二十二 (Accidental Voice Post, Japanese)

[onikui_tengu]

[The communicator is turned on with an audible click, and the following snippet of conversation can be heard taking place between Haruka and Kantarou.]

Why wouldn't you let me to take you there?

They would just be needlessly concerned.

This is mostly my fault...

Don't be silly, I should have actually spoken with Subaru-kun first and learned more.

...Does it hurt? That scar...

...I'm fine...

I'll go get some bandages.

...Thank you.

Try to rest in the meantime.

Don't worry, I'll be fine in no time~

Hm. [A door closes with a soft creak, and then Haruka can be heard leaning back on a part of the wall nearby with a light thump before slowly sliding down.] Tired...

[A few fingers brush up against the comm as he takes it out of his pocket.] Che. That was hardly satisfying.

[Click.]

[[ooc Seishirou and Kantarou had a spiritual battle in the graveyard. Haruka and Ice also fought with them. The end was a draw--all parties injured. Haruka carried Kantarou back to their room in the high school, though tired and injured himself. He's currently resting against the wall outside of the room Kantarou is staying in for what he hopes will be just a few minutes. Also, from the conversation above: Italics = Kantarou.]]

No alcohol at all? Water will not do, in fact it may increase the chance of infection. In absence of all of that, however, I may make use of your...erm...well, your urine.

[From the face that Haruka made at that suggestion, you'd have thought that the Gear just grew a second head.]

T-the clinic is just down the hall! Or... you might be able to find something in that closet next door. ...I never looked.

[It wasn't bad idea. Only... a bit too extreme for his tastes. They weren't exactly in dire straight here.]

-He goes up to check the closet, hoping for both their sakes that a worst case scenario wouldn't come to pass. Lo and behold, there was a canteen of the "battery acid" within. Excellent.

Back over to Haruka, he dabbed some onto a piece of bandage, tenderly going about cleaning the wound.-

[Haruka stayed in place while Testament went to go and see what he could find. Honestly, he didn't know what to expect, and blinked when he noticed the canteen in the man's hands as he returned.

He sucked his breath in with a hiss as the fluid was dabbed onto the wound, causing it to sting and throb. Gritting his teeth was just about all he could do about it.]

Shhh...it's alright, -Testament spoke in a soothing voice, gently patting away until any possible infection bubbled away. Wiping away the alcohol, he began to wrap the dry bandage about Haruka's arm, bringing it about the shoulder to keep it tight. Once he was done, he tied it off. He moved back slightly, as if to give Haruka room to test his movement-

...

[Haruka made a face. He didn't need to be coddled like that. As the pain died down in time, he simply watched the Gear's hands at work in silence.

When Testament was finished, he stretched his arm out, bending it different directions to test his shoulder. At least to know how to manage it with the least amount of pain. Satisfied, he nodded back with a smile.]

Thank you...

[He reached over to take his shirt in his hands, eying the bloodstain. With nothing else to wear, he was about to put it back on.]

-Oh how ones reason can lose to instinct in the flash of a moment. Even one so well programmed like Testament would lose that battle when presented with the proper temptation. As Haruka moved to place the shirt back on, Testament moved a hand to stop him. He gently redirected him...moving to straddle him just slightly.

He would keep the tengu warm another way.

Slowly, he pressed his lips to Haruka's his kiss both loving and hungry-

[Haruka looked up, surprised. His lips parted, as he was about to ask why the Gear stopped him, but his words were caught audibly in his throat as Testament went to straddle him.]

You...

[His words were cut short as his lips were caught in a kiss. His eyes widened, but then as those soft lips lingered there, he grew more comfortable with his face growing hot.

Gently, he reached over and wrapped his bare arms around Testament's waist, pulling him close. Never parting for a moment.]

-Testament's hands wrapped about Haruka's shoulders, fingers entwining in sweat-thickened hair. The heat of the moment was growing intense...and Testament could feel himself growing hungry for the other. He had no idea what had come over him, but he wasn't about to stop-

[Haruka let out a soft hum as he could feel the hands of the other... On his shoulders, those slender fingers in his hair. All the while, his lips continued to kiss, parting and forced upon the other's. His mind was swimming.

He caught his breath as he paused, pulling back and leaning his head down to press his nose against Testament's neck.]

