CHAPTER:10
Kagami had been lucky enough to have a good education.
An excellent education.
Not that he'd taken to it well, but that was besides the point.
Kagami had studied science and he was aware of the biological differences between humans and wolves, as well as the differences between first and second genders. He knew what alphas were supposed to look like naked, as he did betas and omegas. He knew how sex worked, at least on a textbook basis, between every gender combination there was. He'd donetests on it-and had failed pretty badly but again, that was besides the point.
So he knew that scientifically…
Aomine was a complete monster.
In every sense of the word.
Kagami couldn't look at the giant erection in front of him. Everything about the situation revolted and terrified him. He would've given anything to be somewhere else at this moment in time. Had he died of a sudden heart attack at that very minute, he would've been eternally grateful.
But he knew better than anyone that there was no chance of that happening.
...
"I know you're a newbie so I'll coach you. Be grateful, I don't offer to tutor most people. Normally, if you suck I'll just snap your neck and move on to the next one." He tilted Kagami's head up and Kagami heard the silent order to look at him. Aomine's eyes were almost kind and that scared Kagami more than anything else he'd seen that day.
"But I like you, so I'm going to show you the ropes." He smirked. "Once you know what to do, you'll start enjoying it in no time. With a mouth this big…you're basically born to do it."
Kagami flinched as Aomine's finger came up to trace his lips.
"Open up, sweetheart." Kagami did as he was told, looking anywhere but at Aomine's enormous length. "And don't try anything funny. I guarantee it wouldn't take me long to kill you, and it would probably be a cleaner job than this will be." He laughed. "Actually, you might want to strip. It tends to get pretty messy with novices. Especially reluctant ones."
The 'might' meant nothing. He knew it was an order.
As he stripped, he wondered once again where it had all gone wrong. He had been so close but now…now he was facing the unthinkable to a Kagami three-weeks prior.
Naked, he resumed his position, guided into place by Aomine. His eyes burned scorching trails over his body, settling on the limp member between his legs.
"That will change in no time," he commented, more to himself than to Kagami.
Aomine's hand fisted around his own engorged member and guided it to Kagami's open mouth.
"You might want to get accustomed to the taste-or actually, you're not one of those idiots who says they're a virgin but they've done everything but fuck." Kagami shot him a nasty look but didn't say anything. Aomine laughed. "I didn't think so." He pushed the mushroomed tip gently past his lips, into the hot, moist cavern of his mouth with a groan.
"God, I can already tell you're going to be a natural, sweetheart." Kagami stayed silent, struggling to deal with the foreign feeling of something this big in his mouth. Something that had no business being there.
"Just get used to it. Take your time. I could wait here all day…" He pumped his thick length then groaned again. "Well, maybe not all day…" He waited another minute or so before pushing himself deeper into Kagami's mouth.
"I want to see how far I can get so I can see what I'm working with." He kept going and Kagami tried to relax his throat, fighting the urge to throw up. He scrunched his eyes up, breathing harshly through his nose as Aomine pushed deeper still, moaning quietly in approval.
"What did I tell you? A natural. Five inches and still going. That's more than most people get with me on their first few tries." Kagami chanced a look at his dick and regretted it immediately. Aomine was claiming five inches but it sure as hell didn't look like anything worth taking note of. To Kagami, it looked like it would never end.
The thought of it going anywhere near his ass…he couldn't think about it now. Hopefully ever. Aomine would scar him for life.
That was, if he hadn't already.
"So good!" he crooned. "I-ah-was gonna be pretty rough with you-just discipline, you know how it...is. But fuck, you're at six and your mouth…" His hips bucked and Kagami gagged, clutching the thick carpet in panic as the urge to vomit became overpowering.
"I'm-fuck!" He groaned, holding Kagami's hair even tighter and fucking his mouth gently. Kagami's eyes stung as he was assaulted but he fought the feeling to throw up. Aomine would kill him. No doubt about it.
"Ahhhh, God! Get ready…" That was all the preparation he got. The only warning before his mouth was absolutely flooded with Aomine's essence.
It was never-ending.
"Swallow it. All of it." Kagami had to. It was either that or choke to death. And Aomine kept going, riding out his orgasm as he thrust shallowly into his mouth. Cum and saliva started trickling out of the corners of his mouth as he fought against the waves of semen that Aomine was still ejaculating.
Kagami genuinely thought he was going to die. And he could imagine a more humiliating way to go.
