Chapter 7 ~ A Love like none before
************************************

The hour drive home from Mani's parents was a fairly quiet one to some
degree, Mani listened to the disk his brother Nye had made him while Aikrii
sang to the tunes, and making funny dirty notions to some of the lyrics in
the songs, Making Mani laugh repeatedly.

"Hey want a coffee?" he asked as they pulled into downtown Curre.

Aikrii looked around debating, "Sure" he said "How about from Jays?"

"Ok" Mani maneuvered the Mustang into Jays parking lot and stepped out of
the car. He went to Aikrii's door and opened it for him taking his hand as
he stepped out.

"I'm going to start feeling like some papered little prince at this rate,"
he said laughing as they strolled arm and arm into Jays.

They found a corner booth and waited for the waitress to show. When she did
they ordered their drinks and asked for some apple pie as well.

"What do you want for your birthday? Turning sixteen is suppose to be a big
deal, was for me;" he looked at Aikrii and smiled waiting to see what he
was going to say.

"Family and friends around me" he said. "That's a starter, and maybe some
new clothes."

"Fair enough" Mani said, "I think we can swing that."

Aikrii looked at Mani and said, "Ok you know my birthday is on April
Fifteenth, when's yours?"

Mani smiled, "A ways away yet, mine passed already, on the fourteenth of
February"

Aikrii was grinning like crazy now, it made Mani wonder just what that
wonderful little head had flying through it.

"Penny for your thoughts."

Aikrii looked up and said, "A Valentine's boy, you really are my heart, you
even have the red hair to boot."  He reached up and touched his hair.  Mani
caught his hand. He smiled, love flowing from every pore of his body, he
found it so hard to contain himself even in public. He grabed his wallet
and left 20 bucks on the table and walked out with Aikrii in tow who was
totally baffled at the urgency in Mani's need to leave.

"What's wrong?" he asked

"Not a thing" Mani said looking back at him grinning.

The drive to the apartment was a slow and impatient one for Mani he was so
frustrated he could scream...instead he turned up the tunes on the CD
player and stomped on the car floor making everything vibrate, Aikrii was
chuckling inside at the frazzled mess he could feel vibrating from Mani, he
knew he was frustrated he could see it in his hands, his knuckles all white
with tension as he gripped the steering wheel of the car. Aikrii decided to
go with the flow; he wasn't stupid he realized Mani wasn't mad, just
sexually frustrated, grinning he started to sing on top of his lungs.

It had been nearly 2 and a half hours since they had left Mani's parents
home and they were still stuck in traffic, but they managed to get to the
apartment and Mani hadn't wrapped the car around anything nor did he jump
poor Aikrii in the car either, much to Aikrii's disappointment, giving the
town a porn show would have been a highlight to any young gay guys
dreams. Chuckling he sauntered into the apartment and looked back at Mani
who looked a mess with his hair all sweaty and mussed up.

"Take your coat?" he asked slowly sliding it from Mani's shoulders, lightly
breathing on his neck as he did so.  He watched the red hair stand on end
near the nape of his neck as he did so, the receptive skin prickling with
goose bumps. He watched Mani shiver. Grinning he put Mani's jacket on a
hook and walked to the fridge, bringing back two Pepsi for them to
drink. He took Mani's and rubbed it across his tight belly moaning about
how warm the apartment was, and how cooling the can was, he batted his eyes
in a mock of innocents and asked if he could open a window.  Mani bit his
lip as he opened the soft drink looking at the clock on the wall. Eleven
forty seven.

"Sure open a window if you want" Mani put down his drink and escaped to the
bathroom. He splashed cold water on his face, trying to keep his wits about
himself. Mumbling to himself.

"Keep yer pants on man, still need to go slow, he's still just a
kid...rational thinking Mani old boy" he shook his head. "He slapped the
sink, who the hell was he fooling?"

"Ah fuck it!" he opened the door only to be greeted by Aikrii who was now
shirtless.

Mani grinned an evil grin; Aikrii shocked to see Mani have the look of the
preverbal cat that swallowed the canary let out an "eeped" and jumped. Mani
growled low looking at him with the hunger of a starving tiger on the
prowl.  Aikrii's eyes opened wide with awe, he knew what was comming next,
him if he had his way, he laughed in his head and decided to play with the
stalker in front of him.

Aikrii took off through the apartment like a flash laughing. Mani was in
for a challenge and if this was how Aikrii wanted things then that was fine
with Mani, he enjoyed a good game of tag anyway.

Aikrii looked at the clock it was already past twelve, he knew that's what
Mani was waiting for. He slipped into the kitchen and grabbed the bow he
had found on Friday and quickly slipped past Mani who was in the spare room
looking for him. He shucked his drawers and crawled into their bed and
stretched out, he put the bow on his belly and waited.

