Sitting, Waiting, Wishing

Warning: This chapter is ridiculous. LOL. Oh and there is some less descriptive lemony goodness mixed in.

Chapter Four

Stripped my senses
On the spot
I've never been defenseless
I can't even make sense of this

You speak and I don't hear a word

What would happen if we kissed
Would your tongue slip past my lips
Would you run away, would you stay
Or would I melt into you
Mouth to mouth, lust to lust
Spontaneously combust

-What Would Happen By: Meredith Brooks

Like the moments of genius Shizuki sometimes had, he had moments of stupidity. These seemed to happen much more often than the moments of genius. Maybe the blond stereotype was true when it came to him. Maybe it was because he didn't think before he talked—and more often than not before he did anything at all. He was after all rather impulsive. Really though the moments of stupidity could probably come down to his over large sense of curiosity. This moment of stupidity could definitely be blamed on that quality more than the others. Later, he'd wished he'd kept his big mouth shut.

Shizuki had been hanging out with Akiha for months now. Yet, not once had he ever brought up his fixation with Umeda. He'd been careful not to tread anywhere near that topic since Akiha was prone to be over enthusiastic about things he loved. Shizuki really didn't wanna have to be around for that kind of display when it meant the subject was the one person he was trying to avoid. Still as said before, Shizuki had moments of stupidity. And he really didn't know what made him ask this question.

"So you're in love with Umeda?" Shizuki asked Akiha tentatively.

He and Akiha were sitting alone in a posh club that Akiha frequented with all of his models and other various high profile people that he knew. The crowd that had been hanging out with Akiha had dispersed only moments before. Shizuki had spent a lot of time around all of those people, but had yet to make any true friends out of the bunch. They may have been rich, famous, or both, but he really wasn't impressed by either. Maybe that's why they didn't take to him so well. He didn't really care. As long as there were drinks being sold where are Akiha took him, he was happy. Even if it was only mid-afternoon and way to early to be getting even remotely drunk. Yet it was needless to say, he was more than a little buzzed when this question finally slipped out. His curiosity had finally gotten the better of him.

The other blond grinned at his unease. "Yes!" the photographer answered. He was always more than willing to talk about the doctor to anyone who would dare listen.

"Why!" the inquiry burst out of Shizuki in a rush. Why did he care what Akiha saw in the doctor? The little voice in the back of his head whispered that maybe he wanted to know so he could understand why he felt drawn to Umeda too. He did his best to ignore it.

Akiha laughed. "I see he made quite the impression on you."

The doctor flushed, thinking of the kisses they'd shared. "Yeah, I guess. Not in a good way." What a lie! His conscience giggled at him. Those kisses had definitely been good.

"I'm sorry to hear that. To answer your question it's because he's kind, passionate, loyal, and very lonely."

Shizuki snorted rudely. "Right." He refused to acknowledge any truth in that statement.

"Maybe you forgot how much he looked after and protected Mizuki despite the jeopardy it placed his career in. If the school had decided to make a claim against him, he would have been ruined. He's a doctor, because he likes looking after others. He may seem obnoxious and bizarre, but underneath he's a very soft hearted individual," Akiha explained to him.

The boy doctor had to admit Akiha had a point. "Lonely though?"

"He's been chasing after the same guy for over ten years. What's that tell you?" The photographer looked over at the other blond pointedly.

"He's desperate. And he told me he gave up on Ryoichi. Good thing too. I met that jerk. I couldn't see what Umeda saw in the guy," Shizuki said, casually.

"Wait, what! He gave up! You met Ryoichi?" Akiha nearly dropped his glass in shock.

"Yeah, he wasn't anything special. Umeda said he was tired of having his heart stomped on. That and Ryoichi got married," the boy doctor replied off handedly. He really didn't understand why Akiha was having so big of a reaction over such a trivial piece of information. It was old news. "Didn't you know?"

The photographer stared in astonishment. "I never thought he'd give up…" There was a glimmer of excitement as a big, mischievous grin spread across his lips. "His heart's a free agent again."

Shizuki suddenly felt like he'd made a big mistake in telling Akiha what he'd known.

"I can make my move!" Akiha looked positively gleeful.

"I don't think that's such a good idea right now. He looked pretty depressed," Shizuki tried to discourage him. He actually felt guilty for having let the truth slip even though Umeda hadn't told him to keep it a secret.

"I'll cheer him up!" Akiha jumped up. "He's sure to fall for me now when I charm him into my clutches!"

"Are all you gay guys this crazy?" the boy doctor began to scoot away in fear of the maniacal look creeping into Akiha's eyes.

