rkoldFirst I made the entry with this fic accidentally private and then I put it on flock about 24 hours later, so I'm not sure anyone who I didn't actually direct to it saw it. Besides this makes it more conducive to share with the comm where a link will be cross-posted XD:

Spoilers through episode 06 of Season 02, takes place post the events in 06 before 07 starts. Possibly playing with the timeline since Sunrise hasn't been really clear on it themselves and making up some background when necessary. >>;
Suzaku watched from the relative safety of the cockpit of Lancelot as the crowd of officials escorted Nunnally away. Heart still racing from the recent battle he quickly shut off his communications link, not wanting to be disturbed in his thoughts. Closing his eyes, he fought back the start of a few tears and just hugged himself. He'd known when he had chosen to come back to Japan all the ghosts of his past he would be facing but this battle even more than Ashford had brought it all back to him. At least he'd managed to keep Nunnally unscathed, hopefully.
"Oi, Suzaku-kuuun~, Come out and let us make sure all the components are in working shape." Tapping against the leg of Lancelot as if it was a door, Lloyd called out cheerfully to the boy still hidden inside the machine.
"What Lloyd-san means is we want to make sure you're not injured," explained Cecile, giving Lloyd a hard look. "We hadn't quite anticipated all the upgrades to the Guren."
Tightening his hand in frustration, Suzaku exhaled and wiped away any moistness from his eyes exiting from his Knightmare. "I'm sorry for causing you any concern, but I'm fine."
"Congratulations," giggled Lloyd. "Lancelot did well and saved the fair princess."
Walking towards the teen, Cecile looked at the boy closer. "Are you sure you don't have a concussion, Suzaku-kun, from that one blow?"
"So painful!"
"You ought to see a doctor, Suzaku-kun, just to be safe.
"I'm sure I'm fine."
"Suzaku!" A loud shout was the only warning the teen was given before he was crushed in the embrace of his fellow Knight. "You had me worried." Releasing his prize for only a second, Gino quickly eyed Suzaku for any obvious injuries, before hugging the boy close again and burying his face in the teen's thick locks of hair.
Soundlessly Anya appeared at their side, snapping a few fast pictures.
"You asked me to protect the princess, remember, Gino?" sighed the boy, trying to keep his voice even and the blush from his skin as the taller blond's lips every so often made contact with strands of his hair causing the youth to shiver. "Is this really appropriate?"
Pulling back, Gino held the smaller teen by his shoulders and frowned for a second. "Of course, it's necessary! What if you hadn't made it out of the ship in time?"
"Lord Weinberg, Suzaku-kun wouldn't needlessly risk his life," responded Cecile in the smaller knight's defense, not completely believing the words herself after the time she had spent with the young man the year before.
Expression serious, Gino looked into Suzaku's eyes, trying to fight the way his chest tightened as the boy's hands fisted and he squirmed slightly. "Just because you couldn't save one princess, doesn't mean you should die for another."
The loud slap echoed in the room and Gino just stared for several second before he began to feel the pain from the blossoming red mark on his cheek. "Suzaku..."
"You don't understand, Gino, it's not an issue of me risking my life!" Shaking off the hands that were still softly holding his trembling shoulders, Suzaku stalked out of the hangar.
"Suzaku..."
"And Lord Blondie's lunge hits its mark but was returned with an even truer volley breaking past the defenses."
"Lloyd-san!" Cecile shot her boss a dark look, causing the man to attempt a repentant smile at the still shocked blond knight.
Snapping several more pictures of Gino, Anya put her cell phone away. "You lose."
"Lord Weinberg, I'm sure if you talked to Suzaku-kun.."
Taking his hand away from his cheek and finally focusing back on the other 3 people sharing the hangar, Gino offered a companionable smile. "I think Suzaku wants to be alone. Anyone want to join me for a trip into town?" When he received no answer immediately, the tall man nodded and strode confidentially away.
"Extra Innings."
"Lady Alstreim?"
"Come, we can go shopping too." Giving a rare smile, Anya once again tugged on Cecile's hand and the older woman followed, leaving Lloyd alone with his creation.
