[As it was with Sasuke, the torrent of vibrant emotion he feels from Stiles is momentarily stunning, enough that he might go under with it—looping into the tender, newer growth of sentiment within himself until it is difficult to tell where his own emotional state ends and Stiles’ begins. The Bond is the cause of this; he was able to keep better distance when their souls were not magically knotted, feeding off of an intertwined existence. He could remain separated and isolated. He was alone.
If Itachi knew it would come to this, would he have ever agreed to the Bond? Would he have severed it in Hell, sooner, at those first flags of attraction between them? Tsukuyomi was its fragile genesis: trust overlaid an encounter free of consequence, lapping at the shores of an illusion as he tested what he’d learned of physical intimacy. Club Penance made it more complicated and concrete. At some point, he’d begun to learn—and relearn—from Stiles what it was like to care for another living person, a part of himself he’d long since cauterized in order to do what had to be done.
Or what he’d believed, as a child, needed to be done. That stood in question now, but he refused to let the thought stray. It would suck them down into blacker terrain. It was the same reason he wouldn’t let himself linger on Sasuke, or what had recently occurred between them.]
I came back. You were already gone. [A faint tug of humor hangs there before it fades. His head inclines, bringing their faces into proximity.] I can meet your request, and give you that promise, but… there is going to be a day I am forced to break it.
I died, Stiles. [I am still dying, he doesn’t say, even as his mind flashes to the secret sealed underneath his bathroom sink, not far away from them now.] Nothing can change that. The past cannot be unwritten. This only has one ending.
[A bare arm lifts to lay itself around the boy’s shoulders, drawing the line of his body closer until their foreheads nudge together, sharing breath.]
Are you doubting my attachment to you, after everything?
[ Information that Itachi had returned to the closet isn’t exactly a surprise – the man would have had to, in order to find his shirt missing and later text Stiles about the article of clothing. But still, the fact that it’s reiterated now in the context of what he’s said to Itachi… His heart begins to pick up speed, trotting along at an uneven staccato as he dares to hope. If he’d remained in the storage supplies closet after Itachi left, would he have been allowed to stay? Would he have been allowed to curl up next to the sex-warmed body on the mattress beside him and covet their proximity? Stiles licks his lips, hungry for the idea. Greed for Itachi’s time, space, and attention seems to guide him these days.
Eyes slide shut as their foreheads gently meet, Stiles almost lulled into complacency through the physical weight draped along his shoulders. Reaching up with his free hand, he slides it through the unbound hair at the base of the other man’s skull, cradling his head with a tenderness he doesn’t have the strength to express through words. ]
Nothing’s written in stone, [ he mutters obstinately, gaze opening on a weak glare. ] And if it is, I’ll break the tablet in half. I died before too.
[ But this is getting off track. Determined to steer them onto the correct course, he continues. ]
Everything ends eventually. Until then, let me be with you. And you, [ a pause as his mouth molds to Itachi’s bottom lip, lingering there in a soft kiss, ] can remind me of your affection for me whenever we’re together.
[It is a foolish idea. To think he can have this, the gentle thing cradled in Stiles’ hands and offered out to him now, as though it won’t come with a price one day. Itachi knows himself well enough, and he acknowledges the pain certainly waiting somewhere at the end of this path—as it had with Izumi, Tenma, Shisui, Sasuke, his parents. All of them drawn into the dark, sinking vortex of his influence.
Chaos will follow you everywhere. Strange that the words of Danzou come to him now, in a situation so outside the memory of that man. But he’s never forgotten those lessons. He doesn’t expect he ever will.
Stiles’ predictable stubbornness is met with a sharp exhale, stuttered, the sound like a tight and close-mouthed laugh. The kiss coaxes him out of the bleaker magnetism of his own thoughts, warmth a humid stamp across his lower lip. A tilt of his head angles it into better and fuller alignment before he attempts a reply.]
There is also the issue of the gem’s influence over us, [hushed impossibly quiet against Stiles’ lips, until he leans away to look him in the eye.] You were not the only one impacted by transformation. I believe it affected everyone, to varying degrees.
[This is the moment to bring up Sasuke. A black gaze drifts to the side, and in the shadow of what they've just discussed, indecision wins.]
The nature of Synchrony alone is intimate. I imagine you’ve experienced it with others, too.
Edited (i used the same word too many times it is a crime ) 2021-03-01 01:52 (UTC)
[ Reluctantly, he draws away from the siren call of the kiss to listen. Warmth lingers on his lips, which tingle from the parting pressure of Itachi’s mouth flush against his. Stiles has to fight with himself not to interrupt the man, to let him speak unburdened by a series of increasingly intimate kisses pressed to the side of that alluring neck. It was never like this with Malia; the difference between his relationships both astounds and frightens him. The fervor of his passion for Itachi seems to steadily rise with every new encounter, with no end in sight. God, does he want this man.
Stiles inhales deeply, clearing his head from the fog of lust that’s seized it. His exhaled breath stirs the loose hairs parted around Itachi’s face. ]
That’s the other half of what I wanted to talk to you about, [ he admits, a hint of uncertain shame creeping into his tone. But he doesn’t release the shinobi. Nor does he move further away. ] It’s like going feral in Aefenglom all over again. I could barely control myself – and the only thing that helped was…was intimacy with people. Except that created a whole new set of problems.
[ Namely, he’d been horny enough to nearly fuck Guanshan in his web. ]
Were you okay? [ His fingers splay at the back of Itachi’s skull, gently massaging. ] What happened on your end?
[He doesn’t disengage the half-embrace, even as his gaze remains angled aside, studying a distant point in consideration of what Stiles has admitted. He was never feral in Aefenglom, so he cannot compare the experience. Still he sees that parallel.]
I seemed to be less afflicted than others, as I was able to keep a clear head in most of my encounters. [Comparatively. In none of those situations had he felt he was going to lose control, but he’d certainly experienced desires and urges disembodied from reason—perhaps with the exception of Sephiroth, who he already acknowledges his attraction to, so his own behavior made sense. Is it something to tell Stiles now?
How, exactly, does this work? Itachi frowns, leaning their temples together as his head slightly turns.]
I calmed someone else with Synchrony when they were behaving erratically at Camp Whitegrave. And I… found Sasuke, later. [Anxiety tightens in the tether between them, but given his emotional state thus far in this conversation, it isn’t a new alarm. Itachi eases over it with a concentrated effort of composure.] We also Synced, although we couldn’t maintain the connection for long. It was… too much.
[The last is little more than a murmur, for how quietly he says it.]
[ Naturally, Itachi remained in control for the majority of his transformation. Stiles might have been envious were he not already so painfully aware of the difference in ability and mental capacity between them. There’s no point comparing himself to someone who’s trained vigorously since childhood in self-discipline and -control. Instead, he’s relieved to hear that the other man hadn’t faced the same difficulties. Maybe that’s something he can assist Stiles with if these transformations are going to become a regular occurrence.
