Warnings: Slash, which if you didn't know, pretty much means relationships between guys. Or, as Ayame would say cough MANS ROMANCE!
Electromagnetism
Hatori would call them irresponsible.
The kiss is electric.
Foolish as they seem, they both know all odds are against them.
The touches they place on one another set fire to their skin.
Their world is completely fucked up.
Pausing to gaze into each others eyes, they loose all logic.
In the back of their minds they know how this ends.
"I love you" a snake speaks in a familiar tongue.
It's a repeat process, the outcome never changing.
"I love you too" a dog whimpers back.
It was better that way.
The two share another tormenting kiss.
It was better avoiding the inevitable conflict.
The dog takes a step forward and they fall onto the bed that knows their sins.
This distressed romance was better than none at all.
The snake looks up, a smile on his face.
God forbid if their leader, master was more like it, ever knew of their love.
The tears falling from his eyes contradict that smile.
They both know what would happen.
The dog understands the snakes despair because he feels the same; he kisses the tears away.
They would be ripped from each other.
Their lips meet again in a needy kiss.
Like opposite sides of a magnet.
The snake squirms as hands begin to roam again.
They weren't idiots, just fools in love.
Their attire is quickly discarded and strewn about the room.
They would be naïve…
Their need to feel together, the need to feel attached again, is empowering.
…to think that happiness was something one born cursed in this family could obtain.
Amorous moans escape lips and provoke actions.
They all lived off of momentary contentment.
Eyes squeeze shut and hands seek each other as their love runs deeper.
Those memorable moments kept them all looking towards the future.
Sighs of contentment are elicited from both as they become connected once again.
Kept them searching for the next moment of bliss.
Bodies tremble as they begin to move as one, yet by their own accord.
But then kept them fearing the day hell would rise again.
Breathless words of adoration are whispered as well as screamed.
And who has much faith when your family has its own devil?
Each of their movements becomes more tantalizing than the last.
As long as they had something to look forward to, hell wasn't so bad.
Their hands begin to dig into each others skin.
But what would happen to them?
Their need to feel closer now held a double meaning.
Their hope was each other.
Elation rises as they loose all control.
What would become of them if they lost the one thing that kept them looking ahead?
They fall closer to the edge as the dog moans a simple plea, "together".
Having optimism in hell was better than being pessimistic in heaven.
The snake whimpers the word "always" as they feel their ground slipping.
So that's why in the morning, when they returned to the real world…
Backs arch, names are screamed, and bodies tremble as they finally reach their climax.
…pretending to love each other would have to suffice.
Finally they feel at ease again as they whisper "I love you" and exchange kisses to seal their words.
But for now, the truth could be told.
Never letting go, they collapse onto the bed with rapture.
This was their reality…
Heartbeats slow as they fall asleep entangled in each others arms.
A/N: I really don't know how this turned out since I'm the author and I have a hard time critiquing things that I do. Yeah, which is why everyone should have an AI robot, honesty could be pre programmed and it would be amazing. As long as we could dress them in Gothic Lolita and Cyberpunk clothing that is. XD
Hope you liked it. :
