[Dohalim/Gepard] I don't know how to feel...
[Dohalim wouldn't necessarily call it a chaotic disarray currently, but the sudden departure of one of his captains is, understandably, enough to shake the knights. Serval was truly one of his best, and one who upheld his ideals of coexistence to their core. so it was a surprise to receive her resignation letter, and a quick word of appreciation for the opportunity to serve under him; before he could say anything to try to convince her to change her mind, she was off. though, Dohalim is sure that anything he could have said would have been met with decline. the Landaus, for all their loyalty in serving the il Qaras family for generations (despite their own nobility), are a stubborn folk, and once they've made up their mind on anything, there would be no convincing them of otherwise.
honestly, even if the decision was abrupt, Dohalim knows that she'll be fine. that isn't what's on his mind as he heads down the ornate hallway to the barracks. perhaps a visit paid by him will lift the knights' spirits, but really, he has every intention on seeing one person. Gepard... Serval is his sister, after all. he's not sure what the man is thinking, if he knew of her resignation long before she had made it official, or if this came to just as a surprise to him as everyone else. either way, it would be nice to see Gepard and offer whatever words he can to him.
of course, as soon as he enters the barracks, he's bombarded with questions and requests by the other guards, wondering just what will happen, and how Serval's unit will be taken care of. as much as he wants to brush them aside to look for Gepard, he just can't, in good faith, so it seems like he'll be here for a while. oh well, what kind of leader would he be if he didn't listen to his people?]

no subject
but Dohalim also doesn't want to overwhelm him more than he probably already is; his hands slide back up to gently rest on the other man's chest, thumbs rubbing small circles on heated skin in an attempt to soothe. it's when Dohalim thinks he's swallowed down every bit of Gepard that he lifts his head up again, a pleased smile on his face as he licks his lips]
Hm... I take it back. Even divinity is not enough to describe you. You are magnificent.
[dipping his head back down, Dohalim peppers soft kisses along Gepard's navel, up to his chest. moving, he can definitely feel the ache of his own still hard cock, but he won't ask Gepard to relieve it. not when he's sure the man is a little worn out. and the way he does want to relieve himself... he's not sure Gepard would be ready for that... so he'll figure it out later]
no subject
But... hands soothe up his torso, and even without him pressing down he stays there. It seems... it seems the young lord was being quite earnest. And he, in turn, finds himself a little sensitive by the time the man pulls away, breath slowing to faintly shuddery pants.]
I'm... you are too kind. [He still wants to ask, to ensure he's alright, but...] that was... I don't think I have the words.
[It's written all over his face, though. His cheeks are still pink, but there's a relaxation to him that's rare to see, at best. It flickers with still lingering want as Dohalim kisses his way up his chest, fingers sliding down the man's back as he moves upward.
... and of course, despite his currently softening cock and the pleasure of orgasm, he hasn't forgotten Dohalim's own need. He's not stupid, and he still wants to...]
I... [how does he say it? Gepard isn't unused to feeling clumsy, but... his voice is a little shy when he speaks.] is there still more you'd like to do? It... is quite early in the night, after all...
no subject
but Dohalim lets out a soft sigh, lifting his head up enough to look at the man under him]
Ah... There are... so many things I would like to do to and with you. However... I feel like it might be too much for our first time together.
[there are several implications here, including the fact that Dohalim doesn't want this to be a one time thing. he wants to feel inside him as well as feel the blond inside him as well, he wants those strong arms wrapped around him, pinning their bodies close together as they reach their climaxes together, he wants to yell out Gepard's name over and over again until it's the only thing he knows. but it would be too much, surely...]
If you would allow me to be honest... I want to take you completely. I want to be the one to covet you, I want to bury myself so deep in you. I've... Wanted it for so long... I've wanted you for so long.
But I can also understand if this is too much. You do not have to say yes.
no subject
Dohalim...
[he takes each implication in stride, thinking on it all. the idea of it not being a one-time thing... ah, what an exhilarating thought. there's a lot he only knows in passing, but when it comes to this...
when it comes to the thought of Dohalim's mouth on him, his hands touching all over, can he claim not to be almost... impatient for it? the idea of being coveted is new, and hearing that the redhead has wanted it for so long?]
... It isn't too much. [there's that breathiness to his voice again, hands reaching up to cup Dohalim's face gently.] I'm able to handle being a little overwhelmed, you know... but I want all of this. I can't... begin to say how long I've wanted to admit how I feel to you, let alone be here.
