Chapter 3

It was very early the next morning when Seishirou woke up. He slipped out of bed carefully, trying not to disturb Subaru, intent upon going to the adjoining bathroom to wash up. He almost succeeded in sneaking away until he tried to close the door....

A sharp tug around his neck rudely yanked him back into the bedroom. The proud angel fell, quite awkwardly, onto the floor with a dull thud. Fortunately, Subaru did no more than stir uneasily in bed. The youngling must have been more tired than he'd supposed. Cursing venomously, he came to the conclusion that he was going to have to do his business with the door open.

He padded back over and sighed at his reflection before splashing his face with cold water. This refreshed him somewhat, but then a faint sound made him pause abruptly, water still dripping from his face. Something was not quite right. It sounded like tree branches gently tapping against the window. But that couldn't be it, not with his apartment being on the ninth floor.

Straightening, he returned to the bedroom, walking over to the window. For some reason, his mind turned Subaru's little display in the park the day before. The young angel's foolish use of his powers before an audience was certain to get them unwanted attention. But Seishirou didn't have time to finish that train of thought. He was interrupted when the window exploded before him in a shower of splinters.

The violent crash shattered Subaru's pleasant slumber. He bolted upright, heart pounding in confusion. Disoriented, it was a few moments before he remembered where he was. Quickly scrambling off the bed, he stared wide-eyed at the huge missing section of Seishirou's bedroom window.

"Seishirou-san?! Are you all right?" he asked anxiously. His eyes quickly examined the other angel, standing gloriously nude in the sunlight, to make sure he was unharmed.

Seishirou would have reassured him, except that at that moment, a large griffin-like monster smashed its way in though the newly created hole in the wall. It swiped at the warrior angel with a paw filled with razor-sharp talons, trying to grab at him. Deftly, Seishirou leapt out of the way, which unfortunately left Subaru in its full view.

It fixed Subaru with an interested gaze, scanning the young angel up and down before speaking in a surprisingly human voice. "Another Angel. Must bring little Angel back to master too," it said gruffly before extending those talons to grab at Subaru.

Seishirou reached for the first thing he could get his hands on-- his desk chair, and broke it over the back of the monster. While it didn't really hurt the creature, it bought Seishirou enough time to grab the frozen Subaru (and his pants) and to dash out of the bedroom. He slammed the door behind them, hoping the creature wasn't smart enough to use a doorknob.

He slipped his pants on and grabbed Subaru's from the sofa to toss to him. "Alright, since you've effectively sealed my powers, it's up to you to take care of that little problem," he said pragmatically, like it was the simplest of tasks, his finger casually pointing in the direction of the bedroom. He was careful to hide the fact that he felt like an idiot, cowering behind the youngling, but it wasn't like he had a whole lot of choice at the moment.

Subaru looked horrified at what Seishirou was suggesting while he followed the other's example and threw his pants on. "I can't fight!" he exclaimed in a panic. "I'm not a warrior angel! I don't even have a weapon! I'm a messenger Angel! What am I supposed to do? Throw mail at it?!"

Seishirou was spared from a reply. The two Angels turned in unison when the Griffin ripped the bedroom door off its frame, in a shower of splinters. The monster charged into the living room and headed straight for Subaru. Getting a handle on his fear, the young angel threw himself desperately to one side to duck behind the sofa.

"Seishirou-san! Help!" he screamed.

Seishirou rolled his eyes. It would just figure that his captor would be completely and utterly defenseless against an attack. Thinking quickly, he spotted the floor lamp next to the sofa. Without pausing for another thought, he ripped off the lampshade and smashed the light bulb. Holding the lamp like a lance, he beckoned to the creature.

"I'm right here, what are you waiting for!" he taunted. The effect was instantaneous. The griffin-creature charged at the bold Angel. Seishirou held his ground, and waited for the creature to close the space between them before he lunged forward, impaling it with the slender lamp stand. The creature's body began to violently seizure, sparks flying everywhere, as the lamp was still plugged in.

After leaving it in for a few minutes, it was with extreme pleasure that Seishirou violently yanked the lamp back and tossed it aside. The creature dissolved into putrid green smoke, leaving only two slips of paper as evidence of its existence.

