"Love isn't just about fitting into each other's worlds; it's about finding beauty in the spaces between. Hiiragi taught me to savor the quiet moments, while I showed him the thrill of chasing dreams. Together, we bridged the gap between tradition and modernity, creating a home in each other where Kyoto's calm meets New York's energy."—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The moon cast a soft glow over the city, its light shimmering on the distant rooftops. The air was crisp, carrying the gentle scent of blooming flowers. The remnants of the fireworks festival had left the sky clear and the night serene. Victor and Hiiragi wandered through the park, each step guided by the lingering warmth of their recent conversation.Sora and Ashton had dragged them both out, insisting they needed to get out and enjoy themselves despite their recent heartbreaks. As a result, Victor and Hiiragi found themselves together again, but this time with an awkward tension hanging in the air.They walked side by side, an unspoken distance between them. The park was quiet, save for the occasional rustling of leaves and the distant hum of the city. They had no real plan or destination; they were simply trying to enjoy the night as their friends had hoped.Victor stole glances at Hiiragi, his heart heavy with regret and longing. Hiiragi, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought, his gaze fixed ahead. The silence between them was filled with the echoes of their past conversation and the unresolved emotions that lingered.As they reached a secluded spot under a large flowering tree, Victor stopped and turned to Hiiragi, his heart pounding. The moment felt charged, a delicate balance between hope and fear. Hiiragi glanced at him, his eyes reflecting the soft moonlight.Victor took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly. "Hiiragi, I know things were a bit awkward before, and I'm sorry for that. I've been thinking a lot about what happened, and I need to tell you something."Hiiragi's curiosity was piqued. "What is it, Victor?"Victor looked down, struggling to find the right words. "I've been replaying our conversation over and over in my head. I was afraid—afraid of what could happen if I let myself feel. But now, I realize that I was wrong."Hiiragi's heart skipped a beat. "What are you trying to say?"Victor took a step closer, his eyes locking onto Hiiragi's. "I'm saying that I was foolish to push you away. I was scared of my own feelings and of what might come next. But being here with you now, I can't deny how much I care about you. I want to make things right, to show you how much you mean to me."Hiiragi's eyes softened, his emotions clearly visible. "Victor, I—I've been waiting for you to say something like this. I care about you too, and I don't want to keep pretending that everything's okay when it's not."Victor reached out tentatively, his hand brushing against Hiiragi's. "I know it's late, and I've probably made a mess of things, but I really do want to be with you. I want to take a chance on us, to see where this can go."Before Hiiragi could respond, the distant sound of fireworks erupted in the sky, filling the night with a burst of color and noise. The sudden display created a backdrop of vibrant light, momentarily obscuring their words with its thunderous applause.Victor, his face flushed with a mix of nervousness and hope, leaned in closer. His voice was nearly drowned out by the crackle of fireworks. "Hiiragi, I—"Hiiragi, sensing Victor's intent, closed the gap between them. As the fireworks continued to burst overhead, he gently placed a hand on Victor's cheek, guiding him towards a soft, lingering kiss. The kiss was tender and filled with the emotions they both had been holding back.When they finally pulled away, their faces were flushed, and their breaths mingled in the cool night air. The fireworks above continued to light up the sky, a colorful celebration of their newfound connection.Hiiragi looked up at Victor, his eyes filled with a mixture of relief and affection. "Victor, I've wanted this for so long. I'm glad we finally found our way to each other."Victor smiled, his heart soaring with happiness. "Me too, Hiiragi. I'm sorry for the confusion and the hurt. I promise to make it up to you, to be the person you deserve."As they stood together under the starlit sky, the night felt magical and full of