Pairing: Kikuchi/Miyasaka, a bit of Kikuchi/Onozuka

Disclaimer: No money is being made off this story; consider it a little wish fulfillment on my part.
Sequel to: Unexpected Opportunities (Which was written after this story, but chronologically takes place shortly before "Comeback".)
Summary: Kikuchi goes out drinking with Miyasaka and receives an interesting proposition.
A note on Japanese terms: "Geinokai" is the word for the entertainment industry in Japanese. I guess we would say "show business" or "showbiz" in English, but it sounded a little awkward, so I stuck with the Japanese term. Names are given in the Japanese order with the family name first and given name second.
Part 1
***
The cast and crew went out to a nearby pub to celebrate; the director bought everyone a round of drinks, and Kikuchi bought another round. After a few hours, the party eventually died down, and people began crawling home to sleep it off.
"What?!" an inebriated Miyasaka exclaimed. "Everyone's leaving already? The night is still young!"
"It's nearly morning," one of the other actors chuckled. "I'll get scoldings from my wife as it is, for staying out so late."
"And I don't get a break like you," a production assistant groaned. "I start work on another show tomorrow, so I need to go home and get a few hours' sleep."
"Party-poopers!" Miyasaka complained, his lips forming a rather charming pout. Then his gaze brightened as it fell on Kikuchi. "Hey, Kikuchi-san, you're still up for a little more partying, aren't you? You're not going to let a young punk like me outdo you, are you?"
"Kid, I could drink you under the table," Kikuchi replied with an amused little smirk.
"That's the spirit!" Miyasaka exclaimed, clapping him on the back. "Bartender! Another round over here!"
Miyasaka kept knocking them back, while Kikuchi nursed his drinks more slowly, but the kid didn't seem to notice. Thus, he was still mostly sober, or at least less drunk than Miyasaka when the pub owner informed them that it was closing time.
"Come on, kid, time to go," Kikuchi told Miyasaka, pulling the other man's arm around his shoulders to help him stagger out of the building.
"The night ish still young!" Miyasaka protested, his words slightly slurred.
"The morning is young," Kikuchi told him dryly, hailing a cab.
"Wanna come over to my place and have a drink?" Miyasaka asked as Kikuchi helped him into the cab. Kikuchi raised his eyebrows, wondering if the kid was propositioning him, or if the invitation was innocently meant. This had been Miyasaka's first big starring role, and maybe he was just loathe to let the celebration end; Kikuchi had felt the same way himself as a young actor.
"Sure," Kikuchi said, sliding into the back seat beside Miyasaka. The kid was probably too drunk to get it up, anyway, but he decided to see the kid home since it was likely that he might pass out in the cab before he got there.
He managed to get Miyasaka to give his address to the driver before the kid dozed off, his head lolling on Kikuchi's shoulder. "Kid, you know if the paparazzi got a shot of this, it would cause another gay scandal?" he asked; Miyasaka's only response was a snore. Kikuchi chuckled, then pulled out his cell phone and took a snapshot of the two of them. "Who knows, I might need to blackmail you someday," he told the snoring Miyasaka with an evil grin.
"Here we are, sir," the cabbie said as the car pulled up next to Miyasaka's apartment building.
Kikuchi paid the driver and said, "Wake up, Sleeping Beauty," prodding Miyasaka sharply in the ribs. The kid grunted, blinking blearily to reveal bloodshot eyes. Kikuchi managed to rouse him enough that Miyasaka was able to stagger out of the car and up the stairs, leaning on Kikuchi for support. When they got to the door, Miyasaka fumbled with his keys until Kikuchi impatiently took them from him and opened the door himself.
Miyasaka seemed to perk up a little and asked, "Wanna drink, Kikuchi-san?"
"Don't you think you've had enough for one night?" Kikuchi asked.
"Nope!" Miyasaka replied cheerfully.
"Do you know what time it is?" a male voice grumbled, and a young man with tousled bleached-blond hair staggered out into the living room, rubbing his eyes. He was clad only in a pair of pajama bottoms, showing off a nice physique, Kikuchi noticed appreciatively. He looked vaguely familiar, and Kikuchi assumed that he was another actor.
"Hey, Onozuka, meet Kikuchi-san!" Miyasaka said.