Brows knit together in concern at the mention of Sasuke. The idea that it was “too much” for both Uchiha to Sync makes a tragic kind of sense given their convoluted, bloody history. Sharing that level of casual intimacy is difficult for most people, never mind two estranged brothers awkwardly attempting to rebuild a mangled relationship. Stiles believes they simply need more time. He suspects that the transformations fueled a stream of powerful emotion too raw for either sibling to tolerate. Well, he’s not exactly wrong. ]
This is going to sound so stupid after I came here basically demanding you to commit to – to being my boyfriend, [ he begins with a groan, pressing his forehead against Itachi’s shoulder and leaning his weight against the other man. ] But I think we need to see other people.
As in, other people too. We’re not always going to be around to Sync with each other. And if things get out of hand, like going feral or something…
[ Uncertainty gives him pause, his head rolling so he can glance up at Itachi. ]
[Boyfriend. A pale, shallow word for the way Stiles makes him feel and how he might personally define their relationship—something he only ever heard as a child—but he doesn't know what would stand in better. If that's what Stiles wishes to call him...
The predicament introduced deserves his greater attention, even as it inspires confusion. It feels as though he's walking through the dark, uncertain of boundaries and expectations, unaware of cultural differences Stiles may be acting on without his awareness.]
I'm not certain I understand. [Itachi leans back against the cabinets, searching for eye contact.] You want us to have other relationships as well?
[ The response is immediate, sharp even. A tendril of insecure possessiveness creeps over him and he lifts his head, staring at Itachi with a hard, uncompromising look. It fades the longer he holds the man’s gaze, sensing the confusion that his words have elicited. He’s not being clear here – probably because Stiles himself isn’t entirely sure, or in favor of, what he’s suggesting. ]
…Yeah, I guess, kind of? [ The idea goes against everything he values, but it’s necessary in a world like this. ] Not relationships like ours. More like…
[ Slowly, he disengages from Itachi, pulling their limbs apart so he can lean back against the island, hands on the marble surface on either side of him. ]
Physical relationships. One-offs. Uh, one-offs that may or may not be more than once? I’m not explaining this well.
[ A hand drags heavily down his face. ]
You can screw whoever [ whomever ] you want, but at the end of the day, it’s me you come back to. And vice versa.
[The picture is made clearer by that explanation, although Itachi finds himself wondering about its efficacy in practice. The nature of Synchrony is an emotional connection, beyond the strict realm of physical intimacy—it may be impossible to prevent forging deeper relationships with others. After all, is that not what happened to the two of them? Itachi doesn't necessarily consider this as likely for himself; a natural proclivity for secrecy and distance has shaped his own inner world, where only the most stubborn dare tread. But if Stiles were to discover another person more aligned with his desires, emotionally and physically—someone more suitable as a long term companion—would Itachi be able to step aside? He would have to. He prefers to assume he could.
Resigned to the possible scenarios playing out in a calculative mind, Itachi nods, unmoving against the cabinets as Stiles takes up post across from him. A sleek, still shadow in the bright kitchen.]
All right. [Doubt aside, he's willing to make the attempt. Only one remaining unknown:] ... Do you want to share information about those other relationships when they occur? Or should they be kept private?
[Outlining these stipulations is more comfortable for Itachi than he'd imagined it would be. Easier than looking in the face of his immense affection for Stiles, at least. This part is logical.]
[ Unbeknownst to him, his thoughts run along a similar track. Tactility may be required to initiate Synchrony, but the connection itself is pointless without the willingness to be open emotionally. Stiles, who’s typically obsessive about the potential what ifs, finds himself shying away from further exploration of what he’s asking Itachi. For once, can’t it just be enough to know that the man has agreed to a committed relationship with him? He doesn’t have the mental fortitude right now to spiral down the bleak path of who will catch Itachi’s eye, of the competition he’s creating through this agreement, of the self-doubts he’ll reap.
Behind him on the island, the Nightmare’s petals continue to bleed. ]
I… I’m not sure.
[ His gut instinct is to say no, prone to anxiety as he is, but Stiles is aware that he’ll inevitably break any promise of privacy in order to investigate the people Itachi spends his time with. It’s a serious character flaw of his that he has no intention of working on. So, better to be honest. ]
Let’s share, [ he suggests tentatively, arms folded over his chest in a defensive gesture. ] You don’t have to, like, call me right after and tell me. Just let me know when you can. Does that work?
[In the gap of that indecision and eventual request, Itachi watches the boy's body language as arms cross over a lean chest, taking up defensive posture against the kitchen island. He doesn't need to be linked within the walls of Stiles' emotional experience to see and interpret the response after all these months. Still, honesty is what Stiles is requesting. He won't deny him that.
With another nod, Itachi straightens against the cabinets.] Yes. [Then he prowls closer, distance between them eaten up in one short stride across glossy tile. Just as Stiles had earlier, he crowds him, bare arms to either side of the boy's narrow waist in a barricading spread, palms on cold marble. Their faces loom close as he leans in, foreheads nudging a second time—now with darker insinuation than the calm affection of before. Humid breath fans across mouths, Itachi's loose hair sliding over one of his shoulders.]
In that case, you'll need to tell me of your encounter during your transformation, if you mean to honor this agreement. [His voice is low, one long tone of darkness.] Who was it? What is it you did to them?
[ Breath hitching audibly as Itachi stalks closer with all the latent danger of a predator, Stiles watches the other man through half-lidded eyes. His mood is slow to catch up – it lingers unhappily on the non-monogamous terms they established, wondering if this is really something that he’s capable of. But the nature of this pocket dimension demands it if they’re to thrive; Stiles reminds himself of that fact as hips bully him against the island, pinning him in place. On reflex his hands find the waist opposite of his, settling there comfortably to welcome Itachi into his space. ]
His name’s Guanshan, [ he begins, a hint of embarrassment tinging the thread of Synchrony as he recalls the charged encounter. Sensing recognition at the name, he pauses. ] Oh, you know him? Well…
[ The experience had been one of humiliation for both participants, though for wildly different reasons. Stiles expects Guanshan will hold what happened against him for a long time yet. And yet, as he stands here under the unblinking stare of unjudging black eyes, Stiles is able to review the event in a new light. Shame has nothing to do with why he squirms. ]
I was an Arachne, or whatever this world calls them. He walked straight into one of my webs. So, I pulled him up – [ fingers walk up Itachi’s side, one at a time ] – and played with him a little. You know, just teasingly threatening him. But I think he gets off on that. And when I noticed he was interested, I…
[ A sinuous roll of his hips, denim jeans shifting quietly. Blood quickening, Stiles looks up at Itachi through lowered lashes, their mouths just grazing on an exhaled breath. ]
[Recognition bleeds into surprise, and then into a deeper reservoir of arousal. His own encounter with the same boy had felt electrically charged, some inexplicable lure that continually drew them together—he's been made aware of Guanshan's interest even if he does not yet understand it. Perhaps if he had less control over himself, in the woods, Stiles would not be the only one admitting to intimate trespass now. More interesting is the fact they've crossed paths with the same individual, in equally fraught exchanges; Itachi is not often one to believe in coincidence.
