Pair

Passing through the island scenery, the young couple arrives at a quaint train station. Above are several signs indicating ahead they would be heading to the nearby city of Kamakura. The pair linked hands as they hurried over to their needed bullet train.

Subaru and Kamui both held different ideas as to what they had planned here. In the latter's case, it was more a lack of knowing exactly what would come up here.

"You still haven't told me what it is you're looking forward to here," Kamui mentions, lips curled into a bit of a frown, pouting purposely. A part of him hoped that this expression would melt Subaru into telling him.

Subaru's lips raise, feeling his urge to maintain secrecy slipping away. The sweet doe eyes sparkling up at him, and plush pouting lips made his knees buckle. This certainly is the cutest puppy dog face he would ever lay eyes upon.

"You will see soon, Kamui," Subaru responds with great strength and resilience he keeps himself in check. The desire to see a (hopefully) pleasantly surprised and moved Kamui fills him with even greater resolve. This was a rather important stop.

They step onto the subway train without further answers. Seeing the car fill up, they move towards a more spacious spot to stand, in the back corner.

Kamui holds tightly to the ring-shaped strap dangling above. A sense of contentment washes over him when feeling a warm and familiar hand wrapping over his own. As the last few passengers crowd in, he finds himself moving further, closer to the wall of the subway train.

Subaru's warm figure presses into him, gently guiding the smaller male to lean back into the wall. As soon as Kamui's back brushes the flat surface, he feels an addicting sense of comfort and warmth flushing into him.

A long arm tangled around his waist, pulling Kamui forward, into a partial yet still very tender embrace. From this position, there were no chances of other busy travelers bumping or crashing into the younger man.

Kamui can't help but smile, giving into the feeling of clutching his lover's arm. While others may see the action differently, He finds the interaction sweet and protective. His boyfriend is acting as a shield whilst keeping him so close. Kamui is personally fine with not being brushed up against a bunch of strangers in a crowded place. Being surrounded by his favorite person's warmth, even sensing what he deems to be pheromones, is much more preferred.

The intimate notion doesn't go unappreciated. Although now, he's faced with the task of keeping calm. His lover's proximity, scent, and natural warmth keep his mind numb. He bites down hard on his lip to keep from a gasp, when the train turns a little sharply, brushing Subaru a little harder against him.

If they had their privacy, he'd give into the raw urge to grind down, until they could become as close as possible to becoming one. His heart rages alongside his hormones, as he's swept in by an enchanting heat.

A heat unlike any other, one he wouldn't mind melting under. Even the worst shakes and loudest chatter couldn't seem to alter the loud and rapid pace of his heart. He's forced to admit, that he's rather drawn in by his lover's supposed 'Selfish' side.

Subaru doesn't say another word, only ensuring Kamui is safe and close to him. To boot it was a nice bonus to keep fond, admiring gazes off of his boyfriend. The older male frowns upon recalling the various gazes and intriguing eyes following his lover on their short walk over. He understood his lover was beautiful, but he at least wanted this time to keep Kamui all to himself.

"We're almost there," Subaru leans in, lips brushing a tender and heated ear. Kamui nods, releasing a sound from his lips that falls somewhere between a mewl and a hum. He clutched his hand tightly into his beloved's shirt.

Flushed beyond reasoning, Kamui keeps his head down. A feeling sweeps over, as though everyone they passed by could see or sense exactly what kinds of thoughts had been on his mind the entire ride over. How he hoped, his lover couldn't read him now, as easily as he often could. He would be quite certain to find a way to die from sheer embarrassment if his boyfriend knew everything he desired. All kinds of fantasies played out, no matter how much he tried to sweep the thought away. Now was not the time to focus on those.

If his boyfriend found out later… when they were truly alone… he would accept it. This voice in the back of his mind, and toes curling in, remind him he would be more than 'simply accepting' of such a thing.

Subaru holds a tint of color to his soft creamy complexion. There's a sense his anxiety is over a rather different subject with his eyes straight ahead, and his hand trembling even as they move further from the crowds. Exiting the train gives them both a breath of fresh air.

"We ah are… A-almost there…" Subaru begins, hand sweating, clenching tighter than intended to Kamui's smaller hand.

'Is he slowing the pace?' Kamui wonders, quite curious as to what would occur this time. His lover swept him up in more 'romantic' heart-throbbing moments than he could hope to count.

Today alone brought on more cherished memories, held to for a lifetime. The recent kiss at the Dragon Lover's Bell playing in his mind, fondly on repeat. A moment he knew he'd never forget.

Swept up in the mood, Kamui focuses on entangling their linked arms, nuzzling his head between his lover's bicep and shoulder.

"Whatever it is you want to do, I'm happy to do it," Kamui reassures, voice gentle and whispering.

While not fully grasping Subaru's nerves he shifts their hands, relaxing their fingers for an even tighter hold.

One that sends out the words: 'I'm with you. No matter what.'

"Thank you," Subaru expresses with a soft shaky breath. He is needing all the support and confidence he can get.

While the area is populated with tourists from the island over, they head in a direction that clears things out. There is a nice feeling approaching walking down the shipping district.

