Work Text:
Yoshiki is already breathless. His ribs ache from the frantic drumming of his heart, his skin feeling paper-thin where it’s pulled tight over bone. While sweat cools in the hollow of his spine, his chest still radiates a stubborn, trapped heat. The ghost of Hikaru’s touch lingers everywhere: the burning tingle on his scalp, the heavy pressure imprints on his hips, and those plum-dark blooms rising along his ribs like fruit bruised by a hunger too urgent to be gentle.
Hikaru's hands guide him down onto the mattress and for a second Yoshiki thinks they're stopping. That they'll lie here, catch their breath, let everything settle back on axis without talking about it. Like they always do.
But Hikaru keeps moving him. Adjusting him with a terrifying gentleness. Yoshiki's shoulders hit the mattress and then Hikaru's fingers are behind his head, cradling, tilting him backward and back and back until there's nothing supporting his skull but air and Hikaru's palm.
The world tips. Yoshiki's stomach drops like he's missed a step in the dark. That awful swoop of freefall, gravity yanking everything inside him downward while his body stays still. His head drops over the edge, the ceiling swims into view where the floor should be. Everything inverts.
"Wait—"
Blood floods his head, pooling heavy behind his eyes. His temples throb with a pressure that makes his teeth feel strange. The room above wavers, while a cold, electric static prickles across his vulnerable scalp.
Hikaru appears in his vision, inverted. All wrong and all right at the same time.
Those eyes. Storm-gray and fathomless, the color of deep water just before it turns to black. The same eyes from that day when everything changed. When Hikaru had looked at him like he was seeing him for the first time, something he'd discovered and immediately hoarded. A look that anchored them together long before they had the words to name the weight.
That same hunger. That same terrible, beautiful want pulling taut between them.
Hikaru's gaze doesn't waver. Holds him there, pinned and helpless.
Through the closed window, the city presses in. Distant traffic. Amber glow from nearby buildings painting the ceiling. A passing car's headlights catch Hikaru's eyes, turning them reflective and inhuman before plunging back into shadow. The AC unit hums its losing battle against the room's stifling density. The motel smells sterile—cleaning solution and laundered sheets, the nothing-scent of a place designed to be forgotten.
That’s about to change.
Under Hikaru's gaze, the ordinary warps. The safe becomes strange. The room stops being just that and becomes this: Yoshiki on his back, throat exposed, and Hikaru above him with those eyes that make normal things feel like a fever dream.
Hikaru's cock is right there. Level with Yoshiki's face. Close enough that Yoshiki feels the heat radiating from it before it even touches him.
This is different from before, from when they were young and fumbling through it together. Back then it was mutual. Now it's a total, lopsided surrender.
His face blazes, shame creeping up his neck.
But his body doesn't care. Saliva floods his mouth in a sudden rush. It pools under his tongue, forcing him to swallow. His lips part slightly, a small, unconscious gesture.
And his throat does that terrible, traitorous thing: it relaxes from the inside, the soft palate lifting, his pharynx widening in a silent welcome. His body preparing itself like this is what it was made for.
He's Pavlov's dog, salivating on command. His eyes sting with the realization.
He shouldn't want this. Shouldn't need it like this. It's degrading and dirty.
What's wrong with him?
Hikaru's thumb brushes Yoshiki's jaw, a brief grounding weight before the plunge. His hand shakes, barely, just for a second. Easy to pretend it didn't happen. "Open."
Yoshiki hesitates. His jaw feels locked, refusing to yield even as the rest of his body has already given in. Shame and want warring inside him.
He should have known this would happen. After the disaster reunion dinner, after their fight in the forest turned into kissing—he should have known he couldn't be around Hikaru without falling apart.
Without becoming this.
He opens his mouth anyway. Lets his jaw drop, tongue falling out.
Hikaru doesn't push in yet. Just rests the head of his cock on Yoshiki's tongue, letting him taste.
Salt bursts across his tongue, then something underneath—faintly metallic. Bitter and sweet mixing together. He tastes sweat, skin, the warm slick of precome coating his palate, thicker and stronger than he remembers. The taste fills his mouth and his tongue works without thinking, chasing more.
Velvet-soft skin stretched over rigid hardness. Heavy on his tongue. Heat and musk are all he tastes, all he breathes. There's a vein on the underside that pulses with Hikaru's heartbeat.