It was hours later and night had already fallen across the city when an exhausted Suzaku returned to the apartment he shared with the other two Knights of the Round in the Britannian compound. Pursing his lips, Suzaku shut his eyes for a brief second as he felt his chest constrict nervously before he took a steadying breath and opened the door. Probably he should have talked to Gino instead of running away, but between the raw emotion of the battle and the other knight's comment, Suzaku had been unable to truly think clearly. He still couldn't remember changing out of his flight suit and wasn't sure where he had spent his time wandering in the city; the places, people and even his emotions barely registering in his raw desire to flee until the sky had purpled with darkness. Upon seeing the few stars sending out their light, the boy had realized he needed to head towards home and actually talk to Gino.
"Tadaima," Suzaku called unable to break that simple force of habit from when he had been a small boy, despite all his years of living in Britannia. Removing his boots upon entering his dwelling was another. His brow furrowed as a prickling at the back of his mind tried to warn him of a change in his environment as he hung his cloak in the closet. Something was wrong. The apartment was pitch black and not a single sound could be heard from it, not even the dreadful music that Gino insisted on listening to at maximum volume whenever he thought he was alone. Even Arthur appeared to have vanished, it was almost as if his recent show of ingratitude had caused all the things he had grown to care about to be swiftly taken from him once again. Flicking on the light heart pounding in his chest, Suzaku braced himself into a defensive stance ready for someone or something to jump out of his nightmares towards him. Instead, he found the floor in front of him littered with tiny blue flowers leading in a trail towards his bedroom.
Not wanting to squash the blossoms Suzaku gathered them as he walked towards his room, finding some clovers scattered along the path as well. Staring at the small nosegay in his hand for a second, the teen blushed nearly dropping it at the sudden connection his mind made between the blue of the forget-me-nots and the green of the clovers. This also answered immediately who was the mostly likely culprit for the odd situation the teen now found himself in. Arriving at his room, for a brief moment, Suzaku nearly knocked before remembering that this was his own door which was closed to him. With a sudden rush of annoyance the white knight swung the door wide.
"Oh-kae-reeh Nay-sae-eh~" trilled Gino as he grinned up at Suzaku.
Despite his earlier irritation, the teen couldn't help but stand blinking foolishly at the taller blond spread out across his bed. His bed. Which was covered in some sort of large red petals.
"I've been practicing saying that just for you."
"What did you do to my bed?" demanded the younger knight crossing his arms over his chest without dropping his small tussie mussie, any pangs of guilt vanishing. "And why are you there?"
"I'm here to eat you?" Sitting up more fully against Suzaku's pillows, Gino just smiled brighter, before his expression became slightly more contrite. "Actually, I've been waiting to apologize to you."
"But what did you do to my bed?!?!"
"Do you like it? It's tulip petals. I was afraid you'd come back before I finished." Standing up, Gino walked towards Suzaku holding another small bouquet out in offering to the teen.
Swallowing hard, Suzaku tried not to look at the way the taller knight's shirt fell just an inch shy of the top of his pants and focused on trying to retain his anger instead. "So you decided to just take over my room and my bed."
Dropping to his knees, Gino smiled up at Suzaku presenting the flowers. "I'm really sorry, Suzaku, you just mean so much to me, I don't want to lose you."
Still frowning Suzaku took the second posey only recognizing the white camellias and the several large red tulips amongst all the other small white bell-like blossoms.
"So will you forgive me?"
"I should really be asking yours, Gino," sighed the brunette, placing his flowers carefully on the small bureau in the room, not wanting to ruin something he knew the other knight had spent so much effort on.
Wrapping his arms around the slender boy's waist, the blond rested against Suzaku's chest listening to his thundering heart. "I don't care who apologizes, just as long as you're not angry at me. I didn't mean to hurt you."
Without conscious thought, Suzaku let his fingers thread through Gino's hair, watching as he delicately wove the strands over his gloves. "It's different being back here than I thought."
"I know." Squeezing, the blond tried to offer what small comfort he could when he felt the younger knight fight back a sob. Gently, he helped the teen down onto his lap, kissing the top of his head. "I love you, Suzaku and would do anything for you."
"You say that a lot, Gino."
"I mean it." Tilting Suzaku's face to look at his own, the taller man smiled and kissed his lips. "I still remember when I first saw you, I thought you were missing something, something vital." Tenderly, he brushed a finger down the boy's cheek wiping away any wetness. "It wasn't until I came to meet you after our joust that I realized what it was. Your smile, your joy. And I decided I was going to be the one to bring it back to you."
"Gino..." Closing his eyes, Suzaku placed his hand atop the much larger one cradling his face. "I.. you have."
