As Rei slowly turned away from the shutters, his eyes darted between Sho and the entrance, still wary in his reluctant retreat. Even when he sat down next to Sho and leaned against him, Rei continued to watch the door.
“I’m sure the shutters will hold,” Sho said, casting a sidelong glance at Rei. “Besides, even without me, you can still get off this island on your own with the boat, the compass and the other things in the chest. You don’t need me,” he reasoned.
“Don’t say that,” Rei muttered angrily, offended. He spun around. “What makes you think that-”
The smile on Sho’s face caught Rei off guard, causing the break in his words. Realising that Sho didn’t mean what he said, Rei felt heat rise to his face and he quickly turned back around. “Don’t tease me,” he muttered.
Rei felt Sho’s shoulders shake as he laughed silently. Feeling movement around his waist, Rei looked down and found Sho’s arm around him, holding him. Rei was surprised. Sho was almost never this forward with his actions. His initiative made Rei smile.
Sho felt Rei’s cool fingers slowly curl around his hand, his movements slow as if shy as their fingers interlocked. Tightening his hold around Rei, Sho let out a long sigh and felt the tension he didn’t even know he had leave his body. Rei leaned back into Sho more as he shifted, turning away from the hearth to face Sho’s direction.
As the wind outside started howling and rattling the shutters, Rei reached for Sho with his other hand, fingers grazing Sho’s jaw as Rei drew him into a kiss. This time, Sho was ready to respond, parting his lips as they met. Rei’s desires grew and he slid into Sho’s lap, gently grinding against Sho while his arms encircled Sho’s body and his hands wandered, feeling the contours of this body that Rei had become familiar with.
Sho wrapped his arms around Rei, one hand around the nape of his neck and the other on the small of his back, supporting his body. As his fingertips scratched at Rei’s neck, Rei made a soft noise, moaning and pressing closer to Sho. He then caught the fabric of Sho’s robes as if eager to rip it off. Rei’s enthusiasm aroused Sho, encouraging him to deepen their kiss as his hand slid lower, approaching Rei’s hips. Just then, Rei gasped and recoiled, breaking away from Sho.
“What? What’s wrong?” Sho asked, perplexed by Rei’s sudden baulking.
“Sho, I… I can’t, I’m sorry,” Rei muttered quickly, looking everywhere except for Sho. He now sat a distance away from Sho, legs tucked under him.
Sho slowly approached him. “Rei?” He carefully reached for Rei’s hand, taking it in his own. Thankfully, Rei didn’t pull away. It was not him that was the issue then. “Rei, what’s wrong?”
Rei looked at Sho warily, a measure of fear in his eyes. “I… It’s…” His sentences were halting, starting and stopping as if he was struggling to find the words for himself.
“Did someone hurt you before?” Sho asked, trying to find a plausible reason for Rei’s discomfort.
“No! No, it’s not like that!” Rei exclaimed, aghast at the mere thought of it.
“Is it… me-”
Rei rushed forward, closing the gap between Sho and himself. “Even further from the truth,” he breathed, desperation in his voice. Rei’s hands were on Sho again, stroking his face as he closed his eyes and pressed his forehead to Sho’s, a furrow between his brows. “If only you knew how much I…”
“Hm?” Sho pushed back against Rei, a light headbutt. As Rei looked at him with his doleful eyes, Sho chuckled with a resigned sigh and got up. “Fine, I guess there’s no going any further then.”
“Huh?” Rei stared as Sho walked off and tucked himself in under the blankets. “You’re just-”
“Going to bed,” Sho finished, grunting as he turned to lie on his side. “Otherwise you’ll just leave me with a serious case of blue balls.”
Just as Sho was getting comfortable, he felt the covers fly off him and a hand grab his shoulder to turn him back around. Lying flat on his back, Sho was pinned down by Rei who had a solemn expression on his face as he held up two fingers before Sho.
“Two things,” Rei announced. “One, no looking. Two, no touching.”
“Huh?” Sho gave him an incredulous look. “What the hell am I supposed to do then?”
Rei’s lips stretched into a sly smile. Sticking his index finger out, Rei planted it on Sho’s bare chest between the opening of his robes and slowly dragged it down his torso, loosening the fabric slightly until he stopped at the belt that kept Sho’s robes folded close.
“You can just lie here and relax,” he said, smirking as he tugged the belt loose and brought the long strip of fabric over Sho’s eyes.
“Wait, are you seriously doing this?” Sho asked as the belt, now a blindfold for him, was fastened. “But why?”
Sho could still feel Rei on him, now rubbing a hand over his exposed torso, making him shiver involuntarily. Unable to see, Sho tried to sit up and grab hold of Rei but he was pushed back down. He heard a rustle that could only come from the fabric of Rei’s robes. Sho then felt Rei’s chilly hands taking hold of his wrists, bringing them above Sho’s head as he tied them together, supposedly with the belt from Rei’s own robes.
“I said no touching,” Rei whispered into Sho’s ear as he drew away.
Sho cleared his throat, unable to respond. The thought of Rei body now bare before him turned him on and Rei clearly noticed this as his fingers close around his phallus, growing harder under Rei’s touch. There was a puff of warm air on Sho’s chest as Rei chuckled at Sho’s shallow breaths.
A wet flick at his nipple made Sho gasp. Rei’s lips were on his chest, kissing Sho’s skin then moving back to suck at his nipples. Being unable to see intensified the sensations for Sho. With Rei’s languid stroking of his erection and playful teasing of his torso, Sho’s huffing turned to low groans.
Sho felt Rei’s weight on him as he leaned forward and pressed his body against him. He had held Rei as they slept many times before, but this was the first time they were lying skin-to-skin and the deep intimacy that they shared brought a surge of warmth in him. Feeling a strong desire to hold Rei in his arms, Sho tugged at his restraints restlessly.
As Rei’s fingers continued stroking Sho’s erection with an irregular rhythm, Rei brought his other hand up to Sho’s arms, his touch bringing stillness to Sho’s struggling. With another frustrated groan, Sho moaned breathlessly, “Rei…”
“Sho…” Rei returned his call. Sho felt Rei nuzzle in the crook of his neck, planting soft kisses as he did. “Sho… may I put you in me?” Rei asked as he proceeded to suck on Sho’s ear lobe.
Breathlessly, Sho whispered, “Please do…”
Rei’s giggle sounded oh-so-pleasant as he drew away again and Sho let out a long frustrated sigh from the loss of physical contact. He felt Rei’s precum-slicked hand trailing cold lines on his thighs as his other hand stroked his face.
Then, a soft sigh came from Rei and Sho felt his legs on either side of him, straddling him. It suddenly occurred to Sho that Rei had always kept his legs together, even when asleep. He had never even entangled his legs with Sho’s before.
Sho felt Rei holding his erection, stroking him again as he raised himself above Sho and adjusted his position. All at once, Sho felt heat envelop him and Rei released a blissful sound, between a sigh and a moan. The soft skin of Rei’s legs gripped Sho’s torso as he began to move up and down, moaning each time he sank down onto Sho.
Arching his back, Sho tugged at his restraints again, eager to return Rei’s affections. With
