kind of a sequel to Catharsis
by Macx and Lara Bee
A few years ago the idea would have been ludicrous, Tsuzuki thought
as his eyes strayed around the establishment he was currently in. It was
a small tea house at the outskirts of GensouKai center and it had the most
fantastic cakes. Tsuzuki�s eyes had lit up at the variation of goodies
on display up front. There were also sandwiches of all styles, chocolate
covered fruits, pies, sundaes, ice cream� whatever he wanted. The owners
also prepared hearty meals and sold alcohol, something that appealed more
to his two companions.
Sitting inside the rustic looking room that housed a multitude of chairs,
couches and tables, Tsuzuki was happy with himself and everything. This
was such a great day�
� a day he wouldn�t have dreamed about having say� ten years ago. He
would never have dreamed about coming to GensouKai to share a drink or
a tea with a friend, least of all Terazuma Hajime, and especially not while
in the company of Touda.
As it was, that were his companions.
Tsuzuki had come for a visit because he had not much to do in Meifu,
with all the reports being written already and no new cases in sight. He
would be back in a few hours, he had told Hisoka, who had only waved him
off. His partner knew he could reach him should there be an emergency,
and there wasn�t.
Terazuma had already been in GensouKai and somehow all of them had ended
up in this place. Touda had actually mentioned it, which meant the hell
serpent had come here before.
Touda sipped at his beer.
::Seems your friend hasn�t made that much progress after all::
he remarked almost casually over the link.
Tsuzuki glanced at him over his own drink. ::What�s that supposed to
mean?::
Of course Terazuma had made progress. He and Sohryu were a couple and
it was a serious relationship.
::Sohryu is a dragon, Asato. What do you think it�s supposed to mean?::
Actually he had no clue. ::?::
One black brow rose a little as Touda swirled the last contents of his
beer mug. ::Dragons are real wildcats in bed when they let go, especially
Sohryu::
This time Tsuzuki almost spewed his drink all over the table.
�Ex-cuse me?� he blurted, realizing only then that a pair of confused
red eyes was directed at him.
Tsuzuki rallied for control. �I mean� excuse me for a minute, will you?
Touda.�
He grabbed the serpent�s wrist and pulled the shikigami with him into
the next best corner.
�What the hell were you talking about, Touda?� he queried softly.
�Sohryu.�
�I know we were talking about Sohryu,� Tsuzuki hissed. �What was that
with the wildcat thing?�
�Ah. That.� Touda smiled.
�Yes, that.�
�Didn�t you know?�
�Don�t give me that all innocent crap, Touda. Didn�t I know what? How
would you possibly know about Sohryu, except if you�� Tsuzuki trailed off,
realizing what he was saying � and that Touda wasn�t denying anything.
�You were? You and... Sohryu? When?!�
�It�s been a very long time, Tsuzuki, nothing to worry about.�
�Nothing to worry about?!� Tsuzuki was close to yelling at his shikigami.
�You are talking about Sohryu here!�
�Yes. So?�
�And what about Keijin?�
Touda gave a little sigh. �Keijin wasn�t even born at that time, Tsuzuki,
and has nothing to do with it. Why are you so upset about it anyway?�
�Why am I�� Tsuzuki gaped. �You are telling me oh so casually that you
and Sohryu have been lovers, in a bar, with Sohryu�s partner present, and
you ask why I am so upset about it?!�
The golden eyes held an intense expression, emotions clear in them.
�Sohryu and I were what you�d call teenagers back then, and teenagers experiment.
And don�t ask me if I loved him.�
Tsuzuki stared into the reptilian eyes for a long minute before he turned
to look at their table � and groaned miserably.
It was empty.
No Terazuma in sight.
�He heard,� he moaned.
They had totally forgotten about Terazuma�s fine-tuned senses. Now that
he and the Black One finally lived in a balanced relationship, Terazuma
used his senses almost casually, no longer flinching away from them.
Like now.
When he had heard them talk.
Just great.
Tsuzuki sighed deeply and shook his head.
�Let�s go.�
Touda followed him silently as they left the bar. There was no sign
of the shinigami outside either and Tsuzuki took a moment to think.
�It won�t do you or him any good to follow him, Tsuzuki. This isn�t
your fault.�
�I know! It�s just� I don�t want this relationship to hurt from what
he just found out.�
�Terazuma knew Sohryu had had lovers before him, male and female.�
�But he didn�t know about you, Touda!� Tsuzuki argued.
