On a bed two muscled bodies lie writhing. Each one struggled to maintain dominance by keeping the other pinned underneath. While wrestling they kissed and touched each other. Both their lips and hands explored the taut, hard fleshed, squeezing areas they thought would give pleasure. Their bodies grew slick with sweat as they continued fighting. They groaned and growled as if trying to scare the other into submission, but neither one backed down.

This continued until one the figures finally relented. He lay on the bed and offered his body up for the taking. The smaller form smirked at the young man’s obvious surrender. He straddled the other about his waist. For a while he didn’t do anything except look at his soon to be lover. His first move was to gently stroke the soft nipples that looked like little pink eyes staring back at him. He took one in each hand and squeezed them gently. The slim fingers steadily applied pressure until they were painfully pinching the small buds. The hands’ firm gripped threatened to rip the nipples right off their owner’s chest. The young man receiving the torture did not beg him to stop for fear his tormentor actually would.

He moved up higher on the torso that doubled as his seat. He gazed at the hollow of the thick neck underneath him and yearned to pierce it with his fangs. He had to settle of kissing it and gently, for someone of his nature, nipping at the skin. Despite his best intentions he still drew some blood, but the other did not seem to notice. The receptive body below him moaned in pleasure and begged him not to stop.

The one who fought so hard to gain his control did stop. Even though he wanted desperately to claim the handsome youth beneath him as his own he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

“Hiei what’s wrong?”

The fire demon gave no response. In a blur of black he put his clothes on and covered Kuwabara with a blanket.

The youth was confused. “Did I do something wrong?”

Hiei finally spoke. “I can’t do this.”

“Why not?”

“It’s wrong.”

Kuwabara tried catch the demon’s hand, but he swiftly moved just beyond his reach. “I thought you wanted this.”

The dark figure spoke in a disappointed voice. “I do want this. I’ve wanted it for a long time, but it would be wrong for me to take you Kazuma.”

The young man shrank back a little. “How can it be wrong if we both want it? I love you. Don’t you love me still?”

Hiei fumbled for the words. “Don’t be absurd! It’s because of… my…feelings I stopped. You are still a child.”

The human became indignant. “Don’t treat me like I’m some kind of kid! I know what I want!” His voice became a little gentler, “I want you.”

Hiei moved a little closer, but still kept his distance. “I only meant you are still young. I have lived for centuries and seen much while you have not. You have been through a lot, but you haven’t seen all there is to see. It would be wrong of me to expect you to commit to me at such a young age. You need to be able to live your life and feel free to experience things. I think it would be best for you.”

Kuwabara looked into the red eyes that haunted his every waking moment. “I don’t care about that stuff! I know I’m ready to be with you!”

The demon laughed at what he just heard. “Spoken like a true child. Look how petulant you become at the thought of being denied me. You need to grow up more.”

The young man leapt out of bed. He stepped within inches of Hiei and pointed down at him. “Stop trying to pretend you know what’s best for me!”

“Will you please put some clothes on? I don’t need to be pointed at with so many appendages at one time.”

Kuwabara turned bright red. As he put on a pair of pants he asked, “Why are you doing this?”

The apparition turned his back on the young man so he couldn’t see how much the whole situation was paining him. “I want what’s best for you. I want you to be happy. I want you to have a life before settling with me.”

The tall human stepped closer. He placed hand on the demon’s shoulder. “How long do we have to wait?”

“A few years shall suffice.”

“That’s too long! How about we wait a couple of months? Better yet let’s wait three weeks.”

Hiei removed the big hand from his shoulder and twisted it painfully. He listened as the receiver cried out in pain. “This is non-negotiable. We will know when the time is right. Now promise me you will wait until the right moment.”

Kuwabara clutched his injured hand to his chest. “I promise. Can we still talk to each other?”

“Of course we’re going to talk.” The short demon stood close to the taller figure. Kuwabara was the only one, human or demon, he looked up too. His red eyes sought out the dark ones that were forever imprinted in his memory. “Now kiss me. This will be the last one for a long time.”

The pair kissed then parted and Hiei left for the night. Kuwabara looked out of the window. He gazed at the nightscape and wonder aloud, “I’ve already waited this long, how much longer do I have to wait?”


