The Promise and the Threat

Co-written with Aya

Daisuike groaned as he looked over the paperwork laid out on his makeshift desk. This was getting out of hand and he really wished Isao was back to take care of it. Who knew that organized crime needed an accountant anyway? Shoving his chair back he got up stretching wincing as things popped. He'd been sitting too much. He just wished the doctors would clear him for his regular work already. Though he knew that he wasn't quite up to it just yet. Three weeks was long enough for the bruises to have faded along with any soreness. Just the long gash down his side seemed to be taking a long time to heal, but that could just be because of where it was. Every time he moved it pulled. At least the stitches were coming out in a few days, they were really starting to bother him.

"You headed home, Daisuike-san?"

"Yeah, I think I will. Can you finish this up?"

"Sure."

Leaving the building he glanced around having the distinct feeling he was being watched. Years of being Yakuza had taught him to never discount those feelings. He took the long way back to the apartment making sure no one was following him. Nothing revealed itself, but he kept vigil until he pulled into the parking garage. Ruka's apartment complex was gated, there was no way someone would be able to sneak in.

He grinned as he got into the elevator pulling the small box out of his pocket. He'd seen it the other day and had decided to get it on impulse. Something he seemed to do a lot of when it concerned Ruka. He had missed Ruka terribly all day and was nearly jumping out of his skin wanting to see him.

"Tadima!"

Ruka grinned yelling from the kitchen, "Okaeri!" He was excited. Since Suke had been living with him while he was recovering he had been trying to learn to cook. Failing near miserably and nearly burnt the kitchen down once- okay on several occasions but he was trying!

Today he tried to make tamagoyaki and it looked. . . bad. Sighing he hung his head, he was never going to get this cooking thing down. Suke was going to have a fit too. He burnt another pan. Okay pans.

"How was work?" He smiled untying the apron as he stepped out looking at Daisuike grinning. Why was it every time he saw the man he wanted to shove him against that front door and have him? He'd never get tired of him. Closing the distance between the two of them he pushed him gently against the front door kissing him passionately. He had missed him a lot. Maybe he should start of modeling again. He was so lonely during the day.

Daisuike moaned into the kiss his whole body suddenly on fire. He wrapped his arms around Ruka holding him tight. He grinned when they finally broke apart. It was so nice to come home to Ruka being there, it made him feel wanted and loved.

"Mmm I missed you so much today. I hate desk jobs." He made a face as the smell hit him. "Ruka, love . . . did you burn another pan? I told you, you don't have to try and cook for me."

"I want to cook though! It seems like a lot of fun and I'm want to try and please you." He shifted backwards looking away some. Suke was going to scold him so bad if he learned he had burned 2 pans, a saucepan and somehow the strainer. He wasn't even sure how he burnt the strainer but there was a hole in it that wasn't suppose to be there. Then again, Suke's 'punishments' were always very fun. He shuddered just thinking about the possibility of his Ouji-sama taking him.

"Ano. . . And I. . . Well, we need a few new pans. I sort of burned two pans, the iron saucepan and I burnt a hole in the strainer somehow. . ."

Looking at Daisuike he smiled softly, "And of course the food is burnt too."

"Ruka . . . koibito, I love you, but don't ever try to cook again. You please me very much just the way you are. I'll do the cooking." Daisuike shook his head smiling before lightly kissing him then moving away to take his shoes off. "Ano . . . can we open a window or something and do we need to order something for dinner or is there anything left I can salvage?"

Ruka pouted but nodded, "There's food left if you want to try and cook. There's some pans still I think. . . " He moped a bit towards the windows opening them up. He just wanted to cook for Daisuike and make the same expression of ecstasy appear on his face that he knew was on his own when he tried Suke's cooking.

"Ne, I want your opinion on something." Turning back towards Daisuike he followed him into the kitchen leaning on the counter, "I'm thinking of going to model again. I won't take jobs that'll keep me far, but I get bored here alone now that you're at work again and I can't race or anything during the day. . ." He ran a hand through his hair, "What do you think?"

Daisuike looked at him for a moment. He could definitely see why he would be a model.

"That is fine with me Ruka. I'm sorry I can't be here more often, but with Iso gone right now they are needing help at the head quarters." He took one look at the burnt pans and food and gave up. "Lets go out to eat. We haven't been for a while. I'll got take a quick shower and get changed if that is alright."