"I'm Kikuchi Katsuya," Kikuchi introduced himself, although Onozuka probably knew exactly who he was. "Sorry to trouble you."
"I know who you are," Onozuka replied, smiling wryly. "You're all over the TV these days, and I've seen your old movies. I'm Onozuka Yuu. And there's no need to apologize; thanks for seeing this idiot safely home."
"Hey!" Miyasaka protested, with a hurt look on his face.
Kikuchi and Onozuka ignored him. "Are you guys roommates?" Kikuchi asked.
"Temporarily," Onozuka replied. "The lease ran out on my old place, so I'm crashing here until I can find a new apartment."
"I told you, there's an opening in this building!" Miyasaka piped up.
"I'm not sure I want to live that close to you," Onozuka told him. "I'm always cleaning up your messes as it is. I can only imagine how much trouble you'd be if we lived in the same building."
"You're so mean, Onozuka!" Miyasaka whined.
"Well, I should be going now," Kikuchi said. These two were almost as amusing as Iwaki and Katou, but it was late--or rather, early--and he was ready to go home and get some sleep.
"Don't go yet," Miyasaka urged. "Have a drink with us first."
"Have a drink if you want," Onozuka said, yawning widely. "I'm going back to bed; I have to be on the set early tomorrow." He headed to his room and closed the door behind him before Miyasaka could argue further.
"He's no fun," Miyasaka complained, then swayed slightly, almost losing his balance.
Kikuchi caught him and said, "I think it's time for you to go to bed, too, Miyasaka-kun."
There was only one other room in the apartment besides the bath and toilet, so Kikuchi figured that had to be Miyasaka's bedroom. The kid protested only halfheartedly as Kikuchi steered him into the room and settled him down on the bed. He was about to leave when Miyasaka suddenly grabbed his arm and pulled him down.
"Hey, Kikuchi-san...do you wanna stay?" Miyasaka whispered.
Hmm...so maybe the kid had been hoping rather than worrying that Kikuchi would hit on him. Miyasaka had a reputation as a ladies' man, so maybe he was conflicted about feeling attracted to a man, or afraid that his career would be affected if word got out that he was gay.
Kikuchi leaned down a little further and kissed Miyasaka, then wrinkled his nose. "Phew, you reek of booze!"
"So do you, so what does it matter?" Miyasaka retorted, and Kikuchi laughed.
"Fair enough," he conceded, and kissed the kid again, more deeply this time, coaxing Miyasaka's lips apart with his tongue; Miyasaka let out a muffled groan.
When they came up for air, Miyasaka stared up Kikuchi uncertainly, looking young and vulnerable, a far cry from his usual brash self. "I've never really done it with a man before," he said quietly. "I...I guess I wanted to know if I could."
Kikuchi rolled his eyes. "So I'm your experimentational phase?"
"Do you mind?" Miyasaka asked frankly, and Kikuchi paused to consider.
"No, I guess not," he replied. "I'm not looking for a serious relationship right now, so I'm cool with a one-night stand."
"I'm not looking for anything serious, either," Miyasaka said. "But I do like you...Aniki." He grinned impishly, using the title that the young gang member called his "big brother" by in the TV show.
Kikuchi couldn't help but laugh. "Damn, but you're cute!" he chuckled. "Maybe you're my type, after all, Miyasaka-kun."
"What do you mean, your type?" Miyasaka asked, but Kikuchi silenced him with a kiss. Miyasaka's caresses were hesitant at first, but things rapidly grew more heated, and the younger man's arousal was very obvious--in fact, at present, it was pressing very insistently against Kikuchi's thigh. The kid might not be gay, but he definitely wasn't completely straight, either.
"Hey, do you have any condoms?" Kikuchi gasped.
"Yeah, over in the nightstand drawer," Miyasaka replied, sounding equally breathless. But as Kikuchi reached towards the drawer, the kid called out, "Wait!"
"Yeah?"
"I...uh..." Miyasaka stammered, blushing like a virgin schoolboy; he really was cute. "I've never done this before, so, um...which one of us is supposed to be the, uh, woman?"
Kikuchi burst into laughter, and Miyasaka looked offended. "Listen, kid," Kikuchi told him. "If I wanted to be with women, I wouldn't be sleeping with men, and I wouldn't have been chased out of the geinokai ten years ago. And if I wanted to be a woman, I'd have gotten a sex change."
