γγContents: Rare pair! Gyutaro x Sabito (Sabito 21, Gyutaro 26?) Blood.γγ
The air was warm on this night of waning summer, a breeze passing through the quiet world stroking feilds and softly stealing leaves from branches. It was a beautiful and tranquil evening. Deceptive.
The moon had just climbed to it's peak as it shone it's light onto the world blanketed by darkness, a world that was now crawling with demons.
Far away somewhere there were screams of some innocent person being slaughtered and eaten, somewhere flesh was being torn and blood was painting the walls of a home belonging to someone who believed this to be a lovely night.
Ignorance traveled in the silence and the darkness kept most of the population blind to the horrors that came with night...Whether or not they were fortunate or not was uncertain.
Another night another massacre. That's the way it had always been...That's the way it would always be no matter the efforts.
Humans were weak, even the strongest would eventually fall to the hands of a demon. Humans had limitations and demons had none except for the time they could roam the earth. No matter how hard a slayer tried they would always be inferior. Even the Hashira.
And deep in the forest one laid curled up against a tree, white haori and mask stained with blood, clinging to life.
It was such a sad sight, at least that's what the demon standing over Sabito thought.
Drowsy eyes had been taking in the pittiful sight of that broken and tattered body for a moment now, it was like watching a dog die- or in this case a fox.
"Mm..." blackened nails lightly scratched at his cheek, lazily looking over the poor slayer.
"Look at you... after all that big talk too..." His croaky voice finally came and the writhered demon crouched down, elbows resting on his legs as his gaze lingered over the blotches of bright ruby. He was tempted to have a taste.
Another soft sound similar to a whine pulled from Gyutaro's throat just thinking of what a shame it all was.
"Poor thing~ You really put up a fight but you're just so fragile, that's just how it is no matter how much you pretend different...~"
He admired that about the fox, dispite it all he was scrappy and determined which Gyutaro couldn't help but find adorable.
He released a fond sigh, reaching over for that mask.
"I know you like to think you're strong but you have a habit of biting off more than you can chew. You have no awareness of your own limits and that's gonna get you killed one of these days, ya know?~"
He lifted off the mask, the only thing that made Sabito intimidating. He had such a soft and pretty face, except for that huge scar that made Gyutaro fawn over him even more.
Usually Sabito would be biting back, barking about how he is strong and making violent promises even in his condition but he could only focus on his slow breaths and the harrowing pain in his side. His silence was very telling of the severity of his wounds.
Cloudy lavender eyes stared at the ground, hardly registering what was being said to him. He couldn't move anymore, he had to be still.
Gyutaro brought the mask close to his face, his long tounge slithering out to lick some blood from the cheek, the sweet taste making him shiver. He tossed the mask aside and looked at Sabito's pittiful face, it was evident he was in alot of pain and on the brink of passing out but Gyutaro wouldn't let him fade fully. He liked the little fox far too much to let him die but that wouldn't stop him from torturing Sabito especially when he was too weak to lift his blade.
"You're feisty for sure but at the end of the day you're still small and can't afford to lose alot of blood, how unfortunate...It's sad really, seeing you try so hard only to end up like this...~"
A rough hand craddled Sabito's cheek, his thumb grazing over the mark that made Gyutaro so weak in the knees.
"Poor little fox~ Always getting yourself hurt~ Always being so reckless ~ Can't you see how useless it is~?"
His other hand pulled Sabito's arm off of his stomach where a deep gash wrapped around his side. Just a bit deeper and his insides would've been spilling out.
"You're lucky to have me around to take care of you~" His words drawled out, voice a saccharine poison. He touched the grizzly wound earning a grunt from Sabito, eyes screwing shut as he felt his pain worsen. An acidic sensation burned into the fox's side, overwhelming him and causing Sabito to seize Gyutaro's wrist and try to shove it away, his body weakly twisting and writhing, jaw clenched.
His flesh was sizzling, whatever Gyutaro did was eating into him, thousands of mouths filled with broken glass chewed on torn flesh.
"Come on now, don't squirm around~ I'm helping you out herrreee~"
Sabito didn't sit still, the agony was just too great but at least it granted him strength enough to move. His feet scraped against the roots and moss below. It felt like Gyutaro was making his injury much worse.
It was a blinding and numbing pain, one that made Sabito yearn for his state before Gyutaro's hand laid upon him. The fox moaned and turned his face torwards the tree just wishing he could get away from the demon when suddenly there was nothing. At first Sabito thought his senses had broken, the pain being too great for his body to process anymore.
He looked down when Gyutaro's hand left him, seeing there was still a cut though it was significantly better than it was, nothing a few stitches couldn't mend.
Whatever just happened left Sabito even more drained than he already was, hardly having the strength to keep his eyes open as he looked to Gyutaro.
"See? That wasn't so bad now was it ~?" The demon grinned, bloody hand petting Sabito's fluffy peach hair. "You should be more careful for now on~ Next time I just might have to turn you into a demon~"
Sabito glared at that, drawing a deep breath into his lungs. "I'd...rather die..."
A snicker left Gyutaro, it was a chilling and deranged sound. "There it is~ You're feelin' alot better now aren't you~?"
