The black ink flowed from the brush and onto the soft and pale skin of his back like liquid silk. Words he couldn’t bring himself to say aloud made themselves visible and real on the back of the man he loved. Placing the brush gently to the side, he reached his hand up to comb delicately through the blonde strands of hair that were shining softly in the dimmed light of his room.
“Kio?” Soubi questioned, when he no longer felt the touch of the bristles.
“Why did you agree to this, Sou-chan? I know that you don’t… have any feelings like this for me?”
Turning his head back to look over his shoulder at Kio, Soubi responded in a quiet voice.
“You are my friend, Kio. I made a promise to you, to do it, if only this one time. As for feelings… it wouldn’t matter whether I had them or not. I belong only to Ritsuka.”
Kio’s eyes narrowed and he growled slightly, pulling Soubi’s face close to his forcefully.
“I thought you promised not to talk about him tonight.”
Soubi bowed his head slightly and closed his eyes.
“Gomen.”
The soft shine of the lights in the room cast a pale orange glow along the planes of Soubi’s face and Kio leaned in slowly to brush his lips against Soubi’s tenderly. Closing his eyes, he sunk into the pleasant warmth, and when he opened them again he found Soubi staring back into his own deeply. A hand reached out to gently caress his cheek and soon Soubi was lying on his back looking up at Kio and pulling him down toward the mattress.

In the aftermath, Kio traced his index finger lazily over the graceful lines lying on Soubi’s now sweat soaked back. It was beginning to fade away and somehow that made Kio feel a little sad.
“What was it you wrote anyway, Kio?” Soubi asked, tiredly, as he buried his face into the softness of a pillow.
“It was nothing, Sou-chan. Don’t worry about.”
When Soubi didn’t push the matter any further, Kio leaned forward to lie on top of his back, and whispered into it.
“Aishiteru.”
Fenris here.
Soubi/Kio ficlet! I really wanted to write some Soubi/Kio as it is such an underappreciated pairing and I knew I needed to do something that involved paint or ink since they're buth art students. I planned to get a bit smuttier than I did, but I decided that I liked the sweetness of the fic that came with just implying the smut rather than describing it as it occured. Diesel will probably upload her accompanying pic of these two soon.
