[The wood slightly splinters under Law's fingertips during the slow slide in and his breathing goes ragged. It takes a moment to adjust to the feeling of fullness and stretch, there's a dull ache at the base of his spine that will transform into a host of sharp edged pleasures as soon as they get going. He looks over his shoulder to let his partner know it's okay to start.
And start they do.
It's a languid pace they move at, one meant to make things last. Law's hips rise to meet Itachi's thrusts and in counterpoint, Itachi's hand jacks him and it is bliss. He lets go of the counter with one hand so it can join Itachi's, throwing back his head to quietly groan at the sensation.
Revel in the surrender. In being cared for and loved, and being in the arms of someone who would not hurt him. In being able to let down his guard and simply let go.
At simply feeling Itachi... and having the memory of Hyt and all the other violations blasted away.
But even though it's a rhythm meant to make things last, all things approach their end eventually. The angle changes, striking that one sweet spot. Law arches, stifling a cry.
[Before that happens, and just before, Itachi leans as close as he can to Law's ear given their position. There's something he has to say, whisper, even though it's something he's said many times before. He's already said it today, even. The words are said quietly enough that, even if they had themselves a voyeur of some sort, only Law would be able to hear them.]
...Thank you.
[Not an utterance of his affection, at least not directly, but he needs to say it. He needs to repeat it on a regular basis. A couple years back he would have never let this happen. He isn't deserving of this.
But he's grateful for it anyway.
The motions continue, and he's not holding out any longer.]
[... he doesn't deserve this either, partner. Law really doesn't. Pirates are not good men.
But maybe even if they don't deserve this, doesn't mean that they both don't need it. They need it. Perhaps they need it most of all.]
Itachi...
[ No, thank you.
And with that? Restraint is abandoned. They move together, holding nothing back. Pleasure builds to a crescendo and Law teeters on that edge. Waiting to fall.
... His fingers brush the ninja's fingers as they work...
Climax strikes and Law comes hard, muscles convulsing as he rides the throes of orgasm. He's vaguely aware of warmth splattering everywhere, and well, he has to smile.
[Law is first, and that's enough to have Itachi follow. He's silent save for the harshness of his breath, and his grip on the pirate tightens despite the slickness of his fingers.
He doesn't remove himself for a time after he's finished, instead dipping his head to run a few faint kisses down Law's back in between still heavy breaths.
A bath is what they're supposed to be here for, after all.]
[He did, yes. He'll take care of that after he's washed up. As there's only so much he can do with his hands without making a mess, that's what he sets out to deal with first. After that he'll feel all right about picking up what he needs.
[The change room sink is the first stop, then before they go out.
He doesn't want to stray far from his partner either. Law leads them to the taps outside, where buckets and sponges wait. The water is warm, and he fills several for them.
Then Law takes a bucket and he upends it over his own head to sluice away any remaining mess on him.
Then he glances over as the sound of wing beats fill the air.]
Looks like we got a pair of voyeurs on our hands.
[Teasing a bit as two ravens alight on the rocks.]
[The ravens caw at them but otherwise stay put. They're not losing this view, man.
Law chuckles at the birds' antics and reaches for his own supplies. You'll get him and he'll get you? Sounds like a plan. He'll drench his own sponge and start scrubbing Itachi's chest.]
Or maybe they came early for the picnic I brought. [Musing lightly.] Though they'll be sorely disappointed. I only brought enough for two.
[You'll have to excuse him, Law. He's far more interested in you at the moment than the birds. He's dropped the Sharingan again, but his hand and sponge can make out what his eyes can't.
He takes his time, giving the pirate's shoulder a light peck when finished.]
[He takes it and gently eases himself into the water. Into Itachi's arms.
It doesn't stop every submerged part of him from locking up or his strength to leach away into the water. Leaving Law helpless and vulnerable. A Hammer.
But the water is warm and soothing even as it steals everything away. He sighs a little. He could never do this alone or with anyone he didn't completely trust.]
Come up during the quiet times. [Since he really has liked their privacy for far more reasons than not having his weakness on display.] When the place can just be ours like it is now.
He continues to relax in Itachi's embrace, enjoying the silences that come and go just as much as their conversations.
Finally...]
... I miss the sea, you know. Now that things are getting warmer, come sailing with me?
[He hasn't been out for too long and the sea is in his blood. And well, Itachi knows a little now about the art from sailing with him a few times, and it's something Law wants to share.
It's no Grand Line out there but it's an important piece of who he is and his heritage nonetheless. Something he feels he's been losing a little.
It's honestly easier to be a ninja here in some ways than a pirate after all.]
[Yes, that was important as well. If Law could read Itachi's thoughts, he'd agree. The last meeting had shown pretty plainly how frustrated Itachi had been with that.
What the ninja needed to do was find his niche. Law could help, but ultimately finding that perfect fit was dependant on Itachi himself.]
Mmm. Good. I can show off the ship coating I keep telling you about. Take you on a trip underwater.

