Ch 03: Shelter
Shimizu perked her ears towards the door as she heard the lock click, returning her attention to the bills before her for just a moment longer before sighing softly, setting aside her checkbook and rising from the kitchen table, padding quietly towards her brother as he entered the apartment. Kageyama reached out to her and tugged her close, Shimizu carding her fingers through his hair and purring softly as he nuzzled into her neck, inhaling the scent of her lotion and shampoo for a moment before pulling back and searching her eyes, giving her a soft kiss.
"How was your night?" She asked gently, Kageyama humming and shrugging absently while stripping out of his coat, kicking off his shoes before shifting to pick her up around her waist, holding her slight weight against him easily. Shimizu rested her arms lightly around his shoulders, wrapping her thighs around his hips and tilting her face up again as Kageyama gave her another kiss, carrying her to their bedroom. He continued kissing her slowly as he lay her down against the blankets and sheets, Shimizu already untying her robe and allowing the fabric to fall free, Kageyama sighing quietly as he nuzzled between her breasts and kissed over her heart, cupping one of her breasts and teasing her nipple lightly while latching onto the other and starting to suck.
Shimizu sighed pleasantly, carding her fingers through her brother's hair and humming gently, closing her eyes and reclining back against the pillows scattered here and there, Kageyama kneading at her breasts slowly and purring softly while he suckled. He sucked at her breast for several long, lingering moments until he was satisfied, kissing at the tops of her breasts and the curve of her clavicle before lifting himself up to kiss her again.
Shimizu moaned softly as Kageyama kissed her slow and deep, letting out a soft sound of want as he parted her thighs and quickly freed his cock, guiding himself between her wet lips and pressing into her slowly. Once he was buried to the hilt he started bucking his hips rhythmically, building a steady pace between them, Shimizu's toes curling as he quickly found her g-spot and brought her to orgasm after only a few deep thrusts. She whined and arched against him, her pussy clenching tightly around his cock as he continued to fuck her, Shimizu moaning sweetly and carding her fingers through his hair as he kissed at her shoulder and neck slowly.
"Chai told me he loved me." Kageyama whispered, hiding his face against her shoulder and tightening his grip on her thighs, Shimizu humming and purring softly while petting Kageyama's nape, searching her brother's eyes as he kissed her slowly, his rhythm stuttering, his breath hitching as he started to cum.
Shimizu gasped and cried out eagerly, biting her lip and blushing at the sensation of her brother cumming inside of her, cupping his cheek and arching up for another kiss as Kageyama canted his hips forward slowly, filling her with warmth. She licked into his mouth, her purring soft and soothing as she whispered gently, "That's what you wanted, isn't it? You wanted to be closer to him?"
"Yeah." Kageyama whispered, withdrawing from her gently and sighing while rolling onto his side, Shimizu propping her head up and looking down at him, her expression gentle and affectionate as she pet over her brother's fluttering heart.
"Did you tell him you loved him too?" She asked quietly, Kageyama nodding and rolling over to nuzzle between her breasts, latching onto her closest nipple and suckling gently, Shimizu sighing and cradling his head against her breast, carding her fingers through his dark hair and relaxing beneath his touch. "Are you worried about him finding out about us?" She asked, Kageyama's tongue flicking across her nipple as he hummed softly and started sucking harder, Shimizu biting her lip and letting out a soft moan as her brother steadily drew out her milk. "You don't have to worry about anyone finding out about us, Tobio. I already agreed to surrogate for an Alpha again. No one will ever know."
Kageyama drew back from her breast, lapping at her nipple for a moment longer before searching her eyes, shifting up slightly and lifting her leg up to guide his cock inside of her again. He shared her breath, starting to thrust slowly as he kissed her lips, Shimizu gasping and moaning hotly against his mouth.
It didn't take long for the desire between them to build into something ravenous, Kageyama grunting softly as he fucked his sister quickly, lacing their hands together while Shimizu clenched tightly around him, begging sweetly for more. Her voice continued to rise until she was crying out sharply and cumming around his cock, whining desperately at the feeling of Kageyama cumming inside of her again in hot spurts, her brother searching her eyes and pressing their foreheads together while panting unevenly, wrapping his arms tightly around her slim waist.
"You're going to let that vulpine breed you again, aren't you?" He asked, Shimizu humming softly and nodding, petting her brother's jaw gently.
"He agreed to pay me for carrying his kits, and we're drowning on our own. We need that security, Tobio." Kageyama frowned at Shimizu's words, and she added gently, "I know you don't like him, but he's been good to me since I carried his first kits. He's wanted me to carry more kits for him since high-school. He offered a lot of money this time."
"He was your teacher." Kageyama growled softly, dipping back his ears a bit. "You were sixteen, Kiyoko. He raped you."
