[Oh my god he was feeling confident because he was ALONE.
Sasuke's heartrate spikes, but all he does it turn back partially on his side, eyes flying open to take survey of his room as if Cy has already appeared.]
...
[He's allowed to say no. But he doesn't want to. Should he pull the blanket back up? At least it isn't bright in his room; only one light is on, dim gold on his bare skin, casting shadows into corners.]
οΌ the teleportation is done carefully, mindful of the confines of the stupid little shoebox space. he's wordless, at first — doesn't comment on the blanket or anything (it explains the rustling he heard earlier, and he can only imagine that sasuke pulled it back up before his arrival) he just sits down on the bed, which really is not meant for this, and sprawls down beside sasuke, taking up less space than one might expect of a man of his size. οΌ
[Having Cy in his room is a lot, at first, not only for his height but for his presence. Looming and calm and quiet. The bed sinks slightly with the additional weight, but not by much because the mattress itself is so thin. Sasuke's eyes peer over from beneath a fringe of hair, uncertain. The dildo is still inside of him; it feels heavy, slippery but for the grip of his lower body clenched around it with tension, arousal now slanted into murky waters.
They've been close before, but not really like this. Silently he offers his hand outβa little tacky still with lube, which causes him to hesitate.]
οΌ well, he very clearly doesn't care about the ghosts of lube past. he takes that hesitant hand, smoothing his thumb across the ridge of knuckles that have been broken and mended, and then he lifts it and presses a kiss against the tendons along its back. οΌ
I'm just here to look after you.
οΌ unbidden, he turns his grip on sasuke's hand a little into a massage, both hands coming together to manipulate the muscle and fine bones of the hand gently. he'll move up to the wrist and forearm so long as sasuke doesn't pull away. skilled hands, millennia of experience in each touch and press. οΌ
Too much?

[He's surprised how it feels to be touched in that moment. Unexpectedly there's relief, and his body releases some part of the tension it was holding, feeling the toy slip out of him but ignoring it. He shifts more deliberately to face Cy on that narrow bedβthe touch continues, not denied, moving up his arm.
It's a strange realization to have then. No one has touched him like this, with the hands ofβwhat? Almost like a lover would touch, or as he imagines one might because he wouldn't know, with that slow and thorough rub across tight tendons. It's not intimacy like a kiss, or a hug, or even an orgasm. It's a warm, cradling pool.
οΌ he's good at honesty, when it suits him. it's said very quietly, as he keeps working along the muscle. οΌ
It was stupid of me to ask you to do that, and I should have known better. It's not your fault — you did everything perfectly, you were just listening to me. There's nothing wrong with liking pain, but it shouldn't have been your first experience. I'm not going to excoriate myself over it, and I'm like, 98 percent sure you're going to say 'it's fine' again, and this is not me thinking you're fragile or weak — you aren't. I'm just sorry.

[He's quiet for a while, letting Cy work up his arm.]
It's not fine, then. [As if to be contraryβbut it's for a purpose.] I don't know how all of your rules work, but I can see that my reaction wasn't expected. We didn't discuss it first. Most of the new things I've learned in my life have been through pain, so it didn't surprise me to find it here. But if you want to do it differently, I don't mind that.
[Sometimes he can sound like a grown ass adult and not an eighteen-year-old. Very gently, Sasuke nudges his head under the man's chin. His breath fans skin.]
οΌ there's a slight hitch to his breath, barely audible. he does, however, lean his cheek down against the boy's head. does he know what those simple little statements do, how deeply they cut?
probably, if his own judgment of sasuke's earlier life can be trusted. his kindness is a choice. οΌ
No — your reaction wasn't what caught me off guard. You were perfect. My reaction was what twigged me out. It was impulsive, I usually prefer to be there in person when I'm walking someone through pain play. It's better when you're not alone, and it's my responsibility to catch those things.
[The solitude, on the other hand, is how Sasuke feels he was able to do it. Having a witness to experiencing painβhe doesn't know what that would be like. Cy's emphasis on communication comes to mind here, as clear-headed as he's feeling.]
I want to try. [He's no fucking quitter.] But I can't promise how I'll respond if you're in the room with me. It's fine if I'm doing it to myself, alone.