�True.�
�Neither did I.�
Touda arched an eyebrow. �I didn�t know it was required for a shikigami
to tell his shinigami master about his love life.�
Tsuzuki rolled his eyes. �Oh stop it!�
The serpent smiled. �But I could.�
�Don�t wanna hear it.�
�Oh?�
A glare. �Why? Is there more shocking news somewhere?�
�Actually, you know all about my love life now.�
�Uh-huh��
�Unless you want to know about Byakko and me.�
�No, thanks. I get enough echoes as it is.�
Touda smirked and the two men walked down the road that led deeper into
GensouKai center. Tsuzuki was still worried about Terazuma, but he knew
Touda was right. His friend had to deal with this on his own terms, even
if Tsuzuki wasn�t happy about it.
�So you don�t want to know about me?�
�Nope.�
�How about Rikugo?�
Tsuzuki frowned. �Do I want to know about Rikugo?� he tried to clarify.
Touda grinned.
�You and Rikugo�?� There was sheer disbelief in there. No way. No way
had Touda�. No frigging way!
The shikigami grinned. �No, not me. Sohryu.�
Tsuzuki stopped in mid-step, almost freezing.
Rikugo.
Sohryu.
�Sohryu and� Rikugo!?� he gasped.
�Yep.�
His mind tried to wrap around that particular image and, much to his
surprise, had little difficulty. Two handsome, attractive men�
�They� they were� don�t tell me they still are!!�
Touda laughed. �No. It�s been over for a while.�
�Oh��
Would shocks never end?!
Tsuzuki glared at his shikigami. �So why are you telling me?�
Touda grinned cheekily, something no one would think him capable of.
It was such mischief, Tsuzuki felt a little thrill at seeing his friend
so open.
�I just wanted to see your face when you imagined them together.�
Tsuzuki elbowed him in the ribs, drawing a mock complaint of pain. They
continued on their way, talking amiably together, but Tsuzuki still kept
half a mind on Terazuma, hoping his friend wasn�t too shocked.
° ° °
It had been a shock, plain and simple.
Not that Sohryu had had past lovers. That was a given. The man was centuries
old and he hadn�t spent his time as a celibate monk in some remote convent.
Sohryu had been married, too. Sure, there had been sex. Of course there
had been partners. Male and female. Before he had met his wife and after
she had died. No one could be abstinent for five hundred years.
It also hadn�t been much of a shock, a real shock, that Touda and Sohryu
had been an item. Why not? Touda wasn�t exactly hard to look at and so
what if Sohryu and Touda had slept together? Touda was Byakko�s partner
now and Terazuma knew how much Sohryu loved him.
Well, okay, so it had been a little shock to hear about it. Touda was
a former criminal, a highly dangerous shikigami, and he belonged to Tsuzuki.
It wasn�t really something Terazuma had wanted to know, but now he did.
He had overheard it.
No, it had been something else.
The wild cat comment. That one had stuck like glue.
Sohryu had yet to let go, to really let go and lose control, and control
was something he would never want to give up. In their encounters, as hot
and loving as they had been so far, Sohryu had avoided losing control in
all and every way. Terazuma loved what they did together, how the dragon
made him feel, but what was different between him and Touda? If he had
interpreted the words correctly, Sohryu had let Touda take him, that he
had bottomed.
Terazuma had no problem with being on the receiving end, but he knew
for a fact that Sohryu liked it, too. A few experiments with some agile
fingers had shown him. Why not the whole way?
° ° °
Sohryu stepped into his bed room, stopping when he saw a very familiar
shape sitting on the bed.
�Hajime. That�s a surprise��
Sohryu blinked when the other man didn�t really react, just watched
him from expressionless red eyes, shifting his unlit cigarette between
his lips. Cigarette? Oh great� Terazuma didn�t smoke that much anymore,
but every now and then Sohryu noticed his lover seemed to feel the craving
for nicotine. Or he was just playing with the thing itself, and that was
never a good sign � like now.
�Hajime?�
�Touda, hm?�
�Touda? I don�t understand��
�Bet you don�t,� Terazuma took the cold cigarette and studied
it. �You and that snake?�
�What?� Sohryu�s eyes widened and he sank down on the couch. �What are
you talking about?�
�What�s not to understand, Sohryu? You and Touda were lovers. �
I�ll kill that snake, Sohryu thought, mind whirling.
