Chapter 2 (cont.)

Two months have passed since Rei moved in with the Sena family, and Izumi has latched right on to him. Rei doesn’t have much to do right now since Nagisa has her own manager and Seiya is busy writing songs for a production of his, so his job mostly consists of…babysitting Izumi.

Izumi shows him a picture he’s working on (I’ll let you imagine how horrible it looks rather than describing it), and Rei is studying a textbook on bookkeeping, with the intent to somehow become of use to Seiya, since he feels he’s been taking advantage of his hospitality. Seiya walks in at this point with something to give Rei–a pamphlet for a local correspondence college. With this, he can ‘attend’ classes as well as continue his job with the Sena family. Seiya offers to pay his tuition as long as Rei works hard in return–and Rei is so happy he could cry. Seiya is someone who would give Rei anything he desires. He wonders if this is what it feels like to have a father.

Izumi, hearing their conversation, questions what college is, and at Rei’s explanation, he seems worried Rei will go off to school. Rei then explains that he’ll attend lessons from their home, and this seems to satisfy Izumi. Seiya in turn thanks Rei for looking after Izumi, to which Rei reminds him that it’s no trouble at all and he’s glad to do it.

Seiya smiles and nods, reaching forward and patting his head–it’s something he’s seen Seiya do to Izumi a dozen times over…but for some reason, it leaves Rei feeling flushed, and his cheeks heat up. He passes it off as just not being used to having such a thing done to him. Seiya then returns to his studio, and Rei goes back to studying.

This is how Rei’s life progresses for some time, and after he obtains a license, he becomes Seiya’s personal chauffeur–his favorite part of the job. After Rei had mentioned how much he loved hearing Seiya sing, now Seiya sings during their drives together, responding to anything Rei requests. Rei takes secret pleasure in being able to have Seiya sing just for him in these moments, and it leaves him feeling warm and comfortable. It was Seiya’s singing, his voice which saved Rei–and during these moments he feels it particularly strongly, along with not just a feeling of gratitude for his savior, but a love similar to what one might feel for a family member…almost.

Six months after coming to live with the Sena family, Rei wakes in the middle of the night. He’d fallen asleep with Izumi in his bed, because Izumi was scared of the dark after hearing ghost stories at school. He slides out of the bed and heads to his own–and hears a noise as he walks down the hall. A noise…coming from Seiya and Nagisa’s bedroom.

Yuuuup. He walks past their bedroom while they’re having sex. Awkwaaaaard. He rushes up the stairs to his own room, covering his ears and doing his best not to remember the sounds, to forget what just happened–but every effort just makes him imagine what’s going on in that bedroom right then all the more vividly. He knows it’s normal–they’re a married couple after all–but this just makes him feel even dirtier for focusing on it, so much that he just wants to cry in frustration. He can’t help thinking about Seiya pressing Nagisa onto the bed, the expressions he makes as he does so, wondering if he still has that gentle expression he always does even during such an act.

He doesn’t sleep hardly at all that night.

The next morning, he’s feeling horrible and tries to keep from looking Seiya in the eye, still remembering the previous night. This naturally concerns Seiya, who presses a hand to his forehead to try and feel for a temperature. At this, Rei feels the blood rush in his body and frantically removes himself from the scene, heading to his room saying he doesn’t feel well and will rest for the day.

In his room, his heart is still pumping furiously and his whole body feels hot. I can’t…I absolutely can’t…and yet, his hand travels downwards to feel between his legs–and he finds that he is in fact hard. He can’t believe it–all Seiya had done was touch him, and this is Seiya, the person he respects and admires more than anyone else.

He feels like a despicable person, dirtying the image of Seiya with such thoughts–and yet his hand dips inside his underwear unbidden. Seiya’s touched him dozens of times before, but that coupled with the image of Seiya within his mind seems to have set off a chain reaction. He hates it, but he can’t stop himself–and imagines even that this feels better than sex he’s ever had with anyone before.