[The onion layers of trauma continue peeling.]
I've had experiences in the past receiving pain from others. It wasn't always physical, sometimes it was in my head. When it was willing, I did it in order to make myself stronger. ... They aren't positive memories. [no shit] If we do continue now, perhaps it would be better without that element. The room is small and the walls are thin.
[Which sounds weird, but he's honestly considering that he might have a bad reaction and destroy his room. Or scream. #justuchihathings]
οΌ it's not like he's a stranger to trauma. so many of his rules, of his reasons, of his own responses are the hammered alloy of his own, brought to alchemical life from an impossible span of years. he's watched as terrible things were done with his hands, with his body, horrible words said with his tongue, and he's told himself for millennia that as long as he's careful, as long as he's controlled, he will never be like that monster.
it's not like he lives in a constant state of self-recrimination. he knows, logically, that he's not to blame for the actions kulo vayn undertook on its long, long joyride of his fucking paltry meatsuit, but every once in a while, the lines blur. certain behaviours, certain tastes float up like oil in an ocean, and he thinks of what it would be like to drown in it.
so he gets it. why sasuke was fine with it, and why he carefully pieces apart his own feelings now. nothing he says about his experiences is surprising, it just fucking hurts.
he kisses the crown of the boy's hair. οΌ
I meant without it, anyway. We can talk about that later, properly. For now, I just want to make you feel good.
οΌ a gesture to the blanket, pulled up modestly over his hips. οΌ
[Shoulders slumping at the press of that gentle kiss, he shifts back, putting a few inches of space between their bodies on the bed. Breathing room. He becomes more conscious now of Cy beside himβhis warmth, his scent, the clothes he's wearing. All of those little things unique to his person. Attraction was there since the beginning and only a fraction from aphrodisiac.
Of course he would be drawn to such a looming, masculine presence, one that reeks of power and temperance and control yet can still wear ugly shirts and kiss so easily. But Sasuke is still surprised by it now.
οΌ this bed really is stupidly small. he works that massage up to sasuke's shoulder, mindful even as he draws away — and once he's satisfied with it, he lets him go.
as to the blanket... he slips one hand in against sasuke's side beneath his shirt, and then pushes it downward until it's gathered up like the water at a prow of a ship. he pushes it down slowly rather than with any urgency, and stops once it's revealed just enough of him to make this whole thing work, letting it pool over those muscular thighs. Sidenote: this blanket is actually awful. Did they make it that scratchy on purpose?
he leans in, and another kiss is pressed against the jut of sasuke's hip.
the dildo's slipped half out of him, oddly angled where its base has levered against the towel. cy strokes down his leg, similarly kneading at the muscle there, and warns him in a low voice — οΌ
I'm gonna pull it the rest of the way out for now. Don't brace, relax.
οΌ he waits, until he feels the kid make a wilful effort to obey beneath his hand, and then he grasps the dildo by its base and slowly, gently eases it out and for now sets it aside on the towel. he's quietly relieved to see that there's no blood streaked against its length, so at least it was purely the pain of new intrusion and not actual damage that sasuke had been gritting his teeth against. it unknots the penitent unhappiness that had wound itself up like a clockwork engine inside of him.
with a breath — οΌ
Indulge me, huh? I wanna work out the rest of this tension on you first, then I'll fuck you with the toy. Remind me to clean it. οΌ look, he will forget. so — οΌ Roll over.
οΌ there's a massage parlour on the... shit, tenth? floor? that caters both to happy endings and to luxuriating massage, so mentally he maps it out, his lips moving in a soundless equation. facing the door, the display tables with their wares was to the left, 396.2487 centimetres. he reaches, and pulls — that magic rolls over them like thunder, but it does return with a bottle of high end cinnamon-scented massage oil, which he uncaps once sasuke's settled. the shirt gets nudged upwards until it's really more of a fashion-forward scarf, and then he begins: working the oil between his palms, and then dipping down against the corded muscles of the kid's back. even relaxed to his best efforts, there is an unbounded tension singing across every fibre in him, something he's probably not even consciously aware of.
as he works, he tells a story: οΌ
There's a place I've been to that reminds me of you. The planet is called Osiere, but more specifically — Mon Mahara is the place. It's in the middle of a desert, a temple. It was built probably before I was even born. It's beautiful, cut from stone with a skill I'm not sure I could match even now. It's the place that made me want to be an architect, which I've been about as often as I've been an engineer. Whether by happy accident or design, they built it on top of an oil deposit and tapped into it, so there's this fire there that's been burning as long as I've been going there in a brazier at its heart. No people, though.
