“Waya, have you ever kissed a girl? I don’t mean your mother. I mean someone you really like.” Hikaru brushed blonde bangs out of his eyes.. “I never have. Some guys were talking at school and I wondered if they were making it up.”

“Making what up?”

“Do kisses really taste like spun sugar?”

“I don’t think so. Not unless the person you kissing just ate it.” Waya grinned at Hikaru. “I once kissed a girl the kiss tasted like teriyaki chicken. She’d just eaten lunch before she surprised me by kissing me. She was the only girl I ever kissed.”

“Teriyaki? Weird. I wonder what you tasted like to her. Do both parties taste the same thing or just what your partner ate last?” Hikaru said. “I haven’t eaten anything in hours. I wonder if someone could tell what I had for breakfast from a kiss.”

“Well if you want to we could try. I guess it would be good practice. I’d hate to look stupid when I finally kiss someone I like” Waya suggested casually.

“Try? You mean practice kissing?” Hikaru’s eyes widened in surprise. “But we’re both guys. Doesn’t a kiss have to be between a guy and a girl? Wouldn’t it be too odd.”

“Anybody can kiss. You just can’t get married if it’s not a guy-girl couple. My uncle’s current lover is a guy he works with. I saw them kissing last week.” Waya shrugged. “Besides I didn’t say we should date. Just practice a little.

“I guess we could if you think it’s okay.” Hikaru stepped closer to Waya. “Does this count as my first kiss?”

Slowly Waya leaned toward Hikaru and whispered “We can figure that out later.”

The two boys met lip to lip. Hikaru yelped as they bumped noses. They both pulled back and rubbed the sore spot.

“Let’s try that again but this time tilt your head just slightly to the right.” Waya reached for Hikaru again.

This time there were no mishaps. Hikaru’s eyes flew open when he felt Waya’s tongue slip past his lips. They drifted closed as he started to feel.

What is this taste? I can’t place it. I have so many words for a kiss. Hot, wet, soft, but no name for taste. Hikaru relaxed more and tried to ignore feelings and analyze the kiss.

Sai what flavor is this? What is the taste of a kiss?

~”Waya, that’s the flavor. Each person has their own essence wrapped up in the kiss.”~

Waya ran his fingertips down the side of the younger boy’s neck. Hikaru shivered and gasped. Waya took the opportunity to plunge deeper. Hikaru moaned and unconsciously moved closer.

~Something tells me he may have only kissed one girl, but he’s been doing a lot of practicing. He knows all the right moves.~

Finally Waya ended the kiss with a gentle tug on Hikaru’s bottom lip. Hikaru hissed as he felt the teeth roll off.

“So what does a kiss taste like?” Waya said.

“It’s not a flavor. It’s a feeling. This kiss tasted like Waya. Hot, relentless, and giving. Hikaru sighed.

“Shindo tastes of energy and sweetness, but also something special. For some reason you feel like secrets. I never realized a kiss could taste or feel like secrets.”

Did Waya taste Sai in my kiss? Sai do you think that’s possible?

~”I don’t think so. But I could be wrong. Waya’s a lot more experienced than he led you to believe.~ Sai flipped open his fan. ~”He played your body like a professional musician. If that was only his second kiss I died a virgin.”~

~“Don’t even say it. I know you want to ask and the answer is no. I wasn’t a virgin.”~

“Waya how many people have you really kissed? If that was only your second kiss you must have learned a lot from the first.”

“I said I had only kissed one girl.” Waya winked. “You never asked about guys.”

~”Dangerous. Definitely dangerous. Don’t let him turn your head Hikaru.”~

“So do you think I count as your first kiss?” Waya cocked his head and smiled.

I’m sorry to anyone who doesn’t like Waya being a mack, but I couldn’t resist. I hope you like it enough to keep reading.

Part 2

“Waya, do you still want to see ‘Winter Kill’ that new action movie?” Hikaru asked as the two headed into the practice room.

“Yeah. Why?”

“ My mom got tickets from her job. A client handed them out. I was going to go on Sunday if you wanted to come with me.”

“Shindo, are you asking me out?” Waya smiled knowingly.

“No. If you don’t want to go no strings attached I’ll ask someone else. Maybe Ochi will want to go.”

They entered the empty room. Waya backed Shindo up against the wall and blew into his ear. “Do you really want to go with Ochi. You know you’d have more fun with me. I know if you want to be really bored you could always ask Touya to go with you.”

“Maybe I will.” Hikaru said as he ducked under Waya’s arm. “In fact that sounds like a great idea.”

~”I’m so proud. Don’t let him push you into anything. Stand your ground. Just because he’s a great kisser doesn’t mean he’d be a good boyfriend.”~

Sai I’m not looking for a boyfriend good or otherwise. Good Touya’s here. I think I’ll go take Waya’s advice.

