pairing: Commander!Suguru x Strategist!Satoru
synopsis: A scandal has broke down upon the kingdom of Velkaria. Satoru Gojo, the brilliant mind under whose guidance the king had expanded his kingdom, is now sentenced to death. The reason being that he was involved in an affair with the queen. Suguru geto, his nemesis, was the sole reason his crimes had came to light in the first place. On the day of execution however, Satoru disappears, along with a certain black haired man. Only they know what could have led to two self proclaimed enemies to join hands and escape together and how their actions done during the run could get them executed for the second time! But... you can't certainly die twice, right?
author's note: Heavily inspired by the art and a certain fic I have been secretly writing... maybe I will publish it one day... but who knows... the ending is left kinda unfinished cuz i MIGHT do part two.
In the kingdom of Velkaria, it was a tyrannical regime. The king is an old, scrawny and awful man. A Bloodthirsty and power hungry fiend. That is what Satoru regarded him as. A terrible man with too much power, who he actively played a role in giving more power to, who had trapped a helpless young girl in marriage with him.
How did he play the role in giving him more power you ask? That is because he was the kingdom’s war strategist. He was the glorious and brilliant mind that the despotic king adored.
That is, until he was ordered to be executed for having an affair with his wife. Could be considered a vindictive adultery, but if Satoru had to be honest, he did it out of pure lust (and perhaps pity).
Gojo Satoru, stands 6 '3 tall, his eyes as blue as the ice, and his skin roughened by all the years he spent on the battlefield. His background is unknown, since he is an orphan. How he came to the kingdom and managed to be his favourite, is also unknown.
He had claimed the title of a Nobel lord that was bestowed upon him by the king himself. That was, as reward for leading the kingdom to its third victory. Without any doubt, Satoru was the object of envy for many men in the court.
And so what envious men do when they can't be you, is gossiping about you. Satoru was regarded as a ‘ladies man’ in the literal sense. They made fun of how he never seeked out a wife behind his back. And grit their teeth whenever they overheard the courtwomen whisper and blush when Satoru passed by them.
All this envy was justified in its own sense, in a way. Satoru made it sure the courtmen knew he didn't appreciate their presence either. He was not only flawless in his job but he almost maintained this (deemed insufferable by those who are jealous of him) stoic demeanour about him that made it difficult to approach him as a friend. (translation: he was disagreeable).
No one could be deemed his equal. That is, with the exception of Suguru Geto. And perhaps the only man in the court that vexed Satoru enough for him to resent him.
Suguru Geto, stands 6 '2, his eyes a deepest shade of purple which appeared almost as if they were brown and his skin was tan. He had an unusual fashion. His ears and lips were pierced, and his hair fell down beyond his shoulders, which certainly helped him stand out among other men. A striking feature against his masculine knight body. He too, was the favourite of the king. After all, he led the army that deemed him victorious.
“The sword that you wield" is what the queen had regarded Suguru to Satoru. In one of the many long nights she shared with him, they would converse till they both drifted off to sleep. One such many conversation went:
“I find it odd how you and Commander Suguru, despite being the same age, are not friends" she said, her head propped on the palm of her right hand, of which the elbow rested on the bed.
Satoru, who was laying on the bed beside her with his eyes closed, had shot them open. Angry lines appeared on his forehead at the thought of even regarding Suguru as an acquaintance.
“I don't find it necessary to be friends with him" he replied, dislikement evident in his voice.
The queen giggled. “How strange! He is the commander who executes your strategies! You both should be working together"
Satoru scowled at the sentence. "Work together? The only reason we are polite to each other is out of professionalism."
The queen pouted, lost in deep thought for a moment. “In a way, he is the sword that you wield,” she said.
Satoru chuckled. “The sword I wield, you say?" he asked, as he wrapped his arms around her waist. “Then tell me dear, how is that so?" He buried his face in her neck, placing soft kisses.
