The Mask

After spending some crazy day with VII and Shin, it’s now time to spend it with my mom. Since my father couldn’t go back home, we were the ones to represent him in the hospital ball. Yeah, I know, it’s kinda unusual but trust me, it was a hospital ball.

When we arrived at the event, Shin and VII waved at us.

‘Hey Prince!’, Shin tapped my shoulder grinning.

‘What?’, I frowned.

‘Oh come on!’, he chuckled, ‘Don’t tell me your still upset about my pregnancy?’

I heard VII chuckled, and so as my mom.

I glared at them, ‘HA-HA-HA-! Very funny…’, I sighed.

‘You know son, even though Ryuuka is not here. You still have to enjoy yourself you know’, she held on my arms as we entered.

‘I am but…’, I looked at Shin, ‘I just don’t want pranks’.

Shin showed me a peace sign.

They’re so many people in the event. I can barely see the people I know. We had a certain seat. VIP as you can say. The waiters gave everything that we need.

‘Prince, don’t eat too much’, my mom told me.

‘Hmm?’, I munched, ‘Why?’

‘You might get fat’, she chuckled, ‘And Ryuuka might exchange you for someone else’, she laughed.

‘Geez… he’ll never do such a thing’, I stuck my tongue out, ‘Anyway, Mom?’

‘Yes?’

‘Seriously, when will dad be home?’, I asked.

‘Hmm…’, she paused, ‘I dunno’.

I sighed.

‘Do you really miss Ryuuka that badly?’

I nodded.

‘Aww… kawaii desu!’, she giggled.

Soon the dance floor was opened. Of course, out of courtesy, I danced my mom. Shin and VII followed. We all danced with my mom. Then I danced with some women too that I know. Some were classmates, some were family friends.

By the way, it’s a masquerade ball so everyone was wearing colourful masks. Then finally, it was down to the last song, I tend to just sit until this ball is done but as I was going to our seat, the spotlight stopped at where I was standing.

I stopped and turned my back. There’s was a guy, wearing all black except his silver mask. My heart throbbed fast and I felt a cold air on my nape.

As soon as Michael Buble’s “Save The Last Dance” started to play, the guy walked benevolently towards me and stopped at about a few feet away. He reached for my hand. I got nervous a little and looked at the crowd staring at us.

The guy suddenly spoke, ‘My Prince...’

I readily stared at him again and gave my hand. Soon, we’re already dancing.

I slowly removed the mask on his face and it was My Life… my Ryuuka.

He smiled at me sweetly.

And I did too.

We didn’t get the chance to talk that much while we were dancing but an exchange of gaze was obviously heart bending.

How many times this guy plans to stop my heart? I sighed as I asked myself that question over and over again.

‘Something wrong?’, he noticed my sigh.

I shrugged my head and smiled.

After dancing, he readily took me away and we left the event. I didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to anyone. Everything seems to be not important to me anymore.

As he was driving, I looked at him and stared.

He looked at me too, ‘I missed you Prince…’

‘Anata ga inakute… samishii kimochi ni narimashita’.

He nodded, ‘Watashi mo’.

Soon we arrived at his house. I’ve never been in his house since I went back to Japan from Australia.

He opened the car door for me and lean closer to my face, ‘Daisuki dayou Prince-sama…’, he whispered into my ear.

‘Watashi mo Ryuuka-sama’, I held his chin and kissed him sweetly.

He pulled me out of his car and we were kissing while getting inside his house.

‘Papa!’, I heard Cha-cha’s voice.

I stopped kissing him, ‘Ryuuka… it’s… it’s… Cha-cha…’, I tried to tell him as he continue to nibble my lips.

‘Don’t mind her’, he told me as he slid his hand inside my pants.

‘But…’, I moaned a bit.

He bit my left ear, ‘I love you…’

And before I can respond with the same words and a too, Cha-cha came rushing and hugged his daddy.

Ryuuka managed to pull back his hand out of my pants, ‘Hello there my dear Cha-cha’, he greeted her as he lift her and put her in his arms, ‘How’s my princess?’

‘Papa! Papa! I miss you!’, Cha-cha exclaimed and kissed his daddy.

Ryuuka nodded, ‘I know… I missed you too’.

Cha-cha looked at me too, ‘I miss my mama too!’, she giggled.

I smiled and pinched her cheek, ‘Aww… thank you Cha-cha’.

She smiled.

As we went in, Ryuuka put her down, ‘Okay Cha-cha, papa needs to talk to mama so you stay here. Okay? Don’t disturb us’, he told her as he held my hand.

‘Hmm…’, she mumbled, ‘Why? Can’t I join?’

Ryuuka chuckled, ‘It’s only for mama and papa. Baby should stay here and play with Aunt Kym’, he looked at Kym and winked.

‘That’s right Cha-cha’, Kym added, ‘Let’s stay here and play doll house. Let papa and mama go’, and giggled, ‘For sure they missed each other so much…’

Ryuuka nodded as he pulled me upstairs.

I smiled at Kym and she waved back to me.

As soon as we enter his room, he pushed me towards the wall and cornered me, ‘Where were we?’

I chuckled, ‘Inside my pants?’

He nodded, ‘Right…’, he slid his hand in my pants again and caressed my dick.

I trembled a little, ‘Ryuuka…’, I reached for his nape and started to peck him with sweet kisses.

