Chapter 4

The bell rang loudly, waking both Hiroto and Shou from their peaceful sleep in the park. Hiroto sat upright quickly, causing Shou to roll off him. “Oh shit!” He exclaimed, looking around wildly. He couldn’t believe they were still in the park! He quickly scrambled up, brushing the grass off his back. Sensing that Hiroto was in a hurry, Shou sat up and lifted himself off the grass. “We’ve got to go!” Hiroto tugged on Shou’s arm, pulling him back to his dorm room to get them both cleaned up and ready for school.

Hiroto stopped short once he was in the dorms though, seeing that something was immediately off. He glanced to Tora’s bed, finding it empty. He frowned as he looked around, spotting Nao sleepily putting on a shirt. “Nao, where’s Tora?” Nao shrugged in response, glancing at Tora’s bed.

“Don’t know. All I know was that he ran off last night during dinner and Saga went after him. He hasn’t returned since.” Nao replied, wondering if Saga had finally succeeded in getting Tora into bed.

“Oh.” Hiroto nodded and tugged Shou along to the bathroom. Shou waved at Nao in greeting before they disappeared behind the door. “Ok, let’s strip and take a shower.” Hiroto said, quickly pulling off his sweatshirt and t-shirt. Shou followed Hiroto’s hurried movements, undressing himself more easily now that he was more used to wearing clothes. He even went over to start the water for the shower, surprising Hiroto. “I guess you don’t really need me to help anymore.” Hiroto muttered, frowning as he glanced at the floor.

“Pon...” Shou said, surprising Hiroto by sliding up behind him, pressing his naked form against the other’s back. Hiroto gasped, closing his eyes at the feeling of skin on skin contact. It seemed so much more intense after their kisses the night before. “Stay.” Shou whispered into Hiroto’s ear, lips caressing it as he spoke. Hiroto shivered, leaning back against Shou, lips parting. Like he would leave with Shou touching him like this.

The touch didn’t last for long though, because Shou moved away to step into the shower, leaving Hiroto to feel suddenly very cold without Shou’s warmth. He slowly followed, stepping into the shower and staring at the floor as he washed himself off. “You’re quiet.” Shou said, turning to Hiroto after a moment and looking the other over. Hiroto didn’t really move besides sliding the soap over his skin. Shou sighed, lifting Hiroto’s head and leaning in to kiss him lightly on the lips. “I still need you.”

Hiroto closed his eyes, sliding his arms around Shou suddenly and pressing against him as he reattached their lips and immediately deepened the kiss, swallowing any other words that Shou might have wanted to say. Shou hesitantly slid his hands over Hiroto’s back, settling them on the smaller boy’s hips. The hesitancy didn’t last long though, not with the way their tongues were moving together and their slick bodies rubbed against each other. Something seemed to snap inside Shou, awaking some instinct to take charge.

Hiroto squeaked in surprise as Shou slid an hand down the back of his thigh, lifting his leg and pressing him against the shower wall roughly. A small moan was muffled between their lips as suddenly Shou’s hips were grinding against Hiroto’s to create an erotic friction between the two of them. It was too hot and all so fast. Hiroto arched his back, clinging to Shou and lifting his other leg to hook around Shou’s waist. “Oh...Shou...” Hiroto parted his lips from the other’s, panting as Shou grabbed onto his ass, kneading the flesh while he thrust against the smaller one. Hiroto blushed, glancing down to see that they were both getting pretty hard by now and it felt far too good to stop, no matter how sudden it was.

“Nn, Hiroto...” Shou panted against Hiroto’s neck, attaching his mouth to the soft skin there and sucking hard. Hiroto shuddered, more moans falling past his lips at the attention. He couldn’t believe this was the same Shou he had picked up just a few days before.

“Bedroom.” Hiroto mumbled after a minute of Shou’s distracting sucking and licking over his neck, no doubt leaving marks for the others to tease him about later. He still didn’t want his first time to be in shower. Shou lowered Hiroto reluctantly and turned the water off before pulling Hiroto along with him, stopping a few times to heatedly kiss his new boyfriend. Before Hiroto knew what was happening, his back was hitting a bed and Shou was on top of him, attacking his neck again and sliding his hand down between Hiroto’s thighs to touch his aching arousal.
“Fuck!” Hiroto hissed, thrusting up into Shou’s hand and wondering for a moment where Shou learned all of this. He would hurt Saga if that jerk had in any way tainted Shou’s innocence first. Shou smiled, moving his lips slowly lower as he started stroking Hiroto with smooth, slow movements. It reduced Hiroto to a whimpering, begging mess on the bed. Luckily, he noted, Nao had already left. Though they were unfortunately not interruption free.

