Details
Have you ever dreamed of being wooed by a knight in shining armor? Well Captain fon Ronsenburg is your man. Literally. He prefers being attached to a commander, queen, charge, or leash. Rules are sexy, and he's here to be your loyal dog.
Dark and broody your thing? He's got that too, a whole lifetime of unfair, unjustified angst and suffering he's just waiting for you to fix. Don't worry, though. He's the whole package. Tender, caring, and likely to fall in love with you but keep it private until you order him to spill his desires. Which turns him on.
Oh, did we mention he's a horny slut? Because he is. He wants to take it every possible way, or be told how you want to be taken. And if you make it public or humiliate him a little, well, his lance will be all the happier to see you.
Protecting the innocent, being used by the worthy, and being absolutely sexually exhausted at all times. It's his heroic reward, afterall.
Basch was already like this at home. He's quite experienced in receiving and administering pleasure, particularly of the rougher variety. He's also happy to teach.
Someone teach this man how to relax. He needs it. His palette is rustic and that's a good place to start. If you get him dancing, the gods will smile in your favor.
Someone who roughs him up, tells him what to do, and then sings sweet praises in his ear.

For Olivine
Date: 2024-04-24 04:44 pm (UTC)He lets them into his suite. The bed is almost comically enormous, as is the raised standing hot spring pool large enough for at least eight people. The view out it is a warm desert city, something Basch has taken comfort in more than one night. Tucked back in the corner is a work bench with wood and tools, and between the areas are a couch and chair he suspects are more for sex than any real use.
It's a strange room, but it's quiet, and it's private. ]
Can I make you tea or get you anything?
no subject
Date: 2024-04-25 02:10 pm (UTC)Which, it turns out, is a surprising amount of it. The sevens rooms and higher have all been so varied compared to the lower ones, a sure sign of the imbalance in rank and treatment. This isn't a bother on its own, and Olivine has no problems with the size of his space, but... it's notable anyway.
He marvels here, in any case, at the size of the bed and hot spring, the artificial sight of a desert against where cold walls surely are. The sight would comfort someone like Dante, he thinks, and has to wonder if it comforts Basch as well.]
Mm, if you're thirsty, I wouldn't mind sharing tea... but I'm mostly alright, I think. Other than a little tiredness from earlier, of course.
[hands lacing together, he traverses the space curiously, fully intending to find a comfortable spot to sit and wait if he needs to.]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-26 08:37 pm (UTC)And he feels a little self-conscious at Olivine scanning his room, like the priest can see some truth about him that eludes even Basch. He's not sure why his room is like this but...there's a lot he doesn't understand about social dynamics, too. ]
No, that's alright, I just wanted to tend to any of your needs after...the pools.
[ He does go to retrieve a pitcher of water and two glasses, though, as much to occupy his hands as anything else. The only people he's brought in here are Sylvain and Nami, who he has very clear dynamics with. Now, he feels shyer.
He sets the pitcher on the coffee table, trying not to nervously fidget. ]
Did you want to nap? Talk? I'm satisfied on bathing, but the pool is always warm if you wish to soak.
no subject
Date: 2024-04-27 05:37 pm (UTC)Not that he has no shyness about this, of course. It's a new place, and the reality is they've only had these connections every so often... so it's natural, really. But he's a lot less worried than he was the last time they spoke.]
Well, you've done more than enough for me so far, hehe.
[that doesn't stop him from taking a glass when the blond brings them over, pulling a slow sip of sweet water past his lips.]
I'm not very particular. Though I'm still feeling... a little lingering want from before. [delicately spoken, with an unmistakable touch of pink to his cheeks.] I'd be happy to just lie here with you, and we can decide anything else from there?
[He is absolutely craving that closeness, more than anything else. The lingering want is still there, might perk up later, but for now?]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-29 03:05 pm (UTC)Maybe it's that just lying together sounds so appealing. It's easy, in some ways, to be used for sex. He understands the rules. Has understood them since long before this place. But more intimate touch -- that's still difficult. Even if it's something he cherishes. ]
I would like that [ He admits quietly. He sets down his glass, going to remove the excessive decorative pillows from bed, because that nervous energy still needs somewhere to go. It gives him enough time to steel his nerves, so that when he's done he climbs to lie on the side of the enormous bed, self-conscious even as he opens his arm to Olivine. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-29 03:29 pm (UTC)Plus it gives the blond time to set up the bed to his comfort, setting it down when he climbs into the bed and offers a space in an arm. The bed... really is obnoxiously large, isn't it? It takes him a moment, therefore, to get into position—not an unpleasant sight in his current state of dress—before letting an arm drift over the curve of Basch's side. His hands are as warm as ever, expression calm and sweet.]
If anything feels uncomfortable, just tell me. [laughing shyly, Olivine ducks his head and lets it rest on Basch's shoulder.] Mm, this is nice, though.
no subject
Date: 2024-04-29 04:20 pm (UTC)Still, he's mildly surprised when Olivine slides in facing him, warm hand on his side. He knows his face is flushing. This is oddly more intimate than even bathing, perhaps because he has no sense of what he ought to be doing back.
But...it's nice. Gentle body heat, gentle touch. Clean bodies and linens on a safe, private bed. All things that are still so new in his life.
Olivine's head comes to his shoulder, and he shifts to hold him more comfortable, a large, calloused hand lightly stroking his hair. Hesitant, then more confident as Olivine does not pull away or protest. ]
You have yet to make me uncomfortable [ He rumbles against the other's hair. It's true. The discomfort the first time was the situation, not Olivine. ] But it's appreciated. The same to you.
[ This was nice, though. Foreign. Confusing. But nothing about it was threatening or uncomfortable. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-29 11:48 pm (UTC)[He's already nuzzling in a little closer as a callused hand draws over his hair, humming gently. It's easy to lapse into silence for a time, taking a moment to just appreciate the way he feels, the way he looks.
This part is, quite plainly, a coveted time for the priest.]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-30 12:17 am (UTC)It's hard to be too concerned, really, with how comfortable it is to have Olivine in his arms. The nervousness is receding with his hands full and busy, even at their gentle pace. He can feel Olivine observing him, and so he stays still and slow.
Memories come, both of the sweet need Olivine showed him today, and of the desperate, needy pleading and moaning he'd given the time before. What, he found himself wondering, was the priest like with nothing interfering?
The thought makes his cock stir lightly. ] I seem to have some lingering want as well, but...I am very content to stay like this.
no subject
Date: 2024-04-30 12:51 am (UTC)it's not on his mind in the least as he works to memorise the shape of the taller man's body, the way he breathes when things are slow and comfortable. by the time the other's cock stirs, his fingers have begun absently tracing patterns over his side, and the words pull a little laugh from him.]
I'm content like this too... but I also wouldn't mind another round. Plus it's... nice to be in private this time.
[a small admission, as his head ducks a little. he'd not change anything if he had the chance to do it again, but... well, early as it was, Olivine had definitely had a time of dealing with the publicity of it.]
There's no rush, in any case, so if you want to do something in a little while we can.
no subject
Date: 2024-04-30 02:10 am (UTC)This is different, too, from what he's used to from home. There was so rarely softness. Just an exchange of fucking, maybe a night of holding the other if he needed it. This is something much softer, and much more open. It awes him some.
Olivine's comment makes his brow furrow slightly. ]
Did that time make you uncomfortable? [ he asks, not noticing the way he holds the other a little more protectively. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-30 03:03 am (UTC)Not—uncomfortable, exactly. [his hand rises to curl around the taller man's arm, soothing.] I wasn't as used to being out in the open as I am now, that's all. When I was back home, it was necessary for me to be a lot more... clandestine.
[you know, as a priest. not that he's talked much about that side of his life exactly, but still.]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-01 04:01 pm (UTC)It was the same for me. Necessary Privacy at home, and very unused to this place.
[ He was high-ranking in the military, and the royal guard. Trysts were private, left in the bedroom, kept secret for fear of impact on their duties or reputations. Sometimes because others had a partner at home, too-long away. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-02 10:41 am (UTC)[Olivine nods his understanding, the words more militant than he's used to, but he could imagine Edmond must feel the same way. the man's certainly a lot more... reserved than the priest had ended up.]
I've gotten much more comfortable with myself since I met Eiden, but even in the past two years, it's always been on my mind. A priest should be... a very specific type of person, after all.
[an ideology he clearly does not fit. he's far too open, far too human, for that level of perfection. it doesn't seem to affect him as much here though, especially not now.]
So I just realised what I'd done a bit later and it was a little embarrassing then. I wouldn't change having done it.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-03 04:22 am (UTC)[ His voice is distant, in another life time. He'd given everything to become those roles. Time, sweat, tears. His entire life.
Maybe he should miss it more.
He cradles Olivine more closely to him, pressing another kiss to his hair. ]
I didn't know how to talk about what we did, the last time you tried. I...didn't understand yet. I was worried I had done something wrong, and I was embarrassed too. But I wouldn't change it either. I think, now, I would have an easier time enjoying it more thoroughly.
[ The conversation Olivine had wanted the last time, he realized. But it was the truth. He hadn't been ready. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-03 11:53 am (UTC)[Olivine's eyes close lightly as Basch presses another kiss to his hair, smile broadening a little as he speaks again. his hand drifts to rest over the taller man's chest, shuffling through hair to come to his heartbeat.
he can understand... basically all of it, after all. the reluctance, the ability to enjoy what this is. going home... will they even be able to? does it matter that much if someone wants to stay?]
I probably pushed the conversation too quickly, too. I'm... honestly, I'm still getting used to how to talk to people, so I didn't realise how you might have felt until we were in the middle of talking. [it may seem like a strange thing for him to say, given the kind of person Olivine is. still, it's true enough.] But... I think I wouldn't mind it again either. Without anything influencing it, preferably.
[it's occurred to him by now that that was at least a decent part of why it bothered Basch, and at least a small part of why it bothered him too. he'd at least felt mostly unaltered, but he has no idea what it was like for the blond.]
... this place has certainly been the source of a lot of learning, hasn't it?
no subject
Date: 2024-05-03 04:52 pm (UTC)I understand not knowing how to talk to people [ He murmurs. He's thankful that this time, it feels easy. Like things are flowing the way they should. ]
I don't...mind influences as much as I first did, but -- I'd rather get to know you without them. If we do more.
[ That really was what it had been. Once he knew who Olivine was and what he liked, it was alright if this place pushed them along or heightened it. Just so he could know if something wasn't okay, or needed more softness to counteract a risk.
Finally he smiles, shaking his head lightly. ] Near constant learning.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-04 11:34 am (UTC)Well... admittedly, most of that was true, too. I... quite enjoy being overwhelmed. I think it's because I usually had to be so... in control, maybe?
[there are other reasons, but he hasn't really registered the possibility of them, honestly.]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 08:45 pm (UTC)That's not an uncommon taste, and I can relate. [ Though....he thinks there's more to it for Olivine than that. ] It's alright if you just like things though, even if they are less typical.
[ He's not sure his taste for being lightly humiliated is from life as a guard, or just an inherent part of him. ]
I think that is one good thing about this place. Not much shame about anything.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-06 06:10 am (UTC)[fingers continue their idle soothing over warm skin, nodding agreement.]
That's true. It's a little like Eiden and the clan members were, for me. Just... a safe space to be who we are. At least, I hope it was for them too.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-08 03:09 am (UTC)I had some chance to experiment at home, but -- always in secret. I realize now there was much shame attached to it, and little trust.
[ He smoothes Olivine's hair again, very much reveling in the way intimacy is allowed and appreciated. He...possibly likes this part more than sex, though he doesn't want to choose. ]
For what it's worth, I'm happy to try things for you, so long as I know you want them sober.
[ It hadn't been the tastes that had bothered him. It was the fear that when they both came to, he wouldn't be happy about what they'd done. that hadn't been the case, but he'd still rather discuss it first. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-11 01:22 pm (UTC)I'm sorry it was like that for you. I had... mm. Considered things, a few times, but I couldn't get past the idea of needing to keep it all so secret.
[it's harder to ask someone else to also stay quiet, and the situations... hadn't been as positive as they sounded anyway. eyes closing as fingers smooth through his hair, he hums agreement.]
There are very few things I'm not actually interested, so the chances are I'd be happy to. Though—I do try to remain sober, at least going in to things.
[that said, he's not the least bit worried about anything Basch may want to know. it's not at all unlike how he feels about Sylvain—if less intense, naturally, just yet. the thought is comforting, especially after the little stumbles they'd been through.]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-17 03:32 am (UTC)I'm...not always creative. And I can be shy. But if I know you want to try something, or like something, it makes it easier.
[ It's probably the most honest he's been not just about his own tastes, but how he works. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-17 05:27 am (UTC)That's fine, too. If you did want to try something different, I'm... sure I can think of plenty, if you asked. But I... most like the feeling of connection, so it doesn't matter much how creative it is.
[it's little more than simple reassurance, but it also just... feels good to say it. he thinks he's probably made it a little confusing in his general enthusiasm, after all.]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-20 05:37 pm (UTC)That I can confidently give you.
[ Which eases some of the lingering worry that he won't be able to fulfill the other's needs, so why offer himself? ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-20 07:50 pm (UTC)[fingers find Basch's to entwine them, thumb brushing over the other's skin. Funny how neither man realised that maybe the other was feeling just as awkward for similar reasons.]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-21 01:18 am (UTC)It is. I'm glad we reconnected and got to speak again.
[ Which is maybe... a light euphemism for holding a man in his bed after stroking them off together, but it is what this place is. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-21 05:23 am (UTC)[His eyes close as Basch kisses the crown of his head, staying there for at least a moment after. There's almost no thought to the words when he speaks them, comforted in the other's warmth.]
I didn't think it would be so difficult to understand people after watching them for so long, but it seems to keep happening. I'm very lucky that the citizens have always been devout enough to be patient with me, so that I can learn.
[this is absolutely, completely not how it's happening, probably doesn't even make sense based on how Olivine acts, but there's not an ounce of belief any other idea in the priest.]
–ART!! (cw: brief allusions of child abuse/child slavery)
Date: 2024-04-29 04:43 pm (UTC)But things are different now, she's free for the first time in eight years, and she's slowly come to enjoy fostering this particular talent, first covertly, sketching those she shares a bed with while they sleep, shoulders, hands, profiles, silhouettes, all drawn swiftly in the dead of night and tucked away protectively in the back of her notebook. It was only after Hua Cheng's message to the network about how he'd like to meet others who enjoyed drawing, that Nami began to embrace the idea of trying her hand at drawing folks who weren't asleep, and Basch, for all his sweet willingness to do things to make her happy, and gorgeously defined lines and angles, made him seem like a good person to ask.
Once in his room, she gets to work, adjusting how the lampshades in his room tilt to give off light, before pulling a chair close to a larger one, and getting it to a spot she thinks will cast interesting shadows on his form after he settles. Stopping there, Nami looks over at Basch, her head tilting gently towards the seat in question. ]
Can you take your shirt off? I want to try drawing your back, so when you sit, sit backwards.
[ She knows he likes being told what to do, which is what's gotten her this far, but for someone like her, who's cards are held close to her chest at all times, Nami feels a bit sheepish asking for this, finding it stupidly ironic how she can boss him around in the throes of passion, but almost wants to squirm where she stands after wanting something a little less frenzied and a little more personal. ]
What are you reading to me today?
no subject
Date: 2024-04-30 01:09 am (UTC)He's not expecting how self-conscious he feels when she actually arrives. He's been naked with her countless times, but he knows his scarred skin is a far cry from what art he's seen, and it's hard not to let his nerves eat at him as he tries to stay out of her way, watching her arrange and rearrange.
Orders, at least, are easier. Even in a question. He nods, arms going to pull off whatever frilly shirt the hotel has given him today. He's not quite bold enough to ask if she wants him fully nude. She'll tell him, she's sure. But he does swipe his latest library acquisition from beside the bed even before she asks. He was never going to get through this if he didn't have his own distraction.
He settles into the chair, it oddly easier and harder to be looking away from her. ]
Like this? And I found one about a fearsome pirate who captures a prince for random, but she realizes she's taken his guard captain by mistake.
[ Maybe it's too close to home, or maybe it will be nice. Sometimes they like to reenact the scenes from his reading. This one feels innately doable. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-30 01:29 am (UTC)Sounds like you went looking for a story like that on purpose.
[ Nami teases gently from behind Basch, waiting for him to settle in his chair before she moves close to smooth her fingers through his hair, adjusting the way it lays against the back of his neck and the very tops of his shoulders before stepping back to look him over thoughtfully. ]
Get the book ready, so I can pose you while you're holding it. [ Even though she's leaned into giving him orders, some part of her aware it'll put them both more at ease, Nami keeps her tone gentle, as though she's unable to suppress her fondness for Basch entirely. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-30 02:27 am (UTC)[ It's bolder than he usually is, but...sometimes she shows him that brief glimpse into something softer, where she likes to be thought of and taken care of. And more than that, she lets him. So if she does like it, he'll take note.
He doesn't suppress a pleasant shiver as she strokes his hair, thinking of other times those hands have been on him. It's easy to take the book, turn to the page he wants. He's not sure, but her tone seems different than it used to be, since that day with the armor. He isn't complaining. She's seemed more at ease, and that's all he wants for her. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-04-30 02:49 am (UTC)[ With his back to her, Nami's smile comes easily, her hands lingering in his hair for longer than they need to as he takes up the book and moves to get ready to read. That day when she'd helped him out of his armor, caught under the influence of some enchantment that made every bit of softness Nami's more comfortable keeping to herself slip out, did shift something between them, although she's not exactly sure she's got the words for it.
Being close to people is still too new, and all the different routes to closeness that have revealed themselves so far, have left her equally baffled, if not deeply happy despite that. Basch is far from the exception. He's safe and softer than a person that broad and strong has any right to be, after letting herself be drawn into that the first time, it's impossible to resist now.
Her hand his gentle on the side of his face as she guides his head to tilt slightly, making him seem almost pensive as he clasps the book. With a low hum, Nami bends down close enough to press her lips against his cheekbone before straightening and heading back to her notebook. ]
Stay still while you read, and I'll let you decide how I reward you for being my muse today.
[ Her grin warms through every word she says, sitting on the edge of the bed and getting her notebook and pencils ready before she begins to draw, glancing between him and the page, her lips still curving softly even as she's increasingly lost tin thought. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-01 05:44 pm (UTC)Then that hand is on his warm face. It sends heat through him, having her guide him like this. The kiss is a promise, and as she walks away, he keeps himself stone still, beginning to read. When he turns the page, he uses one thumb to press the page before the other catches it, back barely tensing.
It's like a training exericse, his muscles beginning to ask to be moved. No matter. His voice keeps going, a hazy chant more than real words, but when the story does flit into his mind, it's with Nami's image.
Unsurprisingly, it has a page of want within the first chapter, and as his voice brings to life the pirate queen touching herself in the cool shadows of a hidden alcove, he can't help the memories of Nami's sounds of pleasure, of the heat surging to his cock. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 01:33 am (UTC)There's a certain gravity about him, stoic and soft in equal measure, something warm and strong that radiates outward, softening the shadows that fall across the planes of his back under her pencil as she draws them, her eyes darting between the page and his form, working to get the lines of his body down the way she wants to. ]
Sounds like you like that idea.
[ Nami speaks up, after a few pages in the brief pause he takes while thumbing carefully through the book, the fantasies the story fills her imagination with sending a pang of want between her thighs, simmering low in her body, reflecting in the soft, but markedly inviting tone of her voice. ]
I'll be done by the end of the next page, then you pick your next pose.
Action; Howdy Neighbor!
Date: 2024-05-01 11:55 pm (UTC)He's been up here plenty of times now to know exactly who will be living next door. And with a mischievous smile on his lips, he moves to knock on the next door down, looking forward to surprising the other man with the news.
Hopefully he'd take it better than Wriothesley had... ]
Re: Action; Howdy Neighbor!
Date: 2024-05-02 05:02 pm (UTC)It’s Sylvain, and his expression is more mischievous than usual ]
Did I forget an arrangement we’d made, or are you here with a scheme? [ They both know it’s the latter. Basch has never forgotten plans they’ve made. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-02 10:44 pm (UTC)[ ....Yeah, not even he can hold a straight face for long at that blatant falsehood.
Breaking into an impish grin, he leans in to drop a kiss on Basch's lips in greeting, before letting his gaze roam appreciatively over the man's still wet body. ]
Man, I clearly need to drop by unannounced more often, if this is what I get for my troubles.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-03 04:26 am (UTC)[ The kiss is not a surprise, but it's still welcome. It's still a thrill Sylvain doesn't pull him behind closed doors or around corners. Whoever sees, sees.
And then he makes a show of looking. ]
You know I'll bathe with you any time you want [ Basch counters, but there's no bite to it. He appreciates the flattery, even if the read of the situation is silly.
He wants to say Sylvain is always werlcome, but the words don't quite make it out his throat. It's still a thing he has trouble with, sometimes, feeling like he's asking for too much of Sylvain's time. ]
Not an urgent matter, then?
no subject
Date: 2024-05-03 04:33 am (UTC)I suppose that depends on what you'd consider urgent, but not really. I do have a surprise for you, though. Got a second?
no subject
Date: 2024-05-03 04:39 am (UTC)For you, always. Do you want to come in?
[ Surprise makes his stomach flip, because with Sylvain that could be near anything. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-03 04:50 am (UTC)If I promise it'll be quick and that no one else will see you, will you trust me and step out here for a moment?
[ he knows it could be asking a lot, but he has a good reason.
He's also not going to turn down the opportunity to ogle him a while longer. He's pretty sure he's showing incredible restraint right now by not stepping closer and tracing that droplet of water sliding down Basch's torso as he watches.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-03 04:43 pm (UTC)I've never regretted giving you my trust [ He says lowly, something softer to it than he means as he steps into the hall. He can't help glancing around, but it's empty. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-04 12:06 am (UTC)And then he casually just reaches out to let his watch unlock the door for him and glancing over to wink at Basch when the door swings open automatically. ]
Surprise?
no subject
Date: 2024-05-04 04:00 am (UTC)They moved you?
[ And then... ]
They moved you next door.
[ His expression doesn't change. Old habits flare up, and he almost asks if this is a request for space, now that their bunks are closer.
But that's someone else, from his past, not Sylvain, and he shakes his head, shaking the memory and odd impulse away with it. Sylvain is here, and grinning, and holding his hand in a very public hall. ]
It will be much easier for you to come over this way. [ A smile, finally. ] Though, maybe now you'll prefer your room. This floor is quite generous.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-04 09:25 pm (UTC)Maybe this really had been a mistake...
Rubbing his free hand at the back of his neck, he tries to offer a little laugh, brushing it off as he lets go of the man's hand. He'd clearly already made this awkward enough. ]
Well, technically, I moved me. But the next door was a surprise, yeah. [ One he'd thought would be a good one, but he was apparently striking out left and right today. ]
I can... request another one, if you'd prefer?
no subject
Date: 2024-05-04 09:54 pm (UTC)No [ He says, too quick and too sharp at Sylvain's offer to request another. He catches the other's gaze, still trying to figure out--
Oh.
He's bungled this.
He steps closer, putting his own hand firmly at the small of Sylvain's Back and pulling him into kiss before he can make any other assumptions. ]
I was worried this was about you asking for space, but that was foolish when you were excited to show me. I'm sorry. Of course I want you next door.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-04 10:54 pm (UTC)[ He doesn’t understand. How does moving closer imply he wants less? Wouldn’t that indicate the opposite? But it’s not like he’s doing great with assumptions today, either.
And now he’s worried he pushed Basch into saying that because he felt like he had to.
Although he doesn’t pull away, even though confusion and uncertainty is clear in his posture. ]
It’s alright if you don’t. It just changed, so I can always ask for something different. It’s not like I have a lot to move.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 04:09 am (UTC)Basch steps forward, pushing Sylvain against the wall of the alcove around the door. He cages him with one arm, the other sliding from his back to his side, and kisses him, hard. ]
I want you to show me your room, little fox [ he breathes in Sylvain's ear, hoping the stern tone and gentle pet name will put Sylvain in a place of listening and trusting, before going for another kiss. ] And then I want you to picture me in it when I'm not there, and come find me as often as you like.
[ He draws back just enough to look Sylvain in the eye. ] I've never been dishonest with you, and I'm not starting today.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 04:39 am (UTC)Caged in, it’s all he can do to just kiss him back. Not that there’s a lot of other things he’d be wanting to do right now anyway, but that’s beside the point. Basch kisses him hard enough and long enough that he’s panting for air when the other man finally pulls back, eyes dark and a little dazed as he meets the man’s intense gaze.
And then those words sink in and he gives a little shiver as the man’s warm breath teases against the skin. His moan is once more swallowed up by a kiss and he leans into it this time, hands coming to slide around Basch and draw him in closer. Skimming over still-damp skin, tangling in his hair. ]
I can do that. [ His voice is low and husky, softer now. That tone very much had an effect and the return of that nickname makes him smile a little, even if it’s still a little self-conscious.
He’s pinned in place by that gaze. His tongue darts out, wetting dry lips, but he manages a nod. ] Okay. But you’ll tell me when I’m overstaying my welcome.
