Between us Cousins
Piles of brightly wrapped presents were heaped on the kitchen table at the Seguchi household.
The owner of the house, Tohma Seguchi, smiled politely at all his little guests, talking with a few he knew, helping some get food.
The day was July sixth, the birthday of his baby cousin.
Who, he noted silently, was no where to be found.
"Tohma-san!" A high, squeaky voice called after him, and he waved his hand frantically at his wife to get her attention.
He escaped from the cluster of warm bodies and made his way outside.
His house, which was huge and modern, towered behind him as he walked quickly to the back of the yard, where he saw a small green head of hair.
As he neared his cousin's side, he heard sniffling, and stopped short.
Suguru Fujisaki was upset, and after all he'd done to make his fourteenth birthday a success.
What had he done wrong?
"Tohma-kun…" the green haired youth sniffled, and the blonde man was beside him in an instant.
"What's wrong Suguru…I thought…I thought you liked your party."
Suguru jumped in surprise at the very thought of that.
"No! No, I love the party! It was very thoughtful of you, since mom and dad are out of town. Arigretou."
"Then why are you crying?" Tohma prompted softly, putting an arm around the boy's shoulders.
Suguru burst into tears again and buried his face into Tohma's chest.
"Tatsuya and Miki where making fun of me!" he wailed, and Tohma cradled his cousin close. Protectiveness bubbled up inside of him, but he pushed it down far enough to ask why.
The boy murmured his answer and cuddled closer to the blonde man.
"Nani?" Tohma asked, petting his hair.
"I've…they said I wasn't…that I'd never have sex!" he exclaimed loudly, and Tohma fought the urge to fall over.
"What on EARTH…? WHY would they say something like that?"
"…"
"Suguru-chan, come on…you can tell me."
"Ano…see…I've never been kissed."
Suguru turned bright red and hid his face in his hands.
"I'm such a loser!" he moaned.
Tohma let out a short giggle.
The green haired boy turned to glare at him, making him laugh even harder.
"It's not funny!" He protested, jumping up and away from his cousin.
Tohma wiped a tear trailing from the corner of his eye as he stood up.
"Iie, baka, its not. I'm laughing with you, really."
"Yeah right."
Tohma shook his head helplessly.
"Look, if you get kissed, would those two boys leave you alone?"
"Yeah…demo…who?"
"I'll kiss you."
Suguru's face flamed brightly, as he put his hands out in front of him in a manner that clearly stated what he thought of that idea.
"You can't…! We're…we're cousins!" he squeaked.
"I'm ok with it. What's a little kiss between family anyway?" Tohma asked softly, inching slowly toward the green haired boy.
"Tohma-kun…"
The man suddenly reached out, grabbed Suguru's wrist, and pulled him close, sealing their lips in one fluid motion.
Suguru let out a squawk of protest, but stopped fighting as Tohma's tongue ran along his lower lip. He moaned unconsciously and wrapped his arms around his cousins' neck, pulling him close to deepen the kiss.
It was deep and intense, and made Suguru's knees go weak. He leaned in close as their tongues spared; Tohma's experienced one quickly dominating.
And just as Suguru was starting to really get into it, he felt the lips pull away. He whimpered at the loss.
Tohma laughed and tapped his nose softly.
"Baka. Happy birthday Suguru-chan."
Suguru smiled despite himself.
"Thanks." He whispered, taking the other man's hand.
And together they walked back to the party.