This feels far different than sightseeing or tourist attraction, Kamui can tell that much. Subaru is certain, so long as the notion is reciprocated this will become a cherished moment. A moment that could prove to be monumental. If done successfully, it would only build further on their connection.

Taking a breath, Subaru stops a few feet away from their destination, the store sign clear in sight. "This is it," he says, waving towards the destined shop, growing flustered.' I hope you like this… '

They stop before one particular shop. Kamui feels his heart skip. The sign upon the front of the shop reads a sign reading "Connecting Souls". A large emblem beside the words hosts two matching gold rings. They link together creating a space with a heart symbol in the middle.

Everything clicked. Well, the general idea anyway.

"You're taking me here to…." Kamui breaks out in near delirium. He has to take slow breaths to ease his throbbing chest.

"Yes, well this is an idea…" Subaru excuses his actions, mine running and anxiety fueled. 'I'm not meaning to put pressure… or make things rushed but…' Surely, this much would be alright? They have been together a full year now.

"To Make? Or look at the…" Kamui guesses his lover's pauses only add to his nerves. Violet-blue eyes widen, lost and gone on the unexpected but sweet gesture.

Just when he thought his heart would have a break from their last excursion…it sings once more again. His heart beating not so much swift, but clear and loudly: wanting for the person closest to hear its call, to understand. A strong and vibrant melody, to draw his beloved closer.

"Only if it's something alright with you," Subaru cuts in, anxiously. While the idea of rejection is critically low, he can't help but add in, assuring none of this would displease his precious person. "We can always just look around or…."

Kamui wasn't hearing it or rather not processing "Rings…" he thought his heart couldn't rush any faster, or ache any further. As though it wasn't enough when Subaru spoke in words very similar to a type of proposal, and that all happened, 'only' over a picnic lunch. This moment was something special, he decides, just for their first anniversary.

Even if this wasn't a form of engagement it was very much a step in that direction. No matter how much he reminds himself it's not 'uncommon' for couples to purchase rings it's never enough. He feels a sense of adoration, and exclusivity- s though this moment, location, and the world around them belonged only to them

This would be irreplaceable. Another symbol of their devotion to one another.

Kamui finally turns around, much to his lover's comfort. Seeing, the beaming smile, and water threatening to spill beneath violet eyes, left him breathless.

With the most tender, and loving voice, he murmurs, "Is this what you've been planning all along?"

"Y-yes," Subaru stumbles, the already minuscule chance of rejection becoming more and more obsolete. "If it is not too much then-"

"Not at all," Kamui amorously speaks, voice gentler than it had been and would ever be with another. He was essentially cooing each word, embarrassing himself purposely. Subaru was worth it that much and more. Sweetly, his small, elegant hand glides forward, landing softly on a flushed cheek "It makes me really really happy, Subaru."

After a moment like this… there's no sense of resistance just complete acceptance and adoration.

"In that case…" Subaru cups the hand upon his cheek, cradling it softly. Finding it safe he adds. "This is very much something I'd like to do with you…"

"I love you…" Kamui releases something between a fond laugh and a giggle (something he could never admit to others). His heart steadily is pounding and swelling up. Never in his life did he think he'd live long enough to experience love, let alone a commitment quite like this.

"I love you too," Subaru returns with every ounce of emotion he can release from words alone. His heart keeps playing a strong, passionate melody, wanting to sync and become one with the one closest.

Taking the hand nestled under his own, he brings it to his lips. Locking eyes with Kamui all the while he finally voices, "That's why I wanted to bring you here… For you…" His head turns. "For us to create something special together."

"I'd love that," Kamui professes exuberantly, eyes glossy. He's leaning on his tiptoes, brushing their noses.

"I'm relieved I'm not alone in this… I've thought about it for some time…" Subaru admits, swallowing, before taking a breath. "M-making couples rings…" He whispers, breath ghosting sweetly, letting Kamui feel the words directly.

'So cute… ' Kamui can't help but think, adoring this abashed, vulnerable side. A side to Subaru he hasn't felt safe enough to bring out… until now.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Kamui voices calmly, gently, not wanting his beloved to take his curiosity as a form of criticism. A tiny, private smile sweeps over his lips.

Subaru closes his eyes, finding the right words, exhaling slowly. He holds faith that no matter what string of words falls through his lips, Kamui will understand. "I hadn't wanted it to be too soon… and I… had been wanting to find a good time to remember it by. So, it could be… special.

"I think you found the perfect time." Kamui leans on his tiptoes, stealing a sweet, discreet little kiss. He murmurs a few sweet-nothings, breath tickling the older male's lips. Gently turning his head from the side, their lips brush, slowly. "It's very special to me. " Whispers fall from tender lips.

"Kamui…" Subaru quietly purrs, allowing their lips to simply brush across each other.

"Aww~" At least, until the sound of giggling school girls, and chattering tourists fills the silence.

"Let's go inside," Kamui proposes, flushing as bright pink as his lover. Subaru nods, taking his hand again, entering the shop.

"Welcome!" Enthusiastically the shopkeeper greets the new guests. She claps her hands together and holds them to her chest. There's sheer warmth and kindness when she asks, "What can I help you with?"

