The Fox and the Raven

A Life Begins

Akimi woke up with a familiar set of arms wrapped around his waist tightly. He smiled lightly to himself, squeezing the raven's hands a bit and kissing them. Although he knew Toshio wouldn't feel it, it made the fox happy.

"Mmh-" Toshio made a soft noise against the back of Akimi's neck, pressing his head in closer and tightening his grip.

"...k-itsu-ne..." Toshio said in a sweet gentle voice in his sleep.

Akimi almost overdosed on cuteness. 'AHHHH OMG HES SO ADORABLE!!!'

"Im here, my karasu." Akimi said quietly, kissing Toshio's wrist where he thought he could feel it this time since thats where is scaring stopped.

'...kitsune...Kitsune...W-here are you? Akimi? AKIMI?!'

"Akimi!?" Toshio's eyes opened quickly in a panic.

"Shhh- Shhhh- i'm right here, Toshio-" Akimi said, squeezing the raven's arms and rubbing them.

Toshio flipped Akimi on his back placing one hand on the mattress beside the fox's head and the other under his neck.

'He is just starring at me? He looks so serious. Wtf-' Akimi blushed heavily, staring back into the bright blue orbs above him.

Akimi placed a hand on Toshio's cheek with a questioning look.

"Were you dreaming?" Akimi asked.

"I just need to see you. I didn't want to wake up without you."  The raven replied.

"You will never wake up without me ever again. Don't worry."

Toshio continued to stare.

"Stop doing that-"

"What?"

"L-looking at me like that..."

"No." Toshio said with a stone expression.

Akimi's eyes widened.

"Is it such a crime for me to want to stare at you for a moment?" Toshio said.

"Why would you want to?" Akimi asked embarrassed.

"Because you are beautiful. And I just so happened to be in love with you. Deal with it Kitsune~"

Akimi rolled his eyes.

"BOSS!" A voice sounded at the bedroom door.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT-"

"You have been in this room for three days...you have work to do."

Akimi suddenly appeared in front of the door, sliding it open with force and standing within inches of the man's face.

"Who are you to tell me how to spend my time?" Akimi asked, placing a hand on his hip and narrowing his eyes.

"Please...enlighten me..." He asked again when not responded to.

"I-I just dont think you are being very respons-"

The man's throat was cut with a black blade, preventing him from finishing his sentence.

Akimi threw the knife into the floor next to the corpse.

"I AM SICK AND TIRED OF BEING ORDERED AROUND LIKE A DOG. YOU...ARE MY DOG. YOU OBEY ME."

Akimi suddenly had eyes filled with rage. His patience was now extinguished. He was done. He walking back into the room calmly, swaying his hips with half lidded crimson eyes.

"I believe it is time for blood to be spilled." He said in a monotone growl.

Toshio sat on the end of the bed with his legs crossed, hands behind him on the mattress.
