Escape Route

Ayumu sighed, laying in bed with his lover, the blankets in a mess around them, sweat dampening his hair. How many positions had he taken him in now? He had lost count, and he hadn't seen or heard from Nobu in a few days. He was probably playing around with the new human, but he didn't care... He was okay with being with Yuri, even if he didn't like him at first. He smiled, wrapping an arm around his waist, nipping at the nape of his neck. "Are you sleeping?" He whispered.

"I'm not yet...but I'm getting there." Yuri sighed, nuzzling him tiredly, ignoring how his bloody limbs stuck to the sheet. He was rough as always, and exhausting...and as usual the question still hovered over him. Did he even love him?

Ayumu closed his eyes, testing his cheek on his shoulder, his thumb rubbing in circles over his lower back, where he knew he'd be hurting the next morning. "I want to get out of here with you." He muttered suddenly.

Yuri blinked owlishly. "Huh?" he asked in surprise. He lifted his head up as much as his body would allow, and looked at him. "B...But why?"

He sighed, looking over at him. "Because... Even though Nobu hasn't needed you lately, you can't really be mine alone until we do. I want to have a normal life... In a smaller house... Not having to feed a demon." He nuzzled him, holding him tightly. "Just you and me."

"...What's so special about me?" Yuri asked, looking at him curiously.

Ayu didn't answer, but tangled their limbs together. "What do you say, Yuri? Do you want to be with me?" He asked, looking down at him.

Yuri looked at him in slight annoyance. “ Why me?" He asked softly.

"Does there need to be a reason?" He asked, linking their fingers together. "I just want you because you. That's it. What more do you need?"

Yuri held his hand as tightly, looking at it.

"So will you do it?" He asked, tilting his head. "You can't honestly be content being here for the rest of our lives."

Yuri looked at him reluctantly before nodding nervously. " Okay I'll go." He caved.

Ayumu kissed his head. "Good... We'll wait a few more days to make sure he's distracted enough that he won't notice."

Yuri nodded, closing his eyes, nuzzling him tiredly. "Will you let me sleep now?" He asked tiredly.

"Yes... But I want you to shower with me tomorrow morning." He said with a grin, squeezing him tightly in a hug.

Yuri groaned softly in pain. "Ow," he whined, squirming slightly.

"Sorry." He kissed him gently, running his fingers through his hair. "Thank you, Yuri... I don't need anyone but you."

"Promise?" Yuri asked softly, looking up at him.

Ayumu nodded, nuzzling again. "Yes." He smiled, pulling the sheets over them, cuddling closer.

Yuri grinned closing his eyes.

A few days later, Yuri pulled on his backpck. “ Ready?" He asked.

Ayumu nodded, kissing him quickly. "Let's go." He said, taking his hand.

Yuri giggled happily, rushing off to the car with a grin.

Ayumu followed behind him, watching him with a smile. "You're so cute, Yuri-chan." He purred, kissing his cheek. "I can't wait until I have you by myself again."

Yuri blushed as they got in the car. "I'm not cute, why do you always make fun of me?" he asked.

Ayumu got on the driver's side, shaking his head as he laughed softly. "I'm not making fun of you. I'm telling the truth." He said softly, starting the car. "I tell you the truth. You really are cute."
