[open-ish] pain is supposed to heal with time

[eaudevamp]

Who: Reign Fear (eaudevamp) & Friends/Anyone
What: Hostage/rescue aftermath
When: 24th onwards
Where: His home, the Institute, Thesa Station, Shades Darker
Warning(s): Sad vampire, mentions of death, self-inflicted pain/BDSM, possible smut?

[ It had been a few days since the hostages were rescued, but Reign didn't feel like he'd achieved much despite managing to save them with the help of other rescuers. It was a combined effort that should have been a success, but the group Reign was in didn't quite manage so. They had guessed the wrong location, and thus lost precious time to find the correct place. But that was done now, and the extremists either escaped or were killed/apprehended, Reign didn't care.

No, he truly did care, but he found it hard to actually do so when some of his friends had ended up as hostages. That, he could deal with, but not death. It was a strange and unfamiliar situation for him to face, and thus it hit him harder than he expected.

For the next few days, Reign lived his life almost like a literally zombie, looking like an undead (though he really wasn't). He mostly shut himself up in his home, spending a bit of time with his pet giraffe, Scorch, or dabbling in his perfume research and creation in an attempt to get his mind off the pain eating into him. Sometimes he replied to messages sent to him, other times they went ignored. And yet life still must go on, so Reign returned to the Institute to work, sometimes stopping by to look into a particular office in the hopes of seeing a certain demon. But it wasn't enough.

So when travelling up to Thesa Station was finally available, Reign headed straight for the pods, standing or sitting in front of one pod containing a blond man. Anyone who noticed would either see him crying, whether silently or wailing his heart out, or mumbling and telling his friend about the events that had occurred. However, the pain didn't lessen, and so at night, Reign would go to Shades Darker for a special event, a night meant for patrons to partake in some BDSM play in one of the backrooms decorated in a dungeon setting. He allowed himself to be blindfolded, his wrists bounded to chains hanging from the ceiling, shirtless and displaying strips of red welts from an earlier session. At least this kind of pain would numb him, even if only for a while. Who's next? ]

Comments

[eaudevamp]

[ Chuuya certainly had experienced deaths before, of his subordinates, or those he knew well, close to him. It wasn't as if Reign was going to compare who had more experience when it came to the dead, but Reign hadn't gone through such incidents on a personal level. Humans died easily, they were so fragile. He just never thought someone as powerful as Mephisto, a demon no less, would be able to escape Death itself.

The pain was like a distant twinge to Reign. He could feel the sting of the cut whenever a brief wind brush against it, but it was a welcoming kind of throb that resonated in his groin. Chuuya's question had Reign's brows furrowing, truly in confusion now. ]

Why? Because I've been bad. I couldn't save them all, so I need to be punished.

[ He answered in the most matter of fact tone. From somewhere behind Chuuya, a patron came up, voicing his displeasure that Chuuya was interrupting his session with Reign. ]

If you're not gonna participate, might as well step aside and let a pro do it.

[thetaintedsorrow]

What? It wasn’t your job to save them all-

[Oh, this person has just picked the wrong ginger to fuck with right now. Chuuya whirls around, all righteous fury as he glares daggers at the patron. Maybe Chuuya is interrupting business, but this is his friend, and Chuuya can’t just sit back and let him be abused by some sleazy asshole, whether Reign agreed to it or not.]

You have five seconds to fuck off before I knock your teeth out.

[He seems pretty upset.]

[eaudevamp]

[ Unfortunately, the patron underestimated Chuuya, thinking that his larger and bigger physique would mean he could easily win in a fist fight. After all, he was more than twice Chuuya's height, how was he going to lose? ]

Oh yeah? You wanna go at it, huh?

[ But Reign was having none of it. He knew the rules of the brothel here. No matter who was in the wrong or who started it. You fight, you're kicked out. ]

Chuuya. Chuuya!