"I've been in love with you for months and I just can't stand the thought of losing you now. I want you to be mine, always, and forever, so promise me something?"
"What?" questioned the boy trembling as the blond's lips kissed his eyelids, before trailing more tiny kisses across the bridge of his nose.
"Promise me you'll take care of yourself, don't make me worry." Carefully, Gino drew both Suzaku's hands into his own and started working off the long black gloves, kissing the knuckles when they became visible.
"I promise.. just.. promise me the same," the brunette requested gruffly, squeezing the other knight's hands.
"I promise," smiled Gino, letting one of the teen's hand's go so it could rest against his heart. "I love you. I don't ever want to hurt you."
"I.. like you, too, Gino." Licking his suddenly dry lips, as he felt the other knight's larger hands starting to unbutton his collar and his rather obvious erection beneath his ass. "Are you.."
"Am I what?" smirked the larger knight working open several more buttons and leaning forward to let his breath tickle the youth's neck. "Your boyfriend... You lover..."
Gasping, Suzaku's brow creased in concentration trying to remember his thoughts from only a moment ago. "Are you.. going to kiss me?"
"Do you want me to?" The sound of the chains closures of Suzaku's military coat being unfastened were easily audible in the mostly silent room.
Unable to find his voice for a few seconds as a few more buttons were opened and the larger knight started directing the jacket off his body, the teen gave a quick nod of his head. "Yes"
"As you wish."
Gino started the kiss with the barest hint of pressure, before adding more passion and nipping playfully at the teen's lips, waiting for Suzaku to grant him permission to deepen the kiss. Making a frustrated whine, the teen parted his lips and Gino was only too happy to take that as his desired signal and slipped his tongue into the smaller knight's mouth.
Hands clutching the blond's shirt, Suzaku pulled back for a second gasping for air, before returning to the kiss with even greater zeal, barely noticing the way the larger knight's fingers were finishing the buttons of his shirt. Moaning softly into the kiss Suzaku let the taller man explore his mouth and under his now open shirt, his own erection pressing firmly against Gino's belly.
Flicking his thumb against Suzaku's nipples, Gino continued tasting the teen's mouth, unable to resist the way the smaller knight had started to squirm against him. Ignoring the ache that was beginning to develop in his knees from sitting seiza for so long in favor of rocking slowly against the boy in his lap, trying to make the other boy more desperate. Their tongues continued to entwine together as Gino ran his hand down Suzaku's side.
"Ow!" Pulling back again breathless, Suzaku winced slightly as the blond experimentally touched the area that had gotten the negative reaction frowning.
"You said you were fine."
"I'm mostly fine, it's just a bruise."
The taller knight tried to hide any disappointment or frustration knowing he needed to put the other teen first, his rational side fighting with his lust. "We should go to the hospital."
"No. I'm fine. I want this." Leaning forward Suzaku kissed Gino, hands tentatively undoing a few more buttons of the taller man's already partially opened shirt, brushing against the skin underneath in the process.
Groaning, the older knight broke the kiss unable to battle with his own desires and the logic of Suzaku's suggestion. "Tomorrow. Definitely hospital. We should.. move to the bed. Promise to try to be gentle." Lifting the other boy easily, Gino stole a few more kisses as he carried him. Gently, he laid Suzaku down unable to stop staring at his half-dressed form.
"You should shut the door, Gino," stated Suzaku blushing at the wide open entrance easily advertising to anyone else who entered the apartment just what the two knights were engaged in.
"Don't need to," laughed Gino as he finished removing his shirt and tossed it onto the floor in a heap. "Did a few favors for Anya to take Arthur and spend the night in a hotel." Grinning proudly the blond started work on his pants and boxers, finding his erection was making the process take longer than it would normally.
"WHAT?!?!" squawked, the smaller knight, his fingers pausing at his partially opened zipper.
"Trust me, Suzaku, you don't want to know the details."
"So are you then.." Suzaku's skin darkened to an even redder color and his eyes looked huge, his hands still not moving.
Finally kicking off his pants and boxers, Gino scowled at the clothing for a second before clambering to sit on the side of the bed, brow furrowing thoughtfully as he traced a finger over Suzaku's lips. "It's not like that, Suzaku. I've not been with anyone else since I realized I loved you, 6 months ago. I only want to be with you." The tips of his ears brightening slightly, not used to actually talking to his sexual partners or wanting the relationship to last more than one night, the blond paused for a few moments. "Are you a virgin, Suzaku?"