"Alright. It's not your fault you got work, but having you around then not is hard! I was used to being alone before." Seeing Daisuike start towards the bedroom he quickly chased after him grabbing him around the waist.

"And did someone say shower?" He breathed huskily into his ear, nipping at it softly letting his hands trail down the fronts of pants lightly, "Mind if I join you Ouji-sama? I can wash your back for you. . ."

"Ruka . . ." Daisuike breathed softly his body tingling at the feel of the man's arms around him. "Do you have any idea how often I thought of you today?"

They made it into the bedroom helping each other strip. Daisuike ran his hands over Ruka's beautiful defined chest before leaning down to kiss his neck and shoulder. He nipped at the smooth skin loving the sounds Ruka made. He was quickly learning just what to do to get his beautiful lover worked up past the point of stopping.

Ruka's body twitched at the small bites unable to stop himself. Just in these three weeks Daisuike had learned so much about what made him moan and scream in pleasure and it thrilled him. Then again he had learned the same things about the other man as well.

Unable to stop himself he scooped Daisuike up, loving the way he yelled and protested. This was one of his favorite things to do and it also gave him a way to see if Daisuike was gaining weight or not. His Ouji-sama has definitely gained back weight and muscle and it pleased him to no end. Both were going to the gym together to help with his therapy plus to keep in shape and it was extremely fun with the black haired man with him.

Stepping inside the shower with Daisuike he smirked backing him up against the wall, turning the knob to adjust the water temperature slightly to a bit hotter before turning it on. Instantly the warm water hit them and Ruka smirked. He was just wondering who was going to be taking who tonight. He'd see what kind of mood Daisuike was in.

Reaching down he started to gently stroke the other's forming erection, grinning wickedly down at Daisuike.

Daisuike didn't event try to hold back the loud moan as he felt Ruka's fingers wrap around him. He'd been dreaming of coming home to Ruka all day and to finally be home with him was bliss.

He kissed him fervently letting his mouth trace his jaw and down his neck while his hand found Ruka's erection. He chuckled softly feeling how hard his lover was already.

"Somebody missed me today," He murmured against the flawless skin unable to contain the grin.

"Mmm, very much so. I didn't even jack off while you were gone either, though I was very tempted to." He leaned down shuddering as Daisuike stroked him. His wicked little mouth was doing a number against his skin and he couldn't help the soft whines coming from his lips.

Wrapping his hand around the tip he squeezed stroking him at the same. He wanted to hear those tiny cries of pleasure from his lover and he knew what would get them.

"God. . . I need you so bad. . ." He groaned against his lover's neck biting particularly hard on the junction, his free hand coming up to burying itself into the dark locks of his Ouji-sama.

Daisuike gasped his back arching, a wave of heat surging through him as Ruka bit down. The mixture of pleasure and pain got him going faster than anything, except knowing that it was Ruka making him feel this way.

"Oh god Ruka! Do that again!" Even he could hear the lusty whine in his voice, but he didnt care, he just wanted Ruka.

Ruka groaned tugging somewhat hard at Suke's hair to tilt his head away to bite again on his neck moving to his shoulder continuing with the bites. It always made him feel anxious and odd to know that Daisuike got off on a bit of pain but it gave him a rush that he was able to pleasure him so much. It also made him feel a bit more aggressive than usual and it brought the need for a bit rougher sex.

"God, you really do like it rough don't you?" He growled softly as he moved the bites back to his neck moving to the other side of his neck.

"S-so . . . what-what's wrong with that." Daisuike panted his fingers tightening around Ruka his thumb toying with the ring. Ruka always seemed to love it when he did that and he was beginning to wonder what it felt like. He might like pain but he wasn't sure he was brave enough to have himself pierced in that location.

"Ah- Ahh! F-Fuck!" He groaned shuddering as Suke played with the ring, it made his legs go a bit weak. It always felt so good when he did that and almost wished Suke had one so he could give him the same sort of pleasure he gave him.

"N-nothing's wro-aahh. . . wrong with that. Ah, god, do that again-" A moan escaped his lips biting even harder on Suke's neck. "Just- . . . just makes me wanna be rough with you." He smirked moving to suck and nip behind Suke's ear. A throaty moan escaped him as he went to whisper into Daisuike's ear.