"But..."
"Fucking doesn't make you a man, and being fucked doesn't make you a woman," Kikuchi said bluntly. "It's not about who's the top or the bottom."
"Then...what is it about?" Miyasaka asked almost plaintively.
Kikuchi shrugged. "About feeling good, and making your partner feel good, I suppose. What is straight sex about?"
Miyasaka looked confused. Maybe it was the alcohol muddling his brain, although Kikuchi got the impression that he wasn't much of a deep thinker even when he was sober. "I dunno. I guess...sometimes it's just about getting laid, and other times it's about love."
"Well, it's the same with gay sex," Kikuchi said, suddenly feeling like a health teacher lecturing a kid on the facts of life, which was dampening his libido slightly. "Look, we don't have to do anything you don't want to do. We don't have to have penetrative sex. We could just touch, or--"
Miyasaka giggled. "Penetrative sex? You sound like a textbook."
"Yeah, well, maybe you should read one," Kikuchi grumbled. "Maybe I'll send you a copy of 'The Joy of Gay Sex'." At least his little lecture seemed to have broken the tension, because Miyasaka seemed more relaxed, and they resumed kissing and groping.
"Mmm," Miyasaka sighed as Kikuchi traced the edge of the younger man's ear with his tongue, then nibbled gently on the lobe. "Ooh...Iwaki-san..."
"What?!" Kikuchi shouted, jerking away from Miyasaka and jumping to his feet. "Did you just call me 'Iwaki'?!"
The other man blushed, looking chagrined. "I...um...well..."
"What the hell is so special about Iwaki?!" Kikuchi cried in exasperation. "Why is everyone so obsessed with him?!"
"What do you mean, obsessed?" Miyasaka asked suspiciously. "And just why did you drop out of Katou's film? And don't give me that 'creative differences' bullshit!"
"You laid hands on precious little Iwaki-san, didn't you? Gives you two something in common, I'd say."
Kikuchi and Miyasaka both turned to see Onozuka leaning in the doorway, a smile of sly amusement on his face.
"Eavesdropping?" Kikuchi asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh, give me a break," Onozuka replied. "You guys left the door open--I couldn't help but overhear your little tryst. You were the ones disturbing my beauty sleep."
"Sorry to trouble you," Kikuchi said with an ironic little bow, and Onozuka just grinned.
"Did you lay hands on Iwaki-san?!" Miyasaka demanded.
"I made a pass at him just to yank Katou's chain," Kikuchi replied casually, although he'd done a little more than "make a pass". It had never been his intention to actually rape Iwaki, of course, just to drive a wedge between the two lovers, though of course that didn't excuse his behavior.
"It was petty and childish," he admitted, as Miyasaka continued to regard him with suspicion. "I was angry that the media and the public had embraced our two little lovebirds so easily, when I'd been run out of Japan for the same thing."
"The love between them is true," Miyasaka declared melodramatically. "That's why the public embraced them. It's not a publicity stunt, if that's what you're thinking!"
"But aren't you hoping that their love isn't true?" Kikuchi taunted him. "Weren't you practicing on me for Iwaki?"
Miyasaka flushed and hung his head. "No. I want Iwaki, it's true, but I know that I can never come between him and Katou. He made me realize that my desires were selfish, that I couldn't give myself completely to him the way that Katou did. I just wondered if...well, if I could be with another guy, or if it was just that Iwaki's special." His expression turned wistful. "I never thought I could be attracted to a man before I met him."
"Before you saw Katou do him, you mean," Onozuka muttered, not quite under his breath, and his friend blushed and glared at him.
Kikuchi raised his eyebrow again. So the golden pair were exhibitionists, were they? He wouldn't have expected that from Iwaki's buttoned-down attitude, but then again, he used to be a porn star, so maybe that prim act was just an act. Or maybe Miyasaka had been spying on them without their knowledge--which again could be useful if he ever needed something to hold over the young actor.
"Look," Kikuchi told Miyasaka. "I don't mind being your experiment while you try to figure out your sexuality. But I'm not interested in being a substitute for anyone, especially Iwaki."
