Aoi lay awake, tangled in the sheets listening to the sound of Ryuzaki’s breathing in the darkness. It was wrong, what they were doing, but after they had lost their powers, Aoi had felt an empty purposelessness overcome him and Ryuzaki was the only one who could empathize with him. In a way it was like the burden of being different was lifted was gone, but so was their one connection to each other.
In the morning, after a night of little sleep Aoi got out of bed silently and got dressed in a white button down shirt and black pants and cooked breakfast for them, on the way out the door, Ryuzaki woke up and hugged him from behind. He pressed a kiss into Aoi’s temple and noticed when his body stiffened in his grasp. “You should have woken me.” Ryuzaki whispered and although he probably didn’t mean to, or maybe he did Ryuzaki’s seductive voice went directly to Aoi’s groin.
“I wanted to let you sleep since today’s your day off.” Aoi replied not looking at Ryuzaki. Ryuzaki gently turned his face to kiss him on the lips. “Next time wake me up, okay?” Aoi nodded.
“I have to go.” He said. When he was almost out the door he heard Ryuzaki’s voice. “I love you.” And that made it so much worse. After Ryuzaki’s powers were gone, his personality changed. He was no longer as bitter, he became more affectionate and able to express himself; he wasn’t the only one that changed. Aoi had become less bitter and more accepting of relationships with others.
They had begun to live together to learn more about each other about half a year earlier, but after a month or two, things escalated to something more. Physically, of course, but they were the only people who could possibly understand the other’s circumstances. If only they weren’t brothers. If only they didn’t share the same DNA that made it so taboo for their relationship to exist. And after meeting with Hasebe, the only one that knew about the true nature of their relationship, he kept replaying the words that she said in his head.
“If anybody finds out, you’ll just get hurt. Both of you.” Hasebe wasn’t against it, per say, since they couldn’t have children, but she was concerned for both of them. The conversation didn’t bring up anything that was particularly novel to Aoi. He’d had all these concerns before, and repeatedly at that but hearing them aloud confirmed his fears and resurrected the notion that what they were doing was taboo.
Rationally, Aoi knew that it was taboo and wrong and sick, but in the months that they had been together he knew, deep down that it wasn’t just sex or a fling. He loved Ryuzaki, because one thing that the prophecy never mentioned was that they two people with opposing powers would be soulmates. Perhaps, if they were lucky, Aoi and Ryuzaki would only have been bound by experience and been a part of each other’s lives as brothers only, but fate played a joke on them and they were fated to by lovers.
When Aoi went home, he was surprised at a dinner that was made for him. “You looked stressed when you left.”
Aoi didn’t smile like Ryuzaki had hoped and just said, “Thank you.” They ate their dinner mostly in silence, with Ryuzaki making feeble attempts at conversation and Aoi not saying much. It was through the conversation that Ryuzaki realized that it wasn’t just stress, but that Aoi was actually upset about something.
After they cleaned the dishes, they sat on the couch, though the distance between the two said a lot.
“Babe, what’s wrong?” Ryuzaki reached over to gently stroke the upper part of Aoi’s arm and noticed once again that Aoi stiffened.
Aoi just buried his head in his hands. “I love you.” He choked out and looking at his younger brother’s body, Ryuzaki noticed that the other was crying as his shoulders shook with the sobs and he gently pulled the other closer and rubbed calming circles into his back. This time Aoi didn’t protest.
He loved the warmth of Ryuzaki’s chest pressed up against his back. “What’s wrong?” Ryuzaki asked and pressed gentle kiss around Aoi’s face as he continued to sob. “I’m not supposed to love you. We’re brothers.”
Ryuzaki should have known that this conversation would arise eventually, but hearing Aoi’s insecurities made panic well up in him. “So… you want to break up?” He asked in fear of the reply.
“No! I love you. I can’t live without you now; I lived without you for over twenty years and I don’t want to go back to that.”
“Do you regret being with me?” Ryuzaki asked vulnerable and though he tried to ask it calmly his voice betrayed him.
“No. That’s the worst part because I’ve never looked at you as my brother, but I don’t want you to get hurt again if the media finds out, and I don’t want to be hurt either.”
“We love each other, and as far as the other couples know, we’re just a regular gay couple. We weren’t raised together and the only thing that makes us siblings is our DNA. So why don’t we just leave it like that?”
“But don’t you find it sick that you’re with your brother?” Aoi asked his sobs now reduced to hiccups.
“I’m with the person that I love most in the world and there is nothing sick about that.” Ryuzaki knew that in the future this conversation would come up again and maybe his answers then wouldn’t be enough, but for now, and the foreseeable future he seemed to have placated Aoi.
“Make love to me.” Aoi nearly whispered, but it was enough for Ryuzaki to pick him up bridal style and carry him to the bedroom. As Aoi fell back into the mattress, leaving and impression in it, Ryuzaki hovered over him gently removing each article of clothing, one piece at a time. Ryuzaki’s pace was so slow that when his hand accidentally graze Aoi’s clothed erection, he moaned and held Ryuzaki’s hand over it, encouraging him to continue palming his clothed erection. Aoi moaned and groaned as Ryuzaki pleasured him and he quickly began to thrust upward to get more friction.
When Ryuzaki saw the pants become noticeably tighter, he removed them and freed Aoi’s erection that stood proudly. “I love you,” Aoi said as he looked up expectantly. “I love you, too” Ryuzaki replied and cautiously entered one finger at a time into the other to prepare him. Aoi jerked when Ryuzaki found his spot and his hips moved in rhythm with Ryuzaki’s fingers. After a few minutes of careful preparation, Ryuzaki penetrated him and almost came at the feeling of Aoi’s silken walls squeezing around him.
He pulled Aoi up to kiss him and gradually started to move back and forth with his moans calling out simultaneously as Aoi. Aoi came all over their stomachs and Ryuzaki quickly followed, rolling off of him and onto the empty side of the bed.
After Ryuzaki fell asleep Aoi looked at his strong features illuminated from the moonlight. He was lucky; he was with the man that he loved. And the man that he loved just happened to be his brother. “I love you.” He whispered to nobody particular and for the first time since they started this forbidden relationship, Aoi felt like everything might be okay.