How had Terazuma heard of that if not from Touda? No one else knew.
Well, some did. Like Genbu. Byakko, too. But they wouldn�t go around blabbing
about it with just anyone.
Then again, neither would Touda.
�Yes, we were. That was a long time ago and I don�t even think about
it anymore. I didn�t think it would be important to you.�
�Oh yes?�
Red eyes flashed and Sohryu winced inwardly. Wrong thing to say.
�You didn�t think it would be important? Hell, you�ve been screwing
Touda, of all people.�
I better not tell him about Rikugo�
�What�s the problem, Hajime? You know I had lovers before. I was married,
for crying out loud. And I don�t ask about your past either.�
�It�s not a matter of asking. My former lovers aren�t around me day
by day, aren�t bonded to a colleague of yours.�
�So that�s it. You�re jealous?�
�I am not jealous!�
�Looks like that to me. I assure you, Hajime, Touda and I were almost
seven centuries ago, more than ten times your lifetime. We were young,
we grew up together. And if I may remind you, I sentenced Touda to prison,
I put him into the restraints of that control mechanisms -- which must
have been damn painful, by the way � and I tried him again when I thought
he had misused his bond to Tsuzuki, had abused our trust. I would have
been the one to put him to death if the verdict had been guilty, former
lover or not. I love you.�
�Enough to put the same trust in me that you had put into Touda?� Terazuma
said softly and Sohryu blinked in confusion.
Huh? Now what? How had they come from the hidden accusations to trust?
�What do you mean? Of course I trust you��
�Enough to let me take you?�
What?
�What?�
Where had that come from all of a sudden?
�Would you let me top, Sohryu?�
Okay, he was officially confused now. From Touda to being top? What�?
How�?
They had never talked about positions in bed. It was almost natural
the way they slept together, came together, that Sohryu would be the one
on top, though he had no true preferences there.
Well, he hadn�t had, he reminded himself. With Touda, they had switched.
With Terazuma�He had been new to the whole thing, with loving a man,
and Sohryu had simply taught him� about pleasure� about feeling good�
�Are you dissatisfied? Hajime � �
�That�s not it� you�re gentle and� I�m not a woman, okay?� Terazuma
snapped.
�I never thought of you as a woman.�
Of course he hadn�t. Sohryu would never project anything into Terazuma
that the shinigami wasn�t. Terazuma Hajime was a man: there wasn�t a female
part about him. Sohryu knew those hard planes, the muscles rippling under
warm skin, the arch of the slender form against his touches, the hot arousal
his fingers loved to tease. No, he would never treat him or think of him
like a woman.
�Hajime, when we met the very concept of male loving was completely
alien to you. I didn�t want to hurt you � or be hurt for that matter.�
�That was months ago! You still treat me like I�d break!� the shinigami
accused him.
�I didn�t want to scare you by demanding something you�re not ready
for.�
Red eyes almost glowed with anger. �I�m not fragile! You want something
harder, a little rougher, then show me! Tell me! Let me decide! Or do you
think that once you started, you can�t stop? Or that I can�t stop you?�
Sohryu gazed into the emotionally contorted face. �What is this really
about, Hajime? What do you want from me?�
�I don�t know, okay?� Terazuma almost yelled at him. �I just� stop behaving
like I�m some kind of porcelain doll! I want to see you wild and undone,
Sohryu. I love you! I want your passion, not some watered down version
of it!�
�You have it,� the dragon said softly.
�I want it completely,� Terazuma repeated.
Sohryu interlaced their fingers and leaned forward, brushing their lips
together. �You have it,� he repeated tenderly. �I�m sorry you�ve felt like
this so far.�

Red eyes gazed at him, then Terazuma responded to the kiss, opening
up as Sohryu explored his mouth.
When they finally separated, Sohryu smiled a little more. �Want to get
a breath of fresh air?� he asked.
Terazuma raised both eyebrows. �Fresh air?�
�It�s what I had planned on doing today. Get out of here, far away from
work and the matters of GensouKai. You and me, and no one else.�
�I�d like that,� was the soft reply.
Sohryu rose, pulling his lover with him. �Let�s go before someone discovers
my plans.�
Terazuma chuckled and followed him.
° ° °
Sohryu inhaled deeply as he stretched his wings and launched into the
crisp air. He hadn�t been in this part of GensouKai for ages, hadn�t visited
his �winter residence� in the mountains for more than five hundred years.