[ The chains holding Reign upright jangled as he tried to move closer, though whether Chuuya heard Reign's pleading voice was debatable, not when the patron was clearly cajoling Chuuya into a fight. If this really happened, the fault will fall on Reign for having been the cause. He didn't want to lose this job. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[It’s true that Chuuya is a notorious hothead, but he’s not completely unreasonable. He wants to punch this guy through a wall, but Reign’s pleas don’t go unanswered, and Chuuya finally stands down, though the ferocity in his eyes still burns bright. He grumbles before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a generous amount of silver.]

Fine. Then I’ll pay to take over here.

[It’s a lot of silver, but it’s worth it in Chuuya’s eyes. He wants some time alone with Reign to reassure him about things, and he doesn’t need this asshole interfering.]

Well? We got a deal?

[eaudevamp]

[ The patron snatched the silvers from Chuuya, weighing it in his hand as if to ascertain its genuineness, then smirked with a shrug of his shoulders. ]

Indeed we do. He's got a nice body, screams well. Have fun, midget.

[ The man couldn't help but throw one last snide remark in, then he was gone, looking for others willing to play with him.

As for Reign, he stared blearily at Chuuya, the smile that formed on his lips barely reaching his eyes. ]

Oh, are you going to punish me now, Chuuya? [ He jerked his head in the direction of a shelf with all kinds of toys. ] You can use those. Maybe a flogger. Or a whip! Do you prefer knifes instead?

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya almost throws caution to the wind so that he can deck the asshole for calling him a midget, but he can’t get Reign fired, so he simply grits his teeth and clenches his fists to stave off his boiling anger until the guy leaves.

His expression turns soft when he looks back at Reign.]

Is that really what you want?

[Will that really help Reign forget about the kidnappings for a little while? Chuuya is no stranger to pain during sex, but this is his friend, and those instruments look so cruel...]

[eaudevamp]

Yes.

[ No.

No, that's not what he really wanted, despite answering Chuuya without hesitation. But if it'll numb the pain in his heart, even for a while, then he'll accept it.

If Chuuya was worried, Reign was going to throw in a lascivious look at the ginger, licking his lips in a seductive show, trying to tempt him. Gosh, Reign truly wasn't in his right mind, even as he stretched his arms up, displaying himself for Chuuya to see. He didn't even care about being embarrassed with his evident hard-on. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya knows damn well that Reign doesn’t truly want this, but it seems like there’s no reasoning with him right now. Instead of choosing one of the toys, Chuuya relents and pulls out a knife from his back pocket before showing it off to Reign. The blade looks wickedly sharp, and the entire thing is quite ornate. The knife of a Mafia executive.]

Can I use this?

[He’s certain the answer is yes, but he’s simply double checking. He slides the cold steel over Reign’s chest lightly; not enough to cut him just yet.]

I trust myself with this more.

[eaudevamp]

[ A shiver ran through Reign at the sight of the knife, the sharpness of it almost tangible, like he could feel it slice through him, leaving a red line for blood to seep out. ]

Yes, Chuuya, you can.

[ Reign sucked in a breath at the sensation of the cool blade against his heated skin, eyes glazing over as he nodded. It will hurt, he knew that much, but he wanted it to be so. As if remembering something, he looked into Chuuya's eyes. ]

If... if it gets too much, my safe word is "time".

[ No one else would have known, but that particular safe word was one that Mephisto had picked for him, and somehow, Reign wanted to keep it, to use it if needed. ]

...Sir.

[thetaintedsorrow]

Got it.

[Were this Dazai, Chuuya would already be carving into his skin, but Reign is someone that Chuuya can clearly see desires pain for an entirely different reason, and he’s going to try his best to take this slow. He kneels in front of Reign, and with a steady hand gently drags the blade from the dip of Reign’s collarbone to his sternum, all the way down to his stomach, stopping right above his pants.]

I’ll help you forget for a while.

