Kurogane watched Fai as he was asleep, his long hair smeared on the pillow, his lips and nose a little pushed as he slept with his face down. The blanket had slept down his back, revealing pale-cold-kissed-scratched skin.
Curves, bones, the small of his back. It was all covered with shadows, and he could barely see him breathe. He propped himself up on a mechanical elbow, sighed and closed his eyes.
This, he thought as he felt a warm wave flooding in his arms, is relief.
This is a reward. This is something new. I am terrified, what ifs, he's so still, it'd be great if he opened his eyes now but I couldn't see their colors on the dark, you should be asleep, you're so lucky, the both of you, I can finally rest.
Kurogane braced himself up, covered Fai's back, touching his hair ever so slightly. Their odor was in the room, heavy and colored by memories of some-hours-ago, and he felt like his head was going to explode. He smiled to himself, briefly. He knew the print of Fai's teeth was in the crook of his neck, so he touched it and laid himself back in bed, content about this whole situation. The moment was very quiet and when he thought about the night, he had this impression that their cries had been muffled by the intimacy of this room. As he laid on his side, Fai stirred and moaned. Oh, this was delicious. Fai's sleepy face turned toward him and a lanky arm slid around his waist as he pressed himself against Kurogane.
The ninja grunted, covered light hair with his hand, dark warm fingers entangling themselves there.
Fai went to back to sleep immediately, soon followed by his lover-prey-friend-everything.