Raising his hips, Suzaku slid his pants neatly from his body, handing them to the taller blond whose eyes never left him. "No."
"Oh."
"Don't sound so disappointed, Gino. I know you're not."
"It's not that!" exclaimed Gino, watching as the boy wiggled when he started pulling off one of his socks and then the other. "It just makes me sad, to think that whoever hurt you before was so intimate with you as well.
Not saying anything, Suzaku just closed his eyes and clench his fists. Silently the blond cursed to himself before scattering some of the tulip petals over the teen's belly. Taking Suzaku's hands in his much larger ones, Gino squeezed gently. "It won't be like that with me."
"It's already not. I'm sorry, Gino, for making everything so complicated."
A shiver of relief ran through the taller knight as wide emerald eyes opened to glance up at him. Smiling fondly at the teen the blond transferred both of the other knight's hands to one of his. Picking up one of the petals remaining on the sheets he started tracing it down the teen's neck and towards his one remaining article of clothing, watching as arousal started to make a reappearance. "It's O.K., I love you. I can be patient, sort of." Leaning forward Gino started trailing tiny kisses in the wake of the petal, grinning wider as the smaller knight's breathing became more labored the further down his chest the kisses went. "Can I take it off?"
Licking his lips, Suzaku nodded in approval, gasping as he felt the soft touch of the other knight's fingertips against his hips as the elastic band of his underwear was stretched and worked off his body.
"You're so beautiful, Suzaku," stated an awed Gino as he helped the teen spread his legs partially open and slid between them. Plucking another petal from the youth's quivering belly, he finished his trail past Suzaku's belly button, over his pubic hair and along his cock. "I don't care how many people you were with before me, just so long as I am last." Smirking, Gino copied the movement of the petal over the curly hairs with his lips, feeling his own arousal increase at each shaky breath coming from the teen. "So will you be my bride, Suzaku?"
"WH---"
Not allowing the boy to finish his response, Gino grinned as he took the head of Suzaku's cock into his mouth, hand still holding tightly onto the teen's wrists to further cut off any argument. Swirling his tongue around the tip, he kept his lips tight around the shaft before slowly bobbing his head which rewarded him with a loud moan from the teen. Encouraged, Gino pressed his tongue against the more sensitive underside and continued sliding Suzaku in and out of his mouth, with each stroke taking in more of the teen. On feeling the boy start to rock upwards to greet his mouth, the blond placed a firm hand on Suzaku's hip pressing him into the mattress.
The world shrank to just the warm mouth surrounding him as Suzaku moaned and arched his back trying desperately to thrust upwards. Gasping for breath the teen clenched his hands together as he felt his entire body tensing, before the blond's wicked tongue found a way to tease him further. Writhing frantically Suzaku twisted his arms above his head in search of some sort of purchase to take out his building desire. Wrinkling his nose at the sudden scent of artificial strawberry the smaller knight groaned in disappointment as Gino temporarily released him from his mouth. "Please.."
Grinning, the other knight pressed a slick finger against the teen before working it inside. "Please?"
"Yes.." hissed Suzaku, half opening his eyes to stare at Gino with lust filled eyes. Taking a deep breath, the smaller knight relaxed at the intrusion, opening his legs wider.
Adding a second finger, the taller knight tried to keep his breathing even the boy looked so perfectly debauched. Leaning forward, he kissed Suzaku and released the teen's wrists. "Yes?" Smiling, Gino rubbed his own erection against Suzaku's while his fingers continued to stretch the smaller knight. "Want you to want this, like I do."
Blinking quickly the smaller teen squeaked in surprised as he found himself being flipped to straddle the blond knight's hips. Head spinning and wrists still tingling, Suzaku's brow furrowed slightly as he stared down at Gino. "I do want this." Licking his lips, Suzaku let the cheeks of his ass gently rub against the blond's sticky erection.
Groaning Gino half-closed his eyes placing one of his hands on the youth's hip to support him careful of the large bruise on his ribs and side. "Want to make love to you.. not just tonight.. not just because..."
"Yes..." Reaching into the sheets Suzaku retrieved the tube of lubricant and squeezed some out onto his fingers. Swallowing hard he twisted his waist ignoring the small twinge of pain in his ribs to start coating Gino with the gel.
"Yes, like that... Suzaku.."
