Summary: Akaya and Shiraishi spend some alone time together in the caves and at the hot springs. Also, my Akaya-muse is a strange puppy, fair warning.


Akaya stretched as he rolled off of the cot. The caves seemed cramped and dark, but he knew that it was the safest place to stay while there was still a chance for more storms. Looking over to see Kura still laying on the narrow makeshift bed, he smiled and sat carefully on the edge to watch the blonde sleep.

Shiraishi was having an easier time sleeping now that the worse of the storm was over. He shifted in his sleep before his subconscious felt someone staring at him. He slowly opened his eyes to look at Akaya. He smiled sleepily. “Hey...”

Leaning down to brush his lips lightly over Shiraishi’s cheek, Akaya grinned. “Hey. You seemed to be sleeping pretty soundly, I hope I didn’t wake you.”

“No...” Shiraishi chuckled. “I’ve been sleeping too long. I should have been up hours ago.”

Akaya bent down and kissed Shiraishi softly. “Take a day off? We can spend it together. And hope that Yukarin doesn’t come in anytime soon.”

Shiraishi laughed as he sat up. “Perhaps we should venture outside. The weather seems to have lightened up.”

Akaya pouted playfully for a moment before nodding. “We can do that. We can go check out the hot springs, or go and do some fishing.”

“I didn’t get to check out the hot springs yet.” Shiraishi looked excited. “Sounds wonderful.”

“Alright, hot springs it is. Should we be good and take our swim trunks, or be traditional and go without?” Akaya smiled at the excited look on his lover’s face.

Shiraishi smirked. “Of course we’ll be traditional about it.”

Akaya smirked in return. “Mm, good. And hopefully they’ll be empty so we can have the place to ourselves.”

Shiraishi let out a purr of anticipation. “Are you planning to be naughty, Akaya?”

Akaya gave Shiraishi a saucy look. “Oh, very much so.”

“I like the way you think.” Shiraishi sidled up next to Akaya. “How on Earth did we ever behave ourselves for so long?”

Akaya purred in appreciation as he reached over to run his hand down Shiriaishi’s arm. “I haven’t a clue. Should we eat before we go, or take some fruit with us?”

“Just some fruit. We can eat afterwards.” Shiraishi suggested.

Akaya nodded and stole a kiss before pulling away to gather a few pieces of fruit in a bag. “Need anything else before we go?”

“Ah...my aloe and some bandages.” Shiraishi said.

Akaya nodded and tossed those in the bag as well. “I can’t believe I almost forgot that.”

Shiraishi waved a hand. “It’s okay, I forget them all the time.”

Stepping back over to where Shiraishi was sitting on the bed, Akaya rested his arms on the blond’s shoulders as he smiled down at the older man. “Have I mentioned lately that I love you?”

“I think I hear it almost every night...but I’m not opposed to hearing it more.” Shiraishi said, smiling softly at Akaya.

Akaya leaned down to kiss Shiraishi again. “Mm, I love you. And I’m never going to stop telling you that whenever the whim strikes me.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” Shiraishi said, deciding to pull Akaya down for more kisses, since the other man seemed inclined to do that right now.
[Akaya smiled into the kisses, climbing into Shiraishi’s lap to get closer to the other man.]
Akaya smiled into the kisses, climbing into Shiraishi’s lap to get closer to the other man. Pulling away from his lover’s lips to nibble on the blond’s earlobe, Akaya purred happily. “Mm, you taste yummy.”

Shiraishi moaned softly, wrapping his arms around Akaya’s waist. “So do you.”

Akaya nuzzled Shiraishi’s throat as he pressed himself closer to his lover’s chest. “Gods, you feel good.”

Shiraishi chuckled. “In a perfect world, we could just do this all day.”

“Pity that it’s not a perfect world. But that is one advantage of being here, no worries about any outside responsibilities.” Akaya grinned and ran his tongue up the length of Shiraishi’s throat.

“Mmm... I can’t help but be distracted by you, Akaya.” Shiraishi’s hands trailed lower, to massage Akaya’s backside. “You being a tease doesn’t help.”

Akaya moaned at Shiraishi’s touch. “Mm, so I should stop distracting you so we can go to the hot spring?”

Shiraishi answered by gently clamping his teeth down on Akaya’s shoulder.

Akaya tipped his head back with a loud moan, pressing himself closer to Shiraishi.

Shiraishi began to suck on the skin there, as always, branding Akaya as his.

