xoxoxox
The heat that erupted throughout him was synonymous with every nerve in his body bursting into flames. His breathing was heavy, ragged, and labored. His skin was slick with sweat, his muscles sore and his head felt cloudy. There was movement and he growled, bearing his teeth for an instant before they were gently scraping over skin as wet as his. His tongue greedily lapped up the salty substance, his nose breathing in the distinguishable smell of the one on top of him. Or at least, he had been until he gave in to baser instinct and changed positions.
The moan that was released from the throat he was so eagerly lining with marks had him echoing the sound, his hips moving and the body beneath him shuddering as legs opened wider to invite him in deeper. His right hand grabbed under a left knee and pushed it up, opening the pliant body up more, his member burying deeper into the soft and yet strongly gripping orifice.
More moans and he let his lips cover where the sounds were escaping from, drinking them hungrily. Claws raked up his sides and he kissed harder, thrust harder while smiling against plump lips that had let loose a muffled curse in exclamation to the change of pace. A back arched and he pulled back to watch as golden eyes rolled back before falling shut, one clawed hand lifting to grip the sheet of the bed while the other painfully pierced into the flesh of his side. He was gritting his teeth and ignored the pain, the sting of poison unintentionally released was intense but thankfully not at lethal strength.
“Oh, fuck!” Sesshomaru was gasping, as Kouga continued to plow him hard and steady, the wolf’s other hand holding under his other knee to spread him obscenely. He was panting and moaning, body writhing beneath his mate’s; every nerve was singing and his mind had long shut down to any kind of thought besides getting closer to climax.
He grunted as his legs were pressed up against his chest as Kouga leaned in, hands now flat on the mattress on either side of his head. It had Kouga’s pelvis area flush against Sesshomaru’s ass, balls deep and filling him completely. It was maddening to feel, especially since he wasn’t moving.
“Please.” It was a small, moaned plea. Kouga couldn’t just become still now. He was so close; there was precum dripping onto him, the clear liquid slick on his stomach, pooled in his bellybutton and his throbbing cock kept producing it. He had cum twice already earlier, when Kouga had merely been teasing him and here he was again, torturing him.
“Look at me.”
He merely frowned at the order and he was making a whine of objection as Kouga started to pull out.
“Open your eyes and look at me.”
He did as told, his eyes slowly opening and connecting with red-tinged blue. Kouga’s beast was so close to the edge and it caused a shudder to run down Sesshomaru’s spine, his ass twitching excitedly around the cock halfway inside of him. That had Kouga hissing and he buried himself again, Sesshomaru’s eyes slipping closed again.
“No! Keep them open and look at me.”
The Wolf Youkai gave a hum of satisfaction of his mate obeyed and he gave a sultry smirk as he began to thrust again. It was so hard not to close his eyes and look away, but Sesshomaru managed. His eyes stayed locked as each thrust struck his prostate, every burst of sound urging the wolf on. With those eyes staring down at him, he realized how lewd he must look. Legs spread wantonly like an eager whore, body writhing and the sounds escaping him making it all more perverted than it was.
“You should see what you look like.” Kouga ground out, his hips thrusting steadily as he stared down into Sesshomaru’s eyes. “Does daddy know what you let me do to you?”
The particular hard thrust was so hard it almost hurt and it Sesshomaru gasping so loudly that Kouga did it again to receive the same results. He was glad to hear the gasp again and he evened out his thrusts again, except that he made them a bit faster.
“His golden, baby boy being fucked by undeserving blood.” Kouga ground deeper and Sesshomaru mewled, the sound trailing off with a pleading whimper. “He doesn’t know how much of a cock hound his son is. Doesn’t know how much his heir loves wolf cock. And you do love it, don’t you?”
Sesshomaru nodded back Kouga only growled and leaned in closer, their noses mere inches apart.
“Admit to it out loud.” He insisted, Sesshomaru now panting and moaning faster as Kouga began to thrust even faster. “Say how much you love it.”
“I love it.” It came out weak and mumbled with his mind swimming and wanting to do nothing else but focus on the building pleasure.
“What? Tell me!”
“Cock. I love your cock!”
