Ren pulled the attaché case away from Kazutaka’s groin and set it aside. Ren pressed his knee into Kazutaka’s groin.
✦ ✦ ✦
“If you like somebody, you have to show it. That’s my way. If you really don’t want to go through with this, Kazutaka, you need to convince me. But none of that talk of yours that you use on middle schoolers.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Ren, wait. I can’t think of a good convincing argument right now.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Your first argument was ‘you shouldn’t do things like this with someone you don’t even like,’ right? Let me tell you something. I love you.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“When did you have time to develop such feelings?”
✦ ✦ ✦
“While you talked in your sleep.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Talked in my sleep? What did I say?”
✦ ✦ ✦
“You said, ‘that section will be on the exam!’ I’ve been watching your words, actions, and demeanor. Accurate observation is a basic principle of mine. I think you're cute. I have an employee at my factory. He’s young and handsome. I have never wanted to touch him like I’m doing to you now. I know you don’t dislike me. You've already told me that you love me.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka couldn’t think of any counterargument. Ren slowly leaned into Kazutaka and pressed his lips against Kazutaka’s cheek. “I’ve found something we can share. With tender loving care, a little part will become very useful. If I neglect it, I’ll regret it for sure. Give me a chance to polish your part, Kazutaka.”
✦ ✦ ✦
The water drops trickling down Ren's face made him look extremely sexy. Kazutaka felt that they had come to the point of no return.
✦ ✦ ✦
“All right. You can rub me any way you want, Ren.” The first gentle kiss took place in the steamy, foggy bathroom.
✦ ✦ ✦
Bubbles came out of the attaché case as it was dragged under water. Soap melted in the tub, making the water an erotic milky color.
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren wasn’t lying when he said he was an expert. Kazutaka was turned on. Ren caressed Kazutaka while kissing his chest. Kazutaka’s body was loosened up by the tub water, and Ren’s fingers were doing their work. When Ren pressed on Kazutaka’s clenched star directly, Kazutaka felt a strong rush tightening his whole body.
✦ ✦ ✦
“No, not there. Ren, no.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Can I put it in?”
✦ ✦ ✦
“The tub is so small.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“It’s better if there’s no way out.”
✦ ✦ ✦
In the bathtub, Kazutaka weighed less. Ren easily put him on all fours and penetrated Kazutaka’s ring with his hot cock. Since it had not been used for so long, Kazutaka was tight. He felt a burning sensation at first as Ren pushed his way in. Soon, the pain gradually subsided and different sensations began running through his body.
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren and Kazutaka had lived without knowing each other for over 20 years. They had grown up and began working without knowledge of each other’s existence. They were now accepting each other completely and were passionate about the contact they shared. They were happy.
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren’s torso now was covering Kazutaka’s back. The water undulated to Ren’s moves. It started as small ripples but the water gradually rose to Ren’s thrusts, becoming almost like a tidal wave.
✦ ✦ ✦
The attaché case was completely immersed, resting on the bottom of the tub. Kazutaka felt frustrated that he couldn’t use his left hand freely.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Ren. Ahh, Ren. Ugh.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka’s voice sounded sexy, echoing in the small bathroom. Ren’s thrusts got harder and faster. Water was splashed everywhere. Water shot out of a small gap between Kazutaka’s groin and the water surface like a squirt gun, surging from his bottom and up his back like a tsunami, spilling over the tub rim.
✦ ✦ ✦
As Kazutaka was supporting himself with his right hand on the tub, he couldn’t touch himself.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Ren, I can’t hold it any longer. I need to come, Ren.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Do you want to come to bed?”
✦ ✦ ✦
“No, that’s not it. A bed would be nice but I just have to come.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren chuckled against Kazutaka’s shoulder and moved his hand toward Kazutaka’s cock. Ren held Kazutaka’s cock softly but firmly and pressed his finger across its tip, pulling back its foreskin further. Kazutaka clamped his thighs together in response to the overwhelming sensation. The skin around the tip of a penis was very thin. Kazutaka’s abdominal muscles trembled as electricity surged through him at Ren’s touch.
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren felt the same surge.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Am...uh.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka heard a moaning voice behind him. Ren began stroking Kazutaka skillfully.
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka felt Ren's warmth on his back. Ren’s left hand was supporting Kazutaka’s torso. Kazutaka heard Ren’s heavy breaths and felt Ren’s face moving back and forth over his shoulders.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Ren. I’m coming.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Okay.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka’s loins wanted it and his back begged for it. Less than a minute later, Kazutaka came. Kazutaka sank into the water, panting through the afterglow. Ren put his lips on Kazutaka’s ear.
