Death Becomes Me

Ch.4

Show and Tell

Esadu was amazed at the size of the bathroom to say the least. It was huge and very beautiful, and he could not help it when his jaw dropped. The colors in which it was decorated in consisted of mostly dark colors, but were not cold and uninviting. The walls were done in a dark coal black and a deep blood red that seemed to shimmer depending on how you looked at it. The trimmings at the tom and bottom were a charcoal grey and had diamond like crystals and gems imbedded inside of it in intricate patterns that gleamed in the light of the room. Inside was a toilet, a tub, a separated shower and a door leading to maybe another room or a closet. The tub was huge and looked like it could fit at least 16 people in it, and at the bottom it had jewels of all different colors in patterns just like on the wall.

Shi just smiled at his young lover as he carried him to the tub and sat him down on the tiled floor gently, then kissed him on the forehead before tuning to the tub. He turned it on and set the temperature so it was nice and hot for them then plugged it up and let it fill slowly. While it filled, Shi walked over to the door that Esadu had noticed earlier and walked inside.

Esadu guessed that it was a closet as he watched Shi walk away, noticing that when the door was opened there were towels on shelves on the walls inside. He absentmindedly started to fun his hand over the smooth tiles of the floor, they were soft and warm and since he was sitting on them….he was glad for that. The tiles were grey, silver, red and black….and one would think hearing those colors would make the item seem plain, but they were most definitely not. They too were stunningly beautiful just like everything else Esadu had had the pleasure of laying his eyes upon.

A few moments later Shi came back out of the closet carrying two towels, and couple of bottles of bathtub oils. He laid the towels on the medium sized table that was also in the room. Esadu had not even noticed the elegantly sculpted table until just now. It had beautiful carvings in it, and the top looked to be made of shimmering black marble and the base of it was a silver/grey stone.

Shi looked over at him and smiled warmly at his young lover.

"Is everything alright?" he asked, walking over to his kneeling down in front of him and ran his hand over Esadu's cheek slowly.

"Y...yes...everything is fine, I was just looking around a bit "Esadu said blushing a nice soft cute pink color.

Shi chuckled softly then stood up, and walked over to the table and grabbed the bath oils. He then walked over to the tub and added some of each to the hot water. The first one was a pink bottle and as soon as it was added, the warm sweet smell of vanilla and honey suckle filled the room. Shi then added some of the second bottle, and the first smell blended with the rich aroma of strawberries and peaches.

Esadu smiled and his body seemed to relax a bit more and he closed his eyes and took in a deep calming breath. Shi looked back at the boy and smiled in amusement then walked over to him, picking him up into his arms bridal style.

The young boy squeaked cutely...his eyes snapped open and he looked up at his lover only to see Shi laughing. Esadu went even redder then before and looked down quickly. Shi's laugh was so beautiful...like a dark melody, it was kind of eerie but...also very wonderful.

"Come now love you must stop being so cute, I may get a little too addicted " Shi said as held the small boy close to him and walked to the tub. He then slowly stepped inside the tub and carefully sat down in the hot water then positioned Esadu on his lap so he was sitting, facing himself.

Esadu just sighed happily and completely relaxed and wrapped his arms around Shi's neck, laying his head on his lovers pale chest. He was so calm, relaxed, and for once in his life since his parents had died...he felt loved but most of all he felt warm and safe.

"Are you enjoying yourself so far my love "Shi asked softly

"Yes...I am arigatou gozaimasu "Esadu whispered.

Shi smiled happily and ran his hands slowly up and down his young lovers back, extracting a soft gasp of pleasure from the boy.

"I am glad to here that, and it will only get better here for you...I promise, and if you ever have any problems please do come to me at any time" he said with a soft seductive smile.

"Hmmmmmm...so are you hungry at all" Shi then asked his young mate, looking down at the slightly tussled hair then ran his fingers threw it slowly.

"Y...yes I am...just a bit..." Esadu said looking up at Shi threw his hair, and was blushing bright red which seemed to be becoming a natural color for the boy.

"Alright then I will have some food brought up so we can eat and then when we are done, we will go to be for some much needed rest" Shi purred then leaned down and kissed Esadu softly on the forehead.

"Ok...that sounds wonderful" Esadu said softly as he laid his head back on Shi's chest as he was slowly washed.

Shi smiled happily as he washed his young mate. The boys' skin was so soft and smooth and he could not help but want to touch it. While he washed him, small moans of satisfaction were emitted from the boy, which only made Shi happier.

"Close your eyes, I am going to wash your hair and I do not want you to get anything in your eyes because it would hurt" Shi instructed.