After caressing my dick, he lifted me and put me to bed. He removed his upper clothing. Before crawling over me, he unzipped my pants and pulled it exposing me naked underneath.

He grinned, ‘Eros…’

I chuckled.

He chuckled too, ‘I love you’, he whispered into my right ear and started to lick my ear down to my neck, then to my shoulders, back to my neck again then down to my chest. He stopped moving downwards and played with my nipples by licking and sucking it.

I felt ticklish.

He smiled. Then he continued again, his tongue moved downwards until he reached my navel. I thought he’s gonna give me a blowjob then but he didn’t. Instead he kissed the tip of my dick to tease me and continued his licking into my thighs.

I felt that my cock became harder and harder as he continued licking me.

He noticed it and grimaced.

‘I hate you…’, I mumbled as I curled a bit with the pleasurable feeling he’s giving me.

Then he moved up and leaned close to my face and we did a long passionate French kiss.

While we were French kissing, his left hand reached for my dick and started to masturbate it while his right hand was playing with my nipples. He was multi-tasking.

My hands were wrapped around his nape. I couldn’t really do anything but to French kiss him because I was drooling over him. My legs are trembling, and I was trying to catch up proper breathing.

When I was to cum, he stopped masturbating my pet. I looked at him, ‘Why?’

‘I want you to cum later… with me’, he winked.

‘I can cum again…’, I bit my lower lip.

He smiled and nodded. He moved downwards. He licked, sucked and kissed my dick. In short, he gave me an out of hell blow job while his hands were playing with my balls too.

I moaned and moaned as he continued doing anything that can pleasure me.

Soon I cum all over him, ‘Geez… I’m sorry’, I tried to get a tissue to clean his mouth but he halted me.

‘Nah…’, he licked the milk , ‘This is okay… I missed this’, and continued licking his mouth.

I sighed, ‘Silly cat…’

‘Meow, meow’, he cat faced.

‘Aww…’, I giggled, ‘Kawaii!’, I exclaimed.

He removed all that he was wearing and exposed his beautiful naked body to me.

I removed the only clothing left to me too.

He smiled to me sweetly, ‘Turn your back my life…’, he told me in a seducing voice.

I readily nodded and turned my back.

‘Do you need some lubrication?’, he asked me.

I chuckled, ‘Nah… I think I’m too wet now’.

I heard him chuckled. This time I cannot see his face but I am sure he’s gonna fuck me. I felt a gentle caressing in my butt. I thought he’s making me feel comfortable with his cock (which I am comfortable already), but I was wrong. He thrust me using his 2 fingers, ‘Ugh… nh—‘

‘Do you like this?’, he asked.

I couldn’t really answer because I was moaning.

Then I felt three fingers entering me non-stop.

‘Ugh… ugh… aaah-, nh—‘, I am panting and moaning all at the same time.

‘Relax my life…’, he whispered into my ear, ‘I’m just fingering you…’

How can I relax if he was thrusting me non-stop? I can’t complain that time because I couldn’t move any of my muscle. It was too consumed by the pleasure… I was too consumed by him.

Soon after, I felt that he leaned closer to me while still fingering me.

‘I want to… cum inside you’, he whispered and bit my earlobes.

I nodded, ‘F… fu… fuck… fuck me…’, I managed to tell him.

‘My pleasure’, he responded. His fingers stopped thrusting me.

I looked back a little and he was petting his dick and it was rock hard. I gulped.

He slowly and gently thrust his dick inside me and hell! It was so hard that I moaned so loud, ‘You’re too tight my life… I miscalculated, I thought I can slide inside you now’, he mumbled and tried to pull his hard dick but I stopped him.

‘No… no, it’s okay’, I breathed, ‘Fuck me… fuck me…’

‘Are you sure?’, he asked, ‘I don’t want to hurt you…’, he assured me.

‘No pain no gain’, I joked.

He chuckled, ‘All right…’, and continued thrusting his dick inside me.

‘Ugh… ugh… aaah! Aaah! Nh—‘, the only syllables I can say that time. I couldn’t do anything but to moan and moan and moan.

He reached for my head and placed his two fingers in my mouth. His right arms wrapped around my body and pulled me. We were both kneeling down in the bed. He was still thrusting me crazily while my body was over his sweating body.

I couldn’t moan loud anymore because his fingers were there to block. His right hand moved downward and started to masturbate my dick again. I don’t know anymore what to say here or how to explain the pleasurable feeling he gave me. All I know is even though I waited for him for almost 2 months, everything seemed not to matter anymore in just one heck of a fucking night with him.

‘I’m cumming…’, he told me as he removed his fingers in my mouth.

‘Watashi mo Ryuuka-sama!’, I exclaimed.

He nodded, ‘Choto matte…’, he slowly pulled his dick. Then he made me sit on his swelling dick and continued to pump me up and down.

I held on to him because my body couldn’t support myself anymore.

He held on to me tight and continued fucking me until we both cum all over.

We were both breathless and both lying in the bed.

‘This would be the last…’, he whispered breathless.

‘What?’, I asked breathless.

‘I said… this would be the last’.

I stared at him.

He caressed my cheek, ‘Don’t worry… not really the sex but perhaps this would be the last time I’ll cum inside you’, and smiled.

I got confused.

