Date: 2023-10-25 04:33 am (UTC)have you thought at all about finding someone to help you out this month?
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 04:48 am (UTC)I was thinking of maybe helping take someone out of the jail, don't like that there's a jail really. That's kind of my maybe plan for the month.
[he's struggling a bit]
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 04:51 am (UTC)you have 3 months on that, so it's not a huge rush.
... the other part kind of is.
do you work with any nice girls or anything?
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 04:54 am (UTC)The owner is really nice and I haven't been there long enough to meet everyone yet. Why do you ask? Are you looking for a girlfriend Leon?
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 05:21 am (UTC)no, zack...
because you need to find someone to have sex with in the next couple of weeks. we have quotas and you do NOT want to come up short or they'll force you to have sex. belive me, you don't want that.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 05:30 am (UTC)I'll figure something out, always have. I just need to practice or something
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 05:48 am (UTC)i know it must be hard when you have someone back home but they don't care here
you need practice?
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 10:20 am (UTC)I know I need to mosey on that a little. I haven't even kissed anyone here.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 04:06 pm (UTC)i'm guessing you haven't been here long enough to find someone you wouldn't mind 'practicing' on yet? is rude the only person here who you know from home?
no subject
Date: 2023-10-25 04:17 pm (UTC)I mean, there are really pretty and handsome people here! I just, I guess I'm kind of nervous? The most I've ever done is kiss and I've only kissed one person before. What if I'm terrible? Yeah Rude's the only one.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-26 04:17 am (UTC)[Handsome? That's... an interesting choice of words. Pretty and handsome. Noted.]
hm. well. you can't learn without doing. i mean you could watch some videos but you kind of just need to do it to get better at it. but even then, i bet you'll do fine.
not to make things weird, but if you have any questions i can try to answer them. rude would probably be a lot better at that than me though
no subject
Date: 2023-10-27 12:53 pm (UTC)Actually
You're right I should try to just find someone I kind of enjoy pending time with right? Maybe?!?
I don't want to bother either of you and your partners. I can watch some videos I guess if I need to. I did try the classes but pictures don't help me as much as seeing it in person does. I guess I need hands on experience. I'm just worried I'm going to be a bad kisser or something. Aerith liked my kisses but I think I was her first boyfriend so I'm not sure if that's good or bad.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-29 12:35 am (UTC)but yeah, a lot of people use the term 'friends with benefits'. the benefits being, y'know, sex
no subject
Date: 2023-10-29 03:22 am (UTC)It gets lonely in my place at night, it's really quiet and I don't like it. Back hoke I had the sounds of the city when I was alone, and when I was on the run my friend was there. He...he didn't talk much but that was still another person breathing near me. I'm not used to this.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-30 01:07 am (UTC)lonely? not really? i don't really sleep great so... maybe i'm not the best person to ask about that. but he's hung around afterward sometimes and i've done the same with other people too. i'm sure there are plenty of people who'd like to cuddle and even spend the night. whether you did anything or not.
no subject
Date: 2023-10-30 03:47 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2023-10-31 03:14 am (UTC)[God damnit, when did this become about him. This was supposed to be a conversation making sure Zack would get laid.]
no subject
Date: 2023-10-31 03:49 am (UTC)[He's trying so hard to get Leon to spend the night.]
no subject
Date: 2023-10-31 06:18 am (UTC)i
it's not going to go well
i just
i have bad nightmares. really bad.
[He really hated admitting this to anyone but he's sure Zack will blame himself somehow if he's not blatantly honest that the reason he doesn't want to sleep over is because of his own issues, not anything to do with Zack.]
sorry. if you want to sleep, having me over isn't going to help you
no subject
Date: 2023-10-31 01:56 pm (UTC)Even if you don't sleep, I'd still like you to come over and try. I don't really know what you mean by platonically but I won't do anything you don't like. I just think maybe if I hold you it might help you relax. I have trouble sleeping too so I get the nightmares and well
trauma.
I won't push it but if you ever can't sleep and want company please come knocking on my door. I'd happily let you in and protect you.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-01 12:35 am (UTC)i don't need anyone to protect me. i can protect myself.
but we can see if how this goes
and. hey. i'd prefer you not tell anyone about the nightmares.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-01 02:13 am (UTC)I didn't mean to make you upset Leon. I'm just trying to help anyway I can. I don't have much else I can offer.
You have my word I won't tell anyone. If you want to come tonight, you can. I'll be awake.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-01 02:44 am (UTC)but if i agree to do this, then you have to agree to try something too
you need to at least kiss someone. make out with someone. heavy petting, whatever you want to call it. i think you need to start trying stuff or a month is gonna go by and you're going to end up in trouble and i don't want that to happen to you
what time do you want me to come over?
no subject
Date: 2023-11-01 10:32 am (UTC)Can I kiss you? That counts right?
If you want I mean. I dont wanna make you uncomfortable around me.
You can come over whenever you're tired.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-02 03:10 am (UTC)what?
you want to kiss me?
[There had been some hints that Zack might like men and women, but he's still surprised Zack would want to kiss him of all people.]
yeah, that'd count if you wanted to
i haven't even been here that long but already... that doesn't come close to making me feel uncomfortable. i'm just surprised.
how about i come over around 10 and we can watch TV or something?
no subject
Date: 2023-11-02 03:38 am (UTC)I think
[He never kissed Cloud but he did know Genesis and Angeal were best friends and he saw them kiss, so it must be a thing.]
Well we can if you want or we can just watch tv too. I'll get snacks ready!!
no subject
Date: 2023-11-02 05:54 am (UTC)i'll see you soon
[As promised, Leon makes his way to the address Zack gives him around 10, getting there just a little past the hour. Since this is a sleepover, he's already in a comfortable looking pair of black sweats and an equally soft looking t-shirt with an out of place looking leather jacket on. He knocks on the door and waits for Zack to answer.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-02 12:21 pm (UTC)After getting all his junk food out and taking out a nice warm blanket for the couch is around the time he hears a knock on his door and he rushes to answer it. Leon looks so cute all dressed down, very cozy too. He can't help but smile at him and opens the door for him.]
Hey! Welcome! I hope it wasn't too far to come this way. I like the jacket.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-04 03:28 am (UTC)Not far at all. Five minute walk, tops.
[As he steps inside, he shrugs out of the jacket, now looking like he could just crawl into bed based on what he's wearing.] Thanks. It's the only one I've bought here so far, so it was an easy choice when I saw how chilly it was outside.
