Junichi went to the dance room. Sakamoto was busy as
always, putting Juniors through their paces. He sat on an out of the way chair
and just watched his friend. While some
of the dorm mates wante
"Okay, everyone start from the top!" Sakamoto
ordered. The Juniors groaned. "If you're ever going to do anything but
take dance lessons, it takes practice! Now let's go."
"Ichi, Ni, San, Shi," Sakamoto counted as the
Juniors danced.
*I love you,* Okada thought as he watched his friend.
Okada realize
When the Juniors finally left, Sakamoto turne
"I wante
"What do you think?" Sakamoto moved closer to
him.
"You're a great dancer." Okada said impulsively.
Sakamoto reached out, touching Okada's cheek. "I
want you to know that you're more then a frien
"I am?"
"You're much more then just a friend." Sakamoto
kissed Okada gently, an
Okada's mouth flew open. "You're kidding."
"I've never been able to lie to you." Sakamoto
trie
"Yuki, what about the security devices? Won't
someone see us?" Okada whispered.
"There's none in here." His frien
"I know it's hard for you to show your
emotions."
"My actions have hurt you."
"It's all right."
"It's not all right." Sakamoto decide
"I see." Okada looked away from him.
"The way you felt, you should have told me."
"How could I? If I did, I would loose you."
"I need you to know you've never been just a frien
"Why haven’t you acted like my lover?" Okada interrupted.
"Why do you have to treat me the way you do?"
"I too want
to act like the others do. I'm afraid....I'm afraid if we started acting like
lovers in public; the Manager will call for you again. I couldn't have that
happen."
"Is it because I'm so much younger then you?"
"Your age has nothing to do with it. You've never
seemed younger then
"Masayuki!" Okada gasped. "Please don't leave
me."
"Just being with you is making you miserable."
He said in barely a whisper. "I promised you that I would never hurt
you."
"Why is it so har
"When I was the favorite, I ha
"You're hurting too." Okada realized. Sakamoto
nodded. He went to his friend, touching the older man's back. "When you
touch me, you show me how you feel."
"I don't understand."
"Back before all the security devices, we slept
together almost every night. Many times I would wake and find you caressing my
body. Your fingers seeme
"I miss it too." Sakamoto confessed. "I
miss holding you."
"You can hold me now." Okada told him.
Sakamoto turned, an
"I hope that’s true."
"It has to be." Sakamoto whispered. "I
can't put up with being apart from you much longer."
***********************
The mansion, Sakamoto had always promised himself he
would never go back to the mansion on his own. Now here he was. One thing kept
running through his mind. What price would he have to pay if his request was granted?
The butler showed him to the sitting room. Sitting in his
favorite chair was the manager, he was fully dressed. Koichi sat on the floor
beside the chair. He was wearing a white robe. There was a collar around his
neck and a chain attache
"Hello Masayuki," the Manager gesture
*he still thinks of me as his pet.* he thought as he sat
down.
"Do you like my little pet? He's very
obliging." he patte
"He's very handsome." Sakamoto agreed.
"So why did you visit?"
"I wante
"The dorms where too crowded. Besides, most of them
are too long in the tooth for me." he gave Sakamoto a long look of
lust. "Of course with everything,
there are always exceptions. You have aged very well."
"Thank you sir."
"So why haven't you moved out?"
"I've been looking for a new apartment." He lied.
"Good, very good." The Manager told him.
"What else do you want?"
"I want permission to have Okada Junichi move into
my apartment."
"Junichi is too young to live on his own."
"He won't be living on his own. He'll live with
me."
"Absolutely not! Okada He is only sixteen"
"But sir." he interrupted. "Junichi will
be seventeen in two weeks."
"He is only a boy!" the Manager pointed
out. "His skin is still soft,
fresh. It still bruises so easily."
Sakamoto's blood ran cold. He realize
"You push this with me, and I'll send for him. Do
you understand?"
"I'll never mention it again." Sakamoto
promised.
"I have ignored what the two of you have been doing
because of my feelings for you." he said. "Do you two really think
you got away with sleeping with each other almost every night? Yes, you stopped
when the devices were put in, but what about all the times before that?"
*He knows about us!* Sakamoto trie
"You will start following the rules." The
Manager told him. "It would be a pity if you ended up like your first
love, wouldn't it?"
"Ito died after he was mugged."
"Is that what you think?" The man sneered.
"I have connections everywhere. It doesn't cost much to hire a thug to
kill a favorite's boyfriend."
The news sunk in. "Oh Kami."
If I hear anything about you touching Junichi before he
turns twenty, you'll join Ito in the grave!"
"I stopped seeing him months ago. He's only a frien
"The relationship between the two of you has
changed. I think I coul
"Sir?"
"Agree to what I ask you, or I'll have your beloved
Junichi at my side in twenty minutes!" the Manager's voice rose. "Then I will make sure he never leaves
