Kimihiro glared at Shizuka fiercely. "You are NOT coming with me this time! Absolutely, positively, most certainly NO—"
His lecture cut off with a startled sound as Shizuka’s mouth covered his, hushing him gently. Shizuka didn’t let him go until he was breathless and leaning against Shizuka for support.
"Then I’ll follow after you."
"Shizuka…!"
Shizuka’s mouth quirked faintly. "What? I’m not quiet enough for you already?"
Kimihiro glared some more, but his lips twitched reluctantly at the old joke.
Shizuka gathered Kimihiro closer. "I’ll be with you, one way or another," he murmured against Kimihiro’s hair. "I’m here to protect you."
Perfectly familiar with Shizuka’s world-bending stubbornness, Kimihiro pressed his forehead against Shizuka’s shoulder. "Promise you won’t let yourself get hurt," he demanded.
"I promise." Shizuka tipped Kimihiro’s chin up and kissed him again, softly.
"Liar," Kimihiro whispered into his mouth.
"Never to you."
Kimihiro knew that was true and subsided a bit. He let Shizuka lay him back against the smooth, sun-warmed boards of the engawa and fold his yukata open, and reached up to pull Shizuka down against him. Shizuka’s hands on him were strong and slow, stroking over Kimihiro’s body until he arched up against Shizuka, panting and flushed.
"Shizuka!"
"Yes," Shizuka whispered to him, "I’ll be peace for you."
Kimihiro caught his breath slowly in Shizuka’s arms, making soft, contented sounds as one strong hand rubbed his back. As the shadows lengthened, though, he sighed and sat up. Shizuka helped him straighten his clothing and cupped a hand around Kimihiro’s cheek.
"Ready?"
"Of course." Kimihiro smiled up at him, rueful. "You’ll be with me."
End
A/N: Shizuka means "quiet" or "peace".
*breath catches at the sweetness of them* They are too adorable for words.
And why do I get the feeling that they’re about to head off and do something stupidly heroic and dangerous?
*wry* Because I’m pretty sure they are? By the time of this ficlet, I think Yuuko has moved on and the boys get to field the hard ones on their own. *pets them* They made me wibble all over with this one.
“Yes,” Shizuka whispered to him, “I’ll be peace for you.”
That line was so perfect, I almost died. 🙂 *love*
Thank you! I love writing these two squishy.
Awwww, this is so sweet. I love fics with protective Doumeki. ♥
Thank you for sharing this!
*hearts* Glad you liked it! I figure when those two get a bit older they’ll take the total-squish cake. ^_^
Awww. This is so sweet.
Thank you!
I really liked this! It’s understated but still hot.
*pleased* Thank you very much! These two give me a lot more fluff than porn, so it’s great to hear this worked out.
This was really good – I enjoyed the imagery! Thanks!
*sparkles* Glad you liked it!
So, so, so, so cute. *wibbles* I love how you write the Holic boys.
Thank you! They’re just calling out to be fluffy, aren’t they? ^_^
Brief but so beautiful.
Thank you! These two always seemed very poignant to me (once Watanuki can be gotten to stop bristling).
Awww that’s cute <3
Nice allusion to Shizuka’s name, I really like it x3
*leaves kudos*
*laughs* His name amused me to no end once we found it out. It’s so appropriate!