Akaya shivered and whimpered a bit at the feel of Shiraishi marking him. “Kura...”

“Hmm...?” Shiraishi hummed, moving to claim Akaya’s lips.

Akaya moaned into the kiss, rocking his hips against Shiraishi’s as much as he could given their current position. “More...need you...”

Shiraishi managed to move them enough to get Akaya on his back. “You need more, hm?”

Akaya stretched himself out beneath Shiraishi and reached up to run his fingers through the taller man’s hair. “Always. I always need more of you.”

“So greedy.” Shiraishi said, though his tone of voice hinted that he didn’t mind. “Tell me what you want then?”

“All of you. I want everything.” Akaya’s voice was soft as he pulled Shiraishi down into a slow kiss.

Shiraishi indulged in the kiss, his hands working to tease at Akaya’s nipples. “How can I deny you when you’re giving me such a tempting display?”

Akaya’s back bowed as he arched his chest toward Shiraishi’s hands. “Mm, you know exactly what I want.”

“I don’t know...” Shiraishi teased, tugging harder at Akaya’s nipples. “Maybe I want you to beg for it.”

Akaya gasped harshly under Shiraishi’s ministrations. “Oh gods...please, Kura...”

“I could guess at what you want, Akaya....” Shiraishi paused to drag his teeth along Akaya’s collarbone. “Or you could tell me exactly what you need.”

Akaya let out a needy whine as he shuddered in pleasure. “Kura...need you...take me, please!”

The smile on Shiraishi’s face was absolutely wicked as a hand snaked down to massage Akaya’s backside before sliding a finger in. “There we go... Such a naughty boy.”

Akaya moaned and arched toward the finger pressing into him. “Ng...more...please, Kura.”

Shiraishi slipped a second finger in, fingers curling and stretching. “You’re so polite, saying please while you beg.”

Akaya gasped at the second finger. “Do I get...a reward?”

Shiraishi worked in a third finger. “What would you like as a reward, Akaya?”

Akaya cried out sharply and bucked his hips toward Shiraishi. “Oh...need you...in me. Please!”

Shiraishi muffled Akaya’s cries with a deep kiss before removing his fingers and pushing himself inside of his lover.

Akaya arched toward Shiraishi, moaning wantonly as Shiraishi slid into him. “Yes...gods, you feel so good...”

“You’re the one that feels good, Akaya...” Shiraishi moaned, loving how tight Akaya was. He began moving his hips, going at a rather rough and quick pace.

Akaya cried out sharply and clung to Shiraishi as he did his best to match his lover’s pace. Feeling Shiraishi drive into him so roughly was setting his nerves on fire.

Shiraishi was positively driven by an animalistic lust today, and he continued to take Akaya roughly. “Do you like being taken like this, Akaya?”

Akaya struggled to string enough brain cells together to speak as he writhed on the cot. “Yes...gods yes...more!”

Shiraishi gave Akaya what he wanted and continued to take him, showing no mercy. He gained enough momentum to be able to begin stroking Akaya as he continued his thrusts.

Akaya barely restrained a scream of pleasure as Shiraishi’s hand closed around him and began to stroke him in time with the motion of their hips. Clinging to Shiraishi as tightly as he could manage, Akaya dug his nails into the blond’s back as he tried to stay grounded.

Shiraishi let out a groan as he felt Akaya’s nails, but it only made his thrusts harder. It was almost as if he wanted to see if he could outlast Akaya.

As Shiraishi’s thrusts became harder, Akaya dug his nails in harder as well. “Ng...Kura...n-not gonna...last...”

“Then come, Akaya.” Shiraishi urged. “I give you permission.”

Akaya’s body went completely taut at Shiraishi’s words as his orgasm tore through him. The very fringes of his consciousness were aware of a loud cry that sounded like a mangled version of Shiraishi’s name, but he wasn’t aware enough to realize he’d been the one to make the sound.

Shiraishi held Akaya’s hips as Akaya’s orgasm coaxed out his own. He felt limp, and let himself rest next to Akaya after he pulled out. He immediately cuddled next to his lover, but didn’t say anything.

Akaya was shaking a bit from the aftermath of his orgasm as he curled toward Shiraishi. He still wanted to go to the hot spring, but his bones felt like jelly. “That...was amazing...”

Shiraishi rolled onto his stomach, showing off his newly mangled back. “Mmm....yeah.”

