"After the Storm"

Mitsuba groggily opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Kou's exhausted form slumped against the bathroom sink. The sound of running water and the steam-filled air made it hard to think clearly, but he could tell they had been in the bathroom for a while. He let out a soft sigh, his body still sore from their late-night escapades. Water droplets sparkled on Kou's skin, and Mitsuba couldn't help but notice the way they glistened on his chest. "Mmm, we fucked all last night... and in the shower... and..." Mitsuba whined, his voice husky from exhaustion. "No sex for the entire month, at least!" He rubbed his temples, trying to ward off the impending headache. Kou stirred, his eyes fluttering open as he gazed up at Mitsuba. "What's wrong, Princess?" he whispered, his voice rough from sleep and exertion. Mitsuba shot him a pleading look. "I'm serious, Kou. I'm exhausted. We need to take a break." He pushed away from the wall and turned off the shower, letting the sudden silence wash over him. Kou sat up straight, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he chuckled. "You're not exactly known for your self-control, Mitsuba," he teased, his voice low and husky. Mitsuba's face went redder as he glared at Kou. "Better stop before we wake up your siblings," he said, trying to deflect Kou's attention. He gestured to the door, his eyes wide with warning. "We can't have them walking in on us like this." Kou's chuckle died down, and he stood up, his movements slow and deliberate. Water dripped from his hair and down his body, pooling on the floor. "You're right, Princess," he said, his voice softer now. "We should be more careful." Mitsuba let out a sigh of relief as Kou wrapped a towel around his waist, his eyes never leaving Mitsuba's face. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the air thick with tension. Finally, Kou broke the silence. "We should get out of here," he said, his voice low and husky. "Get some breakfast, and then... we'll figure out what to do next." Mitsuba nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Sounds like a plan," he said, his voice firm. Kou's eyes crinkled at the corners as he chuckled, a low, husky sound that sent shivers down Mitsuba's spine. He reached out and pulled Mitsuba close, wrapping his arms around him. "I'm not letting you out of my sight for a while, Princess," he whispered, his breath hot against Mitsuba's ear. Mitsuba's heart skipped a beat as he leaned into Kou's touch. Despite his protests, he knew he wasn't ready to take a break from Kou just yet.
