TDM 05



【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.

Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made in our KING SUITES for all new arrivals. We will endeavor to have all guests moved into their reserved rooms as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

As a token of our gratitude for your understanding, front reception has arranged for a GRAND FEAST to welcome our newest guests. The attendance of all guests is required. The house will enforce compliance.

Please note that rank-appropriate attire is mandatory. Guests found breaking social code may be disciplined. We hope you enjoy your stay! 】



ARRIVAL
DIVINE AWAKENING
A cool breeze lofts across the room. Gentle, soothing. Cotton sheets and silken covers slip with the tired stretch of limbs. New arrivals dozing in the comfort of their king-sized beds wake to the balmy warmth of a hazy sun and the rhythmic lap of waves on the shore. Clouds mist around the floor, granting ethereal ambiance. Gauzy curtains flutter, revealing a majestic stretch of sky in all directions. This temple is nestled at the top of a mountain, one where the sea somehow meets its edge.

All King suites have been set to the Heavenly setting for the comfort of these new Wildcards. To call this place a room feels like a misnomer; all of the senses scream that this is a real temple at the top of a crisp oceanside mountain. The only clue that this place isn't what it seems is the door in the distance. It stands dark against light, a stark rectangle distinctly out of place.

New arrivals aren't waking up alone. Reception would never expect their guests to wake up in a cold bed. All new guests will be waking up next to another Wildcard or a current guest snatched up from the hallways. Guests waking up in these heavenly King suites will wake dressed in sheer white tunics and togas that leave very little to the imagination.
MARK OF THE GODS None of the traditional suits have manifested on these Wildcards. Instead, all new arrivals will discover intricate patterns winding their arms and legs, each one different from the next. Thorns, vines, stars, or moons — the commonality of these marks is that they come in either glittering gold or shimmering silver.

► BENEVOLENT DIVINE: Those with marks of gold running along their skin have been identified as benevolent deities. The powers that be have sensed the kind spirit within. All benevolent Wildcards may experience the effects of any RED SUITS over the course of the next two weeks.

► MALEVOLENT DIVINE: Those with marks of silver running along their skin have been identified as malevolent deities. The powers that be have sensed the muck that lurks beneath the surface. All malevolent deities may experience the effects of any BLACK SUITS over the course of the next two weeks.
MADDENING HUNGER Itchy throat, dry mouth. Headache. Hungry. It comes on slow, at first nothing of note. But, surely, it begins to deepen. Grapes don't feel filling. Water barely quenches thirst. All new arrivals will wake up in a state of hunger. They will find that despite the complimentary snacks left in their room by room service, nothing hits the spot.

No matter how much food they eat, these new arrivals, who have been dubbed as divines, won't find any satiation from food or wine. This gnawing hunger is exhausting; as it increases, their strength decreases. They cannot continue on like this for long.

All Wildcards, regardless of divine differentiation, will need to be worshipped for sustenance. Otherwise, they risk falling into a frenzied state.

There are many ways they can be worshipped. While having their bodies worshiped through sex is the most effective, they can find minor relief in acts of praise, affection, offerings, service, and so on. The longer a Wildcard goes without being worshiped, the more their god mark will leech their energy, and the faster they will lose their sanity. Loss of sanity can result in any kind of frenzy, from general mania to breaking from reality.
GILDED CAGE
AN ENDLESS FEAST
Doors to the grand banquet hall of Gilded Cage have been opened. A singular massive table stretches throughout the entirety of the restaurant, every available inch loaded with trays of food and goblets of wine. Waiters seamlessly dip in and out of the kitchens with platters over their shoulders, bringing delectable cuisine from all avenues of every earth around for guests to enjoy. Vibrant fruits, roasted meats, and decadent desserts funnel into the hall without end.

Rugs and cushions have been laid out for low rank guests. All high rank guests have thrones and benches covered in crushed velvet and delicate linens. Wildcards have a seat of honor amongst it all, each fresh new divine lead to the grand dais for their own semi-private tent with daybed and eager servants.

Low ranks are carefully watched by security and wait staff. Some low rank guests may even be dragged in by resort staff to assist serving high rank guests and Wildcards. All high rank guests and Wildcards are revered and catered to during the feast. Low rank guests are expected to feed them, rub their feet, and comply with any whimsical demands. Any low rank guest that defies a higher ranked guest is at risk of being shackled, forced to scrub chamber pots, and other humiliating punishments.
ROYALSRoyal cards are King, Queen, and Jack ranks. All ranks beneath them must comply with their demands, no matter how whimsical or stupid. They are waited on hand and foot, with low ranks throwing themselves forward for the honor of pleasing them. Royals do not need to obey the commands of anyone aside from Wildcards. While it is good manners for a lower royal card to defer to a higher royal card they will not be punished if they decline.

► Royal cards are encouraged to eat, drink, and be merry. Be selfish! Be greedy! Take everything you want! There is no end to the pampering and indulgence offered to royals. Long-standing guests line up to flatter them and give them gifts. Resort staff are desperate to make them laugh or smile. A royal card frowning strikes terror every servant. Resort staff will insist that they seek their own pleasures and not worry about the feelings of those lowly cards. All numbered cards exist to satisfy the royals; being concerned about their peasant feelings is unnecessary.

Royals can command any numbered rank. If they find a numbered rank they particularly like they may monopolize them for their exclusive use. The word no does not exist. Whatever a royal wants, a royal gets. They can also issue punishments to numbered ranks that do not please them. There are guards prepared to discipline servants at their command. They may also dominate unruly servants with their own hands if that pleases them.
SERVANTSServant cards are ranks A - 10. Hierarchy exists within the servants as well. While a rank 10 servant must flatter and please the royals, they may issue orders to any servant rank beneath them. This continues down the line — a rank 6 servant must obey and adore any rank above them but may command and bully any rank below them.

The Ace rank shows its fickle nature. All Ace cards are bottom-barrel servants sitting at Rank 1 that anyone can bully. They are automatically ordered to clean up trash, scrub sticky floors, and dance provocatively for any rank that demands a show.

Servants must obey anyone that outranks them. There are guards standing along the walls waiting to discipline any servant that defies the hierarchy. However, the guards are mostly for show — suits enforce real compliance. Any servant that disobeys an individual who outranks them is at risk of their suit flaring. If their suit does flare, submitting and obeying or an orgasm can abate suit effects.
WILDCARDS ► Wildcards are akin to deities. There is no greater honor than to serve or possess a Wildcard. Royals want to own them and servants want to please them. All Wildcards are showered with endless adoration. Fights break out for the chance to feed them grapes or rub their calves. Wildcards may do whatever they want without consequences, even toward royal ranks.

► Wildcards are encouraged to indulge in the finest of everything. Servants must tend to them and obey their commands. While royals do not need to obey them, there is great prestige in claiming a Wildcard’s affection. Wildcards are encouraged to be selfish and enjoy themselves to the fullest.

► Any royal or servant that satisfies a Wildcard can collect a Wildcard token. This is an electronic token that appears in their bank account once a Wildcard has climaxed during sex. Physically pleasing two Wildcards bring about great blessings. Players may submit two Wildcard tokens under their rewards thread to collect a small item voucher.


PHOENIX CASINO
ALEA IACTA EST
Phoenix Casino has been reborn in antiquity. Stone pillars line the aisles and embroidered linens cast a gauzy filter over every corner of the gambling center. The number of statues has increased, with every corner decorated with marble figures in provocative poses. The feast continues into even here; scantily clad servants and waiters carry around platters of succulent fruits and pitchers of wine.

The game tables are abuzz. Special games have kicked off in honor of the new godlings that are waiting to check in. Even here, those of different ranks are distinct from one another. The lowest ranks wear small slips of clothing. Some are even collared to show they belong to a particular royal or Wildcard. Royals and Wildcards dress luxuriously in thick robes and golden jewelry.

Game managers clap and encourage guests of all ranks to join in on the fun. While there are numerous card games, slot machines, and raffles happening around the casino, staff are promoting three events in particular.
WILDCARD AUCTION ► All shiny new Wildcards have a unique number pinned to their robes. Early in the night these nubile virgin Wildcards will be paraded across the stage and asked to introduce themselves to the crowd. After, the bidding will commence. Don't miss this opportunity to claim a resort virgin and beloved divine!