This was a special place to him, full of peace and love, but after his
family had died nothing had pulled him here. His feelings had died with
them and he hadn�t been able to feel peace in a very long time.
The chilly air pulled at his wings and he gave in, adjusting them so
he would glide higher. There was a soft rumble coming from under him and
when he looked down, the Black One roared a friendly challenge at him,
stretching his own wings as he rushed past him. With an answering snarl
Sohryu took it and dove past the form of the black shikigami.
The lion roared and followed.
The chase was on.

From the ground it looked like an elegant dance. Blue against black,
against a cloud dotted sky. Diving, rising, left, right, up, down, falling,
wings snapping open, rising again. It looked effortless, beautiful and
elegant.
°
Sohryu landed smoothly in front of his cabin and changed into his human
form, panting with the afterglow of the race. His skin was flushed, his
hair looked wild, he was so completely not the representative of the Emperor
right now, and he couldn�t care less.
With a soft sound a large feline landed beside him, changing smoothly
from a black lion into a human form, and then he looked into the hot eyes
of his lover. Terazuma was breathing hard as well and the excitement of
their flight was visible on his face.
Closing the distance between them Terazuma sneaked a hand around his
neck and pulled, crushing their lips together in a passionate kiss like
he had never done before, and the very sensation made Sohryu�s blood boil
� damn, he was a dragon after all. He closed his arms around his lover�s
form, feeling Terazuma moan softly as he melted against his body.
�Sohryu�,� he breathed, head falling back and exposing his neck and
throat to the demanding lips.
Grabbing his wrist Terazuma pushed his hand down between their bodies,
placing it on the very obvious evidence of his desire.
Sohryu squeezed gently, causing his lover to buck into his grip and
moan helplessly.
�Want you� now, Sohryu� no teasing��
Sohryu snarled softly and pulled his lover inside.
The way to the bedroom was longer than ever, but finally he pushed Terazuma
onto the bed, watching breathlessly as the shinigami looked up at him with
burning red eyes, letting his legs fall open in a not so subtle invitation.
A growl escaped the dragon and he straddled the slender form, pinning
his wrists to the bed. Red eyes flared, teeth bared in an almost feral
expression, and Terazuma twisted against him. His body thrummed with energy,
an energy Sohryu felt run through his own body as well.
�Hajime�� he whispered harshly, then captured his mouth in a hard kiss.
Terazuma responded with just as much power. There was an unexpected
twist and Sohryu found himself rolled around onto his back with his lover
perched over him. The lithe, muscular form, naked� the black hair tousled,
the red eyes filled with fire� it was the most erotic sight he had ever
seen. He responded strongly to it; very strongly.

He felt the lion inside him stir restlessly. The Black One didn�t want
to come out, but�he wanted more. He wanted� a lot more.
Terazuma bent down onto the long lithe body presenting itself in front
of his eyes, and he claimed his lover�s lips, feeling sweat slick skin
glide over his and stirring a fire that he had felt only once before. Pushing
his knee between the other man�s thighs he parted Sohryu�s legs, settling
between them. He felt Sohryu�s hips twitch when their groins touched, rubbing
their hardnesses together and moan into the kiss. The sweet sound made
him shiver, the Black One mirroring the feeling inside him and sending
it back increased.
More.
He wanted more. He wanted to hear Sohryu moan, helpless with desire,
he wanted to hear him pant, wanted to feel him writhe underneath him, see
his face when he would allow him to come and hear him scream his name.
He wanted to love Sohryu.
For a moment Terazuma was startled, looking down into the lust-filled
blue-gray eyes, dilated with emotions.
Since when had he become so dominant?
Sohryu�s fast breathing reached his senses. He felt the heat rising
from his lover, felt the tension, the shivers, each pulse of blood. His
eyes fixed on the slender column of the throat.
A growl rose inside him.
Screw dominance issues.
He wanted this man. Now.
Terazuma dove into another kiss, claiming his mate, and he got the same
response. Heated, needy, hungry�
The Black One rumbled, the alpha male coming to the forefront. His mate,
his dragon, his lover, his Sohryu.
His.
Just his.
Pushing two slicked fingers inside his lover had Sohryu moan deep in
his throat, replacing his fingers with his hardness in one swift thrust
had him arch his entire body and open his mouth in a silent scream. The
dragon met every deep thrust, arms coming up to pull Terazuma down on him,
into him, the sounds he was making every time Terazuma hit that hot spot
inside him more feral than he had ever heard. The last coherent thing Terazuma
could think of before Sohryu flooded him with his passion was �gods, dragons
are wildcats in bed�.
