Mighty Long Fall

Chapter 2: Snowstorm Day 2

Author's Note:
There's gonna be some smut at the end of this chapter, heads up.
Anyway, don't test anything mentioned in the chapter to survive a snowstorm. Except the 'stay sober' thing. Apparently getting drunk in cold temperatures can be dangerous.
Obligatory I own nothing, they're straight, yada yada.

Taka was woken up by the sun the next morning. It was shining bright in the room. Taka felt Toru still spooning him when he woke up. He turned himself around, facing the still sleeping man in front of him, his arm loosely around Taka's waist.
Toru looked so peaceful sleeping, thought Taka as he stared at Toru's face.
"Why are you staring at me?" Asked Toru as he slowly got up. Taka had woken him up by turning over, but didn't feel like getting out of bed. Because Toru knew, usually he had a problem in the morning. A problem that Taka had last night. He was so ruthless to Taka the night before, there was no way Taka wouldn't make double the boner jokes.
"I wasn't, just making sure you didn't freeze to death in the night" responded Taka, almost too sweetly it worried Toru.
"Anyway, thank you for the lovely night last night Toru, I think I'll go home now and forget about it" Taka said as he got out of bed and looked outside. It was still freezing inside the apartment, the power probably wasn't back on. The snow on the ground looked to be swallowing up entire vehicles. There was no way he'd be able to make it home anytime soon.
"I think we're snowed in..." Taka said as he looked down to Toru, who was still in bed.
Taka felt like he was freezing, he wanted so desperately to get back into the warm bed. But he really did not feel like laying down next to Toru. For the first time since he was 10, he had no morning wood. He didn't want to take his chances.
"I'm gonna go shower..." Taka said as he thought about how warm it was last night.
Toru gave him a weird look, but Toru wanted Taka to leave him alone for a few minutes so he could deal with the problem between his legs.
Taka left the room as Toru went to deal with it. He was worried Taka would soon realise there was no hot water and interrupt him. So he got to work quickly, hearing the sound of the shower. Then thought about Taka getting into the shower, he tried to get the thought of a naked Taka out of his head quickly, but realised he didn't really hate the idea of jerking off to Taka.
Then he saw Taka walk back into the room, still in Toru's boxers. Toru quickly pulled the covers over him, cursing that he didn't have boxers on. Taka looked pissed.
"How was your shower?" Toru laughed.
"Cold. Your hot water's broken" responded Taka as he got under the covers, shivering.
Toru began praying Taka wouldn't notice he was completely naked.
"it's not broken Taka, how do you think water gets hot?" Asked Toru, waiting for Taka to clue in.
"Hot water heaters, everyone knows that" responded Taka, as if that was the dumbest question he's ever heard.
"And how do hot water heaters work?"
"No one fucking knows that. They just do" responded Taka, still not cluing in.
"Ok, here's an easier question. How are hot water heaters powered?" Asked Toru, emphasising the word "power"
Taka clued in and threw a pillow at Toru, who was still laughing.
Toru had almost completely forgot he was naked until he felt Taka get closer.
"I'm fucking freezing, share the body heat" he said as he cuddled up next to Toru.
Toru felt himself turn red, staring at the wall, hoping maybe Taka hadn't noticed he was naked.
Taka put his arm around Toru, mirroring how Toru had warmed him up last night.
"What the..." Taka said as he felt his hand brush against something hard under the covers, in front of Toru.
"Don't fucking grope me" yelled Toru as he tried to climb over Taka to get out of the bed and out of the room. Except naturally, he lost balance and fell face down on Taka, who was looking straight back at Toru. Their faces were obscenely close, and Toru thought about how he had just accidentally tried jerking it off to Taka minutes ago.
"Get off me you perv" yelled Taka as he pushed Toru off the bed.
Toru fell on the ground with a thud, his boner on full display in front of Taka.
Taka debated helping him up, but he didn't even want to think about Toru's hard dick, suddenly realising his was hard as well. Taka rolled himself over and threw his head against the pillow, trying to think of all the ways to make it go down.
