The Tempting Test

Frankly, at that day, Suoh's aloofness was nothing less but at face-value. He really had to give thanks to his lucky stars that day. All for this specific reason: Souh Kazumi was so blessed with superb self-control over his desires (not that it did much in this particular situation). Anything less would be akin to voluntarily suicide.

Here's the thing:

Suoh should not have walked coincidentally in the last day of Takaba Akihito's shopping spree. But there were several factors which made him to be an unlucky/lucky companion (depending on whose point-of-view).

One, Suoh was the very first one who had seen the missing pet of his boss. Two, his phone's battery was nonexistent due to the constant updates he was sending to his boss. And three, he was very distracted, that he had totally forgotten to use any pay phone.

On the other hand, looking for one was highly unlikely, because Takaba was moving in and out of the various stores in hyper mode. Catching up with his target would be advantage by reason of Takaba's cheetah-like speed. Losing sight of the boy was also worse.

But then again, it would be better for Suoh's physical and mental health to be out of Takaba's perimeter, it would have been lethal and life-threatening for Suoh's person otherwise.

Now that is enough musing, an inner voice reprimanded Suoh harshly.

At this reminder, very cautiously, Suoh went inside the male fashion boutique. Taking hold of some clothing materials in one corner, his eyes scanned the area.

Five minutes later, the boy emerged in a devastating tight leather pants and missing top. The well-proportionate abs on the slender body was well defined, more pronounced by the flawless, luminous skin and the cute belly button of its owner. Not to mention, the delectable nipples that was begging to be sucked on.

Suoh swallowed hard with difficulty. He was turned between the choices of allowing himself, the awestruck shoppers and assistants to continue eyeballing the boy or to lend his own suit to cover the delicious body of his boss lover.

It was like a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Only one fact steeled his resolved: Asami-sama would be extremely displeased if his pet will be touched any otherfriendly and wondering hands.

Stiffed-back, Suoh made his presence known with a glare to the shopping assistant, who thankfully backed away without a fuss from his behemoth figure and doom-on-you glare.

With his presence made known, Takaba's head snapped at him. "Oh, it's you. Kindly zip me up, Suoh-san?" The request was respectful, successfully floundering Suoh for a brief second.

And without preamble, Takaba pivoted his back to Suoh exposing his tantalizing, perfectly round butt to Suoh's widening eyes.

Good heavens, the boy is in full commando! His inner voice squealed in awe and glee.

And why do these pants has its zipper located in the back? Another voice screeched, scandalized.

Suoh paled. Oh, shit.

He began to sweat big time as time itself seemed to be stuck in slow motion as he tried to pull the pant's zipper up. His hand involuntarily trailed the waist that he could spin easily with both hands.

Thankfully, Takaba didn't notice his unholy actions.

Once Suoh was done, Takaba took a step back. Blue eyes inspected the pants carefully. Then he smiled, emitting sparkles at Suoh. "What do you think, Suoh-san?"

Suoh coughed, covering his short relapse. "It looks good on you, Takaba-kun."

"But I feel this is gonna fall off or something." Takaba squirmed in discomfort, stretching his body causing his naked upper body's muscles to ripple.

Suoh nearly drooled.

Blond brows furrow in concentration, unmindful to the lustful eyes directed at his person. "Well, you said that it looks good to me. Hmmm…" Takaba was about to turn back but was stopped by his call.

"Takaba-kun, Asami-sama wants to see you," he reminded calmly in a business like tone.

"I'll see him later tonight. For now, why don't you come with me? Your comments and suggestion might be needed," Takaba demanded with a non-negotiable expression on his pretty face.

Pretty? inner voice piped up with no small amount of amusement.

This is not good, a logical voice stated in worry.

Suoh ignored both of them. He agreed, only because of the existence of several lecherous leery eyes towards the boy. It was nothing more but a reasonable excuse out of the goodness of his heart and duty for his boss' precious pet.

Or so he thought.

Little did he, Suoh Kazumi knew that this would be one of those days. And by those days, he meant a sanity-cracking meltdown kind of days.

~*02*~

Suoh felt the butterflies pushing against the edges of his stomach as his nervousness increased by each prolonged seconds that passed by as he waited.

Finally, Takaba came out of the dressing room with skinny jeans finely ripped in exact and precise places.

He looks great in that pair, Suoh decided.

Not just great but enticing, inner voice sighed.

The velvet black denim hugged the boy's mile-long, slender legs wellandtightin all the right places, framing the round ass really well.

Takaba's left eyebrow rose waiting for his jurisdiction.

"Nice," Suoh managed to comment after gathering himself after several seconds.

"What about the shirt?" Takaba asked, blue eyes gleaming in hidden amusement.

At this, Suoh's eyes peeled off from the boy's pert ass. The casual, immaculate white, turtle neck shirt suited Takaba's misleading delicate frame.

He nodded in approval, eyes shifting back at the boy's lower body, again.

~*02*~

Suoh glared at the helpful shopping assistant. This shooed the poor man away from volunteering himself to the oblivious boy.

His own hands meticulously adjusted the double-breasted blazers on Takaba's body. It fitted the boy's upper body like a glove especially around the waist area.

The boy patiently waited for Suoh's ministration to be over.

1 and a half minutes later…

"Suoh-san?" Takaba prompted in irritation.

His hands were still wondering over his boss' property. Horrified, Suoh backed away like he was being literally scalded by hot water.

He gave the boy a look of apology.

"It's fine," the boy gestured with a dismissive wave, moving back to the dressing room for the mirror.

That boy isn't good for my sane judgment, Suoh concluded silently, and proceeded to bang his head for good measure at the wall, ignoring the other customers' surprise reactions.

Forgive me for trespassing your territory, Asami-sama… Suoh prayed fervently inside his mind.

~*02*~

Garbed in new scarlet bomber jacket with black fishnet t-shirt underneath, skin-tight knee length black shorts and ankle buckled boots, Takaba asked in confusion, "Are this people blind or something? Why do they fall over the place and bump to each other?"

Suoh side-eyed the wrecked trail of open mouth and wide-eyed audience, men and women alike. Some tried their best not to pass out only for the view to last longer. All straight preferences appeared to be having a crisis of sexuality.

This visual evidences proved how the Takaba Akihito's Effect had a devastating effect to anyone's equilibrium, a logical voice commented inside his head.

And base on the oblivious facial expression painted on the source's face, the boy clearly did not know the real cause.

Suoh simply shook his head at the irony of the situation.

~*02*~

Hours later, Suoh surfaced out of the shopping mall, looking like he had just run in a day long marathon race.

Behind him, was the still energized Takaba with several shopping bags—the very person who was blind to Suoh's inner turmoil that day.

Once inside the cab beside the driver, he sank on the seat in visible relief. Finally, his ordeal for the day was done. Suoh then wondered if fate would allow him not to suffer alone for the next level.

It would be cruelly unfair if he's all alone in this mess

From the other dimension, the divine beings looked at each other on whatever they will answer for this poor mortal's plea…
