Altered Threesome

-----------

Tachibana finally managed to usher Mimori out the , as, assuring her
that he would take good care of Ryuhou and report to her regularly as
to his progress. He sighed quietly in relief, glad that the woman
hadn\'t seemed to have noticed anything. Once he heard her start the
car and drive away, he returned to the living room, hoping that the
pair hadn\'t started beating on each other again.

\"If you hadn\'t sped off without telling me, you wouldn\'t have gotten
busted up,\" Kazuma was teasing, poking Ryuhou in the chest with the
spatula he was supposed to have been putting away. When Ryuhou swiped
at him he diverted it to his thigh. \"Trying to get the glory by
yourself?\"

\"I was trying to keep *you* from getting yourself *killed*,\" Ryuhou
shot back. \"You\'re too reckless--you always overdo it.\" He tried
pushing Kazuma away, which ultimately escalated in them slapping at
each other\'s hands like children.

Tachibana tried to suppress his laughter, pausing in the doorway to
watch the pair a momentKazuKazuma really was worried about him.// He
knew he sd bed be breaking them up, but there was a certain light in
Kazuma\'s eye that he hadn\'t seen before, and for now he was strangely
content to watch their childish antics for a while.

The match finally ended when Ryuhou managed to grab the spatula away
from him, smacking him in the ear. \"Cut it out--I\'m supposed to be
resting.\" He was caught off guard, however, when Kazuma suddenly
jerked his chin up, capturing his mouth in a firm kiss. //Kazuma--//
He fought him a little, just for the sake of resisting, but he was
already wilting beneath the strong, familiar hands.

//Ryuhou….// Kazuma pressed the man down against the sofa, kissing
him eagerly. He hadn\'t realized until he\'d seen Ryuhou\'s face again
how much he\'d been hoping for this, how much it really did mean to
him…. \"Next time,\" he whispered between them, sliding his hand over
the scars on Ryuhou\'s face, \"wait for me, okay?\"

Tachibana\'s lips parted, fingers curling as he watched the pair and
the affections being passed between them. He took a step forward,
wanting to join them, but he paused before he could get
far. //I...don\'t want to interrupt them. They look so....// His
expression softened as he took another hesitant step closer.

Ryuhou clutched tightly at firm shoulders, encouraging those lips
against him. After a moment, however, he gasped, separating their
mouths. \"Mimori--is she--?\"

Kazuma laughed as he sat back. \"Don\'t worry--she\'s gone,\" he
assured. \"Somehow, she doesn\'t seem to suspect.\" He glanced up,
finally noticing Tachibana watching them. \"Oh hey.\" He retrieved the
fallen spatula and waved it guiltily, rubbing idly at Ryuhou\'s chest
with the other hand. \"Um...I think it needs to be washed again.\"

Snorting faintly, Tachibana came forward to retrieve the
spatula. \"Sure it does.\" He gave Kazuma a light slap on the back with
the utensil before turning towards the kitchen. //I should...give
them some time alone. Let them catch up....//

Ryuhou tilted his head back, listening to Tachibana\'s receding
footsteps. //Tachi....// \"You can do it later,\" he suggested, even as
he was relaxing beneath Kazuma\'s massage. It felt good after all the
time he\'d spent recovering alone. Still, he was anxious to have
Tachibana with them, as well--he\'d missed them both.

Tachibana tossed the spatula in the sink before returning
hesitantly. \"Do you two...want anything?\" he asked. \"While I\'m
up?\" //Was he offering for me to….// He was a bit encouraged by the
pair\'s expressions, and he came forward, setting a hand questioningly
on Kazuma\'s back.

