The following day, Yugo to get back from work early to wait for Kenji. Usually it was the other way around, but after practically kicking the boy out the previous night, the man wanted to show Kenji he was welcome. Yugo had unscheduled a client and even stopped by at the supermarket to buy some special stuff for dinner – it would be braised pork and daikon! That night he would be the one cooking, just like old times. When Yugo was starting to worry about Kenji running late, he heard the key turning in the door. The man had been more worried that Kenji might bring his boyfriend over, but fortunately the boy had enough sense not to do it. Not after Yugo's reaction the previous night, anyway.
"Okaeri," Yugo greeted warmly.
Kenji stopped for a moment, surprised. "Tadaima," he said after recovering. "What about work? Did something happen?" He asked as he put his schoolbag on the couch.
"Not really, just unscheduled a client. Today I wanted to be here when you got home."
"Oh?"
Yugo hesitated for a moment before continuing, seeming a bit embarrassed. "Look, I just want you to know that I don't care if you're gay, you're still my brother and I won't treat you any different." Yugo was amazed he had managed to say it all. He'd been so nervous that he had replayed the lines in his head over and over.
Kenji couldn't help but smile. "Thanks, it means a lot to me. Honestly I was worried you might have a hard time accepting it," he confessed.
"It wasn't hard, it was just... too much of a surprise. I don't have anything against gay people, but I've never really talked much with any of them, so to me they were like... some sort of fairy tale or something. I mean, I know they exist, but... Crap, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore! Look, just... just give me some time to get used to it!"
Kenji laughed through his nose at this. "Sometimes I wonder if you live in a different dimension."
"What, are they really that common?!"
"Well, statistics say it's about 10% of the population, maybe more."
"Crap, I always thought it was some kind of ultra-rare thing."
"Nah, gay people are everywhere, really. Maybe one of your sparring partners is gay and you don't even know it," Kenji teased.
Yugo was stunned for a second. "Wait... a beefy muscular boxer... gay? Is that even possible?!"
Now Kenji couldn't contain himself and burst out laughing. "Really, Yugo, you're just unbelievable!"
"Hey, I really don't know!" He retorted, a bit irritated. This wasn't the first time he had been laughed at because of his ignorance.
"Then let me explain: muscular gay guys are called 'bara', and they do exist." Kenji had learned this term from Yumi's doujins. He didn't really know if they were called that in the real world, but he couldn't resist teasing Yugo with that information.
"Bara as in 'rose'??"
"Yes."
"Oh crap, this shit is so surreal! Why would a muscular guy be called a rose?!"
"No idea, don't ask me," Kenji shrugged.
"Okay, whatever! I just wanted to say you don't need to avoid me anymore. I know I can't give advice for shit, but if you have anything on your mind, you can to talk to me and we can figure it out together."
"Alright," Kenji replied. Oh, Yugo, if you really knew what's on my mind..., he thought bitterly.
"Anyway, are you hungry?" Yugo asked. "Today's menu is braised pork and daikon!"
"Not yet. Why don't we watch a movie before dinner?"
"Okay!" Yugo replied happily as he flopped on the couch.
********************Yugo was glad things had gotten back to normal. Kenji was being more open, though they hadn't returned to the level of closeness they once shared – the boy avoided Yugo when the man was shirtless, changing or wearing only trunks. When Yugo pressed him about it, Kenji confessed he was a bit embarrassed and asked Yugo how he would feel if there was a hot naked girl next to him all the time. Yugo replied with an 'oh', finally understanding Kenji's side of the equation. However, the information that registered most strongly was that Kenji found him 'hot'. For some reason, Yugo was very happy about this. He was a bit embarrassed himself, was proud to be admired by his young brother. It did wonders for his ego – that week, he worked out with even more vigor than usual.However, during the boxing training, Yugo often found his mind wondering through strange alleys. Because of that thing Kenji had said about 'bara' or whatever, Yugo kept looking at the other fighters and wondering if any of them might be gay. They all seemed so... normal! Well, not that gay people weren't 'normal', it's just that Yugo had a very specific image of what a 'gay' was like, and those brute types – of which Yugo was part – fell completely out of the mark. But, then again, Kenji himself deviated from that image in all regards except for having a handsome baby-face. Yugo suddenly realized that maybe his 'delicate' image only encompassed a small part of the gay community. Still, he found it weird as hell to think one of those brute types might actually be into... other brute types. Fortunately, none of them had ever hit on Yugo and, even if they did, Yugo probably wouldn't notice anyway.
During breaks, sometimes Yugo would catch himself admiring his own image on the mirror – something he hardly did before. He had always known his looks were above average, but had never really paid much attention. Now that he stopped to take a better look, he realized he actually had a pretty nice face himself. Maybe if his body wasn't so excessively muscular, he would have more success with the ladies, but he was very proud of it – there was no chance in hell he was throwing away his hard-earned achievements for that. Yugo's body was his career – he was a professional kickboxer, personal trainer and had recently applied for a natural fitness competition. If that worked out, he would add it to his portfolio as well. Besides, he valued strength, it had saved his life many times. He wanted to be as strong as possible without it impairing his fighting ability – a difficult balance, but one he had already achieved.
