Tegami Tsurai was a tall man with a muscular build who sat starring at the screen of his computer. His blue eyes flowed over the screen through the thin-framed glasses. He sat back in his seat and ran his hand through his dust brown hair. A smile came to his face as he looked harder at the screen. A short distance away sleeping on the couch was Yakeru Kubetsu, though he was 28, his job was a bouncer at a local nightclub. He prides himself on sleeping all day and eats whenever he's conscious. He was smaller than Tegmai, but still could pack a strong punch. The last man living with them in the house had been labeled as a home maker and babysitter. His blue-green eyes complemented his platinum blonde hair. He was very lean and spent much of his time cleaning, as he was doing now. Three unlikely people to be brought together as friends, and live under one roof peacefully, each the other’s lover, despite the rocky path.
      
      Ikenai’s gently sweeping movements slowly came to a stop, and he slowly turned towards Tsurai, "Tsu-kun."
      "Un?" he said without looking away from his work.
      "Ami-chan keeps asking me how we got like this…”
      "What do you mean 'like this'?"
      "The three of us," he said again.
      Tsurai laughed as he stopped typing. He got and went over to give Ikenai a hug, greeting him with a little kiss on his cheek. "Why are you asking me? You could tell her too."
      “I forgot a bit of it,” he replied sheepishly.
      Tsurai laughed again at his shy lover.
      "I just did. So stop teasing and tell me," the younger pouted.
      Kubetsu rolled on to floor and mumbled, 'Tsu-kun…five more minutes...' Ikenai and Tsurai stared at him before Ikenai walked over and woke him up. Kubetsu yawned and Tsurai was busy trying to smother his laughter.
      "Shut up Tegami!" Kubetsu snapped. Kubetsu got up and tackled Tsurai as they begin to wrestle. Ikenai stood to the side and watched. Well, everything isn't perfect, but it’s better than when it first all started.

~Flashback~

      It was on a rainy evening. Ikenai was sitting at his table doing homework, when a knock disturbed his work. He answered it to find Kubetsu. Kubetsu was the school bully, and he often could be found skipping downtown with his pals at the mall. There were also multiple rumors of his harem of super-hot girl friends, and alleged connections with the yakuza. He also commanded a small group of boys there, their numbers totaled about 20 all together, though you never saw more than 6 around him, so the numbers were never clear.
      When Ikenai opened the door, Kubetsu pushed in."Hey!"
      "I need a place to live, and since you don't have any one else living with you, I thought I'd crash here." Kubetsu put his bags down and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. Ikenai sighed and said to himself 'Only for a little while. He has other places he can go.' Ikenai went back to his work and some time later Kubetsu walked out wearing only a towel, hanging low. Ikenai looked up, wide eyed, his mouth hanging open a little, and dropped his pencil. Kubetsu walked over to the door were his bags sat and bent to get some 'clean' clothes. The chair Ikenai sat in fell over as he stared. Kubetsu continued to rummage through the bags. Ikenai scrambled back to his feet. Kubetsu’s towel is almost on the floor as he stands up and turns around; Ikenai's face had become cherry red.
      "Ecchi," Kubetsu scoffed. Ikenai's eyes followed Kubetsu back to the bathroom. When Kubetsu got out, Ikenai had only just gotten the chair back up. Kubetsu threw his wet clothes at Ikenai.
      "Wash 'em.”
      “Nani?”
      “You heard me, wash 'em.”
      “Why do I have to wash them?” Kubetsu glared at him
      “Because I told you to, that good enough?”
      “Hai,” Ikenai said, cowering away to go wash Kubetsu's clothes. ~Night~
      Ikenai went to bed before Kubetsu, leaving him to watch TV. A half- hour passed before Kubetsu went into Ikenai's room. He was cautious to make sure the blonde was asleep before he crawled under the covers. Kubetsu, upon feeling the position that Ikenai was in, and how he was laying, places his hands on Ikenai's hips.
      Kubetsu thought, 'Damn, this boy has a waist like a chick.'
      Without a second thought, Kubetsu brought a hand up to Ikenai's face and placed a finger on his lips. His finger traced over to the far side and brought Ikenai's face so it was facing his, then he leaned over and kissed it.
      'He has soft lips too,' Kubetsu thought as he broke away and waited to see if Ikenai woke up.
      He didn't, so Kubetsu kissed Ikenai again, this time not as light. Their lips part and Kubetsu placed a kiss by Ikenai’s ear. Ikenai gasped a little, but still didn't wake.
      Kubetsu chuckled to himself thinking, 'This must be one of his sensitive areas.' and began to lick. Ikenai gasped some more as Kubetsu licked his ear, dodging in and out. Kubetsu’s other hand gently ran fingers up and down Ikenai's chest and stomach. Kubetsu moved to Ikenai's neck with just the most teasing of licks, but the moan that came from Ikenai with that single lick drove Kubetsu to bite. Ikenai had awoken with the attention Kubetsu had been giving him, but Ikenai was too drunk with the feelings that he wasn't himself.
      “Riyu-kun... I thought they said we couldn't see each other any more,” Ikenai whispered, putting his arms around Kubetsu's neck and whimpering in his ear before nibbling, “More please.”
      Kubetsu was confused but continued on anyway. Ikenai continued gasping and moaning for another 15 minutes as Kubetsu licked and bit his neck, ears, and collar bone. Ikenai rolled over and looked at the clock and came out of his stupor. He didn't know who was biting him and demanded the body to stop.
      “What? Why, you're loving it.” Kubetsu said, reaching up to kiss Ikenai’s lips. Instead of the silken flesh he was expecting he was greeted by a slap across the face,
       “Why the hell where you teasing me?”
