Episode Two
Pouring himself a cup of coffee, Kame sat at one of the tables in the pantry, recalling the previous day’s events.
It was mostly a blur to him. All he remembered after the kiss was pulling away from Yamapi and running into his apartment building. He had ran away. Argh, how utterly embarrassing. He wondered how he’ll be able to work with the other from now on. Things were sure to be awkward between them. Not that Kame didn’t already feel awkward around his new colleague.
“Ohayou.” Kame greeted as someone walked into the pantry. Yamapi.
Kame sat up in his seat, waiting. He wasn’t sure what he was waiting for though. He watched as the other poured himself a cup of tea and walked out of the pantry, completely ignoring him. Kame paused, a bit surprised, but then waved it off as Yamapi just feeling uncomfortable about the situation.
Of course, he was wrong.
For the rest of the day, Yamapi was behaving as if Kame didn’t even exist. Even when they were talking about work, Yamapi was extremely cold towards him. It wasn’t a ‘I’m sorry for what happened yesterday, I just did it at the spur of the moment. Let’s just forget it and act like nothing ever happened.’ kind of avoidance. It was more like ‘Kamenashi who?’.
Kame was confused and annoyed. What was wrong with the guy, kissing him and then acting like he was completely invisible? Was it just some big joke? Because if it was, Kame wasn’t laughing. The more he thought about it, and the more Yamapi ignored him, the more annoyed Kame got.
Watching Yamapi laughing and fooling around with Jin, while here he was trying hard to concentrate on work — but to no avail because he couldn’t stop thinking about yesterday — was really the last straw for him, as Kame slammed a file onto his desk and strode towards where his two colleagues were.
“Yamashita-san, I need to talk to you about something.”
Yamapi just stared at him like he had horns growing out of his head. Kame resisted the urge to blow up right then.
“Yamashita-san, could we discuss it in the meeting room?”
“Oi, Pi, why are you stoning? Go work.” Jin half pushed Yamapi, oblivious to the tension between the other two, before turning his attention to Yuichi who had just returned from a meeting. “Yuichi! You’re back!”
“Shall we?” Kame prompted, to which Yamapi shrugged noncommittally, before striding towards the meeting room. Once in the room, Yamapi leaned against the table, as Kame shut the door behind them.
“What’s with the ‘Yamashita-san’? I thought I told you to call me Yamapi.” Furrowed eyebrows. “Well, what is it that you want to discuss?”
“I’ll get to the point.” Kame took a deep breath. “What’s the meaning of kissing me yesterday, then treating me like I’m invisible and ignoring me all day today?”
“Was I ignoring you?” Yamapi tilted his head, as if he was surprised by the question. “Why? Did you think there would be more to it, Kame-chan? You didn’t think we would become a couple after that did you?”
Kame’s cheeks flushed. “No. Of course not. I’m just trying to ascertain what made you do such a ridiculous thing in the first place. And to make sure that if it was a joke carried too far, that you would please not do it again.”
“Oh, and what would you do if I did it again?” Yamapi smirked, as he lightly tapped Kame’s chin teasingly. Kame instinctively pushed his hand away.
“Don’t touch me.”
“Tsumetai na, Kame-chan. You didn’t seem to mind when we were kissing yesterday.”
“You were the one who kissed me out of the blue. I didn’t ask you to.”
“Eh, I thought you would like it. After all, you seem to really enjoy feeling me up on the train yesterday morning.”
…Train. Morning. What the- He had known all along! The bastard wasn’t really asleep. Kame flared. “Were you even asleep at all? Or you were you just pretending the whole time?”
“Oh, I was going to take a little nap, but I couldn’t help it if I was awoken by someone grinding himself against my hips now could I?”
“…”
“You looked so cute trying your best to hide your interest in me the whole day yesterday, I thought I’d just reward you with a little kiss to satisfy your fascination.”
Teme. Konoyaero!
“What’s the big fuss? Admit it. You enjoyed the kiss…. And feeling me up.” Chuckle. “Now, we got that over and done with, isn’t it easier to concentrate on work?”
