Chapter 11 - Liquid Flow
The rain was still falling by the time Ren and Yoh had managed to get to bed. Both were tired, and although Ren hadn't said where he had been, the other had his suspicions. But still, Yoh didn't question the volatile shaman, and together, sleep sounded like a good idea.
Everyone else was asleep, seemingly, anyway. Morty was cuddled up into a pillow, Lyserg to his right. Horo Horo, residing back in Yoh's futon now, was to Morty's left, putting the short one in the middle, all three contentedly sound asleep. With a raised eyebrow, Ren did the same as Yoh, and carefully changed into his night robe, quite naturally taking to Horo's other side. Yoh was surprised that the Aniu was still awake, but he apparently was, for he didn't notice Yoh, and lightly kissed the Chinese shaman on the cheek, before allowing him to snuggle in.
Yoh couldn't help himself. To witness something slightly intimate between the two made him cast his own mind back to the rather close encounter he'd had with Hao not that long ago...
Mentally, he was kicking himself for being so careless. If he wasn't careful, he'd fall right back in the situation he'd just gotten out of.
But part of Yoh loved Hao. Maybe it was a twin thing.
Maybe he was just stupid.
Sighing lightly, Yoh finished changing, and for some reason, finding himself sliding in beside Ren. The other didn't notice for a minute, who was lying facing Yoh's side, Horo cuddled up behind him, one arm around Ren's waist. After a little while, silence prevailed, and Yoh found himself lying awake, unable to sleep.
It was rather annoying. No matter how much he tossed and turned, the shaman couldn't sleep, until his neighbour eventually had had enough.
"Are you going to actually sleep tonight, or am I going to be kept awake all night by you?" Ren mutter sleepily from beside him.
"I dunno. "
"That's helpful. Well, we'll just lie here awake then."
"Don't be sarcastic Ren, it doesn't help." Yoh's tone was narrowed, and the Chinese shaman softened his voice, saffron eyes quietly observing the other.
"Well considering what I saw earlier, you could definitely use some help. "
Yoh's eyes narrowed, minor wariness in his tone of voice. "What are you talking about Ren?"
"You didn't see me then?"
"When?"
"This evening."
"Before we continue, are you sure everyone is asleep?"
"Why would I be on the subject if everyone wasn't?"
"Good point. Anyway, what do you know Ren?"
Ren lowered his voice to a whisper, leaning forward slightly, so that Yoh could hear him. " I only saw you and Hao in a rather, tender moment... " Ren smiled suggestively, and the other found himself wanting to hit him for it.
"You saw us..."
"Yes."
"Oh shit." Yoh cursed, biting his lower lip.
"It's not as if I'm going to tell anyone."
"You would."
"I'm trusting you not to tell anyone about me and Horo. I'm not a backstabbing bastard, just a arrogant one. "
"Oh shut up a minute. I'm trying to think..."
"Fine." Ren turned slightly, snuggling back down into Horo Horo and leaving Yoh to his thoughts.
Yoh sighed slightly, feeling a little guilty. He hadn't meant to hurt Ren, but he was rather preoccupied, with none other than Hao. It wasn't that he was fixated with Hao, or even near obsessive, but something was luring him to his older brother, and he just couldn't work out what.
"Ren.." It was more of a statement than a question, but the Chinese shaman understood.
"What is it?" He mumbled lightly, shifting a little to glare a bit at the other. Horo Horo also moved, not pleased with the sudden movement, and glomping himself onto Ren, who rolled his eyes in discontent.
"If you saw me and Hao, why didn't you intervene?"
"Because...well.." Ren paused, lost for words, unable to form what he wanted to say into coherent speech.
"You don't know?" Yoh gave him an innocent glance.
"No...It's just...You and Hao, you were almost at each other's throats, at which point I would have intervened...But then, you kinda fell into each other's arms, and..." Ren paused again, looking away from Yoh.
"And what?"
"And it reminded so much of what's happened between me and Horo. I can't take that away. He's all you've got. "
"Not quite." Yoh smiled, propping himself up on his elbows. Leaning across, he gently kissed Ren on the cheek. "But close enough."
Before the unpredictable Chinese could slap him, Yoh had retreated back to his side of the bed, turning over, and closing his eyes. The last thing he heard from Ren was the silent musings that floated up to the stars through the open window, contented sighs flooding the unspoken atmosphere above them.

