[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?]

[He's hyper-aware of the movement of Dohalim's hands, drawing out a little shiver as one slides over his neck and prickles soft hair. It does make him wonder if he's doing enough, if he's missing something. Honestly, it's not like he'd never seen it before, but actually doing it?

His weight shifts when the redhead's tongue brushes across his lower lip, so... gentle in requesting entrance. That's not surprising, except that somehow it is. Is... that something that's also normal? Admittedly, Gepard doesn't really know, but he's more than happy to follow that lead.

If he's honest, he'd follow Dohalim in most anything.

Regardless, the blonde's lips part to let his tongue in, and the sensation prompts another movement. Fingers shift over his thigh to curl around a hip, closing the distance between them a little at a time.]

[It's definitely... different, when Dohalim's tongue slips between his lips, sweet and warm and so much better than the guard could have imagined. The faint note of bitterness from the wine melds with the taste of him too. Something about it is dizzying, almost, dragging him under and into it all.

Fingers pull him just a little closer and he follows willingly, tongue far more clumsy than his partner's. It brings the return of heat to his cheeks, but it's a good feeling. He's sure of that much. Every little noise he makes echoes that pleasure, until finally the other pulls away, just barely again.]


... ah?

[It takes him a moment to register the question, and he can't help but laugh somewhere amid short, slightly ragged breaths.]

No... not at all. It's... I liked it. I hope it didn't... seem otherwise. [He's a little worried. Dohalim clearly has more experience than him, after all...]

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-14 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Dohalim... I am old enough, I think, to be honest if I am uncomfortable.

[Gepard exhales a little laugh as he speaks, a faint shiver slipping down his back as lips brush a cheek. he only nods to the redhead's request, hands shifting and drawing back so they can move. it's... different, yes.

maybe it's just because he always assumed he would be in the opposite place, should be the one leading others. there's a sense of awkwardness in that... but once he pushes past it, being like this is nice. Dohalim is warm beneath him, and lifted like this he has to tilt his head down just slightly to keep looking at him. his hands move to rest on Dohalim's forearms, light and contented.]


... This is fine. I'm... ah. It's just new. If it isn't... too forward, I think I will continue following your lead.

[new, yes. embarrassing, yes. unwelcome? no, he can't say it's unwelcome. not when he can just let his fingers move absently, feeling along soft fabric and softer skin.]

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-14 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever I feel is comfortable...

[Really, he's asking a lot of him. Gepard has practically no idea where to go... but at least his nervousness and lack of experience is accepted. It's a little strange, too. Despite the fact that Dohalim is his Lord, that their positions make this an outright terrible choice, he's not even thinking of that. This isn't something that arose after their deployment, after all.

His thoughts are derailed when warm lips press to his neck, drawing out a soft gasp as they work their way toward his ear. It's a lot more sensitive than he expected - and rather it of instinct, a hand reaches up to thread into soft red hair, head tilting to offer access. As his eyelids flutter closed again, Gepard exhales a shivery sigh, his other hand finally moving to just... feel. Fingers slip beneath delicate fabric to glide along muscle and curves, finally taking in the form he's seen so often.

It would be a lie to say he doesn't admire it, the smooth, lean muscle of another close combat fighter. They're quite different in their personal styles, but... it's nice nonetheless. Even so, he does have... one little question that comes to mind among all this.]


How do you— mmh— focus on anything else when it feels— this nice?

[because he's doing his best, but his whole mind keeps wandering off elsewhere...]
earthwork: (♪And it's all that I will ever need)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-15 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I feel like that should be a mutual—

[hands cup his ass and pull him in closer, and Gepard can't help the groan it pulls from him. Ah, it feels quite nice... of course it would be impossible to hide his reaction with so little distance between them.]

Dohalim... I want to— give you something more too... [this time, it's his turn to cup the redhead's cheeks, his hesitation slowly melting away. He has no reason to question his words, after all, and he just... he needs to taste him again.

