Three.
Two.
One.

He saw the lights flashing outside the window.

- Well, happy new year. And happy birthday. - he said at the empty room, finishing his last glass of wine.

Then he left the fireworks colouring the black sky moving towards the bathroom.

He felt tired. But he wanted to have a shower before leaving for "dreaming-land".
He turned on the hot water and waited till the room was full of steam.

He felt a bit cold inside. And the hot water on his skin wasn't able to send that feeling away.

He sighed and turned off the water.
And then he heard it.

The doorbell was ringing.

'Who's now?' he thought annoyed, hoping that the possible visitor would change his mind quickly.

No way. The doorbell continued ringing annoying.

Finally, dripping and only covered with a white towel, Kaede Rukawa went at the door and, without asking anything, he opened it.

- Who...? - he could only falter angrily before he recognized the people out of the door.

He blinked.

'Sendoh. Akira Sendoh.' he thought, looking at a smiling guy.

And behind him...

'Hanamichi.' he realized.

He didn't know what to say.

Sendoh and Hanamichi looked each other in a strange way.
And then Sendoh looked at him smirking:  

- Hi Rukawa. - he said.
- Hi... - Hanamichi said, smirking he too.

Finally Rukawa regained his voice:
- What... What are you doing here? - he asked coldly.  

Sendoh sighed.
- I thought it was clear... - he said rolling his eyes - Happy new year Rukawa! - he said, smiling.
Hanamichi smiled at him and looked right in Rukawa's eyes:
- Happy new year... kitsune... - he said.

Rukawa was confused.

Suddenly, the frosty breeze woke him up, making him shiver.

Sendoh and Hanamichi looked each other again, and started to laugh.

Rukawa was even more confused now.

- Rukawa... Don't you feel cold? - Sendoh asked.
And Hanamichi started to laugh again.

Finally Rukawa realized that he was there, talking to two almost unknown people almost naked in the cold air of the first of January .
He felt a sudden need of blushing.

Hanamichi raised an eyebrow, looking at the red tinge on his mate's cheeks:
- Well... Are we going to freeze here or do you think it's possible to make us enter? - he asked.

Rukawa blinked. And, after a while he nodded, moving form the door frame.

Hanamichi and Sendoh got in.

Rukawa closed the door behind his shoulder:
- I... I go put on something... - he muttered, leaving two guys smiling strangely.

Once in his bedroom, he had just the time to put on his pants and a pair of faded jeans before hearing Sendoh calling his name:
- Rukawa?

Rukawa sighed.
'Why the hell have I opened that damn door?' he thought.

He went down, dry his hair with a towel.

Hanamichi was sitting on the sofa while Sendoh stood up.
Both of them looked at him strangely again.

He raised an eyebrow.
- Sorry... - Sendoh said showing a bottle of champagne - ...but I need some glasses... - he finished smiling.

Rukawa nodded.
He went to the kitchen and came back handing three glasses.

He left them on the table in front of the sofa, before sitting with Hanamichi and continuing drying his hair.

Rukawa looked at Sendoh opening the bottle and pouring its content in the glasses.
Finally, the spiky haired guy gave one of them to Rukawa and another to Hanamichi, smiling:
- No New Year without a toast. - he said, raising the glass and drinking.

Rukawa and Hanamichi did the same.
- Well... happy new year guys... and happy birthday... - Sendoh said, suddenly becoming serious.

The raven haired guy blinked.

- Yes... happy birthday... and... this is a gift... for you... - Hanamichi said giving him a little red box.

Rukawa blinked again, looking at the gift in his hands.
'Happy-Birthday...' he was thinking confused.
And so he didn't notice a certain look passing between Sendoh and Hanamichi.
- Then? Don't you open it? - Sendoh asked, sitting on the sofa he too.

Rukawa nodded and untied the ribbon that closed the box.
Finally he raised the lid and looked inside, blinking.

Sendoh and Hanamichi started to laugh again.

- What kind of joke is this? - Rukawa asked, coldly.

Sendoh smiled at him:
- No joke. - he said, with a strange serious note in his tone.