‘Because… I want you to cum inside me instead’.

‘I see’, I tried to move and hugged him, ‘I love you…’, I told him in a breathless voice.

‘I love you too…’, he kissed my forehead.

I do

“Yes, I do...” I kept on whispering into his ears, “I do...”

“Shin wake up!” I heard a loud nagging voice, “Damn it, Shin! Wake up!”

I opened my eyes and saw Prince, “What the fuck...” I mumbled, “What do you want?”

He sat on the corner of my bed as I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat upright, “Nothing... I just thought I need to wake you up...”

'Huh?' I yawned and scratched onto my head, “You just thought? Tsk, my goodness, Prince.”

Prince laughed, “I knew it.”

“You knew what?”

“You’re going to be pissed,” Prince was still laughing, “Anyway...VII called and he said, he'll fetch you at 11.”

I smiled, “Really? Aw... he's so sweet,' I teased him because he was teasing me earlier.

He smirked, “If I were you, I'll stop teasing and prepare myself.”

'Hm?' I looked at the clock and, “Fuck! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?” I exclaimed seeing that it's already 10:30.

“I tried to... but you kept on saying, ‘Yes I do’,” he threw a pillow on me. “Silly.”

“It’s not my fault!” I almost jumped out of my feet and rushed to the bathroom, I didn't get the chance to close the door and so Prince followed me in. “You did this on purpose, didn't you Prince?”

“What?” he asked.

“You wanted me to be late!” I exclaimed, “You're envy!”

“Wrong... I did wake you up at 9 but you won't wake up,” he folded his arms. “It’s your fault, not mine.”

“Excuses...” I sighed and just continue bathing. Prince went out after awhile.

I was already finished in waxing my hair when Prince knocked at my door.

“Shin...” he called, “Your prince charming is here...”

“Okay, in a moment!” I responded. I looked at myself once more and, “Ugh... geez, why are you this cute, Shin?” I chuckled.

I went downstairs and greeted Laurence with a kiss, “Hello, sweetheart!”

He smiled, “Hi there.”

“I thought I would be late,” I pouted my lips.

'Why?' he asked as he wrapped his arm around my waist.

“Prince woke me up late,” I answered while looking at Prince unkindly.

“I didn't!” Prince complained, “Believe me VII, when you called at 9 AM, I went to his room to wake him up but he didn’t!”

Laurence chuckled, “Is that so?”

I sighed, “All right... all right.”

Laurence pinched my cheek, “Let's go?”

I nodded.

VII looked at Prince, “We'll leave now.”

Prince nodded, “Sure... take care you two.”

'Yeah, we're going to ENJOY OUR DATE today. It's a couple's day anyway,” I teased him for the second time.

Laurence grimaced.

“Shut your fucking mouth, Shin...” Prince uttered and he was like pushing me outside of the mansion.

“You’re just envious, bleh!” I stuck my tongue out and laughed. “Anyway, thanks!' I laughed, 'See yah!'

“Yeah, whatever,” he pouted his lips.

“Got to go,” Laurence bid his goodbye again and we left. While driving...

“Where are we going sweetheart?” I asked as I opened the heater of his car. Japan today is very cold; and the streets were covered with snow.

“Kyoto,” he uttered.

“Kyoto?” I asked, “Why there?”

“Hm...” he waited for the stop light to go red before he answered, “Coz there would be a chocolate festival there
today and I want you to enjoy it.”

“Chocolate Festival?” I sounded like a kid.

He nodded, “Yeah... they say that all the different kinds of chocolate all over the world will be exhibited and promoted there and since you like sweets, I want you to taste all the chocolates that you like.”

I chuckled, “Geez... I'll gain so much weight after today huh?”

“I think so too,” the stoplight went green.

“Hm...” I uttered.

“Yes?” he asked.

“How about you? You don't like sweets?”

He smiled, “Oh... didn't you know, I like sweets now.”

“Eh?” I looked at him amazed.

He looked at me too, “I like my sweet Shin...”

I blushed, “Laurence!” and hugged him tight.

“Easy... I'm driving,” he mumbled as he laid a kiss on my forehead.

“I’m so excited to eat those chocolates!” I said with a great enthusiasm. “You’ll eat too, okay?”

“I’ll eat you,” and he chuckled.

After an hour of driving, we were already in Kyoto...

I trembled, “Geez... it's so cold!”

Laurence held my hand and pulled me closer to him, “You don't mind, do you?”

I looked at him and then looked at the other people who were looking at us, “Nah... I don't mind” and kiss him on his lips, “They're just envy...”

He smiled. We walked down town and reached the place where the Chocolate festival was being held.

My eyes widened and my jaw almost fell, “Wow! There are soooo many choooocooooolates!”

I heard Laurence’s chuckle.

“This is soooooo amaaaaazing! Tremendously awesoooooome!” I continued my loooong pronounciation of words to put more emphasis.

“You like it?” he asked.

I nodded, “No.”

“Ugh, for real?” he sighed.

I nodded, “I looooove it, Laurence! I am so looooving it!” and I hugged him.

He pinched my cheek, “I thought you didn’t like it,” and he smiled, “I'm glad that you do.”

The place was open to public for viewing but there was a private portion for people who want to grab a bite of the millions of chocolates displayed. We picked the 2-seat table near the balcony with some white roses designed and
enjoyed cloud nine.

