Chapter Twenty Three ~Oishi~

Warnings: Yaoi, Love, Angst, Fluff, and Lots of Sex. Some kink. You've been warned ;)

Disclaimer: Nope not mine. Still in my dreams. ;)


Eiji answered his cell phone on the first ring. "Hoi Oishi! Where have you been?"

"Hi." Oishi said and felt relief flood through him just hearing Eiji's voice. He knew he would be mad. "I'm sorry, love. I texted you when I got in but my father wanted to talk to me."

"Nya, this whole time?" Eiji sounded skeptical.

"Yeah. Almost all this time and then I washed up for bed. I'm sorry you've been waiting. Are you all ready for bed?" It was late.

"Hoi." Eiji was pouting. "Nya, I almost didn't have a phone." Oh, that was it.

"I'm glad you got one." Oishi didn't want to even think of how Eiji had badgered his sisters until he got one. Oishi wished he had a phone of his own. "I wouldn't sleep good without you, love."

"Me too Oishi, nya." Oishi missed him.Eiji was definitively pouting.Oishi felt terrible for having more bad news and thought of ways to turn it around. He did have good news too.

"Did you do your homework, love?"

"Hoi Oishi, I did it in school because I thought we were going to see the movie tonight."

"I did mine thinking we were going too. I'm sorry we didn't get to go but the talking was good." Oishi smiled a little, "Parts of it were very good and I always like talking to you."

Eiji made a little noise of agreement. "Hoi? Tomorrow, right?"

Oishi sighed. "That's what my father talked to me about." He hesitated not knowing how to tell Eiji this. "I have to tutor a girl on Tuesdays and Thursdays the next couple of weeks in English. She's in our grade but not in either of our classes. Ito Kurumi. Her father works with mine but I think he is my father's superior. Do you know her?"

"Hoi..." Eiji sounded strange.

"I'm sorry. My father didn't really ask me, he just told me I had to. But she is paying me. Almost double what I normally get paid too. I'll work the time around tennis and us and everything else, I promise. I'll get her caught up in no time and then it will be over. I'm sorry, I really can't refuse."

"She likes you." Eiji said it quietly.

"Ei-ji..." Oishi started to say but was interrupted.

"Nya! I'm not saying it because I'm jealous Oishi. I'm telling you because its true. She always watches you practice and play almost every day. I sat by her when you were competing for rankings and I heard her, nya." Eiji got quiet again, "I heard her."

"Eiji, I'm not doubting you but are you really sure? What exactly did she say?"

"That you're handsome. Good boyfriend material. She called you hers. Her Oishi. She likes how your shirt comes up when you serve like I do. How handsome you are. What a great ass you have. Hoi, do you want to hear more? They sat right behind me and I heard everything they said."

Oishi made a little strangling noise, "I...I'm sorry." If he sat in front of girls talking about Eiji like that he would be very upset.

"Nya, at the time I was really happy."

"Happy?"

"Hoi, at the time I kept laughing to myself and thinking how wrong she was because you weren't hers, you were mine."

"I am yours, Eiji. Only yours." Oishi said completely serious. Then he thought of something, maybe that would make Eiji laugh,"Great ass? Do you like my ass, Eiji?" He said it in a teasing way.

Eiji made a half laugh sound. "No!" He said after it. He paused a moment and Oishi was a little stunned. Eiji rarely said no. "Nya, Oishi, I don't like your ass, I love it. You know that."

"I wasn't sure Eiji. You never told me that before."

"Nya. I did. I told you I love your body, lots of times."

"No you didn't. I've never heard you say that. Saying it in your head doesn't count because I can't always hear it." Oishi thought a moment, "Before you ask me, I love your body Eiji. I think you're gorgeous. Very handsome and sexy and not just when we're dressed to go out dancing. If I ever haven't said it to you, I'm sorry. You drove me crazy when I kissed you goodnight at your house. Again. I wanted you and thought about you the entire time home, the entire time my father was talking all I kept thinking about was you." Oishi paused a moment. "I miss you."

Eiji was quiet a moment. "Hoi, really?"

"Really. You're all I can think of and all I want to think about."

"Nya, me too. I love your body too Oishi. Very sexy, very handsome, and you're very strong, and very cut too. Nya, do you wish I was more cut?"

"Cut where? You're perfect."

Eiji now laughed. "Nya! My arms and my stomach. Like yours."