He noticed Toru get up and leave the room. Taka prayed he would be a while, as he found a box of kleenex and tried jerking himself off. He was trying to make himself think of women, random girls he had hooked up with, but he kept coming back to when he accidentally touched Toru's dick, when Toru was naked on top of him, how he almost debated kissing him, before pushing him off and throwing him to the ground. He had fallen on the ground, his dick still long and hard. Taka imagined a fantasy world where he had actual balls, and offered Toru help back on the bed and Toru fucked him, when he noticed back in reality, Toru was now standing in the doorway, Taka realised he had his hand in his boxers, or Toru's boxers rather, and he was definitely just caught red handed.
"Sorry..." Toru muttered as he noticed he was accidentally staring, and left the room after grabbing a sweater.
Taka sighed, unsure if he should continue jerking himself off to Toru, or just go back to sleep and hopefully forget about the situation. Taka knew he'd be unable to sleep with his boner, and decided to just finish himself off, clean up, then fall back asleep in Toru's bed. He never managed to fall back asleep, confused about his feelings. Did he actually like Toru, or was he just attracted sexually to Toru? He thought if he had gotten snowed in at a girl's house, they would have probably had sex. But did he even want to have sex with Toru? Taka figured it didn't really matter, since Toru would never return feelings, and he would never tell Toru. Ever. Taka wondered what Toru was currently doing, then he smelt burning. Was Toru trying to make a fire to keep the house warm? Taka figured he was smarter than that, until he heard Toru begin swearing like a mad man.
He got himself out of bed, put Toru's clothes back on, and went to go see what Toru had lit on fire.
"What the hell are you doing..." asked Taka as he entered the smoke-filled kitchen.
"Trying to make rice..." responded Toru, standing in front of the gas stove.
Taka walked over to the stove to investigate and sighed heavily. "How the fuck do you not know how to cook rice?"
"I've never cooked it on a stove top, but, the rice cooker requires electricity" Toru responded, kind of embarrassed about his cooking skills.
"You're a fucking idiot" Taka muttered as he removed the pot from the burner, which was turned to high. "You don't cook rice on high, what kind of Japanese person doesn't know that"
"The type of Japanese person who owns a rice cooker" Toru laughed at his answer, as he watched Taka grab another pot. "It has to boil, right? You have to turn it on high to boil it..."
"How long have you been boiling it?" asked Taka as he measured out the rice.
"I don't know, 20 minutes maybe?" Toru responded. "I think my rice cooker takes 30 minutes typically"
"You don't fucking boil it for 20 minutes you idiot. You boil it, then turn it way the fuck down to avoid burning it to your pot" Taka said, pointing to how Toru's pot was probably ruined with burnt on rice.
Taka grabbed another pot from where he got the first pot, filled it with water and began boiling it.
"Are you going to make me a full breakfast, Taka? You should sleep over more often if you do this every morning" Toru joked.
Taka debated smacking the pot in Toru's face, but he didn't really want to hurt Toru, at least not permanently. "We're never having a sleep over like that again" responded Taka as he sat down at the table.
"Stop being so sensitive, it's not like we had sex. We literally just slept" Toru spat out.
Taka flinched at the thought of having sex with Toru, as he stood up to see if his pots were boiling yet. He turned the rice one down, looked at the time on his watch, and went to grab some coffee and two mugs.
"Besides, the snow is still really bad. And it's still falling. You'll probably have to stay here again tonight" Toru informed Taka.
"I'll sleep on the couch" said Taka as he poured the boiled water through the filter.
"You'll freeze to death" Toru reminded Taka.
"Why the fuck are you so obsessed with freezing to death?" shot back Taka.
"It's -20 outside, Taka. There's no heat in this apartment. It's barely insolated. You will freeze to death" Toru explained
"I'll wear a winter coat on the couch, and two pairs of pants. Sleep with a hot water bottle. I'm not getting back into bed with you again" Taka spat out, realising how rude that sounded. Toru was looking back at him dumbfounded as Taka handed him a mug.
"Is this because you accidentally touched my dick this morning?" laughed Toru.
Taka had finally gotten that out of his head when of course Toru had to bring it up.
"It's fine, I've already forgotten about it. You don't have to apologise for being such a pervert" Toru continued joking.