Kazuma leaned back, slipping an arm around Tachibana\'s waist and
drawing him closer. //After everything, you can\'t possibly be shy
about his being back.// \"I think,\" he stated deliberately, \"It\'s
about time we showed Ryuhou your new furniture.\" He paused, glancing
down at the man. \"That is...if you can see anything.\"

Ryuhou\'s expression sobered a little. \"I can see,\" he replied,
rubbing lightly at his face. \"It\'s just...a little hard, right now,
keeping them open. After….\"

Looking down as well, Tachibana slowly knelt beside the couch and ran
light fingers through Ryuhou\'s hair. \"Do they hurt?\" he questioned,
glancing briefly at Kazuma\'s closed eye as well. \"How well can you
see with them opened?\"

Ryuhou licked his lips. \"It\'s a little hard to explain,\" he
said. \"Near the end of the fight something shot at my face--I
Altered without thinking.\" He traced the scars around his
cheekbones. \"It was more than I\'m used to. I can still see fine...I
think...but it hurts to open my eyes for more than a few seconds.\"

Tachibana frowned, wondering.... //I could be similar to what Kazuma
did to himself.... I wonder if I could help with my Alter, but it\'s
so close to his eyes....// He glanced up at Kazuma, trying to decide
if he could even suggest and attempt. \"Do you...think I might be able
to do something?\" he asked them both.

Kazuma frowned slightly. \"It doesn\'t sound like what happened to
mine,\" he said thoughtfully, tracing the scars around his own
nonworking eye. He reached down, pressing gingerly against Ryuhou\'s
face. \"It feels kind of tough--like it didn\'t Alter back fully, more
like what happened to my arm. You should be able to help.\"

\"There is a lot of pressure around my eyes,\" Ryuhou admitted. \"If it
could be loosened somehow...\" He frowned. \"But...can you do something
like that?\"

Tachibana nodded faintly. \"Kazuma messed up some nerves in his arm
before, and I was able to Alter them back. I could at least take a
look at what\'s wrong, see if I really can help.\" He continued to move
his fingers through Ryuhou\'s hair encouragingly. \"As long as it\'s not
your actual eyes, I should be able to do something--I don\'t have
enough control to try and repair organs.\"

//Tachi….// Ryuhou was a little stunned; he hadn\'t known Tachibana
could do something like that. Slowly, he forced his eyelids open. For
a moment he was allowed a full look of his two lovers, and he smiled
gratefully. But as he\'d said his face grew quickly sore, and his eyes
watered a little, obstructing his view. He wiped them
discreetly. \"I\'m all right,\" he assured. \"I think it\'s just around
here.\" He guided Tachibana\'s hand to the scars running just below the
hollow of his eyes.

\"All right. Let me just....\" He glanced around the room, but there
was nothing there he was immediately willing to give up, so with a
sigh, he stood. \"Just a moment.\" Tachibana crossed to the window,
leaning his head out. A bit of earth vanished, creating one of his
spheres. //I hope...this works....// Licking his lips, Tachibana
returned to kneel at Ryuhou\'s side.

\"This is going to feel strange,\" he warned, slowly pushing the
other\'s bangs back from his forehead. \"Just relax--don\'t fight me,
okay?\" He let his Alter press lightly against his lover\'s skin, just
so he would understand what was about to happen.

Ryuhou took in a deep breath. \"All right.\" He relaxed, even more so
when he felt Kazuma\'s hand rubbing at his chest again. //Both of
you….// \"Don\'t strain yourself,\" he warned quietly.

\"Don\'t worry about Tacchan,\" Kazuma assured. \"Just keep still.\" He
lowered his other hand to the back of Tachibana\'s neck, offering his
reassurances as well.

Tachibana closed his eyes, grateful for Kazuma\'s encouragement as he
slowly felt his Alter slide into his other lover. There was barely
any resistance--for which he was relieved--and he immediately started
to scan over Ryuhou\'s face.

There was some extra fluid beneath Ryuhou\'s skin, and Tachibana
easily found the source of the blockage. He \"pointed out\" the area of
trouble to Ryuhou\'s body, guiding the release of the pressure and
making sure everything seemed to be working on its own. //Thank
goodness--it really wasn\'t too bad.// Relieved, Tachibana slowly
pulled his Alter back. \"That should be it.\"

Ryuhou\'s lips parted, gasping softly as the pressure against his face
was almost immediately lifted. //It was…that simple?// Carefully, he
opened his eyes, blinking exaggeratedly until the rest of his
discomfort gradually faded. He sighed openly in relief. \"Hey there.\"

Kazuma sighed as well, his own face lighting in a bright grin. \"You
bastard. Getting us all worked up over something like that.\" He
rubbed the back of Tachibana\'s neck in case it had left some strain
on him. \"Or maybe our Tacchan\'s just that good.\"

Ryuhou smiled. \"Yes. Thank you.\" He squeezed Tachibana\'s hand tightly.