He traces it. Slowly. Feeling each throb. His body knows this—knows Hikaru—even after everything.
The wrongness of enjoying this so much makes his face burn, his lips sting where they stretch around Hikaru. But he can't stop. His tongue explores every ridge, every texture. The smoothness of the head contrasts with the slight roughness where shaft meets glans.
Disgusting. The word echoes in his head. You're disgusting for wanting this.
"So eager," Hikaru murmurs. His hand comes down to trace Yoshiki's lips wrapped tight around him, swollen and glossy with spit. His fingertips are cool compared to the heat of his cock—he must have been holding the cold water bottle earlier. The touch lingers. His thumb rests at the corner of Yoshiki's mouth. "Still so eager. Like nothing's changed."
He pulls back completely.
Yoshiki whimpers and the sound is mortifying. His tongue chases air uselessly, and the absence makes him feel worse. Cold and empty and desperate.
God, he's pathetic.
But arousal pulses hot between his legs anyway.
"Please."
In response, Hikaru drags just the tip of his cock across Yoshiki's lower lip. Then slaps it lightly against his blazing cheek.
The wet sound is obscene—a sharp smack followed by the tacky pull of precome on skin. The impact stings slightly, it doesn't hurt, but the humiliation of it does.
"Wider."
Something in Yoshiki's mind fractures. He's opening his mouth wider. For this. Because Hikaru told him to. He's going to apply for a masters degree. He's studying to become a teacher. He left Kubitachi to become someone else.
And he's opening his mouth wider so Hikaru can slap his cock against his tongue.
The last piece of who he thought he was crumbles.
He opens wider.
Hikaru slaps his cock against Yoshiki's tongue once. The taste floods back into his mouth for just a second; salt and bitter exploding then vanishing.
Another slap. This time against his other cheek. The sound is different—wetter, louder. Precome smears across sensitive skin, immediately cooling.
Yoshiki's lips press together in a thin line. They feel feverish, tight where the precome has dried and pulled the skin taut.
It should burn clean, cauterize and leave him empty—ready to leave. Instead, it ferments. Rots sweet in his gut like fruit left too long in summer heat, splitting open to release something thick and overripe. He's carried this sickness for years—this wrongness, this aberration coiled in his marrow—and Hikaru is always doing what Yoshiki would never dare ask for. What he doesn't have words to ask even in the privacy of his own brain. And that makes it worse. Makes the rot spread faster, sweeter, until he can taste it on the back of his tongue. Shame tastes like sweat, desire smells like Hikaru's pelvis.
He still has some fucking dignity. Some pride. He's not just—he's not—
Slap. Against his closed lips.
The tip of his tongue emerges before he can think better of it. Shy at first, barely visible, tasting the smear left behind. Sweat and precome mixing on his tongue, bitter-sweet and warm. His tongue grows bolder, sliding along, chasing the flavor deeper into the corners of his mouth where it's pooled.
"You think you can just—" Hikaru's voice is rough. "After tonight? After showing up at Asako's dinner like it would be fine. Like we'd both be adults about it. Like you wouldn't look at me and I wouldn't—" He cuts himself off. "After sitting there talking about Tokyo like I'm supposed to be happy for you?"
He continues dragging his cock across Yoshiki's lips. Back and forth. Each pass leaves more wetness that the AC immediately starts evaporating. Yoshiki's lips feel tight and sticky.
He'd thought it would be safe. Thought two years was long enough. Thought he'd see Hikaru across Asako's table and feel nothing but nostalgia. Thought they'd both matured past whatever they'd been. Then Hikaru arrived late, took one look at him, and something cracked in the air between them. They'd lasted twenty minutes before fighting about nothing. Before Yoshiki followed him outside. Before they ended up in the forest with Hikaru's hands in his hair and his back against a tree. Before the drive here in Hikaru's truck—silent, tense, charged—and everything he'd built in Tokyo turned to dust.
"Look at you," Hikaru says. "So needy already. Panting for it."
Yoshiki makes a small, wounded sound.
It's true. God, it's true. He came back and within hours he's on his back with Hikaru's cock in his face and he wants it so badly he can't breathe right.
What does that make him?
Air wheezes painfully in his lungs while his chest expands and contracts trying to keep up with his heart. Each inhale brings Hikaru's scent—musk and sweat, but underneath there's the faint smell of bath salts. Something floral trying and failing to mask pure sex.
