After the events with dimensional portal that Astral was so wary of, just as he suspected, Yuma ended up hurt. He did not get lost between worlds but the unstable devices they were using on Earth for the experiment could not hold all the energy required to make his travel safer, so Yuma had some damage in his organs and muscles, nothing life threatening, but he would be bedridden for a little while.

Astral stayed with him most of that time. He excused himself from his duties in Astral world and was willing to make up for all the harm he has caused. Yuma kept on saying how he was fine and feeling very awkward about bothering others, especially his partner, but he knew Astral would not listen to him this time, not after he ignored his warnings, went through the experiment and it ended up like that.
Yuma was still upset and bothered by what happened, all times it happened. In the first, he was very afraid for himself; then he got afraid for them both, and for their relationship and it was expected: Astral avoided Yuma at all costs now and things were very weird because Astral was the one taking care of Yuma, since his friends and family did not have much free time.
The next morning from that first time, Yuma woke up to a panicked Astral crying his eyes out. The human got so surprised he was speechless and, well, he did not have the energy to argue or do anything really since his body was very spent. They eventually talked things through and were trying to figure out, for the longest time, what was causing Astral’s loss of control and how to stop that from happening, they weren’t very successful and Astral closed himself up.
The next morning from this last time was... disturbing, for lack of a better way to describe it. Yuma woke up to a pensive Astral, looking through the window, and he could see his eyes were red and a little swollen from crying. He called out, but Astral didn’t answer, as if he weren’t there. After more failed attempts at getting the other’s attention, Yuma gets up and goes to him. He was in pain but what was hurting him the most was the gut feeling that they both lost something really precious.
“I’m so sorry... I have no idea how else I’m supposed to apologize for having done... that. I don’t think nothing I say or do will... change anything, will it?” Astral says, as he notices Yuma by his side, still staring through the window at nothing in particular,
“No.” Yuma replies, dryly, tentative.
Astral lets out a long, pained, sigh, lowers his head and cover his face with his hands. All Yuma can hear is his breath, heavy and a little exasperated, and he decides to continue, “I am not mad at you. Even if you apologizeーno matter how many times, even if I forgive you... we can’t go back in time... but we can move forward. This is something you taught me, Astral.”
“Astral, look at me.” Yuma demands, and he can see Astral’s face contorting into a pained expression. All the time they were talking, Yuma was looking at him, but Astral couldn’t look back, “Astral,” Yuma insists and the taller man abides. Tearful eyes, trembling lips, all his thoughts and fears displayed in the open.
“I’m scared of this... I can’t control it and yet, I remember as if I were there and now... I feel like it will happen again, and I will not be able to stop it, and I will end up hurting you again.”
“I’m scared of this too and I also feel like it will happen again but... maybe there’s some things we can do about it.”
“What do you mean?” Astral asks fast, in an almost desperate way.
“.............What?! Are you... serious?”
“Yep. Remember what happens when you’re like that? You want to form Zexal. You want to become one with me, so... in human terms, you can become one through sex,” Yuma explains, to a flabbergasted Astral, “after you........ did.... that... you calmed down... well, you just passed out. So I think, if we have sex, it’s going to be the quickest way to get you back to normal.”
“Yuma, are you serious? You can’t be serious.” Astral mumbles, impatient and incredulous, “I don’t want to do that again, ever. I don’t want to hurt you anymore!”
“You don’t want to sleep with me anymore?” Yuma raises one of his brows, inquiring, which makes Astral move finally and get to walk around the room trying to find a way to reply, to which he sighs after a while, and no answer comes. Yuma continues, “I still want to sleep with you, and make love with you...”
“Aren’t you afraid of me?!”
They didn’t talk much about that anymore and a few days later, Yuma went through the experiment and had the accident.