It's a lot less tentative than the last, his tongue brushing Dohalim's lips.]
earthwork: (♪And it's all that I will ever need)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-15 08:50 am (UTC)(link)
[it all feels better than it has any right to; Dohalim's mouth is so warm, and the taste of him is more intoxicating than the wine could ever be. more than he could ever hope for. maybe that's wrong, but he just... he can't find it in him to care.

there's certainly no care to stop when the redhead makes that sound, muffled against his lips. firm hands pull his hips down and into the unmistakable bulge of his pants... and the sound Gepard makes is almost sinful really. to think, just his presence, just these small actions, could affect him this much... though he should have guessed, shouldn't he? it's not like the blonde is much less affected.

pulling away for breath, he gasps Dohalim's name, clumsy lips shifting to find his jaw, to follow the actions he's now seen. the guard captain may be innocent, but he's not a fool, and he does catch on quickly. too quickly, maybe; as his lips pick up the taste of his skin, hips roll down in turn, the heat of them both just... absolutely too intense. how is he supposed to stop now?]
earthwork: (♪One day I know we will meet again)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-15 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
[he'll still stumble, he's sure, but... this is something he's wanted. maybe not this specifically, but every touch Dohalim has given him has spurred an equally good one in turn when Gepard tries it himself. that's enough. it's telling, too - thoughts of intimacy are not a commonality in the captain. he's not had enough to be out of his mind enough that they're completely uninhibited, either.

none of that stops the flush of his cheeks when Dohalim asks, truly asks, to take him to bed. there's no mistaking it, not even a little.]


Haah... ah... I would be... beyond pleased if you would. I only hope my inexperience isn't an issue...

[they've been educated enough, at least, that he isn't going to be completely floundering. besides, Dohalim will be leading, right? it'll be fine. just fine... especially since he wants nothing more than to feel those hands on him right now, unhindered by fabric.]
earthwork: (♪Death comes to all)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-15 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
If you insist...

[Oh, but being lifted so easily does things to him. It's never been a question of whether the man was strong enough - they've seen each other train enough times to know they're both plenty strong - but actually being picked up—

As he's laid in bed (a strange thought, still), he ignores the urge to reach out, to help in some way. What would he do, anyway? Help remove his shoes? The other seems fine right now, and he did agree to let him take care of him.

Dohalim looks... radiant above him, positioned between his knees. It's a little embarrassing, but only in the briefest moments of vulnerability. Hands drag over his thighs and they elicit a shivery gasp, a noise that's echoed inv the way his belt moves when his shirt pushes above it. He's hardly self-conscious about his looks, but being observed like this...

He's a soldier, after all. And as one who also fights with his hands, there's no surprise he's covered in scars. Many are remarkably small, all well healed - a testament both to his skill and the skill of their healers.]


Haah... I'll... keep it in mind... and if there's anything I can do to help, just... tell me.

[If he's honest, he doesn't know if he could tell him to stop. The idea of being treated this way is entirely too pleasant - at least with Dohalim. They've most certainly crossed a line, but... it's too late to worry about it now.]
earthwork: (♪And I'll stand in the snow)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-16 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[warmth travels over him, partly from Dohalim's hands and partly just... from the pleasant sensation of being touched. Gepard's breathing picks up just a little, and his response to the words is as simple as a nod and then following them. Really, it's the only testament to his distraction, focus fully on the man above him.

Again, his cheeks flush deeply at Dohalim's compliment, at the way the younger man looks him over, fully in appreciation.]


I'm glad you— approve... mmnh...

[He really is sensitive, especially around the neck, and it's not long at all before his breath gasps and hitches with each little movement. Overwhelmed... no, he doesn't think so. It's different, but pleasantly so.]

Doha—lim—

[Oh, his voice is breathier than he expected. The other will get his wish almost immediately, attention paid to a body unfamiliar with it serving to get him trembling. Lips blaze a searing path over him, and Gepard can't help the way his fingers thread through red locks, kneading and twitching, occasionally tugging faintly in something like yearning.

And before long, there's a little whine that joins every gasp and groan. Does he know what he wants? Not precisely, but it doesn't stop him.]


Do— [another gasping groan, and he's pretty sure he can't manage the man's full name anymore. Is that too quick...?] Do, please... I want... I...

[He's not so overwhelmed as to be concerning, more than he's just... running aground against his own inexperience here. It's not unreasonable that he doesn't have the words to ask for what he wants.]
earthwork: (♪And I'll stand in the snow)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-17 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
What are-

[his voice rises significantly when that tongue lathes over his nipple, just once - he can feel the way his dick twitches in his pants in response, and it is... terribly embarrassing somehow. it's only made worse by the heat of a hand over that bulge, breath exhaled in a shudder.]

