Princess of video games

“Why don’t you play with us?” A thug said putting his arms around Arai and cupping his chin.

“I’d rather not.” Arai said unimpressed by the thug’s come-ons.

“Aw, don’t be like that.” Another joked while trying to feel Arai’s butt.

“You guys better leave me alone.” Arai warned.

“Oh yeah? Why’s that?”

“I’ve got a bad ass boyfriend who will knock you out with one punch if you make him angry.”

“Well it looks like he’s not here, is he princess?” The thug said trying to strip Arai of his clothing.

Nakamura punched this guy out. “Pow!” He said making his own sound effects. The guy was out cold. He kicked another guy and elbowed the remaining thug.

“Nakamura knocks em out again!” He said standing triumphantly before the groaning thugs. “Surely this deserves 500 experience points.”

“500 points? What are you talking about?” One of the thugs wondered.

“Nakamura.” Arai said in amazement. He was currently on the pavement wearing nothing but a sheet.

“Eh? Arai-san!? Why are you in a sheet?” Nakamura wondered.

“They did this too me!” He griped. “But you saved me.” He said hugging Nakamura’s legs. “Nakamura…” He said lying on the ground quite suggestively. “Take me…” He said throwing the sheet aside to reveal a bright light coming from his body.

“Nakamura-san.” Tanaka interrupted his fantasy.

“And you’d think that having hot and wild sex on the pavement wouldn’t be very comfortable but Arai was certainly up for it…” He bragged only to have Arai bop him harshly on the head so that he crumbled onto the floor.

“I’d appreciate it if you don’t share our fantasy sex life with everybody.” He said angrily standing over the man with a bump on his head.

“But it’s not all fantasy!” Nakamura said standing up haughtily as if he hadn’t been in pain a while ago. “Arai really was begging me to save him last night…” Arai bopped him on the head again so that he crumbled onto the floor… again.

“I’d also appreciate if you don’t share our real sex life with anybody either.” He said gritting his teeth. It seemed ever since the jumping off the building scare, Nakamura had gone from one extreme to the other. He now tried to get with Arai whenever he could (if you know what I mean) and loved bragging about their sex life.

“Yeah and we don’t really wanna know anyway, Nakamura.” Tanaka folded her arms.

“But what’s the big deal?” Nakamura said getting up and rubbing his two sore spots on his head. “If we all share things with each other in this department, it will make us feel closer and create a better working environment.” He lectured.

“You don’t really believe that do you?” Suzuki wondered.

“Besides we are all already so close that we know everyone’s dirty secrets.” Nakamura explained. “Need I mention Suzuki’s pregnant scare about a year back?”

“Geez. Don’t remind me.” Suzuki sighed.

“And for a while Tanaka had a problem with a stalker.” Tanaka blushed.

“Even Yamada here…” Yamada gulped as Nakamura’s attention turned to him. “He had an ingrown hair that got infected. Inoue thought it was so gross she wouldn’t even sleep with him until it healed.”

“Hey!” Inoue yelled.

“See? We all tell each other stuff because we are the close knit ‘hole in the wall’ department. So close that we know each other’s deepest and dirtiest secrets.” He explained happily.

“And who’s the one with the deepest and dirtiest secrets?” Tanaka tapped her foot. “Need I mention the many girls you’ve gone through and how many times you’ve talked about sex, you sex maniac?” She yelled.

“This may be true. I may indeed be a sex maniac.” Nakamura admitted. “But look at the time! Time to go. Come on, Arai. We are going to your house but on the way I will save you from all the mean thugs who will lock you up in a tower and try to do bad things to you.” He said making karate motions.

“You’ve been playing too many video games.” Arai said sarcastically going to the door to get his coat.

“And tonight I’m gonna use this new move I learned that goes up, left, up, right, A, A, down.” He said moving his hips in a slightly suggestive way.

“I don’t even want to know…” Tanaka groaned.

“Were you really attacked by thugs?” Yamada said worried.

“No, Nakamura’s just making stuff up. I won several judo competitions during high school so I doubt any thugs would be able to take me on. If anyone’s ever going to need saving from thugs, it’ll probably be him.” He said motioning towards his lover with his thumb.

“Geez, haven’t you heard of the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder?” Tanaka complained to Nakamura as they cleaned off some papers from their desk.

“Eh? What’s that got to do with Arai? He’s not going anywhere.”

“I’m just saying that if you do it too many times it might lose its meaning, you know?”