"I'm bi," the blond photographer said absently, as he began to plot out possible heroic scenarios of him sweeping Umeda off his feet. He started walking towards the door without realizing that Shizuki wasn't right behind him.

"Where are you going?" Shizuki scrambled to his feet. He lurched a little as his head began to spin.

Akiha glanced back. "To Osaka High, of course, to rescue my damsel in distress!"

"Damsel?" the other blond stared in horror. Oh, man it had been a bad idea to tell Akiha! He actually felt sorry for the doctor. He'd accidently sicced Akiha on him.

"Come on!" Akiha commanded, striding onward.

Shizuki followed but for no reason he could clearly understand. "Why?"

"So I can have a witness to how quickly he'll succumb to my wooing!" Akiha's smile already looked triumphant. He almost did look like a knight charging off to save his lady, save for the crazed look in his eyes.

"Uh…"

"Come on!" the photographer grabbed his arm, dragging him along.

If ever there was a time he wished he could take back something he'd said, it was now.

Umeda nearly jumped out of his skin as the door to his little medical center slammed open. A moment later he wished he had a gun as Akiha came literally bounding into the room. He almost didn't notice Shizuki trailing in behind the photographer and quietly shutting the door once more. Umeda yelped as he dodged being glomped by mere inches.

"What the hell are you doing here, Akiha!" Umeda tried not to shout. He'd already been reprimanded by his employers several times for being to loud when he got upset.

Akiha had caught himself on the edge of the desk, just barely, before he would have hit the floor. He spun around and threw his arms out dramatically. "I always knew we were soul mates! Shizuki informed me that you had given up on your wasted efforts of love for that wretch Ryouichi! I came at once to offer myself to you once more."

Umeda was to stunned by this diatribe to react immediately. He stood there for a moment, staring at the photographer like he'd lost his mind. Then he glanced over at Shizuki, who shrugged sheepishly and shuffled his feet. Umeda glared at the blond before turning that scathing look on Akiha. It didn't seem to have any effect on the photographer.

"I would rather gargle razor blades then ever say yes to you," Umeda spat. "Especially after that disgusting display."
Akiha frowned for a moment. "I was being chivalrous, my love. I came as soon as I heard you were in need of someone to sooth your bruised heart." He kept the act going despite the death glare he was receiving for his efforts.

Umeda sent one more hateful glare Shizuki's way, before answering. "My heart's not bruised, you moron! Even if it was, I don't want anything to do with you!"

"You're making my efforts to sweep you off your feet very difficult," Akiha pouted.

"Do I look like some kind of princess to you!"

Akiha looked thoughtful. "Well, you are beautiful. Any woman would kill to have your looks. You know how much I would love to take pictures of you. Especially after you've just made love with me. I would love to see that expression and capture it forever." Akiha sighed wistfully.

Umeda felt his blood pressure skyrocketing. "Stop thinking of me like that!"

"Alas! Those thoughts are only wishes until you give in to my love," Akiha sighed dramatically, before rushing towards the doctor once more. He flung his arms out as he attempted to sweep Umeda into his embrace. Umeda grabbed his desk chair and shoved it between them, blocking the photographer from him by only inches.

"Stay away from me, you idiot!" Umeda snapped.

"But I want to kiss you! Let me sooth away your hurt feelings!"

"I would rather kiss anyone else any day of the week than ever kiss you, Akiha!" Umeda snapped, throwing a book at the blond that he grabbed off the desk.

"Oh yeah! Well, prove it then!" Akiha shot back irrationally. His patience finally cracked. Really why was it so hard for Umeda to say what a great man he was?

Shizuki had not moved from his spot by the door. He was completely in awe of the absolute melodrama unfolding in front of him. It was insane! How in the world had he gotten dragged into this again? He watched as the two scowled at each other before Umeda turned away. Akiha smirked as though he'd won that part of the argument. That was until he realized that Umeda had set his sights on poor Shizuki.

Shizuki's eyes widened in horror when he caught the gleam in Umeda's eyes. He was suddenly in motion, trying to back away and scramble for the door knob. He looked ironically like a mouse about to get eaten by the big, hungry cat. Umeda pounced and was on him in a second. Shizuki scrambled to get away, but he was to late. The doctor caught Shizuki, spun him around, and grabbed him by his jacket labels. He seemed oblivious of the blond's struggle to get away, as he dragged Shizuki against him.