[even if he didn't know what to expect, that thought has been there for a long time. he'd just thought he was too old, or too rigid, or too... something. anything. Dohalim deserves so much more than his clumsy inexperience. but if he'll have him...]
no subject
I've... I've wanted this for so long. [he repeats himself, as if trying to tell himself that he does deserve this, even though their respective positions make this a taboo] Since before we left Lenegis, I've...
[perhaps he'd always felt something with Gepard, but just denied himself that. he's sure that even back home, if they were to pursue some sort of relationship with each other, that the both of them would be looked down upon for it. so maybe that's why he never said anything... but here, in Menancia, there's a sort of freedom with that... it's just... their positions...
he can overlook it for now, but how long can he push that thought aside before it comes back to nip at his heels? would it be fair to Gepard if they were to keep this as a secret affair? could he possibly ask him of that?]
...Are you sure, Gepard? Would you let me take you?
no subject
I... I have to admit I'm still surprised by that. [Exhaling a soft laugh, the blond strokes a thumb along Dohalim's cheek.] To think, I was sure there was no chance, even back home...
[not even speaking socially, really. There was their positions to consider, but it's never been what kept Gepard quiet. It would just be trouble, especially with his job being what it is... but it really does feel different in Menancia. Like he could just... be, a little.
At his question, Gepard can feel that flush returning in force. Does he have to name it again...? He'll get used to that embarrassment eventually. Probably.]
... I'm sure, Dohalim. I want to... I'll give you anything I can. Myself is certainly included.
[There's some lingering nervousness for him, but he covers it well enough. This time he really has to rely on Dohalim's lead, after all.]
no subject
You don't have to give me anything. Your companionship is more than enough.
[he thinks it would be too selfish to ask for more; he's already asked for so much. he presses a kiss to the corner of the blond's lips, before lifting himself up enough to reach over to his bedside table. he doesn't want to move away from Gepard too much, enjoying his warmth against him. he rifles through it quickly before pulling out a small bottle.
he doesn't do anything with it just yet, but instead lays it to the side for a moment as he sits up on his knees to slip his shirt off, thankful that his sleepwear isn't anything complicated like his regalia is. he does nearly as quick work with his pants, if not a little unceremoniously and tosses it to the side before moving to pull Gepard's off as well. as he sits back on his heels, he commits to memory every part of the man, every faint scar, every curve and dip of muscle defined under pale skin. his own cock twitches at the sight of his form, so ready and willing.
leaning over the other Renan, he settles down onto Gepard again, he lets out a soft sigh, pressing himself against him, to feel his warmth without the barrier of fabric anymore. ah, it's almost perfect... hips grind down gently against Gepard's and Dohalim lets out a soft groan; almost. almost perfect. he gives Gepard a chaste kiss as he rests his forehead against his again]
I should warn you... What comes next may be a little uncomfortable, if not painful. I will do my best to prepare you, but I want you to listen to your body. If it's too much, let me know.
no subject
[he doesn't reach for the man's nickname, not as much as Serval does at least, but in a place like this... well, he's relaxed and comfortable, not to mention pleased to be here. a smile twitches on his lips when Do's meet the corner of them, head tilting to watch curiously as he... pulls out a bottle.
it makes sense, really; there's no way he could just safely take him, after all. Gepard is no fool, though he does feel a little foolish to be staring so... blatantly at the redhead, once he's stripped off his sleepwear. ah... he really is beautiful. practically blemish free, with the musculature to match both his grace and his fighting capability. the fact that he can see it when his dick twitches, when he's just looking over his own naked form, doesn't hurt matters at all.
no, that doesn't hurt matters in the least, and he doesn't bother to mute the shuddery little groan that rises up when hips grind down against his. he's starting to get back to that state of proper arousal, he thinks; either that or his body is just particularly sensitive to the other Renan. lips meet, soft and chaste, and Gepard reaches up to hold along his jaw, thumb brushing his cheek.]
I'll be alright, I'm sure... but I'll let you know. I have... something of a passing understanding as far as what to expect, at least.
[his cheeks turn just a little pink as he thinks back on it, at the way it felt when Do just brushed against him before. it'll only be more embarrassing, he's sure, once he starts reacting to more.]
no subject
Aha... Have you been fantasising about being in bed with me for a while, then?
[Dohalim can't help but tease Gepard, not when the flush on his cheeks is just so cute. it's honestly so nice and refreshing to see the man so relaxed, even moreso when they were up on the hill earlier that evening. it's as if their respective duties have melted away, and that there's nothing else in this world aside from the both of them and their feelings for each other]
I do have to wonder what you've been thinking about...
no subject
[His embarrassment will never fade, at this rate. Dohalim is too got at knocking him off guard, especially in this space where he's already out of his depths.]
