Chapter 26


Hoshi leads him up a pair of stairs as the shore was beginning to disappear in the distance. The deck was large with plenty of places to sit down either on a padded ground or on the side. Junko inhales deeply, the smell and the feeling of a boat under his feet bringing back some of his early memories of his father. He smiles softly before turning to Hoshi.

"You're not going to get squeamish about baiting your hook, are you? Hoshi coughs slightly.

"I might." he walks over to the edge of the boat.

"Im going to call the coast guard and see if theres somewhere where we can just float." Hoshi kisses his neck before climbing back to the wheel room.

The sun was starting to set giving a bright orange and yellow skyline. Junko nods, pulling the throwing net he found from his pocket.

"I'll get the bait." He says.

He goes to the rail and swings the net into an arc over the water. It lands in a perfect circle, the weights pulling it immediately down before he pulls it back up. Quickly he begins a collection of small fish and debris at his feet. The feeling of the boat going a little faster is felt as Hoshi comes up.

"We will be in a good spot in about 10 minutes." Junko offers Hoshi a smile.

"I assume since there are fishing supplies on here, there's a fillet knife around somewhere?" Hoshi shrugs.

"The original owner loved to fish. He sold it to me after my accident. Felt sorry for me." he disappears back into the wheel house.

Junko sits down, heedless of his new clothing, and begins seperating the bait fish from the plants and little bits of stuff on the deck beside him. He comes up with twelve good-size bait fish andsits back with a smile to await his knife.

"And a cutting board if there is one!" he calls after Hoshi.

A few minutes pass as the boat starts to slow now as a wodden board flys up to him.

"One cutting board and knife found." Hoshi climbs up walking over. "What is all this?" He hands Junko the knife.

Junko takes the sheathed knife and sets up with the cutting board, quickly cutting the flopping fish into thumb-size chunks.

"Bait." He replies nonchalantly.

Hoshi gags as he steps away.

"Ew." Junko can't hold back an incredulous laugh.

Once finished with the bait, he sets them to the side, using the deckside spigot to rinse his hands, the knife, the board, then the deck, washing everything out the small hatch.

"Alright then. Bring the rods and that box beside them." The tackle the previous owner left is high-grade stuff, but nothing really beats food from the target environment. Hoshi nods and grabs the rods and the box before taking as seat next to Junko. He took off his boots showing his socked feet. Junko grins to him, taking the longer of the two poles and setting it up. It's already reeled, but he adds a sharp hook and presses a piece of bait onto it before handing it to Hoshi. The bait hangs about a foot and a half from the end of the pole. "Hold that, will you?" he asks.

Hoshi takes it and holds it.

"I kinda feel bad for the little fish." Junko shrugs and begins rigging the shorter rod.

"If it makes you feel better, a fish's nervous system doesn't work like ours, so they don't feel sharp pain." Once the rod is done, he swings the tip behind him. holding it in front of him and turning to Hoshi. He points to a round wire cage on the reel. "You see this?" Hoshi looks at it then nods.

"Ya."

"Okay." He reaches one finger around the string, pulling it against the rod before flipping the cage up, allowing the line to feed. "This is how you're going to be casting." He says as he flicks the rod forward with a deft motion. The bait goes sailing far across the water, the reel buzzing as line is fed out of it, before it plops in and the cage automatically pops back down. Junko turns the crank a couple times before hooking the pole in one of the several holsters on the side of the boat and going to Hoshi's side- careful to watch for his hook. "I'll help you with yours the first time so you can get a feel for it." Hoshi nods as he felt like he was a child again. Someone was teaching him something. He tries to hold the reel like Junko but his cage thing doesnt release. Junko steps close behind Hoshi, putting his hands over his lovers and speaking against his ear as he moves Hoshi's hands to the right position. "Like this. I gave you the longer pole because you have more upper arm strength than I do, so use it. Now," He pulls the pole (and Hoshi's hands) upward. "On the count of three, I want you to do several things at once. Release the line, flick your wrists forward, and straigten your arms just a bit, has to have a little kick at the end..." He releases Hoshi's hands and moves off to the side and out of range of any widely thrown hooks. "One...two...three..." Hoshi flicks the reel letting go of the line as his bait flies into the water as he smiles almost child like.

"I did it!" Junko jumps in place, clapping his hands together.

"Wonderful! You'll learn this in no time!" He returns to his own rod, seating himself and putting the shaft of the rod between his thighs as he relaxes.

"Now, we wait. If you feel a nibble, don't be too quick to pull the line. Wait till he pulls on it. The sharply jerk the rod up and toward yourself to set the hook. After that, I'll help." Hoshi nods sitting next to him gently wrapping and arm around his waist.

