Eiji broke the spell. He curled up against him and kissed him a little more. He was so adorably sleepy and affectionate after he came. Oishi loved when he was like this. "Hmm...we can't sleep together here, nya." he said and sounded very disappointed.

Oishi smiled. He had never thought to ever spend this much time on the tennis club room's floor. "No we can't, love." He smiled, "But when you said it, sleeping next to you, even here, I considered it."

Eiji laughed. "Nya here Oishi..." He wrinkled his nose adorably and they both laughed.

Oishi was thinking about how when he came, both times just now, it was very different than any other orgasm he had ever had. Then he had a thought and a question for Eiji, "Do you remember the first time you came?"

Eiji looked intrigued, "Hmm...ever?" Oishi nodded. "Nya, the first time I had an orgasm or the first time I came?" Oishi must have looked confused and Eiji's eyes darkened in annoyance. "Nya Oishi, you tell me yours first." Oishi wondered if Eiji was tired, because he kept getting so annoyed easily. It wasn't like him.

"Then you'll tell me?" Eiji nodded very interested but Oishi knew to get him to agree first before he told him anything. Eiji loved to bargain. "Okay, I'll tell you first and then you promise you'll tell me." Eiji nodded and rolled his eyes." Oishi kissed him before telling him, "I must have been ten and a half maybe eleven. Around that age. I had been kissing with that girl Keiko for a while since we were younger and this time she put her hand down my pants and touched me. I was hard and she touched me for the first time. It felt really good to be touched..."

Oishi saw a very annoyed look Eiji gave him and figured he was jealous. He tried to keep him from getting any more jealous. "I didn't come then." Oishi laughed a little remembering, "Actually I told her to stop and was mad and scared. I ran away. I went home to my grandparent's house. I was really hard and really embarrassed. I was scared someone in my family would notice or say something. It just would not go down." Eiji nodded at how horrible that was when you were very hard and it wouldn't stop. "It would not go away. I kept thinking of her touching me there and I'd seen guys in school make that gesture before. You know..." Oishi made the gesture with his hand. "I was in my grandparents bathtub before bed and it still would not go down. It was hours later. I didn't know what to do so I touched myself. I didn't come a lot, I guess I was still too young, but it felt really good." Oishi laughed at the memory of himself, "I was so worried about it because I wasn't sure it was okay, so I avoided her for weeks."

"Nya, but you did it again?" Eiji said smiling and already knowing the answer.

Oishi blushed crimson, "Yeah."

Eiji laughed in delight apparently at being right. "A lot?" he teased.

"Not right away, I was worried, but...yes." Eiji kissed him still laughing. Oishi felt a little annoyed at how well Eiji teased him, he wondered if he was tired too, "All right, now you know mine, its your turn to tell me."

"Nya. Oishi? You were hard before then?"

Oishi thought back, "I was I think, I must have been, but I guess it always went down by itself before then. Why?"

Eiji shrugged. "Nya, you never touched yourself before then?"

"I don't think so, why?" Eiji shrugged. He was also completely tense Oishi noticed. "Love, tell me about your first time. I want to know. Please?"

"Hoi. The first time I came I was eleven. I did it myself, alone, in my bed." Eiji shrugged.

Oishi knew that wasn't all. He was amazed at how Eiji could be so concerned he would reject him, even after everything they had said and sworn, even after knowing how Oishi felt. "Okay, so when is the first time you touched yourself?"

"Hoi.." Eiji started but then looked worried again, "...nya...the first time I touched myself or the first time had an orgasm?"

Oishi was lost. "You touched yourself and had an orgasm but you didn't come?" Eiji nodded. Oishi was surprised he didn't think you could have an orgasm without coming. He never had.

Eiji took a big breath. He looked down and away from him. "Nya...I was young. I don't know how old I was." He exhaled as if annoyed again.

Oishi was now worried, and jealous, and then worried again. He had heard that guys did it with each other sometimes, or to each other, or he had even heard of the circle jerk thing. Oishi had never, well not ever with a guy, just with girls, but maybe Eiji had. He would accept whatever Eiji told him, and he wanted him to know that he wasn't judging him. He just wanted to know. He softly asked, "Did someone else touch you Eiji?"