I don't- [know, he doesn't finish, a whine escaping his lips. where? he wants him everywhere, he just-- just wants him, more deeply than he's wanted almost anything in his life. cheeks practically beet red again, he covers his face with one hand, hips squirming against the firm pressure.] Just- I want it all, I don't know.

[he feels totally out of sorts, but it's really a pleasant thing. he can't say he normally likes being teased, but even that's just... oh, it's quite nice, if he's honest.]

There-- if I... if I have to choose.

[at least if he's there, his pants will be out of the way soon, right? he's aching too much to think beyond to what that may mean.]
earthwork: (♪One day I know we will meet again)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-17 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
Don't laugh-- you're enjoying this too much...

[he's not mad about it though, not really. as embarrassing as it is, Gepard can't mind it when it comes from Dohalim. that... says some things, probably.]

Ah--haah... D-do...

[lips and teeth graze over toned skin and the squirming comes back with each one, pleasant little noises on his lips. focus is... difficult, to say the least, but he exhales a shuddering groan when Dohalim finally manages to get his belt off and pull his pants down enough to free him. his cock stands proud, pre already beading at the tip, and it feels... entirely too hot, really. that's probably just the anticipation.

that anticipation is taken by soft surprise, a jolt of his hips as breath ghosts over his length, followed by the heat of his tongue. he can't describe the noise it drags out of him, but it leaves him primed for more, peering down at Dohalim through the shade of his hand.]


What... ah... you don't...

[have to? but Gods, he wants it. he needs this teasing to end, but does he really want it to?]
earthwork: (♪Hear my promise of blistering light)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-18 02:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Doha—lim— don't—

[It's such a struggle to form words as the redhead teases him. He looks... Gods, he looks beautiful there, but when doesn't he?]

Don't bring— nngh!— d-duty into this... you're the one that I...

[It's not that he would deny his lord anything, but it leaves a little bit of an uncertainty there. If his lord were someone else, if they had him like this... could he say no? He'd just rather not think about it.

He can't look away, even as his cheeks remain devastatingly hot in response to the sight. Trained on each other, everything feels so much more intimate. And his gaze trembles slightly in the face of every overwhelming sensation, twisting up in pleasure he doesn't know how to contain or what to do with.]


Ah-haaah... D-do... 'm glad—

[it'd be awfully awkward if he didn't like the taste, after all. But oh, the heat of him... Gepard can already barely control his volume, but as every inch sinks deeper into that warmth, he has to exhale a sharp curse. He's not small, he knows that much, so for Dohalim to take it all down is... impressive, to say the least.]

I... ah... fuck— doesn't that— isn't it uncomfortable?

[He can feel the way his cock is stretching Do's throat, even if he can't quite see it. It's tight, hot, alarmingly addictive; the blonde has to wonder how he'd even come to manage it. There's no jealousy in it, no worries over his bed mates (what right could he possibly have to complain anyway?), just... curiosity.

As much curiosity as he can muster as his hips tremble and shift. The urge to buck up is surprisingly strong, but he won't risk harming the redhead.]
earthwork: (♪Now winter has come)

[personal profile] earthwork 2023-08-19 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[well, it's as clear a response as any, isn't it? Gepard gives up on the idea of speech then, watching the haze of pleasure meld onto his face. no, this clearly isn't painful for him. does it really feel that good? the blonde can only guess...

his breaths are already turning ragged before Dohalim reaches for a hand, and his expression is curious and questioning as he follows its guide. he... ah. he really wants him to...? it would be a lie to say he's not nervous at the thought, but... the redhead knows what he wants, doesn't he?

strong fingers curl in wavy hair, still a little unsure, somehow sweet in its kneading motions. it's more for him than the other, really, that he gives him plenty of time to respond... but after a moment, he gives a bracing breath and tightens his grip a little, hips lifting as that hand pulls down. it's- excruciating, almost; he'd thought for sure that all of it was in before, but the choked groan he exhales proves otherwise. fuck, fuck...

there's a sense of difficulty too, in making sure he's focusing on the other Renan. that he'll see it immediately if he recoils, if something seems off or too much or... he doesn't know. anything. the action itself doesn't come naturally in the first place, but he wants to please.]
