"Dan…" Shun breathed out, looking up at the soft form that found it's way on top of him, messy, idiotic and perfectly made for him.
Heartbeat after heartbeat, this moment only escalated the feeling, the pacing and intensity of each passing heartbeat. Blossoming, and flourishing. So many new yet somehow familiar feelings bursted at the seams.
The younger brunette boy was laughing heartily, horribly failing at stifling his laughter into his boyfriend-now-fiancé's aqua green blouse.
Shun was laughing lightly alongside his love, and simply falling in love, all over again with his best friend. There was something special in the way the moonlight shone over their forms, the way Dan's messy auburn hair seemed to glow a fiery red, it was almost too much.
"We're a total mess right now, Shun. Ahaha" Dan couldn't contain the laughter that came after, as he held up his water soaked sleeve. They were both drenched, a lot of the water from Shun's outdoor pond. Upon the impact of their fall so much of the water splashed around them, but it was fortunate for Shun they had the garden around it, it helped brace the fall.
Shun being trapped between the soft flowers and his fiancé's warm body made for a much more pleasant experience than he expected on his fall down.
Perhaps it was the sweet floral smell, but again perhaps it was all because he was so deeply enamored with Dan. Shun's lips curved into a gentle and loving smile. "We should," he paused between soft butterfly chaste kisses from his boyfriend, "head back," another kiss, "inside," another "to warm up" Shun at last finished up, finding the strength somewhere to lean up on his elbows and sit them both up.
"Mhmm," Dan agreed, angling his head to become lost in the passionate moment, of burying his lips and teeth into the crook of Shun's neck. His raven haired fiancé was having enough struggle staying upright as it was now.
A breathy moan escaped his lips, "I love you," Shun returned, nearly about to simply give in to the loving ministrations his lover was providing him. His heart was swelling with warmth and affection, as Dan closed his eyes, and smiled a wild toothy smile he'd give after the most successful brawls in their lives.
"Of course, I love you too Shun," Dan returned brightly; his auburn brown eyes were twinkling underneath the stars. Shun regained the composure enough to sit up properly, with a beaming Dan Kuso-soon to be Kazami-in his lap. Or so he really desired.
"What?" Dan answered and Shun realized he must have been staring off for too long. The brunette wrapped his arms around the raven male's neck. Shun shook his head, "It's nothing...", he responded which earned him an adorable pout from his fiancé. His eyes were peering into him as though conveying"we will talk about this later", and Shun would be helpless to say otherwise.
Truthfully, they were both so helpless for one another. Thankfully, they had the utmost faith, in each other having the same love and compassionate intents.
Dan snaked his arms around Shun's neck quickly as he felt Shun's body flushing against his own. Shun's long sleeved arms wrapped themselves under Dan's knees and lower back, successfully picking him up, and holding him princess, or perhaps in this case prince style.
Dan flailed his arms and kicked dramatically, "Hey, not fair!" He whined, a pout on his lips expanding further north.
Shun rolled his eyes, "You realize if it was up to you, we'd be out here all night,"
"Yeah, sooo?" He replied stubbornly.
Shun proceeded forward, carrying Dan swiftly towards the wood paneled doors before approaching a familiar one. "And we would just end up being soaked, and getting sick like when we were kids."
Dan pondered for a moment, "Yeah..." and he leaned his head against his lovers shoulder blade. "I guess that's another reason why I love my fiancé. He's so smart", Dan sighed affectionately.
"One of us has to be..." Shun couldn't help but to nuzzle back against Dan, his cheeks flushed from the term "fiancé " alone, and truthfully wondered if his heart could take going further and becoming husbands with this man. It wouldn't make sense any other way. But it was still overwhelming.
Dan took the moment to look up and fluttered his eyelashes. Shun snorted. "What?"
"You loved it when I said that," he confirmed.
"Said...?" Shun replied coyly, although he was far too gone, finally he walked over to the sliding doors separating them from their bedrooms. He managed to reach out a hand and open the door quickly enough.
"Your my fiancé.." Dan whispered in a breathy,tone right into Shun's ear. Shun shivered, nearly dropping Dan from the sensation alone. A possessive streak he hadn't known was within him was tearing at his rationale through the seams. Shun flushed a cherry red.