Eiji looked up at him now surprised. "No, nya Oishi." He put his head down again, but not before Oishi saw him pouting, "Nya, you're going to think I'm weird."

Oishi took Eiji's face in his hand and gently brought his lips up. He kissed him lightly and moved so he now lay on his side too. Eiji dropped his arm flat and out on the floor and put his head resting on it. Oishi did the same so they faced each other. "Kikumaru Eiji, I love you. I just want to know. I won't think you're weird. You know everything about me. I know now that what I did is weird, with all those girls. It wasn't easy for me to tell you and when I did I was really afraid that you wouldn't want to be with me anymore when you heard. If you don't want to tell me right now its okay, but I would like to know someday. All right?" He kissed Eiji on his cheek and his lips a few times. "I want to know everything about you." Oishi said and smiled when Eiji made a face he made when he declared loudly in school that someone or something was 'weird'. "Yes, even the weird things. Everything. There's nothing you can't tell me. All right?"

Eiji's brow creased. "Nya, what you did isn't weird, Oishi. You were just lonely. The girls made you feel so not alone." Eiji pursed his lips in thought like he did when he had a tough homework problem to solve. He threw his leg over Oishi's without realizing it and started to wrap himself around him. "Nya, I guess I did the same."

Oishi was lost. "Will you tell me?"

"Hoi. I had brothers and I was the youngest. I walked in on my oldest brother doing that to himself when I was young, like seven or eight. I was scared because he yelled at me. It wasn't my fault and I had no idea what he was doing. But then my other brother, who shared my room, about a year later, he used to do it with his friend and I saw them." Eiji made a face to show Oishi how shocked he was. "Nya, I don't think he's gay but Yoshino and his best friend," Eiji made another face to let Oishi know the best friends was another reason why this was hard for him to tell, "they used to read magazines with naked women in it and stuff and touch each other until they came. Not like us. They were weird. They wouldn't look at each other and they would talk about the girls they were looking at and just use each other's hands. No kissing or anything, nya. I know they're still friends but I don't know if they still do."

Oishi was surprised, "Really? You watched?"

"Hoi, they didn't know I saw. I hid. I didn't know what they were doing and they acted all..." Eiji mimicked heavy panting, "...and they did it every day. So, nya, one day after they were doing this all the time, asked my brother later what they were doing. Nya Oishi, he was so angry I was scared! He was so mad that I saw them. He didn't even know I watched before but thought I only saw one time." Eiji pouted, "It wasn't my fault. It was my room too. He wouldn't talk to me. He didn't. I promised him I wouldn't tell and you're the only person I've ever told. But he still wouldn't talk to me for a long time. They stopped doing it at our house and he was always at his friend's house every day after school. He slept over there all the time and I had to sleep in my room all alone."

Oishi smiled wanting to reassure Eiji and because he knew how he was. "You missed him. You were little and you didn't understand." Eiji nodded.

"Nya, I never had to sleep in my room alone before. His friends all always slept over our house. That first night he stayed over there I cried all night and couldn't sleep. No one would let me sleep in their beds with them." Eiji pouted.

Oishi held him closer, "You were lonely." Only Eiji in a house of so many could be lonely. If one person didn't like him it broke his heart even if a hundred others adored him. Oishi kissed him.

"Hoi. Sometimes its hard being the youngest. No one would talk to me or tell me things. I was always the last to know everything, they would have jokes that I wouldn't understand, and they would whisper things and tell me I was too young to hear. I would ask a question and they would all laugh at me or make fun of me and not answer me. They were mean and thought it was funny. They would leave and everyone would have friends and places to go to and someone would be stuck watching me. Babysitting me, and they would be angry that they had to stay with me." Eiji pouted while he remembered. "Nya, they didn't try to be so mean but they were sometimes. They would laugh at me and call me stupid. I really hate it when they call me stupid and tease me, nya." He said it almost in a whisper.

Eiji looked at Oishi and Oishi nodded to show he understood. Oishi's heart broke a little for him. He wanted to protect him so that no one ever did that to him again. Even if it was by Eiji's big family who really loved him. "What would you do when they did that, love?"