[Chuuya cups Reign’s cheek with a gloved hand as the other very carefully traces Reign’s nipple with the point of the knife. He doesn’t know if it’ll be welcome, but Chuuya leans in to capture Reign’s lips in a soft kiss anyway, a stark contrast to the threat of cold steel against Reign’s flesh.]

cw: knife play

[eaudevamp]

[ If Reign still had the blindfolds on, the sensation would have felt more acute. But this worked just as well.

His gaze dropped down to watch the tip of the blade danced across his body, feeling the edge scrape across the skin, catching on a dip here and there, sending tremors down his spine.

So distracted Reign was that it took him by surprise when Chuuya's lips pressed against his. He breathed harshly through his nose, eyes widening a tad even as his mouth opened readily and invitingly to Chuuya. ]

Mmhm...

[ He moaned, the kiss all too soft to his liking, but worked so well against the danger of the knife. His nipple perked up, hardening, as if wanting to feel the press of the tip even more. ]

More, Sir. [ The words were murmured fervently against Chuuya's lips, his tone pleading. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya finds himself growing more and more excited the louder Reign gets, and that plea for more prompts Chuuya to deepen the kiss. He takes Reign’s bottom lip between his teeth and tugs it teasingly, biting down just enough to cause a bit of pain. He’s no stranger to roughness in bed, and after hearing just how eager Reign seems to be for more, Chuuya brings the knife up and makes a small, clean cut over Reign’s collarbone. Beads of crimson bubbles up behind the blade, and Chuuya pulls back from the kiss to take a look at his handiwork.]

Nice.

[He shouldn’t, but he brings the blade to his lips and flicks his tongue out over the edge to taste Reign’s blood. Who’s the vampire here?]

Maybe I’ll get you off if you keep asking for more like that.

[Chuuya slides the blade over Reign’s throat, careful not to actually cut him but still create an air of danger.]

Sound good?

[eaudevamp]

[ The tug to his bottom lip drew a groan from Reign, the stinging bite sending a jolt straight to his cock, making him gasp. What Chuuya was doing now, for Reign, was more than he could ask for.

The thin slice over his collarbone barely register in Reign until he felt the familiar throb, the kind where a wind blew over a cut and you realised there's a wound you hadn't notice before. ]

S-sir...!

[ Damn, if Chuuya weren't human, he would have made a fine vampire. How did Reign's blood taste, huh? Did it taste as sweet? Full-bodied like a wine would?

Feeling the blade pressing against his throat, Reign held his breath, but he couldn't help nodding once, feeling the edge press in just a little bit into the skin. Did Chuuya want a verbal reply? But there was the risk of cutting himself on the knife.

Or was that what Chuuya wanted? Reign would do anything Chuuya asked of him. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Reign’s blood mostly just tasted coppery, but Chuuya has never been into bloodplay for the taste. It’s something much more intimate than that, but it’s also something he can’t quite explain when he’s in the heat of the moment like this.

Chuuya is satisfied with what Reign has given him so far, and he leaves another tiny cut on the underside of Reign’s chin. He has no desire to carve him up, but a few cuts here and there never hurt anyone. Not much, anyway.

He presses the flat of the knife against Reign’s lips, urging him to lick it clean.]

You look nice like this.

[His other hand reaches down to rub Reign through his pants, teasing him and getting a feel for just how excited he is from all this.]

[eaudevamp]

[ That Chuuya was willing to do this for Reign, even enjoying himself, spoke volumes. He felt the blade sliced under his chin, just a tad, and for a moment, Reign wished Chuuya would lick the wound, press his tongue in.

But he obeyed Chuuya's silent order, opening his mouth as his own tongue darted out to lick the blade clean, tasting his own sweet blood. ]

Hmng... Yes, Sir...

[ Another moan slipped out, and Reign toyed with the idea of cutting his tongue on the knife, just barely. But his thoughts were interrupted by the warmth of Chuuya's palm against his tented erection, and Reign couldn't help but arch up into Chuuya's hand, begging for more.