Relieved, Tachibana tilted his head faintly into Kazuma\'s hand. \"I\'m
glad I can do at least this much,\" he replied. Warmth seemed to be
spreading all through him, knowing that both his lovers had returned
safely. He squeezed Ryuhou\'s hand before finally raising his eyes,
his Alter vanishing. \"You look much better.\"

\"Well, except for a few more of these.\" Kazuma traced the scars with
his fingernails. \"But hey, some people think scars are sexy, which
means between the two of us we\'re gonna have to start hosing people
down.\"

Ryuhou rolled his eyes; it was somehow satisfying to be able to
again. \"We\'ll see.\" He tugged Tachibana closer suddenly, urging him
down into a proper greeting kiss; a little less forceful than the one
he\'d shared with Kazuma earlier.

Tachibana smiled between them, leaning into the gentle
affections. //Ryuhou....// He returned the kiss slowly. //I don\'t
want to start anything when he\'s still weak, but....// His fingers
twisted lightly in the other\'s hair, and his heart fluttered.

Kazuma just watched them for a moment, smiling to himself. //They
look good together. Happy….// He felt calmer just seeing them
together, feeling suddenly guilty about how he had treated Tachibana
just that morning. //I\'m glad he\'s back. God, am I.//

//Tachi….// Ryuhou murmured quietly between them, holding him close
as he continued the kiss. When he glanced up once more he caught
Kazuma\'s face; he\'d never seen the expression he was wearing, and it
made his chest flutter a little. \"So,\" he suggested with a slight
grin, \"how about that bed?\"

Tachibana laughed softly. \"And how did you know it was a bed?\" he
teased, pushing to his feet and offering Ryuhou a hand up. \"You
shouldn\'t push yourself, though--you\'re still recovering, after all.\"
He glanced at Kazuma with a grin. //Both of them....//

Ryuhou chuckled as he allowed Tachibana to help him upright. \"I know.
But it\'s not so bad--I\'ve done nothing but rest all day.\" He kept his
fingers twisted tightly in the other\'s as they moved toward the
bedroom.

\"That\'s the spirit!\" Kazuma slapped them both playfully on the rear
and slipped ahead of them. \"We gotta welcome Ryuhou back properly,
after all.\"

Shaking his head, Tachibana happily followed Kazuma back to their
room. //They both...seem so happy,// he reflected idly, watching the
two alternately. //I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen Ryuhou smile so
much.// He felt suddenly warmed, filled with gratitude that the pair
had been returned to him safely. \"You\'d better be good,\" he called
ahead to Kazuma. \"We wouldn\'t want Mimori-san to decide that we can\'t
take proper care of him.\"

Ryuhou cringed a little at the mention of her. \"She still doesn\'t
know,\" he mused quietly. \"About us...\" Though it worried him, his jaw
dropped a little when he saw the larger mattress Kazuma was crawling
about on.

\"Awwrgetrget about that for now,\" Kazuma said, sitting up on his
knees on the bed\'s edge. \"Isn\'t this nice? Tachibana and I already
broke it in, but it could probably still use a little loosening up.\"

Tachibana flushed, embarrassed to think of...what they had done the
previous night. Not even knowing that Ryuhou was hurt, was waiting
for them.... He followed him to the bed, watching the expectant look
in Kazuma\'s eyes. \"I hope it\'s big enough,\" he murmured, running a
hand through his hair.

\"It\'s perfect--just enough to rock the whole house.\" Chuckling darkly
Kazuma fell forward a little, grabbing Ryuhou by the collar and
dragging him onto the mattress. \"C\'mon, Tachibana--let\'s take good
care of ol\' Tight Ass. He won\'t have to lift a finger.\"

Ryuhou grunted a little as he was pressed onto his back, but he
didn\'t complain. Already his eyes were shining anxiously.

