It had been a long week. Tension in the apartment had been steadily rising. Even moving from Paris to Venice hadn't helped. It had actually made it worse somehow.
One week since Chihaya had 'sort of' made his feelings clear to Kagetsuya. After the initial denial when Kagetsuya had vehemently exclaimed the Chihaya wasn't sick, there was nothing. In fact Kagetsuya was hardly speaking to him. It was beginning to wear on the beautiful angel's nerves.

Chihaya walked down the narrow cobblestone streets, wishing he had worn more on his feet than the roman sandals he had bought the day before. The stones were big enough to be felt through the soles. The sun was hot, beating down unmercifully on his slight frame, with only a t-shirt and shorts to protect him. He shaded his eyes from the glare off the canals, wishing the place was a bit gentler on the nose. Too hot, muggy, smelly and painful was the decision for Venice. Not to mention it was crowded with loud, obnoxious, rude, ugly, fat Italian women. And the men were worse.
"Knock it off, Chihaya," he murmured to his uncharitable thoughts. "You're just feeling like crap, and taking it out on Venice. Can't let this get into my report to Michael-sama. He'd blow up the earth in a second."
He slipped into the building, catching the squeaky screen door before it slammed shut. He jogged up the stairs, lit only with a swinging bare bulb. The apartment was a bit better than being out on the streets. Maybe.
The door was locked..
Naturally.
He tried his key, to find Kagetsuya had locked the door with the chain as well.
He knocked three times without luck. Leaning his back against the door, he sighed. "Dammit. KAGETSUYA!!! LEMME IN!" He shouted, kicking the door with his heel. His mood was moving rapidly from Bad to Worse.
"KAGETSUYA, YOU JERK!! LET! ME! IN!!!"
"You don't have to yell your head off," Kagetsuya said as he opened the door.
Chihaya began to fall backwards into the doorway, and caught himself on the edge of the frame. Pulling himself up, he whirled, and stalked coldly into the apartment.
"My, you're in a black mood," Kagetsuya casually observed, closing the door quietly. Ice cubes clinked in the glass of water he carried. He re-locked the door, and walked to the sofa, his bare chest catching a soft breeze.
"Is that a colour crack? Of course it is. What else should I expect from a normal angel?" Chihaya stomped to the refrigerator. "I bet there's no juice left, too."
"If there isn't, it's because you drank it. What's with you?" Kagetsuya asked. Chihaya's face was sullen. The gently shadowed room complemented Chihaya perfectly, Kagetsuya thought to himself.
"I am fine," Chihaya replied testily. He poured the last of the juice into a glass and went to the living room window. He moved his hand through the sheer cream fabric, and looked out at the bright street. The Earthians were busy with their lives, running to and fro. A pair of lovers walked down the street, hand in hand, looking content with the world.
"I guess," Chihaya murmured, almost too softly for Kagetsuya to hear, "that you wish Aya was your partner."
Kagetsuya blinked. "Aya's a minus checker. Like me. Two minus checkers can't be paired together." He finished his water and out the glass on the end table. He leaned forward, watching Chihaya intently. The sweet faced boy had his forehead against the glass, wisps of his exotic black hair brushing his cheek.
"What difference does that make? It doesn't have to stop you from wishing she were your partner."
Stars glistened of Chihaya's long lashes. The tears gleamed in the sunlight, seeming brighter for the dark room.
"Chihaya, I couldn't care less about Aya being my partner. I'm satisfied with you. Though I'd wager she'd not get me into the troubles you get us into. I have a feeling Miyagi doesn't get shot at."
The shining star fell, leaving a sparkling trail.
"Chihaya," Kagetsuya crossed the room. "There is nothing wrong with you as my partner. There have been times when I could have reported things about you so that you'd be recalled to Eden, but I never have."
"Why?"
"Because... because I... couldn't bear to part from you," Kagetsuya murmured. He put his hands on Chihaya's shoulders. "Don't cry, Chihaya. You don't have to cry." Kagetsuya nuzzled Chihaya's silken, fragrant hair, and slid his arms around Chihaya's slender shoulders.
"Kagetsuya!" Chihaya exclaimed breathily, head raised, and looking back toward him.
