Bunny Folk
Joey looked the egg he was holding over carefully, examining it for cracks or drippings of paint; he couldn't leave any imperfect eggs and, since he had volunteered to take from the last batch of the eggs, the extra scrutiny was necessary. Seeing nothing wrong with the egg, he placed it delicately behind the couch's throw pillow. He was glad they used stronger shells on their chocolate eggs. If someone sat on these, it would take a lot of pressure to break them.
He yelped as a hand grabbed his wrist when he went to place another chocolate egg on the coffee table beneath some magazines, turning to face his attacker swiftly. His nose twitched automatically as it was filled with the scent of coffee and a little cigarette smoke and maybe even some whiskey at the very edge of it. His breath caught in his throat as he was frozen by icy blue eyes, a shiver going through his body so hard that his tail trembled.
"What are you doing?" The man's voice was hard, and mean, and cold, as if his words were ice itself.
Joey flinched as the grip on his wrist tightened, reaching to try and claw his hand off. "Oi! That hurts! Lemme go!" He struggled against the tight grip wildly. "Jeez! I'm just deliverin' eggs for my friend! He's really busy this time o' year! Lemme go! Lemme go!"
"Delivering eggs? That's the worst bullshit I've ever heard." The brunet gave him a quick shake. "What are you here for?"
"Ngh!" The blond squirmed frantically. "Just deliverin' eggs-! Gah! Look!" He lifted his free hand to yank one of his golden brown lop ears up, yelping in pain when the older boy grabbed it and gave it a yank. "Gah! Asshole!"
The brunet raised an eyebrow as he rubbed the ear between his fingers, feeling how soft and warm it was. Sliding his fingers to the base, he felt where the ear met the blond's skull. "…It appears that these
are your real ears, whatever freak you are. But that doesn't tell me what you're here for."
Joey yelped as he was shoved up against the wall, squirming as the brunet's hands traveled over his body. "Agh! …Are you frisking me!" he exclaimed, both confused and annoyed. "Seriously?"
"What did you expect, breaking into my house?" The brunet paused as he found a little puff of a tail poking out at him, then lifted a hand and grabbed it.
Joey squealed in surprise and jerked his hips forward, then began to giggle helplessly as he squirmed. "Oh God! Let go! Let go of my tail! Eeeheehee!" He clawed at the wall frantically in an attempt to get away. "Gah! That tickles! Stop!" He squirmed a little more, than squealed as he fell onto the ground. "Ngh!"
The human raised an eyebrow, then paused before he wiggled the blond's tail again. "So this is real, too…"
"Gah! Teehee!" The blond finally managed to squirm away. "Jerk! That tickled!" He covered his tail protectively and turned to glare at him, cheeks flushed from exertion. "Ya don't just grab someone's tail! You're lucky ya didn't yank it, or I woulda kicked ya!" He blew one of his lop ears out of his face and got to his feet shakily. "Guh! Jerk!" He grabbed his basket of eggs and hurried to scamper out of the room.
Of course, he paused to hide a few more eggs around the entryway. He was a good Easter Bunny's helper.
"Gah!" Joey stumbled backward and looked up at the door in confusion, rubbing his head where he'd bumped it. He'd turned the knob, so why hadn't the door opened? He frowned and reached out to turn the knob again. "Huh…?"
"I've put the mansion on lockdown."
The blond squealed and turned sharply, pressing up against the door. "Gah! Don't sneak up on me!" He frowned and turned to look at the doorknob, then looked up at the human in confusion. "L-lockdown?"
The brunet smirked. "No one can get in. Of course, that also means that no one can get
out."
"…I-I'm not stealin' or anything! I'm just leavin' eggs for you and your brother!" He pressed closer against the door as the taller man advanced toward him. "T-they're just chocolate! You like chocolate, right!"
"Actually, I don't really care for sweets," the brunet replied, pressing his hands to the door on either side of the blond bunny's head.
