Chapter Text
The ride to V’s apartment was simple enough, they sat listening to the soft classical music coming through the radio for the most part. V decided he was diving, as to let Takemura’s shoulder heal, which meant at every gear shift, and every red light, V’s hand wandered.
He grabbed Takemura’s hand occasionally, running his thumb over the back of it, sometimes he would place a gentle hand on Takemura’s thigh, just letting it rest.
But the closer they got to the apartment, the touches got heavier. A hand on the thigh, slowly trailing up and down before moving inwards, Takemura leaned his head against the window, feigning disinterest, but a flush on his cheeks gave him away.
V didn’t move any closer, he just kept stroking antagonising close before moving back down.
A small gasp left Takemura’s mouth as V stretched his thumb on a stroke upwards, grazing ever so softly onto Takemura’s growing heat. But as soon as it started it was over, V pulled his hand away and turned off the car.
“We’re here, come on.” V quickly opened the door stepping out into the cool air, watching as Takemura slowly left the car, a flush clearly stained on his cheeks. V just smiled and started walking to the lift, not looking back to see if Takemura followed.
Calling the lift V finally looked back, Takemura had followed him and was standing about a meter away, looking at everything but V.
A ping pulled V’s attention back to the lift, as he stepped on, hitting the floor number. Takemura stepped in after, standing at the opposite side.
The door slid shut and before it had even started moving V had turned to Takemura and quickly closed the distance between them. Grabbing him by the waist, V pushed Takemura up against the advertisement screens before latching onto his neck and pushing a knee hard between his thighs.
Takemura makes a strangled noise in his throat, as he clenches onto V’s shoulders, “V! What are you doing?!”
V paused momentarily, his knee still firmly pressed into Takemura’s groin, “What do you think?” V chuckled before winking and moving back to Takemura’s bruised neck.
“But, ah we’re still in public!” V stops again grabbing Takemura’s chin and tilting it to meet his eyes. “Trust me Goro, they’ve seen much worse in this lift.” He growled out, the ride over seemed to effect V just as much as it did Takemura, His eyes were now dark with lust and pants tighter than they once were.
“Fuck V! Please, just a minute more,” Takemura begged, he did not want to bring any more attention than necessary to them.
V’s knee dropped, and he leaned in close, his lips brushing on Takemura’s ear, “Fine, but I want you to fuck me on every piece of furniture I own.”
V stepped away from Takemura, taking his original spot on the other side of the lift.
Not long after the door slide open again, and V was out walking the short distance to his door, not stopping.
Making his way to the door V quickly unlocked it, stepping inside, and letting Takemura shut it on his way in.
V walked to his bed, quickly taking off his shirt and stripping out of his jeans.
“Hey kid, what do you think you’re doin’?” Johnny lounged casually on V’s bed, tilting his sunglasses down. “Fuck off Johnny.” No way kid, you’ve already fucked this guy enough for my tastes, not a chance I’m letting you do it again.” Johnny crossed his arm, pretending to settle into V’s bed.
“Johnny, I swear to god, if you don’t fuck off now I’m going to burn your Porsche!”
“Like fuck you will, you love that car as much as I do!” “Fucking try me Johnny!”
Takemura stood, watching as V stood motionless for a minute before suddenly V was grabbing the closest thing and throwing it against the wall of his bed.
“V?” Takemura tried softly taking a step forward, but V couldn’t hear him over the yelling contest in his head.
“V I’m not letting you bend over for this dog anymore!” “Fuck off Johnny! You’re just jealous I can still fuck!”
“As if! You couldn’t fuck even if you wanted too, you just bend over like the slut you are and get ploughed!”
V’s eyes stung and tears of shame and anger welled up, “Screw you Johnny, SCREW YOU!” V screamed aloud, V turned, sprinting to the bathroom, and grabbing the pills Vic gave him and downing a handful.
“Shit, kid I’m…“ Johnny had already gone when V finished choking down the medicine.
Takemura rushed to V’s side, V leant over the sink trying not to puke the pills back up.
Takemura rubbed circles on V’s back trying to soothe him, although Takemura was unsure what had just happened.
Tears flowed freely from V’s eyes, a sob escaping his lips was all it took for him to turn and throw himself into Takemura’s arms, sobs wracking his body, unable to stop.
“Shh, it’s okay V, what happened? What’s wrong?” Takemura had his arms wrapping trying around V’s shaking body, unsure on what he could do to help.
“It’s okay V, come on let’s lie down,” Takemura manoeuvres them to V’s bed, keeping his arms tight around V’s body. He slowly laid down, holding V flush against his body.
It took a while, but slowly V stopped shaking, his hands were on top of Takemura’s, tracing lazy patterns into his skin.
“Are you feeling better V?” Takemura shuffled a bit, but kept his arms tight around V’s waist, “Yes, I’m sorry Goro,”
“There’s nothing to apologise about V, It’s okay.” Takemura placed a gentle kiss to the back of V’s neck.
V turned in Takemura’s grip, their chests now flush together, he leaned up and placed a timid kiss to his lips.
Takemura smiled, “If you want to, we can talk about it?” V looked down, “It’s just Johnny, I mean the construct.”
Takemura’s smile faulted but he continued, “I see, I spoke to them briefly before, they did not seem to like me.” He tried joking.
V smiled sadly, “Ha, yeah, he doesn’t really, he said he didn’t want me, um, sleeping with you again.”
V looked back up to Takemura “So I told him where he could shove it, but…”
“It’s okay V you don’t have to,” Takemura suggested, “I know, it ended with him telling me I’m practically a slut and not to sleep with you again.” A blush covered V’s cheeks, embarrassed he looked down again.
“You know that’s not true V, just because you like sex doesn’t make you a… I mean there is nothing wrong with, ah, or you know…” Takemura trailed off looking embarrassed himself for his lack of vocabulary.
V laughed, shaking slightly in Takemura’s hold. “You’re amazing Goro, you know that?” Takemura sighed in relief, his shamed fading in making V smile.
“I know he didn’t mean it, but it still hurt, ya’ know? I just… I really like you Goro.” V looked into Takemura’s eyes searching for some reaction or answer.
“Me too V, me too.” Takemura leaned in to kiss V again softly, feeling V relax into him. Pulling back Takemura’s eyes softened, taking in V’s red eyes and marked face.
“I am sorry V, I have been selfish. I forgot to think about your situation, you are going through something indescribable.”
“Hmm, it’s okay Goro” V looked up, “I did kind of come into your life and tear it apart.”
“It is still no excuse, even if you did not steal the relic Arasaka-San will still be dead and I would be tossed away like garbage. To be honest with you, I am grateful for what you did.”
“Really? How could you be grateful for me stealing from Arasaka?”
“If you didn’t steal the relic, I would never have met you.” Takemura looks down at V a smile playing on his lips. “You would have never shown me all the wrong Arasaka has done, and you wouldn’t’ve been able to make me see that there is more to life than honour.”
Takemura placed his hand on V’s face. Looking at the bruise he had given him a few days prior. Leaning it to kiss softly as the bruise Takemura whispered, “I’m sorry for what I did, I never wanted to hurt you”
“I know Goro, I know…”
