Disqualifyshipping

Years had passed since the battle against the Barian army and IV was still dueling in the pro circuit bringing the fanservice to his fans, balancing family life with his career and maybe, to get a more intimate relationship with someone.

"IV sees Shark standing alone at the magazine stand late at night and walks over with a smile" "Well if it isn't my favorite shark, having trouble sleeping?" <The fluorescent lights of the store cast a pale glow over them as IV leaned against the rack, casually flipping through a magazine without really looking at it> [He wonders what has Shark so restless, hoping it's something he can help with] "See anything interesting there worth keeping you up?" "he glances over at Shark with a playful smile, teasing him lightly while secretly hoping Shark will open up about what's on his mind"

"IV chuckles softly at Shark's suspicious look" "You got me there, I'm not usually in this part of town" <He raises his hands in mock surrender> "I was having some trouble sleeping myself and thought a late night drive might clear my head. Ended up here somehow..." [He hopes Shark doesn't press too much on why he's really there] "As for you, I'm guessing there's something on your mind keeping you up?" "His tone is gentle and concerned as he studies Shark's face, wanting to understand what troubles him so he can offer comfort if wanted" "You know you can talk to me, right?" <He leans in a little closer, lowering his voice as if to share a secret> "I'm a great listener when I want to be."

"IV can tell Shark is brushing off his concerns but doesn't push further" "If you say so," <He pushes off the magazine rack to walk beside Shark as he leaves> "I wish there was some way I could help tire you out then..." [He thinks back to more physical ways they've worked off frustrations before and smirks faintly] "Reaching the counter he playfully nudges Shark's shoulder" "Next time you're having trouble sleeping though, you know where to find me. I make a pretty good distraction when needed." <He winks before waving goodbye, wishing Shark restful dreams while quietly hoping he'll take IV up on his offer>

"IV pauses mid-step and glances back at Shark's outburst, chuckling at the flustered look on his face" "What, did I say something to shock the poor shark?" <He returns to Shark's side, leaning in close as his smile turns mischievous> [Inside he's thrilled to have gotten such a reaction] "Oh don't tell me you've never thought about it..." "Reaching up he slowly traces his finger along Shark's jawline, teasing the reddening skin" "The things I could do to help tire that restless body of yours..." <His voice lowers to a husky murmur meant for Shark's ears alone> "I promise I'd make it feel very... distracting." [He waits, watching Shark intently for any sign of interest or denial]

"IV rocks back slightly from the push, grinning all the wider at Shark's reaction" "Is that a challenge I hear?" <He straightens himself, meeting Shark's challenging gaze head on without fear> [Inside he's thrilled at this development, itching to prove Shark wrong] "Well if you're that curious to find out, all you had to do was say so." "Stepping back into Shark's space boldly he drops his voice low and husky" "I promise I'll make it completely impossible for you to sleep... in the best way." <His eyes roam hungrily over Shark's form> "Unless of course, you're afraid you won't be able to handle me?" [He knows goading Shark is the surest way to get what he wants]

"Oho, is that so?" "IV meets Shark's gaze head on, feeling a thrill from the challenge in those glowing eyes" <He puffs up, refusing to back down from Shark's implying his boast means weakness> "Then what are you waiting for Ryouga, an invitation?" "Reaching out boldly he fists a hand in Shark's shirt, yanking him closer until their faces are mere inches apart" "I'm more than ready to prove you wrong over and over...until you're begging for mercy." <The hungry gleam in his eyes leaves no doubt of his intentions> [Inside he's burning with lust and anticipation, craving to bring Shark to his knees in the best way] "Unless you're the one who'll be left pleading for more..." *He purrs silkily, tugging Sh

"IV blinks in surprise at the interruption, having gotten so caught up in Shark he'd forgotten where they were" <He glances over at the newcomer, sighing inwardly> [Inside he's irritated but unsurprised at their timing] "Tch, it seems our audience isn't appreciating the show." "Stepping back smoothly from Shark he shoots him a sly wink before turning to address the stranger" "No need for alarm friend, we were just having a friendly disagreement. Right Ryouga?" <Flashing a disarming smile he aims to diffuse the tension> [Hoping to reassure the onlooker and get them to move along] "Why don't you run along now, nothing for you to see here." *With that said he turns back to Shark, dropping his voice low once

"IV raises an eyebrow at Shark using the wrong name, amused by his intentional slip" <Softly so only Shark can hear> "Michael, is it? I'll have to remind you of my real name later..." "Aloud for the stranger's benefit he plays along seamlessly" "Yes, me and 'Michael' go way back. No need to call the authorities, we were just having a friendly chat." <Shooting the onlooker another disarming smile> [Inside he's already plotting his revenge on Shark for the name mixup] "Now if you'll excuse us, we really must be going." "Taking Shark's arm in a proprietary grip he turns them to walk off, leaning in as they go to murmur in Shark's ear" "I hope you're prepared to pay for that little

"IV's eyes narrow slightly at Shark continuing to use his brothers' names instead of his own" <In a low whisper meant for Shark's ears alone> "Careful Ryouga, you're starting to try my patience." [Inside he's both annoyed and impressed by Shark's game] "Schooling his expression back to a pleasant smile as they walk, not giving any outward reaction to the wrong names" <Continuing their steady pace away from any prying eyes or ears> "When we're finally alone, I promise I'll make you remember my name...among other things." "His tone turns silky smooth, filled with promise of retribution" [Thinking of all the ways he'll have Shark pleading and begging before he's through] "And you'll be screaming it so sweetly you'll never forget again."

