Of Fire and Water

“Yet another beautiful day in GenSouKai…” Touda yawned widely, and stretched as he sat comfortably on his perch, which was made up of one of the highest branches of a tree in his ‘grove’.

Though Touda didn’t officially claim any real territory of GenSouKai, he *did* feel that this particular spot in the forest was his home. He was about 12 or so miles away from the nearest city, more specifically a walled-city, and the very city that Soh’s family ran.
He knew well enough that SohRyu’s family lived in the same castle as Enmadaioh, but he never really paid much attention beyond that minor fact. It’s not like he frequented the city, but he knew much about the way things were run within his world, despite the fact that he avoided most societies.

The snake god was currently mulling over the various rumors that had made their way through the forests. He knew of many of the current events that were happening with the water dragons, including certain rumors of a possible war breaking out between the fire dragons and their current rulers, the water dragons. Touda snorted, he was beyond the reach of that hierarchy, and so such things didn’t really concern him. Let them have their ladder of rulers and servants, so long as they didn’t try to force him into that hierarchy, he didn’t care who was in charge for the Golden Emperor.

Those rumors though, brought the snake’s thoughts closer to a certain water dragon that he hadn’t seen in weeks. He remembered well that meeting he had with SohRyu, and the promise of an interesting new take on their already existing relationship. He was more than curious about the idea of bedding the dragon, though he didn’t have much experience in such matters at all. What’s more is he was wondering just how they would be able to keep such a relationship away from the always prying eyes of the rest of the world. It would be very difficult considering SohRyu’s position, and Touda knew that had the dragon been any other person, he was sure that things may not have been so complicated, and they might have been lovers much sooner. But then, the risk alone was enough to tear Touda’s mind in two different directions. Part of him desperately wanted to avoid anything that might make his life difficult in having to deal with the possibility of their love affair getting exposed, but another part of him found the idea rather amusing and the possibility of corrupting the regal dragon in such a way was a very attractive concept.

A soft growl rolled its way out of his deep chest when his thoughts turned into a more dangerous direction. SohRyu wanted him to ‘complicate’ him, and that meant of course, he wanted to be taken by the snake. Or at least that’s what Touda was assuming as the idea of allowing SohRyu to dominate him was the reason for that very growl in the first place. Touda suddenly realized that he would probably have to fight SohRyu for dominance in their relationship, and that prospect brought a very wide smile and purr from his thin lips. To him, such a thing was nothing more than a game, and he did so enjoy the thought of roughing that damnable dragon up.

But, as weeks passed, Touda had begun to figure that the chance for such a game was growing dimmer. SohRyu was such a busy man, learning the ways of politics and social rules. All of which was necessary for when he would replace his old man as the next ruler. The snake god chuckled, oh how SohRyu must be enjoying such things.

His brooding was interrupted when he felt the tug of someone trying to enter his mind through magic means. At first, the snake tensed, the hairs on the back of his neck bristling as he let out a surprised hiss from the intrusion, but then, a very familiar voice touched his mind, and the snake god relaxed.

//Touda…it’s been awhile since we’ve last been able to speak…//

The voice belonged to none other than SohRyu, to which Touda let out a vocal snort, and responded sharply,

//Your ability to point out the most trivial of obvious-nesses astounds me dragon…//

SohRyu could tell that the snake god was not pleased, but he was hard pressed to figure out if it was over the simple fact that they had not spoken in awhile, or if Touda was letting him know that he didn’t appreciate having his mind played with. SohRyu suspected the latter for some reason, and he responded with just as much coldness,

//I have been very busy Touda, you know my schedule is tight…this is the only way I can really contact you, aside from sending a messenger… and considering the content of such a message, I would not trust it with another person. And of course there is the simple fact that I know such a messenger would never be heard from again once they ran into *you*//

Touda detected the usual amount of haughtiness from the water dragon that he was used to, and the added insult at the end. A small smile spread across his handsome features as he knew that SohRyu was being much more himself than he had been on that last day they spoke. Though neither of them could really see what the other was doing, out of habit, Touda simply shrugged, but Soh knew the snake god well enough to assume what he did when the snake made no obvious answer.