Kame took a deep breath. No, he would not resort to punching his lights out. After all, it wouldn’t do well to explain to anyone, and they still had to work together. Kame’s principle was that even if he didn’t like someone, it shouldn’t get in the way of doing his work well. The launch was already almost at the end stage. He would finish up this project and convince Okada not to put them on the same project again.
“So I guess I should thank you?” Kame stated coldly. “Well, thank you then, Yamashita-san, for putting it that clearly.”
He spun on his heel and left the room.
* * * * *
Throughout the next few days, Kame made it a point not to converse with Yamapi unless it was absolutely necessary. If he had to tell the other anything, it was done as methodically as how Yamapi had treated him. If possible, he would just send him an email, instead of speaking to him directly, despite the fact that the said person was just a cubicle away. Damn their seating arrangements.
It was just as well that he had to leave the office for a promotion event now — the last of the few projects that he took over from his ex-colleague Sakaki —- and could avoid seeing Yamapi for the rest of the day. Just as he was gathering his things, Kame’s mobile phone rang. “Hai, Kamenashi desu.”
“Kamenashi, it’s Yamada from Sales. You’re still in the office right?”
“Yeah.”
“I’m calling about the sample packs for the Supernova promotion. Just got a call that we’ve underestimated the numbers by about a 100 odd. The events agency guy said one of our directors told him to add another 100 guests. Did you know about it?”
“No. It didn’t come through me. And Sakaki didn’t have such a directive on file.”
“Well, the guy wants us to send him another 100 packs. My whole team’s at a training seminar in Yokohama now, and I won’t make it in time to deliver it to the venue. Could you help deliver them?”
“Well, okay.”
“Get someone to go with you. The cartons are a tad heavy, but two people should be able to handle it.”
“Alright, got it.” Kame shook his head as he put down the phone. It was just his luck that something like that cropped up. But luckily he hadn’t left the office yet. Now all he needed was someone to go with him. Kame paused, as he glanced at Yamapi, who was talking to Jin. Technically, the Supernova range was a sub-brand under Eien, the overall brand he was in charge of, and which Yamapi was supposed to work with him on. But Kame didn’t really want to ask him. Kame knew that he shouldn’t let personal feelings affect work, but he reasoned that Yamapi was only working with him specifically on the Tsubasa range for Eien, so he had every right to ask anyone else to accompany him in this case.
“Yuichi? You’re not busy right now right?”
“Am finishing up on a project, but otherwise I’m fine. Why? Oh, and aren’t you suppose to head for an event now?”
“That’s exactly what I wanted to ask you about.” Kame quickly explained the situation on needing someone to do the delivery with him. “You’ll stay for the event of course. The food’s going to be really good.” Kame added.
“Sure, I don’t mind. I’ll do it even if there wasn’t the food.”
“Thanks Yuichi! You’re the best!” Kame kissed Yuichi on the cheek.
“Wah! Kame!” Jin stopped his conversation with Yamapi to point accusingly at Kame. “Don’t kiss my Yuichi!”
“Who’s yours?” Yuichi stated calmly, without much reaction to Kame’s overt show of affection.
“Yeah Jin, you heard Yuichi. Who’s yours?” Kame retorted before impishly kissing Yuichi on the cheek again.
“KAMENASHI!”
* * * * *
The next morning, Kame was seated at the reception of GMB Records, sipping a glass of ice water as he waited with Yamapi. They were supposed to meet Tanaka Koki, the Account Executive from Xen Creative Direction who was handling the project. Koki was going to introduce them to Asami Yuri, the singer who was endorsing the Tsubasa range.
Kame had been hoping that he wouldn’t have to talk to Yamapi much while they waited. The two of them had just sat down for about a minute, but the silence was already getting awkward.
Kame took another sip of water. Koki, whom he had worked with quite a number of times before whenever Xen handled their projects, had always been on time, so Kame hoped he would be as punctual this time as well. Kame was surprised however, when Yamapi broke the silence.
“Why didn’t you ask me to help you for the event yesterday, instead of Nakamaru-kun? It’s an Eien project right? I should have been helping you on it.”
Kame blinked. “It’s an Eien project. But it’s the Supernova range. You’ve only been assigned to help with Tsubasa. You’re not obligated to help me.”
“I don’t think there’s a need to segregate it so specifically is there? It would still make more sense to ask me instead, since we’re partnering on a project at the moment, while Nakamaru-kun’s already busy with his own project.”
