YAOI LIME ALERT

"Jeez, Kuronue, did you really think I'd let you get Suichi before I did!?"

Suichi yelped as Yoko dragged off of him. He didn't dare open his eyes and contend with the anger he knew Yoko was trying so hard to suppress.

"Y-Yoko..." Kuronue rasped. "Y-Yoko, I—I don't—I couldn't—"

"I'll deal with you later," the fox growled. He gathered Suichi into his arms and carried him into the bedroom, putting him down on the bed more gently than Suichi expected. Suichi didn't say a word, nor did he open his eyes.

"Well? What do you have to say for yourself?" Yoko sighed.

Finally, Suichi opened his eyes. "Y-Yoko...I—he came onto me; I—I wasn't expecting it and it just—he just—it felt so good! I—please don't be mad...?"

"I'm not mad as much as I'm...hurt, Suichi," He scanned the redhead's body, telling himself he was looking for any sign of injury and not just enjoying the sight of Suichi with his shirt half-off and fly unbuttoned. "He—He didn't hurt you, did he?"

Suichi shook his head. "N-no...I—I wanted him..." he murmured, his face reddening.

"Good," Yoko growled.

Suichi touched the fox's cheek gently. "Yoko..."

Yoko kissed him gently, slipping his tongue between Suichi's lips. "I'm not mad, love," he whispered again. "Tonight I'll pick it up from where Kuro left off..."

Suichi whimpered. "Can't—can't we do it now?" he murmured, pressing himself against Yoko's body.

Yoko growled softly, running one finger down the middle of Suichi's chest. "No, love. Kuro needs to know I don't hate him for this before he gets so overcome with guilt he does something stupid." Regretfully the fox got up and turned away from Suichi's pouting face to head out the door.

"Yoko...please...I'm so sorry, Yoko! I don't know what—I wasn't thinking; I—"

Yoko grabbed Kuronue and kissed him, hard, as he closed the door behind him. "Kuro, shut up," he growled. "I'm not nearly as angry as you seem to think I am." He pressed a finger against Kuronue's lips as the bat looked about to protest again. "Had Suichi felt you violated him in some way I'd be angry. But he doesn't, Kuro. He just told me he wanted you the entire time."

"Yoko, I—"

"Just tell me this, Kuronue," Yoko interrupted. "Why? What were you thinking?"

Kuronue closed his eyes. "I wasn't. He just—looked so damn beautiful and I-I couldn't stop myself..."

Yoko kissed him again, grinning. "Understandable."

"I wasn't trying to go behind your back or anything, Yoko—I didn't even think it through enough to realize that you'd be home in like five minutes..."

"How many times must I tell you I'm not angry, Kuronue?" Yoko said with a laugh.

Kuronue shook his head, his eyes wide. "But how could you not be, Yoko!?"

Running his hands through Kuronue's loose hair, Yoko smiled. "When I first walked through the door, I was furious, Kuro. Anger gave way to hurt quickly when I saw how Suichi arched into your arms..." Kuronue flinched a little, but said nothing. Yoko's smile widened. "But now that I think about it...your mutual attraction could make things very interesting..."

Kuronue stared at him, trying very hard not to look hopeful. "Y-you mean...?"

Yoko nibbled one of Kuronue's long ears, drawing a mewl from his lover's throat. "If, of course, Suichi agrees. And you know how humans are..." The fox laughed as Kuronue's face fell. "Still, he cannot deny he wants you, not after admitting to my face that he wanted your touch. And perhaps there is enough of me in him that the idea would not repulse him as much..."

"You know, I was thinking how Suichi would look delicious in lingerie..."

For a moment, Yoko let his imagination run wild with the idea, his golden eyes clouding over as the very thought of his redhead in nothing but a thong and fishnets. He closed his eyes. Or one of those spiked collars and a leash, and leather cuffs at his wrists...

"What about that plant of yours, Yoko?" Kuronue purred, clearly enjoying the effect he was having on the fox. "You know the one I mean..."

In his mind's eye Yoko saw a vine twining leisurely around one ivory leg and whimpered longingly. He pulled himself together and grinned at Kuronue. "We'd have to work up to all that, though. Don't want to scare him..." They were forced to stop their plotting as Suichi opened the door and came out into the living room, steadfastly avoiding Kuronue's gaze.

The smirk fell from Kuronue's lips. He watched the redhead anxiously for a moment. "Suichi...I—I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking at all; I—"

"It's alright, Kuronue," Suichi said quietly, finally raising his hesitant gaze to the bat's. "I'm not upset with you, oddly enough."