"You're the one who fucking straddled me whilst naked" spat back Taka, who clearly did not find this funny. The two men drank coffee in silence as Taka looked at his watch. It had been almost 20 minutes, so he went to go find some bowls for the rice. He took the rice off the burner and let it sit for a few minutes before dishing out some for him and Toru.
Toru thanked him for the rice and coffee, and then silence fell on them again as they ate.
Taka finished first and got up to wash the dishes by hand. The water was fucking freezing, and so was the apartment.
"Don't worry about the dishes, Taka. I can do them when the power's back up" Toru said as he put his own dishes on the counter. "You're going to get frostbite, here" Toru wrapped up Taka's smaller hands in his hands.
"Your hands are also cold" Taka joked. Toru removed his hands and went to the front hall of his apartment.
"Here you go then" Toru handed Taka some hand warmers.
"Thanks" Taka said as he sat on the couch, watching Toru as he sat beside him.
The silence in the room was deafening.
"Can we just forget about last night, and this morning?" asked Toru, addressing the elephant in the room. Toru couldn't figure out why Taka was being so awkward around him, usually they'd be joking with each other or generally being rowdy boys.
Taka looked up at Toru and nodded. Taka really did want to forget about everything. The weird feelings he had for Toru, how he had pleasured himself thinking of Toru, the whole thing made him feel rotten.
They talked to each other about the weather, the band, future plans and all that when they heard the phone ring. Taka had completely forgotten that landlines were a thing, but felt weirdly grateful they would have access to the outside world as both their phones were dead.
Toru got up to answer it, Ryota was on the other end so Toru put it on speaker.
"Hey Toru, have you heard from Taka today? Tomoya said on the news some 25 year old man froze to death in the area of Taka's apartment. They found him this morning, but think he may have been there all night. Neither of us can get through to his landline or cell phone. Both of us are snowed in, unable to open our doors. Can you check on him maybe?" Toru kept trying to cut off the bassist, but never got a chance.
"I'm fine" said Taka, now standing behind Toru. "I'm at Toru's, I thought we were going to have a writing session here last night. My phone died almost as soon as I got here, sorry for the worry"
Taka could hear a sigh of relief on the other side of the phone. "You could have at least told us you're ok, or charged your phone so you could see you have 50 missed calls between Tomo and I"
"There's no power at my house. It's been down since around 8 last night. My phone's also dead, and my door is also probably blocked" Toru piped up.
"Do you have power?" Taka asked, wanting Ryota to google when the storm would end.
"Yea, why?"
"When will the snow melt, do you know?" asked Taka, wanting desparately to be back in his own apartment.
"The snow's supposed to stop tonight, and it'll probably warm up tomorrow afternoon and begin to melt" responded Ryota.
"Fucking great..." Taka muttered, thinking how he would have to spend an entire day and night with Toru.
"Did you say something Taka? I didn't catch that" Ryota asked on the other end.
"He said he was fucking excited to spend a great day and night with me" Toru responded, laughing. He thought Taka had gotten over the awkwardness, but maybe he hadn't completely.
"Well, I won't keep you guys from having a nice day then.  Write some good songs for us" Ryota said before hanging up.
Taka walked to the front entrance to grab his notepad and pen from his coat pocket then sat down beside Toru who had his guitar out.
Taka scribbled like a mad man at his notepad.
"Didn't take you long to get started" Toru said as he noticed Taka scribbling.
"My favourite writing pen won't fucking work" Taka said as he continued trying to force it.
"The ink is probably frozen, here's a pencil" Toru said as he handed Taka a pencil.
Taka stared at his notepad, unable to think of any lyrics. He had a million thoughts in his head, but no actual lyrics. He began writing random thoughts on the page and tried humming, hoping a melody would come out of nowhere. He looked up at Toru staring at him.
"Am I the only one going to be writing today? Play some chords or some shit" Taka said as he pointed to the guitar.
"My fingers are really cold, it kinda hurts to play. You have any good lyrics?" Asked Toru as he tried to grab the notepad from Taka.
"Don't read them" said Taka, trying to grab his notebook.
"Why? Aren't they for the band?" Asked Toru.
Taka knew if he actually wrote lyrics he would have to show Toru and begrudgingly handed the paper over.