"Master, what troubles you?"
"Nothing." Hao replied, eyes more softer than normal, silently observing the itako before him. She was quiet, but seemingly more content than normal.
"Oh." She looked confusingly up at him, eyes reminding Hao more of a woeful she-deer than the normally strong, straightforward Shaman Queen.
"It is, complicated. But I will tell you. Something has changed. Although Yoh is no longer under the influence of my mind control, he still thinks he loves me. I cannot do that. He is mistakenly believing that he is not under my control and he is..."
"Master, he is himself. Nothing is stopping him from being Yoh Asakura."
"That is a LIE!" Hao turned angrily on the girl, roughly backhanding her across the cheek. His anger faded as quickly as it had come, and Anna stared, stunned up at him.
"Keep quiet, and don't bother me. Go, do some scrying or something. I want to know what Yoh's next move is."
"You do not trust him Master?"
"Yes and no. I can't trust him around his friends, but I still need him to get stronger. I can't have a weak brother in the next life."
"Oh." Was all Anna could muster.
0o0o0o0o0o0o
"So what do you think?"
"You're the most stupidest, pathetic idiot I've ever had the good grace to come across." Ren rolled his eyes in disbelief, as Horo Horo gave him puppy dog eyes in an attempt to pull him around.
"But Reeennn..."
"No."
Sticking his lower lip out, and holding his eyes wide as he could get, Horo gave everything appealing that he could give.
It didn't work. The other shaman turned away head held high in insulted pride. The Aniu sighed again, before eventually snuggling closer, slipping an arm around Ren's shoulders.
"Come on, is it that bad?" He asked in a softened tone.
"You're asking me to...to...do something I'd rather not do..." The Chinese lowered his gaze enough to take in Horo's curious look.
"Why?"
"Affections in public aren't high on my favourites list. And before you ask, blame on my father. In his presence, you only just breathed and got away with it."
"Ah...Is that why you don't even like to hug in public?"
"Yes."
"Well, to be truthful, to most it's the whole thrill of the-being-caught part. That's why I asked if you'd mind if I snogged you, reasonably in public.."
"Reasonably?" Ren narrowed his glare, eyes on Horo.
"As in maybe in the bathroom, or behind a door. I don't mean smack bang in the middle of the yard!" Horo laughed, gaining a smile from his explanation.
Well...when you put it that way... I'll consider it..."
"Yay!" With a huge grin, Horo threw himself at the other, glomping him and pinning him to the ground. A yelp of surprise echoed up from Ren, which was quickly silenced by Horo licking and sucking on his lower lip. A duel continued from this, the heated slickness of tongues against each other giving way to arousal. Everything simply seemed to stop, the world outside nothing, the only things mattering being each other. Emotions ran high and senses heightened, the air seeming to thicken like fog around the two.
It was not long before arousal gave in to just pure lust. And Horo was definitely game for lust, given his current state of arousal. Ren was pinned beneath him, panting deeply, lips full and swollen from the suckling and kissing. Everything was hot, heady, and just border lining sexual.
Horo was going with that line of thought. A heavily aroused Ren was sexy in his opinion. But sex wasn't on his mind, neither of them were ready for that.
However, that doesn't mean other little things can't happen in between...
Licking his lips seductively, Horo dove in for another kiss, a muffled moan from Ren echoing up. He had a somewhat painful hard on by now, and rubbing himself into the other shaman wasn't making things any better.
"Omfh... Horo.."
"What?" The Ainu asked in slight annoyance, resting their foreheads together momentarily.
"Stop goddamn rubbing yourself up against me. "
"Yeah but..." Horo's hand slid southwards, suddenly grabbing gently at Ren's own arousal. "You can't say you're not benefiting from this..." He continued to squeeze and rub mercilessly at the now rather large bulge in the shaman's pants. It took a while, but Ren's composure eventually cracked, and he simply moved with the Aniu, moaning and whimpering on the odd occasion. Everything moved with a liquid flow, skin on skin, lips on lips. Scars against scars. Deep whispers and odd little moans continued to fill the humid air of the room as clothes gradually were removed, until Horo was left in just his pants and boxers, and Ren just in his boxers.