Mani walked back into their room confused on where Aikrii could have gotten
to, it was the sight of him laying there grinning like a Cheshire cat from
ear to eat with nothing but a bow on his belly that made him groan. He
climbed on to the bed crawled over Aikrii straddling his naked body.

"Your wearing too many clothing for this ride, please get off and try
again," Aikrii said like a robot trying hard to stifle a giggle with no
luck.

Mani looked down at Aikrii he licked his lips and smiled "Your more
entertaining than a playstation 3" He latched onto him and slyly smiled,
"See joystick and all!"

Aikrii sucked in a deep breath, having his hands around him was pure
delight. He moaned and arched encouraging Mani to play some more.Mani
leaned forward, and let Aikrii's manhood slid against his shirt-covered
body. Aikrii moaned, pulling at his shirt trying to get it off. Mani helped
him he wanted to feel his skin next to his own. Aikrii nipped and kissed
any skin he could get his lips on while Mani lost his shirt. Exposing his
nipples to the cool air in the room made them pucker which only encouraged
Aikrii to play with them, Mani sucked in sharply and moaned. He latched
onto Aikrii's manhood again stroking him in a gentle rhythm causing poor
Aikrii to pant more and more wiggling in anticipation.Mani slid sideways
off of the bed but not loosing contact and lost his drawers on the floor
with the rest of the clothing that had kept him confined. He hastily
returned to the bed and struggled to get the duvet around them both while
keeping Aikrii entertained.

Mani was excited and trying so hard to maintain some self control, he slid
down and kissed his neck working his way down towards his belly stopping to
nip lick or kiss some part of the dark tanned skin on Aikrii's beautiful
sexy body. He took Aikrii into his mouth and savored him like a
lollypop. Aikrii gasped in sheer pleasure and arched gripping the sheets
around him Mani chuckled with his mouth full and smiled to, he continued to
please Aikrii in a way Aikrii would never forget. Getting a steady rhythm
on and urging Aikrii on he brought Aikrii to an earth-shattering climax, he
yelled out Mani's name as he climaxed over the top and shuddered as he
came. He convulsed and collapsed, spent as Mani gently licked and kissed
his way back to Aikrii's lips. Mani's kisses only encouraged him to get
aroused again.

"Wow, frisky aren't we?" Mani said as he watched Aikrii grow with
enthusiasm again within minutes.  Aikrii got brave and rolled on his side
looking at Mani and kissed him, shoved against his shoulder and flipped him
on his back, he straddled him. Now it was his turn to bring Mani to his
peak and he knew just how he planned on doing that.

Mani watched his eyes as he straddled over his belly; he ran his hands down
his sides and then to the front of his midriff to the tuft of hair that
nestled above his arousal. He continued to stroke his skin and Aikrii
reached down to stroke him.  Mani gritted his teeth, trying to hold his
resolve he could feel his hot little finger wrapped around him and shifted
trying to give him easier access. Aikrii lubed up and then moved and
lowered himself over him slowly taking him into his own body, gasping as he
filled him. He was so big! Whimpering at the satisfaction of getting him
totally in place he leaned forward gasping, and rocking, giving the
rhythmic sensations Mani was feeling ten times the rippling effects, having
Aikrii on top was pretty amazing he could watch his expressions and he
loved what he saw. Mani panted and held his hips trying to slow Aikrii down
he didn't want to go off like a cap gun. Aikrii looked down into his violet
eyes and knew the effect he was having on Mani, he was enjoying it to. He
leaned forward, and whispered

"I love you" and kissed his temple and then rocked to a faster rhythm
catching Mani off guard and overwhelmed him with the rippling sensations he
was causing, Mani couldn't hold back gripping his hips he pulled down as he
arched up both let out a joyous climatic yell. Mani brinked and rocked with
Aikrii still on top, he lost it and let loose, spilling his seed into
Aikrii. Aikrii felt the warmth and shivered it felt so good. Both spent
they collapsed into each other's arms. Panting yet sated, they relaxed.

"I love you to Ki" Mani said stroking the sweaty head of Aikrii. "Happy
Birthday darlin'" he kissed him again.

Aikrii was so happy, he had what he ever wanted, he finally got to
experience the wanted unforced pleasures of loving someone. It seemed to
push all the bad that had ever happened away. He felt so free. Tonight was
a night he would treasure and cherish for a long time to come.  Mani
encouraged Aikrii to get up and go to the shower with him. The warm water
trickled over them both Mani scrubbed Aikrii's back and let him relax
against him as they swayed in the shower, listening to the radio he had in
the room playing one of the many Cd's that Nye had created, a savage garden
song was playing, "I knew I loved you" Mani kissed his neck and got a now
obviously mellowed Aikrii out of the shower. He toweled dried him off as
well as himself, he picked Aikrii up and brought him back to their bed.
Laying Aikrii down and tucking him in he sliding in beside him, reached
over and flicked the light out, Aikrii snuggled into Mani's side, and in
turn Mani wrapped a protective arm around him thinking to himself he will
never allow anyone to hurt him again if he could help it.

