Spreading sunrise’s pinkish, orange, and red haloing glow, colors spread across the sky announcing the new painted across the clouds. Another beautiful morning. The grating, metallic shriek heralds the arrival of the overpopulated locomotive at the station. Amai’s mouth gapes once more as an indicative response to his early morning weariness. The large sliding doors reluctantly ease open to take on more into the densely crowded moving machine’s amalgam of frail elderly awoken earliest at dawn for ideal seats, their own self-entitled thrones for a life long lived; posh businessmen in high-class three-piece suits and expensive designer brand shoes; and the lowest on the morning train hierarchy- drowsy, noisy, gossipy high school teens wearing faces as expressionless as corpses burdened en route for their prisons of chairs and desks.The train takes a plunge, and accelerates on its bound course of rusting steel. It rocks back and forth with its relentless whining and groaning as if it t
A breezy and sunny morning in April’s spring. The aroma of the cherry blossoms is in the air and the sounds of high school students returning to school or starting school proliferate the air. Kobayashi Takeo and Tsuyoshi Sen, childhood friends and members of a non-violent yakuza group centered in Osaka are chasing down rivals from another yakuza group dealing on their turf on this spring morning. Being the youngest members, they are at the mercy of their senpai and brow-beaten to do the group’s menial labor. Kobayashi collides into a person as he turns the corner, his running momentum knocking over this small and delicate figure.He finds himself laying on top of the most beautiful person he has ever seen in all his life. Jade pale skin, rouge red lips, chestnut brown hair, and green eyes. An Omega? He lays there on top of him mesmerized, his heart thundering inside his chest. Time stops. He doesn’t notice his friend Tsuyoshi stop behind him, perplexed as to why he’s remaining on top
Kobayashi walks into the two bedroom bachelor pad provided by the group that he shares with his childhood friend of 10 years Tsuyoshi Sen with an abnormally large grin plastered on his face. Tsuyoshi was already back from reporting to the boss. While he did feel bad about abandoning his friend to report alone for letting those rivals get away, he couldn’t help feeling like he was flying high, his heart leaping and his body light.“So, loverboy, you have a pretty stupid grin on that face of yours. Got yourself a date with that Cutie-chan, huh? You even abandoned me in the blink of an eye, what a horrible person!”Kobayashi regains his senses and registers what was said to him, “Sorry, Sen,” though the smile does not disappear from his face.“You aren’t even sorry, you dumbass.” He kicks the back of his knee in playfully.“I’ll treat you next time.”“Damn right you better. Kashira chewed my ass out for an hour and I even had to lie to cover for your ass while you were walking Cutie-chan
One week after the first date, Takeo and Tsuyoshi are at the headquarters. They are assembled in two neat stretching rows along with their other sworn brothers, standing straight and poised ready to greet the Kashira when he returns.The Kashira’s black car pulls up in the driveway and all the members prepare themselves.“Welcome back, Kashira!” The Kashira bows quickly as he passes the neatly arrayed rows of members and proceeds to enter the office when as he is passing by, Takeo’s phone rings.“Oh, shit!! I forgot to turn off my phone! And right in front of Kashira, too! I’m so fucked!!!”His phone keeps ringing, all the members stare at him and the Kashira is standing in front of him, amazed at whoever dared to not turn off his personal cell phone in the middle of work.Tsuyoshi looks at his friend with a pitiful look in his eyes but also attempts to hold in his upcoming laughing fit.Kashira orders, “Who could be calling you at this time!? Answer your damn phone and put it on spea
Tsuyoshi was standing in front of him as he entered his room upon his return from walking Sora to the station.“So, how was Cutie-chan? How far did you get?”“Mind your own business! And get out of my room. If you’re so pent up for sex why don’t you just jerk off or pay someone.”“Who says I’m pent up?”“Just stay away from him.” Takeo released a dominating scent toward his best friend.“Woah! Calm down, loverboy. While I do think that he is cute, his shy personality is not really my type. I like ‘em bold,” Tsuyoshi says as he steps aside and exits Takeo’s room.“Whatever, keep your hands off him.”“Heh. Can do, captain,” he mocked as Takeo slammed the door in his face.One month later.Takeo and Tsuyoshi are walking together to Sora’s university. Takeo promised to pick him up from school today. Tsuyoshi said he felt left out and lonely and just randomly invited himself along.Takeo sighed and thought, I just hope he won’t say anything stupid to Sora. As they approached the university
Chapter Text“Where are you going, idiot? It’s saturday,” Takeo reminds Tsuyoshi whom he thinks forgot the day of the week, since he rarely woke up early.“A date.”“Huh?” The door closes as Takeo wonders who he has a date with. Maybe it’s… He heads back to the kitchen to finish making breakfast as joy blooms in his heart for his precious friend.Tsuyoshi walks up to Azuma who has his back turned to him.“Azuma.” He turns around. “Were you waiting long?” He asks, as he looks at Azuma’s immaculate clothes and his slightly exposed nape and gives a satisfied smile.“No.” Azuma looks over Tsuyoshi’s casual wear that suits him perfectly well.“Good. Shall we go?”They head to the amusement park. The crowd seems to be getting denser, more people shoving and pushing. Tsuyoshi grabs hold of Azuma’s hand, “Don’t get lost.”It’s obvious Azuma is happy at this but still shyly mutters back while blushing, “I’m not a kid.” Tsuyoshi chuckles.“What do you want to ride first?”Azuma looks around at
“Oi, what time do you think it is to be coming home?”Hearing Takeo’s voice upon his entrance into the house, Tsuyoshi finally slipped out of his love-filled daze. It wasn’t often that Takeo saw his friend so out of it. He had to take this rare opportunity to turn all of Tsuyoshi’s teasing back on him, a mischievous grin forming on his face.“Ah, so that’s it! Your date with Azuma-kun went well. Did you kiss him? Huh? Sen-chan, why are you so red? Are you blushing?! How cute, Sen-chan!” The two friends only added -chan to each other’s names when they were making fun of the other.“Don’t call me Sen-chan!”“Sorry, are you angry Sen-chan?” At that Tsuyoshi glared at him and playfully punched a widely grinning Takeo as he walked past him and went to his room to finally sleep after all of the night’s heart-racing events. His thoughts and dreams that night comprised entirely of Azuma Seimei.Two weeks after their first date, at the aquarium.Azuma is staring mesmerized at a tank of multi-c
Sora is in heat on Tsuyoshi’s bed, his pants flung off to the side of the bed. Tsuyoshi is above him, looking toward the door where Takeo and Azuma stand wearing similar expressions of anger, pain, and betrayal.Sora does not have the mental capacity as of yet to register what is happening due to the full force of his heat. Tsuyoshi sees Takeo’s face paint over red with a startling murderous glint in his eyes.Takeo the orphan who he’s known since they were in middle school. The lonely and unsociable Takeo who lived in the house of his uncle and aunt who hated him. Takeo, who he considered a brother, who he would never betray.Behind him, Azuma had tears dripping down his shocked face and he wasn’t even aware of it, that was the extent to which he felt betrayed. A lump caught in his throat as he tried to explain the situation but only stammered out incomplete words that refused to take shape.Takeo moved towards him with his teeth bared, a sign of Alpha aggression, and his fists curle