Relieved that neither had made a big deal of the issue, he crawled
onto the mattress after the pair. He recognized that look in Ryuhou\'s
eyes, and it made his breath flutter. Leaning in, he offered the
former soldier a slow, deep kiss. \"Welcome home,\" he murmured,
finding and squeezing Kazuma\'s hand to include him in the soft words.

Kazuma felt his heart skip a little, and by the look of him Ryuhou
had felt it, too, but he wasn\'t about to let them get all
sentimental. \"Don\'t go all mushy on us just yet,\" he warned Tachibana
teasingly. He dropped a hand to rub firmly at the backs of his thighs.

\"Don\'t worry about me,\" Ryuhou insisted, holding Tachibana close for
another, longer kiss. \"I\'m fine.\" //And I want to be with you.//

Tachibana shivered at the touch. //Mushy indeed.// He pulled back
with a soft gasp. \"So what kind of welcome are we giving him?\" he
asked, rubbing at Ryuhou\'s chest. The thought of being with them both
again was making him anxious.

\"I was thinking,\" Kazuma drawled playfully, \"that we should fuck
him.\" He leaned forward, licking at Ryuhou\'s neck though his eyes
were on Tachibana. \"To show him how much both of us missed him.\"

He snorted softly. \"One track mind,\" he muttered, though he was
watching Kazuma\'s actions with wide eyes. //I...want them. I want
Ryuhou to....// Licking his lips, Tachibana let his hand slide lower,
over Ryuhou\'s abdomen. \"Perhaps we should start with his clothes,\" he
suggested around a grin. Scooting lower on the bed, he pushed
Ryuhou\'s shirt up to get his lips on warm skin.

Ryuhou gasped softly, and by the time he knew what was happening
Kazuma was already pulling his shirt over his head. Two warm mouths
were sliding over his stomach and chest. \"You….\" He moaned quietly as
one of them began to suck at his neck.

\"Just relax,\" Kazuma chuckled, reaching down to slide his fingertips
just beneath the band of his sweat pants. \"We\'ll take good care of
you. Won\'t we, Tacchan?\"

Tachibana hummed his affirmative, too busy sliding Ryuhou\'s pants
down his legs, trailing after them wioft oft bites and kisses. //I
want him.// He brushed his fingers over Ryuhou\'s length, reaching up
to rub his hand up between the backs of Kazuma\'s thighs.

Ryuhou tilted his head back, hips shifting forward into the
touch. \"Tachi…Kazu--\" His lips were caught abruptly in a firm kiss,
and he pawed lightly at Kazuma\'s shoulder.

Kazuma waited until they were both breathless before pulling back
with a gasp. \"Relax,\" he reminded, retreating a little and pulling
Tachibana with him. \"We\'ve gotta get ready, too.\" He grinned as he
slid his tongue over Tachibana\'s neck, beginning to pull his shirt
off as well.

Sighing, Tachibana helped Kazuma out of his clothes as well, until
all three were naked. He crawled away from the pair briefly,
retrieving a bottle of lube before returning. Covering his hand, he
reached out to spread it over Kazuma. \"Think you can take care of
him?\" he asked, handing over the bottle.

\"Actually...\" Kazuma grinned, drawing Tachibana back up against him
as if to share some secret. \"I was thinking,\" he said, stroking him
teasingly, \"you\'ve never taken him before, have you?\"

Ryuhou blinked, sitting up as his eyes slid between Tachibana\'s face
and Kazuma\'s hand. //No…he hasn\'t….// The thought made his body
tighten as he edged closer.

Tachibana blinked, pausing his movements to meet Kazuma\'s eyes.
He\'d...never really thought about it, but now that he\'d mentioned
it.... He glanced down at Ryuhou. \"No, but....\" He licked his lips,
slowly drawing his hand back.

Ryuhou leaned in, whispering his lips over Tachibana\'s cheek. \"Do
you...want to?\" he asked, shivering a little as he imagined it. He
glanced between the two of them, wondering if that meant….