► Bidding for a Wildcard can get intense! Numerous long-standing guests are already obsessed with these stunning new arrivals and are quick to bid high. Bidding wars can break out at any time. Some very eager long-standing guests are willing to get violent if it means they get to monopolize one of these Wildcards. Security is on stand-by for cases of Wildcard theft; some guests are so desperate for these Wildcards that they'll even try to kidnap them if they see the chance.

► The hierarchy is temporarily set aside for auction purchases. Any rank can dominate a Wildcard if they have the means to bid high enough and buy. In the case of Wildcard purchases, their god marks will force compliance to whoever buys them during the auction.
CASTING LOTS ► This special game of lots is designed for a high rank and a low rank to play together. In the case of guests of the same rank playing together, a coin flip will decide who plays the "low" rank for this game.

► The high rank guest will roll a six-sided die. The number rolled will reflect the game rule by which the low rank guest must try to satisfy the high rank guest. If the low rank guest manages to satisfy the high rank guest they will receive a large payout. If the high rank guest is not satisfied they may discipline the low-rank guest in any way they see fit.

  • ONE: Without using hands.
  • TWO: Using only mouth.
  • THREE: While blindfolded.
  • FOUR: Using only butt cheeks.
  • FIVE: Using only legs.
  • SIX: While remaining on knees.

  • ► The high rank decides if and when they have been satisfied. Work hard, low rank!
    HEADS OR TAILS

    ► What's a casino without a bit of risk? There's a special game of Heads or Tails happening at the game tables. All guests must bet their rank in order to play. Winners of the game will have the option to either swap ranks with the loser, or keep their rank as is and move on to another game. With a little bit of luck, even a Rank 2 can experience living the high life.

    ► All rank swaps are temporary. Winners that choose to swap ranks with the loser of their game will have 24 hours with their new rank before they revert back to normal. They may continue playing on with their "new" rank if they want to test their luck.

    ► Heads or Tails is played with a physical Golden Peacock coin. Players will take turns as the coin flipper, with their opponent guessing if the outcome will be heads or tails. The first guest to reach three correct guesses is the winner.

    BEAK
    ENTERTAIN YOUR BETTERS
    A massive circular arena has been erected in the middle of Beak. Staggered seats rise up to the ceiling, where royals lounge in luxury viewing boxes. The gaping mouth of the arena is wide and desolate. An assortment of weapons, such as spears and shields, hang along stone walls. It waits for the taste of blood and stench of battle. The sound of the audience cheering and booing echoes throughout the Wellness Quarter.

    Beneath the open arena is a smaller closed arena and the warrior’s bunk. Warriors will find cold showers, rustic wooden benches, and training weapons available for their use. Deep in the earth is a grimy prison where servants who refuse to battle are thrown to wait for their turn. There are also cages where the hungry “animals” wait to go out and entertain the masses.

    A long track rings around the perimeter of the arena. Gone is the standard green fuzz and white lines, replaced with stone and dust to elicit the real feeling of running beneath the hot Grecian sun. Foot and chariot races take place throughout the day.
    BATTLE ROYALE ► Numbered ranks have been conscripted into battle for the amusement of the Wildcards and royals. While high ranked servants may be able to wiggle their way out of a fight, low ranked servants will be thrown into the arena without mercy. Warriors that win their battles will be showered in accolades and payouts while losers will be mocked and pelted with rotten tomatoes. Warriors that try to forfeit their match will be stripped naked, strung up on a pole, and mocked for 24 hours.

    ► Battle rules are simple. Any means and methods of fighting are acceptable when in the arena. The arena’s overseer will decide if a battle will end when first blood is drawn or if it will continue until one side can no longer continue. There are rare instances of battle to the death, typically reserved for warriors who have deeply offended a Wildcard or royal.

    Royals and Wildcards are welcome to join in the royale if they wish. They will not be forced and they will be given any armor they want before stepping into the arena. Low rank warriors are given no armor — some may even be forced to fight nude.
    SUBDUE THE BEASTAny numbered ranks that have displeased a Wildcard or royal will be thrown into the arena to fight barehanded against hungry tigers and lions. If there are no troublemakers on hand to throw into the arena for entertainment, low rank servants will be forcibly volunteered instead.

    ► Those alleged hungry tigers and lions? They are other servants dressed up in sexy animal costumes. While staff will take genuine volunteers for this role first, they will forcibly volunteer low rank servants into the role if needed. All costumes are revealing and offer little protection. There is an assortment of looks to choose from, not just tigers and lions, though whether or not a servant gets to pick their outfit depends on how charitable the arena master is feeling.

    ► Matches will end when one party can no longer continue or the audience is sufficiently amused. Royals and Wildcards are permitted to partake if they please, and there will be no consequences if they decide to withdraw.
    RACE TRACK ► Royals and Wildcards are invited to participate in horse racing. Only, there are no horses to be found — all the “horses” are servants! Any chosen servant must carry their master over the finish line. While piggyback rides may make the most sense for a race like this, many of the high class prefer more elegant positions, so anything goes. Horses are required to wear a bridle at all times during the race.

    Servants are also allowed to participate as jockeys as long as they observe the hierarchy. Servants may ride any servant of a lower rank. Aces are ordered to walk around with a poop shovel and bag, even if there won’t be any real horse poop lining the track (probably).

    Royals and Wildcards are also invited to participate in private horse racing. These races involve no track, taking place in the back of Beak in private rooms furnished with cushions and silks. Like with the public races, royals and Wildcards may select any servant that catches their eye. Unlike the public races, the goal here is to make their ‘horse’ orgasm as quickly as possible. Times will be saved on their Watches. The faster a master makes their horse come the more bragging rights they have.

    Servants are once again allowed to participate as jockeys as long as they observe the hierarchy. The higher ranked servant must make the lower ranked servant orgasm as quickly as they can. While the ‘horse’ may offer mutual comfort they will receive no accolades for their skills.
    TALON
    SHOW OF STRENGTH
    Talon is bustling with warriors training for the arena. Several strength building stations have been set up, including benches for royals to perch on while warriors bench press them. Additions have been made to Talon as well; multiple mud pits have been dug for warriors to participate in some mud wrestling between arena battles.

    Servants that appear too fragile to handle mud wrestling have been conscripted into the oil bearer role. Their job is to slather the warriors in oil from head to toe, and otherwise prepare them for their matches in either the arena or in the pit. This includes styling their hair, tending to their wounds, and wiping the sweat off of their bodies if so desired.

    The locker rooms that connect Beak and Talon have been fully stocked with first aid kits and luxury bathing supplies. Warriors that have won their matches get first pick, leaving the dirty towels and shampoo that smells like ass for the losers to sift through. Those sneaky ghost hands are having a field day, snapping rat tails at unsuspecting bathers and locking naked warriors together in the supply closet. Guests lacking vigilance may find their bottoms unexpectedly pinched.
    MUSCLE CONTEST ► Who can appeal to the royals and Wildcards most? It’s a competition based on aesthetics! Strip down, oil up, and flex your muscles to earn a high score from the judges. Royals and Wildcards may issue a score between 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.

    Wildcards and royals are welcome to join in the competition. For some reason, their scores always end up being 10 no matter how skinny or noodly they may be! The flattery and praise for their stunning looks and bodies is endless. No need to work out, my lord, my lady. You’re stunning as is! Truly no body is more perfect!

    Servants are not only allowed, but encouraged, to bribe royals and Wildcards into giving them a high score. While chips and gifts can certainly be offered, isn’t the most compelling argument some hands on experience? Staff will hint to competing warriors that offering sexual favors to the judges may help improve their scores. What better way to prove their physique is the most superior than to put it to work?

    ► Royals and Wildcards may purchase warriors for their exclusive entertainment if they so desire. Staff are eager to impress these nobles and make a pretty penny in the process. While this isn’t an official auction, these sneaky staff aren’t above making sure the elite and their requested warrior are left alone in a locked room. You grease my palms, I’ll make sure that sexy warrior greases yours.
    WRESTLING MATCHES ► Guests will find that a deep mud pit has been added to the front hub of Talon. Servants are stripped and oiled down before being thrown into the pit to wrestle for the entertainment of the nobles. While staff will take volunteers for wrestling matches, they will also grab whoever looks good, even if they’re just passing by! On-lookers place bets during the matches. The winner of the match will receive a small cut of the prize money.