Rukawa raised an eyebrow:
- No? And what is this then?

Sendoh shook his head and took the gift: a long black band.

- Silk. - he answered simply - One of the most resistant materials in nature. - he explained - And one of the most... delicate. - he finished, passing the cloth on Rukawa's cheek.

That soft touch made the raven haired boy shiver uncontrollably.

- Do you still feel cold, Kaede? - Sendoh said, leaning towards him.
- How... how did you call me? - Rukawa asked, confused.
- Kaede... I called you Kaede... And you call me Akira... - he said coming even closer.

Rukawa could feel his warm breath on his skin.

- It's more... intimate... don't you think? - Sendoh concluded smiling.

He and Rukawa looked each other for a while.
And finally Sendoh kissed him.  

Rukawa felt the warm touch of those lips sending chills on his spine.
He closed his eyes.
And suddenly, Sendoh's hands were on his skin, gently caressing it while his kiss started to deep.  

Rukawa was confused. He felt that the situation was strange. It was wrong.
'Two males kissing each other. This is not supposed to happen. Not to me.'
He wanted to stop, even if the sensation he felt was incredible.

He tried to regain the control of the situation.
Uselessly.

For that, as he opened his mouth to speak, Sendoh's tongue entered it violently, mastering the raven haired boy.
His grip on Rukawa's skin became harder. Stronger. Almost painful.

Rukawa opened his eyes, while Sendoh continued exploring him hungrily.

He moaned and tried desperately to put his hands between himself and Sendoh in order to push him away.
But the other guy prevented his intentions and took his wrists, squeezing them painfully.

The spiky haired guy left Rukawa's mouth and looked at him firmly, with a strange smirk on his red lips.
- What are you trying to do? - he asked, innocently, still holding the other's wrists.

Rukawa felt his world spinning.
- Let me go. - he whispered trying to keep on his façade of cold sureness.
But it was crumbling helplessly under the sceptical look in Sendoh's eyes.

- Let you go? Why? Don't you like... - he leaned towards Rukawa and slowly licked his cherry lips - ...this?

Rukawa breathed hardly. He looked at Sendoh, worried.

- ...no... - he said

Sendoh nodded, scrutinizing Rukawa's gaze.

- Well... in this case... - he said, loosening is grip on Rukawa's wrists. But just a bit.

Because suddenly he held them tighter, pulling the other boy towards him.
Rukawa tried to free himself, but useless.
Sendoh held him painfully tight.

- ...I'm sorry. Really. Because I like it. A lot. And I won't let you go.

Rukawa clenched his teeth, feeling Sendoh's nails wounding his skin.

Sendoh was smiling, while quickly he pulled Rukawa's arms in order to block them behind his back.

Rukawa let escape a suffocated cry when Sendoh pushed him face down on the sofa.

- Hanamichi, dear... bind him, please. - Sendoh said.

Rukawa remembered Hanamichi's presence.

He had assisted all the scene silently. Probably enjoying it.
And now, always without a word, he took the black band and used it to bind Rukawa's wrists.

Finally, Sendoh made him turn.

Rukawa couldn't look at him. At them. He was feeling confused. Afraid. And dirty.

'Sendoh kissed me. Sendoh kissed me. ' he was thinking 'And what the fuck I've done to stop him? Nothing. And now...'
He struggled against the hold of the ribbon. Useless.

  Suddenly Sendoh placed an hand under Rukawa's chin, gently forcing him to raise his gaze.

  - Then little? What are we going to do with you? Or... of you? - he wondered smiling at him and then at Hanamichi.
- Poor dear... You look so confused... - he said sarcastically - Are you afraid? - Sendoh asked seriously.

Rukawa looked at him interrogatively.  

- You should. - Hanamichi said even more serious than his friend - Your really should. - he repeated coming closer to caress Rukawa's wet hair.  

The guy opened his eyes wide.  

Unconsciously, he felt that he was going to follow the red-haired guy's advice.
He was starting to fear.
And he shivered.

Sendoh and Hanamichi looked each other for a while and laughed a bit.
Rukawa stared at them puzzled.