Thank gods the scratches on his back would heal quickly.
° ° °
Terazuma stroked over the soft skin of his lover�s abdomen underneath
the silk shirt, fascinated by the way the muscles were starting to quiver
when he touched special spots he hadn�t even known were there. They had
been here for about a week now, and slowly the dragon seemed to visibly
relax. When they had made love after chasing each other through the cold
and clear air Sohryu had let go for the first time since he knew him. Terazuma
had taken what he wanted, had given pleasure, had touched and kissed and
licked and stroked, he had left marks on the smooth skin, marks of ownership,
and he had buried himself deep inside the willing body.
Sohryu had surrendered. He had given himself up to his partner completely,
and it had been the most heady experience ever for Terazuma. Both of them
hadn�t needed much foreplay it had been one hot encounter, leaving them
both utterly sated and pleasantly exhausted.
And Terazuma longed for more.
He wanted to feel this again; he wanted Sohryu again.
Blue-gray eyes gazed at him, filled with lazy warmth, love, so many
emotions just for him. They were a far cry from the blue-gray eyes he looked
into when Sohryu was the representative of the Emperor. This expression
was only for him.
�Hajime?� Sohryu asked, voice as lazy as his expression.
Strong hands caressed Terazuma�s skin through the shirt, following unseen
trails as they explored his chest.
�Love you,� Terazuma whispered before stealing a kiss. A long, deep
kiss. One that spoke lengths.
Sohryu moved underneath him, his legs spreading, and the signals were
quite clear. Terazuma let his hands wander, tease and stroke and pet, until
they touched the hard evidence of Sohryu�s arousal still covered by his
pants. The dragon lifted his hips to push into the touch.
�Want you,� Terazuma murmured against one ear before nibbling at it,
following the pointed tip to the lobe.
Sohryu�s gasp was answer enough.
"Mine," Terazuma whispered.
�Yours,� the dragon murmured back.
Hajime started with the buttons, slipping each through the button hole
and exposing more and more skin. Sohryu watched him, an expression of fascination
and arousal on his features. Terazuma leaned forward and kissed the exposed
skin, feeling and hearing the hitching breath. Like unwrapping a package,
he opened the soft material keeping the wonderful body from him and pushed
it past the shoulders and down toned arms. He moved his finger tips over
the strong muscles that he knew lay under the skin.
Terazuma explored and touched and kissed, undressing his lover slowly,
and meticulously. Sohryu moved with his touch, sometimes sighing, sometimes
almost moaning, but never crying out loud. The near silence of this act
was more erotic and arousing than any screams of pleasure.
Finally splayed before him, naked, on the bed, Sohryu was a feast for
the eyes and Terazuma intended to make so much more of it. His own clothes
flew across the room and finally they were both naked. He bent over his
prone lover and started by kissing him. Sohryu responded beautifully, hands
clasping Terazuma, curling around his neck, weaving into his hair in a
caress, and Hajime deepened the exploration of the wet cavern. Minutes
passed as they nipped and licked and lightly bit at the other mouth, tongues
moving together, teasing, darting and meeting.
Terazuma finally moved down the chin and slender column of the throat
and neck, nipping at the tender skin, eliciting a sharp gasp of surprise
as he left a tiny mark at the base. He didn't stop there, just went down
further to the two hardening nubs and gave them his undivided attention.
Sohryu jerked briefly, another gasp leaving his lips, then he started to
squirm.
"Hajime!" Sohryu exclaimed as he gently nibbled at the current object
of his attention.
"Yes?"
He swirled his tongue around the left one, thumbing the other.
A shuddering sigh was the answer.
Terazuma chuckled against the wet, sensitive nub and blew on it, drawing
a soft intake of air. He kissed down south, spending some time with the
belly button before he reached the soft stretch of skin that creased between
the legs, nuzzling it.
Sohryu's legs twitched as he didn't know whether to pull away or curl
up. Terazuma just caught the twisting hips, ignoring the straining arousal
so close by, while he worshipped that hyper-sensitive stretch of his lover.
He drew his tongue in a long lick over the skin, then released the hips.
His fingers ghosted over the shapely legs, feather-light in their caress
and no more than a tickle against skin.
"Terazuma� please�. no� stop�" Sohryu begged, breath coming in pants.