Less shocked to hear Stiles' transformation has taken a similar shape as his monstrous designation in Aefenglom, the image described burns bright in his mind. He leans his weight heavily, sealing chests to pelvic bone, eyelids slitting at the fingertips up his flank. Remaining imperially still despite Stiles' bold grind of hips, he tilts his head. The gesture is almost bird-like as it takes his mouth out of proximity in his own version of a tease.]
That does sound like you. [Itachi isn't soon to forget one of their first encounters on that city rooftop, being bound up in silk web and clumsily transported to his younger brother, "for his own good."] Had you ever done anything like that before, as an Arachne?
[ Though he doesn’t give chase, his gaze remains lazily focused on the enticing shape of those lips as they form the words of Itachi’s drawling response. He thinks he could waste a lifetime just like this, breathing in the other man’s scent and recycled air, bodies intertwined like two coiled snakes in the underbrush. The deadly presence shadowing him tames his usual restless fidgeting into domesticity, keeping Stiles uncharacteristically still himself as he reclines in the cage of strong arms and long legs. As much as he wants to kiss Itachi, he’s not ready to beg for it yet. ]
On my birthday. [ There’s a dreamy quality softening his voice now. ] It was a full moon. I hadn’t Bonded with anyone yet, so it was getting harder and harder to control myself. Sasuke and Jonas were having dinner at the cottage.
[ Home away from home, as he’d come to know it. Potential for the memory to take on a darker, melancholier note threatens Stiles only for a moment; the solid, hard press of a body against his, tethering him to reality, prevents him from trailing down the rabbit hole of Jonas’ tragic fate. Nails biting, he drags his fingers back down Itachi’s sides before crawling them up again. ]
Sasuke needed to feed, bad. It was too dangerous to bring Jonas along and I knew he’d come after us if I didn’t do something, so I webbed him to a wall to keep him safe. [ Or maybe, simply to keep. ] Then I took Sasuke to a local pet store, where we wined and dined.
[ Their looming feral nature had lent the night a more sexually charged atmosphere; Stiles remembers how both of them had become hard, feasting on the animals in Sasuke’s thrall. ]
If it happens again, [ he continues in a low, sly tone, referencing the transformation, ] I can’t promise what’ll happen to you.
[Thoughts falling backward into reverie, he wonders if that was the same night Stiles had also delivered him to Sasuke's bed, and if their later interaction—a soft, gentle memory of a tiny, tender-winged bat in his hands—followed directly after the feeding session with Stiles. Yet reflecting further on his younger brother only calls to mind their more recent exchange like a splash of boiling water down his spine: the memory of Sasuke in his arms, scaled snake-tail ropey and possessive around him, a mouth covering his own in the cross over prohibited boundary.
Highly inappropriate in the given context. Itachi shudders, emotional response a static flash through their Synced tether that feels like a snapped rubber band, sharp and brief and stinging, easily disguised as a reaction to Stiles' low-toned insinuation.]
It sounds as though you are threatening me, Stiles, [said in his own quiet murmur, head turning to tuck a cool cheek into the joining of Stiles' throat and shoulder.] What are you suggesting you'd do? Do you think I would allow you to restrict me in webbing as you did once before?
[The idea thrums trepidation, tempered by trust; he's been bound under Stiles' hands now already, though to significantly lesser degree. The shape of Itachi's mouth is felt on skin as it curves into a subtle, unseen smirk.] I'm not easy prey. [Shifting up, his lips graze the delicate shell of the boy's ear before taking the lobe into a gentle pinch of teeth.]
[ That brief albeit vicious bite of unexpected emotion ricocheting through Synchrony leaves Stiles reeling, eyes wide as he stares at Itachi. He wonders if he’s misstepped, if maybe the idea of vulnerability in the hands of an Arachne is asking too much. But then the shinobi moves on as if the moment had never occurred, skin-to-skin contact a balm on his nerves. Gradually, the shoulders that hiked up with tension begin to relax once more. Whatever happened, Itachi doesn’t seem to be too perturbed about it. So, in the interest of seeing where their current conversation leads, Stiles lets it go. For now, at least.
The nibble at his ear may have something to do with his magnanimous decision.
A soft sigh escapes him as he melts into the touch, his head tilting away to bare his throat in silent supplication for Itachi. With his face turned aside, now would be an excellent time to catalogue the space that the shinobi now uses as a base of operations – calling it the man’s home would be a severe misunderstanding of Itachi’s personality and character. And yet Stiles finds his gaze going glassy as the flames of desire lick up his spine. ]
You’re not, [ he agrees appreciatively, hands slipping under the hem of Itachi’s sleeveless shirt to palm smooth hips. ] But I think you’d find the experience…rewarding.
[Incredible to consider how accustomed to physical intimacy he's grown since those first few, tenuous exchanges in Hell. He does not flinch or stiffen beneath the broad stroke of hands over hips, shirt hiked up in a brief glimpse of skin, allowing his guard to ease with desire for the boy in his arms. Itachi drops his head into the slope of that offered throat to inhale the familiar, clean scent of skin, warm against his cheek and flickering eyelids. A push of strength crushes Stiles' waist to the island's cold edge, immobile. His feet nudge apart ankles, bullying for space between knees, aligning their stomachs in one warm press. Then a roll of hips to grind against Stiles' groin with deliberate purpose meant to help in getting him hard.
There's no preliminary flirtation left as Itachi reaches down with both hands to close a powerful grasp under the boy's thighs, intent to clear his feet from the tile and deliver him seated to the counter. Widening legs further to allow himself within them, his own body a solid wall of lean muscle fitting well and with the confidence of belonging.
Stiles' promise hangs in his mind—rewarding, as though he's done something to deserve this sort of feeling and trust and loyalty from someone else—as he lifts a hand and snares short, ruffled brown hair to steer into an abrupt kiss. patience run dry. It forces Stiles to bend down slightly forward to reach. The pressure is solid, mouths sealed corner to tight corner, tongue prying for wet depth almost immediately.]
