AN: Thanks for your patience. My grandmother made it home but had to go back to the hospital. She's now in a physical rehabilitation program at a nursing home.

Chapter 36 ~ Those Three Words

Allen, now half awake, rolled over and rubbed his face against Kanda's groin. The elder teen had fallen asleep and woke when he felt moist heat envelope his member. As he began to harden, he slowly opened his eyes to the beautiful sight of his lover pleasuring him. Sensing the change in his boyfriend, Allen's hand replaced his mouth, and he grinned at his beloved.

"I thought that would wake you up." He massaged the silky head with his thumb.

"Mmm… you were asleep first."

"And this is my way of apologizing…" He took his lover's length back into his mouth and sucked.

"Ahh… I need to apologize, too. Turn around."

Allen released Kanda's shaft and snatched the bottle of lube. He straddled his partner so that each had access to the other's arousal. Kanda licked a path up the thick vein and dipped his tongue into the slit. At the same time, Allen teasingly kissed his boyfriend's entrance and coated his fingers with the slippery liquid. Just as Kanda sucked Allen's tip into his mouth, the younger male moved his lips away from his lover's opening and pushed his fingers inside. The ravenette moaned at the sudden intrusion, creating vibrations that caused the albino to gasp and buck his hips. Kanda relaxed his throat, taking all of his beloved's length in. His hands roamed the bed in search of the lube Allen had used. Finding it, he slicked up his slender digits, all the while sucking on the hot flesh in his mouth. Allen was diligently searching for his love's prostate and cried out in surprise when he felt a finger enter him. His cry immediately turned to moans of pleasure as one finger became two and his boyfriend began stretching his entrance. Allen's lips closed around the elder teen's hardness, and he massaged the thick length with his tongue. Kanda added a third finger, and he and his Moyashi found one another's sweet spot at the same time. Both young men moaned at the sudden jolt of pleasure, and they quickly fell into a rhythm of thrusting digits and energetic sucking. As they approached climax, Kanda pressed his fingers against Allen's prostate and held them there while he swallowed around the youth's member. Allen came, his walls tightening around his samurai's digits and his seed flowing down the teen's throat. Kanda thrust into his lover's mouth once more and released with a moan so sensual that Allen instantly grew hard again.

Allen turned around and kissed Kanda, forcing his tongue into the elder's warm cavern. He ground his butt against his lover's cock, his renewed need obvious as it pressed against the man's stomach.

"Already, kitten?"

"Mmm-hmm… Why? Aren't you ready to take me?"

"That was just our third time coming."

"I don't give a damn about breaking our record. I need you right now! Just fuck me already!"

"You sure?"

Allen raised up on his knees and grabbed Kanda's member. Lining it up with his entrance, he swiftly dropped down, impaling himself.

"Ahh…"

"Che." Kanda wrapped his arms around Allen's waist and flipped them over. He pulled out of his lover and licked his lips. "I wanna try something new. Lie on your side."

Allen did as he was told.

"Good. Now hold your leg up as high as you can."

Allen was confused, but he followed his boyfriend's instructions. The strange command suddenly made sense when he felt Kanda straddle the leg still touching the bed. The Japanese beauty thrust into him and brought his raised leg down, pushing his knee up until it touched his chest. With his legs spread in such a manner, Allen felt himself open wide to accommodate his lover. The new angle allowed Kanda to thrust very deeply into the white-haired teen, who was soon gasping, panting, and mewling. Allen's hands danced across the sheets in an attempt to find something to cling to. Kanda's pace grew faster and faster, his thrusts harder and harder.

"Yuu!" Allen came without warning. Neither he nor his boyfriend had touched his erection, Kanda's movements more than enough to push him over the edge.

"Aren!" Kanda came when Allen clamped down on him, sucking him in deeper and milking his essence from his throbbing cock.

The two lay there for a few minutes before Kanda moved, his spent member slipping from Allen's hot passage. He washed up in the bathroom and returned with a damp cloth. He gently cleaned his tired lover's body and took the cloth back into the bathroom.

Allen's stomach growled, and he sighed in annoyance. He was struggling to get out of bed when Kanda gathered him in his arms and lovingly placed him against the headboard, soft pillows cushioning his back. He kissed the scar above his boyfriend's left eye.

"I know you need to eat, my sweet little Moyashi. I've already fixed food for you." Kanda opened the mini fridge and pulled out a plate stacked high with sandwiches. He grabbed several bottles of water and closed the fridge with his elbow. Allen's eyes grew wide in wonder, and he gave his lover one of his beautiful, heartwarming smiles.

"Oh, Yuu! That's so kind of you! You really didn't have to do all this for me… I mean, it's very nice of you and I appreciate it very much but I'm not worth – mmph"

Kanda set the food and drinks down and silenced Allen with a kiss. He broke away and brought the boy's left hand to his lips. He kissed the silver band on Allen's ring finger and smiled at him.

"You're beyond worth it, and I want to do things like this for you. Please let me."

Allen threw his arms around Kanda's neck and sobbed against his chest. The ravenette wrapped one arm around him and used his free hand to stroke the snowy white hair.

"Shh, Aren. It's okay. I just wish you'd accept how much I love you and –"

"Did you just say 'I love you'?!" Allen's tear-filled eyes met Kanda's concerned ones.

"Hnn? Yeah, I did. I've been scared to say it, but I've felt it since I met you. I love you, my beautiful Aren. Please, believe me and let me take care of you. I love you, and I want to do nice things for you without you saying that you don't deserve it. I love you, and I don't want you to ever feel like I don't."

"I love you, too. I'm sorry I keep panicking and being insecure. I don't mean to be."

"I know." He reached for the plate and brought a sandwich to Allen's mouth. "Now will you please eat so you don't get sick, Baka Moyashi?"

Allen grinned and took a bite of the offered food.

AN: So this was short, but I wanted to end it here after Kanda finally said those three words.