Nodding in agreement the smaller knight took a deep breath before raising his hips and starting to press back onto Gino's cock willing his body to relax and let the larger knight enter him.
"Suzaku..."
Slowly the boy inched down panting loudly a trickle of sweat dripping down his back at the effort.
"Hope... hope am not hurting.."
"No.. just so.."
"..so.. tight.." Gritting his teeth, Gino forced himself not to thrust upwards, letting the teen set his own pace. "..love you.."
Nodding Suzaku gasped loudly as their hips came together breathing hard from the effort and the fullness in his body. Using Gino's belly for balance he gradually slid upwards before bringing their hips back together at an equally leisurely pace. "Oh.. Gino..."
"Mmmm.. Suzaku.." watching the teen move through half-slit eyes, Gino was unsure what was better, the sight of the boy impaling himself or the sensations from it. So hot and tight and slick and teasing. Licking his lips, Gino groaned and started stroking Suzaku's erection in pace with the boy's movements.
"Gino..."
Rewarded with some pre-come and a much desired increase in their rhythm, Gino grinned as he stroked the teen harder.
"..Gino..Please.."
"..Please?"
"...Harder.."
Digging his fingers into Suzaku's hip and his heels into the mattress, Gino groaned as he finally allowed himself to push into the teen. Angling his thrusts, he tried to concentrate on what made the boy moan the loudest hand move frantically over Suzaku's erection.
"..Gino...Oh.. Gino.." Body tensing, Suzaku stilled as he was overtaken by his release covering Gino's hand and belly with it.
"Yes... Suzaku.." Pounding a few more seconds into the shuddering teen, Gino came hard buried to the hilt. Smiing fondly, he lay limply down on the bed. "..love you so much.."
Closing his eyes, Suzaku gave the man still filling him a small genuine smile for a moment. "..thank you.." Grabbing at the sheet, the smaller knight started wiping off the sticky mess before Gino took it from his hands and finished the job when he noticed the teen yawning.
Shifting their positions slightly, Gino slipped from Suzaku's body and let the boy settle against him, gently snuggling the smaller knight and kissing his head. "I should be thanking you. See, being my boyfriend is not so bad."
Sighing contently, Suzaku yawned again and cuddled closer only half listening to the other man. "..no.. it's good."
"And remember, tomorrow you need to go to the hospital."
"Mmmm.."
"I love you, Suzaku."
"I.." mumbled Suzaku his sentence lost as he fell asleep.
Brushing the teen's bangs from his forehead, Gino stretched down to kiss his forehead. "I know. And someday, I know I will hear you say it."

Pressing the send button, Anya posted to her blog pleased with her latest effort. Reaching over she pet Arthur, thankful that the cat had settled down about an hour before and stopped mewling at the door to their hotel room. Switching to web browser mode, the petite knight went to her favorite message board. She had several messages waiting for her and without even needing to think she made her responses. Once finished she checked on a few of her threads and made more responses to the comments. Finished with old business, 'Mistress of the Round' started a new thread offering more casual pictures that could be ordered of the Knight of the Three, Gino Weinberg. As an example she shared one of Gino looking shocked from earlier that day when Suzaku had slapped him. Suppressing a small grin, she next offered a few candid pictures of the tall blond knight with Knight of the Seven, Suzaku Kururugi, promising those ordering they would find the pictures to their liking. A final note in her post shared that she had updated her fan-fiction with the latest chapter.
Yawning, Anya expected her inbox would soon be swamped. The fangirls had taken an interested in Suzaku since he had become a Knight of the Round and pairing him with Gino had only been natural. It didn't hurt that Anya knew that Gino was rather head over heels in love with the other knight in real life. It certainly made it easier for her to write about it. She only hoped he was successful for everyone's sake. Closing her phone she started it recharging. Now, all she would need to do is convince the tall blond he owed her a few cute pictures with Suzaku and her fame over the internet would be cemented. No one would ever forget 'Mistress of the Round' even if they never knew she was really Anya Alstreim

Without conscious thought, Suzaku let his fingers thread through Gino's hair, watching as he delicately wove the strands over his gloves. "It's different being back here than I thought."
"I know." Squeezing, the blond tried to offer what small comfort he could when he felt the younger knight fight back a sob. Gently, he helped the teen down onto his lap, kissing the top of his head. "I love you, Suzaku and would do anything for you."
"You say that a lot, Gino."
