Love, War, & Beetles

Chapter Five - Raw *SMUT*

Gorou's POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Warm. Cozy. No nightmares or anything. What's that?

     "Ow, hey, I know you're awake now - claws!" Oh. Right. It's you. I snuggled closer, pulling my hands to my chest and smiling a little inside when he wrapped his arms around me. "Someone knocked a minute ago. Figured I'd cause issues."

     "Why?"

     "I'm covered in scratches and shirtless. Wouldn't want them to assume things, hm?~"

     "S-Shut up!"

     "Ima go make some food. Whatcha want?"

     "...I'm good with anything."

     "Steak and roasted lavender melon it is!" Watching his red back leave was so... domestic somehow. I just stumbled my way down the hall, grateful that he hadn't undressed me the way he had done to himself when I opened the door to find a pair of my subordinates.

     "Can I help you?"

     "Her Excellency said to make sure you're resting."

     "So you knocked and woke him up?" I barely stopped myself from flinching as Itto spoke behind me.

     "...General Gorou, why is there a naked oni in your cabin?"

     "I'm not naked." I risked a glance back, only to find his pecs in my face.

     "No you aren't, but your stupid shirt is barely a shirt!"

     "Not my fault you guys are so unfashionable. I'm making tea."

     "...Fine. Just go."

     "Yeah, yeah, whatever." The second he turned around, the guys in front of me snickered. "What?"

     "Nevermind, we know why he's here now~"

     "H-Hey, wait, no! It's not what you think! He just helps me focus!"

     "Sure, sure~"

     "Ah, no, not like that! I just - he smells good and it makes me forget stupid stuff! Go away assholes!"

     "Ooo~ Boss is a bottom~"

     "What does that mean?!"

     "It's wrong anyway - come eat cause I'm starving."

     "Stop sneaking up on me! I keep getting distracted!"

     "...No way."

     "...Gorou, go drink some water. You haven't had any today."

     "But -"

     "Go."

     "Fuck off! You're not my boss - Don't you dare!" He picked me up anyway, shut the door, and carried me back to my living area. A small kitchenette, a messy couch in front of a fireplace, and a bookshelf of random trinkets and books from all over Inazuma. "Itto! I had it handled!"

     "Regardless, I'm starving and you were gonna sit there arguing forever."

     "...You're a dick."

     "Yeah." He pulled me into his lap on the couch. I just gave in, hiding my face in his chest once I finished about half of my plate. "Hm... This tastes kinda weird. Try a bit." I just opened my mouth and accepted the piece of steak.