promise. The fireworks continued to dazzle above, their light casting a warm glow over Victor and Hiiragi as they shared another tender kiss.Their kisses grew more passionate, their bodies pressing close as they lost themselves in the moment. Victor's hands cradled Hiiragi's face, his fingers tangling in his hair, while Hiiragi's arms wrapped around Victor's neck, pulling him even closer. Each kiss was a declaration of their feelings, a way to make up for all the missed moments and unspoken words.The night was filled with whispered promises and gentle caresses, their love for each other evident in every touch. As they finally broke the kiss, both were breathless, their hearts racing with the joy of their rekindled connection.Victor looked into Hiiragi's eyes, his expression one of pure adoration. "I love you, Hiiragi. I always have."Hiiragi smiled, his eyes shining with happiness. "I love you too, Victor. Let's make every moment count from now on."With their hearts full and their bond renewed, Victor and Hiiragi continued to embrace, sharing tender kisses under the starry sky. The park became their own private haven, a place where their love could flourish and grow, surrounded by the beauty of the night and the promise of a future together.As the fireworks dimmed in the distance and the quiet hum of the city returned, Victor and Hiiragi walked hand in hand through the park, their hearts still pounding from the intensity of their kiss. The night air was cool and refreshing, but neither of them felt the chill—they were too absorbed in the warmth of each other's presence.Victor's fingers tightened around Hiiragi's, and he glanced over at him, a small, shy smile tugging at his lips. "Do you... want to come back to my place?" His voice was soft, hesitant, but laced with hope.Hiiragi met his gaze, his eyes filled with the same mix of excitement and nervousness. "I'd love that."They walked in silence the rest of the way, but the tension between them was electric. Their steps quickened, as if the desire to be alone together was pulling them forward. When they reached Victor's apartment building, neither of them hesitated. Victor fumbled with his keys for a moment, his hands slightly shaking, before finally unlocking the door.The moment they were inside, the door clicked shut behind them, and the quiet of the apartment wrapped around them. Hiiragi stood there, taking in the familiar surroundings, but this time everything felt different—charged with the knowledge of what they had just shared and what they both wanted.Victor turned to face Hiiragi, his cheeks flushed, but this time from something more than just embarrassment. He stepped forward, his hand gently reaching for Hiiragi's face, his thumb tracing his cheekbone. "I've dreamed about this," Victor whispered, his voice hushed, as if afraid to break the moment.Hiiragi's lips curled into a smile, his own hands sliding up to rest on Victor's chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. "Me too," he admitted, leaning into the warmth of Victor's touch.Their lips met again, this time more confidently, the earlier hesitation melting away. The kiss deepened quickly, the urgency between them growing with every passing second. Victor's arms wrapped around Hiiragi's waist, pulling him closer, while Hiiragi's fingers curled into the fabric of Victor's shirt.The apartment was dimly lit, casting long shadows across the walls, but all Victor could see was Hiiragi—his face, his eyes, the soft sound of his breath as they kissed. He walked backward, guiding Hiiragi further into the apartment, until they stumbled into the living room.Victor's hands slipped under Hiiragi's shirt, feeling the warmth of his skin. He could feel the quick rise and fall of Hiiragi's chest, matching the rhythm of his own breathless excitement. Hiiragi's hands were in his hair now, tugging gently as their kisses grew more heated.Breaking away for a brief moment, Hiiragi looked into Victor's eyes, both of them panting slightly from the intensity of the moment. "Are you sure about this?" Hiiragi's voice was soft, but his gaze was full of affection and desire.Victor nodded, his thumb brushing against Hiiragi's lower lip. "I've never been more sure about anything," he murmured before capturing Hiiragi's lips again in a slow, lingering kiss.They moved toward the couch, falling into the soft cushions as their kisses became more