Author's Note: Yes. This is short. But more words would not make this chapter any better. Trust me ;)

I bow down in gratitude, for my amazing Beta: Marina. You are beyond amazing, beyond wonderful and beyond every other synonym I could ever come up with.

Just A Little Courage

His lips leave mine in favor of my neck again, and I'm starting to realize that that's because it's his favorite place – but it's not mine. Oh, I'm loving his lips on my pulse, for sure, but if he's really looking to make me feel good, Genma will have to move a little lower. Almost without thinking about it, my hands reach for the belt that's still laying across his shoulders. Gently tugging, I guide Genma down just a little. He chuckles again, but immediately takes the hint, his lips caressing just shy of where I really want them. I know he realizes this, and it's clear that he's enjoying my slightly frustrated whimpers. Chuckling again, Genma's voice comes out a little throaty, "You sure know what you want, don't you?"

"Hm-mm, I do… You know what I want too," Smiling, I look down at brown, tousled locks. Undecided between keeping my hands on either side of the belt, or burying them in his hair again. Genma chuckles lightly once more, his hands gently massaging my ass a little as his lips tease just around my nipple.

"I like taking my time, though," Looking up for a moment, he flashes me a quick wink before – finally – closing his lips around the little nub that's aching for his attention. Hands moving up a little, Genma holds on to my sides, gently pushing me sideways and down. Smiling, I let him lay me on my side, my hands seeking support on strong shoulders for just a moment. The contrast between my own, tanned skin and his paler one is almost stunning and another soft moan escapes me – though that could've just been caused by his expertise with his lips and tongue.

"Yeah? You like that?" There is another chuckle in his voice, I love hearing his chuckles. Genma seems to laugh a lot when he's happy – and that's absolutely fine by me. As his hand finds my cock again, I am unable to really answer him, but my moans are getting increasingly louder and he seems to get the gist of it anyway.

One leg slips in between mine, pushing them apart just a little further. Genma's hand is getting serious now, and I can feel how my breath hitches in my throat. My hands are buried in brown locks, my moans getting louder with every second, "Ay, oh god… Shit, Genma… So good…"

"Hmm-mm," Humming against my skin, Genma pulls his hand back a little, instead letting it glide over my ass once more, "Not yet, though. Not yet, Iruka…"

A little frustrated, my hands increase their hold on his head, but Genma only chuckles again, "Wouldn't want to miss out on that, Iruka. You'll get what you deserve from me, I promise. Just not yet…" He gently pushes me on my back, crawling over me as he slowly, ever so slowly kisses his way back up to my lips once more.

I make sure to greet them with a passionate kiss, wrapping one arm around his waist while the other hand remains buried in his hair. My hand slowly wanders down, cupping his ass, massaging gently. Genma lets out a low moan, breaking out of the kiss and dropping his head to rest in the crook of my neck. I can feel soft kisses, can hear him moaning softly, panting. The hand that was tangled up in his hair travels down to meet its counterpart and I chuckle a little as Genma seems to instinctually curve his back, pushing his ass up a little, "Yeah… Oh-hmm… Like that, Iruka. Just like that… Yeah… Oh, keep doing that…"

Like I'd stop when he's making such delectable sounds! The soft kisses have seriously decreased in frequency – Genma's attention wholly on the way my hands feel on his body – I figure that's a good thing. But I want more. Rolling over, I push him on his back, press my lips against his as my fingers work to open his pants. Before I slide them down, I pull out of the kiss for a moment, study his face, "Are you okay with this?"

"Ah… Iruka," His voice is throaty, and Genma moans softly as he bites his lip, "More than okay… Please…"

As I slide down pants and underwear alike, my eyes feast on the sight before them. Genma's cock stiffly stands to attention, all but begging me to slide my lips around it. Which I do. A loud moan erupts from the man that I've loved for four years, strong hands gently tangling up in my hair. The band that once kept it together is long gone – I have no idea when or where or how it went, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that he is obviously enjoying my attentions.

It's been a while since I did this, and honestly I was scared that I might have gone a little rusty. But as my tongue and lips work around his cock I realize that I most certainly am not. And that Genma is enjoying himself. That much is crystal clear. The hold he has on my head tightens for a brief moment, before I can feel all of him relax. Swallowing, I smile. That didn't take long at all…

Releasing his wilting cock, my eyes search for his. Genma's face is flushed, his lips slightly parted as he pants softly. But his dark eyes shine brightly, and he smiles at me, "You're amazing," He breathes, hands still stroking my head. Smiling back at him, I crawl up over his body, bringing my lips as close to his as I can without actually touching.

"Am I now?" The teasing tone cannot be helped, I feel like drawing this out as long as I possibly can. Or as long as I can stand it, at least.

Smiling back, Genma wraps his arms around me, pulling me tight against his own body, "Yes."

