Even though both Yato and Yukine would rather spent the whole day just cuddling together while listening to music, it was not really an option. They had to work. Lately Yato has stopped refusing when people offered him more money then the five yen coin he asked for. He didn't really care about the money but he had to pay the rent. He didn't want to spent the night outdoors because of Yukine and sleeping over at other people's houses also didn't feel quite right, that's why they have rented this small appartement.
It was just two rooms, one with beds that had been pushed together since Yukine couldn't fall asleep if he didn't feel Yato lying next to him, and the other one was kitchen. It was not much but they loved the place. It was a while since they had had something they could call home.
Yato's mobile phone was ringing, he picked up the phone and heard a man's voice: ''Hello? I saw this number written on the newspaper, it said you provide a variety of services. Do you also do cleaning?''
The god silently sighed. ''Yes, we do. Would you like us to come over?''
''Yeah, it's starting to reek pretty bad. The sooner you come, the better.'' said the man and gave Yato his adress.
Cleaning wasn't really Yato's favourite activity but he considered himself to be lucky to get any kind of job.
''Yukine, I have to go to work. You can stay here though, it's just cleaning, I can do that alone.'' explained Yato.
''I will help you.'' said young regalia and put on his jacket.
As they walked, Yato grabbed blond's hand. It was not the first time and they had done much more serious things than just holding hands but Yukine still blushed. The god loved this about him.
People passing by didn't even notice them. If they were living humans, they would have surely caught unwished attention but like this, it was as if they were invisible. Living humans were blind, they didn't see demons and how there is another world, just beyond the edge of this one, they were completely ignorant of that world's existence. Yukine thought that in certain way, it gave them shelter from the reality they couldn't bare. From the reality he had to accept and learn to exist in, even though it was so hard. He was still scared of losing track of what's real and what's not, he didn't know who he had been and only his god's hand touching his own gave him sense of who he was.
They found that man's house. Yato ringed and somebody opened the door. It was a midle-aged man, in old wrinkled shirt and grey pants. He was about the same height as Yato but a little plump. The house smelled really bad, it was something like rotting meat and mustiness.
The man let them in and introduced himself as Takeda.
''It's just the kitchen,'' said Takeda and waved his hand in the direction of kitchen. Then he begun discussing payment details with Yato and Yukine went to take a look at what they were supposed to clean.
As he was getting closer to the kitchen the stench was becoming stronger. It was almost nauseating. Nevertheless, he opened the kitchen's door.
What he saw there was like from some horror movie. There was blood everywhere. On the floor there were two bodies, one of them belonged to woman and the other one was little girl's. Their skulls were crushed and you could see the rotting meat and worms in it. Flies were all around and their buzzing seemed almost sinister.
The sight made Yukine completely paralyzed and he couldn't look away. Yato immediately noticed something was wrong through their connection. He took the few steps to cover the distance between him and the boy and saw what he saw. He quickly covered the blond's eyes with his hand and let him further from kitchen.
''I know, it's disgusting, right? My wife and daugter made such a mess.'' said the man and smiled.
''Yukine, I want you to wait outside. I will take care of this myself.'' said the god and the boy was quick to obey.
''You are right, it's not a job for children.'' said Takeda.
''Those people in the kitchen were your family? You did that to them?'' asked Yato.
''They had been disturbing me when I was working, talking and laughing all the time. They are much quiter now,'' said Takeda and chuckled, ''and then they started to stink, just can't leave me alone, I guess. But you said you will take care of it, right? Please take care of it.''
''Your wish has been had been heard loud and clear,'' said the god and broke Takeda's neck.
Yukine heard some kind of crack and soon Yato went out of the house. ''Let's go. We are finished.'' said the god.
During their way home, they weren't talking. The blond boy walked a few steps behind the god. He was still shocked and such a simple thing as walking needed his full attention. He stumbled over a curb but was lucky not to fall. He was trying not to think about what he had seen in that house and concentrate solely on following Yato. He tried to take Yato's hand but the god didn't let him.
''Don't touch me. Not now.'' said Yato. He didn't want to touch his beloved after touching that man. He was worried it would somehow dirty the boy. Yato had no idea what was going through the blond's head but he was sure about one thing, he will have to explain that he is supposed to do more then just look for lost kittens. There is a possibility that the boy will run away when he finds out. He just sighed.
When they came home, Yato disappeared into the bathroom to wash himself. He wanted to wash of the smell of that house, not that he could really smell it but he could feel it. Hot water poured over his body and made him relax. He was finally calm enough to speak with his lover.
Yukine was sitting on the floor. Those words Yato had said to him were playing in his head on repeat. Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me. It was maddening. He couldn't hold back the tears. Sometimes, when you are sad, crying can make you feel better but that wasn't true for Yukine. He felt worse. It was like if all that he had done in a past few days was crying. What he saw in that house was terrible but he was sure that he can get over it with Yato. If only his god allowed him to stay by his side.