fervent. Hands roamed freely, exploring each other's bodies with a mix of curiosity and passion. Victor's fingers tangled in Hiiragi's hair, while Hiiragi's hands slid down Victor's back, pulling him closer with every touch.Time seemed to blur as they lost themselves in each other. Every kiss, every touch felt like an unspoken promise, a declaration of all the feelings they had kept bottled up for so long. There was no more hesitation, no more fear—only the overwhelming need to be close to one another.Eventually, they found themselves lying together on the couch, bodies intertwined, their breathing steadying after the whirlwind of emotion. Victor pressed a soft kiss to Hiiragi's forehead, his fingers gently stroking his hair.Hiiragi smiled up at him, his expression content and full of love. "I could stay like this forever."Victor chuckled softly, his heart swelling with affection. "Me too."They stayed like that for a while, wrapped in the warmth of each other's embrace, the outside world forgotten. It was just them, alone together, with nothing but the soft glow of the night around them and the quiet rhythm of their hearts beating in time.The night was still young, and for the first time, they had all the time in the world.As they lay in the soft glow of the dimly lit apartment, Victor gently caressed Hiiragi's hair, his fingers gliding through the strands as if committing the sensation to memory. The earlier intensity had given way to a more peaceful kind of closeness, but the electricity between them still lingered in the air, unspoken but present.Victor smiled softly as he traced small circles along Hiiragi's back. "I still can't believe this is real," he whispered, his voice filled with awe.Hiiragi lifted his head slightly, resting his chin on Victor's chest, and looked into his eyes. "You're not dreaming," he teased, his lips curling into a playful smile. "I'm right here."Victor's heart fluttered at the sight of that smile, one that made everything else in the world seem insignificant. He pulled Hiiragi closer, kissing his temple. "I don't want to lose this. I don't want to lose you."Hiiragi's expression softened, his hand resting on Victor's chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. "You won't," he said quietly. "I'm not going anywhere."The reassurance in Hiiragi's voice calmed the last lingering doubts Victor had. He let out a slow breath, feeling the weight of the past few weeks lift off his shoulders. This was what he had wanted all along—this closeness, this sense of peace that only Hiiragi could bring him.They stayed like that for a while, wrapped up in each other, exchanging soft kisses and quiet words. The outside world, with all its noise and distractions, seemed so far away. Here, in Victor's apartment, they had created their own little world, a sanctuary where nothing else mattered.Hiiragi chuckled softly, breaking the silence. "You know, Sora's going to freak out when he hears about this. He's been rooting for us for a while."Victor laughed, the sound light and genuine. "I can already hear him saying, 'I told you so.'"Hiiragi nodded, his smile widening. "And Ashton... I'm sure he'll have some comment too. But I don't care. Let them say what they want. All that matters is this."Victor's eyes softened as he looked at Hiiragi. He leaned in and kissed him again, slower this time, savoring the moment. Hiiragi responded with the same tenderness, his fingers trailing down Victor's arm, sending a shiver through him.When they finally pulled away, both of them breathless yet smiling, Hiiragi rested his head on Victor's shoulder. "So... what now?" Hiiragi asked, his voice a soft murmur.Victor thought for a moment, a content smile on his lips. "Now? We just keep moving forward. Together."Hiiragi smiled against Victor's skin, his hand resting lightly on his chest. "Together," he echoed softly, as if the word itself held all the promise of the future.Victor tilted Hiiragi's chin up with his fingers and kissed him again, slower and deeper this time, as if the world outside had completely disappeared. All that mattered was here, now, with the man he loved in his arms.Hiiragi smiled softly, looking over at Victor's very noticeable bulge in his pants- Victor blushed when Hiriagi noticed. "A-ah.. yeah.. That's nothing.."Hiiragi shakes his head- and beams, "You like me that much huh?"He takes two fingers- rubbing against