Eiji shrugged, "Nya. I would smile and make jokes like I always do. I would make them all laugh. I would pretend it didn't bother me and then they wouldn't know." He looked away and then back at Oishi, "When they saw that it bothered me, they would sometimes tease me worse so it was better to pretend." Oishi ran his hand softly through the back of Eiji's hair. Eiji gave him a half smile and a kiss. Then he said, "Nya, I was about nine when I first had an orgasm. My brother rarely slept at home after that and when he did he got in late. I touched myself a few times before then and it felt good. I didn't feel so alone when I did. I used to stop though and then go to sleep. This one time though, nya, I kept going and didn't stop to see what would happen. If it would be like my brother and his friend. I had an orgasm, it felt really good, but it was dry. I didn't come because I couldn't yet. I was too young. I looked it up online Oishi, nya, lots of guys do."

Oishi ran his hand over Eiji's back feeling his soft skin. He kissed his cheek and understood a little more about his amazing boyfriend. "How often would you do it?"

Eiji shrugged, "Just sometimes. Just when I felt lonely and couldn't sleep. I didn't even come until a long time later."

"You did it like me when you were lonely." Oishi suddenly was aware that just like Eiji had probably touched himself when he was lonely, Oishi had done the same thing only with all those girls. He was a little shocked at the discovery and very ashamed, especially when he realized that Eiji knew this about him long before he had even figured it out. "But mine is worse, I hurt people without meaning to."

"Nya only worse if you did it after when you knew. You didn't know." Eiji leaned in and kissed him. "Nya Oishi, you're the best person I know. You would never hurt someone and mean to. The only times I ever saw you hurt someone and mean to was when you were protecting someone else. You said whenever you saw a girl had feelings for you and you didn't for her, you broke it off and then tried to be a good friend to the girl, nya?" Oishi nodded. "Hoi Oishi, its okay. You're young and were just lonely." Eiji kissed him again. "Nya Oishi, I already told you, you're never going to be alone again, hoi?"

He looked very cute and eager as he told this to Oishi with his eyes big in understanding and a sweet smile on his lips. Oishi went from feeling bad to feeling so much love for him in an instant. He kissed him and put his arms around him. "Eiji, you're never going to be alone again either." Eiji smiled and nodded. He kissed Oishi for a moment until Oishi pulled away. He still was curious, "Did it feel different when it was dry, the orgasm, and when you came?"

Eiji nodded and made a face to show Oishi how different. "Hoi! Much better when you come. So much better it scared me the first time, nya." He made an afraid face for Oishi to laugh at and they both laughed. Eiji cocked his head to the side and thought a second, "Hoi, different like touching yourself and making love. Both feel good but, nya, making love is much, much better." He smiled and then looked vulnerable as if just realizing what he admitted out loud even to his boyfriend. Oishi kissed him and didn't let him up for air until he laughed. "Hoi, making love with you is much, much better. Much better than anything Oishi."

Oishi smiled, "I agree, it is." He kissed him but Eiji pulled away and sat up.

"Nya, better than girls?" Oishi nodded and sat up to face him. "Nya, everything?"

Oishi smiled, "Yes."

"Nya, I kiss the best?"

Oishi smiled a little more, "Yes." Then he kissed him just because he could. He did lick the upper part of Eiji's top lip though just to make him laugh.

Eiji stopped laughing too soon though. He wanted to know this. "Nya, what about everything else?"

"Have I done everything else or are you better at everything else?" Oishi smiled. Eiji pondered the question and Oishi saw him pout slightly. Something about this mattered a lot to him. So Oishi said, "If I haven't done something else then my boyfriend will show me and it will be amazing because he is the best at everything else."

Eiji half smiled and looked hopeful, "Nya, really Oishi?" Oishi was serious and nodded. They fit together so well he was amazed Eiji even had to ask. "Hoi, do I do things different than girls do it?"

Oishi thought for a moment. "You might, just because you're a guy, but I love that you're a guy. I love that you know where and how to touch me and that we can talk like this. Sort of like if you were with a girl you would know where things were on her but have to learn how to do it because you haven't done it. You and I learned each other but already knew what we each liked because we're guys. I love making you feel good and that you love to make me feel good too. Is that what you mean?"

