Chapter 3

Toshiya put down the equipment for the tent and started setting it up once they decided to turn in for the night with the rest of the group. A few people were cooking up dinner and Toshiya figured Miyavi needed a little bit of rest from the long day’s hike.

Miyavi walked over to Toshiya, smiling at the sky, where stars where already starting to appear. "That was seriously cool. The best time I've ever had." He leaned down a little bit to whisper in the demon's ear, afraid someone might overhear them. "There's nothing but snow up there you know?"

Toshiya nodded and smiled at Miyavi. "I know, but I love snow." He said, before handing part of the tent to Miyavi. "Hold this, if you can. I need to get this tent up for us to share."

Miyavi nodded, holding the parts of the tent and arching an eyebrow. "Let me help you. Just tell me what to do."

So Toshiya began instructing Miyavi, pointing out various things that they needed to do to get the tent up. After it was standing and looked right, he nodded to himself. "Perfect, I'll lay my sleeping bag out in there for us."

Miyavi sat on the ground while he watched his new friend fussing with the last preparations. "So, tell me about your family, I've always wanted to know how it feels to have parents and brothers." Something red and shiny poking out of the demon's bag caught his eyes, making him crawl over there and carefully take it out, eyeing the package. Something labeled as chips.

Toshiya moved outside the tent again and sat on a nearby log, patting the space beside him. "They're crazy. I have a big family and I'm the youngest out of all of my brothers."

"How many? What they look like? Are they mated yet? I heard you mate for life around here." He was a little lost with the package he was holding, opening it to look inside at the new weird stuff, so he forgot to hold his tongue, just acting naturally. When he was in heaven, everyone said he talked too much.

Toshiya smiled, finding the habit kinda cute. "I have four brothers. They had all found their mates when I was born. Two of them are blonde like my mom and the other two have dark hair like dad." He answered, keeping it fairly basic. "I was going to find a mate, but the guy I had my eye on...he already was with one of my cousins." He added this part quietly, looking down at the ground.

Miyavi stopped with a chip halfway to his mouth, looking up at him. "Oh. Man, that sucks. I'm sorry." He offered the chip to Toshiya instead, smiling at him, hoping he could change the subject successfully. "You need some piercings. I can do it for you if you ever feel like it." He smirked, knowing his obsession for piercings and tattoos was not a very common thing and would stir some kind of reaction.

Toshiya laughed and looked Miyavi over, observing all his tattoos and piercings. "It hurts though...I should know. My dad has a whole bunch too."

"Really? Then we should really get you one! Pick a spot. It's not that bad, so don't be a chicken." He smirked, stretching on the floor to reach for his own bag. He always had needles and a few piercings with him, just in case. Inspiration hit him at the strangest times.

Toshiya eyed Miyavi a bit nervously, starting to edge himself off the log. "I don't know about that..." He muttered softly. He was kinda scared to give any unprofessional a needle and let them run free. It was dangerous.

Miyavi rolled his eyes and showed him the needle, still closed in it's pack. "It's the right needle and haven't used yet. Don't worry, I've done it a thousand times, for a lot of angels and myself." He smiled and slid closer to Toshiya, handing him the needle. "It's okay if you don't want to, but keep in mind that I would never hurt you."

Toshiya nodded a bit and sighed, putting the needle away and leaning against Miyavi. "Maybe...when I'm ready. Where do you think I should get one?"

Miyavi looked at his face for a full minute before answering. "I like your face the way it is so..." He smirked, getting hold of the other's shirt and yanking at up, using his other hand to stroke his tummy. "Nipples or belly. I like your belly, so bellybutton is a good choice."

Toshiya blushed a bit and looked down at his stomach, shivering a bit at the way Miyavi's hand felt on his skin. "Really? One of my brothers has four piercings around his bellybutton."

Miyavi smirked, letting the shirt fall back and finding sudden interest on the chips again. He had yet to taste one. "See? You need one!" He finally nibbled on a chip, quickly getting another one. "Damn, I love hell's food."

