Chapter 7

Similar thoughts, similar moods. It was a beautiful morning. The jungle hummed and buzzed with life. Small Hummingbirds were flying around, dipping their long beaks into the calyxes to feast on the sweet nectar.

Taiga had no glimpse for their beauty left. He stomped with an angry face forward, not looking right nor left. On his back the basket of fish was swaying dangerously back and forth.

Not far behind him walked Daiki with a similar expression.

The argument happened early in the morning. The redhead had demanded, that they stayed longer in the cavern, to let the wound heal more. Daiki wanted to get moving because his clan awaited his return. After lot of screaming and almost a fist fight, they were now back where they left off, before the panther attack.

Taiga in front, Daiki after him with the hotheads spear clutched in his fist.

How he hated it. He didn't wanted to resort to violence, but the stupid Kagami guy left him no other choice.

'Yeah, right!'

Daiki sighed. There was another choice, but he couldn't bring himself to let the red-haired man go. And now he had it. Silent treatment.

They were already walking since four and a half hours and the redhead hadn't spoken one word with him. Nothing worked. Not his sorry excuses, his attempt to be friendly and not even his mocking attitude. He was at his wits end.

Normally the hothead would have been exploded by now. But he walked steadily in front of him, not once looking back, like a bucky ox.

If Daiki wouldn't pay attention and tell him where he should go in time, the pighead would probably roll hotfoot through the middle of the forest.

After another thirty minutes of silentness he had enough.

"Oi, stop. We take a break here." Daiki called out and dropped himself on a fallen tree trunk.

He looked for the other male and grunted angrily, as he saw that he wasn't coming back. Instead the redhead had sat down where he stood and showed him his back. "Tsk. Throw me at least something to eat over, if you don't want to sit with me. Why can't you stop behaving like a mother hen around me? I said, I'm fine. Goddammit. You have no need to worry!"

"If you would stop behaving like the biggest child in history and do as I said, I wouldn't need to go out of my way. I only wanted to stay one day longer, but noooooo Mr. It's-only-a-scratch, knows everything better. Don't think, I will nurse you back to life again if your fever returns.", the redhead screamed back with rage and instantly some edible roots came flying, hitting the bluenette right in the face.

"Ouch! What the hell is up with you? Stupid shithead! First you demand I rest, because I'm injured and now you throw things at me?" Now even the tanned man couldn't stand it anymore.

Daiki grabbed one of the white roots and stormed over to the Kagami's guy, who was standing with clenched fists and blazing red eyes, shooting daggers at him.

He stabbed the tip of the food hard at the redheads chest. "Stop provoking me all the time! You …" But his sentence was interrupted by a hand slapping away his own.

"Me provoking you? Don't make me laugh! Who was the one pointing my spear at me? And who is the one mocking me all the time? I should have left you there to die!"

After the last words were spoken the hothead clapped his hand over his mouth and his eyes grew wide. Taiga instantly felt sorry. He hadn't wanted to say that. "I …"

"Tsk. Fine! I will make sure to die next time.", the blue-haired male snarled at him and spun on his heels, so that the redhead wouldn't see the frustration what creeped up in his eyes.

That had hurt. Daiki massaged his chest right over his heart and stomped back to his belongings. "Get your stupid ass moving, we go!", he snapped and waited for a comeback. But Taiga only fetched up the basket, nodded and started to walk away.

The day grew longer and longer. The continued silence was lasting heavy on both men. When the sun set deep over the horizon, Daiki decided to make a little detour.

Very close was a waterfall which ended in a natural basin. He felt sticky. His back hurt like hell and they needed water anyway.

Taiga followed his order without a complaint and upon arriving, he instantly started to make a fire.

This time he didn't go away to eat somewhere else and after they finished their simple meal, he got up, murmuring that he needed to step out for a bit.

Daiki only looked after him as the redhead went into the bushes. Forgotten was that he maybe would run away.

"Time for a bath.", he sighed, stood up and stretched, before he discharged his loincloth.