Tears now trickled out of his eyes as the flow started to slow and eventually stopped. He withdrew his thick appendage, wiping it with Kagami's discarded tracksuit bottoms before tucking himself back in with a disbelieving look at Kagami.
"Well you have a hidden talent!" Kagami choked, coughing up some of the liquid in his mouth into his hand, the other still on the floor to steady him. "And I haven't even started training you yet." He turned as he heard a knock at his door before turning back to the omega on the floor.
"Rest assured sweetheart, you're going to have to wait a while before I let you go."
"What is it, Satsuki?"
"Papa wants you."
"When doesn't he?" Aomine groaned. Momoi sniffed the air delicately then tried to peek round him, into the room.
"Oh no you don't." He slammed the door shut, pulling out a key to lock it from the outside. "Stay away from him."
"I'm not going to do anything, Dai-chan. Besides…it smells like you already have…" Aomine shrugged.
"What can I say? With an omega like that I'd be crazy not to."
"Don't make Papa wait," she said, changing the topic swiftly.
"Where is he?"
"Where else?"
Aomine sauntered down the stairs and Momoi went to her room.
Five minutes later, when the coast was clear, she crept out again, armed with her lock-picking kit.
"Don't you worry Kagamin! I'll get you out!" she whispered under her breath, getting to work immediately. She fiddled with the lock in the doorknob for a while, twisting it this way and that before it finally gave way. She looked to the stairway, scanning the area before entering the room stealthily.
She was hit by the smell of Aomine and the sound of someone retching and her heart constricted painfully. Approaching the bathroom carefully, she poked her head tentatively round the door and nearly cried at the pitiful image Kagami made, curled up next to the toilet in Aomine's old track pants, one shaky hand on the rim of the bowl as he vomited his guts out.
She watched him quietly before advancing slowly, trying her best not to surprise him. The fact that he hadn't sensed her already was an indication that what Aomine had done had really messed with him and she felt a flash of intense irritation towards the other wolf.
When she was close enough, she inhaled quietly and reach out a hand.
"Ka-!"
He flew backwards, claws and teeth extended, eyes slightly reddened.
She had been fast enough to see him lash out but not to move out of the way entirely, and she had been caught by his nails, the blood welling up in the thin gashes and steadily trickling down her arm. She hardly felt it.
"Kagamin?" He just looked at her, almost impassively but the hostility was definitely there. "Kagamin…what did Dai-chan do?" He turned away, saying nothing but one of his legs shook almost uncontrollably.
The idiot…
"Kagamin…I'm not here to hurt you. I want to help you. But we need to get out of here before Dai-chan gets back." Kagami didn't make any move towards her and she didn't really blame him. She had done nothing to earn his trust. Quite the opposite. She felt ashamed of her actions, which wasn't common.
"Kagamin, I swear I won't hurt you. I just want to get you out of this room. It isn't good for you to be here. But I won't touch you like…like that. I promise you I won't." She extended her hand again and waited, hoping he'd agree. She really didn't want him around Aomine just yet. He'd clearly been shocked badly and the alpha in her couldn't turn away from a distressed omega. Especially one like Kagami.
"Please?" He still hadn't moved and she debated calling her mother or Akashi for help but then it would likely get back to Aomine and he would be furious. But she was willing to face his wrath.
She turned around and left the bathroom.
"Where…" He started coughing but at the sound of his broken voice, she hurried back, getting on her knees beside him and not minding when he flinched. It was to be expected.
"What was that Kagamin?!" He winced and she realised she was coming on a bit strong and forced herself to reign herself in a bit. But inside, she was thrilled that he had responded at all. He had put some of his trust in her and she'd do everything to prove he had made the right choice in doing so.
"Where are...?"
"Just to my room. It isn't far at all. But it would be safer for you in there. I would give you your own but if Dai-chan comes back, I wouldn't be able to protect you as well." Kagami didn't respond and she worried that she had lost him but then he nodded slowly.
"Really?!" He backed off slightly and she apologised. "Sorry! But…really?" He nodded once more and she beamed.
"I'll look after you Kagamin. I promise." The hostility was now gone, and Momoi took the chance to lean down and help him up. If Kagami was surprised by her strength, he didn't show it. His eyes were slightly glazed and Momoi reckoned that the sooner she got him away from the area the better.
"C'mon Kagamin. Before Dai-chan comes back." She pulled his arm over her shoulder and helped him out of Aomine's room and down the corridor to her own room. Once there, she locked the door, exhaling loudly.
