i'm swimming in a mirror;

[ tighnari plans most things in his life vary carefully, and his heat is no exception.

past years he has dealt with it alone, but past years he has also lived quite far from civilization, so the all-consuming desire to seek out a mate was easily quelled by the fact that there was simply no one suitable within a reasonable distance. it was maddeningly frustrating, but it worked. since moving to the city, however.. things have been more difficult. the first two years he'd managed to control himself, but as he ages his heats grow in strength and intensity, and the year previous he'd very nearly done something he knows he would have regretted - it started via a text, progressed to phone sex, and ended with tighnari at the foot of a stranger's door, so eager and hungry that he'd been prepared to throw himself at some nameless, faceless body he'd found on the internet in order to slake his impossible thirst. thankfully, once they'd answered the door, he'd gotten ahold of himself and declined, but it was a very narrow thing. casual sex simply isn't something that tighnari does. not with strangers.

which is exactly why he has a different plan, this year. he'd considered taking a vacation to somewhere distant again, to tough it out alone, but unfortunately that's simply not financially feasible at this juncture, so he'd had to give up on that idea. the next best thing, he'd thought, would be to simply.. find someone he trusts enough to spend his heat with, someone he knows well enough to admit his needs to, but not so well that it'd potentially ruin a long-standing relationship. collei was out of the question, she's always felt more like a sister to him. he'd considered cyno for awhile, but they've been so close for so long that tighnari couldn't bring himself to risk their relationship for something so fleeting. everyone else that he knows is a colleague, and that's entirely out of the question, he'd never be able to show his face in the akademiya again.

but aki.. aki fit the bill perfectly. he's certainly good looking. they don't work together, they're not as intimately close as he is with cyno, but close enough that tighnari trusts him, that he thinks that aki won't find it particularly weird or off-putting. this is a biological imperative, after all, it's not something that tighnari can control. even still, he'd been incredibly nervous to extend the offer.. having prepared for the worst, but finding himself instead surprised by the acceptance.

after that, all that was left was to take paid leave from work, and preparation. he'd spent two days cleaning his apartment and tending to his plants, as well as stocking up on plenty of snacks and sports drinks, fruits and granola bars and things that are easy to grab, that also provide good energy. he's premade his meals for the week and stocked them in the freezer, finished all of his laundry, and rearranged the living space, pushing the furniture toward the walls to build a comfortable nest of cushions and blankets in the middle of the room. finally, the night before he'd taken a long, luxurious bath to calm his nerves, and gone to sleep.

when he wakes, it's late into the night, moonlight streaming through the gauzy curtains pulled before the common room windows, and across the glass doors. he's hot all over, deeply uncomfortable, and so slick between the thighs that he's dampened his boxer briefs and sleeping shorts both. tighnari groans, rubbing both hands over his face. it's too early. aki isn't here yet, he's probably still asleep, but tighnari's body is positively aching all over, deep frustration setting into his bones. his scent is thick and cloying, sweet like honey and crisp like morning dew, and it permeates the space, making him dizzy. he thrusts a hand down the front of his shorts, rubbing his clit and fucking himself hard on his fingers, but it isn't enough, gods, it isn't enough. two unfulfilling orgasms later he's rolling onto his side and grabbing for his phone, typing out a hasty text, deleting it, typing it again. ]

Are you awake? Started early. Please.

[ they've not even moved out of the small hallway by the door, and already tighnari feels as if he's falling apart. aki's hand slides smoothly up his back, and tighnari groans against his mouth, even the lightest touch enough to make his pulse skyrocket. heat throbs between his legs.

it should be surprising, just how easy it is to fall into this, but that's a line of thought that tighnari will address and unpack at a later time. for now, he's content with simple want, his fox-mind pleased by aki's willingness and warmth, by his familiar scent and his strong arms. he's fierce, and kind, determined, wild, gentle, feral - a fine partner, a fine mate, strong, good. ]

So do you..