[ Again Itachi moves with that singular feline grace, all sleek muscle rippling beneath the loose folds of clothing. The dwindling space between them abruptly evaporates, dried up in the flare of heat that banks and builds between them as hips meet. There’s no opportunity to chase the sensation; Stiles is lifted with an ease that goes straight to his dick, the back of his thighs sliding against marble as he’s seated on the island. Without protest he allows his legs to be spread, though knees swing shut on a slender waist imperiously, feet locking at the ankles behind the man – trapping Itachi in the prison of his limbs. Already he’s squirming, inching forward on the counter until he’s flush against the long body before him.
Pliant lips give way under the pressure of a hungry tongue. Stiles groans into the kiss, his own tongue licking up the length of the shinobi’s in an eager greeting. The taste of Itachi is intoxicating, enough to get him drunk off of. His body undulates in want of a groin to grind against, but on the island he’s forced to make do with a navel instead. It reminds him of the preparations he made before coming here, of fingering himself open in the shower while thinking of Itachi, of the tube of lubricant in his back pocket. Scrambling, he reaches for that pocket now, retrieving the item simply to place it pointedly in the palm of Itachi’s hand.
He breaks from the kiss, rubbing their foreheads together. ]
Gonna take care of you tonight. [ Stiles closes Itachi’s hand around the lube. ] You, inside me. You want that, sweetheart?
[Somewhere in the hot collide of tongues and humid breath, devouring the mouth against his own with a familiar hunger reserved only for Stiles—they've had enough practice by now to make the act nearly innate—Itachi's mind wanders to the wild absurdity at what he's just agreed. He questions whether it was the correct decision, if instead he should have refused and turned Stiles out the door with more permanent severance to these uncharted waters of intimacy. It's become challenging to identify the pattern of emotions within himself, as though they've taken on complexity with time, hued in new colors he's never experienced and cannot immediately decipher. He understands that, perhaps, he's acted selfishly. The simple animal desire to have Stiles' up against his body seems to override all reason. It's terrifying, and in a moment of lucidity he acknowledges the danger he's created by allowing this to progress for the simple fact that Stiles has become irreplaceable in his narrow world.
So the inevitable pain of loss, when it does someday occur, will be nothing but deserved.
Itachi's lashes flicker as something solid it pressed into his hand. Reflexively, fingers curl around it. A line creases his brow in bemusement, then clears in a second's comprehension, and his expression darkens with a tide of acute understanding. He manages a short exhale and doesn't move in the trap of legs.] ... You enjoy calling me that. Was this planned? I would imagine, for you to be so prepared.
[The voice he uses is soft, very low, almost rasping and metallic in the whisper, dark gaze fixed on Stiles' face with intensity. He closes his hand into a fist and then circles the arm around Stiles' back, other hand tucking again under one of the boy's thighs, grip like iron in such slender fingers.] Hold onto me. [All the warning he offers before he's hauling Stiles against the front of his body and lifting, removing him from the counter to carry him across the tile, out through the living room, into what is presumably his bedroom. It's very dark past the threshold; curtains are closed on the window. He gets a knee on the mattress edge and delivers Stiles down onto it in one fluid movement.]
[ Itachi’s voice is made for the night, for unspeakable acts of passion lost to the winding dark. It drives a helpless little shiver from Stiles where he sits, trembling inside in want of that voice washing over him a hundred million more times. The command is obeyed without second thought, hypnotized as he is by the sheer magnetism of desire binding them. He drapes his arms over the shape of sculpted shoulders just as he’s yanked off the island in another casual display of strength. Oh, but Stiles can’t help the small noise he makes at that, hips angling forward to rub his stiffening dick against Itachi’s front. The trap of denim doesn’t permit him much movement in that regard, and by the time he’s deposited on the bed there’s a noticeable bulge creasing his jeans. ]
Hoped for, [ he corrects shakily, barely hanging onto the thread of conversation from the kitchen. ] Even stretched myself in the shower, just for you.
[ Brown eyes struggle to adjust to the lack of light in the bedroom, Itachi little more than a silhouette menacing him from above. Stiles pulls the man down onto him anyway, this shadow that’s crept into his life, still-locked ankles sliding down the small of Itachi’s back to push impatiently at hips. Arms unwinding, he moves again to cradle the man’s skull and draw their mouths together, only for fingers to brush against the swollen skin of two puncture wounds. Pausing, he tries to scrutinize Itachi in the pitch black, his own expression twisting with uncertain inquisition. An attack, or…? ]
Guess I’m not the only one who was getting frisky.
[ After all, the idea of anyone getting that close to Itachi while aggressive seems impossible – barring Sasuke, of course. Trying not to allow insecurity get the best of him, he moves on from the area, hands instead slipping down the shinobi’s chest to tug the sleeveless shirt off him. ]
Invite me next time, [ jests Stiles with a wink, hoping he doesn’t sound nearly as clingy as he feels. ]
[Before he allows himself to be hauled, a dark gaze memorizes the line of the boy’s cock through stiffly tented denim, made obvious in the splay of legs over the bed. And then he goes down to flatten himself against it. As many times as they may do this, it seems impossible he’d ever grow tired of feeling Stiles pressed to him in a greedy seal of closeness, hips chafing as they drag together, frustrating friction between covered bellies and groins. He’s aware of hooked ankles at his back; he feels touch travel his throat, lighting on the tender, scabbed and healing place where rows of teeth had latched on days ago. The memory feels foggy and lost somewhere far away—Itachi blinks hard at the comment, long lashes flickering.
It wasn’t like that is what he means to say even as reasonable thought evades him again, slippery in the dark. More important is that first admission. Itachi leanly flexes up onto palms so the shirt can be peeled over his head, hair an oil spill around slim shoulders, sliding to tickle Stiles’ face. The contrast of black and white is always stark on him, made starker by uninterrupted planes of pale skin in limited light. The stone in his throat shines brilliant lilac and creates exaggerated shadows. Through Synchrony, Stiles will feel the heady, constant throb of his arousal.
Rather than lower down again, he shifts backward, easily wresting himself from the restraint of limbs to stand on the carpet at the foot of the bed. Slow, methodical hands peel off Stiles’ shoes and socks, dropping each, until he closes his hand around the boy’s smooth heel and gets a firm hold around the slender bones of his ankle, gently stroking a callused thumb along the arch of his foot. Then he drags Stiles inches down the bed to him so they’re closer to the lip, where he comes forward onto his knees in just the slightest depression of weight.]
You opened yourself for me already, [he confirms, tone even but for that telling rasp.] So you hoped that I would fuck you tonight.
[Such a coarse, vulgar word is somehow made coarser on a tongue that rarely shapes it, at the same time a hand reaches to work at the front of those jeans, fully prepared to begin peeling them off, eyes like a physical weight in the intensity of how he watches Stiles.] Show me.