“Take it easy sweetheart, we have all day...” he teased me.

I chuckled, “Yeah, yeah I know...but this is so yummy!” I exclaimed and continue eating.

Laurence just ate a bar of traditional dark chocolate from Aztecs, while me... I ate too many to mention!

“Are you still okay, Shin?” he was worried.

I nodded, “Ugh...I wanna eat more,” I heaved a sigh, “but I think my tummy couldn't stand it anymore,” and
hiccupped.

He chuckled, “Then let's just bring some home...”

My eyes flickered, “Really? Yehey! I would love to!”

He smiled and signaled the waitress to bring our bill.

“I'll bring some for Prince, he needs this to lessen his sadness,” I chuckled.

“I think so too.”

A few moments later, we walked hand-in-hand...

“Where are we going next?” I asked.

“Well... if I'll follow my plan, after the chocolate festival, we have to go to the restaurant I reserved for us but
since you're still full, perhaps we can skip that first and go to the next destination.”

I nodded, “Oh! I see.” I looked at him, “I am so sorry Laurence, your sweetheart is a chocolate-monster...”

'I didn't know actually...' he grimaced.

I pouted my lips, 'I’m sorry...'

We stopped walking and he held my chin, 'Stop saying sorry...it's all right, sweetheart.” He patted my head, “I
want you to enjoy so just tell me whatever you want, okay?” and he smiled at me.

And there in the middle of the street where everyone can see us, I gave him the most passionate kiss I can ever give that day.

He bit his lips, “You always surprise me.”

“You haven't seen anything...” I mumbled.

Then we continued walking until we reached a private skating rink.

“Do you know how to skate sweetheart?” he asked me as we entered.

“No?” I was shy.

A guy approached us, “VII-ouji?”

He nodded, 'Yes, I am.'

The guy shook hands with him, “So I'll be back in three hours, sir. I hope you enjoy,” and he left the key to us and went on.

“Don't tell me you rented this rink?”

He chuckled, “Isn’t it obvious?”

“Ugh,” I looked down.

“Come on, sweetheart. We only have three hours so we should start now.”

Geez... how can I tell him that I don't know a thing about skating! “Swee...sweet...sweetheart?” I called him, stuttering.

'Yes?' he was putting on his skating gear.

“Ah...” I can’t look at him straightly, “I...I don't know how to skate...”

I felt his arms around my waist, “Then I'll teach my queen...”

I looked at him and he surprised me with a kiss.

‘Q...qu...queen?” I was still stuttering and I also felt my cheeks burning.

He chuckled and kissed me on my cheek, “You are so cute, sweetheart. Shall we?”

I nodded. He put on my skating gears and we started to skate. Obviously, I fell so many times but Laurence was always there to catch me. After falling so many times, we decided to stop skating. We sat on the center of the rink; Laurence was giving me a massage. He said that in order to avoid cramps, I should relax my muscles right after skating.

“So, you skate sweetheart?” I asked.

He nodded.

“Who taught you?”

“My fiancée.”

“Hm?”

“I mean my betrothed before, she's a skater so she taught me how to. I saw it interesting so I gave it a shot.”

I nodded, “Ah... I see.”

“Why didn't you try skating?” he asked me.

I thought for a while, “Coz no one ever taught me to?”

“You're unsure?'

“Geez... I don't like skating sweetheart.”

He chuckled.

“What?”

“You're too honest. I am sorry, I didn't know you don't like this stuff.”

“Oh, no!” I went beside him, “This is okay... I mean, I am not interested in skating but that doesn't mean I didn't
like this...”

“Really?” he stared at me.

I stared him too, “I love you...” I pushed him and I crawled over him, “I am so in love with you...” I caressed his
face, “I love you... I love you...”

He smiled, “And I love you too...” and wrapped his arms around me.

I laid over him for a while until...

“Can you wait here for a minute, sweetheart?”

I nodded, “Sure... where are you going?”

He smiled as he left. After 3 minutes or so, he returned with a guitar. He sat opposite me and started to pluck the guitar. He started to sing, and I listened to him intently...


Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will, oh...
Say you will

Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown his my way

Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will , oh...
Say you will

Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies

And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will , oh...
Marry me


After singing, he approached me and knelt down in front of me. He got something from his pocket, “Marry me, Shin Caelum...” he uttered. He got my hand and placed a small purple box.

I looked at him.

“Open it,” he said.

I nodded; I slowly opened the box and saw a ring. I was shocked; he took the ring out of the box and wore it to me.
I was speechless; I didn't know what to say.

“Will you marry me?” he asked me. “Will you be my Shin Hilfiger?

I was still speechless.

“Shin?” he touched my face, “Will you marry me?”

I smiled and what else to say but, “Yes... I will be your Shin Hilfiger.”

He hugged me tight and whispered, “Thank you...”

After his proposal, we went to a shopping mall. Well, this wasn't part of his plan he told me but he insisted that he wants to see me in a groom outfit. While on the fitting area...

“Shin, are you done?” Laurence called out for me.

“Hold on a minute...” I told him while trying to pick a good color scheme for the neck tie.

“Do you need any help?”

I went out, “Tadah...” I grinned.

I saw his eyes flickered and his lips smiled sweetly.

“Laurence?”

“Un homme beau...” he whispered.

