Chapter 3
Gorou fell into his bed like a log at the end of the day. He had just finished his relaxing tea and wanted to read a bit before going to sleep but could barely keep his eyes open. He exhausted himself at physical training so bad, he knew he was going to be sore for the whole day tomorrow. As he drifted off to sleep, he wished to himself to have a peaceful and nice rest.
"Kazuki! Are you coming?" Gorou called out to his soldier from the other end of the camp. "I'm gonna leave you behind if you don't hurry up!" Gorou playfully acted like he was about to leave as Kazuki jogged over to him.
"Sorry, General! The others were holding me up! I'm ready for our physical training!" Kazuki exclaimed excitedly and joined Gorou. Kazuki shared Gorou's enthusiasm for rock climbing, so the two of them often took out extra time to practice this hobby of theirs. As they arrived to the foot of the mountain, Gorou went over his safety tools and checked each and every one of them thoroughly.
"Alright, everything's ready!" Gorou turned around to check on Kazuki. "I think-", he felt two strong hands grip his shoulders and shove him hard into the rock behind him. "Ow! What happened?!" Gorou held his aching head in his hands as it had made a painful impact with the rock. "What are you-" His words were cut off by wet lips as Kazuki smothered him with a passionate kiss. Gorou inhaled sharply through his nose, struggling immediately to push the other man off. Kazuki didn't budge, and instead he felt his big hands explore his body, making their way to Gorou's most sensitive spots - his ears and his tail.
Gorou tried to scream into the kiss but it was all muffled and his protests were dismissed. He squirmed against Kazuki's hold, but he had no strength against him. He felt breathless and dizzy, every second feeling like an hour as he tried to break free. The more he struggled, the less space he had, and before he knew it, the rest of the soldiers were there too.
He could feel their hands roaming all over his body, tugging at the hip line of his pants, slyly moving under his upper uniform, gently carressing his abdomen and sides. His skin was prickling, every strand of hair on his body standing on edge. In his head, he was screaming without pause, begging and pleading for all of this to stop, but no voice could be heard save for his whimpers and groans.
This wasn't him - this can't be him! This needs to end now, why is this still going on? He needs this to end...!
But it didn't. The hands became more and more adventurous, touching places that had never been touched by anyone else before. His heart stopped promptly as he felt fingers slipping under his underwear. No. His boundaries had already been broken but this is where he draws the line. He tolerates a lot, but enough is enough. Gorou kicked out with his feet, no longer caring who he hit where - to no avail. The fingers drew closer to the restricted area and he felt fear like never before. This was way worse than whatever anxiety he had ever felt on the battlefield - hell, this was worse than what Yae Guuji makes him feel every time they meet. This was traumatizing.
"Gorou wake up! You need to wake up!" he turned his attention to ending the dream, taking whatever solution he could to end this torture. His strength had left him, as he laid on the ground, letting the soldiers have their way with him. He could no longer tell how many hands were all over his body, or where exactly they were touching. All he knew was that it hurt. His whole body was screaming in protest, and he felt frozen in place. Nothing helped anyways, resistance was futile. He just needed to wait out the end...
Gorou's eyes shot open in the darkness. Once again he felt chilled to the bone and hot at the same time, as his damp clothes stuck to his sweaty body. His heart was racing, still, and he had a deathgrip on his blanket. As he became more aware of his own body and surroundings, and gradually realized that the nightmare is over, his frail body started shaking involuntarily. He snuggled deeper into his blanket, and ever so unnoticeably, he started sobbing.
