“What happened?” Haruka kept his voice soft for Eli, but he had his eyes on the rapidly paling Kamakura, making sure he knew exactly what was about to happen to him.
Eli tried to smile, but the swelling on his face made it lopsided. “It’s not as bad as it looks, I swear. I have an ice pack.” He shook a plastic bag in Haruka’s face.
“You shouldn’t have gone skiing without me.” Or anywhere. Ever.
“You can stop glaring at Kamakura-san like that. He wasn’t even there when it happened. And I wasn’t skiing when I got it.”
“Where was he?”
Evidently fear hadn’t been enough to keep Kamakura vigilant. He would beg to go to Russia before Haruka was done with him.
“Standing outside the changing room, giving me privacy.”
Kamakura was kneeling on the floor now. His head touched the carpet, causing his voice to be muffled. Haruka wasn’t entirely certain if he was doing it because he was afraid of Haruka, or so he could hide the coffee Eli had been drinking behind a table leg. “I should have gone inwith him, sir.”
“No, you shouldn’t,” Haruka and Eli both chorused.
If Haruka wasn’t allowed to follow Eli into a changing room (he had a tendency to get them both distracted), then neither was anyone else.
“Let’s get you to the hospital.” Haruka lifted Eli into his arms in the princess carry Eli hated so much. If he didn’t like it, he should have been more careful.
He got a flash from Eli of the boy skiing for a sum total of twenty minutes. He was terrible at it and had spent the majority of thetime with a mouthful of snow. When he went to change out of his ice-encrusted clothes, he smacked his face on a cabinet after he slipped on a completely dry, carpeted floor.
Only Eli could manage to nearly kill himself doing such a mundane task. And he wondered why Haruka was so protective. Eli was lucky he got to leave their dorm room.
“I’ve already seen a doctor. I don’t have a concussion, just a nasty bruise.” Eli squirmed, trying to get Haruka to put him down.
He didn’t succeed.
Despite Eli’s protests, Haruka carried Eli to their room and spent the rest of the day pampering him and keeping a close eye on him to make sure he wasn’t exhibiting signs of a concussion.
The upside to the whole thing was that Eli was no longer upset with him. The downside was that Haruka was too worried about hurting Eli to fuck him.
It had been three long, stress-filled days since he’d been buried deep inside Eli. Tomorrow morning, Haruka promised himself. He’d give Eli a night of restful, healing sleep, and then he’d pound him into the mattress.

Haruka woke to a delightful, sleepy boy placing kisses along his collarbone. It was his second favorite way to wake up. His favorite was when Eli had Haruka’s cock in his mouth, desperate and ready to be fucked as soon as Haruka came to wakefulness.
Haruka sent a tendril of his mind to brush against Eli’s, testing to see if there was any lingering pain from yesterday. He breathed a sigh of relief into Eli‘s hair when he found nothing but a kindling desire for Haruka to be inside him.
“Want you,” Eli whispered sleepily against Haruka’s skin. Eli looked him in the eye and gave Haruka’s pec a kittenish nip.
It was more than enough of an invitation for Haruka.
He rolled them both over and settled in between Eli’s legs, pressing his erection against the boy’s ass. He wanted to take the boy hard, fast, and dirty after being denied access for several days.
Eli’s pupils flared. “Yes, please.” He wrapped his legs around Haruka’s waist and pulled him in to press them together intimately. At some point, before Haruka had woken, the boy had taken off his pjs. Only the barrier of Haruka’s boxers lay between him and Eli’s quivering hole.
Haruka had them gone in an instant. He was reaching for the lube inside the nightstand when there was a knock at the door.
“Go away,” Haruka snapped at whoever was stupid enough to disturb themfirst thing in the morning.
There was a softeepfrom the boy he had pinned to the bed. “Oh no, I forgot!”
A sinking sensation began to form in Haruka’s stomach. “Forgot what?”
“I kinda maybe asked the concierge to send a doctor to our room first thing in the morning.” At Haruka’s look of bewildered frustration, Eli added hastily, “I didn’t want you to worry! I thought if we got it out of the way we could enjoy the rest of the day.”