To be honest... I didn't think that much beyond lying here with you. Kissing you. I wasn't— entirely sure how anything beyond it would work, let alone what to expect.
[His hands slide around Do's waist, holding him close.]
I just wanted to make you happy, to treat you as sweetly as you deserve. But... I can't say I dislike this position, either.
[It makes some sense, anyway. Gepard is a rigid man when it comes to duties, and with a bloodline as powerful and storied as the Landau's? Everything was practically written in stone. Of course he expected to be the one to sweep his partner off her feet; even if she was a fighter, that etiquette wouldn't change.
And that makes it all the more exciting and confusing, being the one laid in bed and stripped bare.]
no subject
You are already so sweet to me. Just staying with me...
[staying when his other friends had left him. Gepard may say he deserves this closeness, this bond, but it's still hard for Dohalim to believe that, even after all these years.
but that's a thought for some other time, and not when they're both naked on his bed and aroused]
I will say, you are rather cute when you're being sentimental.
no subject
I would never leave you off my own volition, Dohalim.
[It's so much admission so at once, melded into a phrase spoken carefully plainly. If he could, he would turn the world upside down just to stay with him. If Do thinks he's being sentimental now...]
I— I'm not sentimental... [It's a miracle he doesn't huff.] must you tease me so? I can't even be mad at you when you say it so sincerely.
no subject
[little does Gepard know that Dohalim also has so much he wants to admit as well, but... he's not one to really show his emotions and lay them all out on the table for everyone to see. perhaps it's because he's not entirely too sure how, still, even to this day, having relied on his music when he was younger to do so. but he doesn't have that to rely on anymore, and there are just... so many things he wants to say to the man, but... this is already so much. to admit to more would be dangerous, he thinks.
so he'll more than settle for this. this is already so much more than he ever expected to transpire between them]
As for teasing you... You do make it awfully easy, from time to time. [Dohalim chuckles softly as he leans in to mutter in Gepard's ear] However, would you rather I tease you like this?
[he slides a hand down between them, palm lightly cupping Gepard's cock again, fingers subtly rubbing against the base]
no subject
[but he really is so easy to tease sometimes. Dohalim only leans harder into that, the brush of breath prickling his skin and the sound of his voice dragging a shiver through him.]
Doha--lim-
[his voice is so plaintive, a little whine in his tone as the redhead cups his cock, subtle rubbing all too plain to him. ah... ah. that is good, by the expression on his face.]
I can-- admit it's a little less-- embarrassing... haah... only a little...
[it's definitely enough to have his hands sliding up over the other's shoulders, fingers curling pleasantly around them.]
no subject
all the while, Dohalim's hand continues to tease Gepard, fingers going from gentle teasing to wrapping around the length to slowly stroke him to hardness again]
Hm... You are so responsive to every one of my touches, aren't you...
[if Dohalim were honest, though, if their roles were reversed, he's sure he'd be just as responsive. he'd been thinking about this for so long, after all, and he both does not want this night to end, nor does he want this to be a one-off. being with the man makes his heart flutter even just being around him, so for this... Dohalim knows he's about to fall even harder for Gepard]
no subject
[Oh, but he makes such a needy noise as teeth bite down on skin, a hand threading into soft locks amid a tremble that betrays his actual thoughts. It's unfair, being so... responsive. Do is just so adept at finding the right spots, and he can't even be mad at the ache left behind when he pulls away, angry red rising on soft skin.]
I— can't help it— mmnh... [He knows he'll struggle to recall everything Do does, at least enough to replicate it later... but he does intend to try. Right now, all he can think about is how good it feels, how hard he's getting in the younger man's grip.] You're... too good...
[His own movements are clumsy and directionless, but really, it's a miracle he can focus at all. He's considered something adjacent to this for so long too, albeit in reverse... maybe it was hubris, he thinks now, too think he could be so good for their first time together.]
Do... nngh... what else can I— do— for you...
[He's already getting so keyed up, and there's a sort of anxious energy that flows through him with nowhere to escape.]
no subject
[leaning up, he pulls Gepard in for a deep kiss, tongue not waiting this time to be granted permission as he slips it past the other man's lips, humming into it. every part of him tastes so good that he's sure he won't get tired of drinking him in.
the kiss, as heated as it is, is very brief as Dohalim pulls away and pushes himself up onto his knees again. he moves himself around for a moment until he's settled in between Gepard's legs again, reaching over to the bottle he'd left aside earlier. he makes quick work with unstopping it, coating his fingers with the substance and stoppering it back and tossing it aside again, before slipping his other hand under Gepard's thigh and lifting his leg up enough so he can slip his hand underneath him]
Just relax for me.
