[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?]

[foreheads meet and for a moment, Gepard closes his eyes to relish in it. Just being so close to Dohalim, sweet and kind and gentle, it's worth... well, everything. The things he's admitted, the things he may never admit.]

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.]
earthwork: (♪And it's all that I will ever need)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-22 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Nonetheless, I would like to give you that and more, Do.

[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.]
earthwork: (♪To believe)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-23 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I— I haven't... overmuch...

[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.]
earthwork: (♪In a heartbeat only silence)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-23 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's so much he wants to say. He wants so badly to stop Dohalim, to melt into the aching sweetness of that kiss and just... admit so much... but it's not the place or the time. It may never be.]

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.
earthwork: (♪One day I know we will meet again)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-24 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
That's hardly by design, you know...

[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.]
earthwork: (♪Death comes to all)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-24 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
D-do— wait—

[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.]
earthwork: (♪And it's all that I will ever need)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-25 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's n--

[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.]
earthwork: (♪Death comes to all)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-25 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't escape him that this is only one finger, nor that it currently feels so... big inside him. There's no end to his trust in the other man, but he can't help but wonder how he's going to manage anything actually bigger.]

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?]
earthwork: (♪And I'll stand in the snow)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-26 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can't find the words to answer Dohalim amid the sensation of everything, so Gepard simply nods in response. The sheer feeling doesn't really fade either, even as that finger rests inside him. How... indulgent and strange...]

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.]
earthwork: (♪To believe)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-28 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[it's not as awkward, he thinks, the second time. maybe that's just because he feels like he's losing his mind a little, body primed and wanting as agile fingers tease his prostate... it doesn't matter, he supposes. they scissor and Gepard's whines turn a little more wanton, head tilting back just so.

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.]
earthwork: (♪One day I know we will meet again)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-28 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
I-

[there's no way Do doesn't know what he's doing. not when he can see every reaction the blond makes to every single movement, the way his senses seem to depart with every new movement and sensation. something about that fact makes it somehow more enticing, more... intimate.

it doesn't really help him in finding words, though. his breaths feel so ragged, head dizzy, and still he doesn't want to stop.]


I... more...

[that's... about as much as he can gather, in the end. he can only imagine what he's going to be like when it's more than just the redhead's fingers inside him, deep and hot and thick--

subtly, he bites down on his knuckle, trying to find any way to keep his focus. it isn't helping.]
earthwork: (♪And it's all that I will ever need)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-28 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... haah...

[it feels like forever. his whole body feels like it's on fire and only getting worse as movements quicken, trembling at the slightest provocation. Dohalim could do just about anything to him in this moment, and he would probably thank him for it afterward.

there's barely a shift in his brows by the time a third finger slips in; everything feels so pleasantly spread open, warm and pliant, and knowing it's Dohalim above him... ah. what a wonderful knowledge that is. it only makes his anticipation for what's to come greater, even if he doesn't have the sense to demand anything more than he's given.]


Mmn... yes. Hurry...

[Gepard's voice is breathy and light when Dohalim's positioned against his entrance, muscle twitching impatiently. his kiss is still as soft and sweet and gentle as ever, but that impatience is starting to seep into the rest of him. trembling fingers shift to slide over his shoulders, curling against warm, dark skin.]
earthwork: (♪And I'll stand in the snow)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-28 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-

[whose fault is that? Gepard can't even muster the words, especially as he finally pushes in. it's different from everything else. thick and hot, stretching him open an inch at a time... ah. though it threatens to pull the breath from his lungs, Gepard hangs on - it's not painful, after all.

it's just... a lot. he can feel the prickle of wet heat in his eyes as his breaths grow more ragged and shallow, until finally, the redhead bottoms out. ah... ah. he feels so full, and his fingers dig into Dohalim's back lightly. his face nuzzles against the other's, a warm groan escaping his lips.]


Haaah... haah... you too... so full...