Sabito didn't want to admit it, he didn't even want to accept the help in the first place much less deal with Gyutaro being all smug about it.
"Shut up.." Sabito grumbled, closing his eyes again.
"Oh come onnn, don't be like that~ I deserve some kinda reward for fixing you up, don't I~?"
Gyutaro moved to sit at Sabito's side, slipping a thin yet muscular arm around his shoulders to yank the slayer into his lap which earned a disgruntled groan from the fox. Sabito had attempted to say something but it only came out as a grumble but his displeasure was expressed nonetheless.
Gyutaro cradled Sabito close, holding him like a child would a kitten. He didn't feel close enough to Sabito, their skin was an annoying barrier between them and the tighter he held his little fox the more unbearable the separation became but he had to settle for this not wanting to hurt Sabito anymore than he already was.
He wanted so much more, He wanted to be within Sabito's flesh, he wanted to curl up inside him and sleep for a while.
Sabito leaned into Gyutaro's chest, feeling so damn tired after everything he went through tonight but at least he was finally safe in the arms of one of the monsters he vowed to destroy.
Another breeze kissed Sabito's face and he finally let himself relax in the embrace he was wrapped in. He closed his eyes and felt Gyutaro's head rest against his own. It was quiet, only the sound of Sabito's breathing between them.
There was no beat in Gyutaro's chest and his body was cold but Sabito made the demon feel warm inside, it made him feel alive...Human, even...
Sabito made him think he could be something more than a disgusting creature.
He couldn't let Sabito go, he wouldn't- not ever.
A few hours, a few measly hours was all the time they had left together and for the first time Sabito found himself wishing the nights wouldn't be so breif but the coming autumn promised to make them longer...It was a fact he should grimace about, not look forward to.
Sabito blamed his mushy state on his loss of blood and incredible exhaustion, trying to fight off the overwhelming comfort and peace he felt while upper moon six held him.
He felt the demon press against him more and he expected to hear something sweet.
"I want to be inside you...."
Sabito's eyes flew open and fire rushed through his veins, a bright pink glowing across his cheeks at the sudden filth that was rasped in his ear.
He was flummoxed and stunned as he went into wiggling and pushing against Gyutaro, their cozy and tranquil moment ruined.
"Ugh! I knew it! Get off of me..!"
"Huh?" Gyutaro blinked, sitting back and watching Sabito attempt his escape only to quickly tire and fall back against his chest. He never had a chance.
"Don't act clueless, you know what you said..!" Sabito huffed, grumpiness enhanced by fatigue.
There was a moment of recollection on Gyutaro's part but once the words played over he threw his head back and cackled loudly.
" I didn't mean it like that~!" His voice danced with his maniacal laughter, shoulders bouncing as he howled with entertainment. Sabito was in no mood to put up with the roistering, letting out a sigh as he was jostled around in Gyutaro's arms.
Eventually the demon's laughter wound down, a warm,tickling feeling in his chest as he hugged his fox closer.
"I didnnn't~!" Gyutaro insisted though the grin on his lips wasn't helping his case.
His voice dipped down, his worn hand taking hold of Sabito's jaw to make the human look at him, a sudden heaviness in his eyes and tone.
"Well heeey,~ you're the one who took it like that, do you want me to screw you or something ~?"
Sabito's face was a furnace and the closer the demon got the worse the heat became until he couldn't withstand it anymore. He shut his eyes tight and turned his head away as much as he was able. He was in no condition to get up to that sort of thing.
Gyutaro snickered and pressed a kiss to Sabito's temple, glad he was bouncing back.
" M' not~ You're the one who made it pervy~" Gyutaro accused, releasing Sabito's face and pulling him tight against his body.
"Well what was I supposed to think when you said that?!" Sabito snapped back, uselessly pawing at the arms that trapped him.
Gyutaro pressed his face into Sabito's hair, wanting to sink into it endlessly.
"I wanna merge with you~ I think it'd be reeealll nice..~ I wanna get closer to you~"
Was that even possible? Sabito was much too exasperated to give it serious consideration. The demon had mannaged to heal him- mostly, but merging the way he could with Daki seemed far-fetched.
He was too tired to deal with Gyutaro's nonsense.
"Just let me sleep already..." He mumbled, exhaling as he rested against Gyutaro.
Upper six knew Sabito had no energy left in him to argue and that meant an opportunity had opened up for him to do as he pleased- and he'd be asleep soon too.
Gyutaro was suspiciously obedient, not whining or insisting like he always did until he got what he wanted. Instead he went quiet and settled for craddling the fox, a silent promise to keep him safe untill dawn.
Sabito knew Gyutaro was up to no good but he couldn't be bothered with his antics, his eyes burning untill he closed them. His bones were heavy and sleepiness overcame him like a poison he quickly succumbed to.
Humans, such simple yet complicated things. What was it like to run out of strength? What did it feel like being pulled into slumber? Gyutaro couldn't remember but it was cute to watch it happen to the fox-like boy.
