Author: despina_moon
Warnings: NC17 to be safe. Blood, violence, implied sexual situations, swearing
Characters/Pairings: Hakkai X Gojyo
Summary: What happened in that room after Hakkai rescued Gojyo in Burial?
Notes: Challenge 62 "Blood". Time allowed: 30 minutes. Time taken: 42 minutes. I cheated on this one. Normally, I can't write this fast, but this idea has been rolling around in my head for a while now. Although, it was intended to be longer and have smut in it, but I think this will do. It needs a beta in the worst way, but meh …
There was blood everywhere. It decorated the walls, pooled near him on the floor, and lacy threads of it marked his arms and face. The smell was cloying and thick, like the scent at the slaughterhouse he'd worked at once, for half a day. That was before he'd realized he'd never make a good day worker.
Gojyo watched some of the melee from his annoyingly helpless and incredibly painful position on the floor. He remained roped to a chair but luckily, when he'd landed on his back, the impact--besides nearly breaking his arms--had loosened his bonds. While the fight--okay maybe it was less like a fight and more like an old fashion massacre--raged around him, he gradually worked his way free.
He'd seen Hakkai's transformation into claws, teeth, and vines, and he'd observed his roommate's undisguised joy at releasing his inner youkai. Hakkai was definitely indulging himself. Gojyo found he couldn't look away, he didn't want to look away, Hakkai's deadly grace and feral beauty kept him mesmerized.
Finally, Gojyo freed himself and he sat up just in time to see Hakkai strike a killing blow. The two remaining living thugs ran out the door in a panic and Hakkai took a couple of steps after them before he halted. Turning on his heel, he slowly faced Gojyo. There was a smear of blood down Hakkai's left cheek, moving vines scrolled over his pale skin, and those fabulous green eyes sparkled with something tantalizing and unnamed.
Gojyo swallowed, he was weirdly turned on. That wasn't right, was it? No, that wasn't right at all. He blinked and tried to clear his head. "Are you all right?"
Hakkai's unbridled laughter was an unusual sound and his long teeth were shining in the shadowy room. "Am I all right? Yes, I believe I am quite fine, thank you. How are you?"
Gojyo grinned while rubbing his wrists, trying to work feeling back into his hands. "Considering you've just had save my sorry ass, I guess I'm okay. A little embarrassed. A little horny, maybe."
"Horny?" Hakkai arched a delicate eyebrow at him. "How extraordinary."
"Yeah. Near death experiences have a tendency to do that to me, I'm kind of a freak like that. Plus," Gojyo stood up and worked some kinks out of his shoulders, "you're kinda hot like that."
Hakkai shook his head, a smile still on his lips. "Hmm. You should be careful not to tease me. I am easily tempted in this state."
"Really? That's promising. Besides, I'm not teasing." Gojyo's breath was already ragged and he angled close. Raising his still tingling hand, he gently traced the outside of Hakkai's right ear. "Holy fuck, your ears are sexy."
Hakkai's voice was hoarse when he said, "Gojyo, perhaps this isn't the correct time for this."
"Why not?"
Vines quivered and writhed, swirling around them on the floor. Hakkai's fingers fidgeted. Those were some nasty looking claws but Gojyo trusted his friend. His savior.
Hakkai stepped back, somehow avoiding stepping on a body. "There are corpses here. And blood." Hakkai shivered. "And the blood makes me …"
"Horny? Yeah, I already figured that part out. So, since we're both horny freaks, why not?"
Tilting his head to one side, his long, tapered ears twitched. "Really, Gojyo. That's a rather crass line for a self-proclaimed ladies man."
Gojyo grinned. "Yeah, well, I mean, I don't usually find myself in a situation like this. Also, you're not like them are ya? Other than being male you're more …" Gojyo's bravado melted away and he swallowed. He'd been so uncomfortable with Hakkai since his return. When he thought Hakkai was dead, that shit had hurt. Gojyo didn't want to feel that way ever again.
Hakkai was watching him, green eyes glinting in the low light, while he waited for Gojyo to finish.
"Ah, hell, Hakkai." Gojyo's voice dropped to a whisper when he said, "You're more important to me and it kinda freaked me out."
"Oh." Hakkai nodded. "I think I see."
Gojyo straightened. He shifted the direction of their conversation, steering it away from scary territory. "Besides, dude, you just saved me. My manhood's at stake here."
"Your manhood, is it?" Hakkai stared at him, his expression unreadable except for a slight twitch of a smile. "I see. Then maybe I should find my ear cuffs."
"Nah, I like you just like that."
Hakkai blinked at him. "Just--"
"Yep. Just like that."
"But I might injure you by accident."
"Yeah," Gojyo was grinning again while tugging at Hakkai's coat, "you might."
In a blood-splattered room filled with death, Gojyo finally learned how to live with his roommate once again.
