[ He laughs, still cupping her chest in both hands. She's so easy to bully... he's almost tempted to actually go for more, but oh alright... he'll relent. He doesn't want her to actually die from exhaustion, after all. ]
Oh, I've never had too much fun... but don't you worry, I know my own limits.
[ Does he, though? ]
Though of course... if you wanted me to rough them up a little, you are my Master.
[ He could bite the shit out of them right now before they get in the bath... but he is ultimately just teasing her. He's perfectly content to make her squirm with just the gentle touch of his hands, so he's already moving to scoop her up. ]
[ Surprisingly enough, if only because of how easy it apparently is... that does make him pout. ]
Says the one who wound me up like that.
[ Honestly, she's the architect of her own destruction. Sorry that he broke you so badly after you deliberately set him on yourself after winding him up too much. ]
...I suppose I get very passionate about private handshake sessions.
[ Ai blinks at him. And then her weary expression cracks into a proper smile and she laughs, amused and delighted all at once. ]
Oh, do you? I wish I'd known beforehand...! [ She's still giggling. At least she doesn't seem to be laughing directly at him, but... ] I'll have to keep that in mind for next time, then. I guess you really are the type who gets super worked up about idols.
[ He can't help but pout further. Making fun of him now, are we? Even though she's completely at his mercy right now?
Yeah, that sounds about right for her. He sighs and hoists her up, having decided she's been cleaned up enough for the tub. It's not perfect, but she's certainly cleaner than when she was being plowed into the mattress... ]
You stole me? If anything, I think I stole you.
[ She still has plenty of him inside her to prove it... seriously, how long did they go for!? So he says, carrying her to the tub. ]
You really think? But you came here answering me, right? If you were the one who followed me, that means I stole you.
[ Her arms find their way around his neck like they usually do whenever he scoops her up like this - seriously, remember when this was embarrassing? Ai sure doesn't - but rather than holding on, this time it's a little more like a hug. Maybe because it took some visible effort to do it, but her arms squeeze gently around him anyway. ]
And it's not like you needed to steal me. You can't steal somebody who wants to be taken, can you?
[ They've done so much to each other that at this point, the concept of shame to them in regards to intimacy... may as well be fully gone. Hell, this isn't even the first time they've bathed together.
In any case, he laughs. Somebody who wants to be taken, huh? ]
Perhaps, but in your case...
[ He steps into the bath, sinking into the water and settling her into his lap once again. ]
I'd say I've certainly stolen you from everybody else.
[ Hot water stings her skin, just on the verge of being a little too overwhelming, but Ai knows from experience by now (what does it say about her that she's experienced at this by this point...) that she'll be a whole lot more sore without it - and that she'll adjust quickly enough. Yet another one of those slightly pitiful noises wells up out of her throat and the moment they're settled, Ai melts against him again, somehow even more loose and pliant than she was before. ]
Hmm. When you put it like that, I guess you're not really wrong. I'm supposed to be an idol who cheers for everybody but nowadays, you're the only one I worry about supporting. Jeez, you're such a needy fan.
[ She shifts a little so she can press her forehead into the side of his neck. ]
But that's okay. I'm glad you need me.
[ A pause. Then a playful huff. ]
Is that why you had to make such a mess, though? I know some guys get it in their head about claiming their territory like that but it won't work for you. You're a Servant.
[ aqua and ruby are enough for her to be worrying about!!! ]
[ He grins and brings his chin down to rest on her head as she leans into his neck. He holds her with his arms wrapped around her, just under her chest. Sure, he may be a Servant, but she's an idol. He'd say that warrants a little territory claiming, doesn't it? ]
Maybe, maybe... that or I do it because you like it.
[ Which... isn't not true, but let's face it, it's mostly because he likes seeing her like that. ]
But who's to say? Certainly not me. I'm just a needy fan, after all.
[ His hands start to roam and caress her body as it usually does... gentle and tender, contrasting starkly with before. He squeezes her lightly here and there, but never more than enough to cause a brief jolt of sensation. He ends up spending quite a lot of focus on her thighs... turning dark and useless from the brutal punishment they've received. ]
[ None of it hurts - which is a miracle, all things considered. It's like the pleasantly overwhelming discomfort of working out stiff joints, one of those achy deep tissue massages lifestyle gurus are always gushing about. Not that Ai's ever had anyone massage her there. ]
You'll definitely have to fix me up properly tomorrow... [ Grumble grumble. ] Unless you want to be stuck waiting on me hand and foot until I can actually stand up.
[ Not that Ai particularly minds the idea. She just has a feeling he'd find a way to pick on her about that, too. ]
A proper Servant [ husband ] should take responsibility for being this mean to his Master.
Should I? I was considering leaving you like this for a little while...
[ Which means that yes, he knows he has to properly fix Ai up eventually. Preferably soon. Which he will... but wanting to keep her all broken like this for a little while?
Chances are that's uh, not a lie. ]
Besides, I still think I shouldn't be taking any responsibility for simply following orders.
[ He pauses at that. Oh if only he could just give her a straight answer. Both for the sake of giving her some peace and also just, embarrassing her. ]
Well... it was you, wasn't it? Do you think you were ordering me to... or were you begging me to?