οΌ it was one of the worlds kulo vayn decimated. almost nothing left, as far as living creatures go. he remembers afterwards, visiting each in turn, and how when he'd found mon mahara intact, untouched, he'd gone to his knees, fingers curling into the sand. but that's an old story, and not one he feels terribly compelled to share. something survived. something survived. οΌ
I go there when I need a break. Sometimes I stay for a few days, sometimes longer. I did that after the last big war on the last planet I was on. I think it was about forty years, just... room to breathe, you know?
[He is not a modest person by nature or practice, but that lifestyle has hinged entirely upon a certain perspectiveβthat the body is a weapon, a tool, forged to its utmost on the battlefield. Intimacy of the body remains behind doors, between married men and women for the purposes of procreation, and the rest of the shinobi world lives within this sanitized conservation of virtue. To go outside that is an aberration, an embarrassing social blunder at best and an alienating sin at worse, but even under those rules Sasuke has never considered intimacy for himself. He has never seen it practiced. He cannot recall a time his father ever touched his mother with more than a passing hand, there-and-gone. They did not hug or kiss, or at least not in front of him. A pat on the head from his father, Sasuke remembers, would buoy his happiness for a week.
And when the girls who chased him tried to initiate it, he recalls his own reactions to their affectionβa shuddering shut-down, a withdrawal, a settling coldness. After all, how he could let them in when it trespassed on such a foundational lesson of his culture? He didn't exist to be caressed, or kissed, or cradled, because his body could only be shaped by fists and blades and pain, anything that would chisel it into a violent point.
He breathes when Cy eases the toy out of him, feeling the accompanying ache of emptiness where muscle has stretched too soon, a jolt of sharp pain up his spine. Then, obediently, he rolls onto his stomach. And such an action is so natural when he has never let someone this close, behind him, that it's almost terrifying. But Cy's hands are soft and masterful as they work over inexorably tight muscles. And his voice is drawling, almost hypnotic, a cadence he can slip beneath just to listen.
And imagine. The temple takes over his mind, lit by the backdrop of an eternally burning flame. Empty stone. Carved architectural beauty. He envisions Cy there, alone, and it doesn't feel very good despite the peacefulness of solitude described. Like there's something else, some haunting presence overlaid.]
Mon Mahara.
[He's testing the unfamiliar shape of those syllables in his mouth.]
My home is called Konohagakure. A forest, green and alive. Mild winters and humid summers. I had a clanβthe Uchiha. [Past particle.] We were old and powerful, and angry. Passionate. Uchiha possess an affinity for the nature of fire. It was one of the most complicated techniques I first learned when I was eight, to create that fire: katon. My father praised me for it.
[Face down, in the dim room beneath Cy's hands, it's easier to be vulnerable even if it's nothing new for a man who has lived millennia to hear. Maybe he's talking more for himself. Sasuke shifts slightly, exhaling.]
οΌ a lonely, abandoned place gives way to green. he's seen lush worlds, perfect in perennial beauty. when you walk through a forest that has never known the bite of an axe, or the acrid breath of polluted air. in a way, those sorts of places are the closest he's ever felt to any sort of divinity, any amount of holiness. something pure and untrespassed, untold sanctuaries beneath every canopy.
he was a farmer, once. maybe that's why things that are green, that are growing, that are anchored deep into the earth always speaks to him.
so he can picture it too — a forest, a place that's hidden away behind the embrace of foliage. a people subsumed by anger and ascendancy.
he does not miss that was. when sasuke says it, his hands still just slightly against his back and then resume, stroking downward along the spine in one smooth, easy stroke. he'd assumed that by accident, aberration or design that sasuke was someone who had spent much of his life alone, or at least some amount of isolated. that statement, vague as it is, begins to add colour to the overlay of all the things he hasn't said. it's telling, too, that the simple insight is the longest the kid's ever said at once, much less about something as personal as home.
he's — what, twenty at the most? that's maybe twelve years in which some tectonic shift might have happened. in which have might have become had. it could be estrangement, he might've been disowned. the words and culture are japanese, even if it's not from earth — filial piety (or a lack thereof) might have been the deciding factor there. but the weight on my father praised me for it cleaves away from that possibility.
so many of his scars are old, except the arm. οΌ
It should feel good. This is my number one seduction technique, you know.