Toshiya smirked as he stole a chip from the bag. "You're going to get fat eating like that." He commented.

"It's okay, up there they always say I should gain a few pounds or I won't be able to..." He stopped suddenly, eyes looking down at the grass around him. "Or I won't be able to grow up right and fulfill my duty. I understand what they mean now..." He let go of the chips, not hungry anymore.

Toshiya frowned a bit and put a hand on Miyavi's back to comfort him, since something was obviously bothering him. "What's wrong?"

Miyavi bit his lower lip, looking back at Toshiya's face. For some reason, he knew he could trust this demon and that he would really help him. He lowered his voice, getting really close to the other, not about to share his secret with all around him. "A psycho needed a heir, and he wanted me to carry it for some reason. I was raised for that, but I found out today. Then I ran away."

Toshiya nodded slowly, feeling sympathy for the other. Being raised just to fulfill a duty? That was harsh. He hugged Miyavi to him tightly.

Miyavi smiled, hugging the other back. "That's nice, I don't get to do that often. Must be really good to have a family that cares about you, people you can hug everyday... Don't ever run away from that." He sighed, resting his head on Toshiya's shoulder and closing his eyes.

"I can hug you everyday." Toshiya offered, pulling back a bit with a small smile.

Miyavi smiled back at him, nodding. "That would be great... Now let me make a hole in your belly!" His smile turned into a smirk and he tackled the other to the ground, laughing while trying to reach the needle. It felt much better to not be speaking about such serious events.

Toshiya squeaked and tried to squirm away, not wanting a hole in his belly. "Nooo! Rape!" He yelped jokingly.

Miyavi laughed, making a show of taking the shirt out of the way and poking his belly button looking for the best spot. "Ok, now stop squirming!" He laughed, only letting go after a few long seconds. He giggled a little more, tapping the closed needle pack on Toshiya's nose. "Chicken."

Toshiya stuck out his tongue at Miyavi and then pulled it back in, just in case Miyavi got the bright idea to try to pierce that. "Don't force me." He said, pouting some.

Miyavi giggled and hid the needle away in his bag, deciding to not torment Toshiya anymore. "Don't be silly, I'm only kidding." He knew what it felt like to be forced to do something, he had ran away from his world because of that. "Maybe we should sleep now." He looked around, seeing that everyone was already in their tents.

"Mm, probably." Toshiya stretched out on the ground with a little yawn. "I'm cold now."

Miyavi smiled to him and reached out to grab his hands, helping him to get up. "Come on, it's getting late."

Toshiya smiled as he crawled into the tent and settled on his sleeping bag, making sure to leave enough room for Miyavi to join him in the cramped area.

Miyavi followed him inside, laying down close to Toshiya as a way to avoid the cold weather. He sighed and closed his eyes for a second, feeling happy and tired. "Hey... Why didn't you freak out when you saw my wings earlier?" He whispered, looking right on the demon's eyes.

"I've seen them a lot before." Toshiya mumbled, rolling onto his side and instinctively moving closer to Miyavi's warmth.

"What do you mean?" Miyavi mumbled back, almost asleep. He wasn't even sure what he was talking about.

Toshiya mumbled something against Miyavi's shoulder as he started to drift off to sleep, too tired to stay up and reply properly.

Miyavi woke up with a insistent tug on the right leg of his pants. He groaned and kicked whatever was bothering him, head going to hide in Toshiya's neck. It was too early too get up. When the tugging was resumed, followed by a unknown voice, he finally opened an eye, looking down to the tent's entrance. One of the guys that was traveling with them had poked his head in and was trying to wake them. "Get up lads, we're leaving in 15 minutes, come on."

The wake up call was very unwelcome and Toshiya groaned, pulling the sleeping bag up around them, huddling closer to Miyavi as he was somewhere between sleep and consciousness.

Miyavi groaned as well, but opened his eyes and sat up. "We're up, we're up." Nodding, the guy left the tent and the brunette was, for a moment, tempted to just fall back down and sleep more. "Come on, Totchi, we have to get up..." He mumbled, leaning down to kiss his cheek.

