"Hey, Tatsumi!" Tatsumi was in his own world so he was surprised when a weight fell onto his back with arms wrapping around his shoulder from behind.

"Oh hey." He greeted Lubbock distantly, still clearing his thoughts. Lubbock leaned more against his back.

"Something wrong?" He asked curiously. Tatsumi figured there were at least fifty things wrong with himself, but seeing the bright smile from the other male's face made him not want to ruin the mood with any pettiness.

"Nah just thinking." Tatsumi answered shifting a little from sitting on the grass. An hour had passed and Tatsumi did not even realize he was still sitting outside long after Lubbock and Wave parted ways.

"About what?" Nosy as usual. Tatsumi turned his head and poked Lubbock's cheek.

"Nothin'. What are you doing out here?" Lubbock nuzzled his head in the nape of Tatsumi's shoulder, and Tatsumi could not, help but resemble him as an attention-loving cat.

"Don't you know? We have to pick after ourselves starting tomorrow. We'd have like, zero time to even talk. I heard Miss Najenda's gonna make sure to separate us too." Lubbock complained. Tatsumi's raised an eyebrow.

"And who did you hear this from?"

"Leone." Lubbock answered with a cheeky grin. Tatsumi rolled his eyes, not stopping the smile spread onto his own face. In the mean time, Lubbock unwrapped his arms to crawl in front of him. "Pretty trustworthy source."

"I'll say..." Tatsumi held Lubbock's waist and pulled him over his lap. Their heads automatically leaned in and their noses rubbed gently.

"Guess what, Tatsumi." Lubbock said softly.

"What?"

"I still love you." Lubbock quickly pressed their lips together and Tatsumi melted into the kiss with warmth and joy spreading through his body like a wildfire. Lubbock soon broke the kiss with a small pout.

"Well, now you say it." Lubbock demanded and Tatsumi laughed softly.

"I still love you too." He said as he watched the older teen's cheeks brighten satisfyingly.

"Mister Lubbock. It's time for your daily check-up." A nurse called out. Tatsumi heard Lubbock groan.

"I'm fine..." He muttered, but stood up reluctantly. "By the way Tatsumi, I was actually sent to tell you that we'll be going back to the base at sunset. Najenda needs some files recorded." Lubbock said. Tatsumi stood up and noticed the nurse was looking at him with a small blush.

"Oh alright." Tatsumi said with a raised eyebrow.

"B-By the way Mister Tatsumi." The nurse suddenly said, "I can also give you a check up." She offered while twirling her hair shyly. "Y-You know, if you're feeling uncomfortable anywhere-"

Tatsumi's response to the request is stepping up to Lubbock and kissing him fully on the lips.


"Ready, everyone?" Najenda asked Night Raid. "Wave, I hope you can handle flying at high speed." She added. The black haired male paled.

"A-Actually I'm kinda not good with heights-"

"Great! Everyone aboard." Najenda said over him. Tatsumi smiled exasperately.

"Don't worry, Wave. Mine and Lubbock can barely handle it too." He reassured the male.

"I heard that!" Both Lubbock and Mine yelled from atop the manatee. The two boys laughed and boarded with everyone else. Tatsumi thought for sure he was not going to like Wave's company. So far, everything was going so well that he truly believed it may have been the pettiness from earlier that created his previous doubts.

Halfway through the flight, Tatsumi had to comfort a sick Lubbock while constantly checking on Wave and Mine toward the back. He sighed at their inability to ride through a single trip without having the urge to throw up.

"It's too bad we have to do this again tomorrow." Lubbock muttered in Tatsumi's chest. "I don't think my body will make it."

"Don't talk like that." Tatsumi said as he stroked his green hair. "We'll use the hot spring tonight." He then looked over at Wave. "Hey, Wave! Wanna join us?"

"Sorry Tatsumi, but I plan to give him a tour!" Leone called out with a sneaky smile. Tatsumi sweated and Wave spoke up.

"I'll g-gladly go anywhere near water!" Wave exclaimed. This made Leone pout and Tatsumi to shrug at her with a grin.

In a while, they made it by the base and everyone got off the organism. Once Najenda sent it back, she walked in front of the group and stared up at the base.

"Hm... We might have to clear out of here soon. We need to be closer toward the Capitol. Besides, the rocks are wearing away. Only a matter of time before the ceiling closes in." Najenda said. Meanwhile, Wave stared up at the building in awe.