[But it's a nice temperature in Zack's apartment plus they'll be sitting close, he guesses, and then crawling into bed together.] Have you checked out what's on TV yet? It's all pretty... well, you'll see. [Like most things in Duplicity, sex seemed to be involved in everything.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-04 03:05 pm (UTC)[Zack heads over to his living room where a few bowls are filled with snacks of all kind and he grabs the bowl of cheese curls, tossing a few into his mouth before he brings it over to Leon and offers some to him.]
I haven't really watched tv yet but I mean it can't be all sex can it? [He had watched both videos at orientation and the first one had been sort of informative, so maybe there is at least a news channel or something they can watch. It can't possibly just be porn...right?]
you aren't chilly in here right? I run hot I've been told so I can hold you if you get cold.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-05 05:24 am (UTC)He gives Zack a soft smile as he takes a few cheese curls, tossing them into his mouth with a quiet 'thanks'.]
It's not all sex, but everything has sex in it. If that makes sense. Like every sitcom, every movie, every reality show. Sex is gonna happen at some point.
[He continues into the living room and sinks down into the couch.] Nah, I'm good. You can keep me warm anyway. [He gives Zack a little smirk.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-05 12:30 pm (UTC)[Of course he'd still hear it with his hearing even if he lowered the volume but hes not thinking about that.]
Oh I can?
[Just like a dog given permission to jump on a couch, zack quickly puts the bowl back on the coffee table and is on the couch in moments. He moves over to Leon and so easily lifts the man as if he's weightless before putting him into his lap and hugging his waist.]
Nice and toasty right?? If you get sleepy you can fall asleep on me here. I don't mind at all
[there is zero personal space between them on this couch as Zack lays his head on Leons shoulder and grabs the remote to turn the tv on.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 03:32 am (UTC)[He shrugs a little.
He can't help a soft laugh as Zack practically dives onto the couch though he immediately stops and goes stiff as he's lifted up suddenly and deposited on the man's lap. He's beet red when he finally finds his voice.] Uh... are you sure this is... comfortable for you?
[Still blushing furiously, he slowly relaxes, letting himself lean back and against Zack, feeling his warmth radiating through his back pleasantly.] This show's pretty ridiculous. The contestants are trying to win a date with the mystery person and they have to do a bunch of weird stuff.
[He turns his head slightly as he explains, their faces suddenly very close with Zack resting against his shoulder.] Which reminds me... you, uh... you promised me a kiss. [His face is burning again, cheeks and ears red and hot.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 09:57 am (UTC)[He focuses on the tv for a bit as they sit thwre and make small talk. The show actually isn't bad and kind of funny. He's invested already into it when Leon turns to look at him. He looks back, eyes glowing a little as he remembers he did say he'd do that over text.] oh..yeah um...yeah....we can.
[They are close, faces close enough for it but Zack pulls back a bit so he can lean more over Leon and look into his eyes. His own cheeks go a bit pink as his thumb presses down on Leon's chin, bringing him a little closer. He looks directly at those lips before him for a moment,taking a breath before he closes the distance and presses his lips against Leon's in a sweet kiss. His eyes close and his hand is still on the man's chin. It's not a bad kiss, hes had experience with kisses, its soft and sweet much like Zack.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 04:35 pm (UTC)He catches the faint blush, still glowing himself but Zack leans in slightly, so he tilts his head for a better angle. He lets Zack lead, closing his eyes as their lips meet. It's slow and sweet, Zack's lips soft against his. He lets this kiss linger a moment longerbefore tilting his head slightly to rest his forehead against Zack's.
That had been very... feelings-ful and it leaves him conflicted, their initial conversation with Rude replaying in his mind.]
That was nice. You are a good kisser. [His voice is quiet, the words practically murmured against Zack's lips.] But I... I want... [He pauses, collects his thoughts, then tries again.] You should know, before we go any further, I'm not looking for anything more than friends with benefits. I don't want you to get the wrong idea, Zack. And I don't want to hurt you. If that's not okay, we can just hang out, y'know? [He searches Zack's eyes as he speaks, watching for flickers of emotion, needing to see how he'll react.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 05:13 pm (UTC)[Zack's happy to press his forehead against Leon's noses touching and his toes curling a little bit as he's assaulted with butterflies in his stomach at how nice this is. He really needs to kiss his friends more often, that's what he's taking from this.] You're soft Leon. [The man sort of feels a bit like a cozy teddy bear in his arms and he gives a squeeze, enjoying the short soft moment that he'll wish could last longer.]
[When Leon looks at him his happy almost dreamy expressions falters. Leon just wants to be friends who fuck is what he's hearing. He's sure that works for others but he wants to be more than that, not right now but to hear any possibility of more in the future be crushed so quickly has him pouting as he pulls back, his grip on Leon nearly nonexistent now.]
O-Oh...I thought...I mean... okay. [Leon had just said he liked the kiss so why would he say that now? Had he been lying and just been nice that maybe it wasn't good enough? Zack doesn't know but takes a moment to bring back his smile, just not as bright as it was before.] If that's what you want then I'll respect your wishes. We can just be friends then.
[He's not sure if he should have Leon in his arms now. He knows he used to sit like this with Angeal rarely so it might still be okay but maybe it's too much for Leon now.]
Ah...should we maybe um...do you want to sit at the other end of the couch instead? Is this still okay?
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 05:35 pm (UTC)I'm sorry, Zack. I just... I can't. I can't do that. Not here. Not when people don't have control over themselves half the time and disappear without warning. I just... can't. [Whether he's actually succeeding at that is another story entirely.
Tilting his head he gives Zack a brief kiss to the corner of his mouth apologetically.]
I'm good with whatever you're okay doing. [He gives his shoulder a squeeze, a fat more 'friendly' gesture. Just friends. Yep.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 05:59 pm (UTC)No it's okay. I get it I think. I don't think I could do the benefits part really. I don't want things to be meaningless. I spent so many years not telling people how much I loved them or what they meant to me but I see it now and I don't want to waste something so intimate just to fulfill a task, even if it gets me in trouble.
[The kiss to his cheek doesn't really help but he does keep his faded smile up and doesn't go back to holding Leon either but he also doesn't move him from his lap.]
You can stay here if you like. I won't do anything I promise but could you maybe pass me the bowl of chips over there?
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 06:11 pm (UTC)[Leon slides off his lap and nestles in beside him pressed into his side, his head leaning against his chest.] This okay?