"I'm sorry, Kikuchi-san," Miyasaka said, hanging his head and looking so miserable and contrite, like a puppy who has just been scolded for piddling on the carpet, that Kikuchi couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
"It's okay," he told the kid. "No hard feelings. If you ever decide that you want me for myself, give me a call." He bent down and brushed his lips against Miyasaka's in a light, almost chaste kiss, then straightened his clothes and left the room as Miyasaka mumbled another apology.
Onozuka was in the living room, hanging up the phone. "I called you a cab," he said.
"Thanks," said Kikuchi. "I'll go wait outside for it."
"Hang on, I'll walk you out." Onozuka threw on a shirt and accompanied Kikuchi out of the apartment. "Thanks for going easy on Miyasaka," he added as they walked down the stairs. "He's an idiot, but he didn't mean any harm. He just doesn't think things through."
"Yeah, I kind of got that impression," Kikuchi chuckled. "Nice kid, but not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed."
"You can say that again," Onozuka said, rolling his eyes, but there was affection mixed with the exasperation in his voice.
"So how do you guys know Iwaki?" Kikuchi asked.
"We were friends with Katou, and we wanted to meet the cute lover that he kept bragging about," Onozuka replied. "I don't really get what's so special about Iwaki, either, but that idiot Miyasaka was instantly smitten."
His tone of voice was light, almost joking, but his eyes narrowed slightly, and Kikuchi thought he detected a hint of jealousy in them. Kikuchi was careful to keep his expression bland, but inwardly he was intrigued--was there a love triangle here? No, there were four people involved, so that would be, what? A quadrangle?
"I bet Katou went ballistic," was all Kikuchi said.
"You have no idea," Onozuka sighed, shaking his head. "Katou nearly killed him--no exaggeration."
"I can believe that," Kikuchi said with feeling, rubbing the cheek that Katou had punched.
Onozuka smiled. "If Katou didn't do any permanent damage to you, then you got off lucky, Kikuchi-san. It really took a lot of work to reconcile Katou and Miyasaka, and it only worked because Iwaki is so forgiving." Onozuka grimaced, looking a little sour when he mentioned Iwaki's name.
"You really look out for your friends, don't you?" Kikuchi asked. "It can't be easy, playing peacemaker for those two idiots."
"Oh, it's no big deal," Onozuka replied airily. "It's just that Katou and Miyasaka are my two favorite toys; they always provide lots of amusement." He pouted. "Although lately they're not as much fun, because they only want to play with Iwaki."
Kikuchi laughed. "I guess you and me are in the same boat, kid."
"I guess," Onozuka agreed with a rueful smile. "We ought to look out for each other, since we seem to be the only members of the anti-Iwaki fan club."
Just then, the cab pulled up. "See you around, Onozuka-kun," Kikuchi said. "Who knows, maybe we'll end up working together someday."
"Maybe," Onozuka said with a smile. And suddenly, just as Kikuchi was halfway in the cab, Onozuka bent down and gave him a searing kiss. It was forceful and demanding, with none of the timidness that Miyasaka had shown. Onozuka's tongue pushed its way between Kikuchi's lips, invading his mouth without waiting for permission--not that Kikuchi was objecting.
After a long moment, Onozuka pulled away from Kikuchi, a charmingly insolent grin spreading across his face. "We ought to get together sometime--I need a new playmate, since Iwaki stole mine," Onozuka said, sounding only slightly out of breath.
"Sure," Kikuchi laughed. "Why not?" He pulled his cell phone out of his jacket pocket and tossed it to Onozuka.
Onozuka programmed his phone number into Kikuchi's cell, then handed it back to him. "Give me a call the next time you're feeling bored," he said. "I'm sure I can think of something entertaining to do."
"I've no doubt of that," Kikuchi said, pulling the car door shut. Onozuka winked at him and waved as the taxi pulled away from the curb.
"Where to, sir?" the driver asked, his expression perfectly calm and polite, not looking shocked or disgusted in the least. Either he was good at being tactful and minding his own business, or if this was a company that Onozuka used regularly, maybe he was just used to the young actor's antics.
Kikuchi gave the driver his address, then leaned back against the seat and grinned to himself. His comeback was going well, and he had found a new playmate, maybe two--things were definitely looking up!
THE END.

