valmoraThis was a really difficult piece to write, I have to say. >.< I'm still not completely happy with it.
Title: Kept
Rating: R
Fandom: Bleach (Belach, yes.)
Pairing: Aizen Sousuke/Ichimaru Gin
Disclaimer: Aizen + Gin =/= mine.
Notes: Inspired by this NWS image at this site. ETA: The art site has since been taken down. I am respecting the artist's wishes and will not be redistributing the pictures.
Summary: Sousuke's past shouldn't matter but it does.
Notes part 2: Part of what inspired this piece was learning (and probably misinterpreting) that in traditional Japan, kissing was something prostitutes did (I guess they learned it from the Western sailors, since I've heard that kissing is Western, not Eastern), and respectable people didn't unless they were with prostitutes.

He learnt it -
Gin knows he shouldn't be thinking this. Not now, not with his back pressed heavy into the bed and Sousuke above him in a curve of skin and sweat and muscle. It shouldn't matter, what they bring into this bed; anything not themselves should be left behind, shed with their clothes.
It shouldn't matter but it does. He feels Sousuke's hands on his shoulders, tangling in his hair, and he wonders if any of Sousuke's reactions to him are honest, or if they are all calculated, as they would have been all those years ago with all those others. And of course he feels that he should leave it be, but to leave that thought - that Sousuke sees nothing but another trick - lying in the bed between them seems, somehow, an insult.
Maybe it is. Maybe the way Sousuke kisses, slow and deep, is meant to remind him every time of where Sousuke came from, that Gin was never the first. He thinks it's probably that, because the alternative - that Sousuke wants to give something of himself, wants to use what he learned all those years ago for Gin - is impossible, too kind to be true.
And Sousuke, bent over him, touch too gentle against Gin's bare skin, is smiling too much to believe it is anything but a reminder, to believe that he doesn't know that despite all intentions, Gin has brought more than sex to this bed.

I have no idea who these people are
They're from the anime "Bleach", which is very good if you like that sort of thing. The premise of "Bleach" is that there are people, called shinigami, who are supposed to defend humans from soul-eating monsters called Hollows. To this end, there is a paramilitary organisation composed of shinigami (vaguely reminiscent of samurai), and it has thirteen divisions, with the head of the first division being the head of all the divisions. Aizen Sousuke (Aizen being his family name) and Ichimaru Gin (Ichimaru being his family name) are heads of the fifth and third divisions, respectively. (Aizen looks like this (http://ichimaru-gin.blog.jeuxvideo.com/images/mn/1135010087.jpg) and Gin looks like this (http://bleach7.com/information/guide/manga/3.jpg).)
what is the "he learnt it"
It's intended to be Gin cutting himself off mid-thought about Aizen. I guess that's not clear until the end - essentially, what it's meant to be an abbreviation of is the thought that Aizen learned how to be good in bed because of what he used to be, that is, a prostitute (this is NOT CANON. AT ALL. where it came from is kind of complicated; thanks for reminding me, since I need to put in an author's note).

Date: 2006-06-15 10:26 pm (UTC)Well, they're also compatriots in crime, and Gin used to be Aizen's vice-captain before he himself became a captain and stuff like that. I'd tell you more, except it's spoilerific. Go read. ^_~
OMG military!slash!
The military aspect isn't very involved - it's more of a samurai honor code thing.
if he was just kind of a slut
Well, apparently kissing in Japan used to be something that prostitutes did (they learned it from the Portuguese sailors, I guess, since kissing is Western), so traditionally you'd never kiss your wife, since you were essentially telling her you thought her no better than a whore. So there were two ways to run with that picture, assuming that I was going to keep the cultural connotation (it's not so true among the young set, but among parents and grandparents you get that attitude sometimes, apparently), would be either that Aizen doesn't respect Gin (possible) or that he never learned not to kiss (much less possible, but more intriguing from a fic standpoint).
