Notes I wanted to write a quick Miyusawa smutty one-shot, without angst. But of courseeeee, this turned out to be two chapters. Because I can't help myself. They just write themselves most of the time. First chap is some development, second is pretty much all smut. Let me know what you think! Second chapter will be up on Friday 8/26 or Saturday 8/27. :) ***** Chapter 1 ***** The sounds of grunts and metal on metal filled the training room, as all around the Seidou starters worked on various pieces of equipment. The scent of sweat was heavy in the air, present in every corner of the room. Sawamura Eijun was glad that somebody had thought to crack open a window. The cool fall air was a slight reprieve on sweaty skin, but not cold enough that it would chill their bodies while they worked out. He wiped at the congregation of moisture on his forehead with his still-tan forearm absently, watching as Zono added more weight to the squat rack. Inside the cage, Shirasu was breathing deeply between sets, his royal blue shirt drenched in so much sweat that it looked almost navy. Sawamura's golden-brown eyes wandered around idly, watching as Toujou and Kanemaru worked side-by-side at the seated shoulder press, their eyes focused and faces clenched as they pulled down on the bar. He noticed the amount of weight stacked up behind them, and thought smugly to himself oh I can definitely lift more than that! He lifted his chin in playful arrogance, not seeing that his two teammates added more weight after their first set. Near the free weight area, both Haruichi and Kawakami were choosing among the dumbbells, getting ready for their own exercise lineup. He noticed that his pal had started to tie back some of his bright pink hair so that it didn't stick to his neck while he worked out. "Hey! Dummy! Shouldn't you be paying attention?" There was a loud cackle nearby, and Sawamura would know it anywhere. In their room where he would receive a surprise attack and then his head would be put into a restraining headlock, or on the baseball diamond as Sawamura cheered his own successes and then he'd receive a swift kick to the ass. Instinctively, his roommate's tone and cackle had him reacting defensively, and his eyes narrowed. Frowning now, he looked over to his right, and Miyuki and Kuramochi had come to occupy the bench press next to him. The catcher had taken a seat on the bench, and for a moment, that's all he could focus on. All of Sawamura's huffiness and puffiness disappeared in the fraction of a second, eyes widening, a fresh wave of pink heightening his already flushed face. He felt his fingers unfurling from the fists that he had had them clenched in, all of his tension dissipating, joining the sweat-scented air around him. His heart started pounding earnestly in his chest, and his mouth was suddenly achingly dry. He was thirsty. So incredibly thirsty. Miyuki Kazuya was breathing deeply, catching his breath from whatever exercise he and Kuramochi had just completed. His Seidou team t-shirt, though white, was clearly saturated with copious amounts of sweat. The fabric clung to his chest in an appealing way, highlighting his powerfully athletic form underneath. While seated, his athletic pants squeezed tightly against his well-formed thighs, a tribute to all of the squats that Miyuki worked through in each of his workouts. Sawamura's eyes panned up, not missing the catcher's strong shoulders, or the way his dark brown hair fell slightly over his ears, or how it hung in sweaty strands on his neck in the back. He watched as Miyuki took a few much-needed gulps out of his water bottle, his slightly curvy lips squeezing at the bottle's plastic tip. Miyuki's brown eyes flashed mischievously and knowingly behind his black, square-framed glasses. He clearly saw the way Sawamura Eijun responded to him, and he took full advantage of it. "Did you even hear me? Yo! Sawamura! Wake the hell up!" Sawamura shook his head, a necessary action to get Miyuki Kazuya out of his mind. He saw that Kuramochi was glaring at him in exasperation, his hands on his hips, sneakered foot beating an angry pattern on the floor. "Do you even know how many reps Furuya's at?" Oh. Oh shit. Sawamura looked hastily down at his pitching teammate. Furuya Satoru's face was almost red and quite sweaty, and he exhaled wearily as he reached the top with his barbell. Sawamura was supposed to be his spotter, keeping an eye out in case he couldn't manage to complete his set. "Furuya, how many are you at?" Sawamura whispered, leaning down over his teammate. "17," Furuya grunted, lowering the barbell slowly to his chest. "You should only be doing 15!" "Yeah, well, I thought I could do 20." "You were supposed to be the one keeping track, Sawamura," Kuramochi pointed out. "Arghhh." The golden brown-eyed pitcher looked down at Furuya, determined to try and pay better attention. Sometimes he just couldn't help it, counting reps got boring very quickly, especially when Furuya usually ignored him when he tried to joke or complain. And then there was Miyuki Kazuya, walking around them, nothing but a distraction, looking incredibly sweaty and dear god how he admired the way it ran down his neck and created this shiny sheen on his face . . . "Furuya. Don't go over the rep number again. You don't want to overwork your muscles. You'll get injured," their captain contributed.  Sawamura helped Furuya set the barbell on its metal rung, and then he looked back to his catcher. Miyuki was considering him seriously, too.  Perhaps knowing that Sawamura would naturally want to lift more than Furuya had. "Don't try to go over your number, either, Sawamura." Then a sly smirk graced his features as he lied down on the bench, ready for his own set. Sawamura's eyes helplessly took in how Miyuki's body stretched along the length of the bench, legs parted, feet planted firmly on the ground. But Miyuki was still speaking to him, and he made an effort to listen to his weightlifting advice. "Unless . . . you plan on tiring yourself out tonight here in the weight room." Kuramochi snorted loudly, quickly turning attentive as Miyuki lifted the barbell. So neither of them saw the brunet pitcher turning suddenly self- conscious at the pointed remark, moving awkwardly to adjust the amount of weight on the barbell. Beside him, Furuya wiped his face with a towel, his face slowly going back to its normal creamy hue. He most likely hadn't overheard the last of what Miyuki said, his cool blue-gray eyes fixed on a certain bubblegum pink head of hair across the room. The training room slowly emptied out as the players finished their exercise menu. Sawamura eventually found himself just standing in place in front of the showerhead, too tired at the moment to move. The warm water fell onto his upturned face, cascading down his chest and legs. Almost robotically, he reached for shampoo, spreading a liberal amount onto his palm and then working it through his hair. Furuya and Haruichi were somewhere close by, absorbed in their own cleaning routine, most likely just as tired as he was. He was just changing into clean clothes when he heard Kuramochi's cackle announcing his presence before he actually appeared. That meant Miyuki was most likely nearby, too. Sawamura slipped a blue t-shirt on, no longer tired at all. A sort of exhilarated anticipation had begun to light up inside of him, like sparklers against the night sky. And he knew exactly why. Sawamura headed towards the locker room's entrance, passing first by Zono and then Kuramochi. The shortstop playfully snapped a towel at him as he passed by, but missed. Sawamura glared triumphantly at his roommate, trying to think of new ways to get him back for his antics. Last came Miyuki, sweat still visible on his body, but eyes bright. At the sight of Sawamura, Miyuki stopped in the pitcher's path, a warm hand touching his shoulder. "Hey," he said quietly, brown eyes searching the room around them. They were alone for the moment, Kuramochi's loud voice carrying over the banks of lockers, a few rows away now. Seeing that nobody was nearby, Miyuki looked back to Sawamura and smiled warmly. "Tonight?" The brunet pitcher nodded, his breathing picking up, fingers tingling with the want to start now. Sweat or no sweat. Miyuki saw it all over his face, the way his lips were slightly parted and how he could hear every individual exhalation, the way those golden-brown eyes fixated on Miyuki's curved lips. Sawamura took a step closer to his boyfriend, tangling his fingers in Miyuki's sweat-dampened shirt, moving forward to kiss him softly on the corner of his mouth. "Yes. Tonight." The catcher gently loosened Sawamura's hand from his shirt, lacing their fingers together. "I'll see you soon, then." Sawamura nodded, swallowing heavily. "Yeah."   ===============================================================================   Kuramochi Youichi, champion extraordinaire (or at least amongst the Seidou players) of video games, had arranged a video game soiree for Friday night. He had told their table at lunch about it earlier that day, mentioning that everyone should bring their Nintendo 3DS and games to exchange and he would bring his PS4. Maezono had chimed in then, explaining how he was hosting it in his room ("He's got a huge barrel of cheese balls," Kuramochi had whispered to Sawamura, eyebrows waggling excitedly). It looked like most of their table was interested, offering to bring snacks or other games. Even Haruichi had been excited, his enthusiasm enough to convince a drowsy Furuya to attend. Sawamura had then looked at Miyuki, seated across the table from him, to find that the catcher was already looking at him meaningfully, a question apparent in the way he raised his eyebrows. The pitcher had grinned, answering the unspoken question. They had been waiting some time for this, an extended amount of time alone in one of their rooms where they could continue the intimate side of their relationship. But now the pitcher watched as Kuramochi dangled his feet off the side of his top bunk, humming to himself as he fiddled with his phone. The shortstop had loitered around their room after coming back from his shower, one minute searching frantically for something in his backpack and the next, throwing dirty socks in the general direction of his hamper. Sawamura checked the time. 7:58 pm. Miyuki would be here any minute, and he wanted a few minutes alone before he arrived in order to calm himself. But Kuramochi didn't look like he was getting ready to leave anytime soon. "Ummmm, Mochi?" Sawamura began slowly, trying to figure out how to word it casually and without revealing his true motives, "Aren't you going to Zono's? For that video game thing?" Kuramochi's feet stilled against their bed frame. The video he was watching on his phone was suddenly muted or minimized. "Whyyyyy?" he asked quietly with a lilt at the end. If Sawamura hadn't been too focused on watching out for texts from Miyuki or considering what tonight might bring, then he might've picked up on the dangerous note in Kuramochi's voice. "Ermmm. Well it starts at 8, right? And I kind of just wanted to relax, so I don't think I'll be going tonight. Yeah, so. Sorry," he finished lamely, taking the time to sniff himself. Had he put on deoderant? Yes, he sure had. And then that made him think of how much he liked Miyuki's natural scent, and how the catcher's skin tasted under his curious tongue. Sawamura's phone vibrated then, and he eagerly unlocked it when he saw it was from Miyuki. So the sudden creaking sound of bedsprings didn't register, nor did the sound of Kuramochi dropping to the floor near the side of the bunk beds. See you in a few. The brunet felt the stirrings of heat began to pool into his limbs slowly, like cake batter poured into a waiting pan. He remained gazing at the text on his phone, Miyuki's words becoming a mantra. See you in a few see you in a few see you in a few. It was really happening, it was going to happen, soon Miyuki would be here and he would give Sawamura that look, the one that meant he wanted to keep kissing and touching and exploring Sawamura further. . . and Sawamura wanted him to keep going. Suddenly his ankles were grasped, and the pitcher looked up to see a gleeful Kuramochi pulling him off the bed by his legs, and he narrowly missed hitting his head on the wooden frame of his bed. "What are you up to, eh? I can tell you're plotting something! You can't hide anything from me!" "Ahhhhh!" Sawamura yelped as his butt hit the floor. He had plenty of experience getting in wrestling tussles with Kuramochi, and he knew well and good what would make his defeat easiest. But he had no intention of letting his roommate lord another victory over his head. He had tried a few things in the past, pulling at his own ankles in an attempt to free them, twisting his body like a snake to try and confuse Mochi. But those proved time and time again to be futile exercises, only serving to bring a loss sooner rather than later. So this time, he watched keenly as Kuramochi quickly considered his options, and the sudden gleam in the shortshop's eye was the only hint that Sawamura had that he was ready to make his move. Sure enough, Kuramochi suddenly threw his legs to the side, trying to get Sawamura off balance and onto one side so that he could gain an opening to eventutally get him on his belly. Then it would be game over for sure. As the shortstop fell forward, Sawamura darted a hand out, poking Kuramochi in his side. A high-pitched noise, sounding suspiciously like a giggle, escaped from Kuramochi's mouth. He backed up to the side of the bed, eyeing Sawamura warily. "Hey! You--you cheated!" Kuramochi exclaimed, pointing an accusatory finger at Sawamura, as the pitcher scrambled to his feet. "Oh no I didn't," Sawamura returned indignantly, eyes narrowed like a lioness. He began to circle Kuramochi, trying to find an opening. "I'm just making use of my weapons." "NO! Wait! This isn't fair!" Kuramochi held his hands out in front of him supplicatingly, trying to deter Sawamura from further action. The pitcher leaned back his head and laughed evilly. "Not fair? Not FAIR?? How do you explain the last year and a half of my life? Huh??" And with that, he darted forward, tickling Kuramochi's side. "Hey! HEHH HEHHH! Stop! AGHHH! Ok, I'll say it. Sawamura, I give! You win!" There was rapping at their door, and Miyuki Kazuya entered. He looked first at Kuramochi, looking terrified, and then to Sawamura, who was smirking at his prey. "Am I interrupting something?" "No! Thank god, Miyuki." With that Kuramochi edged himself away slowly from Sawmura, and then, once out of striking distance, hurriedly started to grab a handful of games. Miyuki watched this in amusement, reaching up to grab Kuramochi's phone from his bed, and then handing it over to his friend. Now becoming settled and away from danger, Kuramochi eyed his captain and then turned to glare at Sawamura. "I get it now. Look. Just don't . . . not on my bed, okay?" And with that, he was gone.   ===============================================================================   Miyuki remembered fondly how he and Sawamura got together. It was somewhere near the end of his second year that he really began to notice the energetic pitcher, coming into his own. He had noticed right away on day one, of course, that Sawamura was gorgeous. In a blistering, shimmering, heated kind of way. But Miyuki began to feel a sort of anchoring in the spring, when everything began to change. Including the way he looked at Sawamura, beginning to see him in a new light. Admiring him not just for his spirited beauty but also everything else that made him who he was. Like his fearlessness on the diamond, and how he would stare down base runners in such a way that they would quake under his glare. His tenacity at perfecting new pitches. How time after time he would demand "just ten more pitches!" and Miyuki could see the light of determination in his eyes despite how tired his body must have been. And the pitcher seemed to notice his lingering stare in return, eyeing him back just as intently, eyes like twin flames of heat. One day in April, after a long and engaging practice match, Miyuki had dropped heavily into a seat next to Sawamura on their bus. He leaned his head back, weary from the day's events, but he knew there were several pitching issues that he had to address with Sawamura. Which he knew he wouldn't want to hear about. Rotating his head around a few times to relax, he had finally looked sideways at the pitcher, beginning to speak. "I wanted--" But then all he saw was a searing set of golden-brown eyes fixed on his, lips bearing down on him. And then they were kissing right there on the team bus as it traveled back towards Seidou. Miyuki was fairly certain that both Haruichi and Furuya saw this happen, for they were sitting in the seats across the aisle from them. But Miyuki hadn't cared. Because all of the attraction that had been building up for a long time now had finally spilled forward, coating them together in the same vibrant colors. Sawamura was all warmth and want and intensity, eagerness seen in the way his hand grabbed onto Miyuki's shoulder and hung on tightly as if he never planned on letting go. His lips moved against the catcher's as if they had belonged there for ages, pressing hard against him, urgent and needy. Their teeth knocked together at one point, and they even awkwardly tried to move their head in the same direction when switching positions, but it didn't matter. Because Sawamura Eijun had kissed him. Miyuki caught the faint taste of sour apple gum from Sawamura's mouth, and from that day on, he would always love that taste. When they parted some time later, Miyuki had looked at Sawamura in wonder. "I wasn't sure if you liked guys," he said with a breath of a laugh, still amazed that this beautiful boy had taken the initiative and had orchestrated their first kiss. Sawamura shrugged, his mouth curved in a wide smile, eyes not able to look away from Miyuki. "I don't really know about that. I just know that I like you. A lot." It was so simple, when you analyzed it like that. Sawamura wasn't a mass of complications. He was never going to be the type for deep self-reflection, beating himself up repeatedly for something he could have done better. He did things, and he would work at it until he did it well. And the same held true with how he regarded Miyuki. There was no second-guessing himself.  