Chapter 16: Ixora
The Ixora flower symbolizes passion, sexuality and is also known as the 'Burning Love' or "Flame of the Woods"
Notes: Hello, my SubKam loves, thank you for waiting and reading my story thus far. I've had a lot of ideas for the next chapter/chapters. Originally intended to be made into one long, smut, and emotion-filled chapter. I found these scenes/moments could stand alone for a chapter, taking place the morning after Kamui's birthday. Content here is mature, not yet love-making but very close with a similar passion. The next chapter will be up shortly/within the next few days of editing. ^_^ So it will be here shortly with some light angst/longing etc.
's rating policy is confusing. I've seen 18+ on here before but now it's only M not MA. So to be safe this is a very cut-edited chapter. Please check out the full story on my a03.
~Morning After ~
Warmth and beauty graciously overtook the room. The sun hadn't crept up, it was more like an eruption. Harsh yet beautiful rays of sunlight were growing stronger at the summer sunrise.
But… that hadn't bothered the couple, tangled up in each other's arms. Long legs were beautifully intertwined to the point where one couldn't pinpoint where one started and the other would end. Subaru's arms were snug around Kamui with an incredibly protective hold, as always. He wouldn't allow anything in the waking or dreaming realm to tear them apart.
The younger raven-haired male snuggled his messy head of hair into his lover's chest. With no barriers this time, Kamui would only linger more.
Subaru awoke to the feeling of gentle elegant fingers brushing along his skin. His heart squeezes tight. Kamui cuddles up and caresses him, even in his sleep.
'My Kamui…' Subaru was determined to keep this happiness forever. No matter what was needed. Even if they were seemingly at peace now, there was a chance between fate, restless spirits, and their own family histories that conflicts would arise.
If it meant having to resort to using his powers at the Sakurazukamori to ensure Kamui's happiness, then he would…
Hurriedly, Subaru shakes his head, shivering at the thought. Hopefully, it won't come to that. He'd do everything he could to keep from going that far. He'd seen enough deaths as is.
Now, for the first time in nearly ten years, he wanted to focus on life. Subaru lightly snorts at the bittersweet feeling. He'd spent so long only thinking of death, dying at the hands of his loved one. But now…
Subaru gingerly combed his fingers through the silky raven locks. He smoothed them down as always. Soft laughter escapes when Kamui's nose scrunches up. Beautiful violet-blue gems wince from the light.
Now was a time of love...a time to caress, kiss, and hold one another.
Before those long, dark lashes attempted to open, Kamui, half asleep, pulled up on his blanket, covering his head. A soft groan escapes underneath. Kamui snuggles close, keeping his face buried further into his lover's warmth.
After a few moments of tiredly fumbling with the comforter, the younger male settles. Contently, Kamui's lips brush, letting out small little sighs. He mumbles out a string of words, incomprehensible, but cheerful enough.
"Mnnnn…." Kamui groans, continuing to lower himself further under the covers. Subaru softly laughs, at least for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Kamui readjusts his position to rest between his lover's chest and stomach. Subaru swallows, hard. The protective man's sensitive skin is loved up by his own sleeping beauty. The press of plush lips upon tender skin brings the older male to further realization. This marks the first night they've ever slept like this. Kamui's silky, soft skin felt like nothing else.
Elegant fingers brush along the older man's chest, curling in, expecting to grasp at soft clothing. Subaru had to will down his blush, vividly recalling what those fingers felt like around his sex.
Kamui turns in his little blanket cocoon, leaving wrinkles in the sheets around him. Gentle hands pet his hair through the covers.
"Oh, God…" Subaru gulps, feeling those incredibly soft legs shifting between his own. Kamui's sleepy little murmurs, somehow only make the moment more intimate. The younger lover's sleeping form has no trouble, moving and mewling in such an alluring manner.
Subaru is met with a challenge and closes his dual-toned eyes firmly. He concentrates on absolutely everything but how perfect and sensual Kamui had been last night.
To no avail... The feeling of velvety thighs wrapped around his erection was just too much. He was certain he could come undone from the thought alone.