"You guys are really smart to have built the base under the canyon!" He exclaimed.

"Like it? It was my previous teigu's idea." Najenda said as they filed to the base.

"Wait your teigu...?" Wave questioned and the woman pulled out the teigu reference book.

"You got a lot to learn, kid."


"How's the water?" Tatsumi asked, kneeling beside the edge of the hot spring. Wave sank deeper into the steaming water.

"Perfect. Better than the ones back at the Capitol. This one is more in an open environment." Wave described. Tatsumi agreed as he got into the water as well. Eventually, Lubbock walked out with a white towel covering his entire torso.

"The damn scar is still healing." Lubbock muttered, as he sat by the edge. "You guys enjoying the water?"

"Yeah. You should get in." Tatsumi suggested and Lubbock pressed a finger against his cheek.

"Then turn around. You too Wave." Lubbock commanded with a slight blush.

"B-But we all have-"

"Turn around!"

The two males quickly did so and Tatsumi blushed when he heard the towel flutter on the grass and felt the water disturbance.

"Okay you can look." Lubbock happily said and the other two boys sweated.

"It isn't that bad." Tatsumi said exasperately. "I bet it looks way better than last time."

"Nah. It still looks weird. Hey Wave, do you drink?" Tatsumi did not even ask how Lubbock managed to bring a wine bottle and glasses over.

"Depends on what it is." Wave said as he came over. Lubbock turned around to face the edge and held up the pristine white bottle.

"Just your average grape wine. No worries. What about you, Tatsumi?" Lubbock asked while pouring Wave a glass. "Or are you still that virgin country boy we all know and love?" He humored.

Tatsumi raised an eyebrow at the supposed joke.

"Shut up and hand me a glass."


Moments later, all three males were contently laughing and chatting up any topic that went through their minds. Later, Wave exited the spring with the intent to sleep. Both Tatsumi and Lubbock said their goodnights to him and Lubbock gently spun the empty wine bottle on the wet grass.

"How did you like it?" Lubbock asked.

"The wine? I never expected it to taste this good." Tatsumi answered with permanent pink cheeks. "I remember one time the elder let me taste wine at a dinner party, but it was awful. Actually, I don't even think it was wine."

Lubbock laughed.

"I have other kinds at my bookshop. Ah, I forgot how long I haven't opened it. So many books must be overdue... Ah well it's blown up by now."

"Are you still going to turn your book shop into a chain store?" Tatsumi asked. Lubbock stacked the glasses in thought.

"Hmm yeah, I still want to. You should be my assistant." Lubbock suggested.

"Sure, if I learn real estate." Tatsumi said humorously. Lubbock leaned his head in to peck Tatsumi's lips.

"I'll teach you everything you need to know." The older male said with a small grin.

Tatsumi blushed heavily at the double-meaning behind the statement before kissing back.

"I'd look forward to it." He said afterwards, mirroring the smile. It was Lubbock's turn to blush before he looked down with a widening grin.

"Hey. Let's get back to the base." Lubbock said as he straightened. With a pounding heart, Tatsumi nodded and got out of the hot water, turning to look at Lubbock. "Go on. I'll catch up."

The brunette dried himself and put clothes on nearby a rock. Eventually, he heard the water splash and he took a deep breath, wondering why he was so nervous. Maybe it was the wine.

"Tatsumi." Said male turned around, swallowing when Lubbock stood behind him dressed in only a short silk robe. His stomach gave abrupt butterflies when Lubbock approached him and stood close so their chests could touch.

Tatsumi did not recall leaning in because in the next moment they were kissing. Regardless, he held Lubbock's waist and deepened the kiss. Of all the kisses they've had, Tatsumi found this one to be the most passionate. It wasn't soft and sweet, nor was it rough and hasty. He could not put his finger on it, but it all did not matter when Lubbock's hands slowly traveled up his chest and to his shoulders.

They parted for air and Tatsumi watched Lubbock pant softly with red cheeks. Then, something clicked in his mind.

"That's right." Tatsumi said under his breath, Lubbock looked up at him curiously.

"What is?" He asked. Tatsumi moved one hand up Lubbock's back and other one traveled lower. Then, he swiftly flipped the male into his arms in a bridal manner, hearing Lubbock's surprised yelp. "Tatsumi!?"