"I can help you if you want to be more, but I think you're perfect. You don't need to change anything." Oishi just thought of kissing Eiji's stomach and felt himself getting hard again. It was nearly constant around Eiji. He had never been like this before. "What are you thinking?" Oishi asked discovering Eiji was quiet and wanting to distract himself from being turned on again.

"Hmm...kissing you. Your stomach, your skin, your muscles there, and your dark hairs that go down from your belly button."

Oishi gave a very soft moan. "I was just thinking about kissing yours too. Are you hard?"

"Hmm...again...you?"

"Yes."

"Nya, what are you going to do?" Oishi was too tired to think let alone to do anything. "Nya!" Eiji said and laughed when Oishi hesitated. "About Ito Kurumi?"

"I...I don't know. What do you think I should do?"

Eiji paused and Oishi could almost see him pursing his lips. "Nya, you can't say no because of your father. You'll have to go but meet her only in a public place. Like the library at school and then when she asks you or confesses you can just tell her you're interested in someone else." Oishi went to agree but before he could Eiji interrupted, "Nya, she must have gotten her father involved and then got yours involved so you'll have to be careful. Your dad doesn't want you to date any girls and he is your dad's boss. Nya Oishi, you'll have to be very serious and careful but its you so you'll be fine."

Oishi sighed. Eiji was right. He would have to be careful. "Eiji, will you help me?"

"Hoi, how?" He loved that he instantly agreed.

"Tomorrow and Thursday we'll go to practice and then workout like we were supposed to. Tuesdays and Thursdays were supposed to be light days anyway." Oishi explained. "Then we can go to the library and both meet her. You can do your homework there and that way we won't really be alone. You can also watch her to be sure its all right. And then after, if she insists that I walk her home or something, you can stay with us."

"Nya, I'll be a third wheel...oh...hoi...you really want me to?"

"Yes. I'm not interested in her at all and I don't want to give her the wrong impression. I'll tutor her but that is all. I've taught two people at once so it shouldn't be any problem. I'll even pay you to go."

"Nya Oishi, you don't have to pay me!"

"I want to. Since she is paying me double, I'll split it with you and you can put it towards getting your own phone. For us. All right?"

Eiji thought, he was in bargaining mode, "Hoi. Oishi? Can Fujiko help too?"

"Do you think we need him?"

"Hoi. It never hurts to get Fuji to help."

Oishi sighed, already this was complected, "Maybe you can just tell him when you guys are talking and see what he says. All right? But let's not let this get out of hand."

"Hoi." Eiji paused, "Oishi? Wednesday?"

Oishi groaned, "I want to but I can't go with you on Wednesday because I have my lifeguard re-certification test that night." And student government during lunch but he didn't want Eiji furious at him. "I'm sorry its a busy week for me, love. I have to take the swimming tests after practice and our practice that night."

"Nya, you're a lifeguard?" Eiji said it as if he was stunned.

"Yeah. You didn't know? I was a junior lifeguard the last two years because of my age but this year I'll be a regular one."

"Hoi, what's the difference?"

Oishi smiled, "The juniors get paid less and do all the work. I do it every summer, and I really like it."

"Nya, you're that good at swimming?"

"Yeah. I love to swim. If there was no tennis club I would have joined swim club. My freshman year I did both for a while but it was too hectic with student government."

"Nya, you like tennis better?"

"Than swimming? They're very different. My father really didn't like that I was involved with two clubs so I quit the one he wasn't involved with when he went to school. It was easier that way and the truth is I like tennis better. I love to swim. I'm strong, but I'm not as fast as someone with your body type would be and nothing will change that. Its not like tennis where you can practice and get better and each match is a challenge. Its fast and I wasn't going to get much better no matter how hard I practiced."

"Hoi? I would be better than you?" Eiji said very interested now.

Oishi laughed, "Probably. You're strong and fast. Are you a strong swimmer?"

"No."

Oishi was shocked to hear another no. "Can you swim?" He remembered Eiji saying he got tired but maybe that wasn't it. "What strokes do you know? Freestyle? Butterfly? Backstroke? Doggie paddle?" He expected Eiji to laugh and was surprised when he didn't.

"Nya, I don't know those. I get tired so I don't to go water higher than here." Eiji must have realized he was on the phone, "Hoi, my chest."

Oishi had an intense moment of remembering licking down his chest and his nipples. "Oh. I can teach you. Can you float?"

"Float?" Eiji said it as if he had never heard the word before.