Kamui had been incredibly bold, forward, and perfect to his lover's eyes. Kamui had been entirely vulnerable and open. The arguably more love-shy male took a much-needed initiative to move them forward. The fact that Kamui recovered from his very vocal orgasm, only to come right back and take care of Subaru was everything.
'And...if that's what your legs feel like…' Subaru did his best to will the thought away. He bit down hard on his cheek, suppressing a pained moan. Now it seemed he'd be challenged willingly down a growing hardness, between his legs.
'What will it be like inside you?' Subaru ponders, diving under the covers to kiss Kamui's forehead. He flusters realizing just what he was imagining.
'Likely… heaven on earth.' Somehow, they would be brought closer, feeling each other and finally becoming one. It already felt euphoric now, knowing they've crossed the path to lovers.
"Mnn...way too bright," Kamui's half-asleep voice grumbles against his protector's bare skin.
"You're too cute sometimes," Subaru whispered as softly as possible. The back of his hand turned to caress the ivory cheeks upon his chest.
The sleepy boy only leans in, allowing his touch. Delicate cheekbones brush against impossible tender hands. A little sigh escapes from plush pink lips, which begin to press together. His nose and lips seem to crinkle in sync with whatever dream filled his lover's mind.
'More like all the time.' Subaru corrects his earlier judgment, smiling at the way his love nuzzles within his hand. Kamui stays asleep, not stirring. Which is good. His all too seductive lover needed to rest well when he could.
Subaru well… he couldn't complain about having a lazy morning, in bed with the person who made him fall so hard. Though the knowledge of what they did together was making it hard to fall back asleep. But Kamui feels warm and fits perfectly in his arms, so lying here is more than enough.
"My angel," Subaru fawns over his love, tangling his fingers all through the soft locks of raven-black. How in the world he managed to win over such a beautiful heart, he didn't know… Subaru craved more intimacy, sliding further beneath the blankets.
Their soft comforter was pulled up over their baked forms, acting as a shield from the harsh sunlight. One hand caressing Kamui's cheek trailed down to lovingly brush up and down the slender male's sides. Whilst Subaru's free hand fondly, brushed over the hair on the back of his lover's neck.
The delicate curl over Kamui's lips, made his boyfriend melt. His cheeks were aching to the point where he felt foolish. Hopeless….
Honestly, he couldn't remember how long it had been, if ever since he truly smiled this much. His heart was already so full, and the knowledge of his scent literally all over Kamui drove him into overdrive.
'We really are becoming even closer...as lovers.' Subaru blissfully finds this thought. Well, the word 'lover' certainly felt right for a while. Since getting together, they had all but the more physical aspects down. Kamui making it clear, he wanted him… that was…
Never once had he ever imagined he'd let another sway his heart after Seishirou had. Never had he dreamed he could feel a love far purer, yet with every bit as much power, if not moreso. Kamui would be the first who brought him to this sense of euphoria.
The love had vast differences… he had wished he could stop loving Seishirou for nearly a decade. He hated himself for loving his sister's killer, for loving the antithesis of what the Sumeragi clan had stood for. It was a love he had to hide, keep to himself, until the day he entered Kamui's consciousness.
Falling for Kamui, was just as out of his control. The intensity felt was incredible, breathtaking, dangerous, yet somehow...warm. Now, it was hard to imagine himself, without the feelings he held for Kamui. Life seemed incomplete otherwise… He didn't want to fight this love for anything in the world.
"Mhmm... Morning-" Kamui's mouth stretched out wide, yawning not unlike that of a lion. His airy words brushed over the exposed skin of his love's neck. The cute sleepy voice stole Subaru from his wandering mind.
"Good morning, Kamui," Subaru happily returned the greeting. He began planting little kisses all over Kamui's cheeks. The latter's happy sighs and hums made it all the more addictive.
Those beautiful violet-blue eyes were still bleary and blinking. They shimmered elegantly, fully taking in their incredibly gorgeous lover. Kamui flushed, cheeks painting an elegant bright pink.
"Sleep well, my love?" Subaru inquires tenderly, delicately lowering the blankets so their heads are back up to the surface.
Kamui let an embarrassing little squeak at his pet name. He instinctively moves to clutch at his boyfriend's nightshirt but….