[He looks reluctant to bring up what he's about to bring up but Zack's comment about getting in trouble has him worried again.] Zack... speaking from experience... you do not want to end up in jail here.
Please, if you think you might not make quota please, please consider getting help from someone. It doesn't have to be me but I am willing to help. As long as it's someone.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 06:42 pm (UTC)Yeah it's okay. You can lean on me whenever you like. You're so light. [He tries not to move too much once Leon's all settled on him but he does go to pet his head with his clean chipless hand, a soothing touch for maybe the both of them right now.]
I'll think about it Leon, but I won't reach out to you for that. I appreciate the concern but I'll figure it out. You just worry about your own self meeting quota okay? [He doesn't offer himself to help with Leon's Quota in return, instead he just takes a few more chips and munches on those as he pets Leon's hair and focuses on the wall in front of him rather than the tv. He doesn't really feel in the mood to watch that gameshow anymore. He's got too many worries in his head.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 09:11 pm (UTC)He reaches out to steal a chip, munching quietly as he watches the sequence on the TV which may actually just be poorly disguised foot fetish stuff. It's definitely... something.
It seems to be a marathon of episodes though and halfway through the next one, he can't help but close his eyes. It's warm and comfortable curled against Zack and he hasn't slept more than short catnaps for days.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-08 09:33 pm (UTC)The moment does pass and the entire time they watch this weird foot show he starts to feel Leon become a little heavier as he hears his breathing even out. When Zack looks down he sees the man asleep against him and he can't help but blush a little as he moves some stray hair out of his face. He stays there for a bit to make sure Leon is totally asleep. Once he hears the heavier breathing he turns the tv off and carefully to not wake him up he picks up Leon bridal style, letting his head still lean against his chest and carries him to his bedroom where he lays the man down gently. Zack carefully gets in behind him and tucks them both in, letting Leon rest against both his chest and the pillow as he wraps an arm around his waist and tries to sleep himself.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-10 04:53 am (UTC)And he's good like this for a few hours, heavy, even breaths falling into a kind of rhythm with Zack's as they both sleep peacefully.
But his dreams are starting to turn nasty like they always do. His fingers twitch against Zack's chest as his breath catches and then speeds up for a moment before he goes quiet again. He makes a quiet noise, close to a whimper.
His dream is realistic, they always are. He and Zack are still watching TV when it suddenly flickers out and seconds later the power as a whole goes out. Zack says something about how he'll keep him safe, leaning closer to kiss him. Leon chuckles until he feels pain burn through his shoulder. Shoving Zack, the man has changed, eyes blank and glassy, the veins in his face black as he opens his mouth wider than he should be able to, lunging at Leon.
With an abrupt cry, Leon wakes up, his hair plastered to his forehead in a cold sweat, eyes wide in the darkness, scrambling to get away, his heart beating loudly, breathing rapid.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-10 03:36 pm (UTC)With Leon he is content in his sleep for once. He was so used to having Cloud at his side for months that it was hard to sleep with no one else around him. Of course it had been rare him and Cloud shared the same bed, but yet sharing with Leon felt right. The man's scent had lulled him to sleep more than the cozy weight at his side had.
The whimper is what starts to rouse Zack from his sleep. He yawns and stretches, still tired but slowly becoming aware of things. Rubbing his eyes in the dark room he looks around and remembers Leon is here. His eyes are glowing bright in the darkness, the only sort of light as he sees the man tossing a bit in his sleep. He starts to get a little worried and then suddenly Leon is up and awake and trying to get out of the bed.
Zack knows exactly what's going on, none of the details but he knows this is a night terror. He quickly turns to his nightstand to turn on a light and then is looking at Leon. He wants to hold him but he doesn't want to spook him more than he already is.]
Hey buddy, it's okay. You're okay, we're okay. Take a few deep breaths for me, alright?
[He has a hand extended to the man, taking a few calming breaths as example. If Leon takes his hand is on him but he's offering the touch to him.]
It's around three in the morning, I moved you to my bed since you fell asleep. It's just us, nothing will hurt you in this space, okay?
no subject
Date: 2023-11-11 07:17 am (UTC)When nothing happens except Zack's quiet, soothing voice slowly pushing through the things he'd seen and felt in his nightmare, reality steadily filtering in.
Instead of taking his hand, Leon reaches out to touch Zack's face. In his dream, half of his face had been gone, ripped away before he'd turned. He looks fine now. Whole.] Zack?
[It's all coming back now. The sleepover, the terrible TV show. He lets his hand drop to his side again before rubbing it over his face, his breathing steadily evening out.] Sorry... I told you this would happen... [He sounds disappointed. Embarrassed. He hates that this is a thing.] I'm alright.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-12 04:18 pm (UTC)[He opens his eyes once more and places his own hand over the one on his face but Leon drops it before he can. Instead he does now reach for that hand and entwine their fingers together.] It's fine, I'm okay with this Leon. You aren't the first I've seen have issues sleeping like this. I'm actually trained in it, that's why I invited you over. I just thought if I told you that earlier you might avoid it but I want to help you. Is it okay if I hug you? Tell me what you need right now and keep the steady breathing okay? You're doing great.
[He keeps encouraging him, smiling the entire time as a way to show how honest he is in this moment. He does mean it that Leon's doing good. He wishes he could just wrap him in his arms and take all the pain away right now.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-13 05:30 am (UTC)I thought you were a soldier? You're a shrink, too?
[He shakes his head, flashes of how Zack had looked, pressing in closer trying to rip his throat out.] No. Please don't. [His voice is quick and quiet, pulling his hand away to tuck his knees up against his chest and wrap his arms around them.]
I'm fine. I think I might get up for a bit. [If he was in his own place or even his Dominant's, he'd grab a drink right about now. Drinking was one of the only things he found that really helped him stop thinking. He's guessing Zack doesn't have anything.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-13 02:02 pm (UTC)[He makes sure to take a step away from Leon and get off the bed himself. He goes to his closet to grab another blanket and holds it up so Leon can see.]
I'm going to make us something to drink, can I put this blanket on you? I want you to stay and don't move too much alright? I'll be in the kitchen if you need me.
[He has a feeling Leon wants to flee and while it might help in the here and now of things it won't if he flees so Zack wants him stayed and comfortable while he makes them both hot chocolate. He has a feeling though that Leon really doesn't want to look at him right now and that hurts a little but he isn't going to say anything on it, Leon's already stressed enough.] Do you like whipped cream?
no subject
Date: 2023-11-14 03:38 am (UTC)Something to drink? [For a fleeting moment, Leon is actually hopeful that Zack 'prescribes' to the same treatment to this sort of thing as he does, but he can only think of a few drinks someone would put whipped cream on.
