Part 2:

Poisonous Illusions

Episode 7: Vulnerability

Kyuubi's knees hit the side of the bed and he fell back on it, Haku following. They laughed quietly as their mouths left one another for a short moment. Haku's hands made quick work of the redhead's shirt and his lips descended upon the pulse on the tan neck offered to him. Kyuubi threw the shirt to the ground while groaning at his black-haired partner's ministrations on his neck. Unconsciously, he tilted his head back a little to make more room for Haku as the effeminate man worked on leaving a hickey or two.

"Take my shirt off…" ordered quietly Haku, as he sat up a little.

Kyuubi's mind felt like mush. He couldn't think of anything else than his partner. Although he wasn't one to follow orders, he couldn't quite resist the urge to obey this one. He lifted his hands and slid Haku's tight shirt over his head before throwing it to the ground. His nimble fingers then made quick work of the padded bra and the raven-haired young man couldn't help but chuckle.

"I see you've had quite a lot of practice with those," he commented softly, getting up to get rid of the rest of his attire.

"I've lost count of my adventures long ago…" replied simply Kyuubi, staying lazily on the bed.

Haku smirked softly before finishing to undress and attacking the redhead's body again. He attached his mouth directly to one of the redhead's nipples and sucked, his fingers feeling up the Uzumaki's toned abdomen. Kyuubi's mouth hung open as he started panting, his mind unable to completely keep up with the current situation. He was only slightly aware of the moment Haku hooked his fingers in his pants to undo them. He did notice, however, when the black-haired male tugged swiftly his pants down and off, throwing them somewhere in the room, his boxers following suit not long after. Dark, hungry eyes looked at him and he couldn't help but groan under their intensity. Haku then proceeded to crawl up his body, staring appreciatively at his every detail. Kyuubi then locked his blood-red eyes into lust-filled black orbs. Their lips met softly, before the effeminate man ground his hips down, brushing his erection with the redhead's. The Uzumaki broke the kiss immediately and groaned at the feeling. Haku smirked and leaned in until his lips brushed Kyuubi's ear.

"It's been so long, Kyuu… And your body is so beautiful. It's perfect," he moaned, moving his hips so that the redhead's tip brushed against his anus. "Confirm to me that I am right and that you are ready for this…"

Kyuubi moaned slightly, aching to be inside his partner, to feel his hot walls around him. He hadn't had sex since that cutie in Washington, two months ago, and his raging hormones were screaming for him to have some. "I want you, Haku… I want you so bad…" he whispered.

The younger male shivered slightly and straitened up on his knees, one on each side of the redhead's hips. He started pushing down and Kyuubi Uzumaki's brain was flooded with pleasure. He distantly heard his partner moaning when he was all in, but he was too far gone to really care.

Half-lidded, blood-red orbs glanced at the clock and a content sigh escaped chapped lips. The two males cuddled closer together under the covers in their hotel room. Slim, pale arms pulled a bit more on the tan body to bring it even closer.

"I love you." A whisper, heavy with truth and completely free of lies and denial.

Black orbs glanced at the tan, toned chest. "I know." Conveying something already known.

"What about you?" Fear laced the words, uncertainty, fear of rejection.

A resigned sigh left pale lips. "I love your body. Your hair, your skin, your muscles and everything that makes you male. I really like the person you are, Kyuubi, but, as I have told you before, I already have a boyfriend. He holds my heart, as I hold his. Please understand."

"What happened to him? Why isn't he around?" Bitterness and jealousy.

"He was… kidnapped… some time ago… while on an undercover mission." Sadness…

"How…?"

"We were both on that mission. It was coming along great. But just as we were about to finish our separate jobs, we lost communication. I've searched everywhere for him but he was nowhere to be found. No body, no notes, no threats, nothing. He just disappeared without a trace, along with those we were supposed to spy on. It was Kakashi who told me they had him, although they had just disappeared."

"I see…" Accepting. "Then why? What would he think, were he to resurface?" Fear again, sorrow.

"I hate to be alone, and you were too good to be true. Too perfect. Too pure. I just had to have you. If he resurfaced he would understand. You may be second to him, Kyuubi, but right now you're the one I need most. Else, I'll fall back into despair and I might do something stupid."

"I'm here, Haku. Don't worry. I won't leave you. I love you." Sincerity.

"Thank you."