“What the fuck?” Exclaimed a loud voice as the door to the dorm slammed open. Shou’s movements ceased and Hiroto immediately tensed, a deep blushing rising on his face. Oh shit. Tora was standing in door way looking tired with circles under his eyes and mightily pissed off. “That’s my bed!” He yelled, slamming the door shut behind him. Hiroto squeaked, pushing Shou off him and scrambling to his own bed to hide under it. Shou blinked in confusion before deciding it best to move onto Hiroto’s bed. Tora sighed, taking a pack of cigarettes from his night stand before leaving again with another door slam. He had apparently had a bad night.

“He’s gone, right?” Hiroto whispered, crawling back out from under the bed. Shou looked over the side, nodding. Suddenly, Hiroto wasn’t all that aroused anymore though. “Let’s just get ready to go to school.” He muttered, missing the look of disappointment on Shou’s face.

Saga was also late to breakfast that day and he honestly looked like someone had just told him that his puppy died. Hiroto frowned as he sat next to his friend, setting a hand on his back. “Saga? Are you ok?” Saga heaved a sigh, looking at Hiroto and then at Shou.

“It would be nice to be like you two, completely head over heels for each other...” Saga muttered, before hiding his face in his arms. Hiroto raised his eyebrows, poking Saga’s shoulder.

“Did something happen with Tora? He looked pretty pissed this morning.” Hiroto said, though he was sure that was mostly his and Shou’s fault for attempting to have sex on his bed.

Saga mumbled something into his arm, not helping answer Hiroto’s questions at all. Hiroto rolled his eyes, looking to Shou. Shou was currently absorbed in drinking his soymilk though, perfectly content with it at the moment. Finally, Saga lifted his head enough to give Hiroto a proper answer. “I kissed him.”

“Really?” Hiroto’s eyes widened at the other’s words. Saga nodded miserably, staring at the table’s surface.

“He pushed me away and didn’t even say anything. But Hiroto...the way he looked at me...” Saga bit his lip, hiding his face for a moment. “It stung more than words could.”

“Hey, Hiroto.” Shou said, tugging on Hiroto’s arm. “Do I get to go swimming today?” Hiroto sighed, hitting Shou’s arm lightly.

“No. We’re going to help set Saga and Tora up.” Hiroto answered. Shou tilted his head like a puppy, completely confused by that expression. “Like...so they’ll kiss a lot like we do.”
“Oh.” Shou replied, smiling even though he didn’t really understand.

After searching all over for Tora, Hiroto finally found him in dark classroom, smoking by one of the windows. He was staring into waters with a blank expression on his face. Hiroto heaved a sigh and approached his friend, sitting down in the desk nearest the window. “Tora.” Hiroto said the other’s name, trying to get his attention. Tora glanced over at Hiroto after a moment and stared at him, waiting for him to say what he had to say. “What happened with you and Saga?” Hiroto asked, hoping that Tora would actually give him an answer.

“Nothing.” Tora replied, stubbing out a cigarette on the windowsill. “What did he tell you?”

“He seems to believe he kissed you.” Hiroto crossed his arms, watching as Tora flinched at the mention of a kiss.

“He might’ve.” Tora muttered after a moment. “Doesn’t matter though. He wasn’t serious about it.”

“Oh, I think he was.” Corrected Hiroto. “He was near tears this morning because you rejected him.” Tora was silent then, turning to look out the window again. “I’m sure he can get one of his boyfriends to console him.”

“Tora, don’t talk about Saga like that!” Hiroto scolded, throwing a pencil at Tora and hitting his arm. Tora jumped a little, rubbing his arm. Hiroto was satisfied to see it had hurt. “I think he really likes you, Tora.” Tora sighed, moving away from the window and heading to the door.

“Fine, I’ll talk to him if you leave me alone.” Tora said, giving in. Hiroto smiled in accomplishment. It was really too easy.

Shou had snuck off and he knew that Hiroto would end up being upset with him, but he had to get out and swim. The water called to him like a song and he had to go to it. He stripped off his clothes as he got to the empty pool. Without a second thought, he jumped in and began swimming laps back and forth in the pool. Unfortunately, the pool area wasn’t as empty as he thought. Someone from the swim team was there to practice and caught sight of the naked boy speeding through the water. Miyavi grinned and pulled off his shirt and pants, jumping into the water and beginning to race Shou. Shou realized he had company and smiled as he swam even faster, easily beating Miyavi to the other side of the pool. Miyavi gasped as he lifted his head above the water. “Damn, you’re fast!” Shou smiled and floated closer to the other boy.