Oishi smiled at how nice it would be. He had an image now in his head of him teaching Eiji that in the water. And his nipples."Yeah. Can I teach you? Please? I really want to. You'll be really good." He thought of what Eiji had said about people having to save him from drowning in the past. "Everyone should know how. Its fun and its fun to learn." Eiji still made no reply. "I'll make sure nothing happens to you Eiji. I'll keep you safe."

"Hoi...maybe..." Eiji must have heard how much Oishi wanted this and slipped right back into bargaining mode. He wanted something. Oishi figured it was the movie. "Friday?" Eiji said.

Oishi hated to disappoint him. He really did. "Ei-ji..."

That was all Oishi got out before he got a loud and upset,"Nya!" in his ear.

"Wait, wait, please hear me out? I have something to ask you too. Something else. Please Eiji?" Even now, Oishi felt a little nervous about asking him.

Eiji sighed. "Hoi, call me back at this number..." He gave Oishi the number.

"Do you need a minute?" Oishi asked him.

"No." Eiji said still very angry.

"Okay, I'll call you right back..." Eiji hung up in his ear. Oishi dialed and Eiji answered but said nothing. "Hi." Oishi said. "Are you there?"

"Hoi." Eiji said it very small.

"I can ask you?"

"Hoi. What?"

"Kikumaru Eiji will you go on a date with me Friday night?" Oishi's heart was pounding. He knew Eiji was mad and that didn't help but he always was uneasy doing this. Uneasy but excited about this with Eiji.

"Hoi, to the movies." He sounded less than thrilled and like Oishi was stating the obvious."

"No, I don't mean like that. I thought we can go to the movies sometime over this weekend if you want, but Friday night, I'd like us to go on a real date. A proper one. If you want?" Eiji said nothing so Oishi further explained, "First I want to take you out to dinner and then to this big cultural festival. My father's work gave him VIP tickets and he and my Mom aren't going so he gave them to me. Its huge and there are fireworks at the end." He knew how much Eiji loved Japanese history and dressing up, but wasn't sure if he would want to do this part at all. "If you want, we could even dress up traditionally? A lot of people do there. Its fun and..."

"Nya?" Eiji sounded in shock. "Really?" He said softly and as if he didn't believe it.

"Yes. I'd love to go with you. We haven't had a real date yet, not one where its just us, and I'd really like to. Eiji, will you go out with me on a date?"

"Yes." Eiji whispered it. "I will. I want to Oishi. I want to go with you." He said softly but a little louder. Oishi wondered if Eiji had tears in his eyes and Oishi found that he did right then. It was such a small thing and yet, to both of them it meant so much. "Nya, if you didn't have your first regulars match in the morning we could have gone to the late movie before we go back to your house."

Oishi again felt terrible and he tried to just be honest, "Eiji, my father was acting weird. I don't know if things are going bad at work or what but he and my Mom are staying here Friday night and leaving early Saturday morning for my grandparents. So early that they are missing the festival. Its a little strange but that is their plan."

"Nya then you'll stay here."

"I don't think I should."

"Hoi? Why not?" Eiji sounded shocked and very disappointed.

Oishi had no idea how to explain it to him. "When my father acts like this, its better for me if I just follow the rules strict for a little while. But please don't be upset. Please? They're going for all next week. They aren't coming back until the following Sunday. Not this Sunday, the one after. If you want, you can stay with me all week and both weekends. I'd love you to. Please? If your parents let you?"

Eiji gasped excited, "Oishi, hoi? Really?" It was like a dream to Oishi too so he understood. "Hoi! So after our date, you'll take me home, then the next day you have your first match as a regular and I can stay with you for eight nights? Nya!" He laughed a little and then paused, "Hoi, where will your sister be?"

"She is staying at her friend's house. It will be just us. Will your parents let you?"

"Hoi, though, my Mom might make us eat dinner over here a few times just to make sure we're okay, but hoi!" Eiji laughed again which made Oishi laugh.

"Love, I'm sorry that this week is so busy for me, but I promise to make it up to you okay?"

"Hoi Oishi! And you're taking me out on a real date!"

Oishi smiled and blushed as Eiji probably knew he would. "Yes, I am. I can't wait."

"Nya, you have traditional clothes? Dress ones?"

"Sure, but you'll probably think mine are boring. My father makes us dress like that for a lot of his company things. Do you?"

"Hoi but nya, I never get to wear them!" He laughed delighted and then stopped laughing and gasped, "Nya Oishi! That girl, Ito Kurumi, she's going to ask you to the festival!"

Oishi had never even thought of that. It made sense if she still liked him. It was partially sponsored by his father's company and would be an ideal thing to invite a date on. Its why he wanted to go with Eiji. "I'll just tell her I already have a date." Oishi smiled.