... I don't think giving you an answer to that is really a safe call.
[ The last thing he needs is more ammunition for bullying her. ]
... But it's not like I was asking you to stop either way. Even if it would've been the smart thing to do. It's a good thing you can fix me up after you go crazy like that, you know. Otherwise I might decide you really are in trouble.
[ He grins, taking in her "praise" of his ability to fix her up... so long as she doesn't call it "Merlin Magecraft", at least. He could probably teach her something if he wasn't extremely abhorrent to the idea of being a teacher again.
Besides, her refusal to answer is telling that she knows what the answer is. ]
[ Yet another one of those slightly pathetic squeaks comes up out of her mouth. She was used to it before but catching her by surprise like that isn't fair...! ]
Ah - don't make it worse, you bully...
[ Her voice comes out more plaintive and warm than it does scolding, though. He's doing it gently enough that none of her tender skin is being too irritated by his touch and sore as her muscles are, it doesn't hurt. ]
I really am gonna end up with your fingerprints everywhere...
[ Catching her off-guard gets those cute little squeaks out of her, though... ]
Mn... I think I will, actually.
[ So he says, but his touch remains as gentle and tender as ever. His hands hold her lovingly, he leans down to press his lips to her neck and pepper her with small kisses.
Honestly, if anything, it's more ticklish than damaging. ]
[ A warm breath sighs out of her. Despite her fussing, the instant his lips meet her neck, she melts even more thoroughly than she already had. Catching her by surprise is unfair, but so is this contrast - breaking her apart, leaving her bruised and bitten and scratched and then putting her back together with such tenderness it makes her heart ache.
She thinks - not for the first time and certainly far from the last - just how unbelievable it would be back when she'd first summoned him to even imagine him being capable of touching her so gently and lovingly, let alone that he might ever choose to do it. Back then, she'd been so frightened of him that even his proximity had felt like a threat.
Now it feels like coming home. ]
Mm. Then... Just this once, I'll let you. ... It does feel good.
[ All this talk of putting her in an even worse state, yet he doesn't do anything of the sort. He pieces her back together, carefully and painstakingly, he takes the small shards left after what he did and starts to return them to something at least vaguely Ai Hoshino-shaped.
Her neck was one of the few things constantly available to him, and as such, it's covered in bites and hickeys... which he pays special attention to as he continues to pepper her with kisses. As if soothing her for the wounds that he himself inflicted. ]
[ A sigh escapes her, long and languid and pleased. Her head feels like it's filling up with steam - from the water, from being treated so gently. Each bite stings under the press of his lips but it stings so sweetly that she can't help curling into his touch even more whenever he moves on to a new one. ]
Mm... I'd say this time, it's more of an order.
[ Not that her voice sounds particularly commanding with it being so soft and lazy, soothed by his touch. ]
You have to look after me like this all night. You have to be gentle for once.
[ An order from his Master, who is truly at her most commanding right now, when she's curling into his touch. Not that it makes him any less inclined to keep going. ]
I'll be indulging myself, then...
[ Honestly, the way he's touching her could be considered foreplay from a normal point of view... but considering how they usually get, it really is just affection when his hands find and squeeze her chest again. ]
[ She lets out another of those warm hums. After however many hours it'd taken for them to exhaust each other tonight, her whole body feels like it has the tenderness of fever sensitive skin. It's a wonder she even stand to be touched right now, but his hands really do feel good. Maybe if she weren't so exhausted, it'd be enough to wind her up a little but right now, it just feels good to relax into his touch and give herself over to him. ]
Like you didn't already get to do enough of that today?
[ "Today", she says, as if they haven't been indulging together countless times over the last few months. ]
[ ...Well, at least that means he's not completely insatiable, right? Though the fact he's not trying anything with her aside from, well, this might be proof enough. ]
To think we ended up like this...
[ He thinks back to one of their earlier interactions... one where he suggested that this is all just a dream. The possibility that it would all fade away as though it never even warranted being remembered in the first place.
He had relished in seeing the way she reacted, and yet here he is... pot meet kettle, he supposes. ]
[ A laugh tumbles out of her. She can't help it. ]
Aah, so you think so too? ... to be honest, I end up thinking it every time we do something like this. I was so scared of you back then. I think I would've been scared by any Servant but... you did a really good job of acting like the villain and I believed it. I couldn't imagine you ever being anything else.
[ Under the water, her fingers find his clawed hand and she links them together. ]
But then you saved me. And it was like everything changed in a second.
[ Said as if he was just praised for his role as an actor. He does wonder, though... what would their relationship have been like if he had simply been the Faerie King from the get-go? Not that it could've happened, when he was summoned he was summoned as himself, the jig was up right from the start. He even thought it was unfair.
Of course, he sees why he was summoned that way, now. Still, would she have managed to see through him regardless? Ritsuka did, and she was just his friend. According to her, at least.
...His clawed fingers intertwine with hers, tough shell against soft skin. His eyes drift down to her leg, the one that he'd healed that fateful night...
It really did start there, didn't it? ]
That quickly? I'd think it took a little longer than that.