"We would like to take a class to make matching rings?" Subaru answers, clearly, and having Kamui's support shows a sense of pride.

Uncertain if she's mistaken Kamui for a girl or simply held an open view of love, she's unfazed. The same bright smile never falters, She doesn't miss a beat, seemingly to adore affection, between all of her customers.

"Wonderful!" She speaks gleefully and waves them further into the store in a vague sweeping gesture. The sight of a few rooms in the back came about. She moves around a glass case handing a brochure.

"We have a couple of different courses to offer." The shopkeeper explains, happily. "I can give you some time to look it over." She offers the two their time, before bowing her head and greeting the next couple to walk through those doors.

The list ranged in a variety of prices and styles from more luxurious golden bands to simpler ones of silver. A small picture of each set of rings is displayed beside each description.

"What do you think?" Subaru asks, mind dreamy, particularly on cloud nine to even be at this point.

"What about you?" Kamui asks the same, violet eyes glistening.

"I asked you first," Subaru says, fondly, the whites in his eyes a little playful. He couldn't help it nor hide the blissful feeling. And this was just starting with couples of rings… "I'll love anything if we make it together… "

"I feel the same," Kamui ensures and finds himself looking back at the list. "Why don't we do these?" He asks, pointing towards a simple, but nonetheless beautiful pair of silver bands.

"I think it will be nice… but are you sure? It's not a matter of money…" Subaru had long since proved his generosity and happiness to spoil his boyfriend.

"I'm sure," Kamui finalizes, eyes sparkling. It wasn't so much a cost worry, he explains."Something about the picture just drew me in…We'll make them together so I'm certain they'll be perfect." The words seem to set their decision in stone. Still, he asks. "What do you think?"

"I think they'll be beautiful," Subaru expresses, hand curving over Kamui's cheek, and shielding them from any customer's view. Discreet and so very tenderly, he lets their lips brush.

It would be perfect, neither needing to have things a certain luxurious way. But even if such a desire did come by… This exchange of rings… didn't feel like the last time after all.

'Something tells me… We will have time again to do this again, in the future.' He had a feeling for the next stage in their life. They decided on the course, from start to finish, spending a little over three hours, until their own personal set of rings was completed.

Once finished with crafting, the couple happily thanked the shopkeeper. They left the shop entirely pleased, walking out and giving themselves a little privacy.

"They're beautiful," Kamui praises, eager to be the first to grasp a ring. Of course, "Thank you for… all of this."

"I love you", Tenderly spills from soft plush lips. Subaru feels his heart swayed, taken captive again and overflowing with emotions and words he can't begin to explain.

"I love you so much Kamui," Subaru always exchanges the words. He grasps the remaining pair of rings and begins.

Kamui feels Heartbeat humming almost violently, as violet eyes watched a tender hand slip on the silver band.

"Thank you for falling in love with me." Subaru's lips brush over that ring finger, leaving his lover to shiver. This time around Kamui can't suppress the happy tears escaping down his smiling cheeks.


~Alone Time~

From the train ride over to the island until reaching their room-neither lover could keep these emotions suppressed. Holding back on acting on these feelings, given limited privacy, proved a challenge. Stealing discreet kisses on the train ride over, and 'sneaking off' to secluded areas for little make-out sessions off could only take them so far. It was never enough for what they really needed.

While the thought of making love in a far-off cove or forestry spot, had an allure, it wasn't a valid option. For one, Subaru couldn't stand the thought of anyone else walking in, and seeing Kamui's expressions while coming undone. He was quite certain Kamui was not fond of the idea either. No, they needed their moment, their space just the two of them…it would be worth the wait.

Kamui's eyes constantly wandered back to the beautiful silver band adorning his finger. He's certain Subaru's blissful smile never once left his lips, aside from when they were quite occupied. Even then feeling the tender smiles upon his lips left Kamui breathless, heart hammering in all the sensations.

When given ample privacy, passing the check-in room, Subaru halted in his steps. He tugs Kamui's thin wrist, guiding the younger lover back. They both waited right in front of their room's doorway.

"Subaru?" Kamui turns back, bewildered and a little impatient. His boyfriend deems not to answer and judging by the sheen in gold and emerald eyes, it's something intimate.

"Let me," Subaru breathes out, despite the words he doesn't pause in his actions. Leaning down he curls one arm around Kamui's back, and the other is secured under his knees. Easily, as done with experience, he lifts the smaller male up and into his arms.

Aside from going a little breathless, Kamui doesn't voice a word of protest. He instinctively wraps his arms around Subaru's neck and shoulders. Keeping hidden away, he buries his face into his lover's neck.

Carried in bridal style, they now finally enter their private room. Subaru slips out of his shoes, before closing and locking the door securely behind them.

The earlier sound of crashing waves, lighthouse sirens, and tourists' endless chatter had nothing on how loud their hearts were screaming out. Here they could have unlimited privacy. Finally!

Subaru doesn't release Kamui from his hold, even as the younger male begins to barrage him with long, deepening kisses on his lips, cheek, and neck. No, he was determined to make it to their bedroom, not releasing until he lowered Kamui onto their bed.

