Tough Love

Chapter 10

Ginji and Akabane's Room

Akabane woke to the sound of the shower running in the bathroom. He turned around from his position on the floor and noticed that Ginji wasn't in bed anymore. As he sat up and stretched his arms, Akabane sighed softly remembering the little fight they had yesterday.

Flashback

"Akabane...."

"Yea G-Ginji?"

"You are sleeping on the floor tonight no sex for a week do I make myself clear."

"WHAT! But Ginji I said I was sorry for breaking up Ban and Shido what do I need to do to make you forgive me."

Ginji just shook his head.

"That's not the reason."

"Then what is?"

"Its for not stopping when I told you to and embarrassing me in front of Jubbei and Kazuki."

End Flashback

With one more sigh Akabane turned his attention to the bathroom. After a few more minutes Ginji came out in a towel that was tightly wrapped around his waist. Akabane couldn't help staring at the well-built chest and smooth skin of his lover. Feeling eyes on him Ginji turned to face his lover.

"Akabane...is there a reason you are staring at me like a starving wolf."

Akabane snapped out of his daze and answered the young man in front of him.

"No...no reason its just that you look really sexy with that towel on I just couldn't resist staring is all."

"Hn well as flattering as that is you STILL aren't getting any for a week understand."

Akabane's smile that was on his face, disappeared suddenly and was replaced with a pout. Ginji smirked at his lover as he turned away and headed into his walk in closet looking for a set of cloths to wear for the day. Akabane watched his lover get his cloths together. He then decided to just say what was on his mind so he wouldn't have to say it later.

"Uh...Ginji."

Ginji stopped what he was doing in the closet and stuck his head out and looked at the man still on the floor.

"Yea Akabane-kun what is it?"

Akabane smiled softly at the "kun" Ginji added at the end of his name, which meant he was somewhat forgiven but not fully.

"I-I know you are upset with what I did in front of your friends but I want you to know that I am 100% sorry about that."

Ginji stared at his lover for a few minutes, then he put the cloths he was holding down on the nightstand, and walked over and sat down next to Akabane.

"Oh Akabane I know you are sorry about that I just want you to have a punishment for what you did so you know in the future stuff like that will not happen again."

Akabane smiled once more and pulled Ginji into a tight embrace never wanting to let him go.

"Really Ginji do you really mean that?"

Ginji nodded.

"Does this mean you forgive me then and that I can come back in bed tonight?"

"Not fully but just a little ok I am still enforcing your punishment so there is still no sex for a week got it. Oh and yes you are aloud back in the bed."

Jackal was a little upset about the no sex thing for a week but just knowing and hearing that Ginji forgives him just a little, makes the whole punishment for a week sound not as bad as he thought it was.
