A Trip to the Baths

Jun blushes as Keisuke’s ass is revealed to them for a few seconds “Alright, cya Keisuke!” The cat looks at Yojimaru and grins “So, besides the little peep show, how are you enjoying the baths?”
Keisuke blushes bright red at the wolf’s teasing before smiling to himself. “Oh, you’re just jealous because you’re never going to have it,” he said while shaking his ass at the wolf before turning back to get his iPod, sticking his tongue out at the wolf after he got it, laughing under his breath.
Yojimaru wraps an arm around Jun’s shoulder and reclines back against the wall, sliding a bit deeper into the relaxing water. “I’m enjoying them very much.” he responds to the question, running his fingers through the damp fur on Jun’s arm. At Keisuke’s quip, the wolf rolls his eyes and scoffs.
“Oh please. If I wanted your ass, I’d already have you on your hands and knees!” he says with the up most confidence, perhaps bordering a little on cockiness. The wolf shrugs nonchalantly before speaking again. “Besides, I have my eyes set on other parties.”

Keisuke smiles brightly at Jun to calm him down a little. “Yeah, I’m going to be okay. My muscles just aren’t used to the strain of everyday work yet, but they will, given time. Besides that, how long are we going to stay in the hot tub? We don’t want to turn into prunes, now do we?” he asked with a chuckle as he got out of the hot tub, feeling relaxed and renewed, while unaware that the towel around his waist was slipping due to being heavy and laden with water from the hot tub.
Jun shrugs and move across the tub until he’s next to Yojimaru “Well, I’d still like to enjoy the baths for a little bit, I’m a bit sore…” The cat relaxes next to the wolf, and then looks back at Keisuke “Oh, and your towel is starting to slip.” the calico says quickly.
Yojimaru had been sitting back ever since he’d finished the massage, listening to the two talk about their band. He didn’t feel that he had anything to add, so he had remained silent. He grins knowingly at Jun when he tells the horse that he’s sore, and then shoots a glance in the horse’s direction, giving an appreciative whistle. “Nice ass!” he says, teasing Keisuke about his towel slipping.
Piano

Keisuke closes his eyes as he finishes the song before playing a song that he wrote for Kouya. It was filled with his love for him, the longing to be with him, the untold fear of being rejected by him. He lightly swayed to the music that he was playing, imagining Kouya smiling at him as he played. Maybe, one of these days he won’t be so afraid and ask Kouya if he wanted to see a movie or eat at the only restaurant in town.
As a new song begins, Yojimaru continues to lean against the tree and listen. This one was different… it had a lot of feeling to it. Is this a love song? Should I even be listening to it if so? the wolf thought, somewhat conflicted.
Piano

Keisuke took a drink of water and stretched before moving onto the next piece, Valse Impromptu by Liszt. He always liked to play this song near the end of his time practicing on the computer, though he didn’t know why. Maybe it was because he could put his own twist into it. He smiled to himself as he put all of his happiness of having friends into it, making it sound happy and cheerful. Nothing beat stroking the keys of the piano, the way that the music seemed to caress him as he pressed the keys. It was as if the piano were a part of him somehow, and he liked it.
The music paused for a moment before picking up again, more upbeat this time. Eventually he comes to the source of the music, a house with an open window, inside of which is a familiar horse playing the piano. Yojimaru doesn’t say anything in greeting, he simply leans against a nearby tree and listens to the music.
Piano
keisukehirama:
Keisuke was at a friend’s house in Waterfront, who had a piano since his dad was a music teacher and loved to teach kids how to play piano. He was spending several days over to give his father some alone time. He was absorbed in his own world, playing Restless Dreams by Schumann, like he always does in the afternoons to prevent himself from getting rusty, completely unaware that the window was open to allow cool air to flow through the house since the air conditioner was on the fritz. “If only my mother were still alive, she’d be happy that I never bothered to make my piano skills know. She always worried about fame getting to my head, and I understand her fear,” he thought to himself as he finished the song, moving onto In The Hall Of The Mountain King by Grieg.
Yojimaru was taking a stroll through Waterfront, enjoying the spring weather and the many blooming flowers when he suddenly heard something on the wind. His ears twitch as he tries to focus on the sound, it was very faint. “What is that….?” the wolf asks himself, his head sweeping back and forth, trying to discern from what direction the sound was coming from. Eventually, he pinpoints the direction that the sound is loudest and begins to head towards it. As he walks, the sound comes increasingly into focus, allowing him to discern that it was music. “A piano?” he ponders aloud as he nears the source. As the music grew louder and louder, the wolf’s pace slowed. It was a beautiful sound… but also mournful.