A shiver ran through him as he dipped his foot into the fresh but chilly water. "Urg, fuck it's cold." He straightened up, face full of determination and walked further in. When the water spilled over his private parts, he let himself sink down and began to swim to the middle of the small lake.

Taiga was tormenting himself there while. He felt so sorry over what he said in his anger and couldn't quite come up with a solution. He had wanted to instantly apologies, but the tanned man hadn't given him a chance. Instead they had kept quiet all day, what by now tore at his nerves.

Still deep in his thoughts, what didn't even once scratched the possibility of running away, he stepped out of the greenery and let his eyes wander over to the bonfire. Daiki was not there. Taiga looked around, his eyes searching for the other male.

A splashing sound let him snap up his eyes over the clear dark lake.

Midnight-blue, wet hair broke the calm water surface and tanned velvet skin emerged from it. The bluenette hadn't noticed the redhead and waded over to the little waterfall. He stepped under it, but so that the water didn't hit his wound and leaned his head backwards with closed eyes.

Taiga's eyes formally drank in the sight of the gorgeous male. He let them roam over every inch he could grasp, making his breath stop for a second. Than they landed on the three red lacerations, which followed over the bluenettes right shoulder blade down to the middle of his back and the sunkissed mans throat tightened uncomfortably.

He need a bath himself, but that was only an excuse, as he put down his loincloth and waded through the water.

Daiki had noticed the redhead by now, but didn't turn around. His body meanwhile felt cold and he was about to get out, but froze when he felt soft fingertips slightly brush over his back.

He held his breath and waited. The noise from the waterfall almost drained out every sound, but he heard the grief colored whisper anyway.

"I'm sorry."

Taiga stood behind the bluenette and stared with sorrowful eyes at the testimony, that the taller man had saved his life. His fingers moved unconsciously over the tanned back, never getting near the scratch wounds.

His digits never left the cold skin. Even as the tanned male turned around after a while, they still ghosted over the strong shoulder to his broad chest.

Taiga didn't had the guts to look up. His gaze was fixed on his own hand. There was so much to apologise but the words stuck in his throat.

He felt smoldering dark eyes on him and shivered slightly, as his body refused to pull his hand from the taller mans skin.

It felt simply too good to touch him and as Taiga noticed the stiff nipple beside his thumb, he unconsciously drew a slow circle around it.

Daiki let out a small groan and reached up to cup the redheads face with on hand, pulling it up.

Midnight-blue meet fiery-red and both men felt like drowning in the others burning gaze.

Taiga's body heated up despite the cold water. And when the large hand moved to the back of his head and caressed his sensitive skin, a gasp escaped his slightly open mouth and his eyelids dropped involuntarily.

Suddenly, he was pulled forward and hot soft lips crashed against his. His lids closed completely and he moaned into the kiss, as he arched his back and his chest pressed smugly against cool dark skin.

Daiki breathed heavily, as he broke the kiss and held Taiga away by clutching his red strands, looking for permission in the deep red clouded eyes of the other.

When he felt no resistance, he took advantage of the slightly open lips and slipped his tongue inside. He slowly licked over the redheads teeth, before he pried even deeper.

Strong hands clutched at his shoulders as he eventually tangled their tongues together. His tanned arm moved on his own and pulled the sunkissed man even closer to his heated body.

Taiga felt like his backbone was melting. His legs buckled and his arms found their way around the larger males neck, putting his fingers into soft blue locks, dangling with the long braids. Without his awareness, he laid his head a bit to the side to deepen the kiss.

Desire seethed inside him and shot straight to his lower regions, as callused fingers grabbed his buttocks and squeezed them hard.

He pulled his mouth away and groaned. His body arched up into the other males, his throat bare to burning blue eyes.

Daiki couldn't resist and put his mouth over the exposed throat. His tongue licked the salty skin and felt how the redheads adam's apple bobbed up at the feeling and another moan escaped his rosy lips.

His hands wandered up over the smooth skin and he grabbed with one hand into the tousled red hair, bowing his head further back. He hummed in approvement and let his teeth scrape over the vulnerable flesh at the crook to the neck, making the the red-haired man shiver in his arms. Sucking the skin deep into his mouth, he bit down and levered his tongue over it to soothe the sting away when the redhead jolted up on the pain.