οΌ he leans over, and drops another kiss against the blade of the boy's shoulder. in an audible stage whisper: οΌ
[At the whisper, Sasuke makes a noise against the pillow pressed to his face, chuffing breathβas close as he's come to laughter yet. The massage has worked him to a state of gradual ease, body feeling doughy and looser than he can remember.
And yes, the technique is working. His right arm tucks itself under the pillow as he reacts to the sensual temptation of touch, Cy's hands coaxing alive the arousal that had faded in the interim of their conversation. He feels it pool in his belly, collecting like hot syrup; his cock thickens with interest where it lies trapped between the towel and the weight of his own body. Pale thighs tense, a flex of muscle that allows him to rub once against the friction of the bed in an act played off as subtle. Since that first experience of petrification, he's slowly been recovering from deprivation, filling out where the hollowness of lack of food and sleep once sharpened his features to an unhealthy cast.]
You can see for yourself.
[As if it would even take much, with Cy touching him. Anything at all is better than he's ever had.]
Careful, you keep on like this I'm really going to think you have a sense of humour.
οΌ it's said playfully, but there's an appreciation there, too. he knows full well he's seeing a side of sasuke — literal unseen parts notwithstanding — that not a lot of others are privy to. it feels precious and fragile in equal measure, something to be safeguarded, to be held. οΌ
But since you're offering... οΌ one hand, still smelling faintly of that cinnamon oil (that he is going to have to carefully wash off before he sticks his fingers anywhere interesting) is nudged gently against his hip. οΌ Show me.
[A sigh, but his words remain calm, low-toned, a little playful.] Then I'll have to correct your opinion of me.
[It's like when Cy told him to watchβasking him to comply with an exposure he's not used to, that act of being seen, his own mental state hung still between shame and fear of revealing vulnerability. Weakness. Yet it's easier to trust Cy behind a closed door with the knowledge this won't be used against him. The man has had too many chances to do so by now.
Not that his compliance isn't awkward, shifting to roll onto a side, then his back, gaze slipping away so as not to see himself. His cock, fully aroused in a flush of color, lies almost flat to his abdomen, untouched since the start of this. Thighs part slightly but not far, blocked by Cy's body beside him.]
οΌ he's grinning a bit at the banter, but when sasuke shifts, the expression gradually transmutes instead to a sort of consideration, an artist studying a masterwork. he touches, because he can't not — one hand against the top of sasuke's thigh, up to his abdomen. he splays his hand right above his navel, just beyond the head of his cock, thickened and heavy with arousal. his hand is positioned almost more possessively than it is strictly sexual, a claimancy that's augmented by what he says next — οΌ
I like this. οΌ it's said simply, his fingers drag a little, not hard. οΌ You letting me look. It's not just seeing you — which, don't get me wrong, you're fucking gorgeous — but what's way fucking hotter than that is you making the choice to obey me. Thank you, sweetheart.
οΌ he drops a kiss against sasuke's shoulder, liberal as ever with the little affectionate gestures, the praise, the warmth — then it's right back to business: οΌ
I like, desperately wanna finger-fuck you but I have got that oil like, all over my hands and I'm guessing you don't want a cinnamon-scented asshole so do you have like, soap or anything? Nothing alcohol based, it'll burn. Otherwise I'll teleport out and pop back.
[The words, the warm touch of a handβthat feels as if he is becoming trained to crave on his skinβthe kiss, the endearment. All of these melt into his belly, a fluttering of emotion separate from the burn of attraction or arousal; he finds his face hot, colored to match the pink flush of his cock. Embarrassing. At least the light in the room is low enough to disguise such an adolescent reaction to praise and affection.
