[ He allowed Ron to lay him down easily, his own arms wrapping around his neck as they kissed. Already, his heart began to act up, giving a heavy pound as once again, they wound up in bed. But the feeling was different, not heated and passionate, but slow and sensual. ]
[ He deepened it gently, sliding that arm around him again to embrace him tightly. He eased the other god against him, eyes closing as he deepened it a moment. But he pulled away, shutting his eyes tightly as his only way of blinking back tears. ]
[ 'Sorry', he said, but even so, he didn't know how to feel. He was sorry, too... sorry for the hurtful things he had said, how he had taken it out on Ron when it was just his own insecurities... ]
When I met him... [ He let out slowly. ] ...I thought...
I thought that when you saw him again, spent time with him, that...
[ He covered his eyes with the sleeve of his kimono. ] That you wouldn't want anything to do with me anymore. And I was scared...
[ And he sighed as he drew his arm back. His head lowered slightly, as if he couldn't look him in the eye again. Or maybe he just had too much on his mind. ]
M'torn, really... dunno what to do. There's the two of you here and... m'feeling the same about you as I am with him. So... m'sorry about that too.
[ Watanuki turned his head away. He closed his eyes. ]
... [ His fingers clenched. ]
Here you are... saying you've only kissed him once... and you've kissed me so many times by now...
I was right. You just don't give up a part of your body for anyone. You have to care for them enough to risk yourself like that...
The fact that you can't even decide is what makes me hate this. It was my reason for trying to keep my distance from you... but I gave in, because I thought maybe-- maybe, maybe I found someone who cared for me more than anyone else.
You can come back when you decide if you really want to be with me or not.
I don't want to be used as someone to help you "move on".
I want it to be because you want to be with me for no other reason than that. Not to have to be the guy to wipe up the mess another man left stained on you.
[ Another breath, leaning in to press a kiss to his forehead before taking a step back. ]
M'sorry. You're right though, you've told me. You aren't to be used and I've no intention of using you for anything.
[ Head lowered. Definitely didn't feel like he could look him in the eye. For a dead guy, he was finding it hard to breathe. This was more hell than the hell he had been through. ]
I... do want to be with you. Because you've made this feel more like home than anything ever was. S'why I was moving on. Because you made me happy for the sheer virtue of being you. Not because I'd had to impress you or anythin'.
[ A beat. ]
I haven't seen home in a while. Though... if given the chance... I'd likely not want to because I'd found another.
You're saying all of this, telling me that I make you happy and I make you want to stay here, that you could call this and me and every thing else your home...
You say it, but I don't believe a single word of it! Words are cheap! You can tell me the sky is green or my hair is red but just because you say it doesn't mean it's true!
Action speaks louder! So every time you flirted with me means shit, but everytime you kissed me, it felt real, it made me want to believe you, you made me feel wanted...
But now, [ And again, he was crying, those large bubbling tears that welled at his eyes and then slid down pale cheeks. ] Now I don't even know if I can believe that. Because in the end, no matter what you say to me, the fact remains that you still love him!
You haven't a need to believe me, I know. S'all shite, what I say.
[ He couldn't stand it, couldn't stand seeing him cry like that. Despite it all, he took a step forward and knelt by the bedside. In one motion, he gathered the other god into his arm to hold him tightly again. His eyes closed, nuzzling lightly against his cheek as his hand stroked his back and encouraged him to cry.
He caused this after all.
It was surprising how calm he was at that moment. ]
If I did love him the way I did then... then with him's where I'd be the minute you told me to leave. But here I am, eh? Trying to get you to believe me. Trying me earnest not to lose you.
[ He hated this. He wanted to be angry, stay angry, teach Ron some sort of lesson that he wasn't to be dealt with, but the other's hands and soft skin and warm body and unique scent was convincing, a balm on his soul. He'd never felt like this before, save for one person, the one person who always looked after him, but... ]
[ That was then. ]
[ But here, in this new place, this scary place, where his words could affect another person so much... ah, and here now even. Had his words affected Ron, as well? Was he here because... he was scared? ]
[ Watanuki buried his face into Ronald's neck, continuing with crying as Ron's hand stroked his back. For the first time, he wished the other had his other arm, if only to hug him tighter, but as it were, he was only capable of one thing at a time. ]
I just want you to look at me...
...Only me... [ He couldn't help it. He was being selfish, he knew it... but this was the first time he had ever wanted anything so badly. Anyone. His brain was telling him this was more than just a small crush, that maybe, maybe this was... ]
[ Were he to admit it, he was terrified. Terrified of losing the smidgen of happiness he'd found all his own. Terrified of having it wrenched from him.
