldn’t recall ever feeling this turned on ever! So as Kurama slammed his own body into his, Yusuke stroked his own erection and went into sensory overload. Before Yusuke knew it his vision had gone bright white and then dark black in the span of a few seconds.

The sight of Yusuke stroking himself alone could have made Kurama explode on the spot, but what really did it was when the dark-haired boy came all over his own chest and stomach. That sight is what did Kurama in, after seeing that there was no going back for him, because he came instantaneously inside of Yusuke shooting his hot seed deep inside the boy.

Kurama fell over exhausted on Yusuke’s stomach he was breathing hard and was feeling a little disorientated from his staggering climax. For a few minutes neither boy said anything as they laid together in the bed trying to recover. Kurama was startled when he heard Yusuke exclaim, “Wow! That was unbelievable!”

Kurama merely nodded his head in agreement still too tired to talk. When he finally recovered enough energy he crawled up beside Yusuke and rested his head on the younger boy’s chest. The two boys laid in bed together content not to speak for a while.

However, Kurama was the first one to speak because, he had a nagging tho in in the back of his mind. “Yusuke why did you buy a tube of lubricant if you thought I was in love with Hiei? I know you said you decided to take a chance, but it still doesn’t make any sense.” Kurama was confused and his head was starting to hurt from trying to understand Yusuke’s logic.

Yusuke let out a small laugh and said, “Well I had a feeling that you probably felt the same way about me as I did for you that’s why I bought the lube. But I also felt that you might have had feelings for Hiei too, so that’s why I decided to ask you, because I didn’t want you to regret anything that happened between us. I didn’t want us to do what we did tonight and then the next day have you go ‘what was I thinking’. I just wanted everything to be ok with you and me. Ok?”

Kurama smiled he was touched if not surprised to hear how much Yusuke had been considering his feelings. He leaned over, kissed Yusuke’s lips and whisper in his ear, “Never in a thousand lifetimes could I regret what happened here tonight or what will happen to us in the future.” He draped his arm over Yusuke’s chest and gave him a little hug.

“So where do we go from here,” Yusuke asked not really sounding to concerned, because he already had an idea of what would happen between them.

Kurama simply shrugged his shoulders and said,don’don’t know, all I can say for certain is that this is just the beginning.”

“Yeah, that’s how I feel too.” Yusuke said yawning slightly as he spoke. “And all I can say for certain is that tomorrow is definitely my turn, you know with the intimate stuff.”

Kurama’s replied in a sleepy voice, “Well of course it is Yusuke, I would be upset if it wasn’t.” And with those words the two young lovers drifted off sleep, ready to start a new beginning.