Golden eyes were slowly slipping closed and Kouga growled as he ground down hard, Sesshomaru moaning out and his eyes looking up again.
“Keep looking! Say it again!”
“I love your cock, Kouga!”
“How much?”
“I….” It was hard to speak around the moaning but he pushed through it. “So fucking much!”
“Yeah?”
“Yes!”
“You want to cum?”
“Yes! Please, yes!”
The smile that took Kouga’s face would have troubled him at any other time, but not when he was on the brink of madness from a thorough fucking that made him almost incomprehensible. His hips were lifted, his back arching until only his shoulders and head touched the mattress; and then Kouga started relentlessly fucking him. So hard and so fast it stole whatever breath he had away; he remembered to breathe and when that happened the moaning started up again. His legs wrapped around Kouga’s waist and his hand gripped the sheets until they shredded under the tight hold. This went on for some time until it all seemed like too much; time seemed to slow, his body seemed to be floating in an abyss of nothing but sensation and his eyes locked with Kouga’s when his name was called.
“Sesshomaru. I love you.”
There were no words to explain what had happened next. An explosion of some sort set off in his body, his pleasure peaked and went haywire. His body went taught as he screamed to mark his release, his balls feeling relief as they emptied through his cock in heavy spurts of creamy fluid. One minute it was euphoria and the next, he was suspended in a sexual haze and then nothingness. It seemed an eternity before he was able to focus on the real world again and his eyes focused in on a worried Kouga.
“Holy shit, babe.” He was sighing out in relief, before he cautiously was smiling with pride. “What the fuck kind of orgasm was that?”
“Hmm?” It was all he was capable of at the moment and Kouga chuckled softly.
“You kind of spaced out in the middle of cumming. It kind of freaked me out for a bit.” Sesshomaru hummed out a sound to acknowledge he heard what Kouga was saying and the ookami merely shook his head. “Was my dick that good?”
“Be quiet.” Came the weak demand and Kouga snorted. “Did you find release?”
“Fuck, yes!” Kouga happily relayed. “Your ass clamped my dick like a vice. I couldn’t help myself.”
Sesshomaru quietly chuckled as Kouga laughed before he was reaching out and pulling the dark-haired demon in closer so that he could kiss him. They kissed long and slow as Kouga pulled out and soon settled side by side. The small make out session lasted longer than expected, and when they finally pulled away, it was to stare back at each other in contented silence. Kouga smiled back at Sesshomaru as the demon ran his clawed fingers through his loose ebony tresses, wrapping an arm around Sesshomaru’s waist to bring him closer.
“You know, your post-coital behavior is adorable.” He stated, the older demon frowning.
“Your ability to disrupt the mood is astounding, ookami.”
Kouga merely chuckled, before he was closing his eyes with a sigh. That little fuck session had tired him out immensely. He needed to recharge; a nap first and then a lot of food. He felt eyes staring back at him, and he cracked open one of his own and found Sesshomaru looking back at him with an impassive face. But Kouga had become well aware of miniscule signs that revealed the inukai’s mood. Sesshomaru was worried and he knew exactly why.
“We have to confront him eventually, Sesshomaru.” He said, Sesshomaru’s brows barely twitching into a frown. “We’d only be confirming what he already knows.”
“I know this.”
“Then why is it bothering you so much?”
Sesshomaru was usually silent, except for in bed, but this silence was unnerving. It had Kouga shifting so that he was sitting up and his mate refused to look up at him as he did so.
“What is the worst that he can do?”
His hand reached out to stroke silver strands and Sesshomaru still did not look up at him. They sat in silence a few moments more and when Kouga had assumed he would receive no answer, Sesshomaru finally spoke.
“He would take away all I have ever known.” He responded; his voice soft and not as monotone as Kouga was used to. “I will lose something that is a part of me . . . .he will cast me out and I will have no place in our clan. My family, as strained as our relationship may be, they are all I have known. It would be a loss that I will not wish to know. To remove me from that, that is the worse he can and will do.”
Kouga sat, jaw clenched tight as the words settled deep in his mind and heart. He felt the hurt and fear that Sesshomaru refused to reveal he was experiencing and he strengthened his resolve, pulling his mate to him to embrace him tightly.
