Chapter One -

Hatori's POV

Hatori awakes to the sound of Ayame moaning in his sleep. His beautiful face was scrunched up in pain and fear.

"Aya, Aya wake up. Your safe. I'm here with you." The dragon whispers. The snakes amber eyes flutter open and attempt to focus. "Tori-San?" Ayame whispers. Hatori smiles. He had continued to question how he ever had deserved this gorgeous creature.

"Yes beautiful. It's me. I told you I would never leave you side, and here I continue to stay." Ayame rubs his eyes in a childish manner. "I'm glad your here Tori. I don't know what I would do without you. Who would wake me up when I'm having a bad dream?"

The snake cracks a small smile, which promptly turns into a pout. Tears fill his eyes, and Hatori feels an imaginary knife stab at his heart. "Aya, I'm so sorry. But your safe now baby. Your here with me."

Hatori wraps his arms around the snake and pulls him flush against his body. Oh how wonderful it felt to hold his lover. Even though Ayame was sobbing, it was still a happy moment for Hatori.

Just now, he could relish being here.

"Aya, what dream was it?" The snake whimpers and buries his face in Hatori's shoulder. "It was Akito, and she began to punish you for being with me. She didn't even touch me. It was all you." Hatori frowns.

This was how Ayame was, and a part of Hatori really loved the snake for it. He was so caring and only worried about the ones he loves.

"Aya, please stop worrying. I've told you before. I won't let Akito do anything to either of us." The snake looks up with tear filled eyes. "But Tori-San, no. That's not what I want. You'll end up getting hurt. I just know it. I don't want Akito to hurt you like she did me." Hatori cringes at the images that flood his mind. Ayame lying naked and motionless, blood everywhere, it was a horrible sight. He shakes his head trying to rid himself of these memories.

"Your thinking about it, aren't you." The snake whispers. Hatori nods. "I can't get that image out of my head. If I had only realized sooner, I could've helped you. Maybe prevented what happened." Ayame scoots so his face is close to Hatori's. "You would've gotten hurt too. In fact, I'm surprised Akito hasn't come here demanding you back."

The snake places a small kiss on Hatori's neck. The dragon couldn't stop the moan that escapes past his lips. Ayame was too sensual. It was becoming difficult not to touch him in a sexual way. Especially since they both were without their clothes.

"Oh Tori-San. Do not do that. I can't stand to hear you moan without hearing it over and over again." Ayame says huskily. He rolls his hips against the dragon's leg. "Ayame, I promise to control my moans, if you promise to stop doing things like that."

The snake continued to grind against the dragon and moans throatily. "Oh Tori-San! I want you. I want to scream only for you." Hatori groans. He knew they wouldn't do anything too extreme, not yet. But for now, he could do this.

Quickly crawling on top on the snake, Hatori lowers his body flush against Ayame. Tossing his head back he begins to rubs their growing erections together. Ayame screams in mirth, arching his back. Oh the feeling, the friction, was too much. The dragon leans down and kisses his love passionately, never stopping the gyrating of his hips. Ayame gasps and shivers. Hatori feels the tremors run through the snake's body as he climaxes. The whimpers from the snake, causes Hatori to come with a scream. The world seems to freeze in that moment.

In a swift motion, the dragon rolls off his love. Both Ayame and Hatori lay gasping for breath, and clutch for each other's hand. "I love you Hatori." The snake gasps. "I love you too, Ayame. Your beautiful and I thank the heavens everyday that I have you. Even if it's just for now." Lips meet lips, and a silent calm overcomes them.

Hatori lays watching Ayame as the snake drops off to sleep. The dragon doesn't sleep until the sun begins to peak over the horizon.
