Summer

The window remained wide open. At first, it felt uncomfortable, but Fujishima had grown so used to the open space leading outside that it felt unsettling without it.

Tohru refused to use air conditioning in the room. Ever since Fujishima almost hurt his throat from the cool air at the beginning of summer, Tohru had banned air conditioning in every room. Because of the heat, the window was always open, whether reading a book, sleeping, or having sex.

Recently, Fujishima had also come to notice how unexpectedly bright the moonlight could be. Watching the moon wax and wane each day had become interesting.

Tonight, a thin cloud covered the moon. As Fujishima gazed outside through the window, he felt arms wrap around his waist from behind. The anticipation of what was to come sent a wave of heat through his body. Even after countless times of being together, just a touch from Tohru excited him.

Tohru’s large fingers lifted Fujishima’s T-shirt, which he wore as pajamas, revealing his nipples, which were then lightly pinched. A breath escaped his lips. His sweatpants and underwear were pulled down to his knees in one swift motion. Finding the half-removed clothes cumbersome, Fujishima removed them from his ankles himself.

He stood naked in the moonlight. Tohru’s hands caressed his shoulders and back repeatedly but didn’t touch where Fujishima most wanted. The teasing made him restless, and he had to fight the urge to push his hips forward. Six years ago, Tohru would have been happy to see Fujishima being honest about his feelings. But Fujishima didn’t know how this Tohru would react, and he wasn’t the type to ask. He didn’t want to be seen as a shameless person, inviting Tohru to touch him.

Tohru grabbed his wrist and led him out of the room. With his arousal, Fujishima’s steps were a little unsteady, but Tohru didn’t seem to notice.

When Tohru took him to his room by the entrance, Fujishima realized they might be taking pictures. Back in April, during the school’s spring break, Tohru had turned his room into a studio. He had thrown out the bed and bookshelves and installed another door over the window to completely block out natural light. When disposing of the bookshelves, Tohru had handed Fujishima the books that the Tohru from six years ago had owned, saying, “Do what you want with them.” Fujishima had gotten rid of them all. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to keep them, but he thought it might be better to let them go than to consider how this Tohru would feel if he saw those books.

The white walls were illuminated by large lights. In the small studio inside the house, Tohru often brought in small stones he had found by the roadside or riverside to photograph. Most of the stones Tohru picked up were smooth and rounded, as if they had been worn down by water over time, rather than jagged and rough. Fujishima had seen those stone photos a few times. It was strange how the lifeless stones seemed to cry through the photos.

Tohru positioned Fujishima in front of the white wall. The lights were turned on, and Fujishima felt their warmth along with the light.

“Are you going to take pictures of me?”

Adjusting the lights, Tohru replied, “Yes.”

“Like this?”

He avoided being specific, but Tohru nodded firmly.

“Just like that.”

Tohru set up a tripod and prepared the camera. Left standing alone in front of the wall, Fujishima suddenly felt vulnerable. In silence, Tohru pressed the shutter a few times. Then, moving away from the camera, he frowned slightly, looking intently at Fujishima.

“Can’t you smile?”

When asked, Fujishima tried to smile. But standing naked and feeling far from amused, his forced smile felt stiff and unnatural. The shutter stopped clicking, and at the same time, Fujishima squatted down on the spot.

“What’s wrong?”

Fujishima saw Tohru’s feet approach. He shook his head.

“Did you not like it?”

If he nodded, it might upset Tohru. So he remained still, not moving his head.

“I didn’t think you’d dislike it so much… I’m sorry.”

Hearing Tohru’s subdued voice, Fujishima looked up.

“I-It’s okay. It’s just… I felt embarrassed, being like this…”

“Was it because you were half-hard?”

Having it pointed out made Fujishima blush. But the tension of being photographed had already caused his erection to subside. Tohru squatted in front of him and gently touched his groin.

“I thought it was good that you were like that.”

He lightly pinched the tip of Fujishima’s penis.