"We made it! We made it..." He just stood there, looking vacant and her heart twisted again.
"Okay…let me…let me run you a bath first. I have some oils that should help calm you down." She peered cautiously up at him. "Is that okay?" He nodded eventually and she smiled, guiding him to the bed.
"Sit here and don't worry. I'll sort out everything, okay?" He nodded again and she brought a hand up, stroking the side of his face. He flinched at first then didn't respond at all. It broke her heart.
"I'm sorry Kagamin. I'm sorry it happened."
She disappeared into the bathroom and Kagami heard her pottering about, running water and opening sweet-smelling bottles. Eventually, he reappeared in a cloud of steam.
"It's done, Kagamin. Come when you're ready."
He got up, walking towards the bathroom but stopped at the door.
She could be tricking him. She could have been playing with him the entire time, just waiting to catch him off guard. For all he knew, Aomine was in on it too. He might be waiting outside, waiting for Kagami to enter the bathroom and then they'd both do the same to him as before…or worse.
He knew Momoi was incredibly fast. Faster than him. But he doubted she was as strong. He would have to rely on his strength if things went wrong. But he was in their territory. If he attacked her, even out of self-defence…with that beast of a father downstairs, he would be signing his own death warrant.
But to let himself be defiled like that again, and so soon. He didn't know how he'd handle it. He didn't know if he could.
He braced himself and walked in past the steam…
And what he saw made him stop in his tracks.
Momoi stood facing the door with her eyes tightly shut, twiddling her thumbs anxiously as she waited for him to come in. The steam had dampened her bangs, the wisps of cotton-candy hair at her hairline forming darker, flattened curls and her cheeks were a healthy shade of pink.
"I'm not looking Kagamin…I promise…"
She hadn't ever been a threat.
Momoi heard the sound of fabric falling to the floor and then the slosh of water as Kagami submerged himself into the bubbly, fragrant water.
"You…you can open your eyes now." Momoi smiled, opening them to see his red head of hair poking out of the tub before the rest of his head appeared, now wet. She walked over to him, sitting on the stool by the bath.
"Do you feel any better?"
"Yeah…" he cleared his throat roughly and she got up. "Let me get you something to drink for when you're done. Would you like something hot or cold?"
"Uh…hot?"
"Hot would be better," she nodded in agreement. "It would soothe your throat after…" she trailed off awkwardly, cursing herself for bringing it up but he smiled weakly.
"You're right. It would." Her heart thumped and she left the room quickly then turned back.
"Kagamin, I'm going to lock the door. Don't let anyone in unless it's me, okay?"
"Sure."
"I'll be back before you know it." She locked it quickly, hurrying out of the room and downstairs to the kitchen. She met her mother on the way up who took in her appearance and raised a shapely eyebrow.
"It's not what you think Mama! I'm taking care of Kagamin! He…" She averted her eyes and said nothing more. Her mother inferred what she could and nodded.
"Don't worry. I think Daiki's about to leave soon."
"He is?"
"Apparently, there's unfinished business that he and Seijuro need to sort out. Some kind of deal. I didn't get the details." The words filled Momoi with relief. Perhaps Aomine would leave without even finding out. It was unlikely, but she held onto the hope regardless.
"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Mama." She pecked her on the cheek then went down to the kitchen to sort something out for Kagami with the maids.
Momoi was as talentless as could be when it came to the kitchen but she had wanted to help make the drinks herself. However, after several failed attempts, the cook decided to take over, telling her that her effort was appreciated but they would do the rest and bring the drinks up.
"Thank you!" Momoi beamed then flitted out of the kitchen, rushing back towards the stairs. She didn't want to leave Kagami alone for too long. He needed someone by him right now.
Momoi was renowned for her speed but those closest to her knew that the faster she moved, the more her awareness fell. That's why she was most suited for surprise attacks and not carefully formulated plans that required both speed and stealth as she lost her sense of perception at higher speeds. That's why she was unable to detect Aomine's presence until it was far too late.
He grabbed her injured arm as she shot past his room, making her yelp in pain and quickly covered her mouth with his free hand, dragging her in and slamming the door behind him.
"Where is he, Satsuki?"
"I don't-"
"WHERE IS HE?" Aomine was the superior wolf. She knew this and wanted to cower, to show obedience. It was the expected action between two alphas, especially ones in conflict.
But her urge to care for Kagami was greater and she stood her ground.
"I'm looking after him." She jutted her chin out defiantly. "He needs me."
"Like fuck he does!"
