Desire beckons shyly in his garnet-coloured eyes; he hides them behind demurely lowered lashes.
'I want you' he says mutely. His mouth does not move.
Instead he says: "I don't know what I want."
The one he speaks to is not pleased. Dark eyes narrow.
The older one sees through the younger's elaborate lies.
"I don't believe you." His voice is much colder than what the other is used to.
The human body shivers; neither can tell if from the cold night wind or from the demon's frigid stare. Strong arms encase the shaking form, their owners black wings hiding them as they embrace from prying eyes. He leans his head against his captive's shoulder.
'I want you' he mouths invisibly. Voicelessly. The other does not see.
"You're lying" his companion states patiently. He waits.
The young man's lips don't move.
'Don't
ask me to be honest.' 'Don't ask me not to lie.' 'Don't
make me say it.'
His pale lips tremble; they barely move.
"I don't want to lose you."
His master's admission is not lost to him. A fleeting smile flashes in the tengu's black eyes.
Haruka kisses him. Once. Twice.
Kantarou sighs. He falls into the other's warmth.
It's a start.
