Tough Love

Chapter 6

As Ban rested against the door to slow his heart rate down and waited for his face to cool down, he was still picturing Shido in the room naked. Which in turn made his face heat up again.

"Wow that was more Shido then I wanted to see…."

Ban thought as he shook his head to try and get the image out of his head but for some reason it kept coming back. Meanwhile in the room Shido was finished getting changed, grabbed his towel, Ban's cigs, and went to leave the room to try and find his lover. But as he opened the door he didn't realize that Ban was standing next to it so he fell into the room on the floor landing on his back with his face facing the ceiling. Shido looked down at the Snake man and had a worried look on his face.

"Ban? Are you all right? Why were you standing next to the door?"

Ban looked up at his boyfriend with a bright red face and turned away as he got up slowly, his face hidden from view.

"Y-Yea I-I-I'm fine I uh…well…just wanted to know if you knew where my cigs where so…."

Shido handed a pack to his stuttering lover and went to caress his cheek but Ban moved away from the touch. Shido wasn't surprised to see Ban act that way but still felt hurt.

"Ban what's the matter?"

(Silence)

"Ban?"

"…I-I-I'm sorry for walking in on you without knocking while you where changing, I didn't mean to…I'm sorry….I'll go now."

Ban turned toward the door and went to leave but stopped when he felt arms wrap around his waist. Ban stiffened for a minute but relaxed when he felt soft lips kiss his cheek and neck and continue down his collarbone to his shoulder. Ban shuddered at the intimate touch as his breath caught in his throat.

"Sh-Sh-Shido…."

"Ban I'm not made at you for walking in on me…."

Shido whispered in his ear as he licked the earlobe. Ban moaned softly as Shido continued his teasing on his boyfriend's ears, neck, and shoulder.

"But…y-you shou-should be….I- AHHH!"

Ban exclaimed as he felt Shido nip at his collarbone. Shido then licked and kissed the spot he nipped.

"I'm not mad Ban maybe I wanted you to see me like that did you ever think that hmm…."

Shido said as he went back to teasing Ban's body. He then slowly took his hand and put it on Ban's naked chest and rubbed his nipples til they were erect and hard. Ban almost screamed from the sensation he was feeling and he felt his shorts get suddenly tight.

"N-N-No of course I-I-I-I didn't…..I-

"BAN! SHIDO! LUNCH IS READY!"

Shido and Ban froze in their actions as they heard Ginji's voice calling them from downstairs.

"I guess we should head down then huh?"

Ban said as he stared at Shido and blushed as his heart rate went back down to normal, along with his face color. Shido on the other hand just smiled down at him and softly kissed Ban's head.

"Sigh….yea I guess we should before Ginji decides to send a search party after us."

Shido said with a little disappointment in his voice. Ban just shook his head and headed for the door. Shido followed him but before they left the room to head downstairs he grabbed a shirt, pants, and the same thing for Ban from his bag. He then took his lovers hand and they walked down the stairs hand in hand, all the while with a blushing Ban next to him.

As they arrived in the kitchen they saw that the whole table was full of food waiting to be eaten. Ban was surprised and drooling at all the delicious food. Shido just smiled and shook his head at his lover's reaction.

"Wow look at all the food….I'm starving.."

"Well it seems that you too finally decided to join us."

Shido and Ban turned their attention to the voice that came from the hallway. Akabane walked out of the hallway and into the kitchen.

"What's that supposed to mean Jackel?"

Ban asked as he glared at the man who was taking his share of the food. Akabane smirked at him and grabbed a drink from the fridge before answering.

"Oh nothing Ban-san I just thought you two took your sweet time coming down, even though Ginji made all this food for you and everything."

Ban's eyes went huge as did Shido's.

"GINJI COOKED ALL THIS!"

They said together. Akabane nodded and left the room to go sit in the dinning room where Ginji was already sitting and eating his food. Ban and Shido ran after Akabane to make sure they heard him right, and when they arrived in the dinning room they noticed Ginji there as well.

"G-Ginji is it true that you made all that food that is on the kitchen table?"

Ban asked. Ginji looked up from his plate of food, smiled, and nodded in agreement.

"Wow that is amazing Ginji I never knew you could cook."

Shido said as he looked at his friend then at the table of food behind them. Ban just nodded his agreement to the statement.

"Well it wasn't to hard I had Akabane to help…. but anyway you two are probably starving so why don't you go and eat some of the food I made plenty."

Ginji smiled at his friends as they both nodded and ran back to the kitchen to get their plate of food to enjoy.

"I think its great that Ban and Shido-chan are together don't you think so Akabane?"

Ginji said as he sighed happily watching his friends gather their food. Akabane smiled at his lover from across the table.

"Yes I agree Ginji-kun and I think they enjoy their private time together as well too."

"Huh…what do you mean Akabane-kun?"

"Well….let's just say that Ban's face was bright red when they came down the stairs."

Ginji thought about it for a minute but finally got it.

"Oh I got it now so you're saying that they had sex."

Akabane was about to say something but Ban's voice cut him off.

"Who had sex?"

Ginji turned his attention to his friends that finally returned from getting food.

"You and Shido just like me and Akabane do."

Shido and Ban looked at each other. Then back to Ginji.

"WHAT!