Tatsumi began carrying Lubbock toward the base. "I'm keeping my promise." He simply said.

It took a while before Lubbock rested his head against Tatsumi's chest with flushed cheeks and a content smile.

Once they made it to his room, Tatsumi kicked the door closed from behind. He then kissed Lubbock one last time as he made his way to his bed. Soon, he gently placed Lubbock on the bed and slipped off his own white jacket.

The older teen's cheeks brightened once Tatsumi climbed over him on the bed.

"What about your..." Lubbock hinted. Tatsumi smiled.

"I'm having better control over it. Even so, I know you'll help too." He explained.

Lubbock smiled back and leaned up to press their lips together. Tatsumi urged him back down while keeping their lips locked, unbuttoning and slipping down his own shirt. Lubbock's hands rested on his bare chest and slid lower over his abs. Tatsumi resisted shuddering at the light touch and parted his lips to lick at Lubbock's. Once Lubbock accepted the invite, their tongues played together eagerly. Lubbock moved his hands around to the small of Tatsumi's back and moaned.

Tatsumi felt his mind slowly begin to cloud and broke the kiss to trail shorter ones down Lubbock's neck. As he did this, he felt Lubbock whimper and turn his head to the side. Tatsumi sucked gently on the supple skin while carrassing his sides. He made sure to lightly nibble with his fangs when he noticed how sensitive Lubbock was.

"Ah..." Tatsumi moved his hands to undo Lubbock's robe and his breath hitched once the material was parted. He immediately dived down to lick and suck on Lubbock's chest, feeling him shiver and moan. There was a sense of empowerment he felt from being the one to make Lubbock shake beneath him.

His red and green eyes gazed over the smooth torso. He better be the only one with the privilege of seeing Lubbock like this.

"You're beautiful." Tatsumi complimented when he noticed Lubbock's hesitant look. He kissed down the tender scar and Lubbock's hands quickly held his head. Tatsumi stopped at the end of the scar and scooted back up, seeing Lubbock's blush.

With one look, Lubbock silently slipped off his robe completely and Tatsumi pulled down his pants and underwear. He then pulled a blanket over them and Lubbock wrapped his arms around his shoulders just as their lips connected once more.

Tatsumi's lower abdomen washed over with warmth and his heart gave several jumps when their bodies pressed together. They occasionally moaned softly into each other's mouths while shifting their heated bodies against each other. Tatsumi felt his own hands rub Lubbock's waist and down his thighs, feeling his arousal increase.

"Mm..." Their pelvises began to grind against each other. Sudden jolts inside his body made Tatsumi deepen their kiss and move against Lubbock more quickly. Lubbock arched against his torso and moved as well with small moans.

Tatsumi soon had to part their lips and panted on Lubbock's shoulder as their grinding became more apparent.

"A-Ah... Tatsumi..."

Lubbock parted his legs more and Tatsumi's clouded mind begged for more. The inner desire began to grow and he stopped moving altogether.

"Hah..." Lubbock sat up a little with heavy breaths and blindly reached over the nightstand with a hand. He grabbed a bottle and Tatsumi blinked when he heard a cap pop open.

"Lubba?"

Lubbock laid back and in several moments, Tatsumi clenched the sheets tightly while bearing his teeth when a soft hand grasped at his hard member.

"Ngh..." He felt a substance slicken his manhood and Tatsumi buried his head in the nape of Lubbock's shoulder, slowly thrusting into the hand. Lubbock grinned and continued to stroke Tatsumi with the lube. "L-Lubba... hah..."

His hips uncontrollably jerked into Lubbock's hand and his pleasure continued to increase when the stroking became faster.

"Aah... Oh..." Just as he lost himself in the pleasure, Lubbock shifted to press their lips together. Tatsumi shook, desperately thrusting into hand while moaning in Lubbock's mouth. His whole body became tremulous and before he could lose himself altogether, Lubbock let go of his aching member.

"Here." Lubbock said after separating the kiss. Tatsumi felt Lubbock slide up a little and spread his legs more. The brunette looked down and a rush of blind arousal overtook his body when he saw Lubbock's erect manhood.

"A-Are you sure?" He asked hesitantly, feeling the dragon in him yearn to free itself. Lubbock nodded with a shy smile.

"Please."

Tatsumi forced himself to stay in control by taking a deep breath. He straightened up and pushed down on Lubbock's legs while pressing his pulsing member against the puckered entrance. Lubbock flushed and arched slightly while clenching the sheets.