"He does!"
"Oh and he told you this, did he?" She didn't want to land him in hot water so she turned her head.
"He didn't have to-"
"Then STOP interfering! He's mine-"
"I'm not trying to take him away!" That wasn't entirely true and they both knew it but taking another alpha's omega was serious business, even alphas as close as they were. "But he needs care. You've hurt him-"
"He'll get over it-"
"And I'm there to make sure he does." Aomine said nothing, before pushing her away.
"If I find out you've done anything-"
"I won't. You can trust me." He looked at her levelly, still irritated, then stormed out of the room.
"He needs to be back by tomorrow evening. I'll call Tanaka to make sure he is."
"He will be, Dai-chan."
He left then, and Momoi heard the bang of the front door and finally relaxed. That had been close.
"Kagamin? I'm back." He turned towards her as she walked in. "They'll bring the drinks along later."
"Thanks…thanks Momoi." She practically glowed.
"That's okay Kagamin! Like I said, I want to help you." She sat back beside the bath and they stayed there in silence for a while before she spoke again.
"Do you-I mean, can I…could I wash your hair?" Kagami looked at her expectantly. "It's just that, I give really good head massages and-"
"If you want to…sure." He smiled encouragingly and she clambered up, leaning over him to get a bottle of shampoo. Kagami couldn't help but watch her and his eye was caught by the gentle sway of her breasts as she stretched, outlined by her damp shirt. He turned away quickly, colouring.
Momoi looked down and saw the colour on his cheeks.
"Is it too hot, Kagamin?"
"N-No…it's fine…"
"Good. But let me know if you want it turned down, okay?" He nodded, gaze still averted.
She squirted some of the thick liquid onto his hair then set the bottle down and rested her hands tentatively on his head before bending over him.
"I'm just going to wet your hair a bit before I get started, alright?"
He could feel the press of her chest against him and nodded quickly in order to get her to move back. She did so and he relaxed slightly, sighing quietly as she poured some of the hot bathwater onto his head from her cupped hands before proceeding to rub.
She hadn't lied. Her touch was magical and Kagami felt himself unravelling under her careful, clever, caring fingers. The slightly long nails scratched gentle circles into his scalp as the fingers pressed in, loosening him up even further. She swiped her hand quickly over his forehead, catching runaway trails of soap that had been heading towards his eyes before moving back to massage his head.
Her hands kept working, five minutes becoming ten, and ten, fifteen before she stopped.
"I'm going to dunk your head now. Just to get rid of the soap, okay?" He nodded, completely under her spell. She gently urged him down, rinsing the suds off quickly. The water was now filled with them.
"Should I run you a new one? This one's pretty soapy now. You can wait outside or…"
"It's…it's cool. Do your thing." He had given her yet more trust. Her heart stirred a little bit more.
"Okay…" she whispered, reaching inside for the bath plug and yanking it out. The water swirled down it, the level in the bath falling lower and lower. She kept her eyes firmly averted but the temptation to look at his godly body grew almost impossible to ignore.
"Same again?" she joked, her voice shaky.
"If that's cool…?"
"Of course it is silly!" She turned to smile at him and regretted the decision heavily, eyes finally taking in his glistening caramel skin, taut muscles-
"Sorry!" she squeaked, face flaming. She kept her eyes trained on the plug hole, waiting until all the water had drained out before rinsing the bathtub out and running the water again. As the tub filled, she got up to get the oil and bubble bath she had used before, using slightly smaller amounts than the first time around. She then wetted her fingers on the top of the bottle of oil and rounded the bath, dabbing the against his forehead.
"For the second part of my massage," she giggled.
"Woah, there's more?"
"You betcha!" She went to turn off the tap then positioned herself behind him, rubbing sure, steady circles into soft, smooth skin of his forehead, temples and the nape of his neck. Kagami's eyes drifted shut and he surrendered himself to her touch. Momoi worried he'd fallen asleep completely until she heard him moan quietly.
Whether he knew he'd done it or not didn't matter. The effect was the same.
Her clit throbbed almost painfully between her legs and she pressed them together, trying to ignore it. Her heart was hammering and she prayed he wouldn't do it again.
Her prayers went unanswered. He continued to make them and she began to struggle against the urge to claim. He was lying there, utterly defenceless. He wouldn't know until it was too late.
Far too late.
She couldn't.