"I mean it." Tilting Suzaku's face to look at his own, the taller man smiled and kissed his lips. "I still remember when I first saw you, I thought you were missing something, something vital." Tenderly, he brushed a finger down the boy's cheek wiping away any wetness. "It wasn't until I came to meet you after our joust that I realized what it was. Your smile, your joy. And I decided I was going to be the one to bring it back to you."
"Gino..." Closing his eyes, Suzaku placed his hand atop the much larger one cradling his face. "I.. you have."
"I've been in love with you for months and I just can't stand the thought of losing you now. I want you to be mine, always, and forever, so promise me something?"
"What?" questioned the boy trembling as the blond's lips kissed his eyelids, before trailing more tiny kisses across the bridge of his nose.
"Promise me you'll take care of yourself, don't make me worry." Carefully, Gino drew both Suzaku's hands into his own and started working off the long black gloves, kissing the knuckles when they became visible.
"I promise.. just.. promise me the same," the brunette requested gruffly, squeezing the other knight's hands.
"I promise," smiled Gino, letting one of the teen's hand's go so it could rest against his heart. "I love you. I don't ever want to hurt you."
"I.. like you, too, Gino." Licking his suddenly dry lips, as he felt the other knight's larger hands starting to unbutton his collar and his rather obvious erection beneath his ass. "Are you.."
"Am I what?" smirked the larger knight working open several more buttons and leaning forward to let his breath tickle the youth's neck. "Your boyfriend... You lover..."
Gasping, Suzaku's brow creased in concentration trying to remember his thoughts from only a moment ago. "Are you.. going to kiss me?"
"Do you want me to?" The sound of the chains closures of Suzaku's military coat being unfastened were easily audible in the mostly silent room.
Unable to find his voice for a few seconds as a few more buttons were opened and the larger knight started directing the jacket off his body, the teen gave a quick nod of his head. "Yes"
"As you wish."
Gino started the kiss with the barest hint of pressure, before adding more passion and nipping playfully at the teen's lips, waiting for Suzaku to grant him permission to deepen the kiss. Making a frustrated whine, the teen parted his lips and Gino was only too happy to take that as his desired signal and slipped his tongue into the smaller knight's mouth.
Hands clutching the blond's shirt, Suzaku pulled back for a second gasping for air, before returning to the kiss with even greater zeal, barely noticing the way the larger knight's fingers were finishing the buttons of his shirt. Moaning softly into the kiss Suzaku let the taller man explore his mouth and under his now open shirt, his own erection pressing firmly against Gino's belly.
Flicking his thumb against Suzaku's nipples, Gino continued tasting the teen's mouth, unable to resist the way the smaller knight had started to squirm against him. Ignoring the ache that was beginning to develop in his knees from sitting seiza for so long in favor of rocking slowly against the boy in his lap, trying to make the other boy more desperate. Their tongues continued to entwine together as Gino ran his hand down Suzaku's side.
"Ow!" Pulling back again breathless, Suzaku winced slightly as the blond experimentally touched the area that had gotten the negative reaction frowning.
"You said you were fine."
"I'm mostly fine, it's just a bruise."
The taller knight tried to hide any disappointment or frustration knowing he needed to put the other teen first, his rational side fighting with his lust. "We should go to the hospital."
"No. I'm fine. I want this." Leaning forward Suzaku kissed Gino, hands tentatively undoing a few more buttons of the taller man's already partially opened shirt, brushing against the skin underneath in the process.
Groaning, the older knight broke the kiss unable to battle with his own desires and the logic of Suzaku's suggestion. "Tomorrow. Definitely hospital. We should.. move to the bed. Promise to try to be gentle." Lifting the other boy easily, Gino stole a few more kisses as he carried him. Gently, he laid Suzaku down unable to stop staring at his half-dressed form.
"You should shut the door, Gino," stated Suzaku blushing at the wide open entrance easily advertising to anyone else who entered the apartment just what the two knights were engaged in.
"Don't need to," laughed Gino as he finished removing his shirt and tossed it onto the floor in a heap. "Did a few favors for Anya to take Arthur and spend the night in a hotel." Grinning proudly the blond started work on his pants and boxers, finding his erection was making the process take longer than it would normally.
"WHAT?!?!" squawked, the smaller knight, his fingers pausing at his partially opened zipper.
"Trust me, Suzaku, you don't want to know the details."
"So are you then.." Suzaku's skin darkened to an even redder color and his eyes looked huge, his hands still not moving.
