It was there, with Ritsuka looming over him, blood dripping from his palm and paint dripping off the brush and both substances drying on his skin, that he felt the old scars leaving. They were moving to reform just underneath his belly button in the curve of his stomach just above the top of his jeans.
He shivered as he felt something cut into his skin there and could see Ritsuka doing the same. Once the feeling had stopped he reached up and tugged at the young boy's shirt, pulling it out of his jeans. He then sat up, pushing Ritsuka to sit on his legs, taking the brush and laying it on the nightstand and taking a cloth to wrap around the smaller boy's hand. He then pushed down Ritsuka's jeans a bit to run his fingers along the word now inscribed there.
Feeling smaller fingers tracing along his own name over the nearly dry paint and blood, he started. Looking at Ritsuka's face he saw an emotion he wasn't sure of on the face of his Sacrifice. For a moment he was terrified, thinking he was upset, but then noticed the soft smile spilling across his face.
"You're mine now, Soubi. See?" He stretched up a bit to whisper in the taller man's ear, "Mine. Forever. My brother can no longer lay any claim to you, and you can no longer listen to him. I won't have you controlled by someone who has hurt you so much." With that he laid a small kiss on Soubi's cheek and settled back on his legs.
Slowly Soubi looked down to his own stomach to see the name there for the first time. Ritsuka had cut his name there, then painted over the cuts, first in Soubi's paints then his own blood; it was some sort of ritual he'd found in a book at Seven Moons' library with Youji and Natsuo. From the look of things it had worked.
Soubi shivered again and pulled Ritsuka in close to lay a chaste kiss on his lips and whisper into his ear, "As my master wishes, Ritsuka."
Ritsuka's tail gave one light lash then settled, curling over his and their legs. Soubi leaned back onto his bed, pulling Ritsuka to lay on top of him and turned off the light, petting at one of the soft black ears tickling his chin all the while. For the first time, there was absolutely no resistance or awkwardness from the younger boy as he performed this action.