"Five more minutes, mom..." Toshiya muttered, rolling onto his stomach and hugging the pillow to his face.

"What? Mom? I'll show you mom!" Miyavi jumped on Toshiya's body and startled to tickle him, sneaking his hands up the other's shirt for added effect.

Toshiya squeaked and started to roll around to try and escape Miyavi's tickling hands. "Nooo!"

Miyavi laughed and didn't stop the torture for another full minute. When he was satisfied, he let go of the other, sitting down beside him. "That was for calling me mom." He was grinning like a mad man, not able to recall if he ever had that much fun before.

Toshiya panted and sat up, now completely awake. He threw his pillow at Miyavi playfully. "Come on, I'm hungry for breakfast."

Miyavi laughed and followed Toshiya outside, sitting on the grass. "What are we eating now?" He was bouncing on his place with all his excitement, his growling stomach eager for some of hell's delicious food.

Toshiya pulled out a cereal bar and tossed it over to Miyavi. "This." He answered. If they had more time, he would've tried to cook something up for them, but they had slept in.

Miyavi took a bite of the cereal bar and sighed. "That is how Heaven's food tastes like." He shrugged and took another bite. "How many days until we reach a city? I need to find Saga soon."

"It's going to be a while..." Toshiya paused and looked over to Miyavi with a small sigh. "You know what? I'll take you down now."

"No! I mean... That's...not necessary..." He bit his lower lip, struggling with the words he wanted to say."It's okay because..." He stepped closer to Toshiya, feeling his heart beat faster and a little blush cover his cheeks. "I really like... I really like your company, I want to stay beside you a little more." He looked in Toshiya's eyes, trying to read the other's reaction. "If you don't mind."

Toshiya smiled a bit in response, nodding as he leaned over and kissed Miyavi's cheek. "Of course I don't. As long as your ok with waiting." He then glanced at the other people packing up. "However...I'd like it better if we didn't have to follow these guys around."

Miyavi smiled back and, giving in to a impulse, hugged Toshiya close. "Thank you." He looked at the other people and sighed, he wasn't thrilled about following them either. "Can't we go another way? Or say that we're going down the mountain or something?"

"Well, we can pack up and go on another path." Toshiya decided. "I know there's some water at some point around here. We can take a bath there and settle there for the night."

"Isn't it dangerous?" He asked, but was already looking around for his backpack that contained the little amount of clothes he had brought from heaven.

"Mm, perhaps." Toshiya smiled to himself as he gathered up his things too. "But if we get lost, we can always get a view of the area from the air."

Miyavi pouted, gently punching Toshiya on the shoulder. "That's not funny. I really can't risk anyone seeing me. Can you imagine the panic?" He sighed, looking up to the sky and the place he once called home.

"No one will see you up here." Toshiya said, punching back lightly. "Besides, you're not the only one with wings."

"Shhh! Don't say that so loud!" He looked around slowly, noticing that one of the older men in the group had stopped packing and was now looking at them with a slight frown. Miyavi stepped closer to Toshiya, whispering. "Now I'm really curious, but let's finish this conversation once we're away from them. I think they heard you." He turned his head just enough to see the same tall demon approaching them.

Toshiya sighed as he lifted his backpack onto his shoulders. If anyone still had a problem with angels, they were just being idiots anyway. Angels hadn't attacked in a long time and last time they did, it was his family that had to pay the price.

The older demon dropped the look, apparently giving up on asking the boys what they were talking about, turning back to his bag and tying it closed. With a relived sigh, Miyavi smiled at Toshiya, patting him on the back. "Ok, I'm ready."

Toshiya nodded and glanced around, making sure no one was watching as he pulled Miyavi with him through the trees so they could hide from the others until they left.

Miyavi followed him, a little laugh building in the back of his throat. "This is kinda fun. I've never sneaked out like this." It was true, but the demon didn't need to know the reason. If he ever did that and was caught, punishment waited him on the next corner. "But won't they panic, scream and call your mom when they realize you're not with them?" The angel lowered his voice, speaking in Toshiya's ear from his place behind him.