      “I couldn't help it. You're like a woman, hourglass figure, soft lips, enjoys having a tongue run up and down your body. See?” At his words Ikenai felt down his body and touched his own hard on. His face flushed and Kubetsu leaned in close with a seducing voice, “Why don't we finish up?” and softly licked Ikenai's ear. Ikenai tried to push Kubetsu off, but instead was forced down to his back, “You know you want it, you even asked me for more, or rather Riyu- kun, but since Riyu-kun isn’t here, its gonna have to be me.”
      Ikenai's eyes widened at the sound of Riyu-kun's name. Kubetsu picked up where he left off before Ikenai had fully awoken and worked down. Ikenai tried to suppress his moans, but was having little luck against the bites Kubetsu was strategically placing across his flesh.
      “Do you really want to try and fight a feeling you haven't had in ages? Enjoy it. You can call me Riyu-kun if you really want to, after all, this won't be our last time,” Kubetsu chuckled as he pulled down Ikenai's boxers and wrapped a hand around the throbbing cock. He gently tightened his grip wringing a moan from Ikenai’s lips, “See? You really want it. Just give in and let me work.”
       Kubetsu slowly began to move his hand up and down and Ikenai moaned louder. Kubetsu rubbed his tongue over the head. Ikenai moaned again and tossed his head. The tongue swirled a few times around, lapping at the underside before allowing it to enter the mouth. Ikenai's chest pumped up and down from the panting, he continued moaning loudly as Kubetsu continued his motions. Kubetsu lifted his head and moved up to lay next to Ikenai. He put their lips together and pressed in his tongue. Ikenai fought to get the intruder out, but only made it worse as it went deeper and played around. Saliva dripped out of the corner of his mouth as the struggle went on. Kubetsu rose up and rolled over. He lowered his boxers.
       “Now its your turn to suck,” he ordered.
      Ikenai glared at Kubetsu, but quickly realized that if he didn't do what Kubetsu commanded, it would result in pain. He moved down to level and opened his mouth, but not before hesitating. He swallowed hard and placed his tongue on the erection before him. He licked up and down awhile, listening to Kubetsu moan before taking it into his mouth. This was his first time sucking anyone. His tongue swirled a few times causing Kubetsu to toss his head back and moan a bit louder than before. He began to move his head up and down as Kubetsu had done to him earlier. Ikenai continued for a few minutes before Kubetsu groaned loudly and came. Ikenai sat up, wiping come off his face.
      “Good boy.” He whispered, licking come off Ikenai's mouth, “Now its your turn.”
      Kubetsu ran his tongue down one last time for the night on his way to Ikenai's erection. He ran it over twice before he began to suck. Ikenai moaned and tossed his head around as Kubetsu ran his mouth quickly up and down. Ikenai came with ease and panted to catch his breath before Kubetsu did something else after he was done cleaning.
      “Since I was so nice as to clean both your mouth and cock of come, why don't you return the favor.” He sneered at Ikenai triumphantly.
       Ikenai leaned over to Kubetsu and flicked his tongue across the other lips. Kubetsu greeted Ikenai's with his own. He pushed Ikenai down again, and sat back up himself. Ikenai looked up, tired and wanting to sleep, and pulled himself over to Kubetsu's lap and began to lap up at the come-covered cock. Kubetsu closed his eyes for a minute before opening them and looking down at Ikenai lick, before stroking Ikenai's hair like he was a cat.
      “There there. No reason to be in such a hurry. It's okay to skip tomorrow.”
      “You may not want to go to school tomorrow, but I do. Let me just finish this and go to sleep.”
      “How can I let you sleep? The way you moan when you're touched begs for more. I just comply with what I am told to do.”
      “Go sleep on the couch. Don't you have some where else you could stay?”
      “The couch is lumpy and cold, but here it's warm and snug.”
      “Go stay with one of your goons tomorrow. You can't stay here.”
      “Afraid I might pleasure you again? I like it here.” Ikenai smacked Kubetsu. He then got up and went to the closet, but Kubetsu grabbed his wrist and pulled him down, pushing a kiss to his lips when he fell, “Who said I was finished with you yet?”
       “You aren't the boss of me, let me go,” he growled.
      “I can do with you as I please,” Kubetsu said, trying to kiss him again but Ikenai was struggling too much for there to be much contact. Kubetsu grabbed his face and held him still, “I'll hurt you if you don't hold still. I'll do as I like. Don't worry though, I promise you'll enjoy it.”
      Kubetsu leaned in again and kissed Ikenai. When he slipped his tongue in, Ikenai bit it, “I said no! Leave me alone and go to sleep.” Kubetsu stuck his tongue out and checked his tongue to make sure it wasn't bleeding. Ikenai got up and went to the closet and took out a blanket and a pillow, “I'm sleeping on the couch, don't touch me!” Ikenai put his boxers back on and went out to the couch. Kubetsu watched him to the door, “You sleep here tonight, but tomorrow you sleep on the couch, and DON'T touch me again. Or else you're gonna be busy finding a new place to stay while you skip school.”
      Kubetsu stayed in Ikenai's room that night, and skipped school just as he said he was going to. The following night he had slept on the couch as Ikenai told him to. Despite being a new roommate, he hardly did anything to earn his keep.
      Tegami Tsurai, captain of the swim team, chairman of the class committee, popular, tanned, and had a perfect attendance record, up until now...The class was making a fuss about where Tegami was.
      “Wow, this is unlike Tegami-san to not be here yet. Maybe he was caught by a teacher before he was able to get to class,” Seikyu, a friend of Ikenai, said.
      “No, I don't think so. Even if he was, he would be here by now. Something else must have happened.”
      “What do you think happened?”
      “I don't know. Just hope it was nothing bad.”
      “HA! He's the perfect student, if he's in trouble nothing will happen.”
      “Not even the perfect student can get away with everything."