Kagetsuya turned Chihaya around and drowned himself in his exotically beautiful red eyes. "You're beautiful. There is nothing wrong with the way you look. You're wonderful, kind, and most of all, the sexiest creature I have ever laid eyes upon. My exquisite Chihaya," Kagetsuya whispered, leaning down to cover Chihaya's lips with his own.
Chihaya's eyes slowly closed as he leaned into the kiss. Kagetsuya's hands slid down his back, one finally resting on a hip, the other on the small of his back.
"Chihaya," Kagetsuya murmured, his lips brushing Chihaya's as he spoke.
"Kagetsuya..."
"Gomen nasai. I had to think for a bit after Paris. The thought of anything ever happening to you hurts me inside. I've felt it for a while, but I could only just admit it to myself in this week. Here I am, a man. But what I want to do is chase you around like a love-sick puppy, hoping that somehow you'll let me catch up to you."
"Kagetsuya," Chihaya whispered in amazement, eyes wide.
Kagetsuya loved that startled look, Chihaya's eyes so wide and innocent looking. How he yearned to pluck that innocence like plucking a flower in the spring.
"But I always felt it was wrong. You're my partner and you trust me. How could I abuse that trust? Ah, but to see your face light up when I swoop in for your rescue. I wanted so badly to see that look on your face when I just walk in the door after being out for a bit."
"It always did. I've always wanted more from our relationship, Kagetsuya. You're so big, and strong. You protect me and make me feel safe. You're everything I've ever wanted in a lover."
Kagetsuya pulled Chihaya to him roughly, and pressed his lips to Chihaya's hungrily. Chihaya's muffled exclamation turned into a moan of pleasure as Kagetsuya's tongue quested for his, and Kagetsuya's hands slid down Chihaya's sides.
Kagetsuya slid his hands under the hem of Chihaya's shirt, and pulled it up over the back angel's head. He slowly sunk to his knees, pulling Chihaya down with him.
"You taste so good," Kagetsuya said quietly, kissing Chihaya's throat.
Chihaya titled his head to the side, encouraging Kagetsuya's ministrations. Kagetsuya brushed his fingertips over the sensitive skin of one of Chihaya's nipples, rewarded by a gasp of pleasure from the younger boy. He pushed Chihaya onto a soft white rug on the floor, and put his lips over the nub. He began to roll it around, nipping it lightly, and sucking on it. His hand pinched and played with the other nipple, torturing the rock hard nub.
Chihaya panted, his eyes closed. His arm snaked around Kagetsuya's head, as the waves of pleasure roared from his chest through his body.
Kagetsuya's hand slid over the satiny smooth skin of Chihaya's flat belly, and, rescuing his head from Chihaya's grasp, he followed it with his lips. He dipped his tongue into Chihaya's navel, enjoying the gasp from him, and the tightening of his belly, while his hands deftly unbuttoned the cut off shorts. He slid them down over Chihaya's slim hips, loving the satiny bare skin that his hands slipped over, as he pulled them off. He slid his own short off after that, tossing them over his shoulder.
Kagetsuya sat back, and openly marveled over Chihaya's nude form.
"What are you looking at?" Chihaya asked, blushing self-consciously.
"You," Kagetsuya answered, eyes greedily drinking in Chihaya's body; from his elfin features, down over his chest, flat stomach, over his sex, now fully aroused, standing amidst the beautiful dark curls, down to his small feet. "You're so beautiful," he murmured, leaning down to kiss a graceful thigh.
Chihaya swallowed hard as Kagetsuya's lips traveled over his leg, leaving a feeling of liquid fire that caused his stomach to knot, and the throbbing, exquisite pain in his groin to ache in need. He closed his eyes as the kisses began to trail up his inner thigh, while strong hands caressed his hips. The teasing kisses switched legs and moved down, causing Chihaya to moan in frustration. The feeling was building up, crying for release. He slid one of his hand down toward the centre of the pain, with only the desire of satisfying the need that had all his nerves screaming.
Kagetsuya saw the hand moving down, and blocked it with a smile. "No, m'dear. Only I will receive you."
Chihaya kicked his feet in frustration. "Then DO it!!" He cried out. He punctuated this with another cry of frustration, which became a mewling sound as Kagetsuya's lips touched the base of his shaft, and slowly began to kiss down to the end. He pulled the tip in his mouth, gently sucking, tasting the bead of salty-sweet moisture that had gathered, testament to his arousal. He ran his tongue around the sensitive skin, feeling Chihaya's heartbeat throb. He suddenly slid his mouth downward, taking all of Chihaya in his mouth at once, feeling him nudge the back of his throat.