“If he stupidly lets you go, then that means I have you completely.” Kouga told him, gently rubbing his hands over Sesshomaru’s back as the inu-youkai leaned his head against his chest. “My clan is yours now, so any family you lose you’ve already gained. My clan has already welcomed you, and ookami-youkai never turn their backs on their own. And even if they didn’t accept us, we’d just be exiles together. As mates we belong to each other and we’d start a clan of our own; just you and I.”
He heard Sesshomaru snort and he looked down as his mate looked up at him.
“I was unaware that we had the ability to do such a thing with us both being males.”
“Stranger things have happened.” Kouga said with a shrug, accepting the peck to his lip.
“I believe male pregnancy is too strange a phenomenon that will not be seen outside of your twisted fantasy.”
“Hey, why is your bearing my young twisted?” Kouga’s pretend hurt was ignored as he was pushed back onto the bed. “You’d make a great mother.”
Sesshomaru’s laugh had Kouga joining in and the inukai straddled his mate’s hip and leaned in close so that his face hovered close to his.
“You are quite often so insanely optimistic, ookami.” Sesshomaru said, one hand petting back some stray hairs from Kouga’s face. “A part of me is disappointed that I cannot give you what you wish.”
Kouga’s heart began racing as the heavy scent of Sesshomaru’s arousal was building and the inukai lifted to begin slowly grinding against him.
“But I am certain you will enjoy endlessly breeding me throughout our time as mates, even though it will not bear fruit.”
It was all Kouga needed to hear.
xoxoxox
The office was quiet almost as if the staff was nervous. It was probably due to the solemn and dark aura that was emanating in waves out of the office that held the former CEO behind its doors. With Sesshomaru having gone AWOL for some time now, he had resumed his former duties and took up training Inuyasha where his eldest son had left off.
The only sounds were muted talking and ringing phones, and barely anyone looked up from their desks as he walked through the cubicles towards the office. He had taken the day, the foreman at the construction site easily placated with the excuse that it was a family emergency. He had left his wife behind, even though Satomi had insisted on accompanying him. He reasoned that if indeed the inu-youkai was set in tradition, then it would be best if the two males spoke alone. She reluctantly agreed and wished him well. Dressed in his best suit, which wasn’t as fancy as anything the inukai could afford, he made his way to meet with the father of the demon his son had taken for his mate. It was beneficial to them that this particular elder be brought to agree and give his blessing.
But he had read the signs in Sesshomaru whenever his father was brought up. The tight shoulders, the tight-lipped silence, the small signs in which the young demon gave showed him that the Alpha inukai was vehemently against this. Masanori sighed and squared his shoulders, ready to confront another Alpha. It had been years since he had ever reverted to Demon formalities. In this modern world, demons had adapted to human culture, so old ways were so rarely used that it had been mostly forgotten. Unless of course you were a prominent family from an ancient line, such as the silver-haired inukai were.
His ookamikai brethren had become mostly humble, middle-class families. It did not mean he forgot his own lineage. His bloodline was descendant of great ookami-youkai Alphas, chiefs of great tribes and strong warriors. It was part of his past he knew he would have to refer to when dealing with Sesshomaru’s father.
His feet stopped out front of the door marked with Sesshomaru’s name and he knew then he was doing the right thing as he read the kanji. His heart was warming at the thought of the demon, of how happy he had seen his son because of him. Though he seemed a bit cold and distant, Masanori knew he would come around. The more he was around their pack, the more the ice would melt.
The sound of a throat clearing had him looking to the young women seated at the reception desk and he smiled at her and bowed respectfully.
“I am here to meet with Tsukino-dono.” He announced. “Is he in?”
The young woman nodded while replying in the affirmative, but he could see her hesitation.
“Is he expecting you?”
“I would assume so.” He said with a small smile and she tried to return it, but was too nervous.
“One moment.” She said while lifting the receiver from her phone. “Who might I say is calling?”
“Yamauchi Masanori.”
She nodded and dialed the extension. Masanori waited patiently as she nervously and quietly relayed that he was there. He was then looking back at the office space and finding curious eyes peeking out from over cubicle walls.