"Nya Oishi! Nya! She could tell her father and they could see us and tell your father! Nya, maybe we shouldn't..."

"No. I want to. I want to go and I want to go with you. If she asks and if we see them then I'll just tell the truth."

"Hoi?"

"That I'm there with my best friend. Okay for now? Just if she asks and just if they see?"

"Hoi Oishi." Eiji said and Oishi heard the tension rush out of his voice. "But just for now."

"Definitely." Oishi said agreeing. "I love you Eiji."

"Hoi, I love you too."

"Eiji? Someday." Oishi said and meant it. Someday they would be together all the time, every day and every night and they wouldn't have to hide anything from anyone. He wanted this more than anything and felt that it was going to happen.

"Hoi. Someday." Eiji said sounding both serious and pleased now. "But, nya Oishi, until then, we have eight nights!" He then laughed and sounded utterly happy.

Oishi laughed with him. "Are you ready for bed, love?"

"Hoi! I've been ready, nya you were late."

"Are you in bed?" Oishi had been sitting on his bed while they talked and put the last of his things together for tomorrow.

"Nya, at my desk reading. I was waiting for you."

"Come to bed with me?"

"Hoi." He heard Eiji get up and moving around. "Light?" Eiji asked.

Oishi took a step to his and turned his out. "Out now. Get in?"

"Hoi. Thanks for your shirt."

"You too."

Eiji sighed as he settled in. "Nya, that smell was weird. I hope its gone tomorrow."

"Mn." Oishi agreed. He was surprised Eiji was taking being apart tonight so well. He wasn't. It had been so hard to walk away from his door earlier after walking him home. It was only because Eiji had turned him on so much and made him laugh that he was able to. "I really miss you." Oishi felt an ache in the middle of his chest. He couldn't help but think of everything that Eiji had told him about being sick. Oishi realized that on his own, he would have to look up what Eiji said he had even though he said he was all right now. Oishi would need to see in print that his life span would be normal after a bone marrow donation. He wondered how the doctors would know and with another ache thought of the word life span at all.

"Hoi, I miss you too." Eiji paused, he must have known what Oishi was probably thinking and Oishi figured it probably worried him. "Nya Oishi, its okay, nothing's changed, right?"

"Of course, love. Everything's fine. I just miss you."

"Hmm...I miss you too." Now Eiji sounded sad as well and Oishi felt bad. "Hoi, want to have breakfast with me tomorrow? At the apartment building? Nya, I know you said we shouldn't go there and that we can sleep a little later tomorrow, but maybe one more morning early might be all right?"

Oishi smiled as Eiji tried to convince him. "I'd really like that. If we can't stay there in the morning then we'll find somewhere else."

"Nya, where?" Eiji yawned.

"Anywhere. I don't care where it is as long as I'm with you." Oishi said really meaning it. Then decided to placate Eiji a little, "But its a great idea Eiji. We can try there first." Oishi moved to re-set his alarms for earlier and then settled back down. "Would you like me to get you lunch in the morning again?"

"Nya, I made lunch for us already." Oishi was surprised, "Nya, you made me wait." Eiji said as if Oishi's surprise was him actually rejecting an offer of food made by Eiji.

Oishi laughed, "No, I'm really happy, your food is better than anything I could buy us." Oishi caught Eiji's yawn.

"Nya I liked lunch today and dinner. Just not seeing you enough I didn't like." Eiji pouted, Oishi could hear it in his voice.

"Me too. I felt the same way. I watched you and Fuji go into the men's room and had to see you."

"Hmm..." Eiji purred a happy remembering sound, "Nya, you still have my toothbrush."

Oishi smiled, "You were supposed to remind me. I'll give it back to you tomorrow." Oishi felt stupid but decided to tell him anyway, "I used it tonight."

Eiji made a little tired laugh, "Hmm...I love you."

"I love you too."

Oishi went to ask Eiji if he could sleep now but Eiji said sounding tired before he could, "Shh, Oishi...sleep."

So he listened to Eiji's soft breathing and matched it until he joined him.


A few hours later, Oishi heard Eiji making noises in his sleep. Enough noise that Eiji woke him. "Eiji? Ei-ji..." Oishi tried to gently wake him from the bad dream he must have been having. "Shh...its okay, love. Its just a bad dream. Its all right. Eiji?"

