"Onii-chan?" I queried, knocking on his door.

"Hai Sugu?" he responded, through it.

"Um..." I peeked a head in, trying to not disturb him. "How're you feeling?"

He chuckled lightly, remembering our spar earlier when I beat him, knocked him down, and then kissed his bruises better. "Much better, thanks to my Sugu." he replied, saying my name with more affection than I was used to, knotting my insides. Baka…

"Um... well that's good to hear." I paused my approach. "Are you sure nothing else hurts?" I asked, kind of hopeful. Say yes. Say yes. Say yes. My excitement at my idea was the only think holding down my shame.

"Not... really?" he confessed, confused. Eyeing me, he finished, "Should something...?"

"Uwah? No no no. That's okay. I was just... you know, if you were hurting I was going to see if I could help you..." I spoke that sentence much too hastily, coming out in an embarrassed breath.

"Help me?" he stayed confused. I silently cursed his naivety, forcing me to say it.

"Um… I don't know. Like, a massage… or something similar." My face reddened as I craned my neck away from him, trying to study the wall behind my back, anything to not see his face.

His eyes peaked with interest at those words. "Well, I mean, I'm not hurt per se..." he started, more confidence in his voice. "But I am sore." He finished, seeming to want to entertain whatever fantasy I had in mind. He knows me too well...

"Okay, then, um... Lie down..." My words stumbled over one another, trying to force my thoughts out. "Oh! Uh... Take off your shirt first."

Caught off guard by that, he gave me a curious look, as if checking how sure I was, and then complied. "Face up or down?"

"Down... first."

After raising an eyebrow, he lost view of my eyes and he lay down, giving me the fortune of not having to hide my flaming face.

Climbing on top of him, I sat my butt on his and began to rub down his back, trying to knuckle out knots and massage his muscles.

After a quick moment of his tightening to my touch, probably from my cold hands, he relaxed into it fully, letting out a sigh here, an appreciative moan there.

Giving his muscles a break, I teased his skin with the tips of my nails, slowly gliding over them. I gladly smiled as he responded with a ripple, his whole body shuddering.

"I could just lie here forever... Maybe even sleep." his relaxed voice slurred out the words of tranquility.

"Yes, you probably could. But now it's time for you to flip over." I said, lifting myself enough to allow him room to flip. I strongly ignored the fact that I was now sitting on his... ! My face burned at this a bit, though he didn't notice.

"You're right... The view is better from here." he smiled whole heartedly.

Trying to not look at his adorable face, I focused on my ministrations, grinding out his shoulders and working on his tight areas, down to his abdominals. He twitched a bit as I reached the bottom. I simply had to laugh, and obviously tease him more. I smiled wickedly, my pronged tail wrapping around his leg behind me as horns threatened to force my hair up. "Oh... someone's ticklish aren't they?" The Saint side of me was completely hidden at this point.

This time it was his turn to redden as he stammered out a denial, one I definitely wouldn't believe. I demonstrated that by digging my nails into his sides and scraping lightly on his skin. I was rewarded with him bucking and begging me to stop. Caught up in it, I lost my balance and fell forward, landing with my lips on his neck. "Onii-chan... You could have just asked..." I whispered teasingly.

Sticking out my tongue, I drew lines up and down his body, eliciting many quickened breaths and gasps at the feeling. I took a few minutes focusing on his nipples, which he seemed to both enjoy greatly, and not be able to respond to with actual words.

Eventually, I leaned up and went face to face, licking my lips and kissing his hard. He wrapped his arms around me and I giggled joyously… that is until he flipped me over onto my stomach, looming over my body. Wahhhhh?

"What're you doing!?" I asked, suddenly confused and worried, no longer in control and feeling, in fact, very vulnerable.

"Well, I just thought," he breathed mischievously into my ear, "that it was your turn."

! "Onii-chan! NO ECCHI!" I tried to flail and shake him off, until his face came around and stopped my actions with a soft kiss.

"I'll stop," he verbally offered me an olive branch, "if you can look me in the eyes and tell me you don't want me to do this." The branch of course, was covered with thorns and catching fire, giving it an Infernal look. His face held a patient smirk, happily waiting as he stared into my eyes.

My gaze broke first, "Be... gentle."

He responded with a kiss on my forehead and a smile. "But of course."

"And if you try to take off my pants I swear..." I held up a finger to his nose, ready to scold him and beat him to death. One of these days…

"Wouldn't dream of it," he whispered, a halo appearing over his faux innocent face.

Okay, so I really liked the edits I made to this. Idk. I enjoy when I can get a theme going through a chapter. I hope you could appreciate it too. Let me know what you think. :D