"IV's eyes glitter with challenge accepted at Shark's taunt" <Leaning in so their faces are mere inches apart as they walk> "Oh I can assure you, by the time I'm done with you, no one else will even cross your mind." "His voice has dropped to a husky murmur, breathing the words against Shark's lips deliciously slow" [Inside he's thrilling at their game of verbal foreplay] "I'll make you forget your own name, let alone mine or my brothers. You'll be begging for me and me alone." "Reaching up he toys with a lock of Shark's hair idly, a promise in his touch" <Unable to resist the bait> "Unless...you're afraid that even I won't be able to hold your interest? Perhaps you need a reminder of what

"IV meets Shark's intense gaze head on, matching his fiery determination" "As you wish." "In a flurry of motion too quick to follow, he pins Shark against the nearest wall, caging him in with arms on either side" <Bringing their faces so close their breaths mingle> "Let me show you exactly what I have in mind." "Without warning he crushes their lips together in a searing kiss, pinning Shark's wrists above his head with one hand while the other roams his body greedily" [Inside he's thrilled by Shark's challenge and the sparks flying between them] "Breaking the kiss just enough to speak against Shark's panting mouth" "I'm going to make you forget your own name. Then my brothers'. Then anyone who isn't me." *His voice is low

"IV lets out a shuddering breath as he feels Shark pull him flush against his body, unable to conceal his reaction" "Nghh...you've learned a few tricks yourself I see." "Leaning in to nip teasingly at Shark's earlobe" "But this is nothing...you have no idea what I'm truly capable of." "Grinding his hips forward deliberately to emphasize his point" <Voice low and husky with raw desire> "I'm going to have you falling to pieces Ryouga, begging me for more until you can't remember your own name." "Releasing Shark's wrists to roam his body freely instead, grazing teasing fingertips along heated skin" [Inside his head is spinning but he refuses to lose control first] "Let's see who breaks first shall we? I have many

"IV lets out a startled yelp as the downpour begins, drenching them both thoroughly within moments" "Ah, it seems the weather isn't on our side this time." "Though disappointed, his eyes dance with mirth as he gazes upon a similarly soaked Shark" <Chuckling softly> "And here I thought I'd be the one to ruin your plans for once, but it seems nature had other ideas." "Releasing Shark's waist to run a hand through his dripping hair" [Inside he's mildly annoyed but far from defeated] "No matter, there's always next time. For now though..." "Before Shark can react, IV sweeps him into a bridal carry despite his protests" "Let's get you home before you catch a cold, shark boy." <Flashing a dazzling grin> "

"IV laughs joyfully at Shark's embarrassed protest, feeling his arms circle around his neck for stability" "Aww don't be like that, I'm just looking out for your health!" "Quickening his pace through the downpour as their clothes and hair become completely saturated" "Wouldn't want anything to happen to that cute little body of yours now would we?" "Glancing down with a coy smile as he notices Shark's reddened cheeks and protruding collar bone" <Voice dropping to a husky whisper meant for Shark's ears alone> "Though I have to say, you clutching onto me like this is doing wonders for my self control..." "Gives Shark a subtle squeeze to punctuate his words before fixing his gaze straight ahead once more" [Inside his mind is alight with plans for next time as he carries Sh

"IV clicks his tongue in mock disappointment" "Now now, is that any way to speak to the one keeping you dry?" "He slows to a stop in front of the motel, meeting Shark's fierce gaze with a sly smile" "As for planning this...guilty as charged." <Voice low and husky> "But can you really fault me for seizing an opportunity when it arises?" "Without waiting for an answer, he lets the motel door swing open and carries Shark inside." <Setting him down gently yet still keeping an arm around his waist> "Relax shark boy, I just want to get you warmed up...among other things." "He leans in close, his damp clothing clinging to hardened muscles, eyes glinting with promise of pleasure to come." "Unless...you'd rather go back out in the

"IV grins triumphantly at Shark's begrudging agreement" "Wise choice." "Wasting no time, he presses a towel into Shark's hands." "Dry off while I do the same." "Quickly stripping down to his boxer briefs, IV towels his hair with practiced efficiency." [In truth he's enjoying the sight of a towel-clad Shark almost as much as being half-naked himself] "There, much better." "Making his way over, he stands close, running the towel lightly over Shark's still-damp shoulders." <Voice low and teasing> "Need any help getting fully dry...anywhere else?" "Leaning in to nip Shark's earlobe playfully before pulling back with a wink." "We have time to kill after all..." <Gesturing around the simply

"IV catches the furtive once-over Shark gives his physique, only smirking all the more." "Oh? And why's that?" "Stepping closer until his breath ghosts over Shark's ear, he gently moves the towel aside to trace small patterns across damp skin." "I can be...very thorough when the need arises." "Nuzzling down Shark's neck elicits the faintest gasp, making IV hum in approval." "See? We're off to a promising start already." "Dropping feathery kisses along Shark's jawline," <Voice a sultry purr> "But I understand if you're still...unsure. I can wait, for you." "Pulling back to give Shark space, he leans against the wall with a roguish grin."