“Touya. I now it’s sudden but I have an extra ticket to see ‘Winter Kill”. Do you want to go?” Hikaru smiled at the surprised boy. “I saw you reading an action book last week. I thought you might enjoy it. Please don’t make me go by myself.”

“Why are you asking me usually you ask Waya for things like this?”

“Waya isn’t really interested in action movies. I figure since we’ve been thrown together so much we should get to know each other better. I’ve always admired you. I’d really like to become friends.” Hikaru cast pleading eyes on Touya.

“Are you sure it’s okay? I wouldn’t want to impose.” Touya looked at a glaring Waya and he straightened up and nodded firmly. “ I’d love to go. I’ve really been looking forward to that movie.”

“Really! Great. I’ll meet you at the main street theater at 1 pm tomorrow don’t be late.” Hikaru smiled. “I thought you’d turn me down. I’m glad you didn’t. Looks like we are starting. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Touya tensed as he saw Waya. Damn. Not again. I don’t know why he’s so mad. It’s not like I asked Shindo out. He is the one who came to me. I wonder if they are fighting. Could he have asked me just to make Waya jealous?

“Don’t except a repeat performance. This is your one and only date with Shindo. He’ll be back in my arms by tomorrow evening. He doesn’t really like you. It’s just to annoy me.” Waya sneered.

“That might be true, but remember he asked me. You chased Shindo and I didn’t even have too. What’s the matter, Waya? You losing control of him.” Touya smiled slyly. “Next thing you know he’ll be kissing other people and kissing you goodbye.”

“Don’t worry about me. Why would he settle for anything less than the best?”

“Grow up. He can make his own decisions. But the question is will he decide on you.”

Touya broke out in a grin when Waya stomped of cursing under his breathe. Well, well this should be interesting. Waya seems a little nervous. I wonder what he did to Shindo.

“Touya, I’m glad you are on time. Shall we go in.” Hikaru said as he rushed up. “I can’t wait. I’ve been wanting to see this for the last week.”

“Hello. Sure.” Touya smiled at the out of breathe boy. “I’m really glad you asked me to come.”

“Really? I thought I just annoyed you. I really thought you would just laugh in my face when I asked you.”

“Let’s get snacks. My treat.”

Sai I’m really enjoying being with Touya. I haven’t had this much fun in a long time. He makes me feel happy. Is that weird? He really makes me laugh. I think I really like him.

~”It doesn’t hurt that he’s cute. I noticed you staring at his mouth. Thinking about kissing him too? “~ Sai teased. ~”If I was still alive I’d give you a run for your money. He’s sweet, gentle and so kind he takes my breathe away.”~

Sai I can’t believe you. You didn’t even mention his eyes. My god could one kiss turn me into a slut? Why am I reacting like this? Sai what should I do?

~”Take it one step at a time. There is no rush. I don’t think he’s going any where. You can always start as friends and see if anything develops.”~

“I can’t believe that ending. It was so shocking. Who would have thought he became an assassin to pay for his lover’s surgery.” Hikaru shook his head in disbelief. “I thought he was just a cold bastard. It really blew me away.”

“I guess it just goes to show a real lover is willing to do anything for the ones he loves.” Touya shrugged.

“Touya have you ever been in love?”

“Yes.” Touya blushed. “But I never had the courage to confess. The person was already in a relationship with someone else.”

“I’ve never been in love. I‘ve never even dated anyone. Let alone had a relationship.” Hikaru sighed. “It must be nice to have some one to love

“But I thought you and Waya were dating.” Touya gasped in surprise. “He’s been warning everyone off of you. Everyone knows he dumped Ochi for you. “

“Warning? What do you mean? We were just friends.”

“Were?”

“He kissed me yesterday.” Hikaru blushed and ducked his head. “When I tried to pretend it didn’t happen. He tried to press me. That’s how I ended up asking you to the movies. Waya made a snide comment about asking you if I wanted to be bored.”

“Bored?” Touya frowned. “Was it that bad?”

“No. I actually had a lot of fun.” Hikaru blushed again. “I think I might like you… a lot.”

“Do you mean that? Please don’t play with me. I’ve been in love with you for years.”

“Me? The person you were talking about is me?”

“I don’t suppose you want to go out on a real date?” Touya looked hopeful. “I really want to spend more time with you. If you just want to be friends that’s okay. I understand.”

“I think I would really like that. I’m glad you didn’t let Waya stop you from asking.”

“If he’s not your boyfriend why should his wishes stop me?”

Part 3

“Shindo. How was your movie? Did Touya put you to sleep?” Waya grabbed him from behind. “Do you wish you had taken me instead?”

“Actually I had a great time.” Shindo tried to wiggle out of the firm grasp. “In fact…”

“Please get your hands of my boyfriend.” Touya said from behind Waya.

“What do you mean boyfriend?”

“Oh that’s right I haven’t told you my news. Touya and I have started dating. I wasn’t even looking for a boyfriend when Touya took me by surprise.”

“Hikaru. Are you ready I made reservations for dinner?”