The door of the bathroom opened and Yato went out wearing just a towel around his hips, there was not a single scratch or a scar on his skin and the way he carried himself was graceful. When you looked at him long enough, you could tell that he wasn't just a human, he was simply to perfect to be one. That perfect being sat on the chair and watched the crying boy. He thought that even his tears were beautiful.
''My little one, I need to tell you a few things.'' said the god. He knew that it was already too much for the boy today but still, he needed him to understand. He knew everything about the boy but the boy knew nothing and that wasn't fair. ''Do you want to know what happened in that house?'' he asked.
Yukine wasn't sure if he wanted to know that. He would be happier if he could just erase that memory, he was sure that he will never be able to do that. So he didn't reply, just stared into god's eyes.
''I killed him.'' said the god and made a little pause, ''I killed him with my own hands. It was devine punishment.''
''You killed a human?'' whispered the boy, he suspected that Yato will not let that man run away but never killing him.
''Yes, I did. It was not a first human I killed, don't ask me how many, I never counted them. My true duty as a god is to punish those who sin. It's not a path I choosed but I have to walk it even if it makes me lose you. Do you understand what I am saying?'' asked the god.
''I want to stay with you Yato. I want to go wherever you go. Can I?'' asked the boy and there was no doubt that he was serious about this.
''Aren't you scared of me?''
''No, I love you.'' whispered the boy and there was so much emotion and sadness in those simple words.
''I know. But I also know that you are scared and confused, all the emotions you feel are tranfered to me. It's actually very frustrating. You can ask me anything you want, I will do my best to explain it to you.'' said the god.
''You told me not to touch you.'' explained Yukine and because of nervosity couldn't even look into Yato's eyes.
''I see. Come here.'' ordered the god and when the blond came closer, Yato pulled him onto his lap. Yukine kissed him, it was a butterfly kiss, chaste and careful. He was happy, the person he loved to the point of obssesion was going to stay together with him. He smiled, he didn't care if his master killed that man. After all, the god is always righteous.
Yato carried him to the bed and started kissing him deeply, skilfully moving his tongue. He undone buttons on his shirt and it slid off his shoulders. The god moved his mouth to his lover's now bare chest while taking care of his pants. He started playing with Yukine's nipples. Soon, Yukine was there lying on the bed, flushed, he tried to muffle his moans by covering his mouth with hand. That annoyed the dark haired god a little, he liked to hear his lover's moans. He moved away to tell him not to do that and the same time his mobile started ringing.
Yukine sat up, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed, he wanted to go and bring Yato's phone but he was grabbed by the shoulder and slammed hard back onto the mattress.
''But what about the phone?'' protested the boy which only annoyed Yato more. He was trying hard to control himself. He kissed the blond boy and it was agressive and dominating. He loved Yukine and though about him almost all the time, often it was with worry or passion, but sometimes it was naughty, then there were times when it was dirty or even sadistic. And this was one of those times. Of course he would never really hurt the boy.
''I was going to make love to you, but maybe I should just fuck you?'' asked the god but not really expecting any reply. Then he picked up the shirt that was lying close and used it to tie Yukine's hands above his head to the bed. Blond's eyes widened in surprises and he realized he will not be able to leave until Yato will let him. It was just two of them, everything else dissapeared.
Yato kissed the blond boy fiercely, it was sensual, intimate, hot, but he didn't just kiss he bit too. He even made the boy's lower lip bleed a little and then he licked off the blood. Despite the roughness of the kiss, he gently touched his face. The boy gasped as Yato broke away from his mouth and started to kiss his collarbones. He moaned softly when Yato starting to suck, he knew that the god liked to leave marks on his body, visible proves of his ownership. At the same time, one of Yato's hands was exploring the boy's chest and stomach, caressing it, feeling his ribs under the soft smooth flesh, sometimes using his nails and making the boy moan louder. Fingers of his other hand were demanding acces into Yukine's mouth and they were allowed it. When they were wet enough, Yato started fingering him.
At first it was just one finger, pushing slowly in and pulling out, then instead moving in circular moves. Then he added second finger.
''Y-yato... ''
Smile played on Yato's lips when he heard his pretty pet scream his name. Oh, his sweet, sweet Yukine was squirming and writhing beneath him, moaning, panting. The god wanted to touch and taste every inch of him, memorize every curve of his slender body. Yukine felt his master's hands and lips everywhere, he was feeling light headed. Those fingers, sliding in and out if him moved so torturously slow.
''Mmmh, master... p-please!'' pleaded the boy with needy expression. Yato begun to move his fingers a just a little bit faster.
''Mo-oree, m-more...!'' screamed Yukine, but just as he was on the verge of orgasm, Yato's fingers dissapeared from inside of him and were wraped arouned the base of his erection.
''No, no, not yet, be more patient.'' whispered the god and placed a few butterfly kisses on his ear. ''This is going to be much more fun.'' he added and licked the ear.