"I want you so badly right now. Like, want you against the wall screaming. . ."

Daisuike groaned low in his throat his whole body trembling. The thought of Ruka making him scream sending a chill through him. With his free hand he reached up his fingers running through Ruka's now soaked hair clenching it lightly. His voice was low and breathy the combination of the hot water and the hotter body of his lover against him driving him crazy with desire.

"Then why don't you?"

Ruka groaned loudly as he heard the words leave Suke's lips. How did this man know how to drive him utterly insane. Crushing his lips against Daisuike's tasting him, no longer the gentle soft caresses, stroking his erection faster he pulled apart from Daisuike turning him around and shoving him up against the wall.

Grinning he reached over to where they kept the shampoos, having long realized he needed to keep lube in the shower and quickly coated his hands and fingers grabbing Suke's length stroking him as he nudged his fingers into his entrance stretching him a little roughly groaning as he bit and kissed his shoulders.

"I'm going to make you scream so loud our neighbors will call in complaints. . ."

Daisuike gasped his head spinning as he tried to find something to grab. His legs trembled slightly as Ruka's fingers entered him and he let out a loud whine. It burned, but it felt so good too sending tingles of pleasure up his spine.

"Ahh . . .oh god-ohh." He squeezed his eyes shut his head resting against the cool tile as the pleasure sent heat racing through him.

Ruka quickly decided he couldn't wait any longer, having stretched Daisuike enough, pulling his fingers out slowly to wipe them on a wash cloth. Grabbing a condom- which he learned to stock in the bathroom as well, he slid it on, coating it with lube as well groaning at the feeling.

Barely giving Suke time to get ready he smirked biting his shoulder hard, "Be ready to start screaming Ouji-sama. . ." With that he nudged in fully shuddering and squeezing his eyes shut at the tight feeling of Daisuike surrounding him. It felt amazing and he didn't waste any time in starting his hard and slow thrusts, timing his pumps around Daisuike.

Growling softly in his ear, he smirked, "Maybe I'll make you scream and beg me to go faster. . ."

Daisuike bit his lip rather hard as Ruka entered him, the stretch just almost too much. The pain from the bites distracted him as did the feel of Ruka's hand on his erection. He moaned as Ruka started to move, the slow firm thrusts into his body mimicking the strokes on his erection. He felt as though he was drowning in sensation and tried to rock his hips back to force Ruka into him more as he thrust back in.

"Ohgod Ru-ahhh . . .R-Ruka!"

With a soft groan, Ruka hissed trailing his hand down Suke's back until he grabbed his hip using it as for leverage, speeding his thrusts up keeping it hard. The soft cries from Suke were amazing and turning him on even more if that was possible. Who knew that such noises could come from his beautiful Yakuza enforcer?

Seeing Suke suddenly slip, unable to hold himself up any longer, he grabbed him holding him, stopping the thrusts. "Mmm, let's move." Shifting them he pulled out of Daisuike and laid him onto his back grinning as he spread his legs, entering him again. Taking hold of one of Suke's ankles he shifting him to go even deeper resuming his fast and hard pace.

Daisuike hissed in surprise as Ruka re-entered him then moved him the thrusts getting more intense. It felt like electricity was racing up and down his spine with each thrust making him moan and writhe. He couldn't get enough of Ruka being rough with him like this. It made all his senses go wild. Heat was building in him so fast but he wanted it to last longer, wanted to feel Ruka pounding into him like this for as long as he could.

"Ohhgodohgodohgod!"

Ruka smirked as he looked at Daisuike, the beautiful look of pleasure on his face, his voice crying out. It was making things harder to keep in check. He wanted to come so bad but would try and hold it off. Biting his lip he once again shifted Daisuike, this time onto his hands and knees, grinning and moaning as he got even deeper, feeling him clench around him.

"S-so good!" Hissing louder he stroked Daisuike faster, squeezing the tip every time he got to the top. Leaning close to his ear he whispered into it, "Come for me Daisuike, let me feel you clench around me and hear you scream out. . ."