"They wouldn't." Toshiya replied. "I didn't tell them who my parents were. I think it's better if they don't know." He spoke quietly, laying his head back against Miyavi's shoulder. He was sure that the rest of them would get going soon.

"Okay." Miyavi agreed, resting his chin on the head rested against his shoulder. His right hand slowly went up, resting on Toshiya's hip, quietly asking if was okay to hug him closer. He felt suddenly nervous, his heart beating wildly inside his chest, the closeness was not something he was used to, but he had always wished it.

Toshiya accepted the touch with a small smile, putting his hand on Miyavi's and gently pulling him closer. For some reason it felt so natural to be affectionate with Miyavi.

Miyavi grinned, quickly winding both of his arms around Toshiya's mid-section and squeezing for a second. With a low laugh, he let go, his arms now just embracing the other gently. "You're so nice to me... Thank you." He felt happy now, much happier then when he was in heaven, where everything was polite and uptight. Drawing in a deep breath, the angel kissed the other's cheek, sliding his lips just a little bit too close to the plush mouth.

Toshiya closed his eyes for a second, taking in a deep breath. That had felt really nice. He licked his lips and turned his head some to place a kiss on Miyavi's jaw. "You're welcome..."

Miyavi's eyelids fluttered in pleasure at the gentle touch, one of his hands starting to draw random patterns on the demon's stomach. Deep inside his head he knew what he was doing, knew that flirting with a demon was beyond wrong, it was unacceptable... Right? "I think they're gone..." He said lowly, stepping closer to the other's back, pressing flush against him. I'm half a demon, he thought. There was no reason to feel guilty for being attracted to one, right? Oh dear, how he missed Mika and Kohta's advice.

Toshiya took a deep breath as he stepped away from Miyavi, looking down at the ground. He needed to cool down because he knew that if he let Miyavi continue to touch him like that, he might not be able to resist kissing him. "Shall we start moving?"

"Yeah, you guide." He nodded, looking at his own feet. Stupid, stupid Miyavi. Trying to lighten the mood, he sighed and then glued a grin to his face. "Don't think I forgot about the sexy navel piercing!" Oh, way to go. He probably had made everything worse now.

Toshiya laughed as he looked back at Miyavi. "Maybe I'll let you do it later." He said, moving back out into the clearing to get started on their hike again.

Miyavi grinned more and stroked his hands together, a maniacal laugh leaving his lips. "Let's make a hole in this pretty belly..." He ran in Toshiya's direction, poking his stomach while his maniacal cartoon laugh was spoiled by a little bit of his own normal one.

Toshiya looked at Miyavi and laughed some more at his silly companion. It was fun to be with Miyavi. He almost wished that this hike would never end. "What about yours?" He asked, poking Miyavi's stomach.

"What about mine? It's pierced already." He smiled, lifting his shirt to look at his tattooed belly, one finger tracing the tattoo right under his bellybutton. What was he thinking when he wrote that on his skin? As fun as it was on at the time, now he was a little embarrassed. "But you can pierce it again for me, it would be an honor."

"I'd be scared to hurt you." Toshiya replied as he touched Miyavi's belly, sliding his fingers over the smooth skin.

"Don't worry, I will guide you. This way we will have a bond of some sort. These..." He pointed to his tattoos. "...and these piercings help me to never forget. That's why they're important to me. They all have a meaning." He frowned a little bit, looking at his belly again. "Okay, maybe not this one, I had robbed Kohta's liquor cabinet."

Toshiya grinned at that and leaned over to kiss Miyavi's cheek. "You're so cute." He commented before he started walking again, humming to himself.

Miyavi smiled and followed the other, holding his bag's straps to keep from touching Toshiya. Life suddenly didn't suck so much.

They were walking for a while before Toshiya stopped, deciding to take a break and do some fishing in a pool of water near by. Miyavi did like to eat after all and he preferred the nice foods.