“Yamauchi-san.”
He looked back to receptionist, who seemed a bit more agitated and he had a feeling it was not good.
“Tsukino-dono says to return with a proper appointment.”
His jaw clenched and his hands fisted and he made sure to have his voice carrying from his chest, so that the rumble that came out with his words too low for human hearing would easily travel to the youkai behind closed doors.
“I implore you to try again. It is a matter of most importance that I must discuss with Tsukino-dono. I will not leave until I have met with him.”
She did not hear it, but humans were often well aware through their own senses of youkai behavior. She meekly nodded and went to reach for the phone, but the office doors swung open and in the frame stood Tsukino Touga. Masanori felt when the peeping toms behind him went back to hiding in their cubicles, but his eyes stayed locked and focused on the golden colored orbs ahead of him.
“Rin, it’s alright.” Touga said, his hands releasing the doors so that he can step slightly to the side, motioning for Masanori to enter. “I will oblige him. Please, Yamauchi-san, do come in.”
Masanori nodded, and turned to smile at the girl in thanks, before taking the steps into the office. The doors were closed behind him and he turned back to the inukai, placid face marred by the slightest of frowns.
“Please sit.” He stated before walking past, Masanori watching him as he walked back to the chair behind the desk.
They sat at the same time, Masanori bowing his head in thanks again for the gracious treatment. He was not sure it would remain that way for long.
“I can safely assume that what has brought you here is a matter that had to be discussed promptly.”
“Yes, forgive me for the abrupt visit.”
“Is there something wrong at the construction site? I would think the foreman would have come to me himself as opposed to sending a subordinate.”
His eyes hardened at the slight, but Masanori kept calm. Touga knew well enough why he was here and was already letting it be known he would never agree and why. It was his duty to his son and his son’s mate to do this, however.
“This is not a business call, Tsukino-san.” The change in honorific cracked the ice and the frown deepened just a bit more. “I am here on a far more personal matter.”
“Is that so?” The silver-haired demon asked. His eyes razor sharp and his gaze locked on the demon across from him. “How bold of you to think that you preserve any merit to meet me as an equal.”
“Yes, I knew it would come out so quickly. You inukai are so resistant to change, holding on to ancient history and using outdated methods and ways of thinking.”
“Do not insult my bloodline, ookami.”
“Do not think you can disrespect me, Tsukino-san. You will refer to me by name.”
“Such respect is rewarded to demons that have earned it or possess it through lineage.” Touga responded sharply. “What makes you think you hold any rank equal or similar to my own? I can clearly see where your son gets the bold, and yet stupid, mentality to assume that he is welcome to stand beside my sons as opposed to in his proper place.”
“Tsukino Touga!” His outburst was loud enough he was sure they heard it outside in the office space and he was now on his feet, glaring back at the unforgiving, unrelenting gaze. “You will not insult either me or my son again!”
“And it would appear that the insult is mine.” Touga hissed out, his body tensing in anger. “Did you truly think that coming here would sway my opinion that your son, of lower caste, would ever be welcome into my family. Yamauchi-san, I am of the Shiro-inu royal lineage. I would rather die than have that lineage soiled by the scandal of my eldest heir openly rutting with the pauper son of an average family.”
The growl bubbled free before he could stop himself and he stopped himself from bearing teeth as Touga stood, a growl echoing the wolf youkai’s.
“”To hell with your bloodline!” Yamauchi shouted, before reaching into his inner pocket and pulling free the ancient amulet of his ancestors. He threw it onto the desk, the heavy gold knocking dull on the wood and Touga looked down at it with barely any interest if any at all. “There! The ancient amulet once owned by the great Clan Leader Kouga himself; the forefather of my family line and Daiyoukai of the Southern lands. It was him that my son was named after and it’s his blood that runs in my son’s veins now.
“It’s what matters to you, isn’t it? Blood, ancestry, title, and rank! I am a great grandson of Lord Kouga; the true heir to his kingdom and the leading Alpha of our clan today. I came to you today as a fellow father, with a son who has taken interest in yours and came to discuss their future civilly. You insult my family as if your own is so untainted. As if you have not already muddied the waters with the birth of a hanyou son!”
