“Idiot.” Yuichi was grinning. “Worried?”

“No, not worried.” Kanae pouted. “I’m jealous! How could I not be? You with someone else…”

“Aw… you’re so cute. I never knew that I’d be so happy that the person I loved was jealous. Give me some more of that!”

“No. You’re so mean to me. You know I’m upset…”

“We were arranging an alumni gathering. That’s what we were discussing. We’re going to be meeting some more too. Just the two of us.”

“I hate you!” Kanae gripped the pillow nearest him and then beat Yuichi over the head with it repeatedly. Yuichi begged for mercy.

“No? You don’t want us to meet up?”

“No! I don’t! Surely it can’t just be the two of you organizing it?”

Yuichi could tell that Kanae was about to cry again so he sighed. “Of course there are others. We could never do it with just the two of us. I was teasing. It’s likely that we won’t meet up alone again. We’re going to be in a group. Nothing’s going to happen if there’s a big group of people. I’m not going to do anything that’s going to make you cry, am I? You believe me?”

“…I want to, but…”

“Ok, well let me tell you something good.” Yuichi grinned and whispered in Kanae’s ear. “She’s married. She told me she’s going to be having a baby.”

The second those words registered with Kanae, he threw the pillow at Yuichi. Obviously he didn’t put too much strength into it.

“You knew!! Even though I was so upset! You were so mean!”

“But, it’s so sexy. I couldn’t help myself. Anyway, I want you to get jealous over me. That’s how I know that you’re all mine.” Yuichi’s words were so true. “That’s why you shouldn’t get all these ideas. You still really don’t believe me.”

“But…but…you didn’t say anything about it!”

“I forgot. I got a message from her just as I was thinking of going to class, and then I remembered that I’d promised to meet her. That night I was going to tell you, but you wanted sex like a crazy person. I was wondering what had happened. If I had known that you were jealous, I could have enjoyed it even more. Anyway, can we stop this now? I’m so turned on.” Yuichi was standing at full attention. “All those sweet things you said. Now that you’re naked in front of me, I want to take you now. Do you need any more explanation?”

“…do you love me more than you did her?”

“Aww, so sexy.” Yuichi narrowed his eyes. “If I tell you, will you let me fuck you?”

Kanae nodded, and then Yuichi stroked Kanae’s cheek.

“Nothing can compare to you. I love you more.”

“…thank you.”

Kanae put his hand on top of Yuichi’s.

“I love you too. You’re the one I love most.”

“Make love to me.”

“…okay.”

Kanae nodded.

He wanted so badly to feel Yuichi’s warmth inside him.