Finally kicking off his pants and boxers, Gino scowled at the clothing for a second before clambering to sit on the side of the bed, brow furrowing thoughtfully as he traced a finger over Suzaku's lips. "It's not like that, Suzaku. I've not been with anyone else since I realized I loved you, 6 months ago. I only want to be with you." The tips of his ears brightening slightly, not used to actually talking to his sexual partners or wanting the relationship to last more than one night, the blond paused for a few moments. "Are you a virgin, Suzaku?"
Raising his hips, Suzaku slid his pants neatly from his body, handing them to the taller blond whose eyes never left him. "No."
"Oh."
"Don't sound so disappointed, Gino. I know you're not."
"It's not that!" exclaimed Gino, watching as the boy wiggled when he started pulling off one of his socks and then the other. "It just makes me sad, to think that whoever hurt you before was so intimate with you as well.
Not saying anything, Suzaku just closed his eyes and clench his fists. Silently the blond cursed to himself before scattering some of the tulip petals over the teen's belly. Taking Suzaku's hands in his much larger ones, Gino squeezed gently. "It won't be like that with me."
"It's already not. I'm sorry, Gino, for making everything so complicated."
A shiver of relief ran through the taller knight as wide emerald eyes opened to glance up at him. Smiling fondly at the teen the blond transferred both of the other knight's hands to one of his. Picking up one of the petals remaining on the sheets he started tracing it down the teen's neck and towards his one remaining article of clothing, watching as arousal started to make a reappearance. "It's O.K., I love you. I can be patient, sort of." Leaning forward Gino started trailing tiny kisses in the wake of the petal, grinning wider as the smaller knight's breathing became more labored the further down his chest the kisses went. "Can I take it off?"
Licking his lips, Suzaku nodded in approval, gasping as he felt the soft touch of the other knight's fingertips against his hips as the elastic band of his underwear was stretched and worked off his body.
"You're so beautiful, Suzaku," stated an awed Gino as he helped the teen spread his legs partially open and slid between them. Plucking another petal from the youth's quivering belly, he finished his trail past Suzaku's belly button, over his pubic hair and along his cock. "I don't care how many people you were with before me, just so long as I am last." Smirking, Gino copied the movement of the petal over the curly hairs with his lips, feeling his own arousal increase at each shaky breath coming from the teen. "So will you be my bride, Suzaku?"
"WH---"
Not allowing the boy to finish his response, Gino grinned as he took the head of Suzaku's cock into his mouth, hand still holding tightly onto the teen's wrists to further cut off any argument. Swirling his tongue around the tip, he kept his lips tight around the shaft before slowly bobbing his head which rewarded him with a loud moan from the teen. Encouraged, Gino pressed his tongue against the more sensitive underside and continued sliding Suzaku in and out of his mouth, with each stroke taking in more of the teen. On feeling the boy start to rock upwards to greet his mouth, the blond placed a firm hand on Suzaku's hip pressing him into the mattress.
The world shrank to just the warm mouth surrounding him as Suzaku moaned and arched his back trying desperately to thrust upwards. Gasping for breath the teen clenched his hands together as he felt his entire body tensing, before the blond's wicked tongue found a way to tease him further. Writhing frantically Suzaku twisted his arms above his head in search of some sort of purchase to take out his building desire. Wrinkling his nose at the sudden scent of artificial strawberry the smaller knight groaned in disappointment as Gino temporarily released him from his mouth. "Please.."
Grinning, the other knight pressed a slick finger against the teen before working it inside. "Please?"
"Yes.." hissed Suzaku, half opening his eyes to stare at Gino with lust filled eyes. Taking a deep breath, the smaller knight relaxed at the intrusion, opening his legs wider.
Adding a second finger, the taller knight tried to keep his breathing even the boy looked so perfectly debauched. Leaning forward, he kissed Suzaku and released the teen's wrists. "Yes?" Smiling, Gino rubbed his own erection against Suzaku's while his fingers continued to stretch the smaller knight. "Want you to want this, like I do."
Blinking quickly the smaller teen squeaked in surprised as he found himself being flipped to straddle the blond knight's hips. Head spinning and wrists still tingling, Suzaku's brow furrowed slightly as he stared down at Gino. "I do want this." Licking his lips, Suzaku let the cheeks of his ass gently rub against the blond's sticky erection.