***
A lengthy rant on Asian actors in America, combined with some story meta; feel free to skip if you want:
In vol. 2 of the manga, Iwaki says that Kikuchi left Japan after the scandal, and "was successful and achieved a lot of respect" in America. I suppose it's possible, depending on your definition of "success," but I find it unlikely that a Japanese actor would have achieved stardom on the level of a Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. It's much more likely that he would have been a respected supporting actor at most.
I'm not an actor, but I am Asian-American, and I am often acutely aware of the lack of people who look like me on TV or in the movies. Things are certainly much better than they were in the past, but as I have Kikuchi say, the opportunities for an Asian actor are extremely limited, and most of what is available are the cliched stereotype roles. Actor Garrett Wang, who played Harry Kim on "Star Trek: Voyager," made this same complaint at a Star Trek convention I attended back when the show was still airing, and Kikuchi's speech is partially based on this experience. Wang said that it was a moral dilemma that Asian-American actors have to face: do you accept the offensive stereotyped roles because you need the work, or do you stand your ground and refuse them and remain unemployed?
Kikuchi exaggerates slightly when he says that he can count on one hand the number of movies with Asian leading men, but he's not really that far off. I can think of a number of films with Asian stars, but they tend to be of the kung-fu/martial arts type, such as Jackie Chan or Jet Li action films. There's Chow Yun-Fat, who is really more of an action star, but had his greatest success in the U.S. with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"--again, a martial arts film (although the story is beautifully written and doesn't take a back seat to the stunts and action). And aside from "Crouching Tiger," he hasn't achieved the level of stardom that he has in his native Hong Kong. Awhile back, there was Jason Scott Lee, who starred in "Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story"--which sort of halfway falls into that category, since it's actually more of a drama, but it's about a martial artist. He did several movies after that, but none achieved the success of his first, and he seems to have faded from the acting scene.
The only "leading man" type Asian actor I can think of who's had success in America is Ken Watanabe, from "Memoirs of a Geisha," though it remains to be seen whether he'll continue to get leading roles in U.S. films. He recently starred in "Letters from Iwo Jima," but that's an historical-type film (as was "Memoirs," in a sense). I have my doubts about whether producers would be willing to give him more general leading roles, of the sort that Brad or Tom might be offered.
For leading ladies, we have Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi, who are also mostly associated with martial arts films. Kelly Hu has had various supporting roles in the movies and on TV, most notably in The Scorpion King and the second X-Men movie.
TV is maybe a little better. We have Daniel Dae Kim and Yunjin Kim as Jin and Sun on Lost, and Sandra Oh on Grey's Anatomy; Ming-Na was on ER for several seasons. The various incarnations of Star Trek have usually had one Asian actor in the cast, but the producers are careful to choose a multi-ethnic cast, given the premise of the Star Trek universe, an idealized future where humanity has moved beyond racism and war.
There's Archie Kao (former Power Rangers star) as lab tech Archie on CSI, although his role falls into the "computer geek" stereotype. He said in an interview that he was only hired for one episode, but the producer liked him, so they made him a recurring character. Though I'm not sure why, since they rarely give him much to do aside from a bit of technobabble. I would have loved to see him move up to field investigator, especially with one of the main characters having been killed off last season. But maybe I shouldn't bitch too much; the character's last name is "Johnson" which implies that they didn't intend him to be Asian, so maybe it was color-blind casting.
Let's see, there's Michaela Conlin, who plays Angela Montenegro on Bones. (Despite her last name, she looks very Asian; her bio says she's of Chinese and Irish descent.) And there's the new CBS crime drama The Mentalist, which has Tim Kang as Kendall Cho, who plays one of the agents who works with the title character. What's nice about these two characters is that there's no particular need in the story for them to be Asian; it's more like they're an artist/tech and a cop who just happen to be Asian.
Of course, these are all supporting roles, or at best, a more-or-less equal role in a large ensemble cast. Except for Margaret Cho's ill-fated All American Girl, I can't think of a single TV show that had an Asian actor as the main star.
Well, I sort of take that back, now that I think about it. There was Sammo Hung's Martial Law, which lasted for only two seasons--again, there's the martial arts aspect. I think the show was riding off Jackie Chan's success in the U.S. at the time. And there was Vanishing Son starring Russell Wong, which ran briefly on UPN, and Relic Hunter starring Tia Carrere, which I think was syndicated. But it's very rare to see a show with an Asian star, especially on the major networks.