- Well... You know, Kaede. There are rumours around... - Sendoh began, sitting near the defenceless guy.

- People say you're gay... All those girls drooling on you, but none that actually could say how you're in bed... - he smirked - But unfortunately, listening to the male population, there are no news 'bout your sexual skill... Your pale effeminate beauty... - he asked smirking - Hanamichi and I have been wondering about it for a long time. Is it a monument to chastity? 'cause if it's so... we're going to knock it down. - he finished widening his smile.

Rukawa was desperately trying to find a solution to this situation.
But it wasn't so easy.
The "Akira Sendoh & Hanamichi Sakuragi" he was facing weren't the ones he knew.

- Sendoh... look... this isn't funny at all... - he began, trying to sound convincing.

- Really? - the other cut off, raising an eyebrow - Let's listen at Hanamichi's opinion.

The red haired guy, as answer, leaned towards Rukawa and touched his check, without saying a word.
Then, leaning towards him, he started to kiss him gently, licking his lips, biting them softly, caressing his hair.
Finally he looked in Rukawa's eyes, with a warm brown gaze.
Rukawa tried to speak.
- Hana... - he began.
But Hanamichi didn't let him finish.
Suddenly he bit gently his neck, while his hands tasted Rukawa's silky skin.

The raven haired guy couldn't help moaning softly.

- Touché. - Hanamichi whispered, smirking against Rukawa's neck.

After a while he raised and looked at Sendoh.
- I think it will be funny. Very funny. At least for us. But is the majority that counts, isn't it? - he said grinning.

Rukawa's gaze was horrified.
But only partly because of Hanamichi's words.
His problem was himself.
'I was moaning like a bitch...' he thought, desperately 'What the hell is happening to me?'

He was still thinking about that perverted situation when something made him jump.

He looked up and found a smiling Hanamichi that had just poured a bit of cold champagne on his skin.
- Well. I'm tired of talking. So just a last toast before the... action. - he poured another bit of champagne on Rukawa's chest - Erm... to Rukawa's innocence. - he said, smirking.
Sendoh laughed:
- To Rukawa's loss of innocence. - he corrected, starting to lick the liquid from the raven haired guy's skin.
Hanamichi smiled and, without adding a word leaned towards Rukawa and kissed him.

Deeper and deeper.

And when Rukawa opened his mouth, he poured a bit more wine between their lips, forcing the guy to drink it and tasting the double flavour of the expensive liquid and the defenceless boy.

Rukawa wanted it to stop. Or maybe not.
His mind began to tear.

He felt the wet hungry kisses of Sendoh on his skin. His sweet violence.
And then Hanamichi's lips. His tongue that explored him, gently but firmly.

  'What can I do?' he thought desperately, feeling that his body was automatically reacting to all those provocations.

- Stop... Let me go... I... - he faltered.

But Sendoh and Hanamichi didn't pay attention to him.
On the contrary, they deepened their assaults.

  Rukawa felt that Sendoh's hands had began sliding down, towards the zip of his jeans. Those teasing hands worked there for a while, lightly brushing against his sex, only covered by the thin consistence of his pants and...

  - No! - he cried, a tone of pain in his voice.

Hanamichi and Sendoh suddenly stopped, looking at him interrogatively.

- No, what? - Sendoh said.
But Rukawa answered with another question:
- Why are you doing this to me? - he asked, without looking at them.

Hanamichi raised an eyebrow.

- Why? Why not? You're beautiful. Damn beautiful. Damn sexy. Damn innocent. And, over all, damn unreachable. - he explained, crossing his arms on his chest - Everybody wants you. But we want you desperately. That's why things are going... this way. 'Cause you didn't give us another way.

Rukawa continued staring at the floor.
- You aren't going to give up, are you? - he asked, softly.

Sendoh smiled:
- No, honey. We aren't going to give up. Sorry. - he said.

Rukawa raised his gaze.
His blue eyes were bright with tears.
He blinked and a single drop crossed his pale cheek.

Hanamichi frowned.
Then he leaned towards him and gently licked away the tear.