And it was something that Miyuki had come to admire about the young pitcher. His brazen self-confidence. His inability to hold back when he wanted something. His sincere honesty. After months now of dating, Sawamura and Miyuki had talked about sex. They had done a lot of intimate actions already, hands and mouths fully exploring each other. Together, the two of them had accumulated hours of tracing the other's facial structure, kissing trails down their neck, tonguing the inside of a warm mouth. Sawamura had found out that Miyuki responded to being bitten lightly pretty much anywhere, and he took full advantage of that. They would be making out heavily, hands wandering, and then Sawamura would surprise him by starting a line of slow kisses on his chest, only to feel the sharp edge of the pitcher's teeth sink into him. Miyuki would begin to writhe a little, groaning into the space between them. The catcher, on the other hand, had found out that Sawamura seemed to be into the idea of restraint. Though Sawamura was not good at holding back himself when he needed to in mostly any other way, when Miyuki held his boyfriend's joined wrists on the pillow above his head, Sawamura would start pushing his hips into Miyuki's with greater fervor, and there was no mistaking his full arousal then. Or when Miyuki would teasingly hold Sawamura's eager hips down, a low whine would escape from the pitcher's mouth, but he did nothing to push Miyuki off of him. So Miyuki would continue to tantalize, taking Sawamura's hard cock out of his pants and offering up a few light sucks, all the while holding down those eager hips. He would move on to alternate that with a few swipes of his tongue to Sawamura's slit--that had gotten the pitcher to pant heavily, moaning Miyuki's name, hips almost trembling under his firm grasp. All in all, there had been plenty of touching, licking, grasping, kneading. Yet it had all been with their clothes on, resorting to pushing up t-shirts and unbuttoning pants. But now they were at the point where both of them wanted more, to give themselves up completely to the other. One night, while Kuramochi snored loudly on his bed above them, they had researched ways and positions for sex. Sawamura had reddened at a few, even completely exiting out of a few pages. There were just some positions where he could not picture himself contouring his body in this way or that. But Miyuki had paid special attention to the rudimentaries--preparation that he would need to perform, making sure his partner was comfortable. They didn't really have a set date for their first time together, their first time with anyone. But the longer they put it off, the more intense their touches became. The deeper their kisses got, the more desperately they pushed up against each other. Even during practice, the air between them seemed hotter, ripe with desire. So Sawamura, feeling the potency continue to grow each day, had taken it upon himself to visit the drugstore the previous weekend. He had pounced triumphantly onto Miyuki's bed when he returned, removing a smuggled plastic bag from underneath his hoodie. "I did it!" "Did what?" Miyuki smiled at his boyfriend's beaming expression, knowing there was no coming back from the depth of feelings he felt for the pitcher. He briefly wondered if it were at all humanly possible for someone to adore someone more than he did Sawamura Eijun. Sawamura looked around warily, even though he already knew they were alone in Miyuki's room. "I got . . . the condoms," he said in a stage whisper, leaning forward and upending the plastic bag so that his purchase fell onto the cotton comforter. Miyuki bit his lip as he saw the box. He would not laugh. Sawamura had tried. "Eijun." "Yeah?" Sawamura was now bouncing up and down lightly on the bed, thrilled with himself. "I'm not so sure that those will . . . work." Sawamura frowned. "Why not?" "Um well . . . uh . . . I'm thinking that 'extra large' is a bit too . . . large." "But Miyuki, either way, it'll still fit, right? And besides, I've seen it. It's pretty large, you know." The catcher smiled indulgently. He spent a couple minutes explaining just why those particular condoms would make things difficult. Sawamura's eyes widened with this new information, his mouth forming an "o" as he thought things over. "Hmm," Sawamura concluded, shrugging. "Maybe I'll go back in a few days, then, and buy a different kind." Miyuki Kazuya loved Sawamura Eijun tremendously. There was never any complicated back and forth between them, or petty jealousies. Because Sawamura always said what was on his mind, 100% of the time, not feeling the need to censor his thoughts. And he never lied. To know someone of such pure spirit was completely eye-opening for the catcher, having never really encountered someone like Sawamura before. Because for Miyuki, his position necessitated planning, strategy, and at times, deception on the field. Being a catcher played to his natural strengths and abilities. So to see someone like Sawamura who loved him completely and without reservations was incredibly refreshing. The pitcher never seemed to stop and consider, "Why do I care for this guy so much?" Because to Sawamura, it didn't matter. On some days, he still found it hard to believe that the pitcher could put up with his witty sarcasm and his predisposition to overthink things. Yet Sawamura endured, though there were days they would playfully squabble on and off the field. But maybe, in a case such as this, Miyuki would insist on making the next purchase at the drugstore. To kind of limit the possibility of things going awry later on. He had done his own research on what they would need, including reading reviews on various condoms and lubricants. If he gave in to Sawamura going back for different products, who knows what he would come back with. Maybe something flavored this time. Miyuki wasn't quite ready for that. "It's my turn," Miyuki had said, lacing his fingers through Sawamura's firmly, "I have to pick up some other things, anyways." Sawamura had relented, hmming happily as their lips joined together for the first time of many that particular night. Both of them were content in the knowledge that soon they would be joined in other ways, as well. ***** Chapter 2 ***** Chapter Summary Sawamura and Miyuki have sex. :) Chapter Notes SO CHALLENGING TO WRITEEEEEE! I can't look at this anymore! But I hope you enjoy it! *presses 'post' and runs away* See the end of the chapter for more notes After Kuramochi left, silence descended into the room. Sawamura was casually leaning against the bunk bed frame, his golden-brown eyes fixed thoughtfully on Miyuki. But the catcher wasn't looking at him, now that they were alone. Instead, he chose to take his time with locking the door and then removing his shoes and hoodie. Something seemed to be weighing on his mind. Sawamura saw this, having learned to read Miyuki by now, the subtleties and nuances of his mannerisms that revealed the feelings he often tried to keep tucked away. "Hey," Sawamura said softly, stepping towards Miyuki. "Everything okay?" He laid a hand on the catcher's shoulder, letting his hand rub gently down the length of his arm. Miyuki turned then, a small smile on his face. "Yeah. Yes. I am okay." He shoved his hands into the pockets of his jeans. Sawamura looked at him doubtfully, considering. "Kazuya? Are you having second thoughts? Because you know we don't have to do this--" "No! No." Miyuki sighed, now running a hand through his hair. "I definitely want to do this. I've been thinking about it a lot." He smiled ruefully, watching as Sawamura's cheeks reddened slightly at the thought of Miyuki's mind wandering to visions of the two of them kissing and touching. And then moving beyond that. "Then what is it?" Sawamura linked their fingers together, taking a step closer, invading Miyuki's space. "I just . . . I don't want to hurt you. Or do it wrong. I would absolutely hate that, and maybe you would never want me to touch you like that again--" the words came out in a sudden tumble, and Sawamura wondered if Miyuki had been carrying this weight around with him all week. "Whoa whoa whoa!" Sawamura leaned in even closer to Miyuki, a tender sort of protectiveness rising in him at seeing the worry clearly written all over his boyfriend's face. This was the side of Miyuki that people often didn't get to see--his vulnerabilities on display. When the catcher felt worries bog him down, he often internalized the issue, mulling it over in his mind rather than voice his thoughts to a friend or teammate. Not for the first time, he wished that Miyuki would tell him sooner and more often when something was bothering him, so that he could help. Yet it was easier said than done--something that was effortless to Sawamura was not the same to Miyuki. But Sawamura, with his bright nature and innate affections, had dug himself a place in Miyuki's heart. And once comfortably settled, there was no way to force him out. So over time, Miyuki had come to see this, slowly beginning to share his concerns with the pitcher, trusting him with what was stressing him. "First off, you're not going to hurt me." "How can you be so sure?" Miyuki asked quietly, his voice almost a croak. His eyes were hidden, head inclined down and the fall of his chestnut hair between the two of them. "Because you worry more than anybody I've ever known," Sawamura said firmly, squeezing his boyfriend's hand. "You can't fall asleep sometimes because you're too busy thinking of new plays