Reign was indeed quite hard now, almost uncomfortable in the confines of his trousers, pre already seeping through the material. ]

Chuuya... [ What he was asking for, Reign wasn't certain, but all he wanted to feel was Chuuya touching him, the danger and fun of the knife, the coppery scent of blood filling the air. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Oh, Chuuya will do plenty more licking, Reign, don’t worry.

Chuuya is quite pleased with Reign’s reaction, and with one hand expertly undoes the other’s pants and frees his flushed, aching cock from its confines. He traces a gloved finger up the underside, teasing Reign with the promise of more touches and delivering another cut, this one right on his shoulder.]

That’s it. Keep saying my name.

[Chuuya’s tongue laps at the cut on Reign’s shoulder, and only now does he realize just how hard he is himself. Reign can’t exactly touch him like this, though, and Chuuya doesn’t want to free him just yet.

Then an idea pops into his head, and he grins at Reign mischievously.]

Bite me. On my neck or my wrist.

[He offers up his wrist first, seeing how Reign will react.]

[eaudevamp]

[ The throbbing sting was nice, like a lancing heat spreading through his entire being. Reign felt awful about getting hard from this "punishment" when he should be in pain, not aroused. But the guilt was something he yearned for as well.

He tilted his head to the side, giving Chuuya more space to play with, hissing when Chuuya licked the wound on his shoulder. ]

Chuuya, Chuuya. Chuuya!

[ He didn't need to be told twice, his hips moving on its own, trying to thrust into Chuuya's hand with little success, a whine forming at the back of his throat.

However, when Chuuya placed his wrist close to his mouth, Reign balked, eyes wide as he shook his head. He should be the one getting punished, why did Chuuya want Reign to bite him. ]

Sir...? No, Sir. It will hurt you.

[ And yet a voice at the back of his mind urged him to give in and sink his fangs into that delicious temptation, to taste that sweet flow of blood. A conflicted look crossed Reign's face, teeth biting his lower lip as if that will stop him from biting Chuuya. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[He quite enjoys the way his name sounds spilling from Reign’s lips, the desperation behind it, and he’d love to hear even more, but it seems like his order for the vampire to bite him isn’t going over well. Funny how Reign was so eager to feel pain, but is reluctant to inflict it, even when asked.

Chuuya doesn’t move his wrist, gaze darkening as he looks down upon Reign.]

That’s what I want.

[Reign isn’t the only one who wants to feel pain right now. Chuuya wants to forget his own failings for a while, and he’s always been curious about those fangs.]

Bite me.

[eaudevamp]

[ That dark look in Chuuya's gaze sent a shiver down Reign's spine. Even as a human who was shorter than Reign, Chuuya certainly made him feel small.

Those two words, and in that tone that demanded his obedience, was the final straw. Reign leaned in and opened his mouth, fangs bared, poised right over the pulse on Chuuya's wrist, then bit down.

The first splash against his tongue had Reign moaning, sucking harder and drinking more. In his mind, one part was screaming for him to stop, but the larger part urged him to take more, more, more! ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya has always had a commanding presence, and his confidence often makes him seem ten feet tall instead of his meager five foot three. He’s always had to prove himself to get others to take him seriously, after all.

Chuuya grunts in pain when those fangs pierce his flesh; of course it hurts, and that’s exactly what Chuuya had wanted. More than the pain, Chuuya focuses on the downright lewd sounds Reign is making right now as he feeds on his blood, and it prompts him to use his free hand to pump Reign’s cock.]

Nnn...good...

[God, Chuuya shouldn’t be getting hard from this, but he totally is, and he wonders how Reign’s mouth would feel around his cock.]