"Stop?" the shinigami murmured and looked up.
He met a pair of passion-glazed, blue-gray orbs. Sohryu was highly aroused,
needy, and he was very close to begging for it.
"Altogether?" he teased.
It got him a dark glare that was nullified by the hot desire warring
against it.
Terazuma gave the proud hardness just within his reach a look, then
reached out and tenderly caressed it. Sohryu groaned.
"I'll stop. Sure." He ran his thumb over the head, drawing a whimper.
"If that's your wish. Too bad, though." Another caress, this time with
more pressure, then another, and he removed his hand.
"Hajime!"
He leaned over the other man, noting with pleasure how far gone Sohryu
was by now. Both their arousals brushed together and Sohryu arched slightly.
"Yes?" the shinigami whispered hotly.
"Don't�"
"Don't what?"
"Don't stop. Need you. Want you."
He placed a soft kiss against the panting mouth, meeting the eager tongue.
Sohryu's arms came up and around him, pressing them together, and Terazuma
heard himself hiccup with barely restrained pleasure as they touched again.
He unconsciously started to rock against the other man, reveling in the
darts of sizzling energy shooting up from his groin. One leg hooked over
his and molded them ever closer.
He didn't have to ask what Sohryu wanted; he knew. He strained slightly
against the hold and Sohryu gave willingly, though his smoldering eyes
told Terazuma that if the shinigami didn't plan on doing something even
better, he'd pay for it.
Oh, he had something planned.
Something much better.
Later.
Now he moved back to the arousal, fingers playing over the satiny skin,
lips and tongue following. Sohryu closed his eyes in pleasure, rocking
into the wet heat that enclosed him, a sigh leaving his lips. Terazuma
gave the pleasure of his partner his undivided attention. He knew what
to watch out for, when to stop with a particularly arousing move. He didn't
want to exhaust Sohryu before the night was over.
After minutes of uninterrupted worshipping, he released his treasure,
hearing the soft protest, and smiled. A kiss quelled any subtle fears and
promised more, then he reached for the nightstand. He opened the drawer
and Sohryu smiled impishly as he saw Terazuma's hand clutching a bottle
of lube.
"Always prepared," Hajime whispered, resuming the kissing and nipping.
"Boy scout," was the breathy reply.
Terazuma grinned, then ran massaging hands over the flat stomach to
the waist. "Turn," he murmured.
Sohryu's expression became one of unrestrained desire as he flipped
on his stomach, exposing his back to Terazuma's hungry gaze. The dark-haired
man leaned forward and kissed the neck, teeth brushing over the skin, drawing
a shiver. He did it again, with a bit more pressure, his own hardness bumping
against the well-shaped butt. The shiver was accompanied by a soft noise.
Drawing his hands along the wonderful back, he massaged, caressed, kissed
and licked until he arrived at his destination, with Sohryu growing more
impatient and pushy, but Terazuma wouldn't let him set the pace. He simply
backed off a second or two until his lover quieted down by force, panting,
movement filled with a fire Terazuma knew would soon explode.
Sohryu languidly moved to all fours, remaining on his elbows and knees.
Terazuma swallowed hard as he took in the sight of this offering. It was
an incredible trust on Sohryu�s part, unable to see his lover, having to
rely on his senses other than sight, and having to completely trust him.
Terazuma caressed the twin mounds, splaying his hands over them. Sohryu
drew a shuddering sigh, trying to relay his need with minute twitches,
and Hajime finally lubed up his fingers and proceeded to gently prepare
him, teasing more and more. He knew Sohryu was more than ready by the mewling
sounds, the impatient twist of his hips, and the hands clenching into the
bed sheets. Legs spread wide, he looked inviting, delicious, wanton� and
Terazuma couldn't wait any longer.
A sigh echoed by his lover escaped his lips as he sank deeply into the
welcome heat. Sohryu's head hung between his shoulders and he moaned softly.
Terazuma ran calming hands over the quivering sides, not wanting this to
be over after a few more thrusts. This was for both of them. He wanted
to take his time.
They moved in sync to an age-old rhythm, lost in their mutual pleasure.
Except for their harsh breathing and the soft encouragements, the sound
of pleasure and demands for more, there was nothing else audible. Terazuma
coaxed Sohryu onto his hands, then drew him up flush against his chest,
long hair spilling down in a cascade of dark blue. He wrapped one arm around
the narrow waist, keeping him anchored, the other stimulating the other
man in rhythm with his own thrusts. He nuzzled the sweaty neck, teeth again
raking over sensitive skin, and Sohryu's gasps grew louder.
