It was all so sudden—he didn’t really think Yuichi would take to it so easily! And didn’t Yuichi have a class next period?

“Yuichi, it’s third period…”

“Huh? Weren’t you listening?” Yuichi turned around, still gripping Kanae’s wrist. He closed in on Kanae, moving his lips close, too close to the other boy’s ear. Kanae’s whole body tingled at the feeling of Yuichi’s soft breath on his skin. Yuichi chuckled. “You’re so sensitive. You know, I’m looking forward to it.”

Again Kanae felt that hot breath blowing gently over the sensitive flesh of his ear, and it seemed as if all the strength left his body. He had no idea that something so simple would have this much effect on his body.

His ear was still warm from Yuichi’s breathing.

“I want it now, so I’m going to do it now. Lectures can go to hell. Should we go to my place or yours?”

“I-I don’t mind…”

No-no… It’s not that I don’t mind! Far from it!

Did he really just offer himself to Yuichi?

“Well, we’ll go to mine then, it’s closer. We’ll be able to fuck sooner.”

With that, Yuichi nibbled gently on Kanae’s earlobe, making his friend’s body shake in anticipation.

“Mmm…how cute. Your ears are so soft. And just wait ‘til I get to the other soft parts…”

Yuichi traced Kanae’s lips with his finger. Kanae let out a little gasp; his body was already excited by Yuichi caressing his ear.

“I’m going to make you feel like the pleasure is going to kill you. I’ll expect you to do the same for me…”

Kanae was beginning to understand why Yuichi had so many girlfriends despite his obnoxious character. He didn’t know anyone as bad-tempered and foul-mouthed as Yuichi.

Kanae just nodded and allowed his friend to pull him along. He’d taken the plunge, and now there was no time for second thoughts.

Pretend that it was all a joke, pretend that he’d been with a boy before—he had to try his best, for if Yuichi found out that he was a virgin, everything would end in an instant. Sex with a virgin would be awkward and boring, which was definitely not what Yuichi wanted. He wanted pleasure only; taking a virgin was too much responsibility.

As he looked at Yuichi’s back, Kanae was determined to try.

He’d do anything to be held by Yuichi. He’d have to pretend that it wasn’t his first time.

Yuichi and Kanae first met at the beginning of the second year of college, at the school canteen.

“Why don’t you lot just cut it out?”

The voice was loud and sudden. Kanae, thinking that it couldn’t possibly be addressing him, continued to sip his tea absent-mindedly. The room that was once full of chattering and clattering instantly fell silent to the point where he could even hear whispering.

Hey? What the hell is going on?

He had been trying to coolly ignore the classmates in front of him, who, like most of his other peers, sought to entertain themselves by picking on him. But now their malicious expressions were gone, replaced instead with gaping expressions.