“Pardon?” I asked.

“Saperlipopette...” he grinned.

“What are you saying?” I pouted my lips.

“Le plus beau garçon que j'ai jamais vu...”

I whined, “Sweetheart!”

“Pourquoi es-tu si belle?” he smirked as he pulled me into his arms, “Je t'aime...”

I smiled, “I love you too...” and pinched his nose.

“I thought you don't speak French?” I was still jailed around his arms.

“I don't.”

“Then how come?” he rubbed his nose in my cheek.

“I just know... ‘je t'aime’.”

He nodded.

Of course we didn't buy the outfit; he just wants me to try some. But we did buy; I mean he did buy the necktie for me. I told him I wanna rest so we went to a coffee shop to drink some tea and relax ourselves.

“Is that you VII?” a woman tapped Laurence's shoulder.

Laurence looked at her, “XXII?”

“Oh my god!” the woman exclaimed, “Brother!” and hugged him.

Laurence hugged her too, “Hey... what brings you here?”

The woman sat beside Laurence, “Duh! I should be the one asking you that. I live here remember?” and she laughed.

“Oh right, well...” he looked at me, “I'm with my boyfriend.”

The woman looked at me and perhaps she’s in her middle 20's, “So you are Shin?”

I nodded and smiled, “Yeah, nice to meet you...”

She shook hands with me, “Oh my, the rumors are right. You are cute!” and she giggled. “It's nice to finally meet
you. My name is XXII, a Chrono also under XXVII.”

“Oh, you mean in-law?” I shook hands with her too.

“In-law?” she chuckled, “Yeah, you could say that. We're adoptive brothers and sisters by master.”

“He knows that already,” Laurence clarified, “What he means is that, he's related to our leader's lover as well.”

“Oh?” she was shocked, “How?”

“We're cousins,” I answered.

She nodded, “Oh I see... wow, the world is small.”

I agreed, “So you know Prince?”

She shrugged his head, “Not yet... but soon, I'll visit Tokyo this summer.”

“That's good,” Laurence lit his cigar, “How are you doing now?”

“The same, mission there... mission here. How about you? How are the other Numbers?”

“We're the same, we're fine.”

“Oh!” she exclaimed, “Before I forgot, is it true... XXVII is going to resign?”

I looked at Laurence.

“Unfortunately...” he said.

“So, you will take over?” she smiled.

Laurence shrugged his head, “No way... the Numbers don’t want him to leave so I think he has no choice but to
stay.”

“Well... personally, I don't want him to go either but if that's what he wants then we couldn't do anything. He had sacrificed so much already, I think he deserves peace now.”

“He’s doing this for his lover, not for him.”

She nodded, “Our leader must really love him then.”

“You can say that again.”

“Mind if I don’t?” she chuckled, “He’s willing to give up who he is for this person called as Prince?” she smirked,
“How amazing Prince is, must have been a good catch.”

“XXVII can give up anything, even his own life for that person.”

I just listened to them as they talk about in-law's resignation to the Numbers.

“Oh shit!” she squeaked, “I'm gonna be late for university. I have to go,” she stood up. “It’s really nice to meet you, Shin. Let's hang out again soon, okay?”

“Yeah sure, I would love to,” I told her.

“Okay!” she kissed my cheek and Laurence's as well, “Bye, have a good day you two,” and she left.

“She's nice,” I told him.

“She was an ex-girlfriend of your in-law.”

“Huh?” I wondered.

“That's why when she learned that XXVII is having a serious relationship, she moved out.”

I nodded, “Ah... I see, wow, I wouldn't be anymore surprise if all the Numbers became in-law's girl.”

“Well...” he paused, “Not all...”

“Hm... who didn't?” I finished my tea.

“Only IX,” he finished his cigar too, “Let's?”

I nodded and we headed to our next destination. We went to a carnival. In there, we did a lot of things but I’m too
lazy now to elaborate each and every part so I’ll just put some sugar-on-top scenes.

“Let’s ride the roller coaster sweetheart!” I told him.

His face became weary, “Ugh… sure, ride the roller coaster, sweetheart.”

I held on to his hand, “Let’s ride it together…” I winked.

He shrugged his head, “I cannot…”

I stared at him.

“I’m not good at rides, sorry…”

Oh right, I remember! He doesn’t want this kind of adventure, “So sorry! I forgot, hmm… oh I know what to ride!” I grinned.

He looked at me.

“Let’s just ride the merry-go-around…” I smiled at him.

He smiled back, “Okay, I think I would survive that.”

I laughed. We did ride the horses in the merry-go-around and luckily, he did survive. But after the round and round of the horse, his face turned flushed.

We sat in a nearby bench, “Are you okay, sweetheart?” I comforted him.

He nodded, “Yeah… I just don’t like spinning and spinning over and over again.”

I sighed, “This is my fault…”

He looked at me.

“If I didn’t think of that stupid merry-go-around, you wouldn’t be like this.”

He caressed his face, “I love you Shin…”

“I lo—” he didn’t let me finish by pressing his lips onto mine.

Since I don’t want him to feel any dizziness anymore, we just went to the animal show. We watched different
animals as they performed live. Then we played some games like target shooting, fish catching and some other
carnival games.

After couple of hours, we decided to call it a day. We went to fancy restaurant to eat dinner and then we headed back to Tokyo. We arrived before 11 in the evening. I spent the night in their house.