Worshipping hands, caress the sides of Kamui's left foot, then right. Delicate yet swiftly, Subaru removes the younger male's shoes and socks. He kisses the top of each foot, then toes, and ankles before releasing them.

Kamui is guided to lie back first, his lithe body spread out amongst the snow-white sheets and red petals. All of this is far more beautiful than any work of art could ever hope to be.

"W-what?" Kamui partly groans and whines; his lover's hands and lips are far too far away up there.

"Just witnessing a fantasy come to life…" But…truly, not even his greatest fantasies could describe how ethereal Kamui looked amongst the deep red rose petals. "And…"

'How is it no matter how many times I see…you never fail to take my breath away?'

"You're so breathtaking…." Subaru professed. Gold and emerald orbs took in every millimeter of his lover's beautiful form. The shining aura surrounding Kamui, makes him look every bit the part of his angel. Beautiful dark-raven hair trailed beautifully on the light pillowcase. Long elegant arms reaching out for him, cheeks flushed, violet eyes half-lidded, it was all too much.

"You are…" When those long, sleek legs spread…and long full lashes fluttering, drawing him in, it was game over. No hope to remain calm. His restraint is gone. Every ounce of growing love, barely contained, to begin with, came bursting out.

Subaru had no choice but to lean down and crash their lips together. Kissing Kamui this hard, only made the younger male respond with as much passion he could return, arms surrounding his lover's shoulders. Fingers tangle into the soft fabric over his taller lover's back.

"All I ever needed…" Subaru whispers, gold and emerald orbs drowning with a glazed emotion. His lips move to drape over his lover's bottom lip. Sucking the sensitive skin in deep, Kamui cries out. Subaru repeats the action once more, before biting down, wanting Kamui to feel it, feel everything he meant to him.

"My everything…" Sweetly, he praises upon those lips, licking away any soreness left as an apology. This time, it wasn't his words slipping out, overwhelmed by such a feeling…

'Cold?' Kamui opens his eyes fully, forgetting when they closed. so lost in the moment. A cool tear trails down again, landing on the corner of his mouth.

"So…why are you crying?" He reaches out, clutching his lover's cheek. Seeing as they were already far gone, he moves in sultry, sitting up, and shifting their position. Straddling his trembling lover's lap, he kisses the tender eyelids, his tongue slipping out to lick every teardrop away.

"T-that's…" Subaru has to reach out feeling the cool proof, rushing down his face when he realizes it's there. "I'm not unhappy…" He excuses hoping not to bring a worry to brilliant violet eyes but remains unsuccessful.

"What's wrong?" Kamui calls out to him, knowing, feeling the underlying ache amongst the happy loving feelings. His lover tried to wipe at the embarrassing tears, to glance away long enough to calm himself even a bit.

"Let me," Kamui was having none of that, taking both hands into his own. The stubborn male pinned both his hands to the side, keeping them in place. He began licking away all the falling stray tears. "I'll care for you…"

Words like that, reassuring, honest, took a direct assault on Subaru's chest. Another rain storm of emotions began to fall. Kamui did care for every last drop.

"I had a thought….th-that…" Subaru struggles for the words, but finds endless patience, compassion, and deep love in front of him, looking deep into his eyes.

"Yes?" Kamui caresses his boyfriend's dampened cheek.

"It's our anniversary which does make me incredibly happy…and it's a mark…we've been together for a full year and y-you…" Breathing seems to become a struggle, Kamui turns their joined hands, facing palm to palm, holding tight. So comforting…

'You've never left.'

'You've never once betrayed me…'

'You've made me believe in miracles…falling in love again.' Subaru knows he could go on and on countlessly and it would never feel like it was close to being enough.

"You never once let me go…" Subaru vocalizes but holds a feeling Kamui knew everything that came before it. His angel, reading his thoughts, directly from his heart.

"Never. I am never going to let you go," Kamui promises, licking a line down his lover's cheek, soaking every drop of emotion. "I'll never stop loving you, Subaru." He tilts a tender cheek in his hand, just so, to seal their lips.

Immediately deepening, the younger male, lets Subaru taste the emotion between…the fallen tears overwhelmed-healed by Kamui's natural taste. "I'll never betray your trust…your incredibly gentle heart and-"

'Shit-' Now Kamui feels his own deepened emotions taking over it all. His eyes choose to bleed the same clear, intensive emotions. He shakes his head, not fighting any feeling, the inevitable. "It can't be helped with you.'

"I will always be yours." Kamui re-linked their hands, before raising them together.

Subaru's hands are turned to the center of the younger man's chest. He feels, lives, and breathes for every beat of the beautiful heart. Every sign of life within Kamui brings him life again.

'The light, color, everything good in my life comes back and… I know…'

"It's all because of you…" Subaru whispers, a little too quiet, but he's certain Kamui could feel the words. His hands reach to grasp the smaller ones, tangling and lifting them. Gentle kisses and adoring promises fall from his lips, seemingly lost in the sensation of pressing over the back of Kamui's hands. He smiles through the rain of tears, thankful, that this love would never be like the first. It would never have to end as the first did.

Kamui can't help but fall harder, drowning in those darkening eyes. "So promise you'll do the same? Always be mine?"

No hesitation. Not ever. Not over this. "Always," Subaru promises, certain he could bet his life on such a vow.

