The gentle brush of his cold hand only sent shivers down Shirogane’s spine. He just noticed that Yukisada was so close... he swallowed nervously. He really didn’t expect him to do this in the first place, but being this intimate... He didn’t even dream it. Well, that was false -- he dreamed about it a lot, but that was beside the point.
“ Ah-- ”
A surprised noise, though not an unpleasant one, leaves his lips as he pressed against him, only to be gently, barely kissed.... That wasn’t enough. Hungrily, the hand nestled in his hair brought Yukisada closer, kissing him feverishly, quickly -- god, he hoped that wasn’t too much... But, Yukisada didn’t seem to mind. He really, really hoped he didn’t...
.... But he did say it would be alright. It would be alright. Shirogane repeated the words in his head a few times, adjusting himself to the situation, accepting that Yukisada was, indeed, okay with this, and --
His thoughts were interrupted by a loud moan, which he reacted to by covering his mouth. Shirogane didn’t think he was that sensitive... Yukisada only touched him, ever-so-slightly, and his body already felt as if it were buzzing. Just to make matters worse, Yukisada looked... gorgeous. Even the slightest sounds he made were beautiful. God, and the way he bit his lip --
-- Shirogane wasn’t expecting him to already play with his clit, and he definitely wasn’t anticipating the second moan out of his lips, drawling, but muffled by his hand. He... he thought Yuki would like it better if he didn’t do that, and with that thought in mind, he brought his hand to move his bangs out of his face -- they were already getting sticky with sweat. He swallowed again, hummed, thought of the words to say to the owl...
He was a quiet one, and Fumus couldn’t tell if he was doing it to spite him or not. Some of his captives had a tendency to play that game, not that it mattered. They all eventually spoke in one way or another, even if he had to command the sounds from them.
The little wolf could play despondant all he liked…for now.
The little creature just forlornly sat there, avoiding him at all costs. It was as if Fumus had some kind of infectuous disease and Shirogane didn’t want to catch it. How ungrateful. The god even made sure to give him such a comfortable spot beside of his majesty instead of locking him in that steel cage he had.
The god’s mouth twisted into a smile of ill-intention.
“Heh, cut that you think crying is gonna get you our this. Don’t tell me this tactic got you through life. You’re a predator…aren’t you?”
“ I-- ”
He stammered, nodding before quietly, slowly, looking up to meet his gaze... Baby steps, he thought to himself...
“ I... Yes, I am... er... I left my wolf pack a long time ago, though... Um... I’ve been living life sort of... Not... wolf-like.... ”
He hoped he didn’t sound... too stupid. It probably sounded ridiculous. No, it did sound ridiculous. He knew that. He knew he was a stupid, pitiful wolf that wasn’t actually a wolf at all.
Fuck, he spent his entire life thinking that and knowing that, from repetitive insult after insult --
.... He supposed even that didn’t matter anymore. Really, the only words that mattered were his god’s, and only his god’s.
“ ... But, I’m still... useful. I can hunt... really well... erm... yeah. ’
… Okay, Shirogane planned this out. He wasn’t supposed to be so nervous about all of this. He thought about it time and time again, and it wasn’t the first kiss the wolf had given to the owl…
…. He was sure he was going to be disappointing in this whole first kiss thing, probably. Besides, Yukisada was in the middle of something, humming in the kitchen as Mafuyu made those little baby seal noises, excited to use her little party popper, but sleepy all the same. Rocma was still nibbling on the food Yukisada had made earlier, telling her little one to settle down… It was really a peaceful scene, right before the excitement of the New Year arriving.
And yet, Shirogane’s stupid gut told him to come next to the owl, and he obeyed, as his mind was on autopilot. He thanked his anxiety for absolutely nothing.
Without even realizing it, the other party participants were counting down to the new year. Well. Okay.
3…2…. and, 1. That was it. Clapping ensued from the owl, briefly, Mafuyu had popped her party popper, aaand…
…. Somehow, Shirogane found his lips on Yukisada’s. He pulled away after realizing that, tugging his scarf over his mouth, blush coming across his face.
Well, he did it. Now the only thing to do was to make himself not seem like a moron….
“ … Ah, uh… Happy New year, Yukisada… L-let’s make it a good one… Or something…. Yeah. ”
Sleepily, groggily, Shirogane sat up from the blankets he covered himself in after laying on top of Yukisada. He hoped he hadn’t drank too much, and this was somewhat of a test of that question. If he fell over, he drank too much. If he accidentally hurt Yuki in the process of getting up, he was too drunk.... Okay, first obstacle cleared. Brushing his hair out of his face, he glanced at the clock as a second test, seeing as it was going to be midnight soon....
... Oh. They missed it. It was 12:03 and they didn’t even notice.
“ Yuuukiii... ”
Shirogane gave Yukisada a decently sloppy, but affectionate kiss to the owl, nuzzling into his neck afterwards.
“ Happy New Year. ”
And with that, he gently giggled, and continued to cuddle him, as if not much changed with the world. And to him, in this moment, nothing really did.