Occasionally, Yugo would remember, with a bit of guilt, his experimental fantasy about 'doing' another guy, but a mere glance at the brute types around him and it was like someone had dropped a bucket of cold water on his head. Definitely not his thing.
********************Himuro's attempts to get closer were starting to grate on Kenji's nerves, so he had been a bit skittish. It wasn't like the goalkeeper was being annoying on purpose, it was just that he was too persistent – always asking about Kenji's likes and dislikes, his favorite anime, his therapist, his relationship with Yugo, his hometown, his childhood, his parents... there was no end to it! And there was only so much Kenji could come up with. Oftentimes, he found himself brooding over how much he could say, how much he would have to make up and how to connect it all so he wouldn't contradict himself. And Himuro would use this information to ask even more questions. It had been a near-constant stress for past few days, and Kenji didn't know how much longer he would be able to put up with it. Already he was regretting not having cut all ties with Himuro when he'd had the chance.Rather than becoming closer, Kenji felt like the distance between them had only widened. The sex was good but definitely not worth the trouble. And, as of late, even the sex had left him wanting. Himuro was a good outlet for his physical desires, but, even of his body was satisfied, there was a hunger in Kenji's heart that remained unsated. It gnawed on him like a dark beast demanding attention. There was no denying it: the one he wanted was Yugo, not some random guy from school. Sometimes, Kenji even caught himself fantasizing about Yugo while having sex with Himuro, which always left a bitter aftertaste. After thinking things through, Kenji had decided to put a stop to this farce. It was the least he could do, for the sake of both of them.
Presently, Kenji was waiting for Himuro at a small clearing inside the "little grove" that existed near their school. They'd had sex there a few times. It was a small stretch of woodland that the government had turned into a park, but almost no-one went there on weekdays, which also made it a perfect place for what Kenji was about to do. Himuro arrived just a few minutes after him.
"Hey Kenji!" He greeted cheerfully.
"Good evening," the boy replied without enthusiasm.
"You sound strange, did something happen?"
"Yes, I've decided to put a stop to this. I can't reciprocate your feelings, so it will be better for both of us if we stop seeing each other."
Himuro took a while to absorb this, but it wasn't enough to shake his resolve. "Haven't we had this talk once? I'm patient, I can wait for your feelings to bloom..."
Kenji couldn't help laughing through his nose – that line was the sappiest thing he'd ever heard. Himuro took offense at this.
"Come on, I'm serious!"
Kenji had intended for a respectful conversation, but since he'd already blown it, he decided to just be evil. "Oh, Himuro, you may be serious, but I'm not," he said smugly. It felt good to let go of the masks and just be himself. At that moment, he made an unconscious decision to stop being the good, docile boy everyone knew. The arrogance he was showing then was an important part of who he really was.
Himuro didn't know what to say; he was confused to see Kenji acting so 'out of character'.
"You say you want to know the 'real' me, but I've been very unfair with you," Kenji said matter-of-factly. "You see, most of the things I've told you are lies."
Himuro took the full force of the blow. "Why?! I... I thought we were finally getting close... Do you really have to push people away so badly?!" He asked with a mix of anger and sadness.
"Yes, I do."
"Why!" Himuro demanded.
Kenji sighed exasperated. He was losing his patience. "Look, do you really want to know?"
"I love you, do you think I'll give up so easily?!"
"I'll only ask once more," Kenji said in a grave tone. "Do you really want to know who I am... what I am?" If that was not enough of a hint, Kenji didn't know what was.
Himuro gulped and nodded. This new Kenji was scaring him, but he wanted to know.
"Alright... let's see if you can still love me after."
Kenji took off his uniform, folding it neatly and putting it on the ground. Himuro was confused – he had seen Kenji naked many times, what was the boy trying to show him? At that moment, Kenji bent over; his body started convoluting and quickly growing in size, taking on a disproportionate humanoid shape. A sheen of brown fur grew over his skin, and his hands became large claws. Without the adrenaline of battle, the transformation was much slower than usual, which made it all the more horrifying to watch. A few seconds later, Himuro was standing in petrified terror before a mole-man who towered menacingly over him. The creature took a step towards him – this was all it took to break Himuro's paralysis and send him running away as fast as he could, screaming at the top of his lungs.
Kenji reverted to human form (which, fortunately, was much quicker) and dressed up. After so much noise, one of the few guards might actually come checking, so he figured he'd better make himself scarce. At first, he hadn't intended to go to such lengths to get rid of Himuro, but somehow he felt better for it.
