“No. Akito said it was fine with him. He wasn’t mad if I continued this with you.” He began. Hugging the shorter rider, he slowly began to relax. Kazu kissed their lips. Once he pulled back, the blonde began to bite their neck, again not hard enough to draw blood though.

The shorter rider just decided to lightly rub Kazu’s back, shifting his weight so that the other King’s legs wouldn’t go numb on him. They knew that their body was light, but placing any amount of weight to ones’ legs for too long would eventually deprive the appendages of sensation and would result in pain for quite some time.

Kazuma blushed and his eyes began to tear up. “Thank you Akito,” he said as his lower lip started to tremble, “ I don’t know what else to say.”

Kazu turned his head the other way, unable to face Akito. “Y-yeah. But… I don’t want to end up pleasing Agito, but raping you…” He started to tremble again. 

“The last thing that I want to do is hurt you. Its just a scary thought. I mean, doesn’t that make sense? Its basically true.”  He hugged them close. “I may love Agito, but your my friend also, and your opinion counts Akito. Remember that.” The blonde rested his head on their shoulder.

“I don’t mind as long as you really love Agito.” he said, “Agito cares about you a lot, so I can’t stop them if they’ve made up their mind. I kind of didn’t think that Agito would be willing to do something like this. But, if I stopped you and waited until Ikki-kun...”

Akito’s eye went dull from the sadness he was feeling.

“I already know that Ikki-kun isn’t into guys, but a guy can still dream...” he smiled, quickly bouncing back to being positive again. “I’m just saying that I’m absolutely okay with whatever decision you and Agito come to agree on. And.. it’s really hard to get Agito to care about anything other than fighting or me. So, you’re really lucky that they care about you that much.”

Kazu knew that he was worrying them, but he couldn’t stop thinking about hurting Akito. “Agito,” He began, as he moved their head with his own, now open, hands, “I’m too scared to ask Akito. I fear that he might get scared and I will somehow lose you. I can’t lose someone precious to me again. But… then again, I need to hear Akito say it.”

“...I’ll bring him out then so that you can ask.” Agito nodded, understanding that it was a matter of consent between both personalities. The right hand was still in the midst of prying Kazu’s hand out of a closed fist while the left moved the eyepatch over.

He was having trouble expressing his thoughts. So the blonde took in a deep breath and slowly exhaled, one of his many coping techniques for his panic attacks.

“If I did this with you, we would both be happy. But… I can’t help but think that in the process of us being together… I could potentially be raping Akito.”

“I’m surrounded by idiots.”

“It’s not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas… and thinking.”

“Do you trust me?”

“He touched the butt.”

“Remember, laughter is 10 times more powerful than screams.”

“Can you feel the things I feel right now with you?”

“I don’t hate you. I’m just mad.”

“Thanks for the adventure. Now, go have one of your own.”

“My dream wouldn’t be complete without you in it.”

“You’ll be in my heart from this day on, now, and forever more.”

“I’m like a shooting star, I’ve come so far. I can’t go back to where I used to be.”

“When you lose someone you love, they never really leave you. They move into a special place in your heart.”

“If everybody were like everybody else, how boring it would be.”

“The problem is you. You place your own feelings above everything.”

“This is awkward. Not you’re awkward, but just because I’m awkward. You’re gorgeous. Wait, what?”

“I knew it. Why did you lie to me? Did you think I was stupid that I wouldn’t figure it out?”

“You never know what you’ll find until you try a little something new.”

“He loves me. He loves me a lot. He loves me. He loves me even more.”

“I wasn’t worried at all, except for the part where I was worried, of course.”

“Never say goodbye, because saying goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting.”

“When the morning comes and the sun begins to rise, I will lose you because it’s just a dream.”

“He would never do anything to hurt me.”

“He’s a guy.”

“Something feels funny. I must be thinking too hard.”

“Don’t leave me, okay?”

“Love is an open door. Life can be so much more with you.”

“You won’t forget me, will you?”

“I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it.”

“Think, think, think, think. I’m thinking about what to think about.”

“I don’t even know what love is.”

“You know, you don’t talk very much. I like you.”

“People always do crazy things when they’re in love.”

