Gentle impulsion
It's been a long time since he's done this. In some sense he's never done this.
He's had Eostre bound, blindfolded. He's been bound by her in his turn. And there had been the afternoon in her hut, with the belt, with Tom on his knees. And long before that there had been other times, times with a lot less warmth and a lot more disconnect. They hadn't been bad, not really, but they hadn't been close to this.
Or to what he imagines this could be.
It's close to half an hour since he'd left Tom in the compound. He's sitting on his bed, facing the door and waiting. Next to him is a coil of rope, his belt, his hunting knife. He's not sure what he'll use. Maybe he'll use none of it, this time. But he wants Tom to see them, as best he can in the flickering light of the two candles burning in saucers on the makeshift table beside the bed. If he doesn't use them, he wants Tom to be aware that he can. Anytime.
He realizes that it's a lot, that they haven't done much in this vein since the first baby steps that one afternoon weeks ago, that Tom might simply turn and leave if it's too much.
It's a risk he's willing to take, now. He curls his hands into loose fists and waits.

He rolls his tongue, bobs his head, does everything that Mike ever showed him, which was all he could do.
no subject
But it's not just a lesson for Tom. This has to flow both ways. He has to realize that at some point it isn't even up to him anymore.
"Shit, I'm close," he grates, still looking down, lips parted and wet. It comes out less as a warning... and more as a promise.
no subject
Everything. This. He pushes forward, taking Mike as deep as he can, and makes another noise, harsh, in the back of his throat.
no subject
This is cruel. Not even necessarily this, but what's following it. What this is is a demonstration, that there's no place for pride here, that any hold on it has to be released. He loves Hobbes more than his own life, but that doesn't preclude him being an object. An object of pleasure, yes, but an object all the same.
He wrenches in a breath, yanks Tom away from him with fingers tight in his hair, and as he starts to shudder helplessly he grasps himself with the other hand and spills, hot and sticky, onto Tom's lips and chin and cheeks.
He stares down as it happens, and even through the faint stab of guilt, the sheer naked perfection of it steals what breath he has left.

Fuck, he's wanted this for so long. And felt sure that he shouldn't want it. Felt that it's close to blasphemy.
It still feels like that, a little.
It starts to fade. He can open his eyes again. Slowly his hand loosens, combs forward through Tom's hair and trails over his cheekbone to his chin, slicking his fingers. He stays that way for a second, breathing hard, and then steps back, falling onto the mattress, sitting up with his fingers moving up to his parted lips. Tasting himself.

He leaned forward without exactly moving, trying to get close as he could.
no subject
But it feels right.
He reaches over to the table without looking and his hand finds the handle of the knife. The blade shines redly in the candlelight, like he hasn't cleaned it since its last use. But he has. It's pristine.
He reaches down with his other hand and pulls Tom's wrists up, sliding the knife under them and between his forearms. Held like that the point of the blade just pricks the skin of Tom's sternum. And he holds it there, not quite breaking the skin.
But close. God, so close. His mouth almost waters at it.

no subject
Not that he would. God, not ever. But he remembers that first moment, circling with guns pointed at each other, and then he'd been ready to do it if he had to. No matter who this kid was.
The knife moves, jerks up sharply, and the ropes fall loosely away from Tom's wrists, leaving faint red marks behind.
no subject
He finds himself looking at Mike's knees, breath heaving out of him, his arms dead weights at his sides. He's almost in shock, an on sudden island of calm in the middle of all of this.
"I didn't..."
no subject
It almost feels like a shame to walk away.
He reaches down with one hand and strokes it gently through Tom's hair. The smile widens, becomes fond as his eyes roam over welts and faint bruises, marks that he hopes won't fade too soon.
"You okay?"
no subject
"M'okay." His eyes fluttered closed. "Achy."
no subject
But that's not where they are right now.
He hesitates for a few seconds, then releases Tom's hair and steps past him, toward the door, leaving him there on his knees.
no subject
"I...?" he said, not understanding, so obviously not understanding. "Pinocchio? Did I do something...wrong?"
no subject
He inclines his head slightly. "We're done. I'm going to Eostre's." His eyes flicker down to Tom's cock, still hard, and to his unbound wrists.
"Use your hand if you need to," he adds, and in his smile there's a sharp little edge of cruelty. "'S what it's for."
no subject
"I thought that's what yours was for."
no subject
"Sometimes," he says, very quietly, "it's really just about me."
no subject
"No way, Pinocchio. Not anymore."
no subject
It's just that it didn't use to actually make him want to fuck Hobbes's brains out.
"What're you gonna do?" He arches an eyebrow. "Make me fucking stay here?"
no subject
no subject
He stays there, still with that little smirk on his face, still with that eyebrow raised, making every appearance of being nothing more than faintly amused.
But he knows that Hobbes can see through him by now. So it's a pretty safe bet that he isn't fooled.
Even so. He stays there, and his eyes glide slowly down to Tom's hand and cock and then back up again. There might be a challenge in it, just a little.
no subject
It really was amazing how fast one can learn.
no subject
When Hobbes moans he echoes it. It's a soft sound, barely audible, more a sigh than anything else. But it slips out before he can stop it and hangs there in the air between them.