Victor's clothed penis- Victor's breath hitched slightly, "H-Hiiragi..."Hiiragi smiled more- undoing Victor's belt and pulling down his pants, "Mhmm... lovely.."Victor groaned- "No, no... Hiiragi.."Hiiragi grinned- pulling off Victor's boxers and looked up at Victor, "Why not?""T-that's bad! This is impure, you're gonna get sick!""Hii-Hiiragi is the best."Hiiragi leaned down grinned, "Now, keep it down."Victor shook his head, "But.."Hiiragi chuckled- "The problem looks bigger than it seems.."Victor nodded. "You better make it go away.."Hiiragi tucked his hair behind his ear and licked Victor's throbbing tip- causing Victorto shiver in pleasure. "F-fuck~"Hiiragi licked the slit on tip back and forth before licking from the bottom of his shaft- to the top, back and forth, up and down.Victor couldn't help but throw his head back in pleasure, "Oh...!"Hiiragi kept at it- all while massaging the latter's balls.Victor felt a magical sense twirl through his lower body. "Oh, Hiiragi~ Take me in, please, please Hiiragi, please!"Hiiragi licked a bit of the precome flowing out of Victor's tip and smiled, "Since he asks so kindly...~"Victor bucked his hips before Hiiragi took his entire cock- which was massive, into his mouth and a bit into his throat.Victor nodded fast- "Oh yes~"Hiiragi looked up at Victor with a lustful gaze before sucking once again–Victor stopped Hiiragi from going further, "D-Darling– we'll release together, come now."Hiiragi cocked and eyebrow once as he pulled Victor's length from his mouth, "Darling? That's new."Victor slowly rose from his position to help Hiiragi undress, started with unbuttoning his shirt and unzipping the fly of his pants.Once Hiiragi was completely nude, Victor stood up to admire the man that owned him, "Damn..."Victor lay on the bed, hands behind his head in a layback position, "Alright."Hiiragi nodded- positioning Victor's tip right above his small, pink hole that he hoped would be ravaged by the spear again and again in the future..Once Victor's tip was pressed against Hiiragi– Victor roughly pushed Hiiragi to envelope him completely.Hiiragi let out a long, dragged moan- "Fu-fucking.. Vic-Victor..~"Victor smiled widely as Hiiragi began to move his hips in a back-and-forth motion.Victor's arms hooked themselves onto Hiiragi's gliding hips- to guide him along this pleasurable ride.Hiiragi threw back is head in pleasure, "V-victor... mhn~"The person beneath him was all smiles, his hands gentle as they caressed Hiiragi's skin, "Babe, you're so tight- just how I like it, Hmmm~"Hiiragi nodded, with each rock back-and-forth, he moaned in pleasure, "I'm going to explode!"Victor suddenly flipped them over- so that he was on top of Hiiragi, "I'm sorry, Babe. You were going way too slow."Hiiragi nodded fast, "Yes, yes, of course. Do what you must- Victor, hurry."Victor nodded, slowly but quite gently thrust into Hiiragi - Victor let out a soft groan, "Oh my God~ You're so amazing, Hiiragi!"Without a word- Victor embraced Hiiragi and kissed him deeply, sometimes biting his lips and lightly tugging, sometimes plunging his tongue inside to brashly tangle with his."... Harder..."Victor obeyed, increasing the speed and strength of his thrusts– by now, the two men were covered in a thin layer of sweat- and the space where their two bodies connected left a small trail of unknown fluids (not piss guys, I promise)."Victor, kiss me." Hiiragi moaned as Victor leaned to kiss once more, tangling their tongues in abyss.Soon, Hiiragi groaned, "V-Victor, I'm so close..."Victor sped up, thrusting a bit more roughly, "I know, same here, Hiiragi– you feel amazing."Hiiragi gasped with delight, "Anh~ Please..V-Vic..Ahh!""Victor, Victor, VICTOR!!- slow down would you?"Victor nodded slowly, before slowing down slightly- way too slightly, "Baby, if I slow down too much- I'm afraid..."In a surge of passion- he got overly excited, Victor increased his speed once more. After a few hard thrusts, Hiiragi felt his organs roiling in his stomach, and came all over Victor's abdomen."Ahh!"Victor smirked, "Ju-just a bit more, Baby boy, I'm close... arghh~"Victor thrust a few more times- more lightly than before and came inside Hiiragi- slowly pulling out, sealing his come inside Hiiragi.Hiiragi sighed, "Amazing."Victor smiled weakly, laying next to Hiiragi and pulling the blankets over the both of them. "It's all thanks to you, Baby boy."Hiiragi