“I just thought of Yuichi first.” Kame lied. Before Yamapi could question further, a voice interrupted.
“Ohayou, I hope you weren’t kept waiting.” Koki, who had just arrived greeted cheerily as he stepped through the glass doors. “Come, let’s head to the studio, where Asami-san is waiting.”
“Yes, let’s get going.” Kame quickly walked in step with Koki, as they headed to the studio, glad to hold off any further questioning.
“Hai, hai. This way. Watch your step. This way, Yamashita-san.” Koki gestured as he opened the studio. “Shitsurei shimasu. Ohayou Asami-san. The marketing representatives, Kamenashi-san and Yamashita-san are here.”
* * * * *
“So Kamenashi-san, I think we’ve covered what we need to discuss with Asami-san? Any more questions?” Koki beckoned after the hour-long meeting.
“Thanks, Tanaka-san. I think we’re done.” Kame indicated that the meeting was over as he stood up to shake the young singer’s hand. “Asami-san, it’s a pleasure having you as a part of this project.”
After the usual formalities, the trio left the studio and made their way to the lift lobby. “So Yamashita-san, you think the meeting went well?” Koki asked as they stepped into the lift.
Yamapi nodded. “I think it went pretty smoothly, Tanaka-san.”
“Great. Glad you think so too. We’ll be able to start the shoot next week then.”
“Koki, you’ll be sending me a softcopy of the treatment?”
“Of course. I know how you like it done, Kame-chan.” Koki grinned, as he switched easily to an informal tone to match Kame’s. “So you’re heading back to the office now?”
“Why Koki, you wanna give me a lift?”
“Hai, anything for Kame-chan ne.” Koki chuckled as he draped his arm round Kame’s shoulders. “If you have time, we should go for a drink first.”
“It’s the middle of the day, Koki. Too early to drink. Plus I have to get back to the office.”
“Yeah, I knew you would say that. You’re such a workaholic. Fine I’ll settle with escorting you back to your office. Yamashita-san, I’ll give you a lift too, of course.”
* * * * *
“Asami-san seems very taken towards Kame-chan ne.” Koki teased as he drove out of the car park, hitting the main street.
“Nani itten da yo.” Kame dismissed with a smile, as he leaned back into the front passenger seat, absent-mindedly glancing at the sideview mirror. He could see Yamapi’s reflection. As usual, that pretty face jerk was expressionless as he sat in the backseat.
“But she really seems to like you a lot compared to the rest of us at the meeting today. She was nicer to you.”
“She was the same to everyone.”
“Usually, she’s not this approachable. But today, she was all syrupy and ‘Kamenashi-san’ this, ‘Kamenashi-san’ that.”
“Was not.”
“And making doe eyes at you ne, Kame-chan.”
“She was not. And really, don’t go around saying such things. I don’t want to get killed by over-zealous fans.”
“Don’t worry. If anyone dares to even try to hurt Kame-chan, ore ga korosu.” Koki made a scary face.
“Kowai na, Koki.” Kame chuckled.
“Desshou?” Koki laughed along, as they pulled up into the office building driveway. “Well, here you are.”
“Thanks, Koki.” As he got off the car, Kame wasn’t sure but he thought he caught a glimpse of a glower on the usual stoic face in the reflection in the sideview mirror. But he figured he must have been seeing things, as Yamapi was smiling as he thanked Koki for the ride.
“Thanks for the lift, Tanaka-san.”
“Ja, see you at the shoot next week.” Koki waved before he drove away.
Not wanting to bear with the awkwardness whenever the two of them were alone, Kame quickly turned and walked briskly towards the lift lobby, not waiting to see if Yamapi followed.
Suddenly, he felt a hand grab his arm, pulling him in another direction. Kame’s eyes widened as Yamapi continued to drag him away from the direction of the lift lobby. He tried to shrug Yamapi’s hold but to no avail.
“Where are you taking me to?” Kame asked, voice filled with annoyance. Yamapi, however, did not bother answering him, and only stopped when they reached a secluded area behind the office building.