[ A pit of quicksand, yawning open wide, forms in his stomach when his comment about the bitemark isn’t addressed. Stiles swallows, doubt crawling down his throat like an insidious insect. Can he really do this? Not even thirty minutes into this committed open relationship and already he’s drowning in insecurities. Maybe he should stop things now, put a pause on the sex until they can actually discuss this. But even as he thinks it, a part of him shrinks away from the idea – he doesn’t want to stop their momentum, doesn’t want to ruin the moment, doesn’t want to give Itachi reason to believe he can’t handle the ambiguity of the man’s sex life with other people. And the thing is…isn’t trust the most important factor here? If this is going to work, he needs to trust that Itachi will tell him the details when they’re important. And so, though uncertainty briefly bobs up and down in the flow of Synchrony, Stiles strives to put the matter aside.
By the time he stirs from his thoughts, he’s sans socks and shoes. The featherlight pressure teasing the arch of his foot has him shuddering, goosebumps breaking out along legs and arms in anticipation. Within his stomach, the pit gradually shifts into a different kind of weight, one that drops pleasantly to his groin as he recognizes the breadth of Itachi’s arousal flaring across their link. Nothing could prepare him for the unexpected heft of that crude, intimate word from those lips, however. It coaxes a strangled moan from him, loins throbbing in a bright paroxysm of desire. God, he’s turned on.
Instead of responding verbally, he falls silent – eyes finally adjusted to the dark and never once leaving Itachi’s face – to assist in removing the jeans. Slowly, he shimmies from side to side, denim softly hissing as the snug pants are dragged free. Once they’re finally off, he pauses, letting the seconds trudge past as his long, bony hands finger the waistband of his dark-blue boxer briefs. Never would he have thought he was capable of putting on a show for someone else like this, and yet Itachi’s hawklike intensity helps build his confidence. The waistband snaps into place against a trim, slender waist, only a snapshot of his wakening erection visible. Then, with a soft inhale, Stiles divests himself of both the henley and briefs, stark nude on Itachi’s bed.
Lean legs fold inward toward his chest, thighs bracketing the cock straining toward his navel, bulbous head an angry red. Then, a bit awkwardly from a relative lack of flexibility, Stiles reaches down to spread open his hole, where it immediately becomes obvious that some lubricant has already been applied, strings of it weakly breaking. ]
Like this? [ he asks, his own voice gone husky and thick. ]
[As that uncertainty swims at the surface of the connection between them, it nearly sidetracks Itachi with questions of whether Stiles is doubting his decision or his want to do this now; a tide of mutual, doubled desire gradually washes it out, the remainder of his focus fixated on the display the boy makes. Stiles’ body is lean, softer in places where he’s accustomed to muscle and bone in himself, thighs full and solid enough for a bruising hand, skin dappled with moles and dark curls of hair. He’s seen it completely bare twice now. Yet he finds himself staring when Stiles finishes stripping down as if to remember every corner and detail he’s come to learn. No one else’s body is as known to him as Stiles’, and neither has he ever seen such an obscene sight as those fingers—long, bony, almost delicate—prying open the cheeks of his ass to reveal that slick, tight hole between legs, reddened from obvious earlier attention.
It winds Itachi breathless, whose hand lays on his own thigh and twitches, an impatient flex to keep from reaching. He wishes for more light in the room. He blows out air through his nose, consumed with the primal, animal way Stiles makes him feel by showing him that, thighs apart and naked on his bed, underneath him. And the deeper more frightening thread of intimacy in a union like this; it’s something he hasn’t experienced before, hadn’t realized he could want with the ferocity of realization of how long he’s gone without Stiles, and without this.
Unable to answer the question verbally, he climbs down at last, covering the boy from head to toe with the slant of his weight, legs fitted easily in that spread of knees. Hair blankets their faces as he seizes Stiles mouth in a messy kiss, tongue sliding past teeth to get deeper in as he rubs over that jutting, thickened cock where it fits snug against his abdomen, balls catching at the fabric still covering his lower body. A hand is already reaching around and under Stiles’ ass, so he can pass his fingertips across that taut hole to feel it for himself, test how stretched and slippery it remains, though he doesn’t yet push inside.]
[ He could become addicted to that look, Stiles thinks. The look of a man whose appetite will only be whet on one body – his. Under the weight of that heavy gaze, dragging over him as tangibly as a caress, doubt and insecurity diminish into nothingness. Chest heaving on a strained breath of exhilaration, Stiles meets those eyes with a hunger of his own. Itachi is a sharpened weapon in the shape of a man, unearthly beautiful with loose hair flowing like a waterfall at midnight and eyes of warmed obsidian. Even with the brutal scars of battle on display, marring arms and body, the shinobi manages to outshine even perfection.
Itachi settles atop him like he belongs. With a pleading noise he barely recognizes as having come from his own throat, Stiles greets him. The kiss is a wet, vicious thing, the slick collision of their tongues noisy in the still room, interposed with the soft shifting of fabric rustling over his dick and balls. Arousal sinks somewhere in his gut below the navel, pooling a quickening heat in his groin that leaves him increasingly needy for Itachi’s touch. As he sucks on an invasive tongue mapping his mouth, a shiny strand of saliva leaking from his bottom lip, he rumbles appreciation for the finger pads dancing lightly over his spread ass cheeks, just glancing across the hole desperate to be stuffed.
Unable to reach out to Itachi while holding himself open wide like this, he rocks against the older man in search of friction, cock swollen and already beginning to drip fat beads of precome onto his abdomen. It’s not enough. He needs Itachi inside him, stretching him, filling him, joining him. Frustrated, Stiles tries to spear himself on those investigative fingers before finally losing patience and sliding three of his own inside to the knuckle; the pinkened hole swallows them down voraciously with a squelch of lubricant. As he thrusts those fingers shallowly, stymied by the angle, his other hand abandons its post to flatten over the bulge in Itachi’s pants, cupping it. ]
[The sleek curtain of his hair makes their faces hot, hidden by the fall of it as though to conceal this intimacy from the rest of the world, to allow them privacy for themselves. It’s a kiss he pushes too far—to the point of a burning need for air in the seal of lips and wet drool—and only disengages with eventual reluctance. Separated, Itachi is panting, body drawn tense as a palm shapes over the stiff line of his cock where it sits trapped still beneath fabric. He doesn’t allow his own hips to twitch forward, no matter the urge that possesses him to grind against even the barest suggestion of relief. He has self-will enough to wait. He wants to be inside.
Feeling the moment Stiles clever fingers bypass his own curious touch to sink into that tight hole, Itachi lets out a slow stream of breath. A line forms between delicate eyebrows. He can’t see at this angle—in a bid to remedy this, he leans back on bent knees and hikes Stiles’ leg up, propping the boy’s slender calf on his shoulder. The movement stretches him wider open between the legs and provides a better view, though it takes away immediate access to that smart mouth. Itachi can do nothing but look, arrested by the sight: rim tight and pink around the knuckles of three fingers, full cheeks spread open, cock weeping clear precome over the boy’s flat navel, skin flushed everywhere in the pale shades of exposed color. The hunger threatens to take him apart. If anyone has ever seen this before him, they did not deserve it.