He does wrap the blanket around him, more for Zack than because he thinks it'll help or that he needs it. He'd prefer to come with Zack, but he nods.] Yeah, whipped cream is fine.
[As soon as Zack is out of the room, he gets up and goes into the en suite running the water and splashing a bit over his face before looking at himself in the mirror. He silently tells himself to get his shit together and then heads back to the bed, sitting back down but forgetting the blanket.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-14 02:05 pm (UTC)As he's making their late night treat he hears movement in the room and then the water running. It seems Leon did move and he sighs but he can't blame the guy. He hasn't made himself or this space a safe space yet for Leon. So he carries the drinks back in and hands one to Leon before putting his own down.]
It's still hot okay? So just need to blow on it first.
[He smiles for a moment, looking at Leon and his uncovered self and so he goes to the bathroom to grab the discarded blanket. He then goes to the other side of the bed and puts the blanket in his lap, fiddling with it a little.]
If you want, you can lean against me again or something. I won't force contact but if you want it I'm right here.
[He only moves to get his own hot cocoa and then he's blowing on his in the silence of the room.]
Would you like to talk about it, or do you want to hear a story?
no subject
Date: 2023-11-15 05:09 am (UTC)He's definitely had much worse.] What is it?
[He's praying for hot cider but he doesn't think he'll be that lucky. He takes the mug, peering at it.] Hot chocolate?
[His gaze falls to the blanket, not even realizing it had slipped off while he'd been in the bathroom.] Sorry.
[He actually nods, but doesn't immediately move.] I don't want to talk about it. We can talk about something else. [He's not sold on the whole story thing. He does, however, shift slightly until his leg bumps up against Zack's. It's not much, but it already feels like a grounding point.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-15 03:17 pm (UTC)[He's trying and when Leon does move a little closer so their legs touch, Zack doesn't hide his smile but doesn't pull him closer either.] No need to be sorry, you've done nothing wrong at all.
[He takes a sip of his drink, getting a bit of whipped cream on his upper lip that he licks off.] Talk about something else...got it....[He pauses and looks down at the camouflaged marshmallows in the whipped cream.]
Do you like the dick mallows? I thought they were funny so I bought them.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-18 02:17 am (UTC)[Leon's lips press tightly together for a moment when Zack tries to reassure him, telling him he hasn't done anything wrong. But it just doesn't feel that way. Having a nightmare, sure, they happen. But he doesn't understand why they haven't stopped, why some people can go through what he had and more and not be the broken mess he's ended up. That feels like his fault. Like he should be stronger. Better.
Zack's question does succeed in getting him out of his own head and he slurps on some of the whipped cream if only to get it out of the way so he can see one of the melty little dicks floating there and snorts softly, cracking a tired smile.] Yeah, they're pretty great.
Is that the only dick-themed food you got? The cereal I have is also dick shaped. [In fact, it seemed like dicks were just the go to shape of a lot of things. Dicks and boobs.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-20 05:40 pm (UTC)[He takes another sip and nearly spits it out when he hears about dick cereal] You have cereal like that?!? Oh man now we have to go shopping together. You have to show me it, that sounds so funny!
[He does decide then that he really likes Leon's little laugh. It wasn't too loud but he still picked it up and had his face tint a little pink.] Your smile really suits you Leon. [The words kind of just come out and he goes a little more pink in the face.] I mean not that you don't look good without it either, it just looks nice I think! I just think I'd like to see it more and I'm glad I caused it this time is all!
no subject
Date: 2023-11-20 07:54 pm (UTC)Mmhmm. Honey Nut Dicks.
[It's not even a joke, it's literally what they're called here.
Zack's compliment catches him by surprise and he blinks owlishly at him for a moment before blushing a little himself.] Thanks.
[He looks thoughtful, even frowning slightly, at what Zack says. His smiles had been pretty fleeting since Raccoon City... and the government intervention afterward.] It's a little easier here. [He feels like he's admitting to something, but it's true. As awful as this place could be, it was a different kind of awful from home. But he gives Zack a smirk.] Keep playing your cards right and maybe you'll get a few more.
[He sets the mug down on the bedside table and without saying a word, leans against Zack, nudging just a little at the perfect height for him to put his arm around his shoulders if he wanted, letting out a long exhale as he relaxed. He's not sure he wants to keep talking, or what to talk about, but he wants Zack to know he's done a good job, that this had helped.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-20 08:04 pm (UTC)[Zack's laughing so hard he almost missed Leon giving him that smirk and he does fully miss the blush on the other mans face. He's wiping a fake tear from his eye from laughing so hard and puts his cup of cocoa away.]
I hope I do. Your smile's worth it.
[He had wanted to hug Leon then but in a turn of event, the man leans on him and he turns red. He takes the hint and does wrap and arm around Leon, still sitting up and letting him lay against him as much as he wants.]
Hey Leon...mind if I put the tv on mute in here for a bit?
[His voice is softer as he asks. If Leon falls back asleep he wants to stay awake to make sure he can stop the bad dreams before they come and tv will help him stay awake if they sort of cuddle like they are right now.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-21 07:12 am (UTC)Once Zack has the laughter out of his system, he does get hit with a wave of sudden exhaustion, the adrenaline from his nightmare having subsided and leaving him drained. He gets comfortable against Zack, immediately feeling the warmth radiating from his body pleasantly against his side, only making him sleepier. The weight of his arm only makes it better.]
Mmhmm. Don't worry about muting it. I fall asleep with the TV on all the time. [The noise helps. People talking. He likes that. Or maybe he's just passed out on his couch so many times at this point that his brain has rewired to want the noise.
Muted or not, he knows he's going to nod off pretty quickly and he barely makes it five minutes into the show before he's back asleep. Somewhere between breathing heavily and lightly snoring, he shifts to put his arm around Zack.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-22 01:15 pm (UTC)Alright, I'll keep it low and watch over you okay? [He turns the tv on, getting comfortable with Leon at his side and even leans a bit to place a kiss on the top of his head as he focuses on the random show and not at the handsome man in his arms currently.
