“Listen Arataka, are you sure you want me to do this to you?” Ekubo asked as he gently squeezed Reigen’s lightly-tanned wrist in one hand and a razor blade in the other.
“Yeah, can you hurry up now?” Reigen’s impatient smirk wavered slightly. He had to admit he was a bit nervous. Having someone else cut for you is a very different experience than fantasizing about it.
“Do you always have to be so damn inpatient?” Ekubo scoffed as he brought the blade to rest against the other man's wrist. Ekubo quickly dragged the piece of metal against Reigen’s wrist, only slightly breaking his skin.
Reigen sighed, “It's okay if you go pretty deep, Ekubo.” Reigen looked up to gaze into Ekubo’s eyes, or rather the eyes of the man he was possessing. “Not too bad though, I don't want the scarring being insanely noticeable or hard to cover.”
“Alright..” Ekubo placed the blade a little under the first cut, this time pressing down harder as he swiped the blade across. Reigen’s skin split, it took a second for the cut to fill up with blood before it eventually started spilling down his arm.
“Shit-! Grab the tissue before any blood spills on the rug!” Reigen raised his voice slightly. Ekubo quickly brought his face down to lick Reigen’s wound. “E-Ekubo!?” Reigen’s face quickly reddened.
“What?” The black haired man asked smugly, pulling away from Reigen’s arm.
“You could’ve used a tissue or something..” Reigen covered the lower half of his face with his free hand.
“Ah, sorry Arataka.” They both knew that Ekubo was far from being sorry, but Reigen didn’t really care.
Ekubo made a couple more incisions into his lover’s skin, he was very careful about the depth.
“Arataka, can I take proper care of your wounds now?” Ekubo asked. As much as Ekubo could pretend he didn’t care about his con-artist boyfriend, he really didn’t want his arm getting infected.
“Yeah, that's fine.” Ekubo still held onto Reigen’s wrist as he led him to their bathroom.
Reigen sat on a stool as Ekubo hovered over him.
“This is gonna sting so don’t get mad at me.” Ekubo stated bluntly as he wiped over Reigen’s wrist with hydrogen peroxide on a wad of tissues.
“Come on Ekubo, I’m not a child.” Reigen’s voice wavered as he tried to act nonchalant about the stinging. Ekubo simply hummed in response as he began wrapping Reigen’s arm in bandages. It was nice to be handled with such love and care, much different than when reigen frantically slapped bandages over his self-made cuts.
“Are you feeling okay ‘taka?” Ekubo asked when he finished taking care of his lover’s arm.
“Yeah, just tired.” Reigen was too embarrassed to admit the real reason he was spacing out.
Ekubo held Reigen’s face in his hand as he brought himself close to press a small kiss to Reigen’s lips.
Ekubo pulled away from the kiss but kept his hand on Reigen’s face.“Are you feeling up to watch a movie, or do you just want to go to bed?”
“A movie would be nice.” It would take Reigen a while to regain his cocky persona after a moment of vulnerability. Reigen gently pushed his lover’s hand away as he stood up.
Ekubo stayed close to Reigen the rest of the night, he made sure not to leave him alone. Ekubo knew subconsciously it was out of guilt but he couldn't be bothered to think about that too much, after all his partner looked very content.