and formations and pitches. And with this, I'm sure, absolutely sure, you've considered everything. Read up on it. It's going to be fine." Miyuki nodded, his light brown eyes now meeting Sawamura's, a cautious hope brightening them . "And second," Sawamura continued, a playful smile on his face but voice a little deeper, "there's nothing you can do that would ever make me not want you to touch me. Nothing." The catcher breathed out slowly, reassured. It was amazing to him that so many people, himself included at one point, might simply dismiss Sawamura as being oblivious to the world around him. Yet here Sawamura was, gently rubbing lotion on the figurative sunburn that was Miyuki's worries. A soothing presence. Knowing that something was wrong with him and knowing instinctively how to make it better. How could he have so completely misjudged him so many, many months ago? Sawamura watched as Miyuki breathed out heavily once more. And then he saw it, the qualities coming out in Miyuki that made him such a wonderful and strong catcher and captain. He was now gazing at Sawamura differently, eyes focused. Worries vanishing and gazing straight ahead on to what was important. In this case, and in a lot of cases, it was Sawamura. As the moment progressed, Miyuki's eyes changed, going dark. Becoming heated. Like the consistent and strong heat of a bonfire, drawing in those that coveted its warmth. And then he was slowly pulling a very willing Sawamura to him firmly by the hips, joining their lips together. Kissing Sawamura was always something special to Miyuki, because Sawamura always put all of his feelings behind it. When he was excited and still feeling a rush of energy after a game, he would kiss Miyuki back with a spirited warmth, their lips moving quickly against each other. Not holding back. When Sawamura came to Miyuki's room after school and they didn't have practice, they would kiss slow and sweet, relaxation in the way their lower limbs intertwined together. Fitting perfectly together like two puzzle pieces. When Miyuki explained to Sawamura why a pitch was too high or too outside and what he could do to remedy that, Sawamura would hmph and look out the bus window. He would hear "Miyuki Kazuya" being muttered in an undertone. Then a minute later Sawamura would turn and peck him softly on the cheek. His own cheeks flushed with the gesture but still pretending to act stubborn. Because he was not able to remain upset at Miyuki for longer than the span of a few minutes. Or when they would return to the dorms after a date, they wouldn't be ready to go their separate ways, and they would kiss just outside of one of their rooms. And it would be all heat, their fingers traveling under the other's shirt and grasping desperately onto the skin there, leaving them both panting against each other's mouths and wanting more. Their current kissing was like the last kind, deep and hard. Yet at the same time it was somewhat different. They didn't have the impending threat of unwanted spectators suddenly seeing them making out heavily, forcing them to worry. Or quickly separate at the sound of a nearby door suddenly opening. Like the time that Okumura had opened his and Miyuki's dorm room door, frowning unhappily at the sight of Miyuki and Sawamura intensely rubbing up against each other. Miyuki had wondered after that day . . . if the other catcher harbored secret feelings for Sawamura.  But then he figured it didn't matter.  Because Sawamura wanted Miyuki, was the one kissing the captain soundly.  The knowledge of where they both wanted this to lead made each kiss that much more meaningful, more intense. Miyuki's hands were now snaking down Sawamura's back unhurriedly, his fingers digging into his well-formed posterior. Sometimes Miyuki caught himself unabashedly staring at Sawamura's ass as the energetic pitcher led the way onto the field, and it would earn him an elbow and an eye roll from Kuramochi. He definitely had some sort of . . . thing . . . for Sawamura's ass, not able to hold back from sliding his palm against it when nobody was looking, earning him a fiery gaze from his boyfriend. He alternated between pressing his palms down onto the soft fabric of his boyfriend's gray lounge pants and applying pressure with his fingertips, just under the curve of his ass. The force of it brought Sawamura even closer to Miyuki's body, nothing separating their chests from rubbing against each other as they kissed passionately. Sawamura responded to this new development with a small groan, his tongue pressing hard, forcefully, into Miyuki's mouth. When he found the catcher's tongue, he pushed against it, showing that he too could be just as demanding with what he liked and wanted. He pulled back a moment after that, taking Miyuki's bottom lip into his mouth, sucking lightly on it. It did wonderfully tingly things to Miyuki's body, the way Sawamura was so good with his tongue, his mouth. And he wanted more. They continued kissing deeply, lips parting for each other, each making small noises of contentment. Miyuki decided to move things forward. He inserted a thigh between both of Sawamura's, feeling the beginning of an arousal there. When he began to press into his boyfriend, this time Sawamura leaned his head back, his golden-brown eyes molten as he stared at Miyuki. Miyuki returned his heated gaze, pressing into him again slowly, exacting more pressure this time, his hands still pressing into Sawamura's ass. The pitcher exhaled shakily, his eyes almost closing. But then he suddenly moved forward with deliberation. One hand was suddenly yanking on Miyuki's brown hair while Sawamura's teeth sank lightly into the exposed skin at the base of his neck. This time it was Miyuki groaning, enjoying the sensation of Sawamura latching on to him and feeling the sharpness of teeth biting into him. He felt his chest expanding with the force of his pleasure as Sawamura began to suck at his chosen spot, his beautiful pitching fingers maintaining a good grip in Miyuki's chestnut hair. Sawamura finally detached himself from Miyuki's neck, licking at the bruise that was just beginning to bloom under skin that was no longer pale. As if he were taking in the last remains of cake batter on his tongue, tasting a delectable sweetness. Feeling Sawamura begin to press his own thigh into him now in response, Miyuki abruptly lifted him from the back of his thighs, setting him on a nearby dresser. Sawamura settled on the edge with a soft "oomph" and then they were reaching for each other again, the pitcher's thighs widening enough to bring Miyuki closer. They kissed lightly now, their tempo gradually slowing but needy hands roaming all over. First on the back of a neck or fingers yanking lightly on the ends of hair. Heat gathered between them and boiled over, both of them desiring more. Sawamura was the first to pull back, tugging on the bottom of Miyuki's t-shirt. "What is it?" Miyuki asked, kissing Sawamura's forehead lightly, reaching up a hand to push brown hair away from golden-brown eyes. Goddamn, he's beautiful, Miyuki thought. "I want to take this off," Sawamura said staunchly, his statement accentuated with another tug. "Okay." As soon as the word was out of Miyuki's mouth, Sawamura's other hand joined the first, and then the cottony fabric was rising, exposing Miyuki's abdomen. From his seated position, Sawamura could not reach all the way up to take off the shirt, and it got momentarily caught on Miyuki's head, his glasses going askew. Normally such an event would have Sawamura laughing loudly. A chuckle even rose in his throat but then abruptly it was gone. Because the pitcher's golden-brown eyes had gone wide at the sight of a now shirtless Miyuki, breath coming slightly faster now at the fact that they hadn't quite gone this far yet. A desk lamp on the dresser was lighting up the room in subdued tones of dull gold. Almost like the illuminative force of a few gathered candles. But on Miyuki, the light turned his normally pale chest a warm honey hue, and it captivated Sawamura Eijun as he gazed upon flawless skin. Sawamura raised his left hand slowly, placing it flat against the well-defined plane of Miyuki's abdomen. He held it there for a moment, feeling Miyuki push into his touch slightly. Wanting Sawamura to explore him just as badly as Sawamura wanted to touch him. Somewhat unsteadily, but with full resolution, Sawamura worked his hand slowly up and across Miyuki's chest, feeling the lean musculature under his palm. He stopped his wandering appendage directly over Miyuki's right nipple, feeling it harden under his touch. So he took it between two of his fingers, gently plucking at it. At this gesture, Miyuki pressed the rest of his body against Sawamura, the catcher's legs coming into contact with the wooden drawers of the dresser. Sawamura looked up at Miyuki. His normally brown eyes now looked amber in the light of the room, everything about the catcher becoming slightly warmer in Sawamura's eyes. As if it were no longer a cool fall night but a warm summer day. Sawamura didn't try to rationalize his physiological response to what he was currently looking at. How he suddenly wanted to slide off the dresser and have Miyuki hold him close. Because of course he had seen Miyuki shirtless before. Multiple times the catcher had changed in front of