Miyavi sat down heavily, letting go of his bag and massaging his legs. He wasn't used to walking at all, being locked inside his room most of time since there was not much to do up there. Not much he COULD do actually, with Kirito's watching eyes always upon him. With a sigh, he half crawled to the pond, diving his hands and face inside the water to wash a little of the sweat that clung to him.

"You can take a bath if you want. I'm going to fish." Toshiya said, glancing over at Miyavi. He picked up his fishing rod and prepared it as he found a place to sit on a rock.

Miyavi smiled at him tiredly, reaching down to untie his sneakers. "Nice thinking there, Toshiya. Nice thinking." When they were off, he didn't bothered with anything else, diving inside with a satisfied sigh. Just when he resurfaced that he started wriggle out of his top, grunting when the wet cotton clung to his skin.

Toshiya laughed softly as he sat back, with the line out in water, just waiting for a fish to come along. "You should've undressed first, silly."

"No, no. These clothes needed to be washed anyway." His voice was a little muffled under the top before he finally was able to pull it out. He then concentrated on his pants, undoing the button and having little problem to take it off under water. With a cautious look around, he spread out his wings, groaning in agony and hissing at the lump that now had formed on the injured spot. He carefully lowered himself until the water reached his chin, the cold water feeling wonderful against the poorly mended bone.

Toshiya watched Miyavi more than he should've, liking the way that the water looked rolling down the pale skin. He knew he shouldn't stare so much at him, but the other was beautiful and he couldn't keep his eyes off him. Eventually he felt a tugging at his fishing line and he almost was too distracted to reel it in.

"Something bit." Miyavi looked at his friend, just to see two brown eyes looking back at him. With a grin and obviously no previous thought, he got up, the water barely reaching his waist. Turning his back to the demon, he stretched his arms above his head, his wings following the motion. Show off, Kohta used to say, but now there really wasn't a reason not to, right?

Toshiya swallowed as Miyavi stretched before him, more of that lovely pale skin on display. He quickly reeled in the line, a fish wiggling around madly on the hook. His eyes were still on Miyavi though, even as he removed the fish from the hook.

Miyavi winced at moving his wing, but was hoping Toshiya hadn't noticed that. Wiping the frown from his face, he turned around, smirking at the demon who still watched him. "Hello beautiful." He laughed, swimming closer to Toshiya and finding a good smooth rock to lay down and just bath under the sun before it hid for the night. "What you got?"

Toshiya didn't even notice the fish he'd gotten yet. "Um, just a f-fish..." He muttered, feeling like his eyes were glued to Miyavi. Why couldn't he look away? "I'll...um, get it ready for us..." He mumbled, forcing himself to look away from the beautiful body laid out on the rock.

Miyavi nodded and let his grin slip back into his face when he was sure Toshiya couldn't see it. It felt so nice teasing the other like this that he couldn't even feel guilty for flirting when he should be looking for Saga. Some minutes passed and he started to feel sleepy, the warm sun of late-afternoon drying the droplets of water that ran down his skin. Arranging his wing in a better position and throwing an arm over his tired eyes, the angel just said the first thing that came to his mind, trying to avoid sleep. "So, what was that talk about me not being the only one with wings? You know any other angel?"

"You could say that." Toshiya muttered, a little distracted with cutting up the fish. He also was working on building a fire at the same time. All to keep his mind off Miyavi. "We have angel blood in my family so I have wings too."

"Really? That's nice, we should really go flying together one of these days!" He smiled and rolled on his stomach, reaching for his backpack and fishing out a pair of sweatpants and a sweater. When he finished dressing, he walked to the other's side, sitting down on the soft grass. "I...I'm a hybrid too. I'm not an angel. It's scary how much we're alike. I'm supposed to find my parents because things are getting pretty ugly up there."Finally, he'd said it and it made him feel as a weight lifted from his chest. It was nice to share his quest with someone that understood him.

"Really? So that's why your wings are like that." Toshiya commented, smiling. He finally got the fire going and he got the fish close to it to cook. He didn't know of any other hybrid families, but he was sure there had to be more around here. Maybe that's why Miyavi was looking for Saga, perhaps Saga had helped hide more than one family like his. “I’m going to wash off real quick.” Toshiya said, pulling off his shirt. “Watch the fish and make sure it doesn’t burn.”