“What the hell are we doing here?” Kame snapped once more, as he finally managed to shrug his arm free of Yamapi’s hold. The very next second however, Kame found himself backed up against the wall, Yamapi’s arm resting just above his head as the latter hovered inches away from him.
“Kame-chan, you’re really popular, aren’t you?”
Kame blinked, then realised that he had been holding his breath. Honestly, he was getting a bit scared by the expression that Yamapi held at the moment. The usual calm facade was now overtaken by one of anger and frustration. The air of arrogance still remained, but the sarcastic smirk was replaced by a pure look of annoyance and… jealousy?
Kame shook his head. Yamapi? Jealous? He almost laughed at the thought.
“Kiite yo.”
“Nani?” Kame replied, suddenly curious as to what it took to make Yamapi really blow off his top.
Yamapi sighed exasperatedly. “Are you trying to annoy me on purpose? Acting like a slut around everyone else and then pretending to be all innocent now.”
“What?!” Kame shoved Yamapi away. “What do you mean by acting like a slut? When did I ever do that?”
“I just don’t like the way you behave with other people.”
“You’re mad! I don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
Yamapi was about to refute when Kame’s mobile phone rang. Kame took out his phone and walked away, thankful for the interruption.
“Moshi?”
“Kame, there’s a problem with the models for the Supernova fashion show. You need to get back to the office.”
“Okay, I’ll be right back.” Kame turned back to glare at Yamapi as he ended his call. “I have no time to have this useless conversation with you. I’m going back to the office.”
Kame hurried back to the office, not bothering to wait for Yamapi’s response. When he got back, he found out that there was a scheduling error and that half of the models hired were not going to be able to turn up for the fashion show because they were already booked for another engagement earlier. Kame was going to have to reselect the models by this afternoon if they were going to be able to get the models for the weekend’s show.
He was flipping through the models’ portfolios, when the door to the meeting room opened and Yamapi walked in.
Kame rolled his eyes. “I have no time to talk to you.”
“Okada-san asked me to help you with the selection.” Yamapi stated, seemingly back to his usual composure as he settled into the seat next to Kame and pulled out a file from the stack on the table. “How come there’s so many problems with this Supernova project?”
“If you want to help, then could you please keep your mouth shut before you piss me off further?”
Yamapi shrugged but kept silent for the rest of the time, as both of them flipped through the folders and picked out the potential list of replacement models. Kame had lost track of time when Yuichi poked his head into the room, carrying a bag of bento sets.
“Lunch is served!” Yuichi announced as he set the bentos on the table in front of his two colleagues.
“Sankyuu!” Kame smiled briefly at Yuichi, before turning back to his work.
“Ganbatte ne, you two!” Yuichi said as he left the room.
A few more portfolios later, they finally finished selecting the models. Kame quickly noted down all the names, then stood up hurriedly, wanting to fax the list to the modelling agency as soon as possible. In his haste though, he tripped over one of the legs of the chair, falling forward.
“Watch out.” Yamapi reached out, wanting to grab Kame before the latter fell, but instead tripped himself and found himself falling forward as well, landing on the other man.
Both froze for a split second.
“Get off!” Kame tried to push Yamapi off him as he felt his face flush. “Get off!”
“Eh, I thought you fell on purpose so that’ll I’ll come help you and we’ll get in this position.” Yamapi remarked as he got off Kame, brushing his pants.
“Nobody asked you to come and help me. And what kind of person comes and help and ends up falling instead.” Kame grumbled as he grabbed the paper and bento and hurried out of the room. He was going to fax the paper and then eat next to Yuichi where he was safe from this crazy sick fellow.
* * * * *
“The modelling problem has been settled. Rehearsals may be a bit tight but hopefully things will proceed smoothly for the show this weekend.” Kame said to Okada the next day, as he settled into the chair opposite. He sighed. “So many things have gone wrong for this Supernova project. I’m glad it’s going to be over soon, hopefully without anymore mishaps.”
“Well, you know Sakaki. I guess he didn’t think he needed to settle things properly since he was leaving anyway.” Okada commented. “Anyway, I just got a call from the regional team that we’re going to launch the new beer product. Well it’s not new, since Rawleys has already been launched by our parent company in New York, but they wanna bring it to the Japanese market.”
“I’ll take this.” Kame volunteered.
