BEEP
“Hey Ryu-”
"Ann. The craziest thing happened on Wednesday".
"Oooooh, what is it? Another one of your dates with Ren and Akechi?"
"Uuuh...you could say that. We went to the bathhouse together."
"Oh my gosh, Ryuji!!! You really are stepping it up with them, hehe."
"Well, we went with Yusuke before. And it wasn't a date. But I guess since we're sorta official now...
Anyway. I kind of expected it to be more romantic but hell, things went south so quick..."
***
On Tuesday night, I got a call from Renren. I was so surprised because the guy never calls first! I was super nervous for some reason. When I took the call, they were like, "Goro wants to go to the bathhouse with me tomorrow and I thought it would be fun if you could join us. You know...since we're a thing now".
Obviously, I was over the moon. I'd already seen Renren naked plenty of times but dang, I never get tired of it. I was a bit anxious about Goro and all...I never got close to him like that. But you know, he's also Ren's boyfriend so we gotta do what we gotta do.
"Is A-I mean, Goro okay? With me? Seeing him like that?" I stuttered so much.
Embarrassing.
And then Ren went, "don't worry. I'll talk to him. So, it's a plan?"
I just made like an affirmative sound and then they hung up. I couldn't sleep that night.
So yeah, on Wednesday morning I took the train to Yongen and went straight to the bathhouse. I was early for the first time in my life, Ann! So, I walk to the door and guess who's there? The man himself, Goro Akechi.
I just waved and leaned on the wall and then that bastard looked at me like I had effin’ rabies or something.
He turned my way and said something like, "So, was it your idea to tag along? I wanted some time with Ren." Didn't stop whining.
I got mad and went like, "Nah dude, your partner's idea.” Wait. “My partner!"
And speak of the devil, they arrived. They smiled the brightest smile in the world, so I calmed down, and then they lead us in.
We got naked and let me tell you, Ann. I felt Goro's eyes all over me. It felt a bit weird? But I guess I'm attractive like that.
So, we go in the tub. I felt it was like, warmer than usual but I didn't mind that much. I thought it was just my nerves. Then Ren brings up the time they went with Goro and how he started traumadumping to them.
He was so shy about it; it was pretty cute. I just went like, "happens to the best of us. When I'm with them, I just feel like telling all my secrets to this guy!"
I was about to get all sentimental and shit when I felt something poking my leg. I was almost sure it was Goro, but he looked weirdly innocent. Ren didn't move either.
So, I just ignored it. Started talking about my track story and how you know who broke my leg. Ren kept reminding me of stuff I forgot, haha. But yeah, Goro was super attentive. Maybe he felt bad about it cuz at some point he looked really peeved.
Anyway, a second later, I felt the thing again. We all looked at each other suspiciously. Everyone was confused, so I was like “is something poking my leg or is it the heat going to my head?” Made Ren laugh with that one.
Then they were like, "do you think there's a monster at the bottom of the bath?" With their beautiful shit-eating smirk. You know that one. I knew they were joking but I don't know man, it could’ve been legit.
So, I just punched their arm. And then Goro looked at me like the jealous little prick he is. I'm gonna be honest, I love getting those reactions outta him.
Anyway. I was feeling super warm now. I could tell both Ren and Goro were hot. I-I MEAN LIKE THE OTHER WAY!! So, I looked behind me and this old man was like, warming the tub like there was no tomorro- oh.
Uhm, anyway. Ren and I knew the guy. We met him when we went with Yusuke. I was really pissed at the time but since Goro was there and I wanted to annoy him, I looked at Ren and said, "yo, Ren-ren. Looks like Old Man's back. Up for a challenge?"
And of course, they knew exactly what I was talking about. Goro was just staring between us like an idiot, haha. So, we filled him in, and I swear the way he smirked and leaned back...hot.
So, we stay for an hour or so, while that old geezer manhandled the faucet. We talked a bit more, believe it or not. Turns out me and Goro went to the same elementary school when he was in foster care. I don't remember how he was back then, but from what he was telling us, he was shy and didn't talk to others much. I'm like, that much hasn't changed.
He also used to watch Featherman when it was airing between 5 and 6pm. Remember that? I was glued to the TV we had back then. I never imagined he would be into that but, that adds to his charm, I guess.
Speaking of childhoods, Renren was telling us about one of their stories in their hometown and how they locked a teacher out of the classroom, when we all felt the monster thingy again. Goro and I got really pissed off, so we got up and then the old man started screaming. He ran out of the tub and tripped.
Landed right on his head.
Goro ran off to call an ambulance and Renren went to get Dr. Takemi.
I was shaking, dude. The guy was bleeding a bit from his head and his face was like frozen with fear. Sat next to the man and put a towel on his head. And then I hear a splash behind us. You won't believe who came out of the effin' water. That effin' idiot Yusuke.
I was like "what the hell dude? What were you doing at the bottom of the tub?"
And the dumbass goes, "I was merely imitating my favourite lifeform. I thought I would come to a better understanding of lobsters if I lived like them" or some shit.