[eaudevamp]

[ Reign made more sounds of pleasure as he thrust his cock into Chuuya's hand, welcoming the relief it brought even as he drank from Chuuya. It was sweet, the taste of Chuuya's blood, heady like wine, and sending warmth through his entire being.

His eyes focused on Chuuya's expression, trembling at the realisation that he had put that look on the other's face. ]

Mmnh...

[ It took considerable effort, but Reign forced himself to let go of Chuuya's wrist, blood dripping from both the puncture wound and his lips. ]

S-sorry, I think I took too much.

[ But that didn't stop the effects of Chuuya's blood on Reign, the vampire's eyes glazed and his breath coming out heavy, a panting mess as Reign continued to move his hips. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

It’s fine...

[Chuuya is more aroused from being bitten than he is lightheaded or dizzy, and without hesitation he leans in to capture Reign’s bloody lips in a heated kiss. His tongue slides along Reign’s, hand never stopping as it pumps his cock over and over, hand now slick with precome.

When he breaks the kiss his own lips are bloody, and he looks like a flushed, panting mess.]

Hang on...

[Chuuya lets go of Reign long enough to unzip his pants and free his own cock, and soon his own achingly hard length is pressed right up against Reign’s as he ruts against him.]

Bite me as much as you want. Wherever you want.

[eaudevamp]

[ When Chuuya kissed him, Reign's first reaction was to pull back, to protest because there was blood in his mouth. But Chuuya's lips was so hot, the kiss so passionate that Reign couldn't do anything but moan in return. He returned the kiss with just as much fervour, hips thrusting in time with Chuuya's strokes.

There was a whine in Reign's voice when Chuuya pulled back, though he realised soon enough just what the other man was planning, and he shuddered as he tried to press closer, wanting to provide more friction as they grind their cocks together. ]

Chuuya...

[ Reign's voice came out breathless, conflicted, almost a whine, even as his gaze dropped to Chuuya's exposed neck. There was a shift in Reign's eyes, often filled with kindness, now replaced with the slightest hint of the predator beneath. Without another word, Reign leaned in and sank his fangs in Chuuya's neck just above that damn collar.

Sorry Chuuya, that spot was going to be harder to hide. ]

[thetaintedsorrow]

[Chuuya could care less about the blood in Reign’s mouth; it’s his own, after all, and he’s tasted it countless times before. He slides his tongue over Reign’s lips as he keeps up the frantic pace of his strokes, hips jerking erratically every now and then. He loves how wrecked Reign sounds saying his name, how he thrusts back desperately against him, how his lips look stained with blood...]

Haahhh fuck...!

[Reign’s teeth sinking into his neck a second time nearly pushes Chuuya right over the edge. He couldn’t give less of a damn if he has a lasting mark.]

Close...!

[Chuuya groans in pleasure, precum sliding down his heated length as his head swims from a mixture of pleasure and blood loss. He wonders just how close Reign is to his peak, and decides to try and get him there quicker by thrusting against him harder, faster, rougher.]

[eaudevamp]

[ If Reign's hands weren't chained up, he would have wrapped his arms around Chuuya, hold him close as he drank from him. But perhaps this was better this way, give Reign a reminder not to take too much, that Chuuya was still in control over what he could receive.

Reign pulled back, Chuuya's blood dripping from his lips even as he tried to lick them clean. It was heady, like wine, and he found himself drawn to the taste. If they weren't careful, he may just drain Chuuya dry. ]

Nngh... Me too.

[ He didn't give Chuuya much time to respond as he dove back in, this time capturing the other's lips in another kiss, hard enough that his fangs likely nicked Chuuya's lips and perhaps his tongue as well.

With Chuuya this close, every movement by the other would brush against the cut wounds on his body, sending a delicious kind of pain straight to Reign's cock. It wouldn't take long now, and a particular twist of Chuuya's wrist, the tightening of his grip, pushed Reign past the brink. He keened into Chuuya's mouth, the sound muffled as he continued to thrust against Chuuya. ]