[ he whispers, between wet, deep kisses, his heart pounding against his ribs, as hard and unforgiving as a fist. tighnari's tail lashes, and the arch of aki's hips is enough to drive him wild, heat burgeoning in his belly, electric desire sharp as a knife slipped beneath his skin. tighnari's hands rove, pressing up beneath the hem of aki's shirt, palming greedily over his abdomen and higher, fabric gathering at his wrists. aki's skin feels hot as the sun beneath the thickened pads of tighnari's fingers, and surprisingly soft between the hard lines of scars. tighnari's stomach clenches, for a moment, with distant fear.

he's unworthy, always getting himself into trouble, always putting himself in harm's way, always broken, bleeding, damaged. he'll die bloody and dismembered someday and leave tighnari with an aching, raw hole in his heart -

those thoughts, he quickly pushes away. instead tighnari grinds his entire body forward, a needy grunt caught in his throat. pressing forward, tighnari's weight sags against him, his soft thighs parting over one of aki's, rocking forward, the friction against his sensitive cunt - even though his boxer briefs - enough to make him shiver and moan, nails raking over warm skin. he can feel the shape of aki's cock against the hollow of his hip, and it's enough to make him feral, both hands dropping to paw urgently at aki's waistband. ]

[ Things are moving quickly, far quicker than Aki might be used to, but Tighnari warned him about this, too, and instead of worrying about not being ready, he follows his gut instinct, leaning into how good it feels to be wanted this badly, to be pulled fully into Tighnari's orbit when they've done little more than touch or kiss. Thinking is the last thing he wants to right now, really, when Tighnari feels so good, so warm against him, his hands roaming, seeking, pulling. Aki sighs softly to his mouth, before breaking away just long enough to snag the hem of his shirt that Tighnari has pushed up and pull it off over his head.

It should feel overwhelming, and it is, but it isn't at the same time. Maybe it was the time to mentally prepare himself for this that helped, or maybe it just that he severely needed this too, in his own way. His need comes from a very different spot than Tighnari's, but he is no less willing to lean into it, to fall into line with the feverish pace they are moving at.

A gasp passes his lips when Tighnari grinds against his thigh, the shape of him oh so easy to feel between the thin fabric of his pants. His stomach tightens with easy want, fingernails pulling hard at the skin of Tighnari's bare back before one slips forward between them, gliding over Tighnari's hand and urging his fingers beneath the waistband of his pants.

Again, it should feel like too much, too soon, but it doesn't.

He gives another encouraging roll of his hips, his mouth dragging over the crest of Tighnari's soft, warm cheek. ]

Please.

[ tighnari can feel it, too - aki's want, his need, how much his body requires this in a way perhaps very different from tighnari, but all the same. while it's the sheer force of hormones that drives tighnari, aki simply craves the touch, the desperate need to unwind. tighnari knows what he goes through. what he is. he might not know the confidential details, but he knows what aki does for work, knows how incredibly dangerous devil hunting can be. the evidence is writ clearly on his skin.

if only he knew how relieved tighnari is to see him every time they cross paths, living in constant fear that his friend will one day disappear, and that will be that. why does tighnari continue to attach himself to these sorts of people..?

that's a worry far in the back of his mind, however, especially once aki is guiding his hand down into the heat of his pants. tighnari doesn't hesitate, but thrusts his hand deep into aki's undershorts, palming the shape of his cock, feeling it fill out against his palm. he groans, squeezing, his hips twitching forward, already imagining what it will feel like to be fucked deep and hard and good. turning his face against aki's throat, tighnari nudges against his scent, inhaling deeply, opening his mouth over aki's pulse while his fingers curl around his cock, pulling in hard, deep strokes. ]

Need you. Please..

[ No matter how quickly things are moving, it still feels like Tighnari's hands can't be on him soon enough, and when they are - a sigh shakes looks of him, and Aki must brace his weight on the door behind him to keep himself and Tighnari upright. God, when was the last time someone else touched him like this? With such hunger, such need? He can't remember. He doesn't want to remember.