~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Over the course of the next four years Hiei and Kuwabara maintained a platonic friendship. They still argued constantly, some things never change. However, the nature of their arguments did change. Instead of verbally trying to decide who was the bigger imbecile they would question, “Why do you act so recklessly?” You’re just trying to get out of our promise!” Who was asking the question depended on which one took the bigger risk in battle.

They didn’t just argue though. They had late night conversations. They would share secrets they never told another living soul. Hiei would give Kuwabara free reign to ask him any question about his past. They shared hopes and dreams, at least the redheaded young man did. They learned everything they could about one another and then some. Due in part to the conversations their admiration and respect for one another grew to new heights.

Of course their feelings deepened as well. The childish love Kuwabara held in his heart for the fire demon grew into a mature one. He finally understood why he had to wait. Even though he understood it he still didn’t like it. There had been so many times when they stayed up talking he wanted to pull the small frame close to his own and kiss the heated lips. His promise always stopped his instinctive response. Kuwabara was a man and he would not go back on his word.

The waiting was also a trying experience for Hiei. Seeing the one he wanted most and knowing he couldn’t have him yet felt like a punishment. He knew it wasn’t though. It was all for the best. Several times he tried to convince himself the time was right, but each time he knew it wasn’t. The thought of pressuring Kuwabara into something he wasn’t ready for filled the demon with guilt. The thought of hurting the youth always made him keep his desires in check.

For a few weeks now they both sensed the time was quickly approaching. A few days ago they realized the time had finally come. They wanted to rush into what they had denied themselves for so long, but preparations had to be made. They wanted to be alone and undisturbed when the special moment came. They got their chance tonight.
.
“This has been a long time coming,” Hiei said as he licked his lips in anticipation.

He turned Kuwabara’s head to the left and tilted it back. He positioned his mouth at the junction of the neck and shoulder then bit down. His sharp fangs easily pierced the tender flesh. Kuwabara hissed in pain, but other than that he didn’t move. The wound was bleeding more than expected. He waited patiently as his partner sucked away the excess blood. Once the twin punctures were licked clean Hiei kissed the skin and permanently seared the impression of his lips over the bite bark. He blew on the freshly burned skin in an attempt to cool it. The soft breeze only heated Kuwabara’s skin more and made him cry out in pain. The young man jump up and ran out the room leaving the bewildered demon in his wake.

When Kuwabara returned he had a cold towel pressed against his neck. Hiei smirked at him. “I had forgotten how fragile you creatures are.”

“I seem to remember you making quite a bit of noise when I did you.”

Hiei smiled as he remembered how he was similarly marked. It took some coaxing for him to convince Kuwabara to pierce his flesh. The youth had no desire to injure the fire apparition even if he wanted it. When the young man finally bit down Hiei had to hold his head in place to ensure the human wouldn’t pull away before making his bite deep enough.

His marking was wider than Kuwabara’s. It clearly showed the impression of several teeth. Usually he healed quickly and without scars, but this wound wouldn’t. He didn’t want it too. The scar would never fade away it would always be present. The mark was a clear sign that he had freely given himself away to someone.

Kuwabara removed the wet cloth and gingerly poked his skin. He immediately felt the raised skin where the fire demon’s lips burned him. “This won’t heal right?”

Hiei shook his head no. “It will heal, but it will leave a scar. It lets everyone know you are mine and mine alone Kazuma.”

“I like the way that sounds.”

The two figures eyes met. The intensity of the look pulled them closer until their lips met and brushed against one another. Hiei’s quick tongue darted out and licked the human’s lips. He pushed his tongue between the soft pillows and set about claiming the mouth as his own. His limber muscle swabbed the inside of Kuwabara’s cheeks. He ran it over the young man’s teeth and gums. He was determined to taste every part of the moist cavern. The tastes of their blood mingled when their tongues met each other. As the two mix they formed a blood vow that mimicked their markings. They belonged solely to one another.

Kuwabara gathered his beloved demon in his arms and held him in a tight embrace. He laid his body on top of the smaller one, careful not to crush him with his full weight. They continued to kiss one another. The last time they kissed was four years ago and they each wanted to savor the moment a little longer.

As they lavished attention on each other’s mouth their erections brushed together. They moaned in unison. Since Kuwabara was on top he took it upon himself to do it again. He gave Hiei a preview of the techniques he hoped to use on him later. Underneath the muscular frame the aroused demon squirmed in anticipation. He yearned to do more then rub against his lover through his pants.