"Ka-Kagamin? You should probably get out now before you prune up completely!" She laughed but it sounded forced, even to her. His eyes drifted open slowly, focusing in on where she once had been and where she now was. She had assumed the position she'd taken when he'd first come in except her hands were now balled into fists.
He sniffed the air silently and could detect a newer smell, just as sweet but slightly musky. It was delicious and he knew exactly what it was.
The gravity of the situation didn't miss him at all and he was moved by how far she was going for him.
"Sure," he said softly, rising from the bath.
"There are robes on the side and there's lotion in the room. I'll try and see what I can find in my wardrobe in a minute…I just want to have a quick bath, if that's alright with you. I won't be long."
"Thanks Momoi…take your time…"
His gentle voice told her he knew. He knew and he was fine with it. There were a few rustles, then the sound of the door opening and closing.
Momoi couldn't shed her clothes fast enough, bombarded with images, fantasies, of Kagami clinging desperately to the lip of the bathtub as she pleasured him, took him, made him cry and beg and scream…
Her clit throbbed for release and she was so soaked, she couldn't tell what was her doing and what was the bath's. She rubbed her swollen bud faster and faster, chasing her orgasm and it finally smashed into her. With a broken whimper of Kagami's name and his scent on her tongue, she came, collapsing into the bathwater and shuddering her way through the aftermath.
"Sorry about that Kagamin…"
"Don't wo-" His voice caught as he turned to her and turned away even faster.
She was naked.
Her long, wet hair was swept up and piled loosely on top of her head, exposing even more of her flawless alabaster skin. His face burned.
"Let me find you something to wear…"
Please…please do the same…
She padded over to her wardrobe, a woman on a mission, and pulled out a few articles of clothing, tutting quietly.
Kagami sat shell-shocked on the bed, trying to process what he'd just seen.
Or not process.
Eventually she came back with a strange dress-looking garment.
"This should definitely fit. It's supposed to be huge on me, so it will probably be pretty big on you, too." She handed it to him and turned away again, waiting for him to put it on. Once he had, she turned back, running approving, pink eyes over his now clothed form.
"So pretty…" she murmured.
"Same-ah-same to you…" She blushed prettily, then climbed onto the bed. Still naked.
"Thank you, Kagamin!"
"No…worries….uh, Momoi?"
"Hmm?"
"You wouldn't…mind…uh, putting something…-"
"Oh! Sorry!" She jumped nimbly off the bed, going back into the wardrobe and came out moments later in a thin, white top. Somehow, it made everything worse.
"That okay?" He sighed quietly.
"G-Great! Thanks..."
"Not a problem!" There was a knock on the door and Momoi went to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Your drinks, Momoi-chan!" She opened the door and let in the maid, who seemed completely unbothered by her employer's lack of attire.
"By the way, Madame says if you need any meals prepared to let her know."
"Oh Mama is too kind! Kagamin?"
"Uh-no! No, I'm good." He had been wondering if he'd ever be able to eat again.
"He's fine but we will let you know. Thank you!" She set the tray down on one of the bedroom tables, bowed with a smile then left the room. Momoi locked the door behind her.
"Would you like some, Kagamin?"
"Yeah, sure. What is it?"
"It's like this fruit juice-tea thing…it's amazing though!" She poured him a steaming mug of it and brought it over to him. "Try some."
He reached out for it, and was hit with a waft of fruit. What fruit exactly was beyond his knowledge at the current moment in time. But as he feared, it was quickly followed by a wave of nausea. He battled it down and took a tentative sip.
Wrong move.
Momoi was only just quick enough to grab a bucket before he regurgitated the liquid plus the little that still remained in his stomach. She stroked his head gently, letting him heave until he was done then took it to the bathroom, pouring the contents into the toilet and rinsing it out in the sink before returning to him.
"Sorry…" he whispered.
"Don't be silly. It's fine." She went over to the tray and poured him a small cup of warm water and a glass of icy water.
"It has peppermint and lemon in it. I figured if it was hot it might make you gag so you can rinse with the warm then drink some of the cold. Hopefully you'll be able to keep it down. I want to focus on keeping your water levels up before giving you anything to eat." He reached out for the warm and rinsed his mouth out as instructed, spitting into the basin before she put a straw in the cold and held it out for him as he sipped. He felt another slight wave and she backed off, waiting for it to settle before giving him a bit more.
"We'll leave it there for now, okay?" He nodded. "You can have some more later, once you're feeling a bit better."
"Thanks Momoi…you're too kind…" She waved a hand at him.