He only wants to think about Tighnari's hands, about the thick pads on his fingers, that rub him so well, drawing forth his pleasure, hardening him up. He groans towards one of Tighnari's laid-back ears, inhaling the sweet scent of his hair, floral and earthy and familiar. Warm, soft things are scarce in his life; better that he hold to them while he can, embrace them fully, allow them to keep him from getting too cold, too sharp. That's what Himeno wanted for him. He can't lose that part of himself.

Tighnari tells him he needs him, and the last thing he wants to do is keep him waiting any longer. Ultimately, this is about satisfying his need; any pleasure Aki can derive from it is just a bonus, and he is already ready enough himself.

The bedroom seems way too far at this point. Biting his lower lip, precome beads at the tip of his cock, hungry and eager. Tighnari needs him so badly - who is he to deny him his pleasure? No, not pleasure - his natural need?

Who is he to deny either of them?

Instead of urging Tighnari towards the couch, or pulling him down onto the floor, Aki instead gathers Tighnari up in his arms, urging his knees to cling around his waist, before switching their positions, pressing Tighnari's back to the door with a thud.

Hastily, he tugs down Tighnari's boxer briefs just enough, his cock still hot as hell between them, straining, brushing his clit, his cunt. His breath catches, his abdomen clenching. ]

Hold onto me.

[ He will need his hands to support Tighnari's backside, and guide his cock against his pussy. He's so wet, dripping, his scent filling the air, and Aki is rolling his hips up without a second thought, the way made so easy. ]

[ aki feels so good in his hand, hot and heavy and silky smooth, his tip slick with precome already. tighnari wants to be filled with him, he wants to feel him in his mouth, against his tongue, fucking hard and hot into his cunt - he needs it all. thankfully, aki is so perfectly willing to give it.

before he knows it, tighnari's back is pressed to the door, he's being hauled up, his underclothes tugged down his thighs. gods, he's ready, he's so ready. immediately, tighnari's thighs snap tightly around aki's waist for leverage, the heels of his feet pressed into the small of his back, arms tight around his shoulders, and the moment aki's cock brushes his core he pulses, whining, desperate, starving. he's burning all over, the pressure is too much.

and then he's there at last, rolling his hips upward, his cock gliding into tighnari's body without hesitation, and certainly without resistance. the moan that ripples up and out of his mouth is shamelessly wanton, thick with a deep, primal satisfaction, his cunt clenching tight as a fist around the length of aki's cock. ]

Fuck -

[ it's not like tighnari to be crass, but his heat-addled mind is spinning, greedy and filthy, wanting like he's never wanted before. tighnari's hands scrabble against aki's bare back, claws sinking against warm skin. ]

Don't stop, don't, oh Gods, you're perfect -

[ arching away from the door, tighnari thrusts his hips downward as best as he can manage in this position, eager to feel every inch of him buried deep, his tail thumping against the door. ]

[ In the back of his mind, he recognizes that he's never seen Tighnari like this, either. But of course he hasn't - the haven't known each other long enough that Aki was around last time he got his heat, and even if he were, they certainly weren't close enough for him to know about it. As primal as it is, it feels like a privilege, too, to see this side of his friend. To be invited to be a part of it.

Because no sooner has he slid deep inside of Tighnari than does pleasure erupt through him, almost painful in how exquisite it is, to be fully hilted inside someone that wants him this bad. It doesn't matter that they're still in the entry way, that they are likely very easy to hear from the other side of the door. It doesn't matter it's only been a matter of minutes since Tighnari even texted him. All that matters is the two of them and this door that supports their weight. There is nothing else.

Tighnari asks him not to stop, and so he won't. Groaning deep in his chest, he twitches his hips up again, grasping Tighnari by the hips to more fully press him back against the door and sink into him, deep from the aid of gravity, and quickly from how eager they both are. Normally, he enjoys more foreplay than they had time to get to, but matters were too pressing for that. Maybe later - but now...