He continues to stroke himself feverishly with slick fingers, and in his mind he can see Seiya’s strange-colored eyes and even hear him say Rei’s name–it doesn’t take him long to climax this way, but at the same time, he can feel hot tears well up and stream down his cheeks, as he apologizes over and over to the absent Seiya. He has no idea how long he’s been holding back these feelings for Seiya–but he suspects it may have been from the moment he heard the man sing.

He’d always assumed it was love for Seiya as a father–he never wanted to feel this way about him. Seiya already has Nagisa, after all–and before that, they’re both men. But the scariest thing for Rei is the knowledge that if Seiya ever finds out about this…Rei won’t be able to live here any more.

He wants to be by Seiya’s side forever–it doesn’t have to be in a romantic sense, he just wants to help make Seiya happy.

He vows at that moment to suppress these feelings, to hide away these emotions he’s only just realized and to never let anyone else know about them.

---

Two months later, and Rei is at the airport waving goodbye to the Sena family as they board a plane for Fukuoka to visit Nagisa’s family for summer break. Rei had been invited along initially, but he had decided to stay behind and help watch the offices and house, since even the housekeepers were on break.

Since that day two months prior, Rei has managed to keep a calm mien around the family during the day–but at night, he pleasures himself with thoughts of Seiya. He’d sworn to keep his feelings a secret, but doing so has taken a great toll on his heart. Because of that, when talk of this trip came up, he wound up thinking he actually wouldn’t mind being alone for a while.

He wishes them a safe trip and returns to the Sena home, resolving to take it easy for this week he has to himself.

The week passes, and it’s the day before the Sena family are set to return. Rei decides to take the opportunity while they’re all out to air out their futons and heads to Seiya’s and Nagisa’s room. He walks in–and sees their bed. He’s seen it several times before, but this time his heart skips a beat.

“…No one’s around so…just a little bit won’t hurt…” he tells himself–and takes a flying leap onto the bed where he rolls around. He lies on his stomach and breathes in deeply–he can smell the detergent…and Seiya’s cologne.

At this scent, he can feel his lower half start to heat up–and realizes he really is a pervert as his hand starts to slip downward. But in these two months since he’s realized his feelings, the sense of taboo about doing this has started to lessen, and he slips his hand into his pants.

He closes his eyes and focuses his senses on Seiya’s scent, calling out his name softly as he strokes himself. He never lets himself call his name when he does this in his room, and it makes the sensation all the sharper. At length, he lets one hand slip down even further to test himself from behind, and slips a finger inside himself. Pleasuring himself from the front and back at the same time while crying out Seiya’s name, it doesn’t take long for him to peak–but just as he’s about to do so…

“…That looks like fun!”

Rei’s eyes snap open and he sees a boy standing in the entrance to the room. “Who–are you?!”

“Heeeh, you don’t know me? I’ve heard all about you from my dad…”

It’s Sena Shougo, the 16-year-old son of Seiya and Nagisa who was supposed to be studying abroad right now. He shares the same strange eyes as Seiya and same general appearance as well.

Rei is mortified to have been caught doing this–but Shougo doesn’t seem fazed in the least, only dreadfully curious. He came back without letting his family know, because it was summer vacation. He saunters over to the bed, on which Rei is still perched, and Rei just stares at him, wondering if he understands what Rei was just doing on his father’s bed (it should be noted here that Seiya and Nagisa have separate beds, common in many Japanese households).

“You’re my dad’s new attendant, aren’t you? So–you’re in love with him, huh?” Rei doesn’t respond, so Shougo continues, “What am I saying? Of course you do; otherwise you wouldn’t be doing that sort of thing!”

Shougo doesn’t seem repulsed or irritated at all–in fact, he seems to be enjoying this. Shougo takes a seat on the bed beside Rei, offering easily, “Then–how about I help you out there?”

It takes Rei several long minutes to understand just what Shougo is offering to help with–and it’s not airing out the futons.