They both drifted off to sleep oblivious to the world playing out below
them on a street where one drunk man scorers the streets for the child he
now called a poor excuse for a son vowing to get back at the fruity little
bastard that had put him in jail for 8 months. Phillip seethed in a
drunken' rage, he knew he'd have his day.


************************************** Chapter 8 ~ Calm before the storm
**************************************

Ki awoke still warm, but alone. In a half groggy state he fumbled with
pillows and sheets to see if Mani hadn't just gotten up to use the
bathroom. Mani wasn't anywhere to be seen, but he could smell coffee and
toast. His stomach growled in protest, it wanted food now. Like the sleek
lithe god that Mani viewed him as he stretched and groaned. He didn't want
to get up but he also wanted to see Mani as well. It seemed no sooner did
he think about him he was there, materializing into the room with a tray of
food and a grin a mile wide.

Mani saw the young man lying on his sheets with only his lower half
covered, his slightly muscled mid torso rippling as he watched his
stretch. For one of slight stature Mani could see potential in the dark
complected body before him.  He mused over teaching him some self defense
classes, one way to bring out the "brawn" he had mentioned before to
Aikrii.  Mani smiled waiting for Ki to notice his presents.

"Morning sleepy head" he said when they made eye contact. "I had to get up,
I have classes to teach soon, and you looked so peaceful I couldn't wake
you."

Reaching for the tray Mani had brought to him he asked, "What time is it?"

"Nineish, why?"

"Oh just curious, I recall your mom saying lunch time they'd be here,
figured this place could use a good going over and maybe I could watch your
class before I do that." He said with a sheepish grin while scratching his
mussed brown mop.

"Sure! Come watch" Mani was pleased to hear that Aikrii was showing an
interest in what he was doing.

"As for the apartment getting cleaned, don't worry about it Cleo comes
over, she does tons of odd jobs and cleaning here is one of them, not like
it really needs it but..." He trailed off smiling.

Aikrii chuckled, he knew, now that two were here things would tend to get
left undone due to pleasurable distractions.  Remembering them wonderful
distractions made him smile again and ultimately disclosing his wantonness
thoughts. Mani chuckled once he realized why Aikrii's face turned a
wonderful shade of red.

"You need food if your going to keep your strength up my dear." he said
giving his thigh a playful squeeze. "All the exercise you seem to be so
eager to do will go unrewarded if you just pass out on me"

Aikrii damn nearly choked on those words trying to stifle back his
laughter. Mani slapped his back helping him regains his breath and
composure. Eager to start his day he stuffed a slice of toast in his mouth
and crawled over the sheets towards Mani who chuckled.

"I'm seriously going to have to put a leash on you to get you to behave
aren't I?" Mani stated backing off as Aikrii growled while chewing on the
piece of toast he had in his mouth and grinning at the same time.

Mani threw back his head laughing to beat the band. He tossed a housecoat
at Aikrii, which landed, on his cute growling head, leaving only his sleek
buttocks showing. Mani laughed even harder, and headed out of the room
calling back, "Come on Don Juan, we have a long fun day planned"

Aikrii shoved off the robe, sending it sliding to his knees to puddle into
the rest of the beds duvet covers, yelling to the now closed door.

"Hey I'm an Italian lover not a Spanish fool!"

He slid off the bed and walked his nude behind to the closet, delving
through the somewhat miss matched mass of designer and labeled clothing
Mani was well known for he found a nice outfit that suited his tastes. He
got dressed. He picked up his breakfast tray and walking to the kitchen he
whistled a tune.

Mani was surprised when he returned from the buildings laundry facilities
to see Aikrii doing dishes. Mani was also impressed at the clothing he had
picked from his array of mismatched clothing for himself as well. Dressed
in a pair of nice chocolate brown cargo pants and a lightweight deep forest
green sweater with the white shirt collar peeking out from under it he
looked older than his sixteen years. His hair was nicely brushed back from
his face showing his green eyes, the sweaters coloring making his eyes seem
darker than normal. Mani smiled leaning against the doorframe just looking
at him. Aikrii looked up to see him studying him. He blushed and smiled
drying his hands he walked over to Mani who reached for him taking him by
the waist and wrapping his arms around him. Swaying Mani looked down at him
and beamed.