Now all he can think about is fucking Tighnari, hard and deep and fast, his breath rushing, sweat prickling on his skin, but unwilling to slow down for anything, chasing the heat and pleasure that grips them both like a vise. ]

[ aki might be being gentle, but he's so strong that it doesn't matter, his hands on tighnari's hips grasping so tightly, pressing him hard back against the door, filling him up so deep that tighnari is seeing stars. he's a good fit, his cock stretching him open so delightfully, tighnari's cunt clinging to him, clenching, hot and greedy. it feels so good, it scratches a deep, primal itch that writhes deep within him, one that his fingers alone certainly could not satisfy.

one hand slides up into aki's hair, taking it down from its band so he can sink his fingers deeply into it, while the other continues to grab at his back, drawing hot scratches along the backs of his shoulders. ]

Yes, deeper, just like that..

[ tighnari's voice is low and throaty, and he seems happily vocal, eager to share his pleasure, to croon and purr and let his partner know how well he's doing, how satisfying he is, but also quite willing to give orders, to say what he wants - ]

Harder -

[ no doubt they can in fact easily be heard through the door, but it's late, he can only hope no one is wandering down the hallway at this hour, but he also can't bring himself to care. he's in heat. everything is narrowed down to this, nothing else matters beyond aki's scent, his hands, his cock thrusting deep. lowering his head, tighnari nudges their faces together, licking at aki's lips for admittance, pushing past them and into his mouth again, tongue curling against the roof of his mouth. he breathes every soft groan and low moan into aki's mouth, and inhales his own, his hips jerking downward, his clit grinding against aki's belly, the pleasure beginning to build so sweetly in his gut, tight and gratifying. ]

Yes, sir.

[ There's something almost teasing in the way Aki responds, between his heated, labored breaths, and in the back of his mind, he can't help but be amused. Tighnari has always been sure of himself, clear in what he wants and how he wants it, and this is no different. Aki can often be that way himself, and he hadn't really considered how that dynamic might translate when he agreed to help Tighnari with his heat. Part of him wants to bite back make me, but for now, Tighnari is in control, calling the shots, and Aki falls into line, hips snapping him more forcefully than before.

If he doesn't want gentleness, that he can provide, too.

The heat of Tighnari's mouth spills into his own, and Aki drinks it up - his kiss, his tongue, his breath. He swallows it all, as his fingernails press painfully hard into Tighnari's hips, rooting him in place so Aki can fuck him with abandon. He feels incredible, their bodies snapping wetly together with each thrust of his cock, precome dripping down his thighs, saliva from their mouths - it's filthy. Good.

Not only does he fuck him harder, but he moves faster, too, chasing that sweet, sweet pleasure, blissful and uncomplicated and visceral, making him feel more alive than anything else - more like living for himself. ]

[ tighnari likes it, that little tease, and were he a little more aware of himself he might tease right back, but his head is spinning with pleasure and need, and he can't find the words.

it isn't long before he's entirely lost in it, his body tightening up, overwhelmed in the best ways. aki fucks him perfectly, just as he wants to be, hard and quick and deep, and tighnari feels like he's coming apart at the seams, the heat and pressure between his thighs so strong it threatens to split him in half. his thighs snap more tightly still around aki's waist, heels pressing hard into his back as he bears downward, holding still to better feel the slide of aki's cock into his body. ]

I'm close..

[ he whispers into his partner's mouth, urgent and thin, his voice gone rough and husky. this was a good idea. this was such a good idea, it's so much better than handling this on his own, with unfulfilling fingers and toys - another body is what he wants, what he needs, and aki is so perfect. he's happy to do as tighnari likes, to fulfill his requests - his demands - a good mate, an attentive mate, smelling good despite the acrid scent of smoke, tasting even better.

the door creaks beneath their weight, and tighnari sighs into his lover's mouth, his ears pressing back hard as his pleasure begins to crest. ]

I'm coming, I'm coming - oh, Gods..