"I wanted it." Shimizu sighed, searching Kageyama's eyes and nuzzling him gently. "You know how I felt about him in high-school. I wanted us to be tied together, I seduced him intentionally. We both wanted to have sex, and he made certain every time he knotted me that he had my express consent." She kissed her brother sweetly, adding gently while petting his jaw. "He protected me from father. He protected you, too."
Kageyama's expression softened a bit at that, thinking about the pitch-black vulpine that Shimizu had carried kits for before. He had bred Shimizu in high-school for several months before she'd become pregnant, and in exchange for her silence he'd paid her for her surrogacy and given her and Kageyama a place to stay, away from their abusive father. Shimizu had carried three kits for the vulpine just as she had turned seventeen, and since then he had pursued her for more, offering her arrangements time and time again. Until now, Shimizu had declined every time, but now that she was pregnant with Kageyama's pup they didn't have any other options.
Kageyama sighed and smoothed his hand along the rise of her ass before cupping one of her pert cheeks and kneading gently, mumbling quietly, "He's going to raise our baby as if it were his own…"
Shimizu nodded slowly, searching her brother's eyes, arching up and kissing him gently, her brother kissing her for a few moments longer before hiding his face against her shoulder once more. She cupped his nape, purring and whispering against his ear, "I love you, Tobio. I want to have pups with you, but this isn't the time for us to start a family. It's better this way. You know it is."
"I know." Kageyama whispered, drawing back a bit and kissing Shimizu slow and deep, his sister gasping and whining softly as he rocked his hips and slowly started fucking her again, pressing her back against the mattress while she locked her ankles against the small of his back, her toes curling.
Kageyama knew Shimizu's sire would never hurt her, and he also knew that with the Alpha breeding her with the intent of several kits, it meant they could continue being intimate together whenever they liked. Her surrogacy would provide excellent cover for Shimizu's pregnancy as her stomach started to swell. Kageyama held his sister's waist, arching her backwards against the pillows beneath her and latching onto a breast as he continued fucking her, drinking several mouthfuls of the warm, sweet milk that greeted his tongue, Shimizu clenching around him tightly as she tangled her fingers in his dark hair.
Shimizu had introduced Kageyama to sex right around the time of her first pregnancy. They'd both been starved for attention and affection for so long, dealing with Kageyama's mother's suicide as well as their drunk, abusive father, that being together intimately came as naturally to them as breathing. Once they crossed that threshold, blurring the line between siblings and lovers, they explored together eagerly, falling hopelessly in love with one another, a secret only for them to know.
The teacher who sired Shimizu's first kits never had any idea that she and her brother were intimate with one another, and they continued sharing the same room while living under his roof, becoming more intimate with one another over the months they spent together as her stomach grew fat with kits and her breasts swelled with milk. Kageyama suckled her often, and Shimizu gave herself to her brother willingly each and every time he wanted to fuck her. They were always together, and as their intimacy grew they were nearly inseparable.
It also became exceedingly apparent that Kageyama was blatantly jealous of her sire. Seeing the way Shimizu was with the Alpha sparked within him the desire to one day breed Shimizu until he gave her pups, too. He wanted his sister all to himself. She had been through so much with him, she knew all his secrets, everything about him, and accepted him and loved him unconditionally. He knew he would never share a connection like that with anyone else other than his older sister. He loved her so much it ached to be away from her, and Kageyama was especially jealous and defensive when witnessing Shimizu share intimacy with anyone else, despite his sister reassuring him time and time again the arrangement she held with her sire in no way compared to the feelings she had for him.
After Shimizu gave birth, the Alpha had taken care of all expenses and waited patiently for the kits to be weaned, taking them from Shimizu once they had grown a bit larger and were ready to be safely separated from her. She and Kageyama had moved out from under his roof and started a new life for themselves within the following weeks. They'd been on their own ever since. Now, cities away from their abusive father and Shimizu's sire, trying to make it for the first time completely on their own, Kageyama and Shimizu had both decided that they wanted to start a family together some day. Kageyama wasn't the only one who fantasized regularly about Shimizu carrying his pups. They weren't especially careful during sex, and without being on birth control it had only been six months or so of living on their own before Kageyama had accidentally gotten Shimizu pregnant.
He thought about their new life together, moving to a new city, renting an apartment in the slums, Shimizu working countless hours while Kageyama spent all his time at the bar with his bandmates. His sister was right, they couldn't start a family right now. It was too soon, they could barely support themselves. If Shimizu's sire was as gracious as he had been before, once she was through with carrying his next batch of kits they may actually have enough money to live comfortably. Kageyama had to support her in this decision. She always knew what was best for them. They were a team, the two of them together, no matter what. He loved his sister with all his heart.