A whimper escaped the queen’s mouth. "Mhmm… toru… I meant to say- that is because you…are the genius mind and he.. he is brute strength"
Gojo jerked his head off the base of her neck. “He is not stronger than I," he said.
“I didn't mean it like that, Satoru," the queen responded, wrapping her arms around Satoru. “You are intelligent, and you foresee the events of war and dictate it to unfold it your way. Suguru however, leads armies and commands them with the same orders you gave him. Thus, The sword that you wield" she explained.
This had seemed to send Satoru to thought. What she had said made perfect sense. However, to think of the same man that questions his every suggestion, openly points out his shortcomings and teases him every occasion as his right hand man, didn't sit right with him.
He buried his face in her neck again. "I don't want to hear more about that bastard when I am already spending a lovely time with my lady,” he said.
And so the time drifted off as yet another night spent in secrecy. And Satoru’s dislike of Suguru, funny enough, proved justified to him later.
He was the reason Satoru was sentenced to be hanged.
Satoru’s arms were tied to a bar on either side of him. His eyes were covered with a long white strip of fabric, which, if you try to unravel, would seem to go on and on.
He had been in these dark chambers for a week now, awaiting his execution. His previously white shirt is now tattered with dirt and ragged with holes in it. Bruises covered his wrists and face.
He was severely dehydrated and his throat was hoarse. He was to spend a torturous week in these underground cells for seven days, barely given food or water, to be beaten up till the unfortunate day of his death finally came.
Red lines had formed on his wrist from the chains, his skin breaking and bleeding from the constant friction. The only source of life for Satoru in that cell was the ray of light that entered from far above, which kissed his skin in the warmest adoration.
He knew a day would come when he would be caught for his crimes. He had already been awaiting a painful death the moment he stepped into the queen’s chambers and drifted off to sleep on her bed.
The torment was less inferior than that of his imaginations. The beatings, which only came once a day, lasted for a couple of minutes before commander Suguru ordered his men to leave him alone. He was fed food once a day, which felt like an act of kindness, and if he remembered it correctly, the king had ordered for him to be strictly starved.
Suguru Geto was indeed the man in charge for his execution and also the reason he was in here in the first place.
On a fine Sunday evening, Satoru had his plans to sneak his way in the queen’s chambers as usual, and escape from there as early as he could. Which he did.
On his way back to his own chambers, he remembered passing Geto Suguru in the hallways. Which he didn't think of much, since it isn't really a crime to roam around the castle when you already reside there.
Something he should have thought of much, unfortunately. The very same day he was dragged to those dark underground cells and to never live his life again.
Suguru Geto, the obnoxiously beautiful man. The unfairly strong man who commanded armies on the battleground. The man who teased Gojo every chance he got. The man who everyone deemed his equal, now had put Satoru’s adultery to light. Now he can be the only one who the king favoured in the court.
Satoru didn't have a particular reason to despise Suguru, except the one at hand. His sole reason for disliking him in the first place has always been a petty reason. So what Satoru was brilliant? Suguru had the strength to command armies. It was not his performance alone, but combined with that of Suguru’s that brought victory to Velkaria.
Now his last moments approached, he couldn't bring himself to despise Suguru for what he had done. Had Satoru not wanted it himself? To somehow get rid of this very man who walked on the same high pavement as him? To be the only man accessing full power over the greatest military in the continent? What difference did it make between him and the king then?
And what difference did it make if he was the same as the king now? It was too late.
The sound of the gates to his cell opening jerks Satoru off his thoughts. He hears footsteps approach him, three, to be exact. Two stop on either side of him and the third one, from what he could judge, must be standing in front of him.
“Let me take care of him" he hears Suguru’s voice. Satoru lets out a chuckle. "Suguru” he calls out his name. "Satoru” Geto purrs.
The sound of two footsteps growing distant is heard, indicating the other two men left the cell.
"What will happen to the queen?” Gojo asks.