"So where did you learn to fish?" Junko's look softens and his eyes seem to loose focus as he looks inward.

"My father taught me when I was...very little." Hoshi pets his hair.

"You havent mentioned your father at all to me."

"I haven't been fishing since....well. Not for a long time. He isn't around anymore." Hoshi pulls him closer.

"How come?" Junko's soft look turns sad and he shrugs, looking away.

"He died." Hoshi looks at him then pulling him closer.

"How did it happen?" Junko shrugs again visibly trying to lighten a bit.

"How does anyone die? It doesn't matter." He shakes himself before glancing over to Hoshi's fisshing pole.

"Careful now, if you feel too many nibbles, you may want to pull in and re-cast. You don't want them stealing your bait." he states with a casualness that doesn't reach his eyes.

Hoshi holds onto his rod as he looks at him.

"I sense you dont want to talk about it so i will let it slide." Junkos tiny grin isn't forced this time.

"These are not the droids you are looking for." He mutters to himself.

Hoshi looks at him oddly about his comment about droids but he lets it slide. He notices his reel twitch a bit before holding onto it.

"It feels stronger this time." Junko sets aside his rod, making sure it's hooked firmly into the holder.

"Next time, jerk the rod and start reeling, okay?" He says as he comes over to stand beside Hoshi.

Hoshi waits then pulls the rod and starts to reel in.

"There's something on my line!" Junko grins and wraps his arms around Hoshi from behind, taking his hands and showing him how to pull up and reel down.

After a few moments, he releases his lover.

"Think you can land the fish now?" Hoshi looks back at him.

"I dont think so..." Junko laughs brightly.

"Okay, keep reeling, I'll land it when it gets close enough" Hoshi nods as he continues to reel. This was such a surreal experience. He knew that if anyone such as Jacklon were to see them would laugh at his helplessness. When Junko judged the fish near enough, he pulled a long net from seemingly nowhere. "Okay, hold off on the reeling." When Hoshi did, Junko went to the edge of the boat, grabbing the line and pulling the struggling animal closer so he could catch it in the net. With a big smile, he pulled the 3ft long fish onto the deck. "Damn, Hoshi, he's huge!" Hoshi smiles brightly as he looked at the fish.

"Wow... i did it!" Junko makes an odd sound and dives for his own fishing rod just in time to save it from shooting into the water.

He quickly reels the line, pulling the smaller fish to heel easily.

"You think you could land this one for me, eh?" he asks with a grin.

Hoshi gulps then leans over grabbing the line pulling up the little 1ft fish and putting him on the deck. Junko smiles to Hoshi.

"Arlight, could you lift the cooler?" He gestures to a hatch in the deck not far from where they're standing which opens into a small area filled with fresh water.

Junko works on removing the hooks from the two wildly flopping fish. Hoshi opens up the cooler. He was proud of himself. Junko laughs as he drops both fish into the cooler, shutting the hatch once they're settled.

"Your fish is bigger than mine." Hoshi chuckles and pulls him close.

"It's ok but little is cute." Junko snorts good-naturedly.

"Depends on who you're talking to. I personally..." He starts, sidling close to Hoshi and sliding against him. "Am just fine with big." Hoshi smirks and leans down kissing him hard. God this guy was so beautiful and changed him drastically. Junko returns the kiss with equal fervor before backing away a bit, sheepishly. "Ew. I smell like fish." He grins. Hoshi chuckles.

"There is a shower down below if you would like to share it with me?" he steps close.

Junko bites his lip and nods.

"Sounds good." He can't resist the urge to flick his tongue over Hoshi's lips.

Hoshi purrs and leads him down to under the water. The bedroom was small but still very much elegant. Their bags were on the big bed. He opens a door showing a nice bathroom. Junko, having already explored the area, pulls two towels from the closet and sets them on the lid of the toilet before throwing a cute glance over his shoulder as he unbuttons his pants. Hoshi pulls his shirt over his head before unzipping his pants. Hoshi moved over kissing his neck.

"So beautiful."

"So stinky, you mean." Junko says with a chuckle as he quickly disrobes. Come on. When I'm all squeaky clean, I'll let you get me dirty again." he says with a wink. Hoshi grins as he finishes undressing. He turns on the shower then pulls off his eyepatch. Junko jumps under the water quickly, soaking himself and grabbing the shampoo. He pauses, wiping water from his eyes as he glances down at it. "I guess I should pay attention to what I wash my hair with, now that it's a different color..." Hoshi smiles and stands under the water with him.

"Just relax love." he turns Junko aorund then starts to gently massage the shampoo into his hair.