To some avail, Dan was flustered as Shun walked them over and swiftly tossed him towards the mattress. Dan laid back down laughing and blushing all the same. "See you do love it, we're getting married!" Dan cheered happily.
"Y-yeah that's the point.." Shun attempted to respond calmly. The Ventus brawler was rubbing at his forehead standing just a foot away from the bed. Dan grasped for his wrist, grinning from ear to ear.
"I'm really happy too," Dan answered for them, leaning up on his knees and embracing Shun from behind. He left soft kisses on his flustered fiancé's neck. "Love you so much."
Shun nodded. "Love you too," he breathed turning around to meet Dan for a well earned kiss, before leaning over and taking the hem of Dan's shirt in his hands. Dan flushed immediately hands moving to cover Shun's. He couldn't say he minded the idea but.
"Come on, we should get these washed", Shun explained taking his own shirt off from his body, just now noting the heated gaze from his fiancé.
"You should take yours off as well," Shun advised and if he hadn't left to the laundry room earlier, he doubt he would have made it any further.
Dan had removed the remainder of his dampened clothes, save for his boxers, and tossed them into a side pile. He was still flushed.
Sure as kids they changed in front of each other lots of times, and even took baths together. Now though, things felt so nerve-wracking, and the brunette couldn't help but feel different. Seeing Shun exposed, and being alone in his room like this, after everything had developed. He shivered.
So this was a glimpse into life being married to his best friend. It all felt just so calming and natural. But being Shun, there was always something so alluring and mysterious at the same time.
Jakkor and Drago, were talking amongst themselves, more so with Drago leading the conversation on "Dan's most recent escapades"
"Hey come on it wasn't that bad," Dan would chime in, before he grabbed at the damp clothes beneath his feet.
Drago's deepened voice countered turning towards Dan, "it was a pretty bad fail Dan. You should have seen the look on his face the entire brawl, a little girl who just learned the rules-completely creamed him..."
"What had happened that day?" Jakor asked inquisitively.
Dan flushed, remembering it quite clearly.
Drago took the liberty to tease, "He had gotten his first of his letter back from Shun." He had made his first stop in a small beach port, that week. Thankfully close enough to receive mail back. Drago continued, "His head was in the clouds all day."
Dan balled up his clothing tightly, and bent down to grasp for the nearest pillow. "He's in the room right next door you know," Dan warned seconds away from launching the pillow at his brawling partner.
"Easy there Dan," Drago had teased him, although bouncing towards the other edge of the desk he was upon. "I think it's nice to see how far you two have come. I much prefer it to our early days."
"Early days?" Dan wasn't even sure why he was asking.
"When you kept calling out his name in your sleep." Drago provided, and Dan turned bright red, ready to smother his beloved Bakugan, so he would just stop gossiping already.
"Don't you two have anything else to talk about?" Dan whined.
"Relax, were not planning on interrupting your time," Drago supplied.
Jakkor piped up as well with a more calming, "And congratulations to you both," he had added, enough to calm down Dan's head enough to taking his clothes to the laundry room.
"Hey," Dan greeted his lover sheepishly, opening the sliding door to see Shun busying himself enough with sorting clean and dirty clothing.
"Hey, yourself" Shun responded with a softened smirk. He took Dan's clothes from his hands, sorting them busily, while managing to keep his eyes looking forward and into the brunette's eyes for the most part. "You can..." Shun started biting down on his lip, losing the fight in completely ravishing his fiancé with his eyes. "You can, change into any of my clothes for the night ya know."
It wasn't an unusual outcome for the two. Shun was covered in only a soft aqua towel around his waist whilst his clothes were presumably ready to be washed. Dan's eyes lingered over Shun's form; the glint in his eyes seeming more heated the longer their moment lasted. "Yeah, I'll go do that..."
"You should call your parents too."
"Huh?"
"If you're staying over that is... they left a few messages and just called my phone. They said you weren't answering, I told them you'd call back." Shun explained, rather flustered at seeing his fiancé so exposed, he was turned almost completely red to rival the color of a pyrus attribute. Dan was not doing much better.