      The bell for class to start rang, students went to their seats, the teacher entered, and the school day began. It wasn't until second period was 15 minutes in when the door suddenly opened and Tegami-san came in. He apologized to the teacher and took his seat. The teacher wrote something down in a book and continued teaching. Ikenai didn't take notice of any of the rumors or how he dealt with them that day. He was worried the whole time about Kubetsu living at his home. Kubetsu wasn't given a key, so he had to leave the door unlocked if he wanted to get back in. Ikenai said he had to go home for awhile to the soccer coach, but he would be back soon, and rushed home. Kubetsu was watching TV with dirty dishes on the table, and nothing cleaned.
      “You co0uld have at least put your dishes in the sink! Get your feet off the coffee table. If you want to stay here, you can't be such a slob! ARG!”
      “It's just a few dishes. Don't you have practice today anyway? What are you doing here?”
       “I came to make sure you didn't destroy the place. Pick up your stuff and don’t leave. Can you please do the dishes?”
      “What do I get if I do?” he asked seductively.
      “You get to stay here, that's what. I'm going back now. I get home about 6, I want them done when I get back.”
      “Yes mother,” he pouted, leaning back on the couch.
      As Ikenai was about to go out the door there was knock, “Yes?”
      “Can I, why is Yakeru-san here?” “He just dropped in and won't leave. What did you need?”
      “Yakeru-san, why have you infested this poor person's home?”
      “I'm not poor,” Ikenai whispered from the door.
      “And pester him with no relief?”
      “I was gonna do the dishes.” he protested.
      “You? Clean? This is something I need to see to believe.” Tsurai said, sitting down in a chair and giving Kubetsu a death glare.
      Ikenai rolled his eyes and tossed his arms in the air, “Don't destroy anything while I'm gone. I'll be back by 6.” Ikenai left; worried that the building might be gone when he got back, and returned to practice.
      Ikenai came home around six and found Tsurai sitting at the table working on some papers, Kubetsu watching TV, more bags in the small apartment, the dishes done, and the place cleaned. Ikenai's mouth dropped as he walked in.
      “What happened here? Did you really do the dishes Yakeru-san?” Kubetsu nodded. “Those aren't your bags, are they Tegami-san’s?” he said nervously.
      “Yes. I decided to live here,” Tsurai said, his voice held a note of finality, sure of his decision, knowing that no matter how much anyone argued or complained it wasn’t going to make a difference.
      “But, don't you have your own place?”
      “Not any more, I was kicked out today. That's why I came to school so late. I came over to ask to use you phone, but seeing such a beast living here with you,” Kubetsu gave an evil glare to Tsurai, “you will be needing some help handling him. So I moved in as well.”
      Without a word Ikenai rubbed his forehead and headed to the bathroom.
      Ikenai thought to himself while getting ready for a bath, ‘This place is too small for three people to live here. It might not be so bad if those two got along easily, but no matter what it is, they butt heads. Why must opposites attract and why in my place? Please don't let Kubetsu get in here. The last thing I need is to be raped again. Where is Tsurai gonna sleep? I'll let them duke it out for the couch. No one in my room tonight. I don't need to know if Tsurai is after me too. The water feels nice.' He thought with a sigh of contentment as he sank into the water. Kubetsu noticed that Tsurai watched Ikenai go to the bathroom,
      “Hey Tsurai- kun.”
       “Don't call me that.” “Nina-chan dumped you the other day, didn't she?” he asked with a wicked smile.
      “Mind your own business.”
      “Heard it was because you tried getting a little too cozy with her.”
      “Shut up.” he growled menacingly.
      “It's okay, its just a little loving. I understand that. But ya know, Ike-chan has a body like a girl, hourglass figure, smooth skin, hardly any noticeable hair on his legs. His lips too, just as soft or softer than any girl’s.”
      “Yakeru-san.” Kubetsu ignored him and went on, “Touch him anywhere and he goes nuts. You should really hear his moans.”
      “I don't want to be in on any of your perverted doings,” he hissed.
      “No, really, you should hear him. He isn't that hard to over come. Give a mean look and he obeys. What girl will do that so easily?”
      “I said-“ But Kubetsu cut him off.
      “Just try it once. If there's a spot you like to kiss, lick it; bite it, he likes it, really. Seems he used to be involved with a guy at some point and this happened quite a bit.” Tsurai gave Kubetsu an uneasy glare, “You really should give it a try, you might end up wanting more...” He watched as Tsurai unconsciously licked his lips and sly grin came across Kubetsu's face, “Wait at least a half hour after he goes to bed to go in and start anything. I promise you'll enjoy it.” Tsurai glared at Kubetsu again and went back to his work.
      Ikenai walked in and cleared his throat, “Alright, if you both want to stay here, you have to get along and do something to earn your keep. And doing your own laundry doesn't count. Tomorrow we will make a list of who has what chores when, and no complaining. This is MY place.” Ikenai wanted to set some ground rules between them before anyone got to comfy where they were, “No peeping in on others while they are in the bathroom, no raping anyone while they are asleep, no tricks on anyone while they are asleep. If it's not yours don't touch it, do your chores when they're assigned to you, No parties here, please try not to have any people over, this is a small apartment, and is crowded already. And the most important thing, get along with each other.”
      Most of the time Ikenai was glaring at Kubetsu as he was saying these rules. Tsurai thought he had no problem following these, and that Kubetsu would be kicked out in no time. “Do you guys understand?” he asked, the other two nodded, “Alright. You're on your own for dinner, there isn't much food left, so you might have to go buy it yourself. Tomorrow, I expect some money from you guys for food. I'll go shopping then.” Ikenai dismissed the meeting and got some food for himself. Tsurai made himself dinner, while Kubetsu went back to the couch. After eating Ikenai did his homework and went to his room.
      Tsurai joined Kubetsu on the couch, “So, you gonna tease him tonight?” Tsurai was speechless, “Come on, ignore that rule of his, he doesn't think you would touch him.”
      “He would know it was me.”