Then he saw the man on the ground and tensed up. Said he probably needed assistance. I'm like yeah, no shit. Told him we called an ambulance and he seemed more relaxed. He said something about going back before his curfew and left. I don't know if the others saw him when they came back in, but they just stared at me weird. I wasn't going to explain all that, so I just shrugged.
The ambulance people took the man out and left. It was pretty late, and we were frickin' exhausted, so we just called it a day. Oh, and we made out in the changing room. No one was there, don't worry.
Uh yeah, after that we learned that the old man died at the clinic. Dr. Takemi said the fall wasn't that bad, so she guesses it was probably old age or something.

"Uh…wait does that mean Yusuke killed someone?!”
"I uh…No? Maybe? I don’t wanna think about it. It was pretty crazy, but I had a fun time with my partners".
"Is that how you call Akechi, now?"
"Uh I guess?”
…
“Wait, is that it?”
“Whadja mean?”
“You’re not going to tell me about you make out sesh in full detail?”
“Why would I do that? That none of your business!”
“Oh really? Then our food escapades are over.”
“Ann!”
…
“Okay, fine…but it stays between us.”
“Of course! You’re my one and only bestie after all.”
***
After everything happened, all three of us headed to the dressing room to get our stuff and leave. I swear I was still dizzy with all the heat, so don’t blame me for what happens next.
Anyway…the two of them were dripping in sweat, muscles and faces all blushy. Renren was on the bench and Goro was reclined on a locker, and he was giving me the same nasty stare as before. He was so annoying I had to walk up to him and stare him right in his stupid face.
“Hey moron, you got an issue?! You’ve been staring at me all weird all effin’ day!”
Goro looked surprised and I heard Renren snickering a bit.
Then, Goro tried to escape my look and just whispered “You’re the effin’ moron.” Well. He actually dropped the f bomb.
He really thought I couldn’t hear. So I was like “What’d you say?!”
He didn’t let me finish though. His mouth was over mine and he was tugging on my hair like a sort of wild animal. His eyes were shut tight, like he didn’t want to admit he was into me. And out the corner of eye I could see Ren enjoying themselves too. I thought, “well if Renren likes it, I better give them a show to remember.”
Took Goro’s waist and pulled him closer. He pulled out of the kiss with a crazy blush on his face, and he gave me this confused look. I leaned in and told him that it was fine. Everything is fine. He’s good-looking too.
Took his lips again and this time Goro was taking it way slower. His eyes relaxed and he let his hands wander along my naked chest. I couldn’t help but grunt a bit. He was vicious with his movement, giving me no rest. It’s like I was his dinner that moment, and he wanted it all at once. I let him know he was going a bit too fast by biting his bottom lip. Bad idea.
Goro just took it as sign to torture me more. He left my mouth alone and started nipping at my neck, licking some of the sweat and devouring.
I was having enough of all of this so I pushed him against the locker. “What’s up with you?! Akechi!”
“Oh…Sakamoto-kun..didn’t know you were like that. What are you going to do to me?"
That got my blood boiling for real. “Oh you’ll see, Goro.”
I had never seen that kind of look on Goro’s face. It was like he was high, and his grin was up to his ears. I grabbed him by the waist again, this time running my hands up and down his sides and leaned in for a real deep kiss. Got around to getting my tongue inside and he was so eager to suck it. He started grinding a bit on me and, I’ll be honest, it was really cute. I think I smiled a little.
At some point, I stepped back while Goro was on his high, and gave his body a little up and down look. I could tell he was not getting a lot of food in him, or any good rest.
Somewhere in my heart I felt a little bit of tenderness for him. I took his cheek and gave it a kiss. And then I gave him another on his shoulder blade. Another on his chest. I got on my knees and kissed his navel. I could feel how warm he was.
He put his hands on my head, to keep me down. I looked up at him and shook my head. I wasn’t ready for that…especially in public.
Goro just kept still. I think he was starting to come back to earth. I got off the floor and gave him one last kiss and ruffled his hair.
I had almost forgotten Renren was there when they stood up and gave us both a pat on the back. They looked at Goro and said “I knew you would get along with Ryuji.”
They gave me and Goro the brightest smile, and then turned to put their clothes on. Goro gave me one last look and opened his locker.
***
“That ended pretty awkwardly. I mean…doesn’t sound like Akechi will ever acknowledge he was into you or than he even made out with you.”
“Well…right before we both took the train back home, Goro asked for my number. Well. He said Ren had already given it to him, but he never saved it.”
“Are you going to call him?”
“You know, I thought about it. I like the cute side of him. I like the effect I have on him sometimes. And if Renren likes him, then it must be for a reason. Even though he did all of that bullshit.”
“I’ll let you in on a secret. Turns out, Akechi looooves sweets. I’ll give you his favourite crepe place, and I bet you you’ll see a totally different side to him!”
“Hehe, that works. Thanks for listening, bro.”
“Of course, bestie. Okay now it’s my turn.”
“Makoto?”
“Yup. We did the thing.”
“For real?!”