“Really? Actually, I was just going to say that I’ll put Yamashita on it. He was part of the team who handled the project when he was in New York. And for this launch, we’re using the same agency that we used in New York, so there’s no pitch. Since Yamashita was already doing this in New York, I thought it’ll be easier if I just let him continue on it. But if you’re interested…”
“Oh, that’s fine. Just let him take charge of it.”
“Well, I don’t mind putting two people on it, since you two are already working on Eien together as well. It might have been launched in New York, but it’s a new product here so it’s quite a big project. Yamashita might need the help.”
“You can ask Jin to work with him. They’re good friends, and Jin likes speaking in English.”
“You don’t like working with Yamashita?”
“I didn’t say that.”
“I thought you never let personal feelings get in the way of work.”
“I don’t.”
“Fine then. You’ll second him on this project. Can you tell him about it later? And ask him to meet me after lunch for a briefing. You should probably join us too.”
Kame knew that was no point arguing with Okada when he had already made up his mind. Anyway, he was only going to assist Yamapi where necessary, and hopefully there won’t be too many such occassions. When he walked out of Okada’s room and headed towards Yamapi’s desk, he was surprised to see that Yamapi seemed to have already gone for lunch.
“Oh good, you’re out. Let’s go for lunch.” Yuichi said as he got up from his seat.
“Yah, we had to wait for you.” Jin added as he walked round to Yuichi’s side. “I’m starving!”
“Where’s Yamashita?”
“Yamapi’s gone for a lunch date with a kouhai from school.” Jin said, before adding conspiratorily. “I think he used to like her.”
“Really? Is she pretty? She must be.” Yuichi asked. “Where are they having lunch? Let’s go take a peek.”
“Yuichi, you’re such a busybody.” Jin said. “Actually, I also want to take a look, but I dunno where they’re meeting.” He added, as the duo started making their way towards the lift. “Oi, Kame! Hurry up! I’m hungry. Let’s go, let’s go.”
* * * * *
The three of them had finished lunch without much fanfare. It’s been a while since Kame had went out for lunch with Yuichi and Jin, since he had been busy with work. And it was also partly because he wanted to avoid Yamapi, who had been lunching with Jin and Yuichi for the past week.
“Hey! Isn’t that Yamapi?!” Yuichi suddenly shouted, pointing towards a nearby restaurant.
“Sou! Sou!” Jin nodded. “And that’s Sugimoto-chan. Oooh she looks different from when I last remembered. She’s even prettier now.”
Kame looked at where Yuichi and Jin were pointing. Yamapi was seated by the window seat, smiling and listening intently as the girl sitting opposite him chatted away. He did not recall ever seeing Yamapi smile like this before, so kind, gentle, and unguarded. Granted that he didn’t know Yamapi for long so maybe he couldn’t really make a judgment, but from what he saw, it was obvious that Yamapi had a soft spot for the girl before him. He felt a pang of jealousy, but immediately scolded himself mentally for getting jealous over someone who was obviously not interested in him.
During the briefing and work later, Kame made sure to maintain his composure and act like nothing had happened. He was not going to let Yamapi affect his work. Whoever Yamapi dated was none of his business. Yamapi was just a colleague, an acquaintance at best.
“Kame, you’re free tonight right?”
Eh? Kame hesitated, looking warily at Yamapi. “Why?”
“Since we’re having the Rawleys launch event at a club, the Account Executive from S&A would like to bring us to take a look at the proposed locations. He wants us to go tonight because he’ll be flying off tomorrow morning. If we can’t meet him tonight, then the earliest we can meet him again is end of next week, which is pushing it a bit late.”
“Oh, okay, I see. Yeah, tonight’s fine.”
“Great. He’ll be down to meet us at nine-thirty. You can go back first then come back later if you want to.”
“It’s okay, I’ll just finish up some work until then.”
“Alright. Talk to you later.”
* * * * *
Kame wondered why he even had to tag along. Yamapi appeared fine handling the job on his own, not in need of him to be some sort of babysitter. What’s more, the Account Executive was American, and Kame had to converse in English with him, which lead to Yamapi snickering at his poor language skills. In the end, Kame opted to just follow and not say anything. If anything, maybe it wasn’t safe for Yamapi to be alone anyway, what with that guy’s pretty face and all.