Pulled in by each other's gravity they lean in closer. Subaru lowers their hands to Kamui's lap. Violet-blue eyes are the first to flutter, seducing a sea of emerald and gold. Both lovers fill that minuscule yet distant feeling space between their lips. They're connecting, tasting the trailing emotion between each other's eyes.

Unknown to either who started first, their hands begin to pull at each other. Kamui's smaller hands move quickly to pull up his lover's shirt from the bottom up.

Subaru follows suit, slipping his hands underneath the light fabric of Kamui's shirt. All to feel the soft, bare skin of his lover's lower back. He complies to go and help. when the shirt, the younger lover tugged stubbornly under Subaru's arms. With one last swift pull, the first piece of clothing drifts up, and over onto the floor.

Of course, it would only be entirely fair to reciprocate. Subaru licks countless trails and shapes over Kamui's soft reddening lips, teasing for more. He's certain to ensure their lips stay intact, kissing deep and drawn into each other, only parting for a split second to remove the garment shielding Kamuis' chest.

"Ah-ah!" Kamui cries out, not so innocent but very adored touches come over him. Long fingers reached out, fondling the tiny pink nipples. Experienced fingers lightly pinch and roll the tender pink tip between. While wanting to reciprocate the touch, it was hard to do more than feel, and cry out as he allows Subaru to touch him with expert hands.

Crying out becomes a bit of a problem, all sounds are swallowed up by more ravishing, heated kisses. The receptive young lover returns the seductive touches the best he can. His fingers trail down his lover's chest, diaphragm, abdomen, and teasing right beneath.

"Mmm-mmn!" Subaru moans sharply into his lover's mouth. Even the smallest brush of fingers was enough to make him this affected. Fingertips, experienced with creating these reactions were all too skilled at drawing out more. He could feel his boyfriend haughtily smirk into their kiss.

Every moan and groan is greedily swallowed up by Kamui's waiting lips. Swallowed sounds of pleasure, increasing sharper the longer the teasing fingers graze just under his boyfriend's waistband. Taking in a little too much, Subaru starts shifting his hips, unbuttoning the front to release a bit of the tight pressure.

Kamui shakes his head, hands stopping over his larger ones from moving. He's pinning them back to the sides. Teasingly his index finger sways before trailing to his lover's lips. Eyelashes bat unconsciously, seducing his lover further into their passionate play.

Subaru is left 'helpless', finding no choice but to fall for his lover's reciprocations.

Kamui's head lowers down kissing below his navel, trailing lower, it's all he sees before his vision goes hazy.

"Aahh~" Subaru's cries slip through pursed lips.

And 'Oh…' when he witnesses teeth biting to the tip of his zipper, lips pulling it down, he nearly snaps. His hands desperately wanted to grasp for Kamui to tangle up in his hair and pull his head back down completely. Perhaps, his clever lover saw to that already, hence holding Subaru's needy hands down, before Kamui lifts his head.

Sleek hands clutch tightly to the sides of his waistband. Eagerly, Kamui slips the fabric down. Subaru lifts his hips, following Kamui's non-verbal cues to remove the garment. The last piece of clothing remains his most intimate.

To Subaru's own embarrassment, Kamui got a front view of his condition. His boxers were heavily dampened and stained at the front, private parts bulging and begging to feel every inch of Kamui.

As though to strike his lover even harder in his heart, and his hardness, Kamui licks his lips, lowering the stained fabric and unveiling everything. Merely, teasing the sex with the breath from his lips, Kamui leans back up, kissing his lover's lips sensually.

As much as he wants to act, now fully bare to his lover, he couldn't be the only one. Kamui remains so covered… creamy, delicate-looking skin was far too hidden for his liking.

The teasing had coiled up plenty of heat deep within Subaru's core. Before any more could continue, his hands grasp Kamui's behind, kneading the sensitive part to full sensitivity. Feeling the petite male shiver, then collapse into his chest, gave a pleasant and heated boost of confidence.

Continuing things become far needier, hungering hands reach around to the front. First teasing at the buttons of the shorts, unzipping them completely. His hands clasp over his lover's aching region, palming it until the desired reaction comes.

"Subaru!" There it is! Kamui sharply cries, needing far more than this. The younger man's patience ran thinner than his beloved over these manners. They both knew Subaru loved that little fact.

In one fell swoop, Subaru takes the sides of confining shorts and boxers and slides them off. The wearer complies and helps along the way, just as happy to be unrestrained.

Before either can utter a word, Subaru tosses the last piece of clothing onto the floor. Dual-toned eyes burn up, pupils taking over nearly all color, hungrily. Pouncing, he brings them both to fall down on the bed.

Kamui is pinned beneath his lover. Violet-blue orbs, sparkle, and glaze with so much raw desire. Vision going foggy as tears well up, but he wouldn't mind it. Not when his other senses were taking over and he could feel every inch of his lover over him, the warm addictive skinship.

"Aaa~" He cries out, then follows with a pleasured sigh. Pure bliss lifts those beautiful plush pink lips. Adoring eyes gaze up at their 'captor', sparkling. It's then Subaru realizes he's been seduced into giving his teasing lover exactly what he wants. Which worked well enough, the desire was far from one-sided.

