Chapter Text
Heizou comes back from his mission successful. This comes as a surprise to no one, and as usual, no one bats an eye at his arrival. Despite this, things are different now. Heizou is nervous. His walk is less confident than before, and his face has a noticeable flush to it. The promise of what is to come is the only thing on Heizou’s mind, and his gaze finds his god seated on the almighty throne.
During the mission, Heizou was distracted, horribly so. His head was filled with thoughts of Kuni and what they did together. It was to the point that he nearly missed an important clue - something that, if missed, could have led to dire consequences. He’s certain that his misstep has already been reported to Shouki no Kami. All that’s left is to await judgment from his god.
Uncharacteristically, Heizou kneels when he reaches the dais, averting his eyes. While not fearful for his life, Heizou knows that his god still likely isn’t pleased with him. He remains as still as possible, as if that will protect him from divine punishment. Shouki no Kami is silent for several moments, before he speaks a phrase that chills Heizou down to his bones.
“Everyone, leave us.”
The room empties quickly, leaving Heizou as the sole human left. This is either about to go very well for him, or end in disaster. His breathing becomes irregular and he clenches his fists in anxiety. The silence is getting to him, but he doesn’t dare break it. Shouki no Kami is the only one who can decide what happens next.
“Rise, Heizou.”
The use of his name has Heizou relaxing, despite the slightly disappointed tone that’s being used. It makes him feel safe, somehow, the familiarity reminding him that he’s his god’s favorite. He stands, daring to make eye contact for the first time.
“My lord–“
“Kuni.”
“Kuni, I can explain–“
“Shh..”
Heizou’s jaw snaps shut and he stares at Kuni with wide eyes. The god stares back, expressionless, before there’s a subtle uptick to his lips. Heizou follows the movement, uncertain of what it means, but hopeful that Kuni isn’t too upset with him.
“I’m surprised, my dearest follower. It’s unlike you to make mistakes.”
“I… I know.”
Heizou tries not to preen at being called Kuni’s dearest, but it gets to his head anyways. It must show on his face, because Kuni chuckles, gesturing for Heizou to come closer. He takes a step, and then another, until he’s within grabbing distance. Kuni reaches down from his throne, cupping Heizou’s cheek gently.
“Were you distracted? Were you thinking of me?”
“Y-yes..”
“Tsk, how predictable. I can’t have you going soft on me, Heizou. You’re an asset.”
“It.. it won’t happen again. I swear.”
“I think we’d better make certain of that, don’t you think?”
Dread fills Heizou, and he fears that Kuni is about to deny him the opportunity to please him again. Heizou is perfectly willing to grovel for what he wants if it comes down to it, and he opens his mouth to plead with Kuni before he’s cut off. His god’s nails dig subtly into his cheek, reminding him of who is in charge.
“Listen to me very carefully. Okay?”
“Y-yes, Kuni.”
“You’re going to undress for me. I want to see what I’m working with.”
Heizou feels himself flush heavily at the command, but he doesn’t dare protest. When Kuni releases his cheek, Heizou begins stripping slowly. He knows that he’s attractive, but his beauty is nothing compared to Kuni’s divinity. Being before his god as he sheds his layers of clothes causes Heizou to become shy, and he can’t bring himself to meet Kuni’s eyes as he removes his underwear, leaving himself naked for judgment.
Kuni hums lowly, and Heizou can feel his god’s gaze roaming over his body. He hopes, he prays that he’s up to Kuni’s standards. Every insecurity Heizou has ever had about himself bubbles up to the surface, and he inhales sharply. Who is Heizou to think that he has anything a god could want? Who is Heizou to assume he deserves to stand before Kuni like this? Who is Heizou to–
“You’re beautiful.”
Heizou’s breath hitches and his eyes dart up to meet Kuni’s gaze.
“I-I’m unworthy of such praise.”
“Are you doubting my word?”
“No! N-never, I wouldn’t dare–“
“Then hush, my dearest follower.”