Daisuike was moaning continuously now, soft cries slipping past his lips each time Ruka would thrust into him. It was getting too intense, the pleasure cascading through him repeatedly. Ruka's soft commanding voice sent an intense rush of heat through him and he cried out as it sent him over the edge everything fading into white.

"O-oh god!" Ruka cried out softly as Suke clenched around him, feeling himself get closer and his hips finally losing their rhythm as he came. His whole body went numb and he felt entirely too warm and comfortable as he shifted to lay against Daisuike.

"Why do you make me so crazy Ouji-sama?" Sighing he nuzzled kissing Daisuike's neck, "Man, I almost don't want to go out to dinner, so tired."

Daisuike was still catching his breath. "We can . . . it'll be nice."

He shuddered whining softly as Ruka leaned against him. He was warm and tingling all over still from the orgasm. He wanted to do that again when they got back. He wanted to treat Ruka to a nice dinner, it was close to their one month anniversary of being together and he wanted things to be special.

Ruka smiled slowly getting them cleaned up, happy just to touch and gently kiss him. Even if Daisuike and himself liked things rough sometimes he loved just being as gentle as possible too.

"Mmm, why don't we go out for French food tonight?" He smiled turning the water off heading out of the bathroom to change.

Daisuike followed him a bit slowly. He loved it when Ruka got rough with him, but sometimes he paid for it too. Though the soreness just made him think of Ruka more, which was never a bad thing. He watched Ruka get dressed marveling at the superbly toned body of his lover. It was his fortune that it belonged to such a beautiful, caring person and it seemed the more he got to know Ruka the more he loved and respected him.

"French sounds good." Daisuike smiled to himself then blinked remembering that it was still in his pants pocket. Watching to make sure Ruka didn't see him he grabbed them up taking the box out and hiding it under his pillow. He'd grab it before they left.

Once dressed and ready Ruka smiled at Daisuike, "Ready?" Seeing him still fiddling with his stuff he sighed, "I'll go grab my keys and stuff while you finish getting ready."

Yawning Ruka stretched heading out of the bedroom to gather his things. Flipping his phone out he decided to make reservations for dinner while he waited on Suke.

Once Ruka was out of the room Daisuike went over to the dresser where he kept the make-up. He'd had Akira show him how to put on the eyeliner the other day so that Ruka didn't have to do it. He knew it pleased Ruka when he tried to dress up for him and he loved to do anything to please him. He took a deep breath smiling at himself in the mirror and ran a hand through his hair. It was still damp but would look fine as it dried.

Coming out of the bedroom he looked around for Ruka, secretly hoping he liked the outfit he'd picked out for tonight.

"Is there anything you want from the stor-" Ruka's breath hitched seeing Daisuike come out of the bedroom. He looked amazing. Everything from the slightly damp hair to his eyes to his pants looked mind blowing.

"Fuck. . ." He breathed slowly walking towards Daisuike, "You keep dressing like this and we'll never never. . ." He crushed his lips against Daisuike groaning as he realized they had to part.

"Come on before I take you again against the wall next to you." He grinned at Daisuike leading him to grab their shoes.

Daisuike was grinning like an idiot as they got into the car. He couldn't help it. He was too excited about going to dinner. A little sliver of apprehension wound through him and he glanced over at Ruka as he buckled himself in. He looked away not wanting to give anything away, but the box felt like a lead weight in his pocket.

"So where are we going?"

"La Petite, it's really good. Though a bit further away in the west side of the Shiro district." Something was making Suke happy and he wondered what it was. He wanted to know why his Ouji-sama was grinning so wide and couldn't seem to keep still.

"Why are you so excited anyways? We've been there before." He smiled softly as he drove off, keeping the speed nice and even but backing off a bit for Daisuike.

"Nothing, no reason. It's just nice to get to spend time with you. I like La Petite." Actually that would be the perfect place tonight. He wished he'd had time to plan this out better, but he was too excited to wait much longer. He just hoped Ruka liked it. He'd kept the receipt just in case though.

"Okay, good." He smiled continuing to drive unsure why he didn't believe Daisuike fully for some reason. Shrugging it off he just focused on driving and keeping his speed slower. It was indeed a thing he had to work on when around Daisuike, though Akira and Reiko seemed to love driving it. Which reminded him. . .