"I-" There is nothing there. And sure it wasn't the first time Kamui had cuddled up to his love's exposed chest. But… then he shifted his leg just a bit, from between his lover's longer ones, and oh… right they were very much exploring that part of their relationship.
Something clicked as he hurriedly ducked himself under the covers once more and hid his face between soft blankets and his boyfriend's warm chest. He's surrounded by welcoming arms and a deep, warm laugh that makes his knees buckle, stomach do acrobatics, and legs turn to mush.
"Kamui?" Subaru calls, half of his tone conveys the amusement he feels at his love's words. While another half has a bit of apprehension. They hadn't gone as far as to do rather intimate acts that would cause pain or uncomfortably in his angel.
With every bit of his control and desire, he wouldn't go forward with anything bringing his precious love, pain.
"Kamui, Are you… alright?" There's guilt, and a sense of anguish as Subaru asks the question. The thought of not being as mutually enjoyable for Kamui or him having second thoughts… caused an ache he wasn't sure he'd know how to deal with… that experience has been nothing but euphoria for… "Was everything alright… from… last night?"
"Oh, yes….I'm…" The worry laced, and shaky words, makes Kamui speak up. "Yes, I-it's not because of that," Kamui chirps, rather quickly, vaguely. Sensing his lover's apprehensions. He lifts his head again, coming to the surface, the mess of black hair falls over their silky whits pillows.
"I… loved that," Kamui admitted, gone a little meek and shy, but he looked boldly into his lover's eyes. He knew he was burning up but in the best way.
"I love you," Kamui ensures, lowering his lips to press tender kisses along his lover's neck, up until their lips meet. "I love being close with you…. Just like this…" He would push through embarrassment any day if it meant ensuring his tender-hearted lover knew the feeling was very much desired.
"I'm just… a little… embarrassed… I mean I was well you know…"
'Coming faster and harder than I had in my entire life. Crying out louder I'd ever care to admit to… Becoming a writhing mess in the sheets for you…' Kamui knew the list could go on and on from that point.
"I was…. A bit impatient…" The heat rose higher and higher on Kamui's features. He was searing red from ear to ear. "For you to... T-touch me…"
"I'm glad you were," Subaru assures, quickly, tightening his embrace. With an ethereal smile. He admits. "I've dreamt of doing that with you for so long."
"You?" Kamui's eyes widened at the admission. Heart thundering and heat piling in his stomach he grumbled a series of words. "I've dreamt of you too…" Kamui confesses, averting his eyes. He attempts to hide his face under the covers or in a pillow...but it's too late. A hand curls under his chin and his lips are snatched up at the sweet little admission.
"Mmm…" Kamui hums into the kiss, letting his boyfriend taste the sweetness in his smile. Pleased little mewls and sighs escape as hands come to rest at the back of his neck and the side of his hip bone. Subaru rolls further to rest, on his side, careful to not let other reactive parts of himself get too intimate with his beloved. He knew the feeling of his Kamui's angel-soft legs all too well, knew he'd lose it embarrassingly fast here and now.
Kamui kissed back with passion. He licked eagerly, along the seam of his love's lips. His instinct was to wrap his arms and (as of lately) legs around his taller lover. But he had a good idea… and understood intimately why that might make things escalate quite a bit… but would it be so bad if they did?
'I still feel it…' Kamui's mind reflected, his legs, stomach, and chest were wiped off neatly. Subaru was quite considerate with cleaning, but well… there was still the feeling of his lover's essence all over, especially coating between his inner thighs.
"Subaru…" Kamui moans, struggling to match the influx of passion. A passion that kept pulling him all too explorative, and dominant tongue traces every crevice of his mouth drove him senseless. Subaru was slowly but surely becoming more comfortable with letting go… during their bedroom activities.
Kamui moans vivaciously, sounds swallowed by his love's mouth. He feels all too needy, hot, and sensual lips driving him mad. Every millisecond he feels his older lover pull away, to kiss at a newer, deeper angle, feels too long. Kamui's plush pink lips follow after with a strong sense of need. His tender lover never leaves his lips alone for long. An appreciative moan is swallowed up, as Subaru pulls them into a kiss at a particular;y sensual angle.