Zack keeps his promise and stays up, not really getting too tired and focused on the show and Leon's breathing. The snoring is adorable and he keeps trying to focus more on the show. The man doesn't want anything extra with him, he's trying not to get a little attached but it's okay if they are friends right? Holding a friend who needs comfort isn't always romantic, he just has to keep reminding himself that.
With Leon almost hugging him in his sleep, Zack goes a little stiff for a moment, caught off guard but he quickly melts into the touch and just smiles, looking down at the sleeping man in his arms.]
Sweet dreams Leon
[He gives him a little bit of a squeeze before he adjusts the blankets on them more and shifts a bit so he can fully hold the other man, cuddling him like he's wanted to since he woke up from that nightmare.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-24 07:41 am (UTC)He's not quite awake enough yet to realize who is pressed up against him, but he sleepily reaches behind him to gently palm him through his pajamas. Part of him likely assumes its Hermes. They're big, the cock heavy in his hand as he teases him.
He makes a quiet noise before shifting, pressing his back more fully against their chest and pulling their arm around him, wanting to feel more snuggly held against them. At this point, he's half hard too but he doesn't want to bother his partner any more, they'll both be ready to wake up eventually.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-24 03:25 pm (UTC)He's been out enough for his own dream and it is the first one since he's come to duplicity that doesn't have him feeling sad. Instead he dreams of Aerith and her flowers in the church. The light shines through the cracks in the roof, illuminating Aerith as if she were a heavenly angel. She smiles at him, a look that looks far too knowing and one he was never really able to read. She points at the door behind her and Zack's attention turns there. It's Leon walking in. The two of them talk and Zack can't help but think Leon seems to fit so well in this broken down holy place that others have forgotten. Aerith leads Leon to the flowers and places one on his head. Zack can't hear what they are talking about but he does see Leon look at him and smile and his heart feels like he skips a beat. It's a bigger smile than he's seen on the man and he starts to walk towards him and Zack waits with open arms. He hugs Leon and in his sleep gives the man a squeeze as well.
With Leon moving closer to him and starting to rub against him, Zack's dream starts to get spicier too. Leon's kissing him again like he did before, those soft lips against his are so much better than he thought any mans lips would ever be against his. He feels amazing and Zack holds him tighter in the embrace of the dream.
He shifted at some point, moreso spooning Leon from behind and with kiss in his dream, Zack's moving his head to nuzzle against Leon's neck. A bit of skin is exposed there and his lips brush against it, leaving the sleepiest of kisses there as he mumbles in his sleep.
The dream turns heavier as Leon starts to rub against him. In his dream Leon is rubbing him through his pants, asking for more, wanting to feel Zack's affections. It has the man practically dry humping Leon in his sleep. His grip keeps him in place as his hard big cock keeps rubbing against Leon's ass and back. ]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-24 09:08 pm (UTC)Zack. [His voice is soft, barely a breathy whispered exhale. He's got to be awake, too, right? At least that's his assumption.
He moves Zack's hand lower, wanting to be touched as Zack practically fucks him through their clothes. He reaches behind him, cupping the bulge in Zack's pajamas to massage his balls as he works his cock against him.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-25 09:08 am (UTC)The dream is going fine until he hears his name. It does start to wake him a little but Zack's stuck trying to tell dream from reality. Leon in his dream starts to darken, the sunlight from before no longer shining on him. He says something that Zack can't hear but it hurts all the same. He feels like he might cry.
In his sleep Zack's thrusting starts to stop as he actually whimpers, his grip on Leon tightens as if afraid to let go. He even mumbles once more in his sleep, inbetween the whimpering.]
N-no....stay....le-...
no subject
Date: 2023-11-26 08:45 am (UTC)Zack... I'm not going anywhere. [He starts to reassure him but the whimpers strike him as strange and it's only then that it hits him that Zack is the one having a dream now.
He turns in his arms, putting a hand on his shoulder, squeezing to try to wake him.] Zack. Zack, wake up. It's alright, you're just dreaming.
no subject
Date: 2023-11-26 01:11 pm (UTC)The pressure does start to wake him up and his glowing blue eyes do start to open, watery and looking like he might cry. Leon's the first thing he focuses on when his eyes open and he still thinks it's a dream. It's too similar to it for him to think otherwise.]
Leon, please don't hate me. I like you.
[He really does look like he might start crying and he pulls the man closer and kisses him deeply, better than the previous kiss they shared. He keeps an arm around that waist, and a hand in Leon's short hair as he presses against him, facing each other has their cocks rubbing.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 07:21 am (UTC)It's okay. I don't hate you. You were just dreaming. [He tries to reassure him, carding his fingers through Zack's hair.
He's a little surprised when Zack pulls him into a kiss. He definitely doesn't resist, leaning eagerly into the kiss with a soft groan. Pushing closer, he slips his hand up Zack's chest. Their hips flush together, he shifts to ease his leg between Zack's, thigh offering him something to grind against.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-27 08:03 pm (UTC)Leon...
[That hand is warm as it sneaks under his shirt and Zack breaks the kiss to take it off, pulling it over his head and then his lips go to seek Leon's once more, so eager to taste him once more. He's moaning into the kiss, as his cock clearly starts to strain against his loose pants. The outline is pretty visible as he rubs it against Leon's offered thigh, his own wrapped tightly around Leon as the kisses deepen into full on tongue. Leon's sweet, so incredibly sweet to Zack that he feels like he almost can't handle it. He needs more, wants more.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-29 07:23 pm (UTC)He shifts slightly to let Zack tug his shirt off. Leon had worn his boxer-briefs to bed but nothing else and feeling his skin warm against his own is electric. He parts his lips into the kiss, moaning soft and low against Zack's mouth.
Leon can feel him pushing and grinding up against him, so he snakes his other hand between them, cupping and then practically stroking him through the loose pants. He doesn't tease for long, easily slipping his fingers under the waist band of his pants, loosely wrapping his hand around his shaft to start stroking him, giving Zack more to thrust against.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-29 07:43 pm (UTC)Ah..ngh...