Akaya reached over and gently touched one of the marks he’d left on Shiraishi’s back. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

“Mm...you did, but in a very good way.” Shiraishi gave Akaya a wicked smile. “Pleasure and pain are closely associated.”

Akaya grinned back at Shiraishi before leaning close to steal a quick kiss from his lover. “Yeah they are. And I like a little pain with my pleasure.”

“Me, too.” Shiraishi smiled. “If I ever go TOO far, please let me know.”

Akaya nodded and stroked the marks on Shiraishi’s back. “I will. I promise.”

“Good...” Shiraishi purred under Akaya’s touches. “I love you, Akaya...”

“I love you too, Kuranosuke.” Akaya pressed a soft kiss to Shiraishi’s shoulder as he continued to pet the blond.

“Mmm...” Shiraishi closed his eyes. “Suddenly, I’m very content to just stay here.”

Akaya grinned playfully and scooted a little closer. “And here I was going to offer you a foot rub in the hot springs.”

Shiraishi groaned sleepily. “In a bit.”

Akaya chuckled softly and nodded. Reaching for the blanket that had ended up on the floor, he snuggled a little closer to Shiraishi as he spread the cloth over them both. “Alright, I suppose I can let you rest for a bit.”

“You do love me.” Shiraishi smiled, yawning.

“Of course I do.” Akaya smiled back before tracing his fingertips over Shiraishi’s cheek.

Shiraishi slipped back into unconsciousness, happy he had the strength to go so vigorously before becoming exhausted.

Akaya was surprisingly not tired. To be fair, he hadn’t been sleeping very well being cooped up in the caves to begin with, but it gave him a rare opportunity to watch Shiraishi sleep. It made him smile softly to see how his lover’s face relaxed as the older man let go of all his worries. Akaya swore that he would never let anyone hurt Shiraishi, just like he knew the blond would take care of him in the same way. Leaning close, Akaya kissed Shiraishi softly before holding him tightly.

Shiraishi was able to rest well, being held by Akaya. He was surprised when he woke up and saw the other man awake. “Not tired?”

Akaya smiled and nuzzled Shiraishi’s cheek. “Nah, not right now.”

“Sorry I fell asleep. You just wore me out.” Shiraishi smile was more of a goofy grin. “Though I don’t mind that at all.”

“You don’t need to apologize. It gave me a chance to watch you sleep for once.” Akaya grinned in return and reached up to comb a hand through Shiraishi’s hair. “You’re cute when you sleep, you know.”

Shiraishi turned red. "Cute?"

“Very cute.” Akaya nodded, having to hold back a laugh at the adorable blush spreading over his lover’s cheeks.

"I'm not cute." Shiraishi grumbled. "You're the cute one."

“So you’re denying that you’re capable of cute moments?” Akaya was trying his hardest to suppress the grin that was threatening to spread across his face.

"Of course I am." Shiraishi pouted. "I wasn't cute earlier, was I?"

"When you were sleeping, you were. And now that you're pouting, too." Akaya smiled and leaned in to kiss Shiraishi.

Shiraishi smiled softly. “Okay...I guess being a little cute is okay.”

Akaya grinned and kissed Shiraishi again. "Wanna go to the hot spring, or should I feed you first?"

“Hot spring~!” Shiraishi grinned.

Akaya laughed and climbed out of their makeshift bed to find some clothes for them both. Tossing Shiraishi's to him, Akaya grinned. "Then we better get dressed for the sake of the rest of the population."

Shiraishi smiled, getting dressed. “Yeah, they have weird rules.”

Akaya quickly dressed as well before walking over to hug Shiraishi. “Mm, that and I am the only one who gets to see you naked.”

“So greedy.” Shiraishi teased. “But that’s okay.”

“Only when it comes to you.” Akaya grinned and stepped away to find his shoes.

Shiraishi finished dressing, making a rather sudden cheer of triumph as he succeeded in completely buttoning his shirt with his right hand.

Akaya turned at the sound of Shiraishi’s cheer to see what had excited the blond so much. Seeing that his shirt was buttoned up all the way, he grinned. “Did you get that with one hand?”

Shiraishi nodded. “Yeah, it’s the first time.”

Akaya’s face lit up in excitement. “That’s awesome!”

Shiraishi smiled widely, so happy. "I can't wait to see what else I can do."

Akaya nearly skipped over to wrap his arms around Shiraishi. “I knew you’d get better. It’s only going to improve from here. I love you so much.”