Laurence gave me some clean clothes.

“Thank you…” I told him.

“You’re welcome,” he lit his cigar, “Are you sleepy now?”

I grinned, “No…”

His face wondered, “Shin?”

I slowly and sensually remove all my clothes, I only let my boxers to stay and then I sat on his lap.

“This day wouldn’t be complete without…” I paused and started to unbutton his polo, “Love…”

He grinned, “Silly…” and let me undress him.

I pushed him on his bed and I crawled over him, “Top or bottom?”

He grimaced, “Top…”

I smiled, “Right…”

And whatever happened next, you know already. I was fondling his hair when I asked him how much he loves me.

“Unconditional,” he whispered into my ears.

“Unconditional?” I asked, wanting him to repeat it for me.

“Unconditional,” he repeated.

“Why do you love me Laurence?” I asked.

“Before I answer that, let me tell you a story…” he sat upright as I rested my head on his chest.

“Okay… I’m listening.’


One day a girl asked: “Why do you like me..? Why do you love me..?”

HE answered: I can’t tell the reason... but I really like you…

SHE: You can’t even tell me the reason… how can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?

HE: I really don’t know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.

SHE: Proof? No I want you to tell me the reason, my friends’ boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but you can’t!

HE: Hmm… I love you because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet, because you are caring, because you
love, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movement.

The girl felt very satisfied with his answer. Unfortunately, a few days later, the gal met with an accident and
became comma.

HE then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:

Darling,

Because of your sweet voice that I love you… now can you talk? no…

Therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your care and concern that I like you… now that you cannot show them.

Therefore I cannot love you.

Because of your smile, because of your every movement that I love you… now can you smile? now can you move?
No…

Therefore I cannot love you…

If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore.


I sat upright too and looked at him, “Then?”

“But love Shin doesn’t need any reason. Sometimes the best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be
seen, cannot be touched, but can be felt in the heart… Love doesn’t need a reason. It’s something you can feel
burning inside your heart and waiting to explode,” he pulled me gently and hugged me tight, “I love you… period.”

I smiled, “I love you too… period,” and kissed him again.

Make Love with Me

Last night, Ryuuka was already discharged from the hospital. I prepared everything that he needs. I cleaned his loft, finish his laundry, stock up groceries and even bought him the latest edition of WII. Since VII and Shin offered to drive Ryuuka home, I chose to just wait for him in his loft. I put my clothes on; the pair of jeans that Ryuuka like and a brown long-sleeve turtle neck. I sprayed on my perfume and put some wax on my hair too. Soon, the door opened and I saw the god-like figure that I've been waiting for. He looked at me smiling and said, 'I'm home...'

I almost jumped out of my feet, 'Hey!' I said as I pulled him and gave him a long passionate kiss.

He was shocked, 'Aren't you excited...'

I just smiled at him sweetly, ‘Isn’t it obvious, My Life?’

'Yes, you’re obvious that you’re hungry,” he chuckled.

'I hunger for your touch...'

He laughed, 'Could you wait a little longer?'

'You're such a teaser...' I pouted my lips.

He walked as he tapped my shoulder, 'We'll go all the way later... don't worry', and he winked.

I followed him. He went to the kitchen and got a beer.

'Wow, my fridge is full,' he looked at me.

'I stocked up,' I made my voice sound pissed.

He grimaced, 'Oh... I see', he walked and sit on his motor-sofa, 'And my loft is pretty clean too. It's so good to be home.'

'I cleaned it.'

'Not the cleaning lady?' he asked.

I glared at him.

'Oh right... easy.' he chuckled. He stood up and removed his shirt, 'Do you really want me that badly?' he was half-naked and almost laughing.

I turned my back.

I felt that he started to walk towards me.

'You promised...' I uttered.

'So what do you want us to do my prince?' he placed his hands above my shoulders and started to massage me.

'Well... I expect the man that I love to slowly and sensually take off his clothes exposing his perfect body and beautiful dick'

'Oh...' he whispered as he started to slid his left hand inside my pants, 'Then?'

'Then...', I continued, 'He'll rim my ass to get me crazy and ram his cock and fuck me so hard that I'll pass out'.

His hands went up and played on my nipples, 'On bed...' he uttered.

'Hmm?' I asked as I reached for his dick.

'You suppose to add on bed in the end of your expectation...' he explained.

'I was thinking...' I kissed him, 'on the floor...' I told him.

'Okay....' he wrapped his arms around my waist and whispered softly in my ears, 'I'm gonna give you the best rim job,' he bit my right ear, 'and fuck your brains out...'

I turned around and faced him, 'Please...', he lifted me and brought me to his bed as we started to make out. He removed my turtle neck and slowly unzipped my jeans, 'Damn... you're so sexy.'

I also unzipped his pants. Soon, we're both naked.

He started to pleasure me by kissing me in my lips down to my neck then to my chest, he licked and sucked my nipples then he continued to my tummy until he reached my dick. I heard him laughing softly, I looked at him and asked him why was he laughing.

'Nothing My Life, I just find your body amazing,' he uttered.

'And why is that?' I sit a bit upright and stared at him.

He looked at me, 'Coz even though I've touched you a thousand times now, your body still reacts like a virgin.’

'Huh?'

