Admittedly, the person who told him  this had been trying to explain away why she&#8217;d called someone else&#8217;s  name in bed with him, but he thought it was true enough.   He did not, after all, have the slightest desire to actually take most  of his go opponents to bed, and yet the one thing that would reliably  get him off was remembering a heated game.  The click of stones onto the  board, so faint and so intense when a decisive move was made; the line  of smooth white or black, curling around space itself, so subtly that  the opponent should not even notice until it was too late; the sudden  stillness of an opponent&#8217;s fingers on their stones when they did see;  those were the things he thought of that made him purr into a lover&#8217;s  ear so promisingly that most of them seemed surprised to be tossed out  the next morning as soon as he needed to study.<\/p>\n<p>\nThose were the  things he thought of when he was alone, too, spreading his legs and leaning  back against the cool softness of  hotel sheets, fingers wrapped  around his cock.  He closed his eyes, stroking slow and firm, and  remembered today&#8217;s game.  The cut he&#8217;d waited eight turns to make,  lulling the opponent into thinking he&#8217;d missed the possibility.  The attack he&#8217;d made during the endgame, right when his opponent had thought he had the upper corner all wrapped up, oh <em>yes<\/em>.   Seiji tipped his head back against the give of the pillows, panting as heat curled slow and heavy in his stomach,  fingers working harder.  The fury in the click of the next stone, mmmm  yes.  The narrowing of his opponent&#8217;s eyes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\nAn image of  Kuwabara&#8217;s evil old eyes, narrowed amid their wrinkles and bags flashed  into his mind. Seiji choked, eyes flying open, and snatched his hand off his cock. He felt like he&#8217;d run into a brick wall and been doused with freezing water into the bargain.<\/p>\n<p>\nSeiji rolled over as his erection wilted, and groaned into the pillows.  Damn it, damn it, <em>damn<\/em> it.  That picture was a more effective libido-killer than anything, up to and including being laughed at.  He sighed, muffled; really, he should probably know better than  to use his games with Kuwabara for this. It was too easy to slip, and there went his evening&#8217;s pleasure.<\/p>\n<p>\nBut they were the best games.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe  couldn&#8217;t help laughing at himself a little, because he <em>could<\/em> see the humor in his dilemma, and  rolled back over to stare up at the ceiling, smiling faintly. All right, so today&#8217;s game was off limits. Shame, that, it had been a good one. Perhaps  all wasn&#8217;t entirely lost for the evening, though.  Opponents came and went, but go itself never abandoned him. If he just thought of the board, still and golden with all the possible moves hidden in its simple lines.  Of the  stones, cool to his touch and silky smooth, weighing so little to carry  all the force they did.<\/p>\n<p>\nMmm, yes, that was better.<\/p>\n<p>\nSeiji  fixed his mind on the flow of smooth stones through his fingers and  stroked his cock slow and hard, smiling with closed eyes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>End<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go is everything to Ogata, including sex.
