Ronin Warriors Fan Fiction ❯ Love's Flaring Light ❯ Consummation and Transparency ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter 4:

Seiji stood stunned, a soft white hand pressed against his swollen lips where he could still feel Touma's lips crushing against his own. The wild look was gone and in its place stood uncertainty. "Touma?" he asked softly.

"Yeah Seiji. It's me. I'm sorry for that but I didn't know what else to do. You weren't listening to reason and I was afraid that you would try something like last night, and I couldn't bear it if you did. Don't you realize how much you mean to me? I love you Seiji and I wouldn't be able to stand it if I lost you. Promise me, you'll never try to do what you tried to do last night. Promise me!!" Touma demanded an answer, his tears leaving tired marks across his pale cheeks.

Seiji unsure of what he was promising softly said "I promise Touma, but could you remind me of what it is I am promising not to do?"

Touma looked at Seiji in astonishment. "You still don't remember do ya?"

Shaking his head sadly, Seiji said "no, I remember the nightmare and fleeing from you. I remember running through the woods and Shin finding me. We talked for a little while and nothing. That's it. Why, what am I forgetting?"

Touma looked at his friend critically. "Seiji, you were very wrapped up in your nightmare. You kept telling Shin that you had lost me and by all rights you should have been dead but you weren't. Only I was. You said that you couldn't handle it anymore and then you called Korin to you." Touma paused slightly before whispering, "you tried to take your own life last night Seiji." Seeing Korin's blade flash in the starlight last night had almost sent Touma over the edge. "If it hadn't been for Tenku's extra burst of speed, you would have stabbed Korin's blade through your chest. I just barely managed to get my bow between yourself and your blade."

Seiji sat down hard on the rug. He blinked uncomprehending eyes up at Touma. "I did what?"

"It's true Seiji. I was there." A soft-spoken voice said from the once again open doorway.

"Shin?" Seiji asked incredulously.

"Yeah, I'm so sorry about last night, my friend. I didn't realize how much your nightmares have been troubling you. Again, I am sorry." Shin looked worriedly at Touma and then back to Byakuen who was still with him. "The others are wanting to know what is going on. Should I tell them or would you guys like to?"

"Let's wait a little bit, Shin. I have something to talk to you guys about anyhow. Something else occurred last night that none of you are aware of. It's the reason that Byakuen was in here. He stayed all night last night, protecting us. I don't think that any of us should go alone anywhere for the time being. There's more to this than simple nightmares, Shin."

Shin started, surprised but noting Touma's determined look he nodded as he left. "I'll tell the others that we will have a meeting in a couple more hours. You two look like you could use some more rest." Byakuen eyed the two knowingly as he padded outside the door. He plopped down in front of the doorway, daring anyone to come near it.

Seiji frowned at Touma as the door closed. "What do you mean, there's more to this than a simple nightmare?"

Touma grimaced. He really did not want to get into this right now. "Seiji, I'll tell you later with the others. Let's just say that your demons are real. One of them was here last night watching us sleep. I tried to grab it but it disappeared into thin air. Byakuen sensed it as well, so he set up sentinel last night. That was the reason why you found me in your bed this morning. Byakuen seemed to think that the things would leave you alone with my presence beside you. Which apparently they did so, at least for last night."

Seiji was surprised to say the least. He pulled the archer to him. "Touma, I'm scared. I don't know what is going on. What do these things want with me?"

"I don't know Seiji. Only time will tell, I guess. Come on, let's get some more rest before facing the others." Touma grasped Seiji's hand and pulled him into the nearest bed. Wrapping his arms around Seiji, Touma began to fall asleep. A soft nibbling on his earlobe brought him back to full awareness, though. "Seiji?"

"Hmmm?"

"What are you doing?"

"Making sure you're real. Please Touma I need this."

Touma propped himself up on an elbow and looked into the clear violet depths of his soon to be lovers' eyes. "Seiji, you have gone through an awful lot and yes I do love you, but I don't think that this is a good idea right now. You are on an emotional roller coaster. You may feel differently after this is all behind you." Touma turned away from Seiji's surprised face. He wanted this as much as Seiji but one of them had to be reasonable, and he couldn't count on Seiji to be that when he was so insecure right now.

Seiji saw right through what Touma was trying to do and he was not going to let him get away from it. "Oh no you don't Touma Hashiba!! You are not going to play the reasonable one with me. I want this and I know you want this too, else we wouldn't be in the same bed together. Don't even give me any excuses. My feelings for you will not have changed one iota. Hasn't my nightmare told you anything? I love you Touma Hashiba and I don't think that I can live without you. Why else would I have tried such drastic measures last night? You are my everything. Understand?"

Touma nodded mutely. He had no idea that Seiji felt that strong about him. He thought about all the innuendos that he had received from the blond over the last year, and then he had no more time for thought as Seiji's lips claimed his in a fiery kiss.