[a slickened finger slips in between cheeks and rub against the tight ring of muscle, before slowly pushing in. in no way is Dohalim impatient, amber eyes watching for every movement and indication of whether or not he can continue, or if he should pull back]
no subject
[Gepard practically melts into the kiss, tongue rising up to meet the intruding one as he relaxes back in spite of himself. he's never going to get used to that, let alone tired of it, he's sure. right now, it's enough to leave him panting when the redhead pulls back, half-lidded gaze turned upward. there's similarly no resistance as a hand pulls his leg up by a thigh, a shiver drawing through him in the anticipation of it all.]
I'll do my best...
[his body jolts when one finger slips between his cheeks, a hitch of breath pulled from him as it slowly pushes in. the sensation is-- awkward, but he expected that at least. the furrow of his brows is as brief as a breath, his eyes barely focused as the blond attempts to be both relaxed and aware. it's not that hard, especially when the discomfort fades after a short moment.]
no subject
You're doing so well for me...
[words of encouragement, of course, to distract from the discomfort Gepard is no doubt feeling. but he really is doing well. when his finger bottoms out, he waits for a moment, to let the other Renan get used to the intrusion in him, before curling the digit slightly in search for his prostate. he wants to hear Gepard cry out for him again, to hear his name slip from his lips brokenly as the rest of his defenses crumble]
no subject
Ah... haah... it's already so...
[deep? Strange? Gepard isn't sure what word to reach for, but it's not an unpleasant one. His body feels like it's throbbing pleasantly around the intrusion, leg threatening to tremble with the juxtaposition of soothing motions. No, definitely not unpleasant.
There is a little jolt when that digit curls inside him, a curious little whine on his lips. He wants to ask what he's doing, if that's... necessary, but his answer comes before his words.
It's hard to describe it in that moment; his whole body jumps and squirms and squeezes in response, cock aching against his stomach. He says something, but it feels like a garbled mess of noise instead of real words. The only one that's really audible is Dohalim's name, fingers and toes curling in the bed as the blond's unsteady gaze settles on him. What... what even was that?]
no subject
Mm, that felt good, I wager.
[moving Gepard's leg so he can hook it over his shoulder, Dohalim pushes his hip up to get a better angle as he presses his finger against Gepard's prostate again, this time adding more pressure and rubbing small circles into the bundle of nerves. he tilts his head to rest against the blond's calf, pressing a soft kiss against it as he continues the ministrations]
no subject
What... haaah... what is...
[He only notices the movement of his own body almost distantly, leg hooking over a shoulder and hips rising up sweetly. It's no easier to focus on anything when Dohalim bears down on him again, either. To think he'd have such an easy weakness like this...
Arms fall back on the bed as the wherewithal to move them wanes, taken by the pressure and movement against his prostate. Even his eyes finally lilt closed, body trembling as warm lips press against his calf, hips shifting and rocking into the ministrations. This is... oh, it's wonderfully unfair, and some instinct draws one hand to his mouth to press the back of his hand into it. That doesn't mute his noises much, all whines and slurred mumbles of the redhead's name as his dripping cock pools liquid against his belly.]
no subject
feeling the other man stretched out slightly around his finger, he slowly moves to push in a second one, careful to be mindful of any pain or discomfort and not wanting to take away any of the pleasure Gepard is feeling. digits scissor carefully as fingertips continue to rub against the nerves; Dohalim's eyes wander down to the blond's neglected cock. ah, already so hard and needy even after his first orgasm... a part of him wants to reach down, to gently stroke it, but he feels it might be too much for the captain at the moment. maybe he'll wait until he's gotten used to the sensations]
Are you feeling alright? This isn't too much for you, I hope?
[Dohalim isn't really expecting any coherent words, but he does want to make sure that Gepard is feeling good]
no subject
Dohalim speaks and it takes a short moment for the blond to respond, struggling to focus on his face before managing a nod. it's a little overwhelming, sure, but that's not a bad feeling. above all else, he doesn't want to stop.]
Do... please...
[the words are slurred and lazy, the way he presents himself shameless in his want.]
no subject
but really, Gepard is being so good, and he just looks so pretty. if he looks like this now, Dohalim can only anticipate how he'll look when he finally takes him]
Hm...? What would you like, Geppie?
[...okay, he can allow himself to be a little mean. he'll soon make it up to him, no matter the answer he gets, if he even gets one. Dohalim curls his fingers again, now slowly thrusting them in and out as he continues to stretch the blond, pressing against hot walls]