[ it hits him like a fist to the gut, tighnari's cunt clenching hard, squeezing as he cries out, arching, clinging, gasping. rocked by bliss, his vision whites out, his hands scrambling, scraping, claws digging deep ruts between aki's shoulderblades. ]

[ The moments that have passed since he stepped through the door have been a blur. It can't have been more than a handful of minutes, can it? Yet here they are, fucking hard and deep, well into it now, Tighnari reaching his climax, with Aki not far behind. He absolutely needed this, and continues to need it. He needed a quick, hard fuck, to let off steam, release stress in one needy, fell swoop, but it isn't all he needs, either.

In the back of his mind, he knew that when he agreed to this. He needs touch, sweet, tender touch, warm, soft kisses, warm skin and a beating heart against his, to remind him what it is to be alive, what there is beyond his mission of revenge, and how beautiful it is.

Tighnari comes hard and tight around his cock, pulling and grasping the length of him tight, and while Aki is not quite at the peak himself yet, this pushes him a considerable ways closer, Tighnari's mouth and hands and body all working in harmonic tandem to draw him into the thick of it. God, but he feels incredible, hot and slick and tight, the welts against his shoulders only spurring him on, grounding him.

One palm presses flat against the door, while the other arm remains clamped around Tighnari's waist, leverage so Aki can pump into each tense pull of his cunt, the tension deliriously good. He only needs a few more moments - ]

Fuck -

[ He breathes harshly, though he at least has the presence of mind to pull out before he comes. Hot seed spills between their bellies in thick, sticky ropes, as he exhales sharply through clenched teeth, a guttural groan swallowed up in his throat. ]

[ even after he's come, aki continues to pump into him, and it's excellent, it's perfect, it extends his orgasm until he's oversensitive and wild, pushed to the edge, clinging to aki with arms and legs, his entire body tensed tight as a bowstring. he has the distinct privilege of listening to aki unravel, of feeling his body tighten as he comes apart, and tighnari coaches him there, whispering sweet filth into his ear. you feel so good, come for me, come for me -

it doesn't take much. aki spills against his belly, sticky and hot, and tighnari buries his face against his throat, breathing in that steel smoke smell. ]

Aki.. [ he whispers, between lazy, peppered kisses to his throat. ] Aki..

[ tighnari feels so empty without him, now, already missing the feel of his cock, aching to be knotted full, but this is the best he can hope for, and it was absolutely satisfying, leaving him sagging against the door, his thighs straining to help keep himself held up. tighnari's breathing is labored, his too-hot skin dewy with sweat, his thighs slippery with their mess, and at last he feels like he can think again. at least for now.

tighnari's hands slide to bracket aki's face so he can look into his eyes with wide black pupils, nudging their noses affectionately together. ]

That was good.. so good.

[ It was...exquisite.

But of course, in the end, that is what this is all about, isn't it? About satisfying Tighnari's innate need for a mate, during this time when his body craves it like a drug. If he is satisfied, then Aki has done the job that Tighnari asked him here to do in the first place. That's a weight off his shoulders, but really, there was nothing to worry about, was there?

Tighnari wanted him so badly, and there's no better turn-on than that.

A shiver runs down his spine at the heat of Tighnari's kisses to his throat, warm against skin that has gone cold with goosebumps. Every inch of him feels oversensitive and raw, and while he is absolutely strong, it is still quite exhausting to pin another person against a door to fuck them. It is still the middle of the night, too.

He sinks forward against Tighnari and the door, though not uncomfortably so, as Tighnari takes his face in his hands and nuzzles him so sweetly. It makes his heart jump in a way he swiftly ignores. Though the affection has...certainly caught him off-guard, it isn't unwelcome.

His brow rests against Tighnari's, his breath still gusting quick against his cheek. ]

It was. [ A beat. ] Did it help take the edge off?