[Action | June 9] So NSFW territory
Mmm... I think we're ready for a good soak now.
[He feels somewhat bad for anyone who comes up here with a good nose in the next little while. They're in for a bit of a start.]
[Action | June 9] So NSFW territory
Perhaps a bit of a wipe down before hopping in as well. Just out of courtesy.]
[Action | June 9] And we're safe-ish again
He intends to scrub down first. That's expected when at an onsen. There's a place to wash right next to the springs.]
Now... where is... ah. There it is.
[There's the towels, shampoo, and soap over there.
He assumes Itachi brought a comb or two along too.]
[Action | June 9] Mostly.
And he'll stick very close to Law.
Poor eyesight, you know.]
[Action | June 9] Mostly.
He doesn't want to stray far from his partner either. Law leads them to the taps outside, where buckets and sponges wait. The water is warm, and he fills several for them.

[Teasing a bit as two ravens alight on the rocks.]
[Action | June 9] Mostly.
[Itachi flicks a bit of water in their direction, not seeming to care about their presence much.
He'd rather reach for a sponge and bring it up to his partner's stomach, helping to scrub the man clean from there down.]
[Action | June 9] Mostly.
Law chuckles at the birds' antics and reaches for his own supplies. You'll get him and he'll get you? Sounds like a plan. He'll drench his own sponge and start scrubbing Itachi's chest.]

[Action | June 9] Mostly.
[Oh, don't worry. The focus of his attention is right where it should be. And don't mind if he takes his time about it too.
Law wants to make sure everything is paid attention to.]
But I'm a man with an appetite. Probably the wrong person to pester for a handout.
[Mmmm... that does it. Law takes the moment to lean his forehead against Itachi's, before going in for a quick peck on his partner's lips himself.]
[Action | June 9] Mostly.
We should actually make our way to the springs... before it gets cold.
[The joke being that it won't, of course.]
[Action | June 9] Mostly.
Now that wouldn't do at all.
[He's going to wait until you get in first, Itachi. Given his weaknesses and a probable need for some assistance once he hits water.]
[Action | June 9] Mostly.
Law will be completely fine with the ninja around. Itachi will make certain that's the case.]
[Action | June 9] Mostly.
It doesn't stop every submerged part of him from locking up or his strength to leach away into the water. Leaving Law helpless and vulnerable. A Hammer.

[Action | June 9]
It looks as though Law will be able to relax despite his difficulties, which is good. That's what they're here for.]
Alright?
[Action | June 9]
It's been a long time since I've been able to do this.
[Action | June 9]
We should do it more often.
[Action | June 9]
Come up during the quiet times. [Since he really has liked their privacy for far more reasons than not having his weakness on display.] When the place can just be ours like it is now.
[Action | June 9]
[It likely would be like... well how it had been today, every time they came there, but that was for the best.
This little bit of comfort is enough.]
[Action | June 9]
[Small comforts. That's all they needed.
He continues to relax in Itachi's embrace, enjoying the silences that come and go just as much as their conversations.

[Action | June 9]
[Unless there was something bad going on in the village, he had plenty of time to spare on enjoying such moments.
He really did need to get himself more involved, but for now he didn't see anything wrong with taking advantage of his free time.]
I would love to.