//Look…I contacted you because..well..I wanted to let you know that I have the rest of this day to myself.//

SohRyu was already blushing despite the fact that he knew Touda couldn’t see him. But the dragon found it hard to say what he’d really like to say to the snake god, and cursed himself for the lack of bravado he had this day. Things were so much easier to say when he was in the presence of the snake god. SohRyu felt that whenever he was near Touda, he was consumed with an overwhelming desire to ravage the other man, and forget all of the normal rules of tact and protocol that had been ingrained into him since he was a boy. The lithe snake god had such an effect on the dragon’s senses that he honestly couldn’t stand being around him on some days, especially when he wanted to get anything done.
Course, though Touda made him be a little more blunt on certain topics, he also filled the water dragon with an overwhelming amount of angst, and SohRyu didn’t enjoy that feeling at all, but, since he’d been brave enough to get Touda to agree to a love affair, he knew that a lot of that angst would be released once they finally consummated their deeper relationship.

He shuddered involuntarily when he felt the touch of Touda’s mind in his own, the feeling a little more sensual than it normally was, //So…I suspect that statement is an informal way of saying… ‘Come hither?’//

SohRyu choked slightly, damnable snake, then responded, //Yes…I suppose that is…what I am trying to say. I know you don’t relish the prospect of entering the city, but…if you would come to my quarters… that would be most prudent.//

An eyebrow arched on Touda’s end, it was very true, and he did not like the idea of having to enter the city at all. But he supposed he could humor the dragon, it shouldn’t be so bad once they were alone, so he gritted his teeth and exhaled noisily before finally responding,

//Very well… I will make myself present in your office as soon as possible…//

And then the link between them was cut off and SohRyu was left with several chills at the idea of all the things that would possibly take place once the snake god entered the closed quarters. There was no question of privacy in here, and SohRyu knew it. No one *dared* to bother the dragon god while he was working in his private office, and so he felt this was the best place to be alone with Touda, aside from in the forest, where Touda resided.

SohRyu found himself passing the next hour or so by settling back into his chair at the desk and continuing all the paperwork he needed to get done for that day, despite the fact that he had been given that afternoon off. It was certainly better than pacing the floor and waiting for the snake god to show up. SohRyu felt that such a thing would be disrespectful, and a little more than odd considering what this meeting between them was sure to lead to. Again, another shudder, and a wave of panic shot through the regal dragonlord’s mind.

-Am I really going through with this…?!- he was thinking to himself suddenly –I have always wanted this…but…is it the right time…-

He was biting his lip vigorously by the time Touda arrived, and when the door was abruptly shut behind the snake god, the sound startled the brooding dragon god and he bit down hard on his lip, cutting the fine skin and bringing blood to the surface, but he ignored the minor cut to look up from his desk with wide and startled eyes at Touda.

Touda, was of course, very relaxed. With his arms folded across his chest, he leaned into the door and regarded the water dragon with an even and calm gaze. His crimson colored eyes glittering with amusement. SohRyu blushed softly, and looked down at his paper work, not exactly sure what to say. He cleared his throat and began to file papers when he found that he was at a loss on what to do.

It was Touda who sighed and rolled his eyes, easily catching the dilemma the beautifully regal dragon was having.

He spoke, and his words were soft, and very sensual, or at least the atmosphere in the room made it seem that way, “So then…you have me here, and I am guessing by the lack of talk on your end, that now that you have me, you have no idea what to do with me. Well shall I give you a few suggestions?”

His words stung the dragon’s ears and his pride, and he lifted his gaze to glare hard at the snake god, which only brought a wider smile from the other’s lips. SohRyu leaned back into his plush chair, his robes, though the normal regalia of one of his station, were loose, and exposed much of his fine skin and muscle beneath them. His lips were pursed together tightly and several responses came to mind for the dragon god to counter with, but he sucked in his breath as Touda tilted his head to the side and kicked away from the door to stride up to him in several small steps, then tower over him with one hand firmly grasping the arch of his chair, and the other hand planted palm down on the desk.

Touda’s fiery orbs caught Soh’s cerulean blue one’s and any remnants of anger that had been rising in the normally anal dragonlord’s throat was quickly swallowed. The closeness they shared now seemed much more suffocating than it had ever been in the past, and SohRyu began to feel as helpless as he always had in the other’s presence.

Touda picked up on that feeling, and he enjoyed the vulnerability of the other, but he knew that it wouldn’t last very much longer, especially when things heated up between them, but, Touda knew that he would win out, and was thoroughly enjoying the prospect of taking the dragon god.

SohRyu opened his mouth, attempting to start a conversation of some sort, feeling that perhaps it would be much more pleasant if they exchanged a few words before getting right to the good part. But that part of his rational mind screamed at him from the inside. Such a thought was positively ridiculous! And with Touda?! He swallowed hard and leaned even further into his chair as Touda came down on him just a slight more.