      “No he wouldn't. He expects me if something is gonna happen tonight. If he catches you staring at him though, you'll lose your best chance. He won't trust you like he does now. Go play with him tonight. It's your chance to do anything you want with him. I won't rat, I'll take the blame, but for this night only.”
       Tsurai stared at Kubetsu hard, “Won't he see me come into his room?”
      “Not unless the light is on and you go in too soon. Wait like a half hour, 45 minutes before you go in. He really does lose it quickly.”
      Tsurai turned his attention back to the TV and ignored Kubetsu. Kubetsu got up to find something to eat. Ikenai vanished to his room, leaving Tsurai and Kubetsu to fight it out for the couch. Kubetsu made his bed on the couch and stretched out. Tsurai leaned against the couch reading a book and waiting until he could go into Ikenai's room.
      When Tsurai got up to go, Kubetsu gave him the thumbs up, “Have fun.” Tsurai rolled his eyes and went to Ikenai's door. Tsurai put his hand on the door handle and his heart began to thump. He froze there for a few minutes trying to collect himself before turning the door knob. He listened for any movement from Ikenai before he opened the door all the way. He slipped in and shut the door. He quietly walked over to Ikenai’s bed and made sure he wasn't aware of him. Tsurai felt for the position Ikenai was in and crawled under the covers. 'Why am I doing this?' he thought, but swallowed hard and continued anyway. Tsurai first traced Ikenai's lip with his finger before he brought their lips together.
      'They are soft.' He thought, almost shocked. Ikenai yawned and Tsurai froze in fear, Ikenai hadn't noticed. After calming himself down, he groped the smaller boy, whose legs opened to allow him to do so easier. 'Maybe Yakeru- san was telling the truth. So far all he said has been true.' He touched lips again and obliged him by sticking his tongue in when it was asked for.
      He backed off and straddled the body before he continued. While he was placing kisses on the tender neck, a hand traveled up to find a nipple below the shirt. Ikenai was moaning lightly and grasping the bed covers. After awhile, Tsurai's tongue wished to play with the erect nipple as well. After the shirt was pushed up, and the pink flesh was covered in saliva, Ikenai's hand reached up and grabbed Tsurai's hair. Tsurai thought nothing of this until the hand clinched and pulled.
      “Didn't you hear what I said earlier?” Ikenai asked softly.
      Tsurai said nothing but placed a hand upon Ikenai's chest to hold him down and forced his tongue to meet the other again. He went back to what he was doing and made it clear he had no intentions of stopping. Ikenai put his hand back onto the bed and allowed Tsurai to continue. Tsurai moved down from the nipple and nipped at the skin just below the navel while he removed the pants and boxers.
      Tsurai began to suck Ikenai's cock, while Ikenai tried to suppress his moan of pleasure and whispered the name, “Riyu-kun.”
      Tsurai became tempted to stop and ask about this 'Riyu' character, but instead nipped at the base. Ikenai gasped aloud and rolled his head. Tsurai continued to nip up and down the length, leaving Ikenai begging him to stop. Tsurai took the head into his mouth and swirled his tongue around it.
      “Why?” Tsurai asked before continuing to lick.
      “I'm gonna come,” Ikenai cried.
      “Not before me,” he said, getting up and motioning for Ikenai to begin sucking him.
      Ikenai had no choice but to do what Tsurai wanted, so moved into position to begin sucking his other Seme. Tsurai placed his hand on Ikenai's head and forced him to take more of it. Ikenai tried to fight back, but only caused Tsurai to push harder. It was a losing battle, so he just gave in and took in as much as Tsurai desired. He began to move his head up and down and the other boy gasped and moaned from the new sensations.
      “More,” Tsurai moaned.
      Ikenai kept pace for a while before he made it quicker. Tsurai rolled his head back and forth, trying to resist release, but failed to escape it.
      "This was your first time wasn't it?" Ikenai asked getting up.
      "So?" Tsurai scowled.
      "Nothing. You just came really early, that’s all," he said beginning to finish himself.
      When Ikenai was done, he curled back up with his pillow and pulled the covers over him. Tsurai sat in silence wondering about what just happened. He shook his head and crawled under the covers as well and went to sleep. ~*~
      Tsurai felt the warmth of the sun on his skin, the breath of another not far from his face. He awoke to found Ikenai sharing the same pillow as he was on. Tsurai become more aware of his surrounding and realized that his arm was around the small figure, holding it close. His heart began to race as he stared at the angelic sleeping face. Tsurai curled closer and kissed the blonde's lips before wrapping him closer with his arms and closed his eyes again. Ikenai had awoken a short while later to the unusual warmth he was receiving. He was surprised to find Tsurai so close, then realized he wasn't trying to push on him as he thought and snuggled closer to the bigger body.
      Kubetsu woke up and was curious as to why Tsurai wasn't out of Ikenai's room yet. He decided to peek in and see what was going on. He found them too close for his personal comfort. He stalked over like a cat, pouncing on top of them. Both were rudely taken out of their bliss and Kubetsu was greeted warmly with hands, feet, and pillows to his face, butt, and stomach.
      "What in the world possessed you to do that? You lunatic," Tsurai yelled.
      "Nothing possessed him, he's Yakeru-san. It's what he does," Ikenai hissed before taking Tsurai's arm and placing his head on it, considering his pillow was across the room.
      Tsurai gave an evil glare to Kubetsu, who as attending to area's that were soon going to be bruised from the counter-attack, before wrapping his free arm around Ikenai, and curling up to sleep some more. Kubetsu snarled at them before he left the room.
      "Nezumi-san," Tsurai whispered.
      "Hmmm?" Ikenai said drowsily.
      "Are you, are you mad at me?" he asked. Ikenai was silent, partly because he wanting to get some more rest, but mostly because he didn't know how he felt.
      "If you're mad at me, please tell me. I want to know," Tsurai said beggingly.
      "I..." he trailed off, clutching the flesh-pillow more, "No, I'm not really mad at you right now. But, I'm not pleased with you either."