"Hoi." Eiji said but there was still a shadow lingering there and his smile wasn't his usual full and happy one.

Oishi pulled him closer. "Kikumaru Eiji, I love making love to you. I love touching you, kissing you, and making you feel good. I love you making love to me. I love you touching me, kissing me, and making me feel good. I am completely happy. I want things just like this with us always." Oishi smiled and admitted cringing inwardly but knowing Eiji would like to know this, "I was hard today in class just thinking about you."

Now of course, Eiji looked interested, "Nya, you were? I was too. What were you thinking?"

"I wasn't even thinking really about sex. I was missing you because I barely saw you this morning. I didn't see you after practice and wished I could have kissed you and the next thing I knew I was hard." Oishi shook his head in amazement. It had happened so fast and several times during the day. Not to mention when they worked out and he touched him. It was difficult with other people around but Eiji and being with him had made it so much fun that he had forgot about it. Sort of.

"Nya! Me too!" Eiji smiled wide now.

"After practice? This morning?" Eiji nodded. "I was going to text you, but felt embarrassed. I couldn't text you that, but I wanted to. I missed you. All day. I loved using your toothbrush after you did. Remind me to give it back to you."

Eiji smiled and bit his lower lip. "Hoi, I liked it too. I missed you too Oishi." He leaned up and kissed him while smiling.

"Eiji, come shower with me? Its getting late and I want to walk you home with lots of time to kiss you, love."

"Nya Oishi..." Eiji whined it. He didn't want to part.

Oishi understood and didn't want to either but this was how things were for now. So Oishi interrupted him mid-whine. "Plus I want to take my boyfriend for ramen like I promised before I take him home."

Eiji sighed, "Hoi." He stretched and naked did a backbend that lead up into a handstand that lead to him flipping over. Oishi was glad Eiji no longer had to run to the bathroom after they made love but he blinked as all kinds of new ideas and positions ran through his head to try with his very bendy boyfriend. Eiji his sex monster was turning him into a pervert too. Eiji must have seen the look and the ensuing blush that was on Oishi's face from just watching him and smiled. He held out his hands to help Oishi up and held him close a minute after they were standing. Then Eiji went and grabbed the stuff he washed with and walked off to the showers saying something about Oishi should just use his things because his were the best.

Oishi smiled and followed him after remembering to grab a new towel for himself and Eiji's out of his bag. He didn't want him getting cold.

Eiji walked to the farthest side and turned the water on extremely hot. Oishi realized he must love how very scalding the school water always was. There seemed to be no in between temperatures. It was hot, hotter, or ice. Eiji wrinkled his nose and dipped his head back. He ran water all over himself and then started washing his hair. Oishi stepped in the water with him having tossed the towels on a bench. The water was really not hot enough for Eiji.

"What smells bad, love?"

"Nya, you can't smell that?" Eiji wrinkled his nose, "Sex?"

Oishi shook his head no and said, "Sex, us?" Eiji blushed the color of his hair and shook his head no. Oishi guessed in a little horror, "You can smell Fuji and Tezuka from before!" Eiji nodded making a face. "Its that strong?" Oishi could not smell a thing and was extremely glad.

"Nya, not any more. It was when we first walked in. You didn't notice then?"

"Not at all. I didn't notice anything" Oishi thought, "Oh, is that why you didn't want to shower earlier?"

"Nya, I couldn't wait." He grinned, "Hoi, a little though. Now its not strong and now all I smell is my shampoo, nya." Eiji said handing it to Oishi. Oishi kissed him as they switched places under the water. "Nya, but it doesn't smell like Fuji or Tezuka. Just like..." He paused as if smelling or remembering, "just like sex but not of anyone. Its weird. Its bad. Its wrong." He made a face and then kissed Oishi as if making himself forget all about it. "Nya, I'm really the best?"

"At everything, yes. At kissing, yes." Oishi kissed him again just because he could and he loved it. Loved him. "Yes, you are the best, love." He said in a little bit of a growl. Even sated he wanted him constantly. Eiji smiled seeing the effects he had on Oishi. He leaned naked and soapy into him and kissed him as if they had not made love twice already.

