Youshuu/Kouyuu - on the subject of Reishin
By

September 2008
"Do you think-- Reishin sama will ever forgive me?"
Youshuu looked down at the aquarium hair of the younger man currently tucked under his chin and heaved a long sigh. "Your father isn't exactly a topic I'd expect you to bring up while we're basking in the afterglow of sex."
"Sorr--"
Youshuu stroked a finger across his lover's cheek to silence him. "Reishin dono was expecting this move from you, Kouyuu. Surely you must understand that is why he stayed silent after your arrest.
"And-- you must have also heard that there haven't been any attempts on my life."
Youshuu was relived to feel the ghost of a smile against his chest. Reishin dono's protectiveness for his adopted son was near infamous. The fact he made no move against Youshuu then later quietly accepted the dismissal perpetrated by his son was politically applauded as an ultimate show of sacrifice and love for his son.
"You know my father's mind so well-- much better than I..."
"Kouyuu." Youshuu dragged him up so they could be face to face once more. "Please, speak no more of your father when you're in bed with me.
"He may not have sent assassins after me for having you arrested. But I'm not so sure he wouldn't once he's heard I've wooed you to my bed."
Kouyuu smiled at him and allowed Youshuu to kiss his troubled thoughts away.
