moving on

Kousuke came over as planned on Saturday. He was sad to see Yuichi's eyes still held a haunted look in them , they spent hours listening to music while playing video games. Kousuke had noticed that Yuichi was more relaxed but every now and then he seemed bothered "What's wrong Yuichi ? don't tell me it's nothing every now and then you look as though you've been forced to eat something you dislike" Yuichi sighed "I'm sorry it's just no matter what I do I can still feel her on me , I feel like I'm going crazy" Yuichi held his head in his hands "I don't know how to make it go away" Kousuke took Yuichi's hands in his "do you trust me Yuichi?" shocked by the question Yuichi could only nod at Kousuke a moment " well yea of coarse I trust you" "will you let me take you to see someone I know so you can talk with them ? you don't ghave to decide right now but think about it okay" Yuichi felt his heart race he wasn't sure if he wanted to keep talking about what he had suffered but would it be easier to deal with if he did talk to someone like a therapist."he nodded silently thinking on it Yuichi decided it might actually be a good idea the police had suggested it when he had gone and made a complaint  about s****l harassment and abuse again  his r****t. Tachibana Rei had foolishly thought that with Ichirou's warning they would have dropped everything but she was wrong that was more for his own personal  piece of mind and vengeance. Yuichi originally wasn't going to go to the police to report what had happened as he was embarrassed and ashamed to admit what had happened. He had in the end decided to pursue legal action as a means of winning against his inner demons. He wanted to be a survivor and not some  "lucky number 7 virgin"  victim . He was fighting for his inner self that was suffering from being treated like he was nothing more than a vessel for a person's s****l release.  after twenty minutes of silence  Yuichi finally spoke up " i doubt it could cause any harm at this point so I might as well do it" Kousuke smiled at him  alright  let me see when the person is available and I will get back to you " with his mission set Kousuke got his stuff together to go out and meet this person who would be helping  Yuichi get over his trauma, a week later he met with one of the therapists the cops had recommended him to see in the first place , he also joined a support group to get over what had happened  he found it came easier when he was able to express his dark thoughts on the matter with people who had been in the same  type of situation. over the weeks he had definitely become more comfortable in his skin and  the friendship between Kousuke and himself was stronger than ever before.  

Ichirou knew he would never understand Yuichi's discomfort with women now that he had been molested by one but he knew his brother would overcome it. Ichirou now felt comfortable with the fact that eventually  Kousuke would be his brother's lover even if they were young they should be able to love whomever they wanted to love. He would be lying to deny the fact he hoped his brother would love someone his own age which he knew could still happen but Kousuke was taking good care of Yuichi that was the most important thing to Ichirou so he looked at Kousuke in a new brighter light. Mizuki was aware of the fight Ichirou had fought within himself over his brother and Kousuke being close . Mizuki had always known inside he would put his brother's happiness before his own displeasure, however he hadn't expected Ichirou to accept Kousuke into his family like his own brother. Mizuki watched as Ichirou and Kousuke set tables in Eden rest o bar " Look I know you're his brother but do you have to text him so early on a weekend" Kousuke sighed Ichirou only smiled "maybe you shouldn't go to bed so late then it wouldn't matter what time I text good morning at besides you asked for a job , so take responsibility by showing up on time" Mizuki knew had he been talking to any other employee Ichirou would not be wearing a gentle smile but because it was Kousuke he was nicer than his foul temper often allowed.

 Ichirou had grown accustomed to treating Kousuke like his own little brother; he was a little less tender towards him, suppers had become more lively with the extra mouth to feed and his uncle loved it. The building felt extra warm these last few weeks, the three groups of men could be seen around the building tending to plants or minor repairs in the hallways. They were working on the back garden tonight since in a few months everyone in the building would be enjoying the annual picnic held in the currently barren yard , Mizuki had been more than willing to help tend to the plants which had surprised Ichirou he hadn’t realized his boyfriend was the gardening type. For some people it may not seem that big a jump to assume the feminine male liked gardening  , however Ichirou hadn’t thought he was the type to like gardening since he seemed more likely to be on the computer or reading. Mizuki was beautiful  but he gave the slight impression of being an airhead sometimes . “I heard there will be a family gathering soon at your parents place. Will you be returning home for that?” Ichirou had not moved all the things from his room at his mother's house but there was nothing of importance in that room he had long since taken anything of sentimental value to his studio when he had first got it. “nope some cousins can use my room while they are visiting the younger kids will all be in one room so that other cousins have a place to sleep”  if his uncle or the others were surprised they didn’t say anything. “ I don’t think they will stay too long last time they came down they stayed 2 days then left but I heard Ichirou’s favorite cousin is going to be coming too” he knew Yuichi was teasing him but Ichirou wasn’t in a good mood over hearing his “ favorite cousin” was coming back . It wasn’t that they were on bad terms with each other actually they used to hang out all the time then all of a sudden he stopped coming by to see Ichirou which caused a sore spot for him. “ oh would that be the cousin that dumped him ?”  Ichirou bristled “ I was not dumped by anyone ever!” Mizuki was looking a little curious while Ichirou looked indignant Ren and Yujirou laughed “ he wasn’t dumped after all it’s not like they were dating best friends can’t dump each other”  Yuichi’s expression stated clearly what he was thinking “how do you dump someone you aren’t dating?” his expression made the older men laugh. Ichirou was glad the conversation stopped there.