His erection strains against his stomach, untouched. A bead of precome wells at his slit, rolls down his left side, leaves a warm trail that cools immediately over his overheated skin.
The contrast sends a shiver through his spine.
"Tell me what you want," Hikaru says.
The words stick in Yoshiki's throat. He can't. Can't admit how much he's missed this. Missed Hikaru.
But his hips arch anyway. His mouth opens wider and his tongue stays out. Pink and wet and exposed.
A siren wails past outside. Yoshiki flinches. The movement tilts his head further back and Hikaru's cock drags across his lips again.
"I want—" his voice cracks. "I need you—"
"Need what?" Hikaru presses. "Say it properly."
"Need you in my mouth." Yoshiki's face burns. "Need to taste you. Need—need to feel you in my throat."
Hikaru drags his cock over Yoshiki's nose now. Resting it over the bridge.
The smell is overwhelming this close. Pure Hikaru—musk and clean sweat. It floods his senses, clouds his brain.
"Why?"
"Because—" His voice breaks completely. "Because I want you— All of you"
He hears himself say it and fire races through his veins. Pride and terror, inseparable.
Hikaru pulls his cock away.
"Hikaru—" Yoshiki's voice is barely there now. "Please—I can't—"
Words are failing him. Dissolving into desperate sounds.
"Be honest," Hikaru says. "Tell me what you really want."
"Your cock—" It comes out wrecked. Pleading. "Always wanted it—don't make me—I can't—"
He's babbling now. Incoherent. Past shame. Past dignity.
"I'll do anything—just please—I need—Hikaru please—"
His whole body trembles. Tears prick at his eyes just from this—from being denied. From wanting it so fiercely.
"Shh." Hikaru's voice softens. Just slightly. "I know. I know you do."
He finally rests his cock on Yoshiki's mouth again, but doesn't push in. Lets it sit there, heavy and hot. The weight settled over his tongue like a benediction.
Yoshiki whimpers with relief. Each pulse of Hikaru's heartbeat travels through his cock into Yoshiki's mouth. Thump, thump, thump—like Hikaru's heart is beating directly against his tongue.
The intimacy of it tightens painfully in his chest.
"Don't move," Hikaru instructs. "Just feel it."
Yoshiki stays frozen. The weight on his tongue is maddening. The texture of skin, the heat radiating into his mouth. Can taste as precome leaks steadily now—the flavor getting stronger, more concentrated. Less sweet, more salt and bitter.
His own saliva underneath, mixing. The combination tastes like sin.
Down the hall, a door closes. The elevator dings. Someone's footsteps pass by their room. The sounds make Yoshiki hyperaware of where he is, what he's doing.
"Swallow."
Yoshiki does. His throat works, and the movement makes Hikaru groan.
"Again."
Yoshiki swallows again. His throat muscles ripple. He feels them pulling, working, even though there's nothing to swallow but his own spit and Hikaru's precome.
"Good," Hikaru praises. "Now—lick it. Show me what that tongue can do."
The permission breaks the last restraint. His tongue comes alive. No more hesitation.
He licks the underside in long, slow strokes. The vein there pulses under his tongue—Hikaru's heartbeat accelerating, precome flowing faster when Yoshiki finds sensitive spots.
He circles the head, flicks rapidly over the slit. The flavor bursts stronger here, more bitter, almost medicinal. His tongue dips inside and Hikaru's hips jerk.
"Fuck," Hikaru breathes. "Yes. Like that."
So Yoshiki does it again, pressing deeper, tasting the source. That faint sweetness of skin underneath the bitter.
"Eyes open," Hikaru commands. "Look at me while you worship my cock."
Yoshiki's eyes snap open. From this upside-down angle, Hikaru is all he can see—his tight expression, the ceiling behind him. The flush spreading down from his neck to his collarbones, staining his skin pink. His stomach muscles flexing with each breath. The lines of his hips, the trail of light hair leading down.
Beautiful. The word surfaces unbidden. Hikaru is beautiful and Yoshiki shouldn't be thinking that—shouldn't feel heat pooling low in his gut just from looking at him—but he can't stop cataloging every detail. The way Hikaru's breathing is already unsteady. The slight tremor in his thighs.
Yoshiki's cock throbs against his stomach, untouched but aching. Just from watching. Just from knowing he's doing this to Hikaru.
Hikaru's words still echo in his skull. Worship. That's what he's doing. On his back, head hanging off the bed, tongue working frantically like this is all he's good for.