Kazuma grinned, emptying some of the lubricant over his fingers so he
could begin to spread it over Ryuhou. \"Then you\'d get me,\" he
confirmed, enjoying the other\'s pleased sighs. \"If you can handle it.\"

Shivering, Tachibana nodded. \"All right.\" //Me and Ryuhou....// He
moved his hand away from Kazuma to quickly cover himself. //We\'re
really going to....// Warming to the idea, he tilted his head to meet
Ryuhou in a full kiss. Tachibana nudged Kazuma down towards the
mattress, suddenly growing tight and anxious.

Kazuma eagerly complied. Though Ryuhou had taken him once before he
had still felt in control then. Now…. He licked his lips, eager to
feel what Ryuhou really had to offer. //Not that he\'ll be at his
best, since we\'re still recovering, but....// He urged Ryuhou down to
him.

Ryuhou was shivering as he leaned in. Watching Kazuma\'s bright iris,
feeling Tachibana sliding up behind him--it was almost too much
already, and he hoped he would be strong enough for them both. \"Don\'t
hold back on my account,\" he reminded with a tiny smirk.

Running his hands down Ryuhou\'s back, he leaned in to hungrily kiss
his neck. \"Just enjoy,\" he whispered, eagerly sliding a finger within
his lover. //So tight....// He grinned as he began to move within
him. \"Ryuhou....\"

Ryuhou took in a deep breath. It wasn\'t that hard to believe he\'d
only done it like this once before--it was still so strange, feeling
Tachibana inside him. But it…was good, and he murmured quietly as he
reached for Kazuma to offer him the same.

Kazuma grinned breathlessly, spreading his thighs so that Ryuhou
could reach deeper. He reached up to touch Ryuhou\'s face. \"You know,
they are kind of sexy,\" he chuckled, earning him a grin.

Tachibana laughed softly, adding another finger, and when Ryuhou
still didn\'t protest he deemed it enough. //I just...want him....//
Pressing his forehead between Ryuhou\'s shoulder blades, he finally
entered his long-time lover. \"Ryu....\" His voice trailed off in a
pleased murmur.

Ryuhou\'s lips parted, but it wasn\'t until a moment later that a thick
sigh escaped him. It was so tight it was painful, but already his
body was pulsing with heat--he wanted more. \"Tachi….\" He almost
forgot about Kazuma there until he was drawn down, and he moaned at
the second warmth that spread through him when he was enveloped in
his second lover.

Kazuma groaned. //He\'s so…thick….// But he quickly relaxed, curling
his fingers around Ryuhou\'s strong arms. \"God...you feel good,\" he
gasped.

Tachibana\'s breath came in quiet, quick gasps as he gradually began
to move, pulling slowly out of Ryuhou and feeling him do the same
with Kazuma below. The sound of their mixing voices encouraged his
own, muffled against Ryuhou\'s back. His hands were tight around his
waist as he thrust into the other with a bit more
strength. \"Ryuhou....\" //I\'m...in him....//

\"Tachi--\" Ryuhou\'s eyelids fluttered as he did his best to move
between the pair. Once they\'d established a rhythm it was easier, and
he could concentrate more on the heated pleasure coursing through
him. To think that they could move so well together….

Kazuma shifted his hips, drawing Ryuhou closer to where he ached most
and groaning loudly when he scraped that spot again and again. Ryuhou
looked so amazing from this angle, sweat-dampened and flushed. He
could barely see Tachibana, but he could feel him, adding a second
force to each of Ryuhou\'s thrusts. It was amazing. \"Harder,\" he
gasped, wanting to feel the bed shake. \"Fuck--come *on*.\"

Shuddering, Tachibana raised his head to rest his chin oRyuhRyuhou\'s
shoulder. He tried to follow Kazuma\'s demands, though...he was
enjoying the deep, slow pulse. //It\'s okay. For them....// Forcing
himself to take a full breath, Tachibana pushed harder into Ryuhou,
urging him to move with more strength as well.

Ryuhou choked on thin cry; he wasn\'t as used to this as his partners,
and he knew he was going to be even sorer than he already was later
on, but for now he didn\'t feel the pain. He did everything he could
to follow both their urgings. He was losing himself, moaning
recklessly as he thrust sharply into the man below him.