Daiki wanted to mark him. Over and over again. This sudden desire was new to him and he gave in, leaving love bites all over the shuddering shoulder under his mouth.

His other hand, what wasn't dangled in the red hair, roamed around Taiga's back. Pressed him closer, left burning streams wherever he touched. When he found one round buttock again, he squeezed hard once more and bucked his hips forward.

"Daiki …"

Taiga's voice broke from his throat filled with desire but also protest. He was about to push the tanned male away, ashamed as he felt the others aroused flesh rubbing against his own. But his remonstrance was preyed from his lips with a hot seething mouth. Daiki's rough tongue shot into his wet cavern, danced around his and sharp teeth sunk into his lower lip.

"Say it again.", a hoarse breath ghosted over Taiga's lips. "My name … again."

"Hn … Daiki … we shouldn't …", but his words were denied by the taller man's mouth.

His head was swimming in hazy bliss, as he eventually got air back into his lungs. A tug on his hand, let him open his cloudy eyes and what he saw in the burning orbs of the tanned man send flashes of lust down his spine.

Taiga wanted to run, get out of the water and hide under one of the blankets. This was completely foreign to him. Never had anyone looked at him like this. But he knew what it meant. Had seen it in the eyes of his friends, when they watched the girls they liked.

Desire.

And it startled the butterflies in his stomach again, flying away with his reasons. And as oblivious as he was, he never knew that his own red eyes were burning with the same hot flame, inviting the bluenette to do more.

As another kiss landed on his, ready to deny, lips and a soothing, "Shh." was purred against his ear, he moved forward and followed the Aomine's guy through under the waterfall. His eyes couldn't look fast enough around to notice the natural beauty, which was lit up a bit by the nearby fire, because he was instantly pressed against cold auburn colored stone and his mouth was once more plundered by Daiki's experienced rough tongue.

He gasped as lean tanned fingers found his nipples and twisted them ever so slightly, before pinching them hard, making him groan into the other males mouth.

Leaving him breathless, the hot tongue followed down over his chin to his neck, over his collarbone, until it reached one of his stiffened nubs and licked urgent around it. Taiga shivered and clutched at the deep-blue hair, not certain if he wanted to pull the head away or press him closer.

His body took the decision from him, as teeth pulled at his hard teat and a damp mouth was slathered over it, sucking hard. His back arched away from the cold stone on its own, pressing his chest harder against the hot mouth on his body.

Taiga's eyes closed and he bit his lips while he shook his head in denial. It shouldn't feel that good. It shouldn't turn him on, what the Aomine's guy was doing to him. But he couldn't fathom the strength to pull away.

And then his body stiffened and a loud moan was ripped from his open mouth.

Fingertips drove over his pulsing flesh up to his tip, before a strong callused hand wrapped around it. A thumb circled lightly around his crown, settled right over his slit and pressed down.

"Nnnhhg … no …" Taiga panted, stretched his body and his head fell back to his neck. Blood was rushing through his veins and bundling in his throbbing cock. Embarrassed, he tried to stop his mewling, but failed miserably. The steamy assault on his body too overwhelming for him to deny it.

"That doesn't look like a no to me.", low velvet voice purred into his ear, hot tongue licking his shell, teeth tugging at his earlobe.

Taiga's body bucked up against Daiki's, shivered breathes came out of the redheads mouth, as the tanned man begun to bump the hot flesh in his fist.

"Ah … ha … no … mnn …" His hands clutched at strong firm shoulders as he leaned back and curled his upper body forward, head hanging low with open mouth and closed eyes.

White spots were dancing behind his eyelids, as the grip on his cock grew stronger and the movement more frantic. Cold water splashed up to his testicles, but it didn't cool him down, rather made him hotter with every icing touch.

"Taiga … do me too." Daiki's voice was strained with need and the redhead, completely out of his normal behaviour, compelled and loosened one of his hands from the strong shoulders. His eyes opened and watched the taller man, as he let his hand roam over the broad chest down, scrapped his nail over on hard nipple and moved further, drawing his fingertips over rippled abs.

