Natsuki Subaru was out in the city today. Alone.
Emilia wanted to come along for the shopping trip, but Subaru had other plans.
Ring!
The bell above resounded as he entered the pub.
He scanned the entire room. Wooden chair and tables. Not many patrons. But one man stood out. Red hair, a white uniform, and that handsome face.
Reinhard.
"Drinking so early in the day?" Subaru said.
Poking facial hair. Unkempt hair. His white uniform... wasn't that white today.
Reinhard didn't answer. He just drank a bit more wine and sighed.
Something had happened the other day, and Reinhard was a tad depressed. He spent most of his days in the pub, doing absolutely nothing.
Normally, Subaru would have just let the man be. His sadness was his problem, not Subaru's. However, letting someone as strong as Reinhard rot away wasn't something Subaru could afford either.
"I know just the thing that would cheer you up!" Subaru said.
"And what is that?"
"Women. Let's go to the red light-"
"I'm into men."
Of course, Subaru had meant it as a joke. A joke to get the righteous young man fired up and focus all his anger on Subaru. However-
Subaru's face dropped and just stood there gaping like a moron. "M-men?" He laughed. He laughed hard, drawing all the attention in the room. "Can be arranged, for sure."
Reinhard let out a half-sigh. "Actually, I think it has to be you." He knew Subaru had the hots for the elf. If he pulled this card, Subaru would finally leave him alone, and he'd-
"Okay!" Subaru said. And mostly as a bluff. A huge bluff, he didn't know how to get out of.
"Just stop acting. Go home. Emilia would be worried-"
"I'm also worried. I'm worried about you. Please. Just tell me something I can do, and together we'll –"
"I told you, didn't I? If you spread your legs, I'll reconsider your words."
Subaru gulped. And although he agonized over it for a couple of minutes, he struck his pose. "Alright. They have a room up there, right? Let's go."
"You can't be serious. I was joking. Go home."
"Too late now. Either you go upstairs with me, or you come home with me. The choice is yours!"
"You know what. Let's go!" Reinhard slammed the mug and stood firm.
"YEAHH!!!" The patrons clapped as Reinhard princess carried Subaru straight up the stairs, into a room.
He dropped the damsel on the bed and locked the door.
"Now what?" Reinhard said.
"You tell me, you're the gay one."
"I'm telling you, I just made that up. I don't feel anything for men."
"Maybe you'll feel something more me?" Subaru winked.
Of course, he was bluffing. It was actually kind of fun teasing that powerful guy who-
"Okay," Reinhard said, taking off his shirt, revealing that semi-muscular build.
Hot... Subaru shook his head. He couldn't he undone. Reinhard had to be bluffing too, so he took off his shirt and while he wasn't as muscular as Reinhard, he wasn't really that lacking.
Reinhard took off his pant and stood there in his underwear. The vibrance of his flesh, contrasted with the shorts.
Subaru too took off his pants.
The two kept staring at each other, neither giving up.
Reinhard finally took off the last piece of clothing and his family jewels just hung in the air, definitely not erect, almost hidden in that hazy cheery mess.
Subaru too took off his and he wasn't erect either.
"Well, we're not-"
Reinhard sat down by the bed. "Lovers kiss before sex," he said slowly reaching for Subaru's lips.
Subaru's breath sped up. His heart beast fast. Fuck, fuck, fuck....
This couldn't go on.
This just-
Yet, he didn't want to lose. Stopping right now was going to be embarrassing and he didn't want to lose against this perfect guy.
Which was why- he pressed his lips against Reinhard's. That should have been it.
However, Reinhard's warm lips parted, and his tongue entered Subaru's mouth. In a moment, their heat and taste were exchanged. A faint connection, formed.
Heart pounded.
Breath caught fire.
A reaction. A reaction perhaps neither, and certainly not Subaru, could foretell.
Fuck, what the-
And now... Subaru had an erection.