His left hand pinned a pair of small hands over Kamui's head. Although the younger male was quite happy to stay put, they both knew that well enough, he wasn't going anywhere. It didn't detract from the hot sensation of being- passionately taken, in a mix of being lovingly dominated.

Subaru's right hand followed down the course of the lithe body, caressing every curve, edge, and crevice of his treasured person. His lips took no breaks, working on further engaging Kamui, kissing every inch. Worshipping lips, trailed across the beautiful face, feeling, and tasting the heat growing beneath.

"Kamui~" A kiss to the crown of his head.

Kisses along the lines of his hair. "Kamui~"

Kisses pepper his temples, and across his forehead tenderly. "Kamui."

"Kamui," Tender lip glaze over closed eyelids, clearing and tasting every pleasured tear.

Another kiss to the bridge of his nose. "My Angel,"

His next kiss falls upon reddened cheeks. "Beautiful."

"My beautiful Kamui," Subaru professed before sealing his lips over Kamui's mouth. He can feel the fire burning from his lover's cheeks.

Lingering here, he allows his lover's hands-free movement.

'Saying all those things all at once…' Kamui feels a slight urge to hide his face in his hands, not that Subaru would let that go. A stronger desire overtakes him. Hands and arms come around, and hands cling tighter to Subaru's shoulders, and upper back. Adding fuel to the fire, Kamui brings them further, closer, in a crushing kiss.

The younger male sighs, feeling a tender tongue pry at the seam of his lips. He allows access immediately upon coming to, giving absolutely everything and taking in all his lover has in return.

Subaru's tongue explores every nook and crevice of his lover's damp cavern. His tongue swipes across the front row of teeth, then inside to each hollowed cheek. The skillful organ moves to explore every curve around the lower row of teeth, brushing across the front and sensitive so close to the lips. He studied every centimeter all over again. Memorizing every sigh, moan, and sweet sensation he could pull from Kamui.

Pulling apart only for air, they break. A small labored breath escapes Kamui before he whispers.

"My Subaru~" Kamui ensures to return the feeling behind earlier words. If not as much then even more possessively, more assuredly, knowing and delighting in the fact Subaru was completely his. possessive form with every bit of confidence. which made him into this same mess. He followed up with a deep kiss, allowing his lover access to finish where he started.

Subaru's wet organ brushes over Kamui's tongue, seducing it into their kind of play. Kamui held nothing back, giving his all, and everything he could to return that passion, to let his body scream without words "You are everything to me"' and a foggier desire. "I will always want you, need you." Tongue entangled and tangoed, slowly, seductive until their next part for air.

All the while, Subaru's hands have been busy just grazing, brushing over sensitive skin. The older lover takes Kamui in for several more deep, languid kisses, somehow feeling raw and messy yet heavenly at the same time. The lewd trail of saliva between parting lips left an ache in both men's lower abdomens. It was time to continue further.

The silence around them only amplified the sounds they could bring out from one another. With a final erotic kiss, full of tongue and teeth their lips part with an obscenely loud smack.

Kamui feels embarrassment almost as strong as hardness aching, fully understanding everything they did tonight would likely turn him further into a mess.

"Can I mark you?" Subaru asks tenderly, moving kisses south. Gentle yet promisingly seductive lips lavish constant kisses on the exposed neck and throat. 'Subaru…' Always, always, always seeking to ensure his desires and lavished affection was fully desired, he voices the words again.

'You have to know the answer…' Kamui groans, frustration, and embarrassment…mainly at becoming so turned on at the request. "Maybe that's exactly why….you ask now…when I'm already like this.'

With a blend of frustration and inescapable fondness, he rolls his eyes answering. "Yes, yes, yes… Really I mean it when I say- 100 times ye- Ahn-" It seems the more bratty side of him, brought out something of his lover, biting hard down to the side of his neck. On the first try, and already he could feel the love mark blossoming a deep red.

All too affected, the loved-up young man tilts his head slightly back and to the side. Knowingly, he gives his older boyfriend all the access he desires. The caring way, Subaru's hands brushing his hair behind his ear, away from his neck, leaving a little kiss behind his ear, the affection is powerful all on its own, a direct attack to his heart over and over again. Following more intensive sucking, lips replacing where his fingers had been, it made him overwhelmed.

"Ah-Ah S-Subaru!" Kamui bursts out, hand tangling in the smooth locks on the back of his lover's head. He doesn't fight this, fully knowing he's only pulling his lover in deeper. A full admittance, he was enjoying Subaru's ministrations. He could feel the lips curving against his neck, his lover fully aware.

Encouraged further to press on, Subaru's tongue mapped out the next spot to target. Kamui closed his eyes, preparing to feel the slight sting of his love's teeth, mixed with a heating pleasure. The soft, apologetic licks made after every little mark processed in Kamui's brain were cute. Only making him further let his guard down, gasping hard, at the sudden feeling of lips and tongue sucking and ravishing that newly marked spot.

Trails of deep kisses followed lower and lower. Kamui stays certain he must have a death grip by now on Subaru's hair but his kind-hearted boyfriend never voiced a complaint.