A low chuckle escaped Daiki's throat. "You like teasing me in this situation, kitty?" His midnight-blue eyes flashed with a burning need. "But I'm not up for it now."

His available hand clutched Taiga's wandering fingers and brought them to his rigid pulsing shaft. "Fuck my dick with your hand, Taiga.", he murmured sultry into the redheads ear and tugged hard at the redheads prick.

"Ah …" Taiga closed his fist around Daiki's flesh and began to do as he was told. This feeling was foreign to him and at the same time not, since he, like every other man, had touched himself like that before. He licked over his abused lips and closed his eyes again.

Feeling a hard throbbing vein under his fingers, sent him closer to his own release. He never knew being touched like that by someone else could feel this good. He hazily thought that it couldn't get better, until he felt his tip move against the tanned males burning hot rod.

"Shit ….. ah … mng …"

"You like that?", he was pulled against the hot flesh again and moaned out, only to whimper at the sudden loss of the the strong grip on his leaking dick.

"So needy." Daiki mused out with light mirth in his voice, grabbed the redheads waist and slammed it to his own. Their dicks rubbed together and Taiga loosened his fist around Daiki's, to feel his full length.

His breath came labored, as he leaned his forehead against the heated skin in front of him. But not for long. A wicked hand grabbed his own and brought it back to their throbbing cocks.

Curling Taiga's and his own fingers around their rigid flesh, rubbing them against each other, Daiki tugged his other hand again into the red strands and bend Taigas head back to slanther his mouth down, sucking the little whimpers and moans from the redheads lips.

Guided by Daiki's strong hand, Taiga bumped their dicks up and down. Heat was pooling in his lower regions and his knees almost gave out. He gasp and couldn't hold back any longer, as a thumb pressed hard down on his leaking slit.

"Daiki … ah!", the redhead moaned loud into the bluenettes ear and came in violent gushes over both their hands and abdomen.

Upon hearing his name in such a sultry manner and seeing, how the redhead came apart under his hands, orgasm raged through Daiki and with two more hard strokes to his pulsing dick, his spunk joined Taiga's on their bodies.

Both breathed heavy and leaned against each other as they rode out the aftermath of their climax.

But all too soon Taiga came back to reality, when the cold water made him shiver. He blushed hard, but this time not out of desire but embarrassment. He pushed away from the tanned male and turned his head to hide his facial expression.

He murmured some words, which were swallowed by the waterfall and headed beyond it to get back to the campfire.

A bit thrown off my the reaction of the redhead, Daiki leaned against the cold auburn colored stone and shook his head. But soon a grin creeped up on his lips.

"He can be kind of cute, huh?", he said to himself and instantly facepalmed at his own words. He never found anything cute, not even toddlers. So why did he thought that, about a man almost as tall as himself, even a bit broader builded, with a temper who rose in the blink of an eye? But maybe it was exactly that. The explosive nature of the hothead. He smirked again and also stepped out under the splashing water.

He was determined to make the redhead his. The way to that wouldn't be easy, but Daiki always enjoyed a good challenge. The first step was already done. Thinking about his time limit, since they were only a few days away from his tribe now, he already builded a plan in his head.

Upon reaching the camp, the bluenette quirked a questioning eyebrow and almost laughed out loud.

Taiga was rolled into one of the fur blankets, only his feet and hair looked out. And of course, as Daiki noticed, as far away from his own sleeping place as possible but still near the fire.

He snorted and noted that the redhead twitched slightly when the sound reached his ears. "Aww~ no cuddling today? That's sad. I liked it last time." Daiki had leaned down and spoke the mocking words right beside Taiga's face, intentionally dropping his voice to a deep sexy tone with his last words.

"Shut up!", came the heated but muffled voice and the bluenette could swear, if he could see the guys face now it would be red like a pomegranate.

"Fine, fine. Watch out that the bugs don't bite your sexy butt." He strolled over to his own blanket, got himself comfortable and after watching the squirming 'Taiga role' opposite him for a while, he fell asleep with an amused smile on his face.