Shiraishi was beaming. "It is all thanks to you, Akaya. I love you."

Akaya stood on his toes to kiss Shiraishi. “Mm, I think you’ve totally earned a full service massage at the hot spring now.”

Shiraishi wrapped an arm around Akaya’s waist. “You spoil me.”

Akaya smiled and leaned into Shiraishi’s chest. “You deserve it.”

Shiraishi began to head out with Akaya. “Do you think we’ll have anymore storms?”

Akaya sighed a bit and nodded. “Yeah, I think we will. I was talking to Saeki-san and looking on the internet back on the ship about it. Hurricane season will run until about December.”

“What month is it now?” Shiraishi asked. “I’ve lost track.”

“Hmm, I think September.” Akaya tilted his head to the side as he thought about it for a moment.

Shiraishi sighed. “That long, huh?”

“Unfortunately, yes.” Akaya squeezed Shiraishi’s hand a bit to reassure him.

“At least we have each other.” Shiraishi smiled. “That makes it better.”

Akaya smiled as they turned a corner and reached the entrance to the springs. “It really does.”

Shiraishi looked at the springs. “This looks wonderful!”

“Wow, it really does! Shinji and UzaUza did a great job.” Akaya’s eyes lit up with excitement at the sight of the springs.

Shiraishi chuckled at Akaya’s nickname for Liliadent. “Shall we give it a try, then?”

Akaya nodded fervently before dragging Shiraishi toward the changing area so they could get ready to go in the water.

Shiraishi laughed the whole way, grateful for Akaya’s enthusiasm. He put his clothes away and wrapped a towel around his waist.

Akaya made sure his towel was reasonably secure around his waist before pondering which pool to get in first. He didn’t want to go for the hottest pool just yet, so maybe the middle one? “Shall we start in the middle pool?”

“Sure.” Shiraishi nodded, heading over to the pool and easing his way in after removing his towel.

Akaya slipped into the water easily after leaving his towel on the rocks next to the pool. Sighing at the heat of the water, he settled back against a flat rock and held his arms out to Shiraishi. “Come here.”

Shiraishi smiled and moved into Akaya’s arms. “This is so nice...”

Akaya wrapped his arms around Shiraishi and held him close. “Mm, I agree.”

Shiraishi smiled and cuddled closer to Akaya. “I didn’t see anyone else around...”

“Neither did I. Which side should I start your massage on?” Akaya smirked as he started laying kisses over his lover’s neck.

“Mm...Surprise me?” Shiraishi suggested.

“I can do that.” Akaya purred and ran his hands over Shiraishi’s chest as he held the taller man from behind.

Shiraishi closed his eyes. “That feels so good...”

Akaya smiled and paid extra attention to Shiraishi’s nipples before sliding his hands down to caress the blond’s stomach.

“You have such skillful hands.” Shiraishi complemented.

“Why thank you, Kura.” Akaya continued to taste his lover’s neck as his hands explored the blond’s body.

Shiraishi’s head was tilted back, just enjoying the attention being paid to him. “Mm...more...”

“Your wish is my command.” Akaya murmured softly as he slid his hands back up and ran them down Shiraishi’s arms.

Shiraishi sighed. “That feels especially good on my left arm.”

Akaya shifted Shiraishi a bit so that he could reach the taller man’s left arm with both hands. “Let me know if I’m pressing too hard, ok?”

“Okay.” Shiraishi nodded. For now it felt amazing.

Akaya smiled and started working on all the knots in Shiraishi’s left arm. The scar tissue made things a little difficult, but he worked around it. “Good.”

Shiraishi seemed to have needed the massage as soft moans left his lips.

The soft moan made Akaya smile as he worked his way down to Shiraishi’s fingers and back up to his shoulder again. “Want me to move on, or make another pass down your arm?”

“Mmm...my back now?” Shiraishi suggested.

“Ok, I can do that.” Akaya smiled and started at Shiraishi’s shoulderblades, digging at each little knot and tight spot that he could find.

Shiraishi gasped. “Ah...there...”

Akaya hummed happily, loving the sounds that Shiraishi was making. His lover always made him feel so good when they made love, he wanted to do everything he could to repay that feeling.

“Seriously, you have the best hands.” Shiraishi moaned.

“You’re a flatterer.” Akaya couldn’t deny the pleasant feeling that settled in his chest from Shiraishi’s compliment.

“Just honest.” Shiraishi reminded.

