Part 2
“You brought someone to your apartment? And you left him there? You? And on top of that… a complete stranger? Sho, are you kidding me?” Jun was finding hard to believe it. Was Sho this drink the previous night that he ended up with a stranger on his bed? “You…” he looked at the other frowning. “…want to tell me that you had a one-night stand? And if you had a one-night stand, why is this person still in your apartment and you’re gone? It’s you who told me that you have no idea who he is! Sho, are you out of your mind?”
Sho rubbed his forehead, knowing he couldn’t escape from his friend. “No… not like this. He…” his voice faded out as he tried to find the best way to continue. “As I was driving home, at one of the lights near the park, I saw some people running away as fast as possible. I was about to leave when I heard moans of pain. Someone was beaten. I don’t know why but I pulled by at the side of the road and went to see what was going on. I came across a small-figured guy, around 20 years old, if I judge correctly, in a very bad state. I… I couldn’t leave him there, though… not when he fell unconscious, covered as he was with bruises. I don’t know why but at that moment, you flashed in my mind… back at school when you appeared out of nowhere and helped me. I don’t know why but I felt I had to do the same. At least, I couldn’t get up and drive away knowing that he would be there in the middle of nowhere being like this.”
“So, you brought him to your apartment?”
“My first thought was to bring him to the hospital but he didn’t want to go the hospital. He had panicked just before he lost his senses. Later, I understood that it could lead to trouble.”
Jun raised an eyebrow. “And why that?”
“As it was proven later, he had no papers with him. So…”
“So, it would raise questions.” Jun finished Sho’s sentence for him.
“Yes.” Sho replied defeated with his head hanging low. “Look, Jun, I’m not stupid. I know that I may have put myself in trouble. Most probably, the ones who beat him up are members of a gang… They looked like it. I believe he is in trouble. I know all that… but…” he looked up at his friend. “I just couldn’t leave him.”
Jun sighed. “I don’t say that you did the wrong thing but… you should have woken him up first thing this morning and-”
“The doctor that came last night gave him a strong injection for pain relief along with a small dose of antibiotics, so that any infections would be prevented. He was sleeping and he should be sleeping the whole day, today. Besides, he can’t walk. His ankle is badly swollen and strained. The doctor was clear that he shouldn’t put weight on his foot like that.”
“You should be careful, Sho.” Jun whispered as he came closer to the other and placed a hand on his shoulder. “You said that you know nothing about him. There may be people looking for him or, even worse, he may work for people no one would ever wish to come across…”
“I know...” Sho sighed before he continued turning his gaze to his friend. “…which is why I was careful with my moves but I didn’t notice anything. Last night, I only pulled by when I was sure the ones who beat him were out of sight and there was no one following us. The streets were empty. I would have taken notice. And this morning, nothing alarming, as well.”
Jun was still thoughtful. “I really hope so, Sho.”
“You should go to your office, now, Jun. It’s already time to start working! Today, it’s the meeting. Remember?”
“Yes, ok!” Jun walked towards the door before slowing down and turning to the other. “See you at lunch?” he asked with a smile, for the first time that morning.
Sho smiled back at him. “Of course. Good luck!”
“Thank you! To you, too, with those reports!”
Sho sighed somehow relieved once the door was closed. He had decided to speak to Jun during lunch break but then, how could he pass unnoticed? It was Matsumoto Jun the one in question; able to see the slightest discomfort in him. His friend, many times, would be critical… but this time, he didn’t judge him. He knew it was impulsive to do what he did and certainly dangerous, but despite all that, Sho felt good with his conscience. He was doing the right thing and Jun had accepted that.
Half-an-hour had passed by and his mind had been stuck to the small-figured guy who was lying down on the bed of his guest-room. He hurried to the kitchen of his floor to make a large cup of coffee and returned straight back to his office. He couldn’t let another minute pass with him thinking about that man. At least, not when he had so much work to do.
He took a large sip of coffee before he opened his excel and access programs on his pc. “C’mon, Sho, let’s focus on work!”
***
It was almost eight o’clock in the evening when Sho arrived at home. Under other circumstances, he’d call himself even lucky that he had managed to arrive, at this hour, but that night was different. There was someone else in there, and Sho couldn’t be sure how this someone was. What if he had woken up and needed him? He sighed deeply as he pressed the button of his floor in the elevator.
Jun hadn’t brought up the matter of the stranger during lunchbreak, probably sensing Sho’s discomfort, and the latter couldn’t have been more grateful for that. In all honesty, he didn’t have any answers.