Methodically, Itachi reaches one-handed for the bottle of lubricant discarded nearby on top of the blanket. He smears the glossy fluid into the furrow of Stiles’ ass, enough to trickle, then uses the thumb of his other hand to rub it in messily, coating those fingers in a thick layer. The same thumb dips into Stiles’ hole, overfull already, to watch the tight opening stretch just a little more.]
Good. [His voice seems to come from somewhere else, still very low and almost drowsy, an answer belated to earlier’s thread of conversation. Head tilting, he presses a hot cheek against Stiles’ bare ankle.] I could do it now. It doesn’t seem as though you need much more. Do you want that?

If Itachi knew it would come to this, would he have ever agreed to the Bond? Would he have severed it in Hell, sooner, at those first flags of attraction between them? Tsukuyomi was its fragile genesis: trust overlaid an encounter free of consequence, lapping at the shores of an illusion as he tested what he’d learned of physical intimacy. Club Penance made it more complicated and concrete. At some point, he’d begun to learn—and relearn—from Stiles what it was like to care for another living person, a part of himself he’d long since cauterized in order to do what had to be done.
Or what he’d believed, as a child, needed to be done. That stood in question now, but he refused to let the thought stray. It would suck them down into blacker terrain. It was the same reason he wouldn’t let himself linger on Sasuke, or what had recently occurred between them.]
I came back. You were already gone. [A faint tug of humor hangs there before it fades. His head inclines, bringing their faces into proximity.] I can meet your request, and give you that promise, but… there is going to be a day I am forced to break it.
I died, Stiles. [I am still dying, he doesn’t say, even as his mind flashes to the secret sealed underneath his bathroom sink, not far away from them now.] Nothing can change that. The past cannot be unwritten. This only has one ending.
[A bare arm lifts to lay itself around the boy’s shoulders, drawing the line of his body closer until their foreheads nudge together, sharing breath.]
Are you doubting my attachment to you, after everything?
no subject
Eyes slide shut as their foreheads gently meet, Stiles almost lulled into complacency through the physical weight draped along his shoulders. Reaching up with his free hand, he slides it through the unbound hair at the base of the other man’s skull, cradling his head with a tenderness he doesn’t have the strength to express through words. ]
Nothing’s written in stone, [ he mutters obstinately, gaze opening on a weak glare. ] And if it is, I’ll break the tablet in half. I died before too.
[ But this is getting off track. Determined to steer them onto the correct course, he continues. ]
Everything ends eventually. Until then, let me be with you. And you, [ a pause as his mouth molds to Itachi’s bottom lip, lingering there in a soft kiss, ] can remind me of your affection for me whenever we’re together.
no subject
Chaos will follow you everywhere. Strange that the words of Danzou come to him now, in a situation so outside the memory of that man. But he’s never forgotten those lessons. He doesn’t expect he ever will.
Stiles’ predictable stubbornness is met with a sharp exhale, stuttered, the sound like a tight and close-mouthed laugh. The kiss coaxes him out of the bleaker magnetism of his own thoughts, warmth a humid stamp across his lower lip. A tilt of his head angles it into better and fuller alignment before he attempts a reply.]
There is also the issue of the gem’s influence over us, [hushed impossibly quiet against Stiles’ lips, until he leans away to look him in the eye.] You were not the only one impacted by transformation. I believe it affected everyone, to varying degrees.
[This is the moment to bring up Sasuke. A black gaze drifts to the side, and in the shadow of what they've just discussed, indecision wins.]
The nature of Synchrony alone is intimate. I imagine you’ve experienced it with others, too.
no subject
Stiles inhales deeply, clearing his head from the fog of lust that’s seized it. His exhaled breath stirs the loose hairs parted around Itachi’s face. ]
That’s the other half of what I wanted to talk to you about, [ he admits, a hint of uncertain shame creeping into his tone. But he doesn’t release the shinobi. Nor does he move further away. ] It’s like going feral in Aefenglom all over again. I could barely control myself – and the only thing that helped was…was intimacy with people. Except that created a whole new set of problems.
[ Namely, he’d been horny enough to nearly fuck Guanshan in his web. ]
Were you okay? [ His fingers splay at the back of Itachi’s skull, gently massaging. ] What happened on your end?
no subject
I seemed to be less afflicted than others, as I was able to keep a clear head in most of my encounters. [Comparatively. In none of those situations had he felt he was going to lose control, but he’d certainly experienced desires and urges disembodied from reason—perhaps with the exception of Sephiroth, who he already acknowledges his attraction to, so his own behavior made sense. Is it something to tell Stiles now?
How, exactly, does this work? Itachi frowns, leaning their temples together as his head slightly turns.]
I calmed someone else with Synchrony when they were behaving erratically at Camp Whitegrave. And I… found Sasuke, later. [Anxiety tightens in the tether between them, but given his emotional state thus far in this conversation, it isn’t a new alarm. Itachi eases over it with a concentrated effort of composure.] We also Synced, although we couldn’t maintain the connection for long. It was… too much.
[The last is little more than a murmur, for how quietly he says it.]
no subject
Brows knit together in concern at the mention of Sasuke. The idea that it was “too much” for both Uchiha to Sync makes a tragic kind of sense given their convoluted, bloody history. Sharing that level of casual intimacy is difficult for most people, never mind two estranged brothers awkwardly attempting to rebuild a mangled relationship. Stiles believes they simply need more time. He suspects that the transformations fueled a stream of powerful emotion too raw for either sibling to tolerate. Well, he’s not exactly wrong. ]
This is going to sound so stupid after I came here basically demanding you to commit to – to being my boyfriend, [ he begins with a groan, pressing his forehead against Itachi’s shoulder and leaning his weight against the other man. ] But I think we need to see other people.
As in, other people too. We’re not always going to be around to Sync with each other. And if things get out of hand, like going feral or something…
[ Uncertainty gives him pause, his head rolling so he can glance up at Itachi. ]
Does… What do you think? Am I asking too much?
no subject
The predicament introduced deserves his greater attention, even as it inspires confusion. It feels as though he's walking through the dark, uncertain of boundaries and expectations, unaware of cultural differences Stiles may be acting on without his awareness.]
