Your Addiction Is My Pleasure

Step 3: Remove All Distractions

“I said give me your phone, Akanishi-san.” The doctor uttered in a soft tone, even if he wanted to roll his eyes at the other man’s puzzled expression. When the latter still didn’t react, he took a deep breath and proceeded with his explanation. “Many distractions and temptations for a patient lies in their phonebook. Especially in your case, under the names of all the girls you may know…” he paused for a dramatic effect, and then continued, still eyeing the man. “… or the guys you have around you. Now please pass me the phone, Akanishi-san.” He now made a signaling motion with his hand, eyebrows quirked while waiting.

“But that doesn’t make any sense.” Jin pouted, pondering on the doctor’s words for a bit. “I could easily find someone in a bar or on the street…” he frowned as the man’s accusatory look intensified. “And I’m not gay!” he almost spat, but brought his hand to his jeans’ pocket, to retrieve the object.

“Thank you.” Kazuya let out with a soft smile. “No one said you were gay. I just stated a fact, because I know how these things work.” He took the device and after a moment of figuring out how it worked, he deleted his patient’s phonebook without another glance. “Done. Now please delete all your mails and addresses you still have there.” He handed the phone to his patient and paced to his desk, this time sitting behind it with a curious expression.

“I still don’t get it. How is this supposed to help me?” Jin asked, but did as he was told. He was starting to question this whole thing, suspecting it might be one of Ryo’s sick jokes meant to ruin his life. How was he going to live without his contacts?

“It’s simple. As long as you have those contacts, it’s an easy call. Most of the people you slept with once, they’ll easily agree to do it again. It’s tempting for you, to just press a button and know for sure you’ll get what you want.” Kazuya explained while picking out a sheet to make his patient a new chart. “While having none might make you consider going out and picking some random girl in a bar or on the street as you said.” He continued, still not eyeing the man who was now closing the distance between them, pacing through the office.

When he was right in front of the desk, Jin pocketed his cell phone and placing both of his hands on the rim of it, he leaned closer. “But what about you? You might be considered a temptation also.” Jin said, a tint of mischief in his eyes. He was telling the truth, after all. He barely knew the guy for about 10 minutes and was having the hardest time restraining himself already.

“I’m afraid I can’t help you with that.” Kazuya finally lifted his head to meet the man’s burning gaze. His eyes looked bigger, more beautiful up close. “You can always look for another specialist. It’s your choice after all.” He replied sternly, not a single fiber of his body betraying the admiration he started to feel for the man’s looks and boldness.

“Yeah, that might be a solution.” He retorted, running a frustrated hand through his fluffy locks. Except it wasn’t the solution he wanted. Maybe the masochistic side of him surfaced or maybe he had a death wish, but he didn’t want to give up right now. He didn’t need another doctor, as long as he could still see more of Kamenashi-sensei.

“Look, I should feel flattered that you feel attracted to me even if you’re not gay, but I know it’s just your addiction messing with your judgment.” Kazuya pointed out, licking his lips as to emphasize his words. “But you came here seeking my help. And I need to know if you are 100% certain you can put up with my methods. If you are ready to do this, to get rid of this addiction.” He ended with an expected look on his face.

“That’s why I came here.” Jin let out a little bit hesitant.

“Good, then I need you to answer a few questions and tell me exactly how these urges manifest.” Not that he hasn’t already experienced himself, Kazuya thought; but that was the standard procedure. “I need you to do as I say in order to achieve the best results possible.” He informed, starting to fill the chart with the basic information he already knew.