Two years in Tokyo trying to be normal. Gone. Obliterated.
There is no normal. There's only this. Only Hikaru. Only the truth of what he is.
"That's it," Hikaru encourages. "Show me how much you love it."
Yoshiki works harder. Licking, sucking at the head, using the flat of his tongue to press against the sensitive underside. There's a spot just beneath it that makes Hikaru gasp—Yoshiki focuses there. Teases it with the tip of his tongue, then soothes it with broad strokes.
His jaw is already cramping but he doesn't care.
"I want more now." Hikaru pulls back. His voice is rough. "Want to feel that throat. You ready?"
Yoshiki's stomach twists. This is it. He should stop now, before he degrades himself even further.
But his body responds anyway.
"Yes—" Yoshiki gasps. "Yes, please—"
"Take a deep breath."
Yoshiki does. Fills his lungs. The air tastes like sex and motel and Hikaru.
Then Hikaru pushes in.
With Yoshiki's head tipped back, his throat is a straight line. Hikaru's cock slides past his tongue—the texture dragging, velvet on velvet—over his soft palate where it feels almost ticklish, then into his throat.
The stretch is immediate. His throat tries to reject it but he forces himself to relax. Opens himself.
The taste changes as Hikaru goes deeper. Less concentrated on his tongue, but he can feel it sliding down, coating his throat. The bitterness floods his senses from the inside.
"Fuck," Hikaru groans. "Your throat—so hot—"
He pushes deeper. Yoshiki's throat stretches. The burn is specific now—not just general pain but a searing ache on the right side where Hikaru's cock presses against the wall of his esophagus. A duller throb on the left. The stretch pulling at the muscles of his jaw in a way that makes his teeth ache.
Deeper still. Until Hikaru's balls press against Yoshiki's nose and the coarse hair scratches his skin.
He can smell everything now—pure animal musk, stronger than before. Sweat and arousal, the bath salts failing to mask it.
He can't breathe. But the lack of air makes everything more intense somehow. The sounds of the motel feel amplified—someone's TV muffled through walls, the AC humming, the bed starting to creak under them.
"I can feel it," Hikaru's voice shakes.
And Yoshiki feels it too, from the inside. The stretch is so extreme it bulges under the skin. Hikaru's palm finds the shape from the outside, fingers tracing the outline. Cock on one side of the skin, hand on the other. Touching himself through Yoshiki. The pressure makes him want to scream.
"Can you feel me?" Hikaru asks. His thumb strokes over the bulge. "Can you feel how deep I am? I'm in your throat, 'shiki. In your fucking throat."
Yoshiki moans. The vibration travels up Hikaru's shaft and makes him curse. His hands grip Hikaru's thighs harder—muscle tense and flexed under his palms.
"Tell me how much—oh wait." Hikaru's tone is cruel, mocking. "You can't answer right now, can you?"
The burn in his lungs is building. Not panic yet, but awareness. His pulse pounds in his ears—loud enough to drown out the sounds from outside.
Hikaru pulls back just enough for Yoshiki to gasp.
"Did you think about this?" Hikaru asks. "In Tokyo? Did you think about me when you were—"
"I—" His voice is destroyed. "Hika—"
Hikaru slams back in before he can finish. Cuts off the answers to his own question.
"Don't talk. Just take it."
Oxygen floods his lungs briefly. Drool pours from his mouth in thick strings—warm as it leaves him, cooling rapidly as it slides up his face. One strand lands in his left eye, mixing with tears, blurring his vision.
More drool gets in his nose and he coughs. The convulsion sends rapid contractions through his throat around Hikaru's cock.
"Breathe," Hikaru instructs. His hand is gentle on Yoshiki's throat now, feeling his gasps. "You get five seconds. Make them count."
Yoshiki manages three frantic inhales.
"Time's up."
Hikaru pushes back in. Faster this time.
The slide is easier now. His throat remembers, opens for it. But it still aches—that searing pressure that makes tension coil in his pelvis.
The blood pooled in his head makes everything feel surreal. Floaty. His vision swims at the edges. The pressure behind his eyes is constant now, a dull throb that pounds in time with Hikaru's thrusts.
He's so dizzy he's not sure which way is up anymore. Not sure if he's lying down or falling. The disorientation makes the pleasure more powerful. Makes everything feel like a fever dream.
