DaiShun (The Boyfriend)

Chapter 17: Ouch!

As Dai and Shun walked back to the hotel, the evening air cool against their skin, Dai turned to Shun. "Can I tell the others that we're together?" he asked, his voice a mix of excitement and nervousness.

Shun looked at Dai, a smile spreading across his face. "You can. We can be open about it."

Dai's eyes lit up with joy. "Thank you," he said, squeezing Shun's hand.

They entered the hotel, their steps lighter with the newfound openness between them. "You go ahead," Dai said. "I'll get some of my stuff."

Shun nodded and headed to his room. Dai made his way to his own room, where he found it empty. He gathered his night shorts and a T-shirt, when suddenly Kenji walked in. "You're here. We're playing some games in Akira's room. Wanna join?"

Dai shook his head with a smile. "I'm fine. You go ahead."

Kenji leaned against the door, staring at Dai with a curious expression. "What's wrong?" Dai asked.

"Is something going on between you and senior Shun?" Kenji inquired, eyes twinkling with curiosity.

Dai smiled, a bit sheepishly. "Is it that obvious?"

Kenji's face lit up. "I knew it! When did it start? Who confessed first? Did you guys kiss?"

Dai laughed, overwhelmed by Kenji's enthusiasm. "You sure have a lot of questions."

"Tell me about your date today," Kenji persisted.

"It was great. I'll tell you everything later. Aren't you going to play?"

Kenji slapped his forehead. "Oh, I totally forgot!" He hurried towards the door, then turned back immediately. "You should tell me everything later!" he called out before finally leaving. Dai laughed at his friend's excitement.

Dai then left to Shun's room and knocked on the door. Shun opened it, smiling. "I'm gonna go and freshen up," Dai said.

"Didn't you freshen up in your room?" Shun asked.

"Nope," Dai replied and headed into the bathroom. Shun settled on the bed, the sound of water from the shower stirring his imagination. He pictured Dai's strong, wet body under the stream of water, droplets cascading down his toned muscles. His thoughts grew wilder, envisioning running his hands over Dai's damp skin, feeling every curve and line.

Shun's daydreaming was interrupted by Dai calling him. "What is it?" Shun asked, standing by the bathroom door.

"There's no towel here. Can you get me one?"

Shun grabbed a towel and called out, "Open the door so I can give it to you." Dai opened the door slightly, just enough for Shun to extend his hand inside. Suddenly, Dai pulled him in, and Shun found himself face-to-face with a towel-clad Dai.

"Didn't you say there's no towel? What's this then?" Shun asked, pointing to the towel around Dai's waist.

Dai moved closer, pressing Shun against the wall. He placed his hands on either side of Shun, caging him in. "You wanna see what it is?" Dai teased.

Shun felt his face heat up and tried to leave, but in the struggle, the shower turned on, soaking them both. Dai grinned mischievously. "Wanna shower together?"

Shun said nothing, moving closer to Dai. Dai's heart raced as Shun placed his hands around his neck, pulling him into the shower. Their lips met in a deep, passionate kiss, tongues exploring each other with a hunger that had been building all day. The water played a role in their kiss, adding a sensual element as it streamed down their faces and bodies. Shun's tongue danced with Dai's, tasting the warmth and sweetness of his mouth. Dai's hands roamed Shun's back, pressing him closer until there was no space left between them.

After the kiss, Shun pulled away first, his face flushed and eyes gleaming with desire. "I'll go out first," he said shyly, stepping out of the shower with his face still blushing.

Dai followed, changing into his shorts. Shun did the same, and soon they found themselves on the same bed, the intimacy of their moments still lingering in the air. Shun placed his cold hands inside Dai's shirt on his waist, making Dai shiver. Dai moved closer, hugging Shun tightly and kissing him hard. In his fervor, Dai unknowingly bit Shun's lower lip.

Shun let out a light "Ouch" and said, "It hurts."

Dai's eyes widened in alarm. "I'm so sorry! Let me get you some ointment."

Shun shook his head, smiling. "It's fine. Just sleep."

Dai felt bad and apologized again. "If you want me to forgive you, there's a way," Shun said.

"What is it?" Dai asked, curious.

Shun moved closer and bit Dai's ear playfully. Dai gave a light "Ouch" and then smiled. They laughed together, their voices blending harmoniously. They cuddled each other, the warmth of their bodies and the sound of their laughter filling the room as they drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Dai woke up first but didn't move, not wanting to wake Shun. He watched Shun's peaceful face, admiring the way his lashes rested against his cheeks and the soft rhythm of his breathing. After some time, Shun opened his eyes and saw Dai looking at him. "Good morning," Shun said sleepily.

Dai gave a light peck on Shun's cheek. "Good morning."

Dai noticed the bite mark on Shun's lips and felt a pang of guilt. "I'm sorry about that mark," he said softly.

Shun smiled reassuringly. "It's okay."

They got ready and went downstairs to have breakfast with everyone. They greeted Mei and the others warmly. Mei noticed the bite mark on Shun's lips and asked, "Is that a bug again? You should be really careful, Shun."

Shun glanced at Dai and smiled. "Okay."

Kenji, sitting beside Dai, hummed. "Is that your deed?" he whispered.

Dai gave a guilty smile and said nothing.

During breakfast, the group discussed their plans for the day.