[ That seems to be the case, but he'd rather ask. ]

[ the affection surprises him, too. tighnari isn't a cold person, he's capable of great affection when he chooses to offer it, but this isn't supposed to be about affection, it's supposed to be about sex. still, he can't deny the powerful inclinations that come along with his heat, the urge to be close to someone, to be intimately bonded.

it's a little easier to see clearly now, however, even if his libido will be clawing at him again soon. ]

Mhm. It helped.

[ it helped a lot. he nods, still breathing quickly, his fingers moving through aki's dark, damp hair, scratching fondly at his scalp before he carefully loosens his thighs, grasping aki's shoulders to lower himself to the floor. his legs feel like jelly, and he's a mess between the thighs, but he's feeling satisfied and sated - at least for now. he's sure to keep aki busy in the coming week. ]

Let's.. get cleaned up, and get some sleep.

[ it is, in fact, the middle of the night, after all. tugging his shorts back over his hips, tighnari begins leading aki to the washroom by the wrist, where he dampens a few hand towels. ]

I'm surprised you were even awake.

[ Dazed and still a little breathless, Aki nods numbly, tugging the waistband of his sleeping pants back up over his hips, but he doesn't bother with his shirt, leaving where it lays in a heap on the floor. He leaves his bag next to the door, too; he knows where it is when he needs it, which is probably whenever the next time he needs a smoke is.

Following Tighnari into the bathroom, he graciously accepts one of those hand towels to clean up the mess he left on his abdomen. It's almost surreal, how fast it all happened, but his blood still thrums with satisfaction just beneath the surface of his skin.

Damn, it was good. ]

I couldn't sleep. [ He explains, before adding a moment later. ] I had a lot on my mind.

[ This. He had this on his mind. There's a million other worries and cares he's gotten used to sleeping with, but this was...something new and markedly different. ]

[ tighnari follows suit, wiping himself fastidiously clean before tossing the hand towel into the laundry basket beside the bathtub. ]

Ah..

[ he looks a little.. sheepish, oddly enough. tighnari is a confident young man, the type to knows what he wants, when he wants it, and how he wants it, but he's a little out of his wheelhouse, here. casual unattached sex isn't exactly a hobby of his, however much he might have planned everything out so meticulously.

tighnari rubs absently at the back of his neck and turns to glance up into aki's face. his heat has abated enough to control himself for now, but he still can't help but admire the line of his jaw, and the lovely blue of his eyes. ]

If this is too weird - if you're having second thoughts - that's.. okay. I understand. I know this is intense.

[ this is his out, if he wants it. ]

[ Ah, that isn't how he meant for it to come across. After tossing his towel into the hamper, he's quick to hold up his hand. ]

No, that's not it. I gave you my word. I'm not backing out.

[ Not only would it feel like a shitty thing to do to a friend, he...doesn't want to. Especially now that they've already had sex once, and it only took a matter of minutes. It he was anxious about being able to perform, to satisfy Tighnari in the way he needed to be for his Heat, then that was gone the moment his cock had sunk into him.

A shiver runs down his spine as he wets his lips. ]

I said I'd be here for you, didn't I?

Yes, but -

[ tighnari starts, then stops. aki already accepted, twice now, if he didn't want to be here, he wouldn't be, and he should just stop picking at it, stop fussing about it. this might be among the strangest things that tighnari has ever done, but it'll be fine, it'll be all right - they already had sex once, and nothing burst into flames, it's all just fine. he exhales through his nose, and smiles, the tension bleeding from his shoulders. ]

All right. Thank you.

[ and then he's brushing past aki and into the hallway again, his tail flicking against aki's thighs as he passes. it's tempting to take his hand, and part of tighnari wants to, but he quickly ignores it; there's no need to make all of this any more confusing than it already is. he pauses at the end of the hallway, beckoning aki toward the common room, toward the nest he'd built. ]

Come on, then, let's get some sleep. You're going to need it.