Kamui keeps his hand on his lover's shoulder blade. Fingers from his other hand graze upon the back of Subaru's neck, the silky black tresses tickle as they brush over delicate fingertips. Of course, Kamui returned the feeling, puckering his lips out, parting them eagerly, pressing hard, deep and fast against his lover's thin but perfectly tender lips.
"Mmn… Kamui," Subaru breath comes out, happily and warmly against sensitive lips. His fingers dig into the skin at Kamui's hips, making the sensitive young man cry out helplessly.
"Ahnn~" Kamui had long come to accept his body would simply be hypersensitive to each and every touch from his lover. Feeling every bit of his lover against him, left Kamui reeling in desire. As they finally touched each other…. And came undone, wonderfully bare to one another.
Some remains of his love's cum brushed right between his parting legs. Kamui only blushed, mainly because... no it wasn't a bad feeling at all. Not something he could say he minded, especially recalling making his boyfriend react so wildly.
Inexperienced, Kamui worried last night might not go as well as it did. He was running purely on hormones, fantasies, BL fiction, and though he didn't want to admit…some of the reference books he'd been given months ago.
Kamui recalls as teeth nip and tug all across his plush lips. There's a redness to the beautiful pair of pink.
"Mmm… Subaru?" Kamui asks between the presses of their lips. He voices no complaints, feeling tender hands brush up and down his back. The touch is only magnified by their state of undress, fingertips loving sensually all over his naked form.
"Yes?" Subaru hums. Though he doesn't give Kamui a fair chance to answer. He kisses all along the younger male's beautiful jawline.
"Ah!" Kamui cries those tender lips sneak over to right below his ear. Tiny little nips and kisses trace all under and upon the sensitive lobe. Subaru works according to his lover's reactions.
Elegant hands tighten desperately at the feeling of warm breath flowing into his ear. Then comes a few particularly seductive bites making his ears go even redder and hotter than before.
"What were you going to say, Kamui?" Subaru asks again, not seeking to have a hint of guilt for the mess he made of his younger lover. He pressed one more soft kiss and locked upon the red nip left on an incredibly sensitive and erogenous patch of skin.
"Did you… f-feel good?" Kamui only realizes he voiced the words, as they fall off their lips. He swallows, watching his lover at every movement. Entrancing orbs of gold and green blink, then widen slightly before darkening with a very present heat. Subaru's pupils blow up, devouring the darkened rays of gold and emerald.
"I think you know the answer to that," Subaru returns, moving down to kiss down a very sensitive throat. He feels Kamu swallow beneath his lips. Hands are careful yet tender as they move around and between warm legs.
"Ahnn!" Kamui cries out, feeling hands swiftly trace over the area where he had been covered with his love's essence. "S-Subaru…?" The light touch brought out a fire making the area feel as hot as it had been when Subaru climaxed there.
Subaru presses his lips together. There's a bit of amusement twinkling in his eyes, seeing the flush, and feeling that cry strike him hot and deep in his core.
"Was that alright for you?" Subaru tenderly returned the question. His hands avoided the even more sensitive parts of his love.
Kamui averts his eyes, before nodding. Subaru continues to kiss and lick down the side of a loved-up neck. The red love bites were still quite present upon the velvety skin. An open-mouth kiss pressed upon one of the smaller love marks, sucking over it.
"I'm glad," Subaru coos, stealing and swallowing plush lips with his own.
"Subaru!" Kamui gasped, his hands moving frantically across his body. Larger hands brushed over a sensitive backside, but it was enough.
"My Kamui…" Subaru purrs, tone hot and a bit possessive at the area where marks had been made.
"Mhmm…" Kamui agreed, a bit abashed, but with certainty. "Always yours," He professes so gently, it melts his love's heart.
The burning passion and searing love inside were going out of control.
"Sub-ahhn!" Kamui finds hands right under his hips, flipping him so he would lie on his back.
"I love you," Subaru professed suddenly, grasping for both of Kamui's hands. Their fingers laced completing one another.
Kamui squeezed those loving hands back. His lips curled angelically. "I love you, Subaru," He assures, eagerly allowing himself to be pinned back down. His arms fall on either side of his head. Beautiful silky raven hair waterfalls perfectly over the white pillow.