Now that he had become closer with Mala'chai, he realized that he loved the pteropine beta too.
Kageyama wasn't certain what his boyfriend would think about him being intimate with his sister, especially about the subject of siring pups with her, and Kageyama wasn't anywhere near ready to have that conversation. So for now they remained as they always were, intimate in secret, hiding their relationship from others and acting simply as loving siblings whenever they were in the public's eye. Perhaps there would be a day when Kageyama would reveal all of himself to the pteropine he was falling for, but he couldn't imagine doing so now. He needed time to sort through his feelings, and come to terms with the possibility that once he revealed the nature of his relationship with his sister to his boyfriend, Mala'chai may never want anything to do with him ever again. It could ruin everything if the other beta reacted to such news negatively. Kageyama wasn't willing to run the risk of such a thing happening. Not yet.
For now, their intimacy was a taboo secret known only to them.
Shimizu gasped and cried out sharply as Kageyama pushed her over the edge, her nails biting into his shoulders as he groaned and came inside of her again, her pussy clenching rhythmically around his cock as they shared their orgasm together. Shimizu panted softly, relaxing back against the pillows and smiling up at Kageyama tiredly, searching his eyes and licking her lips while rolling her hips down against his teasingly. She held his eyes, her tone breathless as she whispered gently, "Are you alright, sweetheart? You seemed far away just now…"
Kageyama blinked slowly, shaking his head absently while dipping down to kiss her, tracing his tongue against hers before withdrawing from her slowly, excess cum spilling down her thighs. Shimizu was purring sleepily, sighing contentedly and reaching down to press her palm over the small bump barely visible just below her navel, Kageyama reaching down to pet over the tiny pup as well. "Sorry, Kiyoko. I was just thinking about everything. About everything we've endured together, and how far we've come."
She hummed and tilted her face up for a kiss, Kageyama kissing her slowly and rubbing over her stomach gently, Shimizu purring softly and sighing against his lips, sharing his breath and relaxing into his touch. "I love you." She whispered, and Kageyama smiled and kissed her again, purring softly while pressing his palm over the spark of life he'd seeded within her.
"I love you too, Kiyoko."
It wasn't long before she drifted off, Kageyama slipping out of bed and covering her with a blanket before retrieving his phone from his pocket and dialing his boyfriend's number, lifting the phone to his ear and walking down the hall while waiting for the other guitarist to pick up. He answered the call a moment later, Kageyama smiling to himself as he leaned back against the kitchen counter and glanced towards the window nearby, peering out into the darkness while listening to the sounds of Tulousse and Mala'chai giggling together cheerily, his chest twisting with warmth.
Kageyama was quiet for some time before the older beta returned his attention to him, Mala'chai letting out a happy sigh while asking his boyfriend teasingly, "Miss me already, lover?"
Kageyama chuckled softly, closing his eyes and nodding before replying gently, "I think about you all the time. I never want us to be apart."
Mala'chai sighed affectionately, humming a little before purring against Kageyama's ear, "You want to hear the song I've been working on with Tulousse since we left the bar?"
"Yeah, baby. I'd love to." Kageyama murmured, closing his eyes and tilting back his head, listening to the music drifting through the phone. Tulousse was playing his handpan while Mala'chai played his kalimba, the tempo between them echoing back and forth and creating a beautiful, haunting melody.
"It's been so long...
And tin cans and string for years
Is all that we've known…"
Kageyama shivered, barely breathing as he listened to Mala'chai's soft, raspy voice drift through the speaker, the lupine smiling and parting his eyes ever so slightly, tracing the shadows along the kitchen ceiling where the wallpaper was peeling away from the walls.
"Could it be you're really here?"
Kageyama's ears perked towards Mala'chai's voice as the pteropine took a deep breath, muffling the melody drifting through the phone for just a moment before the static cleared, and he started singing to Kageyama once again.
"'Cause my eyes are open~
And everything still moves in slow motion~
Breathless and blue,
And behind your eyes, the sea~
Oceans of light envelop me…"
The kalimba and space drum echoed together for a moment longer before fading away, Mala'chai chuckling softly as Tulousse said something in the background, the pteropine sighing and replying teasingly, "Yeah, yeah. All meaningful songs are about someone you care about anyway, right? I know you're still working on that song for Di'a!"
Kageyama tilted his head slightly, listening to the two companions laugh back and forth merrily before asking with a hint of curiosity, "You wrote that about someone you're close to?"
Mala'chai hummed softly, and Kageyama could hear the smile in his voice as he replied gently, "Who do you and I both know that have the deepest, darkest ocean-blue eyes?"