Yojimaru nods his head as he listens to Keisuke. “Ah, it’s good that you’re helping your father. I guess you aren’t such a thoughtless jerk after all.” the wolf says, his opinion of the horse raising a bit. “It’s up to you if you wish to talk about it or not.” he says as he wades up behind the horse and places his hands on Keisuke’s back. Using his thumbs, he begins to knead the tense flesh in small circular motions.
Jun looks between the two after Yojimaru’s comment ‘Wonder what happened…Ohh well. Hotspring~~~’ He watches Yojimaru massage the horses back and shrugs ‘Well must not been that big of a disagreement..’ The calico cat sits back and enjoys the warm water.
Keisuke lets out a small moan of relief as Yoji got the hard to reach places. “Jeez that feels good. Did you learn how to properly massage, of have you always been this good?” he asked as he leaned against the lip of the tub. “Well, the reason why I help my father is because since that day that my mother died, he had trouble after paying for the funeral,” he said, sadness coursing through his body and his tone..
Yojimaru chuckles at the compliment as he continues the massage, his hands starting to move lower down the horse’s back. “I suppose you could say that I learned it, I’ve picked up quite a few things over the years.” he says in response to Keisuke’s question. He listens in silence as his hands knead the young man’s back, making sure to work out any knots that he finds.

“What’s a city kid like you doing jobs like that for?” Yojimaru asks curiously, tilting his hand to regard the horse. Unlike Jun, he stayed where he was. He still had his misgiving about the horse but figured he should start trying to put them aside. “Sore? I could give you a massage, if you want.” the wolf offers.
Keisuke rubbed the back of his neck, trying to get the kinks out from it. “I do it because it’s only me and my father that lives in the house now since, since that day. and he’s been having trouble financially, so I have to work two jobs to help him out,” he said, smiling to hide his pain, trying not to cause the others feel uncomfortable. “I doubt you’d want to hear about it though,” he said before stretching, enjoying the warmth that the water provided. “Hmm? Yeah, sure, if it’s okay with you,” he said as he turned around for Yoji.

Yojimaru grins and nods at Jun. “Not too sore, I hope? I wasn’t too rough, was I?.” he asks in concern. He likewise lets himself sink further into the water. “Me? Oh I’m real good.” he responds with a wink. It was just about then that Keisuke comes in. He can feel the fur along his back bristle at the horse’s presence. Relax, Yoji… he’s a friend of Jun’s, have to play nice… “Oh, hey Keisuke!” the wolf says in greeting, smiling at the horse. “Rough day, huh?”
Jun smiles and waves at Keisuke “Hey Keisuke! What happened?” the calico ask the horse. He quickly dunks his head under the water, and when he comes out from under it he puts his arms over the side and looks over at Keisuke.
Keisuke sighed as he knew what Yoji felt towards him, and he hoped that, somehow, he’d get on his good side. “Hmm? Oh, yes, moving 60 crates full of vegetables can be exhausting,” he said as he rinsed off his hair. “On top of that, the machine that we normally use to move the crates broke down, so we had to do it by hand,” he said, finally done with washing his hair, he got up from the stool and got into the hot water, sighing with relief as he sank into the water. “Just a busy day at work Jun, tiring as it always is.”
“What’s a city kid like you doing jobs like that for?” Yojimaru asks curiously, tilting his hand to regard the horse. Unlike Jun, he stayed where he was. He still had his misgiving about the horse but figured he should start trying to put them aside. “Sore? I could give you a massage, if you want.” the wolf offers.

Jun lets out another small purr in response to the wolf’s question before looking at Yojimaru “Great, this is really relaxing..” he gives Yojimaru a small grin “And what about you?” The calico lets out a happy sigh after asking the question and then sinks a little further into the water, causing it to now cover him to just below his chin.
Keisuke groaned as he entered the baths after Yojimaru, his back feeling as though it had knots in it. He had a towel wrapped tightly around his waist as he sat down on one the stools and picked up shampoo for his hair and lathered his hair, washing it as he tried to relax. “Hey Jun, Yoji, it’s been a rough day today for me,” he said, making idle chat as he cleaned himself off.
Yojimaru grins and nods at Jun. “Not too sore, I hope? I wasn’t too rough, was I?.” he asks in concern. He likewise lets himself sink further into the water. “Me? Oh I’m real good.” he responds with a wink. It was just about then that Keisuke comes in. He can feel the fur along his back bristle at the horse’s presence. Relax, Yoji… he’s a friend of Jun’s, have to play nice… “Oh, hey Keisuke!” the wolf says in greeting, smiling at the horse. “Rough day, huh?”

Keisuke looked at the ground feeling ashamed. “J-just don’t tell Kouya about this! Please!,” he said as he began to follow the wolf. “I know I should have brought it with me, and I wouldn’t have hurt his pride, that’s why I always, wait, no, you’re right. I would have hurt him. I thank you for getting rid of the burden. But what am I supposed to do now? I can’t tell him that I love him. He’d just push me away if he knew.”
Yojimaru grits his teeth as Keisuke follows after him, having to fight the urge to turn around and sock him one right in the kisser. “You want to know what you should do!?” he calls out. “Be a fucking man and admit to your mistakes! Saying it to me doesn’t matter, it’s Kouya you should be apologizing to!” The wolf takes a moment to collect himself, drawing in a deep breath and then letting it out slowly. “You have two options. Option number 1 - Keep it to yourself like a coward and live the rest of your life wondering what might have been, because you lacked the courage to make a stand for what you want. Option number 2 - Gird your loins and tell him your feelings when the moment is right. Spend time with him, get to know him better, THEN tell him. If he rejects you, then it wasn’t meant to be and you can move on.”