[He moans into the kisses as those lips part and their tongues meet in a heated dance, trying to touch as much as they can of eachother. His hands trail lower down Leon's back, grapping his butt not to squeeze but to keep him in place as he thrusts against the warm hand in his pants and that leg. He's not sweating but his body feels hot and slowly Zack is starting to come through the haze of his sleep but not enough yet to stop. In facnt he moves quicker, so close to an orgasm already.]
no subject
Date: 2023-11-30 07:54 pm (UTC)Leon squeezes him each time he thrusts up through his fingers, pumping his length with each one. The kiss feels needy and hungry, especially as Zack's movements speed up and get more frantic. He groans again into the kiss as he sweeps the pad of his thumb over the head of Zack's cock, feeling how slick he is with precum. Pushing his other hand into Zack's hair, he tugs gently, grinding his own hips down against him.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-05 02:24 am (UTC)Zack thrusts a few more times, the clarity of being awake quickly hitting him but it's already too late. He's about to climax. His eyes widen and he is about to pull away from Leon but the way the man grinds down against him in return, the way that thumb presses against the head of his cock sends him over and he climaxes hard against Leon's hand and his own pants.
He's panting as the fog takes over his thoughts, actually breathing heavy for once and still rubbing against Leon to get him to climax too. His body works more on it's own instincts then on what Zack thinks he should be doing.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 02:35 am (UTC)Good morning to you, too. [He chuckles before working his way back to Zack's mouth, sucking lightly on his lower lip as he grinds against him. Zack's body meets his and he rolls his hips back into Zack's hand that's still resting lightly on his ass. What he'd give for him to squeeze him again, craving his touch.
He's leaking a spot of precum against his boxer-briefs though, hard and getting closer. He's just not sure if grinding against Zack will do it.]
Z... need you... [He mumbles quietly.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 01:50 pm (UTC)Leon's soft mumble pulls at his heart strings as he goes along with it only for Leon. He holds him tighter, breaking their kiss to instead hide his face against the crook of Leon's neck. He feels so bad he can't stop the shaky tremble of his voice as he holds Leon and keeps rubbing against him to try and get him off as recompense for what he did.]
I-I...I'm here Leon....I'm here...
no subject
Date: 2023-12-08 04:04 am (UTC)Hey, you good? [His own voice is soft, concerned. He's stilled aside from running his fingers through Zack's hair. He shifts slightly, trying to move so he can look Zack in the face.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-08 06:06 am (UTC)With the climax faded, Zack is thinking more clearly and it pains him that he did this. He hides his face further and doesnt come out.]
I didn't want to be a fling! I like you Leon, I like you a lot. I didn't...I promised I wouldn't...and yet....
[He pulls back to rub at his eyes and looks at Leon directly, looking like he might break down into tears at any moment.]
I'm so sorry.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-08 07:35 am (UTC)It's not- [He sighs, unsure how to explain things, how to explain himself, or this.] No, I'm sorry. I thought you were into it.
But it's not like we're just going to do this and then I'll disappear, y'know? Unless the city has other plans for me, I'm not planning on going anywhere.
It's not like a one-night stand or anything.
[He's not sure anything he's saying, trying to say, is helping at all, but when Zack shifts so he can look into his face, he gets an uncomfortable lump in his throat. He shakes his head, hating seeing Zack like this.] You don't have anything to apologize for.
We can pretend this didn't happen if you want. Or... not. I don't know. I don't know, Zack. I don't know how to make this better.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-10 10:39 am (UTC)[It pains him to think that this is probably all hes ever gong to get with Leon, a dream of what he could have.]
I...I know you aren't going anywhere but you said you didn't want to date me. How is that not a one night stand?
[He's trying so hard not to have those tears welling up in his eyes fall.]
I dont...I don't understand it.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-11 04:51 am (UTC)And it's not you. I don't want to date anyone here. Forming a relationship here... I just don't think it's a good idea. I know you have your reasons to want to do it, but I have my reasons for not wanting to.
[He tries to disentangle himself from Zack a little, sliding off of him and letting him go so he can sit on the bed and look at Zack instead of holding him while straddling him.]
I don't understand it either, honestly. What's the big deal if we're good friends and sometimes sleep with one another? What's the difference? You can still romance someone. That someone just doesn't have to be me.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-11 02:26 pm (UTC)I want to sleep with someone who likes me...maybe even loves me. I don't want to sleep with someone who doesn't. It's special to me...I know it's stupid in this place to think it special but I can't change how I feel about it.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-12 05:54 am (UTC)I know, I know. [He grumbles, trying not to sound too frustrated.] You say that like I don't even like you or something.
[He gets up, needing to put more space between them for a minute. Maybe they both needed that, maybe not, but he heads for the bathroom, closing the door gently so he can wash his face with some cold water, shrugging off the last lingering inklings of desire and heat that had built up. He's only gone for a moment, half a minute at most, before he comes back out of the bathroom.]
Seems like I should get out of here. [He offers, looking Zack over.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-13 01:22 pm (UTC)[Zack can't look at Leon right now, not cause of what Leon's done. Instead he just stays in the bed while Leon heads to the bathroom. He doesn't really say much else and when Leon walks back out he just watches him for a moment and still doesn't move.
It's when Leon is about to leave that he gets up, throwing the blankets off him as he runs after Leon and grabs him from behind.]
Wait...can we...we're still friends right?
no subject
Date: 2023-12-15 07:53 am (UTC)Huh? Yeah. Zack... yeah, man. [He puts his hand over Zack's arm, giving him a reassuring pat.] Just seemed like you could use some space.
I told you, I wasn't planning on disappearing on you.
I'm sure we'll hang out soon. And... Zack... I just... - try not to beat yourself up about this, ok?
no subject
Date: 2023-12-15 03:50 pm (UTC)[He holds Leon a little tighter, his hands holding onto Leon's own hand. He so badly just wants to just stay like this and get to give Leon the affection he deserves but he won't push. Leon drew a line and he will follow it, though sadly.]
You're leaving though right now...I guess I can't keep you longer, you aren't my contract...we're just friends.
[He lets go of Leon and takes a step back then. He sighs and puts on a smile for Leon even if he rather not at the moment.]
I won't beat myself up...promise.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-16 07:11 am (UTC)I... I can stick around for a bit if you really want. I just thought you'd like... [He pauses, feeling like he sounds like a broken record.]- some space. Some time to clean up.
[Leon isn't buying the smile, turning to look at Zack with a sigh as he crosses his arms.] Did you... wanna clean up while I make some breakfast? And coffee. I could use some coffee.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-16 10:55 am (UTC)[He's a little sad that Leon thinks he'd stoop so low. His smile does fade a little and he looks towards the bathroom.]
I can wash up. I don't have many ingredients but I do have waffles. I bought some coffee too if you want.
[He is a little glad the coffee will get use. He bought it for others and not himself.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-17 05:29 am (UTC)[He nods, heading toward the kitchen. He washes his hands before starting to poke around, finding the waffles and some syrup and the coffee grounds. He can work with this.