"Oh, Ouji-sama, I promised I'd take Hime-chan out for race in a day, just wanted to let you know. I promise I'll be careful. Akira would skin me alive if anything happened to Hime-chan. They've really gotten a lot closer haven't they."

"Oh . . . okay. Yeah, they have. It's only taken almost three years. Though I was beginning to wonder if Akira would ever act on his feelings for her. I kind of think that she might have been the first to do something though. It just seems like something she would do." Daisuike was careful to keep any disappointment from his voice. He knew how much Ruka loved racing and wasn't about to deny him something he enjoyed. He really wished he enjoyed it more, that and he hadn't worked up the courage to face Hoshi again, afraid the man thought he was an idiot.

Even as hard as he tried, Ruka heard the disappointment in Suke's voice and inwardly cursed himself. Sighing he smiled some looking at Daisuike as they pulled into the valet parking. Getting out he helped Daisuike leading him inside.

"Why don't you take that day off so we have the day to spend together? Would that be possible? Maybe work that night instead?" He wanted to spend all the time he could with Daisuike and hated to make him sad.

"Oh . . . Oh! Yeah I could. Iso will be back in the morning, so they shouldn't need me and I can't go back to my regular duties yet." He looked at Ruka as the entered the restaurant. "Ano . . . are you sure you want me to go with you?"

"I would love if we could spend the day- wait. Iso is coming back? Then you wouldn't have to work- Oh!" Ruka bounced happily, "Do you want to come and watch the race!? I know you don't like being in the car, but watching- would that be fine?" He smiled at Daisuike as they sat down, ordering them wine.

"I'd love for you to see me win my races." He grinned, confidence oozing out of him.

Daisuike smiled as he watched Ruka seeing the confidence in him. "I would really like that actually. I haven't really had a chance to get out and do much with you, or meet your friends. Except Sono. Anyway," He went on wanting to change the subject. "I'll call Jiro and let him know. He already told me I wasn't allowed to do anything but desk work anyway and with Iso back I won't be needed."

He took a small sip of the wine once the waiter brought them their glasses and took their orders.

"Ano . . . when were you thinking of going back to modeling?"

Ruka shrugged, "I dunno, whenever I guess? I'll call my agent. She'll be thrilled. She's been nagging me to do more jobs anyways. Uck, I hope she doesn't try and get me to do anything long term." Rolling his eyes he sipped the wine slowly.

"Last time she wanted me to go to Thailand and do this photoshoot for like 10 days, but I don't want to go for so long now. Not unless you go with me." He smiled gently at Daisuike. 10 days without his Ouji-sama? Impossible.

Daisuike blinked. Ten days. In Thailand! "Ano . . . yeah that would be a long time to be gone. I don't know that I'd be able to go either. We'd just have to see."

He looked up glancing around the restaurant, something suddenly felt a little off but he couldn't place his finger on it. The waiter brought their salads and the feeling passed but he remained a little on edge.

He touched his pocket wondering when would be a good time to give it to Ruka and wondering how he was going to react.

Ruka just waved his hand dismissing it, "If you can't go, then I won't bother. I didn't like the idea of traveling for shoots before anyways and now I just got more incentive not to go."

Smiling he saw the strange look on Daisuike's face. Something was wrong, he knew that look all to well, even if they had only been together for a month.

"Is everything okay?" He kept his voice low as he ate his salad.

"Eh? Yeah it's fine, just got a weird feeling there for a moment." He finished he salad setting the plate out of the way. "Ne Ruka . . . I know we've been spending a lot of time together these last few weeks and I just started back at work this but . . . ano . . ." He stopped as the waiter returned with their main entree's. He was suddenly very nervous.

Ruka blinked at Suke very worried. Was Suke realizing he didn't want to be with him anymore after being at work? Did he want to move out? Ruka suddenly wasn't very hungry. Lowering his eyes some he couldn't look directly into Suke's eyes.

"Are you wanting to move out?" He sighed knowing that this time would eventually come. Maybe he was suffocating Daisuike somehow, "Am I. . . suffocating you?" He bit his lip unable to stop himself from apologizing immediately. "I'm sorry, I- I'll try harder and give you your space if that's what you want. I'll even sleep on the couch!"

He was honestly terrified to death to lose Daisuike and the thought of not being with him hurt.