Testament...

[He kissed the side of his throat with affection. A warm touch on cool skin.]

What is it that you want from me...?

[He whispered, resting his head on the other's shoulder. He was genuinely curious, and maybe... he hoped to find his own answer that way. It was something he could barely understand... this yearning.]

-Testament gave out gasping sighs as Haruka adored his throat. It was so sensitive...those slight touches feeling magnificent. It was a sort of exploration he didn't have with Johnny, who was rather straight to the point.

It was a good question...and he thought he finally had an answer-

I...I want...all of you. Your love, you companionship...I want all of you so I can give you all of me until there is nothing left. For just me and you...together

[comment log]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

[He was quiet for a moment, taking in that answer and simply letting his head rest. It was a lot to take in, and he didn't know how to feel... His heart throbbed, but he had mixed feelings of his own yearning and a touch of melancholy.

Was this something he really wanted? Was this something he really deserved?]

I...

[One of his hands moved away from the hold he had around Testament's waist, trailing down slowly upward along cloth and bare skin alike before meeting up with one of those hands in his hair.

He gently pulled it down, pressing it against his cheek.]

All of me... I do not know how much I have to give, even now. But...

[He kissed Testament on the lips once more, before drawing back.]

I don't want you to give all of yourself away so easily...

[He sighed, and leaned his head down, pressing a kiss anew against part of the Gear's collarbone.]

I want a part of you to stay. You don't need to struggle to find it all over again...

-Testament continued petting his hair, a shiver running through him as he felt that kiss upon him. He felt like he could be satisfied with Haruka's answer, as it was clear at least, that...they both wanted each other. To be with the other. They complimented each other so well that Testament could hardly believe this was really happening.-

[Haruka sighed, genuinely content as those fingers petted through his hair, the tips lightly dampened with sweat. He didn't want them to be apart from this moment, but...]

Tess... [He returned to that neck of his, and kissed it once more.] It's a cruel thing that you do to me... [He leaned forward, and gave the skin there a gentle nibble.]

For that, I hope that you will continue to be gentle... for now.

[The tengu closed his eyes, feeling burdened by the truth that weighed on him before. He still had a duty to fulfill. Kantarou was still suffering in the room next door, alone...]

[He picked his head up, and whispered in his hear.] I love you...

[Then he backed away and looked into his eyes, bringing a hand up to take his fingertips and tuck a few strands of that long, black hair behind one of Testament's ears.]

I want you to forgive me this time, for something else. I still need to help him... he's... my family.

[Closing his eyes, his expression became solemn and he reached over to place a hand over the bandage on his shoulder.]

We both share this pain.

-...Love. That was it, wasn't it? Haruka loved him and...-

I love you too, Haruka

-He turned Haruka's face to his own one last time, giving him a tender kiss that reinforced those words far better than he could have hoped for. After a moment, he parted and...smiled-

I would never keep you from him. Go. I should...go home to my son, after all.

[comment log]

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

[He couldn't keep himself from smiling either. It was funny... both to recall that he even whispered those words in Testament's ear just a few seconds ago, and that the sentiment was being returned just as lovingly.

He could have laughed. But instead, he accepted that tender kiss and then gave the man's lips a soft brush of his thumb.]

Go to him, and let him know that I will be all right.

He sounded worried, and I wouldn't want that for your son.

-Testament could only smile, kissing the thumb before he eased himself off of the other man, standing fully and offering a hand to rise. He would have trouble sleeping tonight for certain...but it would not be sleep he minded losing. With his thoughts on the other...no, that would be a pleasant restlessness.-

[He managed a brief chuckle at his thumb being kissed. How unexpected. It was true too. Testament did manage to fend off the cold. He barely even realized how drafty the room was until he eased off him and stood up.

Once again, he reached for his shirt while he was still sitting on the floor, and carefully pulled it on enough to cover. He didn't bother to button it back up.

Taking that hand, he hefted himself up onto his feet, offering any support where he could. Then Haruka brought his other hand forward, and brushed it against Testament's cheek.]

Wait for me.

[Sometimes... it was hard to imagine that it was really another man that was standing in front of him. He was a beauty in his own right... it was still something that struck him strangely, but he didn't mind. Not now.]