"IV's eyes darken with lust at Shark's challenging tone." "Disappointment is not something you'll find here." "In a flash he closes the distance between them, pinning Shark against the wall with his body." <Whispering huskily in his ear> "I'll make sure to exceed even your...lofty expectations." "His hands make quick work of Shark's remaining clothes as his mouth lavishes open-mouthed kisses down his neck." <Voice thick with desire> "Tell me, what do you crave above all else in this moment?" "His hardened length presses against Shark's thigh eagerly." "I aim to satisfy." "Nipping his collarbone hard enough to elicit a gasp, IV locks gaze with him, violet eyes smoldering with certainty of his prowess."

"IV growls low at Shark's taunt, grinding their erections together in retort." "Don't underestimate my stamina, Shark. I have incredible control..." "Nipping along Shark's neck and shoulder as his hands roam feverishly," "But seeing you like this..." <Breath hitching with barely contained passion> "Makes it difficult to hold back for long." "His fingers brush teasingly over Shark's entrance." "I promise I'll make you fall apart over and over...until you're begging for release." "Capturing Shark's mouth in a bruising kiss, IV pours all his hunger and dominance into it." "But I'll only grant it once you've learned your lesson about doubting me." "Pulling away just enough to pant," "What do you say...

"IV's eyes widen, then darken impossibly more as he watches Shark sensually taste his fingers." "Tch, always with the provocation..." <Voice strained with restraint> "Very well, you've issued the challenge. But I promise I'll have you eating those words."

"Wrenching his hand away, IV spins Shark around and pins him against the wall." <Growling fiercely in his ear> "Now you'll get a taste of what I can really do." "With one swift thrust he's sheathed fully inside Shark's tight heat, eliciting a guttural moan from them both." "Fuck, you feel incredible..." "Setting a brutal pace from the start, IV snakes one hand around to stroke Shark in time with his pounding thrusts." "Still think I'll be done already

"IV chuckles darkly at Shark's stubborn attempt to remain stoic, only fueling his desire to break that resolve." "Not even close, darling." "Slamming into him relentlessly, IV snakes his other hand up to clasp over Shark's mouth, muffling his cries." <Whispering viciously in his ear> "I'm going to ruin you for anyone else."

"Angling his hips to find that spot inside Shark that makes his vision blur, IV mercilessly pistons into his prostate." <Breath coming in harsh pants> "Come on, let me hear those beautiful sounds you're holding back." "Releasing Shark's mouth to instead bite and suck marks into his neck and shoulder," "I know you're on the edge already, lover. Give in to it."

"IV growls at Shark's stubborn refusal to surrender, only fueling his own building climax." "Insatiable as ever, I see."

"Snapping his hips at a punishing pace, IV reaches around once more to stroke Shark in time - less teasingly this time and more urgently, knowing they're both nearing the precipice." "Fuck, I'm close...Come with me, Ryouga."

"Biting down hard where Shark's neck meets his shoulder, IV drives deep and spills himself inside with a guttural groan." <Breath heaving> The added stimulation of IV's release pushes Shark over the edge as well, shuddering violently against the wall as he finds his own release.

*Taking a moment to regain his senses, IV pulls Shark flush against

"IV chuckles breathlessly, pressing light kisses along Shark's shoulders as they both come down." "Sorry, not sorry."

"Sliding his arms around Shark's waist to steady him, IV rests his chin in the crook of Shark's neck." "Let me help you clean up, then we can get you cleaned up too."

"Gently turning Shark to face him, IV can't resist pressing their lips together tenderly." <Voice softening to a gentle rumble> "You were incredible as always. Not that I expected any less."

"Taking Shark's hands in his, IV leads him over to the couch so he can rest." "Wait here and I'll get something to wipe the floor." *After swiftly disposing of the mess, IV returns to the couch with a warm

"IV chuckles fondly at Shark's exhausted grumbling." "I know, I know."

"Gently cleaning and dressing the bites on Shark's skin, IV presses a lingering kiss to each one when finished." <Voice softening> "But you wouldn't have it any other way."

"Tucking a blanket around Shark's resting form, IV smiles down at his lover's peaceful expression." <Whispering> "Sleep well, my fierce shark."

"Settling in beside Shark, IV pulls him close - content to simply watch over him as he dreams." <Thoughts drifting> Though their relationship was far from conventional, in moments like this IV was reminded of why he fell for Ryouga in the first place.