    ► Wildcards and royals may enter as well. Servants are expected to throw their matches if they’re facing a noble… and if they don’t, they may be facing some unexpected consequences! All suits are sensitive to the hierarchy and will suddenly flare if a servant starts thrashing a noble.

    ► During a match-up of nobles, it is expected that the lower ranked noble will throw the match in favor of the higher ranked noble. While royal suits will not flare if this isn’t adhered to, discipline between royals isn’t unheard of!

    Some matches are held under “Special House Rules” — which means that the winner of the match gets to claim and fuck the loser. On-lookers will jeer and demand that the winner publicly fuck the loser where they can watch, but private rooms are available for the winner to claim their spoils of war without sharing.
    WAYWARD ARROWS ► An archery range with targets has been established for warriors to show off their shooting skills. Like the arena, there are benches and boxes for the audience to admire this graceful art — or to throw tomatoes from when a warrior misses the mark! Both servants and nobles are welcome to participate as archers.

    Servants have been conscripted to act as moving targets across the range. They are told to heckle the archers while avoiding their arrows, and only advised that the arrows won’t pierce their bodies if they get hit. It’s all fun and games. We can’t have all of our servants dying en masse!

    During this portion of the games, archers will be given an assortment of charmed arrows with chalk tips that elicit different effects:

  • RED ARROW: Chalk powder from red arrows will trigger an intense need for physical release by grinding, humping, or frotting.
  • BLUE ARROW: Chalk powder from blue arrows is pure aphrodisiac. Inhaling this powder will cause close spike to near-orgasm, one that the target will find that cannot be completed by their own hand.
  • GREEN ARROW: Chalk powder from green arrows will stir neediness. The hit target will suffer cravings to be sticky and hug, climb, and generally latch on to another person.
  • PURPLE ARROW: Chalk powder from purple arrows will cause a bad case of loose lips. This may manifest in a compulsion to loudly speak in pretentious purple prose, dirty talk, or say otherwise hilarious things for the amusement of the audience.

  • ► Effects from the arrows will wear off within the hour. Multiple hits from differently colored arrows can create fun new effects so feel free to get creative!




    INDULGENCE
    DESIRES FROM THE VOID
    The spirit of the festivities rouses something primal. With emotions heightened, the core of the Golden Peacock responds in kind. It drinks in the sweat of the warriors in the arena. Inhales the laughter of the royals using servants as furniture. Basks in the brilliant glow of fresh Wildcards. The portraits in the elevators are rowdier than usual and the chandeliers lining the hallways gleam with new vibrance. Energy is palpable.

    Things begin to move around the resort. The forgotten and the old exhale a dusty breath. Like the hunger that the Wildcards woke up with upon arrival, as its heart begins to beat quicker, there is a tension in the air of those things hungering to feed. To join in, and indulge. To get what they want.

    And they’re coming out.
    GALATEA ► Statues around the resort begin to stir. First it’s with a hazy blink, moving to the slow creak of their stiff mouths. Eventually they break off of their pedestals and out of their poses before clumsily making their way down the hallways, stone feet an emphasized thump with every step. They tremble, their cold stone bodies aching for warmth and human embrace.

    Statues around the resort have begun trying to kidnap guests for themselves. Once they’ve spotted a guest they want, they will stop at nothing to try and drag them back to their pedestal to spend forever locked in love’s embrace with them. They do not need food, drink, or rest.

    There are two ways to put a statue to rest. One is to engage the statue in battle and break off its head. Once the head is broken off, it will cease to have a spirit and crumble to dust. The second is to involve the statue in a physical act of intimacy — have a threesome with it! Or twosome, if someone is willing to watch. In the case of the second, statues will return to their pedestals satisfied upon completion.

    ► Statues that end up destroyed may drop a small lore hint. They will wheeze as their stone begins to disintegrate, their stone eyes dripping liquid gold tears. “I just wanted to feel alive again… I wanted to feel like you again… to be whole,” will slip past their marble lips before they crumble away.
    NARCISSUS ► Gaze into the water. Admire your pretty face, the curve of your lips, the squint of your eyes... wait, are you winking at yourself?! Over the next few weeks, water-based reflections will begin acting of their own free will. They have the ability to move within the scope of the water and speak, their voices muddled but understandable.

    ► These reflections are extremely flirtatious and charming. They smile and bat their lashes, pretending to be innocent while drawing the original owner in closer. How about a smooch? How about more than a smooch? Their whispered promises are sweet. Salacious. Loving. Anything to get closer to you. Leaning in too close to the water is dangerous — these reflections will reach out and try to drag unsuspecting guests in. Whether this is out of malice or affection is unclear, but how can they possibly make love to you unless you join them in the water?

    Once caught, it is challenging to escape from their phantom limbs in the water alone. Several long-standing guests need to be saved from The Nest’s decorative fountain because they keep coming close to drowning after trying to kiss their reflections. Unfortunately, not every location with water is as prepared to save unsuspecting would-be lovers. No body of water is safe — not even a cup of it!

    Reflections will become increasingly indignant if they're ignored. Their sweet words will take a sharp turn into insults similar to, "I'm the better looking one between us anyway!" They may also let slip some personal secrets like, "This is why Johnny will never love you back! You're so cold, ignoring even yourself!"

    Any mention of the fact that they'll end up drowning the character in question will earn a scoff and another small lore hint along the lines of, "Why are you being such a baby? Only the resort can really kill you anyhow. It's not like you'll die forever if I fuck you in here for a while!"
    PANDORA’S BOX ► A spider's web threads through the resort. Invisible, but audible to those that are willing to listen. One of the Punishment Rooms on the maintenance levels is unlocked. Without the padlock on the door to keep them silent, silvery whispers drift up from the basement. A brush of thought, a tickle of an idea that won't quite go away — come down… come down and see… what is inside… don't you want to know?

    ► Those that heed the call and explore the maintenance levels will find the unlocked Punishment Room. The closer one comes to this door, the stronger these voices grow. They will continue calling, eagerly encouraging whoever stops in front of the door to step inside.

    ► The inside of this Punishment Room is plain. White walls, a single card table, and two plastic chairs. A single lightbulb offers a dusty glow. There is nothing particularly interesting upon first glance. Slowly, the door behind will creak closed until it is closed, locking itself in the process. That small lightbulb will begin to dim until everything inside the room is plunged into darkness.

    This Punishment Room senses the worst memories and fears of one of the captives inside and forces them to experience them in real time. The manifestation of memories or fears inside this room are realistic, to the point that it's impossible to discern whether or not this takes place in reality or the mind. The Punishment Room will randomly select which prisoner to dig from if there is more than one, but all guests inside will experience the room's effects.

    ► The door cannot be unlocked from the inside. Someone must either open it from the outside or captives must wait until the punishment is over and the door unlocks itself. How long that takes is random, ranging from a few minutes to a few hours. That’s what you get for listening to disembodied voices!

    ( The battles are so ridiculous. They're impossible to avoid, for ranks as low as him, but there's a bit of relief when he hears the cheers and cries indicating that another battle is going on without being thrown into it himself. This time, though, the crowd seems to be excessively loud. There's laughter, among the cheering and the whooping, like there's a pathetic sight to behold within the mock stadium itself, and that's what has Esikko drawing nearer; that strange feeling in the back of his chest that he can't put words to. Something like familiarity, like... worry?

    Whatever it is, it's not hard to see who is the center of the attention from the moment he steps through the viewing entrance. Red hair like that stands out, especially against the stone and dirt of the created arena, against too-visible pale skin and white cloth. As his steps bring him further into the arena and past the lower viewing seats, Esikko has a number of strange feelings. There's a part of him that would like to see this stranger continue to beat on Fuuta while the crowd watches and pause for cheering in between with how little he can do in return. That's the part he's used to, a bitter, jealous, lonely part that sees Fuuta as an obstacle, as someone not worth what he has. The strange part is that that usual part of himself is currently so dim compared to the strange tightness in his chest he can only describe as worry, as anger mixed with pity, as a frustration that's quickly mounting into something he feels he has to do something about. Stupid, stupid. It does feel stupid. But his legs still carry him across the paved ring around the arena, up past the edge of it itself. The crowd notices only now that he steps into this "spotlight," but there's only murmurs of interest mixed with the usual cheers, and the man is so currently focused on shoving Fuuta to the ground that he doesn't notice Esikko's approach from behind. Doesn't notice until the smash of a smaller glass bottle shattering against the back of his head, the liquid inside immediately hissing and bubbling against hair and skin.