"I really have to either draw you one of these days or get a camera on you,
you're just so damn cute!" His crooked grin said it all. Aikrii still not
quite use to the attention blushed again, this time so hard it reached his
ears. Mani noticed; instantaneously the reaction he was causing to Aikrii
at the very same moment there was a buzz from the lobby intercom.

Mani sighed, "Well work calls, comming over?" he asked looking at the still
red Aikrii.

"Yes." He said.

Taking his hand Mani scooped up his keys and hit the buzzer talking into
the intercom. "Yeah! Who is it?"

"It's me!" A familiar voice called back over the cracking system. Mani
reached up and flicked on a screen that showed the lower lobby. Standing in
between the security doors was Cleo. He hit the release button that buzzed
Cleo into the building. Cleo disappeared from the screens view.

"Wow," Aikrii said, "You said this place was secured, nice to see the
cameras"

"It helps" Mani said. "Now Cleo is comming to clean up a bit but we have to
go get the Kwon ready ok. Then I have something for you."

Aikrii was fine with what Mani had planned he just wanted to stick close to
him. Following him to the door he watched as he let Cleo in.  He was
pleased to see the young girl he got to meet a few times in the last few
weeks. He had learned in the last few days Cleo was not only a student of
Mani's but also his baby brother Nye's girlfriend. Cleo smiled at Aikrii
and then whistled an approving whistle. "Man you look hot!" she said making
him spin around to see the whole effect the outfit he was wearing did for
him. Aikrii wasn't use to this kind of attention; he was blushing and
feeling like an idiot.

"Ummm...thanks, they aren't mine, I borrowed them from Mani" he said
hesitating.

"Well you picked out some nice threads, I know Mani's wardrobe is in a
serious need of over hauling." It was Mani's turn to blush, scratching his
head and looking at Aikrii he explained what she had ment by her comment,
even thou it wasn't really needed.

"I was a fashion don't, I hired Cleo to clean here and she noticed the mess
I use to have for clothes. When she realized I was gay, she got more
excited than a school girl with a crush," his crooked grin of confusion
held his attention, and brought about a question.

"Why in the world does a school girl get excited over a gay guy who has no
fashion sense?" Cleo blurted out the very thing Ki was thinking.

Ki giggled, "Damn your good!"

Cleo bowed "It's my job" she said then slung her arm across Aikrii's
boyfriends shoulder looking up at him with a smug grin.

"He was hopeless, plaids like my grandpa, and bland colors that did nothing
for his complexion not to mention that gorgeous mop on his head. I did a
total over haul then took him shopping, he still needs to keep adding to
his ensemble and hasn't yet, now that your here we'll have to go out again,
soon," She said elbowing him in the ribs making Mani double over from the
ever so slight blow to his abs. She giggled at his melodramatic reaction,
"Sooo, birthday boy," she flung her arm over his shoulder this time and
walked with him away from the door and towards the living room, he looked
back at Mani who was grinning. "What's the plan for today?"

Aikrii mumbled "Nothing much"

Cleo was taken aback, "Nothing much! MANI!" she scowled at the redheaded
man trying to make a break for the kitchen to hide.

"Hey it was his idea!" Mani said holding up his hands in surrender.

Cleo looked at Aikrii "Your turning sixteen and your going to do nothing?
Oh well we can't have this..." she crossed her arms and tapped her toe
brainstorming. The buzzer from down stairs rang again. Mani went to it and
let who ever the other girl was who announced her presents in the building.

"Look, Cleo I don't know about you but classes are starting in fifteen
minutes, so you can either do a quick clean sweep now and mull over non
existent plans for a party or you can do classes and think about this
later, right now I have a job to do so come on."

He scooted a reluctant Cleo out the door and passed Aikrii who followed a
box that had some weight to it. He closed his door, and then inserted a key
into the door across the hall from his place. This was Aikrii's first time
in Mani's Studio. The place was HUGE! it was divided into two sections, one
end had a white walled area with a large Mirror on the wall from floor to
ceiling Cleo hurried off to a room to the right of the Mirrored wall. Mani
pointed out that those were the dressing rooms; he directed him to the one
on the left room and told him to put on what was in the box.  Aikrii did as
he was told; comming out he looked at his slender frame in the looming
mirror and was shocked to see how dark his skin was compared to the white
outfit he was now wearing. When he looked for Mani he was even more
shocked, standing before him in a red V-neck Ta kwon do instructors'
uniform was the love of his life. The outfit made him look so menacing, yet
hot! He smiled; he was looking forward to this.

