Chapter Nineteen: Mating Season
Lovino trembled violently, blood dripping down his chin like a waterfall. Antonio looked at him worriedly as Lovino coughed again and more blood splattered all over the blanket and bowl Antonio had brought him.
"L-Lovi?"
The Italian looked up, "R-run a shower …" reluctant to leave Lovino's side, he walked to go run a nice hot shower. He came back a minute later and pulled the bowl and blanket away and carried Lovino into the bathroom. His ears were flattened against his head and his tail was wrapped up tightly between his legs.
Antonio stripped him and set him under the spray, before stripping himself and stepping in beside him, "Are you going to be able to stand up straight?"
Lovino nodded and just closed his eyes, letting the water wash away the blood. Antonio sighed and took the wash cloth and slowly rubbed it in little circles on Lovino's jaw and face, making sure it all washed away. He placed gentle kisses to his cheek and nose.
After a few more minutes, once Lovino was clean, Antonio shut off the water and wrapped a towel around Lovino's shoulders and lifted him from the shower, taking him to the bed room. He laid him down and kissed his forehead, "Get some more sleep, okay. I'll be right here."
He didn't put up any fight as he let his eyes slip closed. Lovino awoke, completely refreshed, a long while later, close to noon. He looked around, confused, still naked wearing only a towel from the shower. He groaned at the warm, fuzzy feeling that had overcome him. Lovino felt hot and at the same time, cold.
Lovino wrapped it around his waist and made his way into the living room. Antonio was making something for lunch.
"Good afternoon, Lovi~!" Antonio smiled, warily, "How are you feeling?"
"Better. Hungry." he walked into the kitchen, still only wearing the towel. His tail whipped around and he sat down. However, his cheeks were tinted red and the warm feeling only grew when Antonio spoke.
"Did you want me to set out some clothes for you?" Antonio asked, turning the chicken breast in the pan.
Lovino blushed deeper red and shook his head, "No … I'm fine …" why did he feel so utterly weird?
"Oh … okay then~! Lunch will be ready in a minute~!" he removed the chicken from the pan and sliced it into thin strips and throwing it into something else.
Antonio then set a bowl in front of Lovino. He stared down at it and looked up at the Spaniard.
"What is it?"
"Chicken noodle soup … supposed to be good for the sick …" he said sadly. Lovino felt a twist in his heart, sad there was nothing he could do to get better. He hated to leave Antonio behind …
Lovino said nothing as he raised the spoon to his lips and slowly sipped the soup. When it was all gone, he was rewarded with a kiss, which made him blush darkly.
Antonio washed the dishes and wrapped his arms around Lovino's shoulders, "What do you want to do today~?" Lovino thought of one thing, but shook it away, his face heating up like the rest of his body.
"Didn't you have work?" he asked, a little more breathy than he would have liked, but he wanted to be closer to Antonio … to feel his arms wrapped tightly around him …
"I called in … there was no need to go in with you not feeling well ... Ludwig understood." Antonio kissed Lovino's cheek, "So what do you want to do?"
Lovino blushed and shifted in the seat to face Antonio. He took in the man's scent and moaned softly, nuzzling his face against him. His arms slipped around the man's waist and he pressed his body against the older man's, rubbing against him lightly. He couldn't describe how wonderful it felt to hold Antonio like that and mark him with his scent, "I want to mate." he whispered, pressing his face into Antonio's neck, rubbing his face there, too. He wanted to cover Antonio with his scent and let everyone else know who he belonged to.
Antonio's face became crimson red and he began stumbling over his words, "B-but … Lovi! We've only … it's just … why?"
The smaller male leaned up and kissed Antonio softly, "Because … I want to mate at least once in my life … and I want to mate with you. Besides … I think …" his face was bright red, and his breathing was becoming shallow and heated, "I think I'm ... it's ... mating season … I need you …" he whispered, pathetically whimpering. Lovino wanted, desperately, to feel Antonio's touches.
He cut off the Spaniard's forming words with another, much more passionate, needy kiss. Lovino was not really sure about human mating, but he really did want to do it at least once before he died or got too sick to do anything. Antonio said he loved him, so there was no problem, right?
"But what about your condition?" Antonio muttered, pulling his lips away for a moment.
Lovino glared, "I feel fine … it's only at night that it bothers me … don't you want to mate with me?" he pouted lightly, with his lower lip perfectly pushed out and his eyes glazed over with a sexual desire.
How was he supposed to answer that? "No! I mean, I do, but not if it hurts you …" Lovino cut him off again by kissing him and tightening his hold around Antonio's neck. He rubbed his leg against Antonio's and let his tail brushed against the slightly exposed skin under Antonio's shirt.
Antonio shivered and kissed Lovino back fervently, pulling him close to his own body. His hands gripped Lovino's waist tightly and he moaned softly into the kiss.
Lovino stood up and broke the kiss for air, "You won't hurt me, damn it …" that was all Antonio needed to let his own animalistic side come out. He lifted Lovino up and crushed their lips together. The man carried Lovino all the way to his bed room, where he dropped Lovino to the bed and climbed on top of him, pressing hot kisses down Lovino's neck.
The Italian moaned softly with each touch and each kiss. He felt the towel slip away and his tail curled up and brushed against Antonio's stomach again. His body felt too warm and he felt his mind clouding up with his need.
Antonio sat back to drink in the sight of his Lovino. The man blushed and tried to cover himself, but Antonio smiled and pushed his hands away, "I love you … you're so unique and beautiful …"
Lovino blushed a deeper shade of red, "Sh-shut up, bastard …" Antonio laughed and ran his hands lovingly down Lovino's sides. The smaller man arched his back and laughed lightly.