my side again! I will make sure you disappear. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir." He glanced at Koichi. It had been
years since he had been force
************************
It was near dawn when Sakamoto was sent back to the
dorm. He realized he couldn't go back
inside. His roommates wouldn't understand his need for privacy. He went to his
fellow V6's member’s apartment.
Hiroshi, the early riser was all ready awake. He let
Sakamoto in, and offered him some coffee.
Sakamoto sat down. He had forgotten how much a visit to
the Manager's house hurt.
Inocchi brought him a cup of coffee. "You look like
hell."
"I feel like it." Sakamoto admitted.
"You haven't looke
"I haven't gone to bed yet." he admitted.
"I just need a place to rest for a few hours."
"What's going on?" he asked suspiciously. "You're not the type to stay out all
night."
"I went to the mansion last night." Sakamoto
admitted. "I wante
"You aske
"I thought the Manager might say yes. To put it
mildly, he wasn't pleased." he took a deep breath. "If I didn't do as
he said, Okada would have been his pet again."
"You're too old for him."
"I know. He beat me for being too old. But it saved
Junichi. That's what’s important."
"If he ha
"Thanks for understanding." he paused.
"The Manager told me that he caused Ito's death."
"Wasn't he killed in a mugging?"
"The Manager told me that it is easy to hire a thug
to kill someone."
"He's threatening you."
"I know. But he no longer thinks I have feelings for
Okada." Sakamoto stretched.
"Can I borrow the couch?"
"You can sleep in the spare bedroom. I'll show you
where it is." Inocchi got to his feet.
******************
Okada couldn't sleep. Instead he lay in his bed with his
eyes closed. He could hear Tsuyoshi and Koichi
in the bed beneath them. They where whispering softly to one another. Okada had
dreamt several times of hearing their voices, now he knew that the dreams had
been real.
"What would you do if you could do anything?"
Koichi asked Tsuyoshi.
"You want the real truth?"
"Yeah, the real truth."
"I would get rid of the security devices. It's like
living in a fish bowl."
"I don't like them either." Koichi agreed.
"What else would you do?"
"I wish we could go off together for a few days. We
could be together as partners. Not having to preten
"We can't do that, no even for a day." Koichi
reminded him. "Remember what happene
"I know, I know. If we di
"I'd get rid of that girl. She drives me
insane." Koichi told him.
"Oh Ko-chan aren't you so cute!" Tsuyoshi said
in a high pitched voice which cracked. "Oh Tsuyoshi, I can decide between
the two of you!"
"We shoul
"We can't do that! With her mouth, she'd blurt it
out on live TV."
Tsuyoshi moaned suddenly. "Ko-chan, are you sure? We
might be over heard."
"They're asleep. It will be all right."
Koichi's voice suddenly got deeper. "I need you."
The sound of the friends talking was replaced by the
sound of their being together. The bunk bed began to sway slightly. It was too
much for Okada, he put his hand in his shorts, an
*****************
Okada went to the practice rooms. He was planning on
practicing his piano. He could hear the unmistakable voice of Hiroshi say.
"Okada is just a child."
"You're using him." Inocchi said.
"I'm not using him!" Sakamoto insisted. "I
protect him."
"Do you really have to protect him by sleeping with
him?"
"I don't make Okada sleep with me!" his
friend's voice rose.
"You seduced him." Hiroshi told him.
"You're just as bad as the Manager!"
"I've never forced Okada to do anything he doesn't
want." Sakamoto paused. "He can leave me anytime he wants."
"He's too young for you." Inocchi told him.
"He's only sixteen."
"You where the same age as Junichi when the two of
you got involved"
"Four years apart is a lot different then
nine!" Inocchi insisted. "You are older then him. Do you really think
he gets a choice in staying with you?"
"Junichi is like our little brother. We have to protect him." Nagano told
him.
"He's not my prisoner. He can leave me any time he
wants."
"You won't stop him?"
"I want him to be happy. If he is happier without
me, I'll accept it."
"Does he know you love him?" Nagano asked.
"I can't say the words to him." Sakamoto told
his friends. "Perhaps you're right. Perhaps Junichi might be better with
someone else. Someone who can say the words to him."
"The question is could you live without him?"
"I can't." Sakamoto admitted. "I want to
spend my life with him."
"You shoul
"I can't tell him." Sakamoto sounded depressed.
"I promised myself I would never force him to be with me. It has to be of
his choice. If I put pressure on him, it would no longer be his choice."
Okada realized he had been wrong. Sakamoto had been
treating him the way he ha
**************
Junichi was sitting on his bed, looking through a photo
album.
"What are you looking at?" Koichi looked at the
album.
"My very best photos."
"You’re a photographer, right?"
"Well, I want to be someday." He reached out;
touching the page he was looking at. His fingers tracing the photo, it was of
Sakamoto, he ha
"Can I see?" Koichi move
"If you want." He hande
"These are really good. You're able to capture the subject’s
emotions in your photos."
"No, their not that good." Okada insisted.
"I wante