Subaru stared wide-eyed at Seishirou in awe. This was the great warrior angel in action. He jumped up and would have glomped Seishirou if he weren't suddenly shy about it. He felt rather like a fan girl in the presence of a pop star. "That was fantastic! I can't believe you did that!" he gushed. "You saved me!"

Seishirou smirked as he bent down to examine the ofuda on the floor. When he was done, he tucked them in his pocket for safekeeping. He then turned to Subaru, giving him his most gentlemanly smile. Grabbing him by the waist, he boasted with a playful wink, "I'm rather resourceful in a pinch."

Subaru blushed warmly in Seishirou's cuddle. His adrenaline was pumping and Seishirou's touch once again brought all sorts of pleasurable sensations. Highly flustered, he stammered out an agreement. "You... yes, yes, you are." He blushed a bit more, not knowing what else to say. In the end, he turned his attention to wreck of Seishirou's home.

"What was that?"

Seishirou tightened his arms around Subaru's waist and gazed at him intensely. "It was a shikigami. A familiar spirit sent by, very likely, a sorcerer after our power... but you need not worry, Subaru-kun. I shall be able to protect you, even without my powers..." he said melodramatically. The warrior angel leaned in close, so that he could feel Subaru's breath on his face. The younger angel's nervousness at his advances was extremely cute.

Subaru shifted tensely in Seishirou's arms but made no attempt to pull free. He didn't understand why he was feeling all these things while in this position. It wasn't like being embraced by other Angels at all. Only Seishirou had this effect on him.

After a while, he remembered his manners enough to reply Seishirou. "Thank you." A twinge of guilt shot through him that Seishirou had been hampered from showing his full warrior might because of the collar. "I'm sorry about the collar, but I can't take it off. It's my mission to bring you home," he said miserably.

"It's quite alright," the other angel murmured darkly, slowly backing the youngling up against the wall. "I've decided that I don't mind being attached to you, even if I must return to Heaven." His lips grazed over Subaru's cheek, relishing its softness.

The slight touch pushed Subaru over the brink, his mind lost in power of the moment. He swayed closer to Seishirou, pressing his body fully against his, closing his eyes and inhaling in Seishirou's unique scent. It was so pleasant. He hummed his gratitude to Seishirou's words.

Seishirou took this as an invitation to press further against him. His hands skimmed down the young angel's sides and around his back, enjoying the feel of bare skin against his fingers. A slight grin lit the warrior's face before he caught Subaru's lips in a gentle kiss.

Seishirou's lips were warm and soft and moved gently upon his. Subaru innocently tipped his head up higher for more of the sweet caress, liking it very much. He had no idea why he was so attracted to Seishirou. For a moment, he was happy to remain in his grasp, forgetting that kisses usually led to forbidden things.

The older angel could feel the youngling's submission, pleased that he was responding so well. He thrust his tongue into that sweet mouth, probing insistently, wanting to taste Subaru as well as feel him. Seishirou pressed his hips down against Subaru's slowly escalating their contact.

Subaru's breath was entirely stolen away. Even if he had the presence of mind to protest, he didn't think he'd get very far. And he didn't want Seishirou to stop. He could feel every point of contact between their bodies scorching him, even through their clothes. His hands crept of their own accord around Seishirou's back, his hands grabbing hold of the older angel's hips.

Seishirou's knee nudged its way between Subaru's legs, rubbing up against his thighs and brushing across his groin. He didn't stop the kissing, but held onto the smaller body tightly.

It felt natural for Subaru to rub himself harder against Seishirou's leg to get more friction on his groin area. The more he rubbed, the better it felt, until he was light headed from the pleasant sensations sparking through him.

Ever determined to take things as far as he could, Seishirou moved his knee back and forth against Subaru. He was pleased by the light sounds of contentment coming from the smaller angel. Moving his hand slowly south, his fingers wandered to grasp at Subaru's pants, lightly stimulating his hardening arousal through the dark fabric.

Subaru didn't know if it all felt so good why this could be wrong. And as soon as the thought flashed through his head, guilt returned to him in full force. He couldn't do this again, not if it was forbidden. His eyes shot open and he willed the hands that had been stroking Seishirou's bare skin into pushing him away.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, we can't do this, it's forbidden," he said unhappily. The frustration had his body as tight as a knot, but there was nothing he could do to ease it. "Why does my body feel all these things if it's forbidden? It's not fair."