      "I'm sorry," he whispered softly and kissed Ikenai's ear.
       Ikenai blushed and looked over at the clock. "It looks like Kubetsu was doing us a favor by pouncing on us."
      "What do you mean?"
      "Look at the clock," he said, pointing to it.
      "Shit. We're gonna be late," Tsurai said under his breath as he jumped out of bed and ran out to his bags.
       "Dear god, couldn't you have put something on before coming out here?" Kubetsu cringed and hid his eyes from the naked Tsurai as he dug through his bags to find a school uniform.
      Ikenai walked out dressed before Tsurai was able to get himself done, picked up his bag, faced Kubetsu and inspected him. "Are you going to school today?"
      "I'm dressed to go aren't I?”
      "I guess you are some what. You still need to tuck your shirt in." The door slammed as Tsurai just ran out of it.
      "He forgot his bag."
      "Bet you he doesn't realize it until he gets to school."
      Ikenai picked up the other bag and headed out the door, "Are you coming?"
      "Yeah I'm coming," Ikenai shut and locked the door behind him.
      Tsurai came running back down the hall and Ikenai held his bag out for him. Tsurai was about to turn and run on his heels again, but is shirt sleeve was snagged on Ikenai's hand.
      "Huh?"
      "Walk. It really doesn't take that long to get there. You know that."
      "But-" Tsurai tried to protest
      "We won't be late. We still have a half hour."
      "Oops, I read the clock wrong," his face flushed slightly before he got to his urgent business, "Then, in that case, can I go to the bathroom?"
      "That explains your big rush," Kubetsu said as Ikenai unlocked the door.
      Tsurai ran in quickly and dashed to the bathroom.
       "Why did you have to open the door for him? He could have made it to school," Kubetsu said.
      Ikenai gave him an evil look, "Because he wouldn't have. We don't live that close. And I wasn't gonna let him wet himself. But you I might."
      Kubetsu looked shocked to hear such a thing and shortly later Tsurai came back from the bathroom.
      "Alright," Tsurai said coming back. "Let's go now," and he put his arm around Ikenai and started down the hall. Ikenai followed along, and Kubetsu turned up his nose before he trotted behind.
      When they got down to the street Tsurai took his arm off of Ikenai and walked his normal pace. Ikenai walked slower then Tsurai, and it was bugging him. Kubetsu stayed behind with Ikenai and walked with him.
      Luckily for Ikenai, neither Tsurai, who's in his class, or Kubetsu, who's in the class down the hall, tried to do anything for the day. ~
      "I need money," Ikenai said out of no where on the way home.
      "For what?" Tsurai asked defensively.
      "I said I was going shopping today and would need money from you guys. You do want food, right? I'm heading to work and will be back later with food."
      "How much do you need from each of us?" Kubetsu questioned.
      "Well, it depends on how much food you want. I only got 1000 yen left. And if none of you give me any money, certainly neither of you can have any food."
      "That's certainly a good argument," Tsurai said taking out his wallet and handing Ikenai 4000. "Do I alone get the 4000 worth of food, or is it shared?"
      "Well, normally I don't go shopping until I get my pay check. But with both of you suddenly here, I have no money and no food. So, yes, the food is shared with those who put money in. And it wouldn't matter if I had money or not, because both of you are living at MY place with out paying rent."
      "So if Yakeru-san doesn't put any money in, he gets no food?"
       "Basically. And no small amount either. I would have more, but again, I don't get my pay check for a while still."
      "Alright alright, I get the point. Here's 3000. I swear I ain't got any more," Kubetsu hissed pulling money from his pocket. "
      It's don't, not ain't," Tsurai corrected
      "I DON'T care. Sheesh."
      "Tsurai, here's the key to the apartment. If you guys go some where, make sure to be back by 7. I should be home by then. Bye," he said before trying to head to work.
      “Hey, what no good-bye kiss?" Kubetsu teased.
      “Ask Tsurai for one. I'm leaving," and he as he ran off.
       Tsurai gave Kubetsu a hard look. "Don't worry. No way am I ever gonna kiss you."
      The two walked home on opposite sides of the street, huffing in a silent fury. They raced up the stairs, elbowing each other, to be the first one home. They had fallen into a heap on the floor while trying to get through the door, kicking each other to get up. Kubetsu finally struggled free and lunged for the remote and his spot on the couch.
      Ikenai got home shortly after 7 and was glomped by the pair before he was able to get into the door. His arms had bags of food in them, and for the sake of poor Ikenai, both, yes both Tsurai and Kubetsu helped him take the food in and put it away.
      "What is your job anyway Ikenai?" Tsurai asked putting food away.
      "I'm a waiter at the cafe on the corner."
      "Oh, that one."
       "What one?" Kubetsu asked.
      "It's not important. I'm gonna take a bath now. Make yourselves dinner."
      As Ikenai went to the bathroom, both Tsurai and Kubetsu followed him with their eyes.
       "Should we follow him?" Kubetsu said nudging Tsurai.
      Tsurai looked at Kubetsu and continued to put groceries away, Kubetsu shrugged. When the groceries where done, Kubetsu crashed on the couch. A few minutes later, Tsurai came up and took the remote from Kubetsu and changed the channel.
      "I was watching that."
      "You always watch that. Time to watch what I want to."
       "No, I was here first," he said taking the remote and changing it back, "So I get the T.V."
      “You already saw this. You don't need to watch it again," he said, taking the remote back and changing the channel again.
      "I have not seen this one yet. Now turn it back," he hissed reaching for the remote but only getting it taken out of his grasp, "Give it here!"
      “And what do you think you’re gonna do if I don’t?” Kubetsu glared at Tsurai, and got up and walked to the bathroom and knocked. “Ikenai-kun... I have to go to the bathroom.”
      “Hold it,” was herd through the door.
      “I can’t.”
      “You should have gone earlier.”