"Nya, even when I have you in my mouth? When you come in my mouth?" Eiji asked, wickedly teasing him.

Oishi kissed him back and gave a little moan remembering his mouth on him earlier. He was so good at that. So good Oishi had wondered if Eiji had done it before even their first time. Oishi thought of him flipping over and looked shocked at Eiji. "You can do it to yourself." Oishi said in awe of him without thinking.

He regretted it the instant it came out of his mouth. Because Eiji went from being happy in his arms, teasing him, and smiling, to pushing him away extremely upset. Oishi held him close to him and would not let him leave no matter how much Eiji struggled to get away. "Eiji! Eiji! Wait, please! No, love, you can't leave. You're soaking wet. Stay with me. Eiji, its all right. Eiji, I'm not letting you go."

Eiji yelled at him to let him go and called Oishi names. Everything from a bully to a jerk to worse. He was nearly in a panic to get away and then suddenly he started crying. Oishi could not figure out why.

Oishi half lead and half dragged him over to the bench where he had thrown their towels down. He held Eiji to him and would not let him go. "Shh. Shh love. Its all right. Its okay. I don't think anything bad. I'm sorry. I spoke without thinking because it surprised me and I'm sorry but I don't think its bad. Eiji, I don't. There's nothing wrong with it. You know I love when you do that to me. Ei-ji. Eiji, please talk to me. Shh...don't be upset anymore. Please don't be mad at me. Its all right."

Eventually Eiji calmed down and Oishi loosened his grip but still would not let him go. Eiji would still not look at him. Oishi considered that they had to stop fighting in the shower like this. One or both of them would end up catching a cold otherwise. "That's what you wondered about if you were as good as a girl other than kissing? Yes, if you still want to know, you're better at that too. I love when you do that. I always have." Oishi smiled, "You know the first time I did that to you, I was so scared and nervous my heart was pounding. I was really worried what you would think but hoped you liked it. I wanted you to feel good. I really liked pleasing you though, and I really liked when you came really hard in my mouth. I wasn't prepared for the after though." Oishi made a very little face. He saw Eiji was watching him though he was not reacting at all. "But now I don't mind. I love making you feel good."

Oishi noticed he was rubbing Eiji's back in circles like he did when he had a bad dream. Eiji let him so he kept doing it. "The first time, I was terrible jealous of Fuji, remember because he had kissed you? I thought maybe he had taught you or done it to you because you were so good at it. You're still better than me at it. I didn't think anything bad. I don't and I'm really sorry I upset you Eiji."

"Nya, what did you think?" Eiji said it so softly that over the still running water, Oishi almost didn't hear him.

"Honestly, when I said it I thought that you were amazing. The next thing I thought was that I want you to show me sometime. And after that I want you to show me how you like it best next time so I can please you more when I do it to you. That is all I thought, Eiji. Nothing else. Nothing bad." He saw Eiji looking at him. "I swear." Eiji still looked at him, "And I'm sorry, Eiji."

Eiji whispered something. Oishi held him closer so he could hear him, "Nya, I said I like how you do it. I'm sorry."

Oishi smiled, "Shh. There's nothing to be sorry for, love."

"Nya! I got upset! I called you names!"

"Oh. That. Okay, you can say sorry for those. Some of those were mean." But they were how Eiji and his family fought so Oishi had not taken any of them personally.

"Sorry." Eiji said while pouting and then punched Oishi playfully but hard in the arm. "Nya you big bully, not letting me go."

"Ouch!" Oishi said. After Oishi holding Eiji back so forcefully him saying ouch over a light punch was funny and they both laughed. "I just didn't want you to leave." Oishi also realized that Eiji had wanted to be held back. He was strong and fast. If he really had wanted to get away, he could have.

"Nya! You locked us in, where could I go?" Eiji said a little annoyed.

"I didn't hurt you did I?" Oishi said suddenly concerned.