"Don't—!" Shizuki managed to gasp, voice desperate and frightened. Umeda darted his head forward before the blond could jerk away and kissed him while his mouth was still open in declaration. The blond stiffened in complete shock. Akiha's heart jumped into his throat. Really, the scene would have been hilarious if it were any other two people. Shizuki's arms were locked in front of him, trying to keep Umeda back. Somehow, the doctor had bent over those arms to reach Shizuki's lips. Umeda's hands still gripped the blond's jacket. Really it should have been funny, but Akiha wasn't laughing.

Any moment Shizuki would get over his surprise and freak out. He might even hit Umeda. Any second…

But Akiha was wrong.

To Shizuki it felt like a horde of butterflies had just erupted in the pit of his stomach. His hands unintentionally curled themselves into the fabric of Umeda's shirt as his arms seemed to lose their strength. The doctor took advantage of the sudden weakness to pull Shizuki in snuggly against the hard, lean planes of his body. Shizuki felt like his brain was short circuiting. It was sending the entire wrong signals to his body. Lust mixed with fear and something so much brighter burned through him. Umeda's mouth moved over his, hot and insistent, before slipping his tongue into the blond's mouth to taste him deeper for the first time. Umeda groaned at the spicy, unique flavor of Shizuki that seemed to melt on his tongue. A weird little noise, almost a whimper, escaped the blond as his knees suddenly buckled. He sank towards the floor, Umeda following him for a moment. Then their mouths separated and Umeda's grip slipped away. Shizuki hit the floor with an ungraceful thump. He stared up at Umeda, chest heaving and pleasant zings of sensation singing down every nerve with lusty awareness. He couldn't ignore the sudden throbbing in his southern regions either. The doctor was smirking at him, but it seemed a little off kilter. Maybe it was because Umeda was breathing just as hard.

There was a tense, thick, awkward silence as they stared at each other. They were now very aware of the third person in the room that they had forgotten about while locked in that kiss. Akiha's hands were clenched into fists. His face was set in a mask of shock and anger. That was not how he had pictured this whole scenario going. What astonished him the most was Shizuki's reaction to Umeda. The blond hadn't fought. He'd given in like he'd been waiting—no- wanting that kiss. Akiha gritted his teeth. He felt like a fool. How had he not seen what had been going on right under his nose? Umeda had given up on Ryoichi, because he'd fallen for Shizuki. One straight guy for another apparently. Only Shizuki didn't seem so straight now as he sat on the floor, staring at the doctor with kiss swollen lips.

"When were you gonna tell me you liked Umeda too!" Akiha shouted. "You probably told me all that so you could watch me come over here and act like a fool! You want Umeda for yourself!"

Shizuki looked angry and horrified, but more than anything, shocked. "What! No! I don't even like Umeda!"

"That was one hell of a kiss for not liking someone!" Akiha snapped.

Umeda snickered. "Maybe you already forgot that I kissed him. Or that I like him, not the other way around."

Both blonds stared at him like he'd lost his mind.

"You like me!"

"You like him!"

Both blonds exclaimed at the same time. Umeda looked like he'd made a very grave error in his choice of words.

"Well, I haven't exactly been subtle about it," Umeda remarked, somewhat defensively. He hadn't meant to admit he liked Shizuki. Shit. "I mean I've kissed Shizuki like four times now."

"Four!" Akiha looked devastated. He glared down at Shizuki. "You knew I loved Umeda, but you've kissed him anyways? What kind of friend are you!"

"I never kissed him! He attacks me!" Shizuki declared angrily.

Akiha snorted. "You didn't look like you were eager to get away."

Shizuki flushed. "Well, I…"

"Oh, save it. I can tell when I'm not wanted!" Akiha straightened up and tried to look dignified. "I give up! Are you happy, Umeda? I won't pursue you anymore! I hope you two are happy together!"

Umeda tried to stifle his laughter. "Actually that does make me happy."

Akiha scowled before marching to the door. He flung it open, hitting Shizuki rather hard with the edge of it. He paused for a moment and stared down his nose at the other blond. "We aren't hanging out together anymore. You've ruined our friendship." With that, he flounced out before jerking the door shut behind him.

"Thank God, he finally gave up!" Umeda flung his arms up with joy. "I wish I had known it was that easy to get him to back off."

Shizuki growled under his breath as he clambered to his feet. "Thank for dragging me into it, you bastard."

The doctor looked over at him with a rather unsympathetic look. "You deserved it. What in the hell possessed you to tell Akiha something like that?"

"Well it wasn't exactly a secret," Shizuki said, cynically. "Besides, I just lost a friend over that nonsense."

Umeda shrugged. "Temporarily maybe. Akiha always knew he never had a chance with me. He should thank you for helping him see the light."

