Sweet as Sugar

Sweet as Sugar

Chapter Six

Before you had time to process what had just happened, a very loud knock started you. Honey's fingers tightened around your body as you instinctively got up to see who was at the door. It was a lot easier to think about the fact that you had a visitor than to contemplate that Honey of all people had just locked lips with you. Unfortunately because of the fact that Honey had dominated you so completely with the way he placed his hands and body, it was that easy to get up.

"Don't worry about them silly, they can come back later."

"What if it's the police?"

"Then they don't need to be here. And if they come in without permission I will let them know that."

The way he said it seemed so innocent and reassuring. The only reason that you had a notion it might not have been a peaceful confrontation was because he refused to let go of your lips.

"Honey I need to get the door."

"Why? Everyone who is important is already in this room right?"

Was he joking? It felt like he was joking. Like not haha funny joke but it didn't feel serious. Maybe it had to do with the game of make believe he wanted to play.

"What if it's my grandparents?"

That finally got him to loosen up as he contemplative lay murmured, "It would be bad to have my wife's family mad at her because of me."

So it was because of his game of pretend after all. That made you feel a bit better. It definitely helped you feel safer. You took only the barest of moments to comport yourself before you got up and opened the door. The person behind the door had a lot of patience all things consider. That wasn't a surprise considering that it was Mori's handsome face that met you. Though if you had to judge him you'd say that he seemed worried.

"Is Mitsukuni here with you?"

You nodded, letting the taller man into the hotel. Mori seemed tense. Much more that he usual was. And...was that a hicky peeking out from his clothes? It definitely looked like a bruise of some sort. Now that you paid attention you saw some discoloration peeking out from under his sleeves too. Must have been some great love marks. Funny thing was that you didn't know about him having a boyfriend or girlfriend. He didn't strike you as a one and done man either

"Takashi? What are you doing here?" Honey asked as he looked over the back of the couch at his friend.

"I came to find you."

"I told you, I was going to spend the day with my lovely wife Tori. Don't you remember?"

So he had planned that? Or was it all part of his act? The look on Mori's face said that it the later rather than the former option.

"He wanted to play house," you filled in rather unhelpfully.

Your words fell on deaf ears as Mori continued to stare down Honey.

"The club is worried about you."

"Hmmm You can tell Haru that I am fine and tell Kyoya that I will be back when Tori can visit us again but not before that 'kay?"

The way he said it sounded sweet. It sounded like the Honey you would visit to take your mind off of your responsibilities. There was something in the hardness in his eyes as he stared at his cousin that didn't match up.

"That's not a good idea Mitsukuni."

You watched as Mori passed a sort of tension through the air. It was an interesting thing to witness. As though they were reading each other's minds. In this silent battle of wills you couldn't help but look towards Mori. He held himself so tall and proud, cutting such a figure that you couldn't help but wonder what was under the clothes.

Hey you were still human after all.

So lost in contemplation you didn't notice Honey flipping off of the couch and landing right beside you. Honey was as quick as a snake as he wrapped his arms around you, standing as tall as he could. Which let him rub his forehead all over the base of your neck. Bumps ran up and done your arms from the contact.

Honey kept cuddling as he happily announced, "It's not a good idea, it's a great idea!"

Seriously?

"If you keep missing school there will be consequences."

"Yes if you do badly in school, your parents might take away your sweets," You jumped in right there, knowing where to hit him where it hurt.

Besides the fact that it amused you to hear his grasp, you also did it to hopefully disentangle him from you. His affectionate side was beginning to feel a little strange. You were already trying not to realize how deep and red the blush went on your face. Especially considering that Mori's eyes hadn't moved for a long time.

"You wouldn't listen to them would you?" Honey's voice wavered. "You know how much I like my sweets."

"I wouldn't go against your parents," you informed him.

This game of make believe seemed really strange. Like he still hadn't let go of you; he wasn't hugging you exactly because hugs ended. You weren't sure what he thought he was doing. There was no way you could know that Honey was staring at Mori very intently as he held onto you. Some might even call it a glare. All you knew was that Honey was not letting go and it was embarrassing.

"We need to go Mitsukuni."

"A good husband doesn't leave their wife!"

"Except when they go to work," you spoke out before realizing exactly what you said.

Honey stilled completely behind you as the idea sank in. "But it's night time."

"And how are you going to get ready for work in the morning when you don't have any of your stuff huh?"

Mori stood quietly as he witnessed the exchange. You couldn't help but feel some trepidation coming from him. But what did he have to be worried about? Weren't you doing exactly what he wanted you to do?

The very persistent blond haired teenager let go of you. Mostly. He turned you about with his hands on your shoulders. You didn't even have time to fight against him turning you before he balanced up on his tippy toes and kissed you again. This time it was much lighter than before.

"You're right!" Honey said with a rather happy look on his face. You were betting it was because you were playing along with his game. "I don't have any of the stuff!"

It was relieving to watch as he realized that he needed to go home. Honey smiled widely at you as he let go. He put his hands behind his back as he rocked on to the heels of his feet.