Eiji shook his head no. "Nya, do you want to know now?" He said annoyed and guarded. Oishi knew he wouldn't have offered if he didn't want to tell. Oishi nodded yes. "Nya, I tried it on myself before we even kissed to see what it felt like but didn't ever come that way. On you it really was like swallowing noodles. I only really did it like that the week I was hurt. I looked those things up online, what men liked because I missed you and was curious. I read that some guys do that to themselves all the time. I didn't think about doing it all the way before then." Eiji looked away. He seemed to be considering saying something important. Oishi braced for his latest revelation.

"Nya Oishi. One guy I used to do acrobatics with used to do it to himself. He told someone about it. The guy told everyone and when all the guys found out, everyone made fun of him. Really bad, nya. They were very mean to him. It was really bad. He quit and never came back." He looked at Oishi seriously and worried for some reason, "I heard later Oishi that they hurt him. Some of the guys held him down and hurt him because he used to do that to himself." Eiji made a face to show Oishi how much that scared him. Oishi understood a little more and his heart nearly stopped for a moment thinking of Eiji ever being hurt like that.

"Nya, I didn't think you would do that to me when you came over that night. Nya, I didn't think you wanted to be my friend anymore or anything else. Or kiss me. But when you did, it felt really good. Better than when I did it on myself because it was you. I like how you do it." Eiji pouted, "Just seeing and talking to you after missing you was really good, and then you kissed me. I missed you. I love you. Nya, I'm sorry I got upset." Eiji slowly as he talked, without seeming to realize it, moved so he was closer to Oishi. He sat closer on his lap and wrapped his legs around him.

Eiji kissed his face and neck and said after each kiss, "Nya, I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Just like Oishi had when they had fought another time.

"I'm sorry too. Better?" Oishi asked and then kissed him back.

"Nya, not yet love." Eiji smiled and kissed him. He then said annoyed, "Nya Oishi! I'm not done showering again." Oishi laughed and then Eiji laughed when Oishi stood up picking Eiji up again.

They walked back to the water holding hands. "What happened to the guy everyone made fun of? The one who got hurt?" Oishi asked.

"Nya, he was mean to everyone and he went to another place to do acrobatics and gymnastics. He plays tennis now." Eiji looked down. "I laughed at him with everyone else Oishi. I didn't stop them when they were mean to him and I didn't know they hurt him until later. He and I were the youngest but were good enough to practice and learn with the older guys. Actually both of us were better than even the older guys were but he always rubbed in in everyone's face. I didn't. Everyone liked me and not him because he was always mean to people. I didn't want them to be mean to me too so I didn't help him. We weren't friends, and he was always kind of a jerk to me, but, nya, I shouldn't have done nothing and gone along with everyone."

"You feel bad still?" Eiji shrugged, "Did you ever go to him and say sorry?"

"Nya, I tried but it was before I knew they hurt him. He was a jerk to me." Eiji shrugged. "He hates me." For this not to bother Eiji that someone hates him, Oishi realized the guy must be a total jerk.

"Well it sounds like he was a jerk to everyone and was very competitive with you. He must have been very jealous that you were as good as him and everyone liked you too. You could do it too?" Eiji nodded. "It would have been very bad if they figured out you could do what he did, right?" Eiji nodded with his eyes wide showing Oishi how bad it might have been. How much it scared him when he heard what had happened. Oishi knew how cruel kids could be just with teasing. Especially in a competitive setting where someone talented was cocky. A person like that would be picked on unmercifully. But no matter how cocky someone was, to be attacked for it was horrible and inexcusable.

"Kikumaru, I know you tried your best to be his friend. And to say sorry to him. Its his loss." Oishi thought for a moment, "Why did he tell anyone about that?"

Now Eiji smiled, "Nya, he was bragging to them, he was just stupid and said too much. He was always bragging how he was better than everyone else." Eiji paused and thought, "But nya! It was bad. They hurt him Oishi!"

"And that is why you got so upset when I asked you?"

Eiji nodded. "Hoi. Sorry Oishi. I thought I was stupid and said too much." Eiji smiled, "But nya, its you, and now you know everything." He switched places with Oishi to get under the spray.

Oishi watched him rinsing off under the water while trying to keep his drying hair out of it, he had a thought as dreadful as it was, "Love, is there anything else I should know?"