[ When, not if. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 04:59 am (UTC)Glad Sylvain is still reaching for him, pulling him close. He gives a low groan back, wanting the other to remember how much Basch likes all of this. He doesn't have any desire to throw it away. Just old wounds that act up sometimes.
He doesn't frown at Sylvain's wording, or try to argue. He just brushes his hair back, nodding in turn. ]
Alright. And you'll tell me when I'm overstaying mine.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 05:13 am (UTC)Instead he just nods, drags Basch in for one more kiss before offering him a crooked smile that’s slowly working its way back to convincing again. ]
So you wanna come help me explore? Maybe help me figure out if my bed is as comfy as yours?
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 05:42 am (UTC)[ Again, he knows not to push too hard or point out inconsistencies. And Sylvain isn’t shut down, and that smile is coming back to normal after another good, deep kiss.
It hasn’t occurred to him though that Sylvain wanted to explore the rooms with someone, and it’s deeply flattering Basch was one of the first he wanted there. ]
Yes, I do. And I want to see if the light on you looks any different in the morning than it does in my room.
[ Because he means to stay around as long and as often as Sylvain will have him. That hasn’t changed. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 07:30 pm (UTC)He leans in, kissing him in return, something almost like an apology in the gesture as he twines his arms around the man's waist. ]
Okay. I'll try. But... what made you think I wanted space?? I just moved in next door. That's pretty much the opposite of space.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-05 08:41 pm (UTC)The kiss, the arm around his waist, they're good. Basch winds his own back, kissing softer this time. An acceptance of an apology, and one in return.
It's hard to hear his own misstep called out, but he's glad Sylvain can voice it. Because then he can address it. Otherwise, anything he brought up would sound defensive. ]
When I was younger, I had what I thought was a fairly serious engagement with another officer. We kept it private, but it was to my understanding hardly casual. A room rearrangement left us next to each other. We were of similar rank; I thought it would make things easier. He let me know in no unclear terms that he did not want me to be seen coming or going from his rooms. I was reassigned not long after.
[ He cups Sylvain's face, brushing his cheek with a thumb. ]
It had nothing to do with you. Just a memory I wasn't prepared for.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-16 07:26 pm (UTC)Not that he's really one to judge. He'd treated scores of lovers with a similar carelessness. But he'd also tried to never imply that he was interested in more than a night with any of them. Although plenty had made assumptions anyway.
His arm tightens about Basch's waist as he glances over to meet his gaze, a frown on his lips. ]
He was a fool.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-17 01:00 am (UTC)We were both fools, in our own ways. But I know now he didn't need to be that cruel or indirect.
[ He twines his fingers in Sylvain's. If someone told him one night, he'd listen. If someone told him they were done, he'd listen. He used to think he was missing the cues. But he couldn't read minds. ]
I also realize now that I did not deserve that treatment. [ A steady gaze, and careful not to press too hard, but...Sylvain had been part of that. Realizing he was worth respect and direct expectations. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-17 01:11 am (UTC)[ He squeezes Basch's fingers gently, the words firm. A hint fierce. But then the expression melts away into something softer, fonder. Almost a hint sheepish. ] At least you've figured that out.
[ Some people never did. Not that he's talking from experience or anything.
But he leans in to steal a kiss before tugging Basch deeper into the room.
It's not all that different from most of the rooms on this floor, size-wise. It's certainly far nicer and far larger than the room he'd had down on the fourth floor. Not that that was a high bar, considering there'd been enough room for a too-small bed and that was about it.
He's still missing a kitchen, but he has time to work towards that. ]
Come on. I don't really have anything to fill this place with yet, but at least now I have room if I want to.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-17 03:20 am (UTC)And he wants to give it back. Wants to catch it beautifully. Wants to say...something that actually reflects how he feels.
But he's not Balthier, and the moment passes into a kiss, and then a tug, and he's missed it, and instead of feeling warm and treasured, he feels a little empty and not quite enough.
Maybe that's why his response slips out. ]
Do you want something, that's yours? I could make you something. [ Because he understands the sense of being unmoored, but he hadn't...quite meant to offer that. Surely Sylvain knows about the woodworking bench in Basch's room, but he hasn't left anything out to see except some little practice bits, and he hasn't made anything bigger in a long time. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-17 03:37 am (UTC)Make something? Like what?
[ There's a flare of interest in his eyes, an eager sort of interest as he searches Basch's face. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-17 03:46 am (UTC)But also, Sylvain looks so eager, and it's hard to look away, especially with that arm still around him. ]
I...carve? Wood. Whittle, really, and I'm rusty but....
[ He takes a deep breath. ]
I made larger things when I was younger. Side tables, mirror casings. I made a headboard for my mother, though it was very simple.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-17 03:50 am (UTC)But that information still comes as a surprise to him and his eyes widen a little. ]
I don't think there's any way that could be considered "simple". That's amazing, Basch! What would you want to make?
no subject
Date: 2024-05-20 03:23 am (UTC)I -- don't know. You don't need anything.
[ Which usually made deciding easier. ]
But I will think on it, and if there's something you'd like, you can tell me.
[ He has whittled a few small foxes inspired by the other's nickname, but he thinks a surprise would be better than saying so. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-20 03:35 am (UTC)[ Sylvain offers that as an option instead, casting him a playful wink.
And then sighing mournfully. ]
Alas, I am completely useless and have no talents to speak of, so I can't return the favor.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-20 03:49 am (UTC)Maybe it's good for you, having to just accept my affection.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-20 03:51 am (UTC)I'll just have to think up other creative ways to spoil you, then.
[ At least he's good at that. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-20 04:03 am (UTC)And I will do my best not to protest that.
[ Not that he does protest as much these days. Grows flustered, yes, but the resistance is lower, knowing how much Sylvain gets joy from spoiling him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-20 04:08 am (UTC)[ He looks a little smug about that, in fact.
But he gives another tug on Basch's hand as he leads him towards the door that leads to the second half of his suite. he didn't know what all the rooms on this floor looked like, but he'd lucked out to get one with a separate seating area at the entrance, and his private bedroom and bath tucked back in a second room, separated by a pair of double doors that were currently propped open. ]
I wonder if my tub is as big as yours...
[ He has very fond memories of that tub... ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-21 02:01 am (UTC)His lips curl into a smile at Sylvain's barely veiled invitation. ]
Should we find out? I wasn't quite done with my bath when you knocked.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-22 02:21 am (UTC)Well, I'd be all for that, but I haven't actually moved any of my stuff up here yet. So I am distinctly lacking in clothes. And soaps. And anything else we might need for that.
[ Does the resort even provide things like that or is he going to have to go shopping? The latter, probably. He's assuming, anyway. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-05-27 09:57 pm (UTC)[ It's a teasing ease he doesn't have with anyone else, and he doesn't even notice. Still he follows Sylvain to the new room, looking forward to spending time here. ]
Should we go get them together later today? I can lend a hand moving things, too.
no subject
Date: 2024-05-31 07:10 pm (UTC)[ He winks, playful and teasing, because Basch's eagerness is one of his favorite things. Something he encourages every chance he gets. ]
We can do that, although I don't want you to feel you have to. I honestly don't have that much, as I said. There was no room for it down there, even if I did want more things.
[ Stepping into the bathroom, he stops short to take in the large room, which is almost the same size as the sitting room. Certainly far larger than he'd expected. The far wall is one giant shower and there's a large soaking tub under another of those fake windows, this one projecting a distant seashore. The tub actually looks like it might be able to fit them both, too, if they wiggle right.
He gives a low whistle, impressed. ]
Okay, this made the rank jump entirely worth it, with this alone.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-02 11:38 pm (UTC)Do I need to pin you to the wall again and tell you to let me help? [ he asks, raising a brow teasingly. But he does file away that Sylvain wanted more things for when he decides what to carve. Not opposed to something larger, then.
But both those trains of thought dissipate as he watches Sylvain react to his new rooms. It strikes him, again, how intimate it is to be here, like he's seeing behind the scenes some how. Like Sylvain wants him there for the things that have nothing to do with sex or leisure or showing off.
And it is an impressive bathroom. ] It's a good deal cozier than mine, and much more private than the casino baths. When you're settled in, we can get room service and break it in. [ He's not usually so direct in telling Sylvain what they should do, but right now it seems the better strategy. Especially with pulling the other close again. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-03 03:54 am (UTC)If I say no, will you do it anyway?
[ he definitely doesn't sound at all reluctant about that.
But Basch's suggestion also has his eyes brightening in realization. ]
Wait, we can get room service up here?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-03 04:05 am (UTC)He's also starting to suspect Sylvain might like it if he just...did that sometimes. It's something he'll keep in mind.
His expression softens, though, at that genuine brightness. ]
Mmm. I usually go down because it's nice to leave, but I've used it a few times. [ Which means he actually knows how to do it! ] There's a small chance it's another attempt to get me to stay in my room and...entertain, but if that's the case, walking it one door down isn't a hassle.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-03 04:16 am (UTC)[ But the mirth in his gaze is unmistakable as he leans in to steal a kiss. ]
Stay in your room and entertain, huh? Well, that sounds fun, too. But I think I'm the one supposed to be entertaining tonight. I'm sure they can figure out the right room. If you figure out what we should get, anyway. I'm not really familiar with what we could even send for. I'm pretty sure the staff just pretended the rooms below the main floor didn't actually exist.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-03 04:51 am (UTC)I'll handle it tonight, and next time I'll walk you through it. [ Not a question. And a reminder he is going to keep being here. He does frown about the resort though. ] I'm glad you came up so often, and that you're here now.
[ He knew Sylvain was more than capable of handling hardships that were significantly lower than being in the field, but it still seemed absurd to need to in a place like this. Especially when their ranks were arbitrary. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-04 09:38 pm (UTC)Besides. The rules to the games here were far easier to navigate, and far more palatable, as hilarious as that would sound to most of the other residents.
Having taken in the room, he tugs Basch back out of the room and moves to flop across the large bed, tugging him with him. ]
Me, too. And I’ll certainly like not having to traipse back downstairs at the end of a date. [ Not that he did that very often. ] But almost all my favorite people are up here now, so I have zero complaints. Especially, [ he adds, smiling up at Basch with a knowing look, ] if it means I get to steal even more of your time.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-06 02:48 am (UTC)It takes so little to be tugged down beside Sylvain, and even less to pull a smile back. Basch rolls just enough to prop himself up, towel nearly dislodge. He notices, but does nothing about it, instead stroking Sylvain's hair away from his glowing face. ]
I like when you're happy, and I like having you so close. But I'm not sure it's stealing when it's so freely given.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-06 03:22 am (UTC)But it's more fun to steal it. Didn't you know there's a thrill in doing the forbidden?
[ Not that he saw any of this as forbidden. At all. If anything, he'd felt possessive of the man across from him since the moment he'd laid eyes on him.
Or at least since that enchanted leash had dragged him close and dropped him literally in Sylvain's waiting hands.
It still remained the very best part of that first evening here. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-06 03:38 am (UTC)[ His smile is warm, adoring even, and he does not realize the joke he's made. With most, he could never joke about being thrown away, because the inevitability was too great. He is not worried that his interest will drive Sylvain away. Hasn't been for awhile now. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-06 04:00 am (UTC)It was something he'd been lectured on far too many times in his life, the carelessness with which he'd treated countless hearts, discarding when they held no real interest for him. His whole reputation had been built around it.
He didn't want Basch to think, not even for a moment, that this was that. ]
No, Basch. There is nothing you could do that would cause that. Not when I'm just as eager for you.
[ A dangerous admission for him. One that skated perilously close to words he'd never uttered in truth. Never meant them. And more, they hinted at the endurance of what he was coming to feel for the other man.
Which, frankly, still scared the shit out of him. Which was why he'd been avoiding looking at it too closely in the first place. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 12:39 am (UTC)Even if it touches some deep, old wound he'd thought long passed. It's a strange relief to hear it. And not something he thought Sylvain would want to be pinned down to. So he catches the other's face, pressing their foreheads together. ]
I know [ he says, and he means it. ] You have treated me nothing short of wonderful, and I trust you completely.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 12:45 am (UTC)But he doesn't say that, even if he feels a pang. Feels a sting of shame that he might be somehow lying to the other man, even if it by omission. Instead, he kisses him again, softer this time. Almost an apology. ]
Honestly? I can't imagine ever growing tired of you. Of this. [ As far as confessions go, this one is soft and uncertain. hesitant. ] That... It's not something I've ever had before.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 12:57 am (UTC)He doesn't miss the hesitance in Sylvain, though. He knows him well enough now to read him, and when he needs to be caught for taking an uncertain jump. So Basch keeps his face close, cradling the other steadily, even as Sylvain's admission makes his own insides feel light and squirming all at once. ]
I haven't either, not like this. [ He kisses Sylvain's forehead before pressing their faces together again. It's true. Basch has often fantasized about staying in the throes of infatuation with partners but...it wasn't like this. It didn't feel...real or easy the way they do. That frightens him too. ]
I'm honored it's me. You know that, don't you? I don't need you to know what we're doing or where we're going. I like what we have and how we do it. A lot. That's more than enough.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 01:04 am (UTC)Never let himself want anything, either. That had been just as pointless. He'd learned from a very young age that letting himself want something just meant it hurt all the more when it was snatched away, or denied him.
He feels weird, having Basch be the one to comfort him over this, when Basch was apparently the one anticipating being discarded, or grown tired of. He wraps his arms around the other man, drawing him closer, even as he buried his face against his throat. Just holding him. ]
That's probably a good thing, then. Since I've no fucking idea, if I'm honest.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 01:18 am (UTC)And he knows how hard it is for Sylvain to acknowledge the things that make him vulnerable. That he's willing to speaks volumes to how much he values Basch. There is no other comfort needed, though he certainly won't protest the way the other nestles into him, clinging to him so sweetly. Basch shifts so they can lie together more comfortably, scooping Sylvain closer to him, gently stroking his back. ]
That suits me just fine [ he rumbles. ] And I'm looking forward to having you closer.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 01:24 am (UTC)I'm not sure I can get any closer without crawling inside of you. And that... didn't sound quite so weird when it was still in my head.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 02:34 am (UTC)Where you are is perfect.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 02:40 am (UTC)With you, you mean?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 02:43 am (UTC)Yes, as often as you're willing.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 02:45 am (UTC)That might be an awful lot.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-07 02:56 am (UTC)[ He hums against the kisses though, content in his bones. ]
may event -> action
Date: 2024-05-28 02:55 am (UTC)it had always been a possibility -- cloud, for all of his idiocy, understood the risk. but that risk had been parallel to the loss of losing his sword, of losing zack again.
j has had him on guard at the roost, but he's snuck away momentarily, lingering around house finch. he's dressed in a black waist coat and white flannel, an outfit that very stereotypically characterized him as staff, pulling him away from throngs of people. he notices another man -- eyes keen and aware, in pursuit of something, anything.
cloud speaks from behind him. ]
...Trying to sniff something out, too?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-02 10:38 pm (UTC)But he couldn't fault someone else for having stronger reasons to try. Especially with the promise of weapons from home. He was a solider. He knew how a missing tool could be like a missing limb.
Cloud doesn't surprise him, even if his attention is elsewhere. Basch is too seasoned at what he does, and he's been trying to get a handle on the staff. He wishes Balthier were here -- not the trapped part, but because the pirate is a better read of people and systems than he is. Still. Usually the staff don't speak in anything but pleasantries, and so he suspects this is someone like him, who has wound up on the wrong side of J. The House would never let them work. ]
I am, though it seems I am more patient in my methods. [ There's no venom in it, nor any teasing. The observation of someone used to teaching; nothing more. ]
Beach Prompt: Basch's Backside Bonanza (NSFW)
Date: 2024-06-16 12:48 am (UTC)Being strapped into what looks like stocks. Fully naked. The sight is enough to have his steps stumbling to a halt, and then redirecting his course until he comes to a stop in front of the trapped man. His expression is caught somewhere between utterly amused and just a little horrified on his lover's behalf.
Less horrified, because he can see the man's body already reacting to this and oh, if that isn't an interesting tidbit.
His thoughts are already spinning. He can work with this. ]
....Do I even want to know?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-16 06:13 pm (UTC)You always do, little fox. [ He gets the words out, but fails to keep any bravado in his voice. Which means he just sighs, shaking his head. At least it's the hazy edge of twilight, and he won't burn out here waiting naked for a savior. Or...master. ]
I honestly didn't even know I was signed up for their game, or I may have tried to avoid this.
[ Then again, from what he'd gleaned from the rules, this was still possibly easier. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-16 08:52 pm (UTC)Which was difficult when Basch was completely naked and bent over so enticingly. Although he does glare away a pair of unknown guests watching with hungry looks, a flare of possession in him ]
Well. I can either go beat up a couple of birds, or we can figure out another way to get you out of here. What are you feeling, sweet?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 05:59 pm (UTC)I...don't feel confident they won't drag me back.
[ Even now, he can't...quite admit that the idea of Sylvain fucking him like this, trapped and on display, makes his knees weak. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 06:05 pm (UTC)Punishment it is, then. I think we can come up with something.
[ His hand strokes against the bound man's cheek, soothing and coaxing all in one. ] You're going to be good for me during your punishment, aren't you?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 07:12 pm (UTC)Entirely obedient. [ Not that he's sure he can do much in this position, but Sylvain is often creative. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 07:27 pm (UTC)[ he smiles into that kiss, combing his fingers through Basch’s hair before he straightens again, eyes dark with anticipation. ]
Then be patient for me a moment, pet. I just need to grab something.
[ Or someone, as it were. Not that he informs Basch of that. But he’d spotted a familiar head of green hair nearby and that has those wicked plans in his head spinning in a new direction.
It’s only a few steps outside Basch’s range of hearing, but that’s enough as he approaches Olivine, reaching out to clasp the priest’s chin and drag him into an abrupt kiss in greeting. If only to knock him speechless for long enough to get his proposition out. ]
Up for playing a game, Oli? Nod your head if you are - I don’t want you to say a word until I give you permission, if you agree to this.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 08:42 pm (UTC)The redhead is lucky it works long enough to keep him from speaking up.]
Mmn...?
[It takes him a second to catch up even once it ends, blinking owlishly as the taller man speaks. What is he up to now...? Brows knit in confusion and curiosity—but honestly, it's Sylvain. Just a moment of searching those brown eyes, and he nods.
Little does he know just how difficult an ask that's about to be.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 09:35 pm (UTC)It also reminds him there is some danger someone else might step in while Sylvain is away. His cock only hardens further at the thought of Sylvain chasing them off, claiming him so directly.
Gods he is not getting out of this without a smattering of new fantasies.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 10:01 pm (UTC)Grinning at Olivine and dropping one more quick kiss on the priest's lips, he tugs him back in the direction of where Basch is secured in the stocks. Of course, they're coming from behind, so all Olivine can see is Basch's very pretty backside and Basch... won't be able to see a thing.
He plucks a vial of oil off a nearby table - making sure he grabs the lube and not the suncreen - before positioning Olivine directly behind Basch. He places the bottle in Olivine's hand and winks at him before leaning in to murmur softly in his ear - just quiet enough that Basch won't be able to hear. ]
I want you to get him ready.
[ And then he lets his hands slide up Basch's spine in a familiar caress, stepping around the stocks so Basch can see him and know he's still safe. Although he's pretty sure the man would recognize his touch by now anyway. ]
Still doing okay, pet? Ready to play?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 10:24 pm (UTC)That alone says a lot about the trust he feels toward him—that, even without knowing who the bound man is yet, he's comfortable believing that this will be fine. He exhales a soft noise and nods at those words, holding this bottle of lube and feeling... well, a little out of his element. But if Sylvain will direct him, he also doesn't mind.
He does wait for now, though. The taller man drifts to Basch's front and speaks, and it takes everything Olivine has not to squirm in his waiting. There's definitely not a part of him that feels envy of Basch being the one in this position, either. Really.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 10:55 pm (UTC)[ But his voice is husky, not worried in the least. The last time Sylvain called him pet was a very good evening, and his cock is already hard enough to be craving the other's touch.
Though -- he doesn't see anything in Sylvain's hands, and the other hasn't touched him yet. What on earth did he go to do? ]
Play with me until you're satisfied.
[ To be clear he doesn't need this rushed. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 10:58 pm (UTC)[ Sylvain informs him cheerfully, even if they both know that's a lie. He's always taken care of Basch's limits, the things that might bring him discomfort. But he's equally aware of the things his lover might crave without being brave enough to consider it himself. ]
And, oh, I intend to. In a round about way.
[ Which is when he glances down the length of Basch's back to meet Olivine's gaze behind him, one eyebrow quirking upwards, as if to ask. Well? ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 11:15 pm (UTC)He's already uncapped the bottle by the time Sylvain answers Basch's comments, slicking is fingers liberally with some of the contents. This is—not something he's used to doing on anyone other than himself, but it's simple to follow that same logic anyway. That said, he's much more careful than he is with himself, for a lot of reasons. One hand comes to rest gently on Basch's hip as one finger slips between his cheeks to trace his hole. It's really very different from his own, and Olivine is abruptly completely aware of why most people actually worried about having enough lube for this. Basch is so tight like this...]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 11:43 pm (UTC)And then his entire body goes rigid, shuddering with unsuspecting pleasure as he moans. There's a very warm, human hand tracing his hole with the slickness of lube.
His gaze goes hazy even as he searches for Sylvain's face, his own questioning and wide-eyed. Was...Sylvain going to have someone else fuck him and watch? Or at least prep him?
The way his cock jolts betrays how much he doesn't mind that idea. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 11:47 pm (UTC)Stay relaxed for me, pet. We're going to play a new game tonight. And you promised to be good for me, did you not?
[ Threading his fingers in Basch's hair, he grips on, tipping his head back slightly and holding him in place. And then his gaze meets Olivine's over his back once more, lips still curved in a pleased smile. ]
I want you to stretch him slowly. No more than two fingers for the moment. Open him up for me. He makes the most delicious noises when he gets so needy.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-18 01:20 am (UTC)this whole experience is going to be torture for him just because of how much he's going to want after this.]
Mm.
[it's a soft affirmative, one that at least doesn't give away who he is for now, alongside his nod. gaze dropping to the blond's spine, he lets his fingers drift down its length in a warm, soothing motion. around that same time, the first finger slips inside him, flexing gently against the tight ring of muscle there before easing in. just a little at a time, almost infuriatingly slowly. part of that might be him not knowing how much the other can take at once... but honestly, a lot of it is just quiet fascination and affection for the man he's toying with.
it doesn't hurt that he's definitely used to playing with himself, so his fingers are devastatingly efficient at seeking out little sensitivities as he goes, sinking in past the second knuckle only to bend his finger and drag it out again, so that the bone catches on his entrance briefly.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-18 11:51 pm (UTC)And that's before his unknown assailant very deftly begins to massage his opening. The moan caught in his throat turns to a whimper, knees buckling momentarily as his hips briefly jut. The whole motion pulls his head back, only to have Sylvain's grip sting lightly against his scalp. He struggles to adjust himself and try and keep still. ]
Have you been fantasizing about this? [ he rasps, gaze dragging down Sylvain's face. He's not sure if it's hotter -- or more terrifying -- if this was calculated or entirely spontaneous. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-19 12:25 am (UTC)And he can already guess at the wants that might be stirring in the priest's mind. But they have time, after all. He wants to see how this will go first.
Basch's voice is full of his own want, already husky and low and the familiar sound of it has his smile widening as he glances down into the bound man's face. ]
Not exactly this. I can't say I foresaw you getting yourself locked in some very public stocks. But thought about something similar? I might have, once or twice. When you were so needy for me at the Gilded Cage and at the club after, for instance. I wondered what you'd think of it. If you'd like it.
[ He brushes his fingers along Basch's tipped jaw, noting the growing flush to his cheeks as well. ] And I think you've given me your answer quite prettily.
[ His gaze flits back to Olivine again, fond amusement still invisible. ] He very much liked whatever you just did. In case you missed that part. [ Which he doubted. but he did enjoy teasing them both. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-19 02:10 am (UTC)none of that stops him from his actions, though. not when the other responds so nicely to the crook of his finger, expression thoughtful and curious when Sylvain's gaze lands on it. he absolutely hasn't missed anything—but his gaze lifts up to the redhead and he just... nods.
God, he wants to speak again. Olivine actually didn't think it would be this difficult to follow that simple order. still, he keeps up his ministrations, waiting for the familiar sensation of the blond's body relaxing, so he can slip a second finger in. it moves out of time with the first for now, raking along his inner walls with just the slightest scissoring stretch.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-19 04:03 am (UTC)I wasn't sure, before that. I don't think I'd want to try if it wasn't you.
[ There's a thrill, too, to knowing he has two audiences -- whoever happens to stop and watch (which is no small thing today), and the stranger at his back. Does it excite them? repulse them?
But then he's turning red to his navel, embarrassed and proud all at once as Sylvain draws the stranger's attention to Basch's reactions like he's showing off a prize, but also making sure Basch is taken care of. He doesn't have time to dwell on it, because he's moaning again, body shuddering as a second finger joins, actively loosening him. ]
Fuck.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-19 04:18 am (UTC)[ His amusement audible in his voice, Sylvain combs his fingers through Basch's hair with a faint smirk. Watching both of them with a hungry gaze. ]
There's those pretty sounds I love. I'm going to step around behind you now for a few moments, alright? But I'm still right here. And if you need to see me again, you've only to say so.