[ tighnari plans to keep him very busy. ]

[ Tighnari's gestures are appreciated, because from here, he's not exactly sure what to expect. This is, in the end, all about the physicality; they're not a couple expressing intimate feelings, strange it seems to not take his hand, or lean into his side. Should he even sleep close to him in bed?

Probably not, and besides, it's not like Aki is used to sleeping next to others, either. Even if they slept wrapped up in one another, he might just wake up thinking he was being attacked, and no one needs that.

Right. He's just being practical. Never mind the way his heart flutters at the implication in Tighnari's words. You're going to need it.

Quietly, he pads up behind Tighnari, exhaling a long sigh. Now, he is tired. ]

So this is where we're sleeping, huh?

[ aiden how literally do i take "nest" this is important ]

You don't.. have to sleep here, if you'd prefer not to. You can take my bed, or the sofa, wherever you're most comfortable.

[ this is already weird enough, he doesn't want to make it more awkward, but.. he's still riding the high of their initial fuck, and his body craves the nearness of aki's body. besides, by the time morning arrives, his heat will have ramped up again and he'll be more than ready to go - the closer aki is, the better. ]

I'll need you in the morning, though.

[ their eyes meet, briefly. a little spike of anticipation drives into his belly.

but he busies himself with their shirts, that were left abandoned on the floor. tighnari sweeps them up and carries them into the living room, draping them neatly over the arm of the sofa, before he's finally dropping back into his comfortable nest. ]

[ Even if he weren't similarly still high on endorphins from the sex, he'd likely want to stay close by Tighnari, in case he needs him urgently. If Aki didn't intend to sleep next to him, he might as well stay in his own apartment, in his own bed.

But he's here. Without even answering, Aki only shoots Tighnari a sidelong look with a slanted frown, before dropping down onto the nest of blankets and pillows. Sure is going to be nice and cozy. ]

Then I better be as close as possible.

[ Leaning back against his pillows, he tucks his arms behind his head. He isn't going anywhere, and nerves or otherwise, he doesn't want to give Tighnari any reason to second-guess himself. Aki values his companionship, his friendship, and he's not going to jeopardize that over something foolish.

...And snuggles are nice. ]

[ tighnari ignores the pleased little thrill he feels when aki settles down into his nest, appreciating the work tighnari has done to make their space comfortable, like the good mate that he is. he bats away the thought, yet another inane appearance of instinct, the same instinct that drove him to build the nest in the first place, that urges him to snuggle in close to aki, to keep them both warm, to solidify their bond.

but there's no bond to be solidified in the first place. so tighnari settles near to him, but not pressed as close to him as the fox in his soul wants him to, but close enough still to feel aki's warmth, to catch his scent. curling onto his side, tighnari closes his eyes. ]

Night.

[ and it's easy enough for him to fall asleep, exhausted and comfortable and satisfied as he is.

of course, that satisfaction can last only so long. soon the dawn rises, the warm, gentle light of sunrise filtering through the gossamer curtains, bringing with it the heat in tighnari's belly again. he stirs, grunts, cracks open one eye. he's uncomfortable again, his skin dewy with sweat, a twisting in his gut that he cannot ignore, and that telltale slick between his thighs again. he'd hoped to allow aki to sleep longer, into the afternoon if needed..

maybe he can take care of himself, for a time. for a little while. shifting beneath the blankets, tighnari turns onto his back, thrusting his left hand deep into his boxer briefs, finding the wet heat there. his clit is swollen, aching, and he rolls the thickened pads of his fingers against it, a soft cry in his throat that he quickly muffles, pushing two knuckles into his mouth, sucking. his hips rock upward, his back arching away from the blankets as his pulse quickens, two fingers gliding down to his puffy slit, pressing deep into his body. ]

[ The only problem when choosing someone like Aki for this task is that he is very aware of his surroundings at all times, even in his sleep. So as Tighnari begins to stir and touch himself, it is only inevitable that he wakes, even if he quickly remember where he is and why he doesn't need to be on guard.

