Pairings: Schuldig/Youji, Schuldig/Aya, Aya/Youji

// … // = Telepathy

Chapter four

He awoke to comfortable yet almost unbearable warmth surrounding him, reaching out with his mind; Schuldig wrapped both of the sleeping bodies around him in a mental bubble. On one side was nothing, absolutely no resonance, and he smirked lightly as the other mind came to him, Kudou. Ah right, last night he'd fallen asleep in the blonde kitten's bed with redhead as well. His talent worked well enough with Aya to know the luscious body that lay curled up in his arms was awake, but he still couldn't get any real readings. Aya was; outside of Esset, the only one who could keep Schuldig from digging through his mind at will. Opening his eyes he glanced down to his left to see to those beautiful violet eyes watching him silently. "Morning." He purred softly with a grin.

Aya stretched slightly, fighting the urge to smile back and turned his gaze to the still sleeping blonde. "Has he woken yet?"

Schuldig twisted his fingers lightly in the crimson hair of his lover and nodded. "Yeah, he awoke during the night. I told him to go back to sleep."

"What do we tell him?" Aya whispered softly, almost sounding worried, almost.

"Leave that to me, kitten." He purred and his grin grew wider as Aya looked back up at him. Pulling the crimson haired man up into a kiss, Schuldig wrapped his arms around the pale shoulders lightly.

"I.. I'm glad you're still alive." Aya muttered lightly.

"Developing a sentimental streak, Ran?" Schuldig chuckled, and his smirk grew even wider at the mock glare he received from the kitten before pulling him into another kiss, tongues warring with each other passionately.

"A-Aya?" Youji blinked hesitantly, like a deer before the headlights, as two sets of eyes turned to face him, one set jade green and one set deep violet. Having woken up to the sight of Aya and Schuldig kissing, in his bed, was even more confusing for the blonde than when he'd awoken during the night.

"Morning, kitten." Schuldig purred, sliding his hand over to run through honey-blonde locks of hair.

Youji blinked again as Aya moved his hand slowly up Schuldig's chest to pillow his head on it. Trying not to lean into the hand the caressed his cheek, he blinked between the pair. "Why are you in my bed..? What is going on here?" He blinked.

"A reasonable enough question." Schuldig stretched lazily, his eyes never leaving the blonde's.

"Are you going to answer it?" Youji asked softly, his voice swinging with an undercurrent of worry as he sat up, looking down at the pair.

Aya watched his teammate silently before closing his eyes and letting Schuldig do all the talking. Be careful with what you say, Schu.

// Trust me, Ran. // Schuldig smirked down at the redhead before looking up at Youji, not bothering to sit up himself. "A pet is not supposed to question his masters, Kudou." He drawled.

"Pet..?" Youji blinked then remembered. That's right, the deal. I belong to you.

"You belong to both of us." Aya intoned softly as if hearing Youji's thoughts.

"I what?!" Youji gasped, glaring between the pair now, flinching as violet eyes opened and sharply met his glare in challenge.

That maddening smirk was back and Schuldig trailed his fingers lightly down Youji's bicep. "You don't really believe that I wouldn't share my pet with my lover."

"Lover?" Youji squeaked glancing back at Aya, realization dawning. "H-How long?"

"Long enough." Schuldig purred.

"Before or after?"

"Long enough before." Aya answered, sitting up and stretching. "You really ask too many questions, Kudou." He growled lowly. His voice husked with lust and desire though, as he looked over the blonde's semi-naked form. Even though both Schuldig and Aya were completely naked, Youji himself was still wearing a pair of soft cotton boxers.

Aya's tongue flicked quickly out to lick over his bottom lip, still blushed and swollen from the kissing, and Youji watched it as if it were a viper. He wanted to just stand up, to get out of bed.. this is too surreal. But no matter how much he wanted to move away from these two handsome, no, gorgeous creatures, he found his body wasn't obeying him. Forest green eyes looked back down at the smirking telepath, remembering the way Schuldig had controlled Sakura's body easily.

// Very clever, Kudou. I knew you weren't as dumb as you looked. //

The next thing he knew, Youji was lying on his back with his crimson haired teammate straddling his hips and licking a trail up his neck.

"You never figured it out did you?" Aya husked in his ear, nibbling at it lightly.

Blinking himself out of the shock that was Aya as this sexual, sensual creature. Youji was just barely able to find his voice. "Figured what out?"

"He's been all but throwing himself at you over this past year, Yotan." Schuldig stated softly, trailing his hand down the Abyssinian's back, causing the swordsman to arch with a soft growl into the touch and start sucking on Youji's neck with hunger.

"Why do you bother lying to me?" Youji gasped. Eyes flickering over to Schuldig as he panted lightly, his neck was one of his weakest spots after all. "Aya hates me."

Aya lifted his head slowly from the blonde's neck. The absence was nearly painful. "I don't hate you," came the reluctant reply. "Someone has to take care of you, Yotan. You don't seem to be able to do it on your own." The redhead spoke softly, almost purring.

So that's it. Aya pitied him. How typically grand. Youji thought, not really hearing the sensual undertone of his teammate's words.

"Ugh, maybe you are as stupid as you look." Schuldig groaned and sat up, running hand through his long fiery orange hair with a sigh and a yawn, tilting his head to the side and closing his eyes, as if listening to something.

"What is it?" Aya asked, having seen that look on the telepath's face before.

"Young Takatori is nearby." Jade met violet. "He's looking for you and is worried because you're not in your room."

"Omi is not at Takatori anymore." Youji huffed lightly.

Aya looked down at Youji and rubbed his hips against the blonde's sensually, eliciting a groan from the blonde, before sliding out of bed and gathering up his clothes, getting dressed. Glancing back at Youji and Schuldig one last time, he nodded slightly and left the room swiftly and silently, being an assassin did have some advantages to it.
