The bamboo canes are the same shade as Fai's hair, pale in the glinting light. Fai's eyes are half-open and his throat fully bared; only the way the muscles of his shoulders are bunched and his hand, wrapped around the bottom rung, expose how nervous he is.
"Do you trust me?" Kurogane had asked, and Fai had said yes. He is not struggling and his eyes are calm, his fingers loose around the bamboo. He pauses to admire the picture Fai makes, golden and blue and pink, naked and his.
"Okay?" Kurogane asks now, checking, and Fai doesn't even blink before nodding.

"Kuro-sama," Fai says, and his voice is quiet and steady, no hint of teasing. Kurogane tracks his eyes up the mage's body from his one side to the other, admiring; Fai's hips are raised still, but his face is angled toward Kurogane, his cheek pressed against the carpet. His toes wriggle teasingly and his expression is serene, thoughtful almost.
"What is it?" Kurogane asks.
"Are you going to come over here anytime soon?" Fai asks, lifting an eyebrow, and writhes in the blue ropes. Kurogane grins savagely and sits back in his chair.
"I think," he says meditatively, "I'm happy with watching."

Fai has almost drifted off by the time Kurogane gets up to check on him, which doesn't surprise Kurogane that much. He's seen the wizard fall asleep in numerous stupid positions before. He runs his hands lightly over Fai's skin and feels Fai stir, his head rising from its relaxed position.
"Hey," he says. "Feel better?"
Fai hums sleepy agreement and shifts, his ankle jerking against its binding reflexively before he remembers where he is and stills. Kurogane brushes his long hair out of his face and kisses the edge of his jaw, where it segues into his ear.
"Good," Kurogane says.
#7 -
"Honestly," Fai says, laughing. "Of all the things Kuro-ninja could have learned -"
"Are you done?" Kurogane asks, sliding his arms around Fai's shoulders. He can't see Fai's face but he can hear the sly tone of voice.
"No. I'm admiring Kuro-dom's knotwork."
Kurogane smooths his hands down Fai's chest while he talks, slipping his fingers between the ropes and Fai's skin absently, testing their tightness. He presses his mouth to the back of Fai's head, Fai's hair tickling his nose, as his palms slide down Fai's taut stomach, toward the much-neglected final goal.
"Fuck," Fai pants, and the laughter is gone. Kurogane smiles.