“I think it’s because I just love touching you so much.” Akaya smiled as leaned forward to kiss the back of Shiraishi’s next as his hands moved to the blond’s lower back.

Shiraishi pressed himself closer. “I love being touched by you.”

Akaya smiled a little wider and turned Shiraishi so he could kiss the blond properly. “Ready for me to do your legs and your feet?”

Shiraishi nodded. “Should I sit on the edge?”

“Yeah, that would work. If you want, we can move to a different pool first. If you want to be in the hotter water when I’m done with you that is.” Akaya kissed Shiraishi again and nodded.

“Mm...that plan sounds good.” Shiraishi nodded, moving to pull himself out of the water.

“Alright then, lets got up there for a bit.” Akaya pulled himself out of the water and grabbed their towels, though he made no move to cover himself.

Shiraishi nodded, placing his towel on his head.

Once they reached the warmer pool, Akaya sat on the edge as well and motioned for Shiraishi to sit sideways next to him.

Shiraishi sat down, smiling at his lover.

Akaya shifted to get a good angle before starting with Shiraishi’s left foot. Digging his thumbs into the sole, he smiled at the blond. “How’s that feel?”

Shiraishi groaned happily. “That feels amazing....”

“Good.” Akaya focused on what he was doing, wanting to make Shiraishi feel as good as possible.

Shiraishi was like jelly in Akaya's hands. Soon, he was so relaxed his eyes were closed.

Akaya smiled softly as Shiraishi’s eyes slid closed. “Don’t fall asleep on me now, babe.”

"But you make me feel so good, Akaya..." Shiraishi opened his eyes, his cheeks flushed. "So good."
[Akaya smirked and let go of Shiraishi’s leg to crawl into the blond’s lap.]
Akaya smirked and let go of Shiraishi’s leg to crawl into the blond’s lap. “Do I need to wait and do your other leg after I massage something else?”

Shiraishi smirked. "Surprise me?"

Squirming on purpose for a moment, Akaya ran his fingers up through Shiraishi’s hair and massaged the blond’s scalp as he leaned close for a deep kiss. “Mm, I can do that.”

Shiraishi moaned into the kiss, pulling Akaya closer. "Maybe we should really make it surprising. Wanna blindfold me?"

Akaya moaned harshly at his lover’s suggestion. “What should I use as a blindfold? And should we move to a cooler pool first?”

“I brought bandages, didn’t I?” Shiraishi smirked. “And I’ll leave that up to you.”

Akaya slid out of Shiraishi’s lap, making sure to rub against the blond as much as he could. “Well then, meet me in the middle pool and I will go get the bandages.”

Shiraishi groaned, hating that Akaya had to part from him. He quickly went to the middle pool, showing with his body that he was indeed ready for Akaya.

Akaya nearly ran down to where they had left the bag he’d brought along. Digging out the roll of bandages, he darted back to the middle pool and jumped in, causing quite a splash. Grinning brightly, he pressed himself against Shiraishi as he pulled the drenched blond down for a kiss. “Miss me?”

Shiraishi chuckled. “Of course I did.”

“Good. Now, would you like me to just blindfold you, or should I tie your hands up too?” Akaya smirked as he slid one hand under the water to fondle Shiraishi’s balls.

Shiraishi gasped. “I think you should do whatever you want...”

Akaya grinned and brought his hand back up to wind the bandage around Shiraishi’s eyes before using some of the excess length to tie his hands behind his head. Smirking at his handiwork, Akaya trailed his fingertips down Shiraishi’s neck as he guided the blond to a good seat along the edge of the pool. “It might be dangerous for you to tell me that, you know.”

“A little danger is a good thing...” Shiraishi murmured.

Akaya purred and settled himself in Shiraishi’s lap. Leaning close to his lover’s ear, he slid his right hand into the water and started fingering himself. “Mm, you look so good like this. I’m almost regretting tying your hands up, your fingers are so good in me. Mine just can’t compare.”

Shiraishi squirmed. “What are you doing right now, Akaya?”

“Oh...playing with myself. Mm, my fingers are busy getting me ready for you, love.” Akaya slipped a second finger into himself, moaning softly in Shiraishi’s ear.

Shiraishi moaned, trying to make as much contact with Akaya as possible. “You sound like you’re enjoying yourself...”

Akaya gasped softly and added a third finger. Moving the digits inside of himself, he moaned harshly when one finger brushed past his prostate. “Ng...I am. God, this feels good, it’d be better with your fingers, but it’s still good.”