Miyavi was about to nod when he realized what Toshiya had asked him. "W-What!? I can't do that!...Ok...God, what do I do?" He looked at the fish that was slowly cooking, wondering the right way to do it. But one little sneaky look the his side made all the thoughts about dinner vanish, for he was looking directly at the perfect body of the demon. So, apparently, two could play this game.

Toshiya smiled a bit as he caught Miyavi's gaze. He then reached down and undid his pants, pushing them off with his underwear and kicking his shoes off as well. "Don't worry, I won't take long." He said as he moved to the water to dive into it and take a quick swim around.

Miyavi grinned and shook his head to himself, laying down on his stomach and poking the fish around with a stick, He looked back at the shiny water surface every few seconds, waiting until Toshiya resurfaced to yell."Do you need your back scrubbed?" Wow, where had that came from?

Toshiya smiled and grinned a bit. "Why? Are you offering?" He asked, smirking a bit. Mm, both of them naked and touching. Good thing the water was cold. He needed it that way.

Miyavi laughed, looking back at the fish with a slight blush on his cheeks. "Nah, we don't even have a sponge anyway." He could not wipe the smile off his face, and something about that felt really nice.

Toshiya snuck out of the water a bit later and moved over, kissing Miyavi's cheek before he sat down to dry off and check on the fish. He poked at it, seemingly not minding that he was naked and everything was on display still.

Miyavi looked down at the thighs and other things right beside his face and smirked, hands reaching for Toshiya's bag just for the sake of having something to do with them. "Nice legs." He rummaged through the demon's stuff and selected a chocolate, opening it slowly and taking a bite. Then he came back to his Toshiya check out. "Really nice."

Toshiya grinned at the compliment, eyeing Miyavi before he leaned over to take the cooked fish and portion it out for both of them. "Here, something to eat." He said, handing half to Miyavi.

Miyavi bit his tongue when a thought about what he really wanted to eat crossed his mind. Pulling the plastic back around the chocolate, he started on his portion of fish, looking at the other's body shamelessly. Not that he could tear his eyes away if he wanted to.

Toshiya ate his fish, knowing that he should put some clothes on if they were to remain innocent. Surely all this teasing and flirting they were doing would lead to other things. He was enjoying it though, never having felt this way with anyone else before.

With a sigh and a lot of effort, Miyavi was able to look down at his own meal, shifting uncomfortably on the ground but refusing to sit up. There was a little something between his legs that was better to stay hidden.

After finishing his fish, Toshiya got up to dress, glancing at Miyavi when he did. He moved over once he had on a new shirt and jeans, sliding his arms around the other. "Do you want to bother setting up the tent again tonight?"

"No, that's fine. I just think we've got to take some blankets to sleep on... But that's really nice..." He smiled to himself, sliding his arms around the other too, turning on his side and pulling him as close as he could. His mind was shutting down at the fell of the other's skin under his fingers, making his mouth gently attack Toshiya's neck before he could spare a thought about it.

A moan pushed past Toshiya's lips at the contact, his mind going completely blank. Oh god, that felt so good. He could already feel himself giving in to his impulses, sliding his fingers beneath the sweater that Miyavi wore.

With the positive response, Miyavi's touches grew bolder, more sure. He laid open mouthed kisses on every patch of pale skin of the demon's neck, gently nibbling and licking. When he had the strength to part from the tasty neck, he laid his head back down, looking right in Toshiya's eyes, lips centimeters from his, trembling, wanting, asking.

And Toshiya answered that, touching their lips together and nearly whimpering at how wonderful it felt to be kissing him. He hadn't realized just how much he wanted Miyavi until now. No, needed him. Like he needed the air to breathe.

Miyavi moaned, parting his lips and devouring Toshiya's delicious mouth. He used his body weight to push the other demon on his back, laying down on top of him and using one of his hands to caress the chest and stomach in front of him.

