Krad woke slowly, like dragging himself out of a swamp, and it took
him a while to really understand where he was. He was lying down, he felt
warm and safe and comfortable. There was someone close to him, as the arms
curled around him and the soft breaths indicated. He enjoyed the warmth,
trying to remember what had happened, but only fragments returned.
After a moment he blinked his eyes open and looked at dark clothing.
He was lying against someone’s chest, his arms trapped against the other,
while his bed partner was holding him securely.
Krad blinked again and craned his neck.
He froze.
His eyes widened.
Dark?!
He pushed away with a gasp, dislodging the warmth. He scrambled back,
mind whirling. Dark opened his eyes, gazing at him, for a moment as confused
as Krad, then he smiled a little.
"Hey. Feeling better?"
Krad opened his mouth, then shut it again. "Why... why are you here?"
"You had a fever. You were freezing."
"So you slept with me?!"
Dark grinned cheekily and Krad felt himself flush. The kaitou reached
for him and brushed over Krad’s cheek. The demon shivered at the contact.
"Looks like your fever’s down," Dark murmured.
Things were happening inside of him. Something curled, spread warmth,
but something else screamed in alarm.
"Krad?"
The gentle voice drew him back and he looked into the deeply violet
eyes os cos counterpart.
"You... you brought me home?" the demon murmured.
"Yep."
"Why?"
Dark frowned. "You were hurt. I couldn’t just leave you there! Don’t
tell me you expect me to do something like this!"
The last was uttered with a mixture of shock and pleading.
Had he expected it? Krad wasn’t sure any more. As of late, his thoughts
and emotions concerning the kaitou were different, mostly a jumbled mix
of unrecognizable feelings. Their mutual silence and stubbornness had been
painful already, but feeling this warmth when Dark touched him...
"Krad? You expected it?" Dark sounded shocked and reached out, but
the demon pulled away.
"We weren’t on the best of terms," he murmured.
"I’d never leave you alone in a situation like this!"
Golden eyes met violet ones and Krad shivered inside. The intensity
of the gaze made him dizzy. His energy levels were close to nil, he needed
to merge with his host, but something about the kaitou held him in place.
"Krad... what happened... I’m sorry. I truly am. I don’t want us to
lose what we have... You’re so much more to me than..." Dark hesitated.
"A friend?" he whispered.
More than a friend?
Krad felt that curl again.
"Of course," he murmured. "Your other half." He lowered his gaze. And
why was that so disappointing when it was what he had always wanted? To
be recognized as something more than a curse?
Dark smiled and placed a hand under the demon’s chin, holding the face
gently, smiling into the confused, golden eyes.
"D...Dark?" Krad asked.
The curl was back with a vengeance and he tried to make sense of it,
but he blamed his weakness, his exhaustion, for it. He wasn’t himself,
all shields were down and Dark... maybe he was using that moment. For what,
though? What would he gain?
And what if there was nothing to gain? What if there was just... this
moment?
Strong fingearesaressed his cheek, then the hand slid up, into his
hair, holding his head securely but without restraining him.
"I don’t want to lose you. Neither in here," he touched his head with
his free hand, "nor here... in this world."
Krad felt his thoughts whirl. He couldn’t deal with what was happening.
He couldn’t comprehend... "W... why?"
Dark smiled ruefully, suddenly unsure as well. "I... I’m not sure how
to... Have you ever loved?" he asked softly.
Krad swallowed, trying to move away, but Dark wouldn’t let him go.
"Have you?"
Had he? Truly loved? He had loved his first host. Unconditionally.
It had been the softness, the strength of the human mind he had been bound
to. He loved his current host. Satoshi was his everything, he belonged
to Krad. No one would ever take him away if the demon had anything to say
about it. It was possessiveness coupled with the positive emotions of belonging,
of being accepted, avinaving something only to himself.
Dark’s smile softened even more and his eyes took on a faraway expression.
"It’s an amazing feeling. Not just the affection of your host, the love
he has for you, but the sheer pleasure of those emotions throughout the
physical act."
A tremor raced through him and Krad fought more against the hold, panicking.
"What do you want?" he demanded, voice rising.
Dark’s expression didn’t change, but his hand dropped away. Krad immediately
missed it and cursed his weakness.
"I loved once. Truly and deeply, and it wasn’t anything connected to
my host. I fell in love with a human woman. Her name was Harada Rika."
Krad’s face showed his surprise and the kaitou chuckled slightly.
"Risa and Riku’s grandmother. I don’t know why it happened. I just
know that those feelings... they were eating me up inside. I went back
to sleep with them, and though I never dreamed in between hosts, the memories
and emotions stayed. She loved me back, Krad. But it was a love never meant
to be. Like that of the men who unwillingly gave us life..."
Krad swallowed. "Why are you telling me this?" he whispered.
"I don’t know. Maybe I want you to understand..." He stopped, then
visibly braced himself. "Maybe I want to understand myself what it is that
has changed between us. Something has changed, at least for me."
He moved closer, his lips a breath away from Krad’s. Golden eyes opened
wide and Krad tried to move away, but Dark simply touched the demon’s lips
with his own.
Krad gave a startled gasp, stiffening, but Dark wouldn’t let him go.
He slipped an arm around the slender waist and held on. Finally he moved
his lips away, smiling tenderly at the stunned man.
"Why?" Krad stuttered, everything crashing down on him like a tidal
wave. He felt control slip away.
Dark brushed a hand across the pale skin. "Because. Did it feel good?"
Krad swallowed. He finally nodded and Dark continued to caress his
face, then placed a little kiss against his closed lips.
"Love can feel very good, Krad, if you let yourself experience it."
Krad’s hands clawed into Dark’s clothes, holding on.
"Stop," he whispered. "Please..."
Dark looked into the clouded, golden eyes. He flicked a strand of hair
out of the handsome face. Krad placed a hand against his chest, as if to
push him away, but he didn’t. It just lay there, light and warm, and Dark
smiled more. In a fight Krad had been so self-assured, so powerful, so
invincible... but on an emotional level he was like a child. Everything
was new and wonderful for him. He had missed everything warm and affectionate.
The inhuman eyes closed and Dark felt the body in his arms grow more
limp. He cursed himself silently for not thinking of the fact that the
demon was close to a complete energy collapse. Placing a hand on his shoulder,
he transferred a miniscule amount of energy. Krad’s eyes blinked open and
he gazed at him.
He looked so... innocent. So confused. So unlike the creature that
had tried to kill him over and over again.
And I fell for you, Dark thought, still amazed at his own boldness
in the last few minutes. He caressed the soft hair, smiling reassuringly,
though he felt no less unsure of what was happening as the other.
"You have to return to your host," he whispered, unable to stop himself
from planting a chaste kiss on the oh-so-delightful lips.
