In Another World

Touch

Angel and Aki awoke simultaneously with a gasp. The apartment was slightly darker than before, but the same program was playing, so they couldn't have been out for more than thirty minutes. Angel pulled away and looked at Aki with wide eyes, who seemed to be regarding him in the same fashion. Both of them were thinking the same thing, but neither of them wanted to be the one to ask. Finally, Angel swallowed, ready to ask.

"Did you have a dream about us going to purgatory?" he asked hesitantly.

"Yeah. With a lady called The Middle Woman, right?" Aki whispered.

"Oh my god. Have you been dreaming of a life where I'm–" Angel began.

"An Angel Devil and I'm a devil hunter?" he confirmed.

"Fuck," Angel whispered. "That's... that's insane. Then that had to be our past life, right? That's why we were so drawn to each other. That must be part of why I like touching you so much. Because in that world, we couldn't touch or be happy together in any sense of the word."

Aki nodded slowly. "I don't, er, didn't believe in past lives but both of us having the same dreams like that, completely independent of each other... I don't know how to explain that."

Angel, who was now sitting up on Aki's lap to properly face him let out a deep sigh. "So... what now?"

"I mean, there was something that the other me thought about quite a bit when it came to touching you," Aki admitted. "Something he always wanted to do, but couldn't either buck up the courage to admit it to you or couldn't quite figure out the logistics of."

"What is it?" Angel asked, looking curiously at his boyfriend.

"Fucking your brains out," Aki replied easily.

"Excuse you?!" Angel cried, his face easily burning.

"Angel, the me of that world was dying to touch you in every way possible. He wanted you in every way possible, from kisses to holding hands to sex. I feel like the only way I can honor that version of me is to not waste any more time," Aki said.

Angel's face was burning, but he could feel himself hardening up a little just from the discussion. "Well... do you even have condoms?"

"Yes, I bought some the day after we started dating," Aki replied.

"And... you're sure you... you want me?" Angel asked, his words even more hesitant than the ones prior.

Aki stared at him. "Angel, I've been holding back for you."

Angel took a deep breath. Did he want this? Was he ready to have sex? They had all the time in the world if that dream was to be believed. But at the same time, he could still feel the lingering desire that the other Angel had felt. The desperate need to touch, but the inability to do so. It was almost screaming at him, like he was worried that if he didn't do it now, then he would lose out on the chance.

"Let's go to the bedroom," Angel finally said.

Aki grabbed the remote and turned off the television. Just as Angel was about to get off his boyfriend's lap, Aki stood up, holding onto Angel's hips and thighs to keep him upright. Angel wanted to complain, but fuck it, his hands were kneading into him so nicely. So, instead, he laid his cheek up against Aki's chest. His heart was pounding surprisingly loudly, which Angel felt a little bit smug about. He wasn't very good at making Aki blush, but he did have some sort of effect on him, at least.

Aki brought Angel into his room before he let him down on the bed. Angel slid backward to make more room for Aki and he quickly entered that space. Aki climbed on top of Angel, his eyes filled with a hunger that Angel had never seen in Aki before. It made him feel a bit nervous, honestly, but he said yes, and he meant it. He wanted to get fucked by his boyfriend so goddamn bad.