“How dare you!” Touga shouted, hands slamming down on the desktop. “Get out!”
“So we’ve hit a nerve. You can’t have more scandal than you yourself brought on your precious bloodline. Is that it?”
“You will leave. . .now!”
The beep from the intercom had them both looking to the phone.
“Tsukino-dono-”
“No, Rin. No more visitors. I was just sending Yamauchi-san on his way.”
“But-”
The doors opened before she could finish and both fathers looked to find their sons walking in, Kouga looking confused as to why his father was there. Sesshomaru quite expectedly showed nothing at all and his eyes stared intently at his own father.
“Otousan.” The younger inukai greeted and Touga said nothing to reply.
Kouga had walked over to his own parent respectively and Masanori calmed himself before turning to greet his son quietly.
“What are you doing here, dad?” Kouga asked softly. “Is everything ok at the site? Are you being fired?”
“No, son, I’m here for you.” He was then looking to Sesshomaru and offered him a slight nod of the head. “And for him. I came to see if I could convince his father to give his blessing.”
“Dad, that’s my job.” Kouga said, slightly irritated. “You don’t have to do this for me. I can handle it. Once he knows, he’ll have to give his consent.”
“Kouga-”
“Trust me, dad. Let me do this on my own.” He looked to Sesshomaru, Masanori sighing and looking at his son-in-law as well. “Let me do it for us.”
“Very well.”
Masanori stepped aside and Kouga righted himself before taking to standing by Sesshomaru and facing the seemingly angry inukai behind the desk. As he took in a breath to open his mouth, is when he realized the familiar amulet that sat on the desk. He looked to his father again, who merely gave him a slight shake of the head and Kouga felt his stomach sink.
To see it there meant that Masanori had revealed his family’s ancient line but it had done nothing to convince the Alpha inukai. It was then he realized that maybe what he was about to do was all for naught. He looked to his father, who nodded in encouragement and he then looked back to Tsukino Touga. He stepped forward and picked up the amulet, looking down at it before placing it round his neck and lifting his eyes to lock with those that reminded him so much of Sesshomaru’s.
“Do not make the attempt.” Touga was saying before he could even open his mouth. “I will not waste your time and nor will not continue to waste mine. I will not give you the consent to court my son. Your ancient amulet has lost its significance over the years and the power your family once had is irrelevant today, proven by your humble status in today’s society. You are not worthy of my son. If you continue to pursue him, I will be forced to take action. You and your father, I am certain, cannot risk unemployment. This slight can be forgiven if forgotten now and I can have you both transferred to a different worksite in Sapporo.”
Touga saw his son’s mask falter at the words and he ignored it. If this was affecting him then it was the right move to send the ookamikai away. The last thing he needed was his son being so attached that he would do something stupid. Far more stupid than disappearing for a week to have some romantic rendezvous with a demon who should have been nothing more than a quick fling.
Said demon was merely staring back at him with a impassive expression. His aura was the only sign of his hurt and anger, but Touga was not swayed. And if the wolf was too stubborn to do as advised, he would make him an offer that most demons of his station could never refuse.
“That and one million yen should start your family off in a new town.” Touga began, seating himself and pulling out his checkbook. “Then we can put all of this nonsense behind us.”
“I don’t want your money.”
Kouga’s words had him looking up and he took out a pen anyway and started writing out the amount promised.
“It’s your money now.” He simply stated, singing it and looking up at the young demon who was glaring back at him. Young Alphas were easy to forget what such body language could do. “It’s that or risk your livelihood for a few pity fucks my son threw your way.”
“Father!”
He looked to Sesshomaru, who seemed to be trembling with a hidden anger and he gave the boy his attention for the moment.
“Do you object, Sesshomaru?”
“Is that what I am worth to you? One million yen?”
“As my son you are worth more than they could ever hope to afford and that is why I refuse to allow this ridiculous affair to go on!”
He turned back to Kouga and held out the check but was shocked to find it ripped out of his hands and torn to pieces by Sesshomaru, displaying such anger that he had never seen before.