Seiji wrapped his left arm around the archer pulling him closer to his body. He needed the warmth that Touma was generating. Running his hands lightly up under Touma's shirt, he tugged the garment over his love's head and flung it carelessly onto the floor. Pressing kisses across Touma's flat stomach, he could feel himself aching with need. Touma gasped as Seiji slid his hand beneath the waistband of his shorts.

"Seiji!!"

Seiji simply smiled at Touma's innocence. "Please Touma, love me. I need you to make me forget my nightmares. I need you to reestablish that this is real and that you are truly here with me."

Touma rolled on top of Seiji and began unbuttoning Seiji's green silk pajama top. "Seiji, I am real and I will gladly love you." Touma grinned down at Seiji whose eyes were clouding with passion. Bending down, Touma placed butterfly kisses along Seiji's jaw and down his throat before settling on a golden nipple. Teasing the nipple with his mouth, he was gratified to hear the soft moans of pleasure emanating from Seiji's throat. Laughing slightly, Touma urged Seiji to sit up so that he could get the shirt off the rest of the way. It soon joined Touma's on the floor.

Going back to what he was doing, Touma began lavishing his attention on one of Seiji's nipples as he reached down with his other hand and grasped the waistband of Seiji's pajama bottoms. Tugging slightly, he pulled both the pajama bottoms and Seiji's boxers off in one swift motion, leaving Seiji gloriously nude in front of him. Sitting up, Touma pulled off his own shorts and undergarments before settling himself back on top of his lover. The garments were thrown haphazardly around the room, the owners not caring where they landed.

Seiji moaned when Touma climbed back on top of him, naked. He had been longing for this moment for so long and now it was finally happening. "Oh Gods" he breathed.

Touma smiled as Seiji exclaimed. He could feel Seiji's erection against his stomach and his own was burning with desire. Pressing against Seiji, he began to kiss the swordsman in earnest. Reaching down between Seiji's legs he stuck one finger inside of the tight opening causing Seiji to squirm ever so deliciously below him. Continuing to kiss Seiji, he stuck another finger inside of Seiji, stretching him. He was so tight and he felt so good against his hand. Touma could only imagine what it will feel like to be inside that delicious warmth.

Seiji, growing impatient with his slow lover, reached up between their bodies and grasped Touma's sex in his hands. Tugging gently on it, he was gratified by a rugged breath hissing between Touma's clenched jaw. Reaching up with his other hand, Seiji pulled Touma down for another kiss, his hand still slowly pumping Touma up and down in time with Touma's strokes inside of his body.

Touma wrenched his mouth away from Seiji's for a brief moment. "You're sure about this?"

Seiji growled at Touma's words. "Touma, I am naked, lying in your arms, completely vulnerable. How much more assurance do you need? I want this. I want you inside of me. Now!!"

Touma grinned at the impatience evident in Seiji's voice, their troubles for the moment forgotten. Reaching over to the night stand, Touma grabbed some oil that Seiji had left there for some reason or another and gently poured some into his hands. Rubbing his hands together, Touma inserted his now slick fingers back into Seiji's sheath. He then poured more of the oil over his own erection before he flipped Seiji onto his stomach. Pressing up against his opening, Touma began to enter Seiji slowly.

Seiji grabbed hold of the blankets on the bed, threatening to shred them in his grip. The pain was intense.

Touma paused, holding himself rigid within his lover. He pressed feather light kisses along Seiji's back until Seiji grew accustomed to his length. When Seiji began to moan, Touma took that as his hint to continue. Pulling out slightly then thrusting back in, Touma set the slow pace but soon his need as well as Seiji's overwhelmed him and his strokes became faster and harder. You could not tell where Touma ended and Seiji began. They were as one, moving toward that ultimate goal. Touma reached around Seiji and grasped his erection in his hands. He began to pump Seiji's erection in time with his thrusts. It felt so unbelievably good to be doing this with Seiji. A roaring sound filled his ears as he felt himself come deep inside of Seiji.

Touma's release triggered Seiji's as he came in a hot rush over Touma's hand. Seiji flopped bonelessly to the mattress, Touma still inside of him. The scent of their lovemaking heavy in the air. Touma lay reposed over Seiji's back, Not really wanting to move but knowing that he should. The others would be looking for them soon and they both needed a shower. Pressing another feather like kiss to Seiji's back. He slipped away from his lover. "I'll be right back. I'm going to take a shower." A mumbled response was all that he received. Smiling, Touma pulled the blankets up around Seiji's sleeping form and left for his shower.

Seiji moaned as he felt Touma leave his body. But he knew the archer had to get cleaned up because the time Shin had given them was almost up. He was tempted to join Touma in the shower but he felt a lethargy pulling at his limbs. Sighing, Seiji closed his eyes as he let sleep overtake him. He knew Touma would wake him up as soon as he got out of the shower.