Geto scoffs, “That is the king’s business" he replies. Satoru sighs. Poor girl, he thinks to himself. "She is closer in age with us than the king,” He says.
"Look after her, can you? She has nothing to do in this”
"Oh Satoru, if I hadn't seen you make meticulous plans on how to take lives, I would have thought you finally developed the ability to value human life. What is it? You wanted to make her your wife?”
“She is innocent and trapped in this castle. She just needed a companion"
Satoru grits his teeth. “Forget it. Get it done with, will you?" he says. He hears Suguru hum and he walks to his right side.
“I will take off your shackles, now promise me you won't attempt to take my life." Suguru jokes.
“I should have, a long time ago. It's too late for me now to have an attempt at it. Nevertheless, what could a blindfolded and beaten down man do to you anyway?” Gojo responds, a humorous hint to his voice.
“Very well" Gojo can hear Geto smiling through his voice.
He hears the footsteps now from behind him. Geto grabs the blindfold, and starts to unravel it. “What are you doing?" Gojo asks, confused.
“Letting my face be the last one you see before you perish" Geto responds.
The white blindfold falls on the ground in front of Satoru, who is struggling to get used to the light after being in the dark for so long.
From behind him, he hears the sounds of Suguru unlocking his shackles, one by one. Satoru almost trips, now that the shackles weren't holding him straight anymore. When he turns back to face Suguru, his vision is still blurry.
He can still feel the sly grin on his face, though. “You never go soft on the kingdom’s enemies" Gojo mutters as he dashed for Suguru's throat. His vision, slowly returning, made it easy for him to see the grin on Suguru’s face get wider.
Why the fuck are you smiling? He wanted to ask. Are you not scared? He wanted to scream at him. Scared I am not taking you to hell with me? So they will hang me! What if I take your life before they take mine??
His grip on Suguru lightens, as he finds his vision getting blurry again. "Satoru.” he hears his name being called in a hoarse voice.
"What have you done?” Satoru spats. He takes a few steps back and falls on his knees. The sharp pain from the contact of his knees on the ground makes black spots appear in his vision.
"What have you done?” Satoru screams. Suguru takes cautious steps towards him and kneels to his eye level.
"Sleep now, Satoru” with that, he closes Satoru’s eyelids.
Suguru watched the white haired boy squirm in front of him, as he is tied to the pillar that stands tall in the chambers.
Satoru, slowly gaining his consciousness, struggles to move, but finds his hands restrained. His vision is black. Though this time, it is because of the soft thin fabric wrapped around his skull.
Satoru struggles hard against his shackles. “It's you!" he exclaims. “It's me indeed," Suguru says, a sly grin plastered on his face.
“Where am I? Why am I not dead yet?" Satoru asks, still struggling.
“Far away from Velkaria. We currently reside in a tower hidden in the forest. I do not doubt the king’s abilities. If my guess is right, they may find us today or the day after. We have to move quick”
"Satoru, I saved your life. And now we are both to be hanged.”
"You ask too many questions”
"Why did you save my life?”
"You are too curious, Satoru.”
Satoru almost groaned in frustration. "You yourself said we had to escape quickly”
“Who knows if you won't try to choke me again?"
“You are not being reasonable right now"
“And you are gullible. I exposed you to the king, and now I told you I saved your life. How were you the mastermind of Velkaria all this time?"
Satoru wanted to scream. “What do you want?" he asked, his voice tired.
Suguru took a few strides towards him. “Do you want me to save you, Satoru?" he asked, his under finger grazing Satoru’s chin.
"Take off my blind folds”
"I asked you something. And it is not coming off”
“I had asked you something earlier too, Suguru. What do you want?"
“You want my confession, Satoru?” Suguru inched closer to him, the sides of his face grazing Satoru’s. "Yes,” Satoru whispered.
"Very well” Suguru walked back, leaving a warm feeling on Satoru right where their skins touched.