      “I didn’t have to earlier. Please??”
      “No”
      “Ike-kuuuun,” Kubetsu said making it sound really pathetic and sad.
      The noise of water splashing could be heard, and shortly later Ikenai, wearing a towel, dripping wet, opened the door. A smile spread across Kubetsu's face and he pushed Ikenai in and locked the door behind him before Tsurai could come over and stop him.
      Ikenai tried to make a sound in protest as Kubetsu locked the door, but was pushed to the ground instead. Kubetsu turned to face Ikenai and grinned, sending chills down Ikenai's back.
      Tsurai jumped up when he heard the door lock and rushed over to try to stop Kubetsu. "Do you think he can break the door down?" Kubetsu asked stepping over to Ikenai.
      Ikenai struggled to get up but was stopped with Kubetsu's arm and mouth. After he was down, he was straddled and kept on his back. Kubetsu leaned down and started placing kisses over Ikenai's neck. Tsurai stopped pounding and shouting at the door and sat down on the floor with his ear to it.
      "No, stop. Get of me," Ikenai said, trying to maintain his composure but unable to do so.
      Kubetsu ignored his plea and continued kissing, which soon turned into biting and sucking. Soon Ikenai couldn't keep himself from gasping and moaning as Kubetsu nibbles at his ear and gropes him. Kubetsu suddenly stopped and sat up. Ikenai was panting lightly and began to sit up, only to again, be pushed down by Kubetsu.
      "I'm not gonna stop. I'm just undressing," and he proceeded to take his shirt off. "Now, just lie there and don't move. Well, you can move if you want, the chase is part of the fun after all,"he said as he stood up to take off his wet pants. Ikenai thought about jumping up and unlocking the door, but remember what kind of brute Kubetsu could be so stayed on the floor. Kubetsu tossed aside his pants, shirt, and boxers and resumed his position on Ikenai. "It seems as if you got some sense in you."
      Kubetsu continued where he left off, groping and nipping at a the base of the neck. His tongue moved down the center of his chest and rolled itself up and down the line a few times, evoking Ikenai to moan. Kubetsu grinned to himself and reached towards the towel, barely covering Ikenai as it was. Ikenai grabbed Kubetsu's wrist in protest, but proved to be unsuccessful. The tossed aside towel landed heavily and a hand began to run up and down on the upper thighs, going in and out. Ikenai gasped and tried to move squirm away, but just ended up with a leg in the air. Kubetsu lifted Ikenai's right leg over his shoulder to part the legs better. Ikenai opened his eyes to look at Kubetsu and saw something which he wished he didn't, a full erection on himself. Kubetsu put a grin on his face rolled the head between his fingers for a second before his tongue played on it.
      "You sound like you're enjoying it more than last time, Ike-chan."
      Bastard," Ikenai hissed.
      surai was leaning against the door with his back, and had his head turned to listen to what was going on inside. Kubetsu had wrapped his tongue around the protruding flesh again, and skillfully danced around it. Ikenai clenched his fist and continued making the sounds which Kubetsu wanted to hear. They were also the sounds Tsurai wanted to hear. He kept close attention to the level of noise he was making while he unzipped and pulled out his own erection, and began to run his hand up and down on it.
      ubetsu brought it in and moved quickly up and down until Ikenai came.
      See? That wasn't so bad was it?"
      hile Ikenai was catching his breath, Kubetsu waited a moment before he lifted his leg again and shoved a finger in. Ikenai jumped up best to his ability, and let out a scream.
      "What the hell are you doing?"
      "Did you really think it was gonna be that easy? After all, I am still hard."
      "I- I'll suck you, just please - DON'T!" Ikenai screamed as Kubetsu pushed another one in.
      "Don't? Why do you go against your body so much? You’re hard again. Just lay back down and make those sounds you’re so good at," he said and stuck another finger in. Ikenai cringed at this, and laid back down.
      Kubetsu replaced his fingers with his own erection and Ikenai squirmed to try and get away from the pain. "Has it been too long since last time?" Kubetsu sneered.
      "What are you talking about?" Ikenai hissed.
      "Didn't you use to do this kind of thing with Riyu-kun?"
      "No, never. He never treated me as awful as you do."
      "But he left you, didn't he?" and Kubetsu thrusted in.
      Tears came to Ikenai's eyes as he let out a cry of pain. Tsurai let out a gasp of pleasure himself and looked down at his hand. He sighed, got up and went to the sink.
      Kubetsu backed off a little before going further in. Every time he took the younger boy, a sob of pain and tears would flow. The pattern was soon broken by pounding on the door. Tsurai had had enough of what Kubetsu was doing to Ikenai and began banging on the door furiously. Kubetsu turned to glare at the door for a moment before deciding that he should hurry. He looked back at Ikenai and his tear stained face and began to pick up his previous pass quickly.
      "YAKERU-SAN! YAKERU-SAN!" Tsurai screamed hitting the resisting door. Several times it seemed as if the door would bust off of it's hinges.
      The faster Kubetsu went the deeper he got, the deeper he got the more Ikenai cried, the more Ikenai cried the harder Tsurai hit the door. Kubetsu was in a hidden panic just before he came for fear of the door coming down and Tsurai killing him. Kubetsu fell down completely to his hands and knees and began panting. Ikenai was crying just as much as he was before, and hurting even more. The last hit Tsurai gave made the screws in the door hinges give away a little bit.
      "Alright already, I'll open the damn door," Kubetsu hissed getting up and placing himself so he would be behind the door when it opened.
      He unlocked it and swung it open, holding tightly to the door handle. Tsurai dashed in and went to Ikenai's side. Ikenai had managed to roll over into the fetal position and covered his face with his hands. Tsurai reached over and grabbed the towel laying on the floor and wrapped Ikenai in it as best he could. Tsurai then picked up Ikenai and carefully carried him to his bedroom. He laid the sobbing mass on the bed and stroked back a lock of hair from the hidden face.