He panted against the brawny chest on top of him. “Take me now!”

His words were like fire on Kuwabara’s chest. “Are you sure?”

Hiei dug his claws into the young man’s sides. “I’ve already waited this long, don’t draw it out anymore.”

The human pushed himself up on his arms and looked at the slim body underneath him. “Don’t you need something to…you know…ease it for you? I don’t want to hurt you.”

“Have you considered I might enjoy the roughness?” To illustrate his point Hiei sunk his claws even deeper. “You should know me well enough to know I like pain.”

They both quickly undressed. Kuwabara positioned himself properly. He still worried about causing injury. He wanted to ask for Hiei’s permission again, but didn’t want to risk being clawed. The feisty apparition may enjoy receiving pain, but he did not. He looked down into the red eyes beneath him. They shone with feral lust of a passion long denied. Looking into those ruby orbs gave him the answer to his unasked question.

He pulled his hips back and propelled them forward with tremendous force. He thought it was better to do the grisly deed in one swift motion rather than dragging it out. The slim body arched and breathed heavily for several moments.

“You okay?”

The crimson eyes danced with satisfaction. “You worry too much.” His fingers lightly grazed the spot where he marked the young man. “I want you to take me now. I can’t wait any longer.” His fingers grasped the sensitive spot. He pushed down hard. “Give me what I want Kazuma.”

Instead of feeling pain Kuwabara felt an intense wave of pleasure. His body shuddered as the slim fingers massaged the marking. He drove himself in and out the compact body underneath him. He smiled as he heard Hiei groan loudly. He never thought he would live to hear the usually stoic demon beg for of his touch. As he established his rhythm he felt less resistance as he moved. He assumed it had to be blood. The gentle soul didn’t like the idea of making his partner bleed. He considered stopping, but look of ecstasy etched across Hiei’s delicate features gave him the desire to go on. As Kuwabara stroked the demon’s warm insides he discovered a spot that made the apparition call out his name. He like the way it echoed off the walls as he repeatedly rammed the sensitive area. The redhead found himself lost in the inner sanctum of Hiei’s body. He wanted to stay buried in it forever.

While Kuwabara pumped the slight body beneath him he used his right hand to trace the spot where he marked his territory. Hiei writhed as he felt the additional stimuli. His fingers raked the human’s broad back with a will of their own. The small body convulsed violently. Kuwabara felt a splash of warm liquid against his stomach. He looked down and saw Hiei’s head loll to one side. He smiled as he realized he made the demon climax. A few short moments later he did too.

Kuwabara rolled on to his back and pulled the limp body on top of him. He lifted the apparition’s chin and gently kissed his lips. “Was it worth the wait?”

Hiei opened one eye and looked at the person who won his heart. He smiled weakly and nodded his head yes. “It was nice.”

“Nice! Is that all you have to say?”

“It was very nice.”

The human scoffed at the compliment. He wrapped his blanket around the two of them. Lulled by the rhythm of the heartbeat below him Hiei fell into an easy sleep. Kuwabara followed his example and dozed off too.

Around 2am Hiei awoke to find a pair of blue eyes gazing at him intently. “Is something wrong?”

Kuwabara’s eyes swam with sadness. He was so happy to finally be with the demon he forgot he was a human with a limited life span. The thought of his own mortality scared him. “One day I’m gonna die and you’ll go on living.”

“Why do you speak of the end when we’ve only reached the beginning? You’re too young to worry about such things. You won’t die in battle so long as I’m with you. You’re too healthy to fall ill. And you won’t die of old age for quite sometime to come.”

“The years go by quickly Hiei. I don’t want to leave you alone.”

The demon stroked the strong jaw line of the face under him. “You don’t have to worry about that.”

“Meaning?”

Hiei’s childlike hand stroked junction at Kuwabara’s neck and shoulder lovingly. His fingers gingerly caressed the scar. “Meaning you are forever bound to me Kazuma and I to you.”

The once worried human felt his thoughts calm. He didn’t know why, but he knew he didn’t need to concern himself with his mortality. Death was nothing he needed to worry about. Him and his love would always be together. “I love you Hiei.”

The demon’s response came swiftly without any sign of hesitation. “I love you too.”