Shiraishi groaned, already painfully hard. “You’re such a tease, Akaya...”

Akaya smirked and removed his fingers from himself. Reaching around again, he pushed himself up for a moment and guided Shiraishi into his body. “Oh...you’ll just have to get back at me later.”

Shiraishi moaned. “Akaya....” It was obvious the fact that Akaya was in control was driving Shiraishi crazy. “You feel so good....”

Akaya kept the pace slow for the moment. Having Shiraishi trust him so much that the blond was letting him do what he had with the bandages was a powerful feeling, and Akaya didn’t want to get swept up by it too fast. “Mm...so do you. You fill me up...so well...”

Shiraishi’s hips bucked, as he wanted to feel as much of Akaya as he could. “Akaya...it’s almost torture not to be able to touch you.”

Akaya gasped sharply as Shiraishi bucked his hips. “Ah! Should I untie them?”

“It depends on whether you like torturing me...” Shiraishi moaned.

Akaya moaned and leaned forward to purr in Shiraishi’s ear. “If you ask nicely...”

“Akaya...please...Please let me touch you!” Shiraishi begged, his body moving to feel more and more of Akaya.

Akaya moaned as he slid his hands up Shiraishi’s arms to where his wrists were bound together. It took him a few moments to do it, but he managed to free Shiraishi’s hands without disturbing the blindfold. “Done...”

Shiraishi’s hands immediately moved to touch Akaya’s chest, trailing up to his neck, then to touch Akaya’s face. “I can tell what expression is on your face...” His fingers gently ran along Akaya’s lips. “Even without seeing you, I know you look stunning.”

Akaya parted his lips and gently lapped at Shiraishi’s fingertips. “Your hands feel so good...”

Shiraishi smiled, his fingers trailing back down, this time searching for Akaya’s nipples. He gave a smirk of triumph when he found them, and then he began teasing mercilessly.

Akaya cried out and arched his chest toward Shiraishi’s fingers as the blond began toying with his nipples. “Ah! Yes...just like that...”

“I am at your will, Akaya...” Shiraishi said, continuing to toy roughly with his lover’s nipples.

Akaya slid his hands back down to Shiraishi’s chest and began mimicking the blond’s actions. “I want you to tell me...what you want to do to me...how you’ll repay me for blindfolding you and tying your hands...”

For once, Shiraishi was a tad confused. How was he going to repay Akaya? “Are there any fantasies you want me to fulfill, Akaya?”

“You told me...there are plants that can drive me crazy with need...do they grow here?” Akaya’s mind was becoming clouded with pleasure as he started moving faster over Shiraishi. As much as he was enjoying having power over the blond, he did enjoy feeling powerless with the right person. And Shiraishi was most certainly the right person.

“Mmm...I could find some...” Shiraishi smirked. “Oh, yes...I could definitely find some...” His hands moved to begin stroking Akaya, his long fingers trailing the underbelly of Akaya’s length. “I could just imagine how delicious your moans would sound.”

Akaya dropped his head forward to rest against Shiraishi’s shoulder as he moaned wantonly. His lover’s fingers felt far and away better than his own ever had, and he was beginning to wonder how much longer he could draw this out. “Kura...so good...your hand feels amazing...”

“They love touching you, Akaya...they want to memorize every inch of you...” Shiraishi continued touching. “They want to make you feel as good as you make me feel.”

Between the combination of all the stimuli that his body had been receiving since they’d made it back to the pool they were in, Akaya was nearing his limit. “More...need more, Kura...”

Shiraishi continued to stroke as he moved his hips so that he was deeper inside of Akaya. “Mm...I’m close, Akaya...”

“Ng...me too...” Akaya groaned as Shiraishi drove a little deeper into him.

Shiraishi couldn’t take it anymore. His body was too stimulated. His hands moved to grip at Akaya’s hips as he reached his climax, emptying himself inside of Akaya.

The feel of Shiraishi spilling inside of him drove Akaya over the edge as well. As his climax subsided, he fumbled with the knot of the blindfold before eventually getting it undone. “Wow...that was awesome...”

Shiraishi purred, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. “That was amazing.”

Akaya draped himself over Shiraishi with a sated grin. “Mmhm.”

Shiraishi chuckled. “You’re so cute when you’re speechless.”

Akaya smiled and leaned back to kiss Shiraishi. “Hey, Kura?”