"There's no actual lyrics, just random thoughts. I can't think of a melody either" Taka admitted as Toru was looking at his words.
"Are you trying to write a love song?" Asked Toru, noting all the random words and phrases Taka had written down.
"No, I was just writing down random things" Taka said as he grabbed the paper back.
"Who is she?" asked Toru as he put the guitar down and sat beside Taka on the couch.
"Who is who?" Taka asked, not understanding the question.
"You were in the midst of writing a love song, about who?" Toru asked.
"No one. I wasn't even writing a song, I already told you. I was just writing random ideas" Taka replied, not wanting to admit he was kind of thinking of Toru.
"Your hands are red, maybe we should just call off this whole writing thing and hang out" Toru said, noting how cold Taka's hands looked.
Taka nodded, and then went over to the fridge.
"There's no power, Taka. Everything in the fridge has probably gone bad by now" Toru said, wondering why Taka would even think about it.
"It's a snowstorm, the entire apartment is a fucking fridge you idiot. Besides, beer doesn't go bad. Want one?" he pulled two out and offered one to Toru.
"It's 1pm Taka, why are you drinking so early?" Toru asked, suddenly worrying Taka had become a secret alcoholic.
"What's the point of being snowed in all day if you don't day drink?" asked Taka, as he watched Toru open his beer. "Besides, the alcohol will warm us up"
"That's not how that works, Taka. It works the opposite way actually..." Toru informed Taka.
"That's a lie Toru, everyone knows that drinking makes you feel warm" Taka replied
"Yea, you feel warm. But your body isn't actually warm, you don't realise how cold you are, and you freeze to death" Toru tried reasoning with Taka.
"Maybe I'll write a song called 'Toru's kink is freezing to death'" Taka joked
"That's not my kink Taka, that's a fear. Why would anyone get turned on by fear? Unless that's you, Taka?" Toru joked.
Taka remembered the night before, when he had a massive boner. He remembered hoping it would go down, and the only thing that accomplished that was when he was alone and terrified after Toru left him.
"No, I'm not some kind of sexual deviant freak" laughed Taka.
"Sure you're not" Toru gave Taka a knowing smile.
Both men continued drinking all day, until they realised they accidentally drank all of Toru's beer.
Taka made them both instant ramen for dinner, although he realised it was almost midnight and they should probably just go to bed.
Right, bed, Taka thought to himself as he slurped up the ramen. Was he still planning on sleeping on the couch with his winter coat? He really just wanted to cuddle up with Toru again.
He looked up at Toru who looked even sleepier than usual.
"You look exhausted" Taka said out loud, and Toru nodded then yawned.
"Wanna go to bed now?" Toru asked as he looked at Taka who nodded.
Taka followed Toru into his bedroom. "I thought you were going to sleep on the couch tonight?" Toru looked over at Taka who had started to remove his clothes. "I believe you said you would wear a winter coat and a couple pairs of pants?" Toru said, thinking Taka looked almost offended.
"I thought that would cause me to freeze to death?" Taka noticed his words were beginning to slur as he laid down in Toru's bed beside him.
"Careful, you may turn me on. I heard that's my kink" Toru joked about earlier.
Taka put his head on the pillow, realising Toru had accidentally turned him on, with his low voice whispering right into his ear.
"Stop using your bedroom voice, jesus" Taka said as he tried to fall asleep and ignore the problem between his legs.
"Why? Is it turning you on?" Toru joked as he propped his head on his hand.
"No it's just creepy" Taka responded, as he turned to face the opposite direction.
"I think you like it" Toru said, as he noticed his words were slurring.
"You're drunk, go to sleep" Taka responded when he felt Toru wrap his arm around him. Taka silently prayed this would not be a repeat of the night before, when he felt Toru begin to kiss the back of his neck.
Taka froze, what the fuck was Toru doing. Maybe he was so drunk he thought Taka was a girl? Should he push Toru off him, or just go with it? How far would Toru want to go, and how far was Taka willing? He pushed his confusing thoughts out of his head when he noticed Toru was now sucking on Taka's earlobe, causing him to let out a soft moan.
"What the hell are you doing?" Taka said as he turned around to face Toru.