After a quiet moment, Tatsumi slowly forced himself in. Lubbock immediately tensed and whimpered as he was slowly being filled. Tatsumi only kept his legs down and pushed in faster with furrowed brows, feeling the tight quivering muscles wrap around his cock.

"O-oh... Ngh... Ah!" Tatsumi gave a final impatient shove to completely sheath himself inside the hot, velvet cave. He desperately wanted to thrust in and out roughly, but he sat still and waited for Lubbock to adjust to him.

Lubbock had turned his head to the side while squeezing his wet eyes shut. Tatsumi leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"You can move." Lubbock said. As much as Tatsumi would like to, he shook his head.

"Not until I know for sure you're okay." He said. Lubbock held onto Tatsumi's shoulders and leaned up to whisper in his ear.

"I've always wanted to be this close to you." He murmured and Tatsumi's face reddened, "I feel so complete, almost as though it was meant to be this way. So please, keep going."

Tatsumi let go of the male's legs in favor of gripping the sheets on either side of Lubbock's head. In one fluid motion, he pulled out slightly before snapping his waist forward. Lubbock twitched and tightened his grip on Tatsumi's shoulder, finally moaning when Tatsumi shoved in again.

A steady tempo began and Tatsumi tensed each time he slid into Lubbock. Their moaning mingled in the air as they moved erotically under the blanket.

"Ah... Ah... Tatsumi..." Tatsumi felt himself gradually thrusting faster from the waves of pleasure exploding through his body. His gliding cock twitched inside the tight heat and he grinds quickly inside Lubbock, hearing his lover's moans become more vocal. The bed creaked slightly, but they paid no attention.

Tatsumi went back to sucking hard on Lubbock's neck, still thrusting into the male. Lubbock's legs wrapped around his waist in response and the older teen moved back against him. Tatsumi groaned and focused on not going too rough, despite his inner desire to.

Just then, Lubbock gasped and jolted involuntarily and Tatsumi paused.

"Ah Lubba?"

"I'm fine, don't stop." Lubbock quickly said and Tatsumi shoved back in deep, hearing Lubbock moan louder than usual. Putting two and two together, Tatsumi thrust harder in the same spot and Lubbock twisted and shook under him.

"Ah! T-Tatsu- ah!" His stomach gave several somersaults from the response and Tatsumi eagerly thrust quicker. The pleasure increased with each push and sweat rolled off his chest as he continued to please himself and Lubbock.

Lubbock moved his hands to clasp Tatsumi's, and Tatsumi pinned the male's hands down onto the bed as he pistoned into the squelching hole.

"Aah! Haah! M-More!" Tatsumi rolled his hips and thrust as deep as he could.

"L-Lubba..!"

"I-I'm... oh...!"

Tatsumi slammed harder into Lubbock and pressed their lips together. They swallowed each other's moans and moved uncontrollably against each other. The brunette thrust impossibly quicker as he felt his stomach coil.

"Ngh! Mm!" The precum caught messily in the sticky thrusting and his cock slipped in and out more easily. Tatsumi moved his head up for air and whimpered as he could no longer control the tempo. Lubbock cried out while only being able to accept the harsh pounding.

"Tatsumi!"

"Lubba!"

Squeezing their hands tight, Tatsumi moaned loudly as the coil burst and squirted thick fluids deep inside Lubbock. Lubbock moaned and teared up when he was still being thrusted into and his eyes widened when he was suddenly being filled with semen. Eventually, he orgasmed with a great shiver and came onto their heaving chests and stomachs.

Tatsumi finally pulled out of Lubbock's leaking hole and collapsed beside him, breathing heavily. Time passed before Lubbock leaned against him and the younger teen wrapped his arms around him.

"I love you so much." Tatsumi said as he buried his face in Lubbock's hair. The other boy hummed happily in his arms.

"I love you too. Thank you, Tatsumi."

The brunette thought for a while.

"Hey, Lubba?"

"... Hm?"

Tatsumi leaned his head back with a flushed smile.

"Can we do this again? N-Not right now, but I really liked this so... maybe-" Lubbock pressed a finger against his lips, laughing softly.

"Of course we can. As much as you want." He answered smoothly.

After a final long, sweet kiss, they fell asleep in each other's arms, both with loving smiles.