kissed Victor passionately "Mhm~"The next morning, Victor and Hiiragi found themselves tangled in the sheets, sunlight softly filtering through the curtains. Victor stretched lazily, the memories of the night before bringing a warm smile to his face. Beside him, Hiiragi shifted, propping himself up on one elbow and watching Victor with a teasing glint in his eyes."Sleep well?" Hiiragi asked, his voice low and playful.Victor turned to face him, still feeling that sense of disbelief that this was real. "Yeah," he replied, his voice soft. "I slept better than I have in weeks."Hiiragi chuckled, leaning down to kiss Victor's forehead before pulling away. "Good. Now get up. We're going out today."Victor blinked, surprised. "Out? Where?"Hiiragi smirked, already swinging his legs out of bed and standing up. "The mall. You need new clothes, and I'm not taking no for an answer."Victor raised an eyebrow, sitting up and looking at Hiiragi as if he were seeing a whole new side of him. "You're being bossy this morning."Hiiragi shrugged, pulling on his clothes with an air of nonchalance. "Well, someone has to take charge around here," he teased, giving Victor a wink. "Besides, I'm not letting you hide in this apartment all day. You're mine now, and I intend to show you off."Victor flushed at the possessive tone in Hiiragi's voice, a blush creeping up his neck. He opened his mouth to protest, but Hiiragi was already moving toward the door."Come on, don't be slow," Hiiragi called over his shoulder. "Get dressed, or I'll pick your clothes for you."Victor groaned but couldn't help the smile tugging at his lips as he got out of bed and quickly dressed. Within half an hour, they were at the mall, the bustling atmosphere a sharp contrast to the peaceful intimacy they had shared earlier.Hiiragi led the way, walking with a confidence that Victor admired. His hand occasionally brushed against Victor's as they walked, a silent reminder of their newfound closeness. Every so often, Hiiragi would glance back at Victor with a knowing smile, as if to say, I've got you.As they entered one of the trendy clothing stores, Hiiragi immediately took charge, grabbing a few shirts and jeans off the racks and tossing them to Victor. "Try these on," he ordered, not even giving Victor a chance to protest.Victor hesitated, looking down at the clothes in his arms. "Are you sure these are my style?" he asked uncertainly.Hiiragi rolled his eyes playfully, pushing Victor toward the fitting rooms. "Just trust me. I know what looks good on you."Victor sighed but went along with it, disappearing into the fitting room. A few minutes later, he emerged, wearing the first outfit Hiiragi had picked out. It was a simple black shirt and fitted jeans, but the way Hiiragi's eyes lit up when he saw him made Victor's heart skip a beat."Perfect," Hiiragi said, his tone leaving no room for argument. He stepped closer, his eyes roaming over Victor appreciatively. "You look amazing."Victor blushed again, feeling a little self-conscious under Hiiragi's gaze. "You think so?"Hiiragi smirked, leaning in close so only Victor could hear. "I know so. You're hot, and I'm not the only one who's noticed."Victor's blush deepened at the compliment, but before he could respond, Hiiragi was pulling him toward the register. "We're buying this," Hiiragi said firmly, ignoring Victor's protests about the price.As they left the store, bags in hand, Hiiragi draped an arm around Victor's shoulders, pulling him close. Victor leaned into him, feeling a sense of contentment settle over him. Being with Hiiragi like this—letting him take the lead—felt natural, easy, as if they had been doing it for years."Where to next?" Victor asked, glancing up at Hiiragi.Hiiragi grinned, squeezing Victor's shoulder. "You'll see. Just follow my lead."And for once, Victor didn't mind letting Hiiragi take control. With Hiiragi by his side, he felt like he could take on anything.After leaving the store, Hiiragi led Victor through the crowded mall with an air of confidence, his arm still wrapped snugly around Victor's shoulders. They weaved through the bustling corridors, past excited shoppers and window displays, until they reached their next destination: a stylish cafe tucked away in one corner of the mall.Hiiragi gave Victor a knowing smile as they entered. "Let's take a break. You look like you could use some caffeine after that shopping