"I haven't done anything much and besides…it's not like my intentions were totally pure…"
"It's fine. And I'm serious. I don't think anyone's been this nice to me since this whole crazy thing happened. And I've met Kuroko and Tanaka…" She laughed and lay down beside him in the bed.
"You sure know how to make a girl feel good, Kagamin…" She smiled softly, reaching out to stroke his hair without thinking. Once she realised what she was doing, she hesitated but he didn't seem put off at all so she continued. "I just thought that after what Dai-chan did…" She left it there, letting him fill in the blanks. He sighed, settling down further.
"I honestly can't believe you two are related, let alone siblings…"
"Well, technically we're not." Kagami's eyebrows went up.
"Not what?"
"Siblings. We're cousins."
"Cousins?" She nodded, lying against him. He angled his body automatically to make her more comfortable whilst keeping close to her.
Then froze as he realised what he'd just done. She noticed straight away.
"Kagamin? Did I-"
"No! No, I-it's me, I…" He trailed off, not sure how to finish the sentence.
I'm just shocked I acted like an omega?
"If you're sure…" She gave him a worried look but he nodded earnestly so she relaxed. Which in turn relaxed him.
Oh God.
"S-So…you were saying?"
"Yeah, we're cousins." Kagami narrowed his eyes, thoroughly confused.
"Wait…but you have the same parents…" She giggled.
"We're both adopted. Couldn't you tell?" Kagami could tell that there were major differences between the two of them and Akashi but he hadn't thought that far out.
"Adopted? So you were part of a different family…?" She shook her head.
"Not even that. Different clan."
"Clan?"
"Uh huh…"
"So…why did you move clan?"
"'Moving' isn't really the right word for it…" She laughed but it was sad. Kagami picked up on this and put a tentative arm around her. She snuggled into him immediately.
"Then…or do you not want to talk about it…?"
"Mmm, no. I don't mind telling you…only because it's you…" She shot him a flirtatious look and he blushed. She pinched his cheek playfully but it turned into a caress. "They don't exist anymore. They were wiped out."
Kagami's mouth fell open.
"Or at least…if anyone still exists, we sure don't know about it. We were rogues, I guess."
"That's…so damn sad…"
"It is, isn't it?" She sighed. "Actually, Dai-chan's parents adopted me after my parents died but then something…" She exhaled in a rush. "Something happened…and Mama and Papa took us both in. And the rest is history, as they say."
Kagami didn't ask what the something was. It was evidently painful and he knew she didn't want to talk about it. She had already confided so much in him.
"So you're both part of this family but only you and…" he hesitated on Aomine's name but she picked up where he left off.
"Yup. Only Dai-chan and I are blood family." Kagami nodded. "Dai-chan…" she started. "He does stupid things; reckless things; cruel things…but believe me when I say he isn't all bad. He isn't really bad at all…he's just hurt…And I know that it doesn't justify anything he's done but…he's hurt Kagamin. I've tried to heal him but I can't. I don't know if anyone can. But he's the last tie I have to who we are. He's always been there, always looked out for me…I can't explain it but…" She faded away and Kagami nodded. He understood.
More than she knew.
"I get you. I get that you guys were raised differently. You think differently." He laughed but it was a bit hollow. "Actually, I guess I'm the one who's different-"
"You're special, Kagamin, special. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. There's something so pure about you…" She lowered her eyes. "I tried to keep away but your pull is too strong. I can see why Dai-chan doesn't want anyone else to touch you. I wouldn't." There was no mistaking the possessiveness in her voice but Kagami wasn't threatened by it.
If anything, there was a part of him, deep inside, that wanted it. Craved it.
He inhaled deeply, trying to clear his head.
"But Dai-chan was right about one thing…"
"He was? Didn't know that was possible…" She laughed, eyes twinkling.
"Trust me, it doesn't happen often…" Her gaze grew heavy…hot…Kagami found himself squirming slightly under it.
"Two things actually." Her voice was rougher. "Your scent is a big problem…and you're a very special wolf. Very special." Kagami's throat felt dry but he wasn't afraid. Not at all.
"Can you…can you help? With my scent?" Momoi's eyes searched his.
"Are you…" He nodded, colour rising in his cheeks.
"If Aomine finds out I've used the blockers again…he'll…" She stroked his face, humming in understanding.
"I know. But…you're sure?" He held his breath a second, then released it.
"Sure. I'm sure."
"Well…okay…" Momoi's hands shook slightly with excitement but she stamped it down. "I'll keep it PG, okay?" she joked and was relieved when she got a laugh, albeit one as shaky as her hands.
