[His brother would scold him. His agency, too. But everyone thinks it would be just like Rinne to make this sort of mistake.

Mistake?

No. In Rinne's eyes, none of this was ever wrong.

Ai's body trembles around him and he keeps her steady, holding her close to his chest. His hands are around her neck and flat on her stomach. Just as she is full of him, she surrounds him, engulfing him in a feeling that makes him sweat, shiver, and writhe in pleasure. He doesn't want to let go just yet.]

I love you, Ai. I love you no matter what, okay?

[Rinne kisses her like she asks, his tongue on her hot tongue as he hums into her mouth. The silver thread of saliva that stretches between them breaks and spills down his chin. In spite of everything they've done, he smiles.]

Once I start, I can't stop. But you like that, right? I'd do anything to make you happy.