"Else? Nya! Nothing else." Eiji said laughing. He turned around holding Oishi's hand like they had when Oishi showed him how to slow dance. Oishi laughed and spun him back to him kissing him when they met. Eiji sighed and touched his hair as if checking to see how it was or if he should start over.

"You're just going to eat with me and then home love. You look fine. Very handsome." He thought Eiji would at least laugh or smile but instead, surprisingly his eyes flashed annoyed again. "Eiji? What's wrong? Since tennis you keep getting...I'm not sure, annoyed at everything. Are you tired?"

Eiji looked shocked. "Nya..." He cocked his head to the side in thought. "Nya, I think its that smell it makes me feel...angry...upset. It smells...wrong, nya." He pressed himself up against Oishi and kissed him, closing his eyes. After a long time kissing, he sighed, "Hmm...Oishi, I feel better with you but I don't like that smell. I feel much more upset with that smell. Nya, I'm sorry."

"Its okay, we'll just finish up and get out of here, all right?"

"Hmm...sorry." Eiji still had not let him go. "Smelling you makes me feel better. You don't smell it, nya?"

"No, I only smell you. And your shampoo. So stay close to me and only smell me." Oishi smiled at him and backed them both up to rinse Eiji as well as himself. He stood under the still too hot water for a moment while Eiji leaned against him. Eiji stood on his feet and when they were done, Oishi turned off the water, and backwards walked both of them over to their towels with Eiji standing on his feet. He handed Eiji his but Eiji didn't move so Oishi wrapped him in it. Then he took his own and dried Eiji's hair before himself not caring if his towel was wet. Eiji got cold so easily.

"Hmm...I love you."

"I love you too." He kissed him.

"Nya, I'm sorry I got so upset."

"Its okay." He kissed him again.

"Nya, I'm sorry I called you names."

"Its all right, love." Again a little longer kiss.

"Nya, I'm sorry I had all that to tell you."

"I'm glad you told me everything. I understand a lot more about you now. You can tell me anything Eiji." Another kiss. It was almost like he was in reverse giving Eiji his kisses for him.

"Nya, I'm sorry I was such a jerk to you freshman year."

That was a strange one. "You weren't a jerk to me." Oishi kissed him a little more.

"Nya, I was. You always wanted to play doubles with me and I thought you were just making me look bad. I never could beat you and I wanted to."

"Its okay, we just didn't know each other very well but now we do so its good, right?" A little more kissing was always good.

"Hmm." Eiji agreed and leaned up to kiss him more. He then turned and skipped away from Oishi leaving him standing in the shower area alone still drying himself off.A moment after Eiji was out of his arms and had stepped away, Oishi didn't notice a smell but he did notice he felt annoyed, and...angry. Aggravated. Irritated. That he would be upset at the slightest thing. True they had talked about a lot of upsetting things, but this was more than that.Oishi was upset. Not at anyone, or about anything, just in general. He turned to look at Eiji in surprise and followed him. Halfway to him, Eiji threw Oishi the shirt Eiji had worn to practice in and gestured that Oishi should smell it. Oishi caught it, held it to his face, smelled it, smelled him, and within an instant, the strange agitated feelings subsided. They did not completely go away, but he felt better. Eiji gave a smile, very pleased to be right.

Oishi was really surprised. "That is so strange. Maybe its a chemical? Something they used to clean with today?" Oishi offered. He put Eiji's dirty shirt in his bag to sleep with and smiled as he tossed Eiji his back. "I'm sleeping with yours. I don't get the rest of my regulars clothes until Friday." Oishi paused, "I was thinking maybe until you're a regular, I can wear a t-shirt under my jersey."

Eiji smiled wide, "Hoi? Won't you get too hot?" He pulled up his pants.

Oishi smiled back, "It won't be for long. Just a few weeks until you're a regular too. Are you hungry?"

Eiji was at his side in a flash. He kissed him very hard, very pleased, and pressed himself up against Oishi. Showing him just how happy and turned on even now, even still, even half dressed, they both were. "Hmm...starving."

Oishi kissed him back and smiled, "Good, me too, love. Let's get out of here."
