[team two] matter of time

As is the fashion here's another snippet from a multichapter I am writing but will likely never finish.

Taiga x Hokuto; ~400 words ; T for implied sexual activity


“Those lips are mine.” Hokuto says, his eyes focused intently on his thumb as it runs over Taiga’s lower lip. The intensity in them makes Taiga shudder and it’s not all in fear. “As my wife you have certain duties to me.”

He knew it was only a matter of time. His shy and reluctant behaviour on their wedding night saved him from him the duty of consummating their marriage, and Hokuto hasn’t pushed for anything since, but it was only a matter of time. Two weeks is longer than Taiga had anticipated.

Hokuto clears his throat and Taiga realises he’s awaiting a response. He nods lightly and all but breathes the answer “Yes.” He doesn’t know what else to say, it’s the truth, but the longer he can keep from doing those duties, the longer he can keep his secret – that he’s not the young lady Hokuto thought he was marrying. Still if it’s only his lips that Hokuto requires the services of, then maybe he can make it work, maybe Hokuto won’t find out.

“Will you do it? Or shall I call in one of my retainers to take care of it?” Hokuto asks, and it sounds like a genuine question, like Taiga would be allowed to refuse. And really he should, if he gives this much then what more will Hokuto expect from him next time? Yet, part of him is rather curious, in the short weeks he’s spent in Hokuto’s presence he’s felt all kinds of new and exciting emotions. Hokuto sighs and removes his hand from Taiga’s face as he turns away. “It’s fine if you don’t want to.”

“No.” Taiga calls after him as he strides to the door. Hokuto pauses, then turns back to him. “I just...it’s not that I don’t want to.” he continues and it doesn’t feel all a lie. “I’ve just never done it before...I worry that I won’t be able to please you...my lord.”

The rest isn’t a lie either, even if it isn’t the reason for his reluctance – Taiga hasn’t even been in the presence of a man besides his father since he was a child. Hokuto seems to accept his excuse and nods, his expression not unkind. “Then I’ll call in a retainer...but you will stay and watch so next time you’ll know what to do.”

It’s a mix of relief and anticipation that washes through him as he bends over in a small bow. “Thank you.”

*happy gasp* I randomly decided to open my livejournal and stumbled upon this! <3

OMG I LOVE YOUR IDEAS. Samurai settings are looooove!! Ahhh I'm so curious to know how Hokuto will react when he finds out! Ohhh this is a dangerous idea and I'd absolutely love to see more of it! And Taiga getting attracted unwillingly! Gah! The best!