[ He's not sure about leaving Basch's line of sight, when they'll both be behind him and they're out in public like this. But he's hoping he'll be distracted enough that it won't be a problem.
Waiting for acknowledgement from Basch first, he then moves back around behind the stocks - but only to move behind Olivine and wrap his arms around his waist, plucking the bottle of oil from his other hand and slicking his fingers. ]
Three fingers now. [ This time, the murmur is loud enough for Basch to hear his voice.
And then he slides his hands down Olivine's swim trunks and curls those oil-slicked fingers around his cock, stroking him teasingly, knowing just how he liked it. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-19 04:35 am (UTC)even as he lets go of the bottle of oil, that makes him glance back in some measure of confusion, completely lost to his intentions. it's a terribly different situation from what he's used to, that's all. and he doesn't know what he expected, but this?? is not it.]
Mmnh—
[his fingers twitch as Sylvain's hand slides into his trunks and curls around his cock, hand pulling away from Basch's back to cover his mouth in a bid to keep quiet. really, that is the least fair after your rules, sir!! he's gotten that Sylvain wants to keep Basch from knowing who he is, after all, and Olivine... does not have the least distinct voice by any means.
plus, having a hand stroking his cock even in its half-hard state is distracting when he's supposed to be stretching Basch. movements get a little clumsier, but they're no less teasing overall. once he's able to slip a third finger in, he does start searching in earnest for the blond's prostate, wanting to see him—and feel him—react.
they are going to absolutely ruin you for this one day, Sylvain. one day.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-20 01:37 am (UTC)But Sylvain moving out of his view means he's suddenly confronted with just how many folks are openly watching them. Judgement or laughter would be easier, he thinks. The hunger is stranger, heavier somehow.
His ears are straining now, and he catches Sylvain's order, and the muffled sound from the other person. Someone Sylvain knows then? Or was he bold enough to pull a stranger into this?
Basch doesn't have time to think, or to worry, because in another moment, there's a third finger entering. It doesn't matter if its clumsier, because the owner knows where to direct it. Basch's eyes clamp shut, toes curling against the ground and back arching up as he lets out a breathless whine. He clenches around those fingers, hips rocking on their own, even as he forces himself to draw in breath.
It occurs to him in a slight panic that the rules were serving the pleasure of the other. If this person wanted, they could bring him to orgasm again and again until he wept and couldn't stand, and Basch could do nothing about it. He doesn't think Sylvain would let them, not past Basch having fun -- and some part of that scenario is thrilling -- but he can't help the thread of tension that goes through him, a lifetime of real humiliation and a few years of imprisonment deep in his memory.
Even as he moans again, body seeking that pleasure even as it worries. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-20 01:56 am (UTC)Or maybe it's just that he's seen so often, how the man's thoughts can strangle and pull at him. His free hand slides along the curve of Basch's ass in a soothing gesture, even as his other hand continues to stroke Olivine to hardness. His lips trail against the priest's shoulder in slow, playful nips and kisses. Seeing if he can get more of a moan to slip free.
He knew he'd set a fairly impossible task for the other man, especially with what he had in mind, but he enjoyed seeing Olivine try, even as pleasure had his own skin flushing, eyes darkening with want. ]
That's it. Just like that. Nice and slow and deep. Breathe for me, Basch. I'm still right here. [ Just so any anxiety didn't get the best of him.
But he does speed his paces a little, slicking Olivine's cock with oil, thumb teasing against the head as he works him to hardness. Knowing exactly what Olivine liked and using all that knowledge against him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-20 03:46 am (UTC)Honestly, he's just proud that the only thing that escapes him is a moan. Hips rise into the touch even as he works all the more diligently to see to Basch's pleasure, slow and deep but still markedly careful.
Lips part and he almost speaks, catches himself. Gives Sylvain an almost pleading look past long lashes, instead. His free hand lowers again about now, joining Sylvain's on the opposite side to soothe and steady. His thumb brushes fondly over the swell of Basch's hip, occasionally twitching as his concentration wanes.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-20 04:14 am (UTC)The familiar touch to his ass does wonders. This isn't so different from anything else they've done, after all, and who knows him better than Sylvain?
Then there's a second hand, and a low moan escapes him again, the pleasure returning to the languid teasing. It's...comforting, and gentle. Warm. Not what he's expecting from some third party participant. It makes this easier. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-20 04:23 am (UTC)Good boy.
[ Which one is he talking to? One? Both? It's impossible to tell and he doesn't clarify.
But he nudges Olivine's swim trunks down and out of his way, gently tugging out his cock as he keeps stroking him. His length is nicely slicked now and he nudges him closer. In between Basch's spread legs, as Olivine's warm skin is pressed flush to the back of his thighs.
And he guides the tip of Olivine's cock to tease over that tight ring of muscle. Teasing them both with the sensation of it. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-20 04:53 am (UTC)Ha-aah?!
[his cock presses against his fingers at Sylvain's guidance, tip teasing Basch's entrance and receiving more than enough stimulation of its own. Sylvain, you monster. but then—he can't deny it feels good. better than the last time (the first time) he'd done it, by far, and it's something he can do to give back a little for all they've given him, perhaps.
anyway, his fingers shift to start pulling free of Basch, because as unusual as it is for him to be on this end, he doesn't mind... and he also doesn't need to lose his mind completely because Sylvain wants to be a huge brat, thanks!!!]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-21 01:32 am (UTC)But then there's a swell of warmth behind him, and a startled, erotic sound that he can almost place the owner of...until there's a cock at his entrance, one that is decidedly not Sylvain, and he lets out his own whimpering moan, as much because he's into it as because oh, gods, he's into it. And Sylvain and everyone else can see that so clearly.
But his back arches of its own volition, ass angling to make this easier. Gods, he wants this, curiosity and shame and a streak of defiant exhibitionism all driving him onward.
And that this is what Sylvain wants to do with him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-22 08:56 pm (UTC)Olivine's surprise catches him a little by surprise as well, but he continues trailing kisses along his throat and shoulder as his focus narrows in on him for a moment, as if to check in that he's still okay with this. His cock is hardening even more in his hand, so he's taking that as a good sign, even as he rubs the sensitive head of his cock against that hungry ring of muscle currently clenching about Olivine's fingers. ]
I've got you. Pull your fingers out now, sweet, he's good and stretched. And he'll feel so good and tight around you. So hungry to take all of you. Aren't you, pet?
[ There's fondness in his voice as he addresses both of them, his smile audible, even as he nudges Olivine even closer, his hand guiding the priest's cock into breaching that tight ring of muscle. Pressing him into Basch's eager body, even as his other hand soothes over the curve of Basch's backside, feeling the way he shudders and presses back, chasing more. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-23 01:09 am (UTC)Fingers pull back and find themselves space on a hip, breath hitching as he follows Sylvain's guidance and his cock slips past that ring of muscle, hips twitching at the dizzying heat. It's more than he expected, to be sure. Hotter by far than a mouth, especially as he slides in deeper.
God, but he wants to speak. To confirm how good it feels, how tight it is—to alleviate any worry Basch might have as to who is with him, maybe. But he's also always been one to try his very hardest to behave when given an order, so speech is off the table.
He can't stop his moans now though, husky and deep and warm. And though he's notably average compared to Sylvain's size, the blond is so tight around him.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-23 01:43 am (UTC)Yes [ he rasps obediently, as much for his unknown partner as for Sylvain. ] You already...feel so good.
[ Because he does understand, if their roles were reversed, that hearing a clear yes would make it easier.
He groans as the other's cock starts to press past his outer ring, body sensitive and shuddering. The others moans are just as wanting, and again, dance on the edge of his knowledge. He doesn't have enough brain to direct at them.
Basch tries to keep still, but his ass rocks, clearly ready for more, his hands clenching and unclenching since all he can do is try to stay stable and wait. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-23 05:40 am (UTC)He moves his hand out of the way, letting Olivine find his own pace as he pushes in deeper, his hands sliding over the man's hips, up his ribs. Playfully drifting higher to give a tug on one of the pretty chains that dangle from his piercings. ]
I want you to fuck him, just like this. Slow and deep. Draw it out. I want to see how much you both enjoy it. Feel how good he feels, so tight and needy around you. He wants more. And, I think, so do you, yes?
[ He's pretty sure he knows that answer already, but he lets one hand slide down to grasp at Basch's hips, shifting his angle as he nudges Olivine forward with how he's pressed against his ass. Starting the motion in the rock of his hips, guiding Olivine along with him. He has more plans, still, but he wants to make sure they're both comfortable with this much before going to the next step. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-23 07:57 am (UTC)so, despite that clumsy feeling he still has, he can settle into a comfortable pace. still slow, but it's as he gets his bearings rather than any hesitation on his part. at least, until hands slide up to his chest to tug a chain, resulting in a marked jolt of the priest's hips.]
Haauh—I—
[he isn't sure if that's permission to speak or if Sylvain is just teasing since they both know he can read every reaction Olivine makes... but he can't cease that breathless noise in any case. his eyes and his tone answer wordlessly—he does want more, yes.
hips box him in and that's enough to keep him anchored, pressed forward and allowed back. the movements are ultimately his own, a little more stuttery than Sylvain's as he pulls back because God, that is a lot of sensation he isn't used to.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 02:01 am (UTC)His unknown partner is not particularly large nor aggressive, and that's it's own teasing. He enters slow, steady, enough to stimulate him but not enough to overwhelm, fanning his heat slowly.
Then there's a sound and Basch cries out in turn, body clenching around the sudden jolt. And he has no doubt how that happened. ]
Sylvain, be gentle with him.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 02:23 am (UTC)You're not supposed to be the one giving the orders right now, remember? [ It's said with obvious teasing, not wanting Basch to take that seriously either. But also he had been being gentle. Mostly. ] Someone is just deliciously sensitive.
[ And they both should know him well enough by now that he's terrible at resisting temptation.
Still, his hands go back to sliding over Olivine's skin as he rocks him forward again, still guiding that motion. Setting the pace even though it is Olivine's cock pressing into Basch and not his own. ]
But that just makes this all the more fun. Especially since i can tease both of you at the same time, this way.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 02:38 am (UTC)They both know intimately how sensitive he is, after all... which Sylvain brings up succinctly and prompts a soft, almost answering hum from Olivine. He'd actually say so, but—
Really, he's not sure what keeps him from breaking the rule: Sylvain's actual order and his wanting to be obedient, or the fact that Basch is plainly enjoying this. Would it still feel like "using" him if he knew?
Either way, he's definitely still being good, following Sylvain's movements (partly because he just likes the way his hips feel against his ass, thank you) and only giving a brief pout at the confirmation that he's just teasing both of them. Honestly, this is worse than when he's tied up and can't do anything.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 02:50 am (UTC)And Sylvain's reaction is only encouraging. ]
Are you going to punish me?
[ He moans again, though, as Olivine rocks in, and at Sylvain's admission this is double teasing. Being used like that certainly does something for him, and he expects he won't be given actual relief for a little while yet. ]
I'm...more patient than you...sweet.
[ Even if he's starting to pant. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 02:57 am (UTC)[ You're the one in the stocks, after all.
But that grin in his voice lingers, even as he slides his hands up to tease over Olivine's ribs, then drifting to both of his nipples, playing and tugging and twisting as he rocks his hips forward again. A little sharper this time. ]
Mmm, it seems our pretty pet is still thinking too much. We should do something about that, hmm?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 03:21 am (UTC)Those thoughts are abruptly interrupted by Sylvain's hands, drifting up to tease his nipples and pulling another sharp groan from him in turn. It's in time with the sharper buck of those hips too, seeing him jolting in turn, hips slapping against Basch's.
Thinking too much, he says, and the priest has to take a moment to try and wrack his brain for a nonverbal answer. What would he want if he was going to stop thinking...? The shift of hips is clear enough, but—his fingers shift, trembling in his sensitivity as his whole body wants to squirm at the teasing.
And, quite abruptly, he lets them dig into the blond's hips, gripping firmly to pull them into his thrusts, shifting to try and find just the right spot.
... it really is much harder when he's not using his fingers.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 04:17 am (UTC)Something about being called our pet pulls another moan from him. That Sylvain wants to share, and that this stranger has some ownership, is electric for him. Even before the threat of being silenced registers.
It doesn't matter, because in another moment Olivine is bucking into him, and then hands join it, digging in as his ass meets warm flesh. He arches, moaning lowly as his body tries to meet the movements he can't predict. ]
Yes [ he rasps, more for his unseen partner than Sylvain. His hands clench and unclench, wishing for purchase on something as the sensation increases. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 04:25 am (UTC)[ He murmurs the soft praise in Olivine's ear, fingers teasing sensitive skin as his lips once more trail kisses down the priest's throat. ]
Just like that. You're doing perfectly. Listen to how he moans for you. How he's already chasing you for more. Make him feel good. Make him beg for you.
[ His eyes are on both of them, the way Basch arches back, the way he clenches around Olivine's cock as he presses in at a new angle. The way Olivine's fingers bite into the soft flesh of his ass, leave the imprint of nails in his skin - something else he knows Basch will love.
This is almost as much fun as fucking either of them himself. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 12:16 pm (UTC)[really, he still feels clumsy. Sylvain says he's doing fine though, and Basch responds encouragingly besides—so he doesn't feel the need to slow down or stop by any means. (even if he's practically squirming with Sylvain still pressed behind him, working up more of his need.)
it's more embarrassing somehow, though. listening to the way the blond moans and feeling how he moves; how he himself would respond, honestly. maybe it's that it feels so... greedy, even though he's giving this for Basch too. for that fact alone he keeps going though, pressing past his instinctive preconceptions.
nails shift and drag, raising soft red welts on tan skin. those he marvels at too, so different from how they look on his own, as his pace picks up—sharper, harder, thighs aching with the unfamiliar movement.]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-27 02:08 am (UTC)And that's before Olivine adds the deep drag of his nails and increased pace. He absolutely keens, cock jumping and hands clenching. There's nothing he can do but try to keep as stable as possible. ]
F-fuck. Fuck Sylvain. If this is...your payback...for your birthday....it's working.
[ And then he's whimpering again, thoughts vanishing. ]
Please...keep going...
[ Which has his gut on fire, heat in his cheeks at following that order, but wanting his unknown partner to know Sylvain is right. He does want this. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-28 10:53 pm (UTC)[ That smile is only growing more and more audible in his voice as he rocks again, making sure Olivine has a good grasp on the pace he wants him to maintain. That he will keep chasing both their pleasures, even if Sylvain can feel the way he stutters over the movements. Which is surprising - Olivine had never struck him as particularly shy or uncertain when they've fucked. But this is a new scenario, and maybe he's not so comfortable in a more dominant position like this. Even if Sylvain is still calling the shots.
So he does what he can to reassure him, gives him a pattern to follow, a guiding hand on his hip as he lets him fall into the rhythm of it. Only when he's certain Olivine is okay with it does he finally shift out from behind him. ]
Keep doing that. Just like that. But no coming yet, my pets. We're not ready for that just yet.
[ Just to be extra frustrating here.
He steps around to the front of the stocks again, bringing himself back into Basch's line of sight - and Olivine's, as well - as he smirks down at the blond and tangles his fingers into tousled blond hair. Tipping Basch's flushed face back towards him so he can drink in the hunger written in his expression. ]
I hadn't thought of that, actually, but I suppose this is a good start of it, hmm? You so enjoyed the experience, after all, it's only fair you get to enjoy both sides of it. Now open that pretty mouth for me, hmm?
[ he slides his hand into his own swim trunks, wrapping it around his own erection and stroking once, twice, before drawing it out to slide the tip against the man's lips. His eyes flit between Basch and Olivine, constantly assessing both of them, making sure they're still comfortable, even as he tries to orchestrate this in a way they'll all enjoy. ]
I'm sure you can manage to pleasure us both, can you not?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-29 03:13 am (UTC)still, there's a soft, bitten-off whine when Sylvain moves away from him finally, warm air not enough for his skin. it's alongside the absent nod he gives at Sylvain's orders, keeping that same pace, his thumbs press more gently into the curve of Basch's hip, soothing the rougher pressure of his fingers holding the blond in place. not coming... he can manage it for now, at least. there's so much to be overwhelmed by that he's not actually in danger of it yet.
teeth press to his lip in absent thought, as the taller two continue their conversation, a marvel he feels almost like an intruder for. he's not, obviously, but the priest's experiences with multiple partners are... very, very limited still. all of his thoughts are a little disjointed with the sensations, too, so perhaps he feels a little less out of place now compared to before.
the reality is that he's probably not going to completely lose that sort of unsure touch, for reasons Sylvain hasn't come to just yet. but he's comfortable enough, especially with Basch's encouragements leading him on, and the faintly devious intent to make the man squirm and struggle a little doesn't pass him, because he's sure he'd enjoy it. once he finds it, he can tease his prostate at unpredictable intervals, leaning forward without someone to lean back into.
again, he's not entirely sure which of them Sylvain is speaking to in that moment. Basch would presumably make the most sense since the blond is secured enough that he'd be hard to move to assist in pleasuring Sylvain, but there's also the fact that Olivine's pleasure is mostly his own doing... but it doesn't matter, he supposes. if he's doing something wrong, he'll be corrected, because that's sort of their dynamic too.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-01 02:34 am (UTC)Then Sylvain's back in his view, hand in his hair in the commanding way he likes, and the undignified sound of want he makes is surprising even to him. His mind almost can't process how good the stimulation in his ass feels while seeing Sylvain's face from this angle, and he shudders, body aching to hold the other while he can do nothing but brace himself. And then Olivine hits his prostate, and he whimpers, eyes clamping shut and knees nearly buckling.
He manages to open them in time to see Sylvain reaching into his swim shorts, and his mouth falls open in want, no longer even concerned with trying to measure if his reactions are reasonable. This is going to break him, and he has never wanted to be broken more. ]
Use me [ he manages to plead breathlessly, a confirmation as much as an invitation. And then, his entire body on fire, eyes lock on Sylvain as he squirms and stumbles against another jab to his prostate, he parts his lips wide, fingers reaching helplessly for the warm flesh he knows so well. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-05 04:06 pm (UTC)He just hopes Olivine will be able to enjoy himself just as much - the priest looks a little distracted by the sensations, which again strikes Sylvain as strange, considering how their interactions go. He'd missed a step here, he thinks, but he doesn't know what step it was. Something he was going to have to investigate after this.
But right now, he keeps the pace moving, smirking fondly down into Basch's upturned face, dark eyes drinking in the sight of his flushed skin and lust-dazed gaze. The way his parted lips are already ready, greedy for what he knows what Sylvain will gives him. Body reaching, fingers straining to touch, even if the stocks keep him fully pinned in place. It means Sylvain can completely control the amount he gives the blond and he does it in deliberately slow increments. Shifting close enough that Basch can only wrap his lips around the tip of him, and even then, keeping it a pull against his restraints. Knowing it will have him tightening even further around Olivine as his body strains. ]
I intend to, pet. But you're going to be good and tight around our friend, aren't you? You're going to make him come before I give you what you want. I told him he couldn't talk, but I want you to make him moan.
[ There's wicked mischief in his eyes as he holds Olivine's gaze over Basch's back, playful smile curving on his lips. He reaches out with the hand that isn't still wrapped around his cock, playfully tugging on one of those chains dangling from the priest's pierced nipples, knowing how sensitive he always is. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-05 07:15 pm (UTC)Mmnh—
[His eyes don't widen as much as they might have with someone else. Olivine knows Sylvain, after all, even before the fact that he hasn't been making the effort easy. Basch will be able to guess how he feels about that easily, given the way his cock twitches and throbs at the idea.
Olivine did say he really liked it when he was "forced" to endure pleasure, after all.
Speaking of: his pace hitches briefly as Sylvain reaches to tug on a chain, biting back the urge to squirm as the tug only further reddens his skin and teases the nubs to (even more) puffy arousal. Another groan escapes, naturally, breathless and remarkably needy... for Basch not knowing who he is, that is. His gaze stays on Sylvain's, distraction frolicking there as every sensation rolls through him.
Truthfully? He's probably a lot closer than Sylvain is calculating, given the fact that there's no way he's going to be able to hold back when he already has so many rules and instructions to focus on.]

Date: 2024-07-08 11:54 pm (UTC)The other sounds like he's enjoying it too, and Basch does what he can to stay clenched, meeting the increasingly jagged strokes with his own rocking as he searches for more groans. It's getting difficult on tired legs, and his breath grows uneven. His cock aches, begging for release, and he feels tears from exertion budding at the edges of his eyes. He's not sure he's ever been pushed this far, and certainly not in a circumstance that still was, ultimately, crafted with such affection. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-09 12:08 am (UTC)[ That was aimed at both of them as he watches them with dark, hungry eyes. Enjoying the flush of pleasure, the need in their own expressions, their movements.
He can feel the strain in Basch between them and gives him what he wants, pressing deeper into the wet heat of his mouth. He rocks, sliding against the man’s tongue. Matching his movements to the thrust of Olivine’s hips so they’re both filling him deep, from either end.
As for Olivine, he gives that chain another tug, drawing him in closer over Basch’s back as he fucks him, even as he leans in to kiss him there, holding him as if he’s leashed by his piercings. His lips still curved in a smirk. ]
If you want to come, Basch, you can after you’ve made our friend do so, and not before. Once you feel him spill inside of you, you have my permission to follow.
[ Because he recognized the timbre of those moans too well - from both of them. He knows exactly how close they both are. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-09 10:13 am (UTC)and his cock twitches as the redhead tugs his chain again, moan muted into the kiss, a familiar little shimmer built up in his eyes. fingers squeeze in something like reassurance—not that he can't tell he's close, probably, but that's hardly the point.
when he does finally spill, absent any orders not to, the priest will absolutely reach down to curl his fingers around the blond's cock. mostly to help him get a little more relief—but admittedly, part of him revels in the thought of having that much control in driving him to his release.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-10 02:41 am (UTC)And then he feels them both shift, is aware they're kissing above him, and gods why is that so arousing? Why are the hands at his side oddly familiar? His mind could work it out if it weren't so occupied.
He groans harder as he feels the heat of release filling him, chased by the heat of being so publicly used. It's enough that he's already so close. But he isn't expecting a hand to come curl around him, not still filled at both ends, and his sounds turn to a whimper, hips shifting to thrust against that blessed, teasing stimulation, hands scrabbling to hold onto anything.
It takes so little before he's spilling too, whining around Sylvain's cock, hot tears trailing down his face as he struggles to pull breath through his nose. He can't think, can hardly tell if he's still up right, and gods he doesn't actually want it to end. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-10 02:52 am (UTC)His fingers drop to wipe those tears away with a soft murmur, knowing it's likely more from overstimulation than anything negative. His touch turns soothing, even as he pulls out of Basch's mouth, pauses to tuck his cock away before his hands return to soothing over both their flushed skin, quietly checking in on both of them. ]
You did so good for me. Both of you. Beautiful. [ He knows Basch sometimes has difficulty with that word, but he speaks it all the same, because it's the truth.
Casting a playful wink at Olivine now as the priest catches his breath. ] Think you can stay upright while I get him free? Oh, and you can talk now. [ He leans in to emphasize that permission given with a kiss and a quiet chuckle before he bends to try and figure out how to get Basch out of this contraption.
And if the bird brains have a problem with that, they can come go through him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-10 04:21 am (UTC)And then, as Sylvain wipes away tears and tucks himself away, Olivine's hands turn similarly soothing, gently rubbing over his sides and spine as he eases out of the blond. Naturally he flushes gently at the praise, head ducking lightly and lips curling into a smile.]
Ah—mmn... [He's interrupted from tucking himself back in by the kiss, leaning in easily.]
I'll be fine. I was starting to think you were really trying to make me fail, though.
[His voice is soft and warm, the touch of strain in it plain enough. It's funny, really. He's ridden people before, but actually doing it like this? It feels so much more exhausting somehow.
Anyway, he'll step out of the way to let Sylvain work, peering over the pillory to see if he can find the way it's opened. If it came down to it, he's pretty sure he could just break it without hurting Basch, but...]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-11 02:09 am (UTC)Except -- he groans in protest as Sylvain pulls away, unable to hold the other there. They'd both finished; Sylvain had not. His tongue was thick and lazy though, stumbling in his mouth and licking over swollen lips, even as his addled gaze looked up to Sylvain, leaning into the tenderness of those tears being wiped away. Just checking on him, surely?
The cock leaves his ass, and there's more soothing touch, and some traitorous part of him wants to just succumb to the sweetness of this, but it's not fair. He hasn't -- he should reciprocate -- be properly used --
Olivine's voice cuts through any coherent thought. Embarrassment and warmth wash through him in equal but conflicting measures. The other understands these tastes, at least; there's no shame there. But -- he doesn't think that's the role Olivine prefers to be in.
