For Sensei
Prompt: Forever
Pairing: Tohma/Eiri
Fandom: Gravitation
Word count: 436
Tohma listened to the sound of water running in the bathroom and sighed. He felt a lot older than his twenty five years, the guilt he felt over the sixteen year old’s ordeal overwhelming his calm. Sitting down on one the hotel room’s beds he went over the events again and again in his head. He still couldn’t figure out how he had managed to calmly take charge, get Eiri properly seen to, sweet talk the police into hushing it up even though several crimes had been committed, not to mention avoiding arrest for Eiri, and lastly, avoiding deportation back to Japan as dangerous individuals or worse.
He rubbed his temples tiredly, chasing the headache that blossomed behind his eyes away. What he really wanted, besides the power to go back and change history, was a stiff drink. He wanted to get as drunk as his friend Kitazawa had been so he could forget the whole ugly incident even as he cringed at the thought. Rubbing his hands over his face, Tohma sighed in frustration. Had he know Kitazawa was capable of such unspeakable behavior he never would have encouraged them to spend so much time together.
Awakened from his reverie when the running water stopped, Tohma quickly pulled himself together. He looked up, smiling sadly at Eiri when he emerged from the bathroom. The six teen year old looked around nervously, running a hand through his wet hair. He had been in the shower for over an hour and judging by the look on his face, Tohma had the feeling there was not enough water on the planet to wash him clean.
“Do you want to go to sleep?”
Eiri shrugged, his lower lip trembling as his eyes welled up with tears. Several tense minutes passed, before his face crumbled in sorrow, his ragged sob cutting Tohma like a knife. The twenty five year was at his side in an instant, wrapping the younger boy in his arms as he cried his heart out.
“Ssh… It’s okay, Eiri… I’m here …” he said softly. “I promise I won’t let anything bad happen to you again,” Tohma murmured, his words sounding hollow in his ears even though he meant them.
Eiri must have heard his intent, for he relaxed and his sobbing soon gave way to hiccups.
Tohma sighed in relief as he led him to the bed, tucking him like a small child. Dimming the lights, the twenty five year old gave him one last look before going to shower. I swear by all that I hold dear, Eiri, I will keep you safe… forever…

Date: 2009-06-10 03:54 am (UTC)And this is for a fic Talon and I are co-writing. Well, she has written most and I have joined in. Modern-day Japan, Sesshoumaru with his mute brother (loses his voice after his mother dies and comes to live with Ani) and his whore houshi Miroku. And for whoreMir's birthday, he "buys" him his favorite hooker for the night, "Jack." High-class, very expensive, and they fuck in his limo ... (That's one chapter of it anyhow...we have talked it through but not written it yet...)
Meanwhile, Talon also suggests that if you describe a fic you'd like us to co-write for you in exchange for the art (and I can easily get you the Pern book or IY too), we'd happily do a BanJak or whatever you might like from us. :)
\o/
(Now I go sleepy. Long week of final rehearsals - show goes up Friday!!!)

Date: 2009-06-10 06:10 pm (UTC)I want the link to this ficcage!! ;D It sounds awesome!!
So let me know how you want Jak dressed, similar to the ref pic or what? I knwo we mentioned a kimono, but that's like almost too much clothes. ^^; But if he's high class, then he'd probably be dressed somewhat normally, so he wouldn't stand out. If he's walking the streets, then advertizing his wares is one thing, but he sounds like this is more word of mouth, special favor for a special client. ;p Think geisha & how exculsive they are. So let me know EXACTLY how he's to be dressed Then I can whip up a quick sketch. The more specific you guys are, even if you give me the passage where he shows, the better, so I can draw what you're envisioning rather than what I'm seeing in my head.
(Break a leg as they say! ;p) *hopes you slept well*

Date: 2009-06-10 08:50 pm (UTC)Meanwhile, yeah, I really like that kinda sexy modern-day pseudo-kimono and the tough/sexy look. No sword, could show a dick bulge if you don't want to expose him outright, and then tinker with whatever else you like. Whatever you do, trust me, we'll love it.