Having stopped at two clubs, they were finally at the last one in Roppongi. Bored, Kame excused himself and took a seat at the bar counter, leaving Yamapi to recee the club with the Account Executive, Tyler.
Elbows against the counter, he leaned back, surveying the dancing crowd swarming the expanse of the ground level dance floor. He vaguely spotted Yamapi and the S&A Account Executive proceeding up the stairs before they disappeared among the milling club-goers on the second floor of the club. Turning his line of sight back to the dance floor in front of him, Kame stifled a yawn. He hoped the other two would be done checking out the place soon. Swivelling round in his seat, he turned back towards the counter, leaning forward on one elbow, while his other hand tapped absentmindedly on the smooth counter surface.
Then, a glass was placed in front of him. Kame looked up in surprise at the bartender. “I didn’t order anything.”
“It’s free.”
“Oh.” Kame blinked. Did the club entrance fee come with a free drink? He forgot if he noticed a sign like that at the door, since the club manager had let them in. So technically he wasn’t entitled to a drink. “I didn’t-” Kame was about to say just that, but the bartender was already hurrying away, beckoned by another customer on the far side of the bar.
Kame looked down at the vodka lime in front of him. Oh well. Why let it go to waste? He put the glass to his lips, taking a sip and leaning back against the counter to count the minutes that ticked away as he waited.
* * * * *
The S&A guy thanked the club manager before turning back to Yamapi. “Well, I guess that’s that. Any preferences from what you’ve seen, Yamashita-san?”
“Since we’re keeping the marketing campaign in line with what was done for Rawleys’s back in NY, I think the first club we saw would be more suited to our target audience. The crowd’s younger.”
“Okay. Let me make the arrangments and check if we can get the booking dates.” Just then Tyler’s mobile tone interrupted them. “Excuse me… Hello? James?…. What? Ok, I’ll be right there.” Tyler cut off his call. “Sorry, Yamashita-san. I’ve got an emergency. Have to rush back now. Are you and Kamenashi-san alright making your way back on your own?”
“No worries. We’ll grab a cab.”
“Thanks. Please tell Kamenashi-san sorry on my behalf, Yamashita-san. I’ll give you a call sometime in the next few days.” Tyler shook Yamapi’s hand..
“Yeah, sure, talk to you soon.”
After Tyler rushed off towards the exit, Yamapi turned back to make his way towards the bar counter at the other end of the dance floor, where Kame had said he would wait at. When he was finally at the bar counter however, Kame wasn’t at the seat where he had left him. Hmm, where did he go? Yamapi looked around, wondering if Kame had perhaps gone off to the restroom. It was then that he saw Kame.
Kame on one of the elevated platforms along the dance floor. Wait, let his brain rephrase that. Kame dancing very provocatively on one of the elevated platforms along the dance floor. Now perhaps his brain could just leave it at that and enjoy the ’sight’ if that was just it. But Yamapi could not reconcile the hands that were pawing at Kame.
“Damn, you’re one hot, sexy- Ouch!” The low voice that had been leering at Kame grunted in pain. The man growled at the youth next to him who had grabbed his arm and was still holding it tightly. “What’s your problem, kid!?”
“Get your hands away from him.”
“What? Who are you to tell me what to do!?! I found him first.” The man glowered, but Yamapi merely steeled his grip.
“I said get your hands off him.”
“What if I don’t? It took me some effort to get him to this state. I’m not having it go to waste.” Before the man could pull back however, Yamapi had twisted the other’s arm further and dragged him physically away from Kame, keeping the younger boy shielded away from the other man.
“What? Is he your bitch?”
Yamapi hit out and the other man staggered back. He was just about to hit the guy again when he felt arms drapping themselves over him. “Pi….” Kame had wrapped his arms around his neck and was now rubbing his body up against his. It was… distracting.
“I’ll let you go now. But don’t be surprised if you find the police taking you in for drugging and molestation charges.” With that steely remark, Yamapi turned to adjust Kame’s hold, and guided the younger man out of the bar.