"Because sin is always a pleasure," the other replied, his voice light and filled with sweetness. "But pleasure isn't always a sin." His eyes sparkled, not moving away from him. "If you loved me, then it wouldn't be forbidden..." he cooed softly, tracing formless patterns on Subaru's smooth chest.

Subaru blinked at him while his mind tried to process that contradiction. "What do you mean? Why wouldn't it be forbidden?" he asked. He was naively confident that Seishirou couldn't lie to him.

"Because," he said, still scrawling his finger over his chest, "this is what people who are in love do," he purred. So he was bending the truth a little, but that didn't bother Seishirou in the slightest. It seemed that the magic binding him only had problems with blatant lies. "Not being in love makes the act worthless and that is why it is forbidden." He let out a deep sigh, "I suppose there is no chance that you will ever love me. Perhaps I was too hopeful…" His face fell in an expression of deep sadness.

Pure pink roses bloomed brightly on Subaru's cheeks. He hadn't known that Seishirou had hopes for him. "Oh no, Seishirou-san. You mustn't feel that way!!" he protested. "I... I could try to love you. Will you teach me how?" That last was said in a much softer tone. Subaru was shy that such a wonderful, powerful angel as Seishirou wanted his love and if that was the way out of their predicament then Subaru would try his hardest to love him. Touching each other like this was too pleasant to give up if there was a chance they could do it without getting into trouble. He sighed happily and leaned a heated cheek against Seishirou's chest.

Seishirou chuckled at the young angel's naiveté. He stroked Subaru's hair reassuringly. "It's not something that can be taught, but something you feel. When you feel light and giddy, like your heart could fly from your chest, then you will know..." he whispered heatedly. The quickened breathing and light tremors coming from the young angel was proof that he was buying into the deception completely. It was almost too easy for Seishirou's liking.

Well, if that were so, then he very possibly was in love because every time Subaru was in Seishirou's presence, he went all light headed and giddy. And every time he kissed him... Yes, it was definitely love, Subaru concluded, because his heart did react in that very way.

"Why then, I already love you," Subaru said astonished. "Because I feel all those things when you touch me!" He was amazed that he hadn't known this before. His smile was true to his angelic nature.

"I am glad, Subaru-kun," Seishirou purred, holding him close. He hugged the young angel and whispered. "We'll wait until tonight, then I will show you what making love is like."

He pulled back a little, taking the ofuda out of his pocket. "Until then, it might be best to find out who is looking for us and put a stop to it before they terrorize us again."

Subaru nodded obediently. His body was still immensely frustrated but he trusted Seishirou with his whole heart. "How are we to begin looking?" he asked while shifting his legs about as unobtrusively as possible to get his arousal to stop being quite so demanding.

"I'll show you a spell you can use to trace this back to its owner," Seishirou said casually. "But for now, I think a nice, cold shower would be in order," he winked. "That should ease your... stiffness. Though it's not nearly as pleasant as the other way."

"Oh good," Subaru breathed with embarrassment that he was in such a state. He scuttled off into the bedroom bathroom, forgetting the little matter of Seishirou being stuck to him.

Seishirou let out an uncharacteristic squeak as he was jerked along with him. He nearly fell over as he attempted to catch up to Subaru.

"Warn me the next time you do that," he muttered, following him into the bathroom. Sighing, he sat down next to the sink. "Go ahead and take your shower. I'll wait until you're done."

If Subaru could have died of chagrin, he'd have done it right then and there. "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry," he repeated, bowing to the long-suffering warrior angel. Subaru didn't know how Seishirou put up with him, but he resolved to make the other not regret being with him, ever.

Notes:

Did you think we could have a chapter pass without Seishirou taking the opportunity to molest Subaru? And please note, he isn't really lying when he's telling Subaru about the act of making love. *giggle*

*rolls eyes* And doesn't Seishirou just sound like every guy trying to seduce someone into bed?

Stay tuned to Chapter 4 where Fuuma and Kamui make an appearance!