Slowly he works his hair into a lather. Junko releases a small moan. No one ever played with his hair! Hoshi continues to massage his scalp. He easily moved down his throat then his shoulders. Junko can do nothing but melt under his lover's hands. He feels himself harden and leans back against Hoshi's slick body. Hoshi smiles and moves his hands down Junko's chest his finger dragging over his nipples. The bubbles pop against his skin.

"God...Hoshi..." Junko turns abruptly, taking Hoshi's mouth and pressing him hard against the wall of the shower. Hoshi moans as the water gently begins to wash the bubbles away. He gently sucks on his lip while his hands move over his sides. Junko's hands seem to be everywhere at once, slipping over Hoshi's chest, his back, hips, and belly; dipping lower to run teasingly over his thick hardness. Junko's tongue duels with Hoshi's, sucking and flicking at his lips. Hoshi moans while his hands down to Junko's bottom pulling him close. He breaks the kiss while his lips move over Junko's throat. Junko wraps himself around Hoshi easily, nuzzling his ear and whispering. "I want you...please, Hoshi..." Hoshi easily lifted him and presses him to the cold wall.

"Then you will have me." He pressed his cock to the enterence.

He slowly teased his enterence grinning. Junko bit his lip, trying to press down on that tempting hardness.

"God...Hoshi, I need you..." Hoshi smirks then thrusts up into him.

The shampoo that had left Junko's hair now was used for lube. A few bubbles still recide in Junko's hair while Hoshi starts to make long slow thrusts. Junko can't hold back his cries. He holds Hoshi tightly to him, sucking hard on his neck. Hoshi moans tilting his head back. He continued the long slow thrusts while his hand strokes him in time with his thrusts. Junko can't last long and after several strokes, he tenses and -with a low moan- spatters his release over both their chests. Hoshi moans as he starts to pound into him. He knew Junko had another one in him. Hoshi bit down on Junko throat. Junko's head shot back, nearly crashing into the shower wall as he moans and clenches around Hoshi. Hoshi continues to pound into him harder. Hoshi leaves several bite marks on Junko's neck before breathing into Junko's ear.

"Does Junko like my cock deep inside you?"

"O-oh God....yes, Hoshi...please..." Junko's renewed erection slides slickly between them and Junko can feel himself getting closer every time Hoshi's teeth touch his skin.

Hoshi growls deeply as he pounds into him harder. He moves to the other side and bites down on his throat hard. His hand strokes him fast. Junko's voice stutters to a stop as his second orgasm rips through him. He shudders and his muscles tense and release rythmically around Hoshi's hardness. Hoshi howls loud while he releases himself deep inside Junko. God he couldn’t help but fall more and more for this man. Junko pants against Hoshi's neck, nuzzling him softly. Hoshi slowly lets him down as his cock slips out of Junko. He gently holds Junko close.

"God your amazing."

"Me?" Junko asks incredulously. "I never got off twice in a row till I met you, love." Hoshi smiles and kisses his lips sweetly.

"Come on we still have to clean up." Junko smiles and nods. reluctantly releasing Hoshi to finish cleaning himself.

Hoshi cleans himself as well. He turns the water off grabbing the towels handing it to Junko.

"Feel like just wearing pajama pants?" Junko gives a surprised and pleased sigh.

"Hey, yeah. Not like anyone's going to see, is it?" He smiles happily.

Hoshi smiles kissing his lips before walking into the bedroom. He opened up the bags and pulled out a red pair of pajama pants and a black pajama pants.

"Here you go." he holds the red one to him.

Junko stares at him for a moment.

"Red is...er. Not my color. I look like Christmas in it." Hoshi smirks and holds the red pants to his navy blue hair.

"I think you will look drop dead gorgous." Junko squints for a few seconds before rolling his eyes and slapping his forehead.

"Okay. Now I feel stupid." He quickly drops the towel from his waist, flinging it around his shoulders before slipping into the red pants.

Hoshi puts on his black pants before walking back up to the deck.

"So you want to grill these now?" Junko nods.

"I'll cut them into fillets real quick and you can grill, okay?" Hoshi nods before grabbing the portable cooler.

He brought it down to the gally kitchen.

"Thankfully this place is full stocked with food." Junko nods absently, clearing an area to clean the fish.

Hoshi grabs the two fish out of the cooler setting them on the counter.

"Ill make something to go along with the fish." Junko smiles over his shoulder and gets to work.

"We..." He clears his throat with a small laugh. "We work well togehter, don't we?" Hoshi smiles and rests his hand on Junko's rear.

"I think so." he leans down kissing his throat.

Junko hums in contentment, unable to believe he could be so happy with another person.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Hoshi smiles and walks back to the cabinets.

He pulls out some plain rice and a few other things to make a side dish.