He went up and our face was just a breath away, 'Your body is so sensitive, it reacts to every touch I make'.

'Geez... stop explaining now and fuck me, Ryuuka,' I uttered.

He grinned, 'Your wish is my command.'

Then whatever happened next is just between of us. But for sure, you already have a clue what happened.

The next morning, I woke up with the strum of guitar. I covered myself with the blanket and get out of bed. I followed where the sound comes from, I saw Ryuuka singing. Beside him was a bouquet of red roses and a big photo-frame with a picture of us. I recognized the photo, it was taken last New Year's eve. I walked towards him, 'Advance Happy Valentines My Life...', he greeted me.

I was speechless.

'You'll be going back to Japan tomorrow and I don't know if I could make it in Valentines' day so I thought of having an advance celebration.’

I smiled and hugged him tight, 'I love you Ryuuka...'

He hugged me back, 'I love you too...'

I didn't see a while ago but there was also a prepared breakfast, 'You cooked that for me?'

He nodded, 'I'm not sure of the taste but don't worry it's edible,' he laughed.

I chuckled, 'Everything about you is delicious.'

He pouted his lips, 'Yeah but that food is not me so just take precaution.'

I nodded.

'You go right ahead and eat...' he told me.

'How about you?'

'I want to serenade you while you're eating.'

I agreed and stared to eat the food he prepared. It wasn't that bad at all, or maybe coz I wasn't really paying attention to the taste. I was so caught by him and his voice.

After singing, he joined me but he didn't eat. He said that he just want milk. He kept on staring at me while I was eating.

I got conscious, 'Is there something in my face?'

'Nope, it's perfect...' he uttered while still staring at me.

I continued eating but this time slowly.

'You're like a dream come true Prince.'

'Huh?'

'You're beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, hot, perfect... I am so lucky to have you.'

I smiled, 'Sweet talker...' I stood up, walked towards him and I sat on his lap.

'It's the truth...' he whispered.

I nodded, 'Okay...'

'Promise me, when you get back to Japan... don't look at anyone, all right?'

I smiled, 'Silly...'

'I'm serious, you can make anyone fall in love with you easily, Prince'.

I didn't speak but assured him with a hot passionate kiss.

'You and I, just the two of us forever...'

There's no reason for me to leave you

'Come on let's go now...', I told Shin and VII.

'What? It's just 9:30 and we're suppose to meet Ryuuka at 10', Shin answered.

'But I don't want us to be late!', I exclaimed.

'Late? Midnight Shift is just a few blocks away from here. We won't be late, right sweetheart?'

VII nodded.

I sighed, 'But still...', and pouted my lips.

VII chuckled, 'Someone's excited'.

Shin smiled, 'Hmm...'

'I'm not excited... just wanna go early', I complained.

Shin smiled again, 'You don't expect us to believe that, right?'

'I talked to XXVII last night and he seems to be in good mood. So, something's up between you two?', VII asked me.

'You got laid!', Shin shouted.

'NO! I didn't', I exclaimed.

'EH???', Shin continued being sarcastic.

'Yes, we did sleep together but...'

'So you got laid!', Shin teased.

'No! I told you no, we just literally sleep together'.

Shin sighed, 'Oh...'

'Sorry to disappoint you', I smirked.

'But still you two are getting okay now?', VII asked.

I shrugged my shoulders, 'He never said I love you back to me...'

Then as I was expecting, we were late. We arrived 15 minutes after ten.

'I told you we'll be late!'

'Sorry... sorry, I miscalculated. But come on, let's get over it and look for Ryuuka', Shin told me as we started to look for him.

We saw him in the bar with his friends. We approached him.

'Hey! I thought you guys wouldn't come over', Ryuuka spoke, 'Anyway, guys... these are my friends from Japan; this is VII, my brother, and this is Shin, his fiancé...'

'Hello there, we're XXVII's friends too', the middle-twenty guy spoke, 'I'm JT, and this is my boyfriend Rage'.

'Hey', the Rage guy uttered.

'And I'm Mikey, nice to meet you all', he looked at me, 'How about him, who's he XXVII?'

Ryuuka held my left hand and kissed it, 'This is Prince...', he looked at me, 'My boyfriend... my lover... my partner... or should just say my life...'

'Oh we finally met you', JT spoke, 'You know ever since we knew XXVII, you're the only one he's been talking about'.

'Actually...', Rage added, 'We kinda know you now... XXVII never stop telling things about you'.

'Don't embarrass me', Ryuuka spoke as he winked at me.

I wasn't saying anything, and I'm pretty sure you guys know why. What the fuck is going on?

'Are you okay?', Ryuuka asked me.

'Prince?', Shin did too.

'I'm good, I just don't know what to say', I uttered.

Drinks came over and we started to drink.

'Do you give XXVII consent?', Mikey asked me.

'What?', I answered.

'I mean open-relationship is totally fine for you?', he cleared.

'Ugh... yeah I think so?', I didn't know what he's saying.

'Wow, you're a great boyfriend indeed. Letting Ryuuka fuck anyone he wants'.

'Ugh... yeah?', I drunk into my beer.

Shin and VII went to the dancefloor. Actually, Shin just forced VII. JT and Rage also danced together, while Mikey hit on someone over the backroom. Ryuuka and I were left alone.

'Ryuuka?', I called his attention.