The Spaniard smiled and tickled him again, earning a light kick to the side, "Damn bastard! Even I know that's not part of mating!"
Antonio mocked a pout and leaned forward, "Is that all Lovi wants me for?" Lovino gaped and blushed, "N-No!" he was shut up with a kiss, "I know, my Lovi~ I was teasing~ are you sure you want this? Once we start, we can't stop …"
Lovino nodded quickly, knowing he'd only been this sure about a few things before: his intense hatred for Antonio's ex and his intense love for Antonio. Antonio kissed him, but sat up to pull off his shirt. Olive colored hands reached up to run over the newly exposed chest. Antonio leaned down his place a kiss on Lovino's neck. Lovino moaned softly and tilted his neck back to allow Antonio more room to nibble and suck.
He gasped loudly when Antonio wrapped his fingers around Lovino's hardened member. Loud moans began to spill from his mouth with each stroke Antonio gave him.
"God … Antonio …"
The Spaniard grinned at the delicious sounds he was eliciting from Lovino and continued his assaulting his neck and member.
His own erection was pressing into his pants and he frowned, wanting to get free and sink deep inside his Lovino, but had to make sure Lovino wanted this, and not just because … well … Antonio did NOT want to think about that.
He bit down on Lovino's neck, only exciting him more. He groaned, feeling Lovino's tail brush against a certain sensitive bulge. He gasped again as Lovino realized what he was doing.
"Lovi … you sure? I mean, really, really sure you want this?" he hissed when Lovino raised his leg to brush against the spot his tail had previously been.
"I'm sure, bastard. For the last time." Lovino whispered huskily into Antonio's ear.
Antonio groaned and reached into his bedside table to pull out a small bottle. He popped the cap and poured a generous amount on his fingers. He pressed one of those fingers to Lovino's entrance, "This … is going to sting …" he pushed inside. Lovino hissed and let his eyes shut tightly.
"What the hell, bastard?" he yelped.
Antonio leaned down and kissed Lovino gently and passionately, "I'm sorry my love … I'll make it feel good in a second … just be patient, okay?"
Lovino nodded, trusting him.
He pushed another finger into his love's waiting entrance and slowly began to pump them in and out and stretch his love. Lovino growled and hissed until Antonio added a third and pushed in deep to hit a certain bundle of nerves. Lovino threw his head back and moaned loudly, "What the …"
"That, my love, is just one of the tools I'm going to use to make you feel good~" Antonio grinned, pulling his fingers from Lovino. He grabbed the bottle and poured the lubricant into his palm. His pants were removed and he slicked his throbbing member, preparing himself to 'mate' with Lovino. He grinned, thinking about how cute Lovino was, however, right now … panting, sheening with sweat, that lustful look in his eyes … Lovino was drop dead sexy …
Antonio positioned himself at Lovino's entrance and kissed him passionately as he thrust into him. Lovino whipped his head away and he yelled out in pain, tears forming in the corners of his eyes, "Damn it! Get out! Get out! Get out! NOW!" he didn't care what his body was telling him, the mating was hurting too much.
"I told you, my love … once we start, we can't stop … the pain will pass … just relax … please … you're hurting me …" Antonio winced as Lovino clenched tightly around him.
Lovino refused to relax or calm down and Antonio resorted to using those ears against him. He reached forward and began scratching behind Lovino's ear. The man mewled, forgetting Antonio being seated deeply within him. It wasn't quite enough to make him relax and Antonio sighed, running his fingers through Lovino's hair.
"CHIGI!" the man yelped out in pleasure.
Antonio raised his brow, "What was that?"
Lovino glared up at him, "My curl …"
The Spaniard grinned and looked at the curl. He grabbed it between his fingers and pulled it gently, causing Lovino to moan loudly and relax completely. Antonio let out a breath of relief and slowly began moving out and back in.
"There we go …" Antonio muttered. Lovino wriggled beneath him, but seemed like he was growing used to the feeling of Antonio filling him up.
He used it as the perfect opportunity to search for that bundle of nerves again. Soon enough, the man found it and Lovino was seeing stars, "Antonio! Right there! Oh … god … right there …"
Antonio was all too happy to oblige by brushing against it over and over. He moaned himself, feeling Lovino tighten lightly every time he hit the spot.
"Mmm … Lovi … you feel so good … so fucking good …"
Lovino blushed, not used to hearing Antonio say swear words. He let out a breathy moan when Antonio grabbed his member and began stroking in rhythm.
A frown overcame Lovino's face and he felt a pressure building up inside of him, "Stop! Stop! I don't … ah! AH! Antonio!" Lovino felt the pressure explode. He pulled Antonio down to him and sunk his teeth into the soft flesh of Antonio's neck. The Italian's head was swimming in the clouds and he breathed heavily, hearing a loud cry come from Antonio as the man thrust into Lovino a final time before releasing his own seed. Lovino let go and licked the blood from his lips, frowning at the bruised and bloodied bite left behind. He hoped Antonio didn't mind it ...
Antonio pulled out of his lover and laid down beside him, "Well?"
Lovino slowly, a dazedly, turned his head to look at Antonio. A smiled was etched into his face, "We … we mated … didn't we?"
The Spaniard chuckled softly and nodded, pressing a kiss into Lovino's forehead, "Yeah, we did~ did you enjoy it?"
With a yawn, Lovino nodded his head, "It wasn't terrible …" Antonio laughed and kissed Lovino again, "I'm glad you liked it~"
Oh La La~ Lovi and Antonio mated~
About the bite thing, male cats bite the mates to hold on and even though Lovino was bottom, he's still a male with feline instincts~
also ... male cats don't go into heat, but I think I worked well enough around that, si?