Somehow, they managed to make it to the sidewalk, despite Kame’s unsteady gait. Positioning themselves by the curb, Yamapi tried to hold Kame steady with one hand, while his free hand searched for his mobile to call a cab. Then, Kame started to fidget next to him.
“It’s so hot…” Kame began pulling at his tie.
“Kame, what are you doing?” Yamapi held Kame’s hands away from his collar, just as the other was trying to unbutton his shirt.
“But it’s so hot…it’s hot here.”
The cool night breeze that Yamapi could feel chilling his cheeks struck him as ironic as the younger man continued to struggle and tug at his shirt. “It’s hot..”
Yamapi cursed under his breath, that they were in the middle of the street right now. He assumed the younger man’s behaviour was the effect of some drug that the sleazebag had slipped into Kame’s drink. Actually, he would not have minded how Kame was moving and drapping himself all over him right now, considering his co-worker’s usual attitude towards him, but for the unfortunate fact that they were out in the open.
“Pi …. I feel all hot…. ” Kame whined into Yamapi’s neck, his warm breath blowing against cool skin.
Damn.
When they finally made it onto the taxi, Kame continued to fidget and pull at his shirt. Actually, it was already half undone, whilst the short time Yamapi had let go of his hands to help him into the taxi. Yamapi tried to button Kame’s shirt, but realised that some of the buttons had popped in Kame’s haste. He looked around for Kame’s jacket. Even though Kame kept saying it was hot due to the effect of the drug, it was technically still a cold night, and it wouldn’t do well for him to catch a cold. But he didn’t see Kame’s jacket. Of course. He had already not been wearing it when Yamapi saw him on the platform earlier. It must have been left behind somewhere.
“Pi…” Kame face was flushed, as he pulled one of Yamapi’s hands that were attempting to hold his shirt close and placed it against his thigh. “I… I need…”
Yamapi got the hint, yet couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at Kame’s boldness. He had enough sense to know that he could not help Kame in any way right now though, except make sure that Kame’s clothes were still on. It was then that he noticed the taxi driver looking at them through the rearview mirror, and immediately scowled.
“What are you looking at? Keep your eyes on the road.” Yamapi snapped.
Despite all the provocation throughout the taxi ride, Yamapi was proud to say that he had not acted on impulse and managed to get Kame back to the younger man’s apartment. He didn’t care though that he was probably touching Kame in all the wrong places as he started fishing in Kame’s pockets for the key. Unlocking the door, Yamapi pushed it open and led both of them into the pitch darkness of the apartment.
As he tried to feel around in search of the switch to the house lights, he felt Kame move away from him. A flick of the switch later and Yamapi found that Kame had already gotten rid of his shirt and was pulling his pants off. Now that they were in the safety of Kame’s studio apartment, he figured that there was no need in trying to cover up the younger man. Instead, he followed close behind as Kame moved towards his bed, enjoying the strip show that Kame was providing.
Yamapi licked his lips as he watched the sight before him. Kame was lying naked in bed, writhing, eyes closed and still moaning about how hot it was. It was a side of Kame that he had not expected to see. Kame’s hand reached down to embrace his hard cock, giving it a hard stroke, moaning as he did so. Yamapi swallowed hard, eyes transfixed, as he felt his own cock aching for release.
“Ah… Pi…”
Yamapi smirked. He felt his ego inflate at the realisation that Kame was thinking of him while jacking off, and it also made him even more turned on. He knew it was wrong to take advantage of Kame now when the other man was in this state, but Yamapi couldn’t care less.
Taking off his own clothes, Yamapi crawled onto the bed, knees at each side of Kame, and bent down, licking at bare skin near a nipple. Kame jerked at the touch. Yamapi then proceeded to do the same to the other nipple, as his hand moved to remove Kame’s hand from his cock. Kame whined for a split second at the lost touch before moaning again, when Yamapi wrapped his hand around Kame’s member, and placed Kame’s hand around his own, both stroking each other in time.
“Nn.. Ah…”
With each moan that Kame made, Yamapi stroked Kame’s cock faster and harder, hoping that Kame did the same to his. He leaned down closer to Kame, aching for more skin contact between them, as Kame, too, arched up his body to close the gap. Soon, Kame let out a gasp as he came to a climax, his hand releasing the hold on Yamapi’s member as spurt after spurt of his cum spilled all over his stomach and Yamapi’s hand.