Kageyama's heart fluttered as he realized what Mala'chai meant, his breath hitching as he asked gently, "You're writing a song about me?"
"I write about what inspires me. Lately that's been a lot of you, Tobio." He laughed softly at Kageyama's tone, asking gently, "It's alright that I'm using you as my new muse?"
"Yeah." Kageyama whispered, blushing faintly and clinging to the sound of his boyfriend's voice, his chest twisting with emotion, his heart fluttering as he asked hesitantly, "Is it okay if I write a song about you too?"
Mala'chai laughed brightly, humming his approval and letting out a few soft squeaks while Tulousse's voice grew louder than before. There was a bit of shuffling back and forth before the ovine took the phone, his voice trembling with playful laughter as he called over the sound of Mala'chai's protests, "We miss you, Tobio! Come stay with us tomorrow night, okay? Say hi to your big sister for us!"
"I will." The lupine replied with a smile, talking back and forth with Tulousse for a moment longer before he returned the phone to Mala'chai, the pteropine sighing quietly and whispering a soft goodnight before disconnecting with Kageyama. He stood by himself in the kitchen, thinking about his bandmates, his new friends, the sister he adored and the boyfriend he loved.
He never realized anything could feel so perfect and complete, all of the pieces falling neatly together as if they were meant to be.
He returned to Shimizu's side a few moments later, stripping down before crawling into bed beside her and wrapping his arm around her waist, nuzzling at one of her dark ears before yawning and closing his eyes, allowing himself to drift off to sleep.
He dreamt of the ocean, of dark grey stormclouds rumbling with thunder as rain poured down across the dark water in relentless slanting sheets. He dreamt of Mala'chai's voice, of his kalimba melody and the faint sound of his guitar. His boyfriend was beautiful and unique, and talented beyond belief. The connection that had grown between them was unexpected, and remarkable. Kageyama truly felt as if he'd somehow found the other half of his soul.
-x-x-x-
A month after Kageyama and Mala'chai started dating, Kairoh called a meeting at The Burrow.
The oniscine was already standing upon the stage with his best friend and girlfriend at his side, the trio talking back and forth excitedly before eventually turning their attention towards their other bandmates as they arrived. They greeted Kageyama first, Tulousse arriving a few minutes later, Mala'chai the last to arrive as he stepped out of the rain and into the dimly lit bar, sighing irritably as he dried off his large ears with one of the bar-towels that Anita offered them.
Kairoh crossed his arms over his chest, glancing between the bandmates watching him as he nodded again, fluffing his feathers a bit and replying to what Diamond had previously said. "Di'a is right. Landing a gig like this is a pretty big deal for us. We haven't played much outside of the bar, and given this opportunity we can't afford to make any mistakes, which is why I expect all of us to work extra hard and practice late. We've only got a few weeks before the event." He glanced towards Anita, the other oniscine nodding and giving him an encouraging smile, Zeryce standing at her side and smiling secretively to herself before nodding once more.
"I definitely feel like it's the right time to make our debut outside of sub-class society." The leporine said, mirroring Diamond's words before. "I still can't believe that mid-class event coordinator actually invited us to open up for one of their other bands!" She nudged Anita playfully, meeting the beta's eyes while adding, "You and your crazy connections, Auntie. We owe you a lot for this."
"Ah, it's the least I can do for you kids! You spend so much of your time here playing almost every night, and I know I barely pay you enough for your performances." She glanced around the empty lounge, sighing to herself while adding gently, "I hope this gig opens up some doors for your band to perform at other events as well!"
"Hell yeah! We're gonna kick some ass! Make a name for ourselves!" Diamond cheered, wrapping his arm around Kairoh's shoulders and hugging him excitedly, the oniscine grinning and nodding, fluffing his feathers once more before expanding his remiges and gesturing out across the stage, his wings highlighted with vivid orange hues beneath the tinted lights.
"Hell yeah we are! And speaking of..." He glanced towards Zeryce for a moment before turning his attention to the other bandmates standing nearby, his gaze falling over Tulousse and Mala'chai before drifting to Kageyama, the Alpha chuckling softly and quirking a brow. "I think I've finally come up with a name for our band. The songbird Oriole! What do you think?"
Tulousse perked his ears a bit, tilting his head slightly and glancing up at Mala'chai before offering a friendly smile to the oniscine. "Uh, sure Kairoh! I mean, it doesn't really matter to me what we call ourselves. Oriole sounds nice!"
Kageyama perked his ears towards Mala'chai as well, taking in the sudden tension in his shoulders and his notable silence, opening his mouth to speak before Mala'chai spoke up instead.
"Why don't we call the band Bunny instead?"