His heart had started beating a little faster as he opened the door. His apartment was pitch dark. He looked around and noticed nothing different. Without taking any of his clothes off, he went to see if the other was still there. The door of the guest room was open, exactly like Sho had left it in the morning before he left. The figure on the bed was also still there, now, turned on one side. Sho came closer to check up on him. He did look better, having gained back some of his color. A smile lit up Sho’s face.
“I guess I first have to disinfect the wounds like the doctor said.” Sho muttered to himself, as his eyes fell on the other’s cuts and bruises.
Fifteen minutes later, after a quick shower, he was back in the guest-room. He sat at the side of the bed and pushed the covers a little lower to reveal the slim torso. The bruises were still there, but this time, there was no grimace on the other’s face as he brushed them with the clean towel and the anti-infective solution, proof that they weren’t hurting as much as the previous night and slowly healing. Sho, then, looked at the ankle. He placed some new ice for several minutes before he put it back under the covers.
The man wasn’t hot like during the previous night when he had put a wet cloth on the stranger’s forehead but Sho thought it would be good to wet his face. At least, it would be refreshing and so did he. Sho didn’t know, if he expected anything but with all certainty, what he couldn’t have expected was to feel the other’s hand on top of his, once he had placed a cool towel on top of his forehead; as if the young man was forbidding him to take it away. It was obvious that it was a reflex, as the other was still deeply asleep. But in the same time, it felt real. The touch was soft but also kind of desperate…? Sho thought so. Was the other in need of human touch? Care? Sho’s lips curved into a sad smile. Unconsciously, he brought his free hand on top of the man’s one. It was small, almost like a child’s. Sho wasn’t someone who was at ease when being close to people, at least, to those who didn’t know well. Yet, sitting like this, holding this man’s hand felt almost… natural.
Without realizing it, he brought the free hand to the bleached hair that had fallen on the forehead and eyes and secured it behind the left ear. Like this, he could look at the man’s face clearly. Involuntarily, Sho’s eyes followed every corner, every curve. It was the first time he was looking at the other from this close. Beautiful… was the word that Sho could use to describe him. Strange as it was, Sho could easily spend hours just looking at him. His hand came to trace a small mark on the right cheek, close to the jawline, before it moved up to the hair. It felt rather rough against the skin of his palm as he brushed it with his hand feather-like, Sho’s eyes following the movement of his hands.
“You need to feel that someone’s here for you, don’t you?” Sho whispered under his breath and felt his heart beating a little faster as he felt the other relaxing completely under these small ministrations of his. As if his voice and touch were soothing to him. That small gesture though showed to Sho that his instinct had been right. The man, whoever he was, wasn’t a bad guy. He may be afraid, feel lonely… be in need of help but he wasn’t a bad guy.
Sho stayed with him for another thirty minutes before he left him alone to sleep. Once in the living room, he picked up the phone to call the doctor. The other hadn’t shown any signs of waking up yet and he needed to be sure.
“Yes, Matsuyama-sensei? It’s Sakurai Sho. Yes, everything’s fine. It’s just that he still hasn’t woken up. Should I wait or try to wake him up at some point?” Sho’s eyes were staring at the guest-room as he spoke with the doctor. “Ah… Is that so?! So, I have to wait a little more. Yes. Yes. I understood. Thank you, Matsuyama-sensei and excuse me, once again, for bothering you this late. Have a good night, doctor. Thank you, bye.”
I guess I have to wait a little longer…
After his usual dinner of instant ramen, Sho opened his pc and started working. He usually tried not to work at home, as well, but this time, he needed to stay awake. The 24 hours would end in the early morning hours. In case the man did not wake up alone till then, Sho had to try to do it himself for him.
He was finishing his second coffee when he realized it was already 1 am. “I guess I’ll need a third one…” he whispered to himself while rubbing his forehead to ease the small headache that seemed to linger on him. It had been a hectic week and with everything, Sho had lost even more hours of sleep. “At least, this time, I don’t have to wake up too early!” It was Saturday so there was no need for him to wake up at 6 am in the morning like in the working days.
With a low groan he got up and headed to the kitchen. He still didn’t know what he’d do when the other woke up. Should he go with the other man’s pace? Should he demand some answers? Should he talk to him casually? Or should he not talk to him at all? And if he did so and the other wanted to leave as soon as he had gained back his senses? Should he allow him or make him stay until the injury at his leg was better healed?
I should let him go… No one would wish to stay in a complete stranger’s apartment, right?
