Chapter four: Caught under the mistletoe
Kazuma let his eyes fluttered open, the light from the sun through the indrawn windows disturbed his sleep. He laid on his side the blanket covering him somewhat haphazardly. Blinking away the sleep, his tired chocolate eyes meeting dual colored iris. The owner of those eyes leaned in placing a light chaste kiss on his master mouth.
"Good morning" Nora mumbled before sitting up in the bed scratching his head. "I forbid" Nora gagged and toppled off the bed choking on the floor. "Morning mutt" Kazuma grumbled as he made his way to the bathroom.
"DAMN IT KAZUMA!" Nora bellowed. Kazuma smirked as he closed the door behind himself.
After Kazuma had showered cleaning himself up, brushing his teeth and getting dressed again. Busying himself with drying his hair. Nora disappearing behind the bathroom door to take his shower. Kazuma took relatively longer showers then Nora.
"What's on the schedule today you stupid human?" Nora mocked drying his hair. "I forbid" was Kazuma's reply. Needless to say what happened to Nora. "What do you mean exactly by a schedule?" Kazuma questioned sitting on the edge of the messy bed. The other was clean since they hadn't really used it at all. They had fell asleep in the same bed apparently.
"I assumed you where on some kind of schedule" Nora grunted form his place on the floor, laying on his back. "No. to be truthful I never really make schedules. Life is to unpredictable to make one" the human sighed pretending to be more occupied with his book.
"Ever since a certain dog in a box showed up" he added. Nora smirked.
"Yeah…no. I only mentioned the schedule thing cause you know Koyuki is going to drag you off someplace again" Nora pointed out. "You know your little girl friend" he teased. Kazuma scowled.
"She's not my girl friend" he grumbled nonchalantly.
"Really? I think she likes you" Nora pointed out.
"And so…" Kazuma trailed off deciding against it. The silver haired demon raised a thin brow at him. "And what about the Dark Liege?" Kazuma quickly changed the subject. "She seems to like you a lot too"
"The Dark Liege? She's creepy. Our relationship. If there even is one is strictly business" Nora mumbled.
"Don't you mean dog and master?" Kazuma sneered.
"Thought master was your title?" Nora teased with a smirk. Kazuma furrowed his brow. "I've come to think I'm merely a babysitter" the fourteen year old teen pointed out turning a page in his book.
"Babysitter eh? The only baby here is you" Nora smirked.
"And how exactly am I the baby Nora?" Kazuma sneered. Nora was taken back for a moment, his name on Kazuma's tongue sounded strange. "They say your only as old as you feel"
"In your case you're a grubby old man!" Nora yelled comically laughing folding his hands behind his head. The dual haired teen made a face at his disobedient dog.
"I'm hardly an old man.."
"Yeah you are! Your boring, you don't do regular teen things. Like get in trouble. You Do all your school work. Behave in class. Eat your vegetables. Frown on rowdy classmates. You're an old man in every way you look at it" Nora pointed out. He suddenly felt a heavy weight on his stomach, opening his eyes to see Kazuma straddling his mid section.
"I'm not an old man Nora, I've got plenty life left in me, I'm simply mature." Kazuma grumbled with a blank expression though he was inwardly seething. The silver haired demon only smirked. "Show me" he challenged huskily.
"No" Kazuma mumbled slightly embarrassed but he didn't show it. "I don't-"
"Yeah, yeah I know. You don't want your position compromised. But it's like I said. You're the master"
"I don't want to be your master" Kazuma said quickly. "Then…what?" Nora questioned a little confused. "I want to be your equal" the teen mumbled.
"My equal…?" the demon asked slowly as if not understanding. "That's what I said" Kazuma mumbled. The two were quiet for a moment staring deeply at each other. Uncomfortable with the moment Kazuma shifted his weight to stand up, only to be snagged by Nora. He was pulled back down to sit on his hips.
"What are you?" Kazuma grumbled, Nora sat up wrapping his arms around the small of Kazuma's back refusing to let him leave.
"Where do you think your going?" Nora pointed out. Leaning in close, the tips of their noses grazing each other. Being always the impatient one, Nora clamped his mouth over Kazuma's. The latter recoiled in his grasp as a reaction, his small weak protests went muffled by and chaste kiss.
Releasing his quarry Nora smiled slightly looking at the ruffled expression on Kazuma's face. With random laughter Nora yanked Kazuma to the side the two falling over on their sides. "Ugh…Nora" Kazuma grumbled trying to push away from him.