"I adore this sight of you, Satoru. To see you so helpless and stripped off every power you dictate. Ever since I saw you in the court, I had grown this unexplainable distaste. I was the commander. Was I not enough to plan the strategies? I had led the kingdom to victories before. Was I not worthy anymore? But you truly were something. Someone who was far more superior in the line of war intellect. You were an exemplary tactician. And I wanted to be you, Satoru. But it seemed you had the same distaste towards me as did I. The only difference between us was that I wanted to get closer to you. You didn't.”
"Then why did you expose me?”
"Pettiness, Toru” Suguru replies, earning a sneer from the white haired boy at the nickname.
“For a moment, I just wanted to see you fall. And oh dear, what were you thinking? To sleep with the queen! you couldn't have been in the best state of mind! How you spent nights hiding in the warmth of her embrace! How are you, who never made an effort to get acquainted with any man in the court, to seduce a married woman! Perhaps approaching you as your lover would have been easier for me to get close to you than as a friend!”
"What are you talking about? Have you lost your mind?”
“I was to be hanged and freed from this wretched kingdom. And now I am stuck alone with the biggest maniac of the said kingdom! Great!”
"Oh, Satoru, you are not so open minded, are you?”
"A man with another man? They publicly execute you for such sins”
Suguru chuckled. "Where I am from, there are plenty of men on men" he replied.
Satoru sighed. “Here I thought you were of Nobel birth" he said.
“It’s the noble men who hire young male prostitutes, lord Satoru. Within enclosed walls, it is not such a sin as you deem it to be."
"It certainly couldn't be pleasurable”
"It is no different than with a woman. You want me to show you?”
Satoru gulped. “Suguru," he said. "Satoru,” Geto purred. He took strides towards him and soon enough, he was standing right in front of Gojo. “Safe word is scarlet. Say that if you want me to stop" Suguru tells him before he kneels in front of them.
His fingers dig in his waistband, looking up at the blindfolded man. Sweat droplets had formed on Satoru’s forehead, his bottom lip pressed under his teeth. “Just what do you think you are doing?" he asked. “Exactly what you think I am" Geto responded.
Geto carefully unbuckled his belt and undid his pants. His hands stopped at his undergarments, waiting for Satoru to say the word. Instead, Satoru’s chest heaved up and down, his breathing loud.
Suguru palmed Satoru’s bulge through his undergarments. "You are aroused,” Suguru observed, as he dragged the bands of his undergarments down, Satoru’s hard member springing out. Gojo sharply exhaled.
Suguru wrapped his hand firmly on his length, putting slight pressure in his grip. He gets up, the sides of his palm touching Satoru's chin.
"Spit.” he commands. Satoru does as he is told. He spits on Suguru’s hand. "Good boy” Suguru praises, mocking evident in his voice. Satoru scoffs, but it's soon turned into an expression of pleasure as Suguru uses his spit as a lube to stroke his cock.
Satoru’s mouth forms an ‘O’ as he lets a small moan escape, his cock twitching in Suguru’s grip. Pre cum oozes out of his perfect pink tip. Suguru licks his lips at the sight. “How eager” he comments. Suguru gets on his knees again and this time, he takes Satoru’s length in his mouth.
He pushes his entire member down his throat as he bobs his head up and down, making sloppy noises. Satoru groans as he pushes his hips into Suguru’s mouth. “Fuck” he curses under his breath. Seeing the white haired boy’s reaction, Suguru decides to take things further by palming Satoru’s balls. Satoru moans in pleasure. Unable to control himself, he starts thrusting in Geto’s mouth. Satoru’s cock is coated with Suguru’s saliva as things get massier, his juices drip from the corner of Suguru’s mouth.
Suguru pulls out his mouth, almost punishingly so. “You make a mess” he says, wiping his lips with the back of his hand. “Please..” Satoru begs, growing needier by the second. Suguru scoffs. “Look at you-” Suguru says, his fingertips trailing down Satoru’s abdomen, “-had a preference for women all your life, and now look, how needy you have grown for a man” he says, his hand wrapped back around Satoru’s cock.
