^Haha, I want to make them more of an equal, regarding the seme and uke roles, but you could say that Daisuke is the seme right now, and Jiro is the uke. =)
@ everybody else: Thanks for thinking that it's getting better and better! I will try to keep this up..
Anyways, as I promised, another update! Comments are appreciated as usual. Have fun!

The two of us entered a large corridor that smelt of food and other scents that I couldn’t even tell at all. Apartments were always like that; one would think it was a fresh market or something. We walked towards the west end of the corridor and came upon number 716.
“We’re here.”
He led me inside. We were alone.
Warmth touched our soaked skins and slippery hair. The pitch-black darkness overwhelmed us and immediately heightened our senses. I could hear his hard breathing and he could hear mine. The gentle rustling of our feet resonated throughout the entire room. Rain still thumped, against the window, thought lightly it did by then. My heart beat faster and faster by the second; whether it was because of the fatigue or something else, I didn’t know.
He felt around a nearby wall and flicked a switch. Within a blink of an eye, my surroundings lit up to reveal the entirety of his place. We were in a hallway that connected everything in his apartment; two bedrooms, a living room, a shower, a storage room, and a small yet neat kitchen. As we moved further in, I noticed a couple of funny-looking pieces of furniture that seemed out-of-place, such as a blue sofa that seemed a bit too futuristic, and a table with eight, weird legs (an octopus was what I thought of it). There were a few thrown about books, some action figures displayed here and there (among them were Final Fantasy ones, which were my favorite), and some chocolate wrappers scattered about. Other than that, it was tidy.
“Sorry if it’s a bit messy,” he told me, and then proceeded to set me down in the blue sofa. Finally… some rest. I was really tired by then from all the walking we had to endure… and of course, by the earlier events.
“It’s alright,” I mouthed, for no sound came out. I looked around as I sat there, not knowing what else to say. I felt kind of awkward.
Daisuke went inside one of his rooms and got back with dry clothes in his hands. He smiled his usual smile and passed me a tight-looking shirt and a pair of Spiderman boxers.
“All my other clothes are still drying up, and that’s all I have left. The dryer machines in the laundry room were busted... someone probably did it for fun.” He shook his head. “So sorry again…”
I managed a small grin. “No, Daisuke, it’s okay. Besides, this has Spiderman in it.”
“If you say so,” said he, and then smiled back. “Anyways, you really need to take a shower. Jiro, you look really pale. You’re going to get sick any minute. You look like you really need it.” There was a sense of caring in his tone.
He was right. I caught a glimpse of myself in a nearby glass table. My skin was very pale, despite its tan color. Crimson red and swollen was the state of my eyes, overlooking its brown and grayish iris. My jet black hair, usually unkempt, was disheveled even more. Mud and grass stuck to my small ears, round nose, and oval face. Not to mention my stained shirt and cargo shorts. (I had just realized I went into a storm with very little clothing). I almost looked like one of the homeless men out in the streets- all I needed was to tear up my clothes here and there.
Then, in an abrupt, sudden, and smooth move, he took his jacket, and shirt, off in front of me. It was like he was in slow motion- yet with a fluid movement. He moved a bit closer. At first, I thought he was going to make a move on me, that it was going to be a night of something… but I tried to erase that thought. He was simply changing… I recited inside me. But he did it in front of me… very near to me… and very, very smoothly… very slowly too… My thoughts just didn’t stop. It’s not normal to do that… he’s hinting on something… said one voice. It’s so normal… don’t make anything out of it… said another. Either way, it was a sight to behold.

A swimmer’s build- a lean swimmer’s build was what he had. His body glimmered against the vibrant lighting of his apartment. Probably been working out a bit… Stop thinking this! I told myself before further getting lost in my imagination. Stop thinking!
I looked away, pretending I had caught something in my eye. However, this stopped him from putting on his shirt as well- and caused him to shift even closer to me. He inspected my eye.
“Hey, did you catch something in your eye? Want me to blow it for you?”
Oh my god! Blow it? Blow it?! Was I supposed to read between the lines there? Or was it nothing… Are you asking if you could give me a blow- … Err… Agh… Daisuke, you’re putting me in a tough situation! I indeed was.
“No, it’s ok, there’s no dirt. I think it was just a glare.” That’s what I told him to get out of the situation.
“Oh, then the lights are probably too bright for you,” exclaimed Daisuke. Then, he dimmed the lights.
What are you trying to hint at? Ugh… this is probably nothing. But, dim the lights? Is this supposed to come off as romantic? Daisuke… My mind was so funny at times.
Focusing on emptying my brain of unnecessary thoughts was so hard to do, especially when he started the process of getting off his pants. To show that I wasn’t looking at him, I stood up and began to change as well. I was slowly working on pulling myself out of my shirt when my head swam in pain. I tried to regain my balance but my legs were giving out.
The energy I lost still wasn’t completely regained. Shiver and shake I did- then, like a light bulb reaching the end of its life, my eyes shut down. And then, my body fell to the floor.
All was blank.
“Jiro… Jiro…”
“Are you here to bother me again?”
“Jiro… Jiro…”
“What do you want?”
“Jiro… wake up.”
I opened my eyes again, unaware of the time that passed. Daisuke was beside me, observing my face. I was laid down in a bed- a feathery, comfortable bed. And also, I was under a soft, cotton blanket. And beneath it- I wore nothing.