Heizou shuts up quickly, despite more protests threatening to bleed from his tongue. His god’s word is law, so if he says that Heizou is beautiful, then surely it must be true. The insecurities are still there, but they’re being swiftly replaced by the thought of Kuni wanting him. Such a thing is all consuming, just like everything about his god.
“Do a small spin for me. I want to see all of you.”
Not trusting himself to speak, Heizou nods, and does as he’s told. He turns slowly, once, twice, and then a third time. Whenever he meets Kuni’s eyes, his god appears enraptured, lips parted slightly and pupils darkened. Heizou can feel heat beginning to course through his body at being watched like this, and he bites his lip in an effort to keep quiet.
When Heizou finally stops spinning, he feels dizzy. Not because of his turns, but because Kuni has such an intense look on his face, directed right at him. Subtly, Heizou tries to clench his thighs together, but Kuni’s eyebrows raising proved that he was unsuccessful in hiding it. Unable to keep himself together anymore, Heizou lets out a soft whine.
“Awe, my cute little human. Are you needy? Do you want to be touched?”
“Y-yes.. please, yes..”
“Hmm. Come sit in my lap then, your back to my chest.”
Not daring to question the request, Heizou complies. He steps up onto the dais before sitting on the throne with as much grace as he can muster. Kuni’s hands immediately find Heizou’s hips, groping him, before feeling down his legs. The feeling sends more heat through Heizou, and he does his best to not start panting with how excited he’s becoming.
“Here.”
Heizou’s legs are moved until they’re positioned on either side of Kuni’s knees. Like this, cold air is hitting his pussy and Heizou gasps, realizing just how wet he is. It’s embarrassing, and spread as he is, he doesn’t have the ability to close his legs. Heizou is trapped and exposed. This is the hottest situation he’s ever been in.
Kuni chuckles and Heizou feels the vibration down his spine. Nails dig into Heizou’s thighs, and Kuni’s lips find his neck, kissing it. Having his god’s lips on him sends tiny shocks through his body, and the sensation makes Heizou feel like he’s going crazy. It’s just pleasurable enough to be teasing, and Heizou becomes a gasping mess the longer it goes on.
“Who knew you could be so pliant?”
“K-Kuni..”
“You were so confident with me last week. Is it because you’re afraid of your punishment?”
Truthfully, Heizou had forgotten all about his mission. Being reminded causes him to tense up, and Kuni lets out a delighted laugh.
“I’m going to show you what happens when you disappoint me.”
“Please, I.. it won’t happen again.. Kuni–“
“You sound so pretty when you beg.”
Kuni’s tongue laves over Heizou’s neck before biting down, marking him. It’s painful, but it also feels so, so good. When Heizou tries to squirm, Kuni’s nails dig further into his thighs, enough to make him whimper. Everything feels so good, and he knows that he must be obscenely slick by now. It doesn’t matter what kind of attention Kuni gives him, Heizou always starts to begin feeling high off of it.
“Part of your punishment is that you’re not allowed to get me off today.”
Kuni sucks on the mark he’s made, deepening the bruise left there. The sensation is enough to make Heizou shake, and no words come to him to respond. He’s upset about not being able to touch Kuni like he so desperately wants to, but the other part of him is tensing up, preparing for whatever else Kuni has in store for him.
“The second part is…”
One of Kuni’s hands slides upwards, teasing Heizou’s folds and causing him to gasp.
“…I get to touch you however I want, for however long I want. You just have to sit here, be pretty, and take it.”
There has to be a catch. Heizou knows this, but his mind is too scattered to be able to figure out the downside. Instead, he moans, arching into the feather light touch Kuni is giving him. Lips graze his ear and Kuni whispers to him, tone dripping with danger.
“How can you expect to convince me of your feelings when you make such senseless mistakes, Heizou?”
It takes a moment for him to realize what Kuni is talking about, his brain slow from the fingers still teasing him.