"Such a good boy," Hikaru says. "Learning so fast. Your throat opens right up for me now. Like it knows it belongs to my cock."
He starts to move properly. Slow, long strokes. Yoshiki's throat works around him with each movement—swallowing reflexively, trying to accommodate.
The sounds are obscene: wet gagging at different pitches depending on angle, the slap of Hikaru's balls against his face building into rhythm, his own choked moans mixing with the squelch of spit and precome. Underneath it all, the bed creaks and the headboard taps the wall—thud-thud-thud matching Hikaru's thrusts.
"Look at you," Hikaru's voice is getting rougher, his thrusts faster. "Tears streaming down your face. Drool everywhere. Spit running into your nose. And you love it, don't you? You fucking love being used like this."
Yes. The word screams through Yoshiki's mind but can't make it past the cock in his throat. Yes yes yes.
His cock throbs violently against his stomach, smearing precome everywhere. His hips buck uselessly into nothing. He's not being touched. Hikaru isn't touching him. But pleasure floods through him anyway, radiating from his throat, from the degradation, from being exactly what Hikaru says he is.
He's losing his mind. He must be. Because this feels better than anything ever has.
Hot tears leak from his eyes, cooling as they run into his hairline, blurring his vision. Drool coats his face, getting in his nose, making each inhale wet and rattling. Some drips onto the sheets beneath his head.
His erection aches against his stomach—the head so sensitive that even the brush of air makes it twitch. Precome has created a puddle on his abs, running down his sides. Warm, then cool, then cold as it reaches the sheets.
"Touch yourself," Hikaru says.
He wraps his fingers around himself immediately.
The sensation is overwhelming. His palm is smooth but his cock is slicker—coated in precome. The contrast between the drag at the base and the slippery glide at the head jerks his hips.
Hikaru's thrusts are getting rougher. Each one draws a gag from Yoshiki.
But even choking, Yoshiki's tongue keeps working. When Hikaru pulls back enough, he licks frantically.
Hikaru's free hand finds Yoshiki's chest. His fingers trace over a bruise on Yoshiki's ribs, red and tender from where Hikaru shoved him against a tree earlier. He presses into it deliberately. The pain flares bright and Yoshiki gasps around the cock in his throat. Then Hikaru moves to his nipple, circling once before pinching hard. The sting shoots straight to Yoshiki's cock. He arches despite the weight holding him down. Hikaru doesn't let go. Rolls the sensitive bud between his fingers, tugging, and the mix of pleasure-pain forces a high, desperate whine. His palm slides down, spreading across Yoshiki's abs to feel them clench with every thrust into his throat.
His own grip tightens, strokes faster, harder. The ridge of his head drags against his palm, his frenulum burns, his balls draw up tight against his body.
"You're going to come from this," Hikaru says, pressing flat against Yoshiki's stomach where the muscles jump and spasm. "From just having your throat fucked like a whore."
Liquid heat floods his groin in a dizzying rush.
Hikaru isn't even looking at his face anymore. Eyes closed, head tilted back. Chasing his own orgasm without a second thought for Yoshiki choking beneath him. Yoshiki could be anyone, anything. He's just a body part right now—just a throat, a convenient tight hole for Hikaru to fuck. And God, that shouldn't be hot. But he's leaking so much his hand slides effortlessly, and the thought of being used by Hikaru makes him want to come.
"Remember the first time?" Hikaru pants. His rhythm stutters. "We didn't know what we were doing. Figured it out together." His hand spreads across Yoshiki's throat, thumb on one side of his windpipe, fingers on the other. Cradling it. "And then you left me. But you always come back to me, don't you?"
The words hit Yoshiki in the chest. Guilt and need and love all tangled together.
Suddenly Hikaru stops. Pulls out completely. His cock is right there, glistening, but not touching.
Yoshiki's hand stutters to a stop. Empty mouth. Empty hand. He must look wanton and desperate. Stupid.
"You miss it," Hikaru breathes. "Miss choking on my cock. Miss being mine."
"Yes—" The word rips out of him. "Yes—all of it—please—I can't—" His hips jerk, seeking contact. "Hikaru—"
"I know." Hikaru's voice softens. "I know exactly what you need. I've always known."
He slams back in. Harder than before.
Yoshiki's close. He feels it building deep in his pelvis, not in his cock but somewhere more primal. A tightness climbing his spine, curling his toes against the sheets.