Subaru's eyes darken as they thoroughly take in the sight of a pinned Kamui. Scratch that ...his Kamui, who was beaming, humming, and all too willing to be pinned down. Subaru had every intention of making his angel loved senseless.
Their lips connect, melding into lingering kisses. Kamui parts his lips, following along with every press, as he tilts his head to different angles, following with the movements of his lover's lips and tongue. A little tired from last night involves these kisses to go rather languid and a tad bit messy. It's messy enough to leave trails of saliva between their opened lips every time they part and meet again.
"Su-Subaru?" Kamui lets his head fall back. He bites his lip, knowing all too well how reactive they both could be in these positions. He slowly but very willingly spreads his legs allowing his lover room to rest between them.
"Yes?" Subaru practically growls his reply. He was this close to losing his mind watching Kamui. It would be so simple for him to lift those long gorgeous legs up, bring them around his waist… or over his shoulders.
Subaru had to pause and breathe, burying his face in Kamui's neck. He took slow, calming breaths. The air from his lips felt like an addictive fire to his younger lover.
"Ah… t-that is… s-soon… I… I was wondering if… " Kamui stumbles, curling his hands into his love's neck and tugging at him, just a little to get the words out. He's met with sultry and burning eyes, that make him want to react... He's not sure if he wants more to move them over and climb on top of his normally hesitant lover… or to lean back and eagerly submit to everything that was to come.
But… either of those options… might just make him… Kamui crosses his legs, unsure how he would process, losing it, untouched.
How was he supposed to know he'd feel this helpless to his lover's dominant side?
One that should definitely come out to 'play' far more often, Kamui thinks shamelessly. Even if it means… Kamui thinks with embarrassment as his cheeks blush hotly. I keep reacting like this…
"I-I think I'd like to take a bath…" Kamui says nervously. He had already made a mess of himself last night and found himself desperate. "Pl-please…"
The gentle pleading words make Subaru pause. His lips moved from sensitive skin, and his eyes were calming as he noticed the shy little smile on Kamui's face.
"Alright, I can get it started for you…" Subaru says, closing his eyes shut, calming himself. More than half of him just wanted to go back to kissing all over his lover and hearing those ethereal cries.
"Actually…" Kamui bites down hard on his lip. I can do this. His hand curls over his loves, lacing their fingers. "I was wondering if you'd… want to…"
Subaru's eyes raised wildly, already burning with white-hot glows of light. Part of him was certain these past few days had been a dream. But… this Kamui was far too warm to be fake.
"Will you join me?" Kamui whispers, heart racing, already feeling entirely naked and exposed.
"Y-yes..." Subaru returns dreamy in his lust-filled daze. Green and gold eyes heat up, pupils blowing at the offer. The potential for even more…
Subaru's tender hands glide across heated cheeks. "Yes, Kamui. I'd love to."
"Good because…" Kamui takes a quick pause pressing his lips together. Mystical violet eyes glimmer. "I was hoping you'd say yes."
Cleansing.
After the heated activities came a need to fully embrace the cleansing water above. The second his feet are lowered back to the floor, Kamui falls forward, panting, hot and heavy into a welcoming chest.
Kamui is effortlessly caught by his taller lover who pulls him into a warm embrace. Gingerly, the younger man is turned to face the stream of warm water.
Subaru leans down grasps for a previously neglected washcloth on the door of the shower stall. After allowing his love moments to lean back against him. One arm remains around Kamui, keeping him entirely steady.
The older of the two move them so they are now fully under the showerhead. Kamui closes his eyes blissfully. His cheeks burn bright red, as he glances down to see the seemingly endless stream of white stained from his chest and deep between his tired legs.
"Are you okay?" Subaru asks again, pressing tender kisses to the back of his boyfriend's neck. Protective arms, snake around a slender waist. Subaru's lips quiver. "That wasn't… too much?"
Kamui shakes his head, his silky head over hair shaking under the stream of water. "Uh-uh…" He hums in a positive tone, mind a little too weak for words. The shower water cleans and washes the stains left from their intimacy. Though every second, each touch lingers inside.