      Kubetsu had gotten dressed and crept out of the bathroom to the door and left the apartment before Tsurai came out to do any bodily harm to him. Tsurai laid his body next to Ikenai's and wrapped the mass in his arms.
      "Shhh. It's gonna be okay. I won't let him do that to you again." And he stroked the golden hair some more.
      Ikenai tried to calm down his crying, but wasn't able to stop. Tsurai began to rock Ikenai like a mother does when her baby cries. He unconsciously began to hum a song his mother sang to him as well. Tsurai continued to do this and soon Ikenai fells asleep. When Tsurai realized that, he kissed Ikenai's forehead and curled up to sleep as well.
      Tsurai woke up not long afterwards, and slipped his arm out carefully under the still sleeping Ikenai. He got up, stretched and looked back down at Ikenai. Tsurai leaned down and kissed Ikenai on the forehead and stoked some of the gold locks from the face before leaving the room. Tsurai checked the bathroom to see how dirty it was before proceeding to the kitchen table, taking a seat and waiting for Kubetsu to get back. Tsurai didn't have to wait long before Kubetsu came sneaking through the door.
      "Ah, Tegami-san, y-you're still here?" he said with a bit of nervousness.
      "Why wouldn't I be? I do live here after all," he said, [EN: I just added that in there] putting his hand out and standing up.
      “I just thought that you had something today."
      "Not really. But there is something that I wanna do," Tsurai said walking towards Kubetsu.
      "Oh, and what might that be?" he asked backing away into the apartment.
      "You'll find out," he said with a sly smile and grabbed Kubetsu's shirt to pull him towards him, he picked him up and carried him off to the bathroom.
      "Wha-what are you going to do to me???!" he asked with great panic.
       "You already know what I'm gonna do, so why ask?"
      "You? But- but aren't you supposed to be mellow, calm, collective," he said quickly before screaming, "HELP ME!"
      By this time Tsurai had gotten him to the bathroom, and now shoved one of Ikenai's socks that were still on the floor into his mouth and tied his hands behind his back with a shirt. He pushed Kubetsu to the ground before turning around and locking the door. Kubetsu managed to roll over onto his side. He had terror in his eyes when Tsurai kneeled down onto the floor in front of him and grabbed his chin to force him to look up at him.
      "We are going to have so much fun," he said with a chuckle.
      He rolled Kubetsu on to his back the best he could lay and lifted up his shirt. Tsurai stared at the skinny boy's chest for a moment before sliding a finger up the barely visible muscle's and ribs. Kubetsu flinched and took in a hiss of air when the fingers reached his nipples and twisted them.
      "Seems like your some what used to this. Doesn't matter."
      Tsurai twisted harder and Kubetsu let out a muffled yelp, and Tsurai chuckled. He bent down and placed his lips on his nipple, first gently kissing and licking them tenderly before placing them between his teeth and biting hard, but not hard enough to make him bleed. Kubetsu screamed as tears came to his eyes from the pain. Tsurai sat back up and grinned at the crying boy. He placed his hand the boys crotch.
      "Not even hard. I thought you liked pain. You should have a huge erection by now. Maybe it's not enough pain for you." Kubetsu shook his head furiously back and forth trying to get Tsurai to not do whatever he had planned.
      Tsurai leaned down again and ran his tongue down Kubetsu's chest and torso starting from where the shirt bunched up. As he ran his tongue down, one of his hands was busy undoing Kubetsu's pants. When his tongue reached the elastic of Kubetsu's underwear, he began to take them off, but Kubetsu spread his legs so that they wouldn't get off. Tsurai had to stand up and pull the pants off with a great deal of his strength and shaking Kubetsu around a bit.
      Kubetsu hit the floor with a loud thump and tried to roll to his side from the pain in his lower body.
      "You're not trying to get away are you?" he asked, pulling the body onto its back again and laying over it.
      Tsurai began to lap at Kubetsu's neck for awhile before nipping at it.
      ‘Please... don't...' Kubetsu pleaded to himself.
      Tsurai ran his tongue up Kubestu's neck and began to play with his earlobe. Tears began to run down Kubetsu's face again as Tsurai bit violently at the tiny pieces of flesh. Kubetsu let out another scream of pain muffled by the sock Tsurai began to place bits up and down Kubetsu's neck and chest. Tsurai checked to see if Kubetsu was hard yet.
      When he found disappointment, he sighed, and said "I'm sorry Kubetsu but you shouldn't have done that to Ikenai," before gently kissing away Kubetsu's tears. With slow movements Tsurai laid soft, deliberate kisses all over Kubetsu's face before carefully playing his tongue along Kubetsu's ear. Kubetsu began to cry again from fear of another bite.
      "It's okay, I think you've learned your lesson. I'm not gonna hurt you," he whispered, his breath bathing the damp shell of his ear in warmth.
       Kubetsu began to relax to the soft play of Tsurai's tongue along his neck. Kubetsu whimpered and rubbed his head the best he could against Tsurai's to get his attention. Tsurai sat up and looked at him.
      "Yes? What do you want?"
      "Cake ii oot," he said muffled by the sock.
      "What? You want me to take the sock out?" Tsurai asked, knowing what he wanted before he even asked.
      Kubetsu nodded his head 'yes', but Tsurai just shook his head and went back down and began to lap up Kubetsu's chest.
      Kubetsu had decided to just let it be and enjoy the pleasure Tsurai was bestowing upon him. It wasn't long until he began to make sounds in the back of his throat and tossing his head. Tsurai had moved lower and lower until it was required for him to remove the striped boxers. While Tsurai slid the elastic band down the legs, Kubetsu began to whimper in fear to what was going to happen next.