“You said you’d always be there for me, but you’re not. And it’s because of me. It’s my fault.”

“I know it is, because when I look at you, I can feel it. And I look at you, and I’m home.”

“Nothing was ever accomplished with tears.”

“You really can’t judge things by the way they look.”

“Show a friend how much you care.”

“Tell _______ - she’s very lucky… to have a friend like you.

“Excited to live with you, and laugh with you, and cry with you.”

“Maybe she’s just not the one for you.”

“That’s what I’m afraid of.

“Never leave a friend behind.”

“I love you very much, dear.”

“I love you more.”

“I love you most.”

You don’t have to understand. You just have to believe.“

“I’m not crazy. My reality is just different than yours.”

“Life is too short to wear boring shoes.”

“Just change your perspective, your point of view. The magic of your dreams is right inside of you.”

“I love it. I could kiss you! I could, I mean I’d like to. May I? We me. I mean, may we?”

“I feel that there really is another way, and then I feel that perhaps there isn’t.”

“Things aren’t always what they seem.”

“Love? Just a boy, meeting a girl under the right conditions.”

“He takes me in his arms, and then I wake up. Yes, it’s only in my dreams.”

“Never underestimate the power of a good hug.”

“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all.”

“It’s nice to be important, but it’s important to be nice.”

“My mom will make everything okay.”

“You’re the one. It was you all the time.

“A dream is a wish your heart make.”

“You think I’m an ignorant savage.”

“How can there be so much that you don’t know?”

“You think you own whatever land you land on.”

“The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim.”

“You’ll learn things you never knew you never knew.”

“Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon?”

“I couldn’t care less what she’ll wear, or what she looks like.”

“How about a girl who’s got a brain?”

“He thinks he’s such a lady killer.”

“Yeah, the only girl who loves him is his mother.”

“Some things never change.”

“Are you sure this water’s sanitary? It looks questionable to me.”

“Look inside yourself. You are more than what you have become.”

“Oo De Lally!!”

“Sometimes the right path is not the easiest.”

“If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme.”

“Slimy, yet satisfying… Tastes like chicken.”

However, all the while he was doing this, he began to tremble. He hoped that the other rider didn’t notice it. He was fighting off his anxiety.

"Yeah, that's better." They answered. "But, how are you feeling? Wanna stop for a little while?"

Agito was a little worried about Kazu. He'd just had an anxiety attack not that long ago... So, it wasn't right for them to be doing something like this after his body had just calmed down.

Maybe they should just stop making demands of the other and do as they said they'd do -- look after him for the night.

“No. I don’t want Akito getting mad at you.” He turned their head towards himself and gave them a kiss on the lips. While one of his hands was at their cheek, the other was at their waist, keeping them from moving out of Kazuma’s reach.

“Knowing Akito, he’d just cover it all up with make-up.” they sighed, lightly smacking Kazu’s arm. “He buys the kind that can cover up Sharpie ink, so a few hickeys wouldn’t be hard to hide. Now bite me Blondie, before I actually get mad at you.”

He didn’t hesitate to put his arms around the shorter rider. Then tightened them. The blonde began to bite Agito’s neck, a soft bite. But right after the nibble, he would kiss the area. 

Having heard the Fang King say that he ‘wanted’ him, made Kazu feel important to someone. It made him feel useful, wanted, needed. 

Once he reached their ear, he lightly nibbled on it too.

“Well, you don’t know me as well as I’d thought.” they chuckled. “You’re kind of what Akito says is my type or some shit. Do most people have types? I don’t normally pay attention to shit like that.”

Kazu then leaned a little forward and stretched his hand out to them. He looked at them, waiting for the Fang King to decide if to take it or not. 

“Then, don’t worry about it. Red’s just my favorite color. Blood red to be specific.” they said, taking the blond’s hand with slight hesitation. “It’s your bedroom. Do what you like with it.”

“You remember when we had to steal the bank book from the RV?” they asked, “Try having a bed that’s a pull-out sofa and having to share it with a grown-ass man due to a lack of space. Your room is decorated with things that you like, rather than a cage and cigarette butts overflowing from an ashtray.”
