Chapter 8: Fly me to the moon

Ritsuka woke up by many gently kisses placed onto his lips. As he opened his eyes he looked right into Soubi's. The man noticed he had finally woken the younger one and kissed him on his forehead.

"Good morning, Ritsuka," Soubi hushed, wrapping his arms around the boy's waist. "You have to get up for school."

"Mh... I don't want to..." the boy answered sleepily.

"You have to..." Soubi tried to tease him by running his hand up and down his back gently.

Ritsuka responded by just rolling over, turning his back on the older one. His look fell onto the alarm clock.

"Oh, come on, it's just 6 a. m.! I got more than an hour left to get up," he mumbled.

"You won't sleep anymore anyways," the man teased him. "And I know exactly how to get you awake..." he clung to the body of the younger one and let his hand run down the still naked, small body. He nuzzled softly at Ritsuka's nipples, causing them to get hard, while he placed more kisses onto the boy's neck. When he sucked onto one particular spot a little bit too hard, he realized he left a love bite on the sensitive skin, and he chuckled. Then he moved his hand down the younger one's abdomen, closing his fingers around the once again hard cock.

"Oh, are you horny again?" Ritsuka asked amused and fully awake by now.

"Let's just say, I can't get enough of you," Soubi answered winking. He felt the boy in his arms relax and enjoy the touch of his hand. They both loved a little relief like this in the morning.

Ritsuka turned over to lay his hands on the man's cock as well and that way they satisfied each other before the sun had even risen again.

However, they both fell asleep again after that until the alarm clock rang at 7 a. m. as always. The black-haired male yawned and left the bed with one last glance at Soubi, whose hair was spread all over the pillow. He looked wonderful in the light of the rising sun. But it was time for school, so the boy sighed and went to the bathroom.

As he first looked into the mirror, he was shocked. Of course, his ears were gone, they had to be, but seeing himself without his ears for the first time really startled him. He looked different, in a creepy way more like Seimei. 'Maybe because I am an adult now,' he thought to himself. 'Seimei always seemed so grown-up and not like a child, even if he still had his ears.'

Suddenly Soubi was standing behind him, laying his arms around the boy's shoulders, their eyes met in the mirror.

"Now we can't hide it anymore," he said.

"Oh, don't worry. I don't want to hide it anymore," the younger one replied smiling. "If you're okay with that...?"

"Of course I am," the man left a short kiss on his head. "You will be asked frequently today what happened, get yourself prepared..."

As Ritsuka walked towards the school yard, he got increasingly nervous. How would they react? Especially Yuiko and Yayoi... both of his friends were waiting for him already.

"Good morning, Ritsuka-kun!" Yuiko was shouting, waving her arm across the street.

"Good morning," he replied smiling as soon as he reached them.

Yayoi just stared at him in surprise and didn't speak a single word. It took a little while until Yuiko realized what was different and why Yayoi was so confused.

"Ritsuka-kun! Y-Your..- your ears!" she stuttered. "What happened?"

The young man didn't know where to begin. He caught himself smiling happily at the girl. "A gentleman never tells..." he grinned.

"Oh come on! Can't you tell us at least who it was? What was her name?" she demanded, seeming a little bit jealous.

He smirked. "I can't tell you her name..."

Yuiko looked at him puzzled. Yayoi still couldn't say a word, but it seemed he got the hint. Finally, the scales fell from the girl's eyes.

"Oh, don't tell me it was... Soubi...?"

Ritsuka just nodded, still brightly grinning. His friends just stared at him in wonder and disbelief.

When Ritsuka left school that day, he felt relieved. No one else had said anything to him about his ears, the teachers noticed it but didn't ask him about it. 'Thank god that I wasn't the first one to loose the ears,' he thought to himself. There were already a few students in his class who had no ears anymore. It was nothing special to the teachers and the fellow students.

Soubi was waiting for him, as always, and he was so happy to see his boyfriend at last. He felt so nervous and tensed all day.

The blonde male lay his arm around the boy's shoulders as they walked down the street. "How was it? Did anyone bother you too much with any questions?"

"No, not at all, thank god," Ritsuka replied, "Yuiko and Yayoi seemed shocked, but at last they were very happy for us!"

"It's good to hear that. But now there's still Kio left, who doesn't know anything. He will visit us this afternoon."

The boy chuckled. "I'm looking forward to seeing his reaction!"

As they arrived at Soubi's a few minutes later, Kio was already sitting on the front stairs, waiting for them. He saw the two men approaching from the distance and rose up, lifting his bags. But the nearer they got, the more Kio got confused. Something unusual bothered him, like if something didn't fit. When Ritsuka finally stood in front of him, he noticed it. No ears.

"Soubi- what have you done?" he turned to the blonde male upset.

"Nothing he didn't want to," he smiled, his arm still wrapped around the boy's shoulder.

"So that means... you're a couple now?" Kio snapped his eyes open.

Both of them were turning to each other, their eyes met and Ritsuka answered: "Yes, we are."

"We're lovers," Soubi added. "And not only since yesterday, don't worry." He grinned at the still startled Kio, who began to laugh out loud.

"I knew it!" he shouted. "You always seemed like a couple, I almost thought I was getting crazy. So I was right, I can't believe it." He shook his head. "But I never thought you would go that far. Or, well, at least maybe a little later. But as long as you're happy..."

"Yes, we are," Ritsuka and Soubi said simultaneously, before they looked at each other once again in surprise, wondering about their reaction. The older one smiled happily and kissed the black-haired male in front of Kio's eyes, which made Ritsuka blush badly.

"Hey, would you please wait at least until we're inside the apartment?" Kio winked and turned around.