    While he screams and stumbles back, tries to deal with the burning of something like acid leaking from the back of his head down his shoulders and back, Esikko rushes to Fuuta's side with a puff, bending over just enough to offer his hand. His eyes scan briefly to see how bad he's bleeding, where his biggest injuries are, but he can only afford so much time before he has to start worrying about his own wellbeing, too. )


    Get up, there wasn't much in that vial.

    [personal profile] pyrolyzed 2024-08-18 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ It's fucking unfair, is what it is. He'd hated this whole system from the very get-go. Ending up as a rank two out of sheer bad luck, and having to deal with an endless parade of bullshit -- monsters in his room, flooding, damage from random fights, shit treatment from the staff. Now, demotion to literal servant. Having to wait on other guests hand and foot, watching them prance around all high and mighty just because they got lucky. But -- fine. Some threats from the guards had quickly put him in his place, and so he'd been obedient. Gritted his teeth and cleaned some floors and delivered food, figuring that obedience would, at least, let him skate past all this chaos unscathed

    And what does he get in return? Some drunk, high-rank asshole grabbing him when he'd been shuffling around with a mop, whooping that 'we should give those tigers and lions something to play with!'

    From the very moment he'd been pushed, stumbling, shaking, into the spotlight, it hadn't been much of a fight. His stuttered attempt to convince the 'tiger' that this wasn't necessary, that he wasn't supposed to be here, had been answered with a swift punch to the face, and it had only gone further downhill from there. Even the two or three times he'd tried to swing back -- equal parts furious and panicked -- had been swiftly dodged or parried, then answered with shoves and kicks. Truly the equivalent of a cat toying with its prey, egged on by cheers and suggestions from the delighted crowd.

    By the time Esikko intervenes, Fuuta's crumpled to the ground, reflexively cowering as he tries to shield his head. Even the movement of that offered hand earns a sharp flinch at first, and it's only when that nearby presence doesn't immediately hurt him again that he realizes he hears screaming a short distance away, and dares to look up. ]


    Who -- ... [ A stupid question, of course. But to be fair, there's a gash opened at his forehead, bleeding heavily in the way that head wounds tend to do; with blood dripping into his good eye, his entire field of vision is blurry and dyed red, forcing him to squint nervously at Esikko. His panicked brain needs a second to process the familiar voice, and Fuuta flinches again when the 'tiger' gives another pained howl. ] ... why the hell ...

    [ At least he doesn't just whine. Fuuta does take the offered hand, clutching at it desperately as he starts stumbling to his feet. But it's also obvious that his thoughts are fried from panic and pain at the moment. He thoughtlessly clings to Esikko, his voice a frantic mumble between rasping breaths. ]

    -- why -- why do I gotta deal with this ... why again ...

    Calm down.

    ( Esikko's voice snaps through Fuuta's muttering, stern but with an intention to direct, rather than scold. The injuries look like ones he can deal with, when they're in a better spot to, maybe. Ones that won't get in the way of an escape, not entirely— even if they might hinder it. His own body is no better, frail and weak, with a heart that works overtime, and unusual blood that makes his hand cold to the touch even as he's in this tense situation. He pulls Fuuta up in a rush, his eyes focused ahead on the "tiger" as the plant-based potion begins to dry up. He's now missing an ugly section of hair, of some skin, making for a bloodied mess that only seems to excite the crowd further. )

    Let's focus on getting out of here right now, shall we? Save the energy from your words and—

    ( There, the "tiger" begins to run at them, and Esikko clicks his tongue in annoyance that he hadn't been able to buy them more time. Keeping his grip on Fuuta's hand, he yanks him back, his second arm coming to try and make sure that he doesn't just tumble right back down. It means that it's a stumbling duck out of the way of the first punch thrown for both of them, a scramble that creates louder excitement. In the mess of it, Esikko is forced to release Fuuta's hand, balling it into a fist to drive up and into the attacker's stomach with a hiss of his own effort. How do people punch so easily, when it hurts his knuckles? But it buys them another quick second or so, as Esikko turns, gesturing for Fuuta to run. )

    Go, move! ( He hisses it out, moving to do the same before a hand grabs clumsily at his longer pink hair, stopping him short. )

    [ 'Calm down,' Esikko says, and a part of him immediately wants to snap that that's easy for Esikko to say when he's not the one in pain and covered in blood? Maybe it's for the best, then, that he's too frazzled to even be mad. 'Calm down,' he hears, and he actually tries, if only out of desperate hope that he'll be able to flee this ugly situation even a moment sooner. It's not that his fear and panic subside much, but Fuuta does try to gather what fragmented thoughts he can and focus them on what matters -- getting to his feet. Maintaining his balance. Swiping away the blood on his face, from the gash across his forehead and a busted lip and a bleeding nose, and clearing his field of vision as best as he can. Fighting back a terrified yelp as he stumbles along, ducking away from that haymaker aimed that way. And running as fast as his wobbly legs can carry him on Esikko's signal, aiming for the edge of the ring visible in the distance.

    The jerking movements of Esikko getting yanked back by his hair has him screeching to such an abrupt halt he's almost sent bowling over his own feet.

    -- and for one moment, he does seriously consider just running by himself. Saving his own hide, because it's not like he owes Esikko anything? This rescue would only make them even at best? And it's not like he can even do anything in a situation like this? But ...

    For Esikko, it must feel like a terribly long moment that he's left to fend for himself, dealing with that enormous hand tangling through his hair and pulling with a vengeance, the 'tiger' breathing a furious threat into his face. "Let's see how you like it when I pluck your hair out and rip half your face off, you little -- " Then that low rumble cuts off with a sharp snarl as the 'tiger' recoils, fingers abruptly untangling from Esikko's hair with a violent jerk back.

    Because Fuuta's clumsily attacked him from behind, slapping a blood-soaked hand into the man's eyes, and clawing the other into the tender, acid-burnt portion of his scalp. He doesn't cling long to the 'tiger's' back, only digging his nails in once to confirm he's dealt some damage before scrambling away, wincing as he feels the swipe of a hand against the back of his head, the thump of an elbow into his side. Just the impact of landing back on his own feet has his knees folding beneath him, but sheer adrenaline drives him to grab at Esikko's wrist and start running for the perimeter of the ring, each breath coming panicked and wheezing. ]

    ( For a moment, Esikko wonders if he's made a mistake. If he's just risked his own neck to save someone who was going to run off, if there was going to be the irony of trying to save someone who warned him about who he tried to make friends with, who might backstab him. But just as fear and panic begin to set in, as his hair is yanked hard enough to tilt his gaze up, to the higher level of the stands, his own hands reaching up and back to uselessly try to wrestle himself free, there's a sharp yank, and then a release. He stumbles from the shift of it, gasping out in his shock just in time to have his wrist grabbed. The "tiger" swipes at the both of them, and there's a thwump that hits a little too close to their fleeing ankles that he thinks might have been a weapon thrown in to assist the "tiger," but their scrambles seem to be largely working.

    Esikko isn't injured from this fight, but his heart is already working overtime, uneven beats causing the occasional stagger. He catches himself each time, eyes darting wildly from side to side just ahead of them, attempting to map out the correct route. When he finds one, a path through the crowds towards the exit, he shifts his grabbed wrist to grab back at Fuuta all the same, a joined link that he hopes will prove stronger. )


    Hold on—

    ( Because, as he expects, the crowds and guards begin to lunge for them and grab at them as they pass. It's slow, somewhat, for them all to get up, to try and push around others to be the one to stop the escapees— but they're able to yank free in short bursts. The guard at the door, one of the ones that's largely for show, still tries to make an attempt to stop them by grabbing at Fuuta's other arm, but when Esikko yanks Fuuta to himself and bites down hard at the offending outstretched arm of the stranger, he howls in pain and releases near immediately, allowing them both to stumble out. The force and the position means he nearly topples over on top of Fuuta, but thankfully, his free hand catches himself on the arch of the doorway on the way out, using it to launch them both out in their wheezing, less-than-graceful escape. )

    [ Fuuta's not thinking any more, moving out of pure panicked instinct and fear, the sheer animalistic desire to be back somewhere safe. The sight of too many hands reaching for him, trying to grab at him, has his pulse hammering so loudly that he can hear it echoing in his ears, and his field of vision feels like it's getting narrower. (Like he's back in Milgram. Like he's back with those endless voices condemning him, calling him guilty, jeering at him. Like they all want him to die.) Overwhelmed and distraught, he gives a terrified shout as he tugs, trying to free himself -- stumbling forward when the grip suddenly releases. Fuuta doesn't even have the mental capacity to figure out why he's been let go, simply, mindlessly gripping harder at Esikko's wrist and tangling his other hand into the folds of his clothes to better drag him along as they break through the ring.