Words were unnecessary at this point, both men knew it. Touda had only been called here for one reason, and one reason alone. And it seemed the snake was only interested in fulfilling that role. And somewhere in the back of his mind, SohRyu felt that he didn’t enjoy that at all, he wanted Touda to feel more for this affair than what it was actually representing. His expression was starting to betray such a thought when his brows began to knit together into a frown, but before he could get the words out of his lips, Touda was on him, their lips connecting in the same deep kiss that Touda had broken before. SohRyu was a little shocked at first, not exactly expecting something like that to happen so quickly. But soon he was returning the kiss, his arms lifting to wrap around the other god’s strong neck, fingers tangling into long onyx locks.

Touda enjoyed the reaction he got from the other, and purred softly into their kiss, slipping his tongue past Soh’s lips, who parted them easily for the intruding tongue. They spent the next few minutes exploring each other’s mouths, Touda taking the kiss as deep as he could, tasting everything the other had to offer, and Soh, moaning softly as he attempted to fight back and gain some control in the situation.

Absently, SohRyu began to rise from his chair, thinking of pulling the lithe snake god over to a couch and begin to explore all the curves of Touda’s body that he had always wanted to touch. But Touda had other plans, instead, when he felt the dragon begin to rise from his chair, Touda lifted him, then roughly slammed him onto the desk forcing many files and papers to fly from its surface in the sudden act.

SohRyu gasped loudly, and tried to regain his balance, attempting to get to his feet and get off of the rough surface of the desk. But Touda was on him in a matter of seconds, his hands deftly removing Soh’s robes, then running his slender fingers over a shoulder, then down Soh’s chest and stomach, to which Soh stopped all his struggling in order to relax and lean his head back to give another gasp, but this one was much more pleasant.
It was a sound that Touda was looking for, and he continued his assault on the other’s skin, adding kisses to the dragon’s jaw and throat, slipping his tongue across the other’s jaw line, then clamping down on an ear lobe and suckling gently.

Meanwhile his hands were busy running their way every which way across Soh’s body, pushing the robes down even further wherever he encountered them, until they finally fell to the floor in a heap and the regal dragon lord was exposed completely. Touda pulled away to marvel at the perfection of SohRyu’s form, his eyes following the curve of his torso, to his hips and thighs. He licked his lips unconsciously as he locks his gaze on the prize between Soh’s legs, to which the dragon, who had lifted his head to watch Touda, blushed deeply and swallowed hard. Touda’s gaze seemed to awaken a heat deep inside of the dragon, and his partially erect member twitched when Soh shuddered with the thought of what Touda might do to him.

He wouldn’t have to wait very long though, as Touda was already pulling Soh up further onto the desk, and opening his legs. Soh opened them willingly, sucking in his breath as Touda began to deposit kisses along his well defined abdomen, then lick along his naval all the way down to the root of his desire. Soh moaned slowly, his hands reaching down to grasp at Touda’s hair when he felt the other’s soft tongue along his member. Touda worked the thing surprisingly well for someone who had never done such a thing before, but both of them knew that most of this encounter was made up solely of instinct, and the need to sate a desire they both had for each other. Touda worked his tongue along the now fully erect shaft, licking from the very tip, all the way to the base, where he slipped down even further to lick along Soh’s sensitive sac. This caused the dragon god to arch greatly, his fingers twisting into Touda’s hair as he hissed.

“No….this is so unfair Touda….” Despite the complaint, SohRyu was still moaning, his toes curling slightly with each new lick that Touda deposited on his sensitive regions.

He nearly cried out when he felt the snake god’s tongue touch the tight hole even further below, his body giving another shudder as he experienced so many new pleasures that the other was unceremoniously giving him. Somehow the thought of Touda tasting him in such a manner turned the dragon on to even greater heights, so much so that he twisted and turned, attempting to feel more, but at the same time escape that wonderful torture.

Touda chuckled, giving a final lick before pulling away from the heated hole, licking his lips and purring at the taste of Soh still present on his lips. SohRyu released his grasp on Touda’s hair and lifted his head to look at Touda incredulously, wondering why the other had stopped. But Touda simply smiled and whispered in the most sensual voice Soh could have ever imagined coming from the reclusive snake’s lips:

“What is it you desire…?”