Groaning Gino half-closed his eyes placing one of his hands on the youth's hip to support him careful of the large bruise on his ribs and side. "Want to make love to you.. not just tonight.. not just because..."
"Yes..." Reaching into the sheets Suzaku retrieved the tube of lubricant and squeezed some out onto his fingers. Swallowing hard he twisted his waist ignoring the small twinge of pain in his ribs to start coating Gino with the gel.
"Yes, like that... Suzaku.."
Nodding in agreement the smaller knight took a deep breath before raising his hips and starting to press back onto Gino's cock willing his body to relax and let the larger knight enter him.
"Suzaku..."
Slowly the boy inched down panting loudly a trickle of sweat dripping down his back at the effort.
"Hope... hope am not hurting.."
"No.. just so.."
"..so.. tight.." Gritting his teeth, Gino forced himself not to thrust upwards, letting the teen set his own pace. "..love you.."
Nodding Suzaku gasped loudly as their hips came together breathing hard from the effort and the fullness in his body. Using Gino's belly for balance he gradually slid upwards before bringing their hips back together at an equally leisurely pace. "Oh.. Gino..."
"Mmmm.. Suzaku.." watching the teen move through half-slit eyes, Gino was unsure what was better, the sight of the boy impaling himself or the sensations from it. So hot and tight and slick and teasing. Licking his lips, Gino groaned and started stroking Suzaku's erection in pace with the boy's movements.
"Gino..."
Rewarded with some pre-come and a much desired increase in their rhythm, Gino grinned as he stroked the teen harder.
"..Gino..Please.."
"..Please?"
"...Harder.."
Digging his fingers into Suzaku's hip and his heels into the mattress, Gino groaned as he finally allowed himself to push into the teen. Angling his thrusts, he tried to concentrate on what made the boy moan the loudest hand move frantically over Suzaku's erection.
"..Gino...Oh.. Gino.." Body tensing, Suzaku stilled as he was overtaken by his release covering Gino's hand and belly with it.
"Yes... Suzaku.." Pounding a few more seconds into the shuddering teen, Gino came hard buried to the hilt. Smiing fondly, he lay limply down on the bed. "..love you so much.."
Closing his eyes, Suzaku gave the man still filling him a small genuine smile for a moment. "..thank you.." Grabbing at the sheet, the smaller knight started wiping off the sticky mess before Gino took it from his hands and finished the job when he noticed the teen yawning.
Shifting their positions slightly, Gino slipped from Suzaku's body and let the boy settle against him, gently snuggling the smaller knight and kissing his head. "I should be thanking you. See, being my boyfriend is not so bad."
Sighing contently, Suzaku yawned again and cuddled closer only half listening to the other man. "..no.. it's good."
"And remember, tomorrow you need to go to the hospital."
"Mmmm.."
"I love you, Suzaku."
"I.." mumbled Suzaku his sentence lost as he fell asleep.
Brushing the teen's bangs from his forehead, Gino stretched down to kiss his forehead. "I know. And someday, I know I will hear you say it."

Pressing the send button, Anya posted to her blog pleased with her latest effort. Reaching over she pet Arthur, thankful that the cat had settled down about an hour before and stopped mewling at the door to their hotel room. Switching to web browser mode, the petite knight went to her favorite message board. She had several messages waiting for her and without even needing to think she made her responses. Once finished she checked on a few of her threads and made more responses to the comments. Finished with old business, 'Mistress of the Round' started a new thread offering more casual pictures that could be ordered of the Knight of the Three, Gino Weinberg. As an example she shared one of Gino looking shocked from earlier that day when Suzaku had slapped him. Suppressing a small grin, she next offered a few candid pictures of the tall blond knight with Knight of the Seven, Suzaku Kururugi, promising those ordering they would find the pictures to their liking. A final note in her post shared that she had updated her fan-fiction with the latest chapter.
Yawning, Anya expected her inbox would soon be swamped. The fangirls had taken an interested in Suzaku since he had become a Knight of the Round and pairing him with Gino had only been natural. It didn't hurt that Anya knew that Gino was rather head over heels in love with the other knight in real life. It certainly made it easier for her to write about it. She only hoped he was successful for everyone's sake. Closing her phone she started it recharging. Now, all she would need to do is convince the tall blond he owed her a few cute pictures with Suzaku and her fame over the internet would be cemented. No one would ever forget 'Mistress of the Round' even if they never knew she was really Anya Alstreim
