Disclaimer: Characters are obviously not owned by me.
Note: The original to this is long gone due to an LJ Fuck Up. I re-wrote the fic again by relying on my, admittedly, not-so-good memory and what was cobbled from the written drafts I could find. Tried to make it stick as close to the original as possible, but where memory fails, are entirely new writings.
1 - Motion
It
was a Romantic Movie Moment gone slightly bad in motion, because while sunsets
and stolen kisses were all fine and dandy, the onslaught of raining bullets was
definitely something new.
2 - Cool
Musashi
didn’t think the girls would still find it Omg! That’s like, soooo cool if they
found out that the gun Hiruma had wasn’t just cosplay material and the twitch
the other had developed meant he was going to put it to good use very soon.
3 - Young
Musashi
knew that he didn’t look young ― having ‘old man’ flung at your face all the
time kinda drove that point in ― but he only found out just how bad it was when
the new worker at the construction site leered at Hiruma and asked him to give pointers
on how he had managed to snatch such a nubile young student.
4 - Last
This
time, he was going to make sure that it lasted.
5 - Wrong
Why yes, that was a gun in his pocket but that didn’t mean Hiruma wasn’t happy to
see him.
6 - Gentle
It
wasn’t always fightneedlust, Musashi liked to take it slow too - soft lazy
kisses and trailing hands - but it was hard to do so sometimes because Hiruma
did not like admitting to gentleness.
7 - One
One
was followed by two followed by three by four and soon they lost track of the
number of kisses given and received in turn.
8 - Thousand
Rule
of life # 1001: never fall in love with your best friend
9 - King
“What?
You want a massage now?” Musashi sighed as Hiruma tossed a haughty smirk over
his shoulder and stretched out the length of his body.
10 - Learn
Hiruma
had never seen what the big fuss over sweet things was about, but eh he could
possibly learn to like it when it was transferred to his mouth by way of
Musashi’s own.
11 - Blur
The
videotape was old… lines of static crackling and flickering across but /pause/
at that one scene of Musashi glancing back at Hiruma and everything became
crystal clear.
12 - Wait
It
sat there in the locker year after year, worn out but polished clean, and
Kurita pretended not to see the look in Hiruma’s eyes when he caught sight of it.
13 - Change
They
both bumped into the counter, and the very same moonlight reflected in the
loose change that had rattled to the floor was also cast on their intertwined
bodies.
14 - Command
Hiruma’s
pupils are blown wide and dark and yet Musashi still waits; it is only when the
hands clutched to his back tremble that Musashi finally leans in and obliges to the
unspoken command.
15 - Hold
Musashi
held on even as Hiruma swore and kicked, pushed and clawed; and only said once
again, “I am here.”
16 - Need
Need
was written in every shuddering line of his profile and Musashi cannot help but
drink in the sight, yet he still waited for Musashi was a patient man and he
would only move once the curses died down and Hiruma learned the effective use
of the word ‘please’.
17 - Vision
The
water Musashi had been chugging sprayed out when those legs stepped into his
line of vision, the bare expanse of pale thigh made all the more obvious by the
black socks sweetbuddhawasthatlace and all that he was capable of at the moment
was to stare and make strangled noises.
18 - Attention
Seeing
the reaction it provoked from certain parts of Musashi’s anatomy made Hiruma
decide that ohfuckyes, they were definitely doing the schoolgirl uniform thing
again and he quickly set about to blackmailing Mamori out of her spare set in the future.
19 - Soul
Insistence
on the fact that Hiruma actually did have a soul was met with
incredulous eyes, or in worse cases, disbelieving laughter.
20 - Picture
Oh,
but you were so cute in that dress as a kid,” Musashi drawled, and even as Hiruma
flushed and bullets started hailing down around him, he knew that he had to ask
Hiruma’s mom for more of those pictures the next time they visited.
21 - Fool
They
all knew that Musashi was no fool but doubts were undoubtedly cast on his
mental capabilities when they found out just whom his lover was.
22 - Mad
It
was all fists and angry words one moment, and in the next they were giving each
other barely disguised looks of lust enough to impregnate any woman walking
past and the team members decided, as a collective, to give the locker room a
wide berth for the moment.
23 - Child
It
was slightly disconcerting to see that even the most twisted of individuals
could still look like a child in their sleep
24 - Now
It
was desperation and heat, sweat-slick bodies straining against one another and their hearts a war drum pounding to the rhythm of nownowdoit.
25 - Shadow
The
way the light and shadows fell across his face, playing on his light skin and
hair in a way that Musashi knew it did not on his; even that could not quite
distract him from the look of terror in Hiruma’s eyes as he gazed at the door,
expecting Musashi to walk away and leave again at any moment.
26 - Goodbye
It
had not happened with any sort of fanfare, no shouting or breaking or fists
being echanged; simply the both of them watching silently as Musashi departed and left a hole that Hiruma didn’t quite know how to patch.