She rolled him onto his back and came up close beside him, hooking a leg over his. Kagami could feel the heat radiating from her taut yet supple body and the warmth of her slightly irregular breathing.
Her hand came back to stroke his jaw as she lifted her face and kissed his neck softly, reading his body for a reaction. Other than the small nod to continue, there was none.
She lowered her lips to his skin again, kissing deeper with a hint of tongue. She heard his gasp slightly and continued, with more fervour.
Kagami's scent started to become more noticeable so she kept going and slowly slid a hand down the front of his robe, heading straight for his nipple.
Cautious fingers squeezed it then withdrew.
"Am I going too far?" she breathed, marvelling at how gorgeous he looked. He traced his tongue over his dry lips, shaking his head.
"I-It's fine…" Her hand returned to play with his hard bud as she kissed a trail up to his face then back down. Something told her that his mouth was sacred, and she didn't want to breach Aomine's territory. But she did want to make the redhead feel good.
And she wanted him to know it.
"I want to make you mine…I do…I do…" Her words were hushed, almost hasty. Kagami moaned quietly like he had in the bath. "I love that noise…make more…for me…" He did so again and she sucked hard on one of his scent glands, getting hit by another wave of his sweetness. It was heady and intoxicating. She couldn't get enough.
"So beautiful…I wish you were mine…I'd take care of you. I promise I would…" She was entering dangerous territory. He wasn't hers to take. She knew that. But she couldn't stop.
Kagami felt her growing wetness on his leg and couldn't pretend that his body wasn't responding to her as well. But his fear of Aomine kept his arousal for overtaking him entirely. Not so for Momoi.
She ground her mound against him, the words spilling out as her scent filled the air alongside his.
"I'd care for you…I know I would…If you'd let me-"
Piercing sapphire.
It was all she could see.
And she realised.
"But he'll care for you more than me. More than I ever could. I know he will. He's good, Dai-chan is good…" It was a murmured chant, almost reverent. "He cares more than anyone…"
While his scent was still heavy, she nipped at his neck a little too sharply, drawing a bed of crimson that she quickly licked away before rubbing her own gland against his, talking all the while.
"He just needs healing. He's good, so caring, loving…don't give up on him…" His scent was gradually masked and she repeated the process on the other side, slowly calming down.
"I'm so sorry Kagamin…" she sighed. "I went too far-"
"You didn't. I…thanks Momoi." He leaned in slightly, then all the way and kissed her on the cheek, blushing like a schoolboy. She giggled.
"You're so cute it isn't right!"
They both woke up around the same time, sunlight streaming through her window. They'd slept for over twelve hours.
"Best. Sleep. Ever." She rolled off him and out of bed, pushing her hair out of her face with a content sigh. "Are you hungry yet?" Kagami shook his head.
"My stomach still feels weird. Maybe I should wait until I get back…"
"You're right. Anyway, feel free to freshen up. I'm going to go find something to nibble on and then we can take you back." She grabbed the robe he'd used yesterday then exited the room in search of nourishment.
Kagami lay on the bed a while longer, just thinking about the day before, then got up.
He had never been one to dwell on the past and he wasn't about to start now.
After Momoi had eaten and they had both gotten ready, she walked him downstairs to where another car was waiting besides Aomine's.
"The driver can take back Dai-chan's. We'll ride in the other one."
Seira went out to see them off, handing Kagami a care package.
"It should have everything you need in there." He smiled gratefully.
"Thanks so much, Seira-san." She kissed him on the cheeks.
"I really hope you come back to visit us soon. It's been lovely having you here. Hopefully you and I will get to talk more next time." She beamed at him and he smiled back.
"I'd really like that." And he would.
He climbed into the passenger's seat, then got up after noticing he'd just sat on something.
A blindfold.
Momoi climbed into the driver's seat and saw him staring at it in confusion.
"Oh, you need to wear that Kagamin. It's to make sure you don't see the way here. Not that I don't trust you but if someone ended up taking advantage of you to find out where we lived…it would be a big problem for the clan…"
Suddenly, the pieces of the puzzle clicked together.
"So that's why he drugged me…"
"He drugged you? Dai-chan?" Kagami nodded. "What was wrong with a blindfold? Honestly, he's such an idiot sometimes…"
"Sometimes?" They exchanged a look and laughed before Kagami slid on the blindfold and Momoi helped him tie it tightly.