“B-but I caught it in time–“
“And what of next time? Hm? These people you catch, they want to kill me. You understand that, don’t you?”
“..Yes…”
Kuni bites down on Heizou’s lobe harshly before tonguing over it. All of the sensations make it hard to focus, despite how much Heizou wants to contribute to the conversation being had. Kuni’s hand lifts away from Heizou’s pussy, and he’s about to protest when it comes down, open palmed, slapping him right on his cunt. Shock causes Heizou to tense up and he gasps, his head thrown back and resting on Kuni’s shoulder.
“F-fuck..”
“You don’t deserve to worship me, my dearest follower. You don’t get to touch me with a performance like that.”
“But I–“
Heizou’s pussy is slapped again, harder this time. He cries out, struggling to close his legs despite the position preventing him from doing so. Kuni widens his knees, causing Heizou’s thighs to burn with the strain.
“I don’t want to hear excuses. The only thing out of that pretty mouth of yours should be apologies.”
“I-I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Kuni, please..”
“Hmm..”
Kuni hums, going back to gentle caresses and teasing. It has Heizou disoriented, and he gasps when two fingers tease his entrance. He’s wet, embarrassingly so, and when Kuni decides to slide his fingers in, they go easily. They’re curled and then scissored, stretching Heizou open.
“Hah.. fuck..”
“So vulgar, and you want to kiss me with that mouth?”
“I-I wouldn’t dare. I don’t deserve–“
“You’re right, you don’t.”
Kuni kisses along his neck, tonguing over the mark he made.
“But if you grovel well enough, I might be tempted to kiss you anyway.”
“Kuni.. Kuni please. I know I’ve disappointed you, but I.. I’ll do anything for a kiss from you. I-I didn’t even know I could ever possibly… it would be a blessing.”
Heizou hears Kuni’s breath hitch, and internally he soars with hope. A kiss from his god is something Heizou hasn’t ever dared to think about, but now it’s the only thing on his mind. Even with fingers inside of him, Heizou just wants Kuni’s lips.
With his free hand, Kuni grips Heizou’s hair and forcibly turns his head. He has to crane his neck, but the reward is worth it. Without hesitation, Kuni kisses him deeply, his tongue pressing into Heizou’s mouth with ease. The kiss is charged with electricity that causes Heizou’s hair to stand on end, and he gasps into it. Kuni shows no signs of stopping though, and Heizou’s tongue is zapped. Pleasure and pain mix together, and Heizou’s eyes roll back as he moans.
Kuni’s fingers pull out as he breaks the kiss, and Heizou turns to see them covered in slick. His eyes widen as Kuni summons a small amount of electricity between his slickened fingers, the threat clear. Heizou lets out a high pitched whine, half heartedly trying to get away as the fingers lower back down, finding Heizou’s clit.
“F-fuck, please no–”
The electricity shoots through Heizou’s body and he cries out, unsure if it’s painful or pleasurable. Despite Heizou’s protests, Kuni doesn’t relent, increasing the energy behind his power. It becomes more painful than anything else, but still, Heizou feels an undercurrent of pleasure. Everything becomes overwhelming all at once, and Heizou closes his eyes, crying out as he struggles to close his legs. It gets to the point that his body gives out, cumming with no build up other than the electrostimulation. Heizou opens his mouth and wails, his voice echoing off of the walls as Kuni’s fingers finally pull away.
In the aftermath, Heizou is left in a daze, disoriented and confused. He feels as though his soul has just left his body, and his senses take their time to come back. The first thing he notices is a hand petting his hair, and he hears a soft hum. It’s Kuni - at least he thinks it is - but complex thoughts are beyond him right now.
“Poor dear. You couldn’t handle a little shock?”
“Mnn..?”
“Oh, I’ve fucked you stupid. How delightful.”