SohRyu shivered again, his eyes closing tightly as several hundreds of thoughts entered his mind. How could the snake god ask him such a question? There were so many things he would like to do in that moment, but finally he answered,

“Let me see you…I want to touch and taste you, as you taste me…”

Touda let a loud growl escape him, one that made the dragon lord’s eyes widen, but not in fear so much as in shock at how much that comment seemed to please the snake. Touda stepped away shortly, to begin peeling the tight black leather off of himself, to which Soh propped himself up onto his elbows to watch with hungry eyes. Each article of clothing that fell to the floor was like unwrapping a present at a birthday party, he was given more than an eyeful of immaculate flesh, and wonderfully sculpted muscle. Touda was beyond divine when in the nude. His naked figure was perfection in it’s truest sense. And SohRyu wanted to taste every inch of it.

Once naked, Touda approached the other, slipping up onto the desk and crawling over him, his hair falling down around them, covering them in a blanket of black hair. Once they were face to face again, SohRyu reached out to touch every part of Touda’s body that was in reach. His soft slender fingers tracing invisible lines across taut bronzed skin. His eyes following those traces as his fingers slipped over a shoulder, down one arm, then back up on the inside of that arm, over his collar bone, then tracing slow circles around one supple pec and settling onto a hardened nipple. SohRyu leaned forward to nip gently at the bud, to which Touda’s eyes closed and he arched into the teeth that bit him, giving his own shudder at the touch. But soon SohRyu pulled away, and was tracing his fingers down Touda’s fully developed abdomen, and poked gently into his naval. Once there, Soh sucked in his breath and pulled his hand away. Touda looked at SohRyu questioningly, but SohRyu only offered a wry smile before leaning upwards to kiss him, then, with surprising flexibility, managed to turn himself around underneath Touda so that his head was directly beneath Touda’s fully erect cock.

Touda’s eyes widened, and he knew exactly what SohRyu intended, but marveled at how well the dragon god seemed to be playing this game. Another deep purr and SohRyu knew that Touda was pleased, so as he lifted a hand to pull the erection into his mouth, he felt Touda spread his own legs and take his erection into his mouth. They began to suck each other off gently, heads bobbing up and down as they explored each other’s lengths, offering soft moans and arching into each other, to try and offer their full length. But soon, then found themselves pulling away from each other’s erections, and it was Touda who engaged the next part first. He opened Soh’s legs even wider before slipping down further in between them and retaking his ministrations of SohRyu’s entrance. SohRyu moaned loudly, tossing his head slowly back and forth, but the dragon refused to be outdone by the snake, and so, he pulled Touda’s waist down towards him, and he began his own attack on the other’s entrance.

Touda gave a startled hiss, not expecting the dragon to be so bold, but any thoughts of forcing the other to stop melted away by the pleasant sensations of the other licking him over and over. And soon the two were engaged in a game of who could make the other moan the most.

It seemed neither of them was really winning over the other in this game, and soon, before either of them expired too soon, though there was much to be said about the stamina of a god, Touda pulled away from Soh’s entrance. SohRyu, who was still busying himself with burying his tongue deep inside of Touda’s caverns thought that perhaps he’d won out on this game, and that he would be able to claim his prize by mounting the unruly serpent.

Touda slipped off of the desk and made his way to the other side so that he would once again be between SohRyu’s legs. SohRyu, on the other hand, was beginning to sit up, thinking that he was fully in control, but was given a surprise when he felt Touda’s strong hand push him back down onto the desk roughly, then grab him by the thighs and tug him downward a bit so that Soh’s rear sat comfortably against Touda’s groin. The blue dragon blinked, passion still heavy in his eyes, but managed to open his mouth partially to try and question the snake, as he watched the other who stood at the end of the desk.

Touda smiled wickedly and leaned forward to kiss SohRyu, who, though wanted an explanation, greedily took the kiss, and was loathe to allow the other pull away so soon, but Touda was the stronger of the two, and so he pulled away.

By that time SohRyu understood that he had lost this bout of dominance between them, and though part of him was angered, the other part simply wanted to be taken, and so, he ignored the former of the two and leaned his head back, moaning softly as he felt the hardness of Touda’s erection rub up against his entrance.

Touda’s eyes were closed, and he was grinding softly against SohRyu’s rear, enjoying the sensation, but soon, he felt that unfamiliar pang again, deep inside, and he recognized what it was now. When his eyes opened again, there was a dangerous fire reflecting in their depths, one that SohRyu recognized, but didn’t seem to fear. He knew the snake was going to claim him now, and he was ready.

Touda slipped inside the other without much preparation, or care, and so SohRyu winced, and even cried out softly as he was stretched so suddenly. He knew he would bleed but, though there was a strong wave of pain that wracked his body, he also felt a vast amount of pleasure at being filled. And so, he moaned, which seemed to be the cue that Touda was waiting for, and so he began his onslaught. Thrusting deeply into the other up to the hilt, then pulling out just as quickly.