It just wasn't them. They both wanted something and they were hesitating around each other. Dan took the lead to lean up onto his toes and rock himself forward. "I will," he whispered into the older male's ear directly. "I'll be waiting for you," Dan finished his voice light and dreamy before leaning to capture Shun's lips in a chaste kiss. They stayed together, with their lips pressed together, no more was needed, not now anyways.
Both boys fluttered their eyes open, before staring into each other's eyes.
Shun swallowed visibly, and nearly fell back against the dryer for support as Dan turned back into the bedroom.
He could hear Dan typing away on his phone and the dialing. Bringing Shun into reality. He could just imagine the Kuso's reaction hearing of their engagement. They had been calling him their son in law since Dan first wrote back about their relationship.
Shun took the remaining clothing items, and placed a few into dry cleaning bags and started in on washing the first load of light clothes.
He chuckled, hearing Dan's cheery and lighthearted voice about "good news", and likely another meeting to announce such news.
Well it was better in person, than in a letter from who knows how far away.
Shun opened the door, taking a breath to calm himself, before returning to his lover.
The raven-haired male took a deep breath before finding his way outside of the doors. He was trying not to let himself get completely swept away. Dan was waiting for him.
His fiance Dan Kuso was waiting for him. His heart was pounding at the ribcage at just the thought of that, of being so exposed with the man he loved more than anyone else. In this lifetime and beyond that. But he loved Dan too much to let his hormones get the best of him, and he was in control. Shun was silently thanking his grandfather for the meditative sessions day and night to resist-'worldly temptations.' It failed to eradicate the feeling of course, but gave Shun some confidence and composure.
He slowly opened the door, hoping to calm himself by exhaling slowly and audibly, but then he saw it. Dan. His Dan, wrapped up in one of his own pajama sets, well to be exact Dan had his blue cotton pajama pants on and was still holding the matching shirt around his wrists, but he stopped. Perhaps he would have gotten dressed and crawled into bed to sleep like normal before, but something in his fiery eyes stated otherwise, and the garment was swiftly dropped back into the door, sliding off of Dan's wrists.
The brunette approached him, mouth feeling insanely try and his heart was completely racing, because this was it. This had to be it, so long as Shun wanted this too, he couldn't hold back anymore. He wanted-no needed-to become intimate with Shun. Their hearts and souls had been bound and interlocked for so many years. It was time to take that next step, and together. Each other's first and only.
Dan's auburn eyes bore into Shun's soft hazel-brown eyes, and for the moment time seemed to stand still. Shun's face was completely flustered, his eyes turned downcast and he looked as though he was about to apologize, he started- "If you need more time….", he began.
Dan quickly shook out of the trance, his lover's voice was so forlorn. No, no more time was needed, no other moment would seem more perfect than the here and now. "No, look at me,"
Shun glanced forward, finding his breath hitch seeing his lover beaming, a flushed smile so sincere and gentle, while his eyes lit up in a fire-burning brighter, and unlikely to be satiated by anything-less than than the wind, and storming passion before himself.
"Shuuun~"
That was all it took to completely break the seal, to keep the two lovers from holding back and away from one another. There was such a beauty in the way Dan rushed right up to Shun and wrapped his arms around his lover. His lips immediately saw purchase over Shun's own and before they knew it they were falling into the passion. Auburn eyes were shining and burning with an intense gaze Shun had only dreamed about before. He had dreamed about this for so long, yet still it all was just a dream before.
Dan's arms traveled south, grasping at the bright aqua towel around his lover's waist, untying it neatly as though it was something they had done 1,000 times before, and with hope, that time would truly come as well. The soft fabric fell to the floor, leaving Shun exposed with
Every touch. Every Kiss. It was all so beautiful and perfectly fragile. There was no one in the world they trusted more than each other, to keep them safe, and truly happy.
Perhaps it was easier to say they fell utterly and completely into each other. Shun's lips crashed and moved feverently against Dan's own. The brunette returned the affection given with everything he had, never one to back down from a challenge. They were both content with any outcome to 'win or lose', who was more dominant hardly mattered, they were drowning in each other.
"I love you so much," Shun cooed out the words, straddling Dan's body on the bed, allowing tears to fall slowly. Dan blinked, feeling a wrenching pain against his chest as his temple scrunched up.