Kairoh blinked, Diamond frowning a little as well, the musteline Alpha glancing towards Zeryce and catching her eyes, the petite leporine perking her ears towards Mala'chai in surprise. Kairoh was quiet for a moment before taking a step closer to Mala'chai and replying, "Do you actually have any interest in our band being called Bunny? Or was there something else you were trying to say?"
"Alright. If we aren't playing nice about it." Mala'chai sighed, taking a step forward as well, perking his large ears towards the Alpha while narrowing his eyes. "This is our band, right? You just said so yourself. Why are you naming our band after yourself?"
The oniscine seemed surprised at the pteropine's sharp quip, narrowing his eyes a bit and watching Mala'chai for a moment before crossing his arms over his chest, replying back with the softest hint of a hiss beneath his tone, "If you have something else in mind I'd be happy to hear it."
One of Mala'chai's ears twitched as he let out a soft warble of sarcastic laughter. "Oh I dunno, maybe anything that has meaning to us as a whole, and not just you?"
Diamond's frown deepened and a low growl started in the back of his throat, the musteline Alpha narrowing his eyes a bit as he replied, "This band is Kairoh. He built it from the ground up. We were the founding members." He gestured towards the leporine across from them as he spoke. "Zeryce and I have no issue with calling the band Oriole, and it sounds like Tulousse and Tobio don't either. So what's your fucking problem?"
Kageyama ducked back his ears a bit, stepping forward and taking Mala'chai's hand, squeezing his fingers and asking softly under his breath, "Hey, are you okay? Is this really that big a deal for you?"
Mala'chai tensed a little and snorted softly, pivoting his ears towards the lupine at his side before focusing on Kairoh and Diamond once again. "We should all have a say on what to call ourselves, especially if we are planning on stepping out into society! Do you want every single person who hears our sound to think of our singer as the entire band? What about the rest of us? We are all singers, we're all songwriters!" He turned his words to Kairoh, the oniscine bristling under his sharp glare. "Naming the band after yourself is pushing us out of the spotlight. People won't even know our names! They'll only be looking at you!"
"Chai, hey…" Tulousse tried, reaching out to touch the pteropine's forearm and ducking his ears back a bit. "It isn't set in stone, we can come up with something else! All of us, together!" He glanced towards the Alphas opposing his friend, frowning a little as he looked from Kairoh to Diamond, holding the musteline's eyes. "That's okay with everyone, right?"
Diamond returned Tulousse's gaze for a long quiet moment before exhaling a rough breath, perking his ears towards Kairoh and nudging him gently, saying calmly under his breath, "Let's give the kids a minute to come up with something and get back to us, yeah?"
Kairoh hummed quietly, considering, shrugging after a moment and turning away. "Yeah." He replied, short and simple, thought his displeasure was clearly evident in his tone and body language, his shoulders tense despite his every effort to remain looking cool and calm.
Mala'chai stared him down for a moment longer before turning away, padding towards the back of the stage and calling quietly over his shoulder, "I need a smoke break."
Tulousse and Kageyama watched him go for a moment longer before the lupine followed after him, the ovine debating for a moment before deciding to stay inside, leaving Kageyama and Mala'chai to talk things out alone in the alley behind the bar.
Kageyama shivered as he stepped out into the rain, tugging the collar of his hoodie tighter around his neck and shoulders before stepping over to his boyfriend's side, perking his ears towards him curiously while leaning back against the brick wall, looking up into the starless sky.
Mala'chai was quiet for a while, taking deep drags off of the joint propped between his fingers before eventually leaning closer to Kageyama and offering him the joint as well. The lupine watched him quietly while taking the joint from his fingers, inhaling a deep drag himself and exhaling into the pouring rain, not saying anything as they stood together in the darkness, just waiting to see if Mala'chai would open up to him. His presence alone comforted the other beta enough that the pteropine eventually reached over and laced their fingers, resting his cheek against Kageyama's shoulder lightly.
He waited until Kageyama had passed the joint back again before he whispered just above the steady hum of the downpour, "Sorry if I was being an ass." He took another drag, holding the smoke in his lungs for several seconds before exhaling a thick plume, adding quietly, "I dunno. It just rubbed me the wrong way, hearing Kairoh just announce the name of our band like that. Like all of us should be okay with his blatant display of vanity. He's just a spoiled little rich kid throwing a tantrum and running away from his family." He tipped the joint, ashy embers burning as they fell to the ground, fading into darkness at the pteropine's feet. "It grates on my nerves, knowing he comes from money, knowing he doesn't have to be here but chooses to be anyway. People like him, they've never known hardship or suffering. If he would just go back to his family he'd never have to want for anything ever again. He's not like us."
Kageyama tucked back his ears a bit, thinking to himself for a few moments before asking, "You really think the only reason he's living life here in the slums is because he's rebelling against his family?"