“You didn’t cum yet, did you? Cause I barged in? Sorry ’bout that~” He grabs Rei by the shoulder and presses him down onto his back–and it finally clicks for Rei, who starts to protest. However, as soon as Shougo asks his name, casually mentioning that he thinks his father might have told him at one point–Rei freezes and feels a cold chill run down his spine. If Shougo tells Seiya about this…then all his efforts for the past two months will have been for nothing, and he finds he can’t move a muscle.

Shougo asks again what his name is, and he responds Sagara…Rei.

“All right then……Rei.” He drops his voice into a husky whisper against Rei’s ear, and Rei shudders in response, because it sounds just like Seiya, which Shougo crows happily, “Sounded just like him, huh??”

It isn’t just the voice–it’s the voice, his eyes, his whole way he holds himself. Shougo grins broadly and easily reassures him, “I don’t mind if you imagine that I’m my dad~” dropping a light kiss on Rei’s lips and reaches under the blanket he was using to hide himself, finding that Rei’s gone flaccid. He apologizes again for surprising him, realizing it was his fault Rei lost his erection.

He takes Rei in his hand and starts to slowly stroke, reminding him he’ll make it better in no time. Rei’s his first guy, but he’s pretty good at this. Rei wants to protest that they shouldn’t–but his body betrays him, much to Shougo’s delight. It’s been ages since he’s been touched by anyone but himself, and he’d already been inches away from climaxing before–add to that his eyes and ears being assaulted with images and sounds of Seiya via Shougo, and he’s undone.

Shougo strokes him, whispering in his ear all the while that he doesn’t have to hold back his voice, that he can cum whenever he wants, Rei Rei Rei, and in a flash Rei orgasms, spurting out over Shougo’s palm.

Rei collapses, utterly spent, and Shougo stares down at him, “Mmm, yup! I heard that you were hot–but you’re better than I imagined even! And totally sexy too~”

Rei grumbles at him not to look and tries to cover his face, humiliated at what he’s let himself do, but Shougo chastises him that he shouldn’t hide such a beautiful face. He presses in close to stare some more, and Rei flinches and squints his eyes shut. Shougo just laughs and says when he does that, he looks like he’s waiting to be kissed–which Shougo subsequently obliges him with.

It’s a deep, skillfull, passionate kiss, unthinkable for someone three years Rei’s junior, and while Rei’s being utterly washed away in the kiss, Shougo slips a hand under his shirt and starts tweaking his nipples. Rei lets out a high cry, and Shougo chuckles softly that, “I guess even guys can get turned on having their nipples played with…”

Shougo confesses that he’s getting a little hard up now, too, and he lifts up Rei’s hips, asking, “I put it in here, right?” Despite Rei’s confused protest, he slips a finger in easily, which he remarks with surprise before recalling that Rei had been fingering himself when he’d walked in. “Wow, it’s tight…I bet it feels amazing being in there…”

Shougo’s fingers are long and can reach places Rei’s own couldn’t when he was doing it to himself, and shivers of pleasure travel up Rei’s spine. His body wants so badly to have something go even deeper inside of himself, and realizes that he’s already indirectly agreeing to what Shougo’s about to do. His hips start moving, trying to take Shougo’s fingers in deeper. Despite saying that Rei was his first guy, he’s doing a damned good job of turning Rei on.

Shougo asks if he can put it in, and Rei wishes on that point he were as without hesitation as he’s been this far–he doesn’t want to hear Shougo ask that. But Shougo presses, calling his name, and Rei eventually gives in and provides vocal permission. He realizes that it’s not Seiya doing this to him, but he can’t help it–he wants this.

Shougo slowly pushes inside, filling Rei up until he’s fully seated. “It’s all inside…can you feel it?” At this whispered question, Rei clenches tight around him, and Shougo breathes in sharply, pulling out slowly and then pressing back in deeper with his full body. He starts pumping faster, pouring new pleasure into Rei and at the same time crying out Rei’s name in a voice even Rei would be embarrassed to release. But the voice sounds just like Seiya’s, and it drags Rei under.

Shougo’s thrusting quickly pushes Rei over the edge again, and he climaxes with Seiya-san on his lips before slipping into unconsciousness.
