"Have you seen Krad?" Dark asked.
"Nope," Daisuke shook his head "Why? You're missing him already?"
"He wanted to meet me here, said something about a surprise. I have no idea..."
The distinctive sound of a motor bike cut through his sentence, and then the machine appeared in the drive way, the driver stopping the thing just centimeters from Dark's feet. Turning the heavy machine off, the driver finally took off his helmet, shook his long blond hair...
Dark stared.
Daisuke grinned.
Dark swallowed.
Sitting on the chopper, clad all in tight black leather-- pants, jacket, gloves-- and wearing a shit-eating grin was... Krad.
And the leather was very tight.
Krad reached behind him and offered Dark the second helmet he had brought along.
Dark blinked.
"My, my, don't tell me the great kaitou Dark has lost his touch? Where's your sense of adventure, Dark Mousy?"
Dark growled and took the helmet.
"I'll show you adventure, Kraddy. How do you know how to drive a bike?"
"Satoshi does."
Well, that explained it. Somehow they both took in the knowledge of their hosts, what had been an advantage in the past, especially for Dark. How else could he have been able to continue his profession after being out of the job for forty years-- and having no idea how to handle a computer? But because his host had known, Dark had known.
Swinging a leg over the big machine Dark sat down behind Krad, putting on the helmet.
"Now, hold on tight, Mousy," Krad teased, taking his hands and wrapping his arms around his waist, before he leaned forward and kicked the big machine into gear.
The powerful engine roared and Dark felt the strong vibrations pulse through his body.
"What the hell are you planning?"
"A hell of a ride .. "
And then they were off.
Almost an hour later Krad left the road and turned the bike into a little path that lead into the forest. Dark wondered where this was going to head when even the path seemed to vanish-- but then forest opened up before them and Dark held his breath at the sight of a wonderful little clearing, complete with a small lake, hidden at one side through the forest, at the other by the mountains.
The sun streamed through the leaves, making the water glitter when a small breeze moved its surface. Krad carefully steered the bike to a tree and brought it to a halt.
"Wow, this is ... how did you find this?"
"Flew over it some time ago and wanted to show it to you ever since. It's no private property so we're not breaking the law here, and it's private enough to have a little fun and relax. Flying here would be much faster, but less ... "
"Romantic?"
"Yeah, that too."
Krad's voice held a husky undertone and when Dark turned from the breathtaking sight of the lake another one caught his eyes, even more so. Krad had opened his leather jacket, revealing the smooth skin of his upper body-- and nothing else. The first button of his tight leather pants was unfastened and from the sight of it he didn't even...
Dark had to swallow at the sudden dryness of his throat.
"Krad?"
The demon just smiled and stalked closer, golden eyes glowing with a hunger Dark knew oh so well. And then he felt himself pushed against the tree, the firm body of his lover pressing into his, melting into his, hands roaming over his chest and lips claiming his in a both hungry and sensual kiss the literally took his breath away and turned his knees into jelly.
A knee pushed between his thighs, parting them, providing more access for the searching hands which had already slipped under his shirt and were currently ghosting over his bare skin, leaving him gasping and shuddering under the sensual assault. Dark moaned and writhed, but he went with the flow- there was little he could do when his lover was in this special mood, except for making him stop entirely. His lover would never hurt him, but something had triggered Krad, and this was his way to confirm life, his way to show he needed Dark, needed his closeness in a way he couldn't either understand or verbalize.
Besides, it was damn hot...
Dark let himself slide down the tree into the sun warmed grass beneath it, moaning into the mouth that never left his as Krad followed his motion, coming to kneel between his legs eventually. His shirt was slid up and over his head and Krad gently bit into one earlobe, fingertips running over his chest making him squirm and moan. The in comparison to Krad's hands rather rough leather scraping over his bare skin and nipples caused an unexpected jolt of pleasure and only his lover's weight kept him down-- that and the fact that his shirt had wrapped itself around his wrists, effectively trapping his arms behind his back now... a slight scratch of fingernails over his chest..
.
Painful...
Cutting into his flesh...
Laughter at his screams...
Alone.
"Krad... no, stop..."
He felt the weight on is body shift, gentle hands running over his arms, freeing him from the tangling shirt.
"I'm sorry, sorry, sorry..."
Each word was emphasized with a soft caress and a kiss, fingers stroking his hair, golden eyes, lust swept away by worry, searching his.
"You can't stand this any more than I do, I'm sorry, Dark, koibito, I'm sorry. I should've thought about it, forgive me..."
Dark wrapped his arms around his lover's neck and pulled him close, clinging to him. "'S okay. You didn't remember. Neither did I. Sorry, Krad. So sorry."
More kisses peppered his skin. "Never apologize for this, Dark. Never. I understand only too well what you're going through."
Golden eyes, filled with so many emotions, met Dark's. This time the kiss met his lips and Dark opened up under him, held on tight, kissed back with abandon.
"I love you," Dark murmured. "I want to be with you."
"So do I. And we can be-- without bonds."
Krad pushed the shirt away and stroked over the warm skin of his lover. Dark smiled and nipped at his chin in a playful manner.
They sank into the grass once more. Krad would never hurt him, Dark thought. Never. Not any more.
That time was gone.
History.