Terazuma felt it as his lover came closer to his peak, his movements
becoming more demanding, each letting him slide deep into the welcome warmth,
and he struggled not to simply lose it.
But it was a no-win situation.
In the end he did lose it.
Sohryu's howl of release triggered the avalanche and he couldn't stop,
moving hard and fast, driving into the pliant form, until he reached his
own point of no return, joining his lover in the blissful ecstasy.
°
He wished it would never end.
Laying together, snuggled into the sheet, Sohryu reveled in the closeness
of his lover, the soft sounds around them, the breathing, the heart beat,
the sheer life he felt radiating from Terazuma Hajime. He loved him. Pure
and simple. Sohryu knew this was it for him. He had found what he had been
looking for. In form of an angel of death.
There was lust and love, acceptance and need, desire and then something
deep inside his soul Sohryu couldn't put into words.
He sighed sleepily. An arm wrapped around his middle and Terazuma snuggled
closer.
"Comfy?" came a murmur.
"Very."
"Good."
Sohryu played with the unruly black hair. Terazuma's head lay against
his side, warm puffs of air touching Sohryu's skin.
"Love you," the shinigami murmured.
Sohryu felt something inside of him blossom and bloom, as it always
did in such tender moment. "Thank you for this night," he whispered.
Red eyes peeked at him and a slow smile curled the lips he knew so well.
"Glad you enjoyed it. You needed it."
He most definitely had.
"Love you," he echoed the earlier statement.
Terazuma sighed softly, sounding pleased, and Sohryu pulled the covers
around them. Sleep begged and he followed it gladly, his lover in his arms.

Terazuma sleepily blinked into the dim sunlight straying into the bedroom,
indicating that morning hadn�t quite arrived yet. Gazing over at the other
side of the bed he found his lover still sound asleep � a rare sight, even
after all the time they had spent together. Usually it was Sohryu who was
out of bed first, following the call of duty. But not today. Terazuma watched
the man at his side sleep � indicator of the large amount of trust the
dragon put into him. Sohryu�s face was relaxed, giving Terazuma the impression
of how the dragon must have looked as a young man. Carefree.
The body at his side moved lazily as Sohryu slowly drifted into the
land of the waking, blue eyes cracking open minutely. Terazuma couldn�t
help the wave of tenderness that blossomed inside him. Wrapping his arms
around the still sleep-limp form he brushed his lips over Sohryu�s, feeling
the man stir inside his arms, sighing softly.
�Morning,� Sohryu whispered, snuggling against him, and Terazuma smiled
as be buried his face into the long silken blue mass that was his lover�s
hair.
This was the leader of GensouKai, the mighty Azure Dragon, snuggling
up to him like a kitten � and actually purring like one, too.
�Sohryu?�
�Hm?�
�I�d like to ask you something.�
�What?�
�Would you� tell me about Touda?�
There was a brief hesitation, Sohryu turning into his arms to look at
him questioningly.
�Why?�
�Because.�
�It was centuries ago, Hajime.�
�I know. I want to get to know you better, Sohryu. Who you were, how
to became what you are. Besides, I told you about me, too.�
A fully awake Sohryu gave him a sharp look � and sighed. He snuggled
up into his arms again.
�Touda� he was four years old when his father dropped him at our doorstep,
so to speak, because he was afraid of his own son. My father more or less
adopted him��
Terazuma silently listened to the story about how the child Sohryu had
once been had met a frightened little fire serpent, how they had become
first friends, then brothers and finally lovers. How Sohryu had to step
into his father�s footsteps long before his time, how that had affected
the young man. And finally how he had found the love of his life � and
lost it, leaving behind only a bitter shell, a fragment of the man he had
used to be. Only a very insistent, annoying little terrier named Tsuzuki
had been able to slowly pull the dragon out of his own purgatory, a purgatory
he had lived in for so long.
It gave Terazuma a whole new insight into the man he had come to love
so deeply � and also the man, the colleague, he had resented so much in
the past. He closed his arms tighter around the lithe body, running his
fingers through the long blue strands soothingly and listened while a part
of his mind wandered off to a certain violet eyed shinigami and his bonded
guardian spirit.
He would have to treat his colleague to a large homemade apple-pie.
