Chapter Seven - They also do this

“Ryoma, sit down, please” Duo asked in the middle of wiping his tears that wouldn’t end. Ryoma did as told and Duo finally sat up next to him as well. He wiped some more tears off his face and looked with honest eyes into Ryoma’s. “One day you might really hate me for doing this… yeah, it’s fun to call it a workout and it certainly is that, but this is… how do you say, private stuff. Something you do with a boyfriend, something you do out of feelings… you know… when you’re into someone. And I thought you knew this and you were using cute jokes to get me into it. And I thought you….” he silenced then, but decided to finish the sentence “…were into me. I thought you liked me”.

This one sentence didn’t make Ryoma a pro about relationships, feelings, friendships or sex, but he thought about it carefully. So someone had made a mistake, but he didn’t feel like anything bad happened to him. He didn’t feel he was hurt, and he certainly didn’t feel he had to hate anyone for it. “Liked…you?” he asked, feeling confused. This new friend did show his willingness to help him and he did show him around even after being pushed away. Ryoma knew he wasn’t too nice the other day and knew that Duo was very polite and kind to do this. Also, he knew that during the moments that Duo was physically close to him, he felt warm. When Duo’s lips touched his, it felt nice. When Duo’s hands were on him, he felt safe. And when they practiced basketball the other day, it felt like a nice workout as well. So did this. It was fair to say he much enjoyed Duo’s presence. “I like what you do, how you’re being friendly, how you touched me seemed nice and what you did was a good…” he stopped, didn’t want to say workout or exercise because that’s what disappointed Duo before “…anyway… doesn’t it mean that I like you much more than I dislike?”

Duo felt his flowing tears slowing down, and soon coming to an end. Granted, the boy still was clueless about many things but Duo felt it safe enough to hug, even though they were naked. He felt Ryoma’s hand on his own shoulder as they silently made the agreement of enjoying each others company. “Is this what people who like each other do?” Ryoma asked in an uncertain voice. “Yes, Ryoma-chan” Duo replied gently and decided to continue “they also do this” he said as their lips found each other again. This time, it was very real and Duo’s pleasure was to find out that perfect things can get even better.

“Can we sex again?” Ryoma asked, quite certain that was the right way to use the new word. Duo giggled at the cuteness of that sound. “Let’s first talk a bit about it, Ryoma-chan” he said while pulling the boy to lie down with him in bed. “This is going to take a while before it makes sense…” he started slowly “…so get into a very comfortable position”. Duo pulled the blanket on top of them and made sure Ryoma got all the warmth he needed. “First of all...it’s you and me” he spoke gently and started a long but rewarding lesson.

As the next morning came, a kind spirit had finally come to protect the old stone wall, as a certain boy with a tennis ball wasn’t there today.