    It's only for a split second that he dares to look over his shoulder, at the throngs that are still watching them. And somewhere at the very back of his mind, he registers the sight of the guard pointing in their direction, shouting something about their suits, but -- he'll deal with it later. Later, when he's caught his breath, and can hear more than just his pulse, and can actually think.

    For now, he simply keeps running. Maintains that two-handed death grip on Esikko, dragging him along by the sheer force of panicked adrenaline, down the dark hallway leading away from the ring, taking a left, then a right, backing off when he hears sounds in the distance. It's the open door of some sort of quiet recovery room in a lonely corner that eventually beckons to him, and Fuuta wastes no time dragging the two of them inside and locking the door behind them.

    And even then, as his legs buckle beneath him and he slowly crumples to sit on the ground, he's still clutching hard at Esikko, dragging the other down with him. It's painfully obvious that his brain's just about shut down, his gaze directed off at nothing as he breathes in shallow, whistling rasps, shaking a little as he continues to squeeze at Esikko like his life depends on it. ]

    ( For once, Esikko doesn't have anything to say to any of this. He's out of breath himself, his body leaning back against the locked door before sliding down with Fuuta's dragging grip. His heart beats hard, uneven, skipping some beats and doubling up on others, and despite the intense way they'd just wrestled themselves free of everything, he's ice cold to the touch, even now.

    The edges of his vision are dark right now. Even without injury, it's difficult to push his body like this. It doesn't click with him that there's an added softness in the way that he looks at Fuuta's pathetic form right now, that there's a flush spreading through his body from the now bright red mark on the side of his arm. His chest pangs with sympathy, with the way he can relate to that terrified, weak figure right in front of him.

    But he doesn't know how to comfort someone. Doesn't know how to do anything for someone else if it's not finding a way to be useful, somehow. That's why he brings his free hand up to his mouth, bites briefly, enough to draw a small bit of blood— why he reaches cautiously, slowly, gently, and swipes that thumb across the bleeding gash across Fuuta's forehead with quiet whispered words that sound foreign even with translation in place.

    To his dismay, he's not good enough to make the wound disappear entirely. But it's smaller, thinner now, a faint line of what it used to be— and on his own forehead, a matching gash splits beneath his fluffy bangs, only noticeable when it drips his own icy blood, filling the room with the scent of lavender and chrysanthemum. It's strange, how dizzying it feels to transfer and share pain like this. But it still wasn't enough, and the activated flush of his suit is only making that sting deeper. )

    [ It takes a while for his thoughts to crawl back into some semblance of coherency, the dark fog of panic and desperation fading from where it had been clouding the edges of his field of vision. And it helps, too, that that sudden touch to his forehead drags him out of the swirling maelstrom of his throughts, a little closer back to reality. ]

    Nnh, what -- [ Fuuta reflexively jerks his head back, finally untangling a hand from Esikko's clothes to gingerly touch at the wound. It ... feels smaller? ] What the hell did you ... [ -- oh. And the guy's bleeding instead. Great. Fuuta frowns at the sight of blood beading down Esikko's face. ] -- wh -- did you ... don't do that, dumbass. [ Oh, his chest still hurts too much to be talking like this, and his words peter off into a round of shallow coughs and wheezes before he can speak again. ] -- doesn't help anyone if you just move who's hurting around.

    [ Well, at least that baffling action's helped jolt him back to his senses, if nothing else. Fuuta finally releases his other hand from Esikko as well, but only so he can carefully swipe a forearm across his face. To wipe away the half-dried blood, ostensibly, though Esikko might also hear a muffled sniffle; Fuuta's eyes are still a little damp when he lowers his arm. ]

    ... m'fine. [ He is not fine. His limbs feel like they've been reduced to jelly, now that the adrenaline rush is starting to subside, and his chest aches. He feels hot, too, a weird heat tingling through his veins, boiling in the pit of his stomach; stress-related, he figures. Though he isn't conscious of it, Fuuta automatically winds a hand back into Esikko's clothes to anchor him close once more; it feels right, and that body heat helps soothe his still-frazzled nerves a touch. ] Just ... need a little time. To catch my breath. And stuff. Whatever. [ A hard swallow, and one more sniffle. ] ... idiot. You shouldn't've jumped into this if you were just gonna get your ass beat, too.

    Of course it helps, it's a split of the pain.

    ( Esikko still manages to be a little defensive as he huffs that out, but he feels distracted, foggy, his chest swelling with emotions that normally creep up more gradually than this. Concern, care— it had been creeping up, he supposes, against his will. Care for Fuuta, concern for him, relating to him, understanding. But right now, it feels like it's making his chest ache, like the uneven beating of his weak heart is secondary.

    It feels hard to part his hand from Fuuta, even as he shifts to wipe at himself, to come closer only moments later. His fingers hover near his cheek, resisting the urge to swipe over his good eye with a thumb, and instead touching featherlight there, at the cheek, before dropping away. Though he's capable of body heat, and the flush and heat between them now shows as much, his skin is icy to the touch, and his fingers just the same. )


    I'm not the one who got hurt. My body is just— ( There's a breath, a sigh really, and he's ducking his head to try and peer at Fuuta closer, leaning to get a better look. Adrenaline is mixing with the rush of his hearts mark, and along with the almost sickening mash of feelings, of emotions balling up in his stomach, there's the heavy desire to be close. As if reaching out and pulling Fuuta closer might help them both, even if it normally would do the opposite. As if those hands clinging o him are telling him half as much. ) I'm fine. You're not hurt anywhere else? That asshole wasn't stopping, as if beating on someone weaker than you has any bearing towards your own strength...

    Of course he didn't stop. Anyone who likes fighting is an idiot in the first place. [ In extremely typical fashion, Fuuta only gets some of his usual fire back at the prospect of getting to complain about somebody. Even if his voice still comes a little reedy and hoarse, words forced out between still-ragged breaths, some of the usual, try-hard, tough-guy growl he employs creeps back in as he grumbles, ] S'only braindead morons who don't know how to handle things with words that do this sorta shit. You think those sorts of people know when to stop?

    [ Thankfully for Esikko, though, his chest still feels a little too tight to keep bitching. Fuuta cuts himself off with a deep inhale, feeling an oddly familiar heat fluttering through the pit of his stomach when Esikko leans in closer. And then, thoughtlessly -- ]

    Your hand's real cold.

    [ Maybe another person would have meant that statement as a show of concern. Worried for Esikko's wellbeing, if his skin's feeling so icy. But too bad for him, Fuuta is both inherently a little self-centered, and also still too frazzled to show even a pretense at such kindness. The comment about the chill to Esikko's hand is simply an observation, and the setup for what he does next: blearily tugging at Esikko's wrist, guiding it down to touch at his side, where he's tugged up the hem of his ragged servant-clothes, to press against his skin. (It gives Esikko a peek at some deeper, uglier bruises lashed down Fuuta's right side, but he doesn't need to worry about those.) ]

    Nnh ... [ His breath escapes in a hoarse sigh; Fuuta closes his eye as he slumps back against the wall, some of the horrible tension in his limbs easing off. That feels nice. It's the spot where the 'tiger' had elbowed him during the escape attempt, a bruise sure to well up there over the next few days, but the chill of Esikko's palm sort of acts like an icepack; it soothes the dull ache there, replacing it with a faint, pleasant tingle that seeps through his nerves. -- it's just 'cause he was hurt that it feels so nice, right? Surely that's all. ] Just ... stay like that for a bit, okay.

    I tend to run cold.