But it's too much thinking for his tired brain, and the next thing he knows, they're both extracting him from the pillory. His limbs are gelatin, and much to his dismay, he trembles and slumps against the familiar warmths, body aching and still very much stark naked. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-11 02:53 am (UTC)[ His voice is quiet and soothing as he helps Basch straighten up and curls an arm around his waist to help support him against his side. The man staggers and he knows he must be disoriented after how intense that had been. After a moment of consideration, however, he scoops him up in his arms instead, rather than trying to make him walk anywhere. ]
You met and surpassed all my expectations beautifully, Olivine. I wasn't worried at all. [ He grins and leans over to kiss the priest briefly, even though he can feel the way Basch curls into him, the heat flushing his skin. Aftershocks of pleasure or embarrassment? Maybe a little of both? ]
Come on, let's go find one of those big loungers. I think you both could use a few moments of quiet to recover. And can you find me a towel, Oli?
[ He has no idea what they might have done with the swim trunks Basch had been wearing earlier. he may have to go beat up a bird for a replacement pair. Or maybe he just really wants an excuse to beat them up in general for doing this to Basch in the first place. As fun as it had been.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-11 03:18 am (UTC)And if I had failed? [he's maybe a little surprised by the kiss, given their situations, but leans in without hesitation. not that Olivine has ever actually failed when Sylvain hadn't been pushing him directly to do so, but he's gotten to the point where he can be a little cheeky anyway.] I'll go find one. They keep a lot of them around, I think.
[his attention turns to Basch fully then, a warm smile on his lips as he squeezes where his hand still holds. then he shifts to leave them for a moment and find a towel, not at all worried about finding them again once he does.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-12 02:22 am (UTC)He curls into the warmth, an arm weakly grasping around Sylvain's neck, oddly comforted by the mix of his hold and Olivine's lingering touch. It's surreal, and almost under water feeling, hearing the two of them tease and feeling them lean to kiss around him.
Olivine's hand falls aways, and Basch sees his familiar form disappearing on his task. He hadn't quite caught his breath enough to say something now, but he finds himself glad the other is coming back. ]
Thank you [ he murmurs, hoarse and dry-mouthed. It's too little, and clumsy, but he gives a weak squeeze, head lolling against Sylvain. Gods he feels like he's failing somehow, collapsing like this, not able to finish Sylvain, not able to properly thank or care for Olivine.
And ... the worst part is, some part of him just wants to sink into being taken care of. It's a craving he didn't even know he had, and now that it's open, it's a gaping maw of a want that he has no energy to resist. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-12 02:44 am (UTC)Trust me, sweetheart, it was my pleasure. Did you enjoy yourself? Hopefully it wasn't too much.
[ His focus hones in on the man in his arms, knowing how spent he must feel. That had been... a lot. For both Basch and Olivine, he suspected, even if it hadn't exactly been in the way he anticipated.
Finding one of the extra large lounger beds, he kneels on it long enough to lay Basch down on the soft cushion before stretching out beside him and already glancing back up the beach for Olivine, hoping he wouldn't have trouble finding them again. His hand immediately goes to soothe over Basch's skin, too, as if sensing that need for contact and comfort.
And he grabs a bottle of water chilling from nearby, cracking the cap off and bringing it to Basch's lips. ] Here. Drink.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-12 04:06 am (UTC)After all, it was abundantly clear that Basch had enjoyed himself. Olivine had too, even if he still feels like he didn't do enough... which makes him wonder if that's normal, if it's how either of them have been with him.
Inhaling a bracing breath and armed with a few towels (just in case), the priest pushes away his thoughts and makes his way over to the loungers. Neither man is particularly inconspicuous anyway, so it's not long before he's approaching them, smile drawing naturally over his lips. They're both so... confident and sure, he feels like. Comfortable with each other.]
I got a few extra, so we can get properly cleaned up.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-12 11:20 pm (UTC)There's a shift, and suddenly there's something soft beneath him. He almost protests being separated from Sylvain, but isn't quite bold enough. And besides, the other is back at his side near immediately, pressing cold water to his mouth.
It helps more than he expects. The beach is hot, and he'd been in the stocks for some time before that intense workout. ]
That's...better. Thank you. [ Less hoarse. ] But why didn't you... [ He doesn't get the rest of the question out, because Olivine has returned, and this, at least, is a loose end he can solve more easily.
Basch turns toward him, opening an arm as if he can summon him down; he doesn't have the energy to do more right now. ]
Olivine. You were incredible. Come lay with us.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-12 11:57 pm (UTC)[ He glances up at Olivine with a warm grin, shifting over to make more room automatically. Since he’d intended to draw the other man down with them, too, if Basch hadn’t beat him to the invitation.
He doesn’t miss that Basch hadn’t finished his question, but he lets it go for the moment, reaching out instead to take one of the towels, even as he passed over another of the water bottled to Olivine. He drapes it around Basch’s hips as he presses a kiss to the back of his shoulder, pressed up behind him now that he’d turned towards the priest instead. ]
Come get comfy, Olivine. I think we could all use a bit of a rest after that. [ And cuddles. Those are very important, too. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-13 12:22 am (UTC)[He isn't sure which response makes him feel the most shy, honestly. Probably Basch's, he supposes, given how clumsy he'd felt. To think he'd done well is...]
You have Sylvain to thank for that more than me though, I think...
[He's less putting himself down and now just bemused, taking the offered bottle of water and cracking it open to sip before shifting to join them. That feels—a little awkward somehow, soothed by the quiet sense of inclusion they both cultivate effortlessly. It helps quell the sense of yearning that Sylvain had incidentally built up when guiding him... a little, anyway.]
I would be lying if I said my legs weren't a little sore... it's nice to be off of them. [He exhales a hum as he settles in, setting the bottle down out of the way so his hand can slide over Basch's hips.] How are you feeling? Is anywhere particularly sore?
[He's not sure how long Basch was stuck there, okay.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-13 12:42 am (UTC)And it was new for you, wasn't it? [ He brushes Olivine's hair back, eyes soft, not pushing any farther than that, but...given what he knows of Olivine, he suspects. At the very least being guided to fuck another man, but, well, it would be rude to push him to disclose if he's feeling shy. He tilts his chin up, kissing the other gently.
And then chuckles, shifting comfortably between them both. ] I am old and dazed and all of me is sore, and I have no complaints for it.
[ Or for the way the two of them care for him, covering his nakedness and checking how he is. He wants them both to feel just as cherished. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-13 12:46 am (UTC)Wait, what?
no subject
Date: 2024-07-13 01:08 am (UTC)[his words are belayed temporarily by that gentle kiss, lashes fluttering and falling in the comfortable pleasure of it. the two of them are both just so... good to him. it's almost funny.]
I hadn't done that before, no. I just tried to think of what I would like in your place... it seems that worked out okay, hehe.
[and then Sylvain's head pops up from behind Basch's shoulder with abject surprise on his face, and Olivine's head tilts a little.]
... was... it not obvious? I'd really never thought about doing anything like it before.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-13 01:21 am (UTC)No, it was not obvious. You did an excellent job, and read me well. I only suspected from our other interactions. Thank you, for letting me have the role I suspect you would have preferred.
[ It was partly happenstance, yes, but Olivine could have declined. He suspects it being Basch on the bottom was a reason Olivine was even willing, and that makes him feel warm.
He wraps an arm around the other, encouraging him closer, even as his own head tilts back toward Sylvain. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-13 05:14 am (UTC)I'm just trying to figure out how Eiden and Rei - let alone anyone else in this place - haven't jumped on your cock yet. [ Especially with how quickly they'd jumped on his. ] Or how I haven't done so. Clearly something I'm going to have to rectify in the future.
...If you enjoyed it, anyway. I'm sorry, Olivine, I hadn't realized. You've been so comfortable with everything we'd done, I didn't realize this wasn't something you hadn't experienced before.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-13 05:35 am (UTC)[with both of them, really, but he feels the want to soothe any uncertainty for Basch as keenly as the other felt it for him. fingers squeeze warmly against his side, and he turns his attention to Sylvain.
that... is a slightly more awkward situation, and it shows in the way his brows furrow as he speaks again, but...]
Well... it isn't that no one has, technically, but I... couldn't really do anything at the time. And it... wasn't how I normally am, since that hunt thing did some strange things to me for a day or two. [he may as well have been bottoming, for all the control he had. honestly, both he and Baizhu are lucky the suit effects kept him from panicking too much. anyway!!! moving on, thank you—] Eiden's known my preference since we first met, and I think it was pretty obvious to Rei, too.
[only now does his hand move from Basch's side to find Sylvain's arm, holding lightly there.]
I... don't really know how I feel about it yet, but I'm not against trying again sometime. It just isn't something I think about, since my tastes run... ah... as you've seen.
["big titty masochist" and "being a top" have a remarkable margin between them on the venn diagram, even if it's not a complete miss.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-14 01:46 am (UTC)He's more surprised by Sylvain's missing this, and the exchange between the two. He's so used to both of them reading him so well; it did not occur to him that was not a universal trait. And his brow furrows at Olivine's edited tale. ]
This place made you... [ He holds the other tighter, pressing a light kiss to his forehead. ] I'm glad it was not a scarring experience. Your tastes are good as they are, but I'm open if you want to try something of your own accord. [ He reaches behind him, finding one of Sylvain's hands to squeeze, because it occurs to him the other would very much not have pushed if he'd realized. ] I firmly suspect we both are.
And I owe you both. [ More than ever. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-14 02:01 am (UTC)Hush, you. You don't owe us anything. But Basch is right. [ This, back to Olivine once more ashe leans in against Basch and lets his hand trace along Olivine's skin. Craving the touch of both of them, and wanting to make sure they're alright. ] You know I'm open to trying just about anything. I wondered why you seemed to be struggling a little more than usual. I guess that makes sense now. But you still did it beautifully. Just in case all those pretty little moans and pleas Basch gave weren't convincing enough.
[ Is he going to be teasing the both of them for this over the next few days? Absolutely. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-14 01:50 pm (UTC)[weird new circumstance for him or not. His hand drifts over darker skin and then finds its way to Sylvain's arm as it traces his own.]
It was... a little harder than I expected. Everything was so much more intense, and it didn't feel as easy to figure out how to move as it is with fingers. [His head ducks a little, fingers curling around Sylvain's arm as his cheek rests against Basch's chest.] Mm... now you're just making me think I should figure out how to make them even louder than you can get.
[that is a pretty sure sign that he's finally relaxing, the warm comfort of them both putting his insecurities to bed for the moment. Never mind that he does not think he'll ever get Basch going harder than Sylvain could.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-17 04:13 am (UTC)That is in part because you are particularly gifted with your fingers in the same way Sylvain is gifted at mischief.
[ But his own teasing slips from him, face reddening again as they both tease him and each other.
This is so...nice. Safe. ]
The two of you are going to break me, you know that? [ And he'd willingly let them. He had already. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-17 04:17 am (UTC)Although hey! [ he picks his head up to give them both a mock pout. ] I happen to be skilled with mischief and my fingers, thank you very much!
no subject
Date: 2024-07-17 05:26 am (UTC)[He can read that much in Basch's response anyway, cheeks about as red as the blond's. They're so easy to make blush...]
I don't know, I can't remember... you might have to prove it, Sylvain. [having both of them be so encouraging is definitely only helping him be a brat now, it seems. This is what Sylvain gets for not banging him stupid, or something.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-17 11:40 pm (UTC)He does, however, chuckle at both Olivine's tease and Sylvain's protest. ]
Sounds like you didn't sufficiently tire Olivine, Sylvain. You can probably reach, if you wish to rectify that.
[ He doesn't expect either to take him up on it; he's sure Olivine is as tired as he is. But the fact that the thought of being between them while Sylvain fingers the other sends a pang of want through him is certainly something he'll have to keep in mind. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-19 02:44 am (UTC)He reaches out to playfully tug at one of the chains dangling from the priest’s nipple piercing, however, knowing the skin will still be sensitive. Grinning, he continues to tease them both a little, even if the attention is turning to Olivine now instead. ]
I’m going to let you in on a very important secret, Basch. Olivine never gets tired out. It’s impressive, really. He makes my stamina look paltry in comparison.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-19 04:07 am (UTC)Mmnh... I definitely get tired out. I couldn't last more than the six last time... [he even pouts, which may have more to do with how red the claim makes him, weight shifting into the sensation.] And your stamina is just fine.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-19 04:30 am (UTC)But it does make him frown, hands stilling. Had they both cut themselves short because his stamina was tapped? ]
If you both aren't satisfied, you shouldn't let me keep you here. I don't mind.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-19 01:45 pm (UTC)Basch. Please. What ever gave you the impression either of us were unsatisfied? Or that we wanted to be anywhere else other than here at the moment? [ He bends his head, kissing along the back of Basch's shoulder, even as his gaze flicks to meet Olivine's over his shoulder, one eyebrow arched slightly. ] I, for one, am perfectly comfortable here. Although if you wanna hold Olivine still for me while I make sure he gets a little more worn out, I certainly wouldn't object to that, either.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-19 02:15 pm (UTC)In the wake of it, his fingers lace with the blond's, at least for the moment.]
He's right. Neither of us was thinking about going anywhere at all, Basch... and we aren't unsatisfied. Just because I have the stamina for it doesn't mean I need more, or I would have asked. I promised, didn't I?
[... but then Sylvain is suggesting Basch hold him in place and his body answers far more honestly than his mouth.]
... I don't need to be held down for that, you know? [His gaze is halfway on Sylvain, and his voice... oh, it's breathy and thick. Sure, he doesn't need it... but by the way his hips shift and press against Basch's thigh, he wants it. If not by that, then by the way his dick stiffens between them and he bites his lip.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-23 02:42 am (UTC)He's less ready for the kiss to his shoulder or hand lacing in his. Both make him feel awkward. Imposter. Like he hasn't earned this. But he does't want to hurt them, and really, they're right -- what reason does he have to think they are unhappy? Only memories, from the mouths of very different people.
Olivine reacts to Sylvain's tease, and Basch let's something out between a sigh and a chuckle. His free hand drifts to clasp the other's back side, encouraging the way he grins against Basch's thigh.
It is much easier to serve than to be served. ]
But you enjoy being held down a good deal more [ Basch teases. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-28 12:23 am (UTC)Ahh, he's on to you, Olivine. There'll be no wiggling out of this for you now. Literally or figuratively.
[ He lingers a moment to press one more kiss, lips curving into a fond smile before he shifts, tugging Basch onto his back and dragging Olivine with him, until the priest is sprawled between them, stretched out along the line of Basch's firm body while Sylvain props himself up over them both with a smirk and a knowing look in his eyes. ]
I'm sure we can think of a way to improvise something, either way. What do you think, Basch?
no subject
Date: 2024-07-28 12:58 am (UTC)That isn't what I was trying to do... I wouldn't want to escape either of you.
[there's more of a mumble to it, as his weight shifts over Basch to settle a little more between them. all at once he feels both perfectly comfortable and secure and like he's—somewhere he oughtn't be. he'll have to acknowledge that feeling at some point, but right now all he does is ignore it, focusing instead on what they're doing. he certainly has no intention of trying to stop them, much less the want.]
But I meant it... you don't need to worry about me...
[Olivine, you're literally trapped between them now, they're doing what they want. it's fine, idiot.]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-29 03:20 am (UTC)His hands settle around Olivine's ass, pulling him close, but also guiding his cheeks apart, enjoying the heat of his erection pressed between them. The familiarity of that is soothing in itself.
He meets Sylvain's smirking gaze and question with a nod and a quiet grin, cutting off Olivine's protests with a demanding kiss, aware, again, how public they are, and that it gives him a thrill to be seen with both of these men. ]
Worry isn't the word I think either of us would use.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-29 03:26 am (UTC)[ The fake complaint is groaned as he watches the two men kiss with a dark, appreciative gaze. His hands slide down Olivine’s bared back, tracing along his ribs. And then breaking into a bigger grin as he watches Basch spread Olivine open for him.
Hey, this is pretty convenient, they’ll have to try this again sometime.
But taking advantage of the position the pair are now - so prettily - in, he bends down between Olivine’s spread legs… and playfully slides his tongue over the priest’s slick entrance, teasing him open once more. He was still pretty loose from how Sylvain had been teasing him earlier, but Olivine always made such pretty noises, too, he couldn;t resist drawing some of them out first. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-29 03:52 am (UTC)[he's neatly cut off by Basch's mouth, lashes fluttering and hips squirming despite the fact they can barely move against his hands. it's... nice, being in this position. when the kiss breaks, he finds he's a little breathless, peering up into the blond's gaze. it... helps. unsurprisingly, he supposes.
his words are paused for the slide of hands down his back, concern flitting back and then melting instantly. it still feels too selfish—but he couldn't bring himself to make them stop anyway. even if he wanted to, and he absolutely does not.
of course, then Sylvain is bending down and he realises far too late what that means for his sense of reason.]
Ah- wait—!! haaugh...!
[he's been keyed up since Sylvain moved to spitroast Basch, and the touch of tongue against his slick entrance is enough to have him squirming almost uncontrollably—well. uncontrollably on his end. those hands are more than enough to keep him in place, and his only recourse is to bury his face in the other's shoulder as he's teased, fingers curling against the lounger they're settled in.]
Nngh... haah... that's not fair... using your tongue is... cheating...
no subject
Date: 2024-07-29 04:09 am (UTC)And it eases his discomfort some, because if that's the case, then he suspects Sylvain got a good deal more out of watching Olivine fuck Basch than he'd initially realized.
Even if he still wanted to make sure Sylvain came too.
But for now, he's pleasantly distracted by the way Olivine squirms and protests, glad he's been with the other enough times to know it's not a real ask for less. And he cranes his own neck a bit, fascinated by the sight of one of his lovers buried against another. ]
You were so good to me, and so good for Sylvain [ Basch coos soothingly, holding the other firmly in place, his own breath hitching at the rub of Olivine's cock and the sounds the other two are making. ] Why shouldn't we overwhelm you in return? [ That's what Olivine had said he liked, being forced to accept it. It may have been vines last time, but Basch's hold is just as effective. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-29 04:18 am (UTC)Though he does slide his hands up and over Basch’s, settling them there over his lover’s as he helps hold the priest in place. And sets to tormenting him with his clever tongue in earnest. Pressing inside with teasing jabs and slow licks, alternating the stimulation to keep Olivine guessing. ]
What he said. Either way, I think I’m okay cheating this once.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-29 04:42 am (UTC)[his hands feel so good, keeping him firmly in place for Sylvain and keeping him pressed so close to Basch besides. Sylvain pulls away enough to confirm it, and he can't help his little whine. it's not a sound of protest by any means, unable to keep up with the shifting pace enough to keep his thoughts in check. his hands shift, fingers curling around shoulders to give him a better grasp, moaning into the blond's skin.]
I... don't think you can... claim it's "this once..." ggh. You're so mean... to me... Sylvain... [he's actually pouting, for probably the first time Basch has ever seen that on him. his legs shift a little, unhelpfully for him other than to straddle a thigh a bit better, hole twitching against the teasing as hips jerk for what little stimulation he can get.] I'm too wet... for just this...
no subject
Date: 2024-07-30 12:58 am (UTC)Well, Sylvain? I'd enjoy watching you fuck him over me.
[ Which makes him utterly red to say, but his half-hardened cock says it's true. He doesn't think he'll get going all the way again, but he'll still enjoy the experience. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-30 01:03 am (UTC)Would you now? Well, then, I'd hate to disappoint. Either of you, in fact.
[ Pushing up on his knees, he pulls his still-hard cock back out of his swim trunks as he leans over the pair of them. Pressing Olivine down against Basch as he lets his own cock slide against the priest's very slick entrance.
Shifts, until he can start pressing inside of him with deliberate slowness. ]
Still think I'm mean, Oli?
no subject
Date: 2024-07-30 01:21 am (UTC)honestly, he just wishes the thin shirt he's wearing was out of the way, that he could feel Basch's skin better against his own. especially when Sylvain is pressing him down into the warm, firm line of him, a groan escaping as the redhead's cock teases his entrance.
and then it's sliding in, slowly. too slowly—]
Haaah... you're still... mean... mmnh. [he says it with his whole body welcoming that heat, hips unable to rise the slightest bit to make him go faster. fingers squeeze Basch's shoulders as his head tilts to glance back at the other man.] Still teasing me... you know I can... take it all already...

Date: 2024-07-30 03:44 am (UTC)So instead his gaze goes Olivine's to Sylvain's, grinning at the both of them. ]
I didn't realize Olivine was the larger brat of the two of you.
[ It's both teasing and affectionate, but he watches for their reactions, not as sure how much Olivine likes to be teased or called out. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-30 03:55 am (UTC)I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or if I should be offended right now. [ But he winks at Basch over Olivine’s shoulder to let him know he’s taking the teasing in good nature.
Of course, a moment later, he sets his teeth into the soft flesh at the curve of Olivine’s throat, biting down. ] I definitely think an argument can be made for Olivine’s bratty side. But honestly, I think he just does that when he’s craving to provoke someone into punishing him. Maybe I should be turning your ass red right now instead of fucking you, hmm?
no subject
Date: 2024-07-30 04:15 am (UTC)I'm not being—hey—
[excuse you, Sylvain, he was holding onto Basch!! it stretches him nicely over the other though, his head lifting a little as his gaze drifts between them. the pace is better, a little at a time...
his protests are further delayed as the redhead bites down on his neck, pulling a sharp cry out of him instead. this is not actually a fact about himself he knows, as Basch had suspected at another juncture—and now that it's been said he has to take a second to wonder if that actually is why.
he's definitely egged people on, but—]
I want to hold— [his fingers flex beside Basch's head, wrists shifting in Sylvain's grip. it's agony, being held back when he wants to touch—which makes it delicious, of course.] don't.... don't stop... I'll be too empty. I can't help... being greedy...
no subject
Date: 2024-07-31 10:02 pm (UTC)Both, I fear, Sylvain. Olivine -- I think Sylvain is on to you.
[ If he thought Olivine would prefer to hold him, he'd call Sylvain off, but he thinks this is right. And knows it will be that much sweeter when Olivine clutches him after.
His voice does get gentler though, a slight frown to it at Olivine's last comment. ]
This isn't greedy.
[ His eyes catch Sylvain's, a question to them. He senses there's something else going on here. But he's also distracted, eyes darkening as the reality of his lover fucking the very sweet man over him land with him, Olivine's cock grinding up against him. He groans in appreciation, his own hands itching to touch both of them for freely. ]
You have no idea how stunning you both look.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-01 03:32 am (UTC)[ Sylvain's voice is low and husky, smirk lingering in his tone as he fucks up into Olivine a little sharper. Changing his angle, making sure to rub over his prostate on the next few thrusts in and out. And still he keeps Olivine's wrists pinned to either side of Basch's head. Fucking the priest against his lover, into his lover.
He gives Basch a quick wink, playful and reassuring, even as his teeth bite down against the curve of Olivine's shoulder once more. ]
It's a little greedy. But only in the best way. I think we can all be a little greedy today, don't you?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-01 09:55 am (UTC)[he's not experienced voyeurism per se, but hearing them talk about it now certainly turns his skin red, a shiver running down his spine even without the way Sylvain's angle shifts to abuse his prostate and fuck him into basch all the more. teeth bite down again and he cries out again, brows furrowing as the pleasure of it overtakes everything else.]
I don't mind... being a little greedy. I always want... more... from you both. [a shaky laugh escapes him, lashes fluttering. it's clear he doesn't mind feeling that way.] It really is... a good feeling... mmngh.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-02 12:12 am (UTC)So he's not expecting how deeply its affecting him, having Sylvain's find him like that while he fucks another man, or how much he likes having Olivine's weight ground into him, not the one who is eliciting those cries but still enjoying them all the same.
It's a good thing he's pinned and relaxed, though, because both their call out to be greedy today, that they both want both him and the other, hits that same tender spot he's not sure what to make of. Even if he can understand wanting both of them.
So instead, he digs his fingers deeper into Olivine's ass, mouth finding the other's jaw, working a reddening mark there as he rocks his thigh between Olivine's, at least as much as he can as Sylvain bares down on both of them. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-02 03:37 am (UTC)But he can feel the way Olivine's body shudders around him that it won't take much to push him too far. Which is what has him shifting his angle, purposefully brushing over his prostate again as he rocks into him. His own breathing coming more ragged now at the stimulation, the tight, slick clench of Olivine's body around his cock. ]
Think you can come like this for me, Oli? Caught between us like this. Kiss him, Basch? You have better reach than I do right now.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-02 02:41 pm (UTC)Nnghaah—!!
[Sylvain's teeth retreat and Basch's mouth finds his jaw, seamlessly dragging him from one sensation to the next. Eyes fall closed and he whines as that thigh presses between his, cock caught pleasantly against its heat. He didn't come that long ago, but between every stimulation and the sound of Sylvain's ragged breaths, he's already so close again.]
Nngh... of course I... haah... so close... hurts so good... ♡
[His head tips up in obedient offering, lashes fluttering back open and pupils blown wide as he struggles to keep some semblance of focus.]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 03:20 am (UTC)He doesn't know. But kissing Olivine feels good and warm, and holding him steady as he gives them both what they want is arousing, and something else. He likes taking care of both these men. Doing it at the same time is lovely. Lovely enough that he moans into Olivine, even as he drives his tongue against the other, one of his legs shifting so he can wrap it around Sylvain's, wanting to touch them both, wanting to feel anchored.