him and others in the locker room, even with most of the team present. Not to mention the handful of times, when alone with the catcher, that Sawamura had crawled on top of Miyuki, pushing his shirt up and eyeballing his lean physique. Leaving traces of saliva down his body as a result of over-eager kisses. But this was different. This was Miyuki in the light of the lamp, on full display in front of him. Incredibly beautiful with the angle of his strong jaw and the shape of his lips. The cut of his lean musculature, hard under Sawamura's wandering and rough fingertips. This was Miyuki looking at him with those eyes again, all heat and desire. Never wavering. Strong with purpose. There was suddenly a lump in Sawamura's throat, and it seemed hard to breathe around it. Because the reality of what they were doing, what they were going to be doing shortly, hit home to him like a Miyuki Kazuya line drive home run to right-center field. It was almost staggering in its power, how hard it hit Sawamura then. Because he realized the gravity of the fact that . . .he was about to have sex with Miyuki Kazuya. It was with a clear sense of conviction and a coiled heat in his lower abdomen that Sawamura Eijun reached for Miyuki in that moment. He wanted this, and he wanted it now. His arms winded around angular hips, face tilting up, reaching determinedly for Miyuki's smooth lips. The pitcher peppered light kisses along Miyuki's jaw, trailing down his neck. Pulling Miyuki closer, Sawamura mouthed a hard nipple, rolling it around with the tip of his tongue. "You're teasing me," Miyuki whispered, his own hands gripping at Sawamura's hips. Sawamura hmmed in apparent agreement, taking the hard flesh into his mouth, sucking at it. There was the sound of Miyuki exhaling sharply, fingers almost a vise on Samura's sides. "Fuck," Miyuki breathed out shakily. He could hear Sawamura's mouth working eagerly on his chest, an absurdly erotic suckling sound. The catcher felt his cock press uncomfortably hard against the front of his jeans, Sawamura's fearless attentions making it so. And he felt an uncontrollable urge to lift his boyfriend off of the dresser and toss him on his bed, taking his own turn at pleasuring him. But Sawamura interrupted that thought as his hands began working at Miyuki's belt. He made quick work of the black leather and metal buckle, letting both ends hang freely. Slowly, and with a bite that was almost painful, Sawamura detached himself from Miyuki's chest. With a question in his eyes, he peered at Miyuki from behind strands of unruly brown hair. "Can I?" he asked, hands lightly touching the top of Miyuki's jeans, ready to work at the button as soon as he was given the go-ahead. The way they explored each other had often been like this. At first a meeting of their lips, energy quickly escalating between them like a churning sea, waves frothy with the force of a storm. But then Sawamura was usually the one to branch out first, wanting to try something new. Like straddling Miyuki and working his hips into him. Or kissing Miyuki in a sensitive place, letting his lips linger over his goosebumped skin. He was always fearless, going after he wanted. But making sure all the time that Miyuki was comfortable with it. Though there had never been a time that Miyuki had disliked something Sawamura had tried, not even close. But after a while Miyuki would be the one rolling Sawamura on his back, holding him down by his biceps. Or the one working a hand into Sawamura's boxers to the hard cock that awaited him there. There was always a natural back and forth with their physical interaction, a balance of give and receive. So while Sawamura might be the one initially pushing things forward, Miyuki was sure to be the one to continue their terminal velocity. "Yes," Miyuki breathed out, quite eager himself to continue. Sawamura smiled slowly then, keeping his eyes fixed on Miyuki's face as he unbuttoned the jeans. With the smallest amount of friction, Sawamura pushed against the fabric, letting gravity take the jeans to the floor. They were now wading even farther into unchartered territory, having never removed a shirt or pants before in front of each other like this. Miyuki knew it, and Sawamura seemed to know it too, based on the redness gathering on his cheeks. For a moment, the pitcher kept his gaze steady on Miyuki's face. But then Sawamura slowly lowered his eyes, rough hands clasped onto Miyuki's hips. Sawamura Eijun breathed out slowly, heat flowing steadily through his body at the sight of Miyuki's erection. It protruded outward from Miyuki's groin, jutting into the wide gap between Sawamura's thighs. Miyuki's dark red boxer briefs didn't hide the damp spot on the fabric, the beginnings of pre-come gathering. With a firm hand, Sawamura placed his palm onto Miyuki's hard cock, pressing it slightly back towards the catcher's leanly muscles thighs. Miyuki moaned, the end of which escaped from his mouth like the emission of gas from a volcano. Just beginning to quake under the surface, signs of an impending eruption. "Eijun . . . " Miyuki murmured, eyes almost sliding closed. "That feels so . . . so . . . good. You make me feel good." Hearing Miyuki's praise, and eager to continue, Sawamura slid his palm up and down the length of Miyuki's housed erection, touching his lips lightly to Miyuki's. He felt a deep sense of sensual satisfaction at hearing another soft moan emanate from the depths of Miyuki's throat, and it made him harder. No longer could he hide his own arousal from the catcher, nor did he want to. He slid off of the dresser, Miyuki's hands steadying him. "I want to see you without these on," Sawamura murmured into Miyuki's ear, now tugging on his boyfriend's boxer briefs. As always, he spoke forthrightly about what he wanted, not holding back. "Take off your shirt, first." Without a moment's hesitation, Sawamura shed his hot skin of its restrictive t- shirt, letting it drop carelessly to the floor next to Miyuki's discarded jeans. Miyuki's amber eyes fixed on Sawamaura's chest, hands curling under his boyfriend's arms. Having created a hold of sorts, Miyuki's lips dipped down to the pitcher's pale skin, pressing fleeting kisses against the warm flesh. "Unghhh, Miyuki . . . " Sawamura moaned, shifting in his arms. And now it was Miyuki's turn to explore Sawamura's upper body, breath hot on already heated skin. The catcher pressed himself flush against Sawamura, their twin hard ons rubbing against each other in a immeasurably pleasing way. He rained kissed down the length of Sawamura's neck, bringing the skin in gently between his lips before moving back up. The taste of Sawamura's skin was somehow unique on his tongue, and he couldn't help but crave more of it. Their kissing took on a more feverish quality, mouths moving quickly against each other. They hadn't quite experienced kissing like this before, always reining it in before it approached this kind of fervor. But now there wasn't anything to hold them back, so both of their mouths were open as their lips met again and again, tongues touching. Miyuki relished each of Sawamura's moans, which seemed to be growing in number and volume. Again, the catcher found himself appreciating the way that Sawamura never held back who he was, fearlessly plowing ahead through each of life's challenges . . . and rewards. Miyuki couldn't help it any longer, finding that his hips, his body, had a mind of its own. His lower body began moving forward in a slow rhythym into Sawamura's hand, which still firmly encased his aroused cock. Sawamura, being the bold and beautiful boy that he always was, slid his hand up and then into Miyuki's boxer briefs. He firmly gripped Miyuki's cock, beginning to slowly stroke him up and down, tonguing into his mouth ardently. The sensation of Sawamura's hand on him was almost too much. Miyuki found his fingers digging into Sawamura's shoulders without conscious thought. "Come--come here," Miyuki mumbled, though Sawamura was as close as he possibly could get. Yet that didn't stop Miyuki from trying to pull him closer. The catcher's hands fell in front of Sawamura's body, lightly tugging on the drawstring of his pajama pants. A second was all it took to untie them, and then he was pulling them down gently. And then both of them were just as unclothed as the other, only their underwear remaining to be taken off. Without even saying a word, their lips rejoined, pressing hard against each other once more. Miyuki felt the warmth of Sawamura's bare chest against his, their legs intertwined below. He could feel Sawamura's rigid cock against his, rubbing up against his own as they kissed. And then Miyuki started rocking his hips into Sawamura's. The dresser behind the pitcher hit the wall with a scraping cracking noise as the force of his hip movement pushed Sawamura back against the piece of furniture. They began to rut into each other in earnest now, breath heavy as they kissed. Moans now littered the air with each thrust against each other. His blood burning through the paths that were his veins, Miyuki reached into Sawamura's boxers. He got a good grip on his hard cock, thumbing at the wet slit. In front of him, Sawamura's breath stuttered. Miyuki smiled into the next kiss, working his hand in a firm grip down to the shaft. The insistent movement of his wrist forced