"Shun…" Dan whispered, leaning up on his elbows to meet his temple with Shun's in a soft brush. "What's wrong?", he was worried, his eyes wavered and began to match the watering eyes of his beloved above him.
"Sorry," Shun murmured out, losing his balance and collapsing on top of his love. His raven-black hair cascaded across their bodies. Dan gasped, feeling Shun's weight falling and pinning him to the mattress, but he couldn't bring himself to move either of them. Shun had buried himself between the blankets, with his nose brushing and sniffling against the side of Dan's exposed chest. "Don't be sorry…" Dan assured, pressing his fingers up and down upon the softness of Shun's shoulders and arms.
"Is it still a bit too soon for this?" Dan asked in concern, his eyebrows furrowed "It's alright you know", the brunette ensured, as he continued massaging up and down Shun's arms, although he couldn't hide the tinge of sadness in his tone.
The raven-haired male shook his head quickly. "No, no...it's not like that," Shun assured, turning onto his side and taking the comforting hand between his own. He slowly brought Dan's hands up to his lips, and he felt bad he was trembling. He could see Dan's lips pouting and eyes ready to tear up. He loved Dan so so very much. He was certain. "I'm just...really h-happy," Shun's voice broke out again and he couldn't hide the tears falling now as he kissed the palms, fingertips, and top of his hands over and over again. "I've wanted this for so long," Shun confessed sincerely, with his tone overflowing with an unbridled passion.
Dan rolled onto his side too, taking his free arm and reaching out and over Shun. He pulled their bodies flushed together. Their joined hands became trapped beneath the warmth of their bodies, and Dan managed to caress and hold Shun up higher, allowing Shun's head to fall against his chest. "Hey me too, you know…" Dan whispered, with a soft smirk, allowing and taking in everything that was Shun Kazami. "I've wanted this…"
Shun didn't have to be strong anymore. It was always like this with Dan, he'd build up everything and try to push everything off, until Dan came in and the walls came down easily, the floods released. "I-I'm sorry," Shun stumbled over his words, completely burying his tear-stained face against Dan's chest. His heart soared as he could hear the accelerated heart rate, and he never felt more at home. "You're incredible…" Dan confessed, eyes glittering and ready to fall apart and bring out a flood of tears as well.
Dan murmured sweet loving words, "You're beautiful," he told Shun, brushing his hands and losing them within Shun's long and incredibly soft tresses. "Even when you cry like this…" Dan went on and on, more than happy to play the love-sick fool he knew he was, and hearing Shun's soft bouts of laughter made it beyond worth it. "Really, I'm so incredibly lucky...I feel so loved," Dan confessed, blushing madly, and he smiled seeing the grin upon Shun's cheeks. "I can't wait to be married to you, and spent the rest of our lives together, and I promise I'm not going anywhere without you," Dan had told him, continuing to brush his fingers through Shun's hair softly, for several moments, allowing Shun to be vulnerable. It was alright. Truth be told, having Dan leave again...had crossed among the doubts from his mind. The ones that built up that year without him.
"Thank you Dan," Shun's voice was muffled, as he continued to allow the steady stream of emotions flow down his features. It was all so so much, and yet….Shun couldn't help the selfish part of himself, always wanting more. More and more and more. More of Dan. More of them. More of everything this new life together would offer them.
The older lover, at last emerged forward, pressing and claiming Dan's lips and everything for himself. It was all too much, and kissing and cuddling on their bed was just about everything for this moment, so innocently beautiful "I love you too," Shun had confessed and would continue to countlessly, yet all the same it would never be enough. "Anywhere you want to go, you know I'll be right beside you Dan," Shun promised in earnest, kissing Dan softly up and down his jawline. From right below his chin and down lower and lower until reaching the sensitive skin above his lover's neck.
Shun propped himself up, before straddling and pinning the brunette underneath him to reward his incredible lover, with a soft yet alluring kiss.
Their lips kept meeting so innocently, press after press, until they were practically melded together. "Mmmmn.." Shun moaned against Dan's mouth, while tangling his hands throughout the brunettes messy brown spikes.
Dan grinned into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Shun's waist to successfully move and pull the older boy on top of him.