Pinned by their weight and focused on his task, he relaxes again. His mind settles, and he just enjoys the familiar timbre of both their breathing and moans getting close to tipping, enjoys the pressure and weight driving into him, enjoys the knowledge that this is ... oddly public still.
He likes this. He likes them. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 03:27 am (UTC)His breathing ragged in the priest’s ear, his teeth tug at the soft curve of his lobe as his pace turns more determined, aiming at pushing Olivine over the edge now, overwhelming his senses with pleasure. Because he can feel himself growing closer, too. ]
Come for me, Olivine. [ His voice is a low, husky rasp in the man’s ear as his pace speeds, stutters, and then slams deep as his cock pulses hotly and then spills into Olivine after several more sharp, pointed thrusts, unable to hold it back anymore. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 11:07 am (UTC)he feels dizzy and light, breaths too thin for pure comfort. it makes them short and just this side of wheezy as their tongues mingle, brows furrowing with the last dregs of his concentration being fucked out of him.
the sound he makes when Sylvain's pace stutters and slams deep into him, filling him with familiar, addicting heat, is muffled against the blond, his back arching sharply. there's no way to respond under his circumstances, but he can't hold back any longer either. the heat, the weight of them both trapping him in, the sheer greed and want displayed in such an open place... his body squeezes down tight as heat spills over Basch's thigh, muscles rigid and trembling before he collapses between them, tongue and lips slowing, but not quite stopping. ah... that feels so good.]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:29 pm (UTC)His own moan erupts, feel both of them crest at nearly the same time. If he weren't spent, he likely would have too. It's easy to keep kissing Olivine, one hand stroking up his back as the other gropes for Sylvain behind him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:56 pm (UTC)[ he murmurs the word against Olivine's shoulder, but it's directed at both of them as he smiles down at them fondly. Eyes warm and soft as he pulls out of the priest and flops down beside Basch again, his arm around them both as he buries his face in Basch's shoulder with a laughing groan. ]
Please tell me we don't have to move for a little bit yet.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-04 04:23 pm (UTC)Mmm, we shouldn't need to. Though we should clean up...
[because he certainly made a mess of himself and Basch, at the very least.]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 01:03 am (UTC)He does laugh softly at Sylvain's dramatic pronouncement and Olivine's practicality, holding the other so he won't push away just yet. ]
There's no hurry. And I've no interest in moving in earnest until we are free to return to our rooms or the baths.
[ Which, feels presumptuous to suggest they stay with him, but the invitation is certainly an earnest one. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 02:25 am (UTC)[ His grin is still audible in his voice as he nuzzles in against Basch's shoulder, his arm tightening around them both, as if that will be enough in itself to keep them here with him as long as possible. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 03:47 am (UTC)[a little huff of laughter escapes him, and Olivine lets himself nestle in between the two, his shorter height facilitating it surprisingly well. or maybe that's just the way they all fit together. anyway, whatever it is, he's just... so glad to be here, even in just this moment.
he can deal with the lingering uncertainties later. probably when he's alone.]
Beach Prompt: ParaSol Possession CW: dark themes, dubcon, d/s, sex prisoner, general nsfw
Date: 2024-06-16 01:22 am (UTC)He's not aware of someone settling down in the chair beside him, or the eyes that watch him for a while with a possessive light in them, until they, too, slide shut and his unseen companion slips into shared sleep.
All he knows is his hazy dreams start to shift. Change. Take a shape of their own and some part of him should find that strange, but he doesn't. It feels like this is supposed to happen, that this is perfectly normal. Even when the world shifts from a fabricated beach into a different scene entirely. Although he can still hear the ocean waves from here. Blinks hazy eyes open to see it, out a large window although it looks... different.
He stares at it, though, mind empty and drifting, even though he should be confused. Some part of him is, but another part of him just accepts that this is reality. Just like he doesn't question the hands on his skin, unfamiliar and harsh as he's stripped of his clothing and pushed to his knees on the rough tiled floor. The clothing he's left with is scant and sheer - barely considered clothing, really, and leaving very almost nothing to the imagination.
His arms are bound behind his back and his legs are spread and also bound in place, leaving him uncomfortably stretched open and exposed. Teetering slightly. Although it doesn't occur to him to resist, to struggle, to pull away. Some part of his mind is shifting with the scenery, the scenario being set up around him. He belongs here now. On his knees. At someone else's whim. His freedom is a thing long gone.
And as if to emphasize that, a thick collar is fitted about his throat and fastened in place, tight and snug, something he feels with every swallow, with every breath. Breaths which come faster now, a hint of panic creeping up over him as his head spins. Confusion and trepidation. Unease... for what he doesn't know, but he can feel whatever - whoever? - it is growing closer. His time is up. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-16 07:13 pm (UTC)But when he spots the man -- his lover -- napping peacefully in the shade, he can't help the swell of pride and affection. Or the jealousy, louder than it's ever been, that others on this beach have a claim to Sylvain, that they may be the one he wakes up to and goes home with. Not today. Maybe not ever. Maybe he shouldn't share anymore.
He settles beside him in the shade, watching, daydreaming, until sleep take him too.
He doesn't remember the transition to this place, or the beach he's left behind, nor is his mind hazy. He'd come here for a reason, this port that deals in men and secrets and darkness. A rumor had brought him, a series of gambles and payments well-played and carefully executed building up to this.
Sylvain was his. Legally, indefinitely. Soon to be bodily as well. He forces himself to make rounds while he waits for the preparations, having a celebratory drink at the tavern, where men congratulate him on his purchase, and sailors whisper about the why of it. It isn't Basch's typical style, though they know he spent some time in bondage in his younger years. A fantasy? And attraction? An old grudge?
All of them.
He sees to the innkeeper then, and his men. He is not to be disturbed until the following evening, and he keeps only his best servants on for needs like food and errands. And sends one out to make purchases. Outfits, to dress the new pet in. It will take time to break him in, and he will not leave Basch's side until he is good and trained.
With enough time passed, he finally ascends to the airy third floor residence. His own clothing has been selected for power, contrast: ceremonial regalia, a flaring cloak, belts and jewelry, and of course loudly clicking heels. His chest, though, is bare near to the navel.
He's sure Sylvain hears him before he arrives. Still, he takes his time opening the door, letting his eyes sweep over his prize as he enters.
The drug is unfortunate, but necessary. It eased his own time, so there is some little kindness in it. But he also doesn't want his toy broken today, not that way anyway. Otherwise, the man is beautiful, stubborn and defiant even like this. What little clothing he wears is more scandalous than if he'd been naked. ]
I see you've settled in nicely already.
[ He closes the door behind him, making it clear he is locking the heavy wooden door. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-16 09:34 pm (UTC)He hears the click of heels and something in him tenses, not even the heavy weight of his hazy thoughts able to completely banish the sense of trepidation that builds, simmers.
He remains on his knees, even though they’re starting to ache. HIs head turns slightly, dark amber eyes flicking to the figure that slips into the room. Closes the door behind him. Locks it.
Nervous, he licks his lips as he studies the stranger, not knowing who he is, or why he seemed to go to all this trouble to ‘acquire’ Sylvain in the first place.
He doesn’t offer any sort of answer. That hadn’t exactly been a question, after all. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 07:02 pm (UTC)You don't even know how good of an afternoon you're going to have, hmm?
[ He closes the space between them then, roughly taking Sylvain's chin so he has to look at Basch. ]
The stubborn ones always crave submission.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-17 07:15 pm (UTC)He wouldn’t have thought to call himself stubborn, although others certainly would at times. He doesn’t even realize that’s missing at the moment. While he might normally be difficult and pull away - or, perhaps, play coy while looking for an advantage here - those options don’t even occur to him.
Instead, his breath hitches, eyes darkening a shade at the rough grip on his chin. He doesn’t even try to pull away, but there’s a telltale shiver that slips down his spine as his dark eyes remain locked on the broad man towering over him.
Does he crave submission? He’d never thought about it before. Isn’t really thinking about it now, either, but that’s more because thinking feels like it requires too much energy. Too distracting, when all of his attention is currently being swallowed by the man holding him in place with a single hand. He swallows thickly, feeling the grip of the collar even more pronounced with his head tipped back like this. ]
I… I don't understand…
no subject
Date: 2024-06-18 12:43 am (UTC)I bought you, pet. You are mine legally. Soon your body will be too, and I'll wager desire will follow.
It will be a respite, I think, from all the running and decision making. All you have to worry about now is pleasing me and staying beautiful.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-18 09:08 pm (UTC)Or perhaps it's just that the secondary effects are only just starting to affect him. Stirring sluggishly in his blood. Pushing that thick haze away to be replaced with a slowly simmering heat, one that will only burn higher and hotter over the next few hours. But right now? It's still only a flicker, one easily mistaken as unease. Trepidation.
Although the telltale flush that steals over his skin at the man's words tells a different story.
He swallows thickly when the man's gaze falls to his throat, to the collar he can feel like a tight grip around him. A physical manifestation of that same possession of which he speaks.
he shakes his head, as much in disbelief as denial. ] No. I'm not... You can't...!
no subject
Date: 2024-06-19 12:09 am (UTC)You already are. I can show you the contract, if you like. But I won't enter you until you've asked for it.
[ Which he will. Will beg for it. ]
Tell me, pet, do you have any fantasies I can fulfill for you? Foods, clothes, travel? My cock in your throat? I take good care of what is mine.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-19 03:49 am (UTC)I won't! [ Oh. There's the stubbornness. ] I'm no one's pet. Especially not yours.
[ Whoever you are. Because he still has no idea. Or why you wanted him in the first place.
And it's not like he's a stranger to the pleasures of the body - far from it. But all the talk of being reduced to a possession... Despite the squirming feeling in his stomach at the very idea, which he doesn't want to think about right now, it still makes him mad. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-20 01:46 am (UTC)Ah, there's the infamous Gautier heir.
[ He lets it dangle between them, the knowledge that he knows who Sylvain really was. ]
You already threw away your power, kitten. You chose this path.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-20 02:06 am (UTC)Although something in that last statement clearly rubs him the wrong way as he gives a derisive snort, lips curling in a hint of a sneer. A flare of furious anger in amber eyes. ]
Chose? I've chosen nothing. [ It's clear that's a sore spot. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-21 01:06 am (UTC)Basch doesn't let his chin go, not with how beautiful that defiance is. ]
Is that your desire? Choice? I can certainly give you that.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-22 08:59 pm (UTC)But his sneer doesn't fade, in fact, that offer just gets another derisive scoff in disbelief. ]
You'll forgive me for not believing a word out of your mouth, since you just got done informing me I was your possession.
[ The word is spit out like a curse, his face flushed. He thinks it's anger, but there's something more in the heat that's starting to dance along his skin. Making sweat bead at his temples, the back of his neck. Basch might notice the way his eyes are starting to darken, dilate, his breathing coming a little more roughly. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-23 02:54 am (UTC)I'm quite patient.
[ he doesn't miss the changing demeanor of his toy. Patience is all he needs. ]
And if I were interested in idiots, I'd have bought a common whore. That mind of yours is half the prize.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-23 05:54 am (UTC)Well, then you're a fool as well. You've wasted your precious money, if that's what you're looking for.
[ Everyone knows he's not great intellect. That takes ambition. And someone who gives a damn. Neither of which he'd ever made any claim to. In fact, he's far closer to a common whore than that, so the man is doubly the fool. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 02:37 am (UTC)You misunderstand me.
[ He offers no explanation. Intellect and intelligence were not the same, and he knew exactly what he was after.
He tilts the other's head back and forth like he's examining a vase, but really he wants to see what the other will do. ]
If I made a deal with you now, one night with me for your freedom, would you take it?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 02:54 am (UTC)[ In fact, he scoffs at the offer, still glaring up at the man, trying to resist the way he twists and turns his face to drink in the sight of him. He knows he's pretty to look at. That's never been more of a hindrance than right now. ]
Anyone who's just bragged about possessing someone - to that someone - isn't going to risk losing what they paid for. [ The word is spit out, because he still can't believe he's ended up here, like this. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 03:14 am (UTC)You misunderstand my relationships to money and possessions as well.
[ He thinks the man is more upset at being caught than he is at Basch. Reasonable. So is not trusting his captor. Basch may actually have been brazen enough to let the other go if he'd earnestly taken the deal. But really, he wanted to keep this one a good long while, have him so trained that he wouldn't run even when the leash was gone. ]
Come now, what else would you like to tell me about myself?
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 03:55 am (UTC)And he's upset about all of it right now. He can't even pick what's at the top of the list. He hates all of this. And he hadn't noticed yet that he's started to shift a little. Uncomfortable, he thinks. The man's hand on his jaw making his skin itch and he thinks it's just because he wants it gone. It's the most obvious answer. To him, anyway. ]
You're an asshole.
[ At least that part was obvious. Or so he believes in the moment, anyway. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 04:25 am (UTC)Your intensity is beautiful. Well then. Should I go get someone else, make you watch us instead?
[ He pulls his hand away, turning toward the door like he really might. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-25 04:30 am (UTC)Which is ridiculous. He's clearly going crazy. ]
I don't want to watch. but you're just going to do whatever you want anyway.
no subject
Date: 2024-06-27 03:02 am (UTC)I haven't quite decided what I want. Care to give me some ideas? I'd happily give you what you like.
[ He crosses back to the table, pouring himself a glass of wine. Just regular wine, but still a way to loosen things up. He swirls it, admiring it in the light before taking a sip, waiting to see if the other answers. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-06-28 10:42 pm (UTC)[ He's still glaring, trapped as he is on his knees on the floor, arms bound and keeping him caught right where he is. ]
Because all I want is to walk out of here and pretend this day never even happened.
[ And he already suspects they've barely scratched the surface on how bad this day can still get - and likely will.
Even if that thought is sending yet another flush of heat through him, for reasons he doesn't want to think about. Visible, as it lightly stains his cheeks, his neck. Makes him shift slightly on his knees, uncomfortable and restless. A feeling that only grows as the man walks away.
And if his scowling amber gaze stay latched onto the sight of those lips parting at the edge of his wine glass, to drink, he's quick to jerk his eyes away the moment he realizes he's staring. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-01 03:40 am (UTC)The glance at Basch's lips. ]
We could arrange that. I can ply you with wine, and take you for a walk.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-05 05:19 pm (UTC)It'd be really hard to pretend today didn't happen if you're still here.
[ he's not even touching on the indignity of being leashed and paraded through the town like some prized pet. The very idea fills him with rage. And a strange rush of shame-filled desire. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-08 11:14 pm (UTC)Instead, he takes a slow sip of his wine, cocking his head to consider his prize, then another before setting it down.
This time he comes behind the man, hands settling over his shoulders, thumbs knowingly settling into circles where muscles are like to be tense.
And this close, if Sylvain wriggles back against him, there's no doubt he'll feel Basch's hardened length. That's the other's choice, though; Basch was honest that he won't offer that sort of touch without an invitation.
Still, he can't resist baiting the other. ]
So tense. Wouldn't it be easier, to not fight so hard at every turn?
no subject
Date: 2024-07-09 12:23 am (UTC)And when those hands settle over his shoulders, he visibly jolts, even as a strange shudder sweeps through him at the contact, skin flushing with the sudden craving to press back into it. He wavers, almost giving in, before his spine jerks ramrod straight once more. ]
If you wanted someone cooperative, maybe you should have found someone you didn’t have to buy.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-09 01:51 am (UTC)I got exactly what I wanted. [ There's a purr to his voice, still even and unruffled. ] You are perfect.
no subject
Date: 2024-07-09 04:58 am (UTC)Oh, I assure you, I'm not. And you're not getting anything.
[ Even if the skin beneath those fingers is twitching slightly as he struggles with his own strange urge to press back against it. It has his voice coming out even more strained now. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-10 12:31 am (UTC)And I assure you, I am already getting plenty.
[ Not a lie, but also certain to gain more of that ire.
Which will make it all the sweeter when he bends. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-10 06:17 pm (UTC)But also over the fact that his skin is itching, burning, and the more those fingers skim, the more he craves it. He can feel a tremble starting in his muscles as he resists the urge to press back into the touch. He can't quite hide the faint squirm, though - at least as much of one as his bindings allow.
And that sound of frustration he'd made? Very nearly melts into a moan before he bites it off before it can slide there. Not wanting to give the man behind him the satisfaction. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-11 02:11 am (UTC)As his hands get lower, he splays them around Sylvain's middle so his fingers can dig into the muscles of the lower back. And when he moves back to shoulders, he steps closer, letting his own attraction brush against the other, teasing more than insistent. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-12 01:22 am (UTC)Not that Basch is really waiting for that anyway.
And then those hands move lower down his back, digging into tense muscles and his body jolts at the sensation, a strangled sound that's almost a moan escaping him before he can stifle it. Although he flushes deeply a second later, in mortification and anger (and definitely not in growing arousal) that the man had won even that much from him.
And that's when he feels the press of an erection against the back of his shoulder and he chokes on his next inhale, eyes going wide in alarm because oh fuck, what the fuck is he supposed to do now?
....Besides what his body very much wants to do. Yea, he's getting those images loud and clear. No, that's not at all an acceptable option here. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-12 02:10 am (UTC)And. No pulling away. No hissing at Basch's arousal.
He doesn't make a point of it, instead letting is hands wander up to massage into scalp. ]
Is it so bad, to be kept and pampered?
no subject
Date: 2024-07-15 11:12 pm (UTC)There's almost a whimper slipping free before he stops it, at the feel of those fingers in his hair, massaging against his scalp. The larger struggle is resisting the urge to melt into a puddle right then and there. Body craving that touch so strongly he trembles with it, mouth going dry, mind going empty of everything except want.
His breath hitches, fingers curling into fists where they're bound behind him, as if trying to distract himself from how good that feels. It's not working.
He almost completely misses the question, too, and then struggles to come up with an answer that's not utterly mortifying. ]
Y-yes! [ That comes out far more strained and breathless than he intended, but he's too distracted now to do anything about it, trying to keep a grasp on his focus when it's unravelling with each brush of Basch's fingers. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-07-31 09:53 pm (UTC)But he gave his word, and the game is to not give more until he's asked.
The hand in his prisoner's hair seems the right move though. ]
If you're good, I won't have to keep you bound. You could sit in my lap while I pamper you.
[ It's a teasing murmur, as much to test the other as to give any real offer. But his hands stay steady against Sylvain's scalp, his erection still a solid reminder against the other's shoulder. ]
But if you like this, by all means, you are particularly beautiful immobilized and wanting.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-01 02:53 am (UTC)Instead, there's only the demanding pulse of need that gets stronger with every pound of his heart.
That flush spreading visibly along his skin, the way his cock has hardened with more than just faint interest now. The shiver of goosebumps on his skin. And the shallow way his body leans back into that touch - the fingers in his hair, the press of the man's arousal against the back of his shoulder. Even without his permission, his body is pushing for more than just that faint contact. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-01 03:13 am (UTC)That's it. Why spend all that energy resisting what you want? I'm here to take care of you, pet.
Say the word and its yours.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-01 04:06 am (UTC)[ As far as denials go, that one is not convincing in the least.
Especially when his body is already arching into that touch, chasing it as fingers skim over his flushed skin. Making him burn with the need for more.
He doesn't even realize his head has tipped, baring his throat to the man in a silent gesture of submission. His mind hasn't quite caught up with that - at all. Not when it's drowning in a dizzying haze of heat and want. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-01 11:48 pm (UTC)The bared throat is response enough. He tips his head forward, tongue roving over the hot flesh there before he bites down, running his tongue over the shallow impressions of his teeth.
He lowers to one knee, the other pressing between Sylvain's spread legs, hands roving lower. All of his touch is light though, easy enough to throw off or lean out of.
He doesn't expect the other to, though. He has him, he knows. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-02 12:59 am (UTC)Basch isn't wrong - it doesn't even occur to him to flinch away right now. Not when his body is yearning, craving, so strongly that he can think of nothing else. If anything, he leans into those touches with a strained whimper, body chasing the slide of those hands as they move lower, cock fully hard now as his body strains for more of that touch. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-02 01:22 am (UTC)This was his. He knew that deeply, in a way that transcended this interaction. And he wanted to hear Sylvain affirm it, beg for it, revel in it.
He slides pumps his thigh slowly, teasing the other, teasing himself. ]
I could bend you over here [ he murmurs between working on that mark. ] Leave you tied and take you like some exotic, beautiful beast. Is that more appealing than being pampered in my lap, pet?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-02 03:43 am (UTC)Except that heat within him is no longer just a simmer, it's a raging inferno. And the last thing he wants is for the man to fuck off. He wants him to fuck him because that thigh sliding between his own only emphasize how badly his cock aches, how empty he feels, how much he wants to be filled.
It has the last of his will, his resistance, crumbling away at last as he rocks back against that thigh, trying to chase the friction of it, even if it isn't anywhere near enough. The hands on his flesh tease sensitive skin and he's caught between the two stimulations, body torn in which direction it wanted to chase more. ]
Please...
[ The word slips free without him even realizing he's said it, voice a strained whimper as he gasps for air, shudders with the need for more. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 03:41 am (UTC)[ he purrs it, nose tracing agains the sensitive bruise he's started, and he lets his hand dip lower again, barely skimming the underside of Sylvain's cock. He'll hold it while he fucks him, he thinks. Overload him. Break him with pleasure.
The leash he's tethering won't be one of rope or leather. ]
Everyone tells me I can have anyone I want. I want you, pet. So -- is it true?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 03:47 am (UTC)And knows just how to play him.
That question only partially registers, his mind completely fogged over with a haze of need so potent it has him panting for the other man he’d been so stubborn about resisting earlier. All of that stubbornness is forgotten now. ]
I want… I want… yes. Yes, please…!
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 04:06 am (UTC)Much as he wants to fill the other, he wants to tease him even more, see just how much he can make him ache. This is his pet. They're in now rush.
His hand trails back, stroking down Sylvain's length as his other hand starts to undo his pants, pulling himself out into the warm air. But instead of going for lubricant, he lines himself so he can slide below Sylvain's ass, his head teasing the backside of Sylvain's sack as he slots behind him, slow and languid. Arranged, his free hand goes back to the other's pec, his lips back to his neck, humming lowly as he just indulges in touch. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 04:12 am (UTC)He begs. He’s not even aware of half the words that slip from his lips - they might not even be all that coherent, broken and disjointed as his thoughts are, but he cries out, whimpers and pleas slipping free with abandon as he tries to chase those touches, the mouth on his flesh. Multiple little points of contact that send his overheated and oversensitive body higher and higher into desperate need. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 06:11 pm (UTC)I'm going to take such good care of you, tonight and every night you can handle me.
[ Still teasing his own length on the underside of Sylvain's squirming heat, he leans languidly to one side to untether a hand, then the other. His ankles are still bound, but there's a little more choice now -- all fours, or to cling behind him to Basch.
And with that done, he adjusts his angle pressing his head to Sylvain's entrance. Not hard -- he hasn't lubricated them. But he thinks he can wring a little more out of the other first. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:00 pm (UTC)And those whines take on a much needier timbre when he feels the press of that cock at his entrance. His mind and body isn't thinking about preparation, only how empty he is, how he aches, how he needs.
It has him struggling to push back and take the man's cock even if his body strains with the attempt. Forehead pressed to the floor, fingers curling into fists as he cries out and moans. ]
Please, please, I need you to fuck me, please.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:24 pm (UTC)It's perfect, the way his pet keens and whimpers, tries to take him even like this. A small part of him is tempted, just to see how far the other will go, but no. That is not how he leashes him. And he doesn't want him broken. Not today, anyway.
And then that plea. His lips curl into a smile, laying his cheek flat on hot skin and curling his hand so the other can rut into him with all that need. ]
See, sweet? Asking wasn't so hard was it?
[ He'll tease him a little longer before extricating himself, crossing in front of Sylvain's vision to remove his boots and pants -- in no real rush -- and drape them over a chair, then his shirt, then to dig in a cabinet for lubricant, all the while listening and watching from the corner of his eye how desperately the other wants him. He makes sure the other can see as he covers his own aching cock in slick liquid, teasing the head just for show. ]
Mmm so patient [ He says as he settles back down behind him, lining himself up again. The other's skin feels incredible with nothing between them. This time, he presses a little more firmly, sliding against the other's unstretched entrance. The slowness is pleasing, and he wants the other to feel this tomorrow. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:33 pm (UTC)It shows, in the way he stays on all fours when Basch pulls away. Panting softly for air. His hungry gaze following Basch's every move with unconcealed impatience. And the way his gaze turns even more desperate when Basch slicks his own cock, teases him in front of him. he might even lick his lips as he shifts slightly, but still doesn't move from how Basch has positioned him - not that he could go to him easily, with his ankles still bound. He'd be forced to crawl.
Which he would do, if Basch didn't hurry up and bring his cock back over here.
Luckily, the man does, settling behind him once more and Sylvain gives a whimper as he feels that slick heat slide against his hole. He squirms a little, but that's interrupted by Basch finally pushing into him a little, stretching his hole around the thick head of his cock.
