Of Gold and Adamant

To Be Adored

You are amazing my dear
The way you touch my soul
The way you open me up
The way our lives never dull
You are the only one
That I want in my life
That I need every night
That keeps me from strife
You humble my mind
More than any moon
More than any sun
More than a humble tune
You I want to hold
I adore your charming smile
I adore your childish ways
I adore your character style
You are my life
I need you with me
I need you to know
I need you to see
I adore you so.

Thoren did not think he would come down from the clouds to express the joy he was feeling. He was mated to his beloved lover and his mate the most sought after hanyou in all of the kingdoms combined the gorgeous Lady Inuyasha.

Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were still in bed with their arms wrapped around one another as Thoren tried to get up to make an escape to the bathing chambers.

“Where do you think you are going little Thoren?”

Sesshoumaru stated as Thoren got to the end of the bed.

“To bathe my Lord.”

“Hn…..I think not. Come back to bed.”

Thoren groaned a bit, but got back into the bed feeling rather sticky. He hated that feeling.

Crawling back into the bed he felt odd although he was part of the mating.

“We shall bathe together Thoren.”

Thoren was soon wrapped up into his Lord’s arms as Sesshoumaru nuzzled him.

“You are beautiful Thoren.”

Sesshoumaru cooed to his newest beta. He indeed adored the unicorn and was wondering what their pups were going to look like.

“My Lord, are my looks the only reason for my surviving your killing blow or is there more to me that you see?”

Sesshoumaru thought about things for a moment.

“I believe much had to do with your magical presence and the fact that you fought so hard against me. Had you been a weak fool I would have killed you, but you are strong and of course physical attraction has a great deal to do with my decision. It is the same with Inuyasha. I am not one to tell you what you wish to hear in other words Thoren. I won’t give you those answers that you are looking for. You forget the kind of being that I am.”

“Yes, a very possessive creature.”

Sesshoumaru smiled.

“Indeed.”

Inuyasha woke up and yawned.

“Oh and an asshole. Don’t forget that part Thoren.”

Sesshoumaru snorted.

“Why must you insist on name calling so early in the morning Inuyasha? Must you always be such a cocky bitch?”

Inuyasha smirked. Not caring that his hair was a puffy mess. He looked like a cute little boy in the center of a pile of blankets.

“Why yes I do. As long as my cockiness is headed in the right direction…your ass.”

“Hn…….my ass?”

Sesshoumaru stated while running a clawed finger over Inuyasha’s chest.

“Ok, maybe mine, but you have allowed privileges to your fine ass on occasion.”

Sesshoumaru hummed and then kissed his mate deeply.

“Are you complaining dear?”

Inuyasha leaned into the kiss only to have Thoren pulled into the fray as the three of them spent the rest of the morning love making.

Shippo woke up to having Choukichi in his face again. The guy just didn’t understand personal space.

“What do you think you are doing Choukichi?”

Choukichi smiled.

“I want to continue our training.”

Choukichi climbed into bed with Shippo as Shippo scooted away frowning.

“I ain’t ready for that.”

Choukichi scooted closer to Shippo.

“I am not offering. I was talking about training and maybe making out with you again unless you are chicken.”

Shippo growled as he tackled Choukichi.

“I ain’t a chicken!”

Choukichi laughed and the two of them fell off the bed until Sven arrived with breakfast.

As they ate breakfast Choukichi had to ask Sven an obvious question since after they met the pretty boy both Choukichi and Shippo had wondered about his life here at the castle. Did he have friends? Did he have a mate set up for him? Choukichi started the questions and Shippo continued them.

“So Sven you don’t have a mate set up for you.”

“Not that I am aware of. My life is to serve my Lord until I am told otherwise. If I had a mate I was most likely too young to recall who this person was and after I was given over to be a servant for our Lord privileges such as mating are usually set up by the Lord and Lady.”

Sven stated shrugging.

“Man that has to suck. What if they never pick someone for you?”

Choukichi stated and Shippo nodded feeling sorry for the kid. With Sesshoumaru in charge poor Sven could end up with a real jerk for a mate since he was just a servant.

“I have another question……”

Choukichi stated licking his lips. Shippo growled.

“Don’t………”

Choukichi smiled at Shippo.

“Awe, come on. It isn’t going to hurt or anything. I just wanted to know if you were forced to do anything weird while here. Like has anyone tried to molest ya since you are pretty and all?”

Sven narrowed his eyes.

“Lord Sesshoumaru does not allow any oddities or…..inappropriate behavior from any of his servants or those under his rule. That is why I like it here. Where I am from being beaten or touched by adults is not unheard of. Here there are rules and Lord Sesshoumaru keeps all of us safe from such horrible things. That is why Lord Shippo’s Uncle is going to suffer while he is serving here. He is currently in the stables cleaning after the horses. It is not a task that is easy, but it is above most servants’ station to care for the prized stallions of Lord Sesshoumaru.’
“We servants receive training, beautiful clothing, shoes, food, and nice quarters from our Master. I have no regrets on taking my position here as his servant. I would gladly die for my Lord.”

Shippo smacked Choukichi.

“I told you not to ask him that. Forgive my cousin Sven, he is an idiot sometimes.”

Choukichi snorted.

“Well I ain’t the one who wanted to kiss him and know if he had ever been kissed before. How else do you want me to ask him without being rude?”

Shippo blushed and Sven did too.

“If he wanted me to kiss him I am sure we could have figured it out on our own. I have a hard enough time keeping you off me. Like I need someone else scaring the shit out of me when I wake up in the morning you asshole.”

Sven shyly looked away.

“I would not mind……..”

Shippo went to argue with Choukichi and almost missed the comment.

“Are you serious?”

Shippo asked softly.

Sven blushed even more and nodded yes. He had a huge crush on Shippo. He didn’t always care for his cousin’s wild behavior, but Shippo was always so kind. He would be here for many years and after seeing his power Sven’s demon purred at the thought of being closer to the object of his secret affection.

“Well I don’t know what to say……”

Shippo stated softly as he looked at Choukichi who shrugged and smirked feeling pretty proud of himself.

“See, told ya he likes ya.”

Sven felt lips upon his cheek.

“It is ok. You don’t have to…….”

Shippo was about to say he didn’t have to do it just cause Choukichi was being a jerk, but then two soft small hands held his head in place as those big eyes looked at him.

“I want to.”

Shippo leaned in and kissed those full lips. It was just a soft chaste kiss. It was sweet and pleasant. Not as demanding as Choukichi. Gently Shippo practiced soft kisses continuing the assault except with gentle care. Then Shippo licked his lips open and probed Sven’s tongue surprising the boy, but at the same time it was purely innocent. As they both pulled away Choukichi moaned.

“That was so hot……”

That was the day that Choukichi realized he could never have Shippo. He wasn’t really his type. Shippo was lordlier than Choukichi wished to be and needed a softer more docile partner. He did teach him what he could though and so the fun could last for a little while.