Yoko heard what the redhead had not said and moved towards him. "But you are upset with someone, love," he murmured. Suichi looked away, closing his troubled eyes. Yoko nuzzled him. "Don't be angry with yourself, Suichi. I know you feel like you've betrayed me, but unless you love Kuronue then it's simply not true. And even if it were love and not just physical desire...well, I'd be the world's biggest hypocrite if I refused to share, now wouldn't I?"

"Why does my body crave something my heart and mind know is forbidden?" Suichi whispered, burying his face in Yoko's chest. "I feel like I've betrayed myself..."

"Because Kuronue's damn good," Yoko growled. Suichi flushed a brilliant red and Kuronue smirked at Yoko, trying to hide his own embarrassment. "And, Suichi, no one ever forbade you from...ah...pursuing any sexual attraction," the fox said with a grin.

Suichi glanced shyly at Kuronue and said, "But—you were so upset when you found us..."

"Because it was the last thing I was expecting," Yoko snorted. "And for a moment I thought you two had been meeting in secret—before I remembered that Kuronue had not been here long enough for that. Suichi, I was afraid Kuronue had hurt you; I was afraid he'd—he'd tried to rape you, and I was angry because I knew Kuro had started it and that had I taken just a bit longer I could have been too late to—" the fox's voice quavered and he paused to take a few deep breaths. "Had Kuronue been allowed to—to go all the way," he said slowly, "now matter how much you had wanted him at the moment, I know you would have regretted it deeply later." Yoko buried his face in Suichi's hair, ignoring the tears pricking his eyes. "It was not seeing you and Kuro together that upset me, love. I didn't want you to get hurt. In fact," he smiled at Suichi playfully. "Now that I've thought about it I realize that seeing you together was quite arousing..."

Neither had noticed Kuronue sidle closer until the bat spoke, his voice husky. "The two people you love most, entwined in each other's arms..." he growled, sending a shiver up Yoko's spine. He felt Kuronue's arms slip around his waist and heard Suichi's sharp intake of breath as they slid around his, too. "You would like that, wouldn't you Yoko?" Kuronue hissed, his tongue teasing Yoko's jaw.

"Oh God, yes..." the fox breathed, leaning his head back on Kuronue's shoulder. Suichi whimpered and pressed closer to Yoko, still looking torn. The fox pulled himself under control. "As much as that appeals to me, Kuro," he said, "I don't think now is quite the time.

Kuronue laughed and stepped away, eyes sparkling. "Oh, fine. I'll wait for it, Yoko. But I'll warn you both: I don't know how much longer I can hold off..."

Yoko felt Suichi tense in his arms as the words left Kuronue's smiling mouth. The bat smirked and left the room. Yoko met the redhead's eyes. "He's kidding, love. He'd stab himself in the eye before going anywhere near you again without my permission."

Suichi eyed him somberly. "And would you give that permission, Yoko? Were you kidding? Because I don't think you were." He pulled away from Yoko's arms. "You got all hot and flustered when he—when Kuronue was making all those suggestions...what if—what if I don't want that?"

Silly human morals are getting in the way again...Yoko concealed his impatience and made himself meet Suichi's eyes gravely. "If that's the case, Suichi, then I'll have to be content with my own fantasies and nothing more. I won't force you into anything you're opposed to." He reclaimed Suichi, pulling him down on the couch. "Although...if you are opposed to it then why did you not say so, or even look uneasy, when said suggestions were made? I think your heart wants one thing, and you're letting your mind tell you that thing is wrong and twisted." Suichi hesitated, looking unsure now. Yoko kissed his forehead. "Don't worry. Like I said, neither of us will do anything you don't want."

Suichi was quiet, forehead resting against Yoko's chest. "Why does this have to be so complicated!?" he burst out suddenly. "I love you; I don't love Kuronue. It should be that simple but...but... I can't deny an attraction..."

"Because you're still a part of me, Suichi," Yoko said gently. "It's inevitable that you would see him partially through my eyes, just like it's inevitable that your human revulsion at multiple lovers would be countered by what you've gained from joining with a demon."

Suichi closed his eyes. "I'm not—I'm not that opposed to it, Yoko. I mean, my mind is trying to tell me I am, but—but I know I'm not..."

Yoko's heart skipped a beat with Suichi's words, and the possibilities started running through his head once more. He let none of it show though, merely smiling and purring, "That's good to hear, love, but Kuronue can wait until I can have you myself first." He grinned as Suichi blushed hotly, but the boy was smiling too. Yoko kissed him before growling, "I have to say that I very nearly lost control of myself when I saw you, with your shirt half-off and your fly undone, your face flushed, eyes glazed..." his breath caught and he had to stop. "You are so beautiful, Suichi...I can't get over it..." He stopped again as his stomach growled. "But come. This whole affair has made me hungry again."

Suichi laughed and they both got up, heading towards the kitchen with arms around each other.
