It was a dream forest of softly starlit maples, strong and stately and reassuring in the darkness. It surrounded and protected the two young men who lay in the clearing on their backs on coolly quiet grass, gazing up at the not-entirely-full moon and its children, sparkling alongside it.

"I love nights like this," came the blue-haired boy's enthusiastic whisper, drifting lazily across to his blond lover's ears. "Warm summer nights cooled by the breeze, and everything is so STILL...it makes you wonder if you're the only person left alive."

After a tranquil pause, a reply whispered back in a low voice, "I hate feeling like that. I hate feeling that...alone."

A hushed rustle of grass was the immediate response as Touma rolled over on his side to gently gaze down at his beloved. "You're not alone, Seiji. Never alone. We'll always be with you," he reminded the once-warrior of Light and Courtesy, pressing one cool fingertip to Seiji's forehead. "I'LL always be with you." He grinned before adding, "You can't get rid of me."

"Good." Seiji reached up and over and pulled the warmth of the lithely strong body closer to his own.

Touma chuckled at the possessive gesture and snuggled in closer. "It's not so bad when you have someone to share the rest of the world with, hmm? I mean...doesn't it just FEEL like we're the only ones who exist right now?" Seiji nodded quietly, trying to get his lover to notice the intensity of the violet eyes that studied him. "Just you and me and the trees and the moon. That's it." He exhaled and Seiji leaned up to lick a little at Touma's lower lip.

THAT got Touma's attention. He looked down at Seiji who took advantage of his "opponent's" weakness to pull him down, lock his mouth with the archer's and tighten his hold.

Rich blue eyes fluttered closed as a soft moan rose from the back of his throat. He shifted to better position to return the kiss that was mounting passionately. Seiji's tongue was welcomed and the gesture reciprocated. Sword-calloused hands were tugging impatiently until Touma broke away temporarily and sat up to allow his shirt to be pulled off.

Seiji allowed himself to stop kissing Touma long enough to comment, "Gods, Touma, I'd swear you were made of moonlight right now..." The blush that comment engendered made his own blood race. "You're so beautiful, do you know that?"

"Urusai...." Touma replied bashfully, and followed up on it by making sure Seiji couldn't use his mouth to talk anymore. Deftly skilled fingers unbuttoned buttons in a flash, smoothing away cloth and opening soft flesh to eyes, fingers, lips and tongue, all of which Touma employed as he began moving down Seiji's body.

The swordsman arched a little under his strong archer's attentions, and also to help him, as he was unfastening belt and pants impatiently. As he raised his hips to help Touma pull his pants down, Touma nuzzled his awakening erection through his shorts, sending a soft moan out into the air from Seiji's throat.

Touma slid through the air and between Seiji's legs, working on freeing himself now, undoing pants hastily as he licked at Seiji's belly button and the soft skin of his inner thighs. He slid one hand down into Seiji's shorts as he seized the soft warm lips of his beloved again, making Seiji writhe and kiss him deeply in response.

He shoved Tenku's wielder's pants and underwear off as best he could, leaving Touma to wriggle out of them the rest of the way, which the lean archer was apparently rather good at. Finally, THANKFULLY, Touma tugged the last barrier between them off and down Seiji's legs, tossing them over by his slacks before returning to kissing his best friend, comrade and lover.

Seiji rolled the two over onto a cooler patch of grass. He could feel the shiver run through his love's beautiful body and kissed down along the toned chest in response. He ran warming palms down over muscled legs and back up again, rubbing briefly against the base of Touma's member and delighting at the brief hiss that escaped. He looked up at Touma as though curious and then, as if he were experimenting with an interesting trinket, slowly flicked his tongue over the tip. The sudden JOLT that hit the former Tenku warrior's body was very gratifying. Seiji tried not to smirk.

He continued working over just the very end of his love's most sensitive organ, devoting almost all of his attention on it so that, hopefully, all of Touma's attention would be there as well. He slowly slipped his right hand between the long legs around him and just left it in the grass there for a moment as he continued to tease.