Joey swallowed nervously. "…I-I'm sorry. I don't really know what else t' give ya…" He blushed as the older boy cupped his chin, his thumb running across his bottom lip. "…Please…"
"Well. I suppose you're cute enough." The brunet smirked. "How about a kiss? You won't be leaving until I get one."
"A-a kiss?" The blond blushed a little more, glancing away anxiously, then peeked up at the older boy from beneath his bangs. "…Just a kiss? Just one? No more than that?"
"No more than that," he agreed. "Just one simple little kiss."
Joey glanced away and nodded shyly. "Okay. Just one kiss."
He gasped as the brunet grabbed his hair and yanked him into a swift kiss, eyes widening as a tongue was thrust into his mouth. He mewed and arched his back in surprise, allowing the tongue to dominate his mouth as he was pressed closer to the door. "Nmn! Ah…!" He panted as the kiss was broken, confused and flustered. "W-wha-!"
He heard the door click and felt it open behind him, and looked up in confusion as the brunet gently eased him out the door. He blinked up at him in puzzlement as the brunet gently knocked the tip of his ear back behind his shoulder, then brushed his hair out of his eyes.
The older boy smirked and flicked his nose playfully. "I guess I'll see you next year, then."
Joey blushed again, eyes widening as he shut the door. "…I…" He lifted his hand to gently brush his fingers over his lips and couldn't help a nervous giggle, then scampered away; he still had a few more houses to hit tonight.
.-.-.-.-.-.
"Seto… Kaiba…" Joey smiled as he looked down at the picture. The information said that, despite not believing in magic (even going out of his way to deny it and prove it didn't exist), he put in at least a little effort on the holidays for his little brother.
His file also said that he was usually alone, and his relationships (whether merely sexual or something more) never lasted long. Perhaps he was lonely. Maybe that was why he hadn't just booted him out of his house.
Joey blushed a little as he traced the brunet's cheek on the photo. "…Seto…." His name sounded nice. "…You're a really good kisser," he told the photograph, then giggled anxiously. "I'm sorta sad he stopped so soon."
He glanced up at the clock and bit his bottom lip. The party celebrating the end of the Easter rush for the Bunny Folk would start soon. That meant they were free for the rest of the year until February, when they started preparing for Easter again.
Tucking his lop ears back behind his shoulders, the blond giggled again and rushed to put the file back where he'd found it. "Maybe he won't mind if I visit him for another kiss!"
The clock struck midnight; the day of Easter was over, and so were his responsibilities as an Egg Layer until February. He knew he'd be frisky like nothing else for the next few months, now that the excitement was over, and he hoped that Seto Kaiba would be willing to help him with that for a while.
.-.-.-.-.-.
Seto raised an eyebrow as he found the blond-haired boy he'd found the night before sitting on his bed. He reached for the phone in his pocket, wondering whether he'd need to call security or go under lockdown again, but the bunny-eared human merely smiled at him sweetly. "You're back."
"Yeah!" The blond hopped onto his feet and beamed at him. "Duties for Bunny Folk are over until February. I remembered the kiss you gave me last night, and…" He blushed a little, then smiled again. "I thought, maybe one more kiss wouldn't hurt! Or some sex! I'm a rabbit and I'd really like some sex!"
The brunet stared at him for a few minutes, stunned. He took in the floppy ears, remembered the younger boy's ticklish little tail, and recalled that rabbits were notorious for their sex drives. It had been quite some time since he'd had a lover. And the blond wasn't asking him to love him or anything. Just kisses and sex. He could do kisses and sex.
So, he shrugged and motioned at the bed. "Alright. I guess I'm in the mood for some sex, too. If you'll tell me your name, I suppose we can make some sort of arrangement."
"Joey Wheeler!" Joey patted the bed next to him and cooed. "We can make an arrangement later. I'm still on my high from making it through another Easter; let's have sex while I'm still frisky!"
Seto decided that it sounded like a pretty good idea.