    ( That's what he puffs out, an air of amusement carrying the words as his hand settles by guidance against Fuuta's side. He notices those marks, and something in his sense of magic feels slightly off about them, something familiar, even— but he's distracted, exhausted, it could be a fluke. And whether or not it is, he knows not to bring up things like that without being prompted. Unlike so many people in this place, he supposes. )

    If you're sore in that spot, I could split it, too. If you want.

    ( The words are soft, maybe too soft compared to the tone that normally comes out of his mouth while aimed at Fuuta. His fingers splay across the tender area slowly, spreading the ice-like touch, before his second hand joins just a moment later. Just as cold, though spaced a little further, and inching the slightest bit further up and beneath his shirt. Just a tad, something he can get away with, he thinks, as he finds himself holding his breath. )

    [ Another hoarse sigh before Fuuta gives a little shake of the head, eye closed as he slouches down to more firmly slot his body against the curve of Esikko's palms, keeping that icy skin pressed flush against his own flushed body. ]

    No ... you don't gotta do anything like that. [ Fuuta groans as he tugs at Esikko's wrist, pulling his arm up to nudge the touch just a little closer up to his chest. ] This is helping enough.

    [ -- honestly, by this point, he should probably cotton onto what's going on. It's hardly the first time that Fuuta's been subject to his suit acting up, after all. He should probably recognize that heady, all-permeating heat seeping through his nerves for what it is. Should probably realize that it's out of the norm for him to feel so soothed by this physical contact, like that's all he needs to forget his injuries, as opposed to wanting proper medical help.

    But also, it's hard caring about technicalities like that when his mind is so eager to focus on the fact that somebody is touching him. Even the slightest shift of Esikko's hand against his side feels delicious, pleasant sparks pinging through his nerves, and Fuuta gives a breathy groan as he slouches down just a little further, nudging Esikko to touch him just a little further up. ]

    [personal profile] loosestrifes 2024-08-28 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
    ( It's a little cruel, the way that Hearts can play with emotions. There's always a nice comfort in physical contact, in being so close to someone else. But when Esikko is nudged to touch more, when he slips his fingers further up Fuuta's shirt and watches the way that his breathing shifts along with it, it's actually dizzying. Because it's not as simple as a bloom of pleasure in his chest, a warmth that spreads from lower— instead, there's a pain like a shadow beneath the rush of pleasure, a constant threat of loneliness, an aching worry in the back of his mind. With each touch, he finds himself wondering if that's the angle that made Fuuta win out, the one that he himself was lacking in, comparatively.

    It's a sickening sort of thing that would normally fill him with anger, would mount rage in a way that was too dangerous. Instead, he wants to chase it even more, wants to feel it for himself, to cling to the closeness that anyone could give him like it might be his last. He exhales a little shakily, his eyes feeling fuzzy as he scans Fuuta, as he finds himself turning into him more, leaning over him. )


    ...Kajiyama. ( His voice is soft, exhaustion mixed with this overwhelming rush of every feeling imaginable. He's realizing, now, that this must be full suit activation. It's the first time he's had to deal with it to this extreme. Before he realizes what he's doing, his lips are at Fuuta's forehead, pressing a too-gentle kiss as his hands continue to hike his shirt up, to dance his cool fingers over warm skin. )

    I think— ( No, it's stupid, stupid to bring it up, to say the obvious. His eyes dart down, to Fuuta's chest, watching his own hand tracing idle patterns. )

    ...Is this still helping?

    [personal profile] pyrolyzed 2024-08-28 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
    [ Oh, it's doing more than just helping.

    The closeness is good. The intimacy, even better. But that little kiss, that soft point of contact -- gentle, almost chaste, but even so, an explicit hint of what more can come -- is enough to push him over some sort of edge. Whatever sliver of self-control he'd maintained promptly unravels, and almost before Esikko can get out that last word, Fuuta reaches up with both hands. It's hardly gentle when he tangles one into the front of Esikko's clothes, grabbing the other at the back of his neck, then yanks -- pulling the other in close for another kiss.

    This one's a far cry from the one Esikko had offered, greedy and ravenous and almost obscene. Fuuta kisses like he's trying to claim something, letting their lips clash hot and hard, dragging his tongue against Esikko's lower lip, pulling back a sliver just to breathe, then nipping at him with jagged teeth, chasing it with a brief pull of suction. Even when he does let the kiss break, coming up panting for air, he doesn't relinquish that grip on him, keeping them pulled close as he blurts out, ]


    Don't stop. [ It almost sounds desperate. ] Keep touching me.

    [ And if he glances down, Esikko will get the confirmation that, yes, full suit activation is at play. With his shirt now hiked up to his collarbone, Fuuta's chest displays a bright red diamond right at his sternum, standing stark even against a backdrop of lurid, purple bruises. And while Fuuta, too, is vaguely aware that his suit must be acting up ... does it really matter why he's feeling so worked up? All that matters now is that he feels like he's going to die if Esikko stops touching him.

    His next breath comes as a breathless whine as Fuuta butts his head up into Esikko's shoulder, nuzzling into the column of his throat and fogging up the pale skin there with his breaths as he mumbles, ]
    It ... doesn't hurt as long as you're touching me.

    ( It's strange, the way those words echo into him so much that he can practically feel it. Don't stop. Keep touching me. Esikko isn't one to follow commands on principle, and Fuuta doesn't have any sort of control over him here— they're on even playing ground, the near bottom of the barrel, with no influence whatsoever on ranking rules. It's just the tug of his own blazing red heart suit, bright and uncovered on the side of his arm, making him feel like those words could mean anything. Like they can tell him he's needed, in some way, that he's worth something.

    It's a sickening twist in his gut, the ecstasy at that feeling and the realization of how wrong it is. Knowing that after this, Fuuta will go back to criticizing him and annoying him at every turn makes some part of him want to dig his fingers into his skin and rip something out— but that instead comes out here as a passionate press into a hungry kiss, a slide of his fingers up and over bruised skin. Emotions sting in his chest, at his heart, when he feels the tingle of hot breath at his throat. His head lifts to welcome it without a thought, his palms dragging over skin, pawing, groping, squeezing and tugging. It's maddening, the intense way his need for more blazes up like a fire out of control— but he's all ice inside, and it hurts in ways he can't explain.

    Swallowing hard, his eyes flick down to that bright diamond on his sternum. His breath is shaky, his mind is foggy, but he finds himself moving before he can even think of excuses to stop himself. Tugging free only enough to wiggle himself lower against Fuuta, working against their height difference to press a cool, tender kiss against bruises and the searing red of that mark. His hands continue to run over him as he does, sliding along his hips and up over his ribs, fingers hiking his shirt up with more insistence to rid him of it so that he can roll over shoulders the same. All the while, his mouth moves to plant kisses, slower, sensual, along his body. The soft focus he gives to the purpling of Fuuta's skin makes his own breath hitch, his eyes lidded as he trails fingers back down him again, this time dipping as far as his thighs. )


    — still?

    ( Still good, still wanted, still needed? He wants to hear it so desperately that he can't see straight, can't hear anything beyond the pounding of his own uneven heart in his ears, and the muffled sound of whenever Fuuta's voice breaks through. )

    [personal profile] pyrolyzed 2024-09-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
    [ It's good. The drag of Esikko's palms over his sides, the brush of lips against his bruised skin, the fog of a cool breath over that sensitive spot where his suit mark lays. It all feels good, real good, and Fuuta reacts accordingly -- he squirms as Esikko's fingers trace up his ribcage, legs jumping when he feels fingertips skimming past his nipples. The tug encouraging him to get rid of his shirt is promptly obliged, and Fuuta shuffles to yank that tattered garment off so quickly that it leaves his hair tousled, his eyepatch tugged slightly askew from the movement. And while normally, he'd hurry to fix something like that, he can't bring himself to care in the moment.

    Because even this, for as good as it is, isn't enough. The diamond on his chest has a pervasive heat boiling in his guts, bubbling so hot that it's almost painful, and this level of touching only barely soothes the ache.

    Does Esikko even need a verbal response to that question, when the touch to his thighs has Fuuta giving a hard jolt, feet braced against the floor as his hips buck; given how flimsy his servant's garbs are, it's obvious he's already hard. And there's a wild hunger to the way his own hands reach up, one snaking under Esikko's clothes to grope at his body, the other tangling into his shirtfront and tugging insistently. That grip won't relent until Esikko dips down for another hungry kiss, all teeth and tongue, and Fuuta refuses to let Esikko pull back until he's gasping for air. His words come wet and guttural, his gaze wild as he rasps, ]


    Let's have sex?

