But Roses have Thorns, Gunter
Universe: Anime, KKM in particular
Pairings: Gwendal/Gunter because that’s the community where I found the challenge , the AU Maou Erwin (I’m really bad with names and I couldn’t think of a German name so I asked someone who gave me Rommel’s name, the desert Fox. WWII) is of course an invention, strictly my own, but Kuroma, of the Yu Yu Hakushu Anime was an inspiration - including the roses. There is a Conrad/Yuuri because I prefer that pairing And Wolfram is not alone. Let’s have a go then.
Warnings: Violence? Actually, very subdued. But hey, this was requested.
But I don’t know if it meets all the parameters specified.
One beautiful day, Yuuri asked Gunter and Wolfram’s brothers to celebrate the new betrothal of Wolfram by going on a picnic, He added that it had the bonus of getting them out of the castle, away from Cherie-sama whilst all the wedding fuss was occurring,… and he looked at the three men with that cute look that Gwendal couldn’t resist, one that Conrad adored, and one that so captivated Gunter. The three men looked at each other, and nodded.
So the Maou and his three wise men set off for the day, fortified by a basket of goodies prepared by the three maids who were only too glad to satisfy soon-to-be hungry stomachs. Having found a nice lakeside area, far away from the castle, the 4 of men sat down and played a game of classic strip poker.
Yuuri’s luck was phenomenal. He still had his clothes, and he had a funny grin on his face. Gunter had his pants left, having attempted to call what he thought was Yuuri’s bluff. Conrad and Gwen were not doing too badly, for they still had their shirts.
When Gunter turned, Yuuri was shocked to see Gunter’s back, marked as they were with ugly scars. The poker game forgotten, Yuuri stood up, angry at the marks. But Conrad shook his head and Yuuri, mouth still embarrassingly agape, sat down heavily. Conrad decided to draw Gunter away from Yuuri’s still shocked eyes.
Eyes still on the two, Yuuri turned to Gwen to ask about the scars. In a stark monotone, blue eyes darkened by a nameless emotion, Gwen began the story of Erwin V,
Erwin the V, the wily fox as he was also called, was known for his passion for beautiful things. Gunter was his lover. Gunter was one of the most beautiful men who ever lived. Erwin loved Gunter. He showered him with roses and developed one called Gunter’s Breath, a lavender bloom of unseasoned loveliness and delicate fragrance, like Gunter’s eyes. However, this flower also had the most dangerous thorns, ugly, long and jagged.
Yuuri found this description to be perfectly accurate that he could only nod at Gwen’s dry tale so far.
The Maou would pluck the roses in long stems, thorns and all and would use these to whip Gunter’s back, then would lick the blood in slow sensual motions. Tongue hot, and probing. The rose petals scattered all over the bed, and some of the thorns buried in Gunter’s back where he would suck it from.
Yuuri sighed, bringing Gwen’s eyes to him.
The Maou did this trick often, thus marking Gunter’s back as you see it. Gunter still has the fragrance of Gunter’s breath… in the attar of the roses. The roses can be found near the memorial of Maou Erwin V.
Yuuri was silent. Unable to believe in that kind of violent love. Just then Conrad and Gunter came back with Yuuri’s favorite drink. And Conrad has given Gunter his shirt, knowing how distressed Yuuri had been with the scars. Also, Conrad had the double purpose of distracting Yuuri’s attention with a show of flesh, that was fairly glistening with his sweat.
Yuuri’s attention was indeed diverted by Conrad’s abs and the well-toned torso, and a flush colored his skin.
However, Gwen tossed Conrad’s jacket to him and wrecked the moment, and they fell to eating.
Well… I don’t know if you liked that.