Daisuike blinked surprised at the turn Ruka's thoughts had taken. "No! No! Ruka . . ." He sighed slightly exasperated and decided he needed to prove to Ruka that he was never going to leave him, no matter what happened. Digging the small box out of his pocket he held it up.

"We've been together a month now and I cannot imagine how I ever lived without you Ruka. You mean so much to me and I want you to have this." Daisuike looked at him both anxious and excited unsure if Ruka would like it or not.

Ruka blinked startled. His heart was beating a mile a minute as he watched Daisuike remove the box. Why did had he almost felt like Daisuike was proposing to him? He shoved that thought aside saving it for later. That was too tempting of a thought.

Reaching over he hesitatingly opened the box, his eyes going wide. Looking at Daisuike he stared in shock, "You. . . bought me this?" He slowly remove it, then noticed the engravement reading it softly.

"Itsumo aishiteru, koibito." Lifting his eyes he stared at it, instantly smiling. "Itsumo aishiteru, Ouji-sama. . ."

Daisuike was grinning as he pulled the other band out of his pocket showing it to Ruka. "I bought myself a matching one too. I wanted us to have matching rings, it just seemed . . . I don't know . . . right somehow. Now are you going to put it on? I had it sized to fit you."

He couldn't wait to see how it looked on those elegant, strong fingers.

Ruka nearly blushed slipping the ring on his finger, "Well I was gunna see if you were gunna put it on for me." He grinned at Suke teasingly surprised he was able to make the ring fit perfectly.

Lifting his hand he stared at it, smiling happily, "It's beautiful Daisuike and it fits wonderfully." He looked seeing the matching one decorating Suke's hand, "I like the idea of matching rings. It makes me extremely happy."

"Oh, I would have put it on for you." Daisuike frowned not realizing he'd messed up. "I wasn't sure if you would like it, but . . . I wanted to get something."

He shrugged a soft smile on his lips. "I saw these and the idea just kind of hit me. I had them sized and engraved the other day. I would have waited until our one month anniversary, but I just couldn't"

"I was joking Love." He reached over touching Suke's hand gently, "I'm glad you gave it to me early. I love it." Though now he wanted to set his plans for the vacation into motion faster. He still had to ask Jiro if he could kidnap Suke for the week, even if the cabin was already rented and all plans were made.

"I really really love it Daisuike, you have no idea how much it means to me." Getting up he moved around leaning down to kiss Daisuike. They were in a semi secluded area and he wanted to. Stroking his cheek he moved back to his seat.

"Thank you."

Daisuike sighed content that Ruka was happy with his gift. It made him feel very good to know he'd done something that Ruka liked.

"Well you are very welcome." He knew he'd probably rarely ever be taking his off now that he'd put it on. "Ano . . .about tomorrow, are you sure you want me to go with you, I mean . . . so far I've not made a very good impression on your friends."

"Of course! You didn't make a bad impression on any- er. . . Well Sono doesn't count. That was a misunderstanding. And Hoshi likes you, just surprised I picked someone who doesn't race."

Reaching over Ruka took Suke's hand, "It's okay. You'll get to meet Fuji and Masa too. They don't hate you or anything Daisuike. So stop worrying, okay? Now let's eat before it gets cold." He smiled gently patting his hand.

The dinner was good, made even better by the fact he got to share it with Ruka. He'd learned over the weeks that they could talk about just about anything with each other. They were discussing a recent new item in the entertainment industry when Suke got the distinct feeling that they were being watched. He stopped talking and scanned the room. He didn't see anyone looking directly at him and it would have been obvious since they were a bit secluded where they were.

He looked over at Ruka. "Ano . . . if you're about done I think we need to go."

Ruka blinked unsure suddenly. What was wrong now? What happened? Ruka casually looked around as if looking for a waiter, flagging one down, though he was also checking to see if he saw anything. What was wrong.

"The check please." Simply looking it over, he felt a few ten thousand Yen notes and stood up, "Keep the change."

Helping Suke up he looked at him whispering softly, "What's wrong?"

Daisuike just shook his head gripping Ruka's elbow with one hand as he ushered him out. He wasn't sure if he was just being paranoid or if something really was wrong. He wasn't going to risk it. If this kept up he was going to go back to carrying his knives around again. Nothing and no one was going to hurt Ruka.