"What's the rush? Stay awhile. Gramps" Nora teased holding their midsection together with his arms. Kazuma glared at Nora in response. But eventually he gave up on glaring. "I'll show you just how old I am" Kazuma grumbled before leaning in to kiss Nora on the lips instead. Kazuma worked his hands under Nora's arms coiling them around to hold onto his shoulder blades.
Starting a slow make out session on the floor wrapped in each other's arms. Biting a nipping at each others lips in response whilst holding each other tight to get impossibly closer.
It felt nice just to be that close. The suddenly flew open causing Kazuma to jump still ducked safely out of sight behind the bed on the floor with Nora.
"Kazu-kun" Koyuki called. "Lets go get some breakfast" she mused. Kazuma sat up revealing himself from behind the bed. "Oh.. What are you doing on the floor Kazuma?" she asked.
Yano and Fujimoto standing next to her. Nora sat up shortly after Kazuma stood up. "Oh Nora, were you guys wrestling on the floor?" she asked laughing.
"No…I slipped and Nora tried to help me up" Kazuma lied smoothly. Nora smirked devilish in response sitting on the floor reclined against the side of the opposite bed.
"Come on we're hungry" Yano groaned.
"Starving…" Fujimoto mumbled. "Same" Nora pointed out. Kazuma obviously outvoted moved to get his shoes. The group cheered save for Fujimoto, Nora retrieving his shoes as well. Bounding out the door. Koyuki grabbing his arm in one hand and Kazuma's in the other to lead them down the hall.
Yano linking his arm with Nora and Fujimoto linking arms with Kazuma to walk in a line down the hall. What the hell. It was to damn early for this kind of thing.
Going into the more westernized dinning room they snagged a table for them all to sit around ordering breakfast. Koyuki and some girl with braided pigtails sat across from Kazuma and Nora who sat next to each other, Yano and Fujimoto sitting at opposite ends of the table.
Talking amongst themselves, mostly Nora though, Kazuma stayed quiet keeping to himself. When their meal came he ate it quietly and slowly. He suddenly chocked on his eggs when he felt a hand touch his inner thigh. "Kazuma are you alright?" Koyuki asked worriedly. Nora smirked and withdrew his hand looking at Kazuma innocently. Receiving a glare for good measure.
"I'm fine" he seethed. Yano and Fujimoto shuddered hoping they hadn't done anything to make him mad. Nora ate his pancakes accidentally spilling some of the syrup on his mouth. Rolling his eyes, Kazuma retrieved his napkin and reach up wiping the mess of his face.
The table froze for a moment at the strange mannerism. Nora made a face, wrinkling his nose. Realizing his mistake he whacked Nora with the napkin. "The hell Kazuma!" Nora yelped rubbing his nose. Koyuki giggled while the girl with pigtails rolled her eyes.
Slumping in his seat, he ate his food hating for acting in such a girly romantic way. People only did that stuff in movies. Nora smirked devilishly in response returning to eating his food. The group talked about skiing and possibly sledding again. Oh joy. Another field day in the frozen wasteland. He'd much rather spend his entire evening in a hot steaming bath. Nora on the other hand made no real plans for the afternoon. Though he seemed interested in playing in the snow like a stupid brat.
Koyuki of coarse tried to get Kazuma to agree to play in the snow, though he declined giving no reasons why. Koyuki played with Nora's collar finding it entertaining and adorable. You know the red leather one with the bell on it. Nora said it was a gift and said nothing else about it.
After breakfast, a long, terrible breakfast filled with lustful glances from Nora and groping. And after hours over hours of playing in the snow until every layer of Kazuma's clothes were soaked through. Along with Nora's. The two freezing their asses off they retreated inside. Yeah that nice hot bath sounded so good right now.
Walking into the room, Nora shutting the door behind himself. As soon as he was in the room Kazuma had began stripping his clothes in front of Nora. The silver haired demon stood leaning up against the door watching Kazuma as he pulled up on the edges of his last shirt revealing his stomach. Catching his stare Kazuma pulled the shirt back down. "I forbid" with a jerking motion Nora gasped and fell over.
"Don't be a pervert" Kazuma grumbled. "I was not!" Nora argued back from his place on the floor. Standing up he began taking his clothes off as well. Tossing their wet clothes in a pile on the floor. Now standing in their last layer of pants and nothing else.
"It's okay to look" Nora added in after a while. Kazuma glanced over his shoulder at Nora. "It means I'm interested" he explained confidently. Kazuma rolled his eyes.