His hand finds his cock again. The edge approaches fast. His balls are so tight they ache, pulled up hard against his body. His cock jumps with each brutal thrust into his throat.
His head spins from the blood pooled there, from oxygen deprivation, from Hikaru pounding into him without mercy. The room tilts. Everything feels distant and immediate at once.
He might pass out. He might come. He can't tell the difference anymore.
Desperate animal sounds pour out of him. Broken whimpers and choked moans he doesn't recognize as his own.
"Close?" Hikaru pants. "You're close. I can tell. Can feel how desperate you are."
Yoshiki tries to nod. Can't. Just moans louder.
"I'm getting close too," Hikaru warns. "Gonna fill your throat. Gonna come so deep you won't even taste it. You want that?"
His free hand comes up to Hikaru's ass—muscle tense under his palm, trembling slightly. He pulls Hikaru deeper.
Yes. Mark me. Claim me. Make me yours.
His thrusts are brutal now. Fast and deep. The bed slams hard against the wall.
Each thrust draws a gag from Yoshiki, sends more tears streaming, drives his hand faster on his cock.
"That's it," Hikaru's voice is wrecked. "Take it. Choke on it. You're so—fuck—" His rhythm breaks completely. Three shallow, desperate thrusts. "—so perfect for this—made for this—"
He buries himself as deep as possible.
Yoshiki's throat convulses around him. He can't breathe at all. His lungs are screaming. Black spots dance in his vision.
Then he feels it. The pulse of Hikaru's cock. Once, twice, three times.
Hikaru's cum floods him too deep to taste, but the heat is immediate. Shockingly hot against his abused throat, almost burning. Then it cools as it slides deeper. He can track the exact path down his esophagus. Hot, then warm, then tepid, then gone.
Mine, some part of him thinks. He's mine too. Not just me belonging to him. We belong to each other.
He swallows reflexively, his throat working to take it all. But there's so much. It backs up, fills his mouth, spills out around Hikaru's softening cock.
Some comes out his nose. The burn is immediate—acrid and chemical. Makes him gag violently.
But his hand never stops.
Hikaru pulls back—still coming. The next spurts hit Yoshiki's tongue and the taste finally registers. Bitter and salt and slightly metallic. Thicker than expected—coating his tongue, sticking to his teeth.
He swallows it eagerly. The taste sliding down his throat—a trail of bitter warmth.
But Hikaru's aim shifts. One spurt hits Yoshiki directly in the eye.
The sting is sharp and burning as it spreads across his eyelid. His eye seals shut. But his hand keeps moving.
The last few drops land on his face. Warm splatters tracking across his skin—one on his forehead cooling fastest, another on his cheekbone staying warm, the one on his chin the hottest.
"Come for me," Hikaru says. His voice is destroyed but commanding. "Come from having your throat used. Come covered in my cum. Show me what you are. Show me this is what you need."
The words combined with everything else—the taste, the burn, the soreness, the smell of sex in the air—it all crashes over Yoshiki at once.
His orgasm doesn't start in his cock. It starts deeper. In his pelvis, somewhere in his core. In the place where shame and need have been mixed together for so long he can't separate them anymore.
A tightness that suddenly releases.
The sensation spreads up his spine—vertebra by vertebra, climbing upward. His stomach clenches, his thighs shake. Makes his free hand claw at Hikaru's ass, nails digging into tender skin.
Then it reaches his cock and he comes.
His heartbeat migrates south—pounding between his thighs. Each pulse sends cum shooting up. The first spurt hits his chest—hot against sweaty skin, landing just below his collarbone. The second reaches higher, splattering on his neck. The third doesn't make it as far, landing on his sternum.
His cock is so sensitive now it hurts. The pleasure borders on pain, bright and searing. He wants to stop stroking but can't. His hand keeps moving, milking out every last drop until he's making broken, desperate sounds out of his control.
When it finally subsides, he collapses back.
For a few seconds, there's nothing. No thoughts. No reality. Just electricity sparking through his nerves and Hikaru's weight somewhere above him.
The AC hums. A door closes down the hall.
And under all of it—the shame returns. Crashes back like a wave.
What did he just do? What did he just admit? He begged for it. Told Hikaru he was his. Stroked himself desperately while choking on Hikaru's cock and came covered in his cum. The kind of thing he can't unknow about himself now. Can't pretend it was just physical, can't tell himself he only wanted it a little.
