Ban’s eyes fluttered open |Heh. No dreams..| Ban tensed as he felt a presence that was not Ginji behind him. |What the...? Oh. Right. Shido.|

Shido’s arms tightened around Ban’s waist and he kissed his shoulder. “Morning.”

Ban turned around in Shido’s arms. “Good morning.” Shido was grinning like the cat that got the cream. “Why are you looking so satisfied?”

“We had sex.”

“I noticed.”

“I’m your first.”

Ban didn’t meet Shido’s eyes. “I’m not a virgin.”

“Not anymore, anyway.”

“Oh, bite me.” Shido’s head dipped down and he bit down, gently, on Ban’s neck, drawing on the skin and deliberately leaving a mark. “Hey!”

“You asked...” Shido nuzzled Ban’s temple and dragged Ban closer to him. “You’ve never had sex before this?”

“Yes. I have.”

“With another man?”

“...Yes. With Ginji. Once.”

“Oh?”

“It was his first night out of Mugenjou. He had a nightmare, and wanted comfort.”

“Normally he’d just cuddle.”

“I guess he wanted something more. Something to prove that he really wasn’t in Mugenjou anymore.” Ban shrugged. “So I gave him what he wanted. Can YOU deny Ginji anything? Especially when he’s half naked and looking at you with those big brown eyes, begging you to take him?”

Shido blinked. “He really said that?”

“Not in so many words, but, yeah.”

“I take it you must’ve been on top that time.. you mean to say you don’t love Ginji?”

“I do love him. It’s just... different.”

“Ahh.” Shido tilted Ban’s head up to look him in the eye. “Do you love me?”

“I’m not sure. I mean, well...”

Shido nuzzled Ban’s temple. “Maybe I should’ve taken you out on a date first.”

“Eh?”

“I rushed you into things.”

“Shido, pull your head out of your ass. We didn’t do anything that I didn’t want.”

“Do you even know what you want?”

“You. Money. A steady source of income. An apartment for Ginji and me to stay in, with heat in winter and air conditioning in the summer. No more parking tickets. Ginji to to see the world and everything in it. World domination and or peace, whichever comes first.” The last part caused Shido to laugh. “What about you?”

“Mmm. You. Better treatment of domestic and wild animals. A house for you me and Ginji to live in where we could have a dog. But no picket fence, because you’d probably use it to kill me. World domination or peace, which ever comes first.” Ban grinned at that. “And breakfast.”

“Wow, that’s right. You’re going to feed me after what you put me through last night.”

“I have my breakfast right here.” Shido kissed Ban. Ban snuggled closer to Shido. “I never thought you’d be the cuddling type.”

“The same could be said of you.”

“True. Do you want breakfast?”

“Not if it involves either of us leaving this bed.”

“We have to meet up with Ginji and Himiko anyway.”

“OH SHIT!” Ban bolted out of the bed and started to get dressed. “I can’t believe I forgot to call Ginji and tell him that we’re okay!”

“I did that. Last night after you fell asleep.” Shido tilted his head to indicate the cell phone on his nightstand.

Ban glanced up from trying to close up his pants. “What else did you tell them?”

“I told Paul that you were exhausted and I wasn’t planning on being the one to wake you up so you could sleep in your car.” Shido rose and Ban’s eyes widened as he licked his lips. “I didn’t think you’d want me telling him about this, until we’ve actually figured out what this is.”

“Well, last night you told me it’s not a one time thing.”

“Yes I know. You were also terrified out of your mind last night.”

“For the last time I wasn’t-”

“Ban, I could feel your pulse racing before I even kissed you. You sounded truly scared when the gun went off and you thought I got shot.”

“...”

“Ban..”

“Maybe I was scared. A little.”

Shido rolled his eyes. “Of course, Ban.” He tugged on his underwear and jeans and kissed Ban. “So, what now?”

“What do you mean?”

“Do we tell the others?”

Ban worried his lip between his teeth. “I don’t want to keep this from Ginji, but I don’t want to announce it to the world, you know?”

“I’m not going to keep it from Madoka. She deserves to know.”

“So...”

“We don’t advertise it, but we don’t deny it either.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Ban pulled on his shirt. “Did you mean it?”

“Mean what?”

“About the house with the dog and you me and Ginji?”

“Well, yeah.”

Ban swallowed the lump in his throat. “Just checking.”

“You okay?”

“Fine. Just feeling like an out of place romance novel heroine.”

Shido chuckled and kissed the top of Ban’s head. “You’re so cute. Come on, I’ll buy you and Ginji breakfast.”

Ban grinned. Today was going to be a good day.