The class started out with Mani introducing him to everyone. Aikrii then
learned that the studio where Mani taught his students was called a dojang
even thou half of it was his class and the other half was his photo
studio. Then he was shown the basics Chon-Ji Tul for the beginners, Mani
walking him through all the steps. He was also informed of Hosinsul the
self-defense part of the class. He was told he would have to practice a lot
in order to be fluid in his movements.  He thought this place was pretty
amazing. The warm ups were easy enough and he got to watch a few of Mani's
students in action. Cleo and Chev were both amazing fighters. He was
impressed at how they were able to defend themselves without really hurting
anyone, Mani called it the circular technique and it looked so smooth. He
informed Aikrii it would take him a lot of practice and a lot of work to
get to that stage, Cleo was part of his class now for the last year and she
was still learning. He enjoyed himself during the class, even if he got a
few smacks learning would help him defend himself later if he needed to and
this was a good way to learn, in an environment where he trusted the
instructor.

Mani was pleased to see Aikrii enjoying himself throughout the classes and
even Cleo had noticed his cheerful nature.  When the class dispersed only
Mani, Cleo, Aikrii and Chev were left. Chev and Aikrii spoke briefly before
Cleo popped in and asked if Chev could call her brother.

"What for?" she asked.

"I want to borrow something from him" she giggled, "There's a birthday boy
here who needs some good tunes"

Chev looked over at Aikrii and shook her head yes to Cleo's request; they
both ran off to the phone. Mani looked over to Aikrii.

"So I see your enjoying yourself"

"Oh most definitely!" he exclaimed grinning, "So what's next?" he asked
with the air of joy still in his voice.

"How about some shopping?" he asked Aikrii.

An eyebrow shot up in a questioning look, "Shopping? What for?"

"Clothes silly, for one, and some grub for everyone, I only got a few
things the last time I was out and we're running low"

"Everyone? Who's all comming anyway?" Aikrii wanted to know.

"Well my parents for one, I assume Nye and Cleo will pop over since Nye
doesn't go anywhere without her, did you invite your mom?"

Aikrii slapped his forehead, How utterly dumb of him, again he was off
track. The response Mani seen was enough to tell him he was glad he called
Marie and told her what was going on. The planed surprise party was going
off without a hitch.  He smiled at the though of Aikrii's reaction. He
looked at him and shrugged his shoulders.

"Don't worry about it we have plenty of time, you can call her when we get
home ok" Mani put his arm over his shoulder, "Besides it's been a
distracting last few days."

Everyone got changed back into his or her street clothes, and Cleo got the
spare apartment keys from Aikrii since he was going to be with Mani
shopping and she told Mani she'd get the apartment spick and span before
they got back. He chuckled knowingly.

"I'm sure you will" He gently lead Aikrii to the carport and they headed
off.

"I thought you were a fashion disaster?" Aikrii quoted Cleo's earlier
remarks about Mani's ability to accessorize male attire properly.

"I maybe but it's apparent your not." he said as he ran his finger down the
white color of the shirt that peeked from under the hunter green sweater
Aikrii was wearing.  "I'm sure you'll manage to get something outstanding
to wear, hell if I get my way, I'll get you to start buying my outfits, I'm
an artist, I have an eye for things but clothes aren't my strong suit"

Aikrii chortled at the honest comment. Mani was right, when it came to
fashion sense, Mani had a nice wardrobe and all but his coordinating skills
lacked severely. They pulled into the mall parking lot, Mani taking the
ticket from the parking meter and placing it in his upper breast
pocket. Then took Aikrii's hand and they walked into the mall. Aikrii had
been here a few times but the place had changed since last time when he was
here. Looking around he saw Jump Street and pulled Mani in the direction of
the clothing shop. The Sales guy on counter was Josh from Aikrii's
programming courses over at St. Stephens.

"Oh my god! If it isn't the Italian stallion himself!" he crooned walking
over to Aikrii and winking at him and fussing over his clothing, Aikrii
knew Josh well, he was after all, one of the first people Aikrii trusted
and had told he was gay to. Josh had encouraged him to be more open but it
wasn't the best time back then with his dad drinking so much. It was Josh's
showing up at his house that had gotten Aikrii beaten so badly by his
dad. He never blamed Josh for what happened, wasn't his fault at all his
dad just knew who Josh was, and he had this nasty out look on gay guys.
Aikrii gleamed and gave the ever feminine Josh a slug in the arm "Come on
now, stop the fussing!" he laughed.

Josh jumped "Oh my, such a man, you brute" he playfully girly slapped
Aikrii and asked him how he was doing.

Aikrii grinned like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland proudly
introduced Mani to Josh. Josh being the girly guy he was squealed like a
teen girl with a crush on a rock star.

Giggling at his reaction Aikrii joked, "Gee Josh don't wet your panties!"

"But he's famous around here, and such a cutie" He said in a loud whisper,
over hearing Aikrii's friends statement, it was now Mani's turn to
blush. "En chanter!" Josh said curtseying in front of Mani while holding
his offered hand for a handshake.