"You're such an asshole." Shizuki grumbled, dusting off his pants. He failed to notice Umeda eyeing his crotch. The blond's pants did little to hide the proof of how much he'd really enjoyed the doctor's kiss. Umeda smirked to himself in amusement. "I have to call a cab to get a ride home, thanks to you."

"If you wait a few minutes I can give you a ride home." Umeda offered graciously (or at least appearing to be anyways).

Shizuki eyed him suspiciously. He sensed an ulterior motive behind that offer. "No, thank you," he ground out.

"Oh well, I would have liked to have helped you with your problem," Umeda's eyes drifted meaningfully to the blond's crotch.

Shizuki blushed crimson before grabbing the door and yanking it open. "I don't have a problem!" He snapped then stormed out. The door slammed shut behind him.

Umeda chuckled. "Sure you don't. Damned blonds are gonna break my door. How would I explain that one to my boss?" He stared at the door for a second. He really liked how sexy Shizuki looked all flustered and upset like that. God, he wanted to get his hands on the blond so bad. He hadn't been playing when he said he wanted to help Shizuki out with 'his problem.' He'd like to help the blond out alright. Right outta his clothes and stretched out naked on Umeda's bed, begging to be taken. The doctor licked his lips, and could still taste Shizuki's lingering flavor on his tongue. He was past treading in dangerous waters. He was starting to sink in them.

That night the doctor and the blond both woke up from a rather vivid dream. One woke up to sticky damp shorts while the other woke up flushed crimson and wishing he could ignore his raging hard on. Both groaned in irritation. The blond because he gave in, much to his shame, and wrapped his hand around his dick. The other from having to shuck his dirty shorts for a pair of briefs he hated, because he needed to do laundry.

And the dreams stayed vibrantly detailed, even despite reality trying to fade them away already.

Umeda dreamed of exactly what he had fantasized earlier in the day. Shizuki lying naked on the doctor's bed with the moonlight turning his honey colored hair to silver. Shizuki's blue eyes had blazed brighter than ever as he panted—waiting impatiently for Umeda's touch. The doctor had slid his hands down those strong thighs, before slipping underneath them to push those legs up towards the blond's chest. Umeda had lined himself and surged forward, diving into Shizuki with relish. He watched the boy doctor's lips part in a gasp as his cheeks flushed brighter. God, he'd looked so sexy. Umeda groaned lustily before snapping his hips forward. Beneath him, Shizuki moaned and reached up to draw him down into a heated, passionate kiss. He had lost himself in the taste, smell, and sounds of the gorgeous man he was buried inside. He'd woken up just as he had reached climax inside the blond's tight, hot body.

Shizuki's dream had started out less descriptive. He had been holding trim hips with soft, pale skin and staring down at the most perfect ass he had ever seen. He'd watched his dick sliding in and out of that ass with perverse delight. The slap of skin on skin and the wet, sexy sounds of his thrusts had made his mouth go dry as he began to grind harder. He'd shifted his eyes back to the hips cradled in his palms. He'd slid his right hand from one hip to the dip of that beautiful ass upwards over a trembling back. He remembered being somewhat confused by the broad shoulders of the person he was holding. There were no curves like a woman's body would have. Just lean lines, broad shoulders, smooth skin, and trim hips. And that ass. He couldn't forget that ass. He'd jerked awake when his hand reached mahogany hair and that head had turned. A pair of deep golden eyes had pierced him in place. His mind registered it was Umeda before he'd woken himself up rather violently.

In one apartment, the blond moaned a name he would never dare to admit had slipped past his lips in daylight. In his hand, his dick spurted cum as he reached completion. In another apartment, the doctor laid awake, replaying that dream in his mind and wishing it had been true. Both were lost in the dreams their sleeping minds had conjured. Both ached with a desire and need that they had never known before.

It scared them both.

Be a responsible reader and review!

I honestly have no idea where this chapter came from. It started out with just a silly idea that made me giggle so I had to include it. Sorry, if Akiha is somewhat OOC. I really tried not to make him to over the top, but this is kind of a crack fic. I added some semi-lemony goodness there at the end of the chapter for some of you who are getting frustrated with how slow their relationship is developing. Believe me I'd love to have them together and screwing like bunnies too. LOL However I enjoy when two characters get together in a more believable way. It's gonna take me a little while to get to that point. I'm sorry. Seriously, this story is turning into a monster. It's gotten up to like 45 pages long. How the hell did that happen! Anyways, thanks for continuing to read. I'll see you guys next chapter! I'll try to get that out as soon as possible!