"I felt like kissing your ear, is that so wrong?" Toru asked, "you weren't complaining about it 5 seconds ago, it sounded like you enjoyed it, actually"
"It was an involuntary reaction. I'm drunk and forgot it was a man kissing me, not a woman" responded Taka, even though he knew full well Toru was the man kissing him.
"but you liked it when you thought it was a woman kissing you" Toru said, looking at Taka.
Taka sighed, looking up at his friend. Why was he pushing this.
"C'mon Taka, what's a few kisses between friends..." Toru said as he stroked Taka's face.
Taka could practically taste the beer on Toru's breath, their faces were so close. Or was it the beer on his own breath? Taka wasn't really sure. But he knew they were both very drunk. Taka noticed Toru's forehead resting on his, unsure if he should push Toru off him. He could feel his breathing getting heavier, as he noticed, almost in slow motion, Toru moving his face closer to Taka's. Toru's lips briefly touched Taka's as he gently pushed Taka onto his back. Taka couldn't tell if he was too tired to push Toru off him, or if he did secretly want this. Toru put his hand on Taka's cheek, still staring at Taka square in the eyes. Toru lowered his head, placing his lips on Taka's again. Toru felt Taka's tongue pushing its way into Toru's mouth. Toru opened his mouth to receive it, and also began exploring Taka's mouth with his tongue.
Taka felt the pressure of Toru on top of him, between his legs. They were already both in their boxers, Taka could feel Toru also had a boner.
Toru began letting his hands wander down Taka's body, noticing they were both already hard. Toru started kissing Taka's neck, causing Taka to moan loudly.
Taka felt toru's hand on his dick, feeling him through the fabric, causing him to moan even more.
"You like this?" Toru asked, his mouth right by Taka's ear. He saw Taka nod and he decided to slide off Taka's boxers. Toru felt Taka reach down to take off Toru's boxers. Toru moaned when he felt Taka put a hand around his penis and began pumping it. Toru began pressing his hips against Taka, trying to create the friction he wanted so desperately.
"Do you want to have sex?" Toru asked breathlessly, looking straight down at Taka. He had really only planned on kissing Taka, maybe rub him off or something. But he wasn't expecting to like kissing Taka so much.
Taka was still looking up at Toru, almost in disbelief Toru would even ask that. He had fantasized about it the previous day... and that morning... but there was something about Toru saying it so directly that turned Taka on as he nodded his head. He saw Toru reach over to the night stand and grab condoms and lube.
Toru kissed Taka again as he put some lube on his fingers and felt taka's entrance. He felt Taka tense up a bit, and tried to reassure him by stroking his hair and biting his lower lip. He inserted a finger into Taka, causing Taka to jolt for a second. When he felt Taka begin to relax and moan a bit, he inserted another finger. He heard Taka gasp at that and bury his head into Toru's chest as Toru began making a scissor movement. Taka looked up at Toru, who kissed him and then pulled his fingers out.
He grabbed the condom that was on the night table and rolled it onto himself. He rolled Taka onto his front and squirted lots of lube where his fingers had just been and went to mount Taka.
"You ready?" Toru asked, whispering into Taka's ear.
"Yea, be gentle.." Taka said as he felt Toru thrust into him, causing him to cry out in pain. Or cry out in pleasure, Taka wasn't really sure.
Toru was thrusting relentlessly as Taka was moaning loudly, and occasionally whimpering or panting. Taka felt Toru push on a sensitive area he didn't know existed, causing himself to scream out and bury his head in the pillow. He felt Toru grab his dick, and rubbed it. Taka was almost crying in pleasure, as he felt himself cum all over Toru's bed. Toru slowed down as he too came inside of Taka. Taka collapsed as Toru pulled out of him, placing the condom on the table.
Toru laid back down beside Taka, putting his arm around him. "You ok?" Toru asked as he noticed Taka had tears in his eyes.
"Yea, it just hurt a bit" Taka said as he rested his head on Toru's chest, falling asleep as Toru kissed Taka's forehead.

A/n: I feel creepy as fuck having written that, and posting it online, oh boy. Also apparently Tokyo has literally never experienced -20 kind of weather but the actual record of -9 wouldn't make for as many freeze to death jokes.