"Hold on…your hair's gotten a bit caught…" Kagami thought he heard a small snip but then she moved away.
"All done! Seatbelt on and then we can get going!" He did as instructed and then they were off.
Momoi started off the journey by playing some music but eventually turned it down so they could talk. They spoke about everything. Momoi more than him but that was because she was a chattier person. Kagami liked that about her.
He found out that she was part of the Miracles' pack but she was the face of all their legal activity. Handling all their businesses and all the formalities that came with the Akashi name. Hence why she hadn't been in the den when he first arrived.
From what Kagami understood, she didn't like most of what they got up to but she in no way put herself on higher moral ground than the rest of them.
"We're all cut from the same cloth, I guess…they're just more open with it."
Kagami highly doubted it. Momoi was a completely beautiful person, inside and out.
They got back to Aomine's mansion by around four. Momoi took off his blindfold to reveal Tanaka waiting for him outside.
"Kagami-san. I'm glad you've arrived safely."
"Thanks Tanaka!"
"I would have gotten Marisa to prepare your supper but from what I understand, you're not feeling well." He and Momoi exchanged a look and she nodded.
"Still sick, I think. Maybe a hot drink then bed if he can keep it down but I reckon he'll be eating the house down before tomorrow lunchtime."
Kagami coloured. Even though he felt he'd held back at lunch two days before, his habits hadn't gone unnoticed.
Tanaka nodded and walked towards the house, leaving the two of them in the car.
"Momoi…thanks so much for everything. I'll never forget how you helped me out-"
"Kagamin, whenever you need a hand, just call."
"I don't have a phone." She rolled her eyes skyward.
"Dai-chan's an idiot. He really is." She shook her head. "I'll get Tetsu-kun to bring you one tomorrow afternoon, okay? Then you call me and let me know how you're feeling." Kagami nodded gratefully.
"I will." He leaned forward and brushed his lips against her cheek. "Thanks again."
"Anytime Kagamin." He stepped out of the car and walked towards the house, turning back to wave at her once before stepping inside.
She watched him go with a smile but it was bittersweet. She had cherished the time they'd shared but knew that that would probably be the last time it would ever happen. And as much as she loved him, she couldn't help but worry about Kagami's safety at Aomine's hands. Because she knew better than anyone that nothing with him was ever certain.
It was only as she started to drive away that she finally noticed something. Or rather the lack of something.
Her wounds from the day before were completely gone. As though they'd never been there in the first place.
...
Kagami fell asleep again as soon as his head hit the pillow, mind filled with thoughts of pink and smells of everything sweet.
He awoke feeling ravenous, appetite having fully recovered and after brushing his teeth, he made a beeline to the kitchen to root around for whatever he could find.
"And good morning to you too!" Marisa laughed. He spun around, mouth full and ducked his head, almost embarrassed but not quite.
"Morning Mari-chan!" His voice was muffled and she smirked.
"Oh it's Mari-chan now isn't it?" She pinched his stuffed cheek. "Charmer. What do you want then?"
"Whatever's going!"
"A banquet it is then! But if you want to eat big, you're going to have to help out!" she joked.
"Cool! What should I help with?"
"I was joking, chick. Sit down over there and I'll get your food."
"No, it's fine! I want to help!" Marisa smiled fondly at him, highly doubting his ability to do more than boil eggs or make toast.
"If you insist…you can boil me some water." Kagami did so obediently as she started getting things out of the larder. By the time she had returned, the water was boiled with not a spillage in sight.
"I'm impressed!"
"It was water…" Kagami waited expectantly.
"Oh, okay then…I was thinking omelettes so maybe…" She hummed thoughtfully. "Whisk the eggs?" She could stop him after a couple if things went pear-shaped.
"On it!" He got two bowls from one of the cupboards, one glass, one plastic, and began cracking the eggs, separating the whites from the yolks and dropping the pale, viscous fluid into the glass bowl. She was watching out of the corner of her eye, seeing but not quite believing.
"What are you doing, Kagami?"
"Separating the yolks from the whites…or do you not like your omelettes really light? Because I know some people don't…" Marisa beamed widely.
"You just get better and better!"
...
He came in as Kagami was mincing onions. Marisa's back was turned as she boiled milk on the stove.
The scent was all wrong.
All wrong.
"Kagami, could you pass me the strainer?" She waited. "Kagami?"
She turned around with the saucepan of hot milk in her hands and dropped it with an ear-splitting scream as she saw the blood, dripping down his neck.