A gasp was muffled into the kiss as Toshiya felt himself being pushed back, surprised at how suddenly Miyavi was on top of him. He arched his back a bit, craving more of the attention.

Miyavi didn't let go of the other's lips, but pushed his body up, sitting on Toshiya's hips. That made them loose a lot of contact, but put a lot more pressure where he needed it. One little experimental thrust of his hips and he was a moaning mess, the hands holding up him beside the demon's head were shaking and his hips had taken to repeat the pleasurable action.

Toshiya was squirming with pleasure, his own hips bucking up to meet Miyavi's until he heard a loud crashing of bushes and trees. He groaned as he looked over and saw one of the demons from his group stumbling out of the woods. Such inconvenient timing, he thought with a scowl.

"What are you--Oh." The demon stopped when he saw the position they were in, blushing at first, but frowning soon after. "Well, should I be sorry or something? How the fuck can you both just disappear! Do you have any idea of how long we looked for you? And for what? Making out?"

Miyavi sighed, sitting down on the ground next to Toshiya and pouting.

"Then don't look for us." Toshiya said, rolling over onto his stomach. "We were doing just fine without the rest of you."

The demon gave a step forward, barely containing his anger. "Get up and pack, you idiot. You're just a child and I'm the guide. I can't leave you here even if I wanted to. Move! We're leaving in ten minutes."

"I'm starting to regret agreeing to go on this." Toshiya muttered as he got up to gather their things together. The only good thing about it was that he got to meet Miyavi.

Miyavi waited until the guide walked back to the other three men that came looking for them before speaking. "He's kinda right though. He can't leave you behind, it's his responsibility to bring everyone back safely, right?" He walked to his bag, tying it closed. "Maybe we can ask to stay on the next stop? Call your mom or Saga or anyone old enough to make this idiot let us stay?"

Toshiya shook his head and pulled his backpack over his shoulders again. "Let's just suffer through it and enjoy our time together afterwards....well, you'll probably want to be with your family though."

Miyavi shook his head and smiled. "Don't worry, they will probably take some time to track down. Until then, I will be happy meeting yours." He laughed a little bit, doing his best to put out the fire and look around for anything that might still be unpacked. "Your family sounds interesting, too bad it takes some torture to make you talk about them."

"You want to know more?" Toshiya asked as he held out his hand for Miyavi, wanting to walk with him to the camp that all the other demons were staying at.

"Yeah. I want to know what a real family is like. Up there it's just my aunt taking care of me. Sometimes Kohta too, but that's a bit more rare. They're nice, but.." He sighed and smiled, shaking his head to himself and accepting Toshiya's hand. With a gentle pull, he guided them through the trees and to where the guides were waiting.

"Ok, I'll tell you." Toshiya gave in, deciding to share more with Miyavi as they walked. "My parents are wonderful. Brave and strong and fun. I was glad I got to be the baby, mom gave me so much attention." He smiled fondly as he thought of them, realizing that he missed them already.

"I received too much attention. Way more then I would like to. But, anyway, you have four brothers, right? Tell me more about each one." Miyavi was more then happy to just listen to Toshiya talking about his family all they way, the two hour walk seeming much less tiring. When they finally reached the camp, many glares were thrown their way, but he just ignored it.

Toshiya decided to set up the tent again this time, ready to collapse down inside of it as soon as it was up. He was tired and he really wanted to be able to hold Miyavi some more.

Miyavi did what he could to help, and sighed in relief when it was ready. "You want to lay down? It's getting late and..." He walked closer to Toshiya, whispering on the other's ear. "And I wouldn't mind a kiss or two before sleeping."

Toshiya grinned, nipping at Miyavi's neck before he slipped inside the tent, waiting for the other to join him. Ok, so maybe this trip wasn't so bad after all.

Miyavi joined him soon, finding a place for his bag in a corner and laying down on top of the sleeping bag. With a hand, he grabbed the other demon's shoulder, pulling him on top of his body. He looked right on Toshiya's eyes, one finger memorizing his features, running up and down his face.