"I dunno." Mala'chai sighed quietly, shrugging lightly and taking another hit before offering Kageyama the joint again. The lupine took it once more, inhaling steadily, drawing in a deep drag and holding his breath, feeling the smoke constricting his lungs before exhaling the plume of smoke, coughing lightly and offering it back while trying to catch his breath.
"Still," Kageyama breathed shakily, coughing a few more times before speaking again, "Hearing you say it like that, it reminds me of how I felt when I first started coming here. I still feel like that sometimes, like I'm an outsider, someone who doesn't belong here." He frowned a little, gesturing towards the rain absently as he sighed, "I'm lupine after all, y'know? I'm not a sub-class. Kairoh is. He's one of you. He's endangered, just like you are."
Mala'chai shrugged dismissively, "Yeah, but other than that? We have absolutely nothing in common. His personality, his attitude about everything, his outlook on life. It's like interacting with someone from a different planet." He chuckled dryly, tipping the joint again. "If it weren't for Tulousse introducing us, I never would have agreed to play with him in the first place." He closed his eyes, resting his head back against the wall behind him, sighing exasperatedly and mumbling, "I love playing music with you and Tulousse. Zeryce and Diamond are okay I guess, and no one can deny Kairoh can sing. Some nights he's really chill, but other times I can't fucking stand his conceited ass." He glanced over and met Kageyama's eyes, arching his brow a bit and saying quietly, "I guess Tulousse is right, it really doesn't fucking matter." He took a drag, exhaling into the rain as he mumbled quietly, "As long as we enjoy the music, it doesn't matter what the band is called anyway, right? It's completely superficial."
Kageyama hummed quietly, considering for a moment before asking casually, "What would you want to call the band anyway? If you could choose any name for us?"
Mala'chai hummed thoughtfully, shifting away from the brick wall and reaching out to touch the rain, watching as it dappled his palm and fingertips, quickly turning his skin a darker shade of grey. "Something meaningful...something that represents all of us." He took a final drag of the joint pressed between his lips before flicking it out into the dark, reaching up towards the sky and smiling as he stared up at the splashes of lightning peeking between the stormclouds overhead. "Flightless. For though we may be flightless, we soar to great heights."
Thunder clapped loudly just as Mala'chai's voice faded to silence, the pteropine staring up at the churning skies, brilliant white flashing over his features and highlighting his frame as he perked his ears towards the growling storm. Kageyama watched him, breathless and in awe, shivering lightly and reaching out to wrap his arms around the pteropine's waist, pressing his chest against his boyfriend's back and whispering against his shoulder gently, "I fucking love you so much, you crazy, beautiful bat."
Mala'chai laughed brilliantly, his voice carrying over the sound of the storm as he rested his arms over Kageyama's, leaning back against him and looking over his shoulder to catch his eyes, his cheeks dusted with pink as he whispered, "Fuckin' love you too, silly pup."
Kageyama chuckled softly, giving him a gentle kiss, Mala'chai sighing contentedly against his lips and kissing him back slowly. They stayed together just like that, holding one another at the edge of the storm, rain pattering against their hands and cheeks as they shared soft kisses in the dark.
-x-x-x-
Kageyama grunted softly as he held Mala'chai's hips, bucking up into his boyfriend and watching the older beta bouncing on his cock, the pteropine gasping and blushing brightly while rolling down his hips, greedily taking in every inch of the lupine's thick cock. His arms were bound behind him, leaving his chest open and exposed, Kageyama reaching up and smoothing a warm palm over the other beta's hammering heart before growling and grasping his hips again. He continued fucking into him roughly, Mala'chai squeaking earnestly and tossing his head back, his weeping cock bobbing against the curve of his hip as Kageyama thoroughly fucked him.
Shimizu wasn't home, she was working tonight, and after Kairoh had ended practice early due to a lover's spat with Zeryce, Tulousse had decided to go home alone to work on music, leaving Kageyama and Mala'chai to entertain themselves for a change. It was the first time Kageyama had ever taken his boyfriend to the apartment he shared with his sister.
Mala'chai squeaked again as Kageyama prodded his prostate, the pteropine begging prettily while flexing against the cloth binding his arms, various knots securing his wings against his spine and keeping the cloth taut enough that he couldn't escape, though his binds were loose enough that his webbings weren't being pinched as Kageyama shifted their positions while they fucked.
"Ah Daddy! Daddy please!" Mala'chai gasped out needily, blushing brightly and biting his lip as Kageyama splayed him further on his cock, the older beta groaning appreciatively at the strain of the lupine's full girth inside of him, "Fuck me, Alpha! Please! Ah Daddy yes! Give me your fat fucking knot! I want it!"