“You disgust me!” Sesshomaru hissed, flinging the pieces back onto the desk in a blatant display of defiance. “To claim you are better than these people so below you and to act so distastefully is an insult to not only them but to me!”
“These people mean nothing to you, Sesshomaru. I am your father, your family and your Alpha. You are a part of the inukai clan and you will not continue to fraternize with the likes of them!”
“No! They are my family!” Sesshomaru shouted, his hand pointing back at Kouga and his father. “They have treated me as such in the few days I have spent with them more than you ever have in my entire life! The man whose father you turn away is my father as well, because the man whose submission you tried to buy is my mate!”
The next sequence of events happened so quickly. With a roar Touga stood, his hand struck and Sesshomaru fell to the floor from the force of the backhanded blow to his right cheek. Kouga growled in objection and jumped forward to attack in retaliation but his father was quick to hold him back. A fight with this Alpha was not what Kouga needed and he would probably not come out the victor. And if Touga were to win a scuffle, it would put Sesshomaru in a position that was not favorable for either of them.
“Do you know the dishonor you have brought on this family!” Touga was screaming, his voice a boom that rattled the windows and doors.
When Kouga was calm enough, Masanori helped him lift Sesshomaru to his feet, the inukai’s right cheek already swelling with an ugly bruise.
“No more than the dishonor your own actions have done, otousan.” Sesshomaru uttered back, voice still defiant. “I love him. I have mated with him. He and I cannot and will not be forced apart.”
“Then you are no son of mine. You hold no rights, no claims, no connection to the Tsukino name!” Touga was then pointing at the two ookami glaring back at him. “And you two will never work in this town again. Get off of my property. Your last checks will be mailed to you. If I ever see either of you again, you will rue the day you dared to cross me.”
He looked to Sesshomaru then, cradled in Kouga’s arms and his glare grew much more intense. His son merely returned it in kind, unafraid and unmoving in his choice to stay paired with the younger ookami-youkai.
“You will pack your things and go. You will lose your car, your expense account, I will close your credit card and you will never be allowed back. So choose wisely, son.”
“I’ve already made arrangements to move my belongings. My shares have been signed over to Inuyasha and my name has been forfeited from ownership.”
“Get. Out.”
He didn’t bow, he didn’t say a word, and he merely took Kouga’s hand and walked out, Masanori following behind them. Outside of the doors, the staff watched them leave, wide-eyed and astounded. He turned back only to find Rin running after them.
“I wanted to say goodbye, Sesshomaru-sama. And to wish you good luck.” She looked to the two wolf demons, eyes misty but the tears held at bay. “Please take care of him.”
Masanori smiled and Kouga nodded and then they were gone. She looked back to the office where an angry Tsukino-san had stood watching his son walk out of his life and then the doors were slamming shut.
xoxoxox
The elevator ride down was a silent one and so was most of the ride home. It was taken by subway, since the car Sesshomaru had driven them in had been ordered to not be removed from the lot. Masanori stared at his son, or rather sons, and sighed heavily before he was reaching out and resting a hand on Kouga’s shoulder.
“Forgive me, Otousan. My arrival has caused nothing but misfortune for your family.”
At Sesshomaru’s words, Masanori frowned and he stood to put himself in front of the seated youkai, who looked up at him with pained eyes. He carefully reached out to touch the bruised cheek and smiled down at him before resting a comforting hand on top of his head.
“What has transpired today is nothing in comparison to the years of happiness you will surely bless our family with now. We are not destitute now that we are unemployed, our ramen shop is booming with business and we ookami-kai are supportive of each other no matter how extended the family. We will surely prosper and with you now a part of us, it will be your prosperity, as well.”
The tears that rolled down pale cheeks were unexpected and Masanori knelt in front of Sesshomaru to hold him by the shoulders, as Kouga wrapped his arms around his mate. The rest of the train ride was spent comforting the usually unemotional youkai and when they reached their destination he was his usual self again.
They made it to the shop just as Satomi was ushering out the last guest of the day. She smiled as he saw them but faltered as she sensed the somber air about them. Welcoming them in, she made tea before sitting at booth with them and letting them retell what had happened. When they were done, she carefully caressed her son-in-law’s face before standing and kissing the top of his head.