"If you ever nee
"Why do you think I'm involved with anyone?"
"If you’re afraid I'll tell the Manager I
won't." Koichi close
"Who told you?"
"No one, your photos show his love for you."
Koichi looked at Okada. "You do know Sakamoto loves you."
"He doesn't love me.
I can’t explain my relationship with him, but he's never told me he
loved me."
"The word love is har
"What di
"He would let Sakamoto move, but not you. The
Manager said you where too young to be on your own, even with a roommate."
"So why didn't he tell me? Why didn't he move
out?"
"Have you thought perhaps he didn't want to leave
you?"
"So he stays, and because of the surveillance
devices, we can't ever be alone together."
"I pulled
some strings. I convince
"Why would you do that?"
"I owed you one. You slipped my notes to Tsu-chan
when I lived in the mansion."
"I would have to ask the Manager to let me hire
him." Okada shuddered unconsciously. "I've never vowe
Koichi took a letter out of his pocket. He handed it to
Okada. "It's from the Manager It authorizes you to have Sakamoto as your
assistant.
Okada took the letter, an
"Nothing that he doesn't force me to do all the
time." Koichi reassured him.
"Now why don't' you hire you an assistant."

Sakamoto returne
The leader of V6 took the birthday present he had for
Okada out of its hiding place. He put it in his backpack. Perhaps giving Okada
his birthday present early might make him smile. Sakamoto put his clothes on,
combed his hair, an

"Can I come in?"
"If you want." He let Sakamoto into the room, an
The older man put his backpack on a table an
"There are none here. Koichi pulled some strings. I don't know
why."
"Because he

"Koichi told me you visite
"My visit didn't amount to anything. I asked if we
could move out, but he turned me down." Sakamoto admitted. "If we had

Okada reached out, touching the wrist band on his
friend's wrist. "Why are you wearing this?"
Sakamoto looked away from him; he took off his wrist
band, showing Okada the bruise.
"The Manager knows about us." Sakamoto told
him. "If I didn't give myself over to punishment, he would have called for
you. I ha
"Now I know what you must have gone through when I
was the favorite." Okada took Sakamoto's wrist and kisse
"I'm sorry I
betrayed you." he paused, trying to gather his thoughts. "I wanted us
to live together. Not cheat on you."
"You saved me. How can I hate you for that?"
Again, Okada kisse
"How can you forgive me?"
"Because you've forgave me for the same thing."
"You’re his victim."
"So are you Yuki-chan. We're all his victims"
Okada let go of his wrist. "When you where his favorite, did you have
anyone to talk to about the abuse?"
"I tried once after the first time. My room mate
didn't believe me. He called me a liar. How could I say such things about our
Manager?" Sakamoto paused. "My room mate tol

"There is something I should have told you a long
time ago." Sakamoto said.
"Something I nee
"What?" there was apprehension in his voice.
"When I was the manager's favorite, he use
"He tortured you." Okada said softly.
"The burn scars that I have on my legs are from him.
The Manager would burn me until I told him I loved him." he said.
"Now, I can't tell the man I'm in love with my feelings. I wish I could
come out and say it. But I can't."
"Your gentle touches. Those where you way of telling
me you loved me."
Sakamoto nodded.
"I trie
"You don't have to say the words, but you could say
'me too' when I tell you I love you."
"You've never told me that."
"I love you." Okada told him.
"I do too." He reached out, touching Okada's
face. Sakamoto pulle
"I feel all right."
"When the doctor gives you clearance for psychical
activity, I'll take you down here, and we'll make up for lost time."
"I love you,"
"Me too." Sakamoto smiled. He felt as if a
weight was lifted off his shoulders.
"It's crazy; I have a dark room, but no
camera." Okada said. "Perhaps I'll be able to save up for one."
Sakamoto pulled away from his lover, he took the present
out of his backpack. "I brought your birthday present."
"It's still two weeks until my birthday." Okada
reminded him.
"Then consider it an early birthday present."
he hande
"Can I open it?"
"Please do."

"You’re worth every yen I paid for it."
Sakamoto told him. "You're not the same when you can't take photos."