"Good boy, Chai. That's my good breeder." Kageyama growled deeply, licking his lips and watching his boyfriend's expressions twist as he was praised, his cock dripping precum steadily as it slapped against the curve of his stomach and hip with his movements, the pteropine's pace quickening as he bounced eagerly, Kageyama bullying his prostate relentlessly with each harsh thrust. Kageyama hadn't touched his boyfriend's cock the entire time they'd been fucking, and the pteropine's cock was swollen and weeping, a dark, dusky shade of mauve fading to ruby-red at the tip. He yipped and cried out sharply as Kageyama forced his hips down roughly, grunting and cumming inside of him again in thick bursts, the lupine groaning out his satisfaction and panting roughly while grinning up at Mala'chai, his boyfriend lolling back his head and rolling his hips needily.
"Please Daddy! Please let me cum! Please let me cum!"
"You're gonna suck me first, pet." Kageyama growled, Mala'chai blushing brighter while moaning and nodding his head, his thighs quivering as he pushed himself up and Kageyama's cock slipped free, cum spilling down his thighs and dampening the sheets. The pteropine bit his bottom lip, squirming as he worked his way down Kageyama's legs and settled between his thighs, wrapping his lips around his boyfriend's cock and taking him quickly into the back of his throat. "Good boy," Kageyama breathed, sighing pleasantly at the rough texture of his boyfriend's tongue, "That's my good boy, Chai. You make me feel so good, sweetheart. Keep sucking me, just like that baby…"
Mala'chai hummed around his cock, blushing a brighter shade of red and dipping back his ears submissively, swallowing around Kageyama's cock and laving his tongue along the underside purposefully, tasting himself on the lupine's cock, shivering and canting his hips forward against the air as he crouched over the damp, messy sheets.
Kageyama groaned and closed his eyes, arching his back and fucking into his boyfriend's throat slowly, careful that Mala'chai could still breathe as he climbed towards another release, panting shakily and moaning while praising him breathlessly.
Just as Mala'chai was coaxing him towards the edge, Kageyama heard the sound of the front door opening, Shimizu's voice calling through the apartment, Mala'chai squeaking and trying to withdraw from Kageyama's cock, the lupine holding the back of his head and coaxing him to continue sucking him. "Shh, baby...keep sucking. Yeah, that's right. That's my good boy. Good boy…"
Mala'chai whined and started sucking Kageyama quickly, perking his ears towards the sound of Shimizu's footsteps, his entire body quivering as he heard her voice drifting down the hall, "Some asshole decided to spill a pitcher of juice all over me because he couldn't cover his check. I came home to shower and change, I have to be back at the diner in a half-hour." She stepped into the bathroom, Kageyama listening to the sound of her stripping out of her clothes and pulling back the shower curtain, canting his hips forward into Mala'chai's mouth as the pteropine panted shakily against his cock, lapping eagerly at the tip before taking Kageyama into his throat once more.
"Jeeze, that fucking sucks. I'm sorry Kiyoko." Kageyama called back casually, petting through Mala'chai's hair and rubbing at the curve of one of his ears slowly, his boyfriend still sucking greedily at his cock. "You're starting to show already, what kinda fucking asshole throws juice at a fuckin' pregnant chick? Did the cook beat his ass for skippin' his check?"
Shimizu sighed, her voice slightly muffled as she stepped in under the water. "The guy was destitute, so he let it slide this time." She was quiet for a moment, Kageyama pulling Mala'chai up his frame and crushing their lips together in a searing kiss before gripping his hips and thrusting into him roughly, starting to fuck him at a bruising, relentless pace. "Made him wash dishes and promise to leave me a nice tip once he'd earned his meal and then some."
Kageyama hummed loudly, replying to what his sister had said, Mala'chai's breath hitching as Kageyama fucked him quickly, the pteropine's face flushed crimson. Kageyama chuckled softly as his boyfriend tried to muffle his sounds, grinning and kissing him hotly while squeezing his ass cheeks and bucking into him quickly, still ignoring Mala'chai's aching cock as his sister's voice called out to him once more.
"I thought you had practice tonight? You're home from the bar early."
"Y-Yeah! Yeah, Kairoh he uh-" He groaned and flipped their positions, pinning Mala'chai on his back, lifting his legs and fucking into him in harsh slaps, Mala'chai choking and crying out needily while trying desperately to free his arms from his binds, "-he had a fight with his girlfriend, so we all cut out early tonight."
Shimizu made a soft sound of understanding, listening to the sounds barely audible from the bedroom down the hall, calling curiously, "Are you spending the night at home with me tonight? Or are you planning on seeing your boyfriend later?"