"Maybe I'm a little tired…" Kamui sheepishly admits. He reddens, gasping at the sight of his lover's essence falling from between his legs and down the shower drain.
"We should… probably rest a bit…" Subaru ensures, hugging the pleasure weak body into his own.
"At least… we should sit down."
"Okay. .."
Carefully Subaru lifts his petite boyfriend, and out from the heated stall. Kamui is plopped down upon classic bathroom stools. The older man kneels behind his worn-out beloved. He grasps the warm cloth into one hand and lathers it with soapy water.
"May I?" Subaru asks anyway, despite how they just touched, it wasn't in his nature to go against his love's wishes.
"Yes," Kamui glances up, a little meek. His silky hair drips with beads of water as he nods his head. Plush lips curl up at the feeling of gentle hands gliding across his body. Only the simple cloth separates the lovely skinship.
There's a careful brush of body wash lathering across Kamui's bold shoulder blades. Kamui leans his head back, allowing his love access to clean down his exposed neck. His eyes tightly close, going breathless at just how tender such a tender touch flows everywhere.
"Your skin is absolutely perfect," Subaru professes, gentle and adoringly. The soapy cloth brushes across a sensitive chest, and he hurries the pace feeling an unexpected reaction to the light touch.
Kamui bites inside of his cheek "You're perfect…" He murmurs, tenderly, biting his lip at every caress which follows.
Subaru loses his breath. There's a tight squeeze at his chest which can't be tamed. He pressed a kiss to Kamui's shoulder for those words. Perhaps, he was a little too enamored, forgetting how much attention he was giving his sensitive love's body.
The abashed younger male widens his eyes before tightly pressing them shut. sensitive pink buds on his chest harden from a touch so seemingly minimal. But this was his lover's touch and… His body couldn't help being a little extra sensitive.
"Thank you…." Kamui responds softly. He lifts his arms up and out, marveling at how gracefully his lover runs the washcloth down his arms. Every touch treats him like porcelain.
"I'm more than happy to do this…" There's a shift in his touch as he brushes past the sensitive regions. Well more sensitive…. Subaru wasn't sure if there was a part of Kamui that failed to respond beautifully to his touch.
Kamui shakes his head. "I know...still though..." He mutters to himself, a little frustrated. He was helpless to every little touch…. It was difficult not to cry out and start something up again. He clenched his fingers into his palm. His precious person is all too attentive and close to him.
Subaru's protectively encircles Kamui, wrapping him up from behind. Kamui leans back into the soft embrace. He sighs peacefully, leaning his head back to look into sparkling green and gold eyes.
There's a hot flush spread between them. The older of the two has to add a bit more pressure in his cleaning, as he approaches the shyly spreading legs. Subaru's elegant hands more reverently, in order to clear off the remains of their cum, remaining on his smaller love's body.
The careful movements around Kamui's aroused area, make him smile. It's just like his boyfriend to still be careful, not wanting to stir his love up again ( at least, not without knowing with some certainty, Kamui was in the mood for more.)
Kamui remains content, closing his eyes, as he leans back. He practically purrs, feeling adoring hands to worship his body, cleaning all around and between very loved on legs.
Quickly enough, he's cleaned. Sudsy bubbles lather all across the younger male's back. Kamui leans his head forward, lips caress the back of his shoulders, as he's cleaned delicately.
For only the briefest of seconds, does the older lover rise to his feet. He grasps for something quickly, before kneeling down attentively. "This is the shampoo you use, right?" Subaru gestures towards a tall, lavender bottle beneath the showerhead.
"Mmhm, I think it's been the same since I moved in…." Kamui hums, indulging in the way his hair is being played with.
"That's… Good," Subaru slowly replies. He's not quite willing to admit, just how wild his heart has been racing from the statement. Because...they were living together...as lovers. 'I'm not sure if I'll ever get quite used to this…'
"You're hair is always so soft… I love feeling it." Subaru's hands lovingly curl in through already smooth hair. It feels incredibly soft as the older male skillfully squeezes the bottle, and takes the pool of lilac-colored shampoo, brushing it between his heads.