"Well Aikrii your friend here is sure enthuastic" he said.

Ki grinned, "You wanted to know why I dress properly here's my reason, Mani
this is Josh, one of the first people I ever outted myself to he's a good
friend and damn good at dressing up people regardless of who they are.

"Oh do I get a new mannequin to play with?" Josh asked holding his hands
under his chin grinning like a child eager to find out if he got what he
wanted for Christmas.

As much as Aikrii was enjoying the enthusiasm of his friend he had to
disappoint him, "Sorry not today, but soon, right now I'm trying to get a
few new pieces of clothing, I'm staying at Mani's and I need new duds, but
I'm looking for something comfortable and sturdy. I'll be needing something
dressy for my presentation to the International Institute for the Blind for
the programming software I am almost done, you wouldn't believe how far I
got behind since all the excitement around me in the last 3 weeks."

"Oh! Don't I know about the excitement, Chet is all mopie since he heard
your wonderful man there was no longer single," Josh went on about "You
should see him he's like a dog that's been drowned, serves the bitch right
to considering he just uses people" Aikrii was stunned to hear Josh talk
about his former roommate that way but also remembered the falling out that
they had awhile back.  Josh continued to fill him in on the scuttlebutt and
gossip on who was seeing who. He hauled down a very nice, casual suit from
one of the wall displays and with a flourish that only a true queen could
muster he presented it to Aikrii. The chocolate brown suit with the deep
yellow orange dress shirt looked wonderful. He placed it in front of him
and turned to show Mani who was admiring him with hunger in his eyes.

"Yum!" Josh said taking the words right out of Mani's head. "Simply
delicious!" Aikrii's heart laughter vibrated through the store, some of the
other customers looked back,

One woman whispered to her friend, "Damn he's HOT!" The second lady she was
with giggled. Mani Smiled, he was one lucky guy and he knew it. He looked
at his watch. Two hours to kill. He watched as Aikrii tried on three other
outfits, Mani gave his approval on all of them as he looked smashing in
all. Aikrii hauled out his wallet and asked Mani.

"Ok which one is the promised present, I'll pay for the rest," he said

"Oh no you don't," Mani said pushing his wallet back at him as he passed
his credit card to Josh who was now at the cash register. "This is my gift
to you, enjoy it"

"B-bu-but it's way too much!" he protested.

"Your total is two hundred twenty seven dollars and thirteen cents" Josh
said ringing up the clothes then looked at Aikrii, "Hunnie if you got a man
who wants to spoil ya don't fight it, you won't win!"

Mani stuck out his tongue at Aikrii, "So there, even your friend say to
enjoy it"

Aikrii glared at Josh, "Your not suppose to encourage him ya know."

"Just doin' my part for them cute buns! Besides you deserve it, you got one
of the best guys in the school, better you than some asshole, I say you go
girl!"

With that he bagged Aikrii's new clothing passed him his stuff and shooed
him and Mani out of the shop, blowing kisses and telling Aikrii to bring
his boyfriends hot body back so he could dress him up like the doll he was.


***************************** Chapter 9 ~ Celebration
*****************************

Aikrii laughed at the silliness of it all.  Mani leaned to Ki, "Damn Ki, I
wanted you so bad back there, that suit made you look as editable as
chocolate" ...he murmured, his warm breath tingling along Aikrii's neck.

Aikrii turned very red and stumbled at the weakness that reached his legs
Mani reached out steadying him. Mani's deep throaty laugh sent shivers
through Aikrii's whole body he blushed.

"Ok where to now?" he asked barely above a whisper.

"Food" Mani said with an obvious hungry growl in his voice, Aikrii knew he
wasn't hungry for food. He shivered in anticipation knowing tonight would
be a great opportunity to learn a bit more about what pleased Mani. They
pulled into the Sol-lo's grocery mart, but Mani didn't move right away.

"Something' wrong?" Ki asked him laying a hand on his arm.

"Just a bit...ummm..." he trailed off, Ki looked confused and worried Mani
seen the worried look in his eyes, "Don't worry I'm just a bit sexcited" he
said a bit exasperated; he looked down at his feet. Aikrii burst out
laughing so loudly the pigeons outside of the car took flight. Mani was
having issues 'containing his desires' where it concerned Aikrii; he just
needed a moment to gain his composure.

"It's kinda not funny." Mani said moping "I want time alone with you but
today is just so busy, can't even go back to the apartment with Cleo and
Nye there."