Lips find Heizou’s neck, sucking in another mark. Kuni’s voice is low, like a predator about to strike. Through the haze that’s become Heizou’s mind, he recognizes the danger, and decides to welcome it. He moans when Kuni bites down again, and a part of him hopes that he’ll be littered with marks by the end of this. Being claimed by his god is the highest honor, and he’ll wear each bruise with pride.
Kuni’s fingers trail from Heizou’s chest down to his stomach. They aren’t electrified, but the threat is clear. Heizou is about to be shocked again, and badly. He smells the ozone before he feels the zap, tingling pain and pleasure going straight to his pussy. He’s already so sensitive from cumming that all he can manage is the opening of his mouth, no sound escaping.
Heizou’s head rests on Kuni’s shoulder again, and his god’s other hand slides down from his head to his neck. At this, Heizou closes his eyes, knowing what will come next. His blood flow is restricted, and then electricity shoots down his body. Heizou’s ears ring from the intensity, and tears spring at the edges of his eyes. He manages a wet gasp, but his body refuses to move otherwise. Kuni has him trapped, utterly and thoroughly.
Zap after zap courses through Heizou’s body, and he becomes a livewire of energy. He knows that his god is made of the storms in the sky, but feeling it first hand is exhilarating. Heizou is on the precipice of pleasure and pain, and all it takes is one well placed zap to his pussy to have him cumming again. He sobs, shaking weakly as Kuni refuses to relent. A part of him wonders if his body will give out from such treatment, and fuck, that would be such an incredible way to go.
Death by Shouki no Kami’s pleasurable hands.
Just when Heizou thinks that might just become a reality, the electrical current ceases, giving him a modicum of reprieve. However, this doesn’t last long and Kuni’s hand raises up before coming down hard on Heizou’s pussy. Too weak to even move, Heizou lets out a sob as he pathetically begins to squirt. He makes a mess of Kuni’s robes, an obscene amount of liquid leaking out of him.
Heizou takes in a deep, shuddering breath when Kuni decides to give him a break, and slowly clarity begins to come back to him. The haze in his mind parts, and he’s able to let out a weak groan. Kuni’s hand on his neck returns to petting his hair, and Heizou nuzzles into the touch, comforted by the soft gesture. His cheek is kissed, and when Heizou turns his head, his lips are next. Kuni kisses him gently, as if he is precious, and Heizou gradually begins to relax.
When the kiss breaks, Kuni pulls, a smile on his lips.
“Humans are so fragile.. But you are hardier than most. You can take anything I give you, can’t you?”
Still too disoriented to speak, Heizou gives a tiny nod. He’ll take everything Kuni decides to give him, and then some.
“You took your punishment so well, I’m impressed. I think I ought to reward you for your resilience.”
“Hmnn?”
Kuni chuckles, and then begins repositioning them. Limbs are moved, and Heizou can barely process what’s happening until he’s being scooped up bridal style, limp in Kuni’s arms. Instead of feeling embarrassed, Heziou basks in the attention he’s receiving, managing to smile up at Kuni happily. He has no idea what’s going on or what’s about to happen, but he’s certain it won’t be all that bad. Kuni said that he was going to get a reward, after all.
The grand doors to the throne room open of their own accord, and Kuni steps out with Heizou in tow. There are many people who are still loitering in the halls, and they all stare at the two of them as Kuni walks through the crowd. Heizou’s naked form is mostly concealed by the flowing fabric of Kuni’s sleeves, not that he minds. He’s too fucked out the properly assess the situation he’s in. All he knows is that Kuni is giving him his undivided attention, and that’s more than he’s ever dared to dream for.
They head towards Kuni’s private wing - a place where even servants aren’t allowed to go. Heizou does his best to remain still, but he can’t help how his eyes wander. This is a place that very few humans have ever dared to approach, and he’s being invited in freely of Shouki no Kami’s own accord. Heizou knows this is a blessing, and he has a hard time finding any words to express how he’s feeling right now.
Shocked, perhaps.
Or maybe reverent.