Sasuke's throat works through a swallow, pulse beginning to climb. Sweat prickles at the temperature of the room with the two of them in it. His shirt remains hiked up under armpits, and the rhythm of his shortened breaths is visible in the expansion of a pale ribcage.]
Under the bed. [It would be easy to let Cy leave and return. Yet, selfishly, he doesn't like that thought at all. He doesn't want to be left here, waiting. Impatience scorches a path that leaves tentative eagerness in its wake.] Since the showers are outside the rooms, I keep supplies in here. The clear container.
[Beneath the low frame of the bed, Cy will find a plastic storage box filled with cleaning supplies, among them paper towels, soap, water-based wet wipes, shampoo and conditioner. It is neat and tidily organized.]
οΌ a companionable pat to sasuke's side, and then he slips from the bed with a push of his hand and a hook of his ankle on the frame at the foot of the bed. he makes it look surprisingly agile — and the rummage is a quick business. he cleans his hands and in a rather contrary moment of behaviour, he leaves the container just as he found it despite a moment's careless rummaging.
can't keep his own space clean to save his life. does respect the sanctity of other's, though.
the hop back to bed is equally quick and graceful, and then he's right about back where he started — perhaps a little closer, propped up on his side.
this bed is absolutely not long enough for him. his ankles hang awkwardly off the edge of the bed, and unless he wants to jam his head right up against the other side he's just resigned to being comically outsized for this stupid little coffin room. shitty as his own quarters are, he's surprised to find that one lesser rank is treated that much worse as far as accommodations go. one more reason to give the good ol' single finger salute to the proprietors, as far as he's concerned.
but he's not worried about the hot, black rage that makes a bid for his emotional regulation at the moment. he's got other, more pressing things to focus on, and the anger is easily set aside.
(it has to be.)
he pats down the blankets and towel until he tracks down the bottle of lube, and then he nestles it between their bodies, within easy reach. οΌ
Okay, dealer's choice. οΌ poker jokes. apt. οΌ We can do it like this and I can fold your leg up οΌ a pat to sasuke's nearer thigh. οΌ Gives me a good angle and lets me kiss you stupid. I could get between your thighs, same thing. I'd say stomach, but I wanna watch you come.
οΌ whisper-light, he trails a finger up the length of sasuke's cock, barely making contact. teasing? absolutely. οΌ One other thing. No touching your dick. You're gonna want to, so let me know now if you think you can control yourself or if I need to think of something else.
οΌ mm, actually, with their earlier conversation in mind — οΌ
I don't mean tying or restraints. I mean I will literally just hold your hand.
[The distribution of Cy's length across the bed isn't missed by Sasuke, who only manages to fit himself with feet and head up against both ends, but there isn't much to amend it now. In the future, however, it would be wiser to choose another location.
He's startled to realize he is even thinking of that future.
As Cy describes their positioningβmethodical, as usual, in his state of order where anyone else would have gone right into the actβdissimilar eyes follow those hands. A pat to his leg. A touch sketched up the length of his cock, the suggestion of contact more than anything tangible. It jumps, eager. His jaw flexes but he keeps himself still, unwilling to be tempted into some pathetic chase for friction or pressure. Even the sight of Cy's fingers carves out a hungry space in him: thicker, larger than his own, perfectly smooth-skinned and unmarred.
The stipulation draws Sasuke's attention back from this fixated stare.]
... I'm fine on my back. [Not out of laziness; he likes how close Cy is, beside him, and he likes the idea of kissing though this won't come confessed so easily.] I should be able to control myself. It's not something I've felt inclined to do much in the past.
[Severe depression sort of knocks the wind out of normal teenage libido.]
Well, I got you off once without touching you. I wanna see if I can go best two out of three.
οΌ it's only said half-seriously. he's sure sasuke is still just a little embarrassed by that first desperate orgasm, gripped by the merciless thrall of his suit, and he's not trying to make fun — leaning now with his chin in his palm, giving the kid a fond smile, he hopes he knows it.
then, with a bit less levity — οΌ
Literally no reason beyond I think it's hot when you obey me. Need me to dial back on being bossy?