Relaxing into his gentle hold, I smile, placing soft kisses on his jaw as my hands struggle to find someplace to touch. Chuckling, he pulls me in even tighter, wrapping his legs around me now as well, "You're stuck now. All mine," Laughing softly, Genma beams at me.

I let out a frustrated sound, but decide against struggling. It's not that I mind this at all, I'm just a little too horny to cope with the 'no touching' situation. But Genma's eyes open wide and he immediately releases me, apologizing. Sighing, I rest my head on his shoulder, "It's okay. I don't mind. I just…" I swallow hard, my fingers unconsciously toying with his hard nipple, making him moan softly, "I want to touch. And be touched…"Pulling a face, I whisper, "It's been so long…"

His soft sigh sounds relieved somehow, his tone low as I feel the words resonating through Genma's chest, "Same here."

"Really?" Shooting up, I rest my hands on either side of him, staring down at the man in disbelief.

Genma chuckles a little embarrassedly, "Is it that surprising?"

"Well… Yeah, I guess…" Blinking, I study his features for a moment. Genma is so damn hot, how can he not be getting any?

Another embarrassed chuckle sounds through the quiet room, "What? Just because I could doesn't mean I want to… Honestly…" Looking away for a moment, he wraps his arms around me again, loosely this time but just enough to pull me back down and on top of him, "Honestly Iruka… Ever since I realized that I wanted you… I haven't really tried dating much anymore. Partly because… I just wasn't interested anymore and partly…" Looking back at me, Genma gazes deep into my eyes. It's distracting, but I can still hear his whispered words. They sing through my heart, warming even the deepest, darkest places there, "I wanted to be available should you ever… Notice me…"

A warm smile spreads across my face, "Oh, I noticed you… I definitely noticed you."

Chuckling again, Genma shifts on the bed so that we lay on our sides facing each other. Leaning over, he whispers in my ear, his soft breath sending shivers down my spine, "Know what I noticed about you?" He shifts again, his hand softly running up and down the front of my pants, his tone dropping even further, "This, right here, is begging me to pay attention…"

I whimper softly, unable to speak. Panting, I nod. Wrapping my arms around his neck I push myself up against that stroking hand that feels so good.

He chuckles again, softly, "What do you want, Iruka? I already told you… I'll do just about anything for you right now."

I nod again, moaning quietly as the gentle rubbing turns into a gentle massage. What do I want? I know what I want. And, given his reaction earlier… Genma might actually be totally okay with that. But it's kind of scary, I don't exactly have the most experience with these kinds of situations. Usually, I end up doing what the other guy wants, just because I don't want to hurt them, don't want to make them feel like they have to take what I have to offer. Not that I mind. Really, I don't. Still… With Genma… Things might be different. He's not intimidated, he's not trying to turn things around. And it's not like I don't know what to do… But at the same time…

This is Genma Shiranui! The very last thing I want to do is mess this up! If I push him, and he doesn't want to… I love him! Taking a deep breath, I open my mouth. Close it again. Shyly looking away, I swallow hard.

"Iruka…" There is something in his voice that almost sounds a little like pouting, "Iruka please… Don't make me beg for it…?!"

Blinking, I stare at him. Feeling the corners of my mouth curl upwards, I try to hold back, but I can't. A devious smirk appears on my face as I let my fingers ghost over his chest, "What if I want you to beg for it…?" I can't control what's happening anymore. I've lost all control. This was not what I had in mind! But I just can't help myself! Something in Genma's voice makes it so that this is impossible to resist. No way I can pass up this opportunity!

His dark eyes glaze over, and for only a second, he seems to pull back. But then Genma smirks, "Your wish is my command, oh Gorgeousness."

My own eyes are heavily lidded as I watch him slide off the bed. Sitting on his knees, he looks up at me. I shift a little, laying on my side and leaning on one elbow I watch him. For a few seconds, Genma is very still. But it doesn't take long for a small, mischievous smile starts to form, "Please, Iruka. Cum inside me…"

Cocking my head a little, I can't help but chuckle, "Where inside you, Genma? Do you want me to cum inside your ear? Inside your nose? You're going to have to be a little more specific, Sexy…"

He swallows, then chuckles again. That slightly embarrassed little chuckle that I am so very much in love with. Looking away for just a second, Genma clearly tries to regain his composure. I try to lay very still, trying hard not to ruin the moment. When he turns back to me, there is a fire in Genma's eyes, "Iruka Umino, fuck me. Please, fuck me. I want to feel your throbbing cock inside my ass. I want to feel how you fill me up. I want you to have your way with me. I want you to cum inside me, Iruka. Your cock, my ass. Please let me feel you inside me."

My mouth suddenly feels way too dry, so I try to swallow. Nodding slowly, I start to push myself up, "How do you want me to fuck you, Genma?"

"Anyway you want."