“I met you the other day, didn’t I?” Shou spoke, glad that he hadn’t made enemies out of everyone on the swim team.

“Yeah, I’m Miyavi.”

“Shou.” Shou blushed as he remembered just how they’d met. Miyavi had touched his butt. He let it slide though and had a few more races together before Miyavi suggested they go shower. Shou went with him and gasped as the other’s arms wound around his waist. Shou could feel the taller boy press against his back. Smirking lips settled against the side of his neck, cool metal digging into his skin.

“Shou-chan, you’re so cute…eh? What’s this?” Miyavi tried to get a closer look at the gills on Shou’s neck and Shou panicked, jerking away from Miyavi and raised his hands to his neck, covering his gills.

“Nothing!” He yelped and ran out of the showers to get his clothes and find Hiroto. That was far too close, both to betraying Hiroto and to having his ability revealed.

When Hiroto and Shou met up again, Hiroto bounced into his boyfriend’s arms, laying many kisses all over his face. Shou half-heartedly returned them, sighing softly. Hiroto frowned when he noticed that Shou was acting strange. “What’s wrong?” He asked, pulling away. Shou looked to the side, not wanting to face Hiroto and admit what had happened. Hiroto wouldn’t let that be, however, and held Shou’s chin, turning the other’s head to face him.

“I...I snuck out to swim.” Shou replied softly, guiltily. “And there was someone else there...and they almost saw my gills.” Hiroto’s eyes widened and he touched Shou’s neck, his hands brushing the small ridges.

“We’ll have to get you a choker to cover them.” Hiroto decided with a little nod.

“But then...I won’t be able to use them underwater.” Shou pointed out. He wouldn’t know how to swim without them.

“Fine, but you can only take it off when you’re swimming.” Hiroto said, giving in. He couldn’t keep Shou away from water forever.

Saga heard a knock on his dormitory door and he quickly rose to answer, poking his head out to see who it was. Tora stood on the other side, hands in his pockets as he stared at the ground. Saga smiled lightly and opened the door wider. “I didn’t think you’d come.”

“I wasn’t going to, but Hiroto was bugging me.” Tora replied, pushing past Saga and entering the room. Saga’s face fell, but he shrugged it off and decided to not worry about it too much. Tora was here and that was a start. Tora’s voice interrupted his thoughts once more. “Do you...really like me?”

“Of course.” Saga replied, giving Tora an odd look. “That’s why I’ve been so aggressive.”

“I thought that you were just teasing me.” Tora muttered, glancing up at Saga looking into his eyes to see if he was lying. Saga stared right back before smiling slightly.

“You like me too, don’t you?” He asked, stepping closer and touching Tora’s cheek. Tora fought down a blush and shrugged slightly. Saga closed the distance, pressing a kiss to Tora’s lips. This time, it wasn’t resisted. Tora gave in, moving his lips back against Saga’s and actually enjoying the touch. He might reconsider switching rooms so he could share with Saga.

Saga pushed Tora down on one of the beds before long, moving his lips over Tora’s neck and leaving a few large, claiming marks. He smirked to himself, knowing Tora would have a hard time covering them. Tora groaned, sliding his hands down to hold Saga’s hips in place.

Suddenly the door to the room opened. “Hey, they’re on your bed, Shou. I guess we’re even.” Hiroto commented, grinning. At least he knew he had succeeded in getting Tora to give in to Saga. Shou laughed softly at the expression on Tora’s face when he looked over.

“Come on, Pon. Let’s leave them to finish up.” Shou tugged on Hiroto’s hand and closed the door.

“What did you find out?” Byou stroked his fingers through Kazuki’s hair as the other boy was currently nibbling on his ear.

“Miyavi said the new kid has something weird on his neck and that he has a really nice ass.” Aoi replied, stretching out on the other bed across the room. “And something about him not breathing while they swam.”

Byou looked thoughtful for a minute, even as Kazuki pulled down the zipper on his pants. He’d have to look into this weird thing on Shou’s neck. It sounded suspicious. “Good job, Aoi. I want you to get to know Shou more intimately.”

“What about Uruha?” Aoi asked, frowning. He knew exactly what Byou wanted him to do. Seduce the enemy and get the information on why he was so freakishly good at what he did.

“What about him? Like that little slut doesn’t sleep around on you.” Byou muttered, moaning softly afterwards as Kazuki slid between his legs and started licking his cock. “Yeah, suck it, baby.” He urged, pushing on the other’s head. Aoi shook his head and got up to leave the room, rather disgusted with his roommate. The guy was basically an asshole, but they’d been friends since they were kids. He supposed he could give this plan a try.