It has Sylvain collapsing forward again with a strained, desperate cry at the stretch, body struggling to adjust, clenching down tight around the intrusion. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:39 pm (UTC)[ He holds the other's hips, keeping him stable, but not letting him rock too fast, not with how wonderfully he cries and clenches. ]
We'd better go nice and slow, hmm?
[ Which he's sure is not what the other wants right now. He bends down, working a bite at the other shoulder, rocking himself just enough to sink a little farther into that tight heat. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:59 pm (UTC)But Basch distracts him nicely with his teeth sinking into the soft flesh of his other shoulder, leaving yet another mark in his skin, visible of the man's ownership.
He'll feel the way Sylvain's body reacts to that, clenching down around the deeper press of that cock, shuddering. He tries to squirm back despite those hands on his hips, struggling to take more, to take Basch deeper still. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 08:24 pm (UTC)[ But the sounds he makes go straight to Basch's cock, and he keeps easing himself in, slow, plenty of time for adjustment. It takes some strength to keep Sylvain from rocking back too eagerly, and that is just as alluring. This man is strong and capable, and he bends so beautifully for Basch. Shudders for him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 09:02 pm (UTC)Basch is determined to take his time and Sylvain can't seem to persuade him otherwise, though he tries. But every inch the other man presses into him has him moaning and begging and whimpering as Basch stretches him open on the thickness of his cock. it burns, and he is definitely going to feel this tomorrow, because Basch isn't exactly small but Sylvain doesn't care. He wants it, all of it, every devastating inch.
His own cock hangs untouched between his legs, still so achingly hard and leaking on the floor beneath him, arousal not flagging in the least despite the strain of the man fucking into him from behind. That line between pain and pleasure is thoroughly blurred right now, both of them just as intense as the other. And he needs more. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-04 01:27 am (UTC)He goes slow, murmuring teases between biting kisses, hands alternating between holding still and teasing Sylvain's flush form, until finally, he's nestled all the way in the other. He lets out a contented sigh, folding over him to rake his hands down the length of Sylvain's torso, kissing against his shoulders. ]
You feel so good, pet. Tight and hot and yielding. And so patient. Do you think it's time for your reward? I promised I would give you what you asked.
[ He knows the other can feel the way that tease makes his own cock throb inside him. He's going to enjoy this. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-04 04:51 am (UTC)It's not enough and he feels like he's going mad with it.
Even as he feels more full than he ever has before. Body clenching and trembling with the feel of it. Basch is pressed so deep, filling him up, and he wants to move, wants to fuck himself on the other man's cock. Wants to feel every inch currently stretching him open in a way that has him burning even hotter. ]
Please, please, I'll be good, I promise.
[ he'd promise Basch anything he wanted right now to get what he wanted. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-04 08:27 pm (UTC)He starts to thrust, still slow, drawing almost all the way out before working back in. Sylvain is so tight, and he doesn't doubt there's still residual burn. ]
I'm going to fill you. You'll be marked by me, smell of me, and be full of me. It doesn't matter that I bought you. This is what makes you mine. That you're taking me so beautifully.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 01:46 am (UTC)His fingers scrabble for purchase against the floor, eyes slamming shut as he focuses on the intensity of those sensation, pressing back as much as he's able. But with his ankles still bound and Basch buried so deeply inside of him, there's only so much movement he even has available to him right now.
That only seem to make everything more intense, however. That vulnerability that had been so terrifying at the start of this, the helplessness he'd been caught in. it only made him burn even hotter with need now as Basch claimed him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 03:19 am (UTC)He slowly works up his speed, equally to tease as to keep the other safe. Slowly he loosens, driving Basch mad as he does. He keeps a stream of gentle praise, but it tips to groans, his own need growing to a needy burn. ]
Come for me, pet [ he growls, hands steady on the other’s hips, and now he fucks, hard and fast, not holding back his strength, groaning at the bite of the floor on his knees, which sylvain is undoubtedly feeling worse. It’s a wonderful ache, and every sound the other gives has Basch shuddering and groaning in want. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 03:34 am (UTC)But the moaned words strike a chord, even as the man’s pace changes, speeds, cock fucking into him hard and fast and demanding now. The angle is perfect, sending that thick length rubbing deliberately over his over-sensitized prostate with every movement, in and out and again.
Even without the permission, it wouldn’t have taken long, once his pace increased. That rocking rhythm has him all but delirious as Basch pushes him hard and fast. His body tensing, clenching tighter and tighter as it builds, before it crests and he nearly screams in his relief as pleasure washes over him. His cock pulses hotly between his legs, untouched for the moment, before jerking and then spilling messily on the tile floor as he shudders tight around the man’s cock, milking him hungrily. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:40 am (UTC)And then he slumps over the other, not quite letting his body go boneless, draping him with his weight and pressing kisses to any skin he can reach, fingers trailing on his sides as he chases the sensitivity still there. ]
You are magnificent, pet. And you relaxed so beautifully for me. It feels good, doesn't it, to give in?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:47 am (UTC)Even if it did feel good to give in. At least in this moment. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:53 am (UTC)Shall I clean you up, or just put you to bed?
[ He only half expects an answer, weighing his own options. More touch and pampering would be fun, but how much will the other hate him if anyone else sees him like this?
How much does he want anyone else to see him like this? The baths aren't a far walk down the hall, and yet...
He could always get a warm basin of water instead. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:57 am (UTC)It doesn’t really occur to him to complain, though, not when exhaustion is already starting to weigh him down. Maybe another one of the effects of whatever he’d been given, now that his body had been sated. For the time being, anyway. ]
Don’t wanna move…
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 06:10 pm (UTC)Come here then [ he beckons, patting his lap. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 03:14 am (UTC)Which is the biggest reason why, after only the briefest moments of hesitation, he curls up against Basch's thigh with a quiet sound of contentment, wanting nothing more than to just sink the rest of the way into that sated exhaustion now humming so pleasantly through his body. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 04:55 am (UTC)The system, it seems, is satisfied with that. It's a little clearer than coming out of the fantasies on the beach, and soon enough he's blinking in one of the hotel's private VR rooms, pulling off a headset and instinctively search for Sylvain.
Even though they're close enough to touch. Basch's hand immediately goes to his thigh, his healing tattoo peaking up from the curve of his forearm, reminding him yet again they both agreed to this. Today, exploring, the future here. ]
How are you feeling, love?
[ It's soft, but there's a twinge of anxiety to it. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 09:38 pm (UTC)... That's going to take some getting used to. It felt so real.
[ Whatever magics these are, they're like nothing he's ever experienced before. He'd thought all that was real, in the moment. had forgotten everything outside it, until the only thing that existed was what he thought was the true reality inside their little test play.
But he's quick to reach for Basch's hand with a fond smile, squeezing his hand in reassurance. ]
That was... incredible. How are you?
[ Because that's his real concern here, especially with what they'd been experimenting with. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 10:13 pm (UTC)I...it felt incredible for me as well. I was so...confident. There was no doubt I knew what you wanted. I just trusted I was right and pushed you toward it.
[ He frowns, squeezing Sylvain's leg, but only in thought. ]
I don't mind, because I was right and I know you were alright with it...but what if I had that assuredness and I was wrong? I could have really damaged you, physically and psychologically. I think -- I think that's what scares me about that side of me.
[ He gives a smile though, and a reassuring squeeze. ] This didn't scare me though.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 12:21 am (UTC)[ Tossing the VR helmet aside, he rolls towards the other man, cupping the side of his face with one of his hands. ]
You had me at your mercy in there. And both of us not having the knowledge we do out here. And yet, despite that, you never once crossed a line. You never pushed past my boundaries. You had complete power over me and you could have abused that any number of ways. And yet we both came out of it having experienced pleasure and satisfaction.
You could have done a great many things. But you didn't. And I think you would have adjusted your approach no matter who you had kneeling before you. You're more intuitive than you realize. You knew exactly how to guide me to where you wanted me, without going too far.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 04:43 am (UTC)I guess that's right. I had no interest in doing anything that would harm you or our relationship, even in that setting. The goal was still pleasure, and what I overrode was intentional.
[ He squeezes Sylvain's hand again, still a little uneasy, even if it was lessening. ]
And it doesn't feel uncomfortable now? Knowing you were coerced while we were still in there? I...know you were alright with this scenario, but I know how bleak lack of choice was for you in the past. The you in there only had those feelings.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 04:48 am (UTC)That was still a far better option than you’d think. No, love, I’m not uncomfortable. Well. That’s not true. [ He pauses, glancing down ruefully. ] That was… entirely too realistic, apparently. I’m going to need to change.
[ But that just has his gaze coming back to mete Basch’s, turning a hint mischievous now. ]
Have I mentioned that you as a pirate is unfairly hot? Because it is.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 04:58 am (UTC)We can go clean up. I feel as tired as if it were real, and I'd very much just like to hold you and possibly nap.
[ But then he's flushing, all composure gone. ]
I...am glad you enjoyed it. [ His intonation is almost a question, but gods he's trying to just take the compliment. ] Though I'm not sure what constitutes unfairly. Or hot in this case.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:08 am (UTC)[ He pushes himself up into a sitting position, leaning his weight on his hands as he grins down at his lover. ]
And it was ridiculously attractive. I figured it would be, just from the scenario we chose, but seeing it firsthand… Damn, Basch. Clearly I need to let you be in charge more often, if that’s what we get to do.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 02:55 pm (UTC)I -- didn't realize you liked me being in charge that much.
[ Except he already knew, didn't he? Every time they'd played that way, Sylvain had enjoyed it and relaxed. ]
If you like it, then we should do it more, I just --
[ He can't quite get the sentence out, his cheeks still burning. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:07 pm (UTC)Didn't you like it, when you wore my collar and I led you out for the night?
[ he knows the answer to that, but he wants to put this into perspective for Basch and hopes this might help it make more sense. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:39 pm (UTC)And he sees Sylvain's point. ]
Very much. I wasn't sure how it would feel, since that beginning of that scenario you were so against it.
[ He brushes Sylvain's hair back absently. ]
That first night I was with you, I was frightened that you'd go to far, but it was such a relief to let you take charge once I realized you weren't going to.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:49 pm (UTC)I want you to think about how you felt for both of those nights. What you got out of it. What you were afraid of and what you trusted. So let me assure you, I got the same out of it, I'm pretty sure. You're right, there is a sense of relief in it, in surrendering. And I know you will never go too far. Trust like that doesn't come easily - for either of us, I think.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 11:43 pm (UTC)[ He gives a wry smile of his own. ]
Maybe I'm too protective of you.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 11:53 pm (UTC)We knew the first time trying this wasn't going to be easy. That's why we added some enhancement. Even if I didn't remember agreeing to it, it doesn't change that I chose this. I knew you'd convince me one way or another.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 12:30 am (UTC)I suppose this wasn't so different from the professor play. There's some part of you that likes being desired and overpowered by authority, isn't there? One who turns out to be safe, at least.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 01:13 am (UTC)I think it's the 'safe' part that makes the difference.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 01:26 am (UTC)[ It's a low, gentle laugh as he slides his hand through Sylvain's hair. He understands a little better why Sylvain always enjoys making him flush. ]
I'm glad I'm so safe for you, even when we aren't ourselves.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 02:01 am (UTC)[ Which is basically an admission in itself.
But he chuckles as he kisses Basch again. ]
You were definitely still yourself in all the ways that counted.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 03:59 am (UTC)Still, Sylvain is right. This place’s influence or not, both of them have enjoyed everything together. That feels important. ]
I suppose that is a valid assessment. And that you were as well. Stubborn. Beautiful. Hungry. Sweet.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 04:01 am (UTC)[ he spares a moment on mock insult at that scandalous compliment. But it’s obvious the reaction is completely feigned. ]. I’ll take the rest of them, but sweet?! Really?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 09:46 pm (UTC)You worry about me, and push me to take care of myself, and make sure I feel safe and wanted. What would you call that?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 09:48 pm (UTC)[ he crosses his arms over his chest, as if this were something he was about to get stubborn about. Hell, he might. Just for the fun of having something new to tease Basch about. Or being teased about in return. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 10:08 pm (UTC)Which you are, and it's very sweet.
[ He raises a brow. ]
Is your sweetness a secret? I won't tell anyone.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-10 10:33 pm (UTC)[ He gives a mock-mournful sigh, as if this were the most tragic fate and how could Basch do such a thing to him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-11 01:40 am (UTC)[ he grins, hand on the back of Sylvain’s neck as he pulls their foreheads close.
Another tease he wouldn’t have been bold enough to make before. ]
So…we should do this again then?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 01:39 am (UTC)I think we should. If you're comfortable with it, that is? I think I'm more worried about if we're still in our comfort zone. I think we both know I'm pretty flexible. [ he flashes Basch a quick grin, his manner dipping into playful again. ] And a deviant. Whether you're playing Professor or not.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 02:49 am (UTC)[ but his voice is soft and thoughtful, fingers brushing through Sylvain’s hair. ]
I’m not sure I’m ready to be your professor again if I don’t know we’re playing. But I would do this again, here.
You were a terribly tempting student though.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 02:52 am (UTC)[ He's totally helping push comfort zones, right? ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 03:00 am (UTC)I often have trouble keeping my eyes off your ass. Especially when you’re trying to get me to look.
You were so frustrated I didn’t give in sooner. It was oddly endearing.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 03:03 am (UTC)I'm suitably impressed with your willpower. Although I have to say, having you fuck me over your desk was particularly delightful. I hadn't even realized that was a fantasy I had. Then again, you're quite the upgrade from most of my actual professors.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 03:16 am (UTC)I clearly found you alluring enough to give in. And…it was quite hot. I’ve revisited that one.
I’m not sure you would have liked me as well if I had been your professor, but I’ll take being your fantasy one. I like finding your desires.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-15 03:35 am (UTC)But I'll keep you as my fantasy professor anyway. Although I'm gonna be real sad if I never get to play off sucking you off under your desk while you're trying to give a lecture. Just saying.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-16 03:19 am (UTC)I will need to know we're playing for that one, but... [ there's a surge of heat, and he cups that mischievous face ] if that's something you'd like, then we'll find a way to explore it.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-16 03:25 am (UTC)Really? You'd do that?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-16 03:28 am (UTC)I think I need to know our audience is not actually unknowing minors in my care, but so long as that worry is at rest, yes. I -- certainly see the appeal of you inevitably breaking my resolve.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-16 04:18 am (UTC)Considering they're not even real, that's an easy assurance to give.
Morning After Talks
Date: 2024-08-03 03:15 am (UTC)This morning is not one of those times, however. He’s awake in the early hours of the morning, despite the long, eventful day before and despite the fact that he’s cozily cuddled up in Basch’s bed, stretched out comfortably with his lover currently sound asleep on his chest.
His fingers absently trace along the line of the man’s shoulder and arm where it’s wrapped around his waist, his other arm propped beneath his head like a pillow as he stares at the ceiling. Well. Not really at the ceiling. He’s too lost in thought to be staring at anything, really. ]
Re: Morning After Talks
Date: 2024-08-03 03:49 am (UTC)So he isn't up quite as early as the other, especially not with how tired he was, both physically and mentally, but when he does stir to shift, Sylvain's touch pulls him to awareness. It's not disruptive itself, but his mind knows a break in pattern, even half-asleep. ]
Alright, little fox?
[ It's murmured reactively, but as the words register to his own ears, he feels his stomach drop. This...is exactly what he'd been worried about. He doesn't want to think about it, doesn't want to resign himself to it, but he can already feel himself starting to detach, trying to tuck his emotions where they won't cause problems in whatever conversation is coming.
He can't be disappointed. Or surprised. This already lasted so much longer than he ever dreamed. ]

Date: 2024-08-03 03:53 am (UTC)Feeling the man start to pull back, his arm tightens around his lover’s waist instead, keeping him pinned against Sylvain’s chest as he brushes a gentle kiss against the top of his head. ]
I think that should officially be my line. What’s wrong, Basch? Something’s troubling you.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 04:01 am (UTC)And then the fear doubles, because he shouldn't be indulging in this if-- if-- ]
Nothing.
[ No, it feels sour even as it comes out, and he sighs. Whatever is happening, he can't be dishonest. Not with Sylvain. He respects him too much. Cares about him too much, his own heart be damned. ]
Nothing you need to worry about.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 04:05 am (UTC)Sylvain rolls them over abruptly, sprawling himself over Basch’s form and pinning him to the bed beneath him as he props his arms across the man’s chest and rests his chin atop them. Staring up at the man as he searches his face. ]
Yeah, see, you’re a really terrible liar. And I think it’s up to me to decide what to be worried about, or not. And since you’re evading answering my question, I’m gonna go with ‘definitely worried’.
[ He reaches up, his fingers sliding against the man’s stubbled jaw as he holds his gaze. ]
What is it, Basch? Did I do something wrong? Something to upset you?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 04:14 am (UTC)Except...he's not expecting Sylvain to settle back onto him, or to caress his face like that. And when the other keeps talking, Basch's expression grows pained, head shaking sharply. ]
You haven't done anything wrong. I'm upset with myself.
[ Which, now that he's said it, is certainly true. ]
I'm sorry. I knew I was off, and I shouldn't have had you come back with me until I'd managed my feelings.
[ It had been yet another divulgence in his rawness. Sylvain had offered and...and he'd wanted to just feel safe and wanted, even if he knew he had to grapple with the reality of what the beach had brought up. It would be fine. He just...shouldn't have dragged Sylvain into it until he'd sorted himself. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 04:18 am (UTC)[ His voice is soft as those fingers trail from Basch’s jaw to trace over the downturned angle of his lips. ]
Something upset you, enough that you worried about it yesterday, and it was your first thought this morning. I don’t want you to manage your feelings. I want you to share them with me.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 06:05 pm (UTC)And that's enough of an order that his mind latches onto it. One thing that has not wavered in any of this is his desire to please his lover. ]
You didn't finish, when I was in the stocks. [ He blurts it out, and immediately regrets it. Gods. He is no good at this. He's going to make it worse. ] And Olivine wasn't satisfied either.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 06:23 pm (UTC)But he does crawl up Basch's body more so he can gaze down at him with fond affection. Cupping the man's hand in warm palms so he holds his gaze in return. ]
Baby. I wanted to get you out of the stocks. It had nothing to do with you failing to satisfy me - which wasn't the case, let me assure you. And just because Olivine was ready to go again has less to do with you failing to satisfy him and more with him having the most ridiculously robust stamina out of anyone I have ever met. That's not on you. I literally managed to make that man come six times in a single session, just to see if he could. He probably could have done more.
And before you turn that as a strike against you, no, I absolutely did not use my cock for all of those, because I can't keep up with Olivine's libido, either.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 06:59 pm (UTC)I -- don't want to hold you back. And I don't want to be a liability when you want to be with someone else. [ The admissions are almost a whisper, like saying them will rip off whatever cover they've carefully pinned over what his frayed mind feels like is the inevitable truth. ] I don't want to get in the way.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:03 pm (UTC)[ He says it softly and with utter fondness as he drops his head and trails his lips against Basch's in slow kisses. ]
You're not. You don't. You have never been a liability, Basch, nor have you ever been in the way of anything or anyone. Not here, not with me. If I've got you here, front and center, trust me when I say it's because I want you right here. With me. Just as you are.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:17 pm (UTC)But whatever this is, it hasn't dislodged, and whether its cynicism at what's to come or respecting Sylvain too much to lie, he feels like he shouldn't let it go yet. ]
When we're together I trust that entirely. And I like and trust Olivine -- I honestly enjoyed myself. But it reminded me you have other partners, and that means there's always going to be the need for choice. And I understand I can't necessarily give what they give or can't be your top priority. I just...I wasn't ready to think about that day coming, not when being with you is so good, and I know that's selfish, especially when this has always been the arrangement. I don't want or need you to be anything but what you are, I just...
[ He swallows hard, aware his eyes are glossy. He hadn't meant to say that much, hadn't even been aware of some of it, and now that he's stopped all he can do is stare pleadingly at Sylvain, the terror of losing him so painfully clear. Which, he knows, acting like this is not helping. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:25 pm (UTC)Finally, he tips his head to the side slightly, considering the man watching him with visible fear and dread. ]
Basch. Are you going to make me choose?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:33 pm (UTC)No. Not on purpose. But I know every ask to be with me is a choice to not be with someone else. You could have gone back with Olivine last night...
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 07:50 pm (UTC)Basch. You don't ask me to choose. I know that. But I wanted you to say it. Just the same as I'm not going to make you choose. I know there are others in your bed, too. That's the nature of this place.
But the difference with this? Trust me when I say, if I'm here in your bed, it's because it's the only place I want to be. I choose to be here. What you give me is what I want from you. It's everything I need from you. It is more than enough.
Yes, I could have gone to bed with any number of people last night - as could you, I'm sure. And yet, here you and I are. [ A pause, as he arches an eyebrow, fingers moving to trace those lips instead of quiet them. ]
This isn't a competition for affection - mine or yours, Basch. You have it even without asking me to choose.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 08:19 pm (UTC)It also very much had not occurred to him that he could possibly be enough, or that Sylvain didn't...mind choosing. Not of his own free will, and not when it wasn't a be all end all. It was an old wound, to be told causing someone to choose at all was out of line.
He turns into that touch at his lips, brushing a shy kiss against Sylvain's fingers. ]
Everything has been different with you, since that very first night. [ It's whispered again, a secret he's kept so close. He cups Sylvain's face, forcing himself to keep eye contact. ] I...you're so important to me. I don't want to make you choose, ever, and I also want you to keep choosing me. I want you to keep ending up back here with me, or me with you. I want to keep seeing you happy when I choose you.
And that terrifies me.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-03 08:55 pm (UTC)I've never done this with anyone before either, Basch. I never let anyone get close enough to become important, but you have. You are. And I'm just as terrified about it, if I'm honest.
[ His fingers brush against the other man's jaw, gaze dropping to his lips and breaking that eye contact finally. A hint of shame as he takes a deep breath. ]
Choice... it's not something I'm used to, not really. Everyone who came before this place, none of them were ever real. I couldn't let them be. Not when I knew every one of them would be temporary.
Choosing who became permanent for me... that wasn't going to be my choice. It would have nothing to do with how I felt or what I wanted and everything to do with what my lineage demanded, to create the next generation of Gautier. I might as well have been sold out for stud, for all the say I would have in it.
So I got used to being... careless. Giving away what I could, because it was easier when it meant nothing. They all viewed me as a chance to get what they wanted, a step up in the world, so I used them before they could use me. I did... a lot of things I'm not proud of.
And when I got here... [ He gives a why laugh, shaking his head. ] Let's just say I felt uniquely prepared for this game. I've been playing it most of my life. Except I actually do have choices here. Maybe not many but certainly more than I ever had back home.
[ His gaze flits up to meet Basch's gaze again, serious and intent, amber eyes shadowed. ] And everything's been different since that first night with you. I want to keep choosing you, because I can, because I want to. You're the first person I've ever chosen, Basch. I don't have the words for how important you are to me. But trust me when I say, I will continue to choose you, continue to be delighted to be chosen by you, for as long as you want me.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-04 01:22 am (UTC)And that's before Sylvain starts talking. Basch holds his face, eyes wide. He wouldn't dare interrupt, not when he can sense how private this is for Sylvain. But he wants to brush that shame away, hold the other for all he's endured.
By the time their gazes meet again, Basch's are wet with silent tear tracks, but he doesn't flinch away. This isn't the first time Sylvain has said some of these things -- that he'd chosen Basch, that Basch was the first person who'd wanted him for him -- but it makes more sense now. And -- maybe he's ready to hear it, finally.
He inclines his head, still raw, still shy, but he kisses Sylvain with gentle warmth, tracing their noises together and breathing out shakily, trying to find his own words. ]
I'm...not used to my choice being very welcome, or worth very much. I've fallen for too many people I couldn't have, and told to know my place, and they always had obligations that superseded me. I don't begrudge them that. [ He rubs his thumb against Sylvain's jaw, his other arm finally coming up to hold the other, now that he knows the shelter of it is still welcome. ]
I know what a misery it was to them, too. I never wanted to make that harder. I think...I keep expecting something like that to come between us. I really, truly hadn't considered that -- we wanted each other.
[ And then he laughs, a strained incredulous bark, because that's entirely wrong. ]
No, no, I knew. I hadn't considered we could want each other and just...have each other. It's never that easy. Except with you it has been, and I -- I was, am so afraid if I acknowledge that, if I let myself really feel how important and irreplaceable you are to me, that...it will truly break me to lose you. [ There's a silent sob on the heel of that admission, a fear he's been trying to clamp down for months, but today he just lets it propel him back to Sylvain's lips, kissing harder this time, holding his lover and the man who has, for reasons still unfathomable to him, chosen over and over to land in his arms and meet him with patience. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-04 04:44 am (UTC)I tend to have trouble trusting anything that's easy, too. [ He confesses softly, lips quirking in a rueful smile, still pressed against Basch's. ] Anything that seems too good to be true usually is, after all. But Basch. Your choice - that you keep choosing me... it's everything.
I don't want anything - or anyone - in this place to come between us. Things are complicated here, I know. Whatever relationship we make for ourselves, it's going to be far from normal. But maybe you and I thrive better with that. I can safely say, I'm pretty sure 'normal' wouldn't work for me in general.
