Summary: Soubi takes Ritsuka to get his tail peirced.
“Why don’t you get your tail pierced?” Soubi suggested. He was walking Ritsuka home from school. His proposal seemed to come out of nowhere.
Ritsuka glanced up at Soubi. “What?” He looked over his shoulder as he reached around with his right hand to grab his tail. He let the soft fur slip through his fingers. “That would hurt.”
“Just a little pinch.”
“But… what if I don’t like it?” He let go of his tail and looked up at Soubi.
“Well, it’s not like your going to have it forever,” Soubi said with a devious smile.
Ritsuka’s face flushed. “What’s that supposed to mean! And what’s with that smile!”
“Oh, nothing.” But the smile never faltered. He bent over quickly so that he could kiss his sacrifice on the cheek.
Ritsuka winced as Soubi’s lips touched his face and he pushed him away. “There are people watching us, you know.”
Soubi didn’t seem to care. “What do you say? My treat.”
The look in his eyes said that he was seriously considering it. “Well… I guess so…”
Before he could object again Soubi took his hand and led him down the street. “Then let’s go get it done now. I know a place.”
When they had first walked in the earless woman at the tattoo parlor had assumed that it was Soubi what would be getting something. She was shocked when he corrected her. She peered over the counter had Ritsuka with a puzzled look. “How old is he? Eleven?”
“Twelve,” Ritsuka corrected her.
She looked back to Soubi. “And… who are you?”
He flashed a charming smile. “Me? Oh, I’m his cousin.”
“Uh-huh.” She didn’t seem to believe him a bit, but said she would do it. Reminding them that next time they had to make an appointment.
Soubi decided for Ritsuka that he would get two studs and two rings. The color drained from Ritsuka’s face when he heard this. He had thought that it was only going to be one piercing, not four. Ritsuka tugged on Soubi’s coat to get his attention. “I’m not a masochist like you are,” Ritsuka said seriously and Soubi laughed. “It’s not funny!”
The smile on his lips was soft. “Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. I’ll be there with you.” He leaned over, bringing his lips to Ritsuka’s ear. They brushed against the boy’s earlobe. “You can hold my hand and when it hurts, squeeze.”
Ritsuka gave a slight nod. They went to the back and Ritsuka sat down as the woman got the gun ready. Soubi took Ritsuka’s hands in his. When the woman took hold of Ritsuka’s tail his body stiffened and he closed his eyes tightly, just waiting for that piercing feeling.
Then the woman said, “Ready.” It wasn’t a question. Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his tail. Ritsuka gripped Soubi’s hands tightly. He squirmed a bit and the woman snapped at him. He did his best not to move. He squeezed Soubi’s hands firmly. He wanted Soubi to squeeze back, but he didn’t.
By the fourth one Ritsuka was used to it, but his tail was sore. Once it was done, Ritsuka let go of his fighter’s hands. His palms were covered in sweat and without much thought he wiped them on his pants.
Soubi knelt down, bringing his face close to Ritsuka’s. He thought Soubi was going to kiss him, but instead he rubbed against his nose slowly against his.
Once the woman had thoroughly explained to Ritsuka how to clean his tail and that he mustn’t touch any of the piercings Soubi took him for ice cream. They sat down on a bench together and Ritsuka began eating.
Ritsuka looked at his tail. It looked really cool pierced like that. He smiled a bit, wondering what Yuiko was going to say about it.
“Like it?” Soubi asked.
“It tastes fine.”
Soubi smiled softly. “I meant your tail.”
“Oh, yeah. I like it.” He finished the last bit of his ice cream and started to eat the cone.
“You know,” Soubi said with a smile, “you make the cutest face when you’re in pain.”
Mid-chew Ritsuka stopped. His face had once again become a bright shade of red. Wordlessly he turned away so that Soubi couldn’t see.
“So… what am I going to tell my mom? She’d kill me if she found out.” His tone was somber.
“True.” Soubi slouched down on the bench. Then in a serious tone said, “You’ll just have to get rid of your tail tonight.”
Ritsuka looked up at Soubi with a confused look on his face as he finished the rest of the cone. “What do you mean? The only way to get rid of my tail… is… to…” The boy grew quiet as he began to understand Soubi’s implication. And he was blushing again.
“Of course, your ears would be gone as well, but we could always just get you some fake ones to wear around.”
Ritsuka covered his blushing cheeks with both of his hands. “No way! I-I’ll just live with it.”
“Okay.” Soubi pulled Ritsuka’s hands away from his face so that he could give him a kiss; he didn’t resist.
Later, Soubi walked Ritsuka home. They held hands, swinging their arms as Ritsuka waged his sore tail back-in-forth in delight.