the fabric of the boxers lower on Sawamura's hips. With their legs interwined and bodies as close as they could get, Miyuki pulled slightly at his own boxer briefs, baring his hard cock. He wrapped his hand around their erections, slowly stroking them together. A keening whine escaped from Sawamura's mouth, his short fingernails raking down Miyuki's bare back. The all-encompassing feeling of Miyuki stroking both of their cocks together was slowly unraveling Sawamura's composure. They weren't even kissing anymore, their open mouths hovering a couple of inches apart. The pitcher began to work his hips up and into Miyuki's grip, his breath a warm pant on Miyuki's face. It was no less a momentous feeling for Miyuki who had to lean his forehead against Sawamura's, feeling his toes curl into the carpet. It felt oh so fucking good. "Unghh . . . Kazuya . . ." Sawamura mumbled some time later, all ten fingers finding different places on Miyuki's back to bear down on. He felt Miyuki's spare arm wind around his back, holding him close. Protective in their intimate embrace. "What--what is it, Eijun?" "I want to . . .I want . . . " "Hmmm, what is it baby?" Eijun shivered. Miyuki had never called him that before, and the sound of the catcher's low voice made him tremble. It was so deep, so primal in its need and attentiveness that Sawamura forgot what he was trying to ask for a minute. "Eijun." Miyuki stroked their cocks together in an agonizingly slow rhythym. He moved his lips to Sawamura's shoulder, pressing down for a brief moment before speaking. "What is it you want?" Sawamura had no voice to answer with. So he placed both palms on Miyuki's chest, pushing against him slightly. Miyuki moved back half a step, hand trying to maintain its grip on Sawamura's dick, loath to part with it. But then he saw that Sawamura was kneeling in front of him, his eyes now scorchingly hot. The pitcher used one hand to pull Miyuki's boxer briefs down, casting them aside after the catcher stepped out of them. Trying in vain to compose himself, Sawamura raised himself on his knees slightly to be at eye level with Miyuki's flushed cock. And then the pitcher realized that Miyuki was completely naked in front of him for the very first time. The realization hit at him again, how far they were taking this. He gazed up at Miyuki for a short moment, seeing glowing amber eyes staring back at him, words insufficient to explain how they were feeling. And then Sawamura got a full look at Miyuki's body, the way his muscular shoulders gave way to developed biceps and the outline of muscles in his strong forearms. The pitcher swallowed heavily, eyes traveling down Miyuki's defined pectorals to his stomach. Sawamura had tongued the muscles there before, tracing a pattern around his abs, pausing to blow on the trail of saliva he had left behind. His golden-brown eyes almost, almost, became bashful as he considered the "v" shape that was the junction of Miyuki's thighs and abdomen. But he was beyond that, heated to a rolling boil. Without any apprehensions, Sawamura slid a warm palm up Miyuki's thigh, slightly squeezing at the muscle. And then he moved his head slowly forward, mouth tilting to take in Miyuki's cock between his parted lips. The pitcher heard a deep groan from above, but he kept his eyes fixed on the task at hand, wanting nothing more than to please his boyfriend. They had, of course, done this kind of thing before on a handful of occasions. So Sawamura knew how best to elicit a reaction from Miyuki. Which he began to do with teasing sucks at the head of Miyuki's cock. Sawamura felt his own clothed cock rubbing up against the fabric of his boxers and twitching as he tongued at Miyuki's slit. "Ah, god, Eijun," Miyuki groaned, a hand sliding through Sawamura's hair, combing between thick strands of hair. "Fuck." Sawamura saw Miyuki's thigh muscles flexing involuntarily and it motivated him even more to pleasure his boyfriend. Pursing his lips, he began to suck at the head harder now, then pulling lightly back on it eagerly. Miyuki's hand now clenched in his hair, his breath almost heaving as Sawamura worked on him. So the pitcher changed angles slightly, Miyuki's hard cock poking into the side of his mouth, encountering resistance as he worked it back and forth. "Oh, fuck." Miyuki's hips were now moving the slightest bit back and forth, fucking into the motion of Sawamura's mouth. He couldn't help it, so good did Sawamura's tight lips feel against him. Below, the pitcher was working over his cock like it was a succulent treat, too sweet to part with. And then the catcher watched wide-eyed as Sawamura worked his mouth deeper onto the length of his erection, sucking back on it enthusiastically. Fuck. If he didn't put a halt to it, he would come. And come soon. "Eijun." Miyuki stroked his boyfriend's flushed cheek, thumb gently sliding over the side of Sawamura's mouth. "Hmm?" The vibration worked its way through his cock, into the depths of his groin. FUCK. "I want you. On the bed." Sawamura hmmed again in acknowledgement of what Miyuki had said, but continued to work at his cock, tongue swirling slowly around the head. Miyuki pressed a firm hand onto his boyfriend's shoulder, moving back slowly. Sawamura was becoming too good at sucking his dick. He never thought it would be possible for him to think that. "Eijun, come here." Sawamura wiped at his mouth with the back of his arm, wiping off the saliva that had gathered during his enthusiastic endeavor. He grabbed onto the hand that Miyuki offered, rising to his feet. Without another word, the catcher pushed down on Sawamura's boxers, letting them fall to the ground. And then they were both fully naked, both sets of eyes considering each other's bare body, hands freely wandering. Miyuki wanted to grip at Sawamura's cock again, working him over at a quicker pace now, matching his own enthusiasm. But no. They had crafted this night together to move beyond that, in order to explore the depths of their relationship. So he breathed out slowly once, before tugging onto rough fingertips, pulling his boyfriend towards his own bed. The pitcher tumbled onto the top of his comforter, erect cock bobbing in front of him, striking his abdomen. Miyuki's breath caught for a moment, ready. So fucking ready. He had never wanted to act in so many different ways at once, and his thoughts spun around his head at the possibilities. He wanted to rub their cocks against each other again, wanted to engulf Sawamura's dick in his mouth and show the pitcher how much he loved giving him head too, wanted to lick him propietarily all over, fingers beginning to roam freely into his ass. He quickly retrieved a couple of items from the pockets of his long-discarded hoodie, setting them beside Sawamura on the bed. "Come here," Sawamura whined, hands extending out, wanting to reunite his body with Miyuki's. Miyuki slowly lowered himself onto Sawamura's bed, his body framing the pitcher's. Sawamura's breathing was labored, eyes wide as he caught Miyuki's gaze. Their legs became entangled, Miyuki's upper thigh pressing onto Sawamura's erection. It was all too much and not enough for both of them at the same time. Sawamura wrapped his arms around Miyuki with a sudden desperation. They began kissing again, both of their lower bodies pressing into each other, hot skin on hot skin. It was as if they knew what was coming, simultaneously welcoming it and not knowing how to proceed. Their soft moans filled the air around them once more. And it just wasn't enough. "Kaz--Kazuya," Sawmura groaned, his fingers pressing into the warm skin of Miyuki's lower back. "Please. I want you." Miyuki Kazuya pulled back at that moment, hearing the utter need in his boyfriend's voice. He felt the heat of arousal pumping through each part of his body, wanting and demanding more. But then he met Sawamura's gaze, his golden- brown eyes so warm and loving, full of trust. This boy--this completely beautiful boy. Sawamura Eijun. Miyuki cherished him, accepting him for any and all shortcomings he had. He wholeheartedly gave the younger boy his heart. Miyuki had come to care for Sawamura so much that he felt it deeply within himself, as if he was a planet orbiting the much brighter sun. So entwined into who he was that he could fight off the baser instincts of his body, to stop for a moment and revere each individual and unique aspect of his boyfriend. The tangible and intangible. He felt himself tremble on top of Sawamura at that heady rush of admiration and emotion. Somehow their hands became joined, fingers linked together. Miyuki's breathing slowed down. He leaned down, kissing Sawamura softly once, twice. And in those golden-brown eyes opposite him was held immeasurable amounts of intimacy and affection. It almost overwhelmed him at that moment, seeing how much Sawamura loved him back, that someone could come to hold him in such high esteem. He had known, of course, the extent of his own feelings for some time. But it hit home to him in that very moment just how much Sawamura Eijun had come to love him right back. The realization created a constricting sensation in his throat, burning at his nose. His eyes felt strange then, suddenly heavy and full. And then he realized that he was overcome for his emotions for Sawamura. What they were about to do together was