“So what was that all about?” Ichirou had been wondering when Mizuki would finally ask about the earlier conversation at the rest o bar. As the two of them stopped weeding to have some coffee out of the thermos, Mizuki packed, pouring them a cup Ichirou mulled over the question. “I won’t push you if you don’t want to talk about it I was just curious is all” Mizuki had no idea how sulky he looked Ichirou was sure if he knew he would never let Ichirou see him in such a state, he tried not to smile at how cute his lover was being. Ichirou sighed “I went to the same school Yuki went to since I was in preschool, Yuki already graduated and got a job in a company I understand fully well that working in a company is a lot of work and when you have time off you don’t want to spend it traveling to meet up with a cousin when you can be using that time to go on dates. I’m not bothered by it. We were friends before we ever became cousins. Being cousins just became a perk” Ichirou waited as Mizuki sat next to him silently. “ so then the cousin is Yuki Nakahara?” Ichirou was expecting a different question from the one asked and looked at Mizuki in confusion “huh no it’s Yuki Sakurano my aunts child anyways that stuff was nothing so let's forget about it and go watch a movie together” since they started to date they hadn’t done much alone outside the house or school it would be a good time to go out on a date and just enjoy being together Mizuki seemed happy about it as he smiled up at Ichirou “okay let's go” holding his hand out to Mizuki  Ichirou smiled down at his most beloved boyfriend and promised to himself  Mizuki would have a wonderful time with him .There were many movies Mizuki wanted to see playing at the theater and in the end they watched several of them. "Wow those were awesome movies thank you Ichirou! I love you" Mizuki smiled up at his boyfriend happily Ichirou smiled at his boyfriend "anything that makes you happy makes me happy too" rolling his eyes Mizuki looked away blushing. The two teens walked side by side smiling to themselves in no hurry to head back to the apartment complex "well, well if it isn't our two fugitives" the teens jumped at the familiar sound of Ren's voice Mizuki wore a meek expression while Ichirou looked nonchalant.

As the older couple looked at them Ichirou spoke up  "did you need us for something if you don't we will be continuing our date now" the two older men looked impressed that Ichirou would say such a thing out loud in a crowd of people. Mizuki was blushing a bright scarlet as people looked at him "can we go somewhere with less people to gawk at us" it was apparent Mizuki was feeling awkward "no it's okay you guys can get back to your business we will talk to you guys at home later" Yujirou smiled apologetically at Mizuki ``sorry for interrupting your time together" Ren looked as though he found the whole situation humorous much to Ichirou's displeasure. Going their separate ways the two couples continued to make their ways through the busy streets, "Want to go have a meal at that little restaurant you mentioned last week" Mizuki looked at Ichirou touched by how attentive and sweet he was being with him. Mizuki really wanted to go to that restaurant but he knew Ichirou didn't like going to crowded places, like him Ichirou preferred places where you could bring someone and hold a conversation with them without yelling over the noise, he also liked places with a calm ambiance. Even though he knew that this new Sushi place had received such good reviews it would be a waste to not go . Mizuki smiled to himself knowing as long as he wanted to go Ichirou would go with him " I'd love to go but only if we split the cost, I love you but I don't want you paying for everything just because you make more money than me" the perplexed look on Ichirou's face would have made him laugh if he hadn't known how Ichirou would react to it. "I don't get what you are saying I mean the whole idea of going out today was to spoil you while spending time out on a date so why shouldn't I pay for my boyfriend to have a good time with me? I don't care if my wallet is thicker than yours my only goal was to see that beautiful smile I love so much" Mizuki realized he had somehow hurt his boyfriends pride "I'm sorry to make it up to you , I'll let you buy me supper at that new Sushi Bar restaurant" Mizuki smiled up at his sullen boyfriend trying to put as much cuteness into his expression as he could. "You know I can't argue with you when you look at me like that" he leaned in closer to Mizuki suddenly with a glint in his eye "honestly looking so seductively at me makes me want to drag you into an alley and have my dirty way with your sexy body" as his breath wet Mizuki's ear he felt his body warm and shivered slightly. Mizuki could feel himself getting excited, licking his lips and he waited for Ichirou's next move. "Well what do you know we're right next to a very dark alley you really want me to violate you out here don't you Mizuki I can feel your body begging me for it" as he spoke Ichirou's hand made its way into Mizuki's pants "oh what's this someone's anxious for my touch huh" chuckling Ichirou moved him a little deeper into the alley making sure no prying eyes could see what they were about to do