οΌ he waits, until he feels the kid make a wilful effort to obey beneath his hand, and then he grasps the dildo by its base and slowly, gently eases it out and for now sets it aside on the towel. he's quietly relieved to see that there's no blood streaked against its length, so at least it was purely the pain of new intrusion and not actual damage that sasuke had been gritting his teeth against. it unknots the penitent unhappiness that had wound itself up like a clockwork engine inside of him.
with a breath — οΌ
Indulge me, huh? I wanna work out the rest of this tension on you first, then I'll fuck you with the toy. Remind me to clean it. οΌ look, he will forget. so — οΌ Roll over.
οΌ there's a massage parlour on the... shit, tenth? floor? that caters both to happy endings and to luxuriating massage, so mentally he maps it out, his lips moving in a soundless equation. facing the door, the display tables with their wares was to the left, 396.2487 centimetres. he reaches, and pulls — that magic rolls over them like thunder, but it does return with a bottle of high end cinnamon-scented massage oil, which he uncaps once sasuke's settled. the shirt gets nudged upwards until it's really more of a fashion-forward scarf, and then he begins: working the oil between his palms, and then dipping down against the corded muscles of the kid's back. even relaxed to his best efforts, there is an unbounded tension singing across every fibre in him, something he's probably not even consciously aware of.
as he works, he tells a story: οΌ
There's a place I've been to that reminds me of you. The planet is called Osiere, but more specifically — Mon Mahara is the place. It's in the middle of a desert, a temple. It was built probably before I was even born. It's beautiful, cut from stone with a skill I'm not sure I could match even now. It's the place that made me want to be an architect, which I've been about as often as I've been an engineer. Whether by happy accident or design, they built it on top of an oil deposit and tapped into it, so there's this fire there that's been burning as long as I've been going there in a brazier at its heart. No people, though.
οΌ it was one of the worlds kulo vayn decimated. almost nothing left, as far as living creatures go. he remembers afterwards, visiting each in turn, and how when he'd found mon mahara intact, untouched, he'd gone to his knees, fingers curling into the sand. but that's an old story, and not one he feels terribly compelled to share. something survived. something survived. οΌ
I go there when I need a break. Sometimes I stay for a few days, sometimes longer. I did that after the last big war on the last planet I was on. I think it was about forty years, just... room to breathe, you know?

Date: 2024-01-15 07:05 pm (UTC)And when the girls who chased him tried to initiate it, he recalls his own reactions to their affectionβa shuddering shut-down, a withdrawal, a settling coldness. After all, how he could let them in when it trespassed on such a foundational lesson of his culture? He didn't exist to be caressed, or kissed, or cradled, because his body could only be shaped by fists and blades and pain, anything that would chisel it into a violent point.
He breathes when Cy eases the toy out of him, feeling the accompanying ache of emptiness where muscle has stretched too soon, a jolt of sharp pain up his spine. Then, obediently, he rolls onto his stomach. And such an action is so natural when he has never let someone this close, behind him, that it's almost terrifying. But Cy's hands are soft and masterful as they work over inexorably tight muscles. And his voice is drawling, almost hypnotic, a cadence he can slip beneath just to listen.
And imagine. The temple takes over his mind, lit by the backdrop of an eternally burning flame. Empty stone. Carved architectural beauty. He envisions Cy there, alone, and it doesn't feel very good despite the peacefulness of solitude described. Like there's something else, some haunting presence overlaid.]
Mon Mahara.
[He's testing the unfamiliar shape of those syllables in his mouth.]
My home is called Konohagakure. A forest, green and alive. Mild winters and humid summers. I had a clanβthe Uchiha. [Past particle.] We were old and powerful, and angry. Passionate. Uchiha possess an affinity for the nature of fire. It was one of the most complicated techniques I first learned when I was eight, to create that fire: katon. My father praised me for it.
[Face down, in the dim room beneath Cy's hands, it's easier to be vulnerable even if it's nothing new for a man who has lived millennia to hear. Maybe he's talking more for himself. Sasuke shifts slightly, exhaling.]
That feels good.