Then all at once he slid his mouth DOWN and two fingers IN. The quiet tranquility of the night was rent by the piercingly sharp gasp of Seiji's name as Touma's entire body arched off the grass. Seiji worked his beau over as precisely and elegantly as if he were working through sword forms, making Touma shudder for reasons besides the cool breezes and quietly settling dew that had started to appear around them.

Those cool whispers of wind against his flesh so contrasted the hot wet mouth swallowing him that it was driving the warrior of Wisdom insane, he was sure of it. His breathing was harsh and erratic, and he was clawing at grass as though it could help him take the ecstasy coursing through his body.

"Seiji...gods, Seiji, if you keep this up, I...I'll explode..."

The mouth paused its labor of love just long enough to comment, "That's the whole point," and returned to its appointed task. Touma moaned impatiently, thrashing inside the mouth, around the fingers inside him.

Seiji picked up his pace in answer and Touma's cries seemed to be swallowed up by the forest. Not that it mattered. No one else existed. Just the two of them and the moon and the trees and the pleasure they could create for each other.

"Seiji..." Touma was panting and gasping now, and Korin no Seiji needed no bond to sense the tension building in the body beneath him. "Seiji...aah....ah...SE....!" The rest of it was cut off with a shudder and a hard gasp as the tension released itself. Touma groaned as his body relaxed and Seiji performed most of the necessary clean-up.

"Ohhhh gods, Seiji...." he commented trying to catch up to his breath. Seiji rained soft kisses over his abdomen and worked his way up the way he'd come, to rest the kiss-storm on Touma's cheeks and lips. And while thus mostly innocently occupied, he gently swayed his hips, brushing hard erection against the most sensitive secretive areas of the body pinned beneath him.

Touma's lips and eyes grinned up at him and he deliberately ground his hips up and against Seiji's on the next sway. The wielder of Korin took that as the encouragement he needed, further reassured by Touma's setting his legs just a little further apart and raising his hips in offering.

Seiji kissed along Touma's jaw and licked at the veins pulsing under the fair throat as he positioned himself. He slid one hand into one of Touma's own, grasping it tightly as he made slow entry into the tight depth of his soulmate's body.

Touma arched just a little again, whimpering softly and adjusting automatically to help ease his love into him. His breath was already escaping him once more, as was Seiji's. This situation might've been helped if Seiji weren't gasping Touma's name as he was engulfed by pleasure.

And as he began actually moving within Touma, he wanted to scream, although somehow he couldn't. Perhaps it was merely that he had been taught not to, but every single nerve ending his body contained seemed to be radiating pure, unadulterated BLISS. Making love with Touma was always like this, and yet it always somehow seemed to surprise his body, just how wonderful it felt.

His soul sang and his heart melted, and there was nothing but Touma and the trees and the moon and the breeze and the ecstasy encompassed them all.

He leaned down to kiss Touma's ear and neck some more, nuzzle sweat- and dew-wet azure hair, still clasping one of Touma's hands in one of his own. Touma's other arm wrapped around his love and held him tighter to him as they moved in a rhythm that neither of them could remember setting. They had just matched up unconsciously. Seiji could swear their hearts were beating in time as well.

"Tou...ma...ohhh gods, I..." Anything else he had meant to say, although he had no idea what it had been, dissolved as he erupted within his beloved. His mind distantly registered Touma's second orgasm of the evening - it seemed as though his brain had been blown back to the furthest corners of reality.

Touma pulled Seiji down on top of him and leaned up to kiss his temple. "See?" he asked when he had breath to without having to gulp it. "It's not so bad having the world all to ourselves."

"I never had any problem with that. I just don't like being alone. But as long as I have you..." Seiji kissed Touma with brief intensity, "...I know I'll never ever be alone."

Author's Notes: I suppose if you want to put this in my SeijixTouma/ToumaxSeiji universe, this would happen between Hearts in Armor and Line of Duty. But really I just wrote it because...hell, I needed a real, honest-to-goodness Lemon for these two. "Lightning Kisses" is, as Tavestry puts it, "Lemon-scented."

Hope you enjoyed it!