'Yes?', he said as he sipped on his beer.

'What was that really?'

'What?'

'What was that really?', I repeated.

'No... I got you, but what do you mean?'

'Ugh... why did you introduced me as your boyfriend?'

'Aren't you?', his eyes flickered, and so am I.

'So does this mean... we're...', I can't finish what I want to say.

'No...', he shrugged his head, 'Hmm... let's go outside? It's pretty loud here, I wouldn't be able to explain things clearly to you'.

I nodded and followed him. We went to a coffee shop nearby.

'Is that all that you want?', he asked me.

I nodded.

'Okay... that's all miss', he told the waitress.

'I'll be back in a few minutes', the waitress told him as she left.

'So...', he started, 'Let's clear things first, I told them that you're still my boyfriend, or rather you're my boyfriend. I never told them what happened... anyway, as I was saying, I told them that because I want us to be together again...', he sipped on his coffee, 'Though, don't think that we'll still be the same couple as we once before. I mean I wouldn't be a tail who always follows his master, you know? Or we're like some married couple coz we're not. We're not like those fucking straight people; we're not like your parents. We're queers, and we get together because we want to not because there’s a lock in our doors'.

I nodded, 'Okay, I see... I want something too', I gulped, 'You can fuck whoever you want as long as it's not twice. No names or numbers exchange... and no matter what you're doing or wherever you are... you must come home by 2'.

'Two?', he complained.

'I agreed to all you want. Fair enough if you'll agree to what I want', I winked and continued, 'And you never kiss anyone in the lips but me'.

'Does French kissing can be excluded?'

I shrugged my head, 'That's only for me too...', and smiled.

He stood up and kissed me passionately. People in the coffee shop was staring at us but Ryuuka didn't mind and so am I.

After drinking our coffee, we walk home to his loft. Well he told me to come home with him and again sleep with him. But as we were walking, he suddenly stopped and started to breathe so heavily.

I approached him and tapped his back, 'Ryuuka? What's going on?'

But he didn't answer.

That time, I don't know what to do. I looked around but there's no one that I can seek help from. Then he held my hand and whispered, 'Don't worry I'll be fine'.

I felt that he's burning, 'You're burning!', I exclaimed.

He shrugged his head, 'This will just last for a few minutes tops'. I tried to call VII and Shin to help us but he halted me, 'I just want you', he spoke softly.

And there we were, standing in the street. I was just staring at him, there's nothing I can do but just to look at him and make sure he doesn't fall or break. After the longest ten minutes of my life with Ryuuka, he suddenly can walk straight again. He smiled at me to make me sure that he's okay now.

'Sorry about that', he held my hand as he pull me to walk, 'It happens a lot lately without my control'.

'It's okay', I uttered, 'Is that...'

He nodded, 'Yup. I'll be undergoing surgery next year... with your father'.

I was surprised, I thought father didn't know.

'He knows everything Prince. I just made him swear not tell anyone especially you'.

I pouted my lips, 'I'm gonna get him for this'.

He smiled, 'Let's get going... I'm getting tired'.

We arrived at his loft; he went to the sofa and sat. He also told me to sit beside him and so I did. We just sat there for I think a two hours. We didn't talk, we just listen to each other's heartbeat and breathing. Ryuuka's breathing was so heavy that I want to do anything to make things easier for him but I don't have any clue of what shall I do.

'What are you thinking?', he suddenly spoke.

'Ugh... nothing, I'm just thinking nothing', I told him.

He nodded, 'I see... Prince?'

'Yes?'

'Are you sure... do you really still wanna be with me? After seeing me a while ago'

'I was terrified at first but on the way, it made me more sure to myself so...', I looked at him, 'Yes... I will. Definitely'.

He closed his eyes and laid his head unto my lap, 'Tell me you love me...'

'I love you Ryuuka...'

He smiled.

'Why?', I uttered.

He opened his eyes, 'Huh?'

'Why did you think that I'll leave you if I knew about your sickness?', I fondled his hair.

He sighed.

I waited for him to answer but it seems he wouldn't spill anything and so I continued, 'Is it because you're no longer perfect? You're no longer strong? No longer... what?'

He sat up straight and looked down.

'Ryuuka?'

'Yes', he looked at me, 'Coz I'm no longer perfect... I'm weak and in just few months, who knows... I might be practically dead. Just lying down in the bed all the time'.

'So what? That isn't enough reason for me to leave you'.

'It is enough reason Prince, and besides... I can no longer give you...'

I didn't speak to let him continue.

'Hmm... give you... ple... ugh, pleasure'.

I was surprised, 'Huh?'

'I cannot make love with you anymore...'

'That's hard to believe. Didn't you fuck everything that moves here?'

'Exactly the point... I just fuck here, not make love. You do know the difference, right?'

I nodded.

'I'm sorry...', he sighed.

I grinned.

He looked at me confused.

'I'm versatile; I can be either top or bottom'.

He chuckled. At last for the first time, I saw him happy again.

'Why oh why didn't I think of that?', he continued chuckling.

I smiled and kissed him. I started the steps for making love but he stopped me. I looked at him wondering.

'Please... not now Prince', he fondled my hair, 'I can't hardly breathe'.

I nodded, 'Okay...', and smiled.

‘I love you…’

‘I love you too, Ryuuka...’