Kamui bit down on his lip. He made an embarrassed little squeak processing more and more of the sweet words. "I love your touch here…" everywhere. To be more accurate, Kamui is certain that after today it goes without saying. Though wonderfully cleansed, there's no sign of finality. Subaru remains close, burying his face into the crook of Kamui's neck, breathing him in.
"Can I wash you too?" Kamui asks, curious. Subaru looks over his love a little amused. The pink face and shy disposition remind him, Kamui was just as nervous with the new developments between them. And very much as flustered, to the point where going to more innocent activities took getting used to. As innocent as it had been.
"Of course," Subaru assures. He stands up to grasp for a matching bottle of conditioner, squeezing out a good portion of the soft substance to his hands. "As soon as I'm done."
"Fine…" Kamui laughs at this. Subaru's all too talented hands begin to brush through and soften already perfect strands of raven-black.
He doesn't find himself minding, as soon enough it's Kamui's turn. He feels himself get a little too heated, kneeling in front of his love. So he opts for mimicking earlier actions and taking a seat behind his taller lover.
Kamui's hands are all too soft and nimble. They gather up another soft cloth, and foaming body washes, before caressing it across light skin.
"Kamui?" Subaru asks somewhere along the way. He loses track of his senses, what with how perfect Kamui's body felt up against his back.
"Yes?" The response is tender, accompanied by Kamui's nimble fingers, gently massaging tired shoulder blades.
"You know that I love you, right?" Subaru asks, rather carefully, uncertain. "That when I do this with you...it isn't just something lustful...it's...because I want to be with you. And if it's ever too much-" Kamui's hands don't stop caressing his protective lover, awaiting the rest of his explanation.
"You're my most precious person." Subaru starts again, this time hearing the sopping sound of the wet washcloth against the bathroom floor. Both of Kamui's arms squeeze him tight. "I want you to always feel alright."
"I feel the same...and I know you, know you always make sure I'm alright before anything else." Kamui blissfully surmises. Though in the back of his mind he wonders if Subaru's concerns come from his experience with his past love. Though he pushes that thought as far behind as possible, this being a precious moment for himself and Subaru, only.
"I love you...and I want you so much, Subaru." Violet-blue eyes slightly shift, glistening, whilst his body starts to burn up. Of course, it wasn't something shallow 'And you waited so long for me, to realize how I felt. So long before we did so much as a kiss...' Kamui recalls. His lover never pushed for his own needs.
"When you tell me these things, every time I hear them I..." Kamui bites down on his lips, buries his head into the warm shoulders. For a rare initiative, Kamui takes the initiative of kissing and licking around his lover's neck. With a gasp and several nips of his teeth, Kamui begins to form a tiny kiss mark on the ivory neck.
"When you say those things...Fall even more for you… It's almost scary." Kamui admits, ducking his head down, taking particular interest in his lover's back. All of this as though he hadn't been the one to take action, and mark his older lover.
"Kamui…" Subaru breathes slowly. He turns from his seat. His hand brushes across tear-stained cheeks. Judging by Kamui's widening eyes, tears he wasn't aware of before.
"I just...I...I love you the most…and I love being close to you.." Kamui's lips tremble as he voices the words. It was hardly unknown but still, the words held such power… "I feel happy that you feel for me...and happy that you want me." Cheeks redden further, but they lift so happily. Kamui whispers. "I need you here… a-always…"
Quickly, Subaru turns and clutches the smaller male in his arms. They flush, chest to chest. "I'll be with you, Kamui. Always…" Kamui clings tightly, into a deep embrace. "And I'll always need you, Kamui."
"Subaru~" Kamui coos, glimmering violet eyes begin to tear up a little more. Their lips brush in countless, seemingly endless kisses.
Somewhere down the line… They finish washing and cleaning. Yet, even then as soon as they make it into the bath…. Kamui being carried princess-style to the warm water. The younger male sits, resting between his lover's long legs.
Kamui's back presses against a tender chest. His eyes flutter closed. This feeling was undeniable...it was everything. He was bent on protecting this...forever. Even defying fate, further if need be.
~~End~~
Thank you and stay tuned very shortly for Chapter 17 where we will delve more into these two, their relationship, and some interest/focus on Kamui's family history.
