Settling down

Days went by and neither Kross nor Raguna went about confronting one another, Kross had barely left his house to begin with. Now Kross left his house so little it was beginning to worry a lot of the town's people, Rita had asked Raguna on one of his daily runs about it, she had received not much more then an embarrassed flushed and an 'I don't know'. Anette had been trying to get Kross to answer his door, and he hadn't even done that, after a week and a half of this Anette got frustrated and opened the door herself.

"Kross, why aren't you answering your door?!" She called into the house. A sudden clamber from the bedroom alerted her to where he likely was and she followed the sound of crashes. His bedroom door swung open with a creak and Anette looked startled at his room, there were towers of boxes everywhere and apparently one had been knocked over by a flustered Kross. Books and tools were scattered across the floor, Kross was on his knees trying to clean it all up. She sighed and walked over, touching his shoulder lightly, Kross jerked slightly and looked up at her. He was extremely pale, bags under his eyes and a shadow of stubble across his chin.

"I..I'm sorry Anette, I got so caught up in housecleaning and..." She smacked him on the head and puffed out her cheeks childishly.

"Don't give me that, your house is barely the same size as half the houses here, and it's been almost two weeks Kross. You look horrible, have you been sleeping at all, or eating even? Rita says she hasn't seen you at all, they were ready to send out a search party." Anette said and knelt down beside him, setting her bag down. Kross lowered his head, his long hair hiding any expression he might have been making, a low sigh coming from him. "At least tell me why your doing this," she sighed when she received no answer. "Fine, then I'm making you shave, and get cleaned up, then I'm dragging you to the bar for dinner." Anette announced and Kross jolted, pleas and excuses spilling from his lips.

"Nope, now up you go, shower, shave and change your clothes, you stink." Anette said, dragging him to his feet and pushing him towards his bathroom.


Kross walked with Anette towards the bar, he had put up a fight but she was pleased to finally have him out for once. She slowed as they walked through the woods right before shopping district.

"You still not going to tell me why you've been hiding away?" Anette tried again, Kross remained silent and she sighed. "Fine, but hiding from your problems never solves anything you know!" She pulled him up the steps and into the bar, Rita let out a cheer from the bar, waving them over. Anette smiled and kept her hand attached to his the whole time, making sure he couldn't escape, then seated him beside her.

"Nice to see your still alive Kross, we were pretty worried when no one had seen you for over a week." Kross nodded, still looking a bit worse for wear.

"I was doing cleaning," he mumbled and Rita laughed.

"Alright, well foods on me, looks like you haven't had a good meal since you came in here with Raguna!" Rita laughed and walked off to cook. Anette turned to Kross, he was avoiding her gaze, staring at the items displayed On t he back shelf.

"You haven't been here since your dinner with Raguna? What happened Kross?" She pet his hand and he ducked his head to hide his expression again.


Raguna walked up to the bar, he had had a long day on the field today and his bones ached lightly from all the hard work. He definitely wasn't feeling up to cooking tonight, and pushed the bar door open, his eyes widened at the figure sitting at the bar. Kross was hunched over, Anette clinging close and whispering to him. A sick feeling swirled around in Raguna's gut and he was just about to turn around and walk right back out, when someone called his name.

"Hey raguna, come join me for a few drinks!" Turner yelled, he was always trying to get Raguna to do this. Usually Raguna would just politely decline, though this time as he looked over, his and Kross's eyes caught and he turned, racing out of the bar. Turner looked a bit surprised, but in the end went back to his table to drink more wine. Kross stood up and left Anette at the bar, walking quickly to catch up to Raguna, his body moving before his mind could catch up. Anette had called after him, but he didn't process that, his mind was focused on Raguna, as he raced after the boy along the dirt path. Once they were in front of Raguna's house, said man whirled around to face Kross, his eyes narrowed in annoyance.

"Why are you following me?" Kross stopped, and just stood there, trying to will his mind to catch up with him. Raguna sighed and went to leave, Kross grabbed his arm to stop him, a memory of that night making him freeze. He had done the same then, his face flushing suddenly, Raguna must have came to the same conclusion as he had frozen as well. "K-Kross?" he almost whimpered, the moon was overhead now, casting shadows about the area. Kross thought of how lovely Raguna looked under the moonlight, moving close to him, but Raguna flinched away.

"That night, we had drank too much, but if given the courage I would've done it otherwise." Kross whispered out and Rauguna flushed. "I was embarrassed after everything, I was certain I had forced myself onto you, I didn't want you to find out how I felt that way." he pulled Raguna close, and held him to his chest. Raguna didn't fight, his body limp against Kross, the sound of a wind picking up in the leaves was all that was heard.

"I had thought you regretted it," Raguna said finally, "It seemed to be confirmed how you avoided me and everyone else. I thought you were ashamed of what we had done, then when I saw you with Anette..." Kross pulled Raguna back suddenly and stared into his eyes.

"I don't feel that way about her, she is one of my few friends, but you are the only one I care about like this." Kross was blushing dark by now, his heart beating quickly in his chest. Raguna smiled softly and leaned close, pressing his lips to Kross's, they stumbled back into Raguna's house a few minutes later. A shriek startled them both and Raguna jolted away from Kross, whirling around, Mist stood there wide eyed.

"Ra-Raguna? What..I mean," Kross glared at her and pulled Raguna close.

"Get out now" he practically growled and Mist raced past them and out the door. Raguna felt a bit bad, but that thought was demolished as Kross pressed him back onto the table and thrust his tongue into his mouth. The moans came out muffled and Raguna was dimly aware of his pants being yanked off, and being laid onto his table. Letters scattered onto the floor, and his vase was knocked over, thankfully not shattering. Kross dropped his own pants and pulled back, pressing fingers to Raguna's mouth and commanding him to suck. Raguna happily obliged, and after awhile Kross pulled them out with a groan, then Kross climbed on top of him. he pressed his fingers into his opening, scissoring them and moaning, Raguna's eyes glued to Kross, his face flushing at the lewd display. After a few minutes Kross lowered himself, guiding Raguna's erection into his hole and groaning.

"Ah, Raguna," he panted out as he dropped his hips, sheathing Raguna in him completely. Kross and Raguna both cried out, and Kross was quick to begin moving. The table creaked beneath them and Raguna fainted worried it would break, but all thoughts vanished when Kross cried out loudly, having brushed his prostate. Raguna was gripping Kross's hips, helping him moving, thrusting up each time Kross thrust down, aiming for that spot he knew drove Kross wild.

Kross's fingernails dug into Raguna's sides, leaving little red marks as he slammed down harder, moaning loudly, throwing his head back and crying out. His member bobbed in front of the farmer and he found himself licking his lips, and reaching out and stroking Kross. At this Kross's hips began to move faster, and precum drizzled out over Raguna's fingers. Kross slammed down a few more times before cumming hard across his belly and Raguna's fingers, Raguna was soon to follow, kross's insides squeezing it out of him. Kross watched with half lidded eyes as Raguna brought his hand to his mouth, licking it clean and watching Kross's reaction.

"Raguna," he whispered and laid down on his chest, panting lightly. "I think I've fallen for you at some point, and I don't believe I'm willing to let you go." A small laugh rumbled out of Raguna's chest and he stroked Kross's hair, moving to sit up.

"I don't think I have much of a problem with that, now come, the bed is much comfier I'm sure."
