“Right now?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm.” Kittisak hummed loudly. “We go to cave, or we, ahem, go to cave?”

Shu grinned.

“You really should be resting since you just woke up from almost dying, you know,” Kittisak scolded even as he got up to walk back into the water.

“Feel fine,” Shu argued. “Want go cave now, please.”

“And what are we going to do when we get there?”

Shu’s grin only grew.

“Fine. You’ve convinced me.” Kittisak laughed as he dove into the water to follow Shu. He took Shu’s hand and prepared himself for the quick zoom through the twisting underwater tunnels to their cave. Maybe he was imagining it, but Shu definitely seemed to be moving faster today.

Judging by how easily Shu also lifted Kittisak out of the pool once they were in the cave, it certainly seemed like he was feeling much better.

Kittisak laughed in delight as Shu swept him up in his arms like a princess, and he hugged Shu’s neck. “That’s some mud, huh?”

“Very good mud.” Shu kissed him adoringly. “Mmm… meh almae.”

Kittisak latched on to Shu as tightly as he could, and he kissed him back passionately. He’d been so scared, had worried himself sick, and the relief of having his beloved creature back was the perfect balm to soothe his aching soul. “I really thought I was gonna lose you.”

“I not leave Kitty.” Shu kneeled so he could lay Kittisak down in their nest. He caressed the side of Kittisak’s face. “Need you.”

“I need you too.” Kittisak inhaled sharply as Shu pressed between his legs, and he licked his lips. “Are you sure you’re all right for this? This being the sex I’m really hoping we’re about to have?”

“Yes, Kitty.” Shu smirked. “Very all right for this.”

“Okay, but if you—”

Shu silenced him with a sweet kiss.

Kittisak moaned quietly, sliding his hands over Shu’s broad shoulders. He traced his crests up over his head as they made out, loving the weight of Shu’s body holding him down. He spread his legs to welcome him closer and gasped when Shu’s cock pressed into his inner thigh.

Shu didn’t show any signs of discomfort, though Kittisak was still concerned. He could see the scar on Shu’s chest where he’d been shot, nearly identical to his own.

Shu must have sensed his hesitation because he stopped, pulling back with a little smile. He took Kittisak’s hand to guide over his chest, and he held it there on the scar. “See? Okay, Kitty.”

“You were really close to not being okay, you know.” Kittisak rubbed his thumb along the edge of the scar, savoring the thrum of Shu’s pulse beneath his palm.

“I’m here,” Shu soothed. “Here with Kitty.”

“Yeah, you are.” Kittisak kissed him, and he let his worries melt away with a deep slide of Shu’s tongue. They kissed until he was dizzy and his cock was hard, and he rolled his hips up to grind against Shu. The heat between them was boiling now, and he was already panting when Shu descended between his thighs.

Always mindful of his claws, Shu parted Kittisak’s legs and then ducked his head to lick across his cock and balls. He dragged his tongue down, back behind Kittisak’s balls and teasing around his hole.

Kittisak stroked the crests on the top of Shu’s head, urging him on with eager grunts.

Shu’s tongue probed forward, the tip slowly sliding in.

Oh, how Kittisak had missed that delicious, slippery pressure. Though it hadn’t been but a few days since they were together, the weight of impending grief made it seem like a lifetime had passed since he’d last felt Shu’s touch. He petted Shu’s crests more urgently and was rewarded with a deep thrust of Shu’s thick tongue.

Shu pushed his tongue in as far as he could, stretching Kittisak and growling low. He fucked his tongue in and out relentlessly, his eyes flicking up to meet Kittisak’s.

“Just like that, just like that,” Kittisak chanted. “Fuck, that’s good, baby.” Any discomfort was brief, and he adored the sweet ache of his hole opening up on Shu’s tongue. The impossible way it curled and twisted inside of him was incredible, and his hips jerked when it teased over his prostate. “Mm, hey, go back, go back, please, fuck, yes!”