spree."Victor chuckled, nodding in agreement. "I didn't expect you to be so... relentless.""I take shopping seriously," Hiiragi replied with a smirk, guiding Victor to a cozy booth near the window. They settled in across from each other, the lively atmosphere of the mall fading into the background as they locked eyes.A server came by to take their orders, and after they'd asked for coffee and pastries, Hiiragi leaned back in his seat, eyes never leaving Victor. There was something about the way Hiiragi looked at him that made Victor's heart race—a mixture of affection and intensity that left him feeling both flustered and deeply cared for."So, you're really into taking charge, huh?" Victor teased, trying to ease his own nerves with some light banter.Hiiragi smirked again, leaning forward, his fingers lightly tracing the edge of the table. "When it comes to you, yeah. I like knowing I can take care of you, that I can make you feel good. But only if you let me."Victor's face turned bright red at that last comment, the blush creeping all the way to his ears. He stammered, struggling to find the right words, but all he could manage was, "I-I... well, you... yeah."Hiiragi laughed softly, his eyes softening as he reached across the table to take Victor's hand. "Relax. I'm just messing with you—mostly. I'm just glad we're finally here, you know? After everything."Victor's heart swelled at the sincerity in Hiiragi's voice, and he squeezed Hiiragi's hand in return, finding comfort in the simple gesture. "Me too," he said quietly. "I never thought this would happen. Not like this."Hiiragi's gaze softened even more as he lifted Victor's hand to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss to the back of it. "It's happening, Vic. We're making it happen."Victor felt a rush of warmth spread through him, his earlier nervousness replaced by something much deeper, much more certain. He smiled shyly, his cheeks still tinged with pink, and whispered, "Yeah... we are."The server returned with their coffee and pastries, briefly breaking the moment, but as soon as she left, Hiiragi was back to being the teasing, dominant force that Victor had come to adore. He took a bite of his pastry, eyes sparkling mischievously as he watched Victor sip his coffee."So, what's next?" Victor asked, trying to keep up with Hiiragi's energy.Hiiragi leaned back, a slow, satisfied smile spreading across his lips. "Next? I think we'll finish our coffee, maybe grab a few more things from the shops, then head back to your place. I'm not done with you yet."Victor nearly choked on his coffee, coughing slightly as he turned an even deeper shade of red. "Y-You're relentless..."Hiiragi chuckled, clearly enjoying Victor's flustered reaction. "You wouldn't want it any other way."They spent the rest of their time at the cafe chatting and laughing, the ease between them growing with every passing minute. Hiiragi was assertive, confident, and effortlessly charming, while Victor, though still a bit shy and flustered, found himself falling more and more into the rhythm of their dynamic. It was a balance, a give-and-take, and for the first time in a long while, Victor felt like he could just let go and enjoy the ride.After finishing their coffee, they left the cafe and spent another hour browsing through various stores. Hiiragi continued to take the lead, picking out things for Victor, teasing him about his reactions, and making him blush at every opportunity. And though Victor protested, there was no denying the joy in his eyes, the comfort he felt being with Hiiragi in this way.Eventually, they made their way back to Victor's apartment, the bags from their shopping spree in tow. As soon as they stepped inside, the atmosphere shifted once again. Hiiragi's playful demeanor remained, but there was an undercurrent of something deeper, more intense, as he set the bags down and turned to Victor with a look that made Victor's heart race all over again."So," Hiiragi said, his voice low and teasing as he stepped closer, "are you ready for round two?"Victor's face turned bright red as Hiiragi closed the distance between them, but this time, there was no hesitation. He smiled, a bit shy but determined, and nodded. "Yeah... I'm ready."And with that, Hiiragi pulled him in for another kiss, deep and slow, the world outside fading away as they lost themselves in each other once again.
THE END