“Mm… that was quite good.” Kame mumbled, slipping into unconsciousness.
Yamapi stared in disbelief, his eyes looking down at his own still hard cock, and at Kame who had dozed off to sleep just like that. He could feel that he was so close to climax, and this disruption was not helping him at all. Cursing his luck, Yamapi made his way towards the bathroom, determined to get back at Kame for this in future.

@Chapter 1
Aaaaaaaaaah, you posted already! *_______*
*jumps around happily*
Does that mean u also have a couple more chapters written already or did I just annoy u enough with my begging to post it immediately to post right away anyway? *laughs*
Either way, I’m so glad you did! ^o^~
And wow, u sure changed quite a lot from what I can still remember of the first chapter back then. But I guess that’s a good thing considering Pi and Kame kinda got together at the end of first chapter already X3 (It’s kinda amusing to see Yuichi there, now ^.~)
Didn’t u have some parts from Pi’s POV as well, back then? Now it’s all Kame’s so far, but that’s ok since it helps building up the suspence if we don’t know what’s going on in Pi’s head *g*
Pi seems kinda ‘normal’ (aka nice) so far, tho, apart from some minor craziness and some egoism, so I’m wondering how exactly he’ll be all the things u warned me of. Can’t wait to see some of them in action *winks* *runs*
@Chapter 1
YAY I am excited for a new story and also excited that Okada is in it since V6 kidnapped my brain and won’t let it go now.
And I like Kame’s PV since the majority of the PiKame relationship in Double Fault was from Pi’s, no?
But. HEE. *happy*
@Chapter 1
am so surprised that mina can remember the previous chapter one because i certainly can’t remember ANYTHING. lol
All i remember was kame falling down and was lying on top of yamapi and that’s all i remember….lmao
But omg i love the bickerings of jin and yuichi~ it is oh-so-fun!!! XD
You know what? while I was reading it, i was thinking that yamapi pretty sure remember kame in the train in the morning…because if i were him and a good looking guy falls on top of me, I SURE WILL REMEMBER THAT. LOL
like what mina said, pi seems so “normal” that i so don’t believe it *lol* And then when i read the end, and thinking, “ah there’s the actual normal yamapi” XD
okay, now i have to go out for dinner.
Am going to wait patient for your next chapters. But If I’m impatient, i’ll just go bug mina
——@Mina:
You’re super fast dude. Have to say that the next update might not come until AFTER my exams are over, which is about 2 weeks. But by then you should be able to figure out why I describe Pi that way.
Btw, when will you be updating 30 Kisses? And my YusukeRyu fic as well?? Wasn’t the latter supposed to be my birthday fic for THIS year?! My next birthday is not too far off you know. o_O
——@Justine:
Okada can be such <3 Did you see him doing air vocal in Gakkou? XD
And yeah, have a tendency to write from Pi’s POV, but it might be because it’s easier to get Pi-muse working (just give him lots of niku). Kame-muse is harder to please! D: Which is why I have a tendency to write from the other person’s POV instead of Kame’s! But this time, gonna try to have way more of his POV. XP
——@Maggie:
Well, what you read was less than what Mina read cos I can’t remember why I had to let her read some extra stuff. o_O
Oh, do you know that it was originally supposed to be RYO not Yuichi?! XD But ah, decided not to write Ryo this time… ^^;;
@Chapter 1
Muhahahar, I’m always fast when it comes to reading ur fics X3 Ok, most of the time *laughs*
Looking forwards to that update then ^___^
Yeah, it was supposed to be for this year’s bday, but if I keep this up, I might manage to give u one chapter every year, or something *gets killed*
And I got to read extra stuff becos you love me? ^.~ No, actually I think I was just bugging u as usual for more to read and u gave in eventually to make me shut up *lol*
Gnah, u went off so fast I couldn’t even wish u good luck for tmr anymore ~.~
So: Good luck!
@Chapter 1
Wow! I’m so happy you decided to write another fic ^_^ I read it only today because a friend said about it. Gomen. I liked a lot this first chapter, simply amazing, wonderful… please update soon… I miss PiKame so much *puppy dog pleading eyes* (^3^) *chu*