"I don't know weather I should feel insulted or praised because it doesn't take much to catch your interest" he insulted. "Oh shut it!" Nora snapped back. Grumbling to himself he got a bit of an idea. "…Wanna bathe together?" he asked already loving the idea. Kazuma glanced over his shoulder at him again as he routed through the drawers for warm and dry clothes for them. Normally his quick response would be a definite no. But he nearly flipped out mentally when he found himself seriously thinking about it.
"Kazuma?" Nora said again trying to get his attention. "If the waters to hot then I'm kicking you in the head" Kazuma grumbled refusing to make eye contact with him. Blinking slowly it finally hit Nora that, that had been Kazuma's way of saying. Yes. Smiling to himself he walked into the bathroom. The bathtub was defiantly big enough for two people. Closing the door behind him, Nora began running the bathwater. Making sure it was warm but not to hot. But warm enough to not get cold quickly. Toasty would be a good way to put it.
Moving his hands around the edge of the tub as he tried adjusting the water just right. His elbow knocked over a strangely open thing of bubble bath. Blinking stupidly down at the pouring flow of purple goopy fluid. The silver haired demon eventually set the upset bottle back up right. Quickly a mass of white sweet smelling flowers bubbles began to quickly form and hide the water below.
Staring down at the tub, he wondered if he broke it. Was bathwater supposed to have bubbles in it? "…Is his some kind of joke?" Kazuma grumbled from behind Nora as he walked into the bathroom. Slowly closing the door behind him.
"…I dunno" Nora said truthfully. He had originally thought Nora was trying to seduce him with kinky bath bubbles. But then he remembered that this was Nora he was talking about. He didn't have the brain capacity to try something like that. Either way it wouldn't have worked. Kazuma wasn't a slut.
Well not really anyway. Well. It was hard to explain. So lets just say he was a little needy. But it's not like he'd ever fall for such an attempt at wooing him. Even if it was from Nora. He'd do it when he wanted to. No sooner. "I forbid" Nora fell over gagging again on the floor. Saying it again Nora continued to choke on the floor. Eventually the pain went away letting Nora crawl to his hands and knees. He looked around the room until he looked back at the tub seeing Kazuma already nestled and privacy hidden under the bubbles.
Fucking little bastard. "Well done mutt, the temperatures to my liking" Kazuma sighed lifting his dripping hand out of the water and shaking the bubbles off. "…good for fucking you" Nora spat. Kazuma leaned back against the back of the tub, leaning his head against the cool tile behind him looking at Nora with a blank stare.
Finally standing up Nora reaching his hands down to pulled down his pants. Kazuma's face visibly changed to slight shock. Once the pants were discarded carelessly on the floor, his face heated up as Nora reaching to remove his underwear.
Quickly glancing away from Nora completely. He closed his eyes trying to keep a straight face as he heard Nora slip into the tub across from him. Sighing happily Nora leaned back against the opposite side of the tub. His dual colored eyes glancing at Kazuma who slowly lifted his head to finally look at Nora. Smirking Nora flicked bubbles and water at Kazuma.
He winced with an annoyed expression as the water and soup hit his nose. Smirking, Nora blew more bubbles at the latter. "You can be very annoying you know, stray dog" Kazuma grumbled as he raised his wet and soap covered hand to try and rub the water and soap away.
Though the soap on his hand only got more on his face. Swearing under his breath he shook off the soap and rubbed the bubbles away with his more dry and clean hand. Nora chuckled a little only to rechive a frown from Kazuma.
"I still have yet to punish you properly for you behavior at breakfast" He grumbled. Nora only smirked. "What are you going to do spank me?" the demon asked, flicking more bubbles at the teen. "…I'll make sure to punish you severely for you disobedience"
Nora smirked and shifted and moved forwards Kazuma. "Hey, stay on your own side of the tub" The human growled pushing Nora back by his naked collar bone. Nora only moved closer to Kazuma. They had only been this close naked when they were making love. It was alright for Kazuma then, but right now it was really weird. Honestly why did he agree to this again?
Oh that's right his perverted teenage brain and hormones wanted to see Nora naked. "Will you back off" Kazuma growled shoving at Nora who barely budged. Even though he was the exact same height as Nora now, the demon was obviously stronger.
"Why so shy all the sudden?" Nora asked quirking a brow at him. Kazuma frowned. "I'm not shy, I just like my space" he growled back. "Space? You didn't seem to mind close contact a few nights ago" Nora purred leaning his face closer to Kazuma's. "Fuck you" Kazuma growled back. Kazuma then remembered the fastest way to beat Nora despite his lack of physical strength.