He stayed by his bedside, keeping that arm tight around him as he nuzzled close; against his cheek, against his hair, pressing a light kiss against his forehead. He let out another breath, voice soft and near shaking. ]
Least I could do, sweetheart...
[ His eyes shut tighter, keeping him close as if he was desperate. There would be time to sort this out. For now, he needed this, needed to calm that ache in his chest. It hurt and it was cold all at once.
Again, another shiver as he ducked his head. But he did manage the smallest smile. At least things were looking hopeful. ]
[ Did he really deserve this? Did he deserve either of them at all? There was a small nagging voice at the back of his head that quietly chastised him for what he did but he was willing to shove it aside for now. Ignore the nagging and possible self-flagellation. He wanted this. He honestly and truly wanted this.
So the reaper leaned in, sliding his arm back around Watanuki to pull him close into a soft kiss. His eyes closed -- no, he shut them tightly as he deepened the kiss a moment. It took Ronald a moment to pull away, kissing him repeatedly, eagerly, keeping those kisses warm and soft. Never too wanting. He was never a man who prayed but silently he did to whoever was watching over him, malign or benign, to let him have this. Just this. He would never want for anything again if he was allowed to have this. ]
[ He had gotten what he asked for. He moved and pulled on Ronald so that they were both lying in bed, and he returned those kisses with his own eagerness. His heart was pounding. This was what he wanted. It scared him, to think he would never have it again. He didn't know when he had gotten so deep into this. He had fallen for a man who also loved somebody else. Was that his destiny? To always be left wanting To have to share an existence with somebody else? It... hurt. ]
[ His fingers moved to clutch at Ron's shirt, as if it would keep him adhered in place so that he could never leave. His heart felt as if it ould give out on him. ]
[ But he kept kissing, almost desperate. He didn't know when he started rying in the middle of it all, but he did. He ingored the tears. He didn't want Ron to stop. ]
[ It was clear this was something they both wanted. As he moved an arm around the other god, he pulled him closer to deepen those kissed before lightly breaking away. He only did it to refocus his attention over his cheek, his jaw, the curve of his neck, the little intimate places only he could kiss. He wasn't doing this to satiate list or any primal need. It was the intimacy he craved. The reaper wanted him. Wanted to hold him.
He forced down that lump in his throat as he took one hand, pressing a kiss to his knuckles and turning to nuzzle his cheek against his palm.
He turned his head to press a kiss to that palm before looking up, meeting his eyes and reaching to brush a tear from his cheek. ]
[ That assurance was murmured out, not wanting to raise his voice above a whisper. But he held him closer, holding him against his chest as he deepened it eagerly.
Another heated kiss, soft, wanting, needy, desperate. They were all these. He couldn't stop. He didn't want to. And he held to him tighter because he knew if he would be wrenched away from this soul, his world would crumble. ]
[ He hummed into Ron's mouth at the kiss. He suddenly felt hot in his clothing. He pulled away, looking to the side. ]
Mm--wait...
[ Whereas last time, Ronald had been asked to stop, Watanuki reached up, tugging at the folded collar of his kimono. He sat up, shifting, nudging Ron off of his side and onto his back. He sat and straddled him, before pulling the rest of the kimono off at his chest. The fabric hung off of his elbows, but he was completely exposed from the neck down. His soft pink nipples were slowly getting hard as he adjusted himself against Ron's hips. ]
I was... [ He murmured. ] ...Getting hot... [ Maybe in more than one way. ]
no subject
Dunno if you'd believe me but...
[ And letting out a breath, finally releasing his shoulder. ]
I've just... been feeling very strongly toward you. S'why I can't stop kissing you, I'd think. Being with you, spending time with you... it felt good.
That's all.
[ ....is that what we're calling it now, kid? ]
no subject
[ He wiped at his tears with the sleeve of him kimono. ] Then...
Even after all I said... and how cruel it was...
...Would you still kiss me? Even now?

...only if you'd want me to.
[ And that small smile again. ]
S'long as m'not hurting you. Then yeah. I would.

Will you kiss me, then? I...
I want to be able to feel... how much you care for me.

M'sorry I made you cry...

[ He went quiet for a bit. ]
2/2
no subject
...we've a history him and I. Spent a good part of a year with naught but each other to keep us safe. I just...
[ And he winced, lightly clutching at his shoulder again as he lowered his head. ]
Just wanted to be honest with you. If I want to be with you then... I'd rather you know why I couldn't make a bloody decision yet.
[ Another breath. ]
Didn't want you to feel like I'd been cheating on him with you. That you were the one I want. I wanted you to know that you'd be the only one.
[ But he let his arm go finally. ]
You're helping me move on, pittance though that might mean to you.
no subject
I said, get out.
You can come back when you decide if you really want to be with me or not.
I don't want to be used as someone to help you "move on".
I want it to be because you want to be with me for no other reason than that. Not to have to be the guy to wipe up the mess another man left stained on you.
So go.