Surprisingly, things hadn't gone all that fast between the two. Both were aroused, the Chinese especially after Horo's little petting session. And both were confidence in their trust and love for one another. Ren was insecure when it came to most things, but he was quite happy to allow this new level of intimacy between them. However, he did yelp just a little bit when the Aniu decided to bite down, lightly on his neck, sucking gently but firmly before releasing and licking at the mark. Although satisfied, he met a slightly wall of hesitation, and realised that Ren was unsure, and probably uninformed when it came to biting and necks. He made a little soothing noise, going back to kissing and reassuring Ren that he wasn't going to hurt him. After a while, the Chinese shaman seemed content with that, and he proceeded to untie and remove Horo's pants as well.
"Can I...can I...see you?" Horo whispered breathlessly into Ren's ear suddenly. The other faltered, mulling this over for a minute, but nipping lightly at the ice shaman's lower lip in appreciation. Horo kept busy by returning to his affections of Ren's neck - this time only kissing and licking.
"Hey..." Ren nudged him unexpectedly, silencing his protests with a quick kiss that just had to get deeper. By the time they drew apart, noting the glint of approval in Ren's eyes, Horo had his answer. He was suddenly aware of just how much trust Ren was putting into him; after all he was trusting Horo with himself, the real Ren, not the one hidden behind a mask. And he was trusting Horo not to hurt him, or abuse him like his father had done.
Hell of a lot of responsibility, but it didn't faze the shaman. He simply smiled, kissed Ren again, and gently let his hands do the talking. Biting back a breath, he locked lips once more, and tugged Ren's boxers down and smoothly off. He had to gasp when he saw Ren for the first time; long, hard and weeping slightly in need. Ren allowed just a hint of a blush to creep across his face as he watched Horo take in everything that was Tao Ren.
And Horo personally himself thought Ren was absolutely beautiful.
Momentarily taking a minute to remove his own remaining item of clothing, Horo lightly pushed the Chinese back down onto the futon. Mouths met in need, but breaking apart in protest when their bare members came into contact for the first time. The lingering feel of humidity in the air got to both of them, but Ren leaned up, surprising Horo by initiating the kiss for once. After a while, they both adjusted to the feel of their whole complete bodies against each other, pleasure stimulating when hardness rubbed against hardness, friction sparking up a whole new game. Horo didn't want to make love to Ren yet, but he did want to explore further. He did so, hands roaming, tongue following close after, as he mapped out every inch of the Chinese shaman.
Meanwhile, Ren did his own exploration, discovering new and odd little things about Horo that was different than himself. Although he had found a long time ago that boys interested him more than the girls, he had wondered back then whether there was something wrong with him. A little voice he didn't know existed however, spoke up to him, reminding him that wrong things didn't feel this good.
And it did feel good, very good. His nerves seemed over sensitive, and a tension had gradually built within him just begging to be released. He didn't know how or why, but it seemed like continuing this little game was going to solve that. So even with Horo's own roaming of his body, he made work of using his hands on his.
This didn't last long when Horo got to the source of Ren's current pleasure. His fingers curled around Ren, curiously finding things that spoke out to him as being completely different. There wasn't much difference between them, he reckoned Ren had anything between half an inch to and inch on him. Not that it mattered. He traced light patterns across the hard length before him, before ducking his head to sample Ren for the first time.
The answering moan of pleasure from Ren was enough to encourage him on, and he found the other shaman's fingers tangling in his sweat-soaked hair, clearly completely on the edge. He continued, growing more and more bolder, finding he could grind his own near-painful erection into the sheets below him.
Everything got suddenly a lot more hotter, and neither could remember when climax started or finished - but when they both managed to come down from the immense high of orgasm, they were completely covered in sweat, and sticky white fluid.
"Horo..." Ren eventually managed, finding his throat a little dry, pulling the other shaman closer.
"What?" Horo answered sleepily, head sinking down onto Ren's shoulder and staying there. Ren took a subconscious breath.
"I'm pretty certain...I love you..." A light blush spread its way across his cheeks, and Horo took a moment to prop himself up on his arms.
"Love you too." He swiftly replied, giving the shaman one last kiss before settling down again.
A contented silence settled between them, both determined that, if anything, they had each other.
And to them, at that time, that was all that mattered.