“It means you were aroused by me.”

Tohru’s gentle manipulation quickly made Fujishima hard again.

“And you don’t look ridiculous at all.”

Tohru whispered something softly in his ear, but Fujishima couldn’t hear it. When he tried to ask, Tohru covered his lips with a kiss, pressing their lower bodies together. Bathed in the bright light, they embraced. Fujishima was pressed against the white wall as Tohru entered him, the unfamiliar position making Fujishima gasp shallowly.

When it was over, both were covered in sweat. While Fujishima lay on the floor in front of the wall, Tohru moved to the camera, setting it up for a closer shot. Fujishima quietly touched his groin. Since they hadn’t used protection, Tohru’s fluids were on the verge of leaking out. As he started to get up to go to the bathroom, Tohru returned to his side. He picked at the bangs stuck to Fujishima’s forehead with sweat, kissed him, and pinched his now-sensitive nipples. Fujishima felt his strength leaving him and twisted his body to avoid the touch.

“What? You like it when I play with you here.”

Tohru’s large thumb teased him, making Fujishima shudder.

“If you keep doing that, I’ll… I’ll…”

His voice was barely audible.

“What’s going to come out? From here?”

Tohru gripped his flaccid penis tightly.

“Or from here?”

He pressed a finger into him from behind, and Fujishima couldn’t hold it back anymore. The fluids Tohru had left inside began to drip out.

“N-No…”

“It’s mine anyway. Just let it out.”

Tohru’s fingers stirred inside him, coaxing everything out, and then smeared it on his crotch. His pubic hair became sticky with the fluid. When Tohru touched him again, it made a wet, squelching sound.

“What a lewd noise.”

Even though it wasn’t something he had produced, Fujishima was embarrassed and covered his face.

“But you’re enjoying it too, aren’t you? You’re hard even with all this mess.”

His aroused penis emerged from the wet mess, leaking pre-cum. After penetrating him from behind, Tohru slowly lifted Fujishima’s body while still connected. The angle became shallower, making Fujishima’s back tremble.

Tohru spread his legs wide in a position like a child peeing, and the shutter clicked again. Surprised, Fujishima tried to close his legs, but Tohru wouldn’t let go.

“No, stop…”

Tohru kissed him as he squirmed. While kissing, Tohru spread Fujishima’s legs wider and slowly lifted his scrotum. With their connection fully exposed, the shutter clicked again. It clicked several times as Fujishima writhed, and eventually, he stopped hearing anything.

Even after the heat had passed, they continued to embrace and kiss. Tohru’s fingers no longer did anything teasing.

“...The photos…”

Fujishima looked up at Tohru.

“You took photos…”

Tohru echoed, “I did.”

“What do you plan to do with those photos?”

“I just wanted to take pictures of you naked.”

“But…”

“I’m naked too, so it’s not embarrassing, right? Besides, you used to let the old me take lots of photos of you.”

Reminded of the past, Fujishima had nothing more to say.

“You looked mysterious in the moonlight.”

Tohru caressed Fujishima’s sweaty shoulder.

“Your skin looked pale and almost transparent. That’s why I wanted to capture it. I’m not great with portraits or nudes, but I wanted to take pictures of you. I wanted to keep them.”

Tohru hugged him tightly, and Fujishima squinted his eyes.

“I want to take more pictures of you, of all your expressions—angry, feeling pleasure, crying, smiling. So I can look at them and feel reassured when you’re not around.”

Fujishima met the gaze of Tohru’s camera, which seemed like a part of him. Earlier, it had scared him, but now it didn’t. Or at least, it didn’t seem to.

“Can you promise not to show them to anyone?”

Fujishima looked at Tohru directly.

“Don’t show anyone the photos you took. If you promise that… you can take them.”

They exchanged a kiss with that promise. But even without the promise, Fujishima felt like Tohru wouldn’t show his photos to anyone… or so he hoped.