“Please..” Satoru begs again, his voice whiny. “Please what, sweet heart?” Suguru asks, a cocky grin on his face. “Please…make me come” Satoru says, shame evident in his voice. Suguru smiled as he looked up at Satoru’s eyes. “Ask and you shall receive” and with that, his mouth was back on Satoru’s cock.
The chamber filled with the loud noises coming from Satoru’s mouth. Suguru had never expected a man of Satoru’s demeanour, to be so loud when he feels pleasure. It made him regret not making a move on him sooner. How perfect it could have been, to have him and Satoru be the ones sneaking away to spend sordid nights together instead of that blonde giggly girl that was the queen. Suguru never liked her. Even though she has never even spoken to him. If Suguru was being honest, he never considered the queen’s presence worthy enough of his judgement. Perhaps that distaste towards her grew when he found out about her illicit time spent with Satoru.
Satoru’s body shakes as his moans get louder. “Fuck it… I am about to- oh fuck” he groaned curses as his body edged closer and closer to release. Suguru wanted to look into Satoru’s eyes as he came undone. Unfortunate to his own decisions, since Satoru was blindfolded. So he looked at his face instead. The way his lips stretched every time he moaned, and the way red hues kissed his cheeks, his face flushed. He tightened his lips around his member. “AH!’ Satoru exclaimed, his eyes wide as his semen released into Suguru’s mouth.
Suguru swallowed every drop of his semen and licked his lips. Satoru, upon realising what Suguru did, felt the heat rise up to the tip of his ears. His chest heaved up and down, still riding the high of his release. “Releasing into another man's mouth ought to get you hanged in the public square,” Suguru remarked. “You started it,” Satoru said.
Suguru got back on his feet, his eyes not leaving Satoru’s face. “What I have planned for you next, requires you without the blindfolds and the shackles” he said. What he meant was that he wanted to look into Satoru’s eyes as he took him. Satoru nodded. Suguru walked at the back of the pillar Satoru was tied in and undid the knot of the rope tying his hands. Satoru’s hands reached for the blindfold over his eyes and he unraveled the cloth.
“On the bed.” Suguru commanded. Satoru, unsure of what was gonna happen, sat on the edge of the bed. He looked confusingly at Suguru, who had a devilish grin on his face. “You look a mess, but a beautiful one” Suguru complimented him. Satoru pressed his lips together in a shy smile. How Suguru wished he could stop time and watch that shy smile forever. For a moment, he almost felt guilt seeping through, for he was to ruin Satoru in every way he could now.
Suguru walked to the edge of the bed, where Satoru was sitting. He undid his belt and slid it down his hips, his hard length springing out. He gripped his cock in hand and dipped one knee onto the bed. “Lay down,” he commanded. Satoru, upon realising what was about to happen now, started panicking internally. “W-w-wait!” he stuttered. Suguru bobbed his head to the side, confused. “Will you….?” Gojo asked, unable to form the words.
Suguru chuckled. “Yes I will,” he admitted as he put his dick in Gojo’s entrance, yet to go in. Satoru’s eyes widened. “Scarlet! Scarlet!” he said panickingly. The grin on Suguru’s face shifted to that of a frown. “Coward,” he muttered. He got off the bed and picked his pants up. “Get dressed,” he told Satoru. “We must get going now”
Satoru nodded, his face red. He picked his own pants up and got dressed. “Where will we go now?” he asked. “On the run,” Suguru replied vaguely.
“I want you to be clearer, Suguru”
“I am, now get your stuff together before they find us both and kill us”
Satoru sighed. “Why did you do it?” he asked.
Suguru shook his head. “No time for that. Pack up” he said.
“We didn’t even kiss,” Satoru muttered.
“Nothing,” Satoru replied, wiping every thought off his head that suggested to him that perhaps Suguru could be his lover one day