      Tsurai grinned looking down on to the poor boy and took his member into his hand and wrapped his lips around it. The tears welding in his eyes became streams down his face. Tsurai’s tongue swirled around the head for a short while then moving to the base and gently nipping and tugging at the hairs. Kubetsu’s tears were creating a stream down his face to the floor while he was thinking of what Tsurai might do next.
      ‘Would he get his kicks from simple rape? Is he the more sadist type and take such objects as the plunger or the bar of soap on the sink and do as he will? Maybe he will drag me over to the shower and sculled me, or he could or he could-’ the terror he was creating himself was nothing to what was going on, which he paid no attention to. He began to squirm and whimper from his imagination, confusing Tsurai who was just stroking the poor boy’s cock with his tongue. By now, Kubetsu was getting a cold sweat and wouldn’t calm down, all his thrashing and whimpers turning into muffled screams halted Tsurai and sent him into a slight panic.
      Tsurai pulled up and looked into Kubetsu's face, "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked softly, brushing a hand down the crying boy's face to the sock and removed the gag.
      Kubetsu slowly opened his eyes, panic was rich in his face, "Y-You're going to hurt me," he wailed.
      "I wasn't hurting you, so tell me what's wrong," he ordered, out of genuine concern.
      "You're going to hurt me," he said again.
       Tsurai’s face softened as he tenderly brushed Kubetsu's tears away, "No I won't," he said calmly, "I won't hurt you."
      "Yes you are," he whispered and cringed back.
      "Does this hurt?" he asked, trailing his fingertips over Kubetsu's erection. Kubetsu shook his head, "See?" he said, wrapping his hand around Kubetsu's arousal. “You are just being ridiculous, scarring yourself.” And he gently placed Kubetsu back onto the floor to go back to his position.
      Tsurai parted his lips to slip his tongue out and lapped at the head a bit more before taking it in. All he did was familiar gentle motions, yet Kubetsu still treated them as pain and hissed in air.
      A light rasping sound come from the door with a voice neither of them had wanted to hear. “Hey, who’s in there? I really have to go,” he said sleepily.
      Both Tsurai and Kubetsu had a mutual feeling that Ikenai couldn’t see them like this. Panic leaped to them like a lion to its next meal. Tsurai tripped over himself as he was trying to get up and landed on to Kubetsu, who let out a grunt. Ikenai turned the locked handle back and forth to show his impatience.
      “Just a minute,” Tsurai called out. “Crap, what do we do now?” he turned and whispered to Kubetsu.
      “Why do you think I would know?” he hissed back.
      The door squeaked open. Ikenai stood there wrapped in a bed sheet starring at the two boys in a heap on his bathroom floor. The stared at each other blinking for a few minutes before Ikenai walked in.
      “I don’t want to know. I just have to go to the bath room. You two can continue your little enjoyment as long as I am not involved in it,” he plainly stated and went to the bathroom.
      Tsurai stared at the shut door for a minute or so before Kubetsu blabbed out “Can you get off of me? You are really heavy you oaf.”
       “Oaf? How dare you.”
      “You’re the one who tripped on himself moron. Now get off of me!”
      Tsurai reluctantly got up and walked over to the shelves and grabbed a wash cloth.
      “Hey, untie me now,” Kubetsu ordered as he rolled onto his side.
      Tsurai ignored him and proceeded to wet the cloth and wipe his forehead with cold water. “You just stay there for a while. There’s no where you need to be this late at night." He walked out and began his search for Ikenai. Kubetsu felt as helpless as he really was. He let the tired feeling of his body and mind over take him and collapsed in a heap with a sigh to rest.
      Ikenai was found lying on his bed again. Tsurai sat next to him and began to stroke his hair. "Why is he still here? Can't he go away? Both of you just barged in and said you where staying," he complained and sunk deeper into his pillow.
      “I came here by myself from Hokkaido and had been living on my own, so when I was kicked out, I didn't know where I could stay. I thought it was luck that I had some reason to stay here, I didn’t want to return."
      He sat to himself looking off into the wall. Ikenai wrapped his arms around Tsurai's neck and held him to his chest. Tsurai dropped into it with relief.
      "Speaking of Kubetsu, where is he?"
      "In the bathroom. I hadn't untied him yet. I told he could stay there for a while."
      "Why isn't he screaming? Or is he gagged?"
      "He probably knows that no one is going to go untie him even if he does scream."
      Ikenai had gotten up and popped his head into the doorway. Kubetsu had rolled on to his front and was snoring almost happily, a small smile was playing his lips as a bit of drool crawled out. Ikenai grabbed a towel on his way to Kubetsu and laid it on top after he undid the shirt. He gathered up the miscellaneous articles of clothing and put them into the clothes hamper.
      Ikenai walked out of the bathroom with the basket in hand as Tsurai was walking out of the bedroom. Without warning, the basket slipped from Ikenai's hands as he began to sway to the side. Instinctively Tsurai reached his arms out and caught Ikenai. He went down to his knees, unable to keep him up in the weak position.
      "Nezumi-san!" he shouted Ikenai's head rolled and a small moan escaped.
       "Hai?" he squeaked meekly. A sigh a of relief came from him while he still clutched the other boy.
      "I just think I'm hungry. Once I get something to eat I should be fine." Ikenai said wearily before he got up.
      "Have you eaten anything yet?" Tsurai said.
      "Uhhh... no now that I think about it." Ikenai replied, leaving Tsurai's grip.
      Tsurai moved the basket away and gave him the wall to leen upon"Then I'll make something," he said as he walked over to the fridge and began to dig through it.
      There wasn't very much, other than the tea, everything was either a condiment or food that need a bit a of preparing. 'The tea should be enough while I go get something;' Tsurai thought as he pulled the pitcher off the shelf. He had turned around to see Ikenai pulling out utensils to make some food.
      "No," he nearly shouted, startling Ikenai. "You should be resting. You over exert yourself all the time."
      "But..."
      "No. No butts. Sit at the table and drink some tea. I'll run out real quick and get some food from the convinence store."