“You will never be unwelcome here.” She told him, her eyes looking at both Sesshomaru and her son. “You two head upstairs. We’ll talk again tomorrow.”
As Kouga walked his parents out, Sesshomaru heard his phone alert him to a text and he pulled it out to read it. He had assumed the line would be cut, but he had bought this phone on his own and paid the bill himself. His father couldn’t cut it as it wasn’t under his name.
WHAT IS GOING ON!!!
Inuyasha had clearly heard something had gone down, but was obviously clueless as to what it was.
Ask your father.
It was all he responded with before shutting the phone off completely. Then he was looking up as Kouga locked up and headed back his way.
“You okay?” His mate was asking and he nodded; standing and welcoming the embrace.
“I can use a shower.” He said with face buried in Kouga’s neck. “And then I want to sleep and forget this day happened.”
“Come on.”
He was led upstairs, where they undressed and showered together, before cuddling up on Kouga’s bed in comfortable silence. With his head resting on Kouga’s chest and the ookamikai’s finger gently stroking his hair, Sesshomaru silently contemplated how things would be from now on. He supposed it would be easy enough to find work. He would expect to black listed from any and all companies his father was associated with, but he knew there were a few that had no connections to his father’s empire.
“What are you thinking about?” Came Kouga’s voice and he let out a puff of air that passed for a laugh.
“How did you know I was thinking?”
“Your silence gets way too intense when you’re thinking.” Kouga said with a chuckle, kissing Sesshomaru’s head. “Come on. Spit it out.”
“I was weighing my options for finding a job.”
Kouga snorted and Sesshomaru shifted so that he was looking at him.
“Don’t worry about that. We can take care of you.” He insisted and Sesshomaru’s brow rose.
“Is that so?”
“Well, we can’t lavish you with the finest silks and pearls.” That made Sesshomaru chuckle and Kouga smiled, before cupping his unbruised cheek. “But, I can make sure you’re well fed and comfortable and happy.”
“And well fucked.”
“Well obviously.”
They both laughed before falling silent again, Kouga intimately stroking the cheek in his hand with his thumb.
“Now you’re thinking.” Sesshomaru noted, and the corner of Kouga’s mouth lifted in an attempt to smile.
“I am.”
“What about?”
“Well.” Kouga said with a sigh sitting up and dragging Sesshomaru with him, arms wrapped around his shoulder as his mate leaned against him. “I was wondering if we could afford catering or if Okaasan would cook it all herself.”
“What?” Sesshomaru’s confusion was evident in the tone of his voice.
“For the wedding.”
“The wedding?”
“Yeah, our wedding.” Kouga clarified and Sesshomaru groaned, but was ignored. “We need sekihan, kombu, and we can’t forget the daifuku.”
“Is the wedding necessary as we are already mates?” Sesshomaru asked and Kouga sputtered as if insulted.
“Yes, it’s necessary. I got family who’s traditional, too. A wedding’s happening whether you want it to or not.”
Sesshomaru smiled at that but said nothing further, and Kouga didn’t egg him to respond. They stayed in silent contemplation until Kouga suggested they get some sleep. Settled under the sheets and held tight against his mate, Sesshomaru found that the hurt of his biggest fear coming to light, being cast out by his father, was already healing. It would still be sore when he thought about it, but most of the pain was replaced with the welcome and love of his mate and his family.
“What are you still thinking about?” Kouga’s voice sounded as if he were not too far from falling asleep.
“It’s nothing.” Sesshomaru said, snuggling closer. “You just forgot to list datemaki.”
“You’re right, I did. I guess the wedding’s off then.”
Sesshomaru gave a laugh through his nose, before his eyes were falling closed so as to sleep. Tomorrow he’d start the task of putting his life back together, but for now, he was content to lay there in Kouga’s arms.
T.B.C
It has been a really long time and I have been fighting not only writer’s block but my depression and social anxiety. So life has been hitting me hard and I had no fight for a while, but I’m trying to push back. Please leave your reviews and let me know what you think. I believe there’s only two more chapters left, I haven’t hased them out all the way, but I’m close to bringng this fic to an end. Thank youfor reading and I hope you return to read the next chapter.