Astral never touched Yuma again after that day. Whenever the human tried to initiate any kind of physical contact, Astral would flinch and apologize. After a few days, Yuma stopped insisting. Most nights, Astral could hear Yuma purring his name while touching himself, from the living room, where Astral was staying for the time being. Although aroused as well, he could not bring himself to do the same out of guilt and shame. He was thankful Yuma was already better so he didn’t need to stay there for much longer. Little he knew though, he was digging his own grave this time. Frustration was building up in his core and with enough, it could trigger his corruption.
And it did. In the day he decided to leave the place.
That night, again, he could hear Yuma having fun by himself from across the room and he swallowed hard, goosebumps all over his body, then... he was gone.
In his room, Yuma was naked and uncovered playing with both his ass and dick, legs apart, lying on his back, kind of lost at it. He realizes Astral was ogling him from the door, that same ghastly presence and he freezes, somewhat fearful but determined to test his theory. He spreads his ass with his hands, inviting, and Astral comes closer.
When the frenzied man make motion to move and pin the other down, Yuma quickly grabs his crotch, making Astral wince and freeze. The human then unbuckle and lower the other’s pants, and makes his way up, removing his shirt too. He can hear “Zexal, Zexal” from under Astral’s breath.
“I know you’re there...” Yuma murmurs right to Astral’s ear, “come.”
Yuma gets them both to bed, lying down and getting Astral to follow him ー in a position painfully similar to the last, and traumatic, time they have been together ー but this time, Yuma was leading the act, somehow. Astral looked and acted very tame, unusually tame, considering how agitated he gets in that state.
“Zexal...” Yuma says this time, clenching the other’s cock and making him flinch again. And he releases Astral, pulling his hips closer.
Since Yuma was much more relaxed this time, and he also somewhat prepared himself, Astral could enter him without much struggle. He was still forceful though, but he was not biting or scratching Yuma this time, he seemed to want to stay connected and buried deep inside of the other. He thrust in swift, firm motions, barely moving out. Making Yuma gasp with each nudge and having his dick leak pre-cum, without needing to touch it at all.
Not used to that kind of rough, heartless sex, Yuma did his best to not touch the other ー fearing that would make him snap for real ー nor touch himself, because Astral needed to finish first. It was a little painful at first but it was at least enjoyable, too. He loved to see Astral’s face when he was taking him, although Astral was not there, this was still him, and Yuma tried to imagine what face he would make the next day...
Not long have passed to the point where Astral started to move erratic. He was close to his climax and clawed Yuma’s shoulders, while lying even closer to him, their faces about to touch each other. Yuma can’t resist the urge and kisses him, cupping his face and, to his surprise, Astral reciprocates. Yuma could not remember when it was the last time they kissed passionately like that, Astral seemed famished and going hard inside of his lover. Yuma felt as if he was about to lose his mind, overwhelmed by the sensations in both his ass and mouth. Astral starts getting a little more snappy and bites and scratches Yuma but cums soon, a few times, and like the last time, he passed out when he was done. Yuma pants relieved, but stares at his painfully erect cock and let out a long groan.
“Astral... Astral, wake up.”
Rubbing his eyes, Astral follows the voice and sees Yuma completely naked, between his legs, he was also naked. He doesn’t seem too surprised and let out a smile, full of relief, “so... it worked after all. I can’t believe this...”
“Yes, and you passed out again and Iー” Yuma pauses irritable, “I need you right now.”
Astral chuckles and pulls Yuma closer, then he yawns and wiggles to get his body to a more comfortable position, he felt sleepy and as if his body was all soft and melty, he can feel Yuma fingering him with some urgency and couldn’t help but think that the human was also holding back all this time, the situation was hard for them both, especially for Yuma, who have suffered directly with his corruption.
Without losing anymore time, Yuma enters him and Astral let out a soft moan, his eyes closed, his legs spread open and his arms lying around, completely exposed and vulnerable, and the most comfortable he have been in days, he yawns again.
“Don’t fall asleep now, ok? I can’t continue if that happens...”
“No need to worry... I’m going to watch you.”
And so he does. Astral does not take his eyes off of Yuma for a moment, making the human blush in embarrassment, as if those yellow eyes could see inside of his very soul. Maybe they could?