momentous. It was not everyday that you gave your heart and body completely over to somehow else for safekeeping. The feeling knocked him over like the ocean at full tide. Sawamura's voice was tentative as he caressed Miyuki's cheek softly. "Kazuya? What is it? Are you . . . okay?" Mikyuki turned his head to gently kiss the wandering hand. "I just . . . love you . . . so much." There was an unusual huskiness to his voice as he said it, revealing the level of his feelings to Sawamura, how serious he was. Sawamura's eyes widened, and he touched Miyuki's cheek. "I love you too, Kazuya. You mean everything to me. You know that." Miyuki nodded, kissing his palm. He did not quite trust his voice in that moment. Sawamura was still eyeing him, features soft as he continued to caress Miyuki's cheek. "Kiss me," he commanded. Miyuki wanted nothing more than to do just that. So he leaned down again, touching his lips gently against Sawamura's, his mouth parting against equally eager lips. He felt his boyfriend deepen the intensity of the kiss, pressing hard against him and wrapping his arms around his neck. The heat began to grow between them again, Miyuki pressing his thigh down onto Sawamura's erection. The low whine that Sawamura let loose had Miyuki's hand reaching blindly around the bed in search of Sawamura's spare pillow. His hand closed around the end of the pillowcase, so Miyuki pulled back once again. "This, um . . ." he was sure he was blushing, "this should go under your hips." "Alright." Miyuki watched as Sawamura raised his body, pushing the pillow in place under his slender hips. The catcher's eyes stared a line down the length of Sawamura's body, taking note of the way his breath rose and fell steadily under the arc of his ribcage. Noticing that the pitcher had an "outie" for a bellybutton and it was entirely too precious to see. Eyes continuing their trek south, he felt lust for Sawamura flow through him at the sight of his erection, the tip of his hard cock wet and smeared with pre-come due to Miyuki's previous attentions. FUCK. Miyuki now blindly reached for the lubricant that he had already set beside Sawamura, so turned on by the sight of his fully hard cock that he was unable to look away. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Sawamura's fingers curling into his comforter. He breathed out deeply, slowly, flipping open the lid of the lube. And then he was applying it to his fingers, trying to calm himself down. He could do this, he would do this right. Some worry must have been apparent on his face, for Sawamura placed a hand on Miyuki's knee that was closest to him. "You're not going to hurt me," he whispered. Miyuki nodded, moving slightly so that he was now in-between Sawamura's knees. He gently pushed them further apart with his dry hand, then slowly inserted his pointer finger into Sawamura's entrance. The catcher felt his partner tense at the foreign sensation, brows knitting slightly. So Miyuki placed his free palm onto Sawamura's stomach. Gently, he massaged soothing circles onto his skin. And then he was pushing in farther, amazed by how tight Sawamura was just around one of his fingers, the warmth that surrounded his digit. He could only imagine what it would feel like on his cock. The catcher worked diligently in Sawamura for a moment, exploring him slowly. Sawamura moaned slightly on his back, fingers still curled into his comforter, keeping his warm eyes fixed on Miyuki the entire time. And then he was inserting a second lubricated finger, scissoring them gently inside. Sawamura began to pant at the sensation, jaw clenched. "Does it hurt?" Miyuki asked worriedly. "No--no. It feels . . . different. In a good way," Sawamura insisted between breaths. The pitcher placed his now sweaty palm on top of the one that Miyuki was still using to massage Sawamura's abdomen. "Keep--ah, that, yes that!" Miyuki had pushed farther into Sawamura, growing more daring at Sawamura's assurance that he was okay. Clearly, he had reached his boyfriend's prostate. Evident in the way that Sawamura was now working into his hand, fingernails curling into Miyuki's skin. "Hnghhh!" Sawamura's eyes were now closed, mouth gaping wide open as he worked his hips again and again into Miyuki's wandering fingers. "Kazuya, ahhh, nhhh!" Sawamura was now groaning heavily, his breath following no particular pattern. Miyuki had never seen his boyfriend come undone in such a way before, and he ached to be inside of Sawamura. He was so completely beautiful, the front of his hair now sweaty and slightly sticking to his forehead. Golden-brown eyes warm. Face clenched in pleasure. His back arching off the bed as he rutted into Miyuki's hand. The catcher moved his hand out from underneath Sawamura's, beginning to stroke at the pitcher's cock, hard in his grip. Slightly slippery from the amount of pre-come that had long since begun to leak out of the tip. "You're so beautiful," Miyuki murmured. Sawamura moaned deeply, eyes catching and holding Miyuki's. "I--I won't--I'll come soon if you keep doing that," Sawamura huffed out. "Please now. I want you in me." This time, Miyuki forced himself to look away. Otherwise, he was sure that he wouldn't be able to control himself, and just a few pulls on his own cock would have him coming all over himself and Sawamura. It was the last thing he wanted. He pulled back his previously occupied fingers, his other hand reaching for the condom. Digits trembling and still slick with lube, he ripped open the package. And then the rubber was in-between his fingers. Carefully, he slipped on the condom, making sure to unroll it all the way down. More lube was squirted onto his fingers, and he spread it down the length of his covered cock. "C'mere," Sawamura whispered, reaching for Miyuki impatiently. "Kiss me first." Miyuki leaned over Sawamura, palms down on the comforter as he joined his lips to his boyfriend's. Their kiss was achingly slow, lips parting for each other. He felt his cock brush up against Sawamura's, and he felt himself eager to continue what they had started. So Miyuki worked his way down, leaving light kisses on the surface of Sawamura's skin. He was between the pitcher's thighs again, admiring the leanly muscled legs. Legs that he had seen from almost every angle possible, legs that he could spend hours massaging, admiring, worshipping. Slowly, he guided his cock towards Sawamura's entrance, beginning to push in oh so carefully. Sawamura tensed up below him momentarily, but then he was breathing out, relaxing his muscles. The pitcher reached for Miyuki's free hand, needing the attachment. A familiar and loving gesture in the middle of something that was wholly unprecedented for either of them. Miyuki pulled out and then pushed himself further in, his hips repeating the movement until he was all the way in. "Eijun . . . " Miyuki said brokenly, trying not to move until Sawamura was ready. He was trembling again fromt he effort it took to hold back. "Oh god, you feel so good. I love you, Eijun I love you." "Kazuya . . .mmmm . . . I love you too," Sawamura said softly, hand gripping Miyuki's tightly. "Move. You've got to move now." Miyuki began to rock his hips back and forth steadily, trying his best to gauge whether or not Sawamura was uncomfortable or not. The pitcher had wrapped his legs around Miyuki at some point, and he cradled the backs of Sawamura's knees, now feeling himself come undone. There were so many sensations to feel all at once, it was almost blinding. There was the sound of their panting in the air between them as Miyuki continued to thrust into Sawamura. The pitcher's slack face as he relaxed his lean body, letting Miyuki initially lead the way. The smell of their sweat, a thin sheen shining on the surface of their skin. The taste of warm lips against each other. But for Miyuki, the most prevalent sensation was the feel of his cock buried deep inside of Sawamura, his ass tight and hot around him. Sawamura's legs started to slip from around Miyuki's rhythmically thrusting hips. Both of them were sweaty and their skin slippery from their continued physical synergy. The first couple of times it happened, Sawamura hoisted his legs back up onto Miyuki's hips, only to have them fall down shortly afterwards. It might have been partially due to the fact that his focus wasn't totally on keeping his legs wound around Miyuki, nor could he really be blamed for it. With the way the catcher was making him feel as he worked over his cock, it was no wonder that he had trouble concentrating on his limbs. Yet it became somewhat of an awkward position for the both of them, as they moved an arm here or there in order to get more traction or comfort. "Ka--Kazuya," Sawamura mumbled against Miyuki's lips. "Yeah baby?" Sawamura's heart swelled at the term of endearment mentioned again. "Can I . . . be on top of you?" Miyuki kissed at his neck, slowing the tempo of his thrusts. "Yes," his voice quite husky against his skin. They re-positioned themsleves carefully, Miyuki now the one on his back, eyeing Sawamura lustfully as the pitcher straddled his lap. Yet there was something new in the way Sawamura held his body erect on top of him. For maybe the first time, Miyuki saw Sawamura Eijun nervous, unsure of how to proceed in a given situation. The expanse of his cheeks was covered in a rosy blush, eyes