He shifted in the leather seat causing it to protest. Aikrii grinned, he
knew where they could go and no one would be there.  He looked at Mani and
said a simple address. Mani gave him quizzical glance

"Just drive" Aikrii said with a wink. Fifteen minutes later he pulled up in
front of the small light blue house.  Aikrii jumped from the car faster
than Mani could move. He rushed over to Mani's door. Aikrii took his hand
as he shoved the door shut seeing the glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Where are we?" he asked.

Aikrii pulled out a key. "My place" he said beaming.

"Oh my gosh!" he just realized "I've never been here before"

He looked around at the modest small house, it was nice enough, it did need
some work but it was a house, with the picket fence and all. Aikrii pulled
on his hand and took him through the dwelling; Mani barely had time to look
around when he was standing in from of a bedroom door that had posters of
George Michael on it and one of Enrique Iglesias. Mani chuckled, a typical
teens door, one more ment for a teen girl but still typical. Aikrii pushed
open the door and flicked on the light the room flooded with a subtle
golden glow, Mani was stunned to see how many books lined one whole wall of
his room, a lot were programming books, His computer was silent in the
corner and his closet was still opened from when he had been home 3 weeks
prior. Aikrii shoved the closet door shut and was pleased to see his room
was still the same inviting comfy place to be. Now time to christen it. He
reached for Mani's arm pulling him forward snaked his arms around his waist
and kissed him hungrily. Mani had no time to react before he realized they
were in Aikrii's double bed, Aikrii's actions made Mani's head swim. He was
lost in a sea of wonderful sensations and he wanted to stay swimming there.
Even thou Mani was the older of the two he tend to let Aikrii take control
of things knowing that giving him that much made Aikrii feel more
self-assured, and in doing so Mani was teaching Aikrii that he could be a
confident and successful lover with a bit of guidance. Aikrii licked his
neck and nibbled panting, his hot breath licking down the damp skin making
Mani squirm in anticipation; he so wanted to be in Aikrii, filling him,
feeling his tightness around him. He bucked and arched, Aikrii let out a
deep throat chuckle he pinned Mani's wrists and ground his arousal against
Mani's own excited state.

"Ahhh.... Oh, god! Oh!!!... Aikrii PLEASE!" He was panting so badly he
could barely contain himself. Aikrii grinned evilly and looked down at Mani
kissed his nose and slid off. He reached for Mani's trousers and ever so
painfully slowly unzipped the zipper, Mani felt like it was taking forever
gasping once Aikrii flipped the button and grasped his hips sliding off his
boxers and pants in one swift movement. He then proceeded to flick off each
button on Mani's shirt. Exposing his dampened skin to the chilled air his
nipples tightened into tiny pink beads. Aikrii took in a sharp deep breath
at the wondrous site of the fine male specimen under his hands, he was such
a handsome man to Aikrii's eyes, his lightly tanned smooth as milk skin,
his red sprinkle of hair and his tight muscles and washboard tummy made
Aikrii swoon.

"Yum!" He murmured. Mani blushed from head to toe. He was so pleased with
Aikrii's remarks, but he was also having trouble keeping his own wits and
resolve about him. It was then Aikrii surprised him by nipping his nipple
as he straddled over his belly once again gripping his wrists pinning him
down. He could feel that Aikrii had also stripped, his damp skin slick
against his own. Aikrii slid slowly down to Mani's pleasure and playfully
ran his tongue across the tip making his manhood jump like it had a life of
it's own. Mani squealed

"AI-KR-IIIIIIIIIIiiiiii!"

Aikrii now had Mani's arms pinned at his sides still not letting him to
touch not that Mani really couldn't stop him but it was nice to see he was
trying his hardest to let Aikrii have his own moment. Aikrii licked again,
round and round getting the tip slick and wet. Mani groaned whimpered and
convulsed each revolution made. Aikrii took him into his mouth, ever so
slightly running his teeth along it for added effect. He let go of Mani's
wrists and Mani gripped his shoulders tightly arching and panting. Aikrii
slid forward and settled himself over Mani's now slick wet desire.  Bring
Mani to the utopia plateau that he had him at was an accomplishment Aikrii
was thrilled to have done on his own.  He continued still trying to keep
himself at a steady unrushed pace, Now filled with the joy of the man he
loved he rocked gently kissing Mani's neck and looking him in the eyes,
Mani kept looking up into the beautiful green eyes above him enjoying the
loving rippling effects he was giving him. His eyes rolled back in sheer
pleasure as he felt the first wave of release, he gripped Aikrii's hips as
he bucked and arched.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Oh god Aikrii Yessssssssss!"

He cried out in his frenzied state of pleasure. He was panting so hard now
and he was so wet all over, perspiring like mad.  Aikrii sat up straight
over the spent Mani with the cockiest grin ever. He reached back and
stroked his inner thigh; Mani jumped in shock and squealed as
well. Grabbing Aikrii's wrists to stop the torture he was creating.

