"Taichi-" he breathes and his words catch in his throat as I gently push inside him. His arms are wrapped around my neck and he's clinging to me like he'll die if he lets go. I can't believe that I'm doing this- that we're doing this. My heart is racing so fast I feel like it's going to beat right out of my chest. Unsure of exactly what to do next, I tentatively pull out and thrust back in. A whimper escapes his pink lips and he squeezes his eyes shut.
"Am I hurting you?" I whisper.
"No," he says, breathless. "Don't stop."
So I don't.
I continue, gaining speed and force, but staying gentle and in control. Koushirou is scratching at my back, moaning and making all sorts of sexy little noises that I didn't know could come out of him. The air smells of sweat and blood and we're soaking wet under the sheets in the summer night air. It's surreal. I lick a line from his collarbone to the soft patch of skin behind his ear, tasting him and drinking it in. He gasps, sensitive to the touch, and his whole body twitches. His throat and shoulders are flushed a rosy red against his normal white, and I don't think I've ever seen anything more beautiful. His breath quickens and he cries out as he comes, shaking and shuddering in my arms, and just seeing him so broken down and so vulnerable and so completely mine causes me to do the same inside him. We collapse into a sticky pile of tangled limbs, drenched and panting. I feel disgusting and know I should go take a shower, but Koushirou tightens his grip on my shoulder blade. I open my eyes and find myself looking into his. He looks incredible. Really. His hair is wild and matted from sweat, cheeks flushed a brilliant pink, and his lips are curved into the sweetest smile I've ever seen. He's looking at me like I'm the only person in the world, and right now, I feel like we might be. The only people in the entire world, just us, the two of us, right here.
It just feels so perfect and right.
I pull him into me and bury my face in his red hair. He exhales and settles contentedly in my chest. Shortly after, I hear his breathing even out.
He's asleep.
A few minutes later, I am too.