Rukawa stared at him, for a while, his beautiful blue eyes wide open.

Finally he closed them and sighing, relaxed against the sofa.

Hanamichi and Sendoh looked at each other.

And suddenly Rukawa spoke, always keeping his eyes closed:
- Don't hurt me.

Hanamichi and Sendoh looked at each other again.

Rukawa opened his eyes:
- Please. - he finished, looking at them.

The red haired guy smiled at him reassuringly coming closer.
- Just relax... - Hanamichi whispered, caressing the silky raven hair.

Then, suddenly, he pulled them, making Rukawa lift his beautiful face.
- ...and pleasure will overcome pain. - he finished kissing the other's lips.

Sendoh, with a smirk of satisfaction, joined his friend in the teasing game.
And while hungry mouths explored and tasted every centimetre of his exposed skin, Rukawa gave up.

Hanamichi smiled and bit the guy's neck, enjoying the suffocated moan that his little action had just aroused.

A sort of challenge began between Sendoh and Hanamichi.
And Rukawa's moans were the score.

Sendoh started to lick, suck, gently bit his nipple, while his hands began their usual way, reaching the unzipped jeans, feeling the silent struggle of the guy under his touch.

The spiky haired guy started to caress Rukawa's sex harder and harder.

Then, a glance passed between Sendoh and Hanamichi and, slowly, they undressed completely the almost naked Rukawa.

The raven haired guy hadn't the time of blushing, because Sendoh's hands were again on his sex, while Hanamichi continued caressing and tasting his body.

'Hot.' Rukawa thought.

But when Sendoh took his sex in his mouth, the raven haired guy cried out:
- Oh my...

Hanamichi smiled looking at Sendoh licking and sucking Rukawa's cock:
- Do you like it, dear? - he whispered to the defenceless guy.

Rukawa nodded, narrowing his eyes, his cheeks flushing deeply.

- And how much do you like it? - Hanamichi teased, looking at Sendoh, that took Rukawa's sex deeper in his mouth, playing on it with his soft tongue.

  The raven haired guy couldn't answer but moan at every movement of Sendoh on his cock. Hanamichi smiled and kissed him gently.

Rukawa closed his eyes, accepting Hanamichi's mouth on his neck.
Accepting his hands on his body.
Accepting his fingers in his mouth.

- Suck them. - the red haired guy whispered giving a look to Sendoh.
Now he was slowly caressing Rukawa's sex with his tongue, waiting for Hanamichi's next move.

Rukawa executed Hanamichi's order, and Sendoh's touch become deeper.
The raven haired guy felt the warmness explode in every cell of his body.

And suddenly Hanamichi's wet fingers left his mouth, slowly finding their way down.
Down.
Inside him.

Rukawa opened his eyes wide.
Hanamichi licked his lips, suffocating his sudden moan.
And he continued his way inside Rukawa.

Sendoh smiled, enjoying the scene and continued his games on Rukawa's sex.

The raven haired guy felt tearing between the sudden pain and the teasing pleasure.
Hanamichi deepend inside him, tasting his heat.

- You're so tight... - he whispered, moving slowly his fingers inside Rukawa.

As answer Rukawa moaned, while Sendoh sucked him slowly.

Suddenly Hanamichi and Sendoh left him.
The red haired guy leaned towards the Ryonan ace and kissed him, opening his trousers:
- You know... I think he's virgin... so... - Hanamichi lowered on Sendoh's sex - ...be gentle...
- Yes... - the spiky haired guy assured, moaning, while Hanamichi licked and sucked him.

Rukawa looked at them amazed and afraid.
And when they turned towards him, he was resigned.

Hanamichi went near him and caressed his hair.
- Just relax... - he said again, while he and Sendoh pulled Rukawa in another position.

Hanamichi held him tight against his body, while, from behind, Sendoh caressed Rukawa's back for a while.
Finally his cock started to push, slowly find his way inside him.

Rukawa cried.

The red haired guy kissed him, swallowing his groaning.

- He's damn tight... - Sendoh said, paying attention to not cause him too much pain.