"I-"
"Say that phrase and I'll grab your co-"
"Don't be vulgar" Kazuma hissed at Nora's unfinished threat. "What don't like it?" Nora pressed himself closed to Kazuma who lifted his other hand to try and keep him back. "I'll. Touch. Your. Co-"
"Nora" Kazuma growled warning him. Nora smirked devilishly. "Cock"
"I forbid" Nora gasped and sloshed back in the tub from the pain in his neck. The water splashed Kazuma soaking his face and hair with bubbles and water. Coughing from the constriction Nora glared at Kazuma. "Stay" Kazuma demanded like he was a dog.
"Damn it! I am not a dog!" Nora yelled splashing water at Kazuma soaking his hair further. The human teen rubbed his face trying to get some of the white soup off his face. Nora then smirked at his face. "…You know…you look hot covered in white stuff. It's a good look for you" he mocked. Honestly he'd never learn. Kazuma glared darkly at him before saying I forbid once more causing the demon the flail splashing water out of the tub. Honestly, Kazuma knew he was NOT going to be the one to clean up this mess. Waiting it out until Nora stopped his flailing and coughing.
"Do you like seeing me in pain or something?" Nora grumbled. "You bring it all on yourself" Kazuma informed him nonchalantly. "So? I like to hit on you, why should I be punished for that. It's not like your ever going to hit on me, somebody has to do it" Nora explained his logic. To Kazuma it sounded ridiculous.
"You don't need to hit on people like that" Kazuma grumbled.
"Oh? Then how should I?" Nora asked genuinely interested. Kazuma was left at a loss of words. Was there a different method to boys who hit on other boys? Or was it the same as heterosexual relationships? "Kazu-I'm waiting" Nora teased with a sly expression. "I forbid" Nora choked again almost drowning. "Stupid dog ruined his bath, clean up this mess" Kazuma said dryly over Nora's screaming as he exited the tub and retrieved a towel to cover his waist.
"Fucking…little….underage…shrimp…" Nora grumbled as he exited the tub after Kazuma. Well that was short lived.
---
"Where's Kazuma?" Koyuki asked Yano and Fujimoto who were sitting out in the lobby with the rest of the students. The lobby was decorated for Christmas, a large pine tree in the room near the fireplace. Decorated in tinsel and lights. "Don't know, don't care" Fujimoto said truthfully as he sipped on the hot chocolate, Koyuki leaned forward on the back of the large cured sofa.
"They're both late, they know about the Christmas party exchange right?" she asked. "I don't know" Fujimoto told her again getting a little frustrated. He knew that Koyuki had gotten Kazuma a gift despite his request not to. And he knew all to well about her little crush on the demon president.
The bustling lobby was filled with chatter from the students and teachers. All exchanging gifts and laughing. Moments later Kazuma and Nora entered the busy lobby. Late for the party of coarse. To be honest Kazuma had forgotten all about it until something Nora said reminded him.
Nora glanced around the heavily packed lobby. "…Why do humans love Christmas so much? Seems stupid to me" Nora grumbled stuffing his hands in his pockets as he leaned his back against the threshold of the large archway leading from the hall into the lobby. Kazuma stopped as well and looked up at him.
"Why in such a bad mood mutt? Couldn't catch your tail?" Kazuma mocked in a monotone. Nora glared down at him. "Will you stop with the dog jokes already, your like a fucking broken record" he grumbled. "Then don't let them get under your skin so easily" Kazuma informed him.
Nora was about to retort when someone yelled at them from across the room. "CAUGHT UNDER THE MISTLETOE!" a student yelled getting everyone's attention who was around them.
"Misa-what?" Nora snapped. Kazuma glanced up seeing the offending plant over their heads in the doorway.
"You guys have to kiss!" a student yelled. And soon a cheer started. The room filled with a rhythmic cheering and giggling. "Kazuma…what the fuck?" Nora asked looking down at him.
"It's tradition, if your caught under mistletoe then you have to kiss whoever is standing under it with you at the time" he explained. Nora turned away closing his eyes. "Tch, that so fuck-"
"Stray dog" Kazuma deadpanned. "Wha-?" Nora looked back to him only to have Kazuma press his mouth against his own. His eyes widened drastically at the action. The room cheered while others seemed a little disgusted.
Slowly breaking away keeping his mouth close to Nora's gaping one. With a smirk Kazuma leaned in to whisper in Nora's ear. "Merry Christmas, stray dog" he whispered to a to shocked to move Cerberus.