We're both going to have other lovers - maybe just for a night, or maybe more frequent than that. I think, if we can accept that reality, along with the fact that we both have this, here, [ he pauses, presses his hand over Basch's heart ] to always fall back to... Do you think you can be content with that? You are so important to me, Basch, and just as irreplaceable. I want you to know... I choose you, too. I want you to know your place... it's right here, with me.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-04 08:45 pm (UTC)Maybe we really do thrive better with this [ he says, rolling the thought around for the first time. ] I've always meant it when I said I don't mind that you have have other lovers. I -- I think it's good, for both of us, for the things we need to heal, and to not need each other to be everything at all times. But you're right that we don't have much choice in that. What we do have choice in is what we do together, and how serious this is.
[ He strokes Sylvain's face, awe and fondness on his own. ] I...don't think I can express how happy I am that you want me the way I want you. It's not a matter of being content with this arrangement. This is the happiest I've ever been.
[ He smiles weakly ] That's why I was so sure I'd missed something somewhere.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 01:00 am (UTC)You are allowed to be happy, you know. Especially if I have anything to say about it.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 03:10 am (UTC)I believe you have a lot to say about it. It just…gods that hasn’t been part of my decision making since the war started. I don’t really remember what it feels like.
[ His gaze softens, brushing Sylvain’s hair back and drinking in the way the redhead looks at him. ]
You saw how little I even remembered how to want things when we arrived. Those last two years were especially hard, but — I hadn’t been a full person for a long time before that. Duty was everything.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 03:14 am (UTC)Your only duty here? Is to yourself. Something I think is long overdue some attention, don’t you? I want you to find what you want. Figure out what things you enjoy and even which ones you don’t. I want you to have the chance to experience everything you missed, love, and even all the things you didn’t even know you were allowed to have.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 03:25 am (UTC)[ He’s smiling at the gentle touches to his hair and face, and flushing at the still new use of that word. ]
I want you happy too, love. And I want to try as many things with you as we want. Food and strange clothes and beaches and fantasies. I know I’ve said it before, but you make me adventurous. I like that.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 03:28 am (UTC)I like it when you’re adventurous, too. Just so you know.
But we have plenty between us to try, and to learn. As strange as it is to say… I feel like this place has offered us both the sort of freedom we might never have dreamed of otherwise.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 03:48 am (UTC)When I first got here, I thought this was a punishment of some sort. Now I think it’s a gift, because you’re right. I’m grateful we’re both here, even if it feels selfish or absurd sometimes. I — I’m not sure I’d go back given the chance. And I know you won’t judge me for that.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 03:52 am (UTC)[ He gives a soft sigh, because thinking of home was… complicated. ]
I’m not sure I would, either. I should. The war there, my responsibilities, my prince, everything that awaits me… And yet, the thought of going back only fills me with dread.
This place is far from perfect. [ He cups a hand against Basch’s cheek again, eyes tracing over his familiar features with affection. ]. But it’s given me gifts beyond my wildest dreams. And I’m loathe to relinquish any of it. This… this is something worth fighting for.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:30 am (UTC)It's the same for me. The war, my queen, my responsibilities, the knowledge I have others don't. But -- I was a man with a target on his back. Sometimes I wonder if it doesn't matter I'm here; death was always the most likely outcome. Maybe I'm justifying my actions, though. I've always had a weakness for that, when something matters to me.
[ His hand comes to cover Sylvain's, turning to kiss the palm. ] You've certainly taught me something about being selfish, because I want you here, away from all of that, and I'm loathe to relinquish you, too. You're worth whatever the cost, whatever the price. And I'm grateful I can tell you that.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:35 am (UTC)Gronder… he suspected many of them would never walk back off that field, not with what awaited them that day. And as much as he mourned that, still, he didn’t regret this reprieve, this deviation of his fate, however it had come about. ]
So if I tell you I fully intend to encourage this newfound selfishness of yours…?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:43 am (UTC)Is that not what you've been doing the past eight months?
[ He kisses Sylvain again, quick but deep, his eyes bright with fondness. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:45 am (UTC)[ His grin is quick and bright and full of his affection for the other man. ]
I’ve barely even started.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:50 am (UTC)It is a good thing you are so patient with me. I am not sure I know how to handle any more than you already give.
[ Even so, he feels the swell of wanting to give Sylvain more too, especially now that he knows it's welcome and not toeing some invisible line. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 04:54 am (UTC)You have handled everything I’ve thrown at you so far, Basch, and cleverly, to boot. You don’t give yourself nearly enough credit. But that’s okay. I’ll keep giving you enough for both of us. Because selfishness aside, it is still my intent to give you everything you could possible wish for. Whether you know to ask for it or not.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-05 06:08 pm (UTC)You have such a kind heart, little fox. [ Especially given how much Sylvain has endured, cruelty and loneliness and a bleak future. ] I don't think you give yourself enough credit there either. It's one of the things I admire most about you.
[ He doesn't give Sylvain a chance to reject his words, because he kisses him again, deep and slow, arms tight around him as he sighs contentedly out his nose.
He already knew he was going to guard this man's heart, but now he can do it much more directly. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 03:12 am (UTC)When something bothers you like this again, when something makes you this afraid, please don't try and hide it from me. It will do neither of us any good to try and ignore it, rather that resolve it once and for all. And I want you to feel like you can come to me with anything - I'm not going to judge you for what you think and feel, Basch, nor for the scars you carry from what you've experienced.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 03:55 am (UTC)[ It's out before he even registers the thought, hands in Sylvain's hair, holding him close even with their foreheads pressed together.
And then he sighs, because that's...what this is about too. It was better that they talked about it, that Sylvain let him soothe him in turn, rather than carry that worry alone. ]
So it goes for both of us, then.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 04:33 am (UTC)[ Sylvain blinks for a moment, trying to remember which time Basch was referring to. ]
You mean when I first moved up here? Basch, that wasn’t… You didn’t do anything wrong. It was a misunderstanding, yes, but also one we resolved by talking about it. Making sure we were both clear on where the other stood. I can’t say we won’t have more of those - we likely will. But I think as long as we promise to talk about what’s upsetting us… I think that will be okay. Don’t you?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 04:49 am (UTC)I'm -- not very good at talking. I never quite say what I mean to, though I've been doing oddly well this morning.
But that's what I meant. It was good we talked then, too. I can promise that, if you can too. [ There's a brush of shyness, his eyes dipping. Demanding, even asking something of a lover is still new. Even if he knows Sylvain wants him to. ] I don't want you holding hurt in either. I much prefer being able to soothe it.
[ He doesn't bring up their conversation on the beach the night Sylvain told him about his brother, but it's certainly on his mind, too. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 10:10 pm (UTC)[ His voice holds a soft note of fondness. In truth, he'd gotten so used to no one wanting to hear about things like that. It was too inconvenient, or awkward, or messy.
The fact that he was probably the one among his friends who was the most open about his thoughts and feelings... didn't say a lot of good things about his friends, really, considering he almost never talked about them himself. His relationship with Dimitri had never really been like that, Felix would have fled the moment he brought up any feelings whatsoever, and Ingrid... anything he admitted to Ingrid probably would have just gotten him in trouble and scolded, honestly.
It makes him appreciate this, appreciate Basch all the more. He brushes a kiss against the man's lips, lingering there. ]
We'll figure it out together.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-06 10:47 pm (UTC)But he does feel that fondness and enthusiasm, and it puts a blissful grin onto his face. ]
I like that. I like that we don’t need all the answers now, and that we help each other.
[ Which makes him bashful again, but their lips are so close that it’s easy to bury it in yet another kiss. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 12:23 am (UTC)[ His tone is wry at that, but he more than happily indulges Basch in that kiss. ]
Besides. I like figuring it out with you. Our answers wouldn't be the same for anyone else anyway. They're ours.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 04:46 am (UTC)[ But he's smiling. He doesn't mind that he was gullible or lonely or confused or any of it. It's led him here, and suddenly that feels worth however it came about.
And his heart lifts again, hearing Sylvain embrace the idea of an us, an ours. It's something the other wants to celebrate, not hide. Basch hasn't let himself hope for that in so long. ]
You're right. I want to keep learning all the things that are ours.
[ He bites his lip for a moment, still feeling foolish and vulnerable, but it's just for a moment before he chuckles at himself, pressing his face to Sylvain's again. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 04:50 am (UTC)Was that all that was bothering you yesterday? Or was there something else in what we did that had you concerned?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 04:55 am (UTC)No, that was what it was. I...enjoyed the restraint and the public nature of it, and Olivine joining us. More than I expected.
If anything, I had a hard time with you both giving me attention and being unable to do much back.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 04:58 am (UTC)That doesn’t surprise me at all. If you enjoyed it, maybe next time we can gang up on Olivine together. And then you can do as much as you like.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 02:59 pm (UTC)I think he deserves that. But...I wouldn't mind learning to trust you both want to focus on me sometimes.
[ Which feels selfish and dangerous, but also important. He understands what it is to have affection rejected, and he trusts these two men more than anyone else. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:04 pm (UTC)Good. Because in case you missed it, I very much enjoy focusing on you. And I think I can safely say Olivine probably feels the same. Although feel free to ask him, if you like. I can't imagine him making you blush nearly as much as I do, though.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:26 pm (UTC)But he does laugh, bumping Sylvain back. ]
No one makes me blush nearly as much as you do, love.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:35 pm (UTC)Well, good. I'm keeping that accomplishment. I do so love making you turn all those pretty shades of red, after all.
[ But since Basch seems far more comfortable now with this resolved, he brushes his fingers over the man's jaw with an affectionate smile. ]
Feel up to getting some breakfast with me?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:41 pm (UTC)I think that would be a wonderful way to take advantage of you being awake so early.
[ It's a found tease, but truth is he has no desire to part with Sylvain just yet, and he's glad the other feels the same. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 05:51 pm (UTC)Don't remind me. Although staying in bed for several more hours also has its appeal, now that I think about it...
[ Of course, that's when his stomach gives a protesting growl to contradict him. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 11:39 pm (UTC)[ There's a laugh to his voice though as he squeezes the other's middle. ]
I think you could too. And then we can stay in bed all day, or maybe the bath. I suspect I'm going to be feeling this for a few days.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-07 11:51 pm (UTC)Still no regrets?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 12:20 am (UTC)[ His answer is quick and easy, his smile warm at Sylvain's smugness. ]
All of this was better than I possibly could have imagined. Thank you.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 01:14 am (UTC)Why don't you stay here where its comfy, then, and I'll go fetch us some breakfast instead?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 01:28 am (UTC)[ He kisses the other again, but does not hold him there. The reality is, he is sore, and he's been asked to let the other take care of him. ]
But it also sounds like the best compromise.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 03:16 am (UTC)[ he’s grinning as he says it, knowing he’s pulled that excuse a dozen times, at the very least. ]
I promise I won’t be long and then we can be lazy as much as you like. Alright?
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 04:03 am (UTC)If I were stealing your strategies, then I’d be sprawled across you and possibly scratching your hair to distract you.
[ and having a moment to himself is not unwelcome, just to give his mind a chance to catch up. ]
Go. I trust you. But I do intend to keep you the rest of the day.
[ It’s not lost on him that it’s a claim he woke up fearing he was shortly going to be unable to make. Instead, it’s the most confident he’s ever expressed it. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 04:07 am (UTC)Trust me, I have absolutely no problems with that plan. I’ll be quick. [ He leans in to steal one more kiss before crawling out of bed, casting a wink over his shoulder as he goes. ]
Try not to miss me too much.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 09:48 pm (UTC)I like getting to miss you and knowing it will be relieved. And I like knowing you're eager to get back.
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 09:49 pm (UTC)[ Drama queen, him? Never! But he’s chuckling as he throws on a shirt and heads for the door. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-08-08 10:13 pm (UTC)[ He's still grinning, but there's a softness to it, watching Sylvain dress with the same loving warmth he had the day Sylvain showed him his new space. And then he waves his hand. ]
Go on.

Date: 2024-09-17 06:09 pm (UTC)Not really. Let's just say I'm aware of all their... generous assets I have no chance of competing with? [ Nope, that still sounded ridiculous. Whatever. ]
Hilda mentioned it, yes.
I think you'd look good with the little braids.
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 07:22 pm (UTC)Is that a concern? You aren't in competition with them.
I will wear them then.
If your hair grows any longer, I can do them for you.
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 07:36 pm (UTC)I'm only teasing you, Basch. [ Mostly. ] Although good to know, either way.
I'm glad you crossed paths with Hilda, though. Just don't let her talk you into doing all her chores for her.
I wasn't planning on cutting it. Although it IS getting a little out of control.
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 07:42 pm (UTC)Hilda is very kind. She has only tried to get me to relax, which seems to be a trend here.
I like your hair. Though Hilda did a nice job of leaving mine long and taming it. Perhaps you should ask her when you're ready.
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 07:54 pm (UTC)And Hilda is... something, alright. But I'm glad she did so. I know she's been a little stressed about... well, everything here.
I'm not sure trusting Hilda with sharp pointy objects around me is a good idea.
[ That is also a joke, Basch, don't panic. ]
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 08:04 pm (UTC)You're from the same world then? I didn't realize, and I don't think she realized you and I are involved.
You weren't entirely friendly then?
I feel like I ought to disclose our first meeting was...both ingesting the mating-laced skewers at the beach. Other than that and her helping with my grooming for the strings to release us, I have not really interacted with her.
Would she really stab you?
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 08:31 pm (UTC)No, she probably wouldn't stab me. Without adequate cause, anyway. Can't say I haven't given her that before, though. Hell, she might stab me for implying she'd stab me?
We were friends, of a sort, back in our Academy days, before the war. After that, though, we ended up on opposite sides. Not enemies, not exactly, but not really allies either. I haven't seen her since our Academy days, though. Although I was pretty sure I was about to, had this place not intervened.
Wait, you both ate the skewers and she didn't climb you like a tree? I'm impressed. Or disappointed. Maybe both.
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 09:18 pm (UTC)She did do that, yes. With no lack of encouragement from me. We were both rather mortified the next time we saw each other.
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 09:23 pm (UTC)I think it will be. It's not like either one of us were all that eager to be in a war in the first place.
no subject
Date: 2024-09-17 09:35 pm (UTC)It was these things usually go. She climbed in my arms and ordered me to take her somewhere to mate her. I deeply wanted to prove myself and please her. I carried her to a cabana and set her on a dresser to use my mouth, but she protested it wasn't enough and pulled me to bed. She told me to bruise and mark her. I was on top but she certainly led and fucked me harder. She was not shy about orders, which you know how I feel about that. We nested for awhile, until the magic wore off, and then both awkwardly said goodbye. I'm not sure who was redder the next time we saw each other, with the strings, but she was clear she wanted to try again as people actually meeting. I appreciated that.
She told me a little about your home, or at least her part of it, and some people she knew. I could tell she was a warrior and that the war weighed on her, and that she doesn't like to burden others. She does like to tease and fluster though. Is that cultural, or just the two of you?

Date: 2024-10-13 09:29 am (UTC)It's Kaveh.
I was wondering if you were free?
You've already helped me out a lot these last couple of weeks but... I could use some company. If you don't mind.
no subject
Date: 2024-10-14 02:48 am (UTC)Would you like to come here, or me to come to you?
no subject
Date: 2024-10-21 06:10 am (UTC)I'm in my suite. I haven't really felt up to leaving, I guess.
no subject
Date: 2024-10-23 02:34 am (UTC)[ He's not much of a texter, but he'll show up not long after, knocking on the door and shooting a quick 'I'm here.' ]
no subject
Date: 2024-10-24 02:17 pm (UTC)Now, he's opening the door for the other, a tired smile on his face. The good news, perhaps, is that he's feeling much better than he felt before, having asked a few other friends to spend time with him too. But he's still more than grateful for the company. ]
Hey. Come in... [ He steps aside, allowing the other entrance to his suite. ] Thank you. I wasn't sure if you'd be free.
no subject
Date: 2024-10-31 02:46 am (UTC)And he's honored that Kaveh already feels safe enough to reach out to him. ]
I often find routines to keep myself busy here -- I'm glad for the company. [ He steps inside, watching Kaveh from the corner of his eye, trying to surmise what the other may need. Distraction? An ear? Someone to give a tour to. ]
You seem to be settling in a little better. Were your things properly relocated here?
no subject
Date: 2024-12-29 08:15 am (UTC)Still, he's glad that the other welcomes the company as much as he does. Seeing that he's trying to work out what to do, though, he gently hooks an arm around the other's forearm and guides him in toward the couch. He's not sure what he needs, exactly—he just doesn't want to be alone. ]
They were. It's a relief... when I couldn't get into my room, I... well, you saw me. [ His smile is a little wry. ] There was a lot of important stuff in there, so.. I'm glad they moved it all properly.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-10 01:42 am (UTC)He nods, drawing no attention to how distraught Kaveh was. ] As untethered as we are, losing any familiarity or belongings is truly jarring.
It...was similar, in war. Losing a tent or a trinket was often more upsetting than having lost a battle or a whole town.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-17 02:33 am (UTC)And then, he nods. ]
I... Obviously I can't claim to have experienced anything like that. But I think I understand. When I couldn't get in, and I thought I'd lost Alhaitham's earbuds...
[ He falls quiet for a moment, his words choking up around the mention of the other man before he can make himself continue: ]
It was like losing him again.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-24 01:50 am (UTC)His arms tighten, hands absently stroking hair and back. It's...nice to be able to comfort. To feel not just useful, but helpful. ]
I'm glad you still have your things. It does make a difference in grief.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-28 09:29 am (UTC)He reaches into the pocket of his lounge pants, resurfacing with a small earbud case. ]
His ears are really sensitive. Back home, he made himself these special headphones, but of course when we got here they didn't come. It was hard for him at first, until he found these. It got a little easier after that. And then... when he disappeared, so much of his stuff was just gone. Except for these. I've had them since.
[ His nose wrinkles. ]
Xie Lian—he's my friend, I met him here—he came with me. Helped hold me together while I figured it all out. And now... [ He falls quiet, his fingers closing tight around the case. ] Now he's gone too.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-30 08:03 pm (UTC)A clever solution [ he nods. ] I'm glad you had something. That's the hardest part of all of this -- it was at home too, during the war. We anchor ourselves to our new community and then...it shifts, and it's like the floor has fallen in.
You're handling this well, but it's never easy. Even if you've been through it a hundred times.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-03 11:42 am (UTC)I like to think that I am. But I'm also...
[ He sighs, and his nose wrinkles, his gaze dropping away once more. ]
Every time it happens, I get scared all over again. I've gotten close to so many people since arriving here. I hate to think about not being able to see you all again. Sometimes it's hard even to think about going home because of that. I... it would be nice to be with Alhaitham again, and my friends. But I'd miss all of you.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-04 01:10 pm (UTC)I understand [ he says quietly ] War was the same, but...I think it scares me more here. It's easier to forget that we aren't all living our lives, that there's still something strange going on. I get night terrors sometimes, that the people most important to me are gone.
I...I would choose not to go back. I do not know if that makes me a bad person, but there is both little life left for me there and much I ought to face up to. I would rather stay here, or follow someone I care for back to their home. But I worry we will not have any choice in the end.
I wish I could provide more comfort, but I've never been any good at lying.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-09 08:59 am (UTC)And yet Basch says that compared to home, he'd rather stay here.
It says a lot, Kaveh thinks, about the place from which he's come. ]
You don't have to comfort me. In the end, I think we all have the same worries, don't we? The same reasons to be afraid. All we can do is hang onto each other.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-09 07:01 pm (UTC)I wish to comfort you, and protect. It is...always how I have been able to care for others. [ It is so little, in the face of everything. And maybe a selfish impulse, to feel some soothing. ] I do think you are right, that all we can is keep those we have close for as long as we have them.
[ So, so like war. ]
we're probably winding to a close on this one too?
Date: 2025-02-15 11:04 am (UTC)I think we're similar, Basch. You and me. In this, at least. I always want to protect people too. But you're right... in a place like this, sometimes it's hard. So I think... we lean on each other. As much as we need to.
[ He squeezes the other's hand. ]
Thank you. I've been struggling with being alone the last few days and... I just really appreciate this.
Happy to wrap <3
Date: 2025-02-19 03:37 am (UTC)He places a hand over Kaveh's, nodding slowly. ]
I...would like that. Lean on each other. You don't need to be alone if you don't want to. [ he squeezes the other's hand. ] And...I don't either.
I'm glad we met.
For Sylvain: Professor Part 3
Date: 2024-12-23 09:58 pm (UTC)When Sylvain was, technically, no longer his student either. At least for now.
Not that Sylvain hadn't found ways to press the rules, to keep teasing and fanning the mutual attraction. But neither had pushed the rules Basch laid down, and the next few weeks crept by at a glacial pace.
Finally, Basch was dismissing the previous student -- good, smart girl -- from his office, walking her out. He'd scheduled Sylvain last, which had been wise on some fronts, but not on how increasingly distracted he'd become. Now his heart leaps, pulse pounding in his ears, as he calls the man into his office.
It's only a lifetime of being stoic that keeps his face even as he gestures to the open chair and takes his own seat, flipping through a near-empty file for Sylvain's exam. ]
Take a seat.
no subject
Date: 2024-12-29 03:25 am (UTC)And the Looks he was getting from other nearby professors was nerve-wracking all on its own. He didn't like having this much of this kind of attention on him.
So he's more than grateful to slink into Basch's office, slumping into the chair before his desk with a grimace at that succinct greeting. He had tried, and he thought he hadn't done too bad? Just his luck, it was apparently terrible enough to get him called here for a meeting instead.
He knew he should have just kept doing what he always did instead. ]
Ugh. Was it really that bad? I told you this was a bad idea.
no subject
Date: 2024-12-29 03:42 am (UTC)As to Sylvain’s protests, he kept his face entirely neutral, taking the paper out and sliding it face down to the other. ]
I blinded the names and had my TA assist me so that the grades would be entirely unbiased and fully vetted.
[ Still no change on his face, just watching Sylvain look over the exam. ]
It was the only perfect score.
no subject
Date: 2024-12-29 05:02 am (UTC)And then he just freezes, blinking at Basch in disbelief. There’s no way. ]
What?!
no subject
Date: 2024-12-30 04:06 am (UTC)I am pleased you applied yourself, and I hope this will remind you that you are extremely capable. I’ve kept my word and no one knows your score except me.
[ He can feel the heat entering his cheeks, but his gaze and voice stay even. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-01 10:44 pm (UTC)There had to be some mistake, right? ]
Are you sure your TA didn't mess up?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-02 06:23 pm (UTC)The scoring is correct, Sylvain.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-09 07:36 pm (UTC)Okay, but the only...? That sounds just as impossible. [ He knows who he's in that class with. That he outscored all of them, when they were all more knowledgeable and skilled in this... That was absurd. ] ...Maybe the others were having an off day?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-10 02:49 am (UTC)There were other high scores; that was not the anomaly. But they were rote solutions. A perfect score requires creativity and a personal take. You scored this well by being yourself, and being earnest. I always enjoy giving these papers back. I get them once every year or two.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-10 02:55 am (UTC)So is there a catch now, or...?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-10 03:18 am (UTC)Our agreement still stands. But you are in no obligation to collect immediately if...today's information has not put you in the right mood.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-10 03:34 am (UTC)Chuckling, he shakes his head, leaning back in his chair again. ]
Oh, no way, professor. You're not wiggling out of our deal that easily.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-10 03:44 am (UTC)I'm not--
[ But he stops, cut off by the ease returning to Sylvain, the languid confidence that makes his mouth dry. He should be trying to wiggle out of their deal. This man is so young and, despite his best bravado, so vulnerable. Basch is being an absolute irresponsible monster.
No matter that by Sylvain's age, he'd been at war near ten years. Already a commander. His friends who weren't dead married and parents. ]
You had my word. You may collect when you wish. Later, or now.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 05:37 pm (UTC)And if I want to collect now?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 06:57 pm (UTC)You would be well within your right.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 06:58 pm (UTC)Hmm. So would you say I’ve well-earned my reward, then, Professor?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 07:06 pm (UTC)[ He asks it very quietly, voice an octave lower. It's clear Sylvain is uncomfortable with it when he's actually being a mentor, but it's also clear the mood has shifted considerably. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 07:09 pm (UTC)Besides, he’s focused on something else right now. ]
No, Professor, I think you should fuck me.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 07:13 pm (UTC)Any specific requests? [ he manages. But he does stand from his chair, lying his hands on either side of Sylvain's, leaving their faces close enough for their breath to mingle. His skin is electric, heart pounding wildly. It's late. The door is locked. But they're still in his office, and still in a major hall. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 07:19 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 07:58 pm (UTC)He’s not about to turn down Sylvain’s orders, not when the other made himself so vulnerable for his side of the deal. But this puts Basch in a terribly vulnerable place, admitting to what he wants. Entirely taking control and abusing his position.
But he’s thought about that too. That it must be part of the appeal for Sylvain. That he likes that Basch sees him, that he didn’t want just one time. Does he…want someone safe to take charge? Even if Basch is as safe as a house on fire.
