Amazing how fast something turned into an old argument. &quot;For some, I guess that works.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Hiruma pushed away from the wall and glared. &quot;It works if you fucking stay with it. Are you going to spend your whole life half-assed?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Kid looked away. <\/p>\n<p>Hiruma&#8217;s growl didn&#8217;t surprise him, but the hand in his hair did, pulling him around and down to meet Hiruma&#8217;s mouth on his. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;You&#8217;re a fucking idiot and it drives me fucking crazy to watch.&quot; The words were muffled but fierce, fierce as the heat of Hiruma&#8217;s body against his. <\/p>\n<p>Fierce but not careless. Hiruma was angled carefully away from Kid&#8217;s right side. It felt strange. Almost unbalanced. Not that he got much time to think about it. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;You need to want something, or how the hell do you tell you&#8217;re alive?&quot; Hiruma&#8217;s fingers flicked open Kid&#8217;s pants and dove inside. His hand closed on Kid&#8217;s cock, long and competent, just like they closed on a ball. On a dart.<\/p>\n<p>On a gun.<\/p>\n<p>Kid couldn&#8217;t stifle the sound he made, and Hiruma&#8217;s mouth swallowed it, tasted it. Curved.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I know you love it,&quot; Hiruma breathed against his ear. &quot;Love knowing you&#8217;re this good. You wouldn&#8217;t be out here if you didn&#8217;t.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Kid&#8217;s good hand worked against Hiruma&#8217;s shoulder. &quot;Just want to be with friends,&quot; he protested, husky.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Then fight, damn it!&quot; Hiruma&#8217;s fingers coaxed him and Hiruma&#8217;s voice shook him. &quot;With us, for us, against us, it doesn&#8217;t fucking matter! That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re all out here for!&quot; His mouth pressed against Kid&#8217;s throat, hot and wet. &quot;All you have to do is want it hard enough and never fucking stop.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It hurts,&quot; Kid whispered, head tilted back against the wall, eyes shut hard.<\/p>\n<p>Hiruma&#8217;s hand tightened, stroked firmly, making heat climb Kid&#8217;s nerves. His voice was low. &quot;That&#8217;s the only way to make it as good as it can be.&quot;   <\/p>\n<p>Kid groaned and hauled his arm out of the sling, pulling Hiruma tight against him. He could feel him laughing as he caught Hiruma&#8217;s mouth and kissed him back and pleasure wrung him out until the world wavered in front of his eyes. <\/p>\n<p>The first thing he said, when he recovered enough breath, was, &quot;Ow.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Hiruma was still laughing against his neck. &quot;Yeah, well.&quot; He pushed away and rapped Kid lightly on the chest. &quot;You ever want someone to play with, remember I&#8217;m here.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>A helpless laugh shook Kid, and he pulled Hiruma back for another kiss, never mind the twinges.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe he&#8217;d see how good it could get. <\/p>\n<p><strong>End <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After it&#8217;s over, Hiruma tries again to convince Kid of the value of wanting things.