It only takes a few minutes to get everything close to ready, so he goes hunting for the dishes.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-17 02:16 pm (UTC)It smells really good.
[He comes out of the shower, still a little damp and clothes sticking to him in places. He wants to go up to Leon and hug him tenderly from behind, kiss his cheek and be sweet but he doesn't, instead unsure what he should do exactly.]
Thank you Leon.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-18 01:10 am (UTC)Hopefully, it tastes good. I don't do waffles much.
[He turns, two plates loaded up. His gaze briefly grazes down Zack's chest where the shirt clings to him like a second skin. He just hopes his quick glance hadn't been too obvious.] You got syrup? Butter?
[In the meantime, he walks over to the table and sets the plates down, sinking down onto one of the chairs.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-18 12:52 pm (UTC)Thanks again, I usually burn these.
[He looks like he wants to say more but he doesn't. To Zack though he does want to say how nice it was to kiss those lips. He might stare a little at Leon's lips as he eats, a faint blush on his face.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-19 03:05 am (UTC)I'm usually a bacon and eggs guy myself. Or sausages. [He adds the last bit as he shoves a forkful of waffle into his mouth, talking around the food before starting to chew.]

I met this one guy whose a cat person and he looked so lost and didn't have any winter clothes so I kind of hope I can maybe ask him. There was also this guy I went to the diner with where I got the same bacon for bonehead. Oh! did you want some?
[He holds up the almost empty bag.]
It's good! But yeah the diner guy was kind of....
[He just smiles to himself a little and hugs his knees tighter.]
I liked him too.

Date: 2023-12-07 03:36 pm (UTC)[At least he doesn't think it's a crush but he would like to see them more and spend time with them more often. He really enjoyed the time he spent with them both. He'd like to keep them safe too, help them out so he would be happy to take them both on as his contracts if they wanted to.]
I want to make sure they get to be themselves and not worry about being submissives so I just wanna help. They both were fun to hang out with though.

Whose the lucky guy??

Date: 2023-12-07 05:34 pm (UTC)[He smiles and sorta hugs-pats back. Dude, c'mon. Be cool.]
Also goes by Mysterio sometimes.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 05:38 pm (UTC)[The hugs aren't like the ones from the other day and he does let go of Chris after a few pats in return]
I'm really happy for you man, seriously. Oh maybe you can get him flowers, I can deliver them for you too.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 05:39 pm (UTC)[Even though it's not very manly or whatever.]
I just need to think of something to put on the card.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 05:42 pm (UTC)[He did have a girlfriend once and she loved flowers.]
How about something like "You make me feel like the most special guy in this world" and then you can sign it love Chris?
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 05:45 pm (UTC)"Dude, you can blast my dick anytime"? Heart Chris.
It's kind of an inside joke.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 05:47 pm (UTC)If it's an inside joke then I bet he'd love it.
Actually you know what? I think I might get G'raha flowers too. Even if he doesn't want to contract with me he can have some pretty flowers to make his room look nicer anyway. What do you think?
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 05:48 pm (UTC)I bet he'll like it. And if he doesn't that's his problem.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 05:51 pm (UTC)[He smiles at the thought, he's for sure gonna ask Ororo for some help.]
What about for Quentin? Do you have flowers in mind?
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 05:54 pm (UTC)[He's quiet for a moment, thinking.]
I don't know much about flowers but they've gotta be a mix of purple and red ones. After our superhero and supervillain uniforms. Maybe with some blue, white and yellow thrown in 'cause I've got those too.
no subject
Date: 2023-12-07 07:16 pm (UTC)[He gets a bit starry eyed at Chris' idea for flowers.]
Chris that's so romantic! I think we can totally do a colorful bouquet like that. Quentin's going to love it. Do you want me to maybe give you the flowers so you can see his face and give them to him yourself?
no subject
Date: 2023-12-08 06:10 am (UTC)[And way less scary to him personally. He has toxic masculinity, okay? He's not supposed to give guys flowers.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-08 01:18 pm (UTC)[If Chris said that out loud Zack would tell him it's more manly to give flowers himself.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-08 01:19 pm (UTC)[He slings an arm over Zack's shoulders, giving him a friendly jostle.]
no subject
Date: 2023-12-08 01:58 pm (UTC)[Zack just smiles and leans into the jostle, enjoying the physical touch.]

no subject
Date: 2024-03-04 07:31 pm (UTC)I'm okay. ( he doesn't need zack fussing over him. ) Is now really a good time?
( obviously he's got things to do since he's dressed for work. )
no subject
Date: 2024-03-04 07:45 pm (UTC)[He goes over to Cloud and hugs him, resting his chin on top of Cloud's head and laughing a little.]
You have no idea how happy I was to get that message this morning. You did worry me a little since it was so out of the blue but I'm really happy.
no subject
Date: 2024-03-04 08:07 pm (UTC)I've been thinking about it since you asked me. ( because of course he has. ) I just...
( cloud trails off for a moment, leaning back to look at him. for some reason, his heart is starting to race. )
I want to be close to you. ( so he can take care of him in return. )
no subject
Date: 2024-03-04 08:10 pm (UTC)I'm glad, I'm sorry again if I asked you too soon. It just seemed natural we would...you know?
[He notices that look in Cloud's eyes and his own face starts to turn a bit pink in the cheeks.]
C-close? You mean like...close living together right?
[His dirty newly sex riddled mind doesn't think so.]
or...do you mean another way?
no subject
Date: 2024-03-04 08:26 pm (UTC)but those following questions catch him off-guard. )
...Whatever way you want to be.
( it's a low whisper, hesitating for just a second before leaning up to kiss him carefully on the mouth. )

Date: 2024-03-04 08:56 pm (UTC)now... it's like a flipped switch.
the heat of zack's mouth pulls at something deep in his chest, and cloud eagerly pushes up to meet him, gasping into the kiss when zack pins him to the wall. still, he moves, curling his arms around his neck and urging zack closer. it's such a pain he's so short in comparison, but all he's thinking about is zack, wanting to be close to him and for zack to want that too. )

Date: 2024-03-04 09:10 pm (UTC)no subject
Date: 2024-03-04 09:20 pm (UTC)cloud knows he's wanted something like this for a while: experiencing someone without aphro or some other outside factor pushing him to do this. it's not even strange that they're doing this now, before zack has work and just minutes after deciding to contract for real. it feels good, and he wants — )
Zack.