Hanamichi moved his hands reaching Rukawa's sex, touching him gently.
And in a certain way this distracted the raven haired guy from the pain.

Then Sendoh pushed harder and entered completely in Rukawa's heat.
Rukawa cried again, but somehow Sendoh and Hanamichi were touching him in the right way.

If his mind was in total chaos, his body had clear intentions.
Sendoh dominated him.
And he answered accepting his full length.
Moving following Sendoh's time.
Moaning under Hanamichi's touch.

Sendoh took his time, enjoying the heat and the tightness of Rukawa's virginity, caressing the pale silky skin of his shoulders.
He moved slowly, but Rukawa's movement teased him, making him push harder and harder, deepening inside the boy till losing the control.
Sendoh emptied himself inside Rukawa.

The younger guy moaned, feeling the warm liquid filling him.
Hanamichi caressed his head gently, waiting for Rukawa to regain his breath.

- That was good, wasn't it? But it wasn't enough... - the red haired guy stated.

Rukawa swallowed hardly, suddenly feeling Sendoh's hands taking his sex again.
- Hana... michi... - he faltered, following Sendoh's movements.
He closed his eyes.
- Relax, dear. - Hanamichi said, lowering his jeans - And open your mouth.

Rukawa obeyed, unable to resist him. To resist Sendoh. And his own body.
He kept his eyes closed, feeling Hanamichi's sex in his mouth, on his tongue, hot and salty.
He found himself replaying Sendoh's previous games.

- Sendoh is a good teacher. - Hanamichi smirked - But you're a fast learner. Now open your eyes. I want you to see me. I want you to see how good you are... - he finished, moaning.
Rukawa opened his blue eyes, looking at Hanamichi arching his back with every movement of his tongue.
- Suck. - the red haired guy said. And he sucked.

Sendoh was enjoying the scene, his hands exciting Rukawa length.
Suddenly his fingers moved, entering that place his sex had just left.

  - Stop. - Hanamichi said, leaving Rukawa's mouth.
The guy groaned, feeling Sendoh's fingers pushing hard inside him.

And when Hanamichi sex replace them, he cried in pain closing his eyes.

But it last only a while, 'cause the red haired guy's movement were controlled and soft, pushing inside him strongly but gently.
Sendoh looked at them for a while, smirking.

- Then? - he asked an hidden question to Hanamichi, who was enjoying the hot tightness of Rukawa's body.

Hanamichi nodded and looked at the guy defenceless under his assaults.
- Kaede. Open your eyes. - he said.
They looked at each other for a while.
Suddenly Sendoh placed his hands between their stomachs, caressing Rukawa in the right way, until the guy started to moan in pleasure, forgetting the pain and the shame.

Sendoh exaggerated, exciting him with light or marked touches, following Hanamichi's rhythm, faster and faster.

'I'm going to explode.' Rukawa thought near to the ecstasy.

Finally Hanamichi came, with a last push inside Rukawa's heat.
And the other guy immediately followed him, moaning and spilling between Sendoh's hands.

Abandoned on the sofa, Rukawa was breathing harder.
Hanamichi and Sendoh looked at him and exchanged a gaze each other.

Finally the red haired guy went near him, touching gently his hair.
Rukawa shivered, without looking at him.
Hanamichi raised an eyebrow and, without saying anything, looked at Sendoh pointing to Rukawa's hands, still tied behind his back.
Sendoh freed him from the hold of the black silky band.

But Rukawa didn't move.

Sendoh left the two guys silent on the sofa and went in the bedroom. He took a sheet, and once back, he placed it softly on a shivering Rukawa.  

Hanamichi and Sendoh looked each other, worried. Rukawa seemed absentminded, staring at something in the emptiness.
The red haired guy looked at his wrists, bruised in the struggle for freeing himself. He took them gently, while Rukawa didn't make any resistance.
And Hanamichi kissed them softly.  

Rukawa seemed to come back.
He looked at the red haired guy interrogatively.

Hanamichi smiled softly.
- I'm sorry. We didn't want to hurt you. I...

Rukawa raised his hand and placed on finger on Hanamichi's lips.
