Fic: How Things Work (1/1)
Title: How Things Work
Author: kittyling
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Rating: R
Pairing/Characters: 4827 (Spanner x Tsuna), 4851 (Spanner x Shouichi)
Warnings: Sex. Nothing super graphic, but it's there.
Notes: I just recently caught up on Reborn, and Spanner has steadily grown on me, so. First attempt at writing him, hope you all enjoy it. ♥
Spanner has always loved learning how machines work.
It's an integral part of the creation process. Take one machine apart, one piece at a time, put it back together again. Then turn around and make something new. Something better.
In some respects, it's the same with people. He's mostly content with his machinery, wires snaking around him like vines in some odd lifeless jungle, the furious clack of fingers against a keyboard and the hum of his running computer. Company isn't something he craves, but when the company he gets is interesting...
Irie Shouichi and the Vongola Tenth are worth the distraction from building and creating, because Spanner can learn how they work.
Before the Vongola Tenth, he didn't have anything to compare Shouichi to. Shouichi always took some coaxing to start up, but once he got going--he could be unpredictable. Sometimes nervous, sometimes eager. Often surprisingly loud.
Spanner is intrigued by Shouichi, his equal on many levels and surpassing him on others. Incredible, in a word. Incredible when he's stretched out beneath him, stripped of everything but thick-rimmed glasses until Spanner takes them off--takes him apart, one piece at a time--and smiles, surveying an expanse of pale skin, mussed auburn hair. If Spanner is too slow, Shouichi will snake an arm around his neck and pull him into a heated kiss, legs hooking around Spanner's waist.
But visits from Shouichi are few and far between these days. Spanner has a different project to work on.
The Vongola Tenth is--definitely different. More predictable than Shouichi in some ways and a loose cannon in others. In the beginning he's almost unbelievably shy, amber eyes widening as Spanner lowers the zipper on his jumpsuit, small fingers trembling as they thread through blond hair, Spanner trading his lollipop for something not quite as sweet.
And then something changes. A switch is flipped somewhere, somehow--Spanner isn't quite sure how he did that, which is a first--and the Vongola Tenth is suddenly...less shy. Less quiet, less timid, pink tongue sliding over hardened sugar and then over Spanner's fingers, eyes heavy-lidded and breath hitching when Spanner moves to touch him, to find that switch and see if there are any more buttons to press. Soft moans in his ear and the sound of his name--not mangled as it had been when they first met, 'Su - hana'--as Spanner strips the boy down to nothing but the most essential parts.
If all humans were this interesting to take apart and put back together again, Spanner might quit his mechanic work for good.