“Eh?”

“Are you coming, Nakamura?” Arai called from the door. Nakamura nodded and turned back to Tanaka.

“I mean your times together should be special right?” She said shrugging. “Not necessarily frequent.”

“You’re right!” Nakamura realized. “I have to limit the amount of times we have sex so that then when we do it, it’ll be more special. Ok! Thanks Tanaka! I understand!” He said running to the door.

“Eh?” She wondered. She hadn’t especially been serious and had really just wanted Nakamura to stop talking about sex so much.

When Nakamura got to Arai’s house, he held up his new video game. “Let’s play video games, Arai-san!”

“Huh? You were serious about playing video games before?”

“Yep. I already told you about that new move I wanted to try.”

“I thought you were alluding to sex.” Arai mentioned.

“Hah hah!” Nakamura laughed as if he made a joke. “No way, Nori-chan. What made you think that? You’re such a funny guy.”

“Uh huh.” Arai was not impressed but went ahead and joined Nakamura for a go at video games.

After they were finished, Nakamura quickly pecked Arai on the lips and headed for the door. “See ya, Nori-chan!”

“You’re not gonna stay the night?”

“Nope. Love ya!” He said bolting for the door.

“What the hell?” Arai wondered.

The next night, Nakamura and Arai watched soccer. Arai had put his arm around Nakamura as the last part of the game played out. Nakamura pretended to pay more attention to the game than to Arai. When the game was over, Arai leaned towards Nakamura only to be knocked away as Nakamura stood up quickly.

“Wee! That was a great game!” He said stretching. “Well, we’ve got work tomorrow so I guess I’ll head on out.”

“Nakamura…” Arai started.

“See you tomorrow Nori!” He waved heading out the door.

“What is that idiot’s problem?” Arai wondered scratching his head.

The next day Nakamura said, “Sorry I can’t come over today.” He forced a yawn. “I’m too tired. I think I’ll go to bed early tonight. See ya, Arai!” He said briskly walking out the department door. A vein could be seen bulging from Arai’s forehead.

Then it was the weekend. Nakamura stayed at home by himself on Saturday. But by Sunday, he was at his limit and couldn’t handle being away from Arai anymore. He went to a bar and called Arai on his cell phone.

“Yes? What is it Nakamura?” Arai sounded mad which was understandable since Nakamura had been giving him the slip the last few days.

“Ok, Nori-chan! I’m at the bar now! Come over so we can go on a date!” He bubbled happily.

Arai twitched. “You expect me to just come whenever you call? Why I should just leave you there especially since you’ve been avoiding me the last couple of days!”

“Right. Right. Sorry.” Nakamura said guiltily. “But you’ll still come right?”

Arai sighed at Nakamura’s selfishness. “It might take a while but I’ll head on over there.” Arai grumbled.

“Yay!” Nakamura cheered. “I’ll be waiting!”

Nakamura waited at the bar for Arai to come. He looked at his watch and sighed. “I hope he comes soon.” He said to himself. “I’ve been really limiting my time with Arai lately… it’s been so hard.” He slumped in his seat.

“Hey there.” A girl said sitting down next to him.

“Huh? Oh… yeah… hi.” There was a pretty girl sitting next to him but he was too busy thinking about Arai to notice.

“Want to go somewhere quiet? Just the two of us?” She said resting her chin on her hand looking at him suggestively.

Nakamura sat up quickly. Then he went into selfish Nakamura mode: “No, because you’ll just end up leaving me in the end like every other Keiko-chan. Besides I already have Nori who will never leave me and will protect me from all Keiko-chans!” He raved like a mad man.

“Che. Couldn’t you have just said you’re already dating someone?” She said looking disgusted.

“Oh yeah…” He realized that probably would have been easier to say. “I’m already dating someone.” He clarified.

“Idiot.” She said getting up and walking away.

“Nori! Where are you!?” He gripped his head. “Hurry up before the curse of Keiko-chan…”

“Eh?” A woman said. “You said Keiko-chan?”

He turned to see the devil Keiko-chan herself. She was the only woman he had proposed to. This was the woman who had cursed him with bad luck with all women afterwards. She was most likely the woman who had turned him gay.

“AH! It’s the devil Keiko-chan!” He yelled scooting away.

Next chapter: Nakamura loses all his courage and self esteem while in the presence of the devil woman. Will Arai be able to save him and release him from her curse? And how long will Nakamura's vow of abstinence hold out?
