AN: Here's the next update. I hope you enjoy it.
Warning: Contains a bit of HoroxRen smex, so if you don't like it, don't read it!
One down. Two down. Three. Ren pushed the empty shot glass infront of him, and poured another round of whisky. Each shot relieving his clouded mind, the thoughts that he had been trying to escape from all day. The Tao leaned back on the counter, with golden eyes cast downwards towards the floor. The alcohol was settling into his system, and he could feel his shoulders lighten as the weight was lifted off them.
Ren let out a light sigh and picked up the glass of whisky, and swirled the liquid around before shooting it back. The alcohol burned slightly as it trailed down his throat, and hit him directly in the stomach. It was soothing. However his peace was soon to be disrupted when a creek from across the room signalled that he was no longer alone. The visitor moved across the room towards the fridge and opened it cautiously, before stopping half way.
"What are you doing in the dark?" His visitor questioned, "That's just creepy, Ren!"
"I'm entitled to do what I want... in my house," He moved from his corner and walked towards Horo, "Why are you looking in my fridge at this time of night?"
"I, uh... I thought to get a bite, I hope you don't mind." The Ainu smiled nervously, his eyes dark eyes turned to meet Ren's golden ones. A blush tinted his cheeks as he noticed the Chinese, with his slightly flushed cheeks from the alcohol, his soft facial features, and how his lips were slightly parted, ever so seductively.
Ren looked back up to Horo and scanned his face, wondering what the older man was thinking. He wasn't sure where this was going to lead to, but he felt all his common sense leave him, he felt as though he was thrown back the past and returned to his fifteen year old self. No-one seemed to be interested in saying anything but a silence was hoovering around them, It wasn't an uncomfortable silence, but the atmosphere grew all the same.
Ren noticed that Horo had taken a step towards him, and the fridge door was gently shut. The Ainu licked his bottom lip subconsciously with his eyes fixed down on Ren, like he was a child tempted by candy. Ren took the chance to say something, but Horo had beaten him to it.
"Ren..." He let out in a breath, a hand shifted up onto Ren's arm, and rub it ever so gently, "I've really missed you."
Ren's eyes remained fixed upon the man, all his thinking was lost. The alcohol had obviously affected him more than he expected. Horo moved in closer to Ren, after not getting no response, he took that as a sign to continue. He gently put his hand under the shorter man's chin, Ren tensed up slightly at the sudden touched, and looked back into those dark eyes.
Those eyes that were filled with such emotion, it was strong and pure. Those eyes that he had missed so much. He only then noticed how close their faces were, and he could feel Horo's hot breath against his. The way the man's lips were slightly parted, "I really missed you, Ren." Ren watched the way those lips moved, and how they crashed against his own. His eyes fluttered shut, and let out a gasp allowing Horo to move his tongue into the hot cavern. The Ainu pulled the Chinese into his body, with his hand snaking downwards to grab that firm butt cheek. Ren let out a lustful moan, and soon felt himself been pushed back along the room. They bumped into furniture as they went along, and the younger male soon found himself pushed up against the kitchen counter in another heated kiss.
They were lost in a frenzy, hands wandering and exploring each others bodies, finding out how much they had grown, new sensations and new addictions. Horo grabbed a hold of Ren's hand, and pinned it above his head against the kitchen cupboard, his hand slipped in under his shirt and skilfully moved along Ren's body, and massaged and pinched at Ren's nipple.
The Tao let out a gasp, his head lolled back against the cupboard door, his eyes remained shut. Clearly he was losing this fight for dominance but he was caught in a passion that he had missed out on for so long. He couldn't find the words to describe the feelings that he had towards Horo, but he felt shivered slightly as he felt his shirt being removed from his body. He arched his back as he felt that set of lips move quickly up from his stomach towards his chest. Then tongue tactfully licked and teased his nipples, before moving towards his neck and bit and sucked at it. Ren let out soft gasps and moans, before looking back down towards the older man.
Horo's hands wandered down towards Ren's waist, then traced across the line of his trousers, his lips moved back up to Ren's and met him in another heated kiss as he started to unbuckle the belt. Ren felt the pressure grow in his groin, and felt that Horo wasn't moving quick enough,and thrust his hips upwards in desperation.
Horo smirked into the kiss, "A little desperate, are we?" His hand snaked downwards and sneaked into Ren's trousers to grab a hold of his length. Ren let out a loud shuddery moan, and rolled his head back. Horo was surprised that their activities hadn't woke up anyone else in the house, but at this moment in time he didn't want to think about the consequences. Ren just looked so seductive, his mouth slightly agape, with the beads of sweat trailing down his body, and how flushed red his cheeks were. He was the picture of perfection.
Horo's talented hand starts to pump Ren's length, as he worked the rest of his trousers down his legs, Ren let out soft gasps and moans, with his eyes clouded with lust. Horo could feel the heat rise in his own crotch, as he watched Ren, and increased the speed of his hand. Ren felt overwhelmed with pleasure, and kept panting quickly, "Uh.. uh.. ah, Horo.."
Horo loved the way that Ren called his name, the way that Ren looked right now. He knew, at this moment in time, that Ren was all his. However, their moment of passion was cut short, when the heard the crying of a baby in the background. It was like alarm bells ringing, that snapped Ren back into reality. His eyes quickly snapped open, and shoved Horo of him. He quickly pulled himself together and unbuttoned his shirt. He didn't dare look into Horo's eyes, but he hastily made his way towards the door.
"Ren! Stop! Wait!" Horo quickly made his way over to Ren, and grasp a hold of his shoulder, "Wait, don't walk away, please." Ren kept avoiding eye contact, but could hear the pleading in Horo's voice, "Please, talk to me."
"There's nothing to talk about," with that Ren made his leave towards his son's room, leaving Horo to himself.
"Shit," Horo muttered to himself, "Shit! Shit! Shit!" The Ainu walked over to the bottle of whisky and pulled open the lid and took a few quick swigs of, then scrunched up his face in distaste. His trip to China hadn't gone to plan, but he didn't expect to do anything like that with Ren so soon.
He had come to terms with his sexuality soon after the Shaman Tournament. After his nightly activities with Ren, he tried to convince himself that they were just being adventurous, as young people do. He fancied girls before, but now he fancied guys too, but not just any guy, it was just Ren. Ren didn't seem to share the same feelings towards Horo and had told him that it would end after the Shaman Tournament, and Ren was true to his word. He got married, had a kid, Ren had it all – but why did he still come?
Horo was no home wrecker, but it was his sister who convinced him to spill his feelings to Ren. She argued that Ren would never have exposed himself in that way if he didn't care, which he thought was a good point.
"Now what? I never explained anything to him," Horo let out a deep sigh, and returned to his room. The house was silent again, Ren had managed to get Men to bed, and presumed that he had gone to bed himself. Tomorrow would be difficult, but he would explain everything to Ren, whether he wanted to hear it or not.
AN: Thanks for reading, reviews/criticism would be appreciated. I'm always looking for ways to improve things.