Eiji to his surprise made a little laugh, and a moan of no. "Ny-yaaa Oishi." Oishi heard him stirring in his bed. "Nya a bad dream Oishi." Oishi heard him breathing hard. "Oi-shi...good dream..." Eiji moaned softly again, completely turned on. "Oi-shi..."

"Was I in your dream Eiji?" Oishi said softly and smiled. The noises Eiji made alone had Oishi hard already. Almost instantly.

"Yes..." Eiji whispered. "We were making love. Hmm...you were inside me and I was inside you." Eiji moaned again softly as if just remembering it had him writhing and wanting more.

Oishi smiled. He almost pointed out the impossibility of that position but decided he would rather Eiji sleepy and sweet and moaning rather than annoyed and defending a nice dream. "And it felt good Eiji?"

"Hmm...yeah..." Eiji moaned softly again, "You felt so good inside me." Eiji made a little whimper. Oishi figured he must have touched himself. "Oi-shi, I'm so hard." He breathed a little harder. "I want you."

Oishi laughed a little. "I want you too. You have me hard already just listening to you."

"Hmm..." he said softly in a sexy laugh. Eiji sounded very pleased "Oishi, touch with me?"

"Yeah..." Oishi said. He had already slipped his hand down his pants and around himself. Eiji sounded so close Oishi didn't think he would have time to grab the lube. Maybe though that would be better, "Eiji, put some lube on yourself."

Eiji was breathing harder and made a little whimper, "Nyyaaa, so close, want you..."

"Shh, not yet love, wait for me, Eiji?" Oishi kept stroking himself and thinking of Eiji's hot mouth around him instead of his own hand. Then he thought of something that he would like to try with him sometime and the thought of it turned him on even more. "Do you have the lube?"

"Hoi, get yours."

Oishi wasn't going to but he stopped and reached for it in his drawer. He put some in his hand and tried not to wince when he touched the cool liquid to his now hot swollen skin. "Put yours on." He heard Eiji take a sharp breath feeling it on his own skin. Oishi moved his hand on himself and wished Eiji was there. He thought of being inside him just a few hours earlier, "Ei-ji I want you..." He said in whispered moan.

Eiji moaned softly back in a purr, "Hmm...want you too..."

"Tell me what you dreamed..." Oishi suggested.

"Hmm...making love...I was inside you and you were inside me...close...so good...kissing...Oi-shi..."

He was only waiting for Oishi, he heard it in Eiji's hot moaning whispers. Oishi was close too now listening to him and thinking about him. He did that tight stroke over his tip to bring him right there now, "Ei-ji," he whispered to him, "come inside me. I want you to come inside me..."

"...oh...I'm coming...Shuuichirou ..."

"...Ei-ji..." Oishi said at the same time as they both came. Oishi smiled as he tried to calm his heart and breathing down. "Nice dream, love." He said softly.

"Hmm...was..." Eiji was purring and Oishi wished he could cuddle up to him and kiss him. He loved when his sex monster was sated and affectionate and sleepy like this. "Nnn...this better...love you Oishi..."

"I love you too." Oishi looked at his clocks reflected backwards in his aquarium glass. It was hours before sunrise still and he was tired. He needed more sleep too. He heard Eiji moving around probably wiping himself and then flopping back down and wrapping himself around the pillows that were supposed to be 'Oishi'. Eiji gasped and then sighed as if relieved. "What love?"

"Nya, I thought I used your shirt by accident instead of mine but I used mine."

Oishi smiled. "You can use my shirt if you want."

"Nya, I am using it," He heard Eiji breathe in, "See? Nya, did you use mine?" Oishi smiled more at how silly they both were.

"No, I used my pants. I am using your shirt too." Oishi inhaled so Eiji could hear him. Eiji laughed a little and Oishi worried that he wouldn't be able to fall back asleep.

"Nya, you're naked?"

"Yeah." He said and Eiji made a purring noise. Then a moment later he heard Eiji start laughing a little. "What love?" Oishi asked to Eiji's giggles.

"Nya Oishi, how was I in you when you were in me?" He laughed a little more.

Oishi laughed with him. "I have no idea love. You tell me, it was your dream." Oishi yawned and stretched.

Eiji laughed a little at this. "Hmm...G'nite Oishi again."

"Goodnight Eiji again." Oishi smiled.

"Nya, what are you smiling about?" Eiji said sounding half asleep again.

"Eight nights and a real date with you." Oishi smiled even more.

He heard Eiji's smile in his answer, and could almost see it as if Eiji was curled up right next to him, sleeping right on him, "Hmm...Oishi, I love you too. Now shh, sleep."


On to Chapter 24!!