    [ It's uncharacteristically straightforward, as if Esikko needed any further indication of how badly Fuuta's being riled up by his suit's activation. But his desperation is real, as is his singular focus on Esikko at the moment. Fuuta's gaze might be hazy with rabid want, but it doesn't waver an inch from where it's fixed on Esikko's face, even as Fuuta reaches up with both hands to card his fingers through those soft, pink locks; gentle but firm, he pulls the other in for another kiss before pulling back, but only enough that he can speak, still so close that the very air between them feels hot. ]

    I need it -- [ no ] -- you. I need you real bad. Right now. [ The details of the arrangement don't even matter. Whether Esikko fucks into him on the floor, or he gets to rail Esikko against the wall, or even if they just jerk each other off -- any of it's fine. He just needs something, or it feels like his heart's going to explode. His hands drag down from Esikko's hair to grope over his body, insistent and demanding, one daring to slide down his stomach, tugging at the waistband of his pants. ] Take this off, okay? Let's do it. C'mon. Quick.

    ( If he weren't so desperate and lost in the feelings brought on by his own suit, he might have laughed at the bluntness of Fuuta's statement. It's charmingly needy, the perfect sort of thing to hear when he's so thirsty for any sort of acknowledgement that he's wanted, that he's needed. Instead of a laugh, his breath comes out in a shudder, his hands already moving to help push his own clothes down and out of the way, to shrug out of everything in a rush. )

    You too.

    ( Get undressed, he means, but it should be clear enough— Fuuta should already be moving to do as much, and if he's not, then Esikko's greedy hands will meet to help him do just that. Tugging at thin cloth to get it out of the way, he presses his body over Fuuta's smaller form, his lips seeking out his warmth as soon as he's bare, hands sliding down from his hips to move his legs so that he can nudge himself between them.

    Words don't come to him nearly as easily when he's like this, caught in a moment, caught in feelings, caught in the warmth of another body so close to his own. Esikko breathes hard against the delicate skin of Fuuta's neck, reaching to hitch one of his legs up and encourage it to wrap around his waist. His other hand plants flat just to the side of his face, as he pushes him into the ground with a guiding kiss. Quick, he had said, and Esi doesn't want to disappoint. His hand smoothes down the length of Fuuta's bare leg, fingers gripping at his thigh. )


    How bad is real bad?

    ( His words are spun between kisses and deep breaths, and just as the mark on his arm is a bright, vibrant red, his arousal is clear as ever, pressing hard against Fuuta as he rocks into him with a soft little sound. It's hard, not to rush this too, not to go wild without speaking— but he needs more in a few ways, really. )

    Tell me.

    [ His focus had been on getting Esikko's clothes out of the way first, removing that barrier between Esikko's skin and his own hands, but it's not like he needs much encouragement to tend to his own clothes immediately afterward. The moment he feels the pressure of Esikko's body pressing in, but without that delicious contact of skin against skin, he tugs his own clothes aside so hastily that some flimsy threads pop, the whole garment threatening to come apart at the seams. Something that he'll worry about later, maybe, if he can spare the attention for it; right now, all that matters is that he makes as much direct physical contact with Esikko as possible, as soon as possible. ]

    Nnh --

    [ His voice only emerges in a long, low, breathless whimper at first, petering off only when lips press against his own. Leaning up hungrily into that kiss, Fuuta permits his own hands to roam, palms dragging up from Esikko's hips, over his sides, around his back, tracing every dip and curve of his ribcage and back. Esikko might feel the bite of nails digging into his back when the kiss breaks, especially as Fuuta shudders in response to the squeeze at his thigh. At least it's accompanied by a hard swallow, and an almost feverish murmur back: ]

    -- feel like I'm gonna die if I can't have you.

    [ He doesn't even mean it as hyperbole. There's a horrendous ache in his chest, radiating out from his suit mark, and it's only the feel of Esikko's body against his own that wards off that breathtaking pressure. But even just by its own merits, everything Esikko is doing feels good. Hooking his leg around a bony hip feels like the most natural thing in the world, and Fuuta doesn't bother trying to stifle the groan that escapes him as he arches his back, grinding up into that tantalizing weight pressing against him. ]

    S'just -- it won't feel right if I can't have you. Against me. Inside. [ Even saying that out loud earns another hard jolt, his mind spiraling away imagining the sensations that await him, and Fuuta leans into the next kiss pressed against his lips, nipping hungrily. One of his hands slips from Esikko's back to palm at his length, squeezing at it impatiently when he breaks the kiss, but remains leaned in close enough to breathe his words against sensitive, spit-slick skin: ] You get it, right? You want it, too. As bad as I do.

    [personal profile] loosestrifes 2024-09-15 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
    Mm... yeah.

    ( This time, a smile curves at the end of his hum, fingers dancing their way away from Fuuta's thigh and more properly between his legs. He does want it, he wants it more than he can put into words— but he wants this feeling to last forever, too. The feeling of being wanted, of wanting in return, of it being matched. Right now, he doesn't care how this is forced by their suits, or how much either of them might be thinking of someone else in between the motions. Right now, it's just the two of them, trapped in desperation after escaping something that already had their hearts beating fast.

    Precum leaks from the tip of his arousal already, the twitch from touch dripping down against Fuuta's palm. Esikko kisses slower against the corner of Fuuta's mouth, his fingers finally palming at his length, trailing down and squeezing at his balls before dipping further still. There, he traces teasingly around his entrance, encouraging him to spread his legs further. )


    I want you. But I don't have anything on me, you know.

    ( His voice has dropped to a heated whisper, one that's not actually bothered so much as checking for Fuuta's acceptance of the idea. No lube, but they can surely get by without it, right? Heart racing harder, he kisses further along, down to Fuuta's jaw, nipping. )

    Are you gonna let me in? ( Teasing, drawing this out for what he can, he wants nothing more than for Fuuta to demand it further, to beg for it, to keep asking. )

    [ Despite what Esikko might be pessimistically expecting, Fuuta isn’t thinking of anyone else in the moment. Even setting aside his usual insistence that thinking of others during sex is crass — he just doesn’t have any space for it in his head right now. With the influence of his suit cranked up to a roiling boil, any thought that doesn’t have to do with the intimacy that awaits him is immediately crowded out. All that matters to him right now is the fact that Esikko is hot when he smiles like that, that the touch of his fingers feels exquisite dragging across his skin, and that the husky whisper ghosting through the narrow space between them has an electric shiver running down his spine.

    Even with the way he’s biting his lip, it’s audible when Fuuta gives a needy little whine, obligingly spreading his legs and tweaking the angle of his hips to rub himself against the teasing touch of fingertip against his entrance. ]


    Don’t care. [ The lack of lube is a non-factor in his mind. Obviously so, given how heated and hungry he sounds as he slurs, ] I can take it. So just — do it, okay?

    [ Even in his impatience, it falls a bit short of begging. But where he fails in words, at least he makes up for it with actions. Fuuta whines at the next kiss that glosses over his skin before hiking one of his legs up, clumsily hooking his own hand under his knee to better position himself; the other squeezes insistently, spreading the slick of Esikko’s own pre-cum down his length with the a needy jerk of the wrist. Even with how sore his body is bound to feel after all this, once the bruises from the fight begin to bloom, it feels only natural to jerks his hips to better slot his ass against Esikko’s hand, trying to make himself as inviting as possible. Wanting, needing, demanding. ]

    Hurry up.

    ( Bossy. It's so bossy, that if Esikko were in his right mind a little more, he might draw things out, make him wait even longer. He'd live to see that flush on his face, the neediness in his eyes and his mouth, the sloppy jerking along his length that earns a shuddering breath. But while he still is appreciating all of that, there's no patience to draw it out, and a rushed feeling to capture it while it's still here, like it might vanish within the moment.

    So the most he manages is a breath of a laugh, his hand slipping back out from between their legs only to lift to their mouths. Here, he presses two fingers between Fuuta's lips just as he pulls back for air from another hurried kiss. )


    Shouldn't you say please?