He then wrapped his arm around Esadu's small waist and leaned him backward so that only the top of his head was touching the water. Slowly running his hand threw the soft hair, he made sure to get it all wet before pulling him back up. Shi could not resist the temptation to kiss Esadu's oh so inviting lips as he brought him closer so their chests were touching. When he finally pulled away, the young boy was panting softly and his cheeks were flushed as he looked at Shi with half lidded eyes. Shi just smiled then kissed him on the nose. His mate was so beautiful and he could not be happier with how the situation had gone.

"Close your eyes love and do not open them when I tell you to do so….alright?" Shi asked kindly, the smile still delicately places on his lips.

At the nod he got from the boy and when Esadu's eyes were firmly shut, Shi reached over and grabbed a bottle of shampoo. When it was opened, the wonderful smell of lavender was added to all the other wonderful smells in the bathroom. Shi poured some of the purple goo onto his hand then replaced the bottle. He then kissed Esadu on the forehead before he started to wash the wonderfully soft locks of hair. Lathering it up till all of the long hair was concealed in a mass of purple bubbles he could not help but stifle a small chuckle at the adorable boy. He then, once again wrapped one arm around the small waist and slowly leaned Esadu down so his head was touching the water. Letting the water get most of the soap out he then ran his fingers threw his hair till the water was free of the suds and so was Esadu's hair.

"Alright you can open your eyes now" Shi said as he brought the boy back up. He was amazed at how flexible the boy was and it only made him wonder just how flexible he could. Those thoughts led way to others and he quickly had to clear his mind. They really needed to get off to bed so pleasurable experiments and games would have to wait till another time.

Esadu slowly opened his eyes and smiled at him. He was falling for Shi even faster then he thought he could, but no one had ever been so nice or as gentle as this man was to him and he really needed and wanted to feel loved. Esadu then without being asked washed Shi's body, he was shaking a bit when he washed the lower parts of the mans body……but knew he would have to get used to it eventually and besides, he liked to take baths with Shi.

When they were all done Shi picked Esadu up and carried him out to the bedroom. As soon as they had walked in, Esadu had smelt food and he was starving. He went bright red when his stomach growled rather loud and he only heard Shi's wonderful laughter, but that in turn made him go redder in embarrassment.

Shi knew how hungry he was so he made quick work of dressing the boy in soft black silk pajama pants and a silk dark grey pajama top. He himself only wore a pair of black silk pajama pants since he would normally get really hot at night and throw his shirt off.

The meal was small but would have to do for tonight, in the morning they would have a large breakfast. After their hair was dried and they were warm he lead his lover over to table where biscuits, mashed potatoes with gravy, carrots, and a meat that looked like a chicken breast was arranged on a plate and looked delicious. Esadu's mouth was practically drooling as he looked at the food. It felt like ages since the last time he had eaten. He was then escorted to a chair and he sat down as Shi pushed it in for him then sat across from him. The table was small so there was not too much distance between them.

They both ate quietly; Esadu was as usual sporting a nice pink blush on his cheeks that only made Shi smile. His mate was so adorable and he made him happy. He had only known the boy for about a day….but then again he had watched the boy grow up just to make sure he stayed save for when the time came for the contract to be completed.

Shi's POV

I was not expecting this at all, I really could not believe the turn of events that had unfolded. Esadu was mine and only mine and there was no chance I was going to loose him. The way he blushed when I touched him or talked to him….he seemed so innocent but I took that myself. Looking at him as we ate I knew he was not going to change. He would keep that wonderful sweet innocence his whole life and that made me happy. I could not wait to show him off to everyone, but I knew that I would have to protect him with my life no matter what……and I knew someone would try to take him from me.

End POV

Esadu's POV

I could not believe this...I really couldn't. This was like a dream come true...he had been taken from that awful place and was now here where he felt loved, warm and safe. As I sat there eating I would occasionally look up and take quick peeks at the man named Shi. He was very hansom, tall, strong, kind, and even I could tell that he was very powerful. I knew the moment I met him that my life would change but, I never expected this. All he has to do it look at me and my cheeks flare up into the reddest o blushes...sheesh it is so embarrassing but he seems to think it is cute. No one has ever treated me in such a manner, it felt so wonderful to feel...needed and wanted. He hoped that everything would go well, he wanted to stay here with Shi forever and he intended on doing just that.

End POV

When they were both done eating Shi walked Esadu over to the bed and quickly wrapped his arms around him and kissed his neck.

"Time or bed my love, we have a big day ahead of us and we should not be tired" Shi said then yawned softly before getting into bed and slid under the covers.

Esadu smiled, still blushing as he crawled onto the bed and moved close to Shi, instantly getting grabbed by the strong arms. He instinctively cuddled closer to Shi and yawned. It did not take long for them to drift off to sleep cuddled close together. While they were sleeping, neither of them saw the maids walk in and clear out the room and clean everything up. They slept peacefully and as they slept, their bond seemed to get stronger.