There was such an incredible warmth from the feeling of their bodies flushed together. Neither wished it would ever stop.
"Hmmm," Shun grinned, looking down at Dan, his fiancé all his. It was an incredibly warm feeling, and that mixed with knowing he belonged to Dan wholeheartedly. "This feels nice," Shun purred, finally feeling the weighted emotions lighten, he was just so incredibly happy, and he hadn't meant to cry like that. "Yeah…" Dan's tone was hoarse, as he felt himself falling into the pattern, his hands had moved up and down Shun's back, massaging gently in circles. Yet, there was no one else in the world Shun would feel that comfortable to be exposed to.
Dan was laughing underneath Shun's form, as he angled his head to meet and kiss against the tender skin down Shun's exposed chest. "D-Dan..." Shun gasped out, leaning back up in surprise as the brunettes slender fingers made their way down to his form. Dan jolted up, giving himself the needed space to sit up, and press into his lover.
Dan met with Shun, he leaned up slightly to meet Shun so they were before each other, now kneeling. "You let your guard down." Dan teased, and with a glint in his auburn eyes, he was back to claiming Shun's upper body with his lips.
Dan's lips had the addicting habit of meeting back to kiss Shun on his lips after each mini interval. To which his lover would smile so tenderly.
Dan moved his kisses lower again, and he left soft butterfly kisses around Shun's chin, and all across his jawline. Peppering kiss after kiss, one after another, in a seemingly endless cycle that would go on and on, until Dan felt the need to move himself back to kiss Shun's lips, which was a feeling that spiked nearly always.
Shun buried his fingers into Dan's messy brown hair as he moved lower, kissing licking and sucking at the sensitive point of skin upon Shun's neck. Dan's hands made quick work of making a mess of his fiancé, caressing and brushing all along the expanse of Shun's well toned chest.
Every so often Dan's lips would move to dance against Shun's own, or to suck upon his lover's tongue. The heat between them only spread, and Shun nearly felt himself losing resolve. Thier bodies were overflowing with a heavenly warmth, and Dan's hips kept move up and down to grind against Shun, to the point where it was almost too much. Almost.
Shun grasped under Dan's chin, tilting his head up enough to reach for an experimental angle. The older male smirked into their softened kiss, before they parted, breathing out heavily. This was about as far as they had ever gone. The friction of their bodies moving against each other was more than enough to put the two lovers over the edge. But tonight things felt so...natural and serene. It was an odd contrast to their physical messy and heated state, but it somehow just made sense. They were each other's soulmate, and best friend. Being closer and closer just seemed like a part of their interwoven lives, and it was inevitable.
A03 for Full !8+ E++
"That was amazing" Dan cheered, raising his arms straight up above his head. It was a pose that made Shun chuckle, so similar to when his fiance claimed himself victorious at some contest.
His lips were spread out wide and curved pleasantly. Dan completely naked and exposed before his love, leaned his body over and on top of Shun, meeting their lips in a tender kiss. "It's because it was you," Dan added sheepishly, a flush tinting his cheeks, just thinking about Shun without recalling their earlier activities would be difficult.
Shun shook his head, "No, it's because it was us."
"Yeah, we are pretty amazing," Dan agreed, in a cheerful tone, planting another kiss right upon the edge of Shun's lip. "I love us~"
Shun laughed at the declaration, shaking his head, before curling his arms around Dan's middle, pulling him in for a warm embrace. "I love us too, but I love you more Dan," Shun countered, grinning at his lover who childishly stuck out his tongue.
"Me too," Dan smiled, and his arms stretched out to cover his mouth in a yawn, "I love you Shun, and sleep...hold me?" Dan asked so nonchalantly it caused Shun to snort. He rolled his eyes, and watched as Dan rolled off his body and onto his side. The brunette faced his older lover, who's smile wouldn't leave his lips for the end of the world. Not after this happiness.
Shun rolled in closer, scooping Dan's body up and wrapping his arms around and under his lover. "Anything for you Dan, anything."

A/N: This chapter came with a bit of delay due to illnesses, extra teaching/nanny shifts, and my inability to concentrate on anything etc. but here's some smut/fluff /lovemaking (the full version is on my A03 account under "AyaxRoses" as well. 18+ only.