purposefully looking anywhere but at Miyuki's face as he took the catcher's cock in his hand. Miyuki watched Sawamura bite at his lip, his free hand clenched into a fist. Miyuki opened his mouth to speak, to offer some calming words. But, as usual, Sawamura was moving forward without fear. He pushed up on his thighs, moving Miyuki's cock into position. And then he was carefully shifting down, eyes no longer avoiding the catcher's. Confident in what he was doing. Miyuki felt a surge of love for his boyfriend, proud that he knew how best to guide himself when unsure of which direction to take. But a quick moment later, all he could think about was how fucking good it felt to be buried back inside of Sawamura. Engulfed in the heat of him. Yet it seemed to get even better from there. Because with a low keening whine, Sawamura used his strong thighs to lift himself up and then back down, creating an amazing level of friction on his cock. Miyuki watched as the muscles contracted and then relaxed with the consistent up and down movement, and he placed his hands lightly onto each leg, feeling them flex under his palm. Instinctively, he began to work his hips up and into Sawamura when he moved down, the two of them communicating without words. His eyes panned up to Sawamura's face, watching as he threw his head back, a loud groan escaping from his mouth. It all became too much for Miyuki, and he knew he wasn't going to last much longer. Sawamura felt too good on top of him, looked incredibly erotic and beautiful perched on his lap. Not to mention how well he was riding his cock at the moment. He had to do something about that, and now. Miyuki grasped onto Sawamura's leaking cock, rotating his wrist as he worked upwards. He knew, from the many times that he had had his hand on Sawamura's cock, how best the pitcher liked to be touched. So he began with a steady pace, slowly increasing the speed at which he stroked him. Sawamura started moaning incoherent words, some of which sounded very much like Miyuki's name. He shifted on top of Miyuki on the next pass down, but then something changed. Miyuki didn't know if it was intentional or not, but suddenly Sawamura was clenching his muscles on and around Miyuki's cock, and he was done for. He felt himself come, toes digging into the comforter, fingers digging into Sawamura's thighs. His breath was a jagged stutter. "Fuck, Eijun," he groaned, feeling the pulse of his come in Sawamura's ass. The pitcher continued to ride him, working the rest out of him. It was the most powerfully vibrant orgasm he had ever had, and it took him a moment to remember his boyfriend. Quickly he began to stroke Sawamura again, not holding back now. He was relentless in his rhythm, watching as Sawamura kept his warm golden-brown eyes on Miyuki's face. A moment later, his hands now digging into Miyuki's shoulders and knees clenched into his sides, Sawamura came with a series of low cries. It spread out over Miyuki's abdomen and chest, and then Sawamura flopped bonelessly on top of him, careless of the fact that he was now soiling his own skin. Both of them needed a moment to catch their breath. Sawamura eventually opened his bright eyes, languidly taking in how Miyuki was looking just as overcome as he. "Kazuya," Sawamura whispered. "Jesus. That was---I don't even know. It was amazing." Miyuki smiled affectionately, fingers combing through Sawamura's sweaty locks. "Yes, it sure was." Eventually, Sawamura pushed up and off of Miyuki, both of the teenagers coated in equal amounts of Sawamura's come. The pitcher exhaled loudly as he laid on his back. He watched as Miyuki deposited the used condom into the trash, then dug into his hoodie pocket for something. Then the catcher was wiping both of them off with disposable wipes, proceeding to toss those, too, away into the garbage. A few moments later, both of them were snuggled comfortably on the top of the bed once more, clad in their underwear. Sawamura finger-walked up Miyuki's chest, his face showing an uncharacteristically shy yet happy smile. There was also the flush of sexual exertion apparent in the rosy blush of his cheeks, highlighting the overall tone of hs skin. It was surely the most beautiful sight that Miyuki Kazuya had ever seen, and he couldn't help but clasp his hand tightly over Sawamura's wandering one. "I love you, Eijun," Miyuki said throatily. He curved one of his legs over the top of Sawamura's, trying to get closer. "Mmmm. I love you too, Kazuya." Sawamura lifted his chin, clearly demanding a kiss. Which Miyuki provided, so soft and caring. He didn't ever want this moment to end, didn't ever want Sawamura to move away from the touch of his skin on his skin. Sleepily, his arm tightened around Sawamura as the pair fell into sleep, their energy temporarily spent. The last thing that Miyuki's mind registered was the soft touch of Sawamura's lips on his collarbone, the soft mumble of his full name.   ===============================================================================   Sawamura Eijun walked with Haruichi the next morning before their scheduled afternoon practice. He absolutely could not stop smiling. It was kind of eerie, to be honest. When Haruichi tried to talk to him about the differences in grips while swinging, Sawamura merely beamed at his friend. Not managing to hit any of the practice balls that were eventually sent his way. Kominato Haruichi smiled knowingly. "Eijun," he said, trying to sound off-hand, "Kuramochi slept in my room last night." "Oh--oh?" Sawamura asked, putting away their bats after twenty minutes or so of working out. "Really?" "Yeah. He snores a lot." Sawamura rubbed at the hair at his neck. "Yeah, he's the worst." The two teenagers headed down to an early lunch. A few members of their team were already present, working on their own breakfast. Soon enough, Zono and Furuya were joining them. It totally escaped Sawamura's notice how Furuya seemed to thoughtfully consider Haruichi, cool blue-grey eyes occasionally gazing at the second baseman. But then Kuramochi and Miyuki were soon joining their table, the catcher meeting Sawamura's eyes with a tender warmth. Their eyes held for a moment, Miyuki's expression telling Sawamura everything he couldn't put into words right now. At some point early in the morning when it was still dark outside, Miyuki had kissed Sawamura lightly awake to tell him that he was going back to his room. And that he loved him. When the pitcher had woken up some hours later to meet up with Haruichi, his thoughts were consumed with the events of the previous night. Miyuki kissing him, Miyuki moving on top of him, Miyuki coming inside of him. There was an extra level of intimacy to their relationship now, binding them together even closer. All around was the sound of their teammates engaging in enthusiastic conversation with their peers. Sawamura felt the edge of something touch the skin on his hand. He looked over to see Miyuki forking some eggs into his mouth as if nothing were amiss. But there was a small piece of paper on the tabletop, curled under Sawamura's palm. The pitcher warily cast his eyes around the table, but his companions were consumed with discussing whether or not the way Takashima Rei had casually laid a hand on their coach's upper arm meant the two were together or not. Sawamura carefully pivoted his upper body to the side, toward Miyuki. In his boyfriend's very neat and precise handwriting, one word was written on the scrap of loose-leaf paper. Tonight? And Sawamura Eijun suddenly grinned, feeling his cheeks suddenly darken with the heat of a blush, how his heart swelled with affection. Realizing how he cherished Miyuki Kazuya without reservations or limitations. Treasuring how just through Miyuki's touch, a simple hand hold or the way the catcher was curling his foot and ankle around Sawamura's instep under the table, Sawamura felt on top of the world. And the pitcher realized that he couldn't wait to experience the feeling of intimate attachment again with Miyuki, how their bodies became joined and they worked in tandem with each other. Sawamura lowered a hand below, laying it over Miyuki's knee. He squeezed once, firmly, giving his answer. Yes. He didn't have to look at the catcher to vocalize his answer, for Miyuki had come to be able to read Sawamura's body language as well. Yet he still glanced over anways, seeing how Miyuki had ducked his head, yet not able to hide the color that had risen in his own cheeks, the tops of his ears. The two of them were quieter than usual, and Kuramochi seemed to notice it. For the shortstop suddenly looked over at them, bemused. "Why do both of you look so . . . creepy?" he asked, kicking at Sawamura under the table. "You're up to something again." Sawamura tried, but not really, to hide his happiness through the cover of taking in a piece of bacon. It didn't work. "Forget that I asked. You two are . . . just so . . . " Neither Sawamura nor Miyuki heard the tail end of Kuramochi's statement, choosing to define for themselves what they were. So both of them continued to cherish that moment, how the feeling of complete adoration and love for each other was woven through their consciousness. And there would be many more "tonight?" notes written to each other in the future.       Chapter End Notes Hoped you liked this smutty chapter!