Kazuma\'s head fell back, his voice emptying in an almost
growl. //He\'s so….// It was hard to imagine that Ryuhou should have
been stronger than this, more forceful than this. //Soon. When we\'ve
healed….// For now, though, he was quickly reaching his limit, and he
could tell that Ryuhou couldn\'t be far behind. With a cry he
climaxed, pressing bruises into Ryuhou\'s arms as he clutched the firm
body to him. \"Oh God….\"

Already stretched thin, Tachibana\'s voice rose to echo Kazuma\'s. The
heat and friction was too much, and he groaned thickly as he followed
Kazuma into release. His hips moved urgently, pouring his strength
into Ryuhou\'s tight body, arms trembling as he hugged close to his
lover.

Ryuhou\'s own cry was a sob, ragged and thick, as he was surrounded by
the two and their pleasure. The heat throbbing in and around him
quickly drew from him his own release; his body shuddered, hips
spasming weakly between them until he was spent and exhausted. \"Tachi…
Kazuma….\" He braced his hands against Kazuma\'s chest to keep from
falling over beneath the weight at his back.

Tachibana pulled some of his senses back to him, enough to release
Ryuhou and drop back onto his ankles. \"God....\" Eyes closed, he ran a
trembling hand through his hair. //I should...get a towel....// The
others didn\'t look like they were going to move, so.... //In a
minute,// he decided, shoulders drooping. He could go once he got
some strength back.

Kazuma sighed, gently urging Ryuhou back--the man looked dazed, and
he chuckled as he helped him stretch out on his side. \"Damn, I almost
forgot how big you are,\" he murmured, pressing a kiss to Ryuhou\'s
temple. \"You\'d better rest that monster for a while.\"

Ryuhou flushed, not sure in his hazy state whether he was being
sarcastic. \"Fuck you.\" He paused, stretching his legs. \"Again.\"

Deciding he\'d better move before he fell asleep, Tachibana pushed to
his feet and stumbled into the bathroom. He could hear them tiredly
bickering at each other the whole way as he returned with a towel.
After cleaning himself off, he set on Ryuhou\'s tired form with a
grin. \"You two look too exhausted to be fighting,\" he scolded half-
heartedly, gently rubbing Ryuhou down.

Ryuhou grunted softly, but when he realized what Tachibana was up to
he shied away in embarrassment. //I can clean myself, at least….// He
borrowed the towel so he could clean Kazuma himself, which nearly
started another fight.

\"Little brat.\" Kazuma won the brief battle, and he finished wiping
himself--and the sheets--before tossing the towel half-heartedly
toward Tachibana\'s dirty clothes pile near the closet. He then
flopped back on the mattress with a sigh. \"Ah...I\'m beat.\"

Once the towel was stolen, he set to pulling back the blankets.
Finally the two seemed to be settling, and he carefully crawled in so
Ryuhou was between him and Kazuma. \"Shit, it\'s cold,\" he muttered,
wiggling close to his lovers and turning his cheek against Ryuhou\'s
shoulder. He tugged the blankets up to cover them all. //I\'m…tired….//

Ryuhou slipped onto his back; it might not have been the best
position for his sore muscles, but this way both of them could come
closer…. He licked his lips lazily as he drew Tachibana against
him. \"I\'m glad…\" he started to say. But it felt like he\'d said it so
many times already, inside himself, he had to chuckle a little. \"I\'m
just glad.\"

\"No kidding.\" Kazuma wriggled up against Ryuhou\'s other side,
reaching across him to ruffle Tachibana\'s hair before settling. He
would have never imagined, when all this had begun, that he would end
up here with the pair of them. \"Well, I\'m exhausted. Goodnight, guys.\"

\"Mmm...goodnight,\" Tachibana mumbled in reply, curling close to
Ryuhou. He found that if he stretched his arm a little, he could rest
his hand against Kazuma\'s ribs. //I\'m so tired.... But I\'m glad
they\'re here.// His whispered his lips briefly against Ryuhou\'s ear,
smiling faintly as he gradually fell asleep.