But he can feel his arousal already stiffening his cock. ]
Limits?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 08:11 pm (UTC)How about I just tell you if you ever start drifting near one? I don’t have many.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 08:35 pm (UTC)Then come over here.
[ He straightens, opening a drawer in his desk and fumbling around til he finds a long length of cord. ]
Unfasten your trousers, then turn around so I can bind your wrists.
[ In case that’s off limits. And he’s absolutely fuchsia. He can’t think about what he’s doing or he will bolt. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 08:41 pm (UTC)His pants are undone by the time he gets there, and he shoots his Professor a sassy wink as he turns around, wrists behind his back as instructed. ]
Like this? Sir?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-12 11:17 pm (UTC)Very good [ he says as firmly as he can manage. Gods, does he sound ridiculous? He takes the other's wrists, beginning to crisscross the cord over them. Not so tight Sylvain couldn't get out if he really wanted to, but enough to limit his mobility and put a little burn in his shoulders.
As he works, heart thumping and face still red as it can be, he leans in, hesitating. His breath warms on the other's neck. But this is what Sylvain wanted, so--
He licks below the other's ear. ]
Alright. Undo my trousers as well.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-13 12:00 am (UTC)A shiver slips visibly down his spine when that breath teases against his skin, making his own breath hitch audibly in his throat. He flexes his wrists, testing the tightness of the bindings, before inching his fingers back towards the fly of Basch’s pants. It was a little awkward, but he was more than up for the challenge his Professor had set for him. ]
Should I be worrying about why you’ve got rope in your drawer, Professor? Were you planning ahead for me?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-13 12:41 am (UTC)Yes.
[ He can manage a one word lie if Sylvain isn’t scrutinizing him. And truthfully, he’s fantasized about being that person. Confident and assertive. ]
You should be very worried about how often I think of you, and in what compromising positions.
[ that is not a lie ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-13 12:52 am (UTC)Oh, I am not worried about that at all, Professor. In fact, I’m looking forward to you showing me each and every one of them.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-24 12:42 am (UTC)Instead, he focuses on on the light stroke against his shaft. his breath rattling. It feels so much better than he remembers. ]
Then you're planning to be a good boy for awhile longer, are you?
[ God his voice almost cracks, heat in his face nothing sexy. He's waiting for Sylvain to laugh, or groan -- and not because this feels good. He's glad Sylvain isn't looking at his face. He presses his lips together, trying to steady himself. ]
On your knees.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-24 01:18 am (UTC)If I say no, are you gonna punish me?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-24 01:35 am (UTC)Terrifying, because it's clear Sylvain wants him to say yes. ]
I'm not giving you what you want that easily.
[ He hopes he sounds assertive and not desperate. He comes around to Sylvain's front, the cool air brushing against his heated length, the other's wrists still bound behind him. ]
Warm me up on your mouth.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-24 01:54 am (UTC)[ But he can see Basch's expression more clearly now, can see the tension in the lines of his body.
It has his own teasing melting away as he gives his Professor a reassuring look. ]
Professor. If you're not comfortable, we don't have to do this. That sort of ruins the point of you enjoying yourself here. We can do something else if you'd rather?
no subject
Date: 2025-01-24 02:09 am (UTC)He slides a hand into Sylvain's hair, tightening his grip when he realizes that may be too intimate. ]
I am very sure I enjoy your mouth on my cock.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-24 02:32 am (UTC)I have been told I've a clever tongue, after all. I'm pretty sure you were even one of the ones to comment on it in the past. If not quite in this setting.
[ Hoping to tease him a little bit back into enjoying this again, he leans forward and deliberately slides that clever tongue of his up the entire length of the man's cock, taking his time in tasting every inch, until he reaches the tip. Where he shifts to swirl his tongue around the head instead, before sucking it slowly into his mouth.
His intent gaze never leaves Basch's face. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-30 01:25 am (UTC)Perhaps if you are good today, I will compliment it in this setting too. I know you like to please me.
[ Was that too far, he wonders as soon as it's out of his mouth. He wants to be confident. Wants to give the other a pleasant sense of authority, a place to just indulge and know he'll be caught.
Was this an odd fantasy?
The warm, wet sensation of Sylvain's tongue against him shorts out his overactive mind. He gasps in a breath, hands tightening instinctually in the other's hair. When he manages to open his eyes, they lock onto Sylvain's, and something about seeing his intensity with Basch's cock against his tongue makes the professor nearly stagger. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-30 09:41 pm (UTC)But at least his tongue seems to be the perfect diversion. Something he's definitely going to take advantage of, as he takes his time to explore the man's cock with his lips and tongue. Laving affection along every inch of him as he explores him - not sucking him into wet heat, not yet. Instead, he focuses on the length of him, the sensitive head, down to the base of him, where he focuses equal attention on his balls, and then back up along the pulsing vein along the length of him.
And his eyes never leave the Professor's face. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-31 04:11 am (UTC)And he relaxes, finally. ]
You are… very thorough when you’re motivated.
no subject
Date: 2025-01-31 04:29 am (UTC)he takes his time, movements deliberate. But he doesn't miss how Basch is finally relaxing. And that moan? Is like music to his ears. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-01-31 09:58 pm (UTC)I…want to fuck your mouth [ he whispers, reverent and ginger. Flaming red but keeping his cool all in all ] I’ve thought about it. Often.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-02 08:36 pm (UTC)He pulls off enough to swirl his tongue around the tip once more before smirking up at Basch, a hint of a challenge in his eyes as he stares up to dare the man. ]
No one’s stopping you.
no subject
Date: 2025-02-02 10:23 pm (UTC)I should be stopping me. Make me…make me forget to.
[ He fears it’s cowardice, wanting to lose control and forget to be responsible. But it’s deference to. If he puts this in Sylvain’s hands — or mouth — the other has control. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-03 02:45 am (UTC)[ His voice is low and husky and full of unrestrained hunger. He flashes Basch a brief smirk...
... before taking Basch back into his mouth once more. And then sinking down to take him to the hilt, feeling him sprod at the back of his throat as Sylvain sucked him deep. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-04 01:25 pm (UTC)Did you...know I would be fantasizing about this, after I had to work so hard not to move or react?
[ he's breathless, one hand staying in Sylvain's hair and the other moving to brace on his shoulder. Already his hips twitch, but he takes charge of his body now, purposely testing arching back just an inch and sliding back into that unbelievable wet heat.
Fuck if there's a hell, he's going to it for this afternoon alone. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-11 12:58 am (UTC)His tongue slides along the thick vein along the underside in coaxing invitation and he greets that shallow rock by purposefully relaxing his jaw. His eyes dart up to Basch's face, waiting for him to take what he wants. To fuck deep into Sylvain's mouth, pushing past into his throat. Filling him with every inch he can manage to take. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-12 07:35 pm (UTC)And that tongue says he's very interested.
Shifting his stance and his grip on Sylvain's hair, he experimentally rocks a little deeper against the other. His senses are hyper sharp, watching for any sign of discomfort. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-12 07:38 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2025-02-12 07:52 pm (UTC)He's been here before, but it's different being the one driving the depth. He struggles to keep his hips from twitching, body wanting to chase this fantasy. ]
Pat my leg and I'll stop, no questions asked.
no subject
Date: 2025-03-26 09:09 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2025-03-26 11:52 pm (UTC)But that's the danger, isn't it? That he can't know what was too much until he hits it. And while he doesn't want to put Sylvain in any remote space of discomfort or exploitation, the more the other works his mouth, the harder it is not to let his body lead.
Basch's hands reposition in the other's hair, hand steady on the other's shoulder. He takes a rattling breath and shifts, carefully drawing out and back into the other's mouth. His rattling moan betrays how much he likes this, and he doesn't wait nearly as long as he means before puling back and back in a again. His ears strain for any discomfort, but the beast of want stirring inside him is quickly gaining control. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-03-27 02:33 am (UTC)His jaw relaxes, letting himself be used by the man who now has fingers threaded through his unruly hair. His eyes flit back to Basch's face once more, locked on his expression, his own one of eager hunger. Complete willingness to be used however the Professor wants right now. ]

Date: 2025-03-27 03:34 am (UTC)[ It's a growl, his grip tightening, and it's clear from the hunger in his own face that he's not truly complaining. Gods help him, he's really going to do this. Unless Sylvain stops him, he's absolutely crossed a line he won't come back from.
Widening his stance slightly, he holds Sylvain steady, a few more quickening thrusts to test and then...he's fucking him in earnest, wildly aware the door is unlocked, trying to keep his groans to a minimum and failing. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-03-27 03:40 am (UTC)Especially when it gets him exactly what he wants.
Lips part a little wider, tongue sliding along the underside of his Professor’s cock, he lets the man’s hand control his movements, happy to just accept, even if he’s still far from passive about this. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-03-27 03:56 am (UTC)It becomes a dance between them now. Basch may be leading but it takes them both. He moans as he gets lost in that wet heat, that clever mouth, giving in to look at that debauched look of need. ]
You weren’t supposed to be this beautiful [ he breathes. ] And sharp and clever.

Date: 2025-03-29 03:04 am (UTC)I am going to fuck you so well we're both dizzy [ he growls, giving way to a much more demanding pace.
And now that he has a captive audience -- ]
You are terribly clever, and observant, and intelligent, and have an excellent head for command. You're good with your weapons, and with the horses, and with your peers, even though you pretend not to be. You are...a stunningly gifted man, Sylvain. [ he's panting through it, heat blossoming in his gut, climax already threatening. Of course he's attracted to this fiery-haired menace. He hasn't known anyone this bold or vivid or sharp since his own youth. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-03-29 04:28 am (UTC)And now that it's out there, floating between them, has no idea what to do with it now. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-03-29 04:44 am (UTC)Had to have that tongue occupied so you couldn’t protest. I thought all that before you decided to seduce me.
[ And as poor as he could be at reading others, he thinks he’s read this right. That Sylvain needed him to be some kind of authority, as much as he needed Basch to be absolutely no threat.
He moves his hand back into that red hair, grip tighter. ]
I won’t be long now.
[ And he isn’t. It doesn’t take more than getting back to speed before he’s stifling a cry, hands tightening as heat rockets through him. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-03-30 06:53 pm (UTC)He does his best to shove down his visible discomfort with the praise, with being so seen, even if that was half of what had drawn him to Basch in the first place. That didn't make it feel any less uneasy on him. Like someone else's coat that didn't quite fit.
But his Professor luckily gave him something else to focus on, the return of those fingers gripping his hair, the increase of his thrusts once more. The way he thickens even more against Sylvain's tongue. And he leans in greedily, working him with lips and tongue as he coaxes him over that edge. And then swallows every drop of him with a pleased sounding moan. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-03-30 07:14 pm (UTC)Even if he hates himself for how hard it makes him come. He has to steady himself against Sylvain’s shoulders, passing as he waits for the weak knees and dizziness to pass. He strokes Sylvain’s sweet damp hair back from his face while the other is still too full for words of protest. ]
Was that an appropriate reward for upholding your end our wager? I rather feel like I got the longer end of the stick.
no subject
Date: 2025-03-30 07:31 pm (UTC)I happen to like your long stick, Professor. I'm hardly complaining.
[ That was truly terrible. Can you get drunk on cum? ]
no subject
Date: 2025-03-30 10:57 pm (UTC)So is the fact that the other is absolutely dazed. ]
And my other question? Are you satisfied? Or shall we do something else?
no subject
Date: 2025-03-31 12:13 am (UTC)I dunno, Professor. How many rewards do you think I’ve earned?
no subject
Date: 2025-03-31 01:02 am (UTC)Was my praise not clear? I think you deserve to be forced to bask in your accomplishments. It does not matter to me if you choose the reward or I do.
no subject
Date: 2025-03-31 01:25 am (UTC)But he tries to keep his smirk unwavering as he coyly drops his gaze for a moment. ]
And what reward would you choose? Sir?
no subject
Date: 2025-03-31 03:36 am (UTC)Well, seeing as there will be a delay before I can fuck you like the first time--
[ He strokes his thumb over Sylvain's jaw, pretending to think. These were ideas he'd had before, though. Many nights thinking over this. ]
I was thinking about putting you in my lap and stroking you til you come, but I could also put you on my desk and return the service of my mouth.
no subject
Date: 2025-03-31 03:47 am (UTC)What if that makes a mess of your desk, Professor? Or are you hoping for more pleasant memories to think of when you’re stuck here grading papers and bored out of your mind?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-03 03:22 am (UTC)[ He watches Sylvain's face, looking for a hint of want. ]
I will already be significantly more distracted in this space. So -- what reward will you have?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-03 03:28 am (UTC)Do you want to put your mouth on me, Professor?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-04 03:10 am (UTC)He's far enough gone today, though, that he's at least being assertive about it, still cupping Sylvain's face as they negotiate the next step. ]
I want to hear you make those helpless noises, and I want to see your face break with pleasure. Will my mouth achieve that?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-04 03:24 am (UTC)I dunno, Professor. We can try it and find out.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-06 03:02 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2025-04-06 03:23 am (UTC)[ Even he hadn’t really believed he’d ever get his Professor to bend this far. To ever take his flirtations and invitations seriously. And yet, here they are. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-04-07 03:14 am (UTC)He shouldn't have gotten Basch to bend this far, but now that he had...gods Basch could not think about it.
He gets the other man's pants open, palming his cock with a rough hand as the other digs into his thigh. ]
Should I tease you slowly, or make you weak with how quickly I can get you to finish?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-07 03:33 am (UTC)Wow you have such little faith in my stamina, Professor. What if I make you work for it either way?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-08 12:35 am (UTC)You will behave for me.
[ It's not a question. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-04-09 03:35 pm (UTC)Yes, sir.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-10 02:08 am (UTC)He runs his hand slowly up the other's cock, pressure teasing. He leans in, lips tight against Sylvain's neck before her says, low and stern ] Tell me how you did on your paper.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-25 02:22 pm (UTC)I… what?
no subject
Date: 2025-04-28 01:37 am (UTC)I only want to reward excellent work. Tell me that you earned this.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-28 01:55 am (UTC)He flushes and there’s the faintest jerk of his head, as if in instinctive reaction to try and pull away from the man’s grip. Although he aborts it the moment he realizes, because he doesn’t actually want to pull away from Basch. He just balks sharply at that command.
He doesn’t like lying to people who mean something to him. ]
I…
no subject
Date: 2025-04-28 02:14 am (UTC)The grip on his chin turns to a caress, hand gentle as it cups his face. ]
You are remarkable, or I wouldn't have crumbled for you. Your opinion on the matter does not change the fact of it.
[ Perhaps he himself was worthless, but if his opinion meant something to Sylvain, then it mattered. ]
You deserve this reward.
[ He deserved...so much more. But this was what he was willing to take, and so it was where they would begin.
Basch's hand tightens, his hand working Sylvain's shaft, seeking out the place where the other's lids fluttered or a moan escaped him, where his head would turn off. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-04-28 02:25 am (UTC)Fortunately, Basch changes tactics yet again and Sylvain is all too happy to let him, to sink back into the heat of that tight grip as he gives a soft, choked gasp as his head falls back, throat working around a swallowed moan. His fingers clutch at Basch’s shoulders as he bucks into that stroke, shivering at the sensation of it, just the perfect amount of roughness to start distracting him all over again. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-04-28 02:41 am (UTC)He leans in, his hand turning so his knuckles can gently glide down the other's neck. His lips are nearly on Sylvain's ear. ]
Good boy.
[ a pause, to gage the reaction, and then ] You are so pretty for me.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-28 02:56 am (UTC)There’s no hiding the flush the soft words of praise earn, or the way he shivers and presses closer. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-04-29 01:28 am (UTC)You're clever for me too, hmm? You'll do your best for me, and I'll keep your secrets.
[ The hiss is...endearing. Basch keeps his pace, not offering more, but aware the effect he's having. He tries to ignore how much he likes the other pressing into him. He still has to be aware of his role here, of the higher authority -- and responsibility -- he has. ]
And reward you for being so good.
no subject
Date: 2025-04-29 01:51 am (UTC)If that's what you want. Sir.
no subject
Date: 2025-05-01 11:42 pm (UTC)Basch braces a sturdy arm around him, pulling his shoulders close even as he speeds his hand, all but purring in the other's ear. ]
I want you sated and glowing. I want you so pleased and dazed that when I tell you how perfect you are, you forget to argue with me.
[ He holds Sylvain hard, biting his hear then his neck, taking him roughly with his hand. He isn't letting up until he gets what he wants. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-05-02 12:48 am (UTC)His hips move instinctively now, rocking into that touch, grinding against Basch’s thigh as he chases that heated friction, the pleasure of Basch’s touch. It’s perfect, just the right side of too much, and his Professor is absolutely going to get what he wants if he keeps going like that.
He whimpers, pleasure building fast and he teeters right on that edge as he clings to Basch’s shoulders, struggling to make it last… ]
no subject
Date: 2025-05-02 03:26 am (UTC)[ Voice low, caution forgotten, he knows exactly what he's doing. This is what gives him the real high: Sylvain reaching toward him for more, even as he surrenders to trust. It's foolish of the other man, but Basch won't take it lightly.
He doesn't let up, doesn't give Sylvain a chance to savor. He holds the other tighter, angling his thigh and working him hard. ]
You're absolutely perfect.
no subject
Date: 2025-05-02 10:33 pm (UTC)[ The words are all but gasped out around a husky groan as he rocks into that touch, aching for more. So very fucking close he can almost taste it. He means the first part, of course. The perfection part he knows is ridiculous, although he can concede that Basch might find it true. For now, anyway.
But that’s too complicated a thought to dwell on right now, not when his body is all but humming with pleasure, each rough stroke of Basch’s hand driving him closer and closer to that edge. One that he finally tips over with a hoarse cry as he arches into the press of the man’s body pinning him in place, spilling messily over his fingers as he clings to him and gasps for air. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-05-06 12:05 am (UTC)[ He punctuates it with pushing the other over at last, his own moan low and breathless before he presses their mouths together, swallowing both their sounds. He pulls Sylvain through with his hand, the other arm pulling him close, basking in the way the other shudders and clings. ]
I love seeing you like this. How could I possibly be done with you?
no subject
Date: 2025-05-06 12:24 am (UTC)An unpleasant topic he’s not going to touch on. He knows exactly how easy it is to be done with him, and how quickly that can change.
But instead he just groans and buries his face against Basch’s throat, still clinging to him as he shudders his way through an intense few waves in the aftermath of pleasure. ]
Fuck…
no subject
Date: 2025-05-06 12:53 am (UTC)Instead he chuckles as Sylvain clings to him, enjoying how intense this was. ] Did I do alright? Do you want me to take you again?
[ He leans in close, cradling the other, his hand scooping down to caress the other's sack, lips nearly on his ear. ] This is always your choice. You say the word and it's yours. You say the word and it stops. Always. That's a promise, too.
no subject
Date: 2025-05-06 01:16 am (UTC)[ For as long as he can have him. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-05-06 01:31 am (UTC)Good. I want this too.
[ He pulls back only far enough to kiss the other, squeezing his thigh. ] Get dressed. We shouldn't linger here.
[ Basch had had clandestine affairs...in offices before. Just...not as the person of higher power ]
no subject
Date: 2025-05-06 01:39 am (UTC)But Sylvain just makes a quiet sound of protest before pulling away and tugging his uniform back into place. Fortunately, he typically looks a little unkempt at any given moment, his shirt always untucked and slightly unbuttoned at the top, his tie loose. No one will notice a difference now, despite what they'd been doing in here. ]
Yes, sir.
no subject
Date: 2025-05-09 02:07 am (UTC)[ He's teasing, yes, but there's no meanness to it, only amusement as he briefly cups Sylvain's neck, thumb stroking his face. Then he's settling himself and the things they knocked over.
And then he turns back, unannounced, and seizes Sylvain's face, kissing the other hard. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-05-09 02:28 am (UTC)Taking that as the not-so-subtle dismissal he thinks it is, he ignores the quiet pang he feels because uh-oh, nuh-uh, that’s dangerous, that’s not allowed, he should definitely go now.
And is just about to turn for the door and slink back out now that Basch is done with him - would this count as a walk of shame? It wasn’t even a morning after - but he doesn't even get that far before Basch is grabbing him again. Hard.
He makes a muffled sound of surprise as his Professor’s mouth claims his with a harsh possessiveness that makes his stomach flip in way he doesn't want to think about too hard. But that surprise melts into a breathy moan as he clings to the man’s broad shoulders and leans into that kiss, hungry for it with a depth that surprises even him. ]
a wintertime gift.
Date: 2025-01-16 10:38 pm (UTC)laid inside is handsome suede jacket that is lined with very warm material, built with a high collar and folded cuffs. there are signs that it is handmade with care, from the measurements carefully made to fit basch's particular frame itself. the lining is quilted in a deep blue fabric and very soft. in among the blue lining there are small embroidery animals done here and there, almost like they're meant to be discovered by chance. some are hidden under the cuffs (a few rabbits cuddling), some circling the inner neckline in soft thread (some song birds in flight together).
when zipped up, the jacket itself is comfortable, and with a good weight to it, meant to act like an embrace, perhaps.
(after giving this to him, he'd like to offer to take him to dinner, a date - no snowstorms, no weird cabins, no forced advertisements shoving them together. while maybe the cabin hadn't been all that bad, getting to relax, truly for once with warm dinner and some company, is something he'd like to give to him so yes the date is a present too.) ]
Re: a wintertime gift.
Date: 2025-01-21 04:44 pm (UTC)And he'll send a package back, in a hand-carved wooden box with a large cat motif on it. Inside is a velvety drawstring bag full of hand-carved wooden buttons in various designs -- flowers, squares, textured circles, tear drops.
A handwritten card in a steady if not very flowery hand says For your beautiful projects, however you see fit. I sincerely look forward to our quiet dinner. ]
suuuper backdated to 12/25
Date: 2025-02-07 03:30 am (UTC)When he opens it he'll find a burnished metal cuff nestled in a velvet. At a glance it looks like a smooth surface but upon closer inspection he'll discover subtle waves on it akin to waves.
A short note accompanies the gift. ]
I'm told people deliver gifts to people they care about over the holidays. Happy holidays, Basch. I hope it's filled with all the warmth that you deserve.
- Hilda
Action @ the Red Cardinal
Date: 2025-02-10 01:02 pm (UTC)To support that need for privacy, Kaveh's dress is a little lower-key than normal, a white shirt and black slacks with a matching cap pulled down over his bangs. He's tucked into a booth with a red wine in hand, sipping from it while he waits for Basch to arrive. (Slow sips. He's not here to get drunk tonight.)
When he does see the other man, he smiles, raises his hand in greeting as he waits for him to make it across to the booth he's occupied for them. ]
Hey, [ he says, and he stands up to press a warm kiss to the other's cheek. ] I'm glad you could come.
Re: Action @ the Red Cardinal
Date: 2025-02-12 02:18 pm (UTC)Surprised again at the sweet warmth of the greeting. It's not customary where he's from, but it feels natural with Kaveh. ]
Of course [ Basch agrees, settling into his side of the table. ] In all honesty, I could use this too, so thank you for agreeing. [ He thankfully doesn't feel awkward or like he has to address their less than wonderful text exchange. They're both here. That was the whole point. ]
no subject
Date: 2025-02-16 01:40 pm (UTC)Once they're settled, he smiles, shakes his head in response to the gratitude that the other offers. ]
You don't have to thank me. You're doing me a favor, remember?
[ He reaches for one of the menus, holding it out to the other. Like Basch, he doesn't feel the need to revisit their text discussion—unfortunately, though, the events of the day are first and foremost in his mind, leaving him struggling to think of anything else to talk about, despite having any number of topics at hand. So... food. A good beginning. ]
Are you hungry? It's on me tonight. What do you like to eat, Basch?
no subject
Date: 2025-02-19 03:26 am (UTC)Restaurants weren't something he entirely felt comfortable with when he arrived here, but now they are a pleasant part of his life, all the more with a friend. His palette has expanded -- and honestly, recovered. He takes the menu, it not escaping his attention that whoever pays, this meal is essentially paid for with sex. Which -- they have not had. He's not sure if that makes this sweeter or stranger. Not that he minds. ]
Between war and prison, I got used to not being picky about food. It's been wonderful to change it here [ he adds, not meaning to bring the mood down ] but I quite enjoy trying things others like, as there are simply too many things for me try on my own.
That said, I like savory dishes, and with the cold, anything hearty.
no subject
Date: 2025-03-08 10:26 am (UTC)Yeah. Okay. I can concede that. [ It can, after all, be something that's useful to the both of their moods. Unlike Basch, he's not really thinking about how the meal has been paid for; after all, he gained a large amount of capital in his early months here just by having a boyfriend. Being here is so far away from being at home, where he has to check on his finances what feels like every few minutes... here, they hardly concern him at all.
What the other says next surprises him, though; he pauses in looking through the menu to glance up at Basch instead, a curious tilt of his head in the soldier's direction. ]
You've been in prison? [ he asks. They've talked about war, of course—but they've never talked about his being imprisoned...
He has a recommendation for something hearty, but it feels like the wrong time to offer it just now. ]