I'm not certain I understand. [Itachi leans back against the cabinets, searching for eye contact.] You want us to have other relationships as well?
no subject
[ The response is immediate, sharp even. A tendril of insecure possessiveness creeps over him and he lifts his head, staring at Itachi with a hard, uncompromising look. It fades the longer he holds the man’s gaze, sensing the confusion that his words have elicited. He’s not being clear here – probably because Stiles himself isn’t entirely sure, or in favor of, what he’s suggesting. ]
…Yeah, I guess, kind of? [ The idea goes against everything he values, but it’s necessary in a world like this. ] Not relationships like ours. More like…
[ Slowly, he disengages from Itachi, pulling their limbs apart so he can lean back against the island, hands on the marble surface on either side of him. ]
Physical relationships. One-offs. Uh, one-offs that may or may not be more than once? I’m not explaining this well.
[ A hand drags heavily down his face. ]
You can screw whoever [ whomever ] you want, but at the end of the day, it’s me you come back to. And vice versa.
no subject
Resigned to the possible scenarios playing out in a calculative mind, Itachi nods, unmoving against the cabinets as Stiles takes up post across from him. A sleek, still shadow in the bright kitchen.]
All right. [Doubt aside, he's willing to make the attempt. Only one remaining unknown:] ... Do you want to share information about those other relationships when they occur? Or should they be kept private?
[Outlining these stipulations is more comfortable for Itachi than he'd imagined it would be. Easier than looking in the face of his immense affection for Stiles, at least. This part is logical.]
no subject
Behind him on the island, the Nightmare’s petals continue to bleed. ]
I… I’m not sure.
[ His gut instinct is to say no, prone to anxiety as he is, but Stiles is aware that he’ll inevitably break any promise of privacy in order to investigate the people Itachi spends his time with. It’s a serious character flaw of his that he has no intention of working on. So, better to be honest. ]
Let’s share, [ he suggests tentatively, arms folded over his chest in a defensive gesture. ] You don’t have to, like, call me right after and tell me. Just let me know when you can. Does that work?
no subject
With another nod, Itachi straightens against the cabinets.] Yes. [Then he prowls closer, distance between them eaten up in one short stride across glossy tile. Just as Stiles had earlier, he crowds him, bare arms to either side of the boy's narrow waist in a barricading spread, palms on cold marble. Their faces loom close as he leans in, foreheads nudging a second time—now with darker insinuation than the calm affection of before. Humid breath fans across mouths, Itachi's loose hair sliding over one of his shoulders.]
In that case, you'll need to tell me of your encounter during your transformation, if you mean to honor this agreement. [His voice is low, one long tone of darkness.] Who was it? What is it you did to them?
no subject
His name’s Guanshan, [ he begins, a hint of embarrassment tinging the thread of Synchrony as he recalls the charged encounter. Sensing recognition at the name, he pauses. ] Oh, you know him? Well…
[ The experience had been one of humiliation for both participants, though for wildly different reasons. Stiles expects Guanshan will hold what happened against him for a long time yet. And yet, as he stands here under the unblinking stare of unjudging black eyes, Stiles is able to review the event in a new light. Shame has nothing to do with why he squirms. ]
I was an Arachne, or whatever this world calls them. He walked straight into one of my webs. So, I pulled him up – [ fingers walk up Itachi’s side, one at a time ] – and played with him a little. You know, just teasingly threatening him. But I think he gets off on that. And when I noticed he was interested, I…
[ A sinuous roll of his hips, denim jeans shifting quietly. Blood quickening, Stiles looks up at Itachi through lowered lashes, their mouths just grazing on an exhaled breath. ]
…Well, I played with him a little more.
no subject
Less shocked to hear Stiles' transformation has taken a similar shape as his monstrous designation in Aefenglom, the image described burns bright in his mind. He leans his weight heavily, sealing chests to pelvic bone, eyelids slitting at the fingertips up his flank. Remaining imperially still despite Stiles' bold grind of hips, he tilts his head. The gesture is almost bird-like as it takes his mouth out of proximity in his own version of a tease.]
That does sound like you. [Itachi isn't soon to forget one of their first encounters on that city rooftop, being bound up in silk web and clumsily transported to his younger brother, "for his own good."] Had you ever done anything like that before, as an Arachne?
no subject
On my birthday. [ There’s a dreamy quality softening his voice now. ] It was a full moon. I hadn’t Bonded with anyone yet, so it was getting harder and harder to control myself. Sasuke and Jonas were having dinner at the cottage.
[ Home away from home, as he’d come to know it. Potential for the memory to take on a darker, melancholier note threatens Stiles only for a moment; the solid, hard press of a body against his, tethering him to reality, prevents him from trailing down the rabbit hole of Jonas’ tragic fate. Nails biting, he drags his fingers back down Itachi’s sides before crawling them up again. ]
Sasuke needed to feed, bad. It was too dangerous to bring Jonas along and I knew he’d come after us if I didn’t do something, so I webbed him to a wall to keep him safe. [ Or maybe, simply to keep. ] Then I took Sasuke to a local pet store, where we wined and dined.
[ Their looming feral nature had lent the night a more sexually charged atmosphere; Stiles remembers how both of them had become hard, feasting on the animals in Sasuke’s thrall. ]
If it happens again, [ he continues in a low, sly tone, referencing the transformation, ] I can’t promise what’ll happen to you.
no subject
Highly inappropriate in the given context. Itachi shudders, emotional response a static flash through their Synced tether that feels like a snapped rubber band, sharp and brief and stinging, easily disguised as a reaction to Stiles' low-toned insinuation.]
It sounds as though you are threatening me, Stiles, [said in his own quiet murmur, head turning to tuck a cool cheek into the joining of Stiles' throat and shoulder.] What are you suggesting you'd do? Do you think I would allow you to restrict me in webbing as you did once before?
[The idea thrums trepidation, tempered by trust; he's been bound under Stiles' hands now already, though to significantly lesser degree. The shape of Itachi's mouth is felt on skin as it curves into a subtle, unseen smirk.] I'm not easy prey. [Shifting up, his lips graze the delicate shell of the boy's ear before taking the lobe into a gentle pinch of teeth.]
no subject
The nibble at his ear may have something to do with his magnanimous decision.
A soft sigh escapes him as he melts into the touch, his head tilting away to bare his throat in silent supplication for Itachi. With his face turned aside, now would be an excellent time to catalogue the space that the shinobi now uses as a base of operations – calling it the man’s home would be a severe misunderstanding of Itachi’s personality and character. And yet Stiles finds his gaze going glassy as the flames of desire lick up his spine. ]
You’re not, [ he agrees appreciatively, hands slipping under the hem of Itachi’s sleeveless shirt to palm smooth hips. ] But I think you’d find the experience…rewarding.
[ Unlike Guanshan, may he rest in horny peace. ]
no subject
There's no preliminary flirtation left as Itachi reaches down with both hands to close a powerful grasp under the boy's thighs, intent to clear his feet from the tile and deliver him seated to the counter. Widening legs further to allow himself within them, his own body a solid wall of lean muscle fitting well and with the confidence of belonging.