“Yes, Akaya?”

“When you do find one of those plants, don’t warn me. Just...slip it to me without telling me.” Akaya licked his lips and gave Shiraishi the most confident look he could muster. As much as he enjoyed knowing what to expect, a part of Akaya craved being surprised and controlled, and that part needed to trust that Shiraishi could and would give him that.

Shiraishi looked at Akaya. “...You’re amazing, you know that?”

“So, you’re agreeing, right?” Akaya was hoping he’d interpreted Shiraishi’s response correctly, but he needed to make sure. He didn’t want to make his lover uncomfortable.

Shiraishi nodded. “Of course. How could I not agree? Just the thought excites me to no end.”

Akaya leaned forward and kissed Shiraishi passionately. “Thank you. I love you so much, Kura.”

“I love you, too, Akaya.” Shiraishi said, chasing Akaya’s kiss with one of his own. “You are what I’ve been searching for.”

Shiraishi’s words made Akaya’s heart skip as he cuddled closer to the blond. “Ditto. You’re the only one I can trust to give me what I need without worrying.”

“Anything you ever need, just tell me and I’ll make your wish come true.” Shiraishi promised.

“I will, I promise. I...I know that some of the things I crave aren’t...generally accepted as normal, so I’ve always been really careful about mentioning them to anyone. But I don’t feel like I have to do that with you.” Akaya smiled warmly and brushed his lips over Shiraishi’s cheek.

“You don’t have to worry about me judging you. Some of the things I want aren’t normal, either.” Shiraishi sighed. “I can’t believe I’ve found someone who likes the same things I do.”

“Mm, it is nice, isn’t it? Neither of us has to worry about the other thinking we’re weird for it.” Akaya smiled brightly before turning beet red when his stomach growled quite loudly. “I think it’s time for some food.”

Shiraishi laughed. “Yeah. Plus, I’m getting wrinkly.”

“Should we go get dressed and eat at the beach, or just sit with our feet in the water while we eat?” Akaya regretfully moved up and off of Shiraishi, moaning softly at the feel of his lover sliding out of him.

Shiraishi thought for a moment. “Let’s go eat at the beach.”

“Ok. Then let’s go get dressed and I will wrap your arm so we can go eat.” Akaya grinned as he pulled himself up out of the water and reached for his towel.

Shiraishi nodded and grabbed his towel, heading to get dressed. He was once again triumphant in buttoning his shirt, which still made him smile like a loon.

Akaya smiled happily at Shiraishi and gave him a kiss as a reward.

Shiraishi was in such a good mood. “Akaya, let’s watch the stars tonight, okay?”

“Yeah, I like that idea.” Akaya nodded and reached for Shiraishi’s hand.

Shiraishi grinned. “I almost want to skip.”

“Hmm, I’m not sure we could do that without tripping each other.” Akaya chuckled and squeezed Shiraishi’s hand.

“Okay, just walking then.” Shiraishi smiled softly.

“Walking is great.” Akaya smiled and leaned close to Shiraishi.

Shiraishi felt absolutely giddy. “Akaya...”

“I love you, Kura.” Akaya felt like he was on cloud nine.

Shiraishi stopped walking, but continued to hold Akaya’s hand. “Akaya...” His voice was soft, and his face couldn’t hide the affection he felt for Akaya, even though there was also hesitation stitched into his brow.

Akaya turned and cocked his head to the side as he looked at Shiraishi. “What’s up?”

“I wish I could...” Shiraishi started, but stopped, as if saying the words hurt.

Akaya’s brow furrowed with concern. “What’s wrong?”

“I wish I could marry you.” Shiraishi said.

Akaya’s eyes widened before his face split with a big grin. “Really?”

Shiraishi turned red, but said nothing.

Akaya beamed brightly as he hugged Shiraishi tightly. “I know there are places where we can do that.”

“I don’t have a ring or anything to offer you...” Shiraishi hung his head. “And it’s still so early in our relationship...”

“I don’t need a fancy ring, we can get matching ones later. All I need is you with me forever.” Akaya’s voice was soft as he tipped Shiraishi’s chin up to look into his eyes.

Shiraishi smiled softly. “Forever.”

“Then when we get back, we’ll start planning it.” Akaya smiled and kissed Shiraishi softly.

Shiraishi pulled him into a hug. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. I love you, Kuranosuke.” Akaya cuddled close to Shiraishi.