Date: 2024-01-15 08:58 pm (UTC)he was a farmer, once. maybe that's why things that are green, that are growing, that are anchored deep into the earth always speaks to him.
so he can picture it too — a forest, a place that's hidden away behind the embrace of foliage. a people subsumed by anger and ascendancy.
he does not miss that was. when sasuke says it, his hands still just slightly against his back and then resume, stroking downward along the spine in one smooth, easy stroke. he'd assumed that by accident, aberration or design that sasuke was someone who had spent much of his life alone, or at least some amount of isolated. that statement, vague as it is, begins to add colour to the overlay of all the things he hasn't said. it's telling, too, that the simple insight is the longest the kid's ever said at once, much less about something as personal as home.
he's — what, twenty at the most? that's maybe twelve years in which some tectonic shift might have happened. in which have might have become had. it could be estrangement, he might've been disowned. the words and culture are japanese, even if it's not from earth — filial piety (or a lack thereof) might have been the deciding factor there. but the weight on my father praised me for it cleaves away from that possibility.
so many of his scars are old, except the arm. οΌ
It should feel good. This is my number one seduction technique, you know.
οΌ he leans over, and drops another kiss against the blade of the boy's shoulder. in an audible stage whisper: οΌ
Is it working?
no subject
Date: 2024-01-15 11:03 pm (UTC)And yes, the technique is working. His right arm tucks itself under the pillow as he reacts to the sensual temptation of touch, Cy's hands coaxing alive the arousal that had faded in the interim of their conversation. He feels it pool in his belly, collecting like hot syrup; his cock thickens with interest where it lies trapped between the towel and the weight of his own body. Pale thighs tense, a flex of muscle that allows him to rub once against the friction of the bed in an act played off as subtle. Since that first experience of petrification, he's slowly been recovering from deprivation, filling out where the hollowness of lack of food and sleep once sharpened his features to an unhealthy cast.]
You can see for yourself.
[As if it would even take much, with Cy touching him. Anything at all is better than he's ever had.]
no subject
Date: 2024-01-16 01:49 am (UTC)οΌ it's said playfully, but there's an appreciation there, too. he knows full well he's seeing a side of sasuke — literal unseen parts notwithstanding — that not a lot of others are privy to. it feels precious and fragile in equal measure, something to be safeguarded, to be held. οΌ
But since you're offering... οΌ one hand, still smelling faintly of that cinnamon oil (that he is going to have to carefully wash off before he sticks his fingers anywhere interesting) is nudged gently against his hip. οΌ Show me.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-16 02:09 am (UTC)[It's like when Cy told him to watchβasking him to comply with an exposure he's not used to, that act of being seen, his own mental state hung still between shame and fear of revealing vulnerability. Weakness. Yet it's easier to trust Cy behind a closed door with the knowledge this won't be used against him. The man has had too many chances to do so by now.
Not that his compliance isn't awkward, shifting to roll onto a side, then his back, gaze slipping away so as not to see himself. His cock, fully aroused in a flush of color, lies almost flat to his abdomen, untouched since the start of this. Thighs part slightly but not far, blocked by Cy's body beside him.]
no subject
Date: 2024-01-16 02:32 am (UTC)οΌ he's grinning a bit at the banter, but when sasuke shifts, the expression gradually transmutes instead to a sort of consideration, an artist studying a masterwork. he touches, because he can't not — one hand against the top of sasuke's thigh, up to his abdomen. he splays his hand right above his navel, just beyond the head of his cock, thickened and heavy with arousal. his hand is positioned almost more possessively than it is strictly sexual, a claimancy that's augmented by what he says next — οΌ
I like this. οΌ it's said simply, his fingers drag a little, not hard. οΌ You letting me look. It's not just seeing you — which, don't get me wrong, you're fucking gorgeous — but what's way fucking hotter than that is you making the choice to obey me. Thank you, sweetheart.
οΌ he drops a kiss against sasuke's shoulder, liberal as ever with the little affectionate gestures, the praise, the warmth — then it's right back to business: οΌ
I like, desperately wanna finger-fuck you but I have got that oil like, all over my hands and I'm guessing you don't want a cinnamon-scented asshole so do you have like, soap or anything? Nothing alcohol based, it'll burn. Otherwise I'll teleport out and pop back.