27 - Hide
Sena
and Monta trembled violently as they clung to one another from where they were
hidden, promising that they were going to heed the warnings to stay away from
the locker room the next time alongside with wishing that Hiruma wasn’t so loud
and ohmygodwhataretheydoingtohisgun.
28 - Fortune
The
fortune teller frowned and said that she didn’t know why, but somehow it seemed
that guns and the devil featured rather prominently in his love life.
29 - Safe
They
were on the bed with their blankets scrunched up around them, Musashi reading a
book and Hiruma tapping away on his laptop, while the storm raged outside and
found some sort of grateful echo in their hearts.
30 - Ghost
Hiruma
had recently cut his hair and Musahsi ghosted his fingers across the pale strip
on the nape of his neck, filing the info away for good use in the future when
Hiruma gave off a barely perceptible shiver.
31 - Book
Musashi vowed never again to leave his library card in plain sight where Hiruma could filch it and borrow such books as the "Kama Sutra For Dummies" and "101 Sex Positions Made Easy" and he wasn't even going to bother explaining to the librarian that yes, the date on the card was right and he really was a student because being a perverted school student wasn't any better either.
32 - Eye
Musashi
had to resist the urge to shout at all the suspicious eyes trailing their way
that he wasn’t an old pervert damn it and it didn’t help that Hiruma only
put on his debauched jailbait face for time likes this.
33 - Never
Hiruma
believes it when Musashi says that he will never leave, but never is a pretty
fucking long time and he will not be able to do anything should Musashi do so,
just like before.
34 - Sing
“Beelzebub
has a devil put aside for me.. for meeeee…” Hiruma sang-cackled and Musashi
knew that with the mood he was in it was better not to ask what was up.
35 - Sudden
He
didn’t know the exact moment when this falling in love business happened; it
wasn’t spontaneous nor was it heralded by fireworks and floating butterflies,
but the coiled power in Musashi that translated into the ball sailing across
the air in a graceful arch ― along with all the blood in his body making a rapid divergence down south ― had definitely played a part.
36 - Stop
Hiruma
was wearing those pants again, traffic stopping and ass-grabbingly suggestive,
and Musashi scowled at the glances lingering their way because if there was any
ass-grabbing to be had it would only come from him
37 - Time
Every
small touch, look, kiss was another small step towards making up for all those
thirteen thousand two hundred hours and 49 minutes lost.
38 - Wash
Hiruma
stepped out from the bathroom, hair slightly curled at the edges while steam
unraveled off his dripping body, and Musashi decided to pounce and drag him
back into said bathroom again.
39 - Torn
Hiruma
had been torn between wanting to thump the big oaf senseless or kiss the hell
out of him, but decided to go with the latter in the end because the results
for those were admittedly much more pleasing
40 - History
Even
if they hadn’t known that Musashi and Hiruma knew each other from way back
when, there was something about the way they met, talked, acted; close and yet
a distance still lingering round the edges that spoke of the past they shared.
41 - Power
What
turned Musashi on ― harder than anything ― was how he could drive Hiruma,
always so cock-sure and smug, to this writhing vulnerable mess underneath him with just a touch of a quirk of his finger.
42 - Bother
There
was a time when Musashi couldn’t quite look at Hiruma without getting all hot
and bothered (damn those tight pants) as memories of a certain horizontal
nature were brought up and he all but slung Hiruma over a shoulder once
practice was over.
43 - God
Musashi
only shifted his head and swallowed deeper, knowing that he was doing the right
thing (oh, very right indeed) by the way Hiruma was shamelessly taking the
lord’s name in vain.
44 - Wall
Mamori
wonders when they will find out that the walls of the locker room aren’t sound
proof and knows that it is just another one of her managerial duties to make
sure that no one should stumble in.
45 - Naked
Nothing
but the slow easy slide of skin on skin, delicious friction, a hand tangled in
his hair and all the time in the world.
46 - Drive
Musashi
decided that it was better for the preservation of lives and old biddies that
could not generally cross the road fast enough that Hiruma didn’t drive and
that they switch over to public transport for now.
47 - Harm
Musashi
decided that throwing himself in harm’s way for Hiruma was disadvantageous when
it came to all the swear words thrown at him but the guilty make up sex after
more than made up for it
48 - Precious
“Your
golden hair, sparkling like a field of yellow pansies,” Musashi had said once
to rile him up, taking a cue from a badly-written article on “How to Woo Your Lover” and had
grinned when Hiruma turned red and spouted several creative imprecations along
the lines of who the hell you calling a goddamn pansy?!
49 - Hunger
Hiruma
is no longer only blaring audio and thousands of colored pixels running across
a glass screen; and Musashi made sure of this by digging his fingers into solid
skin, tasting and breathing in all that he could.
50 - Believe
Always
knew you’d come back fucking old man.