Kageyama grinned wickedly while looking down at Mala'chai, the pteropine panting shakily and curling his toes against the air as Kageyama bullied his prostate, squeaking and trembling uncontrollably as the lupine coaxed him quickly towards the edge. "Yeah! Yeah I think I might go see him a little later, unless you were wanting me to stay home with you?"
"Tobio!" Mala'chai whined desperately, his breathing coming in harsh pants as he fought to stay quiet, the older beta arching his back and jerking down his hips to take more of Kageyama's cock, overstimulated tears gathering in his lashes as he searched his boyfriend's eyes, "Tobio I love you! I love you!"
"I love you too, baby boy. You gonna cum for me?" Kageyama whispered softly, holding Mala'chai's eyes, the pteropine nodding and arching up needily, Kageyama pressing closer to give him a slow, deep kiss.
"I want you to stay home tonight," His sister called down the hall, a playful hint of teasing in her tone as she added gently, "I want to have you all to myself."
Kageyama shivered and hid his face against Mala'chai's neck and shoulder as he climaxed, grunting and rolling his hips slowly, Mala'chai squeaking as he spilled between them, the pteropine's voice ringing out through the apartment as he twitched violently and clenched down tightly around Kageyama's cock. Kageyama chuckled and hummed quietly, pulling back and kissing Mala'chai's lips slowly while withdrawing from the beta and rolling onto his side, the pteropine blushing and squirming as he tried to free his arms once more, Kageyama watching him struggle with a knowing grin.
"Oh she definitely heard you, Chai. No doubt about it."
"Untie me!" Mala'chai hissed, his face flushed with embarrassment. "Oh my god I can't believe you kept fucking me-"
"You loved it." Kageyama growled teasingly, shifting and carefully untying the knots bunched at his boyfriend's elbows and wrists, unwrapping the cloth methodically until his arms and wings were free, the pteropine squeaking and slapping at his chest several times before twittering and hiding his face against Kageyama's throat.
Shimizu was giggling as she listened to them, the water cutting off as she finished her shower and then shuffled with her laundry for a moment before stepping down the hall. She entered the bedroom in only a towel, glancing towards the boys on the bed before humming and turning to open the closet, Mala'chai still hiding against Kageyama as she found clean clothes and started to change, Kageyama exhaling an amused snort and kissing his boyfriend's crown, rubbing up and down his back soothingly.
Shimizu finished dressing, catching Kageyama's eyes and giving him a little wink before exiting the bedroom once more, her footsteps echoing down the hallway as she called to them both cheerily, "I'll be back in the morning! Feel free to spend the night here, I'll bring home breakfast after my shift!"
"See you in the morning!" Kageyama called, listening to the sounds of the front door closing and the lock clicking before returning his attention to Mala'chai, the pteropine pressed against his chest petting over his sternum and kissing at his neck slowly, Kageyama humming and pulling back to search his eyes before dipping down to give him a soft kiss.
Mala'chai sighed softly, the tension in his body unwinding the longer Kageyama kissed him, until eventually the pteropine hummed and reached up to cup his boyfriend's face, searching Kageyama's eyes while admitting softly, "Not exactly the way I imagined my first time meeting your sister."
"She likes you already." Kageyama reassured, a bright blush highlighting Mala'chai's nose and cheeks as he laughed awkwardly and hid his face once again, shaking his head and swatting Kageyama playfully before letting out an embarrassed groan.
"Your sister heard us having sex. Oh my fucking god…"
Kageyama chuckled and nuzzled into Mala'chai's hair, kissing at the curve of his ear sweetly before whispering, "She took a quick shower too, definitely left us some hot water." He perked his ears up as Mala'chai peeked up at him, his cheeks rosy and his expression soft as he coaxed gently, "Come shower with me?"
"Yeah." Mala'chai breathed, tugging Kageyama down for another kiss before the lupine wrapped his arms around his waist and rolled them across the messy sheets, Mala'chai giggling and wrapping his arms tightly around Kageyama's neck, holding him close and sharing kisses before they both crawled out of bed.
They walked hand-in-hand down the hall, traveling the short distance to the bathroom and stepping inside, Kageyama swatting Mala'chai's ass teasingly as he closed the door behind them. The pteropine wrapped his arms around Kageyama's neck once more, growling teasingly for a moment before giggling happily, his grey-blue eyes glistening as he searched Kageyama's dark eyes.
They stood naked together in the dense steam lingering behind from Shimizu's shower before, pressed close together and kissing slowly while Kageyama reached over and turned on the hot water, coaxing Mala'chai to step into the tub under the warm, gentle spray.
Kageyama couldn't remember ever being so happy, his heart being so full.
It would be little over four months before Kageyama heard Mala'chai's laughter for the very last time.