"God dammit, come here!" he said roughly.

He pulled him forward breaking one contact with Aikrii, only to cause
another by crushing his lips under his own, Aikrii was laughing through the
kiss at his response. Mani got more demanding and flipped Aikrii
over. Aikrii looked up smiled and said

"Tease me, please me"

Then giggled. Mani growled and nipped his neck Aikrii squealed, and giggled
harder as Mani took over and let his own body take in Aikrii's
sweetness. Mani wasn't as gentle or slow, he was lost and Aikrii knew it
but he didn't care he was enjoying the frenzied lovemaking and the total
loss of self-control he was able to put Mani in.  He gripped his hips
squeezing, Mani leaned forward and put his face in towards Aikrii's neck
taking in the aroma of his body, slick with sweat, cologne and the bed
sheets. He gripped his bottom as he rocked to the rhythm of Aikrii's rapid
heart rate. Aikrii pushed up gripping Mani's hips tightly moaning his
elation upon his release.

"Ooooooooh shit Maniii! Yes! Yes!" he whimpered, panting harder as the pace
quickened; "Oh god... YES! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He bucked and squirmed gripping the sheets around him as he arched, the
explosion was so intense his legs were left a quivering mass.

"HOLY shit!" he exclaimed, wrapping his arms around a now exhausted Mani
"Damn you are utterly amazing!" he said thrilled and still panting.

Mani grinned, "See your not the only one who can rock worlds" he rolled off
of Aikrii and snuggled in beside him.

"So you satisfied yet?" Ki asked his now seemingly contented
boyfriend. Mani flipped over onto his side and propped his head on his hand
tracing his finger down Aikrii's pecks.

"Never, never... your too hot to ignore."

Aikrii rolled over sideways and propped himself up as well looking at Mani
reaching over and brushing a red lock over his ear. "I can say the same
thing" his crooked grin spread up once side of his face right to his eyes,
sliding his hand into Mani's hair he pulled him forward and kissed him
again.

After a quick shower, a hasty remake of his bed, Aikrii stuffed a duffle
bag with some clothing grabbed a picture off the mantel of his mom and
himself and started writing a note. Mani looked around, noticed a picture
of a rather good looking tall dark man in a suit, he looked a lot like
Aikrii, just a bit heavier and with less hair.

"This your dad?" he asked pointing to the picture

"Yep" he looks different now thou "That's when he was more successful and
not such a drunk, last I seen of him he was bigger and scruffier looking"

Mani put the picture down. "Your mom obliviously still loves him"

"As she should," Aikrii said, as matter of factly. "He is after all her
first love and my dad, he's just lost."

Mani was staring in awe at the young man before him and his wise thoughts
about his dad. "Your wisdom is still so utterly amazing, you know that
right?"

Aikrii smiled "Maybe my dad will learn that one of these days to" he said
with a sheepish grin.

They left Aikrii's home and headed once again to Sol-lo's grocery mart "Ok
let's try this again" Mani said smiling.

They picked up enough groceries to feed an army. Then headed back to their
apartment. When they got there Mani asked Aikrii to stick with the
groceries while he got some help from Cleo and Nye. When he came back down
the elevator there was no Nye or Cleo to speak of.

"Where are they?" Aikrii questioned

"Don't have a clue," Mani said loading the small buggy cart he had brought
back down with him. "This will get them all up stairs don't worry"

They both headed up the elevator Mani towing the cart he handed Aikrii the
keys to the apartment.

He nearly jumped straight out of his trousers at the energetic shouts of
"SUPRIZE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

"Oh my gosh!" he gasped he looked back at a gleaming Mani, "You did this?"

"Yes along with your mom, Cleo, Nye and a few others."

Without hesitation he kissed and hugged him tightly right in front of
everyone, he grinned, beaming so happy how things were, his fairy tale was
finally comming true. A wolf whistle brought them back to the fray watching
them; everyone started clapping and patting Aikrii and Mani on their backs.

The music started and everyone started to chat at once. Mani's landlady was
even there and a few of Aikrii's friends including Josh.

"This is one hopping party darlin', I'm glad I was able to get off to be
here" Josh said as he sipped his rum and coke.

Aikrii smiled. "It's one of the best days of my life Josh, I found the guy
of my dreams, I have a fairytale only dreams are made of and I feel like
I'm in heaven" He sighed a great sigh of satisfaction

Josh looked at him and smiled patting his arm and spoke "Sometimes life has
a nicer way of paying you back for all the crap it puts you though
first. I'm happy for you, you deserve it"

"Thanks" Aikrii clinked his Pepsi against Josh's drink and then headed over
to Mani, slid his arm around his waist and leaned against him while others
around them talked sang, and enjoyed themselves.