Well, anyway, you get the picture. Sorry for the long rant; it's been festering for quite a while. But the point is that realistically speaking, Kikuchi might have reason to be frustrated with his career in the U.S., even if it's relatively successful. Which gives me reason to have him stick around in Japan, since it's not clear in the manga what happens to him after he's fired from Katou's movie. Did he stay in Japan, or did he go back to the U.S.? And why wasn't there a big uproar in the media about why Kikuchi quit the film on the eve of his comeback--didn't the tabloids smell a scandal? He's an interesting character, and I was disappointed that we didn't see more of him, which was why I decided to write about him.
I love Onozuka, too, though I can't quite figure him out--or maybe that's why I like him! He's so intriguing. He clearly enjoys stirring up trouble, but he seems to genuinely care about Katou and Miyasaka. He appears to be a little jealous of Iwaki, although I think he's the sort of guy where you can't take what he says at face value. Still, his declaration of dislike for Iwaki seems to have at least a seed of truth in it. With all the people chasing after Iwaki, I thought it was refreshing to see a character who didn't like him, so I decided to play with that idea in this story.
I do think there's an interesting dynamic between Miyasaka and Onozuka in the books, and I swear I just want to smack Miyasaka upside the head and say, "Hey dumbshit! Why don't you forget about Iwaki and chase after Onozuka instead?" ^_^ (I'm in the middle of Book 12, so I don't know whether anything happens between them later, but I'm guessing not, or at least nothing overt.)
Btw, originally it was going to be Asano who wanted to use Kikuchi for "practice," but it seemed out of character for him. I could picture him being calculating and wanting to have sex with a man to gain enough experience to seduce Iwaki later, but he wouldn't lose control enough to let Iwaki's name slip out in bed unless he was drunk, and again, I didn't think he would let his guard down enough to get drunk with Kikuchi. However, it would be in character for Miyasaka to get drunk and do something impulsive, so it wound up being him instead, which worked out better and allowed me to involve Onozuka, too.
Getting back to the issue of Asian actors in America, I do realize that Harudaki isn't necessarily meant to be realistic--I mean, the whole concept of two straight porn stars becoming gay lovers and movie stars is slightly out there! ^_^ With that in mind, I'm still going to say that it would be rather unlikely that a subtitled historical foreign film starring two unknown (to American audiences) Japanese actors as gay samurai lovers would become a smash hit in the U.S. (I'm referring, of course, to Fuyu no Semi, though I don't reference it in this fic.)
On the other hand, there's a chance that it could be. Crouching Tiger was a hit, even though it was in Mandarin with subtitles, and who would've figured that a movie about two gay cowboys would become a critical and box office smash? When you think about it, Fuyu no Semi is sort of like Crouching Tiger meets Brokeback Mountain! So maybe it would become a hit! ^___^
EDIT 11/7/08: Just a bit of trivia that I forgot to mention--the title of Kikuchi's fictional movie ("Future Wars") comes from a song by the same title from the heavy metal group Anvil. The lyrics have nothing to do with the movie plot; they're more sort of cheezy Dungeons & Dragons than sci-fi, but I just thought it would be a good title for a sci-fi movie. The idea for the movie was actually inspired by both the Babylon 5 TV series and the Alien Nation movie/TV series. Kikuchi's yakuza character in the TV drama is loosely based on the character Tokai from the Sanctuary manga. Tokai isn't gay, but he does have the ruggedly handsome look. He's utterly ruthless, a murderer and a rapist, and yet there's something oddly likeable about him. And he does have the quality of being loyal to the people he cares about, although there aren't many of those.

i'm happy about this one (and part 1), since when i read lotsa your fics paired Kikuchi/Onozuka, i always wondered how they hell they came to be related XDD. tho' sad Miyasaka was so obsessive about Iwaki, there was probably hot smexx with Kikuchi he (and we!) missed *LOL*
thx too for the side infos & ramblings you often join to the fics ^^
no subject
I kind of felt like Kikuchi and Onozuka would be a good match, so I invented a reason for them to meet. And yeah, Miyasaka totally missed out on some hot smexx!
Glad you're enjoying the ramblings, too.

If I'd come up with Onozuka's backstory in advance, I might not have made him that pushy, because I originally intended for him to be more experienced with men. But it probably worked out better this way, since the contrast intrigued Kikuchi.