Sabito's breathing became deep and slow but just before he fell unconscious he opened his eyes one more time and mannaged to raise a hand, his finger tracing over the black blotch that ran from Gyutaro's cheek across his nose, poking the dot at the end of the trail. It was a small and silly gesture but it made Gyutaro smile like an idiot, delight dancing in his chest again.
He closed his eyes, taking Sabito's hand to hold it against his face a little longer before he leaned down, a chuckle between their lips before he kissed Sabito.
It was soft passion, Their lips melding together as they shared a breif but tender moment.
Gyutaro wanted more, the kiss was just a small taste that left him sated for only a moment as their lips parted and he rested his forehead against Sabito's, finding his eyes still closed, the poor thing drifted off right then.
This was enough for now. So long as he got to be with Sabito and hold him he was happy, he already had far too much and Gyutaro was a greedy man and the little fox was the only good thing that had ever been given to him.
He loved his sister of course but she had no choice in whether or not to be so, Sabito on the other hand made a decision to be with him, Sabito picked him over all the other men in the whole world, men that were well-built without blemishes, men who could stand in the sun.
Sabito chose to risk it all in their forbidden love, he didn't understand why but Gyutaro didn't care, Sabito was his victory, his treasure, all his to cherish and hold with filthy hands.
As Sabito slept Gyutaro kept him bundled up in that bloody haori, just watching his face for hours wondering what he dreamt about, trying to remember what dreams were like untill he realized he was holding one right now.
Fuck he didn't want to go.
But he had to, dawn would be sending it's scorching, pure rays over the horizon any moment now. Time was cruel, days were too long and nights far too short.
A heavy sigh left him and held Sabito just a little longer while he still could, laying one more kiss to his head.
"Be more careful for now on, I worry about you alot, you know...?"
Sabito couldn't promise him that even if he were awake.
If only he didn't have to leave....
If only he could stay with Sabito...
Gentle sunlight splashed onto Sabito, slowly stirring him awake. The boy slowly lifted his eyes open finding himself laying on the ground. Alone.
The moss was soft and cool under him as he slowly pushed himself up, his mind hazy as he leaned back against the tree and looked up to the light shinning down through crowds of leaves.
His senses faded back in, feeling the strain in all his muscles but the pain in his side wasn't as bad as he remembered it being. He took a breath.
Birds twittered and Sabito turned his head, starring off into the foggy blue shadows of the morning forest as a breeze fled away.
Gyutaro was gone...Or had he just dreamed the whole thing?
A grunt as he stood, picking his mask off the ground, a hand steadying himself on the tree as he rose.
There was a sensation of pins and needles covering his back, from having slept on roots no doubt. Sliding his sword back under his belt he began to pass through the shady, sleepy forest.
Loneliness set deep in the Hashira's chest as he walked, wishing he could've stayed awake longer last night.
A sudden voice came, it was close, loud. He whipped out his sword and spun, eyes flying over his surroundings. There was no one.
"Aw, did I scare you?~" There was a snicker, a familiar sound -- It came from inside his skull.
Sabito was struck by disbelief, reaching up to hold the side of his head. There was no way...
"It was easy, I wish I woulda done it sooner~"
It shouldn't be possible. What else could he do? Did this mean Gyutaro could see what he did? Could he control his body if he wanted? Question after question rolled through Sabito's head- Could he hear his thoughts too?
"I was right, it's so warm in here~" The demon purred with content and Sabito felt a vauge stirring deep inside him. It was too weird.
"Get out. Now." Sabito ordered, though he wasn't sure what to expect.
"Not gonna happen, and it's not like you can make me either~" The demon taunted- there was no greater entertainment for him than frustrating the little fox- finding him too adorable when angered.
That was Sabito, always fighting pointless battles, he thought.
Sabito could only growl, it wasn't like he could make Gyutaro listen to him, it wasn't like he could cut himself open and pull the demon out by the ear.
"Feelin' real helpless now, huh~?" The voice in his head patronized. "You can be grumpy all you want, I'm staying and there's nothin' you can do about it~"
Now he was just rubbing it in, but he had to come out eventually, right?
"Just wait until later." Sabito threatened, his sharp tone cutting through the demon's playfulness, only elating him further.
"I'm looking forward to it~" Gyutaro crooned, fully believing Sabito wouldn't do anything to him when the time came but even if he did he'd just pin the fox until he calmed down like he had done so many times before. Sabito just needed to get used to this was all.
"Hm...I thought you'd be happy we can be together during the day~..." Gyutaro's voice was soused in sorrow, sounding oh so pittiful.
Sabito huffed at the demon's attempt to manipulate his emotions, knowing Gyutaro was doing this for himself. Still, as annoyed as he was acting he was glad to spend more time with his lover, no longer having to endure the loneliness that the sun brought.
It was all he bothered to say as he continued walking through the forest with upper six in tow, hoping the demon couldn't detect the smile behind his harsh tone.
"I guess I can try to, only because you asked~"
The sound of Sabito's heartbeat- it was so loud now, a little fast- He was happy too.
He didn't have to worry anymore. He could protect the little fox now. Always.
Sabito stepped into the sun and Gyutaro could feel it through his skin- it didn't burn, it was soft, weightless.
It was nothing compared to how Sabito made him feel.