✦ ✦ ✦
“That was wonderful.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren bucked his hips softly one more time, indicating Kazutaka had a nice ass. Ren appeared to be a veteran. Kazutaka felt secure and closed his eyes.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Let’s go to bed, Ren.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Good idea.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren didn’t pull out right away, taking it slowly for Kazutaka. The two were swaying back and forth gently with the movements of the water. Feeling comfortable, Kazutaka thought Ren was sweet.
✦ ✦ ✦
Since the worst Sunday ever, a lot had happened to turn Kazutaka’s life upside down. But if that was all a preparation for becoming one with Ren, it was worth it, Kazutaka thought.
✦ ✦ ✦
“I’m falling asleep here, Ren.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Shall we get out?”
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren held the attaché case and Kazutaka held onto the tub rim, swaying slowly and raising himself up.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Our clothes and the case are all wet.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren carefully dried Kazutaka with a towel.
✦ ✦ ✦
Water had gotten inside the case. When set down on the floor in upright position, water puddled out. Ren used his knife to cut off soaking wet dress shirt and T-shirt Kazutaka was wearing on his wrist. Now all Kazutaka was wearing was the attaché case.
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren helped Kazutaka to bed, holding him from behind. Ren put a towel next to a pillow and set the attaché case on it.
✦ ✦ ✦
“This case is really a nuisance.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren glared at the case as he continued drying Kazutaka.
✦ ✦ ✦
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Think of it as part of me until we can remove the handcuffs.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka shook his hand and the handcuff chain swung. Just then, there was a small beep followed by a click. The inner ring of the handcuff moved and expanded to fit to the outer ring. There was another click at the end. It happened so quietly and casually, Kazutaka couldn’t recognize the fact that the handcuffs were open.
✦ ✦ ✦
“No way...”
✦ ✦ ✦
He had wanted to remove the handcuffs so badly. Now that they were off, Kazutaka couldn’t believe it.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Ren, the handcuffs came off.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Huh?”
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka held out his now free left hand. Ren's eyes widened.
✦ ✦ ✦
“You gotta be kidding.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren looked at Kazutaka’s hand and then at the handcuffs. He quickly picked up the sensor key from the table. Ren looked at the display and shouted.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Oh...the display has changed. A-ha! I get it now!”
✦ ✦ ✦
“The display now says ‘Urgent!’ It must be because the handcuffs were under water! The machine sensed there was an emergency and automatically unlocked itself!”
✦ ✦ ✦
Remembering all the trouble they had gone through, Kazutaka felt faint and fell backwards onto the bed. Ren jumped onto the bed, lying down next to Kazutaka.
✦ ✦ ✦
“Look at this, Kazutaka. ‘U12’ must be an error code. It probably means the water. When the handcuffs sense a lot of water, it assumes the owner is in some kind of trouble and unlocks itself. It’s a safety measures so that the owner won’t drown from the weight of cargo when thrown overboard from a ship.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“What have I been struggling for?”
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren hugged Kazutaka and replied with a hearty laughter.
✦ ✦ ✦
“I know. The god of the attaché case has given you this burden so that you’d have to stay with me.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Easy for you to say, Ren.”
✦ ✦ ✦
“Think about it. If we had managed to remove the cuffs so easily in the beginning, you wouldn’t have spent this much time with me. We’ve been together only because you were connected to the attaché case by the handcuffs, right?”
✦ ✦ ✦
True, all this wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
✦ ✦ ✦
“So the attaché case brought us romance?”
✦ ✦ ✦
“That’s right.”
✦ ✦ ✦
They looked at each other and laughed. Ren placed Kazutaka’s left hand in his. Ren raised their hands up to his face and kissed Kazutaka’s wrist gently. Ren closed his eyes and then whispered happily, “This is great. I’m so glad that you're free.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka thought Ren looked quite bewitching.
✦ ✦ ✦
Kazutaka told Shīno that he'd lost the attaché case. Shīno nodded slightly.
✦ ✦ ✦
“The important thing is that you got home safely, Yui. Don’t worry about the case.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Shīno looked relieved and smiled a little. He wasn’t quibbling. Kazutaka thought Shīno was being sincere.
✦ ✦ ✦
Ren and Fuwa-san told Kazutaka not to trust Shīno. But seeing him in person, Kazutaka thought that Shīno must have been really worried about his friend’s plight. Maybe Kazutaka was being a pushover again.
