Dark Eden

I made a mistake in Thirteen in the written part of Dark Eden,
Riuki's hair *is* a dark brown (also known as brunette just in case
you didn't know) not a blond. I'm sorry for getting it wrong, but
it's fixed now so everything's fine now.

If Tsukasa weren't a pain in the butt maybe he'd have more sex.
Heh. And the last smutt was short because I'm out of practise, sadly.
So not only am I completely embarissed while writing it, I'm
completely paranoid and think that what I'm writing is horrible XP So
obviously the solution is to write more smutt so I get more practise
XD which is hard when Tsukasa keeps messing it up for himself.

All characters, plot, setting, stories within the story belong
completely to me. They are not up for borrowing, stealing, maping,
crossing or breading. Reviews, as always, are always welcome. Enjoy
^^

The novel he had found was absolutely absorbing. Near the middle
of it the red marks increased, as if the centre was Tsukasa’s
least favourite part. It annoyed him that there was red on every
page, filling the margin completely in places, it distracted him from
the story.

By the next night he was almost finished, all that was left was
the last few pages that drew it all together so nicely.

“What are you reading?” Tsukasa caught him off guard.

Sho glanced up at Tsukasa’s cold voice and stared openly at
the beer in his hand, “Are you drinking?”

“I do once in a while. Where did you get that?” his
older lover motioned to the novel.

“Under the bed. I didn’t think you would mind, it was
jus- no!” Tsukasa snatched it away from him, “Give it
back!”

“You shouldn’t have taken this Sho, it’s mine.”

“It never left the apartment!”

Tsukasa threw it across the room to settle in the far corner,
which was farther than Sho thought he could get without having
Tsukasa bearing down on him, pinning him to the floor and …
most likely… ravaging him.

“Why did you do that?” Sho snapped.

“Because it’s a despicable book.”

“No it’s not! You’re just being too judgemental.
It might have a slow start, but it’s good!”

Tsukasa looked like he had been slapped, “The start is
perfect.”

“Ugh, no, it’s horribly dull and slow.”

“Never mind,” the dark haired man shook his head and
took a drink of his beer.

“Why are you being so mean to that author? It’s not as
bad as you make it out to be!”

“Ever writer doubts their abilities now and then.”

What Tsukasa almost made sense for a second, but when Sho tried to
register exactly why it did everything slipped away and he was left
with that annoying feeling he always got when he forgot something,
“That has nothing to do with it!”

“Forget it,” Tsukasa set the beer on the counter,
grabbed his keys and headed towards the door.

“Where are you going?”

Sho really hoped that this was not going to be what happened every
time they got in a little tiff. If Tsukasa always left how were they
ever supposed to settle things? Especially when it’s over
something stupid as a book.

“Out-” As Tsukasa opened the door there was a female
squeal of delight and he was tackled to the floor.

“You!” the brown haired woman smacked Tsukasa’s
shoulder harshly.

“You! How the fuck did you find me?”

“Aw, come on Tsukasa, you know daddy wouldn’t let you
out of his sight for longer than a week.”

Maybe the woman was his sister? That would explain her attitude…
or… a close friend?

“Get off of me!”

The woman shrugged and climbed off of him, her brown eyes settling
on Sho, “Mean as usual. Oh hi, who are you?”

“…Sho…”

“How adorable. Tsukasa, you said he was underage but you
never said he was so cute!”

Sho watched the woman blather on for several minutes as Tsukasa
rolled his eyes and retrieved his forgotten beer from the counter.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

Sho jumped in his seat as Tsukasa paused, the beer mid way to his
mouth as the woman marched up to him and tore it out of his hands.
Growling the whole way to the kitchen where she dumped it out and
stoutly returned to berate Tsukasa for several minutes on the effects
of alcohol consumption on the body and mind.

“Now,” She said finally, “about that thing?”

“So?” Tsukasa arched an eyebrow.

“You were right, daddy loved it, it’s going with the
others. Who do we pay?”

“I’d like it put in an account for now.”

“We have to pay the person behind it. It’s not your
work.” she snarled.

“What are you guys talking about.”

“Keep out of it Sho.”

“Oh! Is it his work?” the woman grinned at Sho, making
the teen really, really hope that it wasn’t his work that they
were talking about. Though he hadn’t done any work yet so that
was impossible, right?

“Riuki…”

“Fine. But we have to find out who’s it is at least or
we can’t put it with the others.”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be covered completely.”

“Good. And you should have something for me?”

“You said next week.”

Tsukasa was sounded more irritated, lowering his voice as he
pulled Riuki down the hall and into the computer room. Sho sat on the
couch, dejected, and wondered what they were talking about before
picking up the phone and dialling Tahsu’s number.

“Did you know your house burnt down?” Tahsu asked
sarcastically.

“Yeah. I almost went with it.”

“I’m goanna let you slide by this time ‘cause of
the whole thing with your dad trying to kill you, but next time call
me or I’m kicking your ass.”

Sho couldn‘t help but grin, “No problem.”

“So, what’s the trouble in paradise?”

“Suddenly he’s secretive about stuff,” Sho
snorted.

“Like what, what he does while in the bathroom?”

“He keeps saying he’s got a second job but he never
works. Never leaves the house unless it’s with me. I found this
story and he completely flipped out when he caught me reading it. Now
some girl is over here dressed like a dominatrix and demanding
payment or something and he’s yelling at her in the computer
room.”

Not really, Riuki was dressed very conservatively but her looks
scared Sho so he decided to call her a dominatrix, since those women
scared him.

“It’s obvious then, when he doesn’t get his
weekly beating by a pretty little thing he gets moody as hell. The
book belonged to the man who raped him and left him for dead ten
years ago and then published afterwards so secretly he harbours a
love for him ‘cause it turned him gay. It’s a secret of
his so he’s trying to keep if from you so you don’t
discover his past.

“Did I mention alien abduction?” Tahsu added after a
moment of silence.

“I get it, I’m being paranoid.”

“Maybe he has an in home job that he can do randomly and you
don’t notice.”

“…maybe”

Just then they came back from the computer room.

“I’m expecting the rest next week.”

“Next week?” Tsukasa snapped in an acidic tone, “why
so soon?”

“Yes, next week, it’s completely feasible. Do it, or
be in agony,” Riuki replied in the same tone.

“Fine.”

“Good.”

Sho watched Riuki leave before he remembered that Tahsu was on the
other line, waiting in silence for a report on what was happening.

“Uh, I’ll call you back.” he finally said.

“M’Kay.”

Tsukasa locked the door behind her and set his forehead against it
in a heavy sigh.

“What was that about?” he asked innocently.

“Nothing Sho, don’t worry about it.”

“Oh, I’m not worrying, but your sex time was just
pushed up by a week. At least.”

“You’re denying me sex for a week because…?”

“You’re a bastard and won’t answer my question,”
Sho replied gruffly, standing from his spot stiffly.

He was angry and wasn’t sure exactly how to express it.
Although…

“I’m what?”

“Goodnight Tsukasa-sensei.” Any other time Sho had
made the mistake of calling Tsukasa ‘sensei’ he had been
ravaged in such a way that it bordered on un-pleasurable.

Tsukasa’s jaw dropped as Sho moved away from the couch, went
to his room and locked the door. Then he sat with his back against it
for a good hour to make sure Tsukasa wasn’t going to try to
break it down in a horny rage. He could still hear the older man
moving throughout the apartment when he finally went to bed, feeling
some what like a fool. So he had won… but what would Tsukasa
do to get him back for it?