    ( But again, it's all he can manage. His own cock twitches at the thought of what's to come, his eyes lidded and focused as he presses his fingers down against Fuuta's tongue and then pulls them out slowly. From there, it's another dip of his hand, a careful press of just one of them against Fuuta's entrance before pushing in. With the permission, he doesn't worry much about the resistance, doesn't hesitate to work slowly past it, curving his finger to adjust him to the feeling of it. )

    Just keep touching me like that. ( That hand, those strokes, as sloppy as they are, as awkward the angle— he's going to go crazy if he doesn't have constant contact like this. His body presses forward with it, working his finger in a little further before he pulls back, and then adds a second. Slow, careful, but still with a clear rush, a mounting desperation between the two of them that they need to resolve. )

    [ 'I'm not gonna beg,' he's about to protest, even in his lust-addled, hungry state. But for better or for worse, the press of fingers against his lips serves as a good enough deterrent. It ends up that only some indistinct grumble escapes him, the noise humming against the Esikko's fingertips where they press against his tongue, before Fuuta closes his eyes. With his usualy inhibitions, bluster and embarrassment tamped down by his suit's influence, it feels like the most natural move in the world to purse his lips and swallow when Esikko's fingers slide deeper into his mouth -- mustering as much spit as he can, and dragging his tongue tight against those digits when they pull out. His own hand squeezes tighter around Esikko's cock to match, slipping up off the head right when Esikko's fingers pull free of his mouth, and Fuuta distractedly licks his lips to catch the string of saliva that breaks from the movement. ]

    ... why would I stop?

    [ True to his word, he's quick to return his hand to Esikko's length, the insistent movements of his wrist pausing only when he feels Esikko's fingers press into him, earning a slight twinge of discomfort. From the way that Fuuta squeezes just a little too tight at him for a moment, Esikko might think that he's about to ask for a pause, but no. It just takes a moment for him to adjust -- squirming, hiking his leg up a little higher, arching his back to tweak the angle of that press into him -- before he's back to jerking Esikko off with disjointed, impatient movements.

    It would be hard to call his ministrations graceful, but could he be blamed for it? It's hard keeping his hand steady when he's so distracted by the movements working him open, his stomach abuzz with anticipation for what's coming next, and it's definitely a little hasty when he abruptly declares, ]
    That's enough.

    [ The hand around Esikko's cock pulls back only so he can shove at Esikko's chest, urging him to scoot back. Is this a little stupid? Probably. Almost definitely. But also, he feels like his veins are going to burst if he has to wait much longer; other hand braced against the floor to keep himself steady, Fuuta looks up at Esikko with a desperately hungry stare as he keeps his legs obligingly spread. ]

    I can take it, so. Just fuck me already.

    [ His own voice sounds foreign to his ears; he's pretty sure it's the sort of stuff he'd never dare say. But what else is he supposed to say right now? All that matters in the moment is that he gets to feel Esikko as intimately as possible, as soon as possible. ]

    ( It's not fair, is it? Esikko is so hungry for more that he allows this to pass without demanding more begging out of him. And the way Fuuta takes his fingers into his mouth like that, the way he can react so easily and drag his tongue against them— it's enough to focus his attention intensely in that moment, enough to find his breath caught in his throat when he moves on. His movements, too— every little inch and twist to bring them closer has his throat tightening and his chest aching for more.

    It's why, when Fuuta demands more, he doesn't take any more convincing. Sure, he could relax him more, could work him until he can't help but plead for it, maybe until he's crying for more— but the impatience is shared. Not only that, but there's a strange feeling of being caught off guard surrounding Esikko's every move. He's normally more in control than this, normally not so lost to the wills of his suit, so affected by every look and gesture that screams Fuuta wants him closer.

    His fingers slip out of him, his hand brushing along the inner side of the smaller man's thigh to settle near his knee, keeping his legs spread as he lines himself up. Even the initial press of his throbbing cock against Fuuta is too much— he lets out a breath, soft and airy, and eases himself in. It's not as slow as he should be, not as careful, but there's something so thrilling about that, too. When he's inside of him as far as he can be, when he can feel the warmth of Fuuta's skin against his own that much more, it feels like he's going to lose his mind. How's he supposed to last like this?

    He doesn't have words, only the noises and pants of breath that come with the satisfaction of pulling back only to rock into him again. Feeling him tight around him, he reaches suddenly to find Fuuta's hand, the ache in his chest demanding the lacing of their fingers as he finds a steady rhythm. His lack of words really speaks more than not. He can't find any of them on his tongue, all of them twisting and crashing and fumbling before they even get there. The look in his eyes is too complex, too needy, too... too everything. Too out of his own control. )

    [ He hates how his suit tends to affect him, he really does. It's only a few times now that Fuuta's carelessly let his tattoo color to this extent, scrambling to take care of it before it can activate to this level -- because he knows if he fails to do so, that damned diamond at his chest will completely scramble his priorities and make it impossible to think.

    Like now, even when the slow push of Esikko's cock into him makes an uncomfortable twinge work through his nerves, his next breath coming halting at the back of his throat, he can't bring himself to care about that. The fact that he's going to be aching afterwards is something he refuses to spare a single thought towards at the moment, because what's important is that they're going to fuck.

    His body squeezes insistent and tight around that hard length, clenching tighter when Fuuta arches his back to adjust the way it sits inside him; when he settles down on his back once more, it feels like the most natural thing in the world to hook a leg over Esikko's hips to pull him closer. And when Esikko's hips finally press against the backs of his thights, seating that warmth completely inside him, his voice escapes in a low moan, that sweet, syrupy noise a fair cry from his usual hostile growl.

    -- fuck, it feels good. It feels so good. Inside, his body clenches and pulses sweetly with each breath he takes, squeezing like he never wants to let go. Even that first rock of Esikko's weight has him squirming as a saccharine heat warms through the pit of his stomach, blooming upwards to ease the unbearable heat emanating from that diamond tattooed on his chest. Even better is when Esikko's hand reaches for his own. Fuuta immediately lets their fingers entwine squeezing tight as he looks up, his expression dizzied with pleasure and words coming sloppy as he slurs, ]


    Lean down. [ Maybe the demanding wording is at odds with the way he reaches up with his free hand, sliding up Esikko's arm to grip at his shoulder and tug gently. And just in case his intentions aren't clear enough, he mumbles, ] I wanna kiss you again.

    ( He's cute like this. Too cute like this, too nice like this, and Esikko is swimming in his thoughts on it like they're clouds, lifting and holding him up, refusing to let him back down to any sort of ground. The way he squeezes around him earns a shuddering sigh, the soft moan of interest unusually soft compared to Esikko's normally confident and oftentimes loud voice. Here, he's too focused to project himself in any specific way, too focused inward on the warmth that surrounds him, the fingers squeezing at his own palm and his own squeezing back, and the way that eye looks up at him like he's everything in this moment. It's an intoxicating feeling, and in the overwhelming lust of their fully activated suits, he's forgotten everything else.

    It doesn't take more than the demand and a tug; Esikko leans down with the next roll of his hips, lips meeting Fuuta's like he's been longing for the same himself. He has, somehow. Somehow, somehow— his mind is flooded with thoughts that he can't explain, can't add logic to, but it doesn't matter, does it? This sort of desire is something he's always wanted, and this sort of need being mutual is something he deeply needs, too.

    His heart throbs hard in his chest as he kisses him with all of the feeling overflowing from it. His tongue presses in, searching, greedily taking up space in Fuuta's mouth with curls that savor the taste of him and drags that are reluctant to part. But he has to line his kisses with little gasps for air, buried moans accentuating the way he presses himself into him further each time, as if nothing can be as close as he wants it to. )


    Kajiyama— ( His name comes in a hushed breath, cut off by the desperate way he kisses him again, humming at the way his whole body seems to light up with every bit of contact. More, more, more— he's greedy, he's needy, he wants to feel this want, wants to draw out as much of it as he can, and so he paces himself until it's almost excruciating, one hand snaking down to touch tenderly at the bruises lining his chest. Each trace of fingers is a kiss on its own, sending a message of longing, of care, of want and of need, and he forgets what he'd been saying with his actual words. His lips are too busy for it, anyway, refusing to part from Fuuta's for more than a second or two at a time, and only ever to crash back into him hungrily. One hand still linked firmly with Fuuta's, the other still drawing the shape of his feelings across the injured body beneath him, he shifts the angle of his hips to try and reach deeper still, to see just how much he can make him cry out in pleasure. )