Either way, he remains silent as Kuni carries him through the hallways and towards an ornate door. Just like with the throne room, it opens automatically, and Kuni steps inside. They enter what is clearly a bedroom decorated to Kuni’s tastes, and there’s a large bed residing in the center of it. Heizou is laid down gently, and the sheets are incredibly soft. He watches as Kuni turns the lights down low, before joining him on the bed. Kuni rests his head on a pillow next to Heizou, and the two of them are silent for a long time.
It’s Kuni who eventually speaks, voice soft, and Heizou dares to think even fond.
“You’re still in trouble, and you’re still not in love with me.”
“Heh, if you want to punish me more, then be my guest.”
“Perhaps later. You need rest.”
“Will you stay?”
“You’re in my bed, dearest. I’m not going anywhere.”
Heizou’s heart skips a beat, and he can’t keep the smile off of his face. Despite his exhaustion, he leans in, boldly asking for a kiss. Much to his delight, Kuni closes the distance and kisses him gently. Even now, there’s a slight taste of ozone, but Heizou can’t bring himself to mind. It’s a part of who Kuni is, and therefore it’s another part of him that Heizou loves.
“I know you still don’t believe me, but..”
Kuni doesn’t interrupt him, instead waiting for Heizou to say the words.
“I love you.”
Heizou waits for Kuni to deny him once again, but the protest never comes. Instead, Kuni stares at Heizou with a pondering look, as if he’s reassessing the situation. Heizou finds himself holding his breath, surprised by the break in routine. Could Kuni be about to accept him? After all of these years of pining, could he have made a breakthrough finally?
“...Perhaps in time, I will believe you. As for right now, I still think that you don’t.”
Heizou exhales slowly, not disappointed as he ought to feel. Instead, there is a hope in his chest that burns with determination.
“No matter how long it takes, I’ll convince you. If it takes my entire life, then so be it.”
“In all my years, I’ve never met someone as stubborn as you.”
“It’s one of my best traits.”
“Questionable.”
As the two of them exchange banter, Heizou feels his body getting heavier. Being fucked within an inch of his life has definitely taken a toll. Heizou stifles a yawn, but Kuni catches sight of it anyway.
“You need rest.”
“...Promise you’ll be here when I wake up?”
“I promise, dear.”
Heizou closes his eyes, mumbling more words as he tries to stay awake a little longer.
“I’m afraid.. of this all being some wonderful dream I’m about to wake up from..”
“Your fears are unfounded. I won’t leave your side.”
Kuni’s voice is firm, and Heizou finds comfort in it. If his god says that he will be here when he wakes up, then surely it must be true. The last thing Heizou feels before he drifts away are lips pressed gently to his forehead, and a protective arm around his body.
Heizou knows that today happened because of a mistake that he made. It’s not like him to get distracted, and he knows that he can’t afford to do so again. The punishment was fitting to the crime as far as he’s concerned, and while he loved every moment of it, he knows that the point of it was to force Heizou back into line. Heizou is lucky to be favored by Shouki no Kami, and that’s the only reason why he wasn’t killed for his incompetence.
In the future, Heizou will have to be sure to utilize his skills to the best of his abilities. He won’t make another blunder like he did on this past mission. Kuni’s life is on the line, and that’s not something he’s willing to gamble. Just as Kuni protects him while he sleeps, Heizou will continue to hunt down dissenters and quell rebellions as they form. It’s the least he can do for the one he loves so completely.
Despite Kuni’s denial of his feelings, Heizou can’t help but feel happy. He meant what he said to Kuni; even if it takes his entire life, Heizou will continue to profess his love until it’s accepted. His god may be unwilling to call it what it is, but what they have is the closest thing to love as far as Heizou’s concerned. Now that he’s made it into Kuni’s bed, he’s going to ensure that he never leaves it again. Only he will be able to please Kuni so thoroughly. Only he will know what it feels like to be kissed by his god.
Heizou will prove his love for Shouki no Kami, no matter what challenges stand in his way.