Toshiya closed his eyes at the touch, sighing softly before he looked down at Miyavi again. He bent down then, kissing him once more, feeling the cool metal of the other's piercings against his lips.

Miyavi groaned softly at the contact, parting his lips a bit to allow the other to deepen the kiss. His hands went up, caressing the demon's back slowly, barely believing that this was happening.

Toshiya pushed his tongue past Miyavi's lips, kissing him slowly and enjoying the way it felt to be so close to the other hybrid.

Miyavi shifted on the sleeping bag, turning on his side and pulling the other closer to him, throwing a long leg over the slim hips. With a breathy sigh, he sneaked the tip of his fingers up Toshiya's shirt, enjoying the feel of soft skin.

Toshiya shivered and slid his hand down over Miyavi's, pulling back some. "Hey, Miyavi..."

Miyavi smiled lazily at him, running his hands up and down the skin just discovered, feeling relaxed and at ease. He whispered, somewhat afraid that a loud voice would ruin the moment. "Mmmm? What is it?"

"You...can pierce my belly button if you want." Toshiya said softly. He knew he trusted Miyavi and he wanted to show that.

Miyavi smiled at him, sitting up to reach for his bag. He took out two disposable needles, antiseptic, gloves and some piercings. "Here, choose one for you and one for me. I want you to do it on my bellybutton first. It will help you to calm down." He leaned forward and kissed Toshiya's mouth quickly and speaking while their lips were still connected. "You really don't need to do it if you don't want to though."

"I will." Toshiya said, kissing Miyavi once more before he looked over the piercings to decide which one he wanted to use. He picked out one with little wings for Miyavi and just a plain metal one for himself. "Ok, how do you do this?"

"Ok, pay attention." He laid down a towel between them and arranged the items on it, body bouncing up and down happily, like an excited kid. "This is the needle. It will make your job a lot more easy." He let go of it and offered Toshiya a pair of gloves still enclosed in it's package. "Put these on when you're ready, then clean the ring and my skin with the antiseptic, open the needle and, now it's the fun part, pierce the skin in one smooth move. When you're done, take out the needle, and put the ring in and you're done." He smiled and laughed a bit, knowing that it could all sound scarily complex. "Don't worry, it's easier then it sounds."

Toshiya nodded slowly and took a deep breath, cleaning off Miyavi's skin and the ring before following the directions as carefully as he could. He watched Miyavi out of the corner of his eye to make sure he didn't hurt him.

"Great, don't worry. Now put the ring in." He barely frowned at the light pain, already used to the sensation. "You didn't hesitate before piercing, have you ever seen your brothers do it or something? You did it perfectly."

Toshiya smiled as he finished and admired his work. "I've seen piercings being done before." He said, leaning over and kissing Miyavi again. "Though I was nervous."

"You did a great work. Now lay down, let me do yours." He grabbed another pair of gloves and pointed to the sleeping bag. "Close your eyes and relax, I will only begin when you're comfortable."

Toshiya laid down and rolled his shirt up, closing his eyes. He took slow, calming breaths, focusing on relaxing thoughts. Like holding Miyavi close and kissing him.

Miyavi made a quick work of the piercing, having done it for himself and some other angels a few times before. With a finishing kiss to Toshiya's lower stomach, he sat up straight, smiling at the other. "So, it didn't hurt, did it? It will be sore for a few days now, but it looks wonderful." He got a small mirror from his bag, handing it to the other.

Toshiya took a look and smiled a little in approval as he gave the mirror back. "It looks nice. You'll have to make sure I remember to take care of it properly."

"Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it for you." He sprayed the appropriate medicine on Toshiya's belly and fixed his shirt, laying down right after, patting the place beside him. "Come here now."

Toshiya laughed and settled against Miyavi's side, kissing the other's cheek. "We should sleep now."

Miyavi snuggled closer, holding Toshiya by the waist and sighing. "We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow right? You're probably right." Kissing the other's temple, he closed his eyes, waiting for sleep to claim him. Even with so much in his mind troubling him, it was easy to relax beside the brunnete. "Good night beautiful."