For some reason, though, this last option, which undoubtedly was the most probable one, made Sho frown. He had many questions and as the time passed by, they were increasing even more. It was obvious that the other needed help… he had sought for his touch… for contact… That simple touch of his hand had triggered Sho, making him want to offer this help the other needed even more. His eyes remained locked on his hand that was cupped by the stranger’s small one earlier. A deep sigh left the back of his throat. “Am I overthinking about it?” he whispered to himself, deep inside knowing that he actually did.
Wasn’t it weird? To have passed so many hours thinking about someone he didn’t know? It is… Sho thought but also couldn’t help doing differently. That man, even at that state, had somehow managed to lower some of Sho’s defensive walls. Mechanically, he took his refilled-with-coffee cup and went back to the pc in the living room.
He managed to work for around one hour when the numbers on his pc screen seemed to move around as if they were dancing. His coffee was left almost untouched on the table next to the pc. Sho let his head lean against the head of the sofa behind him, his eyes turning heavy. He didn’t know what time it was but he knew, despite his will, he couldn’t remain awake any longer. The last thing, he did, still not completely asleep, was to close his computer and lie down on the sofa. At least, that way, if the other woke up on his own, he’d hear him.
At some point, Sho frowned in his sleep. He still was not fully awake but he could tell he was feeling hot. It was weird. He didn’t feel as if he was thirsty. He was feeling hot but… in a different way. Why was he feeling like this?! It was only after a couple of minutes, when he was a bit more awake, that he realized he didn’t only feel hot but could also feel something… heavy… on him… giving him sensations that could only be described as…
He opened his eyes horrified only to be met by the smirking face of the stranger, that was supposed to be sleeping in the guest-room, a few centimeters above his. Sho was perplexed. Was this happening for real or was it his imagination? He frowned. His mind was desperately trying to find the answer… any answer but it seemed impossible. At some point, feeling a little more awake, he managed to sit up a little bit. He was about to ask the unknown man what was going on when a small finger was placed on top of his lips hushing him before he even had the chance to let a single sound out. Sho’s eyes searched to find something into the other’s that were staring back at him. He couldn’t put into words what they were reflecting… as if the other was wearing a mask.
Sho was still trying to comprehend what was happening when he saw the young man move his body lower on him, his thin hands, now, being, on Sho’s sweatpants. They moved a little lower brushing Sho’s crotch over the fabric. The touch was feather-like but it still worked. Sho frowned, his eyes bulging. He tried to escape once again but the weight of the other’s body was blocking him. With disbelief, he saw the other lowering the sweatpants in one go along with his briefs, leaving him completely exposed. The stranger’s face was right above Sho’s member which under the feather-like ministrations had been slowly awakened. Sho, still a little lost in a state between being asleep and awake, his heart beating faster than ever. He looked at the other with a frown. This was surreal. It couldn’t be happening, right?
The last thing Sho managed to see was the small-figured man opening his mouth, the smirk never leaving his face, as he lowered his head. Their eyes met for only a second. From the way, Sho felt the man’s gaze on him, it was as if the other was challenging him. Unexpectedly, there was a flick on the tip of his, now, erected member caused by something hot and slick. Sho couldn’t handle it any longer. His head felt backwards, the friction and hotness around his cock in combination with hard sucks and licks, leaving him no power to push the other away or, at least, room to think a bit clearly. His eyes rolled back and a moan escaped from the back of his throat. His hands gripped the sofa as his member was engulfed from the base, its tip hitting the back of the man’s throat in a fast rhythm. He had no control; he was in the other’s mercy. The sensations were overwhelming. But despite being lost in the pleasure, his body was so unexpectedly receiving, he was still feeling awful. He didn’t want this. He felt used. The other had no right to touch him… not like this… His mind was a mess; the contradictive emotions being overwhelming in him. He could feel his body trembling from the sensations and his eyes being filled with tears; tears of anger, of desperation, of confusion. It was too much, his brain clouded with numerous things but even like that Sho was still trying to figure out what exactly was happening. And above all… why?!
TO BE CONTINUED…
A.N. Sooo minna here’s the second part! ^_^ There seems to be a connection between Sho and Nino. Even with Nino being unconscious, there was a small interaction between them. That small gesture of Nino touching Sho’s hand probably shows a vulnerable side of his?! What matters is that Sho really cares for him! :) We’ll see how things will evolve between them from now on!
I really hope you enjoyed it and as always, your comments, even the small ones, are <333!!!
See you soon,
Andy