( it's a soft sound in response to that moan, warm and incredibly turned on at the prospect of more, and with his legs curling around him, cloud is free to get his hands down between them, fumbling with the fastenings of zack's uniform with a murmured 'off'. )
no subject
Date: 2024-03-06 03:40 pm (UTC)He feels Cloud's legs wrap around his waist and Zack's eager to hold him tighter too, keeping an arm around his waist tightly as the other grabs his jaw and forces Cloud to look up at him to keep kissing him. It's maybe more demanding than anything Cloud thought Zack capable of, it's not vanilla or soft like he's been.]
Cloud
[He whines almost too needy as that hand on his jaw travels to Cloud's head and tugs down so he can expose his neck more. Zack takes the chance to bite, kiss and suck at Cloud's neck as the others hands fumble to undress him. Zack's totally turned on and horny and the little glimpses of his mako eyes that Cloud gets when he looks up at him has those irises glowing as bright as if he just got an injection. There is a deep hunger in the way he glimpses at Cloud, as if ready to devour him completely but like a good dog is waiting for the command from it's master.]
no subject
Date: 2024-03-06 05:19 pm (UTC)there's a sharper gasp of surprise at the heat of zack's mouth on his throat, the sting of his teeth doing something to him. turning him on, and yet... it's so much more than that, straining to be even closer to him and realizing he doesn't have much room to maneuver with zack pinning him to the wall. )
Wait, ( he breathes, a soft command to steady zack's eagerness. ) Let me help.
( if he wants him, cloud is ready to give him exactly that. but his thoughts are focused on getting them undressed, unable to swallow the shiver that tears through him when he looks zack in the eyes. how much is he holding back? does he actually want to know? cloud's stronger than he was when zack had known him, but he isn't entirely sure how much he can take, unable to still his hands as he pushes down the sleeves of his uniform and then beneath the tight material of zack's undershirt to try to pull it up. )
no subject
Date: 2024-03-06 05:44 pm (UTC)His teeth grace that slender neck once more and he bites him again, pressing his body flat against the wall and the erection in his pants rubbing against Cloud's ass at his angle. He dry humps him a few times, a whimpering noise leaving him as he's touched but then Cloud touches his shirt and it seems to snap zack a bit back to reality enough for him to pull away and focus on what he's doing. His own eyes are dilated wide and dark despite the intense glow and he looks at the mess he made on Cloud's neck, frowning at himself.]
Cloud....did I hurt you?
[his voice is heavier, still clearly aroused and husky but he does lean in to lick at some of the marks he left, leaving kisses on the worst ones.]
Don't....don't take my shirt off....you won't like it..
[He mumbles between the kisses, his actions a little less frenzied as he gets out of his uniform sleeves so that the bottom of his suit is hanging low on him, the hints of the underwear he's wearing showing and the tip of his hard, aroused dick peeking through.]
no subject
Date: 2024-03-06 06:03 pm (UTC)he wants zack too much to put it into words. )
Why? ( he's clearly not thinking about the answer to his own question. ) What's —
( his fingers graze over the recognizable feel of scar tissue when zack's shirt is partially up his torso, and cloud sucks in a careful breath, suddenly knowing why and overwhelmed with emotion. it doesn't translate to his face so much as his eyes, staring at zack and wounded by the realization of just how much zack had suffered before he'd died.
he sighs and presses his palm flat against his belly before abandoning his attempt at removing zack's clothes. )
I won't if you don't want me to. It's okay.
( he'd like to see all of zack, but he doesn't mind this either, pushing his hand beneath the band of his underwear to grip his cock and squeeze. mostly in an effort to distract him, but also to rekindle the mood and not lament over the past. he'd done that for years, and right now, he only wants to focus on zack in the present. )
no subject
Date: 2024-03-10 02:03 pm (UTC)C-cloud...
[He feels the hand move to his cock and he moans so deeply, wanting more of that. He does take a chance though and with a shift he does peel the shirt the rest of the way off him. His body is covered in healed up scars, some clearly older than the rest and not each one is from his final stand but those wounds still look a little fresh.]
I..don't want to hide anything from you...not right now.
[Worried of how Cloud might react he kisses him again, not yet ready to hear his response.]
no subject
Date: 2024-03-22 03:54 pm (UTC)this is what had happened to him all those years ago. how zack had protected him, tried to save them both. some part of cloud hates that he recalls zack's death so vividly, that it's one of the few things that's unmistakable in the mess of his head, and he's conscious of the emotion welling up in his chest, in his face. the burn in his eyes even as zack sweeps him up in a kiss before he can say anything.
when they part to breathe, his fingers find their way to zack's belly and then to that place over his heart. )
You're beautiful.
( it's a whisper, soft and aching but honest. he'd never lie to zack and hopes he can one day see how much he cares about him. )
no subject
Date: 2024-03-22 05:05 pm (UTC)Beautiful?
[He mimics the word and looks down at where Cloud's pale hand is against his darker, scar riddled chest. He shakes his head in a no and places his own hand over Cloud's.]
You're the one whose beautiful. You've always been.
no subject
Date: 2024-03-22 05:30 pm (UTC)there's so much he hasn't said to him or told him. there's so much building inside of him that cloud doesn't know what to do with it either, lips parting and then pressing together as his fingers curl lightly beneath zack's hand. what now? what should he do? )
Zack —
( he nudges their noses together, so close to kissing him but hovering just there. he needs to say this. )
I want you. ( and the pause that follows is muted by the careful brush of his mouth to zack's. ) No matter what.
no subject
Date: 2024-04-29 07:55 pm (UTC)He knows they should talk more, say something about the elephant in the room that's what happened to them but not now. the scars being called beautiful are enough for him he thinks in this moment.]
...Cloud...
[His voice is breathy as he pulls away for a moment to whisper his name in between the kisses as he works on pushing his jumpsuit lower on his hips so he can try and free his cock. They should go to a bed but he can't think of that right now. He's so happy with Cloud right now in this moment and doesn't want anything to break that, not even moving to a bed.]

Please, enjoy this.

Date: 2025-06-11 12:02 am (UTC)As I said in my note, I also gift to my people on my birthday. I am their master after all, it is my job to take care of them and keep them happy. We normally have quite large and expensive celebrations for all to enjoy. I cannot do that here right now, so I chose those I am closest with so far to give a gift to, and that includes you.
[Don't move?] I am currently at work in the Down, I shall wait here for you.
