…I’ll Love You

    Hikou’s eyes widened at what Kouji had said and his mind raced for a reply, but found none. He felt the bandit’s grip relax and step back.
    “Sorry,” he mumbled, turning away and moving to grab his scythe again. “Guess we should get goin’ so we can find her before she attacks us, ne?” He stopped when Hikou’s hand gently caught his wrist and turned him quickly towards the mage.
    “She can wait a little,” he said, uncertainty visible in his gold eyes. He cautiously drew the younger man (1) into a warm embrace and sighed. It had been too long since he’d hugged someone and it was a feeling he found he’d missed more than he thought.
    “Hikou…”
    “Don’t. Don’t say anything, please,” Hikou breathed quietly. He felt the scarred man wrap his arms around him and return the hug. A new feeling came over him then: he felt safe within Kouji’s arms. He pulled back slightly and pressed his lips to Kouji’s timidly, almost as if he were afraid he would hurt him. His lips parted as he felt the other’s tongue brush against them and welcomed the intrusion with a soft moan. This seemed to urge Kouji on and his hands began to trace the contours of Hikou’s back. When they parted for air, they both seemed a little dazed by what they were doing.
    “I…” Hikou sighed and then turned away. “Sorry,” he whispered. “I don’t know-” he stopped when Kouji stepped before him and pressed a finger to his lips.
    “Don’t think about it,” Kouji soothed. “It’s alright if yer unsure. Ya don’t have ta say anything.” He smiled reassuringly and cupped Hikou’s chin. “Just know dat I don’t care what happened ta ya den, I still love ya.”
    Hikou blinked a few times and then found himself smiling. “Thank you…for listening to me…” he said before wrapping his arms around the bandit again. “I want…to love you, but I don’t know if I can…I was a fallen angel up until a few months ago.”
    “Can I help ya learn ta fly again, tenshi?” Kouji breathed into his ear. Hikou’s mind screamed at him that he was doing the wrong thing, but he ignored it and nodded his head. He felt the younger man push him back lightly and recapture his lips again before lifting him off his feet. His eyes flew open for a moment, but he relaxed and allowed himself to take in scent as he was kissed again. His back met the bed, sinking into the soft mattress a bit and his arms wrapped themselves around the bandit’s neck and pulled him down as well. Kouji chuckled slightly as he pulled away and looked down at the mage.
    “Don’t worry,” he smiled. “I ain’t goin’ anywhere.” He leaned down again and kissed his lips briefly before trailing hot kisses down his jaw and neck. Hikou moaned, leaning his head back to allow the other better access. His hands buried themselves in Kouji’s dark-blue hair, stroking the silken mass gently. He pushed back dark memories of the last time he had been beneath someone, reminding himself that he was with Kouji and not some unspeakable creature. He couldn’t hide the shudder as he felt the ties of his tunic come undone. Kouji stopped suddenly and sat up.
    “You ok?” he asked worriedly. Hikou took a few breaths and sat up, nodding slightly. He felt the bandit wrap his arms around him and rested his head on his shoulder. “Ya want me ta stop?” The mage shook his head and relaxed a bit, letting Kouji remove his tunic before allowing himself to lie down again.
    ‘I trust him,’ he thought to himself as Kouji began gently stroking his chest, not wanting to startle him. ’I know he won’t hurt me, so I shouldn’t be scared. He’s not a servant of the Darkness, he’s Kouji.’ He gasped as he felt the younger man’s mouth on one of his nipples, moaning as he suckled hotly on the nub, his hands fisting in the sheets as he moved and did the same to the other. He then began trailing light kisses and licks down his chest and abdomen, alert for any signs of discomfort from the other man. He questioningly tugged lightly at the edge of his pants before continuing. Receiving a nod, he carefully removed them and let his eyes roam over the mage.
    Hikou kept his eyes closed, almost afraid of what Kouji would say about him. His mind went over everything he expected to hear, but heard only one thing.
    “Beautiful…”
    His eyes opened to find Kouji’s, startled at what he heard. The bandit smiled lovingly at him and leaned down to kiss him again, one hand freeing the older man’s waist-length hair.
    “Are ya alright?” he asked gently.
    “Hai,” Hikou breathed, looking up at him. He closed his eyes as he was kissed again, relishing in the taste of the other’s lips. He let out a startled cry as the bandit’s hand gently closed around his growing erection and began pumping it gently. He moaned, unconsciously thrusting his hips towards his hand. Kouji nuzzled his cheek reassuringly and moved down to take it into his mouth and sucked on it gently. He rested his forearm across Hikou’s hips and sucked harder. The older man moaned and struggled against the restriction to no avail. He gasped for air as a wave of sensations washed over him. With a final cry, he came into Kouji’s waiting mouth and felt his body relax. He opened his eyes a moment later to see the scarred teen’s jade eyes looking into his own and smiled wearily. Kouji stroked his forehead and tugged on the sheets free.
    “Daijoubu?” he asked quietly, wrapping the mage in the warm blanket (2). He pulled him against him and cradled him against his chest until he fell into a peaceful sleep. He kissed him gently and settled him on the bed to let him sleep. “Don’t worry, Hikou,” he whispered, standing up. This time he made it to his scythe and out the door uninterrupted and headed for Chichiri and Tasuki’s room. “You jus’ sleep and let me an’ da others deal with Arcadia.”

MWAHAHAHAHA <translation: another cliffhanger
OK, that was my first ever, one hundred percent me attempt at a lemon.

Kouji: But we didn’t have sex!
Mysia: Later.
Kouji: But…
Mysia: <BAM> ::Kouji falls to floor, his libido properly taken care of for the moment::

Anyways, please R&R and remember:

Love, Peace, and Chibis,

(1) I like to think of Hikou as being a year older than Chichiri, no da. So sue me (please don’t, I’m poor ;_;)
(2) I’d be a warm blanket too if two bishies were doing that kinda stuff on me, no da.