Chihaya gasped, and arched his back, grasping at empty air as the knot tightened even more. The waves of pleasure threatened to drown him as Kagetsuya moved up and down his shaft, the wet cavern of his mouth hot.
Kagetsuya moved upwards, sliding Chihaya along his tongue until only the barest tip remained in his mouth. He paused for a moment to suck on him, before plunging back down the length of him, and then repeated the process. He continued this until Chihaya's quaking form stiffened, and his moans became shouts. He stopped moving just before Chihaya orgasmed, and sat up. Chihaya swore, earning a startled expression from Kagetsuya. Chihaya arched his hips, a tear squeezing from a closed eye.
"Kagetsuya, please!" He moaned hoarsely.
"With a smile, Kagetsuya took Chihaya in hand and began to rub with quick motions. With a cry, Chihaya came, his seed spilling into one of Kagetsuya's waiting hands.
Chihaya lay panting, his heartbeat wild, blood roaring in his ears. He felt Kagetsuya's lips on his, gently sucking on Chihaya's lower lip.
Kagetsuya carefully pulled Chihaya onto his lap. His hand, wet with Chihaya's seed, probed Chihaya gently, sliding between his cheeks. Chihaya gasped and straightened.
Chihaya felt Kagetsuya's fingers lazily make circles around his opening, making him shiver slightly, and arch his back. He felt a wet finger slide inside of him, and he stiffened. The moist intruder began to explore, and his insides began to tingle. He moaned deep in his throat, liking this very much. The feeling began to mount, and he began to move against Kagetsuya's hand. He pressed the side of his face on Kagetsuya's chest, hands clutching the blonde's biceps, rocking in rhythm.
Suddenly, without warning, the pleasing fingers were gone.
Kagetsuya pulled his hand away from Chihaya's pert bottom, and smiled as Chihaya's gasps of ecstasy turned into a keening of pain.
"Oh, please. Not again. Don't do this to me. Oh, man. Dammit Kagetsuya!!! Finish what you started!!!" Chihaya's begging turned into imperious demands.
"Whatever you say," Kagetsuya said merrily.
His own body screaming for release, Kagetsuya softly kissed his lips as he brought Chihaya gently down onto his throbbing member. He didn't want to hurt the delicate boy, as much as he just wanted to let loose and ram into his waiting body.
As Chihaya felt Kagetsuya press at his opening, he gritted his teeth from the pain, as his body instinctively moved down quickly, impaling himself with Kagetsuya. He heard Kagetsuya gasp as he winced, then growled deep in his throat, as the pleasure thrummed through him. It was more intense than anything he had felt yet, and it overrode all the pain. He began to move up and down, Kagetsuya's wet shaft burying itself deeper and deeper with every thrust. He dug his fingers into Kagetsuya's shoulders, and tipped his head back as he rode Kagetsuya harder and faster. When he thought he could take no more, he came, his body exploding. He fell forward against Kagetsuya with a strangled cry, his body screaming with rapture.
Kagetsuya felt Chihaya climax, the muscles spasming around Kagetsuya. The spasming brought Kagetsuya fully to orgasm, and he spilled his hot seed deep within Chihaya's quivering body. He clutched Chihaya to his as he spent himself, smelling his scent, feeling his sweat-moist skin. The powerful male instinct of 'I did this' made him feel savagely happy, and he crushed his lips against Chihaya's, telling the smaller boy that he claimed him for his own.

"Kagetsuya?"
"Hmmm?"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Did you do this? You didn't have to, just to make me feel better.... though it did."
"Baka! Dammit Chihaya, get a clue, would you?"
Chihaya's lower lip quivered as bit, and Kagetsuya kissed it tenderly. "Didn't I tell you you're beautiful?"
"Mm. Even as a black angel?"
"Yes! Especially because of that. All angels are beautiful, but you're exotic! You're special! You're worth 100 of those 'white angels'. I want to protect you from everything and keep you safe forever. "
"Oh, Kagetsuya!!" Chihaya flung himself into Kagetsuya's arms. "I didn't... I love you so much," he whispered. "Never let me go!!!"
"I won't. I'll hold you forever, my love."