“We’ll see you later.”

As Touya walked past Waya he whispered. “You were right. He was back in your arms. To bad you couldn’t keep him. Better luck next time.”

“Did you see the look on Waya’s face? I’ve never seen anyone that stunned before. I always thought the mouth gaping like a fish was just a manga technique.” Hikaru giggled.

“I hope you don’t mind I called you my boyfriend. You looked like you needed help and that was all I could think to do.” Touya gazed anxiously at Hikaru. “I won’t say it again if you don’t want me to.”

“I liked it. You made me feel protected. Waya overwhelms me.” Hikaru shrugged. “I guess I ‘m susceptible to him.”

“When he gets to close I remember his kiss and get dizzy.” Hikaru blushed. “Touya Will you kiss me? If I’m only using you to hide from Waya that’s not fair to you. If we kiss I should know right?”

Touya moved closer to Hikaru and ran his hand down the side of his face and gentle lifted Hikaru’s chin. “I would love nothing more.”

Touya is so different from Waya. His kiss is less polished but more honest. Oh my what was that? My knees gave out. Hikaru pressed closer to Touya and whimpered. So sweet. I feel protected and cared for. So right.

Touya gasped as Hikaru took the initiative and deepened the kiss. I’ve never felt anything so right. Touya wondered how anyone could be so perfect. They matched each other caress for caress .

Hikaru reluctantly stepped back and smiled. “Well I know now. You aren’t just a place to hide. Touya tastes like pure sugar mixed with safety. I feel so comfortable with you like I was meant to be here.”

Sai do I sound crazy. Something in me reacted to Touya. I feel like he’s a missing piece of a puzzle and until now I had a Touya shaped hole that needed filling.

~”I feel like he was a missing part of us also. Until now I didn’t know we were incomplete.”~

“I’m so glad. I don’t know if I could have given you up after that kiss. I feel like I would have been losing a piece of my heart.”

“I’d like to take your whole heart. I don’t just want a small piece.” Hikaru grabbed Touya’s hand. “Come on We’ll be late for dinner.”

**********************************************************************************

“I can’t believe he left me for Touya. Shindo has never even looked twice at him before. Touya is so boring how could anyone prefer him to me.” Waya snarled as he paced. “How dare that brat wish me better luck next time? I will get him back I haven’t been waiting two and half years for him to be ready just to lose him to that bastard.”

“Waya, what’s wrong?” Isumi said as he approached his best friend. “You look like you swallowed a live goldfish.”

“Touya stole Shindo from me. Damn it I had him right where I wanted him and that thief swept in and took him away.” Waya hissed. “Tell me he’s not better than me. Why would he choose such a cold fish?”

“Really Touya and Shindo that is unexpected I thought you’d warned Touya off already?”

“I was teasing Shindo and made a comment about spending time with Touya if he wanted to be bored.” Waya sighed. “I didn’t know he really would.”

“You mean you handed him an opportunity to steal Shindo?” Isumi just shook his head. “Waya you know Shindo has a stubborn streak why would you challenge him like that.”

“But Touya’s so boring how could he have enjoyed himself with that jerk. I doubt Touya would know a joke if it bit him on the butt. He has no personality.” Waya started to get worked up again.

“Hello you dated Ochi if you want to talk no personality.” Isumi raised an eyebrow. “What you should have done was try to get Ochi interested in Touya.”

“I only went out with Ochi twice because he begged me to give him a chance. How was I supposed to know he was a stalker.” Waya shuddered as he remembered the two worst dates of his young life. “He followed me around for almost a year begging me to leave Shindo and come back to him. Not even if he was the last man on earth would I do that. I’d rather be a monk.”

Isumi laughed throatily “You as a monk. What an interesting idea. Surrounded by all those men you can’t touch. You thought the last two years with Shindo were hell.”

“That’s not funny.”

“I don’t think either one of us could give up the pursuit. The chase is almost as sweet as the prize,” Isumi patted Waya on the shoulder. “So are you just going to abandon your chase or are you going to get Shindo back? I had never seen you devote so much time to one person before.” Isumi asked. “You even skipped clubbing if Shindo wanted to do something. Before him you wouldn’t have let anything stop you from hitting the hot spots.”

“Of course I’m going to get him back. Have I ever failed?” Waya smiled evilly at Isumi. “I’m going to need your help. I’ve got a plan.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Touya let’s go for a walk in the park. We have to burn off some of that dinner. I’m stuffed.”

“I think I’m going to have to win a title just to keep you fed.” Touya ducked as Hikaru mimed a blow at his head. “I’m just teasing my regular games should be enough.”

“I’m a growing boy. I have to eat right or I’ll always be runty.” Hikaru stuck his tongue out .

Touya laughed. “What a beautiful night look at those stars. Are you chilly? You’re shivering.”

Hikaru snuggled closer to the taller boy. Touya wrapped his arm around him. They both sighed in contentment.