SohRyu felt himself being jolted with each new thrust that Touda made, but he didn’t mind, he was focusing on the feeling of Touda’s thick length deep inside of him, groaning and arching into each thrust, even adding his own thrusts downward as much as he could in such a position. Touda’s rhythm was unbalanced at first, fast at first, then slow, then fast, then slow again, but soon, the snake settled into a slower rhythm, and both men were moaning heavily as Touda pulled in then out again.

SohRyu’s passion was building up to its climax, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to last much longer, so in the midst of being filled, he slipped his hand down to grasp his own erection, beginning to work the hot length quickly, stroking it with as much speed as Touda slammed into him. The dragon felt himself tighten inside, knowing that it was coming on fast, and so he leaned his head backward, mouth opened in a silent scream as he spilled his seed all over his hand and stomach, gobs of the pearly liquid getting all over the place with the force of his climax.

Touda felt SohRyu tighten inside, and that was enough for the snake’s own limit, feeling himself draw up tightly, and give a long and loud growl as SohRyu squeezed his erection with his own climax, and then, Touda released, filling SohRyu with all of his seed, riding the orgasm out as best he could as he felt the muscles in his thighs threaten to give out under him. But the stronger snake god refused to be humiliated in such a way, and so he held on, his knuckled going white as he grasped the edge of the desk and leaned into SohRyu while he emptied himself completely and deep inside of the other.

Both men were panting for air once they were finished, and Touda finally slipped out of SohRyu, and slowly, very slowly, backed up while lifting a hand to grasp at his forehead. SohRyu watched the snake stumble about slowly, and chuckled, knowing that Touda had thoroughly been whooped just as much as he had by their coupling. He lifted himself up as casually as he could and pulled strands of blue hair that were now plastered to his fine figure by sweat. Both of them simply stared at each other in silence for a long moment, trying to calm their breathing.

Once both men seemed to be relaxed again, SohRyu got up from his desk, and made his way to the sleeping quarters that were adjacent to his office and connected by a single door. There he had a large and comfortable bed, but he passed this and made his way into the bathing room.

Touda was collapsed against the soft couch in the office when SohRyu returned with towels to offer to Touda to clean himself off. And so they spent the next few minutes in silence once again until both men were cleaned. When they were both comfortable and settled into the couch wrapped in a blanket SohRyu finally spoke,

“It was every bit as I had imagined it to be.”

Touda simply grunted and yawned, leaning into the dragon god and resting his head on the other’s shoulder, “We have perhaps a few more hours together before I should probably leave…”

SohRyu sighed and nodded, “Of course…”

He looked down at the snake god and tensed as if he was prepared to ask something, but then relaxed again, shaking his head slowly and deciding that he didn’t want to ruin this somewhat sweet moment they were having together. He figured he could always ask Touda later how he might feel about their new relationship. Perhaps it was simply to early to tell, but perhaps some part of SohRyu feared that he wouldn’t like the response that the reclusive snake would give him.

Touda was already falling asleep, his breathing slow and even, their coupling seemed to have taken it’s toll on the powerful serpents stamina. And so SohRyu found himself wrapping the blanket tighter around both of them. They only had a few hours together before Touda would have to leave, and there was something about the way Touda looked as he slept so peacefully in the dragon lord’s arms that gave SohRyu a strong and very familiar sense of warmth.

He knew what he was feeling for Touda in that moment, and it didn’t surprise him. Despite the fact that Touda was so untouchable in so many ways, he was still a being that felt and thought like so many others in their world. Even if he was somewhat of a dangerous individual, and Soh knew it was never wise to play with fire, especially one as unpredictable as Touda. He couldn’t help but wish things could have been different for both of them in that moment. And then there was the threat of war on the horizon.

How would his family decide things should a war break out between them and the fire dragons? What’s more was, how would the reclusive snake god be involved in such a thing? SohRyu sighed and lifted a hand to gently run his fingers across Touda’s head in a loving pet. He prayed that things never come to that in that moment and even went so far as to curse the politics that he lived by each day. And what of Touda? Surely there was no where the snake could run to and hide if he wanted to avoid the war. SohRyu looked down to Touda and tilted his head, feeling sleep slowly start to ebb its way through his own body. Would Touda be forced to choose a side, and if so… which side would the snake find himself on?

When sleep started to take him, the water dragon drifted off into the darkness wondering if a creature like the Hellfire god was capable of feeling or showing something as complicated as love. And wondering just how long they might have together, if things turned sour.