Any other time, he'd already be looking for his clothes. Making terrible excuses. Running.
Hikaru's hand is warm and steady on his hip. He doesn't move.
"You okay?" Hikaru's voice breaks through. Sounds worried now.
Yoshiki opens his mouth, but can't manage a response.
"Don't try to talk," Hikaru says quickly. "Your throat—you need water."
He helps Yoshiki sit up carefully. Everything tilts violently as blood rushes out of his head. The pressure behind his eyes becomes piercing pain.
He sways and would have fallen if Hikaru wasn't holding him.
"Easy," Hikaru murmurs. "I've got you."
Then, before Yoshiki can process it, Hikaru leans in. Presses his lips to Yoshiki's forehead—right at the hairline where sweat and tears have mixed.
The kiss is so gentle it doesn't feel real. Hikaru's lips barely touch him, just resting there for a heartbeat. Two. Like he's blessing him or maybe apologizing. Like he's saying everything he can't put into words. Because they never learn how.
When he pulls back, he won't meet Yoshiki's eyes.
He finds water. The plastic bottle crinkles. The sound seems too loud.
The liquid is cold—shocking against Yoshiki's raw throat. He winces but drinks. Each swallow is agony and relief. The cold spreading down his esophagus.
When he can finally see clearly, he looks at Hikaru. Tries to speak again but only a rasp comes out.
"Shh," Hikaru cups his face gently. "Don't talk. Save your voice."
Yoshiki tries anyway. Needs to know. Manages to force out two words: "Was I—"
He can't finish but Hikaru understands.
"Perfect," Hikaru says immediately. His voice is fierce. "You were perfect. Better than perfect. You're all I've ever—" He stops. Swallows hard. His voice wavers."You're incredible. Do you know that? Absolutely incredible."
He leans down and kisses Yoshiki, his lips pillowing against wrecked ones. It isn’t rough or demanding, but a languid, silken exploration, careful of how tender they feel. The kiss tastes like Yoshiki’s tears and Hikaru’s cum and, unexpectedly, like a summer day from their youth.
Tears prick at his eyes again—different tears this time.
Hikaru sees him. All of him. Every part he tried to bury in Tokyo. Every lie he told himself. Every truth his body couldn't deny.
And Yoshiki is greedy for it. For Hikaru's eyes on him like this. For being gutted and known. Every desperate, starving part of him that Tokyo couldn't kill. Let Hikaru see it and want it anyway.
He can't speak. So instead he leans forward, rests his forehead against Hikaru's shoulder.
Hikaru's skin is hot from exertion. Slick with sweat starting to cool. He smells like sex and sweat and something underneath that's just like he remembers.
"I've got you," Hikaru murmurs into his hair. "You did so well. So, so well. I'm so proud of you."
The words make shame and pride war in Yoshiki's chest. He's proud of being good at this. Proud of making Hikaru feel good. Proud of taking everything Hikaru gave him.
He should be ashamed of that pride. Is a little ashamed of it.
But it doesn't make it less true.
They stay like that for a long moment. Yoshiki trying to reconcile what he just did with who he's supposed to be. Failing.
Eventually, Hikaru speaks again.
"Let me clean you up," he says gently. "Then we need to talk about—about what happens next."
He's gentle. Uses tissues to wipe Yoshiki's face. The paper is rough against oversensitive skin. His sealed eye stings when Hikaru carefully cleans it.
Hikaru's fingers ghost over the bruise on his ribs—the one he pressed into earlier. "Sorry about the tree," he mutters.
Yoshiki tries to laugh. It comes out as a broken rasp that makes Hikaru wince.
"Staying," Yoshiki manages. The word is barely sound, just air and pain, but he needs to say it. “I'm staying.”
Hikaru goes very still. "Yoshiki—"
"Tomorrow," Yoshiki whispers. "We'll talk tomorrow. But I'm staying."
Hikaru's hand finds Yoshiki's. Threads their fingers together and squeezes once. Hard.
That's all. No more words. No more confessions tonight.
He helps Yoshiki lie back down, pulls the blanket up. The mattress dips as Hikaru settles beside him.
Evidence of what they did is everywhere. The taste in his mouth. The soreness in his throat. The cum drying on his skin—tacky now, pulling when he moves. The way his jaw aches.
And the knowledge that he loved every second of it. That he'd do it again. That some part of him has been waiting his whole life to feel exactly this wrecked, this used, this perfectly himself.