Stiles' promise hangs in his mind—rewarding, as though he's done something to deserve this sort of feeling and trust and loyalty from someone else—as he lifts a hand and snares short, ruffled brown hair to steer into an abrupt kiss. patience run dry. It forces Stiles to bend down slightly forward to reach. The pressure is solid, mouths sealed corner to tight corner, tongue prying for wet depth almost immediately.]
no subject
Pliant lips give way under the pressure of a hungry tongue. Stiles groans into the kiss, his own tongue licking up the length of the shinobi’s in an eager greeting. The taste of Itachi is intoxicating, enough to get him drunk off of. His body undulates in want of a groin to grind against, but on the island he’s forced to make do with a navel instead. It reminds him of the preparations he made before coming here, of fingering himself open in the shower while thinking of Itachi, of the tube of lubricant in his back pocket. Scrambling, he reaches for that pocket now, retrieving the item simply to place it pointedly in the palm of Itachi’s hand.
He breaks from the kiss, rubbing their foreheads together. ]
Gonna take care of you tonight. [ Stiles closes Itachi’s hand around the lube. ] You, inside me. You want that, sweetheart?
no subject
So the inevitable pain of loss, when it does someday occur, will be nothing but deserved.
Itachi's lashes flicker as something solid it pressed into his hand. Reflexively, fingers curl around it. A line creases his brow in bemusement, then clears in a second's comprehension, and his expression darkens with a tide of acute understanding. He manages a short exhale and doesn't move in the trap of legs.] ... You enjoy calling me that. Was this planned? I would imagine, for you to be so prepared.
[The voice he uses is soft, very low, almost rasping and metallic in the whisper, dark gaze fixed on Stiles' face with intensity. He closes his hand into a fist and then circles the arm around Stiles' back, other hand tucking again under one of the boy's thighs, grip like iron in such slender fingers.] Hold onto me. [All the warning he offers before he's hauling Stiles against the front of his body and lifting, removing him from the counter to carry him across the tile, out through the living room, into what is presumably his bedroom. It's very dark past the threshold; curtains are closed on the window. He gets a knee on the mattress edge and delivers Stiles down onto it in one fluid movement.]
cw: nsfw
Hoped for, [ he corrects shakily, barely hanging onto the thread of conversation from the kitchen. ] Even stretched myself in the shower, just for you.
[ Brown eyes struggle to adjust to the lack of light in the bedroom, Itachi little more than a silhouette menacing him from above. Stiles pulls the man down onto him anyway, this shadow that’s crept into his life, still-locked ankles sliding down the small of Itachi’s back to push impatiently at hips. Arms unwinding, he moves again to cradle the man’s skull and draw their mouths together, only for fingers to brush against the swollen skin of two puncture wounds. Pausing, he tries to scrutinize Itachi in the pitch black, his own expression twisting with uncertain inquisition. An attack, or…? ]
Guess I’m not the only one who was getting frisky.
[ After all, the idea of anyone getting that close to Itachi while aggressive seems impossible – barring Sasuke, of course. Trying not to allow insecurity get the best of him, he moves on from the area, hands instead slipping down the shinobi’s chest to tug the sleeveless shirt off him. ]
Invite me next time, [ jests Stiles with a wink, hoping he doesn’t sound nearly as clingy as he feels. ]
no subject
It wasn’t like that is what he means to say even as reasonable thought evades him again, slippery in the dark. More important is that first admission. Itachi leanly flexes up onto palms so the shirt can be peeled over his head, hair an oil spill around slim shoulders, sliding to tickle Stiles’ face. The contrast of black and white is always stark on him, made starker by uninterrupted planes of pale skin in limited light. The stone in his throat shines brilliant lilac and creates exaggerated shadows. Through Synchrony, Stiles will feel the heady, constant throb of his arousal.
Rather than lower down again, he shifts backward, easily wresting himself from the restraint of limbs to stand on the carpet at the foot of the bed. Slow, methodical hands peel off Stiles’ shoes and socks, dropping each, until he closes his hand around the boy’s smooth heel and gets a firm hold around the slender bones of his ankle, gently stroking a callused thumb along the arch of his foot. Then he drags Stiles inches down the bed to him so they’re closer to the lip, where he comes forward onto his knees in just the slightest depression of weight.]
You opened yourself for me already, [he confirms, tone even but for that telling rasp.] So you hoped that I would fuck you tonight.
[Such a coarse, vulgar word is somehow made coarser on a tongue that rarely shapes it, at the same time a hand reaches to work at the front of those jeans, fully prepared to begin peeling them off, eyes like a physical weight in the intensity of how he watches Stiles.] Show me.
no subject
By the time he stirs from his thoughts, he’s sans socks and shoes. The featherlight pressure teasing the arch of his foot has him shuddering, goosebumps breaking out along legs and arms in anticipation. Within his stomach, the pit gradually shifts into a different kind of weight, one that drops pleasantly to his groin as he recognizes the breadth of Itachi’s arousal flaring across their link. Nothing could prepare him for the unexpected heft of that crude, intimate word from those lips, however. It coaxes a strangled moan from him, loins throbbing in a bright paroxysm of desire. God, he’s turned on.
Instead of responding verbally, he falls silent – eyes finally adjusted to the dark and never once leaving Itachi’s face – to assist in removing the jeans. Slowly, he shimmies from side to side, denim softly hissing as the snug pants are dragged free. Once they’re finally off, he pauses, letting the seconds trudge past as his long, bony hands finger the waistband of his dark-blue boxer briefs. Never would he have thought he was capable of putting on a show for someone else like this, and yet Itachi’s hawklike intensity helps build his confidence. The waistband snaps into place against a trim, slender waist, only a snapshot of his wakening erection visible. Then, with a soft inhale, Stiles divests himself of both the henley and briefs, stark nude on Itachi’s bed.
Lean legs fold inward toward his chest, thighs bracketing the cock straining toward his navel, bulbous head an angry red. Then, a bit awkwardly from a relative lack of flexibility, Stiles reaches down to spread open his hole, where it immediately becomes obvious that some lubricant has already been applied, strings of it weakly breaking. ]
Like this? [ he asks, his own voice gone husky and thick. ]
no subject
It winds Itachi breathless, whose hand lays on his own thigh and twitches, an impatient flex to keep from reaching. He wishes for more light in the room. He blows out air through his nose, consumed with the primal, animal way Stiles makes him feel by showing him that, thighs apart and naked on his bed, underneath him. And the deeper more frightening thread of intimacy in a union like this; it’s something he hasn’t experienced before, hadn’t realized he could want with the ferocity of realization of how long he’s gone without Stiles, and without this.