"Oh!" Cries fall from deeply loving lips. Subaru doesn't stop licking and sucking particularly hard… It's a very sensitive spot, he's learned from experience. So it's only right, this part of Kamui gets lavished with the most attention. Sucking on the sensitive crevice, languid, deep, and with intent. Teeth simply nibble, the sensitive little spot, make Kamui shiver, toes curling in.

"So sensitive…" Subaru leans up, just to brush his lips, blowing hotly in Kamui's ear. His tone of voice is more than simply teasing, while he doesn't enjoy the little mewl following. The overwhelming sensation of delight, saying those two little words, stirs them both on.

The gentlest little nibble left such a reaction. Feeling now both hands curling tight into Subaru's hair, keeping them both burning up, desirously on edge. Kamui was already this sensitive, and still, he was pulling Subaru in, harder, deeper…Whether his heart or body was more affected by that revelation…he'd never know.

Feeling a clear green light, Subaru sucked harder and rougher…moistening the next target of affection. Gradually, he worked towards increasing the intensity of teeth grazing against skin…until finally- he nips that erogenous zone just hard enough to place a mark finally.

"Subaru!" Kamui screams, hands gripping harshly into his lover's hair. The latter groans, at the rough sensation, still entirely worth it. To draw that reaction out was everything, even feeling the younger man dripping against him.

Soothing the marked-up skin became a priority, Subaru's kind-hearted never truly leaves, especially not when things did get more passionate and intense. Gentle little licks, refrain harsh moans to a soft mewl, giving Kamui a chance to catch his breath.

Once Subaru had soothed and fully debauched the right side he tilted Kamui's head, working back onto the left side. Seeing a few previous bite marks left over drives Subaru with a pleasured emotion. "My Kamui," his voice turning to near growls.

"Y-yes…." Kamui agreed, growing breathless. He couldn't fight the beaming smile taking over. Never could he deny him this. "Always yours, Subaru~"

Subaru purrs at the indulgently loving words, softness mixed with a rather flirtatious tone. He leaves another kiss mark from high up the neck to the base. The first mark is set in, starting with gentle suckles, before biting down just enough to bring out the most pleasure with minimum pain.

Kamui can't stay quiet for a second, hands gripping his lover's head for dear life. "Ah!" Another. "Mn!" And another. Up until the point where neither can keep track of how many little love-fueled bites would be blooming by morning. No territory, left unclaimed.

Crying out and mewling in a way that stirred Subaru further on, going completely hard if he hadn't already. Satisfied leaving the last mark, he moved over to a new tactic. Again, proven through past experience…his lips travel up and down a tender throat.

"Mmmn!" Kamui lets out, head falling back again. Even the gentlest little caress of lips brought out a fire burning inside. Tiny little lovebites trail down, placed as gently as possible. Viewing a rather reactive part of Kamui, he goes further. Subaru strikes, sucking over the sensitive Adam's apple, intent on leaving a particularly large bite close beneath.

"Mnnnnnyaaaah~~" A high-pitched squeak escaped Kamui's mouth, loudly and certainly without his permission. Of course, his body seemed to live for every single touch, and kiss and became hypersensitive to the point of no return.

"You're very cute, Kamui~" Subaru purrs, clearly falling deeper and deeper into the mood.

"'M…not…" Kamui grumbles at the teasing, breath hitching as he finds his lover moving further down. He keeps peppering adoring kisses and marks across the smaller male's collar bone. Further on, he returns to fully love on a sensitive part. Every part of Kamui becomes adored.

(Please see the Archiveofourown story version uncut- 'Ambrosia'-under the same pen name AyaxRoses for the bulk of the chapter- fanfiction mature ratings confuse me, and I've been bad with editing them. But this chapter has a lot of the explicit scenes removed making this edit super short.)

Pure euphoria takes them further and further away from any sense of self. Being here, feeling each other entirely, and living for this moment that's all that mattered now. Their pacing increases urgently. Soon they return to the wild pace they kept moments ago. Everything is unhinged, feelings taking over all worries and thoughts. Bodies and lips melded together.

Kamui relishes in the feeling of his lover's lips crashing on his, tongue plunging in at the same time a passionate pace of love growing. Such a mind-blowing thrust deep inside him.

Kamui cries out into his mouth, creating beautiful sounds only Subaru was privy to swallow.

Repeating this heart throbbing process, until, kisses become a little messier, living to feel everything, but still so perfect.

"Subaru!"

"Kamui!"

Cries of each other's names are released, between adoring kisses.

Perfect synchronicity, each lover felt the intensity coming harshly. Kamui had been the first to come. His arousal lifted and burst, but only by a split from his lover. Those white ribbons, releasing painfully hard between their pressed stomachs.

Certain they could come together, kisses only breaking to shout each other's names. An alarming spark shoots through their system. But in a split second, overstimulation follows, as Subaru comes maddeningly hard, buried deep inside his lover.

Both are overcome by the feeling of losing themselves to each other. Upon and within each other's bodies, they were painted and filled with each other's essence.

Subaru never stops moving inside, nor kissing Kamui with the same fervor. Not until they stop seeing stars.