Date: 2024-01-16 03:19 am (UTC)Sasuke's throat works through a swallow, pulse beginning to climb. Sweat prickles at the temperature of the room with the two of them in it. His shirt remains hiked up under armpits, and the rhythm of his shortened breaths is visible in the expansion of a pale ribcage.]
Under the bed. [It would be easy to let Cy leave and return. Yet, selfishly, he doesn't like that thought at all. He doesn't want to be left here, waiting. Impatience scorches a path that leaves tentative eagerness in its wake.] Since the showers are outside the rooms, I keep supplies in here. The clear container.
[Beneath the low frame of the bed, Cy will find a plastic storage box filled with cleaning supplies, among them paper towels, soap, water-based wet wipes, shampoo and conditioner. It is neat and tidily organized.]
no subject
Date: 2024-01-16 03:43 am (UTC)οΌ a companionable pat to sasuke's side, and then he slips from the bed with a push of his hand and a hook of his ankle on the frame at the foot of the bed. he makes it look surprisingly agile — and the rummage is a quick business. he cleans his hands and in a rather contrary moment of behaviour, he leaves the container just as he found it despite a moment's careless rummaging.
can't keep his own space clean to save his life. does respect the sanctity of other's, though.
the hop back to bed is equally quick and graceful, and then he's right about back where he started — perhaps a little closer, propped up on his side.
this bed is absolutely not long enough for him. his ankles hang awkwardly off the edge of the bed, and unless he wants to jam his head right up against the other side he's just resigned to being comically outsized for this stupid little coffin room. shitty as his own quarters are, he's surprised to find that one lesser rank is treated that much worse as far as accommodations go. one more reason to give the good ol' single finger salute to the proprietors, as far as he's concerned.
but he's not worried about the hot, black rage that makes a bid for his emotional regulation at the moment. he's got other, more pressing things to focus on, and the anger is easily set aside.
(it has to be.)
he pats down the blankets and towel until he tracks down the bottle of lube, and then he nestles it between their bodies, within easy reach. οΌ
Okay, dealer's choice. οΌ poker jokes. apt. οΌ We can do it like this and I can fold your leg up οΌ a pat to sasuke's nearer thigh. οΌ Gives me a good angle and lets me kiss you stupid. I could get between your thighs, same thing. I'd say stomach, but I wanna watch you come.
οΌ whisper-light, he trails a finger up the length of sasuke's cock, barely making contact. teasing? absolutely. οΌ One other thing. No touching your dick. You're gonna want to, so let me know now if you think you can control yourself or if I need to think of something else.
οΌ mm, actually, with their earlier conversation in mind — οΌ
I don't mean tying or restraints. I mean I will literally just hold your hand.
no subject
Date: 2024-01-16 04:09 am (UTC)He's startled to realize he is even thinking of that future.
As Cy describes their positioningβmethodical, as usual, in his state of order where anyone else would have gone right into the actβdissimilar eyes follow those hands. A pat to his leg. A touch sketched up the length of his cock, the suggestion of contact more than anything tangible. It jumps, eager. His jaw flexes but he keeps himself still, unwilling to be tempted into some pathetic chase for friction or pressure. Even the sight of Cy's fingers carves out a hungry space in him: thicker, larger than his own, perfectly smooth-skinned and unmarred.
The stipulation draws Sasuke's attention back from this fixated stare.]
... I'm fine on my back. [Not out of laziness; he likes how close Cy is, beside him, and he likes the idea of kissing though this won't come confessed so easily.] I should be able to control myself. It's not something I've felt inclined to do much in the past.
[Severe depression sort of knocks the wind out of normal teenage libido.]
But why?
no subject
Date: 2024-01-16 04:27 am (UTC)οΌ it's only said half-seriously. he's sure sasuke is still just a little embarrassed by that first desperate orgasm, gripped by the merciless thrall of his suit, and he's not trying to make fun — leaning now with his chin in his palm, giving the kid a fond smile, he hopes he knows it.
then, with a bit less levity — οΌ
Literally no reason beyond I think it's hot when you obey me. Need me to dial back on being bossy?