“I love you, too.” Shiraishi just held him for a bit. “...We should eat.”

Akaya’s stomach growled in agreement. “Ah...yeah, we should.”

Shiraishi nodded and began to rush to the beach.

Akaya squawked and went running after Shiraishi. “Oi! Wait for me!”

Shiraishi laughed. “Catch me if you can!”

Akaya grinned and picked up his pace, doing his best to catch up to Shiraishi, who had the advantage of longer legs.

Shiraishi continued to run, and from the distance he was from Akaya, it must have looked like he took a great tumble as he landed in the sand.

Akaya let out a shocked cry as he saw Shiraishi go down. Hurrying faster, he skidded to a stop next to the blond. “Kura! Are you ok?”

Shiraishi was still laughing as he pulled Akaya down with him, grinning.

Akaya squeaked in surprise as Shiraishi pulled him down. “You did that on purpose!”

Shiraishi laughed and cuddled his lover. “I did.”

Akaya pouted a bit, though the effect was ruined by the laughter he was failing to suppress. “You owe me a kiss for that.”

Shiraishi grinned and kissed Akaya, pouring all of his emotion into it.

Akaya purred into the kiss, cuddling close to Shiraishi. “How did I last so long without you?”

"Perserverence?" Shiraishi said, nuzzling Akaya.

“Hmm, must be.” Akaya closed his eyes and snuggled closer.

“You’re a tough guy, Akaya.” Shiraishi said. “Sorry I keep distracting us from food.”

Akaya chuckled softly. “Mm, I forgive you. We really should eat though, with the fact that I’ve worn you out twice today.”

Shiraishi nodded. “Okay. I’ll be good while you get us food.”

Akaya stuck his tongue out at Shiraishi before laughing and sitting up to pull the fruit out of his bag. “Good thing it’s right here with me.”

Shiraishi smiled and held out his hand. “You’re brilliant.”

Akaya dropped a piece of fruit into Shiraishi’s hand. “Why thank you.”

Shiraishi ate vigorously, and then licked the juice from the fruit off his fingers.

Akaya chuckled and and ate his own fruit just as quickly. Pulling another two pieces from the bag, he offered one to Shiraishi.

Shiraishi ate that one as well. “Mm...that’s much better...”

Akaya nodded in agreement as he devoured his second fruit. “Mm, I agree. So what should we do now?”

Shiraishi gave a little shrug before taking Akaya’s wrist and drawing Akaya’s hand to his mouth so he could lick at it. “I don’t know.”

Akaya sighed at the feeling. “Are you trying to start something here, Kura?’

Shiraishi raised an eyebrow. “Maybe I just really like fruit.”

“Mm, if you’re still hungry, there’s more in the bag.” Akaya smirked and pulled out a third piece, eating it slowly.

Shiraishi took a bite out of the fruit Akaya was eating, smirking playfully.

Akaya gave Shiraishi a playful pout, pulling his fruit back to take another large bite out of it.

Shiraishi took another bite, licking his lips afterward.

Akaya chuckled softly and followed suit, noting that the fruit was nearly gone already.

Shiraishi grinned. “You can have the last of it.”

“Why thank you.” Akaya beamed at Shiraishi and polished off the last of the piece.

“I’ll just take a taste this way...” Shiraishi said as he leaned in for a kiss.

Akaya smiled into the kiss, happy to indulge his lover. “Mm, that works too.”

The kiss was meant as a purely chaste thing, and Shiraishi broke it to hold hands with Akaya, just looking into his eyes for a bit.

Akaya brought one hand up to brush Shiraishi’s bangs away from his eyes. Smiling softly, he let himself get lost in the blond’s brown eyes.

Shiraishi didn’t know how long they sat there like that, but eventually, he drifted his gaze to the sky. “Today has been... perfect.”

“It really has. Thank you for going to the hot springs with me.” Akaya leaned over to rest his head on Shiraishi’s shoulder.

“Thank you for being wonderful.” Shiraishi said, wrapping an arm around Akaya.

“You’re welcome. Though I think you’re a bit biased about my awesomeness.” Akaya grinned and cuddled a bit closer.

“I am, but that’s okay.” Shiraishi murmured. “You’re the most important person to me.”

“And you are the most important person to me. Once we get back, I’ll show you the world, take you anywhere you want to go. Because I love you.” Akaya smiled and looked at the water rolling in peacefully.

Shiraishi nodded, curling up next to Akaya. “I love you, too.”