They reach completion before collapsing. Kamui allows this, tightening his legs to wrap around, a clear signal Subaru could stay inside as long as needed.

"I love you," Subaru professes tenderly, as always the first words coming to mind and heart after they come to.

The notion never fails to stir the younger man's heart. "Love you too." Kamui returns just as sweetly, letting their lips meet in softer and slower kisses.

Tenderly, bodies fully joined, they fall into a light slumber.

X~~~~

Awakening felt much like a dream, entangled. Subaru's arms tucked around his lover's waist so protectively. He spoons the smaller male from behind, nuzzling against his neck.

"Good…ah..morning?" Kamui says with a yawn. His precious person opens his mouth to answer, before realizing he'd lost track of time. They turn towards the bedside table.

'11:52 PM' is lit up in bright red on the alarm clock. Only a few moments left of their anniversary. A celebration of their first of many years together, ending on a blissful note.

"I-um…"Kamui's stomach gurgles, blushing at the sudden reaction. Subaru looks to him as fond as ever, laughing softly.

"Let's get something to eat…we skipped dinner….."

"That's true…but it was worth it."

"More than worth it," Subaru seals their lips together, before picking up the telephone, dialing to place a much-needed order. While seeming too late for room service, someone did pick up,

Kamui could hear the extremely polite manner of speaking on the other side of the line, something telling him the staff knew exactly who Subaru was. His lover turns to him, holding out their menu, they agree upon a simple option, before the request is made out.

The pair returned to cuddling, turning on the television for background noise, they expected a long wait.

Knock. Knock, Knock.

Subaru had gone to get the door swiftly wrapping himself up in a bathroom robe. Kamui stayed happily in bed, wearing only Subaru's shirt beneath the light sheets. He was certain they both loved this habit.

And…he wasn't quite ready to get out of bed yet, his body still feeling everything they experienced.

Simple enough, they had a pizza for their dinner. But they did include a sweet slice of dark chocolate cake to celebrate their first of many anniversaries.

"Happy Anniversary," Subaru expresses, reaching for his lover's left hand. The look of Kamui's elegant finger embraced by the silver band, makes him beam. Unable to resist doing so, Subaru lifts the adorned hand to his lips, attention drawn towards that ring finger.

"You too," Kamui smiles, body curling up fondly, under his lover's arm. He snuggles his lover's neck. "Happy first anniversary." He emphasizes the significance with a wide smile, fingers playing with Subaru's hand. Mimicking the earlier motion, he kisses the back lover's hand and ring finger.

A sense of completion comes upon, connecting their hands, matching silver bands, sparkling under the room's lights… They indulge in the proof of further connection curling up in the post-coital bliss.

The worries if a belief fills up inside-they will be alright so long as they were together. No matter the issues with different types of magic and power-controlling vs… they were stronger than all of that.

"Um… but Subaru?" Kamui finds the courage to ask.

"Yes…" Subaru voices this expectantly, yet still delays the answer, brushing their lips several times.

"You were trying a lot of different things tonight….not the usual. Of course, I liked everything with you but- You haven't been holding back because of me right, weren't waiting long…" Kamui holds uncertainty, glossy violet eyes peering up with worry.

Subaru pulls him in, arm coiling tighter around Kamui's shoulders. "It's not like that... I wanted to experience as much as we could, my love. And… I had an idea you might have liked these too."

"What do you mean?" Kamui had yet to realize his slip up.

"Well, you had a lot of those doujinshi and manga out around the house…" Subaru's lips curl up all too amused. His eyes light up with bemusement. "I was surprised at first, you usually put them right away… but I figured

"What n-no! I wouldn't have done that just to... I hadn't meant to… "

So tired from exams and Onmyouji work, Kamui became a little forgetful, comfortable at home… even reading his more mature stories. It was certainly possible he left them out on Subaru's side of the bed or desk…

But leaving them out… means Subaru read through all the new BL comics he brought out this weekend. They were far from tame…The urge to bury himself under the covers takes hold.

Subaru enamored, smiles, humming happily at the flustered reaction. Everything Kamui does he finds alluring, intentional or not. "No, it's fine, I thought it was a cute hint."

"Oh my gosh. No… I - really!" Kamui comes to realization with a mix of horror. In the back of his mind, he thinks.

'I guess… It's not a bad idea… to give hints like that… certainly, it's easier than asking directly.'

He shakes his head this time was different. But being so unintentional, being so caught was another matter.

"It's alright, I don't mind it either way," Subaru tries to assure me there's no problem. Watching Kamui's expressions deep in thought he had to stifle his amused chuckles and growing smiles. His lover's face turned 100 shades of red and pink, eyes widening cutely, it left him more than a little amused.

'So I'm… technically the reason… Subaru was brought up doing all of that so… suddenly…

Kamui squeaks, pulling the covers over his head. He buries his face within the pillows hearing his lover's beautiful adoring laughter.

Chapter end


I hope you liked this chapter! There's just a lot of fluff and emotions here. I will focus more on Kamui and his desire to give Subaru some of his power, in the next update. There will be a lot of emotions going through, and I will do my best to make it an enjoyable final/final chapter. (Not including the epilogue because I love fluffy epilogues after endings). Thank you all for reading!