His mouth is dry and his head slightly achy, he'll need to go light up in a few minutes, once he finishes waking up - and he should make sure Tighnari knows he's awake, too. His partner is evidently already awake from the way he's moving around, but with blurry vision from the dust in his eyes, he doesn't quite realize what Tighnari is doing until he rolls over onto his side.

...But those sounds reach his ears. Of course they do. Hot, wet, needful sounds, and immediately, it reignites that fire in his belly, and reminds him right away just why he is here, what need he is to fulfill. His gaze lingers on Tighnari's tight expression for a moment, his fingers buried in his mouth, dragging his tongue over dry lips. God, he looks good like this.

In the haze of just waking, he doesn't find anything unusual about a thought like that, and neither does he hesitate, moving closer to Tighnari, leaning over him beneath the blankets. ]

Allow me.

[ He murmurs, his fingers gliding along Tighnari's forearm to his wrist, though he doesn't reach further to touch him yet, not until he makes it clear that it is welcome. ]

[ tighnari hears aki stirring, but distantly, like hearing him through thick cotton, and it isn't until aki is leaning closer that tighnari's eyes snap open again, hazy and drunk, his pupils wide and black. the drag of aki's fingers down his arm feels like fire, and tighnari's breath catches, his cunt pulsing around his fingers, tightening with want. allow me, aki says, and it's just about the sexiest phrase tighnari has ever heard. ]

Yes. Yes..

[ he whispers, nodding rapidly, shallowly, and without hesitation he withdraws his hands from his shorts, his fingers glistening with slick, and he snags aki's hand, pressing it down beneath his waistband with a soft, needful cry. he's so wet, so hot, and their fingers slide together as he guides aki's hand low, over soft, dark curls and down to slippery folds, urging him inside. ]

Please.

[ rocking his hips up, tighnari grinds his clit against aki's callused palm, groaning deep in his throat, his eyes up, on his lover's face, watching the morning sunlight halo his sleep-wild hair. he looks good, hungry and attentive, just what tighnari wants to see. ]

[ Heat or otherwise, it's an undeniable turn-on to be wanted so badly, that Tighnari responds to him all but immediately and guides him right where they both want to be. Tighnari's slick fingers press his own hand downward between his legs, the cold-hot touch of wetness and skin sending a shiver down his spine, and he does not hesitate to feel the delicate folds of skin he finds there. His thumb presses over Tighnari's swollen clit, gauging his reaction, before his index finger sinks deeper, reaching inside of him, absolutely molten to the core. ]

Fuck.

[ He exhales at just how perfect and warm Tighnari feels inside, and already he is urging a second finger inside along the first, stroking him easily and quickly, his palm damp and slick.

Leaning over him further, Aki nuzzles to the corner of his jaw and ear, inhaling the sent of his skin, letting out a soft groan as his cock stirs between his own legs. ]

You should have woken me.

[ He didn't have to suffer in silence - or near silence, as the case may be. ]

[ aki gives him just what he wants, those long, dexterous fingers sinking deep into his core, earning him a low, wanton moan. it feels so good, even if it's just his fingers, to be attended to by someone else, aki's hand is able to satisfy him far more than his own can. and it warms him up so sweetly to hear him swear, to feel so wanted, it's what he craves, to be a good mate, to give his partner exactly what he wants. ]

I thought.. mmn.. I thought you might need more sleep..

[ he murmurs, turning his face to nudge their noses together, pressing their faces together, nuzzling, rubbing, purring. ]

Gods, you feel so good.

[ he drags his mouth over aki's, his thighs spreading wider beneath the blanket, his hips jerking upward as he whines, licking at aki's lips, eager and needy. one hand remains planted over aki's in his shorts, pressing down, while the other reaches for him, sliding down his chest and abdomen, hooking in his waistband. ]

Don't stop..
