“Ngh.” Sato muttered in his sleep, shifting inside the futon as if he had sensed the presence of someone else beside him.
As though he had been electrocuted, Asakura jerked away from Sato’s body. He let out a shaky breath, pushing both hands through his hair. He stared at the sleeping young man and his heart flipped inside his chest.
Sato’s sleeping face looked serene. Cold moon rays fell over his cheeks, gently caressing his eyelids and forehead. The milky light gave his already white skin an otherworldly pallor. Only his slightly parted lips had a soft tint of life in them.
Asakura found it impossible to pull his gaze away from that face. He simply stood there, watching as if mesmerized, while the impeccable moonlight danced across Sato’s features. By this time, his thoughts were a tangled mess and his heart was pounding loudly.
‘What am I doing? What the blazing hell am I doing?! I have sworn to myself not to be a coward ever again, so what the hell am I doing trying to steal a kiss?! How am I any different from Touma then? I’m just a beast in human clothing.’
Even while berating himself harshly, he had to admit that Sato’s presence proved to be too enticing.
Thus, Asakura was currently having a fierce internal battle, where half of him wanted to continue giving in to temptation, while the other wanted to beat himself to a pulp. Both sides had their own reasonings and applied tremendous pressure onto his conscience.
With those thoughts still swirling in his mind like a maddening storm, Asakura finally decided to pull away from the futon. It was safest to create some distance between himself and the object of his desire.
But just when he was about to get on his feet, a hand grabbed him by the arm. Then a low, slightly hoarse voice reverberated inside the room, startling Asakura into flinching.
“Why are you hesitating, Asakura-san?”
It appeared that Sato had woken up while Asakura was battling his inner demons.

As if he was spellbound, Asakura stared unblinkingly, forgetting to move or even breathe.
When he finally woke up from this stupor and spoke, his voice sounded gruff and thick with emotion.
“If I continue, I’m afraid I might not be able to stop halfway. Are you ok with that, Sato-kun?”
“I don’t want you to stop.”
After giving this unexpected reply, Sato pushed himself up and wrapped both arms around Asakura’s neck, pulling the man closer. Their noses touched and both of them felt a jolt of excitement run through their bodies.
“Are you sure you want this?” Asakura asked again, his magnetic voice coming out in a low whisper.
His warm breath tickled Sato’s face, making the skin feel hot and tingly.
“Yes.”
Sato’s answer came swiftly and with no trace of hesitation. His voice was soft, with a slight tremor of emotion. But his heart was beating wildly in his chest, thumping loudly like a hammer.
For a moment, he was afraid Asakura might hear it in the silence that followed after his reply.
Receiving the approval he needed, Asakura didn’t waste another second. He swiftly closed the remaining distance between them, capturing Sato’s warm lips with his own.
The ensuing kiss was tender and passionate at the same time, causing both men to become muddle-headed very quickly. Low, seductive pants escaped through their lips, coming in between shallow breaths.
When they finally pulled away after several minutes, they were both breathless.
Sato’s cheeks were covered with a glowing blush, his eyes moist and half opened as he stared at the other man in rapture. His hair was tousled and even his clothes were now askew.
There was an overall air of abandonment in his current appearance that triggered a tremble of anticipation in Asakura’s body. In order to regain a bit of his weakened self-control, he had to inhale deeply a few times.
Slowly and gently, he brushed a hand across Sato’s face, his fingertips sliding along the jawline and tracing those beautiful features. Then, he moved slowly towards the lips and nose, all the way up until he reached the corner of the young man’s eyes. Like he was being pulled by invisible strings, Asakura leaned down and placed a kiss between Sato’s eyebrows, guiding his mouth to trail down, until he found those sweet lips again.
“Am I allowed to continue?” he murmured huskily against Sato’s lips.
“Mh.”
Hearing this sweet and wonderful reply, Asakura had to struggle in order to keep himself from immediately pouncing on Sato. Instead, he inhaled deeply and held Sato tightly in his arms, reveling in the warm and soft feeling that body gave him.
His pair of roguish lips kept laying hot kisses all over Sato’s face and neck. And all the while, his hands swiftly undid the blanket cocoon, allowing his palms to wander freely across the young man’s back.
Sato’s skin felt like a piece of smooth silk, delicate and fragile. The sensation caused Asakura’s fingertips to tingle with eagerness in wanting to feel more of it. He wanted to touch every single part of that person’s body, to see everything there was to see.
A sudden feeling of possessiveness and desire burst inside his chest. Like a dragon coveting an exquisite treasure, Asakura leaned down and covered Sato’s body with his own. He didn’t want to allow the slightest distance to exist between them.
On the other hand, Sato felt almost overwhelmed by Asakura’s desire. He gasped softly, feeling his own body gradually responding to all those passionate caresses. Asakura’s hands were leaving hot traces across his back, causing his temperature to rise. His face was suffused with red, and even his ears looked as if they could drip blood at any moment.
Stopping to think for a split second, Sato finally realized that he already had the answer to all his previous questions. He liked this person. He liked Asakura Ryuu as a man and wanted to become special to him. He wanted for them to be more than friends. He wished for Asakura to kiss him like he was doing now, to touch him, to hold him through the night and never let him go.
This sudden awareness of his own feelings of love was both painful and pleasurable. Sato let out a deep, shuddery breath, feeling his eyes become wet with tears. His body trembled and he gave himself to Asakura’s burning body without holding anything back. He was now at peace.
There was no need to be afraid anymore. From that moment onwards, he would walk along the path he had chosen for himself, without allowing the inner demons born from the past to hold him back. He was determined to love and cherish Asakura for as long as the man would allow him to.
Thus, Sato wrapped the man tightly inside his embrace, letting his voice and body speak about his resolution.
The sweet moans and low pants that escaped through Sato’s red lips tickled Asakura’s ears. They increased his own resolve to keep this person to himself.
As he held Sato, his heart was set on not letting go. Regardless of what would happen when morning came, he would fight with all he had to win this person’s love. There was nothing he wasn’t willing to do as long as he could make Sato feel happy again.
The two men rolled around in bed the entire night, busily confessing their feelings through searing kisses and stirring touches. Every caress spoke about their love for each other and the bright red marks left on their skin bore witness to the fiery passion they felt.
But while their bodies gave themselves to lust, their hearts were filled with the sweetness of reciprocated love.
